Plant extract-based green synthesis of nanoparticles is an emerging class of nanotechnology that has revolutionized the entire field of biological sciences. Green synthesized nanoparticles are used as super-growth promoters and antifungal agents. In this study, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) were synthesized usingMelia azedarachleaves extract as the main reducing and stabilizing agent and characterized by UV–visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). The green synthesized SeNPs were exogenously applied onMangifera indicainfected with mango malformation disease. The SeNPs at a concentration of 30μg/mL were found to be the best concentration which enhanced the physiological (chlorophyll and membrane stability index), and biochemical (proline and soluble sugar) parameters. The antioxidant defense system was also explored, and it was reported that green synthesized SeNPs significantly reduced the biotic stress by enhancing enzymatic and non-enzymatic activities.In vitroantifungal activity of SeNPs reported that 300μg/mL concentration inhibited theFusarium mangiferaethe most. This study is considered the first biocompatible approach to evaluate the potential of green synthesized SeNPs to improve the health of mango malformation-infected plants and effective management strategy to inhibit the growth ofF.mangifera.

Published: February 2023

Forecasting a currency exchange rate is one of the most challenging tasks nowadays. Due to government monetary policy and some uncertain factors, such as political stability, it becomes difficult to correctly forecast the currency exchange rate. Previously, many investigations have been done to forecast the exchange rate of the United State Dollar(USD)/Bangladeshi Taka(BDT) using statistical time series models, machine learning models, and neural network models. But none of the previous methods considered the underlying macroeconomic factors of the two countries, such as GDP, import/export, government revenue, etc., for forecasting the USD/BDT exchange rate. We have included various time-sensitive macroeconomic features directly impacting the USD/BDT exchange rate to address this issue. These features will create a new dimension for researchers to predict and forecast the USD/BDT exchange rate. We have used various types of models for predicting and forecasting the USD/BDT exchange rate and found that Among all our models, Time Distributed MLP provides the best performance with an RMSE of 0.1984. Finally, we have proposed a pipeline for forecasting the USD/BDT exchange rate, which reduced the RMSE of Time Distributed MLP to 0.1900 and has proven effective in reducing the error of all our models.

Published: February 2023

Although nitric oxide (NO) is a known factor that regulates the bone physiology, few and discordant results have been obtained in human studies evaluating the effect of nitrates on bone health. We investigated for the relationship between serum NOx level and incident osteoporotic fracture rate prospectively in a cohort consisting of Japanese women. A total of 871 subjects (67.5 ± 10.8 y/o) were analyzed. During the observation period (8.8 ± 7.2 yrs), incident osteoporotic fractures occurred in 267 participants (209 vertebral fractures, 57 long-bone fractures, and 1 both types). Hazard ratio, by the Cox proportional hazards model, of serum NOx for incident fracture was 0.64 (95% confidence interval 0.53–0.78, p < 0.001) after adjustment for baseline age (1.13, 1.06–1.21, p < 0.001), lumbar bone mineral density (L-BMD; 0.85, 0.78–0.92, p < 0.001), presence of prevalent fracture (3.27, 2.49–4.32, p < 0.001), and treatment of osteoporosis (0.70, 0.53–0.92, p = 0.010). The relationships between serum level of NOx and bone-related parameters were examined by multiple regression analysis; body mass index (p < 0.001) and L-BMD (p = 0.011) were significantly associated with serum NOx level. These results suggest that the low circulating NOx is one of the independent predictors for osteoporotic fracture occurrence in postmenopausal women.
Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on utilization of essential maternal healthcare services in Ethiopia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Mekonnen Birye Dessalegn , Yirdaw Berhanu Wale
Published: February 2023

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant challenge for countries to maintain the provision of essential maternity services. Many women could experience difficulties in accessing maternal healthcare due to transport problems, anxiety, and fear of infection. A reduction in the utilization of maternity services has been suggested as a possible cause of worsened maternal health outcomes. Thus, this study aimed to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the utilization of maternal healthcare services in Ethiopia.

Methods

Searching of articles was conducted from PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google scholar. The quality of studies was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Inspection of the Funnel plot and Egger’s test were used to evaluate the evidence of publication bias. Heterogeneity was evaluated using Cochran’s Q statistic and quantified by I2. A random-effects model was used to determine pooled estimates using STATA 14.

Results

After reviewing 41,188 articles, 21 studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled reduction was 26.62% (95% CI: 13.86, 39.37) for family planning, 19.30% (95% CI: 15.85, 22.76) for antenatal care, 12.82% (95% CI: 7.29, 18.34) for institutional delivery, 17.82% (95% CI: 8.32, 27.32) for postnatal care, and 19.39% (95% CI: 11.29, 27.49) for abortion care. This study also demonstrated that maternal perception of poor quality of care and fear of infection, lack of transport, cultural events, diversion of resources, lack of essential drugs, and lack of personal protective equipment and sanitizer were identified as the main challenges faced during the pandemic.

Conclusion

This study revealed that the utilization of maternal healthcare services in Ethiopia significantly decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Government measures, health facility-related barriers, and maternal-related factors were identified as challenges faced during the pandemic. Thus, service providers, policy-makers, and other relevant stakeholders should prioritize maternity care as an essential core healthcare service. Besides, increasing awareness of women through mass media, and making maternity services more accessible and equitable would likely increase the utilization of maternal healthcare services.

Amazing epsilon-shaped trend for fretting fatigue characteristics in AM60 magnesium alloy under stress-controlled cyclic conditions at bending loads with zero mean stress
Authors: Rezanezhad Saeid , Azadi Mohammad
Published: February 2023

In the present article, fatigue properties (pure and fretting) of magnesium alloys (AM60) under cyclic bending loading were compared. For this objective, a rotary fatigue testing device was utilized with a fretting module on standard cylindrical samples under bending loads with zero means stress. The fretting fatigue condition decreased fatigue lifetime compared with pure fatigue but in an amazing Epsilon-shaped trend. Comparatively speaking to the state of pure fatigue, the fatigue lifetime of the fretting fatigue condition reduced by 91.0% and 44.8%, respectively, between the lowest level of stress (80 MPa) and the greatest level of stress (120 MPa). To study the fracture behavior and the fractography analysis, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was utilized. In general, since both quasi-cleavage and cleavage were seen; therefore, the fracture behavior for all samples was brittle. In both test conditions (fretting fatigue and pure fatigue), at higher stress levels, the average crack length was higher than at low-stress levels. In addition, the number of cracks (in high- and low-stress levels) was observed to be less in fretting fatigue conditions than in pure fatigue conditions, but the average crack length in fretting fatigue conditions in high-stress levels and low-stress levels was 212.82% and 259.47% higher than the average crack length under the pure fatigue condition, respectively.

Published: February 2023

Pandemi Covid-19 membuat masyarakat Indonesia terpuruk dan kerentanan sosial ekonomi menjadi tinggi. Pemerintah melalui kebijakan dan program berusaha mengatasi dampak pandemi dan memulihkan kehidupan masyarakat. Banyak pihak lain telah berkontribusi dalam penanganan pandemi, tetapi masih bersifat sektoral. Dalam pelaksanaannya, masih terdapat kesenjangan peran terutama peran pemerintah lebih menonjol, sedangkan partisipasi berbagai pihak, khususnya masyarakat masih minim diakomodasi. Kenyataannya, langkah-langkah itu belum membuahkan hasil maksimal. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari masih meningkatnya jumlah paparan pandemi. Salah satu strategi penanganan pandemi cukup efektif adalah upaya mengakomodasi modal sosial masyarakat dalam kerangka kerja pentahelix. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa kegotongroyongan dan kepemimpinan lokal menjadi ciri dominan praktik modal sosial di Indonesia. Dalam hal ini, praktik gotong-royong, baik dalam arti organis maupun sistematis menjadi benang sinergitas dan integrasi antar para pemangku kepentingan. Oleh karena itu, mengemas dan menguatkan modal sosial dalam kebijakan dengan kerangka kerja pentahelix menjadi “panah pamungkas” dalam penanganan pandemi Covid-19.

Published: February 2023

Sosial media dianggap sebagai sumber penting dalam mencari informasi ketika pandemi Covid-19 terjadi, juga menunjukkan lanskap media sedang mengalami perubahan. Di satu sisi sosial media menghadirkan informasi sangat banyak, namun banyak diantaranya kurang akurat, sehingga memunculkan terminologi baru yang disebut infodemik.  Di sisi lain, karena sifatnya interaktif, sosial media memiliki potensi sebagai alat sosialisasi dan edukasi program pemerintah.  Jumlah akun sosial media di Indonesia cukup tinggi, sehingga dianggap juga sebagai penghasil infodemik. Hal ini dikhawatirkan mengganggu program pemerintah dalam mengatasi pandemi baik terkait masalah kesehatan maupun ekonomi. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah a) mendeskripsikan informasi yang sifatnya sosialisasi dan edukasi dan informasi yang sifatnya infodemik; b) melihat aktor yang memiliki pengaruh dalam menyampaikan pesan; c) memetakan perubahan lanskap media. Obyek studi adalah percakapan di Twitter selama 3 periode Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB) yaitu PSBB Pertama, PSBB Transisi dan PSBB Ketat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat, pemerintah maupun organisasi masyarakat sipil melakukan sosialisasi dan edukasi Covid-19 melalui Twitter. Percakapan yang bersifat infodemik ditemukan tetapi tidak populer karena tidak banyak di re-Tweet. Dalam menyampaikan informasi, individu lebih berpengaruh daripada institusi media. Sedangkan lanskap media masih dalam tahap transisi. Agenda sosial media masih ditentukan oleh industri media karena jumlah cuitan industri media dominan.
A pedagógusok gondolkodásmódjának vizsgálata
Authors: Dudok Réka , Dudok Fanni
Published: February 2023

Kutatásunk fókuszában a pedagógusok gondolkodásmódja (mindset) és tanári énhatékonysága áll, valamint hogy ezek a konstruktumok kapcsolatba hozhatók-e a kiemelt figyelmet, bánásmódot igénylő gyerekpopulációval. A mindset magyarra lefordítva általános világnézetet, gondolkodásmódot és beállítódást jelent (Dweck, 2015). A tanári énhatékonyság pedig a tanárok azon képességébe vetett hite, hogy hatással vannak a diákok eredményeire, illetve képesek megvalósítani tanítási és edukációs céljaikat (Skaalvik és Skaalvik, 2007). A vizsgálatban 160 fő pedagógus vett részt. A vizsgálat eredményeként azt találtuk, hogy a mintában részt vevő pedagógusok szemléletmódjuk alapján többségében fejlődési mindsettel rendelkeznek az általános és a helyzetspecifikus területeken is. Továbbá pozitív összefüggést találtunk a mindset és a tanári énhatékonyság között, valamint az eredmények arra engednek következtetni, hogy a BTMN-diagnózissal rendelkező diákokat tanító tanárok eltérhetnek a mindset és a tanári énhatékonyság területén azoktól a kollégáiktól, akik nem tanítanak ilyen diagnózissal rendelkező diákokat.
Bird Sound Classification Using Deep Learning
Authors: JAIN UDBHAV
Published: February 2023

With the high advancements in technology and cellular world, comes the frowning situation of endangering bird species. Bird sound classification and prediction model is a step towards the process of conserving the bird species.

The deep learning advancements helps to bring the solution to the problem of bird species identification from audio recordings. It is efficient and economical to identify and classify different bird species by audio recordings using machine learning algorithms and artificial models. Of course, there are challenges like choosing the right model that would minimize the signal to noise ratio between the training and test datasets.

Observing different experiments on a few models, CNN( Convolutional Neural Network ) and ANN( Artificial Neural Network ) promised highest accuracy of which ANN showed results. During the analysis of the dataset and model, the implementation graphical representation of the model performance and visual understanding of the dataset enhance the observation and provide more insightful knowledge of the dataset.

Bird identification is a difficult undertaking that frequently results in ambiguous labeling. Even skilled bird watchers dispute the species of a bird when presented with an image of one. It’s a demanding task that tests both people and computer’s visual talents. Although different bird species have the same core set of elements, their shape and appearance can change drastically. Due to differences in lighting and background, as well as great diversity in stance, intraclass variance is high (e.g., flying birds, swimming birds, and perched birds that are partially occluded by branches). Human knowledge of a species is insufficient to reliably identify a bird species, as it necessitates a great deal of skill in the subject of ornithology. Our study intends to use machine learning to assist amateur bird watchers in identifying bird species from photographs This research provides a deep neural network-based automate model for automatically identifying the species of a bird supplied as the test dataset. For 400 different bird species, the model was trained and evaluated.

Published: February 2023

Este artigo analisa a estratégia do manual didático de estudos sociais das edições Michalany, de 1973, de destituição da História e seus pressupostos em favor dos Estudos Sociais de Moral e Civismo, que terminou por argumentar que a Ditatura Civil-militar vigente se tratava, na verdade, de uma experiência democrática. Como também perceber o destaque para a definição de papeis sociais apresentada nesse manual - e outros documentos educacionais instituídos pela Ditadura no Brasil com a perspectiva de uma educação moral e cívica - no lugar de História e Geografia, como estratégia para resguardar os princípios democráticos na população brasileira em idade escolar, entre 1964 e 1985. Como fontes, foram utilizados o Curso de Estudos Sociais Integrados (para o primeiro grau), de Douglas Michalany, e a Contribuição para o desenvolvimento de Educação Moral e Cívica e de Organização Social e Política no Brasil nos currículos de 1° e 2° graus.

Published: February 2023

Automated planning approaches provide robust and efficient methods to automatically find plans for a given problem and a set of possible actions. However, due to the rather high effort required to create planning models, these approaches cannot be used for adaptable manufacturing plants. In this contribution, we present a method to automatically generate a planning problem in the form of PDDL from an existing capability model. This method eliminates the additional effort required to model a planning problem, making planning approaches usable for adaptable manufacturing plants.

Objectives

This in vivo study aimed to evaluate the effect of various concentrations of artemisinin (Art) alone or together with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) on spermatological indices, antioxidant status, and histopathological parameters of testicular tissue in adult male mice.

Methods

Six groups of five healthy male mice (25–30 g) were randomly assigned to different experimental groups. These groups received DMSO and corn oil (0.1%) as an Art solvent (Control), 50 mg kg−1 Art (Art-50), 250 mg kg−1 Art (Art-250), 50 mg kg−1 Art + 150 mg kg−1 NAC (Art-50+NAC-150), 250 mg kg−1 Art + 150 mg kg−1 NAC (Art-250+NAC-150) and 150 mg kg−1 NAC (NAC-150) for a period of 7 days. Testes and epididymis were prepared to evaluate the malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), spermatological indices, and histological parameters.

Results

We showed that the high dose of Art (Art-250) significantly reduced the sperm count, motility, viability, and the activity of CAT and increased the levels of MDA compared to the control group. Also, the overdose of Art caused adverse changes in testicular tissue. Co-administration of NAC with Art (Art-250+NAC-150) corrected the adverse effects of Art.

Conclusions

The current study reports that a high dose of Art affects, spermatological parameters, antioxidant/stress oxidative status of the male reproductive system, and NAC is capable neutralize all adverse effects caused by Art.

Authors: Huang Juan , Lv Chunhua , Zhao Baoyu , Ji Zhongqian , Gao Zhenran
Published: February 2023

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common tumor in the world. Despite the rapid development of medical care, OSCC is also accompanied by high incidence and mortality every year. Therefore, it is still necessary to continuously develop new methods or find new targets to treat OSCC. Previous research showed that scavenger receptor class A member 5 (SCARA5) was one of the potential biomarkers of OSCC, and its expression is significantly low in OSCC. This study aimed to explore the role and related molecular mechanisms of SCARA5 in OSCC. In this study, we found that the SCARA5 expression was lower in CAL-27 and SCC-9 cells than that in human normal oral epithelial keratinocytes. SCARA5 overexpression significantly inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis of CAL-27 and SCC-9 cells. In addition, SCARA5 repressed OSCC cell epithelial–mesenchymal transformation (EMT), evidenced by increased E-cadherin expression and reduced N-cadherin expression. Finally, we found that SCARA5 could suppress STAT3, PI3K, and AKT phosphorylation. Therefore, SCARA5 was related to STAT3 and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways in OSCC. In conclusion, SCARA5 inhibited the proliferation and EMT and induced the apoptosis of OSCC cells through the inhibition of STAT3 and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, thereby exerting a tumor suppressor effect.

Published: February 2023

Metasurface technology is revolutionizing the field of optics and pursuing expanded functions via technical developments, such as the integration of multiple metasurfaces with optical fibers. Despite several attempts to realize metasurface-on-fiber platforms, negligible fiber-facet areas pose a serious obstacle to efficient and precise fabrication. Herein, we demonstrate a novel sequential micro-punching process that enables rapid and precise stacking of multiple polymer metasurfaces on the end face of a single-mode optical fiber. Mesh-type nanohole metasurfaces are fabricated on a 1.8-μm-thick polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) layer via e-beam lithography, and the PMMA layer is separated from the substrate and prepared in the form of a membrane using the external frame. Furthermore, the PMMA metasurfaces are sequentially punched through the fiber and stacked on top. Employing a micro-punching process, we demonstrate highly efficient all-polymer metalenses and orbital angular momentum (OAM) metasurfaces coupled with single-mode fibers operating in the telecommunication band. A 1550 nm laser beam passing through three metalens layers stacked on the fiber is focused at a distance of 135 μm with 83% efficiency. In addition, the 1550 nm beam passing through three OAM metasurfaces on the fiber is converted into a perfect vortex beam with a topological charge of 3. We believe that our proposed micro-punching process will cause a breakthrough in the fabrication of metasurface-integrated optical fibers that will be utilized in a wide range of applications.

Published: February 2023

Social determinants of health (SDoH) play an essential role in the risk of developing diseases or medical disorders. Conducting a comprehensive retrospective analysis is necessary to better understand the development status, research hotspots, and development trends of SDoH research. The bibliometric analysis method is applied based on CiteSpace and VOS viewer to quantitatively analyze and visually review the articles published in the field of SDoH from Web of Science core databases from 2000 to 2021. We quantitatively analyzed the author, institution, and other basic information to probe the development of SDoH and then visually investigated the high-frequency keywords, burst keywords, and keyword clusters to understand better the evolution of hotspots and development directions of SDoH during the study period. Health inequality is the main keyword of the SDoH field, and disease burden is expected to maintain a hotspot in recent years. Further, research methodologies could be improved to explain how upstream SDoH influences human lived experience. Additionally, the SDoH field needs to utilize the horizons of the multidisciplinary approach to consider and discuss sustainable development issues to offer implications for health improvement policy and interventions.
On the boundary properties of Bernstein estimators on the simplex
Authors: Ouimet Frédéric
Published: February 2023

In this paper, we study the asymptotic properties (bias, variance, mean squared error) of Bernstein estimators for cumulative distribution functions and density functions near and on the boundary of the d-dimensional simplex. Our results generalize those found by Leblanc (2012b), who treated the case d = 1, and complement the results from Ouimet (2021a) in the interior of the simplex. Since the “edges” of the d-dimensional simplex have dimensions going from 0 (vertices) up to d − 1 (facets) and our kernel function is multinomial, the asymptotic expressions for the bias, variance and mean squared error are not straightforward extensions of one-dimensional asymptotics as they would be for product-type estimators studied by almost all past authors in the context of Bernstein estimators or asymmetric kernel estimators. This point makes the mathematical analysis much more interesting.

New forms of tradition?Anna Mária Bólya
The questioning of my post concerns all ethnographic researchers. The entire ethnographic literature confirms the culture that we call traditional, which has been sustainable for tens of thousands of years, practically no longer exists or transformed in areas of the world imbued with global culture. A parallel process is the emergence of the profane thinking described by Eliade, which emerges with the transformation of the past, human-scaled religious thinking, consists of the surrogates of religious models of the pre-modern human. I willtake a concrete example: in connection with the celebration of very significant Twelfthday/ Epiphany customs and extensive physical contact with water in the orthodox world today, I ask the question: whether the traditional forms of action themselves can be revived. Even without the original folk belief content.

Miként függ össze a tudás évszázadában az új kulturális környezethez való alkalmazkodás és a demokrácia minősége?

How do adaptation to the new cultural environment and the quality of democracy in the century of knowledge relate?Tamás BrachingerThe lying as a political tool is hardly new. But the propensity to deceive, and even enthusiasm, has become a driving force around the world. I most focus on two factors. Political bias is a bias or perceived bias involving the slanting or altering of information to make a political position or political candidate seem more attractive. Bias emerges in a political context when individualsengage in an inability or an unwillingness to understand a politically opposing point of view. Post-truth politics is a political culture in which debate is framed largely by appeals to emotion disconnected from the details of policy, and by the repeated assertion of talking points to which factual rebuttals are ignored. Post-truth differs from traditional contesting and falsifying of facts byrelegating facts and expert opinions to be of secondary importance relative to appeal to emotion.

This study aimed to evaluate the evidence available in the literature about the perioperative care provided to women submitted to mastectomy. An integrative review of scientific literature conducted in MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS, and SciELO databases, published from 2000 to 2011, using the controlled descriptors: preoperative care; preoperative period; intraoperative care; intraoperative period; postoperative care; postoperative period; perioperative care; perioperative period; and mastectomy. The sample of this review consisted of seven articles. The evidence pointed as perioperative care of mastectomy the pharmacological management of pain in different surgical periods. Despite the difficulty in presenting a consensus of evidence for perioperative care of mastectomy, there was concern on the part of professionals to minimize/prevent pre-, intra- and post-operative pain. Nursing should be aware, both of the update of pharmacological treatments in pain management and the development of future research related to nursing care in the perioperative period of mastectomy.

Procreation in the Sephardic Jewish Communities of Istanbul, Salonica, and Izmir from 1500–1850
Authors:   Ariel University, Israel, Bornstein-Makovetsky Leah
Published: February 2023

The desire to raise a family with as many children as possible was a major aspiration of Jewish families in the Ottoman Empire for centuries. Many halakhic responses and other sources address this subject and its impact on Jewish families and society. This paper reviews how Sephardic Jewish society in the Ottoman cities of Istanbul, Izmir and Salonica (Thessaloniki) grappled with the reality of barren men and women – which was quite common – from 1500-1850, and how Jewish courts resolved cases that involved men’s requests to marry a second wife in order to fulfill the commandment of procreation. It discusses how the desire to procreate was realized through the institution of marriage, the undesirability of single life, the age at marriage, yibum (levirate marriage), women’s desire for children, the impact of kabbalah on fulfillment of the commandments, contraception, fertility treatments, the effect of child mortality on parents, and how the longing for children affected the private life of prominent individuals.
Wpływ zimnej wojny na ukształtowanie i rozwój międzynarodowego prawa kosmicznego

The beginning of the Cold War took place with the collapse of the anti-Hitler coalition in 1945, and the conflict itself lasted until the collapse and disintegration of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1991. The Cold War arms race was a manifestation of the multifaceted rivalry between East and West. One sphere of conflict was the space race. The apogee of the space race occurred between 1957 and 1985. With the launch of the first artificial satellite “Sputnik 1” in 1957 by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics into orbit around the Earth, efforts to conquer space began. The main research objective of this article is to answer the question of how the Cold War influenced the formation and development of international space law. The author will also provide answers to specific research questions, such as: How was the space policy of the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics shaped during the Cold War? What legal matter was regulated in acts of international space law during the Cold War period? How did the norms and principles of international space law introduced during the Cold War period affect relations between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? To verify the main research objective and research questions, the author used the dogmatic-legal method to systematize the international legal norms governing space activity during the Cold War conflict. The main sources used in the article are the international conventions developed on the grounds of the United Nations, data containing summaries of the most important space missions in the period from 1957 to 1985, and the body of doctrine of international space law from the Cold War era.

Published: February 2023

From the perspective of user needs, a design evaluation system for dining room chairs that can meet user needs was established. Based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the user needs of a dining room chair were quantitatively analyzed by combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Moreover, the comprehensive weight ranking of 14 factors in the object hierarchy was obtained, which provided the design focus and quantitative indexes for designers in the early stage of dining room chair design. Then, in the later stage of dining room chair design, the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method was used to quantitatively evaluate the three design schemes and obtain the optimal design scheme. The experimental results showed that the user needs evaluation results were positively correlated with the “excellent” grade in the FAHP method. This indicated that the evaluation system realized a symmetry, reliability, and effectiveness between the user needs evaluation and FAHP. Therefore, it can be concluded that this evaluation system based on AHP and FAHP proposed in this study has reliability and validity, and it can be used for design evaluation to judge the popularity of products, enhance the competitiveness of products, and reduce product design costs.

In this work, was conducted research to improve the structure and properties of cast magnesium alloy NZ30K by doping with gold, for use in osteosynthesis. Gold is a safe alloying element for the human body. The effect of alloying 0.05%, 0.1% and 0.2% Au of magnesium alloy NZ30K was investigated in this work. A qualitative and quantitative assessment of the structural components of the alloy was carried out. It was shown that gold was part of the complex doped intermetallic phases, which were additional centers of crystallization. It was established that the optimal complex of properties is achieved by introducing 0.1%Au. At the same time, the average grain size is reduced by 52.4% compared to the original alloy. It was found that for the NZ30K+0.1%Au alloy, simultaneous increase in the strength limit by 7.8% and increase in the relative elongation by almost two times was observed. It was investigated the possibility of using a biodegradable magnesium alloy in the manufacture of fixators during osteosynthesis, biocorrosion processes. It was found that the addition of 0.1% Au slows down the biocorrosion processes and contributes to maintaining a high level of strength limit (σB = 200MPa) after exposure for 6 months in a gelofusin solution. Therefore, gold is a promising material for improving the structure and improving the properties of biodegradable magnesium alloy implants. Keywords: NZ30K, gold, biodegradable implants, microstructure, X-ray spectral microanalysis, mechanical properties, biocorrosion.
