Golden spiral interferometry for radio astronomy. A proposal
Authors: Rodríguez Elio Quiroga 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Radio interferometry is a powerful technique that allows
astronomers to create high-resolution images of astronomical
objects. The distribution of radio telescopes in an interferometer
is a critical factor that determines the resolution and sensitivity
of the instrument. Traditionally, radio telescopes are distributed
in a linear or circular array. However, recent work has shown that
using a golden spiral distribution can improve the resolution and
sensitivity of an interferometer. In this paper, the author proposes
the use of a golden spiral distribution for radio interferometry,
showing that a golden spiral distribution can provide a significant
improvement in resolution, up to a factor of eight, compared to a
linear or circular distribution. The author also proposes that a
golden spiral distribution can improve the sensitivity of an
interferometer; it may provide a more uniform distribution of radio
telescopes than a linear or circular distribution (a known propety
of spiral distributions).

Authors: Yu Jinzhi , Gu Bozhong , Jiang Xiang , Zhao Te 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The temperature distribution and the difference with the
ambient temperature of the primary mirror are crucial factors
affecting the observational quality of the solar telescope. We
designed a flow field structure of the primary mirror temperature
control system based on the 2.5-meter Wide-field and High-resolution
Solar Telescope(WeHoT), analyzed the flow conditions and heat
transfer capacity of the overall flow field, and then carried out
five stages of optimization iteration and simulation guided by the
analysis results. A flow field structure for the primary mirror
temperature control system with high efficiency and high uniformity
is summarized. The simulation results for the final solution
indicate an average surface temperature of the primary mirror at
20.064°C, with a maximum temperature difference within the
reflective surface of 0.809°C, and a reduced difference
with the ambient temperature of 0.411°C. Surface thermal
deformation is less than 0.2 μm, with an RMS value of 18.05 nm,
achieving the ideal state. This work can provide a theoretical
foundation and valuable insights for future research on the
temperature control system of the primary mirror in large-aperture
solar telescopes.
Watchdog Design for Improvement of the Kartini Reactor Protection System
Authors: Sukarman  , Prawoto Rankai Rasya , Subchan M 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The aging problem and the scarcity of components on the control computer at the Kartini reactor are the main factors for the revitalization process. With these problems, some functions in the Kartini reactor are not running according to design, and one of them is the watchdog system of the control computer (slave PC). The watchdog system plays a role in monitoring the failure of the control computer if there is a hang during the operation process. If there is a hang on the computer, the watchdog system will actuate the reactor protection system in the form of a reset system and TRIP (reactor shutdown). However, the system is only able to actuate the reset system while the TRIP system is run manually. In this study, a watchdog system was designed to monitor the performance of PLC and LabVIEW-based control computers. Testing is based on the output signal specifications of the control computer used and the quality of the output signal. Based on the test results, it can be seen that the system is able to read the hang and generate a delay signal to actuate TRIP.
Potential utilization of ultrafine bubbles (UFB) technology in the cleaning process as a solution to replace the use of detergents and environmentally friendly: A review
Authors: Susanto H , Herodian S , Purwanto Y A , Sugiarto A T 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The waste generated by detergents is very damaging to the environment. The detergent consists of three main components: surfactants, building materials (phosphate compounds), and additives (bleach and fragrance). Surfactants widely used as detergents are generally anionic, and toxic, and can cause destabilization of living things. Therefore, finding a good solution to replace using detergents as an ingredient in the cleaning process is necessary. One of the best and environmentally friendly alternatives is using ultrafine bubbles, in the cleaning process. Ultrafine bubbles that are negatively charged and tend to collect positively charged matter. The cleaning power is enhanced by several effects of ultrafine bubbles such as; the degreasing effect, the effect of sloughing off deposits by getting between them and the cleaning agent, and the forces and shock waves when the gas bubbles burst. One of the big effects of ozonized ultrafine bubbles is very high detergency. Ozonized ultrafine bubbles have a degreasing effect of separating and removing oil as they penetrate the oil and between the boundaries with the adhering surface. Additionally, ozonized ultrafine bubbles can penetrate tight spaces between objects that touch each other, and when the ozonized nanobubbles coalesce into ozonized microbubbles, they can act as wedges to separate them.
Experimental investigation on mechanical and microstructural properties of self-compacting geopolymer concrete with different mineral admixtures
Authors: M Amala , C Umarani 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Geopolymer concrete is environmentally friendly concrete as it relies on minor treated natural materials or industrial by-products like fly ash, GGBS, silica fumes etc,. which have high alumina (Al2O3) and silica (SiO2) content, significantly reducing carbon footprints. To overcome the challenge of compaction due to the highly viscous nature of geopolymer concrete, self-compacting geopolymer concrete (SCGC) has been developed to flow and compact under its weight, eliminating the need for additional compaction. Self-compacting geopolymer concrete is an innovative concrete that combines the benefits of geopolymer concrete and self-compacting concrete. In this study, mineral admixtures of fly ash, ultra fine ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), and micro silica were used in different mix proportions. For all mixes, the water-to-powder (binder content) mass ratio (w/p) was maintained as 0.35, the total powder content was 400 kg m−3, and glass fibre 1.5% of the binder content were used. The water to powder (binder content) mass ratio (w/p) selected after numerous trial mixes was 0.35. The test specimens were cured at 70 °C. In this study, to measure fresh properties, tests on concrete slump flow test, L-box test, V-Funnel test, and T50 V- Funnel test, J-ring were conducted. This paper illustrates the way an ANN (Artificial Neural Network) model may be employed to find the mix proportion of concrete mixes. The fresh and mechanical Properties of SCGC were conducted for different molarities of eight molarities, ten molarities, and twelve molarities. Microstructural studies such as x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analyses were carried out, and the results are presented.
Development of an individualized stable and force-reducing lower-limb exoskeleton
Authors: Huang Guo-Shing , Yen Meng-Hua , Chang Chia-Chun , Lai Chung-Liang , Chen Chi-Chun 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
In this study, an individualized and stable passive-control lower-limb exoskeleton robot was developed. Users’ joint angles and the center of pressure (CoP) of one of their soles were input into a convolutional neural network (CNN)–long short-term memory (LSTM) model to evaluate and adjust the exoskeleton control scheme. The CNN–LSTM model predicted the fitness of the control scheme and output the results to the exoskeleton robot, which modified its control parameters accordingly to enhance walking stability. The sole’s CoP had similar trends during normal walking and passive walking with the developed exoskeleton; the y-coordinates of the CoPs with and without the exoskeleton had a correlation of 91%. Moreover, electromyography signals from the rectus femoris muscle revealed that it exerted 40% less force when walking with a stable stride length in the developed system than when walking with an unstable stride length. Therefore, the developed lower-limb exoskeleton can be used to assist users in achieving balanced and stable walking with reduced force application. In the future, this exoskeleton can be used by patients with stroke and lower-limb weakness to achieve stable walking.
Automatic segmentation of echocardiographic images using a shifted windows vision transformer architecture
Authors: Nemri Souha , Duong Luc 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Echocardiography is one the most commonly used imaging modalities for the diagnosis of congenital heart disease. Echocardiographic image analysis is crucial to obtaining accurate cardiac anatomy information. Semantic segmentation models can be used to precisely delimit the borders of the left ventricle, and allow an accurate and automatic identification of the region of interest, which can be extremely useful for cardiologists. In the field of computer vision, convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures remain dominant. Existing CNN approaches have proved highly efficient for the segmentation of various medical images over the past decade. However, these solutions usually struggle to capture long-range dependencies, especially when it comes to images with objects of different scales and complex structures. In this study, we present an efficient method for semantic segmentation of echocardiographic images that overcomes these challenges by leveraging the self-attention mechanism of the Transformer architecture. The proposed solution extracts long-range dependencies and efficiently processes objects at different scales, improving performance in a variety of tasks. We introduce Shifted Windows Transformer models (Swin Transformers), which encode both the content of anatomical structures and the relationship between them. Our solution combines the Swin Transformer and U-Net architectures, producing a U-shaped variant. The validation of the proposed method is performed with the EchoNet-Dynamic dataset used to train our model. The results show an accuracy of 0.97, a Dice coefficient of 0.87, and an Intersection over union (IoU) of 0.78. Swin Transformer models are promising for semantically segmenting echocardiographic images and may help assist cardiologists in automatically analyzing and measuring complex echocardiographic images.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Tumorigenesis arises from the dysfunction of cancer genes, leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation through various mechanisms. Establishing a complete cancer gene catalogue will make precision oncology possible. Although existing methods based on graph neural networks (GNN) are effective in identifying cancer genes, they fall short in effectively integrating data from multiple views and interpreting predictive outcomes. To address these shortcomings, an interpretable representation learning framework IMVRL-GCN is proposed to capture both shared and specific representations from multiview data, offering significant insights into the identification of cancer genes. Experimental results demonstrate that IMVRL-GCN outperforms state-of-the-art cancer gene identification methods and several baselines. Furthermore, IMVRL-GCN is employed to identify a total of 74 high-confidence novel cancer genes, and multiview data analysis highlights the pivotal roles of shared, mutation-specific, and structure-specific representations in discriminating distinctive cancer genes. Exploration of the mechanisms behind their discriminative capabilities suggests that shared representations are strongly associated with gene functions, while mutation-specific and structure-specific representations are linked to mutagenic propensity and functional synergy, respectively. Finally, our in-depth analyses of these candidates suggest potential insights for individualized treatments: afatinib could counteract many mutation-driven risks, and targeting interactions with cancer gene SRC is a reasonable strategy to mitigate interaction-induced risks for NR3C1, RXRA, HNF4A, and SP1.
Going global by going local: Impacts and opportunities of geographically focused data integration

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Biodiversity conservation is a global challenge that requires the integration of global and local data. Expanding global data infrastructures have opened unprecedented opportunities for biodiversity data storage, curation, and dissemination. Within one such infrastructure—the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)—these benefits are achieved by aggregating data from over 100 regional infrastructure nodes. Such, regional biodiversity infrastructures benefit scientific communities in ways that exceed their core function of contributing to global data aggregation, but these additional scientific impacts are rarely quantified. To fill this gap, we characterize the scientific impact of the Atlas of Living Australia, one of the oldest and largest GBIF nodes, as a case study of a regional biodiversity information facility. Our discussion reveals the multifaceted impact of the regional biodiversity data infrastructure. We showcase the global importance of such infrastructures, data sets, and collaborations.
Re-imagining Procedural Justice in Policing Sexual Violence: Centring Survivors
Authors: Johnson Kelly , Walling-Wefelmeyer Rosa , Smith Olivia , Hohl Katrin , Brooks-Hay Oona 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Procedural justice is recognized as being of substantial value to policing and, increasingly, victim-survivors. However, little research has engaged with the meaning of procedural justice theory in sexual violence, and none have developed an understanding with and for survivors. We conducted consultations with 42 survivors via five diverse expert-by-experience panels in England. We propose the following new conceptualizations of the key principles of procedural justice: dignity and respect, equity and fairness, voice, safety and trustworthiness. These principles foreground a feminist, situated and intersectional approach, and emphasize the importance of recognition, equity and the unconditional humanity of survivors. This work offers a new understanding of procedural justice in the context of policing sexual violence, and in institutional responses to gender-based violence more broadly.
581 A Standard Base Audit Regarding Documentation of Urinary Catheterization of the Patients Who Had a Urinary Catheter Inserted in a General Surgical Ward at Sri Jayewardenepura General Hospital, Sri Lanka
Authors: Dadigamuwage S , Gunawardena S 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Aim
To assess the documentation of urinary catheterization of patients who had a urinary catheter inserted in the ward and to achieve good documentation following urinary catheterization

Method
We performed a standard base audit on documentation of urinary catheterization of the patients who had a urinary catheter inserted in the ward. We collected the initial retrospective data from the patient's notes and observed any documentation of urinary catheterization. The data was analysed and then a printed document was introduced to the ward to be filled following urinary catheterization. After 5 months we have carried out the re-audit to check for the improvement of documentation.

Results
A total of 50 patients were included. Before the implementation of the printed form for the documentation of catheterization, only 2% of patients had complete documentation following a urinary catheterization. After the implementation of the form, the documentation following urinary catheterization has improved to 88%.

Conclusions
The documentation of urinary catheterization has been recommended in the guidelines to ensure patients’ safety. The documentation of the indication, pre-insertion examinations and observations, catheter details, the volume of water instilled in the balloon, characteristics of the initial urine drained, and last but not least the removal plan is important for patient management and safety. These domains have been entered in the form and introduced to the ward to be filled and pasted on the patients' notes following a urinary catheterisation.
112 Intraductal Papilloma Without Atypia: To Surgically Excise or Not? A Systematic Review
Authors: Shah M H , Flari E 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Aim
The review aims to evaluate management strategies for intraductal papilloma without atypia and propose a novel "Traffic Light System" for effective risk stratification.

Method
This systematic review was conducted by searching PubMed/MEDLINE, SCOPUS and EMBASE databases for relevant studies addressing intraductal papilloma without atypia and its management. Keywords used included ‘intraductal papilloma’ ‘atypia’ ‘surgical resection’ ‘risk of malignancy’ ‘histological upstaging’. Inclusion criteria encompassed original research articles and clinical trials, while reviews, commentaries, and non-English articles without English s were excluded. Data extraction focused on diagnostic methods, treatment modalities, outcomes, and recurrence rates.

Results
Out of 244 identified articles, 9 met the inclusion criteria, covering a total of 664 patients. Among them, 57 patients (8.58%) were upstaged, with 1.5% progressing to atypia. Most of these patients were within the 45-64 age bracket, likely influenced by increased symptomatology and routine screening practices. In light of these findings, we devised the "Traffic Light System" for risk stratification. Within this system, younger patients are considered lower risk; as age increases, the risk becomes progressively higher. Histological findings that are found closer to terminal duct lobular units (TDLUs) on core needle biopsy also signify a higher risk category.

Conclusions
Our proposed "Traffic Light System" offers a structured approach to risk stratification for managing intraductal papilloma without atypia. By considering factors such as age and histological details, this system aims to facilitate more individualized and evidence-based treatment decisions.
407 Peri-Operative Usage of Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) in Cardiac Surgery: A 3-Cycle Audit Reflection
Authors: Rao E , Allam M , Karamanou D 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Aim
PPIs reduce gastric ulceration after cardiac surgery; thus patients should receive it the day prior and of surgery. GI protection should continue until patient is eating and drinking, unless on DAPT and continued until discharge. Discharge letter should clearly state the indication and duration for prescribed PPI where patient is on DAPT. The aim of this 3-cycle audit study was to results to see if our recommendations improved compliance.

Method
Three cycles of data were collected from sequential patients where patient in-patient notes, drug charts and discharge letters were reviewed – first round (n=50, Oct 2019 - Jan 2020), second round (n=51, Dec 2021), third round (n=50, Jan to Jun 2023).

Results
Across 3 cycles, patients prescribed PPI preoperatively were 96%, 100% and 86% respectively. The data across 3 cycles showed that once drinking and eating, patients discontinued from PPI were 25%, 6% and 19% with continuations documented in 38%, 12% and 38% cases. 100% patients on DAPT were continued on PPI and after discharge with 87%, 68% and 62% having indication and duration for the PPI prescription documented in the discharge letters over 3 cycles.

Conclusions
Data over 3 cycles showed non-adherence to the standards persisted across most domains despite recommendations of team reminders of PPI protocols. This can be contributed to action-based errors in recording n drug charts as universal/standard documentation practices were not used. These could be mitigated by including guidelines on tick-box-checklists preoperatively, at ward rounds and discharge letters. This would be more time-effective, ultimately leading to better compliance.
