Electric vehicles (EVs) are currently regarded as one of the most energy-efficient modes of transportation, emitting no tailpipe emissions. 3 million electric vehicles are already on the road, and that number is expected to reach 100 million by 2030 . Notwithstanding, the execution of the proposed plan interest for tremendous charging foundation and gigantic electrical energy. Also, EVs must be economical when the electrical energy expected for charging is created from inexhaustible and practical energy sources. However, shifting emissions from vehicles to power plants through the use of fossil fuels for electricity generation does not reduce emissions. Accordingly, the utilization of sustainable power hotspots for power age can totally take out the emanation and gives a natural advantage. Solar photovoltaic (PV) based generation is the most feasible option for EV charging out of the various renewable energy sources that are available, such as wind energy, hydro energy, fuel cell-based energy, and solar photovoltaic (PV) array.

Blood and its components are main indicator tool in determining many pathological conditions. The deficiency of red blood cells, which constitutes 99% of blood cells and specialized as an oxygen carrier, causes various blood disorders. The diagnosis of blood cells manually is tedious and time consuming that could be simplified utilizing automatic analysis. We aim to automate the process by means of making a system that will detect RBC and WBC count along with detecting the level of hemoglobin and cancer cell detection. We aim to use processing along with machine learning to create this system that will provide RBC as well as WBC count of the user and will provide an accurate hemoglobin level for the sample provided by the user. We will use multiple image processing techniques and machine learning technique to achieve this desired result. With the advent of image processing, neural network microscopic photographs can be processed for the parameters required. The input of the system will be an image of the blood sample that will be acquired using microscopic camera and will be stored in database. Various algorithm are being applied on the image to count different parameters from it and accordingly the output will be displayed on the screen. In simple words, this system will prove to be cost effective and will not be time consuming as it will be using the best algorithms to automate the system.

Can Indigenous truth commissions overcome the legacies and contemporary effects of colonialism? A study on the Australian-Canadian experience to explore possible paths in Argentina

While restorative justice has been extensively growing in democratic settings, less explored is its connection with transitional justice or, in other words, there have been insufficient attempts to explore the possibility of applying restorative justice mechanisms in countries dealing with the aftermath of mass violence. Seeking to fill this gap, this article addresses the connections between transitional justice and Indigenous demands. Particularly, the study focuses on the role of truth commissions as a restorative justice mechanism with the potential of creating a new narrative on human rights violations (or a ‘narrative turn’). The article then analyses the experience of Indigenous truth commissions in Australia and Canada, considering them within their political contexts and providing a critical analysis of the results. Finally, the study analyses the Argentinean case and the possibility for a truth commission to uncover the legacy of human rights violations against Indigenous communities. It also considers how the comparative experience assists in assessing the pertinence of having a truth commission in Argentina. Altogether, the article aims to explore the role of truth commissions, applied through a decolonial, transformative and actor-centred perspective, and their potential to challenge the narratives that have largely legitimised or denied harms against Indigenous peoples.

Published: November 2023

The paper aims to identify wind characteristics at the Thien Nga - Hai Au field area using high resolution data generated by the WRF-ARW model. The results indicate that Northeast and Southwest winds are the most frequent, as compared to other directions. The highest wind speed values are observed during the winter monsoon. These findings exhibit reasonable consistency with those of climate survey in the Southern Bien Dong Sea. In addition, the study calculates the return period for extreme wind values, comparing between the cases of monsoon activity and storm activity. The extreme wind speed values are higher in winter (32.0 - 34.0 m/s) compared to summer (29.0 - 30.0 m/s), corresponding to return periods of 50 - 100 years. It is found that highest extreme wind speeds are associated with storm events (40.0 - 46.0 m/s).

Authors: Durukan İpek
Published: November 2023

Historical environments and cultural assets, which are important components of these environments, carry values that are transferred from generation to generation and provide a link between the past and the present. Today, globalization and urbanization, which pose a significant threat to this invaluable heritage, also threaten rural settlements, where place-specific values are relatively better preserved than in urban centers. The protection of the heritage values of historical environments as a whole and the importance of protection have also been revealed by international treaties. This article focuses on Yeşilburç Village in Niğde Province, one of the villages built by Greeks migrating to Greece and later inhabited by Muslims migrating from Greece, following the forced migration agreement signed between the Turkish and Greek governments in 1924.
Yeşilburç historical settlement was declared an urban conservation area in 2019, and a conservation plan is under construction in line with the current legal regulations in Turkey. In this study, it is claimed that the conservation works are a driving force and opportunity for the sustainability of the settlement, and the importance of the documentation studies carried out within the scope of the planning studies is emphasized. The data presented in this study is based on fieldwork and archival research conducted during the conservation planning process and assesses the challenges encountered in the process, the existing and potential values of the site, and the threats and opportunities that may hinder conservation. The key and triggering role of conservation and its potential resource quality is indispensable in maintaining the original values of the Yeşilburç settlement, which has a rich historical past, and new research will strengthen this situation.

Trigeminal neuralgia, one of the pain conditions with severe pain, can be effectively treated with pharmacotherapyand invasive methods of pain treatment (at the level of the peripheral nerve, Gasser's ganglion, or nerve root). Painfultrigeminal neuropathy is defined as facial pain in one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve caused by otherconditions or damage to the nerve. This condition can be effectively treated with individual pharmacotherapy andnon-pharmacological methods, and in some cases, invasive methods. In both diseases, many treatment methodscan be proposed, including the minimally invasive procedure of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF). The following studypresents two cases of successful therapy using pulsed radiofrequency of the peripheral branches of the trigeminalnerve in patients with trigeminal neuralgia and painful trigeminal neuropathy. Prior to the procedure, pain relief wasobtained in the painful branches of the trigeminal nerve after a diagnostic block. pulsed radiofrequency is a minimallyinvasive, safe for the patient treatment method.

Acute Acetabular Protrusion: the Hardinge Approach for Implant Removal and One-stage Hip Reconstruction
Authors: Mencia Marlon M. , Cruz Pedro Pablo Hernandez , Lewis Sean , Harnanan Dave
Published: November 2023

Acute penetration of a total hip arthroplasty into the pelvic cavity is a grave and potentially catastrophic scenario. Fortunately, this complication is uncommon and rarely encountered during a surgical career. Currently, a two-stage procedure is favoured by most surgeons, but the evidence for this is unconvincing and may expose the patient to unnecessary risks. Furthermore, a two-stage approach may be more suitable for the more common chronic migration of a loose acetabular shell, which fundamentally differs from acute pelvic penetration. We present the case of a 76-year-old man referred to our institution for reconstructive surgery following acute pelvic penetration of the acetabular shell during total hip arthroplasty. We used a single-stage Hardinge approach to retrieve the shell and successfully reconstruct the acetabulum. Specific indications for using this method are proposed. In carefully selected cases of intrapelvic implants, a single-stage method can improve patient outcomes while minimising unnecessary risks associated with the conventional two-stage approach.

Published: November 2023

Posterolateral tibial plateau fractures pose a challenge even to the most experienced orthopedic trauma specialists. Arthroscopic fracture management techniques have been emerging as an increasingly popular alternative in the treatment of selected tibial plateau fractures. This technique enables precise visualization of the articular surface of the tibia and its anatomical reduction with lateral meniscus repair, which further enables the restoration of biomechanical function of the meniscus and prevents early degeneration. In addition, this method minimizes soft tissue injury, shortens the duration of hospital stay and postoperative care, and enables treatment of accompanying intra-articular injuries. In our article, we present a case of posterolateral tibial plateau fracture with articular displacement and depression, and loss of support for the posterior margin of the lateral meniscus with an accompanying tibial eminence fracture. The fracture was treated with arthroscopic assistance. Anatomical reduction of the tibial eminence and the fragment of the posterolateral tibial plateau, as well as lateral meniscus repair was achieved intraoperatively. Postoperative radiographic assessment showed anatomical restoration of the articular surface. A full range of motion and pain-free knee stability were achieved following rehabilitation.

The critical role of computed tomography in the differential diagnosis of acute calcific tendinitis of longus colli muscle: A case report
Authors: Karatağ Gülden
Published: November 2023

Acute longus colli calcific tendinitis (ALCT) is a non-infectious inflammatory process. The typical clinical triad is acute neck pain, neck stiffness, and odynophagia. These findings can be confused with many common pathologies. As ALCT treatment is conservative and relatively easy, making the correct diagnosis is important. Radiology is of critical importance in the diagnosis of ACLT. The detection of prevertebral calcification by computed tomography is pathognomonic. Herein, we present a case with a sudden onset of neck and occipital pain accompanied by odynophagia following acute trauma and diagnosed with ALCT by radiological examination.

Authors: Demir Yasin
Published: November 2023

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to determine isokinetic features and analyze significant predictors related to activity level of patients with lower limb amputation. Patients and methods: Forty-three male patients (mean age: 32.9±8.8 years; range, 21 to 50 years) with lower limb amputation were recruited consecutively for this cross-sectional study between March 1, 2022, and June 30, 2022. The hip flexor and extensor peak torques and total work were evaluated by an isokinetic dynamometer. The secondary outcome measure was the Amputee Mobility Predictor. A linear regression analysis was used to determine factors independently affecting Amputee Mobility Predictor scores. Results: All data of patients with unilateral amputation, except for flexor (p=0.285) and extensor (p=0.247) peak torques on the dominant side, were higher than those of patients with amputation. Dominant side extensor peak torque was statistically higher than nondominant side extensor peak torque (59.4±30.7 vs. 43.4±32.0) in patients with bilateral amputation. No difference was detected between amputated and intact sides of patients with unilateral amputation. Both flexor and extensor total work on the amputated side of the patients with below-knee amputation were higher than the patients with above-knee amputations (63.5±21.1 vs. 94.1±34.3 and 67.1±34.0 vs. 113.0±51.5, respectively). Unilateral amputation (odds ratio: 7.442) and nondominant side extensor total work (odds ratio: 0.615) were found to be significant predictors related with amputee mobility predictor scale. Conclusion: It is possible to have an idea about the possible activity level of the patients with lower limb amputation with the help of the predictors obtained in the current study.

Authors: Köseoğlu Belma Füsun
Published: November 2023

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate long COVID patients with persistent respiratory symptoms through the application of the World Health Organization (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. Patients and methods: This national, prospective, multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted with 213 patients (118 females, 95 males; median age 56 years; range, 20 to 85 years) with long COVID between February 2022 and November 2022. The ICF data were primarily collected through patient interviews and from the acute medical management records, physical examination findings, rehabilitation outcomes, and laboratory test results. Each parameter was linked to the Component Body Functions (CBF), the Component Body Structures (CBS), the Component Activities and Participation (CAP), the Component Environmental Factors (CEF), and Personal Factors according to the ICF linking rules. Analysis was made of the frequency of the problems encountered at each level of ICF category and by what percentage of the patient sample. Results: In the ICF, 21 categories for CBF, 1 category for CBS, and 18 categories of CAP were reported as a significant problem in a Turkish population of long COVID patients with persistent respiratory symptoms. Furthermore, eight categories for CEF were described as a facilitator, and four as a barrier. Conclusion: These results can be of guidance and provide insight into the identification of health and health-related conditions of long COVID patients with persistent respiratory symptoms beyond the pathophysiological aspects, organ involvement, and damage of COVID-19. The ICF can be used in patients with long COVID to describe the types and magnitude of impairments, restrictions, special needs, and complications.
Towards a Political Ecology of Knowledge: Reconnecting with the Legacy of Radical Science Movements
Authors: Lalande  , Le Marec
Published: November 2023

In this essay we discuss the legacy of the 1970s French radical science movement (FRSM) and the way they influence contemporary collective inquiries and personal commitments concerning different forms of knowledge production. Among other things, The FRSM explored new ways of knowledge production, inside and outside of academic institutions. However, due to the institutionalization of those critiques and their foundational function for disciplines like STS, their legacy has gradually become forgotten. The current renewal of critiques of science since the 2000s allows for a reconnection with this particular history. We show that even if many of them were more interested in a return to an ideal autonomous science, they often also underline the fact that precariousness constitutes a condition that reveals what really counts in science and knowledge. We claim that in this way those critiques help us seriously consider the living and dead aspects of science and, consequently, how to protect or undo them. Critical approaches that consider actual asymmetries and precariousness could become the basis for a political ecology of knowledge.

Language Attitudes and Multilingualism: Perceptions of Native and Non-Native Accents in Multilingual Communities
Authors: Alshihry Mona A.
Published: November 2023

This research explores into the complex interplay between demographics, language preferences, and how an audience interprets an accent in multilingual communities. Our study employed a quantitative methodology to examine how receptive individuals of three age groups were to linguistic variety. The purpose of the research was to learn more about the linguistic diversity present in these active groups. Our findings add significantly to the body of knowledge on this subject. The study's results highlight the importance of age in influencing linguistic attitudes in bilingual and multilingual contexts. It is important to note that younger generations have generally more positive attitudes regarding dominant or prominent languages associated to modern trends and global communication. On the other hand, older people tend to have a deep love for their native tongue and regional identity. The aforementioned generational differences underscore the dynamic nature of linguistic attitudes and emphasize the role of age-related sociolinguistic factors in shaping individuals' linguistic preferences and connections. Curiously, in multilingual societies, age does not have a major role in how an accent is perceived. This research provides new insight into how people of varying ages respond to and interact with speakers with a variety of accents. Exposure to a variety of languages, individual views about language, and the effects of being multilingual all contribute to the development of adaptability. Potential implications for promoting linguistic diversity, easing cross-cultural communication, and creating welcoming environments that encourage contact among people of different language backgrounds are shown by this study's findings.
Advances in the Study of Pathological Histology and Pathogenesis of Endometrial Polyps
Authors: Dao Aihua , Pan Chunhong
Published: November 2023

Endometrial polyps (EPs) are common gynecological diseases among women of childbearing age. They are formed by the proliferation of blood vessels and connective tissue in a portion of the endometrium, resulting in the formation of a polyp-like mass that protrudes into the uterine cavity and varies in size and number. Typically, the body of the uterus is the site of implantation of these polyp-like growths, which are attached to the medial wall of the uterine cavity by a long, thin tip. Irregular vaginal bleeding is the first clinical manifestation of endometrial polyps, and it can often lead to infertility. Studies have shown that the prevalence of endometrial polyps in the female population is approximately 25.0%. With the widespread use of hysteroscopic techniques in clinical practice, knowledge and diagnosis of endometrial polyps have significantly improved. However, pathological examination remains the “gold standard” for final diagnosis in clinical practice. This article aims to review the epidemiology, pathological histology, and pathogenesis of endometrial polyps to reveal their mechanisms and characteristics more accurately and guide further clinical research and treatment. The relevant progress in recent years in this field, both domestically and internationally, is reviewed below.
Dornach: In the Footsteps of Rudolf Steiner
Authors: Paull John
Published: November 2023

When the New Age philosopher Dr Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) arrived at the Dornach hill, a short tram ride from Basel, Switzerland, it offered virtually a tabula rasa for his creative genius. Over the next little more than a decade (beginning 1913), Steiner populated this landscape with a multitude of new buildings in his unique organic architecture style. Having settled on Dornach as the site for his Anthroposophy headquarters with its centrepiece structure, the Goetheanum (the name came later), a colony of adherents, devotees, seekers, disciples, artists and artisans were drawn to Dornach. The integrity of the precinct has been maintained for a century and a visitor treading the hill will be in the footsteps of Rudolf Steiner and seeing his Anthropop colony much as he witnessed it in his own time. The buildings of the precinct range from the grand (the Goetheanum), the bold (Haus Duldeck), the curvaceous (the Glass House), the quaint (Haus Vreede), the ugly (Haus de Jaager), the utilitarian (the Schrenerei), the basic (the Atelier), the fanciful (Transformatorenhaus), the phallic (Heizhaus), and the monastic (Eurythmiehaus). Many tastes (and budgets) were catered for as Rudolf Steiner explored and invented his organic architectural style. Nearly a century after his death there are now more than 180 Anthropop buildings within the greater Goetheanum precinct, including the nearby villages of Dornach and Arlesheim. The present paper presents 21 views of the greater Goetheanum precinct. The building start dates are specified. Many of the buildings were designed by Rudolf Steiner (those are asterisked).

MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AT A YOUNG AGE: ANALYSIS OF
CLINICAL CASES FROM THE DUPLEX REGISTRY DATABASE
Authors: Gaisenok O.V.
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyze clinical cases of myocardial infarction occurring at a young age within a sample of patients from the Duplex registry database (n=2548), to assess the prevalence of major risk factors and comorbid conditions. Specifically, patients under the age of 45 were selected (n=351). Patients who experienced post-myocardial infarction were identified using data from clinical and
anamnestic records, in accordance with the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision - their proportion was 0.85% (n=3) (all male patients; mean age 35 ± 1.4 years). Two out of three were smokers and had other traditional risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia and overweight. In addition, patients had important comorbid diseases: morbid obesity, lymphogranulomatosis, hepatitis with transformation to liver cirrhosis. All of them had confirmed atherosclerosis of the arteries of the lower extremities. Probably one of the main precipitating factors for myocardial infarction development in them was a hereditary predisposition
due to a burdened family history, although none of them met the Dutch Lipid Clinics Network criteria for familial hyperlipidemia and none of them underwent genetic testing.
A better understanding of risk factors and pathophysiological pathways in young adults may improve strategies for both preventing and treating myocardial infarction in this patient group. Raising awareness can help identify young individuals at higher risk and determine primary prevention strategies. However, the identification of patients with premature coronary artery disease by screening for traditional risk factors does not effectively identify patients at risk prior to the diagnosis of myocardial infarction.
Additional studies are needed to evaluate new risk factors and apply additional imaging techniques so that these patients can be identified before myocardial infarction occurs.
