Authors: Sutradhar Sarada , Gupta Satish Kumar , Sutradhar Partha Sarathi
Published: December 2024

Background: In India, cervical cancer (CC) is the most common gynecological cancer. This harms the patient's physical and psychological health, lowering their quality of life (QOL). The study aimed to compare QOL of healthy women and cervical cancer survivors in Tripura, India.
Materials and Methods: With a propensity score matching system, this cross-sectional study compared 384 healthy women with 384 cervical cancer survivors. In order to assess sexual functioning and quality of life, we administered three questionnaires: the EORTC QLQ-C30, the EORTC QLQ-CX24 (the cervical cancer module), and the sociodemographic and clinical record form.
Result: Cervical cancer patients had a 64.67±2.68 overall quality of life and global health status. We discovered no statistically significant differences in age, education, economic position, marital status, first pregnancy, or residency between cervical cancer survivors and controls (p 0.05). Cervical cancer survivors reported higher lymphoedema scores than healthy women (p = 0.04). The EORTC QLQ-C30 and CX24 showed significant differences in cognitive ability (p = 0.01) and constipation (p = 0.03) between the two groups.
Conclusion: Research indicates that many cervical cancer survivors can maintain an acceptable quality of life despite their condition. Chemoradiotherapy significantly impaired the sexual functioning of cc survivors in comparison to a healthy control group.

A modified SIR model with dependent infection and hospitalization rates
Authors: Moore Janice , Shillor Meir
Published: December 2024

This work constructs, analyzes and simulates the SIR-IH model, a modified SIR epidemiological model for the spread of a disease, in which the infection rate and hospitalization ratio are system variables. The motivation, in part, of making the infection rate a state variable comes from the observations that the infectivity of a disease, such as COVID-19, has been changing with the evolution of the disease, and not necessarily by the appearance of new variants. Moreover, it may change in time if more than one variant are present. The addition of a hospitalization rate is done to make the model more applied for those who need to make decisions on the preparedness of the health system, in particular the hospitals, in case of a pandemic. The model consists of a coupled system of differential equations, and its analysis shows the existence, positivity and boundedness of the solutions. Then, computer simulations depict some typical or interesting dynamic behaviors, and the way the system approaches the steady states.

Published: December 2024

Mechatronic systems may have modern technologies, enabling greater efficiency, reliability, security and intelligence functions. The conceptual design is an important phase in the mechatronic products development process, because in this phase the product concept and its main characteristics are defined in terms of solution principles for the required functions. Success in developing the chosen conception depends on the maturity of the involved technologies, the development cycle time and the costs involved in project planning. In this paper, it is proposed a method which uses of Technology Readiness Level (TRL) in the conceptual design phase of mechatronic solutions to engineering problems. This method offers decision support to choose the best alternative for a mechatronic design based on the analysis of the degree of maturity. The expected result will shed light on which technologies in the project need further development. The composition of these development needs can be compared with each other and thus show which design is the most expensive or the most viable.  In conclusion, using TRL in conceptual design can enhance project planning by making it more cost-effective and efficient in terms of development cycle time.

Published: December 2024

Este artigo visa analisar o cuidado paliativo por meio da prática da ortotanásia enquanto possibilidade de promover dignidade ante o processo de morrer. A ortotanásia se traduz na conduta de não prolongar a vida de um paciente que enfrenta um cenário de morte certa. Esta prática busca fundamento nos princípios médicos da não maleficência, beneficência, autonomia e justiça. Não mais se garante a perpetuação da vida, sem alicerces, mas se busca a promoção da vida digna. Neste sentido, surge a questão do uso das Diretrizes Antecipadas de Vontade como medidas que garantam a autonomia e a dignidade do paciente com a saúde em estado crítico. Não se importa somente com a cura enquanto bem-estar físico, o foco é, sobretudo, a manutenção da qualidade psíquica, social e cultural do sujeito de direitos. Utilizou-se o método de abordagem indutivo, com revisão da literatura sobre a temática. Como resultado do estudo, observou-se que a ortotanásia possibilita um contexto de combate ao sofrimento ao afastar tratamentos que prolonguem a vida sem a possibilidade de cura.

In spinning production, the carding process has a great influence on the
sliver’s quality, as well as the resulting yarn’s quality properties. This research work was
carried out to substantiate the spinning yarn’s quality by changing the carding release
speed. Changes in the yarn’s quality properties obtained at different carding speeds were
analyzed using laboratory equipment Uster® system. The study’s main aim is to determine
the optimal carding speed required to obtain low linear density yarn. Yarn number Ne 40/1
(14.5 tex) was obtained on a Zinser® ring spinning machine
As a result of the study, it was found that when measuring the effect of spreading
release speed on yarn inhomogeneity with increasing release speed from 180 m/min to 210
m/min with lower value of yarn inhomogeneity, with increasing spreading release speed
from 180 to 210 m/min there is a continuous increase in yarn defects in spinning yarn. In
the study, with the increase in release drum speed, the spinning yarn strength decreased
from 16.8 cN/tex to 16.0 cN/tex. There was an increase in discharge speed from 180 to 210
m/min from 4.2% to 4.8% with low yarn pile. It was found that yarn elongation decreased
from 5.42% to 5.25% due to increase in distributed release speed.

Authors:   Polytechnic University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain, Tkachenko I.M.
Published: December 2024

The dynamic characteristics of strongly coupled classical single-component
Coulomb and Yukawa plasmas are obtained in a non-perturbative approach based on the
free moment model without input of simulation data, so that the dynamic structure factor
(DSC-DSF) automatically satisfies the first three nonvanishing sum rules. DSC-DSF,
dispersion, attenuation, speed of sound, and other characteristics of collective oscillations
are determined only using the static structure coefficient calculated within the framework
of modified or classical hypergrid chain approximations. Good quantitative agreement is
achieved with all available molecular dynamics’ simulation data.

For small values of the Reynolds and Peclet numbers in the Stokes
approximation, an approximate analytical solution was obtained to the problem of the
effect of internal heat release on the motion of a heated solid spherical particle in a viscous
liquid due to temperature fluctuations between the surface of the particle and a region
remote from it. To solve the equations of hydrodynamics, the dependences of the thermal
conductivity coefficient of a particle on temperature in a power-law form and the viscosity
of a liquid in an exponentially power-law form on temperature were used.

To provide the population of Kyrgyzstan with iodine in the amount
necessary for physiological needs, salt enriched with this microelement is used, but the
amount of iodine in it is very difficult to control. A good alternative to iodized salt can be
fermented milk products enriched with walnut leaf extract, rich in iodine. Walnut is a local
plant in Kyrgyzstan; it grows freely in all regions of Kyrgyzstan, but its plant raw materials
are not used in food technology. This paper discusses the technology for preparing
whipped curd dessert with the addition of walnut leaf extract. Adding an extract from
dried and crushed walnut leaves to the recipe for curd dessert does not impair their
organoleptic properties, and due to the high content of organic iodine, this product can be
used to enrich the diet and prevent iodine deficiency.

Trend of effects of various kinesiotaping methods on muscle contraction performance during fatigue: A randomized, crossover study
Authors: Yeh Huan-Jui , Wu Ruo-Yan
Published: December 2024

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of different kinesiotaping methods on muscle contraction of fatigued biceps.

Patients and methods: Between April 01, 2019 to September 30, 2019, a total of 24 adults (11 males, 13 females; mean age: 31.8±6.1 years; range, 24 to 47 years) were recruited in the study. Each participant needed to receive all four types of tape attachment, including facilitation attachment (from origin to insertion), relaxation attachment (from insertion to origin), cross attachment, and control attachment after fatigue procedure. The order of taping approaches was randomly assigned. The outcome parameters were maximal isometric contraction strength, peak contraction speed, maximal 10-s power, and isokinetic contraction work.

Results: The results revealed no significant differences among the four tape attachment methods for any of the parameters. However, the facilitation attachment exhibited the highest trend of improvement in all muscle contraction performance during fatigue, and the cross attachment exhibited the lowest trend of improvement in maximal isometric contraction and speed.

Conclusion: None of the kinesiotape attachment methods significantly enhanced the contraction of fatigued muscles regardless of the attachment direction, including origin to insertion, insertion to origin and cross. Facilitation attachment exhibited the most effective trend of improvement and is, therefore, recommended for clinical applications. Cross attachment was not suggested to use due to the least effective trend.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Male infertility is caused by the condition of male partners, characterized by abnormal sperm shape and decreased motility, called asthenoteratozoospermia. Since active ingredients can regulate biological activity, secretory products from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have recently become objects of interest as drugs. Methods: The study hypothesis is that UC-MSC secretome impacts sperm quality in asthenoteratozoospermia-affected males depending on the parameters of sperm quality, antioxidant enzyme activity, and ROS concentration. The following sperm quality parameters were assessed, viability, intermotility, ultrastructure, SOD, 8OHdG, and catalase. Results: Altogether, findings highlight that the stem MSC secretome isolated from the umbilical cord enhances the quality of sperm and will enhance fertility when applied in the process. It also decreases the concentration of biochemical markers of oxidative stress during the sperm preparation process. For example, it leads to a decrease in OHdG and an increase in SOD. Discussion: The results imply that MSC secretome may be an important therapeutic factor in reproductive health and reduced oxidative stress. According to the data, MSC secretome is likely an anti-oxidative treatment for enhancing the reproductive system

Introduction: The coaching clinic is one of the strategies designed to increase nurses' knowledge in conducting genetic counseling for patients and families of thalassemia patients. Nurses will not only be given information, but they will also be taught how to communicate and how to use genetic counseling to make sure the coaching clinic's goals are met.
Objective: This study aims to describes the effect of a simple coaching clinic on nurses' knowledge of genetic counseling implementation in thalassemia care.
Methods: This research used a quantitative approach and was conducted on August 20th–21st , 2022. The design of this study was quasi-experimental without a control group. This study obtained a total sample of 29 nurses using a proportional sampling technique and inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria in this study were nurses with a diploma degree, an undergraduate education background, and registered nurses. The data collection instrument was a 30-questions genetic counseling questionnaire. IBM SPSS version 25.0 was used to analyze the data using the Wilcoxon test.
Results: Simple coaching clinic proved to have a significant effect in improving the knowledge level of nurses in general with p-value = 0.004. Knowledge level improvement can be seen from Mean (+SD) 53.67 (+13.64) to 69.67 (+8.26). Likewise with nurses' knowledge about thalassemia, genetic counseling and bio-informatics, the majority of respondents experienced positive changes. In contrast to the genetic topic, the majority of respondents did not experience a change in their level of knowledge so that a p-value >0.05 was obtained.
Conclusions: Changes in level of knowledge indicated that the coaching clinic's effects on level of knowledge are significant and have an impact on health services across a variety of health institutions, including clinics and hospitals. As a result, it is critical to have a health strategy that promotes the accessibility of genetic counseling services for patients with thalassemia and other genetic illnesses.

Medieval Foundations for the Development of the Modern Slovenian Nation and National Identity
Authors: Kotar Jernej
Published: December 2024

Although the Slovenian nation did not exist in the Middle Ages, it was this nearly thousand-year-long period that witnessed the gradual formation of certain foundations for its subsequent development. Among these was, first and foremost, the geographical area of the Slovenian linguistic community which was formed once the state border was settled between the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary and once the systematic medieval colonization came to an end. These two processes were also closely linked to the genesis of the Slovenian language, which dates back to the High Middle Ages. However, still older roots pertain to Christianity, the adoption of which brought about profound religious and social changes, coupled with political and cultural affiliation of Slovenian territory to the European West. The article focuses on presenting the above-mentioned three foundations and their part in the formation of the modern Slovenian nation and national identity.
