Authors: Ghorbanalipour Masood , Alilou Shahla , Babalou Kosar , Akbarlou Nika 
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Hypertension is a prevalent condition among the elderly, significantly contributing to the burden of cardiovascular disease and related complications. This study examined how depression and perfectionism influence hypertension in older adults. It also explored how worry, tolerance for ambiguity, and problem-solving skills might influence this relationship.

Methods: Researchers recruited 192 participants with hypertension from a health center in Khoy city, Urmia, Iran. Participants completed questionnaires that assessed depression, perfectionism, worry, ambiguity tolerance, and problem-solving skills. Statistical methods were used to analyze the data and identify relationships between these factors and hypertension.

Results: Depression, perfectionism, worry, and ambiguity tolerance were all significantly associated with hypertension. Interestingly, problem-solving skills were not linked to blood pressure. Further analysis revealed that worry played a reinforcing role in the link between depression/perfectionism and hypertension, while ambiguity tolerance had a protective effect. In other words, higher worry levels strengthened the association between depression/perfectionism and high blood pressure, while greater tolerance for ambiguity lessened this association.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that emotional factors like worry and intolerance for ambiguity can significantly impact blood pressure in older adults. Therefore, managing these emotions alongside depression and perfectionistic tendencies may be crucial for controlling hypertension.

Published: June 2024

This study addresses the critical issue of differential settlement and long-term fracture prevention in building foundations. Mistakes in designing strip and column foundations on natural soil often lead to cracks due to uneven settlements, as traditional methods prioritize matching foundation base pressure to soil bearing resistance, often neglecting settlement calculations. This research highlights the importance of incorporating settlement analysis into foundation design. A comparative review of existing methods and field data reveals significant disparities between standard design approaches and those considering settlement. Findings show that foundations designed with consistent settlement criteria exhibit better structural strength and reduced crack formation. The study underscores the need for a fundamental shift in foundation design procedures to include settlement analysis, ensuring the long-term durability and safety of buildings.
Highlights:

Traditional foundation design often neglects settlement calculations, leading to structural issues.
Incorporating settlement analysis results in stronger, more durable foundations.
Comparative review highlights the need for updated design procedures to prevent cracks.

Intermittent Fasting in Youth: A Scoping Review
Authors: Bakhsh Jomanah A. , Vidmar Alaina P. , Salvy Sarah-Jeanne 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Intermittent fasting (IF) focuses on the timing of eating rather than diet quality or energy intake, with evidence supporting its effects on weight loss and cardiometabolic outcomes in adults. However, there is limited evidence for its efficacy in adolescents and emerging adults. To address this, a scoping review examined IF regimens in individuals aged 10 to 25, focusing on methodology, intervention parameters, outcomes, adherence, feasibility, and efficacy. The review included 39 studies with 731 participants aged 15 to 25. Methodologies varied, with 18 studies on time-restricted eating and others requiring caloric restriction. Primary outcomes included cardiometabolic risk factors (11/29), body composition (9/29), anthropometric measurements (8/29), and feasibility (2/29). Most studies reported significant weight loss. This review underscores IF's potential in treating obesity in this age group but highlights the need for rigorous studies with standardized frameworks for feasibility to ensure comparability and determine IF’s practicality in this age group.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Rechargeable lithium-based batteries play a crucial role in the shift towards renewable energy, providing eco-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels and improving sustainability. However, their liquid electrolytes present significant safety risks, especially in electric vehicles. To address this, the process of gelation through cross-linking has emerged as a promising solution, effectively reducing the risk of combustion. Traditional gelation methods are time-consuming and costly, often taking up to an hour. In contrast, electron beam irradiation provides a highly efficient alternative, reducing the process to just seconds. This lowers production costs and meets the demands of high-volume manufacturing. In this study, the multiphysical phenomena in the coin cell were simulated using , which combines radiation transport modeling, phase change simulation of the gelation process, and thermal analysis. Through this, the peak temperature of the electrolyte in the coin cell was predicted and the time required for the temperature of the electrolyte to return to the ambient temperature was predicted.
RMLP-ViT: Recognizing Handwritten Chinese Examination Texts with ViT
Authors: Zhong Kaihe , Zhu Yuanping 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

It happens in the examination paper that text lines include inconsistent nonuniform word size, character erasure, diverse text length and dense long texts. This paper proposes an improved method for ViT to enhance its capability in recognizing text lines in handwritten Chinese examination papers. First, this method employs a segmentation method suitable for text line recognition and proposes a repeated multiscale linear projection (RMLP) method to enrich the spatial information of the image vectors, which improves the model's integration capability for patch vectors of multiple scales. Second, ViT is combined with CTC to achieve prediction for each patch, thus improving the robustness of ViT in Chinese handwritten text recognition. Experiments show that RMLP-ViT promises the recognition of examination paper text lines and achieves good performance on the SCUT-EPT dataset.

Published: June 2024

Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara yang memiliki potensi yang besar didalam sektor pertanian dan perkebunan, salah satu jenis tanaman yang saat ini dijadikan sebagai komoditas perkebunan yaitu kelapa sawit. Kelapa sawit merupakan salah satu komoditas perkebunan dan industri sebagai penghasil berbagai minyak seperti minyak industri, minyak masak, serta minyak bahan bakar atau biodiesel. Proses produksi nya dimulai dengan melakukan buah kelapa sawit sampai berubah menjadi Crude Palm Oil (CPO) atau minyak kelapa sawit. Salah satu parameter utama dalam menentukan kualitas dari CPO adalah kadar free fatty acid (FFA) yang terkandung didalam nya. FFA merupakan asam yang di bebaskan pada hidrolisa dari lemak yang ada pada kelapa sawit. Peningkatan kandungan FFA pada minyak kelapa sawit disebabkan oleh berbagai faktor salah satunya yaitu terjadinya kerusakan morfologi dan mikroorganisme pada buah kelapa sawit. Semakin tinggi presentase kandungan FFA pada CPO maka semakin rendah pula kualitas CPO tersebut, hal ini karena kadar FFA dapat menyebabkan banyak perubahan pada CPO.
yaitu dapat menyebabkan ketengikan, perubahan rasa pada minyak, serta warna pada minyak yang dihasilkan. Selain itu tingginya kadar FFA didalam minyak kelapa sawit juga dapat menyebabkan menurunnya nilai jual pada CPO sehingga akan mengakibatkan kerugian perusahaan.

Published: July 2024

Many Western and economically developed countries have already incorporated Artificial Intelligence (AI) into their newsrooms. As the media industry is constantly addressing new technological advancements, media scholars are highly confident about the combination of AI and the newsroom. This research investigates AI as a new prospect in the Bangladeshi journalism arena, focusing on the current state of AI usage and projecting the future by evaluating professional journalists’ ‘Mental Readiness’ across a variety of media companies. In the first phase, from the survey of 107 working journalists from 20 different news organisations, this study finds that journalists possess a mostly positive attitude towards AI and are willing to incorporate current technologies in their newsrooms. The majority of journalists are informed, yet many of them lack sufficient AI literacy. In the second part, in-depth interviews with five newsroom editors reveal that it is difficult for Bangladesh to make a significant transformation within a short period. Most of them believe that providing AI-enabled newsrooms in a developing country like Bangladesh is still a long shot, owing to economic and technological constraints.

Hereditary Ectodermal Dysplasia in Two Identical Siblings
Authors: Sarkar A. S. , Rao K. , Ajila V. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Primary defects in two or more ectodermally-derived tissues during embryonic development characterize ectodermal dysplasia, a vast, varied group of inherited illnesses. Skin, hair, nails, eccrine glands, and teeth are the primary tissues affected. Most cases of ectodermal dysplasia are caused by the X-linked recessive form of the disease (also known as Christ–Siemens–Touraine syndrome), which is passed down from female carriers to their male offspring. It is characterized by an absence of sweat glands (hypohidrosis or anhidrosis), malformed teeth (anodontia or hypodontia), and scant hair (atrichosis or hypotrichosis). Lack of teeth and unusual look were cited as major causes for alarm. The usual manifestations of hypohidrotic hereditary ectodermal dysplasia have been described in two case reports. Two identical siblings with possible typically X-linked recessive hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia are described here. Despite the lack of a cure, patients can benefit from a multidisciplinary approach to treatment planning and an expedient diagnosis.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
The 3D printing is a technology of manufacturing that is now well known. Usually the part is obtain using layer-by-layer deposition and the main inconvenience of this process is that the deposition of material takes place in the plane (2D space) and then it is moved to the next plane by applying a constant increment on the third axis. The accuracy of the product is given by the increment value. The properties of the product, such as strength, also is given by the bond that is made between the layer and the density of the layers. Nowadays, it is proposed a new type of 3D printing using robotic arms. This approach give the possibility to work in 3D space and obtain a 3D defined deposition. It is believed that the properties of the part will be improved together with the mechanical properties of the part. In this article will be presented a comparative study that will indicate the positive and negative aspects of both conventional 3D printing and robotic printing.
