Authors:   Volgograd branch of A. N. Kostyakov All-Russian Research Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Land Reclamation, Lytov M. N.
Published: November 2022

Purpose: formation of a goal function system for climatic risks compensation of crop cultivation at the integrated use of hydrotechnical reclamation. Materials and methods. The research methodology is based on the assumption that it is possible to compensate for the detrimental effect of the climatic factor on agricultural crops, at least in the range where this effect is irreversible and is not compensated by the inner plant defenses. Results. The wording translating the concept of “climatic risks” in relation to the tasks being solved in the study has been clarified by research. The concept extends to agricultural crops, characterizes climatic deviations that are realized with a certain probability and frequency, only those climatic risks the destructive effect of which can be compensated by using various hydro-reclamation technologies are considered. At this stage, atmospheric frosts, soil temperature drops outside the plant adaptation area, soil temperature rises outside the plant adaptation area, and air drought are considered as risk-bearing climatic factors. For these factors, goal functions to compensate for the climatic risks of crop cultivation have been developed. Objective functions determine the minimum, sufficient and excessive level of the regulator's action to compensate for the detrimental effect of the climatic factor, realized at the level of climate risk. Known or derived hydro-reclamation technologies adapted to the conditions of the problem being solved are used as a regulator. Conclusions. Objective functions to determine the optimal level of regulator action to compensate for the climatic risks of agricultural crops cultivation through the integrated use of hydrotechnical reclamation have been developed.

Scholars have radically turned away from the notion of ‘natural borders’ dictated by nature and now broadly agree that all borders are ‘artificial’ human constructs. However, there is a need to revisit environmental determinism in its nuances. We analyse the relation between distinct natural features and historical border development, using the notion of affordances and the example of raised bogs in the medieval and modern-period eastern Low Countries. For humans, bog landscapes in these periods functioned as both barriers and passageways through the spatiotemporal variability of these opposite affordances. At the scale of local settlement territories, large bog landscapes had the coercive agency to function as borderlands separating adjacent communities. Such coercion was absent on the larger spatial scale of princedoms. The growing economic importance of peat was a crucial driver for border demarcation at both scales from the late Middle Ages. Diplomatic risk calculation and path dependency explain the spatial concurrence and long persistence respectively of bog boundaries between successive polities.

Authors: Ali Shayma S.
Published: November 2022

Background: Universal precautions, as defined by centers for disease control (CDC), are a set of precautions designed to prevent transmission of human immunodeficiency virus , hepatitis B virus , and other blood borne pathogens when providing first aid or health care .Objectives: To measure knowledge of and practice towards universal precautions among healthcare workers (apart from doctors) in Baghdad Teaching Hospital .Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted during the period of two months from 26th of February to the end of April 2007 in Baghdad Teaching Hospital / Medical City ,Baghdad to assess the knowledge and practice of 110 health care workers towards the use of universal precautions in their daily work and to assess the effect of different factors on both knowledge and practice ( including :age , years of experience gender ,level of education ,occupation and hearing about universal precautions ) .Results: The study showed that (52.7%) had heard about universal precautions with an overall low understanding of precautions except concerning disposal of sharp instruments, use of protective equipment and clean of spilled blood .Health workers showed difficulty to distinguish deep body fluids to which universal precautions should be applied from body secretions to which they are not applied (saliva and sweat) . Good practices were reported regarding hand washing, disposal of needles and sharps,and gloves, masks and gown usage. This study showed that hearing about universal precautions had no positive effect on knowledge as those who had heard about universal precautions had mean knowledge score of (5.9) from total score of (10) which is lower than those who never heard with mean knowledge score of (6.1) ,in contrast to practice score which was higher in those who heard about universal precautions (8.4) than those who never heard (8), from total score of (10).Conclusion: universal precautions were not only insufficiently but also selectively understood and applied so great work should be done in form of pre- and in-service education and training programs to the staff with good supply of protective equipment to implement universal precautions on scientific and practical basis in near future.

Published: November 2022

In COVID-19 of moderate to severe degree, there are significant inflammatory changes in the lungs and other organs involved in the pathological process with corresponding symptoms and functional disorders lasting longer than 12 weeks. They are designated as postcovid syndrome (PCS) and require further treatment. The article presents the pathogenetic mechanism of PCS, in which organ damage has the systemic nature. Special attention is paid to the changes in the organs of the respiratory system (atelectasis in the alveoli within the lungs, remodeling of the bronchial epithelium, hyaluronan deposition in the lumen of alveoli, bronchi and perialveolar interstitial with the formation of connective tissue), which in the long term lead to fibrous changes, especially in patients with severe COVID-19 and concomitant respiratory diseases. This, in turn, makes oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through the alveoli wall with difficulties, decreases exercise tolerance and life quality, and increases mortality in elderly patients. The article also outlines the main directions of pathogenetically conditioned therapy of patients with respiratory disorder in the outpatient settings, providing a decrease in rehabilitation period and improving the patients condition.

Since January 1, 2022, the provision of medical care in most common infectious and inflammatory human diseases as acute respiratory infections (ARI) has already been carried out according to the relevant clinical recommendations (CRs) approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. Due to the fact that ARI in the vast majority of cases are caused by viruses, much attention is paid to rational antibiotic therapy and the use of phytopreparations as a reasonable alternative to down the growth rate of antibiotic resistance. The article highlights the therapeutic possibilities of modern phytotherapy in the treatment of children with the most common manifestations of ARI (rhinosinusitis, tonsillopharyngitis, bronchitis) based on the CRs. A brief description of etiological factors, clinical symptoms, and diagnostic characteristics is given. The article also presents the results of in vitro and in vivo work, pathogenetically substantiating the expediency of using phytopreparations in ARI, as well as clinical research data confirming their efficacy and safety, including in children. It is particularly noted that following the CRs concerning patient management with ARI will reduce the frequency of unjustified prescribing of antibacterial drugs and polypragmasia in general, as well as improve the medical care quality.

The authors analyzed 31 scientific publications, which highlighted modern methods to the diagnosis of bacteriologically unconfirmed pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). In the article, such clinical cases are classified into two groups due to the absence of the tuberculosis causative agent. This approach can serve as a justification for choosing optimal and appropriate additional methods and techniques for diagnosing bacteriologically unconfirmed PTB. Given the fact that bacterial excretion is determined by traditional microbiological methods (microscopic and cultural) in sputum, the literature review presents data on additional measures for obtaining biological material for the etiological diagnosis of tuberculosis, using molecular genetic methods for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA. Besides, the article shows the diagnostic significance of immunological and serological tests for the tuberculosis diagnosis, as well as modern methods to the X-ray results interpretation, using mathematical methods that evaluate the dynamic X-ray imaging. A special place in the bacteriologically unconfirmed PTB diagnosis is occupied by the description of biopsy material using artificial intelligence. That is, the integration of medicine and information technology achievements allows us having a source of additional information that should help the doctor diagnose tuberculosis in difficult clinical cases.

Severe bronchial asthma (SBA) is associated with a significantly lower quality of life and increased mortality. The prevalence of SBA is 3–10% of all patients with asthma. The diagnosis of SBA means that patients require high doses of inhaled corticosteroids/long-acting beta agonists (ICS/LABA) or a fixed dose combination of ICS/LABA and long-acting anticholinergics (ICS/LABA/LAAC). If the above therapy is not effective, systemic glucocorticoids (GCs) are commonly prescribed to treat patients with SBA. However, their use increases the risk of such adverse events as fractures, disorders of carbohydrate metabolism, gastrointestinal bleeding, infections, and visual disturbances. In most cases the SBA development is linked to T2-high inflammation which is manifested by elevated eosinophil level in the peripheral blood. In turn, eosinophilia is associated with an increased rate of asthma exacerbations and resistance to the standard anti-inflammatory therapy. Suppression of eosinophil activity is a promising approach to pathogenetic therapy of SBA. The up-to-date biological therapy with monoclonal antibodies helps to improve asthma control, reduce the number of exacerbations and to reduce systemic GCs or even to avoid them. Currently, targeted therapy for SBA includes medicines to circulating IL-5 (mepolizumab, reslizumab), its receptor alpha-subunit, IL-5RA (benralizumab), or IL-4 receptor alpha-subunit (dupilumab). Benralizumab induces potent eosinophil apoptosis, resulting in rapid and nearly complete depletion of eosinophils in the blood and target tissues.

Published: November 2022

The procedure for finding technological parameters for the installation of pile foundations with small-sized drilling rigs, when developing design and technological documentation in compressed construction conditions, is considered. Methodological approaches to the choice of technologies for the construction of pile foundations are shown, depending on the dimensions of the small-sized drilling machines used, the required area for their placement, storage areas, and auxiliary equipment. in compressed conditions of construction. The existing normative documents do not set out separate requirements for the development of projects for the execution of works in compressed construction conditions, these norms do not provide for the definition of rational erection schemes for the selected set of mechanization in the dimensions of a specific construction site, which is characterized by various restrictions and obstacles. The proposed requirements for the use of mechanization methods in the conditions of compacted buildings during the installation of pile foundations based on a preliminary analysis of the parameters of the construction site: engineering and geological condition of the site; internal brevity of the designed structure; external brevity of the construction site; dimensions of the driving car; sites for the location of additional equipment, warehouses, unloading areas. Taking into account practical experience in the development of work projects and the analysis of current regulatory documents, made it possible to establish the main requirements for the use of small-sized drilling rigs in densely built-up conditions.

Objective: To perform a literature review of the presence of pesticides in edible insects, main pesticides used in Mexico and to discuss the potential risk of contaminated edible insects for human consumption.

Design/methodology/approach: Concise analysis of the main research topics related with the impact of pesticides on insects, through a wide review of specialized journals on insects’ field.

Results: The majority of edible insects are considered as a common plague in some crop varieties, causing a decrease in their production yield. As a result, farmers use mainly chemical insecticides to control this plague. Besides, farmers use also chemical herbicides and fungicides to control weeds and fungi. However, those pesticides have a negative impact on edible insects because they can be contaminated. These contaminated edible insects can be collected from different crop varieties for their use as food.  

Limitations on study/implications: To conduct further research to identify and determine the pesticide levels in edible insects consumed in Mexico.

Findings/conclusions: Edible insects may represent a potential risk to human health, especially when insects are wild harvested because can be contaminated with pesticides, particularly insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides.
Populism and Identity Politics in the U.S. Heartland
Authors: Oberhauser Ann , Krier Daniel
Published: November 2022

The rise of populism on the political right in the U.S. and Europe in recent decades reflects a significant shift in political culture. This populism has been associated with the rejection of mainstream politics and increased hostility toward immigrants, racialized minorities, and other marginalized groups who are seen as threats to economic security and hegemonic social identities. In the U.S. Heartland, several key states flipped from Democrat to Republican in 2016, sealing Trump’s win and leading to widespread debates about populist political attitudes in this region. This analysis draws from focus group discussions with community leaders in rural and micropolitan Iowa to understand how local discourses about economic and social change intersects with rising populist politics. Three characteristics of community life emerged as areas of concern among these groups; economic destabilization associated with neoliberalism, changes in social composition, and a profound sense of rurality. Our findings reveal how populism and identity movements on the political right are integrated with Heartland political culture, contributing to the recent electoral success of right-wing populist candidates. The discussion concludes with recommendations to promote a progressive and inclusive agenda for the Heartland and the U.S. as a whole.

Authors: Moral Roger del
Published: November 2022

Vegetation development on Surtsey and Mount St. Helens has been influenced by remarkably similar processes. Both are isolated, so colonizers are filtered. in each case, species accumulation and vegetation development were initiated by a few species, with a lag phase before biomass accumulated rapidly. on both, establishment was first concentrated in favorable microsites and facilitated by nutrient inputs. Established plants often fostered other species in both cases. That such contrasting systems exhibit similar mechanisms of community assembly offers important restoration lessons.

The value of the company includes all forms of value that determine its health and well-being in the long run. With the development of innovations, intangible assets and firm's business model became an important component of the company's value. This study aims to determine the effect of intellectual capital on the value of banking companies in Indonesia. The analysis also covers other factors affecting the company's value, namely the company's size and good corporate governance. The object of the study is 43 banking companies in Indonesia whose shares are listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange. The data for the analysis are taken from the financial reporting forms of companies for 2015-2020, which are published on the website of the Indonesian Stock Exchange (www.idx.co.id) and the companies’ websites. The methodological basis of the analysis is panel data regression performed in the EViews program. Company value in this study is measured using the Tobin Q. Intellectual capital is measured based on the added value created by physical capital, human capital and structural capital. Company size is measured using the natural logarithm of total assets. Good corporate governance is measured through managerial ownership, institutional ownership, audit committee and board of commissioners. The study results show that intellectual capital significantly impacts the value of banking companies in Indonesia. In addition, the company's value is also affected by its size and implementation of good corporate governance. The results of the qualitative analysis indicate that intellectual capital affects the business organization in various ways, such as increasing competitive advantage, promoting innovation, increasing employee competence and operational efficiency.

Based on information from financial reports, it is possible to assess how effectively officials spend financial resources to achieve the strategic goals of village development. This study aims to analyze the effect of village financial system application on the village's financial report accountability with human resources competence as a moderating variable. The sample of this study is 115 respondents from 21 villages, namely representatives of village authorities in Bayung Lenchir District, Musi Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra Province. This study used primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained directly from the sampled respondents. Data was collected by filling out a questionnaire containing a list of structured questions addressed to respondents. The secondary data was obtained from books and scientific journals on the topic of the study. The analytical methods used include validity test, reliability test, classical assumption test including normality test and heteroscedasticity test, hypothesis test using simple regression method and coefficient of determination. According to the results of the study, it was found that the village financial system application and the competence of human resources have a significant positive effect on the accountability of the village financial report. At the same time, the competence of human resources as a moderating variable increases the influence of the village financial system application on the accountability of the village financial report. Thus, improving the competence of human resources involved in management is a significant factor in optimizing the use of the rural financial system to increase the accountability of rural financial reports.

Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Kyiv, Ukraine, Kriher Yuliіa
Published: November 2022

The Russian military aggression is a new test for Ukrainian businesses because it is challenging for the management to plan the future activities of enterprises in wartime. The manager must consider many factors that did not impact the enterprise's operation in the past (distance of the location from the border, whether there are military facilities nearby, distance to the war zone, rapid change of logistics routes, search for new suppliers and buyers). In these circumstances, the efficiency audit has become very relevant for Ukrainian businesses. The article aims to determine the impact of efficiency audit on the further functioning of enterprise and assess its relevance for Ukrainian enterprises in wartime. The author analyzes the potential changes resulting from implementing efficiency audit results. A review of the market offers on the efficiency audit was carried out. It was found that Ukrainian audit companies do not provide such services. Instead, the Big Four audit companies pay considerable attention to efficiency audit. International audit companies analyze and evaluate the economical use of all available resources of the enterprise, as well as the efficiency and effectiveness of its activities. The auditor analyses the enterprise's internal environment (for example, the distribution of resources between departments) and the external environment (for example, the analysis of the market and its competitive players). Therefore, the customer of the audit services will receive information that will contribute to specific changes in the company's activities and potential development. Historical factors of the need for auditors have been studied, and new factors generated by the war have been identified. It was found that the results of the efficiency audit can have an impact both on a separate structural unit and on the entire enterprise. The efficiency audit prompts more global changes that can affect the environment and provide partial protection on the economic front.

Crisis phenomena and speculations in housing construction led to strict state regulations to attract financing and investments in this area. In addition, an additional participant (intermediary) was entered into the system of economic relations, whose mission is to supervise and control the timely execution of construction and installation works and the effective use of financial resources received from investors. One of the possible forms of functioning of such intermediaries is joint investment institutes. Orienting these institutions to satisfy the interests of various groups of participants – investors and developers – requires establishing an appropriate management information support system, which is mainly based on accounting data. At the same time, the issue of taxation of operations for financing housing construction through joint investment institutions is no less relevant. The article is devoted to disclosing the peculiarities of accounting and taxation of housing construction financing processes through the creation of joint investment institutions. The methodological basis of this research is the methods of imperative analysis, deduction, graphic and comparison. The legislative and normative regulation of the functioning of joint investment institutes, particularly for the needs of the organization of housing construction financing, has been studied. Proposals regarding the accounting of the activity of corporate and mutual investment funds, as well as operations involving their attraction of investments to finance housing construction are substantiated. The peculiarities of taxation of these transactions with income tax and value-added tax under the imperatives of Ukrainian tax legislation are characterized. The practicality of using joint investment institutes as a mechanism for financing housing construction in Ukraine was argued to minimize investment risks, control spending and tax burden planning.
Improvement of State Financial Control: Praxeological Approach
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine, Bardash Serhii
Published: November 2022

The full-fledged functioning of the economy of Ukraine in wartime is one of the most challenging tasks of the state government, which cannot be fulfilled without external financial assistance. During the six months of the war, Ukraine attracted more than UAH 800 billion to finance the state budget, more than half of which was loans and grants from foreign partners. Taking into account the need for further financial assistance and the society's request for effective use of the received funds, the issue of improving the effectiveness of state financial control in Ukraine is urgent. The purpose of the article is to determine the list and content of the principles of state financial control as a praxeological component of ensuring the effectiveness of the functioning of state financial control bodies. In practice, state financial control does not perform a preventive function because the number of detected financial violations tends to increase. This indicates the absence of requirements for strict compliance with financial discipline and sometimes irresponsibility for the facts of its violation. The insufficient development of the praxeological component of state financial control (in particular, the lack of an agreed position among scientists regarding the composition and content of its principles, the absence or declarative regulation of their content in normative legal acts that determine the principles of state financial control, as well as regulate the functionality of its main subjects) negatively affects the effectiveness of state financial control. To create prerequisites for increasing the effectiveness of state financial control, principles of a system-forming nature, as well as principles of organization and implementation of control measures, are proposed. The temporary centralization is proposed as an additional measure to improve state financial control. It will consist of creating a state control body that will perform a coordinating function in matters of planning control measures.

In any commercial activity, there is always a risk of loss. And logistics, of course, is no exception, regardless of whether it is one of the stages of the company's commercial activity or a separate business. Management of potential risks is as important for a logistics enterprise as the ability to ensure the process of transporting goods. At the same time, risk minimization allows you to significantly reduce transportation costs, avoiding unforeseen downtime and fines for non-fulfilment of delivery conditions. Among management procedures, the audit is one of the effective risk prevention methods. The article aims to reveal the features of the accounting and analytical support of the audit as an effective method of risk management. Ukraine's logistics market was analyzed, and it determined that out of 160 countries of the world, Ukraine ranks 66th according to the logistics efficiency index. The main risks in the field of activity of logistics enterprises are highlighted. Emphasis is placed on the practicality of using internal and external audits as an effective method of identifying risks. It was revealed that the basis of the audit is the presence of an appropriate accounting and analytical support system, which provides the auditor with the necessary information about the business entity. Accounting and analytical support consists of accounting, analytical and legislative and regulatory components. The risk audit of logistics enterprises can be external or internal. Accounting and analytical support is formed at all stages of the audit. Thus, the audit is an effective tool that will allow a company to identify risk, assess its degree and possible losses, choose risk management methods and measures, make the right management decisions, and control its elimination.

Published: November 2022

Bangladesh's clothing industry is the backbone of the country's economy. One of the most crucial first phases in the apparel industry is to create and develop garment patterns based on the anticipated apparel's specifications, and then to plan the marker and cut the fabric according to the pattern pieces. These can be done manually or with the use of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software (CAM). The garment business has been transformed by computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Because fabric costs account for a large portion of the cost of garment manufacture, it is critical to properly utilize the fabric and reduce the percentage of fabric waste (percent). Additionally, minimizing production time will reduce lead time even more. Although CAD/CAM is expensive, it has a number of economic and technological advantages over other methods.

Allogeneic Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia in the Era of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors
Authors: Emre Eskazan Ahmet Emre , Tiribelli Mario
Published: November 2022

The introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) has dramatically improved the prognosis of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients and, therefore, changed the therapeutic scenario of this disease. Before the advent of the first TKI imatinib, allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) was the only curative approach for CML, and all patients deemed eligible for transplant were referred to a centre for transplant where possible. Nowadays, with the wide availability of five different TKI, indications to alloSCT have been reduced to only include patients in the advanced phase of CML and those with multiple TKI treatment failures. Nonetheless, even in the TKI era, alloSCT retains its curative potential. Herein, the authors give an overview of the indications to allogeneic transplant for CML and the management of TKI in the pre and post-transplant settings.
A Review of the Different Haematological Parameters and Biomarkers Used for Diagnosis of Neonatal Sepsis
Authors: Gandhi Prachi , Kondekar Santosh
Published: November 2022

Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in newborns. It presents a diagnostic challenge to the neonatologists due to a lack of objective evaluation. It may mimic noninfective conditions, such as inborn error of metabolism, birth asphyxia, and even respiratory distress syndrome in preterms. Nonetheless, over-diagnosis and initiating unwanted empirical antibiotics may pose the threat of drug resistance, increasing the hospital stay and cost of treatment. Traditionally, investigations such as white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, immature to total neutrophil ratio, C-reactive protein levels, and blood cultures have been used to diagnose sepsis. However, these have low sensitivity and specificity because they may be elevated in conditions other than sepsis. The in-depth understanding of the neonatal immune system’s response to early infection has led to the discovery of advanced diagnostic tools, including biomarkers.

This literature review briefs on the various haematological parameters and biomarkers in neonatal sepsis, exploring newer biomarkers and comparing them with their older counterparts. This will help early diagnosis, treatment, and improved prognosis in neonatal sepsis. As there is a spectrum of markers for diagnosing neonatal sepsis, it is preferable to compile these markers and correlate clinically.

Helicoverpa armigera Distribution in Gossypium Varieties Crop
Authors: Kushakov Sh. , Zuparova D. , Ablazova M. , Buriev Z.
Published: November 2022

A review of the biological development of the Helicoverpa armigera and its harmfulness on Gossypium varieties is given. Research results also showed that first-generation caterpillars mainly damage flower buds and young buds in the upper part of plants. The second generation causes damage by feeding on buds and flowers, and later (in subsequent generations) on not fully mature cotton bolls. In flowers, caterpillars eat out stamens and ovary, sometimes petals. Helicoverpa armigera are relatively rarely damaged, but the last (autumn) generation on Gossypium develops in small numbers and damages bolls. Such massive damage to various parts of Gossypium by these pests causes significant damage to cotton growing. The identified resistant lines, hybrids, and varieties can be used as primary genetic material for the creation of new Gossypium varieties.
Bollen i rörelse: Tjejfotboll, fostran och normkritik i den urbana periferin
Authors: Ekholm David , Wernesjö Ulrika , Dahlstedt Magnus
Published: November 2022

Den här boken handlar om villkor för tjejers delaktighet och inkludering, i samhället och i idrotten. I boken följer vi en verksamhet som vi kallar Bollen, som är särskilt riktad till unga tjejer i den urbana periferin. Bollens övergripande ambition är att – genom fotboll utomhus och inomhus, så kallad futsal – skapa möjlighet för unga tjejer att delta i idrottsaktiviteter med ambitionen att tjejers deltagande i idrott i sin tur ska bidra till inkludering och jämställdhet. I boken undersöker vi hur verksamheten tar form i ett sammanhang präglat av tilltagande social och ekonomisk ojämlikhet, där det bedrivs ett arbete för att på olika vis motverka dessa ojämlikheter, i en bredare strävan efter social förändring. Boken är ett viktigt bidrag i den pågående diskussionen om hur idrotten kan vara ett svar på samhällets utmaningar, såsom tilltagande sociala klyftor och ekonomisk ojämlikhet. Och på vilket sätt idrotten kan möjliggöra deltagande och inkludering.

Background: A novel braided nasal stent is an effective alternative to nasal packing after septoplasty that can be used to manage the mucosal flap after septoplasty and expand the nasal cavity. This study aimed to investigate the influence of design parameters on the mechanical properties of the nasal stent for optimal performance.

Methods: A braided nasal stent modeling method was proposed and 27 stent models with a range of different geometric parameters were built. The compression behavior and bending behavior of these stent models were numerically analyzed using a finite element method (FEM). The orthogonal test was used as an optimization method, and the optimized design variables of the stent with improved performance were obtained based on range analysis and weight grade method.

Results: The reaction force and bending stiffness of the braided stent increased with the wire diameter, braiding density, and external stent diameter, while wire diameter resulted as the most important determining parameter. The external stent diameter had the greatest influence on the elongation deformation. The influence of design parameters on von-Mises stress distribution of bent stent models was visualized. The stent model with geometrical parameters of 25 mm external diameter, 30° braiding angle, and 0.13 mm wire diameter (A3B3C3) had a greater reaction force but a considerably smaller bending stiffness, which was the optimal combination of parameters.

Conclusion: Firstly, among the three design parameters of braided stent models, wire diameter resulted as the most important parameter determining the reaction force and bending stiffness. Secondly, the external stent diameter significantly influenced the elongation deformation during the compression simulation. Finally, 25 mm external diameter, 30° braiding angle, and 0.13 mm wire diameter (A3B3C3) was the optimal combination of stent parameters according to the orthogonal test results.
