Authors: Nwanjika CO , Onuegbu CU , Amaefule DO 
Published: June 2021

Afzelia Africana seeds were subjected to quasi-static parallel plate compression test, using Monsanto Tensometer. The loading orientations were horizontal, vertical and edge-to-edge loading positions at four different moisture content levels of 10.6%, 12.8%, 15.2% and 18.4% wet basis (wb). Slight variations were observed in the means of the physical characteristics at varying moisture content in the range of 10.6% to 18.4%. Loading position was shown to have significant effect on all the mechanical properties studied. The rupture force increased with increase in moisture content in horizontal and vertical loading but did not show consistent trend in variation when loaded on the edges. This value was 155.68N for vertical loading, 139.27 N for horizontal loading and 81.0 N for edge-to-edge loading. Hardness ranged from 6.97 to 6.92 N/mm for horizontal loading, 6.92 to 6.67N/mm for edge-loading and 6.99 to 6.93N/mm for vertical loading respectively in the moisture content range of 10.6 to 18.4% for all cases. Rupture energy varied from 104 to 416.33 N-mm on horizontal loading, 59.96to 241.82 on edge-loading and 190.125 to 419.171 Nmm on vertical loading respectively for the same range of moisture content. Toughness varied from 43.758 to 8.865 N-m/mm, 23.563 to 5.370 and 44.667 to 16.349 N-m/mmÂ for horizontal loading, edge-edge orientation, and vertical loading respectively,Â for moisture content range of 10.6 to 18.4%.Modulusof Elasticity dropped from 35.657 to 28.133 N/mm2 for horizontal loading, from 51.443 to 14.59 for edge-to-edge loading and 38.087 to 41.04 N/mm2for vertical loading in the range of moisture content of 10.6 to 18.4% respectively. The data generated in this study can be applied when estimating the energy and force needed for shelling the seeds and in making useful suggestions on the loading condition that will demand the least energy for the operation and shelling. The physical properties are also useful in process design and analysis.Â Â http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/njt.v36i3.42

Authors: Onochie UP , Obanor AI , Aliu SA , Igbodaro OO 
Published: June 2021

This study carried out an investigation on the proximate and ultimate analysis of fuel pellets from oil palm residues such as palm kernel shell, PKS, palm fibre, PF and empty fruit bunch, EFB using the ASTM standards. The results obtained were compared. The percentage moisture content of the pellets, PKS, PF and EFB were 9.68%, 10.77%, 12.07% respectively. This is significantly lower than the percentage moisture content of the raw residues given as 10.23%, 11.10% and 15.01% respectively. High volatile matter content in the fuel pellets indicates that there would be ease of ignition during combustion. The results also show that the pellets have a lower ash content of 0.69%, 3.69% and 3.72% as against that of the raw residues, which is 3.24%, 7.90% and 4.48% respectively. There was really no significant reduction in emission of sulphur gases between the fuel pellets and the raw residues except for the Palm Fibre, PF, pellets and raw residues that varies. Essentially, from the general results obtained from the analysis, it can be deduced that pellets are more suitable for boilers in steam power plants. Â http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/njt.v36i3.44

Authors: Gür Kabul Elif , Keskin Aylin , Demir Pervin , Başakcı Çalık Bilge , Çobankara Veli 
Published: May 2021

Objectives: This study aims to assess the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Sjögren Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI) (TR) in patients with primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS).
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional survey study design and analysis were used to assess the reliability and validity of the ESSPRI (TR) between March 2019 and July 2019. A total of 30 patients (5 males, 25 females; mean age 54.1±10.5 years; range, 18 to 75 years) diagnosed as pSS according to revised American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/EULAR classification criteria were included. ESSPRI (TR) was applied to the patients with face-to-face interviews twice: on their first visit and after an interval of 15 days. The test-retest reliability was assessed with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and the internal consistency of the multi-item subscales by calculating Cronbach alpha values. The correlations between basal and stimulated salivary flow (BSF and SSF), Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life-UK (OHRQOL-UK) questionnaires were evaluated to determine the construct validity.
Results: The ICC value for the test/retest reliability of ESSPRI (TR) was 0.925. The internal consistency was 0.682. There were low to moderate correlations between the ESSPRI (TR) total score and BSF (-0.39), SSF (-0.50), OHIP-14 total (0.57) and OHRQOL-UK total (-0.67).
Conclusion: The Turkish version of the ESSPRI was found to be clinically valid and reliable to be used in clinical evaluations and rehabilitation interventions in patients with pSS.

Published: May 2021

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate demographic, clinical, and radiological characteristics of Turkish children with chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis.
Patients and methods: Between January 2008 and December 2018, a total of 28 patients (10 males, 18 females; median age: 12.5 years; range, 4.5 to 21 years) who were diagnosed with chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis in three pediatric rheumatology centers were retrospectively analyzed. The demographic, clinical, and laboratory findings of the patients were recorded.
Results: The median age at the time of diagnosis was 10.2 years. The median time from symptom onset to diagnosis was 6.5 months. The median follow-up was 18.5 months. The most frequent symptom at onset was arthralgia (75.0%). The most frequently involved bone was the femur (67.9%). Eight (63.6%) of 12 patients had at least one Mediterranean fever gene (MEFV) mutation, indicating a significantly higher prevalence than the Turkish population (14.8%). Five of these patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). All patients received non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Other drugs were methotrexate (46.4%), sulfasalazine (39%), corticosteroids (25%), anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents (32%), pamidronate (25%), and colchicine (21.4%). Six of eight patients with MEFV mutations were administered with colchicine, and all of them responded to treatment.
Conclusion: Clinical evolution and imaging investigations should be carefully performed to prevent any delay in the diagnosis of patients with chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis. Based on our study results, FMF coexistence is worth investigating in patients with chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis, particularly in the Turkish population.
Evaluating various radiographic methods of shoulder joint damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs
Authors: Sugimori Kazuhito , Matsushita Isao , Kimura Tomoatsu 
Published: May 2021

Objectives: This study aims to clarify shoulder joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis patients receiving biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) and the relationship between joint damage and clinical factors.
Patients and methods: In this retrospective study conducted between April 2005 and December 2008, 36 shoulders in 19 patients (2 males, 17 females; mean age: 58.9 years; range 42 to 75 years) were evaluated at baseline and two years after the initiation of bDMARD therapy with infliximab (n=14) or etanercept (n=5). Standard anteroposterior radiographs of the shoulder joints were taken at baseline and two years after institution of biological therapy. Structural damage in the shoulder joints was assessed using the Larsen scoring method, the medial displacement index (MDI), and the upward migration index (UMI).
Results: There was a significant correlation between MDI, UMI, and Larsen grade before biological therapy. Univariate analysis revealed that the disease activity score 28-count erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) at baseline (odds ratio [OR]: 4.298) was associated with progression of MDI. But multivariate logistic regression revealed that there was no association with the progression of MDI. Univariate analysis revealed that ESR at baseline (OR: 0.967) and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) at baseline (OR: 0.996) were associated with the progression of UMI. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that MMP-3 at baseline (OR: 0.994) was independently associated with the progression of UMI.
Conclusion: Medial displacement index and UMI correlated with the Larsen grade of the shoulder joint strongly and moderately, respectively. This study suggests that MDI and UMI may help to evaluate radiographic progression of damage in shoulder joints in patients on bDMARDs, which is difficult to detect using the Larsen grade.

Authors: Aydın Tufan Müge , Tekkarışmaz Nihan 
Published: May 2021

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify predictors of mortality in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) patients and to seek the ways of improving survival in GPA patients.
Patients and methods: Between January 2005 and June 2020, a total of 60 patients (26 males, 34 females; median age: 49 years; range, 19 to 75 years) who were diagnosed with GPA were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings of all patients were recorded. Survival rates were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier plot.
Results: The median follow-up was 36 months, and 10 (16.7%) patients died during the study period. Univariate analysis showed that the prognostic values were attributed to high serum creatinine levels (>2.1 mg/dL; p=0.01), proteinuria (p=0.01), dialysis-requiring renal damage at the time of diagnosis (p=0.01) or at any time during follow-up (p=0.01), low lymphocyte levels (p=0.01), hypoalbuminemia (p=0.04), absence of upper respiratory tract involvement (p=0.01), presence of lung involvement with cavitary lesions (p=0.01), high Birmingham Vascular Activity Score (p=0.02), and history of serious infection (p=0.01). In the multivariate analysis, the presence of renal damage requiring dialysis at any time during follow-up (relative risk [95% confidence interval]: 21 [4.1-18.3]; p=0.01) was found to be an independent predictor of mortality. Immunosuppressive drugs exerted no effect on mortality, and the most common causes of death were infections (50%).
Conclusion: The presence of dialysis-requiring renal damage is the most important risk factor for mortality in GPA patients. These patients should be followed more closely and carefully to improve survival.

First World War: Origins and Consequences (World-Historical Context)
Authors: Shmorgun O. 
Published: June 2021

The article analyzes the peculiarities of changing socio-economic leadership at the end of the nineteenth century. It is shown that Britain`s lag behind its rivals in foreign markets is associated withthe transition to an extensive algorithm for the existence of the largest empire in the world, the homeland of the industrial revolution, its reorientation to financially usurious mechanisms forobtaining super-profits, an indicator of the beginning of the stadial-civilizational decline of the classical bourgeois formation. It is shown that Germany, which in our time continues to be consideredthe main culprit for World War I, during this period, receives competitive advantages, first of all, by forcing an innovative component of its development, due to the election of a fundamentally different,relative to the Anglo-Saxon, model of the postсapitalist type of social order. It is important that on the basis of similar principles of the new social system in the twentieth century, a number of developedcountries of the East and West have made an economic miracle. It has been proved that the sources of antagonism between the most powerful geopolitical players that led to the Great War are due not so much to the so-called colonial redistribution of the world, but to the collision of two incompatible strategies for the further existence of mankind. Moreover, the doom of the Russian Empire for such an approach was related precisely to the fact that once again lost the historical chance of its own modernization, it was in the world military conflict that was inevitable, because of the domination in the state of a compradoriously oriented "lazy class" (T .Veblen), elected the status of a satellite of the United Kingdom and France, which at that time was the main outpost of the rotting monopoly financial and invading imperialism of a qualitatively new global type, which eventually became the main cause of both worlds wars, and then the cold and present "hybrid" wars (the current Putin regime is derived from the modern global "postmodern system" of postmodern neocolonialism). The hypothesis that the cause of the First and Second World Wars was the only aggressive nationalism is refuted, which in fact, in the form of Nazism became a non-constructive reaction to the globally-permissive parasitism that caused the First World War and the "communist experiment", generated by the civil war caused by the catastrophe of the unprecedented in terms of the scale of the war of 1914-1918.

Significance of π–Electrons in the Design of Corrosion Inhibitors for Carbon Steel in Simulated Concrete Pore Solution
Authors: Mohamed A. , Visco D.P. , Bastidas D.M. 
Published: June 2021

Chloride-induced corrosion of carbon steel reinforcements is one of the most important failure mechanisms of reinforced concrete structures. Organic corrosion inhibitors containing different functional groups were analyzed using cyclic potentiodynamic polarization to determine their effect on the pitting potential of carbon steel reinforcements in a 0.1 M Cl− contaminated, simulated, concrete pore solution. It was found that organic compounds with π-electrons in a functional group had better performance. This is attributed to the high density of highest occupied molecular orbital energies found in carboxyl group π-bond. Accordingly, this increases the tendency of donating π-electrons to the appropriate vacant d-orbital of the carbon steel, forming an adsorption film. The best corrosion inhibition performance was achieved by poly-carboxylates followed by alkanolamines and amines. In addition, a novel approach to show the significance of corrosion inhibition phenomenon was applied by developing a quantitative structure-property relationship using the Signature molecular descriptor which correlates the occurrences of atomic Signatures in a data set to a property of interest using a forward stepping multilinear regression. The atomic Signature fragment capturing π-bond was the most influential of all of the fragments, which underscores the significance of π-bond electrons in the adsorption process. It was demonstrated that the [O](=[C]) atomic Signature plays a crucial role in the inhibition process at all heights, corroborating the experimental results.

Published: June 2021

: Introdução: Atualmente a cirurgia bariátrica é considerada a ferramenta mais eficaz no controle e no tratamento da obesidade severa. Os benefícios da cirurgia incluem resolução ou melhora acentuada de doenças crônicas como hipertensão, diabetes e hiperlipidemia. Entretanto, é preciso salientar que o tratamento cirúrgico da obesidade não se resume ao ato cirúrgico. Objetivo Geral: avaliar a importância da suplementação proteica no paciente bariátrico. Metodologia: Para a realização desse estudo optou-se por uma pesquisa na modalidade de revisão integrativa de literatura. A revisão integrativa determina o conhecimento atual sobre uma temática específica, já que é conduzida de modo a identificar, analisar e sintetizar resultados de estudos independentes sobre o mesmo assunto. Resultados e Discussão: Após a realização de uma cirurgia bariátrica, os pacientes sentem deficiência de proteína. Entre os macronutrientes necessários a fisiologia humana, depois desse procedimento, essa deficiência é a mais comumente relatada e isso ocorre por que, estimase que apenas 57% da proteína ingerida é absorvida após a gastroplastia. Conclusão: Ficou evidenciado que a cirurgia bariátrica representa atualmente a melhor estratégia para tratamento da obesidade mórbida. Entretanto, a rápida perda de peso que ocorre após a cirurgia vem acompanhada de uma considerável perda de massa muscular.
