Authors: Al Abri Mahmood A. , Al-Harmeli Ahmed , Al-Habsi Mahmoud , Jaju Deepali
Published: November 2020

Objectives: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) compliance of > 4 hours per night has been considered acceptable to achieve clinical improvements in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, the factors determining CPAP adherence are unclear. This study aims to address the issue of acceptance and adherence to CPAP treatment in the Omani population and to determine the factors affecting adherence to CPAP. Methods: This retrospective study included adult OSA patients who underwent polysomnography between January 2008 and December 2014 (n = 3046). Demographic information, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), apnea/hypopnea index (AHI), and desaturation events were collected from the sleep laboratory records. Subjects were grouped as CPAP users and CPAP non-users. CPAP users were divided into compliers (> 4 hours/night) and non-compliers (< 4 hours/night). Student’s t-test was used to find differences in CPAP users and non-users, compliers, and gender differences in CPAP users. The association of CPAP compliers and non-compliers with age, gender, AHI, ESS, and comorbidities were assessed using the chi-square test. Results: Out of the 90.0% patients advised CPAP treatment, 34.7% came for regular CPAP follow-up. Total CPAP compliers were 59.3% (n = 274). The CPAP users had higher age, high ESS, baseline AHI, and more oxygen desaturation events than CPAP non-users (p < 0.010). Among the CPAP users, females were significantly older than males and had more oxygen desaturation events. CPAP compliers had significantly higher baseline AHI and more oxygen desaturation events. There was no association between CPAP compliance and age, gender, AHI, ESS, or comorbidities. Conclusions: CPAP users and compilers have severe OSA. CPAP acceptance and adherence are suboptimal and could not be predicted by age, gender, AHI, ESS, or comorbidities.

Authors: Dyrcz Jakub , Pashkevich Anton
Published: November 2020

The rapid development of the air transport market in recent years, together with positive trends, brings also an amount of organizational problems related to, for example, strong congestion of airspace, lack of slots in large airports, etc. Such challenges point out the need to use every available kilo of aircraft load capacity. In such situation, an important component in the cargo transport gets to be the available load space of aircrafts, which operate on the regular airlines. In this article, the usage of such load space was analyzed. The research was done based on the data about baggage area filling of short- and medium-distance aircrafts, which operate from the selected Polish airport. This analysis shows the extent how aircrafts use their transport capacity. Also it specifies the possibilities to use these aerial vehicles in cargo transportations under the conditions of real payload depending on their types as well as under the conditions, which must be met by operating from the selected airport.

Authors: Koziak Seweryn , Melnik Rafał , Firlik Bartosz
Published: November 2020

One of the main parameters characterizing properties of railway track is vertical stiffness. Provision of its appropriate value is crucial from the point of view of dynamic interactions occurring in a wheel-rail contact, what in turn translates into vehicle running behaviour and safety, passenger comfort, as well as further degradation of track condition. Track stiffness measurement is a cumbersome process requiring expensive equipment and can be carried out only if the line is closed. The following research is intended to estimate tram track vertical stiffness by means of vision method which can be performed during regular tram operation. Track deflections of tram line in the city of Poznan were carried out using high-speed camera and further used for vertical stiffness estimation.
Transport susceptibility as a selection criterion for perishable cargo transport technology
Authors: Leleń Paweł , Wasiak Mariusz
Published: November 2020

Perishable products require special conditions during storage and transport. This is mainly due to their low transport susceptibility, including handling and storage. Transport susceptibility of cargoes is conditioned by many physical and chemical features such as: acceptable range of air temperature and humidity, negative impact on other loads, sensitivity to impacts and shocks, and longevity of transport, absorption and secretion of odours, secretion of substance, as well as sensitivity to individual substances, ease of scattering and many more. A number of characteristics of perishable cargo important for their transport susceptibility have been identified and included in the criteria for selection of transport technology. In addition, four main groups of perishable cargoes was listed, for which a different set of criteria assessing their transport susceptibility should be considered. The proposed criteria for selection of transport technology due to the cargoes transport susceptibility are a guarantee of correct selection of transport technology. Transport susceptibility should be particularly taken into account when selecting transport technology, especially for perishable cargoes. In order to guarantee safety of these loads, if any of safety criteria is not met, such solution must be classified as inadmissible. Correct implementation of individual elements of transport susceptibility of cargoes in many cases may help to avoid damage of cargo during transport. On the other hand, a smaller percentage of spoiled loads during transport leads to increased efficiency of transports, safety of transported goods and health safety of potential consumers.
Institutional aspects of military engagement in the process of the European air traffic management system modernisation
Authors: Markiewicz Telesfor Marek
Published: November 2020

At the beginning of the 21st century, the European Union (EU) started work to modernise air traffic management systems and create a pan-European airspace independent of national borders. The initiated SES and SESAR programmes aim to better meet the forecasted needs of the air transport sector in the areas of safety, capacity, economic efficiency and environmental protection. These programmes are not directly applicable to military operations and training, but their implementation has a significant impact on the technical and operational issues of military aviation and the defence budgets of the EU Member States and NATO. Therefore, it is necessary to involve military authorities and experts at the earliest possible stage in all legislative and technological projects carried out under the SES initiative and the SESAR programme. The political views and decisions of allied and national military authorities regarding the Single European Sky are shaped by the institutional context in which they take place. This article reviews the participation of NATO and the European Defence Agency (EDA), the main organisations representing the military side in both programmes, and evaluates their contribution to the successful completion of the European air traffic management system reform projects.

Authors: Pashkevich Anton , Dyrcz Jakub
Published: November 2020

The number of passengers using airport services increases constantly. One of the most important factors driving the Polish air transport market is the development of low-cost carriers, which have currently a large market share, especially it concerns regional airports. Also it should be remembered that, as Poland started to be a member of the European Union, the air traffic has grown rapidly. It resulted in numerous investments in infrastructure, such as the creation of modem passenger terminals, access roads, parking lots, runways, aprons and modern systems navigation. At present, the system of civil airports in Poland consists of 15 units, which are competing with each other to get more passengers. Therefore, the purpose of the presented study was to analyze the preferences and expectations of passengers of the International Airport Kraków in relation to the airport itself as a main origin/ final destination point of travel by air transport and in relation to airlines operating at this airport. This analysis was based on factors, which determine passengers’ choice.

Wheelsets’ self-lubricating coatings in terms of rail vehicle dynamic properties
Authors: Chudzikiewicz Andrzej , Melnik Rafał , Góra Ignacy
Published: November 2020

Exploitation of railway vehicles, especially in the case of goods transport, on lines with small-radius curves, results in accelerated wear of wheel profiles and rails in curves. This results in increased operating costs and can lead to derailments on such the lines. One of the ways to reduce these negative effects and to improve the wheel-rail interaction in sharp curves is to cover the surface of the wheel flange with coatings of materials with self-lubricating properties. Covering the wheel flange surface with a suitable coating reduces friction coefficient in case of flange-rail head interaction. However, there is a question about the effect of the self-lubricating layer on the safety of the vehicle. The paper presents the results of simulation analysis of dynamic behavior of a two-axial coal wagon with a modeled self-lubricating coating and its effect on wheel wear.

Modelling of exploitation process of the railway traffic control device
Authors: Kornaszewski Mieczysław
Published: November 2020

The basic purpose of railway traffic control devices is to ensure a high level of safety of moving trains on the railway network. The railway traffic control devices often work in difficult environmental conditions and are exposed to external interference. These circumstances require continuous analysis of the state of the railway traffic control system. With time, the system's technical condition deteriorates. When its technical condition is not satisfactory it is necessary to operate it and renew its state of use. The rational implementation of exploitation tasks of the railway traffic control system allows the introduction of mathematical modeling methods into exploitation tests. Using the mathematical model of the exploitation process of the railway traffic control system, it is possible to forecast e.g. reliability indicators of its individual objects. Knowledge of exploitation parameters should be used in making decisions in the process of managing the exploitation of the railway traffic control devices.

Dynamic tests of vehicles equipped with run-flat wheels
Authors: Mieteń Marcin , Grzesiak Jerzy , Walkiewicz Marcin
Published: November 2020

The article also tackles topics related to dynamic testing of vehicles equipped with massive wheel inserts. The subject matter was taken due to the modernization of the Polish Armed Forces. The majority of vehicles obtained for the army are equipped with wheels with massive inserts. With the introduction of this solution to the army, there was a need to check the correctness of the operation of wheels with massive inserts. The Military Vehicles Research Laboratory of the Institute of Armoured and Automotive Technology developed a research method, which the authors presented in the following article. Dynamic testing is carried out in a practical way by unsealing the tire. The results of dynamic tests carried out on a selected military special vehicle equipped with wheels with massive inserts, which allow the vehicle to move after the tire is unsealed, were also presented. This condition can be caused by various situations, such as: passing the vehicle through the spike strip or the shooting through the tire. Special vehicles, both military and police, are highly vulnerable to the above events and must be able to evacuate from the place of danger even in the case of an unsealed tire.
The impact of strong electromagnetic pulses generated in a targeted manner on the process of operation of electronic devices and systems
Authors: Paś Jacek
Published: November 2020

The article presents the basic issues related to the influence of electromagnetic interference on electronic devices used in transport telematics systems. Classification methods for electronic devices and systems in the aspect of interference of strong high frequency (HF) electromagnetic pulses depend on technical parameters of the interfering signals. Generated, strong electromagnetic pulses in this frequency range may be generated purposefully - as intended signals, e.g. to disable electronic devices and systems used in vast transportation areas. Currently, designers and users of electronic devices and systems do not include the possibility of accumulated interference of strong electromagnetic pulses during operation. Current standard and acts do not provide any requirements determining e.g. resistance and susceptibility to high frequency electromagnetic waves. The author recommends including the selected technical solutions and safety indices in operation. Results and calculations presented in the paper prove that it is possible to defend against the threat upon occurrence of strong electromagnetic pulses, already during the design stage of devices and systems.

In recent years, nanotechnology has revolutionized global healthcare and has been predicted to exert a remarkable effect on clinical medicine. In this context, the clinical use of nanomaterials for cancer diagnosis, fertility preservation, and the management of infertility and other pathologies linked to pubertal development, menopause, sexually transmitted infections, and HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) has substantial promise to fill the existing lacunae in reproductive healthcare. Of late, a number of clinical trials involving the use of nanoparticles for the early detection of reproductive tract infections and cancers, targeted drug delivery, and cellular therapeutics have been conducted. However, most of these trials of nanoengineering are still at a nascent stage, and better synergy between pharmaceutics, chemistry, and cutting-edge molecular sciences is needed for effective translation of these interventions from bench to bedside. To bridge the gap between translational outcome and product development, strategic partnerships with the insight and ability to anticipate challenges, as well as an in-depth understanding of the molecular pathways involved, are highly essential. Such amalgamations would overcome the regulatory gauntlet and technical hurdles, thereby facilitating the effective clinical translation of these nano-based tools and technologies. The present review comprehensively focuses on emerging applications of nanotechnology, which holds enormous promise for improved therapeutics and early diagnosis of various human reproductive tract diseases and conditions.

Background: Social network sites (SNS) addiction has recently been a major concern and a common problem worldwide that makes it essential to examine the specifications of users and identify antecedents of it. Objectives: This study aimed at examining the relationship between attachment style and social media addiction with the mediating role of personality traits. Patients and Methods: In this research, the sample population was comprised of all of the students of universities in Tehran, Iran, during the academic year of 2018 - 2019. The participants (n = 241) were selected from universities in Tehran using the conventional method. The data were collected using measure of attachment qualities (MAQ), Social Media Disorder scale (SMDS), and Cloninger’s Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), and then the data were analyzed using the chi-square, correlation coefficient, and structural modeling tests by SPSS and LISREL software. Results: The results showed there is a significant relationship between the worry-ambivalent (r = 0.308, P < 0.05) and the disorganize-ambivalent (r = 0.322, P < 0.05) (attachment styles) and the SNS addiction. Moreover, the structural model showed that among attachment styles, the ambivalence-disorganize attachment could mediate the social network addiction based on the character dimension of self-directedness (CFI: 0.94, NFI: 0.92, RMSEA: 0.09). Conclusions: The character dimension of self-directedness can reduce the adverse effects of insecure attachment and thus reduce the risk of addiction to SNS.

Background: Bambusa vulgaris (bamboo) is a common plant in tropical regions of the world, with multiple biological activities. Cereal steep liquors have been identified to act against some fecal bacteria. Given the increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance coupled with the cost of antibiotics, there is a need for mitigation efforts and the shift by locals to herbal products. Methods: The factorial study design was employed. Bamboo leaves were washed, dried, milled, and soxhlet extracted for 16 h using the steep fermented liquor from Zea mays subsp. mays as the solvent. Rotary evaporated extracts of various weights were used to carry out sensitivity and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) tests. Oral acute toxicity was determined. The in vivo assay was used to determine the effective dosage for the treatment of infected mice while distilled water and ciprofloxacin served as negative and positive controls, respectively. Results: The average inhibition zone diameters in the sensitivity test at 25, 50, and 100 mg/mL concentrations were 16.20 ± 0.06 mm, 19.10 ± 0.02 mm, and 22.10 ± 0.05 mm, respectively, while the MIC against Salmonella typhi was 25 mg/mL. The extract was found to be safe at up to 5000 mg/kg dose, which means that the LD50 was ≥ 3808 mg/kg. The Widal test revealed that mice responded to treatment with the extract at different concentrations (50, 100, and 200 mg/mL) as the number of days increased. The in vivo assay on day 14 showed the bactericidal property at a dosage of 200 mg/mL. Conclusions: Bamboo leaves extract in steep liquor from fermented yellow maize displayed excellent pharmacological activity against the pathogenic organism of typhoid fever with a potential source of active agents.

: Self-medication is a serious health problem in Iran. In this quasi-experimental study with a control group, four healthcare facilities were selected and divided into intervention and control groups. Based on the health files of women in healthcare facilities, 192 women were selected randomly and completed a self-reported questionnaire to measure Health Belief Model constructs and self-medication. After analyzing the data, perceived susceptibility was found as the main predictive factor for self-medication, and an intervention was developed to increase it. The intervention consisted of lectures and group discussions, along with distributing pamphlets and sending short messages for four weeks. Three months later, the data was collected again and analyzed. Perceived susceptibility was improved, and self-reported behavior was reduced significantly in intervention groups compared to the control groups.
