Authors: Lourenço Gomes Claudia , Andrade Torales Campos Marília
Published: November 2021

Este artigo resulta de uma pesquisa realizada no contexto da Rede Municipal de Ensino do município de Curitiba (PR-Brasil). Objetivou-se neste escrito descrever os desafios apontados por um grupo de professoras para a inserção da Educação Ambiental (EA) na área de conhecimento do Ensino Religioso (ER) por meio da transversalização curricular. O estudo está ancorado em uma abordagem qualitativa, com uso de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Como aporte teórico, utilizou-se estudos do campo da EA: Trevisol (2003), Sauvé (2005), Viana e Oliveira (2006), Meira (2009) e Torales-Campos (2015); e do ER: Brasil (1996; 2017) e Freitas (2018). Constatou-se a partir dos relatos das participantes que existem diferentes fatores que, por vezes isolados ou integrados, limitam a ação dos professores. Esses fatores compõem, com diferentes graus de impacto, um complexo conjunto de desafios a serem superados para que as práticas de Educação Ambiental sejam potencializadas no componente curricular de Ensino Religioso.

:

Vitamin D as a prohormone is converted into the active form in vivo and binds
to vitamin D receptors, exercising a wide range of biological functions. Recent studies
strongly support that vitamin D supplementation is associated with reduced cancer risk
and a good prognosis. Gastrointestinal cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related
deaths worldwide. The key role of vitamin D in the development of gastrointestinal cancer
has been observed. Moreover, Vitamin D can also affect innate immunity and perform
anti-inflammation and anti-infection actions. Given the intimate relationship between
cancer and inflammation, we herein summarize epidemiological and preclinical
studies of vitamin D and the underlying mechanism of its action in inflammation, gastric
and colorectal cancer by our group and other researchers. A beneficial effect of vitamin
D in cancer and inflammatory disease has been supported by different studies. More controlled
and larger clinical trials are needed before a reliable conclusion and realization of
vitamin D supplementation in the adjunct treatment of gastrointestinal inflammation and
cancer.

Published: November 2021

:

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), clinically presented as deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary
embolism (PE), constitutes a major global healthcare concern with severe complications, long-term morbidity,
and mortality. Although several clinical, genetic, and acquired risk factors for VTE have been identified, the
molecular pathophysiology and mechanisms of disease progression remain poorly understood. Anticoagulation
has been the cornerstone of therapy for decades, but data is sparse regarding primary and secondary VTE prevention,
as well as optimal therapy duration. In this review, we discuss the role of factor Xa in the coagulation
cascade and the different choices of anticoagulation therapy based on patients’ predisposing risk factors and
risk of event recurrence. Further, we compare newer agents to traditional anticoagulation treatment based on
the most recent studies and guidelines.
The Antibacterial Activity of 1,2,3-triazole- and 1,2,4-Triazole-containing
Hybrids against Staphylococcus aureus: An Updated Review (2020-
Present)
Authors: Li Jie , Zhang Junwei
Published: November 2021

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), a prominent, highly contagious nosocomial and com-munity-acquired bacterial pathogen, can cause a broad spectrum of diseases. Antibiotic-resistant S. aureus strains, which pose potential causes of morbidity and mortality, have continuously emerged in recent years, calling for novel anti-S. aureus agents. 1,2,3-Triazole and 1,2,4-triazole, the bioisostere of amides, esters, and carboxylic acids, are potent inhibitors of DNA gyrase, topoisomerase IV, efflux pumps, filamentous temperature-sensitive protein Z, and penicillin-binding protein. In particular, 1,2,3-triazole- and 1,2,4-triazole-containing hybrids have the potential to exert dual or multiple anti-bacterial mechanisms of action. Moreover, 1,2,3-triazole-cephalosporin hybrid cefatrizine, 1,2,3-triazole-oxazolidinone hybrid radezolid, and 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine hybrid essramycin, have already been used in clinical practice to treat bacterial infections. Hence, 1,2,3-triazole- and 1,2,4-triazole-containing hybrids possess promising broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against diverse clinically significant organisms, including drug-resistant forms. This review is an update on the latest development of 1,2,3-triazole- and 1,2,4-triazole-containing hybrids with anti-S. aureus activity, cov-ering articles published between January 2020 and July 2021.

Published: November 2021

:

The caspase family is commonly involved in the pathophysiology of acute brain injury
(ABI) through complex apoptotic, pyroptotic, and inflammatory pathways. Current translational
strategies for caspase modulation in ABI primarily focus on caspase inhibitors. Because there are no
caspase-inhibiting drugs approved for clinical use on the market, the development of caspase inhibitors
remains an attractive challenge for researchers and clinicians. Therefore, we conducted the present
review with the aim of providing a comprehensive introduction of caspases in ABI. In this review,
we summarized the available evidence and potential mechanisms regarding the biological
function of caspases. We also reviewed the therapeutic effects of caspase inhibitors on ABI and its
subsequent complications. However, various important issues remain unclear, prompting further
verification of the efficacy and safety regarding clinical application of caspase inhibitors. We believe
that our work will be helpful to further understand the critical role of the caspase family and
will provide novel therapeutic potential for ABI treatment.
Neurochemical and Behavioral Consequences of Ethanol and/or Caffeine
Exposure: Effects in Zebrafish and Rodents
Authors: Connaughton Victoria P. , Clayman Carly L.
Published: November 2021

:

Zebrafish are increasingly being utilized to model the behavioral and neurochemical effects
of pharmaceuticals and, more recently, pharmaceutical interactions. Zebrafish models of stress
establish that both caffeine and ethanol influence anxiety, though few studies have implemented coadministration
to assess the interaction of anxiety and reward-seeking. Caffeine exposure in
zebrafish is teratogenic, causing developmental abnormalities in the cardiovascular, neuromuscular,
and nervous systems of embryos and larvae. Ethanol is also a teratogen and, as an anxiolytic substance,
may be able to offset the anxiogenic effects of caffeine. Co-exposure to caffeine and alcohol
impacts neuroanatomy and behavior in adolescent animal models, suggesting stimulant substances
may moderate the impact of alcohol on neural circuit development. Here, we review the literature
describing neuropharmacological and behavioral consequences of caffeine and/or alcohol exposure
in the zebrafish model, focusing on neurochemistry, locomotor effects, and behavioral assessments
of stress/anxiety as reported in adolescent/juvenile and adult animals. The purpose of this review is
twofold: (1) describe the work in zebrafish documenting the effects of ethanol and/or caffeine exposure
and (2) compare these zebrafish studies with comparable experiments in rodents. We focus on
specific neurochemical pathways (dopamine, serotonin, adenosine, GABA), anxiety-type behaviors
(assessed with a novel tank, thigmotaxis, shoaling), and locomotor changes resulting from both individual
and co-exposure. We compare findings in zebrafish with those in rodent models, revealing
similarities across species and identifying conservation of mechanisms that potentially reinforce coaddiction.

User-Centered Development and Testing of the Online Patient-Reported Outcomes, Burdens, and Experiences (PROBE) Survey and the myPROBE App and Integration With the Canadian Bleeding Disorder Registry: Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Germini Federico , Borg Debono Victoria , Page David , Zuk Victoria , Kucher Alexandra , Cotoi Chris , Hobson Nicholas , Sevestre Michael , Skinner Mark W , Iorio Alfonso ,   PROBE Investigators
Published: November 2021

Background

The Patient-Reported Outcomes, Burdens, and Experiences (PROBE) questionnaire is a tool for assessing the quality of life and disease burden in people living with hemophilia.

Objective

The objectives of our study were (1) to assess the needs of relevant stakeholders involved in the use of PROBE, (2) to develop the software infrastructure needed to meet these needs, and (3) to test the usability of the final product.

Methods

We conducted a series of semistructured interviews of relevant stakeholders, including PROBE investigators, people with hemophilia, and representatives of the sponsor. Based on these, we developed an online survey and a mobile app for iOS and Android. A user group evaluated the final product using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and an open feedback framework.

Results

The online survey was updated, and the myPROBE app for mobile devices and a new application programming interface were developed. The app was tested and modified according to user feedback over multiple cycles. The final version of the app was released in July 2019. Seventeen users aged 23 to 67 years evaluated the final version of the app using the SUS. The median (first, third quartile) SUS score for the app was 85 (68, 88) out of 100. The newly introduced functionalities were as follows: (1) capability to longitudinally track repeated fillings of the questionnaire at different time points by the same participant (as opposed to anonymous completion); (2) linking of the questionnaire with hemophilia registries, starting with the Canadian Bleeding Disorders Registry as a proof of concept; (3) removing or adding questions as needed; and (4) sending notifications to the users (eg, reminders). A new secure database was built for securely storing personal information separately from the questionnaire data. The PROBE online survey is currently available in 96 countries and 34 languages.

Conclusions

The online survey was updated successfully, and the myPROBE app was developed, with a SUS score of 85 (out of 100). The app has been released in 81 countries and 34 languages. This will facilitate data collection for research and advocacy purposes, and the use of this tool in everyday clinical practice.
The Relationship Between Electronic Health Record System and Performance on Quality Measures in the American College of Rheumatology’s Rheumatology Informatics System for Effectiveness (RISE) Registry: Observational Study
Authors: Hammam Nevin , Izadi Zara , Li Jing , Evans Michael , Kay Julia , Shiboski Stephen , Schmajuk Gabriela , Yazdany Jinoos
Published: November 2021

Background

Routine collection of disease activity (DA) and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are nationally endorsed quality measures and critical components of a treat-to-target approach. However, little is known about the role electronic health record (EHR) systems play in facilitating performance on these measures.

Objective

Using the American College Rheumatology’s (ACR’s) RISE registry, we analyzed the relationship between EHR system and performance on DA and functional status (FS) quality measures.

Methods

We analyzed data collected in 2018 from practices enrolled in RISE. We assessed practice-level performance on quality measures that require DA and FS documentation. Multivariable linear regression and zero-inflated negative binomial models were used to examine the independent effect of EHR system on practice-level quality measure performance, adjusting for practice characteristics and patient case-mix.

Results

In total, 220 included practices cared for 314,793 patients with RA. NextGen was the most commonly used EHR system (34.1%). We found wide variation in performance on DA and FS quality measures by EHR system (median 30.1, IQR 0-74.8, and median 9.0, IQR 0-74.2), respectively). Even after adjustment, NextGen practices performed significantly better than Allscripts on the DA measure (51.4% vs 5.0%; P<.05) and significantly better than eClinicalWorks and eMDs on the FS measure (49.3% vs 29.0% and 10.9%; P<.05).

Conclusions

Performance on national RA quality measures was associated with the EHR system, even after adjusting for practice and patient characteristics. These findings suggest that future efforts to improve quality of care in RA should focus not only on provider performance reporting but also on developing and implementing rheumatology-specific standards across EHRs.
Patients’ and Health Care Workers’ Perception of Migraine Images on the Internet: Cross-sectional Survey Study
Authors: Raffaelli Bianca , Kull Pia , Mecklenburg Jasper , Overeem Lucas Hendrik , Storch Elisabeth , Terhart Maria , Neeb Lars , Reuter Uwe
Published: November 2021

Background

The representation of migraine in the media is stereotypical. Standard images of migraine attacks display stylish young women holding their head in a pain pose. This representation may contribute to the social stigmatization of patients with migraine.

Objective

We aimed to analyze how patients with migraine and health care workers perceive online images of migraine.

Methods

The study consisted of an anonymous web-based survey of patients with migraine at the Headache Center of Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin (migraine group) and employees and students at our university (health care group). A total of 10 frequently used Adobe Stock photos of migraine attacks were presented to the participants. Each photo was rated on a scale of 0% to 100% based on how closely it resembled a realistic migraine attack (realism score). Patients with migraine also indicated how much each photo corresponded to their own experience of migraine as a percentage (representation score). We calculated the mean realism and representation scores for all photos and conducted further analyses using the categories male or female models, younger or older models, and unilateral or bilateral pain pose.

Results

A total of 367 patients with migraine and 331 health care employees and students completed the survey. In both groups, the mean realism score was <50% (migraine group: 47.8%, SD 18.3%; health care group: 46.0%, SD 16.2%). Patients with migraine identified their own migraine experience in these photos to a lesser degree (mean representation score 44.4%, SD 19.8%; P<.001 when compared to the realism score). Patients and health care workers considered photos with male models to be more realistic than photos with females (P<.001) and photos with older models to be more realistic than those with younger people (P<.001). In the health care group only, a bilateral pain posture was deemed more realistic than a unilateral pose (P<.001).

Conclusions

Standard images of migraine attacks are considered only slightly or moderately realistic by patients and health care workers. Some characteristics perceived as more realistic such as male sex or older age are in contrast with migraine epidemiology. A more accurate representation of migraine in the media could help to raise awareness for migraine and reduce the associated stigma.

Clinicians’ Perceptions of the Benefits and Challenges of Teleoncology as Experienced Through the COVID-19 Pandemic: Qualitative Study (Preprint)
Authors: Alpert Jordan M , Taylor Greenberry , Hampton Chelsea N , Paige Samantha , Markham Merry Jennifer , Bylund Carma L
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

COVID-19 thrust both patients and clinicians to use telemedicine in place of traditional in-person visits. Prepandemic, limited research had examined clinician-patient communication in telemedicine visits. The shift to telemedicine in oncology, or teleoncology, has placed attention on how the technology can be utilized to provide care for patients with cancer.

OBJECTIVE

Our objective was to describe oncology clinicians’ experiences with teleoncology and to uncover its benefits and challenges during the first 10 months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS

In-depth, semistructured qualitative interviews were conducted with oncology clinicians. Using an inductive, thematic approach, the most prevalent themes were identified.

RESULTS

In total, 21 interviews with oncology clinicians revealed the following themes: benefits of teleoncology, such as (1) reducing patients’ travel time and expenses, (2) limiting COVID-19 exposure, and (3) enabling clinicians to “see” a patients’ lifestyle and environment, and challenges, such as (1) technological connection difficulties, (2) inability to physically examine patients, and (3) patients’ frustration related to clinicians being late to teleoncology appointments.

CONCLUSIONS

Teleoncology has many benefits and is well suited for specific types of appointments. Challenges could be addressed through improved communication when scheduling appointments to make patients aware about what to expect. Ensuring patients have the proper technology to participate in teleoncology and an understanding about how it functions are necessary.

El objetivo de este manuscrito es analizar las características socioeconómicas y familiares de personas de 50 años o más que están en riesgo alto de dar positivo a Covid-19, ser hospitalizado o intubado en México. Para ello se utilizan dos fuentes de información, la base de datos de la Secretaría de Salud sobre Covid-19 y el Estudio Nacional de Salud y Envejecimiento en México, en la primera se estiman modelos de regresión para calcular el riesgo y se aplican en la segunda para analizar las vulnerabilidades socioeconómicas y familiares. Los resultados señalan que el sexo y la edad son fuertes predictores de riesgo alto. Los de menos escolaridad, los que trabajan sin disponer un local, los que perciben su situación económica como regular o mala, así como los que viven en hogares unipersonales, reciben ayuda económica y no económica de sus hijos se presentan como un grupo altamente vulnerable a Covid-19 y sus repercusiones.

The digital geological map of the southern sector of the Mesa Central province is presented, covering an area of ~41 000 km2 in central Mexico. This first interactive map is a compilation of the geological maps available in the literature and the unpublished maps done by our work team. The map focuses on the Cenozoic stratigraphy, supported by a geochronological database of 261 isotopic ages derived from K-Ar, U-Pb, Ar-Ar, and fission tracks methods. The interactive map displays the lithostratigraphic and chronostratigraphic units and the major and second-order Cenozoic faults. Map construction considered lithostratigraphy and geochronological correlation criteria and the main unconformities. Integrating these data in a single digital map allows a regional vision of the southern Mesa Central, making the map a valuable work tool to better understand the Cenozoic geologic evolution of central Mexico.

Pseudo incorrect use of “singulare tantum” forms in social media Georgian
Authors:   Institute of Empirical Linguistics, Goethe University Frankfurt, Pourtskhvanidze Zakharia
Published: November 2021

In language teaching, the standard language isthe basis of the teaching content and offers learners a limited perspective of use in communication. The semi-spontaneous use of language in the web, on the other hand, generates grammatically unconventional forms that are simply declared wrong from the perspective of standard language. Dealing with such forms in second language teaching requires a linguistically based description of quasi "wrong" morphological forms and the consideration of a scientific explanation of such phenomena. The focus in the following is on the use of singular tantum (proper nouns) in the plural. Regular expressions can be used to search for the proper nouns in plural form in Georgian reference corpus in a focused way. In the Internet language, the use of place names (toponyms) in the plural form is increasing, which is simply grammatically incorrect from the perspective of standard language. If the authors of this incorrect use are considered, then it is very probable that there is an intention behind the incorrectness. That is the reason why there is a pseudo incorrectness here. The semi-spontaneous language on the internet creates a specific pragmatic environment in which the expressivity of language is additionally pushed out. Presumably, this increasing expressivity in most cases also affects proper names, more precisely - place names. Thisintentional grammatical errorsuggests a pragmatically based justification for the apparent mistakes. This deliberate grammatical error points to a pragmatically based justification of the apparent mistakes. The speakers put the place names in the plural in order to focus them and intensify the relevance of the meaning. This is a quasi-modal use with the help of the plural. The described pragmatic aspects of the phenomenon give reason to include it in language teaching and to point out that rigid grammatical rules can weaken in certain socio-cultural contexts.

Strategies for Overcoming the Gender Gap by Working Women (Case Study of Russian Organizations)
Authors: Gurieva S. D. , Udavikhina U. A.
Published: November 2021

In the context of the global economic crisis associated with the pandemic, the gender gap index has increased, indicating increasing gender inequalities and, consequently, gender assimilation in society. Despite the fact that in Russia the total number of educated, qualified, healthy, working women is significantly higher than that of men, women face unequal wage distribution and feel the income gap, rarely reach managerial positions, are not represented at high managerial levels, and are excluded from political life. The aim of the study was to identify and examine the specifics of gendered career-building strategies by Russian women as a way of narrowing the gender gap. The following methodological approaches were used to consider gender inequalities in the organizational context: Gender in organization, Gendered organization, Doing & Undoing Gender Strategies. Key results: confirming the existence of gender strategies as a way to bridge the gender gap within an organization; identifying and describing how Russian women apply gender strategies in their career development. The “Doing Gender” strategy was used more frequently than the “Undoing Gender” strategy. However, the scope of Undoing Gender was much wider and more variable. Those women who used a combination of gender strategies (“Doing & Undoing Gender”) rated themselves as “strong players”, emphasized high subjective satisfaction with their lives (having a family and children), and noted a successful career path, unlike those who used only one of the strategies. A combination of gender strategies can help to promote women’s careers in the best possible way and bridge the gender gap in the organization.

Background: Foreign body aspiration (FBA) in the tracheobronchial tree
is a common problem in the pediatric population. Rigid bronchoscopic
procedure is currently the gold standard method for treatment in
pediatric patients, whereas recent reports present flexible bronchoscopy
as an alternative method. The aim of this study was to summarize all
available evidence regarding the application and the success rate of
flexible bronchoscopy in foreign body (FB) removal. Methods: Systematic
review of the use of flexible bronchoscopy as the first-line treatment
in FBA cases in PubMed from 2001 to 2021. Results: Out of 243 citations,
23 studies were included on the use of flexible bronchoscopic procedure
as a treatment of choice in 2,587 children with FBA. The FBs were
successfully removed in 2,254/2,587 (87.1%) patients with a low
complication rate. The majority of FBs retrieved were organic materials
1,073/1,370 (78.3%), and they were most commonly lodged in the right
bronchial tree 708/1,401 (50.5%). General anesthesia was applied in
most studies (14/23) before proceeding to a flexible bronchoscopy and
laryngeal mask airways (LMAs) were mostly used (10/23 studies) to secure
the airway during the procedure. Ancillary equipment, usually forceps
1,544/1808 (85.4%) assisted in the FB retrieval. Conclusion: The use of
flexible bronchoscopy is shown to be a feasible and safe alternative
therapeutic procedure in FBA cases. There is a need for development of
extraction equipment and techniques to assist the procedure. Finally,
future studies focusing on the comparison between clinical outcomes of
flexible and rigid bronchoscopies are necessary.

Let H be a finite dimensional Hopf C*-algebra, H1 a Hopf*-subalgebra of H.
This paper focuses on the observable algebra AH1 determined by H1 in
nonequilibrium Hopf spin models, in which there is a copy of H1 on each
lattice site, and a copy of ? on each link, where ? denotes the dual of H.
Furthermore, using the iterated twisted tensor product of finite +*-algebras,
one can prove that the observable algebraAH1 is *-isomorphic to the
C*-inductive limit ... o H1 o ? o H1 o ? o H1 o ... .

Kenmotsu geometry is a valuable part of contact geometry with nice
applications in other fields such as theoretical physics. In this article,
we study the statistical counterpart of a Kenmotsu manifold, that is,
Kenmotsu statistical manifold with some related examples. We investigate
some statistical curvature properties of Kenmotsu statistical manifolds. It
has been shown that a Kenmotsu statistical manifold is not a Ricci-flat
statistical manifold by constructing a counter-example. Finally, we prove a
very well-known Chen-Ricci inequality for statistical submanifolds in
Kenmotsu statistical manifolds of constant ?-sectional curvature by
adopting optimization techniques on submanifolds. This article ends with
some concluding remarks.

No thermodynamic description was performed for the Co-Mg binary system according to literature review. Consequently, this binary system has been investigated by means of CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) approach in the present work. The experimental phase diagram and thermodynamic data available in the literature were critically assessed. Based on the reliable literature data, a new set of self-consistent thermodynamic parameters for the Co-Mg system is obtained. The calculated results agree well with the experimental data from the literature, indicating the reasonability of the present thermodynamic optimization.
Understanding the gender dimension of low fertility: Employment and childbearing in Europe
Authors: Sobot Ankica
Published: November 2021

In this text, the gender dimension of low fertility is considered on the basis of the relevant literature and statistical data regarding the impact of employment on reproductive behaviour in postmodern societies. A review of fertility rates and employment rates of women with young children from 2010 onwards leads to several interesting observations. For example, during the period of study, the birth rate in Hungary increased, while it decreased in Finland by 0.4 children per woman. The most stable and relatively high fertility rates are observed in France and Sweden. At the same time, the employment rate of women with children aged three to five grew in Hungary, but the employment rate of those with children under the age of three was extremely low. In countries with higher fertility, the lowest employment rates for women with children under the age of three are in Finland and France, but they are about four times higher than the rate in Hungary. During the observed period, the employment of mothers remained stable at a relatively high level in Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands, without differences in female employment according to the age of their children. The fertility rates in these countries are relatively high. The results of empirical research in European countries suggest that the gender dimension of low fertility cannot be understood outside the specific social context, nor without considering the conditions at the micro level. Central to this consideration is the link between low fertility and women?s employment, as raising children is still gender-specific to an extent. However, men can participate in parenthood not only in terms of their reproductive behaviour, but also their right to participate in raising children. In addition, this text identifies negative perceptions of employment that refer to the modalities of worklife balance and the uncertainty regarding female and male employment. Both aspects produce certain effects on the socioeconomic position of the family, which can influence decisions relating to parenthood and the number of children the parents would like to have. In terms of taking action on low birth rates, it could be concluded that endangering families? economic status and reproducing patriarchal gender regimes are not favourable outcomes. This article provides a framework for more concrete research into these issues in Serbian society.
The Role of Social Bonds in Understanding the Pre- and Post-Recognition Effects of Recognition Visibility
Authors: Burke Joseph
Published: November 2021

Distinguishing high-performing employees imposes choices on managers: Is recognition most effectively delivered publicly or privately? If delivered publicly, what setting is best? This paper broadens the accounting literature on the implications of these decisions. Via experiment, I examine how the social bond between recognized employees and those observing the recognition influences the effect of recognition visibility on employee behavior. I find that with weak social bonds, public recognition (versus private) does not result in more beneficial employee behavior. However, when social bonds are strong, employees provide greater pre-recognition effort and respond more positively to public recognition than to private recognition. Overall, my study supports the extensive use of public recognition in practice and helps clarify the collective results from prior accounting studies. My findings also have implications for implementing recognition programs—suggesting managers should consider employee relationships when deciding how and where to recognize their employees.
Numerical analysis of weld bead formation process in the dissimilar material fiber laser welding
Authors: Ai Yuewei , Liu Xiaoying , Huang Yi , Yu Long
Published: November 2021

The weld bead formation process is closely related to welding materials because of the thermophysical properties involved. In this paper, a 3D numerical calculation model to explore the weld bead formation process in fiber laser welding of dissimilar materials is presented. The formed welded joint during the fiber laser welding of dissimilar materials shows characteristics that are different from that during the welding of the same material. The differences in the thermophysical properties between the materials are taken into consideration in the developed model. By means of comparison with the laser welding of the same material, the corresponding formation characteristics of a dissimilar weld bead are analyzed in terms of temperature distribution, molten metal flow, and thermophysical properties based on numerical simulation results. Due to the differences in the thermophysical properties, the weld bead, the temperature field, and the flow field are asymmetric in the laser welding of dissimilar materials. The moving processes of the two sides of the molten pool are extracted and discussed. The influence of an asymmetrical flow field on both sides of the molten pool is the critical factor accounting for the generation of asymmetric behaviors in the dissimilar material fiber laser welding. The proposed method in this paper can be utilized to provide guidance for revealing the weld formation process in dissimilar laser welding and to obtain weldment with high quality in practical welding.

Published: November 2021

High-power laser processing shows increasing importance in the manufacturing industry. Solid-state lasers provide optical powers of several kilowatts in continuous-wave mode with power densities of more than 1 MW/mm2, thus helping to achieve economically relevant processing speeds. However, to minimize health risks due to intense laser radiation, sophisticated safety concepts are required. An essential part of these concepts is the laser-process housing, which typically consists of metallic walls as passive shielding against laser radiation. The standard EN 60825-4 defines requirements and testing conditions for these shielding materials. Here, it is considered that the material durability depends not only on the laser irradiance on the material surface but also on the laser-spot size, which is attributed to hindered heat conduction at the spot edge due to heat accumulation occurring at larger spot sizes. However, this behavior has not been fully understood. In this work, a simplified finite-element modeling approach based on the heat equation is used to simulate the dependence of the material durability on the laser-spot size for 2 mm thick structural steel, a typical shielding material in industry. The calculated times to reach the material-melting temperature are compared with the measured material lifetimes upon laser irradiation. It is shown that the presented finite-element modeling can reproduce the general size dependence of the material durability. Thus, this analysis to calculate the times up to the material-melting start can be used to derive lower limits of the material lifetimes under defined irradiation conditions, suitable for designing the shielding sufficiently.
