In this study, poly (ether sulfone) (PES)/polystyrene (PS) thermoplastic polymer blend miscibility was looked at using both molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and experiments. In particular, the parameters of the Flory-Huggins interaction and the heat of mixing of poly (ether sulfone) (PES)/polystyrene (PS) blends at different compositions were calculated from MD simulation. For the PES/PS blend, both differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and MD simulation showed that they are immiscible at PES/PS: 80/20,60/40 ratios. The degree of compatibility of the 20/80 and 40/60 PES/PS blends is higher than that of a PES-rich blend. This thermodynamic behavior was found to be due mainly to intermolecular interactions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results confirmed this observation. Results show that the calculated and#120594; value is positive at the compositions of PES/PS: 80/20 and 60/40, which confirmed that the polymer mixtures were immiscible at these compositions. The miscibility between PES and PS at these ratios is attributed to favorable van der Waals interactions. Also, the results of the DREIDING 2.21 force field show that electrostatic energy, bond angle bending energy, and bond stretching energy may be to blame for the immiscibility of certain composition polymer blends (PES/PS: 80/20 and 60/40).
The association of interactivity, perception of product quality and cost with purchase intention: A moderated mediation model
Authors: Summerlin R. , Powell W. , Fukuda E.
Published: June 2024

This study investigates whether perception of product quality positively mediates the relationship between interactivity and purchase intention and whether the relationship between interactivity and perception of product quality is moderated by cost such that higher-priced items strengthen the relationship. Differences between those consumers purchasing personally or as a business were considered. Three hundred and forty-nine participants experienced a simulated environment within a real-world retail website they had previously shopped at. Results from a questionnaire were analysed using moderated mediation regression analysis. The hypothesized theoretical model was supported for individual consumers with results indicating that the effect of interactivity on purchase intention is mediated by product quality, and this indirect effect is moderated by cost. No such result was found for business consumers. This research demonstrates a notable difference between purchasing behaviours of business and individual consumers when considering interactivity and perception of product quality.

Published: June 2024

A colostomy is a procedure in which a portion of a person's colon (i.e., the lower part of the bowels) is removed, and an opening is created in the abdomen so that the person can expel waste from the body. As a result, the opening is created, person's quality of life is negatively impacted, as they may find it difficult to function in social and professional settings, struggle with issues of sexuality and body image, and struggle with stoma function. The current study intends to evaluate patients who visit a certain hospital's outpatient department quality's of life with colostomies. Using a purposive sampling technique, a sample of 27 patients who walked into the outpatient section were chosen. A common tool called the City of Hope - Quality of Life Questionnaire was used to collect the data. 89% (24 participants) of the subjects reported having a good quality of life with a colostomy and scored higher than 114. The mean quality of life score that the subjects achieved after getting a colostomy was 182.04 and the standard deviation was determined to be 51.2. The study's findings showed that there was no significant relationship between demographic traits and the categories of quality of life, and this study highlights the necessity to carry out a comparable study with a large sample that can be duplicated in different contexts. The COH - QOL subdomains can be used to assess the quality of life in depth.

Authors: Zhao Tianyu
Published: June 2024

The structure of grid-connected wind power system is complex and constantly changing operating conditions.It is challenging to establish a physical model of grid-connected wind power and analyze its modal parameters to ensure the stable operation of the system. A hybrid algorithm for modal parameter identification based on blind source separation is proposed in this work. In this paper, based on the detailed model of the wind-fire bundling of the double-fed fan, combined with the impedance analysis method, the principle of the system's sub-synchronous oscillation is analyzed, the detailed structural model and mathematical formula are established, and the strongly correlated variables are selected as the basis for the following research. Then, the algorithm of removing noise and harmonic interference is combined with the identification algorithm to analyze the sub-synchronous oscillation modes and related parameters in the grid-connected wind power system. Finally, this paper constructs the ideal model and the IEEE first model containing doubly-fed fan system simulation t, and the accuracy and effectiveness of the BSS-DMD method are proved. The frequency error can reach less than 1%, and the damping ratio error does not exceed 3%. This identification method with high accuracy can provide a new solution and basis for the power system stability problem caused by the sub-synchronous oscillation phenomenon of wind power connected to the grid.

Foot and ankle surgery: Tourniquet placement site to cause as little postoperative pain as possible
Authors: Rodriguez-Merchan E Carlos
Published: June 2024

There is controversy in the literature on where to place the tourniquet (thigh, calf, ankle) for foot and ankle surgery. While some authors prefer the ankle tourniquet to the calf tourniquet, others state that the surgeon can decide between using the thigh tourniquet or the ankle tourniquet, since there was no difference in postoperative pain between them. Where to place the tourniquet during foot and ankle surgery to cause the least possible postoperative pain to the patient as a result of the tourniquet is a common question in clinical practice. The reality is that, unfortunately, there is no consensus on this issue. Perhaps the only possible way to answer this question would be to conduct a comparative study with sufficient statistical power to reach scientifically sound conclusions. It does not seem easy to carry out such a study, but it would be important to be able to answer the question posed in the title of this Editorial once and for all.

Paper-based examinations are gradually being replaced as a reasonable number of Eswatini Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have adopted online examinations. As a new phenomenon, the perspectives of both academic staff and learners had to be assessed. Hence, this study sought to assess the use of online examinations in the Kingdom of Eswatini HEIs. The research was qualitative in nature utilizing the Participatory Action Learning and Action Research (PALAR) design to unravel the impact of the pedagogical innovation as well as factors such as security and practicality to effect best action in the advancement of HEI in the country. Similarly, the Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) gave insight to the study. For comprehensive data collection, 15 learners and 10 academic staff from from HEIs who use e-exams were purposively selected and interviewed. Generated data were analysed thematically; data were transcribed, coded, and categorised to come up with major patterns and perceptions as themes. Major findings revealed that online exams were easy to administer and mark, secured, flexible, promotes lifelong learning, and reduce risk associated with student travel. However, online examinations promoted malpractice among students. Other challenges on the administration of online examinations include: students and lecturers lack technological skills and poor internet connectivity. The results suggest training of lecturers and students on the use of online examinations, and investing in powerful technologies to support online examinations. With the emerging adoption of digital technology in the HEIs, it is necessary for policymakers to address academic misconduct by drafting relevant policies and procedures.

To know the profile of food and enteral formulation handlers is important to promote more effective health education actions for these individuals. This study aimed to develop instruments to evaluate the profile of food handlers in households (PFH) and in food service establishments (PFSE), as well as the profile of handlers of enteral formulations in households (PEFHH). A scoping review was carried out to identify questions about the profile of food and enteral formulation handlers evaluated in studies in thein the main national and international databases. From 47 selected articles, 66 questions were identified. Of these, 17, 22, and 18 questions were established to assess the PFH, PFSE, and PEFHH, respectively. The instrument questions were subdivided by subject into personal data, sociodemographic and professional characteristics, and general information. Some questions differ between instruments due to segment specificities. The proposed instruments are novel tools. Through a scoping review and expert consultations, a comprehensive set of questions was identified and organized into instruments tailored to each specific segment. These tools will be valuable for nutritionists, researchers, and other professionals involved in assessing and addressing the needs of food handlers.
