Authors: Subanović Marko , Pirón Abellón Javier , Gauss Arno , Jarrar Mahmud , Schneider André
Published: March 2024

The newly developed 12%Cr steel Super VM12 is characterized by excellent creep rupture strength properties (better than Grade 92) and enhanced steam oxidation resistance of 12%Cr steels such as VM12-SHC. Balanced properties profile of the new steel development in comparison to the existing well-established steels such as Grade 91 and Grade 92, opens opportunities for its application as construction material for components in existing or future high-efficiency power plants. In this study the oxidation behavior of typical 9%Cr steels was compared with the new steel development. The oxide scale morphologies and compositions of different oxide layers as function of temperature and exposure time in steam-containing atmospheres were characterized using light optical metallography, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Creep testing has been carried out in the temperature range between 525°C and 700°C. Selected creep specimens were investigated using the Transmission Electron Microscopy and the Atom Probe Tomography techniques.

Authors: Lopez Barrilao J. , Kuhn B. , Fischer T.
Published: March 2024

More efficient, sustainable, flexible and cost-effective energy technologies are strongly needed to fulfil the new challenges of the German “Energiewende”. For a reduction of consumed primary resources higher efficiency steam cycles with increased operating parameters, pressure and temperature, are mandatory. Hence, advanced materials are needed. The present study focuses on stainless, high strength, ferritic (non-martensitic) steel grades, regarding thermal treatment effects on particle evolution. The heat treatment includes variations, e.g. a two phase pre heat treatment. Effects of the treatment were analysed and connected to creep performance. Experiments at differently heat treated materials show promising improvement of creep performance. These results can be linked to the stability and evolution of strengthening Laves phase particles.
Creep Damage Evaluation for Welded Pipe of Ni Based Alloy HR6W Using Full Thickness Specimen
Authors: Zhang Shengde , Fukutomi Hiroyuki
Published: March 2024

This paper investigates creep rupture and damage behaviors of HR6W weldment using full thickness specimen cut from the circumferentially welded pipe. Creep tests were conducted at 750°C for durations up to 8,000 hours, and damage morphology of weldment during creep was characterized. The applicability of several nondestructive detection methods to the creep damage evaluation was discussed. It was found that full thickness specimen was broken at the base metal and main crack was inclined approximately at 45 degrees to the axial direction of the specimen. Times to creep rupture of full thickness specimen were comparable with those of the standard specimen. In addition, a small crack in base metal on the outer surface was first observed at life fraction of 35% by replication. PT can detect the crack in about half of the life. The crack whose length is longer than 3mm can be detected by UT in latter half of the life.

Published: March 2024

This systematic review aims to demonstrate that coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplementation may be an effective molecule in improving exercise performance and recovering muscle damage, improving antioxidant capacity, and suppressing inflammatory processes. The study covers the literature in PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science and Scopus databases from 2011 to 2023. The final review was conducted on June 6. In the literature analysis, eight keywords (exercise, oxidative stress, CoQ10, muscle damage, inflammation, skeletal muscle, heart muscle, and performance) were employed to investigate the publications. The full texts of 362 full texts of articles were included in this study. These were analyzed according to the PRISMA reporting criteria. In the analysis, one study was conducted with experimental animals, two studies were conducted with male and female participants, and 12 studies were conducted with only male participants. Participants in twelve studies were well-trained. However, two studies were conducted with a sedentary group. In addition, CoQ10 supplementation was present in all studies. CoQ10 supplementation was between 5-60 mg/kg in 4 studies and 100 mg/kg and above in the remaining 10 studies. Antioxidant capacities and inflammation markers were among the parameters of most interest. There were fewer studies on skeletal and cardiac muscle damage and performance markers. CoQ10 supplementation during intense exercise elevates plasma CoQ10 and antioxidant levels while reducing inflammation markers. Additionally, it enhances contractile function in sarcomeres and cardiomyocytes. Nevertheless, additional studies are necessary to comprehensively as certain CoQ10 impact on athletic performance.

Published: March 2024

Linking Immigrants with Nutrition Knowledge (Project LINK) was a service-learning cultural competence training programme completed by undergraduate dietetic students enrolled in the University of Saskatchewan’s (USASK) nutrition and dietetic programme.

This paper evaluates the impact of participation in the programme on students’ cultural competence. We conducted a cross-sectional survey and qualitative analysis of reflective essays of 107 participants of Project LINK from 2011 to 2014. Cumulative logistic regression models assessed the impact of the intervention on students’ cultural competencies. The Akaike information criterion compared models and Spearman correlation coefficient identified possible correlation among pre- and post-intervention data points. Student reflective essays were analyzed by inductive thematic analysis.

All cultural competencies improved comparing pre- and post-participation in Project LINK. Odds of increasing one level of student knowledge were 110 times of that prior to Project LINK. Comparing student competencies before and after Project LINK, the odds of increasing one level of students’ skills were six times greater, five times greater for increasing one level of students’ ability to interact or encounter, and 2.8 times greater for increasing one level of students’ attitude.

The results of this study indicate Project LINK has successfully increased cultural competence and underscores the importance of combining opportunities for practical experience in addition to classroom-based training on cultural competence.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) encompass injuries to muscles, nerves, joints, and connective tissues, affecting the neck, back, and limbs. The polymer automotive industry, particularly in manufacturing automotive components using plastic injection tools, involves workers with diverse postures. Non-ergonomic postures can lead to muscle tension and health issues, emphasizing the importance of safety and ergonomics. This study employs the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ) and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) methods to assess working postures. In the production sector, the average RULA score is 3.8 (31.67%), indicating moderate risk and suggesting further investigation. Conversely, the non-production sector's average RULA score is 3.4 (28.33%), indicating a lower risk but still necessitating changes. CMDQ analysis on 12 respondents reveals posture variation. In the production sector, the average CMDQ score is 2.5 (20.83%), signaling moderate risk and advocating for further investigation. This study lays groundwork for downstream polymer industries to enhance efficiency, quality, and safety.

Producción de territorios virtuales en la educación a distancia en tiempos de pandemia, una propuesta de investigación desde la etnografía virtual
Authors: Trujillo Zozaya Moisés Emmanuel
Published: March 2024

Social confinement as a measure to contain the COVID-19 pandemic forced many educational centers and institutions to make available all possible tools and resources to provide continuity to educational programs. Such measures led to a massive increase in the use of the Internet and with it the unprecedented opening of virtual communication that maintained the continuity of academic life, work, social and economic life. This text focuses on what happened at the Faculty of Humanities, of the Autonomous University of Chiapas, and proposes digital ethnography as a way to study it, based on paying attention to a group of students of the Bachelor's Degree in Communication from several elements such as the study of experiences, relationships, social worlds and the study of localities, as well as some topics to discuss, such as the production of territory, symbolization, the polarization of forces, the rise of virtuality and its legitimation in everyday life.
Emociones retributivas y castigo
Authors:   Instituto Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores de Occidente (ITESO), Torres Ortega Ilsse Carolina
Published: March 2024

This article is a reflection on the role of emotions in legal decisions related to punishment determination. Drawing on a literature that attributes an evaluative-cognitive function to emotions, I will argue that emotions are cues about what we socially value, which is important for substantive and design-level decision making in the criminal justice system. In this sense, I will claim that emotions point to value judgements that are worth bearing in mind, although, to do so, it is necessary to clarify: a) on the one hand, which of them are appropriate and can be a reliable guide to punishment, its incidence and severity; and b) on the other hand, which of them are inappropriate, even if they are, in fact, operating as guides to punitive deliberation. Punishments play a social role that is not only linked to the idea of prevention, but also to reactive attitudes and emotions to the harm that is caused by criminal behavior. This paper is an effort to highlight the potential of the study of emotions in areas of law where they have been relegated and even presented as obstacles in the delivery of justice.

The article highlights the optimization of the rehabilitation protocol for patients with periodontal disease using the direct dental implantation technique. To achieve the goals, 50 patients were selected who had indications for implant placement in the anterior region of the upper and lower jaws, 23 and 27 patients, respectively. The clinical study was conducted according to generally accepted methods. Resorptive and destructive processes in the periapical tissues were studied using cone-beam computed tomography. The state of oral hygiene was determined using the plaque index (PI) (Silness and Löe, 1964). The quality of implant integration and the condition of the alveolar bone were assessed using radiological methods, and the degree of implant stability was determined using an Osstell device. The operation was performed without detachment of the muco-periosteal flap, except when infected periapical tissues were detected. Bone augmentation was performed with the biologically active material "Bio-oss", which was mixed with the patient's autoplasm enriched with growth factors. In most cases, a one-stage implant treatment protocol was implemented. The finished temporary orthopedic structure was fixed the next day. After 6 months of use, the temporary denture was replaced with a permanent structure metal-ceramic bridges with screw fixation. The obtained results of the study indicate the feasibility and high efficiency of using direct implantation to replace dentition defects with fixed structures, including in patients with generalized periodontitis.

"Quality of life is a concept used to assess and measure the level of satisfaction, health, comfort and general well-being of a person or group of people".

The aim of the study was to investigate the QOL indicators of patients with dislocated TMJ articular discs during examination and treatment.

The objective of this study is to determine the impact on the QOL of patients' orthopedic treatment of TMJ disc dislocations.

The number of examined patients was 50, age 25 to 60 years, patients had a dislocated TMJ disk.

In this study, we compared the QOL indicators in patients with dislocated TMJ discs before and after treatment, using the WHO QOL-100 questionnaire.

The results of the study showed that the average score of the perception of overall quality of life and health (G) after treatment improved significantly. The study was divided into spheres: "Physical sphere" fatigue has significantly decreased, the feeling of pain and discomfort has disappeared, sleep has normalized, energy and strength have increased; "Psychological sphere" feelings and thinking have become more positive, concentration, self-esteem and appearance have improved, and anxiety has decreased; "Level of independence" increased daily activity and performance; "Social relationships" improved perception of relationships in society; "Environment" normalized general health of patients; in the "Spiritual sphere" patients became more confident.

Thus, after orthopedic treatment of TMJ articular disc dislocations, QOL of patients improves significantly. The study of QOL in patients in the treatment of TMJ dislocations can be used as a diagnostic criterion for patient recovery.

Directions for future research: the use of QOL research in assessing the quality of care of orthopedic dentists in the treatment of patients with TMJ dislocations.

The paper presents the composition and main characteristics of the velocity database (VDB) for about 900 GNSS stations. The VDB is developed and maintained in Pulkovo observatory for stations which are in the territory approximately coinciding with the East European Craton (EEC). More than 70% of stations belong to Russian GNSS networks. The comparison of the VDB velocities with a similar global database of the Nevada Geodetic Laboratory (NGL, USA) for 171 common stations does not detect any systematic discrepancies between them. This fact allows us to use combined data from both DB for geodynamic studies in the EEC region. The kinematic parameters of rotation of some structural blocks of the EEC have been determined. The boundaries of these blocks varied within several degrees, and within these boundaries, stations were selected according to the duration of observations to minimize errors in the least squares solution.

Authors:   Central Astronomical Observatory at Pulkovo of RAS, Malkin Z.M.
Published: March 2024

The prediction of the Earth’s rotation parameters, including the coordinates of the celestial pole (precession-nutation angles), is necessary for many practical applications. This work is devoted to the study of changes in the accuracy of the prediction of precession-nutation angles over time over the past 16 years. This study was conducted on the basis of real predictions computed in 2007–2022 at the U.S. Naval Observatory, which serves as the Center of Rapid Service and Predictions of the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS), and at the Pulkovo Observatory. As a result, it turned out that the accuracy of IERS predictions has improved significantly over time, whereas there is no obvious improvement in the accuracy of predictions of the Pulkovo Observatory. For both analysis centers, there is a noticeable decrease in the dependence of prediction errors on its length. It can also be concluded that the predictions of the Pulkovo predictions are more accurate.

Published: March 2024

Niniejsze opracowanie odnosi się do problemu ochrony prawnej przedmiotów kultu religijnego należących do kościelnej osoby prawnej w przypadku wszczęcia względem niej postępowania egzekucyjnego albo postępowania upadłościowego. W tekście postawiono tezę, że tzw. mienie kościelne (mienie należące do kościelnych osób prawnych) może podlegać likwidacji w ramach postępowania egzekucyjnego albo postępowania upadłościowego. Sformułowano też wniosek de lege ferenda sprowadzający się do postulatu wprowadzenia w takiej sytuacji prawa pierwokupu dla innych kościelnych osób prawnych. W odniesieniu do mienia sakralnego wskazano na istniejący immunitet egzekucyjny w przepisach o postępowaniu egzekucyjnym w administracji. W przypadku egzekucji sądowej powołano się na poglądy doktrynalne wskazujące na immunitet egzekucyjny przynależny kościelnym osobom prawnym. Formułując argumenty uzasadniające ten immunitet, dostrzeżono również niedoskonałość regulacji normatywnej. Jednocześnie wskazano na okoliczność, że składniki mienia, które nie podlegają egzekucji, nie wchodzą do masy upadłości.

Povijesno-kulturni detalji zagrebačke prvostolnice
oštećeni u potresu 22. ožujka 2020. godine

Published: March 2024

U radu se analiziraju, kroz povijesno-kulturni pregled, detalji Zagrebačke katedrale oštećeni u potresu 22. ožujka 2020. godine. Katedrala je građena da bi svojom visinom fascinirala mnogobrojne vjernike i obične znatiželjnike. Zagrebačka katedrala smatra se simbolom Hrvatskog naroda, najveća je hrvatska sakralna građevina i jedan od najvrjednijih spomenika hrvatske kulturne baštine. Prva je i najznačajnija gotička građevina Hrvatske, i najmonumentalnija je gotička sakralna građevina jugoistočno od Alpa. Na pročelju među mnogobrojnom kamenom čipkom, kipovima i grbovima nalaze se i oznake alfe i omege, početka i svršetka. Na samom početku prema pečatnjaku Prvostolnog kaptola zagrebačkog iz 13. i 14. stoljeća katedrala je imala dva tornja. Tijekom povijesti je više puta stradavala. Nisu je mimoišle razne nedaće, ratovi, požari i potresi. Svakom nepogodom izgubila je dio svog sjaja i jedan, sjeverni, toranj. Nakon obnove uslijed Velikog potresa koji je pogodio Zagreb početkom studenog 1880. godine zadobila je neogotički izgled s dva vitka zvonika. Uslijed potresa 2020. godine ponovno je stradala. Vrhovi zvonika su skraćeni, čime je katedrala izgubila ''titulu'' najviše crkve u ovom dijelu Europe. Mnogi njeni zidovi su napukli, značajni umjetnički elementi oštećeni, dijelovi kipova i slika su demontirani i deponirani, konzervirani ili drvenim daskama prekriveni. Sveta euharistija se kao i prije 140 godina održava u župnoj crkvi sv. Marije na Dolcu. Ali na kraju, kada se ponovno otvori kao najpoznatiji spomenik kulture grada Zagreba, katedrala će opet postati mjesto posjeta stotina tisuća vjernika i turista, mjesto molitve i mjesto hodočašća na grob bl.

Vetrinizzazione sociale 2.0 nella società spettacolarizzata : dalla celebrificazione dell’immagine alla dipendenza digitale
Authors: Borile Simone
Published: March 2024

Abstract: This work aims to identify some mechanisms of online socialisation among ado-lescents and to outline the cognitive processes involved in the formalisation of antisocial and deviant behaviours. Through a study of digital communities, communication style and virtual relationships, significant considerations can be initiated regarding understanding the phenomena of perceptive construction and neutralisation arising from the violent cul-ture on the internet, by assessing the possible consequence of the formation of groups and communities on the web. Through a conception of cyberspace as a laboratory to experiment with different identities, the inhibitory factors present in personal relationships tend to be reduced in young Internet users, and the social, perceptual and cognitive modalities involved in implementing violent acts are strongly influenced by the perceived protection of an anonymisation and encryp-tion control system. The construction of a social identity through which young people de-velop and adapt virtual behavioural models of group violence, often acquiescent and struc-tured within a hierarchical and apical organization and structure, could contribute to the establishment of a consolidated and structured violent cultural cognitive heritage, with pos-sible criminal behavioural excesses.

OBJECTIVE: This study involved an analysis of preoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) incidence and changes in coagulation function among elderly patients suffering from hip fractures. The objective was to offer guidance on the prevention and management of preoperative DVT in the lower extremities of elderly individuals with hip fractures. METHODS: A total of 282 elderly individuals with a hip fracture were enrolled and divided into two groups based on the location of the fracture: femoral intertrochanteric fracture (FIF, 161 individuals) and femoral neck fracture (FNF, 121 individuals). The two groups were compared with respect to baseline characteristics, including gender, age, and comorbid chronic diseases. Furthermore, the analysis encompassed the incidence of preoperative DVT in both lower extremities, along with seven coagulation parameters and platelet count before the surgical procedure. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in baseline information between the two groups. The incidence of preoperative DVT in the FIF group was higher than that in the FNF group, along with a significantly higher percentage of patients exhibiting increased levels of D-dimer and fibrinogen/fibrin degradation products (FDPs). CONCLUSION: Preoperative hypercoagulability and a greater prevalence of DVT were observed in elderly individuals with FIF compared to individuals with FNF. This indicates that clinicians should pay attention to elderly patients with FIFs, especially those with increased D-dimer and FDP levels.

Authors: Terentyeva Yulia , Melnikov Boris
Published: March 2024

The relevance of the subject area under consideration is due to the need to effectively solve discrete optimization problems that arise in the process of analyzing high-dimensional communication networks. Namely, the article examines decision-making procedures in the presence of several predictor functions, i.e. special very quickly executing auxiliary functions that a priori evaluate the effectiveness of choosing a separating element for some iterative algorithm. Cases of one, two or three predictors are considered, as well as various schemes of so-called voting, that is, choosing one predictor from those proposed with an assessment of the probability of making the right decision. The qualitative result of the research is presented with the development of recommendations for the use of predictors. This approach can be extended to situations not directly related to discrete optimization algorithms. In particular, the results obtained can be used in organizing the obtaining of an expert opinion in the presence of one, two or three experts who, in general, have different qualifications, and possible schemes for their decision-making.

Authors: Hua Chunsheng , Liu Guangrui , Zhang Wenqian , Zhang Hao
Published: March 2024

In visual SLAM algorithms, the assumption of scene rigidity serves as the foundation for algorithm operation. However, this assumption restricts the use of most visual SLAM systems in densely populated or vehicle-intensive environments, limiting their application in scenarios involving service robots or autonomous driving. In this article, we introduce IVI-SLAM, which is a visual SLAM system based on DynaSLAM. IVI-SLAM extends DynaSLAM by adding background restoration capabilities for both monocular and stereo modes, along with a method for depth recovery. We detect dynamic objects by using deep learning techniques and restore the background occluded by these dynamic objects by iterative training of image inpainting models. Subsequently, we utilize a depth recovery approach to restore the depth values in the affected region. We evaluate our system on publicly available monocular and stereo datasets, achieving promising results.
Stable Skyline Path Query Over Edge-Labeled Temporal Graphs

In recent years, there has been a surge in the development of path query-based applications, leading to significant research efforts dedicated to addressing the path query problem. Previous studies have primarily focused on either path queries in temporal graphs or skyline path queries in static graphs, often overlooking the critical temporal aspect. Moreover, edge-labeled temporal graphs, frequently encountered in real-world scenarios such as traffic networks with labels like “expressway” or “provincial road,” have not been adequately considered in the context of skyline path queries that account for path stability amidst graph updates. However, in this paper, we introduce a novel approach for addressing the stability of skyline path queries in the context of edge-labeled temporal graphs. To tackle this challenge, we first introduce a globally updated Main Point (MP) index. Building upon this index, we propose a partition-based method to facilitate stable skyline path queries in temporal graphs. Our extensive experimental evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the algorithm we present.

Published: March 2024

The transformer oil temperature is an important indicator that directly reflects the operational lifespan and load capacity of a transformer. Analyzing and predicting transformer oil temperature data is of significant importance in understanding the operational status and ensuring the safety of transformers. However, transformer oil temperature data belong to long sequential time series, and traditional time prediction models often encounter issues such as slow speed and convergence difficulties. Therefore, this paper proposes a transformer oil temperature prediction method based on the informer model, which enables the model to predict long sequential time series of oil temperature data. The effectiveness and accuracy of the model’s predictions are demonstrated through real transformer oil temperature data.

Published: March 2024

This study investigates the feasibility and efficacy of decoding lower limb movement speed through the examination of differences between motor imagery and relaxation states. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals are utilized as the input data source, and commonly used machine learning approaches are employed for classifying imagined lower limb movement speed. Healthy individuals without lower limb motor impairments participate in the experiment, and their EEG signals are recorded using Emotive’s 32-channel gel electrode EEG cap EPOC FLEX. Preprocessing and feature extraction techniques are applied to the collected EEG data to develop a specialized classification model. Results indicate significant differences in EEG signals between imagined lower limb movement speed and relaxation states. Ten-fold cross-validation confirms the reliability and accuracy of the classification model, achieving above-chance classification accuracies. The findings provide valuable insights for the development of brain-computer interface systems, rehabilitation therapies, and applications related to lower limb movement. This study establishes a foundation for further exploration in decoding lower limb movement speed.

Authors: Li Wei , Yang Li-xing , Bi Xiao-yan , Yang Juan
Published: March 2024

In this study, the behavioral and electrophysiological effects of pride emotion on cognitive flexibility were investigated by digit value (more vs. less than 5) and digit parity (odd vs. even) task-switching paradigm. The behavioral results showed that task switching elicited longer response times and lower accuracy than task repetition. Secondly, the pride group showed greater RT switch costs. The event-related potential (ERP) results showed a larger P3 amplitude in task-switching than in repeat trials, indicating that task switching induced a significant effect. In addition, the P3 difference wave of the pride group was significantly smaller than that of the neutral emotion group, while there was no significant difference in the N2 difference wave. These results indicate that pride inhibits the switching ability, which may be related to later decision-making tasks. This study explores the effects of pride on cognitive flexibility and provides a theoretical foundation for further management of students’ pride emotions.

Learning traffic as videos: A spatio-temporal VAE approach to periodic traffic raster data imputation
Authors: Zhang Shuo , Hu Xingbang , Zhang Wenbo , Chen Jinyi , Huang Hejiao
Published: March 2024

For modern Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), data missing during traffic raster acquisition can be inevitable because of the loop detector malfunction or signal interference. Nevertheless, missing data imputation is meaningful due to the periodic spatio-temporal characteristics and individual randomness of traffic raster data. In this paper, traffic raster data collected from all spatial regions at each time interval are considered as a multiple channel image. Accordingly, the traffic raster data over a period of time can be regarded as video, on which an unsupervised generative neural network called MSST-VAE (Multiple Streams Spatial Temporal-VAE) is proposed for traffic raster data imputation, and this model can even robustly performs at varied missing rates while many other approaches fail to conduct. Two major innovations can be summarized in MSSTVAE: Firstly, it uses multiple periodic streams of Variational Auto-Encoders (VAEs) with Sylvester Normalizing Flows (SNFs), which shows strong generalization ability. Secondly, after the traffic raster data are transferred into videos, an ECB (Extraction-and-Calibration Block) consisting of dilated P3D gated convolution and multi-horizon attention mechanism is employed to learn global-local-granularity spatial features and long-short-term temporal features. Extensive experiments on three real traffic flow datasets validate that MSST-VAE outperforms other classical traffic imputation models with the least imputation error.
