Pediatric Pelvis
Authors: Chauvin Nancy A. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe development of the pelvis follows a predictable pattern of ossification that involves the maturation of bone, synchondroses, and apophyses. These growth centers appear and close at distinct times during skeletal maturity and give rise to structural changes in the pelvis that can be distinctively appreciated on various imaging modalities. Accurate interpretation of radiologic images requires knowledge of skeletal development because the varying appearance of the maturing pediatric pelvis may be mistaken for pathology. In addition, many normal features within the pelvis can be erroneously perceived as injury. This article incorporates a multimodality review of normal pelvic maturation, a discussion of developmental variants, and a description of common injuries unique to the pediatric pelvis.

Published: July 2024

AbstractDuring normal development, imaging findings in the immature knee joint may mimic pathology or indicate transient sites of weakness, prone to injury. This article reviews the development of the knee joint, age- and maturation-dependent imaging considerations, and various developmental variants that can be encountered, subdivided into those that involve the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral compartments, soft tissues, and osseous components. The tibiofemoral compartment section reviews the focal periphyseal edema zone (FOPE), ossification variants of the femoral condyles, distal femoral metaphyseal cortical irregularity from periosteal traction, and the metaphyseal subperiosteal stripe, which should be distinguished from pathologic mimickers such as endochondral ossification dysfunction, osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), fibroosseous lesion, periosteal and subcortical pathologies. The patellofemoral compartment section includes a review of partite patella, dorsolateral defect, variant trochlear morphology, and maturation-dependent sites of transient weakness that are prone to injury from repetitive overuse (Sinding-Larsen-Johansson syndrome and Osgood-Schlatter disease) and avulsion fractures (patellar sleeve and tibial tubercle avulsions). Finally, soft tissue (discoid lateral meniscus, meniscal flounce, anterior cruciate ligament variants) and osseous components (meniscal ossicle, fabella, and cyamella) are reviewed.
Recent Perspectives on Impulse Control Disorder in Dopamine Agonist-Treated Patients in Endocrine Practice
Authors: Aldahmani Khaled M. , AlMalki Mussa H. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractDopamine agonists (DAs) are the primary treatment for patients with hyperprolactinemia. However, there are potential risks of impulse control disorders (ICDs), particularly in those with predisposing factors. Early recognition of ICDs is essential, as reducing the dose or discontinuing the medication often resolves the issue. In some cases, alternative treatments like surgery may be necessary, especially for microprolactinoma or intrasellar macroprolactinoma. Future research should focus on identifying confounding risk factors for ICD development, confirming the presence of ICDs with the help of psychiatrists, documenting the severity of ICDs, and providing guidance on optimal management strategies upon detection of ICDs. We here briefly review the frequencies, risk factors and provide practical guidance on identification and management of ICDs in the context of managing pituitary disorders.
A Bird's Eye View: The Past and Future of Activity-Focused Treatment
Authors: Hinckley Jacqueline , Patterson Janet 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThroughout her career, Audrey Holland advocated for persons with aphasia, urging clinicians and others to view each person in the context of their needs and desires in navigating daily life. In this article, we acknowledge her ideas about functional treatment, and consider their influence on contemporary, activity-focused aphasia treatment. Three criteria define activity-focused treatment: (1) activity-specific goals, (2) personally relevant targets, and (3) near-real-life practice settings. Elements of treatment design, activities, and outcome measurement described here exemplify Audrey's beliefs in person-centered clinical aphasiology. Operationalizing treatment elements and designing a context as close to real life as possible are clinical actions that support these beliefs. Activity-focused treatment and other life participation approaches have often been relegated to the last phase of treatment; following Audrey's example, we advocate beginning with activity-focused treatment based on a client's communication needs and desires. Activity-focused treatment benefits persons with aphasia, their families, clinicians, and other stakeholders by presenting outcomes that reflect communication change in a real-life context and that are individually relevant. Such outcomes foster an individual's inclusion in their communication environments, respect the WHO platform of functional treatment, and prepare a clinician to present outcome data relevant to that individual.
Can Artificial Intelligence Assist Nurses in Planning the Nursing Care of a Child with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia?
Authors: Aközlü Zeynep , Erkut Zeynep 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Background Today, the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) based technologies and their widespread use in the health sector offer important opportunities in the field of nursing practices and patient care. Therefore, there is a need for research to better understand and evaluate the impact of AI-based applications on nursing. In this study, we aimed to determine and evaluate the nursing care practices planned by AI for a pediatric case diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Methods Within the scope of the study, a hospitalization scenario for a child diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia was created by the researchers in line with the literature. The scenario and five open-ended questions were directed to ChatGPT (OpenAI), an AI application. The responses were evaluated in line with the literature.
Results It was determined that AI did not include the measurement of vital signs in the planning of nursing care for the current problems of the child diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and could not detect anemia, thrombocytopenia, alopecia, and nausea/vomiting among the possible problems of the child.
Conclusion Although it is thought to address the patient in a multidimensional way with its responses, the knowledge, experience, and equipment of the nurse are needed to filter the information provided by AI. In line with the data obtained, it is recommended that nurses make a final assessment for the appropriateness of the intervention when deciding to follow an AI-based recommendation.
Income, environmental quality and willingness to pay for organic food: a regional analysis in South Korea
Authors: Kim Cherry , Kim Kwansoo 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThis paper explores the dynamic relationship between income and the willingness to pay (WTP) a premium for organic food across regions with varying levels of environmental development in South Korea. It is widely recognized that income significantly influences consumers’ decisions to purchase organic products. Using the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis as a contextual framework, we confirm that income leads to a higher WTP for organic foods once a specific income threshold is reached. This threshold marks the transition to the “environmental improvement stage,” where regional economic development begins to reduce environmental degradation. Below this threshold, economic priorities often overshadow environmental concerns, resulting in a “pollution-intensive stage” where rising income exacerbates environmental degradation and negatively impacts WTP for organic foods. Our results indicate that the influence of income on organic food demand is sensitive to the level of environmental development. Specifically, the effect of income on WTP varies: it is negative in the pollution-intensive stage and positive in the environmental improvement stage. The magnitude of these effects intensifies with increasing pollution, thereby widening the sustainability gap between these regions. Our findings underscore the importance of addressing economic inequality as a crucial step toward achieving environmental sustainability.
The impact of unconditional cash transfers on enhancing household wellbeing in Pakistan: evidence from a quasi-experimental design
Authors: Hameed Abdul , Ali Tariq Mahmood , Najam Muhammad Omar 
Published: July 2024

AbstractCash transfer programs have emerged as potent tools for alleviating poverty and enhancing the living conditions of the most deprived households in developing nations. Such initiatives have now become integral components of social protection systems in many developing countries, including Pakistan. Evaluating the efficacy of these safety nets is crucial to comprehend their value in terms of public expenditure. This research employed a well-being index to gauge the impact of unconditional cash transfers on the socioeconomics of recipients. By employing three rounds of the BISP impact assessment survey conducted in 2011, 2016, and 2019. The study measured the overall impact of cash transfers on well-being by utilizing Principal Component Analysis in conjunction with a Difference-in-Differences Quasi-Experimental design over the years. The findings of the study indicate that between 2011 and 2016, the socioeconomic status declined for both treatment and control groups, but the reduction was less pronounced among those who received treatment compared to the control group with insignificant. From 2016 to 2019, there was a marginal positive increase in socioeconomic status, although it was of insignificance. Overall, the well-being of both the control and treatment groups decreased from 2011 to 2019, with a slightly more pronounced improvement observed in the treatment group. This trend suggests that the impact of the BISP unconditional cash transfer program had a limited effect on altering the well-being of the beneficiaries. The lack of substantial impact from the BISP’s cash transfers on household well-being can be attributed to factors such as inflation, unemployment, economic slowdown, payment challenges, insufficient funding, and gaps between installments. The government of Pakistan should reconsider the substantial investment in BISP within the context of value for money. It is advisable for the government and policymakers to channel this substantial investment into income generation, capital asset development, microbusinesses, climate-resilient agriculture, and livestock in order to stimulate the real economy sectors.
Theoretical simulation of a dual-band and dual-broadband terahertz metamaterial absorber using two asymmetric rectangular rings
Authors: Ri Kwang-Jin 
Published: July 2024

In this paper, a dual-band and dual-broadband terahertz (THz) metamaterial absorber (MA) using two asymmetric rectangular rings is proposed and studied. The proposed bifunctional MA possesses not only the dual-band absorption performance with absorptivities of 97.81% and 99.53% at 2.07 and 2.88 THz but also the dual-broadband absorption performance with absorptivity above 90% in two frequency ranges of 5.74–6.98 and 9.81–10.83 THz. The distributions of electric fields at resonant frequencies are utilized to analyze the working principle of the proposed bifunctional MA. Moreover, the influences of incident angle and polarization angle on dual-band and dual-broadband absorption performance are also investigated. Different from the previous MAs with asymmetric resonators, our bifunctional MA has polarization insensitivity despite the use of two asymmetric rectangular rings. Therefore, our design idea can be effectively utilized in the development of bifunctional MAs with simple structures and polarization insensitivity.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Over the past few years, notable advancements have been achieved in predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of rotating equipment through deep learning methodologies. However, existing RUL prediction models tend to implement the determination of the first prediction time (FPT) for stage division separately from the RUL prediction, ignoring their potential correlation in the degradation process. In response to this issue, this paper proposed a dual-task prediction network framework based on Patch ModernTCN-Mixer (PMTCN-Mixer), which adaptively and jointly achieved FPT detection and RUL prediction. Firstly, the network designed a hard sharing parameter feature extractor module, Patch ModernTCN, which is used to learn the temporal dependence and spatial correlation of degradation features. Secondly, to eliminate redundant information and noise during the feature extraction phase while enhancing the precision of detection and prognosis, a dynamic semi-soft thresholding (DST) module was constructed. Lastly, the dual-task learning network PMTCN-Mixer was constructed by combining Patch ModernTCN with DST, utilizing GradNorm to balance the gradients between FPT detection and RUL prediction tasks to achieve fusion prediction. The performance of the PMTCN-Mixer framework was validated on the XJTU-SY Bearing Datasets and IEEE PHM 2012 Challenge Datasets, compared with the state-of-the-art network’s optimal results, the RUL prediction metrics root mean square error, mean absolute error, Score and

were improved by 17.31%, 23.59%, 10.66%, and 4.76%, respectively. The findings confirm that the dual-task prediction model PMTCN-Mixer effectively captures both spatial and temporal semantic information from deterioration data, precisely accomplishes the integration of FPT detection and RUL prediction, and possess good generalization ability and superiority.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
In this work, a (Bi, Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+δ
((Bi, Pb)-2223) solution with good film-forming capability and chemical stability was synthesized through using metal acetates as raw materials, acrylic acid as an additive, and anhydrous methanol as a solvent to adjust the sol formula. Subsequently, (Bi, Pb)-2223 thin films were fabricated on LaAlO3 (LAO) single-crystal substrates via dip-coating technology at different heat treatment temperatures, and the structures and properties of (Bi, Pb)-2223 films were characterized. It was found that when the sol stoichiometric ratio of Bi: Pb: Sr: Ca: Cu was controlled at 1.9: 0.35: 2: 2: 3 and the gel film was heat-treated at 860 °C and dwelled for 120 min in an mixed atmosphere of N2: O2 = 96: 4, the prepared thin film with a pure (Bi, Pb)-2223 superconducting phase exhibited excellent biaxial texture, a dense surface structure, and had a T
c of 106 K and a ΔT
c of 6 K. The microstructure analysis revealed a layered epitaxial growth of the film along the LAO substrate with a regular arrangement of atoms and a consistent interlayer spacing.

Abstract
In this paper we report on a set of characterisations
carried out on the first monolithic LGAD prototype integrated in a
customised 110 nm CMOS process having a depleted active volume
thickness of 48 μm. This prototype is formed by a pixel
array where each pixel has a total size of
100 μm× 250 μm and includes a high-speed
front-end amplifier. After describing the sensor and the
electronics architecture, both laboratory and in-beam measurements
are reported and described. Optical characterisations performed
with an IR pulsed laser setup have shown a sensor internal gain of
about 2.5. With the same experimental setup, the electronic jitter
was found to be between 50 ps and 150 ps, depending on the signal
amplitude. Moreover, the analysis of a test beam performed at the
Proton Synchrotron (PS) T10 facility of CERN with 10 GeV/c protons
and pions indicated that the overall detector time resolution is in
the range of 234 ps to 244 ps. Further TCAD investigations, based
on the doping profile extracted from C(V) measurements, confirmed
the multiplication gain measured on the test devices. Finally, TCAD
simulations were used to tune the future doping concentration of the
gain layer implant, targeting sensors with a higher avalanche
gain. This adjustment is expected to enhance the timing performance
of the sensors of the future productions, in order to cope with the
high event rate expected in most of the near future high-energy and
high-luminosity physics experiments, where the time resolution will
be essential to disentangle overlapping events and it will also be
crucial for Particle IDentification (PID).

Authors: Shanishil Baday Saja Jawad , Hamza Ibrahim Abdullah 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
An experiment was conducted in the Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory at the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Baghdad during the years 2022-2023 using Plant Tissue Culture Technique, to induce genetic variations and drought tolerance in vitro for three varieties of barley: Ebaa265, Ebaa99, and Bouhoth244. The experiment included the use of an extract Harmel seeds at concentrations of (0, 3, 6, and 9) % and for a soaking period of (0, 4, 8, and 12) hours, and Mannitol at concentrations of (0, 2, 4, and 6) g.L−1 using MS (Murashige and Skoog) media. Measurements were taken of the average dry weight of callus before and after treatment with Harmel seed extract and a Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (PCR-RAPD) test was conducted. The results showed that there were significant differences in the average dry weight of callus before and after treatment with Harmel seed extract at a concentration of 9% for a soaking period of 12 hours and with Mannitol 6 g.L−1 and the comparison treatment resulting from soaking with Harmel seed extract. The dry weight of callus before treatment with the extract reached 40.42 mg in the variety Ebaa265, is significant different of the average dry weight of callus after treatment with the extract reached 98.10 mg in the variety Bouhoth244. The PCR-RAPD with five primers (OP-A06, OP-A07, OP-A08, OP-B01 and OP-B02) examination revealed differences in the number of resulting bands and their molecular weights in the Harmel seed extract treatments and the comparison treatment, in light of the results. It can be concluded that the extract of Harmel seeds has the ability to cause genetic variations and increase the tolerance of vegetative growth to drought stress resulting from treatment with the compound Mannitol in barley.
