Mediatization of the parliamentary election campaign. The case of national democracy in 1922
Authors: Maj Ewa
Published: May 2024

National Democracy actively participated in the mediatization of the electoral campaign in 1922. The effects of the media mediation process in learning about the world, influencing the world view of individuals and social groups, and creating an image of social reality were measurable because they brought political success in the form of obtaining parliamentary and senatorial seats in the parliament of the first term. To characterise the components of the mediatization of political activities, a case study article was proposed, considering knowledge about National Democracy, its members participating in the process of disseminating knowledge about politics through the media, and about the techniques used to influence recipients. Attention was paid to the variety of directions of propaganda work, to the involvement of brochure and periodical publishers, to the variety of election forms that were intended to promote the national political program, and, above all, to the ways of obtaining votes from the electorate from particular social groups limited by age, gender or profession. The conclusions include the use of communication competences of National Democracy leaders and members. The leadership of the national formation used three types of narrative: factual, sensational, and humorous, stimulating the effect.

Augmented reality (AR) provides possibilities from simple displays to tools improving service in the production process. It has found justification in the field of crisis/critical situation management and also in the commercial sphere. The technologies of the digital world together with AR are directed towards the user environment and the operation of technical devices does not deal with the essence of the problem. Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations (CHS) are considered to be sources of electromagnetic fields, as are also inverters in EVs. Until now, there are standards only for stable sources, which EV is not. There are several standards for CHS, from guidelines to regulations in a specific country. The magnetic field (MF), as a component of the electromagnetic field, carries information about the state of the CHS and the environment around the EV during its charging. Information provided to the operator about the state of the environment around him when charging EV is currently at a minimal level. There is no application yet that provides a display of MF information for the operator. AR in the form of the AR Infinity platform provides such an option. The article points out the way of creating information tools using simple devices in an AR environment with a mobile phone application.

This article explores the use of shape memory alloy (SMA) materials in the creation of robot effectors. Specifically, we focus on the design and implementation of a gripper powered by nitinol springs. Nitinol, an alloy of nickel and titanium, can return to a pre-set shape when heated - a phenomenon known as the shape memory effect - which we utilize to control the gripper. The article showcases the design, construction, and testing of the gripper, including its speed and reliability in grasping different objects. Our findings indicate that the gripper was reliable solution, but further research is necessary to optimize its functions and control for more efficient results in practical applications.

In this article, the authors refer to the measurement of acoustic emission, where they found that this methodology can determine the combustion characteristics in the combustion chamber of the engine and thus it is possible to confirm a better combustion process and overall reduction of engine noise after decarbonization. The formation of diesel exhaust soot is also supported by the authors' paper, in which they describe how such soot is formed and what effect the addition of special mixtures to the combustion process has on the formation of such carbon deposits. The article uses BG technologies for deep engine decarbonization, including intake and exhaust parts. This technology is one of many on the market, but it was only with this technology that the authors managed to achieve the relevant results that this article will introduce to. For the test, we selected vehicles that had a problem to pass at the emission control.

Steel wire ropes are among the essential technical elements widely used in many industries. The impeccable condition of these elements has a major impact on the safety of entire facilities where they are applied, be it construction, mining, agriculture, transport, engineering or another area. This article focuses on comparing two non-destructive methods designed to study the internal defects of steel wire ropes. They are defectoscopes with different principles of operation, namely the MID-3 magnetic defectoscope with both excitation and detection of the magnetic field by means of induction coils, and the REMA defectoscope with Hall sensors. Four reference samples of steel wire ropes used in underground mines with well-defined defects corresponding to damage due to fatigue of the wire rope material were created for the study. Based on the experiments performed, it was confirmed that defectoscopes working on the principle of Hall sensors can detect metal cross section loss adequately.

Authors: Das Bipul K. , Ghosh Shantasree , Khound Murchana , Kaushik Jaya S.
Published: May 2024

Intravenous methylprednisolone is an important therapeutic modality in many conditions, owing to their anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties. Along with other side-effects of corticosteroids, cardiovascular side-effects are also seen in varying degree in children. Sinus bradycardia is reported uncommonly in children following high dose intravenous methylprednisolone. We report two paediatric cases without any underlying cardiac problems with asymptomatic bradycardia following high dose intravenous methylprednisolone. Heart rate reduction was seen from 30-40% compared to the baseline heart rate, which returned to its normal value after 24-36 hours of stoppage of the offending drug. A high index of suspicion along with strict cardiovascular monitoring is necessary in patients receiving high dose of methylprednisolone.
ENSINO DE HISTÓRIA E INTERDISCIPLINARIDADE
Authors: Vieira Martha Victor
Published: May 2024

Este artigo analisa a escrita e o ensino da História no Brasil com a finalidade de demonstrar como a perspectiva interdisciplinar acompanha toda a trajetória dessa disciplina, no que se refere às questões epistemológicas. Esse diálogo com outras disciplinas, porém, não repercute devidamente na educação básica, apesar das diretrizes curriculares, produzidas nos últimos vinte anos, estimularem a prática da interdisciplinaridade na sala de aula. As possíveis razões dessa clivagem entre a dimensão normativa e teórica em relação à prática resvalam na necessidade de repensar os cursos de formação dos professores, que precisam treinar profissionais com competências didáticas e que estejam atentos às demandas da sociedade atual.
COOPERAÇÃO “BI-REGIONAL”: ANALISANDO AS RELAÇÕES ENTRE MERCOSUL E UNIÃO EUROPEIA
Authors: Russo Eduardo
Published: May 2024

The present paper aims to analyze the relationship between two of the main important economic blocks nowadays, MERCOSUR and the European Union, since their creations until the present moment, having as a special point of interest for us the 1990s when the two continents began their relations as economic blocs. For the development of this study we used a system of scientific methodology based on qualitative analysis of official documents and scientific articles on the topic of study, being central for our understanding the issue of conjuncture factor as a major influence on the progress of the negotiations so far. For we endorse this study, we used as a reference point the traditional theories of international relations, which have arisen in a parallel period to international economic blocs, being they the Liberalism, Realism, the International Society or English School, and the more contemporary, the International Political Economy. In this way, this study intends to contribute to the areas of international relations, political science and management, through the understanding that this initiative of integration between two continents that are already living a process of regional integration, through the creation of a birregional free trade zone, is observed as an unprecedented movement, and once achieved is capable of changing the whole dynamic of both trade and international policy in the world.
“AUTOPERDOE-SE” : O ESPAÇO PÚBLICO DO PERDÃO EM HANNAH ARENDT
Authors: Magalhães Bianca Soares , Martins Filho José Reinaldo Felipe
Published: May 2024

A humanidade sempre busca no outro pontos de intersecção e de diferença para afirmar sua identidade. A globalização e o avanço do capitalismo multiplicaram e comercializaram fontes de identidades. Esta que outrora era alicerçada na nacionalidade, gênero, idioma etc., atualmente é fluida e de afastamento do outro. Na ausência do outro, a humanidade regressa ao eu. Assim, conceitos que são estruturados a partir de um sentido admitido socialmente, como o perdão, são abolidos junto à humanidade e à máxima de querer viver bem. Aqui um sentido “identitário” de perdão via regresso ao eu: o “autoperdão”. A proposta é desnudar este fenômeno sociopolítico, sob revisão das lentes teóricas de Hannah Arendt e do diálogo com alguns autores da antropologia e da sociologia contemporâneas. Depara-se com um possível adoecimento social estruturado e estruturante no fenômeno do “autoperdão”.

Análisis de la Colombia del posacuerdo con las FARC: una revisión conceptual desde la seguridad multidimensional
Authors: Pinedo Herrera Carlos Antonio , Molina Ana Milena , Rojas Alexánder
Published: May 2024

La suscripción del Acuerdo de paz, en el año 2016, entre el Estado colombiano en cabeza del presidente Juan Manuel Santos y la guerrilla de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia-Ejército del Pueblo (FARC-EP), plantea un gran desafío para el Estado, teniendo en cuenta las amenazas tradicionales y las nuevas que surgen al suscribirse este Acuerdo con el actor del conflicto que mayor capacidad de fuego y cantidad de hombres-arma poseía en sus filas para ejercer control territorial y explotar las rentas ilegales. Estas perspectivas se abordarán a partir del concepto de la seguridad multidimensional, que se centra en el ser humano, por tal razón, las amenazas emergentes tienen una característica relacionada con su proveniencia de distintos ámbitos sociales; por tal motivo, involucra elementos asociados con lo ambiental, lo fronterizo y la inteligencia nacional, pero así mismo con la seguridad urbana, la protesta social, la justicia y sus dimensiones, lo mismo que las afectaciones a los pueblos indígenas, entre otros, es decir, amplía el espectro del análisis conceptual y estratégico de la seguridad. El libro Análisis de la Colombia del posacuerdo con las FARC: una revisión conceptual desde la seguridad multidimensional expone de manera profunda lo siguiente en tres partes: la primera es una revisión de la conceptualización de la seguridad multidimensional para el caso colombiano, que se analiza en tres capítulos iniciales, los cuales centran al lector en la construcción del concepto y en cómo lo ven sus autores en Colombia. En la segunda se revisan las políticas públicas y su impacto en el posacuerdo, análisis que se extiende en cinco capítulos. La tercera cierra con el análisis de la percepción de la seguridad en el posconflicto desde el escenario de las fronteras, el cual consta de tres capítulos. Este libro invita a construir una visión periférica de la seguridad multidimensional desde la realidad del concepto, y aproxima la construcción de un escenario posible con la transformación de un actor que durante más de seis décadas puso en vilo la seguridad, las infraestructuras pública y privada, el patrimonio público y la paz de todos los colombianos.

Authors: Ngaderman Hubertus , Sinaga Ego Srivajawaty
Published: May 2024

The aim of the research is to find the maximum velocity possessed by the molecules (Maxwell velocity distribution) of the solvation event of lithium hexafluorophosphate salt  interacting with ethylene carbonate (EC) solvent. We examined the electrolyte simulation of the reaction between lithium ions  and hexafluorophosphate  with ethylene carbonate (EC) solvent while the potential involved is the Lennard Jones potential. We use the epsilon (ε) and sigma (σ) parameters of Lennard Jones. These parameters are the independent variables used as a reference in determining the response variable which is the velocity of the molecules. Due to the large number of molecules involving the parameters and response variables per molecule mentioned above, we use a microcanonical assembly system (N, V, E) where the number of particles (N), system volume (V) and energy (E) are constant. The energy kT and the distance between molecules σ of 1 are inputted to the program in order to facilitate the computer in the simulation process. Solvation events where litium hexafluorophosphate  salt and solvent ethylene carbonate  interact then in the final positions of particles (equilibrium) the result is almost symmetry randomly in all planes. The velocity used is the most frequent velocity ( ) and is related to the kinetic energy.

Published: May 2024

UV‑C treatment is a non-thermal technology that could be used for the microbiological stabilisation of must and wine. However, light - in this case UV‑C light - has an impact on wine. UV‑C is a high-energy light source and can promote photo-induced oxidation reactions. The formation of reactive oxygen species during the UV-C treatment of wine can be prevented via supplementation with antioxidants. These have the ability to neutralise reactive oxygen species or directly interact with the products of photo-induced oxidation reactions. This study investigates the impact of different UV‑C doses on the chemical and sensory characteristics of Chardonnay wine and examines the protective effect of two antioxidants: sulphur dioxide (SO2) and hydrolysable tannins. A sensory evaluation revealed that UV‑C doses higher than 1 kJ/l increased the colour intensity and the oxidised and burnt odour attributes of the wine. The peach odour attribute decreased with UV‑C treatment. On a chemical level, increasing UV‑C doses promoted the formation of compounds such as acetaldehyde and 2‑aminoacetophenone (2‑AAP), while causing the degradation of C13‑norisoprenoids, higher alcohols, monoterpenes and esters. Contrary to expectations, SO2 did not act as an antioxidant when wine was treated with UV-C. It intensified the burnt odour attribute and did not mitigate the intensity of the oxidised odour attribute, which can be explained by the formation of acetaldehyde. However, hydrolysable tannins acted as antioxidants when combined with UV‑C treatment, effectively mitigating the formation of 2‑AAP and acetaldehyde, while preventing the wine from becoming oxidised.
CNN-based Labelled Crack Detection for Image Annotation
Authors: Asghari Ilani Mohsen , Amini Leila , Karimi Hossein , Shavali Kuhshuri Maryam
Published: May 2024

Numerous image processing techniques (IPTs) have been employed to detect crack defects, offering an alternative to human-conducted onsite inspections. These IPTs manipulate images to extract defect features, particularly cracks in surfaces produced through Additive Manufacturing (AM). This article presents a vision-based approach that utilizes deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for crack detection in AM surfaces. Traditional image processing techniques face challenges with diverse real-world scenarios and varying crack types. To overcome these challenges, our proposed method leverages CNNs, eliminating the need for extensive feature extraction. Annotation for CNN training is facilitated by LabelImg without the requirement for additional IPTs. The trained CNN, enhanced by OpenCV preprocessing techniques, achieves an outstanding 99.54% accuracy on a dataset of 14,982 annotated images with resolutions of 1536 × 1103 pixels. Evaluation metrics exceeding 96% precision, 98% recall, and a 97% F1-score highlight the precision and effectiveness of the entire process.

Authors: Pisani Tiziana , Capoluongo Ettore Domenico , Cenci Maria
Published: May 2024

Precancerous and cancerous lesions of the uterine cervix are known to be associated with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The screening of HR-HPV infection in female population has led to the discovery of several cases of double cervix, a congenital malformation that is very rare. The purpose of this study was to evaluate high risk (HR) HPV infections in women with double cervix within the National Cervical Cancer Screening program of the Lazio Region (Italy). From June 2021 to March 2024 a total of 142,437 samples were analyzed by Seegene’s Anyplex TM II HR-HPV method which identifies 14 HR-HPV genotypes. For each woman identified with a double cervix, two separate samples were taken from both cervixes and analyzed separately. Twenty-seven women with double cervix were identified (0.019%): 20 women were tested as negative for both cervices, while the remaining four (namely A, B, C and D) resulted positive. By genotyping, the following results were obtained: A) both samples showed genotype 31; B) one cervix was negative while the other showed genotype 58. C) one cervix was positive for HPV 18 and 31 while for 18, 31 and 33 in the other. D) one cervix showed genotype 66 while the other carried the 66 and 68 genotypes. Double cervix is a very rare condition, where the presence HR-HPV genotypes is not homogeneous. As already described, our study confirms that different genotypes can be detected in double cervix malformation, suggesting the need to perform HPV screening on brushing samples from both cervices.

The study is aimed at developing a resilient benchmarking system for small hotels in Ukraine, designed to ensure their survival and growth amid global disruptions and local crises. Given the severe challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and military actions, the resilience of the regional tourism business becomes particularly relevant. The methods used in the study, including factor and cluster analysis, the method of taxonomy, and dendrograms, have enabled the development of development programs for two clusters of hotels: those located in areas with increased military risk and those in relatively safe territories. The taxonomic analysis revealed significant differences in managerial practices and operational efficiency, largely determined by the geographic location of the hotels. Hotels in active combat zones experience a 40% reduction in tourist flow and financial instability, while hotels in safe areas demonstrate a 30% higher level of customer satisfaction. The application of advanced security systems and modern marketing techniques has led to a 40% reduction in incidents.

Çalışma 2016-2020 yılları arası 4 dönemi kapsamaktadır. Çalışma evrenini 30 sağlık hizmet bölgesi oluşturmakta olup, örneklem seçilmemiştir. Malmquist Toplam Faktör Verimliliği Endeksi Analiz Yöntemi ile sağlık hizmet bölgelerine göre genel yoğun bakım ünitelerinin verimlilik değerlerindeki değişimler analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlara göre 2017 yılında 2016 yılına göre 18 bölgenin, 2018 yılında 2017 yılına göre 10 bölgenin, 2019 yılında 2018 yılına göre 16 bölgenin, 2020 yılında ise 2019 yılına göre 8 bölgenin toplam faktör verimliliklerinin arttığı gözlemlenmiştir. Dönemlere göre 30 bölgenin toplam faktör verimliliği ortalama değerleri sırasıyla; 1,016, 0,95, 1,037, 0,879 olarak gerçekleşmiştir. 2016-2020 dönemi genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde ise 1 bölgenin teknik etkinlik değişiminin arttığı, 9 bölgenin ölçek etkinlik değişiminin arttığı, 9 bölgenin ise toplam faktör verimliliği değişiminin arttığı görülmektedir. 2016-2020 dönemi teknik etkinlik, ölçek etkinliği ve toplam faktör verimliliği ortalamaları sırasıyla 0,990, 0,992 ve 0,969 olarak gerçekleşmiştir. Pandeminin ilk dönemi olan 2019-2020 döneminde ise toplam faktör verimliliği, teknik ve ölçek etkinliği değişimlerinin azaldığı gözlemlenmiştir. Bu bulgu ile genel yoğun bakım ünitelerinin o dönemde yönetsel açıdan verimli yönetilemediği, uygun ölçekte üretim yapılmadığı ve yeterli düzeyde teknolojik yatırım olmadığı söylenebilir.

For patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), prolonged mechanical ventilation is associated with negative outcomes. A quality improvement (QI) initiative with the aim of reducing median time on the ventilator for tracheostomy patients was undertaken at a tertiary care ICU in Toronto, Canada. A QI team was formed and using QI methodology, a deep understanding of our local process was achieved. Based on this information and on the latest evidence on weaning, a standard tracheostomy weaning protocol was designed. The protocol was refined through three developmental, and two testing plan-do-study-act (PDSA) cycles. This study was a prospective time series showing the effect of implementation of our intervention on tracheotomy patients’ time on the ventilator. The baseline median number of days on the ventilator after tracheostomy insertion was 17. Within 12 months of the introduction of the intervention, a shift in the data showing a reduction in the median time on the ventilator to 10.6 days, had developed. Adherence and compliance to the protocol also improved over time. A standard tracheostomy weaning protocol was successfully developed, tested, and implemented in a tertiary care ICU. Using strategies such as frequent communication with key stakeholders and incorporating a tracheostomy weaning progress sheet to document and track tracheostomy patients and their outcomes, this QI intervention has become engrained in the local culture at our centre. This weaning protocol has successfully reduced the median time on the ventilator for tracheostomy patients by over 6 days.

Values education spans a lifetime, commencing in homes and extending through societal influence and formal schooling. This study aims to delve into primary school teachers' insights on values education within primary education. Adoptinga qualitative method, the research relied on interviews as the primary source of data collection. The participants, drawn from ten schools in the North and South Dhaka City Corporation, were selected through purposive sampling, a subset of intentional sampling. Theoretically, grounded in Kohlberg's moral development theory, this study uncovered that introducing values education early significantly bolsters children's readiness for the future, shapes their character, and nurtures enduring values. Several actors are responsible for shaping the values of education of children. However, participants highlighted the pivotal role of parents in this educational journey. The findings suggested that valueseducation could either be a standalone subject or incorporated into existing courses, with an emphasis on using case studies and drama to impart appropriate behaviors and cultivate empathy among students.

Background
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) typically presents with bone marrow myeloblast replacement, which can interfere with normal hematopoiesis. In rare cases, extramedullary involvement of myeloblasts can occur and affect various organs. When AML affects the central nervous system at the time of diagnosis, it is considered to be an unusual occurrence, with less than 5% of incidence.
Case presentation
A 19-year-old girl presented with progressively worsening frontal tension headache and blurred vision over a month. She also experienced sudden onset right eye strabismus and diplopia 25 days prior to her visit. Additionally, her complete blood count revealed pancytopenia.
Following a thorough evaluation, including cytology, immunophenotyping, and cytogenetics of cerebrospinal fluid and bone marrow biopsy, she was diagnosed with AML with meningeal involvement.
Conclusion
Physicians should consider underlying malignancy in patients with meningeal symptoms, cranial nerve involvement, and/or resistance to conventional therapies.

Vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) represents a clinical challenge for transplant therapy, as it involves different tissues with unique immunogenicity. Even when receiving immunosuppressive therapy, they are more vulnerable to severe hypoxia, microvascular damage, and ultimately the rejection or chronic graft dysfunction after transplantation. This study aimed to develop a surgical protocol for VCA of the ear in a porcine biomodel in the absence of immunosuppression, maintaining the in vitro co-culture of the allograft and assessing their relationship with allograft survival. We employed five crossbred pigs and three outbred mini pig biomodels (Sus scrofa), as donors and recipients, to perform four VCAs. Blood samples were taken from each biomodel for crossmatch testing and SLA haplotype identification. Bone marrow samples were taken from each recipient for subsequent co-culture. Temperature variations between culture and co-culture period were assessed. Histological analysis was performed on the allografts that survived beyond eight days, using hematoxylin and eosin staining. A surgical protocol for Vascularized Composite Allograft (VCA) ear transplantation in a porcine biomodel was developed, including the skin. The presence of SLA-DRB1*01:02 and SLA-DRB1*06:01 haplotypes in the recipient and donor, respectively, showed concordance with positive crossmatch tests. No histological signs of hyperacute rejection were found ten days after transplantation. The results obtained from this protocol can provide valuable recommendations for translational applications in face transplantation, extremity transplantation, and regenerative medicine.
