Authors: Seidnitzer-Gallien Carina , Ribas-Tugores Carles , Zotter Gerald
Published: April 2024

District heating (DH) systems play a crucial role in meeting heating demands across the European Union (EU) and Austria, with significant potential for energy efficiency improvements and decarbonization. However, the transition towards climate neutrality by 2040 poses significant challenges, particularly in decarbonizing existing DH systems and integrating renewable energy sources. This work explores the application of absorption technologies, specifically absorption heat exchangers (AHX), absorption chillers (AC), and absorption heat pumps (AHP), in optimizing DH systems. The study investigates the utilization of AHX as transfer substations to increase heat capacity within existing grids by up to 30%, facilitating the integration of renewables and reducing distribution heat losses. Additionally, AC implementation for cooling supply demonstrates efficiency improvements through dynamic operation modes, renewable energy integration, and reduced electricity demand. Furthermore, AHP for waste heat utilization in DH power plants showcases environmental benefits, cost savings, and enhanced energy security. Through detailed techno-economic analyses and case studies, the paper evaluates the viability and economic feasibility of absorption technologies in DH applications. Challenges such as system integration, spatial requirements, and driving energy optimization are addressed, offering insights into overcoming barriers to adoption. Overall, the research highlights the transformative potential of absorption technologies in enhancing the efficiency, sustainability, and resilience of DH systems. By leveraging these technologies, DH operators and stakeholders can navigate the transition towards climate neutrality, while ensuring reliable and cost-effective heating and cooling solutions for urban areas.

Authors: Rehmann Felix , Chen Siling , Cudok Falk , Streblow Rita
Published: April 2024

The Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) is a framework introduced by the EU in 2018 to assess smart buildings in various aspects. However, the SRI has been criticized for several limitations, including its ambiguous service definitions. This paper proposes the application of Non-Intrusive-Load Monitoring (NILM) technology to enhance SRI evaluation on the example of SRI service E-12. NILM can be used to disaggregate energy consumption data to end use levels and allows for granular non-intrusive energy consumption measurement. The study involves a rigorous methodology using open sensor data and NILM algorithms to evaluate device-specific energy consumption We evaluate the IDEAL dataset and three different frequencies (5s, 15min, 1h), three different algorithms (CO, RNN, Seq2Point) and one data imputation strategies (forward filling). The results show that with a higher frequency, the performance metrics (F-score, normalized absolute error) increase. Regarding further considerations, we identify a trade-off between resource and energy efficiency, as well as privacy considerations with increasing measurement frequency. To achieve its aims for awareness, the SRI needs to consider interoperability and appropriate aggregations (frequency and spatial).

Published: April 2024

Son escasos los estudios que logran estimar el consumo de biocombustibles sólidos en el sector residencial de la región de Valparaíso. A partir de las encuestas aplicadas en el año 2022, se estimó un consumo total de energía residencial de 4.649,9 GWh/año. De este total, en el sector urbano la leña representó el 15% de la matriz energética, mientras que en el sector rural fue el energético de mayor importancia, con un 51%. De este modo, el consumo total de leña en el sector residencial de la región de Valparaíso fue de 360.102 m3 sólidos/año, de los cuales el 57% se concentra en áreas urbanas y un 43% en sectores rurales. Sin considerar departamentos, el 29,6% de las viviendas urbanas y el 58,3% de las viviendas rurales consumen leña. El 40% de las especies usadas en el sector residencial para leña corresponden a eucalipto (Eucaliptus sp.), el 33% a diversos frutales (principalmente Vitis sp. y Persea americana), el 15% a otros exóticos (mayormente Pinus sp. y Acacia sp.), el 6% a especies nativas del bosque esclerófilo, el 4% a restos de construcción y el 2% de origen desconocido. La región enfrenta un proceso de migración caracterizado por nuevos asentamientos en el sector rural y en las periferias de los sectores urbanos, donde la leña es un combustible ampliamente utilizado, principalmente en estratos de menores ingresos.

Authors: Pavlov Aleksandr , Martazova Valentina , Ivanovskiy Sergey
Published: April 2024

The article proposes the way to control aggressive invasive plant Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden. This method excludes contact of the plant dangerous sap with human skin, and based on injecting of 6% apple vinegar in optimal volumes into the stems of the plant before its fructification. Injection of apple vinegar into the hollow part of the stems causes complete necrosis of the aerial part of the plant within 48 hours. At the same time, aceylation is an exclusively selective process characteristic for Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden only. This reaction does not have the negative environmental effects observed when using glyphosate, imidazolinine, sulfonylurea, and other herbicides. The article confirms the exceptional selectivity of injections on Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden. According to the research, the injections of 6% apple vinegar do not affect on the hollow stems of Sónchus oleráceus. Indeed, the injections of water into the stems of both types of plants under study do not cause the death of their aerial parts. Moreover, the high-performance liquid chromatography of stems after injections with 6% apple vinegar shows an induced increase in the content of furanocoumarins in 48 hours as a response to an irritant dangerous to the plant. Moreover, the content of xanthotoxin increased by 1.7 times.

Authors: Ivanovskiy Sergey , Yaichkov Ilya , Shetnev Anton , Korsakov Mikhail
Published: April 2024

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness. Early diagnosis and effective treatment can reduce the progression of the disease and prevent irreversible decay of visual functions. Indeed, human carboanhydrase isoform II is a classical target for glaucoma treatment. We proposed a compound molecule 5 (5 trifluoromethyl-isoxazol-3-yl)furan-2-sulfonamide under the project name B016, which showed high activity as a human carboanhydrase II inhibitor by in vitro tests. Our team is currently conducting development and preclinical studies of a medicinal product in the eye drops form based on this compound. One of the stages of pharmaceutical research is the development of quality control methods for both the pharmaceutical substance and the finished dosage form. We have developed a chromatographic separation procedure, which can be used for quality control of active pharmaceutical substance by quantification indicators. We also determined the impurity profile, i.e. the structure of the impurities found in the reaction product of compound B016.

Published: April 2024

The paper presents the results of finger joint quality assessment at the static bending in the production of wooden laminated structures. We selected the softwood samples randomly. This study concerns with detecting of bending stress with load application in thirds of the plate span. This loading scheme allows us to make pure bending deformation for the area under study. 53.3% of the selected samples had the values of maximum bending stress satisfying the regulatory requirements. The average value of the destructive bending stress in the finger joint was 19.8 MPa, the coefficient of variation - 8.9%. According to the study results, surface defects and the glue application uniformity on surface of the joint significantly affected the strength of finger joints. This explains the insufficient adhesive strength in the place of finger joint and, as a consequence, low strength at static bending. Therefore, it is necessary to replace glue-bearing applicators, and control the technological process of wooden laminated structures manufacturing regularly.

The problem of facade destruction is particularly acute in the historical center of St. Petersburg. Due to the uniqueness and cultural value of buildings in this area, the preservation and restoration of facades are priorities for city authorities and experts. In their work the authors suggest using 3D scanning to obtain more accurate data on the condition of facades. This method provides performing a detailed three-dimensional model of a building. It significantly reduces the time and cost of monitoring, and allows one’s to assess the facades state. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, we conducted the experimental research on the case study of one of the historical and cultural buildings of St. Petersburg – the Apartment House of A.L. Lishnevsky. The results of the study demonstrated that 3D-scanning technologies provide operational control of the damage and accident rate of facades. Also they can facilitate the conservation and restoration of buildings located in the historical centre of St. Petersburg.

Authors: Oparina Lyudmila , Ogurtsov Valeriy
Published: April 2024

Considerable energy resources are consumed in the production of building materials, during construction and installation works, for operation with current and major repairs, reconstruction, dismantling, utilisation and recycling. As a rule, these energy resources are non-renewable, therefore, for energy saving purposes, it is necessary to take into account the total energy consumption of capital construction facilities during their life cycle. The authors have proposed the structure of a relational database of building materials energy intensity to calculate energy costs. The proposed database contains a list of building materials and energy intensity values at all stages of the life cycle. The novelty of the database is the division of materials by building elements (replaceable, non-replaceable). The article presents fragments of energy intensity calculation of the apartment building life cycle in the Ivanovo city using the proposed database.

Published: April 2024

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease, defined by the presence of functional endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity. This disease is one of the main gynecological diseases, affecting around 10%-15% women and girls of reproductive age, being a common gynecologic disorder. Although endometriosis is a benign disease, it shares several characteristics with invasive cancer. Studies support that it has been linked with an increased chance of developing endometrial ovarian cancer, representing an earlier stage of neoplastic processes. This is particularly true for women with clear cell carcinoma, low-grade serous carcinoma and endometrioid. However, the carcinogenic pathways between both pathologies remain poorly understood. Current studies suggest a connection between endometriosis and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancers (EAOCs) via pathways associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, and hyperestrogenism. This article aims to review current data on the molecular events linked to the development of EAOCs from endometriosis, specifically focusing on the complex relationship between the immune response to endometriosis and cancer, including the molecular mechanisms and their ramifications. Examining recent developments in immunotherapy and their potential to boost the effectiveness of future treatments.

Published: April 2024

Attention has been drawn to the benefits of integrating project-based learning (PjBL) into educational curricula to enhance student engagement. This study investigated how well project-based learning fosters student engagement and achievements in computer science courses. Qualitative and quantitative research methods were used for this experiment. A total of 60 first year undergraduate students included in the study were divided into the two following groups: experimental group (n=30) and control group (n= 30). National Survey of Student Engagement’ (NSSE) based on Coates’ five-dimensional framework theory of student engagement was used to collect the data. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the pretest scores between the experimental group and the control group (p >0.05) before the intervention. However, after the experiment, the post test scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (p <0.01), indicating an improvement in engagement. The mean grades and mean engagement of the experimental group were also higher compared to the control group. The difference in engagement between the experimental group before and after the intervention was statistically significant (Z=-3.522, p <0.05), with the median data after intervention being higher than before. Specifically, students engaged in project-based learning (PjBL) were more actively involved in self-perception and self-worth compared to students in traditional learning settings. These findings suggest that highly contextualized project-based learning has a positive impact on student engagement and achievements.

Published: April 2024

The gut microbiome plays a crucial role regulating immune responses in the central nervous system (CNS). This study investigates the effect of the gut microbiome on immune regulation in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model of multiple sclerosis. Using high-throughput sequencing techniques, we analyzed the composition of the gut microbiome in EAE mice and its impact on immune responses in the CNS. Our results demonstrate that alterations in the gut microbiome composition are associated with changes in the immune regulation of the CNS in EAE mice. These findings highlight the importance of the gut-brain axis in regulating immune responses in neuroinflammatory diseases.

Published: April 2024

This research aims to determine the role of journalists as part of the supervisory pillar of the authorities, in reporting on the murder case of Brigadier Joshua. Journalists play a role in providing accurate information regarding the actual situation, in this case uncovering the murder of Brigadier Joshua. So that the tangled thread of the murder case of Brigadier Joshua committed by his superiors can be revealed. To answer this problem, researchers used qualitative research methods and conducted in-depth interviews using a phenomenological approach. The results of the research show that the initial information conveyed by the Indonesian National Police (Polri) regarding the death of Brigadier Yosua gave rise to skepticism among journalists so this information was not immediately accepted. Regarding this matter, journalists stimulate the public by using diction, for example with the word "irregularities". Journalists who initially only conveyed information and tended to be passive, became active players through verification and independent investigations carried out to take various angles or framing of the case in question so that they were able to move the parties to react and make this case an important issue within the National Police that must be resolved immediately, and demands the government to enforce the law as fairly as possible

Background:

Opioid use after revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) has not been well characterized. The purpose of this study was to characterize preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative opioid use during rTHA.

Methods:

Patients undergoing revision THA from 2010 to 2018 were screened for opioid use 3 months before revision surgery and tracked 24 months postoperatively. Patients were categorized as naïve or tolerant. Opioid prescriptions and average morphine milligram equivalents (MME) were compared between the two groups.

Results:

One hundred twenty-four of 247 patients (50%) in the tolerant group averaged a preoperative MME of 23.7 mg/day. Postoperatively, tolerant patients received significantly higher daily MME at all time points, including at 3 months 31.4 versus 18.1 mg/day (P < 0.001), 6 months 19.9 versus 2.95 mg/day (P < 0.001), 12 months 14.3 versus 3.5 mg/day (P < 0.001), and 24 months 10.7 versus 2.17 mg/day (P < 0.001). Tolerant patients were more likely to have a prescription at 6 months (44% versus 22%), 12 months (41.4% versus 24%), and 24 months (38% versus 19.3%) (P < 0.001, P = 0.002, P < 0.001, respectively)

Discussion:

Opioid-tolerant patients had higher postoperative MME requirements for longer recovery duration. Both groups reduced opioid use at 3 months and plateaued at 6 months. These findings can help the revision surgeon counsel patients and expectations.

Authors: Zahedipour Zahra , Nejad Mohammad , Niasar Abolfazl , Eliasi Hussein
Published: April 2024

Short circuit fault (SCF) in stator coils is one of the most common types of electrical faults. The expansion of this fault leads to the permanent demagnetization of the magnet, and causes irreparable damage to the machine in a short period. With the development of artificial intelligence technologies and various machine learning and deep learning techniques, an increase in fault detection accuracy has been achieved. In this paper, permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is investigated under normal mode and fault conditions, namely SCF in winding loops, phase to phase SCF and open circuit fault of one of the phases. Group Model of Data Handling deep neural network (GMDH-DNN) is used to produce a SCF detection model. Results of simulating the proposed method and the data extracted from the PMSM reveals that the accuracy rate of SCF detection in the winding loops of the PMSM in the proposed method is equal to 99.2%, which constitutes an improvement of 1.7% compared to other existing methods such as conditional generative adversarial network (CGAN). Moreover, simulating other existing methods - namely support vector machine (SVM), k nearest neighbors (KNN), C4.5, multi-layer perceptron (MLP), recursive deep neural network (RDNN) and long short-term memory networks (LSTM) – and comparing them with the proposed method, unveil that the accuracy of the proposed method for SCF detection in winding loops overweigh those of aforesaid existing methods.

Published: April 2024

Introduction: Coronary no-reflow phenomenon is an important factor that causes increased mortality and morbidity in percutaneous coronary intervention procedures. How this happened is a subject that is still under investigation and has no clear answer. In this study, we examined the effect of eosinophil values in coronary no-reflow.
Methods: The study was designed retrospectively. Four hundred four patients who underwent coronary bypass were included in the study; 153 in the no-reflow group and 251 in the regular coronary flow group. The relationship between eosinophil values and no-reflow was examined.
Results: In the examination between no-reflow and eosinophil, there was a significant difference between the groups (p <0.001), Multivariate analysis showed that presence of coronary stent (p = 0.001), diabetes mellitus (P = 0.001), neutrophils (P = 0.001), eosinophil (P = 0.001) were effective coronary no-reflow phenomena.
Conclusions: Many factors play a role in developing no-reflow and eosinophil height among these factors. It should be kept in mind that no-reflow may develop if eosinophil elevation is present in coronary artery disease.

One of the primary issues brought about by the industrialization's rapid development is aquatic pollution. Utilizing microorganisms to remediate industrial wastewater (IWW) is a sustainable approach. This study was conducted to assess pollution load in Wupa wastewater treatment plant and to use introduced microbes (Bacillus subtillis and Aspergillus niger) individually and in a consortium for bioremediation. The Wupa wastewater treatment plant in Abuja provided the wastewater samples, which were then analysed for heavy metal content and other physicochemical characteristics. Measurements were made of the pH, colour, temperature, turbidity, electrical conductivity (EC), total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), and total dissolved solids (TDS). Wastewaters samples were subjected to heavy metal analysis using Atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). For eight days, a container experiment was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the chosen species. Selected species were used to remediate the wastewater samples both alone and collectively. Following treatment, turbidity (41.2%), BOD (95.2%), COD (96%), TSS (87-99%), TDS (27-8%), and EC (45-8%) all showed significant decreases. Following the experiment, atomic absorption spectrophotometry was used to determine the metal concentrations in water samples. 98.4% of Zn, 92.4% of Fe, and 92.4% of Mn were eliminated by the chosen species. Heavy metal removal percentage from Wupa wastewater using Aspergillus niger and Bacillus subtillis. Zinc significantly (p>0.05) record high removal efficiency as compared to Mangane and Iron in the waste water treated with Bacillus subtilis, A. Niger and the combination of both organisms.The bioremoval efficiency of Aspergillus niger and Bacillus subtillis for heavy metals in Wupa wastewater. The control treatment significantly (p<0.05) has lower bioremoval efficiency of the heavy metals (Manganese, Iron and Zinc) when compared to the waste water treated with Bacillus subtilis, A. Niger and the combination of both organisms. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the Bacillus subtillis and Aspergillus niger and other ingineous wastewater isolsates had the capacity to resist and grow on heavy metals and thus contributes in the removal of heavy metals present in the wastewater by absorbing them which also increased the biomass of the microbes.
