The increasing in construction projects has resulted in an increasing demand for concrete. This has the potential to increase crushing test waste, becoming an environmental issue as it can create large landfills and pollute the environment. Therefore, this research aims to develop an effective and innovative solution for managing crushing test waste by reusing it in infrastructure as an aggregate substitution in asphalt mixtures. The method used was an experimental study of AC-BC paved mixtures starting with finding the Optimum Asphalt Content (KAO), then aggregate substitution with percentages of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100 at fc’25 concrete grade. Marshall testing was conducted on all test specimens to obtain the parameters for assessing the asphalt mixture. The research shows that the addition of a crushing test to the waste can change the Marshall parameters by asphalt mixtures. Thus, this solution will be the result of the negative effect by crushing test waste on the environment and improve material use efficiency in the construction industry.

The Genus Striga Lour. in Western India
Authors: Saldanha C. J.
Published: May 2024

The nomenclature of the Strigae is unsatisfactory. The name Striga asiatica has been a source of confusion as the original description is ambiguous and the Linnaean plant material is a mixture of several species. This name comes under purview of Art. 69 of the Code and has, therefore, been rejected.A study of the type material and of the original description of Buchnera euphrasioides Vahl indicate that it is quite distinct from Striga euphrasioides Benth. According to Art. 55 of the Code the name Striga euphrasioides (Vahl) Benth. has to be restricted to Vahl's plant. The plant commonly called Striga euphrasioides Benth. has been renamed as Striga angustifolia (Don) comb. nov.The third part of the paper gives a dichotomous key, the nomenclature of and distributional notes to the 5 species of Striga occurring in the wet, western part of peninsular India.

Published: May 2024

The aim of the study was to investigate the distance between Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) type and stage.. Our prospective study, the dry-type AMD group consisted of 296 patients with early and 284 patients with late-stage. The neovascular AMD group included 285 early and 277 late-stage patients. The control group consisted of 300 patients. AMD patients were grouped as dry and neovascular type and early and late stage. The patients were questioned about the use of drugs for PD, and the use was recorded as having the disease. If any of the complaints seen in the PD were present, the patient was referred to a neurologist. PD was detected in 1% of the control group and 4.6% in the neovascular type AMD group, and this difference was significant (p:0.04). This difference was present in both the early (%4.5) and late-stage (%4.6 ) (p:0.04, p:0.04). PD was determined 3.78 times greater among neovascular AMD patients(p:0.03), and significant association was present in both early (3.72 times) and late-stage (3.82 times) (p:0.03, p:0.03). In the dry-type AMD group 2.7% PD was detected and there was no statistical difference (p>0.05). This difference was not significant in the early stage (%2.3) or late-stage (%2.8) and also there was no association with dry-type AMD (p>0.05). Also, unilateral and bilateral involvement in AMD was not associated with PD (p>0.05). Our study revealed the association between both early and late neovascular AMD and PD. However, any significant relationship was not detected in terms of both unilateral and bilateral involvement.
Research on the Identification of High-Potential Nursing Talents for Intelligent elderly Care Based on Multi-Benchmarking Selection and Competitive Analysis
Authors: Xie Zhongjun , Wang Gaoling
Published: May 2024

The intelligent elderly care model places new demands on the skills of aging caregivers. The identification and development of forward-thinking, high-potential nursing talent is essential for advancing the intelligent elderly care sector. Multi-benchmarking selection and competitive analysis is used to evaluate and identify nursing personnel in the rehabilitation treatment center of a hospital in Hefei City. Using proxy evaluation and democratic evaluation model, three types of benchmarks such as single item benchmark, individual benchmark and group benchmark were identified and selected, and the professional nursing team was constructed based on the evaluation results. Different from the traditional other-directed evaluation, multi-benchmarking selection and competitive analysis is self-directed evaluation, this method is more conducive to the identification of high-potential and digital nursing talents by intelligent elderly service organizations, and facilitates the formation of professional nursing teams with complementary strengths and cross-fertilization, so as to satisfy the diversified and multi-level needs of the elderly for intelligent elderly services.
Simulating EV Growth Scenarios in Jawa Madura Bali from 2024 to 2029: Balancing Power Grid Supply and Demand while Allocating Subsidies to Maintain Equilibrium
Authors: Tampubolon Joshua Veli , Dalimi Rinaldy
Published: May 2024

To regulate the growth of battery-based electric vehicles (BEVs) in Indonesia and mitigate their impact on the power grid's supply-demand balance, the government can adjust BEV regulations and offer subsidies. The Jawa-Madura-Bali (Jamali) electrical system, being the largest in Indonesia [1], faces the challenge of accommodating the increasing number of vehicles [2]. Subsequent to analyzing Jamali's electricity supply using data from the National Electricity Company (RUPTL) [3], simulations are constructed to model the grid's demand side. Input variables such as Jamali's population, internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicle populations, initial charging time (ICT), slow- and fast-charging ratios, and BEV charge load curves are simulated. Scenario variables like supply capacity growth speed, vehicle population growth speed, subsidy impact on EV attractiveness, ICT, and fast-charging ratio are subsequently simulated for 2024-2029. Four key simulation outcomes are identified: the best-case scenario (Scenario 1776), achieves the highest EV growth with minimal grid disruption, resulting in a 45.38% EV percentage in 2029 and requiring an annual allocation of 492 billion rupiah to match supply with demand. The worst outcome scenario leads to a 23.12% EV percentage, necessitating 47.566 billion rupiah for EV subsidies in 2029. Additionally, the most and least probable scenarios based on literature research are evaluated. This simulation and its results provide insights into EV growth's impact on the grid's balance in one presidential term from 2024 to 2029 [4], aiding the government in planning regulations and subsidies effectively. Improving the simulation's accuracy depends on refining input variables over time.

The results of analysis of the dynamics of change in the values of diagnostic criteria used to recognise the type of defect based on the dissolved gas analysis results for five high-voltage transformers during the development of spark discharges are presented. In the course of the analysis the dynamics of changes in gas concentrations and defect nomograms were considered. There was also analysed the change of the defect type during the spark discharges development by means of diagnostic space determined by gas ratios values according to IEC 60599 and ETRA square, and by means of diagnostic space determined by gas percentage content according to Duval's triangle. According to the results of the analysis it was found that during the development of spark discharges in different transformers the values of diagnostic criteria correspond to the defects of different types, which makes it practically impossible to predict this defect based on the results of previous tests. At the same time the values of both gas ratios and gas percentage as well as defect nomograms obtained by dissolved gas analysis before the moment when gas concentrations exceeded their limit values correspond to the defects of different types, which enables to recognise spark discharges at an early stage. Analysis of correlation relations between values of concentrations and percentages of gases and the operation time as well as between the values of concentrations and percentages of individual gases shows that the development of spark discharges is accompanied not only by the growth of gas concentrations, which is known and widely used, but there is also a significant positive correlation between the values of concentrations of dissolved gases in oil and the operation time as well as between concentrations of individual gases. At the same time, the gases between which a significant correlation has been detected during the development of spark discharges in different transformers differ significantly. The analysis showed that the standards and criteria of IEC 60599, the ETRA square and the Duval triangle do not allow any spark discharges to be detected. The maximum recognition reliability was obtained using the nomogram method. The results show that an early detection of spark discharges is possible, which increases the reliability of nondestructive diagnostics and prolongs the service life of transformers.

Prognostic is central to manufacturing and infrastructure management. The development of new methods for determining the residual resource of equipment is an important task aimed at increasing the efficiency of using industrial electrical complexes. Solving the problem of reliably determining the state of power equipment in the mining and metallurgical complex makes it possible to move from an outdated system of scheduled preventive maintenance to maintenance based on the current state of the unit. Complex technical systems are characterized by complex nonlinear interactions between their constituent elements, complex scenarios of cause-and-effect relationships between hazardous, probabilistic events and processes occurring during their operation. Therefore, methods and tools are being developed to assess and manage wear mechanisms in high-risk industries. The article presents the results related to the development of a methodology for assessing the residual life of industrial equipment. An algorithm for assessing the residual life of power equipment is proposed, based on the comparison of the results of calculation of predicted values of the criteria of the residual life of industrial equipment with the normative values. The methodology uses probabilistic mathematical methods to predict the remaining service life and information collected during audits and equipment monitoring. Along with the classical methods, methods are presented based on the use of the entire potential of the modern element base of microprocessor technology and technologies for the use of artificial neural networks, machine learning, and «big data». Based on the application of probabilistic analysis, a methodology for monitoring the predicted residual life of power equipment has been proposed, for which an algorithm for solving diagnostic problems using neural networks has been developed.

The article analyses software tools for simulation of electric field of insulators. The necessity of solving this problem is dictated by the fact that inaccuracy of simulation software allows stating that the simulation model cannot be improved correctly due to calculation errors in the program itself. Design features of different types of insulators, first of all, the most widespread and used - porcelain and glass insulators, are considered. The change of electric field in a glass and porcelain insulator operating in an AC network without contamination is described. Numerous calculation methods such as boundary element method, finite element method, integral equation method and others have been analysed. It is revealed, that from the point of view of functionality and expediency of application for solution of field problems relevant to electric power industry the finite difference method and finite element method are the most universal ones. The results of insulator electric field modelling using Ansoft Maxwell, CST EM Studio and Elcut software are given. Among Ansys, FEMLAB, Ansoft Maxwell, CST EM Studio, IES Coulomb and Elcut that were analyzed, the software Ansoft Maxwell and CST EM, where the finite element method is implemented, were chosen to solve the given problem. It was found out, which one of the software complies better with the given requirements as to accuracy (by calculation of error of deviation of mathematical modelling and experimental data) and in terms of the method incorporated in the algorithms of the software. Experimental data are compared with simulation results. The possibility of diagnosing insulators by electric field tension parameters has been revealed.

We evaluated the precision and accuracy of multilaboratory measurements for determining freely dissolved concentrations (Cfree) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediment porewater using polydimethylsiloxane and low-density polyethylene polymeric samplers. Four laboratories exposed performance reference compound (PRC) preloaded polymers to actively mixed and static ex situ sediment for approximately one month or more. For Cfree results, intralaboratory precision was high for single compounds; most PAHs and PCBs variability was low. Variability was higher for most hydrophobic PAHs, PCBs, and naphthalene, which were present at low concentrations and required larger PRC-based corrections. Intra- and interlaboratory variability between methods was low. Cfree polymer equilibrium was achieved in approximately one month during active exposures, suggesting using PRCs may be avoided for ex situ analysis using comparable active exposure; however, such testing may not reflect field conditions. Polymer-derived Cfree concentrations for most PCBs and PAHs averaged within a factor of 2 compared with concentrations in isolated porewater; difference factors of up to 6 were observed for naphthalene and the most hydrophobic PAHs and PCBs. Cfree results were similar for academic and private sector laboratories. The accuracy and precision demonstrated for determinating Cfree using polymer sampling are anticipated to increase regulatory acceptance and confidence.

Cryptosporidium spp. are protozoan parasites that cause severe illness in vulnerable human populations. Obtaining pure Cryptosporidium DNA from clinical and environmental samples is challenging because the oocysts shed in contaminated feces are limited in quantity, difficult to purify efficiently, may derive from multiple species, and yield limited DNA (<40 fg/oocyst). Here, we develop and validate a set of 100,000 RNA baits (CryptoCap_100k) based on six human-infecting Cryptosporidium spp. (C. cuniculus, C. hominis, C. meleagridis, C. parvum, C. tyzzeri, and C. viatorum) to enrich Cryptosporidium spp. DNA from a wide array of samples. We demonstrate that CryptoCap_100k increases the percentage of reads mapping to target Cryptosporidium references in a wide variety of scenarios, increasing the depth and breadth of genome coverage, facilitating increased accuracy of detecting and analyzing species within a given sample, while simultaneously decreasing costs, thereby opening new opportunities to understand the complex biology of these important pathogens.

Chronic pain is a multifactorial condition presenting significant diagnostic and prognostic challenges. Biomarkers for the classification and the prediction of chronic pain are therefore critically needed. In this multi-dataset study of over 523,000 participants, we applied machine learning to multi-dimensional biological data from the UK Biobank to identify biomarkers for 35 medical conditions associated with pain (e.g., clinical diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, stroke, gout, etc.) or self-reported chronic pain (e.g., back pain, knee pain, etc). Biomarkers derived from blood immunoassays, brain and bone imaging, and genetics were effective in predicting medical conditions associated with chronic pain (area under the curve (AUC) 0.62–0.87) but not self-reported pain (AUC 0.50–0.62). Among the biomarkers identified was a composite blood-based signature that predicted the onset of various medical conditions approximately nine years in advance (AUC 0.59–0.72). Notably, all biomarkers worked in synergy with psychosocial factors, accurately predicting both medical conditions (AUC 0.69–0.91) and self-report pain (AUC 0.71–0.92). Over a period of 15 years, individuals scoring high on both biomarkers and psychosocial risk factors had twice the cumulative incidence of diagnoses for pain-associated medical conditions (Hazard Ratio (HR): 2.26) compared to individuals scoring high on biomarkers but low on psychosocial risk factors (HR: 1.06). In summary, we identified various biomarkers for chronic pain conditions and showed that their predictive efficacy heavily depended on psychological and social influences. These findings underscore the necessity of adopting a holistic approach in the development of biomarkers to enhance their clinical utility.
