Published: December 2023

The use of Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) has proven to be an effective treatment option for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) patients who are not eligible for heart transplantation. These devices can serve as a bridge to heart transplantation (BTT) or as destination therapy (DT). While LVADs operate at a constant flow, this can affect the patient's quality of life and survival rate. To address this issue, Health 4.0 (H4) has developed new technological resources to personalize control systems and integrate medical devices into treatment. In this effort, a Physiological Control of LVAD (PC-LVAD) system was implemented within the H4 platform, using an Intelligent Embedded System (IES). The IES was developed using the MyRIO® development platform and tools such as LabVIEW® FPGA and RT, Quartus II® EDA, and MATLAB®. To evaluate its performance, preliminary criteria were assessed in experimental tests, analyzing the Internet of Things (IoT) characterization and applying best practices for information security. The results of the experimental tests showed that the IES could store and transmitting data in real-time to a graphical interface, and the data were found to be consistent with external measuring instruments.

Published: December 2023

This community service activity aims to increase corn production in Sabah Balau using POCI (Special Liquid Organic Fertilizer) products from Masaro. POCI is used as an organic fertilizer and its farming produces a higher production number, higher quality product, faster production rate while its production cost is lower. On the other hand, the problem of Indonesia is that national agriculture is stuck in inorganic chemical fertilization that has an impact on accelerating the degradation of agricultural land fertility. This matter can occur due to various problems, especially the culture of using chemical fertilizers that have been going on for too long. The activities carried out include socializing about recycling organic waste with POCI Masaro, conducting outreach activities about the benefits of POCI Masaro and practicing composting for corns. The results showed the enthusiasm of the community in participating to make POCI Masaro and demonstration plots. The output of this activity: Increased corn production, increased of knowledge and skills of community in making and applying POCI Masaro on plant and motivation of farmers to independently develop alternative organic fertilizers that are in accordance with farmers' needs.
Simulating the interaction between tidal flows and convection
Authors: Duguid Craig
Published: December 2023

Tidal interactions are important in driving spin and orbital evolution in various astrophysical systems such as hot Jupiters, close bi-nary stars, and planetary satellites. However, the fluid dynamical mechanisms responsible for tidal dissipation in giant planets and stars remain poorly understood. One key mechanism is the interaction between tidal flows and turbulent convection which is thought to act as an eddy viscosity dampening the large scale tidal flow. Using hydrodynamical simulations we investigate the dissipation of the large scale equilibrium tide as a result of its interaction with convection. Our approach is to conduct an extensive parameter sur-vey in order to study the interaction be-tween an oscillatory background shear flow, which represents a large-scale tidal flow, and the convecting fluid inside a small patch of a star or planet. This study has required data from a large number of simulations, where many have long integration times, and hence could not be possible without the use of HPC.
Modelling the interplay between zonal winds, waves and turbulence: application to gas giants
Authors: Lemasquerier Daphne
Published: December 2023

The ongoing NASA’s Juno mission is providing stunning observations of Jupiter, which illustrate the complex fluid dynamics involved on the gas giant. Among others, Jupiter’s atmosphere exhibits multiple persistent vortices embedded within strong east-west winds called zonal jets, both features being part of an intense turbulent flow. In this talk, I will present laboratory experiments complemented by numerical and theoretical analyses to better understand the emergence and properties of Jovian zonal winds. I will present an experimental setup where dominant zonal jets emerge spontaneously from a rapidly rotating turbulent flow with a topographic beta-effect. I will demonstrate the essential role of Rossby waves in the emergence and nonlinear saturation of the jets, illustrated by a transition between two regimes of jets involving a Rossby waves resonance. By studying the inhomogeneous and anisotropic properties of the turbulent flow, and using complementary quasigeostrophic numerical simulations, I will show that these experiments are in the so-called zonostrophic regime, relevant to gas giants. Finally, I will discuss the final scale of equilibration of zonal winds using an analytical quasi-linear model of the interaction between Rossby waves and the mean flow. The features and mechanisms presented in this talk are not exclusive to gas giants, and our results aim at being generic and applicable to other fluid systems subject to analogous physical effects, such as oceans, atmospheres and planetary liquid cores.
Introducing Transformative Plant Biotechnology: Transgene-free CRISPR-edited plants through grafting by RNA translocation
Authors: Machin Frank
Published: December 2023

Generation of stable gene-edited plant lines using CRISPR-Cas9 requires a lengthy process of outcrossing to eliminate CRISPR–Cas9-associated sequences and produce transgene-free lines. We have addressed this issue by designing fusions of Cas9 and guide RNA transcripts to tRNA-like sequence motifs that move RNAs from transgenic rootstocks to grafted wild-type shoots (scions) and achieve heritable gene editing, as demonstrated in wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica rapa. The graft-mobile gene editing system enables the production of transgene-free offspring in one generation without the need for transgene elimination, culture recovery and selection, or use of viral editing vectors.

Free will and determinism
Authors: Jahangiri Mona
Published: December 2023

In her article »Free will and determinism«, Mona Jahangiri begins with neuroethical considerations drawing on the rapid developments taking place in the field of neuroscience, which result in ethical questions in the field of brain research increasingly being taken up: Is there freedom of will? Are human beings free in their actions or are their actions determined? In her article, the author examines the question of moral responsibility in criminals as well as the underlying problem of human free will, which she approaches from an Islamic, especially Islamic-Shiite perspective and in an interdisciplinary way. She first discusses whether or not human beings are actually free in their actions on the basis of some exemplary statements on this topic by Anglo-American and European philosophers and neuroscientists. This is followed by a presentation of »Guilt and responsibility in the Quran and Hadith«, before she devotes herself in detail to the topic of »Determinism and freedom in Islamic Shiite philosophy«, and in this regard reproduces the various positions that have been repeatedly discussed and put to the test within the history and science of the kalām. In doing so, she makes it clear that the Islamic-Shiite view of the question of divine predestination and human freedom of will offers a »middle way«, which in this respect does not mean either/or, but rather both/and, and in her opinion forms the basis for a special kind of compatibilism in which every human being bears complete responsibility for his deeds and is to be regarded as their originator, even if he does not possess absolute, perfect freedom of will and even if the causes do not lie one-hundred percent within his sphere of influence.
The Subjection of the Creature to the Futility of Idolatry: The Scope and Application of Romans 8:19–22
Authors: Perriman Andrew
Published: December 2023

What Paul has to say in Rom 8:19–22 about the subjection of ἡ κτίσις to futility, its bondage to corruption, and its groaning in pain is usually read as a statement about the general condition of creation, ruined by the sin of Adam as indicated in Rom 5:12, which, along with believers in Jesus, yearns for final restoration. The argument put forward here will be that the conceptual frame for the passage is furnished not by the story of the fall but by the more focused and characteristically Hellenistic-Jewish polemic against “Greek” idolatry developed in Rom 1:19–23. What troubles Paul as a pious Jew in the Mediterranean world is the subjection of the material of creation—wood, stone, gold, silver—to futile religious practices that result in the corruption of life. The whole of creation groans in solidarity with the abused “creature,” but in the “present time” there is also a groaning community that bears confident witness to the approaching end of the impious pagan order.

Millî Mücadele Döneminde Bartın
Authors: Arslan Gürbüz
Published: December 2023

"With the French landing soldiers in Zonguldak, Bartın, a small province of the Western Black Sea in terms of population and surface measurement, has begun to have invasion concerns. With the increase in the number of French troops in Zonguldak, and the appearance of the French navy on the coast of Bartın, this concern intensified. The residents of Bartın did not take any steps to fight the French with the influence of the general belief that there is also a number of people and groups, especially the central government, in order to prevent things from getting worse. Mustafa Kemal Pasha's landing in Samsun, and the Amasya Circular that followed it, were the first steps in the establishment of the notion of the National Struggle in Bartın and its surroundings. The notion of the National Struggle expanded with the activity of the Science and Knowledge Association, which was created by young people from Bartın, and got stronger with the Bartın Countrywide Resistance Organization, which was founded at Mustafa Kemal Pasha's request. During this period, when the awareness of the National Struggle gradually increased, Bartın District Governor Durmuş Bey and Bartın representatives of the Freedom and Accord Party also made propaganda against the National Struggle. However, this situation came to an end with the arrival of Captain Cevat Rifat as the Commander of Bartın and its vicinity in Bartın on June 1, 1920. Then, the opposers of the National Struggle left the region, and the new district governor, Hüsnü Bey, unified the divided people on the road to national liberation with his work. Following this, Bartın met the demands of all Kuvâ-yı Milliye troops in the district and helped the military unit become uniform in a short period of time by assisting Captain Cevat Rıfat. This situation paved the way for Captain Cevat Rıfat to fight against the rebellions against the Kuvâ-yı Milliye and the French, who occupied Zonguldak and took steps to expand the occupation area. Bartın's other contributions to the National Struggle included ensuring the security of the Istanbul-Inebolu road route, serving as a port where ships carrying weapons to the front could find refuge in an emergency, and providing financial aid."

Published: December 2023

The requirements of NTD (Neglected Tropical Diseases) and technological regulations for the operation of NPP (Nuclear Power Plant) power units (NP-001-97 (OPB-88/97), NP-082-07) define the requirements for monitoring the specific activity of iodine-131 (the amount of iodine) in the NPP primary circuit coolants. The advantages of laboratory control include accuracy of measurement and the radionuclide composition of the primary coolant, measured using high-precision laboratory equipment. Instrumental spectra were obtained for the detection units BDKG-205m with various options for the placement of waste in a container, their composition, mass of waste, average density, and various activity levels of waste. The basic idea behind gamma-ray spectroscopy is to detect and analyze the energy of incident gamma rays. Gamma rays of varying energy and intensity are emitted from radioactive sources. The gamma-ray energy spectrum is produced when gamma rays are detected and examined using a spectroscopy instrument. The initial stage in gamma-ray spectroscopy is to detect gamma rays using a suitable detector. The detector captures and measures the energy of incoming gamma rays. Scintillation detectors, semiconductor detectors, and gas-filled detectors are among the detectors used in gamma-ray spectroscopy. The incoming gamma-ray energy is converted into electrical signals that can be processed and studied by these detectors. The spectroscopic system measures and records the energy of gamma rays when they are detected. The derived energy spectrum depicts the intensity distribution of gamma rays as a function of energy. The spectrum is a visual representation of the different energy levels found in gamma-ray emission.

Published: December 2023

Minimizing environmental pollution is an essential work of the official and scientific communities around the world, especially in water systems. In water, soluble dye works as a blockage in photosynthesis process because of its toxicity. One of these highly applicable dyes in industry is Methyl Orange (MO), documented with more than 10% released to water. Here, a new Iraqi try of converting environmental and health problems to solutions with high quantification was as done by using face tissue (Kleenex) as a carbon source. Primary in Silico testing of this anionic dye (Methyl Orange) was done based on online website confirmed MO dye is unsafe in several toxicological determinations such as foetus health (during pregnancy). Also, it is permeable material to skin, Blood- Brain system (BBB), and Human Colon Carcinoma cell line (CaCO2) compatible with Human Intestinal absorption (74.166%). In experimental section, low quality of face tissue (Kleenex) was subject to a high acidic medium (concentrated sulphuric acid), followed by addition of sodium carbonate to .increase activation of based carbon material with more structural pores yielding high removal efficiency and adsorption capacity ranged (88-98)% and (88-98) mg/g respectively. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations were based upon choosing two wavelengths in ultraviolet (272 nm) and visible (464 nm) regions. In this work, two removal steps were performed with the same adsorbent companied by multiple UV-Vis spectroscopic evaluation of several tested sections. Reviewing of published papers in MO removal presents the extraordinary performance of this prepared material towards using it as an excellent adsorbent of toxic material in aqueous solution.
Environmentally Friendly Wood Adhesives Based on Dextrin/Arabic Gum Blends
Authors: Ali Huda M. J. , Abdullah Ahmed Q. , Shanan Zainab J.
Published: December 2023

Wood adhesives are widely used consisting of urea-formaldehyde resins. Most of the studies aim to find alternative natural materials to replace the carcinogenic chemical adhesives. A mixture of natural materials that are available in abundance, cheap in price and are resistant to water and heat, the failure of the interface between two solid dielectrics is a major source of insulation system failure, hence it is crucial to understand the principles regulating this breakdown occurrence. It is generally agreed that the tangential AC breakdown strength of solid-solid surfaces is primarily determined by the elastic modulus (elasticity), radial/tangential pressure, surface smoothness/roughness, and dielectric strength of the ambient environment. For this purpose, we made use of dextrin and Arabic gum. Physical parameters (Lap shear strength, pull off strength, hardness, roughness, electrical and thermal insulations) of the combination formed with varying amounts of each ingredient were investigated. The adhesive characteristics of D were enhanced by the incorporation of AG, with improved pull off adhesion and lap shear strength at increasing AG levels at 80%. D /AG 20/80 compositions had pull off adhesion values 189 times greater than pure D, and lap shear strength values 820 times higher. It is evident because of the dispersion of AG molecules in decreasing the surface roughness of D/AG films and increasing their hardness on the shore scale. There is a positive correlation between the amount of AG added and the blending matrix of D, therefore boosting A with AG increases A. The dielectric strength, and thermal insulation increases with the increase in the weight ratio of Arabic gum. The blend prepared as an adhesive for wood is a good electrical and thermal insulator at 8% AG/20% D.

The covid-19 pandemic had a significant impact on nursing care processes in hospitals, due to the high transmissibility of the virus and the congestion of health care networks. This study sought to assess the perception and feelings of the nursing team in relation to coping with the covid-19 pandemic in a rear hospital in Boa Vista, Roraima, between March 2020 and March 2021. a sample of employees who worked in the care ward for patients with covid-19, using semi-structured questionnaires. The results showed that nursing professionals faced negative and challenging feelings at the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic, such as insecurity, fear, sadness and uncertainty. The lack of favorable investments in nursing care, especially PPE, was a major reported problem. It was found that the hospital's infrastructure and the underestimation of the risk of contagion by the new virus permeated the feelings of the evaluated employees. It is concluded that it is of vital importance to guarantee the safety and well-being of nursing professionals, through investments in protective equipment and adequate hospital infrastructure, thus offering greater quality in the assistance and protection of health workers.

In order to improve visual inspections carried out by quality control in the manufacture of hydro generator stator bars, as well as agreeing high levels of requirements from hydroelectric plant customers regarding the proper functioning of their machine components, is created the hypothesis that the use of machine learning would enable a semi-automatic tool to support visual inspection, which involves subjective decisions that depend entirely on the level of experience and commitment of its executor. The focus of the article is on the use of the Edge Impulse platform to develop the tool, since the software proves to be easy to use, provides several resources and provides access to people with low knowledge in the area of information technology due to its low level of requirement for programming languages and data processing. It was proposed to use the DOE (design of experiments) tool to analyze the parameters and observe the factors that influence the model final result. Graphics presented during the text help to understand how the quality, quantity and model of pictures influence machine learning. With that, in addition to obtaining the results, there was also a more comprehensive perspective on the Edge Impulse software.

The present study proposed the comparison of the reading between the in vivo and in vitro models during the evaluation of Root ZX II foramen locators and Propex II. The localization of the major foramen was determined electronically in 40 canals of human single-rooted teeth in the in vivoand in vitro models. After the two measurements, the actual tooth length was measured. All values were tabulated and submitted to the statistical analysis of the data, applying the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test with significance level of 5% (p<0,05). Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences between the in vivo and in vitro models regarding the accuracy of the Root ZX II and Propex II devices during the localization of the major foramen. In the in vivo model, Propex II presented accuracy of 75% (±0,5mm) and 90% (±1,0mm) and Root ZX II presented accuracy of 80% (±0,5mm) and 92,5% (±1,0mm). For the in vitro model, Propex II presented accuracy of 72,5% (±0,5mm) and 97,5% (±1,0mm) and Root ZX II presented accuracy of 80% (±0,5mm) and 95% (±1,0mm). There were no statistically significant differences between the in vivo and in vitro models and between the devices used in the research.

Published: December 2023

La Carcinomatosis meníngea o carcinomatosis leptomeníngea se define como la diseminación generalizada de células tumorales a través de las menínges y los ventrículos, representa cerca del 5% de las metástasis neurológicas de adenocarcinoma de mama, pulmón y tubo digestivo, melanoma y tumores hematológicos. La presentación clínica incluye cefalea, vómito, crisis epiléptica, confusión, neuropatía craneal, parestesia y dolor en extremidades. El diagnóstico se confirma generalmente a través de resonancia magnética cerebral con gadolinio y estudio de líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR) donde se demuestra la presencia de células tumorales y alteración de los parámetros citoquímicos, aunque en algunos casos, el análisis del LCR suele estar normal. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 42 años de edad, sin ningún antecedente patológico aparente, que presentó con 4 meses de evolución cefalea, alteración de las funciones mentales superiores, crisis epiléptica, hipoacusia y disminución de la agudeza visual, al examen neurológico se apreció agitación psicomotriz, desorientación y signos meníngeos positivos, planteándose en un primer momento meningitis bacteriana; en la tomografía computarizada (TC) simple de cráneo reportó ligero edema cerebral como hallazgo significativo, al estudiar el LCR se apreció pleocitosis a expensas de células mononucleares con ligera hiperproteinorraquía y ausencia de desarrollo bacteriano, y el estudio citológico, demostró células inmaduras de estirpe linfoide compatibles con proceso neoplásico maligno, lamentablemente el paciente fallece y no se puede completar protocolo de estudio. Discusión: La carcinomatosis meníngea como primera manifestación de una enfermedad neoplásica es muy rara, generalmente se presenta en estadios avanzados del proceso oncológico, lo que hace fácil pensar en la probabilidad diagnóstica, sin embargo, se han reportado casos de primera manifestación de un proceso neoplásico en pacientes con carcinomas gástricos y algunos tumores hematológicos, siendo importante tener presente la sospecha clínica de dicha entidad.

Se han reportado escasas investigaciones sobre la utilidad de la ecografía en el diagnóstico de alteraciones y enfermedades nefro urológicas en pacientes pediátricos. Por lo tanto, este artículo tiene la finalidad de describir el uso de la ecografía en el diagnóstico de alteraciones y patologías nefrourológicas en pacientes pediátricos reportados en la literatura entre el 2010 y el 2023. Con tal fin, se realizó una revisión de la literatura en Pubmed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scholar Google, SciELO y LILACS. La ecografía es una técnica diagnóstica no invasiva. Gracias a las características anatómicas y fisiológicas de los pacientes pediátricos permite obtener imágenes de alta calidad. En general, se resaltan los beneficios de la ecografía en el diagnóstico de anomalías y enfermedades renales y urológicas en pacientes pediátricos, tales como malformaciones congénitas en las vías urinarias y los riñones, las glomerulonefritis (inflamación de dichos órganos), las tubulopatías que afectan la eliminación de los electrolitos, otras enfermedades asociadas a falla en el funcionamiento renal, como la Infección del tracto urinario, la enfermedad poliquística del riñón, acidosis tubular renal, el tumor de Wilms, glomerulonefritis, litiasis renal, hidronefrosis, entre otras. Se sugiere usar la ecografía como técnica diagnóstica rutinaria en las consultas de atención primaria en pediatría, urología y nefrología pediátrica, pues constituye una práctica que puede mejorar en la sensibilidad, especificidad y precisión de los diagnósticos.
