The objective of this systematic review was to identify the available scientific evidence on bone substitutes (BSs) compared with autogenous bone grafts (ABGs) for regeneration of horizontal bone resorption in the anterior maxillary alveolar process, aiming at rehabilitation with endosseous implants. This review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines (2020) and registered in the database PROSPERO (CRD: 42017070574). The databases searched were PUBMED/MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, SCIENCE DIRECT, WEB OF SCIENCE, and CENTRAL COCHRANE, in the English language. The Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool were used to assess the study's quality and risk of bias. A total of 524 papers were found. After the selection process, 6 studies were selected for review. A total of 182 patients were followed for a period of 6 to 48 months. The mean age of patients was 46.46 years, and 152 implants were installed in the anterior region. Two studies achieved a reduced graft and implant failure rate, whereas the remaining 4 studies had no losses. It may be concluded that the use of ABGs and some BSs is a viable alternative for the rehabilitation with implants in individuals with anterior horizontal bone loss. However, additional randomized controlled trials are warranted due to the limited number of papers.
Hindu Kutsal Metinlerinde Geçen Şiva Efsanelerine Dair Bir İnceleme
Authors: YILDIZ Arzu
Published: December 2022

Hindu dinî geleneğinde efsane ve mitolojik hikayeler büyük öneme sahiptir. Hindu kutsal metinleri sayısız mitik anlatı ile doludur. Birçok tabiatüstü figür ve unsur ile bezeli bu anlatıların maksadı ise genel anlamda insanları uyarmak, doğru davranışları öğreterek doğru yola yönlendirmek, yanlış davranışlardan alıkoymak, tanrıların yüceliğini övmek, evrenin, varlıkların yaratılışını açıklamak vb. hususlardır. Efsanelerin başkahramanları çoğunlukla tanrılardır. Hinduizm’in yok edici tanrısı olarak nitelendirilen, büyük tanrılarından biri olan Şiva’nın merkezde olduğu birçok efsane bulunmaktadır. Şiva’nın yüceliği, mutlak hakikat oluşu ve müşfikliğinin yanı sıra gazabı, yok ediciliği ve dünyaya karşı kayıtsızlığı da bu anlatıların konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Şiva’nın çok yönlülüğünü yansıtan bu efsaneler Hinduizm’in en büyük ikinci mezhebi Şivacılık’ın felsefi ve teolojik temellerinin oluşturulmasında büyük bir yer ve öneme sahiptir. Şiva’nın Hindu tanrıları içinde sahip olduğu yer ve önemin vurgulanması, onun gerçekleştirdiği olağanüstü fiillerin farklı şekillerde yorumlanması ve değerlendirilmesinin yanı sıra aktarılma maksatları çeşitlilik gösteren bu efsaneler, Hindu inancı ve kültürü açısından önem taşıyan birçok ögenin anlaşılması açısından da faydalı birer belge niteliğindedir. Bu çalışmada Hindu dinî geleneğinin ayrılmaz bir parçası olan efsanelerden özellikle Şiva ile ilgili olan belli başlıları ele alınarak deskriptif bir yaklaşımla objektif olarak aktarılacak, Şivacılık mezhebi özelinde bu efsanelerin aktarılma maksatları ve yorumlanış biçimleri ortaya konularak analiz edilecektir. Efsanelerin kılavuzluğunda Hindu tanrısı Şiva’nın anlaşılması ile Şivacılık’ın ve daha genel anlamda Hinduizm’in tanrı anlayışına ve tanrı kavramına yükledikleri anlamlara dair daha sağlam analizler yapılabilmesi amaçlanmaktadır.
MEASUREMENT OF GEOMETRICAL PARAMETERS OF THE CRUDE-OIL/WATER INTERFACE PROPAGATING IN MICROFLUIDIC CHANNELS USING DEEP LEARNING TOOLS
Authors: Grazioso Fabio , Fliagin Viktor M. , Ivanova Natalia A.
Published: December 2022

This paper reports the results of the application of some software tools based on deep learning models, on the processing of microscopic images of the interface between crude oil and water, while propagating in microfluidic channels. The U-Net deep learning model is used to classify the pixels of the crude oil and separate them from the rest of the pixels (semantic segmentation). This has allowed for the automatic measurement of some geometric parameters of the meniscus, making possible the processing of large amounts of images. Live videos of the meniscus have been recorded while the water propagates in the microfluidic guides previously filled with crude oil, and then the frames (images) from the video have been extracted and processed. In this way, we were able to consider the information about time and also study the dynamic behavior of the geometric parameters. Among the geometric parameters that it is possible to measure, the angle between the meniscus and the walls of the propagation channel were chosen. The angle measured from the propagation images was compared to the contact angle measured in a static regime, with the method of the sessile drop.

Authors: Mata Rodrigo Santos da
Published: December 2022

O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar o nível de disclosure dos procedimentos contábeis patrimoniais no setor público de municípios do Estado do Espírito Santo sob a perspectiva de analisar as variáveis controle interno, desenvolvimento municipal, população e receitas orçamentárias. Métodos de análise quantitativa são usados nesta pesquisa, como estatística descritiva e regressão linear múltipla. Constatou-se que a média do Índice de Disclosure dos Procedimentos Contábeis Patrimoniais alcançada pelos municípios analisados foi de 55,19%. Este índice sugere que os esforços desprendidos pelos municípios em prol do atendimento às exigências dos órgãos normatizadores ainda é limitado. Os resultados mostraram que: i) em relação às variáveis controle interno e população, não foram estatisticamente significativas para o modelo; ii) quanto às variáveis educação e receitas orçamentárias, apresentaram relação positiva com o índice de disclosure, sendo um indicativo de que municípios com melhores índices educacionais e com maior arrecadação têm a tendência de apresentar nível de disclosure mais elevado. Por fim, as evidências desta pesquisa contribuem na análise do índice de disclosure e seus determinantes, bem como para o entendimento do processo de harmonização da contabilidade do setor público às normas internacionais nos municípios capixabas.
TRADITIONAL VALUES AND MODERN RUSSIAN HOLIDAYS: PUBLIC PRACTICES AND NARRATIVES
Authors:   Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences Russian Academy of Science, Efremova V. N.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the political usage of modern Russian commemoration days and public holidays associated with traditional values. In particular, the article discusses the Day of Christianization of Kievan Rus, the Day of Slavic culture and writing, the Day of family, love and fidelity, Father's Day and Mother's Day. The need to expand the holiday calendar and the existence of holidays with "Russian roots", which would be dedicated to the preservation of culture and historical heritage, was announced at the beginning of the third presidential term of V.V. Putin. The article shows that the political regime pays more attention to commemorative days, which are already based on a historical narrative. Festive events and practices become the subject of construction by non-state and public actors (the Russian Orthodox Church, foundations, NGOs), and regional administrations. Memorable days and holidays are important for actors whose public actions are associated with the support of the state in difficult times.

Authors: BAŞER İsmet , TAHAN ÇAY Feyza , BALABAN GÖÇMEN Damla
Published: December 2022

In the study, 58 synthetic wheat lines and 6 bread wheat varieties were used as material. Synthetic wheat lines and bread wheat varieties were investigated for resistance to root rot under field conditions. In laboratory conditions, 1 ml (1x106 spores/ml) of root collar disease was inoculated into each tube at the junction of the stem of the plant and the soil, 1 week after seed sowing. In terms of root rot, which is one of the important problems in the Thrace region, it was determined that synthetic wheat lines showed resistance properties compared to bread wheats. While bread wheat varieties widely planted in the region do not show good tolerance in terms of resistance to root collar, synthetic bread wheat genotypes ZFSN 6, HRSN 11-14, HRSN 13-17 and HRSN 14-10, HRSN 6-8, HRSN 6-2, ZFSN 8 and ZFSN 3 genotypes showed superior properties in terms of resistance to root rot.

Published: December 2022

Modularisierung der Produktionsanlagen ist eine vielversprechende Möglichkeit die kommenden  Anforderungen der Flexibilität, Veränderbarkeit und  Interoperabilität sowohl in der diskreten Fertigung als auch in der Prozessindustrie zu adressieren. Zurzeit existieren zwei Standards für die Orchestrierung der   Produktionsmodule: Module Type Package (MTP) und  PackML, welche jeweils in prozesstechnischen und diskreten Anlagen eingesetzt werden. Trotz gewisser  Ähnlichkeit existieren konzeptionelle und technische  Unterschiede zwischen der beiden Spezifikation, die eine  Interoperabilität erschweren. Die negativen Folgen sind insbesondere in hybriden Anlagen mit gemischtem  Equipment bemerkbar (z. B. in Pharmaindustrie oder  Batteriefertigung). In diesem Artikel stellen wir eine Lösung für dieses Problem vor, indem wir die PackML automatisch auf MTP mappen. Unser Ansatz wurde durch eine Erweiterung eines MTP-kompatiblen Process Orchestration Layers (POL) umgesetzt und an zwei unabhängigen Softwareimplementierungen von PackML OPC UA Spezifikation validiert.
QUARTA REVOLUÇÃO INDUSTRIAL E O FENÔMENO DA TRANSNACIONALIDADE: UMA ANÁLISE ACERCA DA EXPANSÃO DA INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL NO MUNDO GLOBALIZADO
Authors: Pereira Jenifer Carina , Da Silva José Everton
Published: December 2022

A revolução digital não se trata de uma opção. Ela se trata, em síntese, de um caminho sem volta que, além de modificar as relações interpessoais, também alterou a forma de governar, isso porque, os países passaram a identificar obstáculos quanto à governabilidade em um mundo que, além de globalizado, também vive os resultados da Quarta Revolução Industrial que modificou o próprio significado de governança e de limites, inclusive constitucionais. Nesse cenário, a presente pesquisa possui o objetivo de verificar qual o papel da Inteligência Artificial em um mundo globalizado, utilizando-se como ótica a Quarta Revolução Industrial e o fenômeno da Transnacionalidade, sendo esse, o objetivo geral. Como objetivos específicos, foram elencados os seguintes: conceituar a Quarta Revolução Industrial, contextualizando o leitor sobre o momento em que ela surge, assim como conceituar Inteligência Artificial e apontar algumas manifestações na era informacional; conceituar globalização e discorrer sobre o fenômeno da Transnacionalidade, demonstrando a relação entre os conceitos e, finalmente, verificar qual a atuação da Inteligência Artificial diante do fenômeno da Transnacionalidade. Quanto à metodologia, utilizou-se o método indutivo, com recursos fundamentalmente bibliográficos, por meio da leitura de doutrinas e ensaios referentes à sociologia, direito digital, e materiais envolvendo as temáticas discutidas. Finalmente, mesmo sem esgotar o tema, foi possível observar que a Inteligência Artificial, em que pese se tratar de expoente positivo da quarta revolução industrial, apresenta motivos suficientes para que os Estados identifiquem alternativas para limitar sua atuação, a fim de proteger dados e informações e consolidar direitos fundamentais.
“Nadie te va a criticar”: Claves para la Participación Igualitaria en Tertulias Literarias Dialógicas
Authors: Álvarez-Guerrero Garazi , Martínez de la Hidalga de la Torriente Zoe , Villardón-Gallego Lourdes
Published: December 2022

Existe un consenso a nivel internacional sobre la importancia de garantizar la participación igualitaria de todo el alumnado, incluido aquel con necesidades especiales. Décadas de investigación han evidenciado que el diálogo y las interacciones son clave para el aprendizaje y el desarrollo. Sin embargo, se sabe menos sobre cómo garantizar la participación igualitaria en un contexto con alumnado diverso. Este estudio se centra en la implementación de una práctica educativa basada en la interacción y el diálogo la cual ha demostrado favorecer el éxito educativo en diferentes contextos (Tertulias Literarias Dialógicas). En concreto, explora en profundidad el caso de una escuela en la que se han realizado 18 observaciones en Educación Secundaria, 2 entrevistas al profesorado y un grupo de discusión con el alumnado. Los resultados del estudio señalan que las Tertulias Literarias Dialógicas garantizan una participación igualitaria haciendo que el todo el alumnado, incluso aquel que no participa en otros contextos, se sienta más seguro para intervenir; escuche activamente y respete las aportaciones de sus iguales; y que aprenda de las aportaciones de sus compañeros y compañeras.
Az Európai Parlament közös munkacsoportjainak (intergroupjainak) szerepe a területi érdekérvényesítésben
Authors: Brucker Balázs
Published: December 2022

Az egyetlen közvetlenül választott EU-s intézményben, az Európai Parlamentben a területi fókuszú kérdések nem csupán a plenáris, szakbizottsági és képviselőcsoporti üléseken kerülnek napirendre, hanem a Parlament keretében működő „félhivatalos” képviselői csoportosulások, az ún. közös munkacsoportok (intergroupok) összejövetelei is lehetőséget teremtenek erre.
A tanulmányomban arra keresem a választ, hogy az EP félhivatalos képviselői csoportosulásai képesek-e arra, hogy a területi fókuszú érdekeket becsatornázzák az EP-i döntéshozatalba. Hipotézisem szerint a formalitás és informalitás határán álló csoportosulások megfelelően ki tudják aknázni a szemi-formális működési tényezőkben rejlő adottságokatés hatékonyan részt tudnak venni a területi fókuszú érdekek érvényesítésében.
A tanulmány négy részre tagolódik. Mindenekelőtt röviden áttekintem az EP-nek és a területi érdekek kapcsolatát, ezt követően pedig bemutatom a közös munkacsoportok jellemzőit, struktúráját és érdekérvényesítési lehetőségeit az EP Eljárási Szabályzatának tükrében. A tanulmány harmadik részében a területi fókuszú közös munkacsoportok működési jellemzőit elemzem. Az írásom utolsó fejezete két konkrét esettanulmány alapján mutatja be a területi kérdéssel foglalkozó közös munkacsoportok érdekartikulációs gyakorlatát és korlátait.
A dokumentumelemzés, a közös munkacsoportokban meghatározó szerepet játszó EP-képviselőkkel és munkacsoport-koordinátorokkal készített strukturált mélyinterjúk és az esettanulmány alapján megállapítható, hogy az EP-ben ezek a formalitás és informalitás határán álló képviselői csoportosulások is meghatározó szerepet játsz(hat)anak a területi érdekek uniós intézményekben történő megjelenítésében. Ugyanakkor – az EP eljárási szabályzatában megfogalmazott korlátok miatt – e képviselői csoportosulások csak indirekt módon vehetnek részt a területi érdekek parlamenti döntéshozatalba történő becsatornázásában, hiszen a parlamenti fellépések nem a közös munkacsoportok, hanem az azok munkájában részt vevő EP-képviselők nevében történnek.

Published: December 2022

The planet earth is basically a planet of water with less than 30% land mass available for humans to live on. However, the areas covered with water are important to mankind for the various resources which have been proven to be valuable. Such resources are gas, oil, marine products which can be used as food, and other minerals. In view of the vast area in which these resources can be found, a network of sensors is necessary so that they can be explored. However, sensor networks may not be helpful in the exploration of these resources if they do not have a sufficiently good routing mechanism. Over the past few decades, several methods for routing have been suggested to address the volatile environment in underwater communications. These continue researches; have enhanced the performance along with time. Meanwhile, there are still challenges to deal with for a better and efficient routing of data packets. Large end-to-end delays, high error channel rates, limited bandwidth, and the consumption of energy in sensor network are some such challenges. A comprehensive survey of the various routing methods for the partially connected underwater communication environment are presented in this paper.

Deneysel çalışmalar kapsamında cevherin farklı tane boyları üzerinde ağır sıvı analizi ve sallantılı masa testleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ağır sıvı sonuçları ve boyut dağılımları kullanılarak yerçekimiyle zenginleştirme devresinin performansı modelleme-simülasyon yardımıyla belirlenmiştir.

Cevherin kırma ve zenginleştirilmesine yönelik gerçekleştirilen simülasyon çalışmalarında, bünyesinde ağır ortam içeren bir akım şeması kullanılarak cevherden % 51 Mn verimi ile miktarca % 33.3 oranında, % 39.48 Mn ve % 11.75 Fe içerikli bir konsantrenin elde edilmesi mümkün görünmektedir. Konsantrenin SiO2 içeriği ise % 8-10 seviyelerine düşürülmüştür. Bu kapsamda Mn/Fe oranı yaklaşık “1” olan cevherden, spiraller ve ağır ortam ile zenginleştirmenin entegre edildiği akım şeması kullanılarak Mn/Fe oranı 3.36 olan ve metalurjik süreçlerde kullanılabilir bir mangan konsantresinin elde edilebileceği görülmektedir.
Development of Remote Optical Instrumentation for the Enhanced Detection of Airborne Environmental Toxins
Authors: Mungo Riley
Published: December 2022

The severity of wildfires in the United States are increasing and in the amount of acreage burned due to climate change and a sustained drought
in the western part of the country. As a greater number of wildfires burn in the west, the amount of smoke produced becomes a health concern to
the public. Wildfires release airborne toxins and hazardous air pollutants that cause adverse health effects to the public in high concentrations
but are of principle concern to health officials as they have differential impacts on infants and children. Some of the airborne toxins released
are carbonyl compounds such as: formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, acrolein, and methacrolein. An air quality index (AQI) is the primary method
of reporting air quality and the attributed health effects to the public. However, an AQI cannot quantify select pollutants or reliably quantify
the airborne toxins in situ. The development of a mid-IR and nonlinear Raman detection instrumentation would allow for more
dependable collection of wildfire smoke data and the quantification of select carbonyl compounds. Wildfire smoke was collected over the summer
of 2021 around southwestern Idaho using EPA method TO-11A to determine the reliability of the method against optical detection methods. The initial
development of a compact LED-based mid-IR instrument was constructed and limits of detection and quantitation were determined. Nonlinear Raman methods
were explored using the optical output from photonic crystal fibers, for which output characterization and the sensitivity, selectivity, and limits of
detection will be evaluated for the potential development of a compact all fiber spectrometer with real time in situ capabilities in Idaho.
The Effect of Right-to-Work Laws on Subjective Well-Being
Authors: Qualls Tyler
Published: December 2022

Using Oklahoma as a case study, this thesis applies a synthetic controls model to investigate the causal effect of right-to-work (RTW) laws on the well-being of the total population with a particular focus on the most affected subset, blue-collar workers and the less educated. The effect of RTW laws leads to a significant decrease in the happiness of blue-collar workers. To be specific, while results show a possible increase in unhappiness in the total population immediately following the adoption of the RTW law, for the more vulnerable blue-collar workers, the statistically significant negative effect of the law on happiness is observed not only immediately after adoption but remains persistent for a decade after.
Improving Children's Authentication Practices with Respect to Graphical Authentication Mechanism
Authors: Ratakonda Dhanush Kumar
Published: December 2022

A variety of authentication mechanisms are used for online applications to protect user’s data. Prior literature identifies that
adults and children often utilize weak authentication practices and our own initial research corroborates that children often
create weak usernames and passwords. One reason children adopt weak authentication practices is due to difficulties in remembering
their usernames and passwords. Existing literature suggests that people are better at remembering graphical information than text
and words. In this dissertation, my research goal is to improve the usability and security of children’s authentication mechanisms.
My research includes designing, developing, and evaluating a new graphical user authentication mechanism for children where
children choose a sequence of pictures as their password. In our studies, this mechanism, named KidsPic, allowed
children (ages 6-11) to create and remember their passwords better than an alphanumeric password.

Usability studies identified areas needing further investigation with regards to usability and security. With regards to usability: we
investigated whether resolution influences picture selection, the influence of category order on memorability, if the number of objects in a picture
influences its selection, and if picture features like dominant colors influences picture selection. With regards to security: we
designed and implemented mechanisms to mitigate brute-force and shoulder surfing attacks. For guessing attacks, we conducted a usability study with child dyads. The results and analysis from these additional usability research objectives revealed no influence of picture resolution, order of picture categories, number of objects in each picture, and dominant colors on children choosing pictures for their password. The security research objectives resulted in design enhancements of KidsPic that mitigate bruteforce, shoulder surfing, and guessing attacks.
Time-Lapse Active Source Seismic Characterization of a Leaky CO2 Reservoir
Authors: Slivicki Stephen
Published: December 2022

A carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) approach requires economical methods to monitor reservoir CO2 flow paths through time. I explore
the use of an inexpensive surface seismic approach to monitor the time-varying response of a leaky CO2 reservoir. My site is located
in east central Utah, where the Little Grand Wash fault provides a natural analogue for a failed sequestration site. This fault and related
anticlinal trap provides a conduit to collect and deliver CO2 from shallow reservoir depths to the atmosphere. Elevated
soil CO2 flux measurements, outgassing at the Crystal Geyser, and travertine deposits provide the surface expression of CO2 seeps
along and near the fault. Borehole and past geophysical data provide a structural and stratigraphic framework for the site.

Through historic and new water temperature data, I identify and characterize eruption cycles at the Crystal Geyser. I show that the frequency
and duration of eruptions changes through time, and I observe an overall increase in eruption duration. With a new seismic monitoring approach,
I show that a surface-based accelerated weight drop source into a stationary geophone spread is repeatable and appropriate for time-lapse
seismic studies to monitor reservoir changes. I show repeated surface and body wave measurements with a 30-hour time-lapse dataset. I model
seismic velocity changes with changing CO2 saturation within the main Navajo Sandstone reservoir. My models show that during initial
saturations, seismically resolvable reservoir changes are possible to monitor. However, I show that a critically saturated reservoir, like that
along the Little Grand Wash fault, shows travel time or amplitude changes that are below the resolving capabilities of my surface-based seismic
system. While my surface based seismic approach is not appropriate for monitoring CO2 changes at my field site, this same approach
could be used to monitor CO2 changes during initial CCS injection where a larger seismic response would be expected.
Solution Synthesis and Additive Manufacturing of Bismuth Telluride Nanoflakes for Flexible Energy Harvesting
Authors: Weltner Ariel E.
Published: December 2022

Flexible thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are energy harvesting devices which convert temperature differences into electrical power. These
devices require no moving parts and offer silent and autonomous operation. The variety of suitable materials covering a broad range of
operating temperatures positions TEGs as a promising renewable energy source using waste heat recovery, especially for space and microgravity
applications. Conventional manufacturing of flexible electronic and thermoelectric devices requires complicated and relatively expensive
processing, which limits the capabilities of in-space manufacturing. Additive manufacturing (AM) expands the use of flexible electronics to
new surfaces, applications, and recently, low gravity conditions. Plasma jet printing (PJP) is a new AM modality in which material is deposited
via a gravity- independent plasma. This thesis demonstrates solution processing, ink synthesis, and PJP of bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3)
nanoflakes for low temperature energy harvesting. Synthesis conditions were tailored to control nanoflake morphology and ink processing was
optimized for direct printing on flexible polyimide substrates. The thermoelectric films demonstrate promising thermoelectric properties,
material adhesion, and flexibility, with only a 7.2% variation in performance after 10,000 bending cycles over a 16 mm radius of curvature.
This advancement of Bi2Te3 solution processing and demonstration of PJP of thermoelectric films marks a significant contribution to in space manufacturing of flexible thermoelectric devices for wearable technology and low temperature energy harvesting.
Process-Property Linkages Construction for Inkjet Printing with Machine Learning
Authors: Jenabi Fataneh
Published: December 2022

Printed electronics are emerging technologies that can potentially revolutionize the manufacturing of electronic devices. One promising technology for printed electronics is inkjet printing. Inkjet printing offers both low-cost processing and high resolution. Being a subset of additive manufacturing, inkjet printing minimizes waste and is compatible with a wide range of inks. However, inkjet printing of electronic devices is still in its infancy. One major challenge for inkjet printing is the complexity of the process optimization and uncertain high throughput production. To achieve a high-quality print, there is a complex parameter space of materials and processing parameters that needs to be optimized. To address this challenge, in this thesis work, we develop a machine learning algorithm to connect the processing parameters to print morphology for inkjet processes. To achieve this goal, we developed more than 200 experimental samples and processed the print images automatically with OpenCV-based codes. Finally, we correlated the morphology specifications, i.e., print line width, overspray, and roughness to the processing parameters, i.e., cartridge height, nozzle voltage, and drop spacing, via a neural network model. The order of machine learning model accuracy from high to low is for line width, roughness, and overspray, respectively. The model's low predictability of overspray can be attributed to our limited dataset, Dimatix unreliable performance, or the low dependency of overspray on the processing parameters of this study.

Authors: Lone Basharat Majeed , Ali Manzoor , Rasool Humayoon , Shah Aliya , Zaman Muzzafar , Shah Akif Mutahar
Published: December 2022

Background: Internal rectal prolapse probably represents the first stage of a progressive anomaly that eventually leads to full thickness external prolapse. Non-surgical treatment modalities like dietary advice and feedback therapy should be used before doing any surgical intervention in such cases. This study focuses on clinical features, pathological outcomes and treatment modalities of internal rectal prolapse.Methods: The study is a combined prospective (from Aug. 2018 to Aug. 2020) and retrospective (from Aug. 2015 to Aug. 2018) conducted at Sher-I-Kashmir institute of medical sciences, Soura, SrinagarResults: A total of 79 patients were studied out of which 39 were retrospective and 40 were prospective. Internal rectal prolapse is usually missed by surgeons as a cause of obstructed defecation syndrome. So, it was worthwhile to study this entity in our patients.Conclusions: Before choosing any treatment strategy for internal rectal prolapse, conservative trial with dietary modification and feedback therapy should be attempted.

Authors: Sharma Akash , Jain Arpit , Luthra Gaurav
Published: December 2022

Background: Distal radius fractures that are unstable are challenging to treat. The locking distal radius plate screws is a superior alternative to the other forms of treatment (external fixator and K pin). The purpose of this study was to provide the radiographic and functional clinical outcomes of patients who had locking distal radius plate screws treatment. This study's objective was to clinically assess the results of using a locking distal radius plate system to treat radius fractures.

Methods: 31 patients with radius fractures are included in this retrospective clinical trial. They are all treated with a locking distal radius system made by Kaulmed Private Limited in Sonipat, Haryana, India. The patients were treated with variable angle locking distal radius plates that includes 2.4 mm KL-8 variable angle two column volar distal radius plates and 2.4 mm KL-8 variable angle volar rim distal radius plates. There were 31 patients consisting of 24 male and 07 female, with an average age of 44 years. The fractures were categorized based on AO classification and pre-operative fitness was assessed using American society of anaesthesiologist (ASA grade). The patients were assessed clinically, radiologically and functionally using visual analogue scale (VAS), post-operative radiographs and measuring grip strength and weight bearing respectively.

Results: Surgery was performed on 31 patients with at-least three post-operative follow-up visits in 180 days. No patient in any group complained after the final follow up about any major complications or hardware problems, and every patient's bone union was achieved successfully. Radiological outcomes also showed proper union in 6-7 weeks.

Conclusions: Distal radius volar locking plates provide effective results in correcting distal radius anatomy.
Digital Platforms for Renewable Energy Communities Projects: An Overview
Authors: Minuto Francesco Demetrio , Lanzini Andrea , Giannuzzo Lorenzo , Borchiellini Romano
Published: December 2022

The European Union energy policy agenda of achieving the transition to carbon neutrality has been established by an important legislative package called "Clean Energy for all Europeans". A novel approach introduced was to put the citizen at the center of the energy transition. On one side, by powering his freedom of action and, on the other side, by asking him an exceptional engagement in energy consumption reduction activities and in participating in the investments for new distributed Renewable Energy Sources (RES) power plants. The Renewable Energy Communities (REC) is the policy framework used to implement this strategy introduced by the Renewable Energy Directive Recast (RED II). In particular, RECs promote citizen’s active role by encouraging energy consumption reduction and energy demand flexibility while reducing the Not In My Bachyard (NIMBY) effect towards RES. Each member state is transposing the RED II directive, adapting it to national legislation and energy transition strategy. Pioneers countries like Italy have already started the experimentation of this framework and developing the first pilot projects. The citizens’ interest and their will to participate in REC projects indicate the need for supporting tools guiding them along all the project development stages: “design”, “creation”, and “operation”. This work presents three categories of supporting digital tools and platforms required to develop REC projects: Commercial, EU Founded and Freeware. We analyzed 30 tools, evaluating the services provided in each of the different stages of REC project implementation.

Published: December 2022

The policy article aims to formulate a re-adaptation to the impact of COVID-19 that strengthens the social resilience of villages in a sustainable manner based on empirical findings. This article uses a sequential mixed model research design approach analysis with focus group discussion, and it is strengthened by data collected from 105 respondents chosen through random sampling techniques, online in-depth interviews, and group interviews in the villages where the article was conducted. The result showed that the village government was able to build a dialogue with villagers to find common understanding and build collective action to overcome the impact of COVID-19. Another finding is that the village government can realize real action in synergizing social protection policies from the government with the development of social security in rural communities. It was concluded that the experience of overcoming the impact of COVID-19 should be used as an innovation in the development mechanism of village governments in Indonesia. The innovation described in this article is known as re-adaptation. Disaster adaptation is designed and included in the village government's development planning mechanism document. The article has limitations because it does not examine existing regulations that could be used to expand innovative practices.

Published: December 2022

The major coal producing companies of the India are running most of the opencast mines to excavate the underground developed pillars as the underground mines possess various strata control issues, subsidence, ensures low production and makes losses. During extraction of such developed pillars, the men and machineries may trap in the developed galleries. Hence, the conditions of the pillars and galleries need to be assessed before approaching the developed pillars. In this study, a case study of Jharia Coal field is chosen for detailed stability analysis of the workings. For this, 3D numerical modelling technique is applied to assess the condition of the underground pillars and galleries. From the study, it is observed that the pillars and galleries of the workings for a maximum of 15 m from the slope surface fails severely. It is therefore, these area requires special precautions while approaching the developed coal seam/workings.
Linear, Parabolic, and Inverted Parabolic Temperature Gradients Impact on Double-Diffusive Rayleigh-Darcy Convection : A Composite System with Couple Stress Fluid

Published: December 2022

The influence of linear, parabolic and inverted parabolic temperature gradients on the onset of double-diffusive Rayleigh-Darcy convection is theoretically investigated. The composite system is constrained horizontally by adiabatic and free-free thermal boundaries, and appropriate interfacial boundary conditions are used to connect fluid-porous layers. The regular perturbation approach is used to determine the critical Rayleigh number expression for different temperature gradients. Graphs are used to investigate the significance of a variety of dimensionless characteristics. The couple stress parameter, couple stress viscosity ratio, solute Rayleigh number, and solute diffusivity ratio clearly have a stabilizing effect on the system, whereas the Darcy number and thermal diffusivity ratio destabilize it.

Published: December 2022

In this paper, we look at how different nickel concentrations (4, 8, and 12 percent) affect the microstructure, microhardness, and dry sliding wear behaviour of a Cu-Zn-xNi alloy. The alloy was created using a casting technique at 1100°C and a heat treatment method that included solution treatment at 600°C and ageing at 450°C for four hours each. Microstructure studies were performed on the developed alloys using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). To investigate alloy indentation resistance, an ASTM E384 microhardness test was performed. Tribological properties such as friction and wear were investigated using a pin on disc tribometer and a dry sliding wear test according to the ASTM G99 standard. SEM studies revealed α-phase (copper) and solid solution of zinc in cast alloys, while aged alloys revealed a similar structure but with the addition of Cu2NiZn precipitates. The microhardness values improved as the Ni content and ageing increased. The decrease in secondary dendrite arm spacing with increasing Ni content and ageing was attributed to the improvement. The coefficient of friction decreased as the load increased, but increased as the sliding velocity increased. However, as loads and sliding velocities increased, so did the wear rate. For the majority of loads and sliding velocities, the worn surface demonstrated abrasion as the dominant wear mechanism.

Published: December 2022

In this paper, the dynamic analysis of a translating five-bar linkage mechanism is presented. The dynamic model of the mechanism is developed with the applied force to the crank arm resolved into the two principal planes, that is, x- and y- directions and the resulting reaction forces and moments at the pin joints determined at various translating acceleration of 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 m/s2 in the direction as well as in the opposite direction of the crank rotation. It was observed that the horizontal reaction forces at the pin joints were decreasing as the translating acceleration increases in the direction of crank rotation while it increases when the acceleration increases in the opposite direction to the crank rotation. It was also observed that the pin joint moments at point A decreases as the translation velocities increases in the crank arm rotation direction while it increases as the acceleration increases in the opposite direction. The converse is the case for pin joint B, while there were no significant differences for pin joint moments at pin joints C and D in all the considered acceleration in both directions. Also, the vertical reaction forces at the pin joints did not change in magnitude as the magnitude and directions of the acceleration were altered. The analysis brings to the fore the importance of the consideration of translating acceleration in the design, development and utilization of five – bar linkage to avoid failure at any of the joints.
