Authors: Li Wenjuan , Tian Dezheng 
Published: September 2024

Background:
In previous developments of permanent magnet synchronous motor tests,
physical experiments provided results closest to actual working conditions. However, these experiments
had long development cycles, increased costs, poor repeatability, and potential risks of damage
to equipment and casualties if not handled carefully. The introduction of hardware-in-the-loop
real-time simulation technology has effectively addressed these challenges in motor testing development.
Therefore, the development of hardware-in-the-loop simulation technology holds significant
importance.

Objective:
The existing real-time simulation platforms summarize specific examples of the current
use of real-time simulation, and classify the hardware-in-the-loop simulation of permanent magnet
synchronous motors to predict its development trend.

Methods:
The study analyzes the characteristics of existing real-time simulation platforms and their
suitability for different environments. It also examines the modeling methods and real-time simulation
techniques for permanent magnet synchronous motors under various circumstances, assessing
their feasibility and accuracy, control strategies for permanent magnet synchronous motors are compared
and expounds and compares the latest patented technologies.

Results:
The hardware-in-the-loop simulation system of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is
analyzed and compared, and its typical features are summarized. Additionally, the problems in the
hardware-in-the-loop simulation system are analyzed, and the future development trend is discussed.

Conclusion:
Compared to the simulation results of actual motors, the results obtained from hardware-
in-the-loop simulation are highly accurate. The utilization of hardware-in-the-loop simulation
platforms can effectively decrease development costs, shorten the research and development cycle,
and minimize the risks associated with experiments in specific cases when testing permanent magnet
synchronous motor systems. Additionally, it enhances the reproducibility of experiments.

Authors: Malik Sandeep , Kumar Vinnet 
Published: September 2024

Introduction:
Wire electrical discharge machining (W-EDM) has proven to be an appropriate
choice for machining hard-to-cut materials for obtaining difficult and complex geometries
with excellent surface characteristics.

Method:
The present work investigates the effect of different wires, viz. copper, brass, and Nbcoated
brass, along with the investigations of W-EDM input factors, viz. pulse-on-duration (Ton),
pulse-off-duration (Toff), and current on material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (SR).
Taguchi’s L9 design has been employed to perform the trials.

Result:
The maximum MRR of 31.03 mm3/min has been obtained for Nb-coated brass as compared
to copper and brass. SR was observed to be least using the brass with a value of 3.19 μm. However,
the optimum SR value obtained using a Nb-coated brass was 4.87 μm. Finally, scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) for various wire materials revealed the machined surface topography.

Conclusion:
The surface machined with Nb-coated wire shows fewer microcracks, pores, and
globule sizes. As per this study, the current work can significantly benefit commercial applications.

Abstract

Background
Young children are susceptible to enterovirus (EV) infections, which cause significant morbidity in this age group.

Objective
This study investigated the characteristics of virus strains and the epidemiology of EVs circulating among young children in Taiwan from 2011 to 2020.

Methods
Children diagnosed with EV infections from 2011 to 2020 were identified from the routine national health insurance data monitoring disease system, real-time outbreak and disease surveillance system, national laboratory surveillance system, and Statistics of Communicable Diseases and Surveillance Report, a data set (secondary data) of the Taiwan Centers for Disease and Control. Four primary outcomes were identified: epidemic features, characteristics of sporadic and cluster cases of EV infections, and main cluster institutions.

Results
From 2011 to 2020, between 10 and 7600 person-times visited the hospitals for EV infections on an outpatient basis daily. Based on 2011 to 2020 emergency department EV infection surveillance data, the permillage of EV visits throughout the year ranged from 0.07‰ and 25.45‰. After typing by immunofluorescence assays, the dominant type was coxsackie A virus (CVA; 8844/12,829, 68.9%), with most constituting types CVA10 (n=2972), CVA2 (n=1404), CVA6 (n=1308), CVA4 (n=1243), CVA16 (n=875), and CVA5 (n=680); coxsackie B virus CVB (n=819); echovirus (n=508); EV-A71 (n=1694); and EV-D68 (n=10). There were statistically significant differences (P<.001) in case numbers of EV infections among EV strains from 2011 to 2020. Cases in 2012 had 15.088 times the odds of being EV-A71, cases in 2014 had 2.103 times the odds of being CVA, cases in 2015 had 1.569 times the odds of being echovirus, and cases in 2018 had 2.274 times the odds of being CVB as cases in other years. From 2011 to 2020, in an epidemic analysis of EV clusters, 57 EV clusters were reported. Clusters that tested positive included 53 (53/57, 93%) CVA cases (the major causes were CVA6, n=32, and CVA10, n=8). Populous institutions had the highest proportion (7 of 10) of EV clusters.

Conclusion
This study is the first report of sporadic and cluster cases of EV infections from surveillance data (Taiwan Centers for Disease and Control, 2011‐2020). This information will be useful for policy makers and clinical experts to direct prevention and control activities to EV infections that cause the most severe illness and greatest burden to the Taiwanese.
Exploring Contactless Vital Signs Collection in Video Telehealth Visits Among Veterans Affairs Providers and Patients: Pilot Usability Study
Authors: Garvin Lynn , Richardson Eric , Heyworth Leonie , McInnes D Keith 
Published: September 2024

Background
To expand veterans’ access to health care, the Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Connected Care explored a novel software feature called “Vitals” on its VA Video Connect telehealth platform. Vitals uses contactless, video-based, remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) through the infrared camera on veterans’ smartphones (and other devices) to automatically scan their faces to provide real-time vital statistics on screen to both the provider and patient.

Objective
This study aimed to assess VA clinical provider and veteran patient attitudes regarding the usability of Vitals.

Methods
We conducted a mixed methods evaluation of Vitals among VA providers and patients, collecting data in July and August 2023 at the VA Boston Healthcare System and VA San Diego Healthcare System. We conducted analyses in October 2023. In-person usability testing sessions consisted of a think-aloud procedure while using the software, a semistructured interview, and a 26-item web-based survey.

Results
Usability test sessions with 20 VA providers and 13 patients demonstrated that both groups found Vitals “useful” and “easy to use,” and they rated its usability highly (86 and 82 points, respectively, on a 100-point scale). Regarding acceptability or willingness/intent to use, providers and patients generally expressed confidence and trust in Vitals readings, with high ratings of 90 and 85 points, respectively. Providers and patients rated Vitals highly for its feasibility and appropriateness for context (90 and 90 points, respectively). Finally, providers noted that Vitals’ flexibility makes it appropriate and advantageous for implementation in a wide range of clinical contexts, particularly in specialty care. Providers believed that most clinical teams would readily integrate Vitals into their routine workflow because it saves time; delivers accurate, consistently collected vitals; and may reduce reporting errors. Providers and veterans suggested training and support materials that could improve Vitals adoption and implementation.

Conclusions
While remote collection of vital readings has been described in the literature, this is one of the first accounts of testing a contactless vital signs measurement tool among providers and patients. If ongoing initiatives demonstrate accuracy in its readings, Vitals could enhance telemedicine by providing accurate and automatic reporting and recording of vitals; sending patients’ vital readings (pending provider approval) directly to their electronic medical record; saving provider and patient time; and potentially reducing necessity of some home-based biometric devices. Understanding usability issues before US Food and Drug Administration approval of Vitals and its implementation could contribute to a seamless introduction of Vitals to VA providers and patients.
Deuteron beam fluence emitted from dense plasma focus: Comparative investigation and simulation
Authors: Altarabulsi A. , Abou-Ali Y. , Alsheikh Salo S. , Akel M. , Lee S. 
Published: September 2024

The fluence of a deuterons beam emitted from three Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) devices, PF-1000, MPEF-12 kJ and PF-2.7 kJ, versus deuterium gas pressure was simulated and studied using the adapted Lee model code (RADPFV6.16FIB). The computed fluences were then compared with the reported measured values of these devices at certain distances from the pinch, where the comparison showed a good agreement including within the range of errors. Furthermore, many numerical experiments using the Lee code were carried out and discussed for other nine different energy devices over a wide initial D2 pressure range of (1-15 Torr), for studying the deuteron beam features at the pinch exit and various distances from the pinch. The obtained results indicated that the deuteron beam fluence is in order of 1020 ions.m-2 at the pinch exit for all considered plasma focus devices (with energy storage in 0.2-863 kJ range) and this order can be reduced up to 1019 ions.m-2 at the distance of 14 cm from the pinch exit. Therefore; the placement of the treated material samples, using plasma focus, at different distances from the anode tip plays an essential role (in addition to the number of plasma shots) for multi-applications (e.g., ion implantation, thin film deposition and surface modification).

Despite the abundance of data concerning biologic treatments for patients with psoriasis, clinicians are often challenged with discerning the optimal treatment for each patient. To inform this selection, this study explored whether a patient’s baseline characteristics or disease profile could predict the likelihood of achieving complete skin clearance with biologic treatment. Machine-learning and other statistical methods were applied to the substantial data collected from patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis in the ongoing, international, prospective, observational Psoriasis Study of Health Outcomes (PSoHO). The 3 measures of complete skin clearance were a psoriasis area and severity index (PASI)100 response at (a) week 12, (b) month 12, and (c) week 12 and maintain ed at month 6 and month 12 (PASI100 durability). From these real-world data, the absence of nail psoriasis emerged as the most consistent feature that may be used by clinicians to predict high-level treatment responses with biologic treatment. Other significant predictors of skin clearance with biologic treatments were the absence of hypertension and a lower body surface area affected by psoriasis. Overall, this study evidences the substantial challenge of identifying reliable clinical markers of treatment response for patients with psoriasis and highlights the importance of regular screening for psoriatic nail involvement.
Effect of Scraping on Humus Content of Heavy Textured Soil Degraded by Excess Waters
Authors: Nagy Pál Máté , Jobbágy Ján , Tuba Géza , Kovács Györgyi , Zsembeli József 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
On low-lying soils with a high clay content and poor water conductivity, excess water regularly appears after almost every rainy winter causing soil degradation, which leads to yield failures and/or losses. To outlet the harmful excess surface, waters needs appropriate ameliorative and agrotechnical operations. Among them, scraping represents a suitable intervention into soil structure involving the complete conversion of the micro-topography of the land. The humus content of the soil is a determining factor in terms of soil fertility; therefore, it must be preserved even when drastic tillage operations are carried out on a plot. Our research aimed to assess the effect of scraping on the humus content of the soil on three plots with a heavy textured Vertisol endangered by excess waters. Scraping was used on these plots to create a homogeneous topography and surface with a slight slope to get rid of excess water when it appears. It was established that scraping did not cause humus loss on a plot scale, and it resulted in an evener organic matter distribution, hence a potentially more homogenous yield within the ameliorated plots.
The Impact of Equity Financing on Financial Performance: Evidence from Jordan
Authors: Almanaseer Sufian 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of equity financing on the financial performance of Jordanian industrial companies. The study population comprised 393 board directors from 55 Jordanian industrial companies. Purposive sampling was employed to select 346 board directors for the study sample. Data were collected via an online questionnaire, and the study used a descriptive-analytical approach to examine the study hypotheses. The study concludes that equity financing posi-tively impacts financial performance. Also, each of the angel investors, retained earnings, crowdfunding, and ploughed-back profit positively impact financial performance. The study recommends that Jordanian industrial companies focus on retained earnings as a funding source; what helps is the lower costs of obtaining financing from retained earnings compared with other funding sources. This study is unique because, as far as the researcher knows, it is the first to look at how angel investors, retained earnings, crowdfunding, and ploughed-back profit affect the financial performance of Jordanian industrial compa-nies all at the same time or separately.

Authors: Dinata Steven , Bawono Baju , Dharsono Wardana W. , Anggoro Paulus Wisnu 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Trolley rack is a material handling that significantly affects production productivity in Indonesian Tea factories. The design of this tool needs to consider the anthropometric approach. This study raises the problem of the dimensions of the trolley racks used in the industry without thinking about the anthropometric approach. Of the twenty-two trolley rack operators, 92.5% of workers experienced back pain when operating the equipment. This problem has an impact on musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which causes a decrease in effectiveness and workers. The REBA and Nordic Body Map Questionnaire methods are used to obtain optimal operator posture analysis related to the redesign of the trolley rack. Five anthropometric dimensions of a comfortable trolley rack were obtained, including shoulder height (SH), standing shoulder width (STW), leg length (FL), foot width (FW), and hand grip width (HGW). The final anthropometric dimensions of this tool are SH = 126 cm, STW = 33 cm, FL = 11 cm, FW = 13 cm, and HGW = 5 cm. Using new trolley racks in this study increased productivity by 80%.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine long-term outcome in Crohn’s disease patients hospitalised for acute abdominal pain. Retrospective chart review was made of consecutive Crohn’s disease patients hospitalised for acute abdominal pain at the tertiary referral centre in Eastern Europe. Between 2015 and 2020, 65 patients with Crohn’s disease were admitted at least once to the emergency room because of acute abdominal pain. Thirteen were admitted twice, eight — three times, three — four times, and three — five times. Most patients had ileal involvement. There were two intra-abdominal abscesses. Fifty-three of 65 underwent abdominal imaging. Forty-five were treated with antibiotics (65%), 17 with steroids (26%), eight received a nasogastric tube and three — parenteral nutrition. Six underwent an intestinal resection during the initial hospitalisation (9%). The hospitalisation length median was eight days and significantly longer in those who underwent surgery (28 vs. 9, p = 0.003). The median follow-up time was 42.8 months. During the follow-up period, 26 (40%) readmitted for abdominal emergencies, 14 underwent surgery — either at the initial or later hospitalisation (21%). Thirteen of 14 surgeries were emergencies, and three were concluded by ostomy formation (21%). One developed postoperative intra-abdominal complication, and two died postoperatively (14%). Complicated disease was associated with hospital readmission (HR, 5.8, 95% CI:1.4–23.3; p = 0.013) and enhanced probability to undergo intestinal surgery (HR, 10.3, 95% CI: 2.4–44.1; p = 0.002). An elevated CRP was associated with decreased risk of hospital readmission (HR, 0.08, 95% CI: 0.01–0.55; p = 0.010). Ileocolic disease was the main cause of hospitalisation for acute abdominal pain. Complicated (stricturing or penetrating) disease should be diagnosed early and surveilled closely.
Behaviour of Quark and Strange Quark Matter for Higher Dimensional Bianchi Type -I Universe in f(R,T) Gravity
Authors: Thakre S. , Mapari R.V. , Thakare V.A. 
Published: September 2024

This research paper delves into a thorough examination of the behaviour exhibited by higher dimensional Bianchi Type-I universes, incorporating the presence of quark and strange quark matter within the framework of f(R,T) gravity. The solutions derived for the field equations encompass both exponential volumetric expansion and power law scenarios. Under the exponential expansion model, both the pressure (pq) and energy density (pq) associated with quark matter are initially finite at the inception of cosmic time, gradually diminishing to zero as time progresses towards infinity. Conversely, within the power law model, these parameters start off infinitely large at t = 0, subsequently decreasing to zero as time approaches infinity. Furthermore, an exploration of the physical and geometrical attributes of the model is conducted. Notably, in power law expansion models, the behaviour of strange quark matter mirrors that of quark matter concerning pressure (p) and energy density (ρ). But in exponential expansion model quark pressure and strange quark pressure behave differently. The bag constant emerges as a critical factor influencing the universe's expansion, with observations revealing that both pressure and energy density tend towards the bag constant at large time scales (t→∞). Specifically, the pressure p→ -BC and the energy density ρ→ BC as time approach infinity. The negative pressure sign denotes the universe's expansion during later epochs.
