Published: June 2024

Abstract
Objectives
This paper outlines the engagement process that was used to develop the Northwest Territories Alcohol Strategy, based on a recommendation by the developers of the Canadian Alcohol Policy Evaluation report, and how this informed the final actions in the strategy.

Methods
A literature review, four targeted engagement activities, and iterative validation by advisory groups and community and Indigenous leadership were used to evaluate, modify, or reject the original recommendations and develop the final actions that were included in the NWT Alcohol Strategy.

Results
There are fourteen original CAPE recommendations, four of which had already been implemented in the Northwest Territories before the development of the strategy. On completion of the process, four recommendations had already been implemented in the NWT. Two recommendations were included in the strategy without changes, two were adapted for use in the strategy, and six were not included. One stand-alone alcohol policy measure was created and included.

Conclusion
Alcohol strategies are dependent on a variety of contextual factors. Developers need to take into consideration the unique geography, political climate, and cultural context of the region for which they are being developed, in order to produce a strategy that is applicable, acceptable, and feasible at the community level.

Background. Allergies are a global medical and social problem. According to international statistics, the number of allergic diseases has increased dramatically in recent decades. In recent years, the largest increase in the incidence of bronchial asthma, pollinosis and dermatoses has been noted. Currently, significant success has been achieved in understanding the causes and mechanisms of allergic inflammation and in forming approaches to the treatment of allergic diseases. Among second-generation antihistamines, loratadine, an effective antiallergic drug, is excreted. However, in the pharmaceutical market, the range of its dosage forms is small – the drug is available in the form of tablets, capsules and syrup. Prednisolone is a drug that quickly copes with an allergic reaction and helps prevent unwanted complications. In this regard, it is proposed to develop a tablet dosage form of a combined composition. Combined technology was used in the development of model compacted tablet formulations. The release and assay of active ingredients from model tablets of different compositions were determined using the Dissolution test and by high performance liquid chromatography, respectively.Aim. Development of loratadine and prednisolone tablets of the combined structure.Materials and methods. Combined technology was used in the development of model compacted tablet formulations. The release of the active ingredients from the tablets was confirmed by the Dissolution test in HCl dissolution medium (0.1 M). The assay of the active ingredients in the formulation was determined by high performance liquid chromatography.Results. The conducted studies made it possible to determine the composition of the combined tablets, which ensures the initial release of prednisolone and the subsequent release of loratadine. In the Dissolution test, the chosen model composition of tablets No. 1 provided release of 84.4 % prednisolone and 81.5 % loratadine, respectively, at the 10th and 30th minutes.Conclusion. The possibility of preparing a tablet dosage form providing a sequence of release of active substances has been demonstrated.

The cost-effectiveness of an additional surgical scrub in reducing prosthetic joint infections in total hip and knee arthroplasty
Authors: Tye Cooper , Lawand Jad , Moretti Vincent 
Published: June 2024

Background: Surgical skin preparation prior to total knee and hip arthroplasty is an important step in infection prevention. Compared to a single application, repeat skin preparation after draping demonstrates greater efficacy in reducing the overall occurrence of surgical site infections in total joint arthroplasty. We sought to find if the addition of an extra surgical scrub after draping is a cost-effective means of decreasing prosthetic joint infection (PJI), and if so, under what conditions it would be most cost-effective.
Methods: We employed a model to assess the cost-effectiveness of repeat skin preparation in total knee and hip arthroplasty. This model determines a threshold at which the expenses associated with a new intervention is offset by its ability to reduce overall costs. Literature review and records from our institution were used to draw average expenses for treatment of PJI, as well as surgical prep scrubs, to evaluate at their cost-effectiveness. We also compared against hypothetical higher and lower costs and infection rates to gain further information on the additional surgical prep’s cost-effectiveness.
Results: Each of the surgical scrubs is cost-effective at our institution's cost when an absolute risk reduction (ARR) of 0.01% is achieved. The cost-effectiveness was also noted with hypothetically higher infection rates and scrub cost prices. Lower potential two-stage revision costs make the additional surgical scrub less cost-effective.
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that an extra surgical scrub can be cost-effective way of decreasing PJI across a variety of different surgical scrub prices, arthroplasty revision costs, and PJI rates.

Este artigo se trata de um relato de experiência que tem como objetivo apresentar e discutir experiências de violência sexual em mulheres cisgêneros ocorridas na fase da infância e/ou adolescência e repercussões na construção de suas imagens corporais. A escuta a essas mulheres foi realizada a partir da experiência de uma psicóloga residente durante o período da Residência Multiprofissional em um Hospital e uma Unidade de Saúde da Família (USF), localizados em Salvador, Bahia, Brasil. A partir da utilização das tecnologias leves e da abordagem da Clínica dos Afetos, a escuta dos relatos das mulheres revelou histórias de violência sexual na infância praticadas, em sua maioria por pais e padrastos, desproteção, abandono e violência praticadas pelas figuras maternas, ausência de atenção e acompanhamento psicossocial às suas situações de violência, bem como desvalorização de sua autoimagem e imagem corporal. As experiências de violência sexual relatadas reafirmam as transversalidades dos marcadores de classe, raça e gênero nas histórias destas mulheres, e a necessidade de que os serviços de saúde fomentem estratégias de escuta, vínculos e suporte para a atenção à saúde física e mental deste perfil de usuárias, na perspectiva da integralidade do cuidado.

Published: June 2024

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between gratitude and happiness in mothers of exceptional children. The research hypothesis in this study was a positive relationship between gratitude and happiness in mothers of exceptional children. The participants in this study were 65 mothers of exceptional children aged 18 - 60 years. This study used two scales, namely the happiness scale translated by Ramadhonna (2017), referring to The Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS) developed by Lyubomirsky and Lepper (1999). The gratitude scale, adapted from Surya (2016), refers to the aspect of the gratitude scale proposed by Al-Jauziyah (1998). The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was used to analyze the data in this study. The results of the data analysis showed that r = 0,520 with the significance p = 0,000 (p <0,05). The determination analysis (r2) showed that gratitude contributes 27% to the happiness of mothers of special needs children. Thus, it can be concluded that the hypothesis proposed in this study was accepted. The researcher also conducted additional analyses based on the demographic data, and then the discussions on the findings will be discussed further. Gratitude is highly recommended in interventions to increase happiness or well-being.
Shear Thickening, Star-Shaped Polymer Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Published: June 2024

The safety concerns associated with current lithium-ion batteries are a significant drawback. A short-circuit within the battery&#039;s internal components, such as those caused by a car accident, can lead to ignition or even explosion. To address this issue, a polymer shear thickening electrolyte, free from flammable solvents, has been developed. It comprises a star-shaped oligomer derived from a trimethylolpropane (TMP) core and polyether chains, along with the inclusion of 20 wt.% nanosilica. Notably, the star-shaped oligomer serves a dual function as both the solvent for the lithium salt and the continuous phase of the shear thickening fluid. The obtained electrolytes exhibit an ionic conductivity of 10-6 S cm-1 at 20 °C and 10-4 S cm-1 at 80 °C, with a high Li+ transference number (t+ = 0.79). A nearly thirtyfold increase in viscosity to a value of 1187 Pa s at 25 °C and a critical shear rate of 2 s-1 were achieved. During impact, this electrolyte could enhance cell safety by preventing electrode short-circuiting.

Statistical Upscaling of Transport Parameters Considering Heterogeneous Porosity and Facies Distribution: An Application for Warm Solvent Injection Processes Modeling
Authors: Andriianova Elena , Leung Juliana Y. 
Published: June 2024

Summary
This paper presents a statistical upscaling workflow for warm solvent injection (WSI) processes, a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional thermal-based heavy oil extraction methods. The complexity of the heat and mass mechanisms involved in WSI makes flow simulation and optimization challenging. A two-step flow-based upscaling workflow is presented for handling static (facies proportions, porosity, and permeability) and dynamic properties (longitudinal and transverse dispersivity). The first step involves quantifying the effect of numerical dispersivity for a homogeneous model, while the second step incorporates the scaleup of uncertainty in heterogeneity. The method is flexible for handling anisotropic dispersivity upscaling for 3D models. Several novel aspects include (1) considering facies distributions (e.g., sand vs. shale layers), (2) extending the method to 3D, and (3) implementing a cloud transform to sample from the conditional probability distributions of longitudinal and transverse dispersivity considering porosity and net-to-gross (NTG) ratio. An ensemble of coarse-scale models is simulated, demonstrating the proposed workflow’s effectiveness in capturing spatial heterogeneity and improving WSI simulation accuracy in heterogeneous reservoirs.
Reliable Equivalent Alkane Carbon Number Determination for Dead and Live Crudes in Microemulsion Systems
Authors: Yoga Hanif F. , Gasimli Nijat R. , Johns Russell T. 
Published: June 2024

Summary
A successful surfactant flood maximizes oil recovery by achieving ultralow oil/water interfacial tension (IFT) at the optimal salinity (S*). Optimal salinity, among other parameters, is dependent on the equivalent alkane carbon number (EACN) of the oil pseudocomponent. In this paper, we compare common EACN determination methods used for dead crude at ambient pressure and then propose a third more consistent and reliable method that simultaneously fits data from both methods. The first method is based on a linear plot of lnS* and EACN of pure alkanes, where the dead crude EACN is linearly interpolated using the measured lnS* of the crude. The second method determines the crude EACN by iteration until the measured lnS* of the dead crude and all dilution measurements become nearly linear. For live oil, the EACN is based on the common linear EACN mixing rule but corrected for pressure.
The results show that inconsistencies in estimated crude EACN using the common two methods are resolved when regression is made on all data simultaneously and when an unbiased estimate of optimal salinity is made using hydrophilic-lipophilic deviation–net average curvature (HLD-NAC) theory, where the inverse of three-phase solubility is linear with lnS*. No nonlinear behavior, as has been reported in the literature using the same data, is observed when fit this way and using the simple graphical approach. The graphical approach determines the optimal salinity based on the intersection of the linear regressions of inverse oil and water solubility with lnS*. This approach has the advantage that the optimum is unbiased, and its uncertainty is easily estimated. Using a combination of ambient and high-pressure data, we also show that the EACN of the live oil can be estimated using a methane alkane carbon number (ACN) of 1.0, as it should physically be, when the effect of pressure is properly included.
