Authors: Seyed Sadjjadi Bijan , Sauer Alexander , Schmiedel Leo
Published: February 2023

Im Zuge der Dekarbonisierung industrieller Produktionssysteme spielt die Elektrifizierung von Prozessen eine wichtige Rolle. Wärmepumpen nehmen dabei aufgrund ihres Funktionsprinzips und der resultierenden Effizienz eine Schlüsselposition ein. Die vergleichsweise komplizierten Einbindungskonzepte und der geringe Bekanntheitsgrad hemmen die weitere Ausbreitung in der Produktion. Dieser Beitrag stellt ein Planungs- und Bewertungstool für Wärmepumpen vor, welches in Produktionssystemen genutzt werden kann.

 

The electrification of processes plays an important role in decarbonizing industrial production systems. Heat pumps are key due to their operating principle and the resulting efficiency. What prevents a more widespread implementation of this technology in manufacturing is that it is not particularly well-known and rather difficult to integrate. This paper presents a tool for planning and evaluating heat pumps, which can be applied in production systems.
Einsatz von KI bei der Prozessvorhersage für Bandsägen/Use of AI in process prediction for band saws – Artificial intelligence in predicting process forces in band sawing
Authors: Tandler Tobias , Hirth Thomas , Eisseler Rocco , Stehle Thomas , Möhring Hans-Christian
Published: February 2023

Häufig ist der Trennprozess von Halbzeugen mittels Bandsägen der erste Schritt in der Teilefertigung. Aufgrund bisher fehlender simulativer Untersuchungen wurden die Bearbeitungsparameter für diesen Prozess meist aufwendig experimentell ermittelt. Mit Analogieversuchen, die den zugrunde liegenden Prozess weitestgehend abdecken und mit viel geringerem Aufwand durchgeführt werden können, kann dies effizienter gestaltet werden. Der Beitrag untersucht, wie diese Versuche durch künstliche Intelligenz (KI) unterstützt und sich die Anzahl notwendiger Versuche reduzieren lassen.

 

The cutting process of semi-finished products by means of band saws is often the first step in producing parts. So far, the lack of simulative investigations usually meant that machining parameters for this process had to be determined experimentally at great expense. This can be done more efficiently by means of analogy tests. They cover most of the underlying process and are more easily executed. This article examines the extent to which artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to support these experiments and reduce the number of experiments required.

Wärmepumpen optimal aufstellen
Authors: Krawietz Tom
Published: February 2023

Das natürliche Kältemittel R290 hat hervorragende thermodynamische Eigenschaften. Moderne Luft-Wasser-Wärmepumpen in Monoblockbauweise mit dem R290-Kältekreis im Außengerät arbeiten daher besonders nachhaltig und energieeffizient. Das Flüssiggas ist zudem nicht ozonschädlich und besitzt mit seinem niedrigen Global Warming Potential von 3 einen sehr geringen Treibhauseffekt. Es ist daher auch hinsichtlich künftiger Verwendungsbeschränkungen und Verbote von fluorierten Kältemitteln als alternative Lösung interessant. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die Aspekte, die bei der Aufstellung von mit R290 betriebenen Wärmepumpen beachtet werden müssen.

Argumentación en la resolución de problemas: una estrategia para el aprendizaje del concepto de función lineal
Authors: Farfán N Sergio M. , Cuellar M Kelly J.
Published: February 2023

Este artículo presenta los resultados de una práctica docente desarrollada con 19 estudiantes de la institución educativa Gimnasio Campestre de Florencia, donde se indagó sobre los niveles de argumentación de los estudiantes cuando resuelven problemas que involucran el aprendizaje de la función lineal. Como estrategia metodológica, de intervención en el aula, se diseñó una unidad didáctica (UD), que se estructuró en tres momentos: momento de ubicación, momento de desubicación y momento de reenfoque. Cada momento sirvió como espacio para la comprensión y búsqueda de soluciones a problemas con procesos básicos de argumentación mediante prácticas experimentales estructuradas a través de fases, permitiendo llevar el concepto de función lineal a un contexto cotidiano. El análisis muestra que la calidad de los argumentos mejoró sustancialmente cuando se aplicó la UD, permitiendo pasar de niveles de argumentación mínimos a otros niveles de argumentación más altos, según lo planteado por Osbornen, Erduran & Simon (2004).

Authors: Maheshwari Udit , Priya Ashutosh
Published: February 2023

Background: For a long time India is trying to country dominant in digital currency compared to physical currency through various online payment methods, in which online wallets have played a significant role in this as these wallets can be operated through simple technical devices such as smartphones. Many companies have created and launched various online payment wallets and the majority of people have started accepting it in a short span of time. But many users are choosing other companies' wallets services compared to the previous service provider. Because there is a wide diversity in service of many service providers, which makes it is important to study factors responsible for the long-term usage intentions of users. The researches focusing on these aspects of quality are very small in number with factors such as quality of service, information and system. This paper aims to converge this gap through the application of a research model by connecting the two aspects of technical quality and acceptability.
Methodology: This study used primary data collected through an online questionnaire from Indian users of online wallet services. For analysis of data Structural Equation Modelling was adopted.
Results: The findings showed that the quality of information which users have regarding mobile wallets has a major influence on its usefulness although a major influence on the usefulness of quality of service and quality of the system was not seen. The security factor is majorly influenced by the quality of service and system. Long-term usage intentions of online wallet services are also majorly influenced by the security and usefulness of online wallet services.
Originality: This research will give comprehensive insights to the managers of companies, developers of technology and providers of online payment wallet services, which will help them to give more emphasis on various aspects of quality concerning technology and proposition of value. This study is among those few studies which focused on various aspects of quality concerning the technology of online wallet services.

Authors: Dixit Bhairavi M. , Panchal Kunal
Published: February 2023

Almost everything in the world is undergoing a rapid transformation right now, and it's happening all at once. The next generation will be the one to be accountable for establishing the groundwork for both society and the nation. When we talk about a “New Generation,” what exactly do we mean by that term? Is it merely infants and toddlers, older kids, or all living beings in general who are affected? Is it feasible for a child who is still in the process of being conceived to become a member of the following generation? Which role do you think the progeny should play in the narrative? When thinking about the best descendants in terms of how well they developed as a whole, what time span is ideal to consider? What exactly does it mean for the life of a man to have any kind of significance? The value of human life is a topic that is receiving a lot of attention right now in conversations all over the world. (Dixit, 2020) In the event that any of these issues become apparent, it is strongly suggested that an investigation be carried out as soon as possible. The current study aims to give insightful findings by focusing on the process of looking for answers to the problems that have been highlighted as a part of the study.

Premalignant lesions of the oral cavity encompass a broad range of pathology and are often comorbid in a variety of patient populations. Prompt diagnosis and management of these lesions are essential to prevent patient morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this article is to summarize and review the evaluation, screening and early detection of premalignant lesions of the oral cavity and to highlight the role of the dental team in recognizing and treating patients with these conditions, that may progress to oral cancer. In addition, a review of a non-invasive detection technique that is currently being marketed to aid general dentists and other healthcare providers for early diagnosis of potential cancerous lesions is presented. Although many studies have assessed the diagnostic accuracy of autofluorescence in oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs), there has been a paucity of such information in high-risk populations.

Authors: Moon Shinje , Song Young Shin , Jung Kyong Yeun , Lee Eun Kyung , Park Young Joo
Published: February 2023

Background: Thyroid cancer screening has contributed to the skyrocketing prevalence of thyroid cancer. However, the true benefit of thyroid cancer screening is not fully understood. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of screening on the clinical outcomes of thyroid cancer by comparing incidental thyroid cancer (ITC) with non-incidental thyroid cancer (NITC) through a meta-analysis.Methods: PubMed and Embase were searched from inception to September 2022. We estimated and compared the prevalence of high-risk features (aggressive histology of thyroid cancer, extrathyroidal extension, metastasis to regional lymph nodes or distant organs, and advanced tumor-node-metastasis [TNM] stage), thyroid cancer-specific death, and recurrence in the ITC and NITC groups. We also calculated pooled risks and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the outcomes derived from these two groups.Results: From 1,078 studies screened, 14 were included. In comparison to NITC, the ITC group had a lower incidence of aggressive histology (odds ratio [OR], 0.46; 95% CI, 0.31 to 0.7), smaller tumors (mean difference, −7.9 mm; 95% CI, −10.2 to −5.6), lymph node metastasis (OR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.48 to 0.86), and distant metastasis (OR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.77). The risks of recurrence and thyroid cancer-specific mortality were also lower in the ITC group (OR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.71 and OR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.28 to 0.74) than in the NITC group.Conclusion: Our findings provide important evidence of a survival benefit from the early detection of thyroid cancer compared to symptomatic thyroid cancer.
Survival Comparison of Incidentally Found versus Clinically Detected Thyroid Cancers: An Analysis of a Nationwide Cohort Study
Authors: Moon Shinje , Lee Eun Kyung , Choi Hoonsung , Park Sue K. , Park Young Joo
Published: February 2023

Background: The true benefit of thyroid cancer screening is incompletely understood. This study investigated the impact of ultrasound screening on thyroid cancer outcomes through a comparison with symptomatic thyroid cancer using data from a nationwide cohort study in Korea.Methods: Cox regression analysis was performed to assess the hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause and thyroid cancer-specific mortality. Considering the possible bias arising from age, sex, year of thyroid cancer registration, and confounding factors for mortality (including smoking/drinking status, diabetes, and hypertension), all analyses were conducted with stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) according to the route of detection.Results: Of 5,796 patients with thyroid cancer, 4,145 were included and 1,651 were excluded due to insufficient data. In comparison with the screening group, the clinical suspicion group was associated with large tumors (17.2±14.6 mm vs. 10.4±7.9 mm), advanced T stage (3–4) (odds ratio [OR], 1.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09 to 1.41), extrathyroidal extension (OR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.32), and advanced stage (III–IV) (OR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.35). In IPTW-adjusted Cox regression analysis, the clinical suspicion group had significantly higher risks of all-cause mortality (HR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.14 to 1.80) and thyroid cancer-specific mortality (HR, 3.07; 95% CI, 1.77 to 5.29). Mediation analysis showed that the presence of thyroid-specific symptoms was directly associated with a higher risk of cancer-specific mortality. Thyroid-specific symptoms also indirectly affected thyroid cancer-specific mortality, mediated by tumor size and advanced clinicopathologic status.Conclusion: Our findings provide important evidence for the survival benefit of early detection of thyroid cancer compared to symptomatic thyroid cancer.

Authors: Park Ji Yong , Choi Wonsuk , Hong A Ram , Yoon Jee Hee , Kim Hee Kyung , Kang Ho-Cheol
Published: February 2023

Background: There have concerns related with the potential harms of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). We aimed to summarize the clinical complications and evaluate the safety of FNAB.Methods: Studies related with the harms of FNAB were searched on MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane library, and KoreaMed from 2012 to 2022. Also, studies reviewed in the previous systematic reviews were evaluated. Included clinical complications were postprocedural pain, bleeding events, neurological symptoms, tracheal puncture, infections, post-FNAB thyrotoxicosis, and needle tract implantation of thyroid cancers.Results: Twenty-three cohort studies were included in this review. Nine studies which were related with FNAB-related pain showed that most of the subjects had no or mild discomfort. The 0% to 6.4% of the patients had hematoma or hemorrhage after FNAB, according to 15 studies. Vasovagal reaction, vocal cord palsy, and tracheal puncture have rarely described in the included studies. Needle tract implantation of thyroid malignancies was described in three studies reporting 0.02% to 0.19% of the incidence rate.Conclusion: FNAB is considered to be a safe diagnostic procedure with rare complications, which are mainly minor events. Thorough assessement of the patients’ medical condition when deciding to perform FNABs would be advisable to lower potential complications.

Published: February 2023

Background: This study investigated the diagnostic performance of biopsy criteria in four society ultrasonography risk stratification systems (RSSs) for thyroid nodules, including the 2021 Korean (K)-Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS).Methods: The Ovid-MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, and KoreaMed databases were searched and a manual search was conducted to identify original articles investigating the diagnostic performance of biopsy criteria for thyroid nodules (≥1 cm) in four widely used society RSSs.Results: Eleven articles were included. The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 82% (95% confidence interval [CI], 74% to 87%) and 60% (95% CI, 52% to 67%) for the American College of Radiology (ACR)-TIRADS, 89% (95% CI, 85% to 93%) and 34% (95% CI, 26% to 42%) for the American Thyroid Association (ATA) system, 88% (95% CI, 81% to 92%) and 42% (95% CI, 22% to 67%) for the European (EU)-TIRADS, and 96% (95% CI, 94% to 97%) and 21% (95% CI, 17% to 25%) for the 2016 K-TIRADS. The sensitivity and specificity were 76% (95% CI, 74% to 79%) and 50% (95% CI, 49% to 52%) for the 2021 K-TIRADS1.5 (1.5-cm size cut-off for intermediate-suspicion nodules). The pooled unnecessary biopsy rates of the ACR-TIRADS, ATA system, EU-TIRADS, and 2016 K-TIRADS were 41% (95% CI, 32% to 49%), 65% (95% CI, 56% to 74%), 68% (95% CI, 60% to 75%), and 79% (95% CI, 74% to 83%), respectively. The unnecessary biopsy rate was 50% (95% CI, 47% to 53%) for the 2021 K-TIRADS1.5.Conclusion: The unnecessary biopsy rate of the 2021 K-TIRADS1.5 was substantially lower than that of the 2016 K-TIRADS and comparable to that of the ACR-TIRADS. The 2021 K-TIRADS may help reduce potential harm due to unnecessary biopsies.

Protocol for impact of mindfulness meditation on health-related quality of life in hematopoietic cell transplantation recipients
Authors: Lad Deepesh P. , Chopra Madhu , Anand Akshay
Published: February 2023

Background: The procedure of Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is associated with a significant risk of morbidity and mortality and, consequently, significant distress in the HCT recipients. Few mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) in HCT recipients had heterogeneous intervention practices and equally heterogeneous tools to measure outcomes. While preliminary studies showed the feasibility and usefulness of MBI, subsequent randomized controlled trials were flawed by low intervention uptake and no differences in outcomes. We propose a simple and acceptable MBI using an app that may ensure better adherence.

Published: February 2023

The article covers topical issues of organizing intensive training of artillery cadets in wartime based on the remote use of 3D simulators. In such an educational process, there is a need to coordinate dynamically the speed of developing detailed 3D models with the speed of information perception by cadets. The authors describe the process of infor-mation exchange in training system and they propose a mathematical model of information transmission. In addition, they offer a mathematical model of information perception by cadet and conduct a pedagogical experiment. Finally, they draw conclu-sions regarding the implementation of the developed models within the educational process. The results of the pedagogical experiment confirm theoretical formulations and make it possible to synchronize the speed of 3D models development with the speed of their study, considering the intensity of perception by cadets of a huge information vol-ume within a short time
Past Myocardial Infarctions and Gender Predict the LVEF Regardless of the Status of Coronary Collaterals: An AI-Informed Research

Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: The degree of the development of coronary collaterals is long considered an alternate – that is, a collateral – source of blood supply to an area of the myocardium threatened with vascular ischemia or insufficiency. Hence, the coronary collaterals are beneficial but can also promote harmful (adverse) effects. For instance, the coronary steal effect during the myocardial hyperemia phase and that of restenosis following coronary angioplasty.
OBJECTIVES: Our study explores the contribution of coronary collaterals – if any exist – while considering other potential predictors, including demographics and medical history, toward the left ventricular (LV) dysfunction measured through the LV ejection fraction (LVEF).
METHODS: Our cross-sectional design study used convenience sampling of 100 patients (n = 100; a male-to-female ratio of 4:1). We conducted frequentist inference statistics using IBM-SPSS version 24 and Microsoft Office Excel 2016 with the analysis ToolPak plugin; we ran parallel neural networks (supervised machine learning (ML)) and a two-step clustering (non-supervised ML) for robust conjoint inference with frequentist statistics.
RESULTS: The past incidents of myocardial infarction (p = 0.036) and gender (p = 0.072) influenced the LVEF; both are significant predictors at a 90% confidence interval. We found that gender and past incidents of MI influenced the LVEF regardless of the status of coronary collaterals. Our study did not yield any positive or significant findings concerning the status of coronary collaterals or the coronary circulation dominance patterns.
CONCLUSION: Regardless of the status of coronary collaterals, we verified that the female gender is protective of the LV function, contrary to the past infarction incidents that predispose to a deteriorated LV function. Our study’s innovation relates to its status as the first study from India to explore the coronary collaterals and the ejection fraction while incorporating frequentist statistics and narrow artificial intelligence to infer reliable results.
