Authors: Tian Wei , Wang Li , Bu Guiling 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
In the context of the rapid development of science and technology, people’s demand for energy is also increasing. Moreover, mineral resources are an important type of energy indispensable in the development of the national economy. However, as the mining volume of mineral resources continues to increase, the difficulty of mining mineral resources is also increasing. Therefore, we must improve traditional mining machinery and equipment and increase the production capacity of mining machinery and equipment. Only in this way can we improve mining efficiency. In this process, we can use modern mechanical design methods to ensure that the design of mining machinery is compatible with the actual mining of minerals. At the same time, this can also improve the design level of mining machinery and equipment, and ensure mining benefits.

Controlled Drug Delivery Carrier of Nifedipine Using Biodegradable Microcapsule Polymer from Poly (D,L-Lactic Acid) and Polyethylene Glycol
Authors: Lestari P P , Budianto E 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
Biodegradable microcapsules as a controlled drug delivery carrier of Nifedipine was prepared from poly (D,L-lactic acid) (D,L-PLA) and Polyethylene Glycol (PEG). Nifedipine works by blocking the amount of calcium that goes to cells in the heart and blood vessels. Nifedipine is used in the treatment of angina pectoris and hypertension. The microcapsules was formed by using o/w emulsification method. The core of microcapsules consist of polyblend of D,L-PLA and PEG. D,L-PLA and PEG are dissolved into dichloromethane than emulsified with nifedipine and dispersed into water to form microcapsules. PEG with different molecular weights can affect pore formation in microcapsules. This study was observed the appearance of microcapsules when using PEG with different molecular weights of PEG and the dissolution at the various composition ratio of D,L-PLA:PEG. The best composition are shown in the variation composition of D,L-PLA (10) : PEG 400 (90) with a dissolution value of 22.83% while variations in the composition of D,L-PLA (10) : PEG 4000 (90) had a dissolution value of 10.43%. The use of PEG with a smaller molecular weight will form better pores in the microcapsule and make the drug dissolution value better than the use of PEG with a larger molecular weight.
Ordering kinetics and steady state of self-propelled particles with random-bond disorder
Authors: Singh Jay Prakash , Pattanayak Sudipta , Mishra Shradha 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
In this study, we introduce a minimal model for a collection of polar self-propelled particles (SPPs) on a two-dimensional substrate where each particle has a different ability to interact with its neighbors. The SPPs interact through a short-range alignment interaction and interaction strength of each particle is obtained from a uniform distribution. Moreover, the volume exclusion among the SPPs is taken care of by introducing a repulsive interaction among them. We characterise the ordered steady state and kinetics of the system for different strengths of the disorder. We find that the presence of the disorder does not destroy the usual long-range ordering in the system. To our surprise, we note that the density clustering is enhanced in the presence of the disorder. Moreover, the disorder leads to the formation of a random network of different interaction strengths, which makes the alignment weaker and it results in the slower dynamics. Hence, the disorder leads to more cohesion among the particles. Furthermore, we note that the kinetics of the ordered state remains unaffected in the presence of the disorder. Size of orientationally ordered domains and density clusters grow with time with dynamic growth exponents z
o ∼ 2 and z

Investigation of Mach number effects on flow over a flat plate at Reynolds number of 1.0 × 104 by schlieren visualization
Authors: Kusama Kensuke , Nagata Takayuki , Anyoji Masayuki , Nonomura Taku , Asai Keisuke 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
Flow over a flat plate with a 5% thickness ratio is investigated by schlieren visualization in compressible low-Reynolds-number conditions. The results show that flow separates at the leading-edge and laminar separation-bubble forms. The position of the maximum root mean square of the schlieren image which is related to the position of the vortex shedding moves downstream as a Mach number increases. Furthermore, the two-dimensional structure of generated vortices is maintained up to the trailing edge at the Mach number of 0.66. The frequency analysis of the time-series intensity value of the schlieren images also shows that the flow is stabilized with increasing the Mach number. The position of the end of the pressure plateau region matches the position where the root-mean-square value of the intensity image becomes a maximum due to vortex shedding.
High performance Pb+2 detection using CVD-produced high quality multilayer reduced graphene oxide

Published: January 2021

Abstract
Detection of heavy metals such as Pb+2 is critical due to their high toxicity as even trace amounts of them pose a serious detrimental risk to human health. Pb2+ is one of the major toxic and persistent pollutants generated from industry and commonly found in soil, drinking water, and aquatic environments. Due to its high-mobility and one-atom thickness, graphene (Gr) based materials have shown great potential for chemical sensors of heavy metals. Recently, a novel conductive reduced-GO obtained by chemical vapor deposition (CVD-rMGO) showed improved layering structure and conductivity over conventional rGO based on chemically exfoliated flakes. Herein, utilizing this novel rGO obtained from chemical vapor deposition, we showed improved Pb2+ detection using both electrochemical and conductivity sensing. For electrochemical sensing, a CVD-rMGO film is used as working electrode and cyclic voltammetry is used to detect Pb+2 ions accumulated on the CVD-rMGO, obtaining a sensitivity of 4.6 nA nM−1cm−2 and a calculated limit of detection of 0.21 nM. For electrical sensing, the drain current through a CVD-rMGO was monitored as the film as exposed to different concentrations of Pb+2, reaching an estimated limit of detection of 0.101 nM. This work shows that high-quality reduced graphene oxide produced by chemical vapor deposition can serve as a basis enable high-sensitivity detectors of Pb2+.
Silicon carbide single-photon sources: challenges and prospects
Authors: Castelletto Stefania 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
The search for an ideal single-photon source (SPS) with superior emission properties is still at the core of many research efforts in optical quantum technologies and the criteria identifying a perfect SPS are now well outlined in various roadmaps established to develop future quantum communication networks. While many efforts have been placed into optimizing quantum dots in hybrid nanophotonic structures, these sources are limited by low-temperature operation and characterized by not yet facile and scalable engineering processes. Alternative material platforms have emerged to address room temperature operation and more achievable scalability and control. One of these platforms is silicon carbide (SiC). In this perspective, we first provide a very broad timelined introduction on last 30 years’ efforts developing SPSs, and then we provide a general outline of recent improvements in uncovering and evolving room-temperature SPSs in SiC viewed in a broader context. We will focus on some specific color centers or intra-bandgap defects and discuss challenges in their further expected development into scalable and robust integrated photonic platforms for nonlinear integrated photonics and spin–photon entanglement generation and distribution. A general comparison with other emerging platforms for SPS is also provided to identify comparative achievements, prospects, and challenges.
Television Adaptation in the Age of Media Convergence: Chinese Intellectual Property Shows and the Case of All Is Well
Authors: Wu Shuxi 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
This article formally introduces the ‘intellectual property show’ concept currently inciting heated discussions among Chinese media studies scholars into English-language academia. Intellectual property show, a Chinese term generally referring to television shows adapted from internet fiction (and to a secondary extent, video games), explicitly suggests an adaptation form and logic particular to an environment characterized by converging media and digital transformations of cultural production. Using the 2019 Chinese hit show All is Well, adapted from an internet novel with the same name, I approach intellectual property show as a media artefact situated at the volatile convergence of political demand, business interest, and new media affordances through adopting an integrative approach to contemporary adaptations in China. By attending to both the material context of production and the media text itself, I join the current explorations in adaptation studies for methods that answer the why and how of adaptation.

Authors: Maietta Julia E , Kuwabara Hana C , Cross Chad L , Flood Sarah M , Kinsora Thomas F , Ross Staci R , Allen Daniel N 
Published: January 2021

Abstract

Objective
The presence of neurodevelopmental disorders (ND) such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning disorders (LD) have demonstrated effects on Immediate Post-concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) performance. No current research has directly examined whether autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has similar effects. The current study compared ImPACT cognitive and symptom profiles in athletes with self-reported ASD to other NDs and healthy controls using case-control matching.

Method
The current study compared ImPACT baselines of high school athletes with ASD to athletes with other NDs (ADHD, LD, and co-occurring ADHD/LD) and healthy controls on cognitive composites and symptom reporting. Participants included 435 athletes (87 controls, 87 with ASD, 87 with ADHD, 87 with LD, and 87 with ADHD/LD) selected from a larger naturalistic sample. Athletes were matched to the ASD group based on age, sex, and sport using randomized case-matched selection from the larger database.

Results
Results revealed that athletes with ASD performed more poorly than healthy controls on the Visual Motor Speed composite. No differences were found for Post-concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS) domain scores. Differences in cognitive and symptom profiles among the athletes with other NDs were also found.

Conclusions
Results elucidate patterns of baseline performance for athletes with ASD, demonstrating that there may not be significant differences between ASD and healthy controls on four of the five ImPACT composites, and no symptom reporting differences. Cognitive and symptom differences found for other NDs should be considered when interpreting baseline performance and for making return-to-play decisions in the absence of baseline assessment.

Authors: Santorso Simone 
Published: January 2021

AbstractDrawing on prison officers’ accounts, this article addresses the extent to which the implementation of dynamic security and open cell regime has been successful in reforming Italian prisons. The article, based on a semi-ethnographic research in two prisons, sheds light on how the prison officers’ cope with the new rehabilitation-oriented role. The uniformed staff’s perceptions and experiences of the new regime are analysed, with a focus on the symbolic order produced over the rehabilitation and the effect of the complexity of the prison’s setting. Along with deepening understandings about the humanization of prison security, this article explores how the prison officers’ role and attitudes might impact and shape the idea of rehabilitation.
On Human Dignity and Social Work
Authors: Borowski Allan 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
Human dignity is a key value found in the profession’s code of ethics. It demands that clients be treated respectfully. However, there are different understandings of what dignity means and, in turn, requires of social workers in their efforts to engender respect. This article reviews several understandings of dignity and their practice implications. It also explores understandings of indignity and their implications for avoiding treating clients in an undignified manner. Finally, the paper considers dignity as the foundation of human rights and illustrates some practice implications. The intent of the article is to strengthen social workers’ understandings of this contested concept and thereby raise their consciousness of how, provided they are careful about its application, it can inform their morally significant work.
Relationship-Based Practice in Therapeutic Residential Care: A Double-Edged Sword
Authors: Kor Kenny , Fernandez Elizabeth , Spangaro Jo 
Published: January 2021

AbstractThis article draws on the lived experiences and perspectives of young people and practitioners in therapeutic residential care to examine what constitutes relationship-based practice. Eight young people and twenty-six practitioners across three residential care services in Australia participated in this qualitative study. Framework analysis identifies that personalised engagement, a delicate balance between care and control, and perseverance through turbulent times are conducive to relationship-based practice in therapeutic residential care. Relationship-based practice is also found to be employed in a unique historical and relational context that demands mindful navigation through three specific professional boundary issues including self-disclosure, over-identification and physical contact. Against this context, relationship-based practice in therapeutic residential care is considered a ‘double-edged sword’, offering practitioners copious opportunities to build connections with young people in informal environments whilst needing to mitigate multiple ethical ambiguities. Implications for practice include the need to safeguard the ‘do no harm’ priority whilst resisting defensive or detached practice. Contextualising relationship-based practice within an ethical practice framework to embed ethics work in day-to-day practice becomes paramount.

Published: January 2021

Abstract
A simple, accurate and precise RP-HPLC method was developed for the simultaneous determination of chloroquine, pyrimethamine and cetirizine hydrochloride concentrations in bulk drug and human serum. The assay was performed using a mobile phase of methanol: water (70:30) at pH of 2.8 ± 0.05 on the Purospher C-18 column with UV detection at 230 nm and rosuvastatin used as an internal standard. The retention times observed for chloroquine, pyrimethamine and cetirizine hydrochloride were 3.5, 2.5 and 5.5 minutes, respectively. The method was found to be specific for the assayed drugs showing a linear response in the concentration range of 1–100 μg mL−1 with coefficients of determination values of (r = 0.999). The method was developed and validated according to ICH guidelines. The method was used to monitor the serum samples and was found to be sensitive for therapeutic purposes, showing the potential to be a useful tool for routine analysis in laboratories.

The effects of showering in 48–72 h after coronary artery bypass graft surgery through median sternotomy on wound infection, pain, comfort, and satisfaction: randomized controlled trial
Authors: Gök Fadime , Demir Korkmaz Fatma , Emrecan Bilgin 
Published: January 2021

Abstract

Aims
Time of showering after surgery is still a controversial issue for surgical patients and health professionals. We evaluated the effects of showering in 48–72 h after median sternotomy on sternal wound infections, pain due to sternotomy, patient comfort, and satisfaction levels.

Methods and results
The study was a randomized controlled clinical trial. Fifty-one patients were randomly allocated (1:1) to the shower (n = 26) or non-shower group (n = 25). The patients in the shower group (intervention group) showered in the first 48–72 h after surgery and the patients in the non-shower group (control group) were not allowed to shower until their chest tube sutures were removed. They were instructed to shower on the next day after removal of the chest tube sutures. The rate of sternal wound infections was significantly lower in the shower group (n = 2, 7.7%) than in the non-shower group patients (n = 8, 32.0%; P = 0.038). A logistic regression analysis showed that early post-operative showering was protective and significantly reduced the risk of sternal wound infections independently of other variables [odds ratio (OR): 0.177; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.033–0.940; P = 0.042]. The pain severity score was significantly lower in the shower group patients. Also, comfort and satisfaction scores were significantly higher in this group (P &lt; 0.05).

Conclusion
Early showering after sternotomy was found to be protective against sternal wound infections and had a positive effect on pain, comfort, and satisfaction.

An arsRB resistance operon confers tolerance to arsenite in the environmental isolate Terribacillus sp. AE2B 122
Authors: Escobar-Niño Almudena , Sánchez-Barrionuevo Leyre , Torres-Torres José Miguel , Clemente Rafael , Gutiérrez Gabriel , Mellado Encarnación , Cánovas David 
Published: January 2021

ABSTRACT
Terribacillus sp. AE2B 122 is an environmental strain isolated from olive-oil agroindustry wastes. This strain displays resistance to arsenic, one of the most ubiquitous carcinogens found in nature. Terribacillus sp. AE2B 122 possesses an unusual ars operon, consisting of the transcriptional regulator (arsR) and arsenite efflux pump (arsB) but no adjacent arsenate reductase (arsC) locus. Expression of arsR and arsB was induced when Terribacillus was exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of arsenate. Heterologous expression of the arsB homologue in Escherichia coli ∆arsRBC demonstrated that it conferred resistance to arsenite and reduced the accumulation of arsenic inside the cells. Two members of the arsC-like family (Te3384 and Te2854) found in the Terribacillus genome were not induced by arsenic, but their heterologous expression in E. coli ∆arsC and ∆arsRBC increased the accumulation of arsenic in both strains. We found that both Te3384 and Te2854 slightly increased resistance to arsenate in E. coli ∆arsC and ∆arsRBC, possibly by chelation of arsenic or by increasing the resistance to oxidative stress. Finally, arsenic speciation assays suggest that Terribacillus is incapable of arsenate reduction, in agreement with the lack of an arsC homologue in the genome.
