Experimental application of gliders communication system in South China Sea
Authors: Jia Shuyang , Liu Baoheng , Zou Sichen , Zhang Xiaochuan 
Published: February 2025

Utilizing the motion characteristics of underwater gliders, a water acoustic communication system based on heterogeneous gliders was designed. The system consists of a surface wave glider and an acoustic underwater glider, which are respectively equipped with ultra-short baseline and acoustic modulation and demodulation devices. Real-time data transmission is performed using underwater acoustic communication equipment. The glider consists of three cabins connected in sequence and is capable of diving to a depth of over 1,000 m. Two acoustic transducers are fixed separately at the bow and stern of the underwater glider to ensure that the energy transmission range and angle remain consistent to the surface wave energy glider even if the glider’s attitude changes. The underwater acoustic communication equipment is installed in the cabin and has a standby power consumption of only 5 mW. To verify the feasibility of this integration method, an offshore test was conducted in the South China Sea. The test results show that the underwater glider can perform reliable acoustic communication over a distance of over 5 km. This study demonstrates the potential wide-ranging applications of acoustic underwater gliders in underwater sound measurement and collaborative networks, etc.
Unilateral baseball pitching: morphological and functional adaptations in the neck muscles

Published: February 2025

BackgroundFunctional asymmetry and muscle imbalances are recognized as contributors to injury risk in athletes. Sports with repetitive unilateral movements such as baseball pitching can lead to adaptations in shoulder and scapular muscles. There is a lack of research on whether these movements result in neck muscle alterations. Understanding potential asymmetries in neck musculature could provide valuable insights into athletes’ performance and injury prevention strategies.MethodsA total of 14 collegiate baseball pitchers and 15 controls voluntarily participated in this study. Bilateral dorsal neck muscle thickness, stiffness, neck range of motion (ROM), neck repositioning error, and extensor strength were measured, and the asymmetry between the two groups was compared. Rehabilitative ultrasound imaging was used to assess muscle thickness and stiffness. An inclinometer and a dynamometer were utilized to evaluate neck ROM and strength, respectively.ResultsThe mean age of the baseball pitchers and controls was 21.86 ± 1.6 and 25.87 ± 5.10 years, respectively. A significantly greater thickness of the splenius capitis on the non-dominant side was observed in baseball pitchers [p = 0.029, effect size (ES) = 0.857], whereas controls demonstrated symmetrical muscle thickness in all dorsal neck muscles. Pitchers exhibited higher neck extensor maximal voluntary contraction compared to controls (p = 0.017, ES = 0.926). Controls showed more bilateral differences in muscle stiffness in the splenius capitis and the semispinalis cervicis, although statistical asymmetry was not demonstrated.ConclusionThe cervical multifidus muscles showed bilateral symmetry despite the unilateral throwing motion in baseball pitching. However, unilateral neck rotation toward the non-dominant side appears to contribute to greater thickness of the splenius capitis on the non-dominant side of pitchers.

Published: February 2025

IntroductionSports fans' curiosity and impulsive buying tendencies are important topics in sports marketing, yet the mediating role of social media use intensity in linking these variables remains underexplored. Grounded in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theory, this study examines how social media use intensity mediates the relationship between sports fans' curiosity and impulsive buying behavior.MethodsThe study sampled 623 Taiwanese sports fans, including baseball and basketball enthusiasts, to investigate these relationships. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to test the proposed hypotheses, focusing on the mediating effect of social media use intensity.ResultsThe results indicate that social media use intensity fully mediates the relationship between sports fans' curiosity and impulsive buying tendencies. This highlights the significant role of digital engagement in shaping consumer behavior among sports fans.DiscussionThese findings emphasize the importance of fostering social media engagement as a strategic tool in sports marketing. By transforming fans' curiosity into tangible purchasing behavior, this study provides valuable theoretical and practical contributions to understanding fan behavior and offers actionable recommendations for sports marketers seeking to enhance their marketing strategies in the digital era.

Published: February 2025

The current study investigated the effects of pre-writing techniques, including mind-mapping and outlining on Vietnamese EFL learners’ descriptive paragraph writing at a university in Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Participants include 77 Vietnamese EFL students at Tra Vinh University. Data were collected through a test (pretest and post-test) and a questionnaire with 20 items. Quantitative data were analyzed by using SPSS. The findings showed that the students in experimental group 2 with outline condition had higher post-test scores than those in experimental group 1. Both mind-mapping and outlining achieved significant improvement in terms of grammar, mechanics, content, organization, and vocabulary; however, the development of outline condition is more sharply observed. In addition, the results from the questionnaire administered to two groups showed that students from the two conditions think positively about the role of the pre-writing techniques in their descriptive paragraph writing performance. These insights underscore the significance of employing pre-writing techniques as a valuable tool in enhancing writing skills. Finally, some recommendations for future researchers are also mentioned.
Physical vapor deposition of polymer thin films
Authors: USUI Hiroaki 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Physical vapor deposition (PVD) methods for polymer thin films were reviewed with an emphasis on those techniques&#xD;that use energy beams such as UV light, electron beam and ion beam. One class of PVD is direct evaporation&#xD;of polymer materials, which can produce thin films consisting of small molecular weight. Molecularly oriented&#xD;thin films can be obtained with this method for some type of polymers. The other class, called vapor-deposition&#xD;polymerization involves polymerization reaction in the process of film growth. The vapor-deposition polymerization&#xD;can be achieved either by stepwise reaction, such as polycondensation or polyaddition of coevaporated&#xD;monomers, or by chain reaction through radical polymerization of single monomer species activated by UV light,&#xD;electron beam, ion beam etc. Typical examples of film formation and applications are reviewed for each process.&#xD;Also, mentioned is a strategy to covalently tether the interface between the polymer film and the substrate.
Advances and challenges in novel non-perovskite-based ferroelectrics film for memory device applications
Authors: Funakubo Hiroshi , Okamoto Kazuki , Mimura Takanori 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Thin films of ferroelectric materials have been investigated for various applications because of their high dielectric constants, as well as piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. Ferroelectricity has been explored for memory applications because of its two stable states after releasing an electric field, depending on the direction. Perovskite-based ferroelectrics have been studied for the last 30 years for these applications and have already been commercialized. However, the degradation of their ferroelectricity with decreasing film thickness (below 30 nm) makes high-density memory applications difficult. A recent "discovery" of novel ferroelectrics, e.g., fluorite-type structure HfO2-based films and wurtzite structure AlN-, GaN-, and ZnO-based films, have enabled significant reductions in film thickness without noticeable degradation. In this article, we discuss the status and challenges of these novel non-perovskite-based ferroelectric films mainly for memory device applications.&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;&#xD;

Objective: Sexual crimes are one of the most offensive crimes committed against individuals. Given that individuals from every age and both genders are affected from this action. It appears as a serious problem that threatens society and preventive measures have to be taken against it. It is an undeniable fact that; mental health seriously affected by sexual assaulted or abuse. In this study, we aimed to evaluate forensic psychiatric examination reports of the cases that are send to examine whether or not any permanent psychiatric impairment after sexual assault or abuse.
Methods: Findings from examination of cases which are sent to Department of Forensic Medicine, Medical Faculty of Celal Bayar University between October 2012 and February 2014 for determining permanent psychiatric impairment were evaluated.
Results: Number of examined cases was 55 and number of diagnosed cases was 33. The age range of cases were from 7 to 77 years (SD=20.39±13.17). Of the cases; 57.6% (n=19) were younger than 18, 87.9% (n=29) were women, 63.7% (n=21) were simple sexual assaulted or abused, in the 72.8% offender was known by cases, in the 30.3% (n=10) crime happened at the home of offender or case. As a result of forensic psychiatric evaluation, in the %30.3 of cases (n=10) were detected permanent psychiatric impairment.
Conclusion: Examination of cases has to be performed scrupulously because, permanent psychiatric impairment by sexual crimes, not only negatively affect case his/her social environment but also it is a country's laws punishment-enhancing factor.

Intraduction: The aim of the study is to investigate the protective effect of 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate on an acute pancreatitis model through an experimental study.
Materials and Methods: 30 Spraque-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into three groups: Sham , Pancreatitis and Pancreatitis + 2-APB. Pancreatitis was induced by L-arginine administration. The therapeutic agent 2-APB was performed i.v. at a dose of 2 mg/kg 10 min before pancreatitis induction. From blood samples, superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, aspartate aminotransferase , alanine aminotransferase and creatinine levels were measured and the rats were sacrificed subsequently. Tissue samples were evaluated histopathologically. TUNEL staining method was used to visualize apoptotic cells.
Results: 2-APB significantly reduced serum MDA and creatinine levels in pancreatitis + 2-APB group. Unfortunately, SOD levels reduced significantly, too. Edema and hemorrhage in pancreatic tissue were lower, necrosis and fibrosis were higher in the 2-APB administered group. Additionally, in 2-APB given group, it was found that vacuolisation, epithelial desquamation, and congestion reduced in renal tubular epithelial. The number of apoptotic cells did not change in the pancreatic tissue in TUNEL staining.
Conclusions: 2-APB reduces renal damage caused by acute pancreatitis. However, protective effect has not been on pancreatic tissue with 2-APB administered group. Although 2-APB, which was shown to prevent the degradation of kidney functions due to pancreatitis, do not minimize the pancreas tissue damage, it can improve the prognosis of pancreatitis by reducing the damage of distant organs

Published: February 2025

Objective: To present the clinicopathological features of endometrial cancer (EC) patients with isolated liver or lung metastases and to compare the survival differences after diagnosis of recurrent disease.

Material and Methods: The clinical and histopathological data of the patients who were treated with a diagnosis of epithelial EC between January 1993 and May 1993 at Etlik Zubeyde Hanim Teaching and Research Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with isolated recurrence in liver (ILR) or lung (IPR) were included in the analysis.
Results: The clinical data of 162 patients with recurrent EC were available. Of these, 21 had IPR and 9 had ILR. Patients with ILR presented with more advanced stage, and omental and adnexal involvement was more common compared to patients with IPR. On the other hand, patients with IPR had higher grade disease. Fifty-seven percent of patients with IPR had grade 3 compared to 11% of grade 3 disease in ILR (p=0.02). The median time to recurrence (TTR) was 18 months (range 1-54) in the whole study population. While the median TTR of patients with IPR was 19 months, the median TTR of patients with ILR was 16 months (p=0.204). Both study groups have similar survival. The 1-year post-recurrence survival of IPR and ILR was 66% and 56% (p=0.129), respectively.
Conclusion: Although, isolated liver and lung metastases are the result of hematogenous spread in EC, clinicopathological features of these two recurrence patterns significantly differ. Clinicians should try to categorize these patients separately to better understand the prognostic outcomes.

Published: February 2025

Objective: Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening syndrome characterized by muscle necrosis and the release of potentially toxic intracellular muscle constituents into the circulation. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most important complication of rhabdomyolysis and is associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality. The main objectives of this study were (1) to characterize the most common etiologies of rhabdomyolysis and (2) to determine the complications and outcomes (rhabdomyolysis-induced AKI, need for renal replacement therapy [RRT] and, 28-day mortality) in our sample.
Material and Methods: This retrospective, cross sectional, and single-center study was conducted in the ED of university hospital between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2013. We analyzed the clinical spectrum and evaluated the complications and outcomes for each patient.
Results: Forty-three eligible cases were enrolled in the study. The mean age was 52.0±21.9 years (range 16 to 92), and 81.4% were men. The two most common causes of rhabdomyolysis in this sample were trauma and infections (n=16; 37.2% and n=12; 27.9%, respectively). AKI occurred in 23 patients (53.4%), 13 of whom (30.2%) required RRT. All-cause 28-day mortality rate was 44.2% (n=19). The nonsurvival group had significantly increased peak creatinine level, increased phosphate level, and prolonged aPTT (P <.001, P =.003, and P =.001, respectively).
Conclusion: A substantial proportion of patients with rhabdomyolysis developed the complications of AKI and required RRT. Early recognition and aggressive fluid replacement should be considered for ED patients with rhabdomyolysis.

Published: February 2025

Objective: The delivery of curative radiotherapy is commonly has the potential of serious side effects. These side effects still remain dose-limiting factor for external beam radiotherapy and as also curative treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). New treatment alternatives, such as BNCT, are investigated to eliminate these limitations and to improve the therapeutic efficiency of radiation on tumour cells including prostate cancer. In this study, we investigated the efficiency of BNCT application by using our novel 10B carrier that was called as 10B-DG on PCa using an in vivo mouse xenograft model.
Material and Methods: PCa bearing Copenhagen rats (CRs) were used in this experimental animal study. A total of 12 CRs at the age of 2 months were used in this experimental animal study. MAT-LyLu PCa cells were injected subcutaneously into the peritoneal cavity of rats to create PCa model. The samples were divided into 4 groups: As, control, neutron irradiated, 10B-DG and 10B-DG + neutron irradiated group. 10BDG was administrated to tumour bearing rats and rats were exposed to 8.074 gy/hr thermal and epithermal. Tumour sizes were regularly measured by microtome and PET scan along 20 days.
Results: The results have shown that the tumor growth were regressed just in 10B-DG + neutron irradiated group. In addition that, PET-CT scan results revealed that 18FDG uptake was stopped in the BNCT treated group due to metabolic inactivation of ablated tumor tisue.
Conclusion: This study revealed that BNCT treatment can be successfully performed by using our novel 10B carrier 10BDG in the management of PCa. We suppose that this novel 10B carrier can take place as a safe and effective agent in routine clinical practice of BNCT.

Objective: Motorcycle injuries have shown a progression in last years in trauma patients admitted to our clinic. The aim of this study is to evaluate statistically whether the motorcycle accidents’ incidence is really has a progression or not.
Method:The study involved 180 patients (87 women, 93 men) operated for the fractures after a motorcycle crash between the first six months of 2002 and 2007. The injury patterns are investigated if there is a significant increase or not. The mean age was 45.2 years. In Group I; 50 patients (22 women, 28 men ) were included which operated in the first 6 months of 2002. The mean age was 44.8 years. In Group II; 130 patients (65 women, 65 men ) were included which operated in the first 6 months of 2007. The mean age was 45.7.
Results: We compared two groups and found a significant 3.425 increase in motorcycle injuries contrary to 0.075 decrease in falls, 0.023 decrease in traffic accidents within the vehicle, 0.013 decrease in traffic accidents out of the vehicle, 0.616 decrease in sports injuries, 0.25 decrease in gunshot injuries. This increase in motorcycle injuries is statistically significant.
Conclusion: We have found significant increase in motorcycle injuries statistically. The importance of this, it affects younger population, and they bring out high morbidity. Since; we think that motorcycle injuries must be stated especially in literatures. We must warn our colleagues to state this injuries, and must take precautions against this problem.
