Published: March 2024

The historical retrospective of the construction industry shows a tendency to move to a qualitatively new level after crises and global upheaval. Global markets are currently being reformatted to reflect new investment priorities, where environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria are gaining essential importance, and Ukraine is at the center of global transformations. Ukraine's post-war reconstruction plans include the use of green innovative technologies, as the formation of a green economy is the basis of the European Union Association Agreement. The concept of "green recovery" has become widespread, as investments in low-carbon technologies strengthen the country's resilience. Implementation of green building principles saves resources and energy, stimulates innovation and competitiveness, and increases the confidence of investors and increasingly conscious consumers. Current international trends are moving towards global decarbonization of the world economy and the widespread implementation of ESG non-financial reporting standards to screen and increase transparency of business. The construction sector plays a key role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, given the significant economic, environmental and social impacts of the construction industry. The requirements for decarbonization, safety and well-being of buildings are growing, and the increasing volume and complexity of data requires new tools and approaches. The application of ESG principles involves the creation of long-term sustainable value in the interests of the company and its stakeholders. In the construction sector, ESG factors are crucial for determining the overall value and potential of a property, which helps investors to obtain more information for decision-making and risk assessment. The use of (ESG) indicators ensures transparency, objectivity and measurability of the company's performance. Businesses that demonstrate concrete commitments to sustainable development will become undisputed leaders in their industries in the next 30 years and will gain access to investment capital. On the other hand, companies that do not take care of compliance with international standards in a timely manner risk losing business in the medium term.
Clusters in industrial ecosystems – new innovative trends in the development of post-war Ukraine
Authors: Lavrukhina Kateryna O.
Published: March 2024

The article discusses the importance of creating and developing clusters in the context of the digital economy and socio-ecological transformation. The main goal is to unite competencies and resources through common strategies and projects to increase the innovative potential of clusters and their participants. The article emphasizes the need to build and support industrial-technological partnerships worldwide as a key task for industrial clusters. The importance of developing the production sector and supporting one's own technological level for the development of the economy and ensuring national well-being, particularly in Ukraine, is also highlighted in the article.Different ways and motives are proposed for strategic partnerships between clusters, including cooperation in management training, identification of international innovations, exploration of new markets, and initiation of international scientific research projects.The need to create a professional management team of clusters was emphasized in times of digitalization, economic and socio-ecological transformation, as only clusters cover various areas of knowledge and will closely cooperate with other market participants. Moreover, increasing the innovation potential of clusters and their participants is becoming more and more important. This facilitates the pooling of competences and resources through joint strategies and joint projects.The importance of identifying structural gaps in industrial ecosystems to maximize the benefits of potential collaborations and promote innovative policies for upgrading business processes and equipment is considered. The geographical boundaries of the industrial ecosystem are determined by the interdependencies that connect organizations within its boundaries and new ties that strengthen beyond its boundaries. Industrial ecosystems are defined as multi-level production systems that include heterogeneous agents involved in value chains, as well as those who contribute to the realization of their potential and the country's productive capacity. The value chain can be divided into five main types of activities: inbound logistics, production, outbound logistics, marketing and sales, and after-sales services, and may also contain secondary or supporting activities that contribute to the effectiveness of the main activities. The article emphasizes that defining the real boundaries of industrial ecosystems is critical for governments interested in supporting them and transforming them into closed-loop innovation systems.
The effect of using of organic and mineral origin raw materials in agriculture on soil fertility
Authors: Jafarov V.I.
Published: March 2024

The presented work relates to ecology, chemical technology, in particular, methods for the production of fertilizers from sewage sludge and agriculture.The scale of production activity increases with population growth, so the problem of optimizing the interaction between man and nature is relevant and its solution is of great importance in improving the environment. Wastewater is one of the by-products of anthropogenic activities. When it is cleaned, a precipitate (sludge) is formed. The volume and the toxicity of sludge are, of course, increasing due to urban growth and the intensification of industrial production. About 25-30 kg of dry sediment is formed per person per year in European countries.There is no single rational and environmentally safe, currently tested technology for sludge disposal in our republic, and its appearance is unlikely to be created shortly since the sediments of different treatment facilities have different physicochemical and biological properties, as well as entirely different qualitative and quantitative compositions of elements.Purifying and disposing of such waste (sludge) is a serious environmental problem. The main principles of its solution are a set of environmental and economic interests of society, environmentally safe disposal and use of sludge, and their involvement in the economic cycle. The problem of using waste for fertilizer has various aspects and it is inseparable from the problem of soil fertility and ecology.The exceptional importance of organic matter in increasing soil fertility has long been known. In this regard, application of organic-mineral complexes that affect the productivity and quality of plants, determination of effective fertilizer norms and application of new technologies are an urgent issue and are of great theoretical and practical importance.The fertility of the soil is very dependent on the intensity of the biological processes taking place in it. Sufficient moisture, organic matter and a favorable reaction of the soil solution are required for the activity of microorganisms in the soil.He worked on the technology of organic-mineral complex preparation and applied it under agricultural plants (cotton) in order to achieve the set goal in the direction of solving this issue.
RESEARCH OF PARAMETERS AND MODES OF THE VIBRATION CRUSHER
Authors: Nazarenko Ivan , Mishchuk Yevhen
Published: March 2024

One of the main directions of research on machines for the production of building ma-terials is the reduction of energy consumption. Solving the problem related to the determination of energy consumption is a rather difficult task, since energy consumption depends on a number of factors that change during the operation of the machine and are difficult to accurately describe. One of the areas of development of machines for the production of construction materials is the creation of resonant vibration machines. Based on the analysis of the latest researches, the prospects of vibrating jaw crushers have been established. The correct selection of parameters that will ensure the operation of the crusher in a stable resonance mode will make it possible to reduce energy costs for crushing. For this purpose, the study of the dynamic parameters of the vibrating jaw crusher is presented in the paper. The efficiency of the double-acting vibratory crusher under study is ensured in the resonance mode with the synchronous adjustment of the movement of the first and third masses and the counterphase movement of the second mass. For this, the stiffness of the elastic connections c1 and c2 is calculated from the condition of resonance of the reduced masses m23 and m12, respectively, and the stiffness of the support springs from the condition of vibration isolation. The physical model of the crusher is presented and the equations of motion of oscillating masses with and without material in the crushing chamber are given. Graphs of the effect on the amplitude of the stiffness adjustment coeffi-cient by frequency were obtained. Based on the equations of motion, the amplitude-frequency characteristics for the corresponding natural angular frequencies (resonance frequencies) are constructed. The mass of the oscillating parts of the crusher has a great influence on the amplitude of oscillations. Rationally selected ratios of oscillating masses provide the required operating mode (in-phase, anti-phase) and provide the re-quired amplitudes of oscillations of these masses. For the given input conditions, the rational limits of the ratios of the oscillating masses are determined to ensure the corresponding frequency regimes. Based on the analysis of the amplitude-frequency characteristics, graphs of the amplitudes of the movement of the oscillating masses of the crusher were constructed. Recommendations for choosing effective frequency modes are given.
DYNAMICS OF VIBRATION GRINDING WITH REGARD TO THE INFLUENCE OF SORTING MATERIAL ON ITS WORKING PARAMETERS
Authors: Nazarenko Ivan , Oryshchenko Serhii
Published: March 2024

The general calculation model of the screen system was determined - the material is based on the study of the interaction processes between the sieve and the crushed stone that was on the screen. The selected model of vibration movement of loose material made it possible to determine the qual-itative and quantitative characteristics of the dynamic impact on the working body. The sorting process is presented as some orderly process of movement of a large number of different particles in a layer on a sieve. The main provisions for the calculation of the main parameters of the screen are formulated, which ensure the specified modes of the process of sorting the material and obtaining the appropriate fractional composi-tion of crushed stone. The prerequisite for choosing the calculation scheme "screen-sieving material" is the determination of the vibrational movement of a material particle along a vibrating hard surface inclined to the horizon at an angle that carries out rectilinear oscillations at an angle to the plane of the screen. At the same time, weight, friction force and normal reaction act on the particle. The proposed model made it possible to determine the speed of transportation in the case when the screening screen performs a circular motion, which is the addition of two independent oscillations with different amplitudes and frequencies. The sorting process is significantly affected by the probability of grains passing through the holes of the sieve. This prob-ability depends on the size of passing particles, the dynamic parameters of screen vibrations, the design of the sieve, the shape of the sieve openings, the coefficient of the live section (the ratio of the area of the openings in the light to the total area of the sieve. The average speed of passage of particles through the sieve is determined by the frequency of contact of particles with the surface and the ratio of particle sizes and the hole. The frequency of particle contact with the sieve is affected by the amplitude and frequency of vibrations of the sieve surface. The probability of a particle passing through the sieve hole during one collision can be estimated based on the calculation charts.

OVERVIEW OF THE DESIGNS OF HINGED VIBRATION EXCITERS AND RESEARCH OF THEIR PARAMETERS AND THE FEASIBILITY OF THEIR USE ON VIBRATION PLATFORMS TO IMPROVE THE COMPACTING OF REINFORCED CONCRETE PRODUCTS
Authors: Nazarenko Ivan , Dedov Oleg , Dyachenko Oleksandr
Published: March 2024

Construction of buildings using prefabricated technology is increasingly used in Ukraine. In parallel with this, the list of ready-made reinforced concrete products, which are used in monolithic-frame and monolithic-prefabricated technologies, is expanding. Because of this, it becomes necessary to increase the number of lines for the production of ready-made reinforced concrete products and to use equipment that will allow to quickly adjust the production process depending on the change in the type and size of the final products. At the same time, the most responsible process is the compaction and formation of the concrete mixture using volumetric compaction technology on vibrating platforms of block or frame construction. Such installations are designed for the compaction of concrete mixtures in forms standardized by size and which do not fully meet the requirements of universality when changing the production program, ensuring high quality of finished products, and are characterized by significant energy consumption. One of the directions for solving the mentioned shortcomings is the creation of a vibration installation with attached vibration exciters and a variable mode of operation. Such an idea is ensured by the use of a vibrating installation in which the frame with a plate welded on top is directly the pallet on which the compaction process takes place. The dimensions of the future product are limited by the installation of sides and partitions on the pallet, which are fixed using magnetic fasteners, thanks to which it is possible to easily rearrange the installation for other standard sizes of panels. The use of attached vibration exciters, which are evenly spaced over the area of the forming plate, aims to improve the distribution of amplitudes in the volume of the concrete mixture, improve quality and reduce the time for compaction of the product. The work includes an overview of the existing designs of mounted vibration exciters, an analysis of their disadvantages and advantages, as well as technical parameters. Ac-cording to the obtained results, it was determined that planetary pneumatic vibrators have advantages in the amount of disturbing force that they are able to generate per unit of their own mass, higher indicators of dyna-mism criteria compared to electric and hydraulic centrifugal analogues. Pneumoplanetary vibration exciters are simple in design, reliable and allow adjusting the frequency of oscillations within certain limits without the use of additional devices.

It was determined as a result of the investigation that grey-cinnamonic soil of the central and coastal zones.In the research period the water samples were taken from the drain paasing through the edge of the experimental area selected in the massif, from the channel of the Takhtakorpu Reservoir and the soil section and mineralization was determined in it. It was defined that mineralization in the same water samples was 5,75 g/l (for dry residue); 0,58g/l in the channel, but 2,16 g/l in the soil section. The salt type is chlorine in drain, but it is chlorine-sulphatic in the channel and soil section.The groundwater spreading in the zones of the Khizi and Siyazan regions is sulphate- chlorine-na-trium, chlorine-sulphate-natrium for a chemical composition. The long-term researches indicated that a level of groundwater in the Khizi region changes 1-18m from the surface, but it accordingly changes by 0.5-16.5m and 0.3-8.5m. In small areas the groundwater level changes by 0.5-16.5m, but mineralization rate changes from 0.8g/l to 69.3g/l. The soil over three regions is exposed to chlorine-sulphate, sulphate-chlo-rine salinization.

Authors: Rostami Farzad , Yousefi Mohammad Hossein
Published: March 2024

Exposure to emergency e-learning has affected the psychological well-being of educational stockholders while also changing the view of people toward the identity of those involved in education. The present qualitative study aimed to investigate how teachers and parents perceived their psychological well-being after the students had to learn through online platforms. Accordingly, 21 participants were interviewed in 3 focus groups. The obtained data were analyzed by means of reflexive thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006; Braun, Clarke, Hayfield, & Terry, 2019). The results revealed four themes of _psychological impact, teacher realization, digital literacy, _and_ learners’ online behavior_. The findings also reflected the amount of stress and negative impact of the online courses on both teachers’ and parents’ feelings. The current study has some implications for educational policy-makers.
La subjetividad en Latinoamérica y el Caribe desde visiones críticas de pensamiento contemporáneo
Authors: Barrera Castañeda Claudia Fernanda
Published: March 2024

Este artículo se propone revisar la importancia de la subjetividad en Latinoamérica y el Caribe, para organizar una somera explicación de su configuración, con el fin de integrarla a nuestro contexto. A partir de pensadores europeos, se muestran paradigmas relacionales entre el sujeto y las formas simbólicas. Se presentan ciertos aspectos sobre la subjetividad, por un lado, desde Michel Foucault y Félix Guattari, para explicar lo que el sujeto valora y capta desde el exterior, es decir desde lo inculcado en los aprendizajes. Por otro lado, respecto de dos autores ligados a la hermenéutica simbólica: Édouard Glissant y Ernst Cassirer. Todo lo anterior tiene como fin cuestionar nuestras propias necesidades en la creación del imaginario, respecto de las conformaciones socioculturales y simbólicas. Al presentar las críticas y los diagnósticos entre estos autores y sus concepciones de pensamiento más significativas respecto de la subjetividad y el imaginario, se establecen relaciones entre nuestra América y Europa y se sugieren nuevos injertos que aporten a las metodologías de investigación.

Authors: López María Paz , Piñero Fernando Julio
Published: March 2024

El artículo busca aportar al estudio de la cooperación científico-tecnológica internacional desde y para América Latina. En éste, se organizan y exponen los aportes encontrados en la revisión de la literatura reciente en torno de distintas dimensiones que contribuyen a repensar las características y el rol de la cooperación científico-tecnológica en las naciones latinoamericanas. Tales aportes son las conceptualizaciones del desarrollo, las miradas sobre la cooperación internacional y la caracterización de los modos de producción de conocimientos. Estos aportes permiten reflexionar sobre diversos ejes de la cooperación científico-tecnológica internacional en América Latina. Así, se estudia para qué cooperar internacionalmente en materia científico-tecnológica, en el marco de las distintas concepciones de desarrollo; con quiénes cooperar en ciencia y tecnología en el ámbito internacional —cuestionando la asociación con contrapartes tradicionales y dando paso a relaciones más horizontales con socios alternativos— y cómo cooperar, a partir de organizaciones y actores emergentes en los nuevos modos de producción de conocimiento.
La pobreza en México, un estudio con Gráficas Dirigidas Acíclicas
Authors: Vera Sánchez Fernando
Published: March 2024

Siguiendo las explicaciones estructurales teóricas de las causas de la pobreza, en este documento se utiliza la técnica de Gráficas Dirigidas Acíclicas para identificar patrones de causalidad entre quince variables relacionadas con la pobreza para cada una de las treinta y dos entidades federativas en México. Los resultados muestran que la pobreza extrema es inmune a las políticas públicas y a las mejoras en la economía en general. La pobreza moderada puede reducirse solamente con políticas de apoyo al ingreso en el sector primario e impulsando la eficiencia de los negocios. Además, se demuestra que los modelos estadísticos con base en correlaciones simples no son adecuados para identificar políticas públicas que reduzcan la pobreza.

La Restauración Conservadora en América Latina
Authors: Vázquez Salazar Carlos Otto
Published: March 2024

En este artículo se hace una revisión del ascenso de las fuerzas conservadoras en los países de América Latina y el Caribe y se destaca el caso de Brasil. Se plantea que la emergencia de  estas fuerzas de derecha y ultra derecha se da en el marco de las nuevas formas de funcionamiento del capital a escala mundial, y que fue estimulada por los errores estratégicos de los gobiernos progresistas; por el fin de ciclo de los elevados precios de las commodities; y por la emergencia de grupos y fuerzas neoconservadoras a nivel global. Se presenta una caracterización de la derecha en la región y se propone la urgencia de articular las distintas luchas para enfrentar la ola conservadora y comenzar a inclinar la balanza en favor de las clases, grupos y sectores subalternos.
Violencia objetiva y subjetiva en dos cuentos de Emiliano Pérez Cruz
Authors: González Fernández Héctor Francisco , García Vázquez Víctor
Published: March 2024

A la par de los estudios enfocados a la literatura, es necesario realizar análisis literarios transdisciplinarios que abarquen los aspectos textuales desde las ciencias sociales. Desde el campo de las letras, Emiliano Pérez Cruz presenta una crítica y denuncia al sistema capitalista que provoca la marginación de los sujetos de clase baja o los sin-lugar. Los términos de violencia objetiva y subjetiva propuestos por Slavoj Zizek ayudarán a analizar la realidad de estos individuos, su periferia y su reclusión en la marginalidad producto de la misma sociedad a la que pertenecen. El objetivo de este es observar que la violencia objetiva, en sus formas sistémica y simbólica, determina la trayectoria de vida y el contexto social de los personajes principales, incluso más que la violencia subjetiva.

Along with studies focused on literature, it is necessary to carry out transdisciplinary literary analyzes that cover the textual aspects from the social sciences. From the field of letters, Emiliano Pérez Cruz presents a critique and denunciation of the capitalist system that provokes the marginalization of the subjects of the lower class or the non-place. The terms of objective and subjective violence proposed by Slavoj Zizek will help to analyze the reality of these individuals, their periphery and their seclusion in the periphery product of the same society to which they belong. The objective of this is to observe that objective violence, in its systemic and symbolic forms, determines the trajectory of life and the social context of the main characters, even more than subjective violence.
2016, el megafraude electoral en México
Authors: Schmidt Samuel , Lopez Jorge
Published: March 2024

 En 2016 se articuló un fraude electoral en cinco estados mexicanos. Las razones del fraude fueron debidas a un conflicto inter partidista en el PRI en la batalla por la nominación presidencial de 2018 y para cumplir con el compromiso presidencial para pagar por el voto de la oposición a favor de la reforma energética.

Para estudiar el fraude se mezcló la etnografía, el análisis político y se aplicaron varios métodos estadísticos que mostraron la anomalía electoral en los cinco estados: el conteo acumulado de votos (CVT), las distribuciones de votos por casilla en número y en porcentaje, y la prueba de Hartigan de bi-modalidad.

Este tipo de estudio es poco común en la ciencia política y representa un esfuerzo de colaboración poco común entre un físico y un polítologo.

Se comprobó el fraude en cinco de los seis estados en competencia en 2016.

The relationship between organizational commitment and job satisfaction in Missouri public school teachers in 2023
Authors:   , Beevor Amy Elizabeth
Published: March 2024

Teacher recruitment and retention is a pressing issue in Missouri schools, and an increased understanding of why teachers are committed to their school districts may improve the efforts to remedy this problem. This quantitative study investigated the relationship between the organizational commitment and job satisfaction of K-12 public school teachers in Missouri in 2023. Teachers were surveyed on their level of job satisfaction using the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, and organizational commitment was measured using the Three-Component Model Employee Commitment Survey (TCM). In a sample of 342 teachers, the overall level of job satisfaction was near "satisfied." Teachers were least satisfied with their pay and the way policies were put into practice and were most satisfied with their job security and opportunities to assist others. The TCM examines three domains of commitment: affective (AC), normative (NC), and continuance (CC). In this study, the domain with the highest commitment score was AC, followed by CC, and lastly, NC, showing that teachers were committed to their school district because of desire or necessity rather than obligation. The relationship between teachers' job satisfaction and their commitment profile was measured with a chi-square test. The fully committed and AC-NC-dominant profiles were more likely to be "very satisfied" than "satisfied" or "somewhat satisfied" with their jobs. The AC-CC profile was more likely to be "satisfied" than "somewhat satisfied"; the CC-dominant profile was more likely to be "somewhat satisfied" than "very satisfied"; and the uncommitted profile was more likely to be "somewhat satisfied" than either "satisfied" or "very satisfied." Further research on the benefits of various commitment profiles in public school teachers may improve teacher retention.

The purpose of this study is to build on previous research by exploring how parent-child relationship quality influences emerging adult reports of attachment anxiety and avoidance. However, the relationships between a child and their caregiver do not exist in isolation. Due to the interconnected nature of family relationships, it is likely that the relationships between siblings, biological parents, and stepparents will all collectively impact the development of the caregiver-child relationship and subsequently their reports of attachment anxiety and avoidance. Thus, the purpose of this study is to (a) explore how parent-child relationship quality influence emerging adult attachment and (b) examine how family relationships, such as those between siblings and parents, might impact reports of parent-child relationship quality.
Protein-ion binding site prediction using deep learning

Published: March 2024

More than 50 percent of proteins bind to ions and these interactions are essential for various biological functions such as enzymatic catalysis, structural stability, signal transduction, protein function modulation, and gene expression, among others. De- termining protein-ion binding sites not only helps to infer the protein's function but identifying the precise binding site can also elucidate the mechanism with which it carries out its intended function. Such knowledge can offer insight into how pharma- ceutical compounds can enhance or inhibit this function thereby providing valuable guidance for medical interventions. This PhD has resulted in the creation of two novel deep learning tools - one which is sequence-based and the other which is structure-based for identifying ion binding sites of nine biologically significant ions in humans (Zn2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Na+, K+, CO32?,SO42?,PO43?, and NO2?). Both tools are standalone applications and are designed for command-line execution. Impressively, they both outperform existing state-of-the-art tools by delivering prediction outcomes in min- utes. Moreover, they achieved over 20 percent improvement in F1 score and MCC across all the ions.

Authors:   , Johnston Rob'yn Alicia
Published: March 2024

The proposed dissertation follows a three article format. The articles are distinct, but each pertains to the same subject of research. The first article applies structural equation modeling to factors influencing bone functional morphology in modern humans. The second article continues to analyze the role of the two primary drivers of bone functional morphology in humans, body mass and lean mass, in a cadaveric sample. The third article applies bone functional morphology to a novel field of analysis, that of deer body mass estimation in zooarchaeology. All three pieces focus on the role of body mass, body mass estimation, and the role they play in bone functional adaptation.
Going, going...but not yet gone counter-storytelling the socialization of African American college baseball players
Authors:   , Lewis Kendall Joseph
Published: March 2024

Higher education is key to accessing pathways toward upward mobility. Combining strong academic preparation and athletic skill provides opportunities for secondary students to access higher education as student-athletes. For African American males, the academic and athletic combination has produced a college sports landscape where they account for nearly half of the higher education student athletes in two of three major sports. These student athletes are utilizing academics and athletics to access higher education and opportunities for upward mobility through participation in football and basketball. Baseball is the third major sport in America and African American males represent less than 5 percent of college participants. Major League Baseball recognizes the lack of African American representation in baseball and has expressed a desire to reverse this worsening phenomenon. The dominant discourse states that economics and lack of interest are key factors in the low rate of African American participation in baseball. The economic and lack of interest perspectives do not include the opinions of African American college baseball players. This study utilizes Critical Race Theory and Narrative Inquiry (Critical Race Narrative Inquiry) to centralize the voices and experiences of African American males along their journey to access higher education through participation in baseball. These voices provide an informed counter-narrative to the disinterest perspective, define the impact of racism on their journey, and detail strategies for African American males to successfully access higher education through participation in baseball.
Lippmann's legacy : the evolution of electrowetting and its impact on wettability
Authors:   , Pham Robin
Published: March 2024

In this dissertation, we venture beyond the traditional frameworks of electrowetting to establish a systematized approach to understanding and manipulating fluid surfaces under the influence of electrical forces. Our primary objective is to bridge the gap between the empirical methodologies that have long dominated the field and the visionary theoretical underpinnings laid down by early pioneers like Lippmann. By rekindling these foundational theories and aligning them with contemporary advancements, we pave the way for electrowetting to evolve from a niche specialty into a robust scientific discipline and a cornerstone of technological innovation. We introduce the concept of "dynamic wettability," a holistic perspective that views the wettability of a surface as an adaptable trait, one that evolves in real-time with the shape and charge dynamics of a conductive liquid droplet. This paradigm shift, grounded in the careful reinterpretation of Lippmann's original equations, allows for a more nuanced understanding of electrowetting phenomena. Our methodology, which synthesizes classical electrocapillarity and modern computational simulations, illuminates the dynamic interplay between electrostatic and surface free energies, providing a comprehensive framework for analyzing electrowetting setups. The findings of this research are profound, revealing the inherent universality and invariance of electrowetting contact angle saturation across various configurations. This universal behavior, long observed but not fully understood, is captured through our approach with unprecedented clarity. By re-embracing Lippmann's theories within a modern context, we unlock new potentials for electrowetting technology, demonstrating its broad applicability and the capacity for predictive modeling in design and experimentation. The implications of this work are far-reaching. By establishing a more systematic method for characterizing and designing electrowetting systems, we set the stage for a future where electrowetting can mature into a refined technology with diverse applications. This dissertation not only serves as an academic treatise but also as a guidebook for future researchers and entrepreneurs. It aims to catalyze a paradigm shift in how electrowetting is understood, taught, and applied, fostering an environment where innovation is guided by a clear, scientifically grounded methodology.
Hospital nurse managers' perceived use of dashboards for quality and performance improvement
Authors:   , Young Lisa G
Published: March 2024

Quality and patient safety are ongoing concerns affecting hospital patient outcomes. Dashboards are one tool often used for monitoring and benchmarking performance so healthcare leaders and clinicians can identify areas for improvement. While dashboards are widely used in hospitals, little is known about dashboard use by hospital nurse managers. This descriptive qualitative study aimed to characterize hospital nurse managers' perceived use of dashboards and the factors influencing dashboard use for unit quality and performance improvement focused on improving patient outcomes. Eleven hospital nurse managers (9 females and 2 males with managerial experience ranging from less than 1 year to over 15 years) were interviewed from one health system consisting of 11 hospitals serving a metropolitan city and surrounding areas of the Midwestern United States. Thematic analysis was used to identify two major themes: Manager as Quality Improvement (QI) Leader and Influencers of Dashboard Use. Managers used dashboards to support and increase the visibility of unit performance. Perceived factors influencing dashboard use included external, personal, data, and technology features. Findings from this study suggest dashboards should be simple, easy-to-use, useful, accurate, and timely so hospital nurse managers can effectively communicate, engage, and support staff in unit quality and performance improvement initiatives. Future research should focus on developing and testing designs that address the needs and influencing factors of dashboard use so hospital nurse managers can continue to effectively impact patient outcomes.
Highly efficient cryopreservation of a model neuroendocrine cell using polysaccharide-based cryoprotectants
Authors:   , Hammond Gail Denise
Published: March 2024

[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] Adrenal chromaffin cells are an excellent tool for studying exocytosis of transmitter as well as endocytosis and other membrane transport-related processes. However, cultured chromaffin cells have a limited lifetime in culture, thus improvement of the efficiency in cryopreservation of these cells is of practical value. In this study, we investigated the efficiency of cryopreserving chromaffin cells by using a modified version of the commercially available cryoprotective medium, C80EZ[trademark], which prevents ice recrystallization and minimizes ice crystal size based on the use of polysaccharide (Ficoll 70, component A) and a glycosaminoglycan antioxidant (Chondroitin Sulfate A, component B). With the addition of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to C80EZ[trademark] medium, chromaffin cells can be stored at liquid nitrogen temperatures (-196 degreesC) as well as at - 80 degreesC for many months. Doubling the concentration of the glycosaminoglycan ("A2B") gives the best cell survivability rate in studies to date. In particular, after 6 months at - 196 degreesC, A2B resulted in 67 + 3.2 percent (mean + SEM, N=12) viability, whereas storage at -80 degreesC resulted in 61 + 1.4 percent (N=34) cell viability compared to 22 + 3.9 and 29 + 2.5 for freezing at -196 degreesC and at -80 degreesC, respectively, for paired control cells (chromaffin cell culture media with 10 percent DMSO, p < 0.001 percent). TEM imaging demonstrated that cryopreserved chromaffin cells have a normal-appearing morphology whereas amperometric recordings demonstrated intact quantal exocytosis in response to depolarization. Therefore, the use of modified C80EZ[trademark] offers a promisingly efficient and practically convenient cryopreservation option for neuroendocrine cells.
