Design of algorithm for creation of modular lines of specialpurpose machines in the automotive industry
Authors: Galík J , Kohár R , Capák T 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This article deals with modularity of special-purpose machines in the automotive industry. The Slovak economy, by its interconnection to engineering and most to the automotive industry, often solves the lowest costs, whether in the sphere of production or in the field of assembly. This question is associated with the question of special-purpose machines. The design and specificity of each such device results in high development and construction costs. It is important to mention the modularity that is very often used in the design of such devices. Due to the large variability of the automotive environment, it is a big prerequisite for the future rebuilding of equipment, which is usually expensive and time consuming. By looking for connections and bonds between elements, can be created some modules. By creating a modular construction of the device, it is possible, if a requirement comes, to reconfigure the device and prepare it for new production requirements, respectively. Certain algorithms and procedures are needed to design such devices and utilize the modular arrangement of the device. By creating such modular lines, whether in assembly or in production, we are able to save energy, work and money.
Model of "short cycles" as innovative product development
Authors: Gromova E A 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The fourth industrial revolution is a phenomenon that is actively becoming a reality and that initiates a change in the strategic guidelines of industrial enterprises. The previous strategic indicators such as scale of production, cost and quality have been replaced by a value system such as rapid response, flexibility, disruptive innovation and speed. Organization of production in today's reality has an important characteristic, reflecting the concentration at the stage of product development. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to offer effective product development concept in the context of reducing time to market. The concept of the model of «short cycles» is considered. The example of implementing this model in PJSC Severstal, which is the flagship of the Russian industry, is analyzed. The company has launched a global transformation, one of the points of which is the provision of excellent customer experience. Its implementation requires innovative and effective product development models, such as the model of "short cycles", which has already brought initial success to the company.

Toward a sustainable mobility: A solar vehicle for a new quality of life
Authors: Minak G , Lukovic M , Maglio S , Kojic S 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The vehicular mobility causes 15% of greenhouse gases emission: one million tons of carbon anhydrite per hour. In addition, it produces CO, NOx, fine powders, carcinogenic and mutagenic elements: these substances will disappear in the presence of solar vehicles. And solar mobility would also mitigate indirect effects: fuel used to transport fuel, energy for the distillation of hydrocarbons, gas leaks, even fracking, explosions, rivers and oceans. In contrast, electric and hybrid vehicles do not allow this improvement in the quality of life. In almost all modern countries, the energy mix is strongly unbalanced towards fossil fuels: massive electrification would not make mobility sustainable, but rather risks worsening its effect on the environment by shifting the problem of emissions from cities to power plants. The Sun, indeed, can guarantee long-term sustainable mobility: for every circulating solar vehicle CO2 production is really zero. From July to today, our solar racing car has travelled 3000 km, avoiding to emit half a ton of CO2: reporting these data to a conventional use, each solar vehicle would avoid the release of 1.5 tons of CO2 per year: like planting 10 large trees for each month in our garden. This study describes how to transform a solar super-car into an ordinary vehicle for urban and everyday mobility.
First assessment on suspension parameter optimization for a solar – powered vehicle
Authors: Sorrentino S , De Felice A , Grosso P , Minak G 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Optimization of suspension parameters with respect to comfort and road holding is a challenging issue for solar–powered cars, due to in–wheel electric engines on very light vehicles, carrying payloads which can exceed their total mass. The solar–powered car considered in this study was designed and manufactured for racing by the University of Bologna; with a mass of 300 kg and a payload of 320 kg due to four occupants, using 5 m2 of monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic panel on the roof, 64 kg of lithium–ion batteries and two electric engines coupled directly to the rear wheels, it can achieve either a range of 600 km at cruising speed, or velocity peaks of 120 km/h. In this contribution, equivalent vertical stiffness and equivalent damping coefficients are optimized for both axles, achieving results that in terms of comfort and road holding are comparable to those of standard passenger cars.
Sequential deposition method of TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3 films for solar cell application
Authors: Oliveira A E R T P , Bonatto F , Alves A K , Fragassa C 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Seeking to study innovative solar cell compositions with the goal to reach the highest energy efficiency level attainable, the aim of this study was to develop a route to obtain a solar cell composed by hybrid perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) using a sequential deposition method through the techniques of spin-coating and immersion. Initially, the deposition of PbI2 thin film of was performed on a FTO/glass substrate coated with TiO2, which was subsequently converted into perovskite crystals through spin coating using a CH3NH3I solution. The influence of the PbI2 layer thickness on the formation of CH3NH3PbI3 crystals was evaluated. The hydrophilic characteristic of TiO2 affects the distribution of the crystals nucleation sites, since PbI2 possesses a non-polar liquid characteristic. The characterization of the perovskite thin films showed that thickness affects directly the bandgap and the surface morphology, revealing the presence of dendritic structures and acicular crystals. Both growth and coverage increased for thinner layers of PbI2. It was also possible to observe an increased uniformity in the film for smaller PbI2 layers.
Innovation in solar vehicles: From concept to prototype in less than 24 months
Authors: Maglio S , Lukovic M , Zavatta N , Leardini A 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The present article describes the integrated path used for the conceptual, functional and constructive design of an exclusive multi-occupant solar-powered vehicle. The project was based on the massive implementation of concurrent engineering and quality tools, rarely used in such an integrated way, featuring a novel and attractive design, 3D CAD modelling, structural and fluid dynamics validations, in-scale rapid prototyping, functional tests, multi-objective optimization, parts manufacturing and assembly. Thanks to this approach, the solar car prototype presented high technological contents, especially in terms of materials, structures and processes. Furthermore, large CNC-machined multi-material molds and hybrid manufacturing solutions were adopted to speed up the production phase allowing to move from the initial concept to the final prototype within 24 months. Since June 2018, the solar vehicle is on the road transporting 4 people, weighing less than 300kg, reaching speeds of 120km/h and able to travel hundreds of kilometers with zero-emission and no fuel consumption.
Model-based clustering of multi-tissue gene expression data
Authors: Erola Pau , Björkegren Johan L M , Michoel Tom 
Published: October 2019

Abstract

Motivation
Recently, it has become feasible to generate large-scale, multi-tissue gene expression data, where expression profiles are obtained from multiple tissues or organs sampled from dozens to hundreds of individuals. When traditional clustering methods are applied to this type of data, important information is lost, because they either require all tissues to be analyzed independently, ignoring dependencies and similarities between tissues, or to merge tissues in a single, monolithic dataset, ignoring individual characteristics of tissues.

Results
We developed a Bayesian model-based multi-tissue clustering algorithm, revamp, which can incorporate prior information on physiological tissue similarity, and which results in a set of clusters, each consisting of a core set of genes conserved across tissues as well as differential sets of genes specific to one or more subsets of tissues. Using data from seven vascular and metabolic tissues from over 100 individuals in the STockholm Atherosclerosis Gene Expression (STAGE) study, we demonstrate that multi-tissue clusters inferred by revamp are more enriched for tissue-dependent protein-protein interactions compared to alternative approaches. We further demonstrate that revamp results in easily interpretable multi-tissue gene expression associations to key coronary artery disease processes and clinical phenotypes in the STAGE individuals.

Governing Through Relationship: A Positive Critique of School Social Work Practice in Post-Earthquake, Christchurch, New Zealand
Authors: Tudor Raewyn 
Published: October 2019

AbstractThis article outlines some findings from an inquiry undertaken in the aftermath of 2011 earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, in which positive critique was used to examine the practice accounts of twelve school social workers alongside characteristics of recovery policies. Consistent with Foucault’s (1988, 2003a,b, 2013a) mode of critique and his theorisation of biopolitics and pastoral power, positive critique recognises the multiplicity and productivity of contemporary power relations operating at the populational, collective and individual levels of life. A feature of the participants’ accounts of their practices with affected schoolchildren in the recovery space is their commitment to restoring and protecting their clients’ well-being through therapeutically inclined relational practice. The Christchurch earthquake recovery strategy also sets out the provision of specialised, individual assistance for vulnerable populations excluded from ‘normal’ psychosocial recovery processes because of their inability to participate in community self-help initiatives. The findings presented in this article provide a critical space for social workers to reflect on the dimensions of their relational work that function as therapeutic governance practices that can both strengthen and resist the normative notions of vulnerability and recovering well.
SEPT7 Interacts with KIF20A and Regulates the Proliferative State of Neural Progenitor Cells During Cortical Development
Authors: Qiu Runxiang , Runxiang Qiu , Geng Anqi , Liu Jiancheng , Xu C Wilson , Menon Manoj B , Gaestel Matthias , Lu Qiang 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Balanced proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) are critical for brain development, but how the process is regulated and what components of the cell division machinery is involved are not well understood. Here we report that SEPT7, a cell division regulator originally identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, interacts with KIF20A in the intercellular bridge of dividing NPCs and plays an essential role in maintaining the proliferative state of NPCs during cortical development. Knockdown of SEPT7 in NPCs results in displacement of KIF20A from the midbody and early neuronal differentiation. NPC-specific inducible knockout of Sept7 causes early cell cycle exit, precocious neuronal differentiation, and ventriculomegaly in the cortex, but surprisingly does not lead to noticeable cytokinesis defect. Our data uncover an interaction of SEPT7 and KIF20A during NPC divisions and demonstrate a crucial role of SEPT7 in cell fate determination. In addition, this study presents a functional approach for identifying additional cell fate regulators of the mammalian brain.

Abstract

Background
ESBL and plasmid-mediated AmpC (pAmpC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae are frequently found on meat products in Dutch retail, especially on poultry.

Objectives
We investigated whether vegetarians are at lower risk of carrying ESBL/pAmpC-producing Escherichia coli/Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-E/K) compared with persons who consume meat.

Methods
Vegetarians, pescatarians (vegetarians who eat fish) and non-vegetarians (persons who eat meat at least three times per week) were asked to send in a faecal sample and a questionnaire. ESBL-E/K were cultured and MLSTs were determined. ESBL/pAmpC genes were analysed using PCR and sequencing. The risk of ESBL-E/K carriage in the three study groups was analysed using multivariable logistic regression.

Results
Prevalence of ESBL-E/K carriage was 8.0% in vegetarians (63/785; 95% CI 6.3–10.1), 6.9% in pescatarians (27/392; 95% CI 4.8–9.8) and 3.8% in non-vegetarians (14/365; 95% CI 2.3–6.3). Multivariable analysis showed an OR for ESBL-E/K carriage of 2.2 for vegetarians (95% CI 1.2–4.0) and 1.6 for pescatarians (95% CI 0.8–3.2) compared with non-vegetarians. The predominant MLST was E. coli ST131 and the most common ESBL genes were blaCTX-M-15, blaCTX-M-27, blaCTX-M-14 and blaCTX-M-1 in all diet groups. Independent risk factors for ESBL-E/K carriage were travel to Africa/Latin America/Asia (OR 4.6; 95% CI 2.8–7.7) in the past 6 months and rarely/never washing hands before food preparation (OR 2.5; 95% CI 1.2–5.0).

Conclusions
Vegetarians and pescatarians did not have a lower risk of ESBL-E/K carriage compared with non-vegetarians, indicating that eating meat is not an important risk factor for ESBL-E/K carriage.
Screening Breast Ultrasound Using Handheld or Automated Technique in Women with Dense Breasts
Authors: Berg Wendie A , Vourtsis Athina 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
In women with dense breasts (heterogeneously or extremely dense), adding screening ultrasound to mammography increases detection of node-negative invasive breast cancer. Similar incremental cancer detection rates averaging 2.1–2.7 per 1000 have been observed for physician- and technologist-performed handheld ultrasound (HHUS) and automated ultrasound (AUS). Adding screening ultrasound (US) for women with dense breasts significantly reduces interval cancer rates. Training is critical before interpreting examinations for both modalities, and a learning curve to achieve optimal performance has been observed. On average, about 3% of women will be recommended for biopsy on the prevalence round because of screening US, with a wide range of 2%–30% malignancy rates for suspicious findings seen only on US. Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System 3 lesions identified only on screening HHUS can be safely followed at 1 year rather than 6 months. Computer-aided detection and diagnosis software can augment performance of AUS and HHUS; ongoing research on machine learning and deep learning algorithms will likely improve outcomes and workflow with screening US.
Educated and Engaged Communicators Are Critical to Successful Integrated Pest Management Adoption
Authors: Gott Ryan C , Coyle David R 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Integrated pest management (IPM) programs combining multiple compatible pest control tactics can result in effective commodity protection, pesticide use reduction, and cost savings – yet establishment of IPM programs is still low in many areas of the United States. While several potential causes of and solutions to low adoption rates exist, our focus is on the often-neglected human aspect of IPM. IPM educators who serve as the conduit of IPM research and advice to IPM practitioners often face challenges in areas that are less scientific and more social, such as communication and teaching. The skills needed in these areas (e.g., conflict management and resolution, needs assessment, negotiation, training, and informal education) are sometimes neglected in the professional development of future IPM educators, to the detriment of their ability to work with practitioners to encourage adoption of IPM programs. We explore these challenges, including a survey of current IPM educators, and propose areas of communication skills that could be included in the professional development of future or early-career IPM educators.
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion in the Outpatient Ambulatory Surgery Setting: Analysis of 2000 Consecutive Cases
Authors: McGirt Matthew J , Rossi Vincent , Peters David , Dyer Hunter , Coric Domagoj , Asher Anthony L , Pfortmiller Deborah , Adamson Tim 
Published: October 2019

Abstract

BACKGROUND
In an effort to improve efficiency of care, ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) have emerged as lower-cost options. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is one of the most prevalent spine surgeries performed and rarely requires overnight stays in the hospital, supporting its migration to the ASC. Recent analyses have called into question the safety of outpatient ACDF, potentially slowing its adoption. ASC-ACDF studies have largely been limited to small series, precluding an accurate assessment of safety.

OBJECTIVE
To analyze 2000 ASC-ACDF cases, describe patient selection and perioperative protocol, and report associated safety profile.

METHODS
A total of 2000 patients who underwent 1 to 3 level ACDF in a single ASC from 2006 to 2018 were included in this retrospective analysis. Patients were observed in a 4-h postanesthesia care unit (PACU) with a multimodal pain management regiment. Data were collected on patient demographics, comorbidities, operative details, and 30- and 90-d morbidity.

RESULTS
Of the 2000 patients, 10 (0.5%) required transfer to an inpatient setting within the 4-h observation. Reasons for transfer included hematoma (2), pain control (2), cerebrospinal fluid leak (1), and medical complications (5). Six patients (0.3%) underwent reoperation within 30 d. All-cause 30-d readmission was 1.9%.

CONCLUSION
An analysis of 2000 ACDF patients in an ASC setting with a standardized perioperative protocol demonstrates that surgical complications occur at a low rate (<1%) and can be appropriately diagnosed and managed in a 4-h PACU. In an effort to decrease healthcare costs, surgeons can safely perform ACDFs in an ASC utilizing patient selection criteria and perioperative management protocols similar to those reported here.
Treatment of HER2+ metastatic salivary ductal carcinoma in a pregnant woman: a case report
Authors: Bergamini Cristiana , Cavalieri Stefano , Sanguineti Giuseppe , Farneti Alessia , Licitra Lisa 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with a high mortality and poor response to treatment in the advanced setting. Human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) can be amplified in a fraction of SDC. We describe the case of HER2+ metastatic SDC of the submandibular gland in a young pregnant woman treated by multimodal treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted therapy). During pregnancy, a 27-year-old woman developed SDC of the left submandibular gland with lung and bone metastases. Given the HER2 overexpression, she was treated with trastuzumab, paclitaxel and cisplatin. Since the tumor had arisen during pregnancy, triptorelin was administered after delivery. A complete remission was observed, and after eight cycles of chemotherapy, radiotherapy was started in association with trastuzumab and triptorelin. A prolonged disease control and complete visceral remission were observed. Multimodal therapy based on patient’s tumor characteristics showed good clinical efficacy in the treatment of metastatic SDC.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
Recently, there have been increasing opportunities to treat patients with peripheral arterial disease. Of those patients, both pathological conditions, such as acute limb ischemia (ALI) and chronic critical limb ischemia (CLI), are closely associated with high risks of major amputation, disability and death. We encountered a very rare case of CLI subsequent to ALI. An 83-year-old male showed the sudden onset of ALI, probably due to thromboembolism from an abdominal aortic aneurysm during an operation for gastric cancer. The patient was referred to another hospital for Fogarty thrombectomy. About 1 month after ALI onset, necrosis of the left first toe gradually progressed. On angiography of the left lower limb, we noted occlusions of both anterior and posterior tibial arteries. Then, we successfully conducted balloon angioplasty for the below-the-knee arteries. Thereby, favorable blood flow was achieved, which led to successful wound healing without amputations.
