Authors: Melnychuk I. O.
Published: December 2023

The aim. To estimate the connections between platelet morphological characteristics and amino acids (AA) profile in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and atrial fibrillation (AF).

Materials and methods. 300 patients were included in the study. They were divided into 3 groups: first (CAD) – 149 patients with CAD but without arrhythmias, second (CAD+AF) – 124 patients with CAD and AF paroxysm and control group – 27 patients without CAD and arrhythmias. Platelets AA level was detected by method of ion exchange liquid column chromatography. Total platelet count (PC), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelets distribution width (PDW), platelet-to-leukocyte (PLR) were obtained from common blood count.

Results. Significant decline of PC and rise of MPV and PLR ratio was found in CAD patients and AF paroxysm in comparison with group with CAD without arrhythmia, p < 0.05. Significant increase of isoleucine, leucine and decrease of threonine, serine, glycine, valine levels was found, changes in branched chain amino acids (rise of Isoleucine + Leucine / Valine ratio) and Glycine + Serine (decline Glycine + Serine sum) metabolism were revealed in CAD patients and AF paroxysm in comparison with group with CAD without arrhythmia, p < 0.05. Phenylalanine / Tyrosine ratio was significantly elevated in CAD patients with and without AF, p < 0.05.

Taurine, serine, and glycine correlated with platelets morphological characteristics: PC (r = 0.714, r = 0.732 and r = 0.340 consequently), MPV (r = -0.724, r = -0.390 and r = -0.571 consequently), PDW (r = -0.666 and r = -0.364 consequently) and PLR (r = 0.586 and r = 0.648 consequently), p < 0.05. Platelets glycine (AUC = 0.8760), valine (AUC = 0.8707), leucine (AUC = 0.8267) and threonine (AUC = 0.8213) levels are closely connected with AF paroxysm in CAD patients by ROC-analysis results, p < 0.05.

Platelets amino acids combinations: Glycine + 0.6 × Valine (AUC = 0.9987), Threonine – 3.6 × Leucine (AUC = 0.9040) were found in prediction AF paroxysm for CAD patients by ROC-analysis results, p < 0.05.

Conclusions. Connections between platelets morphology and AA profile violations in patients with CAD and AF paroxysm were found in our study.

Published: December 2023

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is listed as one of the worst aquatic plants in the world and its presence in Lake Tana in Ethiopia has been recognized since 2011. Currently, the plant coverage in the lake is increasing and very limited studies have been conducted in the country on practical application of water hyacinth. The aim of this study was to determine the phytochemicals, functional groups and Tannin content of the water hyacinth plant found in the Lake, which could serve as a vegetable tanning agent. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to assess the quality tannin in the plant stem and leaves. On phytochemical analysis of the dried material, the tannin content was found to be 4.1% for leaves and 2.7% for stem parts. As the tannin content of the leaves was higher than the stem parts, leather tanning conducted using the 10% wt and 20% wt leaves and the quality of tanned leathers was evaluated and compared with the leather made from quebracho vegetable tanning material as a control. Most properties of leathers tanned using the leaves met the minimum specified standards for leather product manufacturing, which includes tearing strength > 45 N, percent elongation at break > 42% distension at grain crack > 6.5 mm, and distension at burst >7.8 mm. Even though shrinkage temperature is one of the most important parameters in determining the thermal stability of leather, the leather tanned with leaves extract had a shrinkage temperature of 52°C, which is lower than the standard limit (75°C) for leather product manufacturing. This indicated that, the crosslinking reaction between the hide (collagen fibers) and tannins (leaves) was weaker, implying that the leather would not be as durable or of higher quality. Similarly, the maximum tensile strength of tanned leather was 7.2 N/mm2, which is lower than the standard requirement (20 N/mm2) for leather product manufacturing. Therefore, water hyacinth leaves extract has limited potential as a vegetable tanning agent, and the tanned leather will not be used to make leather products that requires good thermal resistance and strength. On the other hand, the tanned leather may be utilized for leather products that need minimal tensile strain and thermal property requirements such as leather photo frames, sketchbook leather bound, etc. Since water hyacinth tannin is less than ideal as a tanning agent due the minimum shrinkage temperature and tensile strength of the tanned leather, the potential of the plant as a retanning agent should be studied in future.

Published: December 2023

This paper presents a method for effectively characterizing the dielectric permittivity of nematic liquid crystals across a broad frequency range. These materials show significant potential for reconfigurable devices operating in microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies. To achieve this goal, an additive manufacturing technique is used to create a microstrip line that can be filled with liquid that acts as its substrate. The liquid crystal is then biased to modulate its permittivity. After manufacturing, a time-gating approach is used to extract the permittivity, eliminating the need for TRL calibration. Finally, the approach is validated through simulations and experimental results, which closely align with those reported using other methods in the bibliography.

Published: December 2023

Recently, a microporous copper inverse opals (CIO) wick material has been utilized in the thermal management of microelectronics as it significantly enhances heat transfer performance with capillary-fed boiling, providing a high critical heat flux of up to ~1100 W/cm2. In this study, we numerically investigate the thermomechanical reliability of the CIO structures with a finite element method. The mechanical stress of ordered and graded CIO structures is simulated under the conditions of external shear load and boiling-induced thermal expansion. Different geometric parameters, including pore diameter and the neck-to-pore ratio of ordered CIO, and overlap distance and pore gradient of graded CIO, have been parametrically studied. Based on the effective mechanical properties extracted with the representative volume element (RVE) method, the mechanical response of the porous structure is being further understood. The von Mises yield criterion is applied to determine the fracture of the copper structure. The reliability of ordered CIOs is assessed by evaluating the maximum von Mises stress and shear stress under the shear load, showing lower stresses with larger pore diameters and smaller pore-to-neck ratios. In contrast, a decrease in thermal stresses is found to appear in ordered CIOs with small pores and large neck-to-pore ratios under boiling conditions. The thermomechanical reliability of graded CIOs is analyzed with different pore gradients and overlap distances. The stress distribution of graded CIO structures indicates maximum stresses near the Si-Cu interface in the shear test, while the interfaces between layers of CIOs are more vulnerable under boiling conditions. In terms of the pore gradient effects, the graded CIO with a larger gradient tends to be more fragile due to the larger stresses at the interfaces between pore diameters induced by the increased differences in pore diameter.

Published: December 2023

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles play a crucial role in various operations especially where human life must be protected. This work presents an adaptable intelligent system suitable to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of drone swarm operations in a 3D dynamic environment. The system incorporates several modules, including an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO)-based path planning algorithm, collision avoidance mechanism, messaging system, and a hybrid navigation approach, which evaluates the application requirements to decide to prioritize the desired formation of the swarm or the path length and flight time. The proposed system is adaptable and can optimize to several optimization parameters, including solution quality, time consumption, mission completeness, and average divergence. The experiments show that the system consistently provides high-quality paths, achieving around 97% path quality in most cases, and never declines below 90%, even in challenging scenarios. The collision avoidance module ensures 100% mission completeness successfully navigating drones around obstacles and maintaining an optimal path. Moreover, the hybrid navigation approach demonstrates the ability to maintain desired formations while dynamically adapting to obstacles. The system’s performance shows its potential for real-world applications, ensuring efficient and autonomous operations in different missions.

In anatomic pathology laboratories, several processes are still manual. Automated solutions can help standardizing the fabrication/processing of paraffin-embedded tissue blocks (PETBs) for a reliable and more effective diagnosis. Here, we propose a novel and automated strategy to introduce a fiducial marker within PETBs, serving as a reliable reference point. This would assist the clinician in automatically identifying specific regions of biological tissue in paraffin-embedded tissue blocks and paraffin-free tissue slices, in case the patient needs further laboratory analysis on that tissue portion to indicate a tailored treatment (e.g., oncological treatment). The proposed strategy implies the introduction of two automated platforms integrated into the conventional anatomic pathology workflow. The first one, named “Indexing”, involves the insertion of a fiducial marker in tissue-free areas within PETBs. The second one, named “Virtual marker reconstruction”, grounds on image analysis and virtually reconstructs the fiducial marker on the paraffin-free tissue slice. An algorithm that analyzes the similarity of the tissue was also developed to assist the traceability of the biological tissue along its processing from the embedding to the post-staining phase. Together, these platforms could assist the work of anatomopathologists, helping avoiding errors and supporting the final diagnosis in a future automated laboratory.
Modelling and Analysis of Unbalanced Magnetic Pull in Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine with Specialized Stator Winding
Authors: Sharukh Sharukh , kalita Karuna
Published: December 2023

Electrical machines with eccentrically positioned rotors experience strong unbalanced magnetic pull directed towards the narrowest air gap. This unbalanced force increases the rotor eccentricity and degrades machine performance. Accurate computation and reduction of electromagnetic force are required for controlling electromagnetic vibration, and this can be achieved by employing a bridge-configured winding scheme. This paper presents a two-dimensional bridge configured permanent magnet synchronous machine model to investigates the force compensating strategy under different eccentricity of PMSM. Furthermore, the force components under rotor eccentricity are compared with Bridge ON and Bridge OFF conditions. The connection of bridge points allows the different currents to flow in different coil groups, reducing the unbalanced magnetic pull. The modelling and simulation of PMSM have been done using time-stepping finite element method. The finding indicates that connecting the bridge points can significantly reduce the amplitude of the electromagnetic force components induced by different rotor eccentricities.

Is Applied Drama and Theatre Ready to Embrace the 4IR?: A Reflection on a Playback Performance at a Women’s Shelter in the Western Cape during COVID-19, 2021
Authors: Qhobela Lireko
Published: December 2023

Is applied drama and theatre in South Africa ready to embrace the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)? This question came from the sudden scramble for innovation and resourcefulness during the COVID-19 pandemic, when tight restrictions of social distancing were introduced in 2020. Since restrictions were lifted in 2022, the need for Zoom interventions – which were the main points of access for practitioners during the frst waves of COVID-19 – have seen less urgency. Instead, online platforms are now used as a quick way of joining in meetings, while rehearsals are preferred in-person. As part of the conversation on how the arts participate in the 4IR, this paper aims to highlight some of the ways applied drama and theatre was able to keep up (or not) with the development of technology during the global pandemic. The paper refects on a case example that formed part of a practice-led research project. The case example is of a hybrid playback theatre performance that took place in the Western Cape at a women’s shelter for gender-based violence (GBV).
Nieświeska komedyja Skanarela
Authors: Kencki Patryk
Published: December 2023

Artykuł stanowi wstęp do edycji przekładu Le médecin malgré lui Moliera dokonanego przez Franciszkę Urszulę Radzwiłłową. Wśród postaci komicznych stworzonych przez Moliera, trzy są szczególne: Skapen, Masakryl i Sganarel (Skanarel). Komedie z ich udziałem trafiły na staropolskie sceny, wystawiane bądź w języku oryginału, bądź w polskim przekładzie. W dorobku Franciszki Urszuli Radziwiłłowej znajdują się spolszczenia trzech sztuk francuskiego dramaturga. Obok Les précieuses ridicules i Les amants magnifiques znajduje się także Le médecin malgré lui przetłumaczony przez księżną na język polski jako Gwałtem medyk. Komedia przedstawia przygody Sganarela, który zmuszony jest grać lekarza. Sganarel pojawia się w kilku sztukach Moliera. O ile w pierwszej z nich (Le médecin volant) widzimy raczej typ cwanego służącego, o tyle w późniejszych komediach nabiera on bardziej indywidualnych cech, stając się postacią tchórzliwym i nierozważnym. Edycja polskiej adaptacji Księżnej Radziwiłłowej daje możliwość przyjrzenia się Sganarelowi i innym postaciom, które można uznać za bliskich krewnych Harlequina. Wstęp do wydania koncentruje się więc na tych postaciach w twórczości Moliera, zestawiając je z pewnymi spostrzeżeniami na temat Arlekina, który pojawia się w sztukach księżnej kilkakrotnie. Ponadto we wstępie prześledzono recepcję Le médecin malgré lui w Polsce w pierwszej połowie XVIII wieku i przeanalizowano techniki translatorskie Radziwiłłowej. Konkluzja podkreśla metateatralny aspekt Sganarela jako archetypicznego komedianta

Sarape saltillense: de lo textil a lo arquitectónico
Authors: Dávila del Bosque Argelia Isabel , Carmona Ochoa Gabriela , Recio Dávila Carlos
Published: December 2023

La presente investigación forma parte de un proyecto doctoral y pretende profundizar en el estudio de la prenda del sarape desde diversas vertientes; al definir la iconografía del sarape que se encuentra en la prenda como símbolo y su derivación a la aplicación gráfica en las viviendas del Centro Histórico de Saltillo que fueron modificadas entre 1880 y 1930, gracias a los avances tecnológicos de la época. Todo esto, mediante la investigación teórica, así como desde el punto de vista semiótico para determinar si este registro tangible y material, se traslada de un soporte textil a un soporte arquitectónico que se reafirma como símbolo de identidad saltillense. El abordaje metodológico será de forma estructurada al lograr una aproximación y reflexión desde la teoría de los imaginarios y la semiótica, así como la utilización del método Panofsky (1892-1968) para el análisis visual de los elementos encontrados. Como resultado de esta reflexión y estudio de la información recabada se presenta el análisis visual, interpretativo y analógico de los componentes del sarape en relación con los elementos arquitectónicos encontrados en las viviendas seleccionadas, derivando así la utilización del símbolo como recurso de rescate identitario en la arquitectura de la ciudad de Saltillo.

Esta investigación instrumental del Cuestionario de Relación (RQ) construido por Bartholomew y Horowitz (1991) y traducido por Yárnoz-Yaben y Comino (2011), adapta sus 5 ítems para la población masculina de Arequipa, a partir de la evaluación de una muestra de 413 varones entre 18 y 35 años. Se modificaron 2 ítems y el análisis factorial confirmatorio arrojó un modelo unidimensional identificado de 4 ítems con un ajuste satisfactorio. El RQ constituye un instrumento referencial para la identificación de estilos de apego sin varianza etaria que debe ser contrastada con la evaluación clínica o utilizado en casos en que su medida es de importancia secundaria.
Failure Log Analytics for Reducing Electrical Machine Downtime using Deep Learning
Authors: Kumar Sumit , Ranjan Rakesh , Bhupati Bhupati , Sharma Harish Dutt , Misra Yogesh
Published: December 2023

Electrical machine downtime reduces productivity across various operation times that are addressed using stored data logs in the controller. Analyzing such logs is useful in preventing/ reducing machine downtime through precise controller options. This article proposes a Downtime Reduction-focused Log Analytical Model (DR-LAM) for improving the machine operation time by reducing operation failures. In this model, deep learning is employed for differentiating the production-less electrical cycles in correlation with the previous output. This differentiation is conditional using run-time failures and failed operation cycles. Therefore the logs are analyzed based on the above differentiations for precise problem identification. The training for the deep learning network is provided using previous differentiated cycle logs improving the detection ratio.
Combinatorial Group Testing Algorithms Improved for d=3
Authors: Jančařík Antonín
Published: December 2023

This paper aims to improve one well-known method for d=3. In the original article, two algorithms were presented, one for d=3 and another (Chinese remainder sieve method) that was adjustable for arbitrary d. In its basic form, the Chinese remainder sieve method was always better than the explicit algorithm for d=3. In our proposed form, the modified algorithm for d = 3 is more efficient for some small n, and it also pushes the lower bound from which an efficient algorithm exists.
Interpretation of Turkish reflexive anaphors: subjecthood vs semantic role
Authors: Oğuz Metehan , Kaiser Elsi
Published: December 2023

The current study investigates what factors control the interpretation of Turkish third person reflexive anaphors kendi and kendisi. Our results indicate that, in certain contexts, kendi and kendisi behave alike, which is a novel finding. We show that both kendi and kendisi have a slight subject-orientation, and they are sensitive to semantic roles, being perceiver-oriented. Lastly, our results show that word order affects the interpretation of kendi and kendisi, and that they prefer salient preceding DPs. Based on our findings as a whole, we suggest that both kendi and kendisi show some pronominal properties, and we suggest that Kornfilt’s (2001) proposal that kendisi can function as a pronoun might be extended to kendi as well.
Does the Dependence of Brand Voice on AI Restrict Freedom of Expression in Social Media?
Authors: Siroda Sati , Surikova Jūlija
Published: December 2023

With the advent of social media and a unique brand voice, brand communications frequently employ artificial intelligence (AI) to facilitate timely interactions across the many channels of communication, and often integrate communications. This research seeks to investigate the influence of an AI-regulated brand voice on the freedom of expression (FOE) when communicating on social media.

A qualitative research design is implemented based on content analysis. The research gap was identified by reviewing the role of brand voice using AI, the application of AI to monitor freedom of expression, and the study of integrating FOE in brand voice generation using AI. Various case studies were used to conclude that AI-regulated brand voice has a substantial impact on the freedom of expression on social media, which is frequently governed by privacy rules. This study establishes that a brand’s communication in its social media portfolio is governed by national and international laws that regulate freedom of expression and thus have legal implications. This study suggests that AI must be fed information to prevent content such as hate speech, bullying, and so on, and produce a brand voice with checkpoints for human validation and verification to maintain general societal decorum.
Innovation Management Model for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs): Georgia
Authors: Vevere Velga , Rizhamadze Ketevan
Published: December 2023

The present article explores the internal and external factors that enable the implementation of innovative practices within Georgian SMEs and the successful management of innovation and growth. We posit that a well-functioning and effective innovation management model is a prerequisite for growth and sustainability. The research aims to propose a conceptual model of innovation management and assess whether the application of innovation practices impacts the company’s growth in the targeted sample. The interpretation of results is based on examining the phenomenon and synthesis of theoretical information and data obtained from the online questionnaire and focus group. The data reported here appear to support the assumption that innovation management and a good combination of human and financial resources shall be the basis upon which the growth is implemented. As there is still a scarcity of research on innovation management practices in SMEs in developing countries, notably in Georgia, the present study shall contribute to the business and innovation management literature and shall develop recommendations and suggestions for start-up managers, entrepreneurs, policymakers or other interested parties. Consequently, the present research shall attempt to combine theoretical and empirical substantiations and create practical implications.
