Introduction. There are a wide range of techniques available for the removal of hyperplastic prostate tissue. However, the choice of method rarely considers its eﬀect on ejaculatory function.Objectives. To evaluate the eﬀect of surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by endovideosurgical posterior adenomectomy (EVS AE) and transurethral electroenucleation of the prostate (TUEB) on copulatory function and its ejaculatory component.Materials & methods. Sixty sexually active patients aged 58 to 78 years with indications for surgical treatment of BPH were included in the study. The patients were randomized into two equal groups. The ﬁrst group (30 patients) underwent EVS AE by standard technique without preservation of the prostatic urethra. The second group (30 patients) underwent TUEB. Before treatment, standard questionnaires used in urologic practice were completed: IIEF-5, IPSS-QOL, and the scale of quantitative assessment of male copulatory function (scale “MCF”). The block of questions speciﬁcally characterizing the ejaculatory component and the "Male Sexual Health Questionnaire", namely the section " Ejaculatory function domain", were analyzed separately. The assessment was conducted before treatment and at the 12th week following surgery. No signiﬁcant diﬀerences were found between the groups on any of the questionnaires prior to surgery.Results. Three months following surgery, there was a signiﬁcant improvement in the IPSS-QOL scores for the EVS AE group, by 24 points and 4.3, respectively, and for the TUEB group, 25.6 points and 4.3 (both p < 0.0001). No change was observed in the IIEF-5 questionnaire (p > 0.05). A slight reduction in scores was noted on the MCF scale for the TUEB group (by 2.9 points, p < 0.05), indicating that the general state of erectile function remained unchanged. However, reductions were seen in the "MCF — Ejaculatory Component" and "Male Sexual Health Questionnaire — Ejaculatory function domain" scales for the TUEB group, with ballpark scores decreasing by 3.2 and 6.8 points, respectively (both p = 0.0326 and p = 0.0254), indicating a worsening in ejaculatory function following TUEB treatment.Conclusion. When selecting a speciﬁc surgical approach for BPH management, consideration should be given to the patient's tolerance for the degree of invasiveness of the procedure while preserving ejaculatory function, and adherence to a treatment strategy that aligns with the patient's individual preferences and expectations.

BACKGROUND

The Domestic Abuse Plan and Strategic Direction for Sexual Assault and Abuse Services set out a stronger system, prioritising the improvement of healthcare staff’s ability to identify and refer domestic abuse and sexual violence victim/survivors, as key areas for supporting workforce development.

OBJECTIVE

The Microsoft HoloLens 2 is an augmented reality headset that projects holographic patients (HoloPatients) into the classroom. This evaluation explored potential uses of the HoloPatients in domestic abuse and sexual violence training, as a potential survivor-centred educational initiative.

METHODS

In this qualitative feasibility study, frontline staff and community stakeholders from the domestic abuse, social care and law enforcement sectors were invited on three separate occasions (n=14, 12, 22) to a HoloLens demonstration which displayed nine patients. Participant feedback was obtained using post-evaluation surveys.

RESULTS

Survey data was analysed thematically. The HoloPatient was described as a ‘realistic’, 'adjustable’ tool which ‘creates a safe learning environment’. Uses include ‘pre-exposure preparation’ by ‘improving communication’ with the use of victim/survivor scripts. Identified as a suitable tool for workers inside and outside healthcare, including social care and law enforcement.

CONCLUSIONS

The HoloPatient acts as a low risk, adaptable tool, feasible for trainees to develop skills in a safe environment. This study demonstrates that professionals perceived the HoloLens as an innovative means to amplify the lived experience voice. Further research will evaluate this additional impact on trainees’ confidence and responses to victim/survivors disclosing domestic abuse and sexual violence within different disciplines, to drive improved outcomes.

A continuous training of trainers (ToT) of Korean language who teach in Training Institutions has been conducted by Korean Language and Culture Program Studies since 2019. This training was a cooperation with the Association of Korean Language Training Institutions or well known as PELBAKORI. In the past training, Korean language ability mapping using pre-assessment of trainers has not been done. Therefore, Korean speaking ability mapping was conducted by examining the pronunciations and skill of understanding and answering of questions. To collect data, we used the recording, and those recordings that were sent before the training program were analyzed and classified into each type of error. In the future, this collected data can be a reference for designing books for trainers and also be data for future research related to Korean Language Trainers.

Pelatihan kepada para instruktur bahasa Korea di lembaga pelatihan kerja (LPK) diadakan secara berkelanjutan oleh Prodi Bahasa dan Kebudayaan Korea, Universitas Gadjah Mada bekerja sama dengan Perkumpulan Lembaga Pelatihan Bahasa Korea di Indonesia (PELBAKORI). Di pelatihan-pelatihan sebelumnya, pemetaan kemampuan peserta pelatihan tidak dilakukan sehingga prodi tidak tahu sejauh mana kemampuan bahasa Korea para instruktur. Oleh karena itu, pemetaan kemampuan berbicara dilakukan dengan cara menguji pelafalan dan kemampuan memahami dan menjawab pertanyaan. Untuk mengumpulkan data tersebut, peserta pelatihan diminta mengirimkan rekaman. Rekaman kemudian dianalisis untuk menjadi bahan acuan tim dalam melaksanakan pelatihan. Ke depan, data ini bisa jadi data untuk pengembangan buku atau penelitian tentang kemampuan bahasa Korea instruktur.

Authors: Askar Mehdi Behdarvandi 
Published: May 2024

Given that the most basic issue in the study of drag coefficient is the
correct and accurate measurement of force, so the use of a method that
can directly measure the force of flow is very important because it can
provide a more realistic analysis of drag coefficient. Also, the results
obtained from this method are compared with the results obtained from
other methods .This research has calculated the drag coefficient and
friction factor using the direct measurement method and physical
modeling in a hydraulic knife-edge flume, which is a particular type of
flume capable of directly measuring the flow force. In this study, five
vegetation diameters, 20, 25, 30, 40, and 50 mm, as well as two types of
ordered and non-ordered arrangement, and three vegetation positions in
floodplains, main channel and simultaneously vegetation in main channel
and floodplain, considering five inline spacing, and three Cross line
spacing between vegetation, which included a total of 451 different
experiments, were examined. In this paper, the φ value is between
0.0017-0.31, and the vegetation’s Reynolds number is in the range
3512-29213. The results revealed that the method and calculations
implemented in the field of drag coefficient are suitably similar to the
drag coefficient obtained from the force balance equation; moreover to
calculate drag coefficient and friction factor in the examined scope, C
D = α 1 ( λ * ) α 2 and f T = β 1 ( Ln λ * + β 2 were achieved based on
the vegetation parameter ( λ * ) . The coefficients of α 1 . α 2 . β 1
and β 2 considering the experiments and different position and
arrangement of vegetation were presented.
Monitoring Salt Domes Used for Energy Storage with Microseismicity: Insights for a Carbon-Neutral Future
Authors: Omojola Joses , Persaud Patricia 
Published: May 2024

Underground storage in geologic formations will play a key role in the
energy transition by providing low-cost storage of renewable fuels like
hydrogen. The sealing qualities of caverns leached in salt and
availability of domal salt bodies make them ideal for energy storage.
However, unstable boundary shear zones of anomalous friable salt can
enhance internal shearing and pose a structural hazard to storage
operations. Considering the indistinct nature of internal salt
heterogeneities when imaged with conventional techniques like reflection
seismic surveys, we develop a method to map shear zones using seismicity
patterns in the US Gulf Coast, the region with the world’s largest
underground crude oil emergency supply. We developed and finetuned a
machine learning algorithm using tectonic and local microearthquakes.
The finetuned model was applied to detect microearthquakes in a 12-month
nodal seismic dataset from the Sorrento salt dome. Clustered
microearthquake locations reveal the three-dimensional geometry of two
anomalous salt shear zones and their orientations were determined using
probabilistic hypocenter imaging. The seismicity pattern, combined with
borehole pressure measurements, and sonar surveys show
the spatio-temporal evolution of cavern shapes within the salt dome. We
describe how shear zone seismicity contributed to a cavern well failure
and gas release incident that occurred during monitoring. Our findings
show that caverns placed close to shear zones are more susceptible to
structural damage. We propose a non-invasive technique for mapping
hazards related to internal salt dome deformation that can be employed
in high-noise industrial settings to characterize salt domes used for
storage.
Modeling and Predicting PM2.5 Concentration at a Construction Site Using the Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Manzhilevskaya S. E. 
Published: May 2024

Introduction. High concentration of PM2.5 has the adverse effect on people's health. According to the evaluations made by the researchers, the impact of the particulate matter from the construction dust emissions resulted in 18% of deaths from respiratory diseases. Due to the growth of construction production volume and consequent increase of dust emission volumes, there arises the need to expand the scope of using the end-to-end technologies, namely the artificial intelligence technologies, for predicting the fine-dispersed dust particles PM2.5 concentration in dust emissions at the construction site.Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, the measurements of PM2.5 concentration at the construction site were carried out using the Handheld 3016 IAQ particle counter in the period from July 1 to July 6, 2023 taking into account the meteorological characteristics of the territory, which then became the input data for modelling the forecast of dust pollution concentration using such algorithms as ARIMA, EMA, XGBoost, etc., and the ensemble models that included the above machine learning algorithms. The efficiency of using these technologies for predicting was determined by comparing the results of the forecast and the field measurements data.Results. A correlation analysis was performed using the Modeltime program, which determined the relationship between PM2.5 concentration and meteorological variables. Autocorrelation was performed using Pearson correlation. At the first stage, four one-dimensional models based on the artificial intelligence were evaluated to determine the accuracy of mean concentration forecast. The next step was to evaluate the capacity of predicting the mean PM2.5 concentration using the multidimensional models that took into account the relationships between the independent and dependent variables. At the final stage of the research, three most efficient predictive models were included to test the ensemble model.Discussion and conclusion. The reliable predictive models can be the useful tools for understanding the concentration impact factors. In the present research, seven machine learning algorithms were used to predict the concentration of PM2.5. The research, as a whole, presents the evidences of the integrated modeling method efficiency for predicting the air pollution.
Optimisation of Supports’ Position for a Reinforced Concrete Slab of Arbitrary Geometry
Authors: Efimenko E. A. 
Published: May 2024

Introduction. A number of research held in recent years on rational design of buildings and structures built for different purposes study the rational position of the vertical members — columns or supports. However, the majority of up-to-date research and publications focus on elucidating the rational position of the supports in the context of improving the efficiency of the beams. Whereas the behaviour of the reinforced concrete slabs affected by changing the position of the supports is not covered well enough in the modern research. The present study is targeted exactly at revealing the behaviour of the reinforced concrete slab structures of a building in case of varying position of the main supports.Materials and methods. During the present numerical experiment, a reinforced concrete slab of arbitrary geometry with the given thickness h, the concrete grade with the respective properties and the reinforcement possessing the properties according to its class, has been investigated. Additionally, it was decided to set the distance magnitudes from the centers of gravity of the upper and lower row of reinforcement to the bottom and top surface of the slab 𝑎𝑥, 𝑎′𝑥, 𝑎𝑦, 𝑎′𝑦. The number of columns n was set for the slab. It was considered that the number of columns was known, but their position could change. Moreover, among the total number of columns, there were distinguished the certain ones having the definite (constant) position, whereas the remaining supports could change their position within the slab area. Bearing in mind the above, the researchers were to solve the problem of rational position of the moveable columns.Results. This paper presents the results of the numerical experiment on identifying the most optimal (rational) position of the reinforced concrete columns supporting a slab of the arbitrary geometry. Based on the several parameters at once, such as deflection, potential strain energy and consumption of the reinforcement products, the analysis of the rational position of the supports under the slab was made and functional dependences on changing the above mentioned parameters have been presented in the work.Discussion and conclusion. Based on the results obtained in the numerical experiment, the analysis of the behaviour of the reinforced concrete slabs of a set thickness upon changing the position of the supports under the slab was made and the changes of the slab operational parameters were analysed and compiled into the functional dependences.
Determining the Most Efficient Method of Strengthening the Reinforced Concrete Columns under Different Loading Levels
Authors: Georgiev S. V. , Mailyan D. R. , Solovyeva A. I. 
Published: May 2024

Introduction. The method of strengthening the reinforced concrete structures is chosen depending mainly on the cost and timeframe of the performed work. In each specific case, the decision is made depending on the load, type of defects, operational features, etc. Apart from the direct costs of inspection, strengthening project design, materials, lifting and transport services and the cost of strengthening works proper, there is a number of additional costs related to the technological features of the work performed. Among the new methods of strengthening, the method of external strengthening with the composite carbon materials can be particularly emphasised. Compared to the previously developed methods of strengthening with the reinforced concrete and metal, the composite systems are easily transportable and do not incur additional costs. The aim of this study is to determine the method of strengthening most rational for the compressed structures.Materials and methods. The authors have examined three methods of strengthening the compressed reinforced concrete structures. In the frame of the research a numerical experiment has been carried out, in which a reinforced concrete column was strengthened at different strengthening coefficients from 1.1 to 2.0, i.e., from 10 to 100% of strength increase. The estimations of the cost of strengthening the column by three methods of strengthening have been carried out: jacketing using the reinforced concrete, metal and composite materials. After carrying out thirty variants of calculation, a table presenting all specifications and quantities of the materials has been drawn up. At the final stage of the research, the total cost of each method under investigation has been estimated based on the prices of the selling companies.Results. The analysis of strengthening with the reinforced concrete revealed that at most of the strengthening coefficients the achieved structural reinforcement is minimal. Under the high loading levels strengthening with the metal is not economically expedient, as it implies the use of the large-section angles. The composite material systems of external strengthening are very material-consuming at all load increasing coefficients. Taking into account the high cost of materials, this method is basically the least economically expedient.Discussion and conclusion. Based on the results obtained, the efficiency of three most common methods of strengthening the reinforced concrete compressed columns was analysed. Proposals on the rational design of the strengthening systems for the eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete poles under the different eccentricities of load applied have been developed.
