Automatic detection of quartz glass subsurface defects by laser scattering method based on an ellipsoidal mirror
Authors: Chen Gengyang , Zhang Tengda , Zhang Weixun , Lu Rongsheng 
Published: March 2024

With the improvement of quality requirements of optical components, the detection of
subsurface defects of optical components has become a key technology.
The existing detection methods still have some limitations in
detection depth and detection efficiency. In this paper, a defect
scattering light collection method based on ellipsoidal mirror model
is used to analyze the scattering light collection efficiency under
different experimental conditions theoretically, and the favorable
conditions for improving the scattering light collection are proposed.
After simulation verification, the use of ellipsoidal reflectors to
collect scattered light can effectively avoid the impact of surface
defects compared to lenses. At the same time, an experimental system
based on this method is set up to filter the stray light by mean
filtering method. The system detected three scratches (2 μm in
width and 252 nm in depth) on the underside of a piece of
quartz glass. The results show that the system can clearly detect the
subsurface defects of optical components.

Authors: Halder Manik , Kasemi Nuruzzaman , Majumder Malasree 
Published: March 2024

Background
Despite a global decline in tobacco use reported by the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS), India stands out for its high number of tobacco users. While research in India often focuses on tobacco use among young adults, there’s a notable lack of studies addressing tobacco use among middle and old-aged women. However, the national prevalence of tobacco use among middle and old-aged (45 years and above) women in India is 18.2%. Thus, this study seeks to identify the factors influencing tobacco consumption among middle and old-aged women in the country.

Methods
The study has utilized secondary data from Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI) conducted in 2017–18. This study exclusively included a total of 38,180 middle and old-aged women who reported tobacco use. The analysis encompassed the utilization of Chi-square tests and Binary logistic regression to pinpoint the risk factors linked to tobacco use among middle and old-aged women.

Results
Our study reveals a heightened likelihood of tobacco use among middle and old-aged women residing in the northeastern region of India. The study underscores the imperative to direct targeted efforts toward middle and old-aged women who fall into specific categories, including those who are widowed, separated, or unmarried, individuals who consume alcohol, those with lower socioeconomic and educational standings, residents of rural areas, those living in solitude, individuals experiencing depressive symptoms, and those who self-report poor health.

Conclusion
Given the heightened susceptibility of these demographic groups to tobacco use, it is crucial to prioritize tobacco prevention and cessation initiatives specifically tailored to their needs and circumstances.
Association between sedentary behavior and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) in children and adolescents: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: de Oliveira Segundo Victor Hugo , de Azevedo Kesley Pablo Morais , de Medeiros Gidyenne Christine Bandeira Silva , Mata Ádala Nayana de Sousa , Piuvezam Grasiela 
Published: March 2024

Background
There is evidence in the literature suggesting that high time spent in sedentary behavior (SB) can reduce the Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) levels, an important neurotrophin that plays a role in modulating cognition, learning and memory. Children and adolescents usually spend many hours a day on SB, either sitting for a long time and/or using screen equipment.

Objective
The aim of this study is to describe a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol on the associations between SB and BDNF levels in children and adolescents.

Methods
This protocol is guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols and was published in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews database (PROSPERO: CRD42023392246). The databases that will be searched are EMBASE, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, and PubMed. Cross-sectional and cohort studies conducted with children and adolescents (5 to 19 yr) that analyzed the association between SB and BDNF will be included in the systematic review. The characteristics of the studies, methodological aspects, and main results will be described. Then, the risk of bias (assessed by STROBE and Newcastle-Ottawa scales) and the level of evidence (assessed by the GRADE tool) from included studies will be evaluated. Sub-group analysis will also be performed. Two experienced reviewers will perform the studies selection, data extraction, and methodological quality assessment.

Conclusion
This systematic review and meta-analysis will analyze the association between SB and BDNF in children and adolescents. The results will provide subsidies to better understand this relationship and will strengthen evidence-based practice for both health professionals and future researches.
Systemic reserve dysfunction and contrast-associated acute kidney injury following percutaneous coronary intervention
Authors: Kim Mi-Jeong , Jeon Doo Soo , Ahn Youngchul , Byeon Jaeho , Lee Dongjae , Choi Ik Jun 
Published: March 2024

Background
Developing contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is closely related to patient-related risk factors as well as contrast administration. The diagnostic and prognostic roles of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in CA-AKI following PCI are not well established.

Methods
Consecutive patients undergoing PCI were enrolled prospectively. CA-AKI was defined as an increase in the serum creatinine level ≥0.3 mg/dL within 48 hours or ≥1.5 times the baseline within 7 days after PCI. Serum NGAL concentrations were determined immediately before and 6 hours after PCI. The participants were classified into four NGAL groups according to the pre- and post-PCI NGAL values at 75th percentile.

Results
CA-AKI occurred in 38 (6.4%) of 590 patients. With chronic kidney disease status (hazard ratio [HR] 1.63, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.06–2.52), NGAL groups defined by the combination of pre- and 6 h post-PCI values were independently associated with the occurrence of CA-AKI (HR 1.69, 95% CI: 1.16–2.45). All-cause mortality for 29-month follow-ups was different among NGAL groups (log-rank p<0.001). Pre-PCI NGAL levels significantly correlated with baseline cardiac, inflammatory, and renal markers. Although post-PCI NGAL levels increased in patients with larger contrast administration, contrast media made a relatively limited contribution to the development of CA-AKI.

Conclusion
In patients undergoing PCI, the combination of pre- and post-PCI NGAL values may be a useful adjunct to current risk-stratification of CA-AKI and long-term mortality. CA-AKI is likely caused by systemic reserve deficiency rather than contrast administration itself.

Published: March 2024

Municipalities as key players in the transport transition, local authorities are increasingly using consultative public participation in planning. So far, however, it is unclear to what extent they use participatory processes in mobility-related planning and how these are organised. This paper closes this knowledge gap based on an analysis of the consultative, discursive participation processes for mobility-related planning in German cities since 2015. 180 cities and 350 procedures were analysed to determine to what extent an what characteristics in German municipalities use consultative, discursive participation procedures in mobility-related planning and what possible influence of the respective context can be derived from this. The study analyses ‘participation-oriented’ cities with guidelines for citizen participation, which were compared to a random selection of ‘typical’ municipalities in North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg and Saxony as well as the three German city states. It is clear that discursive consultations are carried out regularly, in particular in municipalities with guidelines and larger cities. Yet in most cities such processes are still the exception. Worth criticizing is that the formats used can usually reach only certain groups of the population and that for a significant proportion of the processes examined no information on the results of participation can be found. As a result, the potential of discursive citizen participation in addressing the municipal transport transition have not yet been sufficiently utilised.

Abstract
In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs) have grown in popularity as a viable way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing conventional vehicles. The need for EV batteries is steadily increasing. An essential and expensive part of electric transportation is the battery. The operating temperature of the lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery significantly impacts the performance of the EV battery pack. Battery packs undergo temperature fluctuations during the charging and discharging procedures due to internal heat generation, necessitating an examination of the temperature distribution of the battery pack. The geometrical spacing between cells is considered larger and identical and is kept open on two sides for free air circulation. A novel battery thermal management system (BTMS) design is required to effectively dissipate heat from the prismatic battery pack module. The electro-thermal behaviour of the prismatic Li-ion battery pack module was investigated based on the high charge/discharge rate. This study presents the development of a three-dimensional free open-source OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics model for prismatic cell battery packs that simulates heat generation, air flow field, and temperature distribution across the width and depth of the battery pack module. The prismatic battery pack simulation results are compared with the experimental and simulation results of the cylindrical battery pack. It was also revealed that prismatic cells generate more heat on the backside, requiring battery packs to have increased cooling and space between individual cells to ensure sufficient air circulation for cooling and gas removal. The BTMS is improved by designing with increased space among the prismatic battery cells as compared with the conventional prismatic cell battery pack design.
Effect of rare-earth Ce on the texture of non-oriented silicon steels
Authors: Zhao Lei , Yang Jichun , Hu Hongao , Fu Xiaoyang 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Macroscopic and microscopic textures of non-oriented silicon steel hot rolled sheets with different rare-earth Ce contents were investigated using X-Ray Diffraction, Electron Back Scatter Diffraction, and field emission scanning electron microscopy, and the magnetic properties of the cold-rolled annealed sheets were examined using a silicon steel sheet testing system. The results show that the addition of rare-earth Ce reduces the proportion of unfavorable γ texture intensity and texture {111} and enhances the proportion of favorable η texture intensity and texture {100} and {110} in the steel. Magnetic property tests show that rare-earth Ce favors the reduction in test steel loss and the increase in magnetic susceptibility. The main reason is that rare-earth Ce combines with O and S in steel to form large-size inclusions, which preferentially precipitate in the liquid steel and inhibit the precipitation of fine AlN and MnS inclusions, while denaturing the inclusions to spherical composite inclusions such as Ce2O2S-MnS, CeS-AlN, and CeAlO3, thus exerting a good effect of purifying the liquid steel and denaturing the inclusions.
Der ontologische Wandel des

Dao

in der deutschen Übersetzung
Authors: Hua Shaoxiang 
Published: March 2024

Zusammenfassung
Der Begriff Dao ist ein Kernbegriff des Daodejing (道德经). Seine ontologische Bedeutung wandelt sich in der deutschen Übersetzung von seiner ursprünglichen Bedeutung im chinesischen Originaltext. In diesem Wandel zeigt sich eine Veränderung der Interpretation des Dao in den verschiedenen Epochen. Diese Veränderung präsentiert nicht nur einen Wandel auf sprachlicher Ebene, sondern auch einen geistigen Entwicklungsprozess, der einen historischen Übergang von der theologischen Ontologie zur philosophischen Ontologie darstellt. In gewisser Weise spiegelt dieser Wandel von der theologischen Ontologie zur philosophischen Ontologie die Entwicklung der deutschen Geistesgeschichte wider.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Early adolescence is a period of growth and development determined by the onset of puberty, during which important changes in psychological development and social roles occur. Excessive use of the internet, especially in adolescents in this period, causes health problems such as postural disorders, vision problems, sedentary life, and unbalanced nutrition. When the studies are analyzed, it is observed that postural disorders are observed in children and adolescents. This study was planned to investigate the effect of postural habits and awareness on the level of internet addiction in early adolescents.

Methods
Physical characteristics of the participants (age, height, weight, gender, body mass index) were recorded. Duration and purpose of internet use and internet addiction were determined with the Young Internet Addiction Test-Short Form, body composition sensitivity level with the Body Awareness Questionnaire, and postural awareness with the Postural Habit and Awareness Scale.

Results
There was a significant positive correlation between internet addiction and duration of internet use (r=0.466) (p=0.000). In addition, there was no relationship between internet usage time and body awareness (r=−0.117) (p=0.084) and postural awareness and habit (r=−0.017) (p=0.798). When internet addiction was compared with body awareness, a significant relationship was found in the opposite direction (r=−0.145) (p=0.031). When internet addiction was compared with postural awareness and habit, a positive relationship was found (r=0.190) (p=0.005).

Conclusions
Our study showed that internet addiction negatively affects body awareness, and does not affect postural habits, but positively affects postural awareness.
Study on mixing characteristics of viscoplastic fluid in a rigid-flexible impeller stirred tank
Authors: Gu Deyin , Song Yinghua , Wen Li , Ye Mei 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The rigid-flexible impeller (RF impeller) was used in the mixing process of viscoplastic fluid, and the mixing performance of RF impeller was explored by using numerical simulation and experimental analysis. Results indicated that RF impeller could reduce the power consumption (P) and demonstrate the advantage of energy-saving compared with Rushton turbine (RT). RF impeller demonstrated a more pronounced force coupling effect between the impeller and surrounding fluid, and exhibited superior adaptability in the flow field compared with RT. Meanwhile, the utilization of RF impeller can effectively enhance the expansion of high velocity region, expand the cavern zone, and decrease the mixing efficiency number while maintaining constant P compared with RT, and the size of high velocity region and cavern zone could be increased with an increase in impeller speed. Moreover, the cavern structure was obtained through the visualization experiment, and the results were similar to that in the simulation. The findings suggested that incorporating rigid-flexible combination structure design of impeller blades could effectively expand the cavern zone, reduce the stagnant zone, and enhance the mixing efficiency in the viscoplastic fluid mixing process.
En torno a la comparabilidad entre la literatura contemporánea de China y la de América Latina: Un estudio de caso de los vanguardistas chinos y Jorge Luis Borges
Authors: Tan Denghua 
Published: March 2024

Resumen
Una investigación basada en comparación literaria entre Jorge Luis Borges y escritores chinos contemporáneos permite ver una imperfección del actual modelo y paradigma de estudio de la literatura comparada entre la china y la latinoamericana. En este artículo se enfocan en la comparabilidad, con propósito de localizar la base sobre la cual se realizan investigaciones al respecto e intercambios culturales, dentro de un marco hermenéutico de Friedrich Daniel Ernst Schleiermacher y Martin Heidegger. En favor del entendimiento de esta temática intercultural, la hermenéutica metodológica brinda de importante ayuda. Según su teoría, se demuestra que la recepción de Jorge Luis Borges por los escritores vanguardistas chinos y la descripción de China en obras del maestro argentino, dejan ver una selectividad del “receptor agente”, así como una reciprocidad entre ambas partes. Y detrás de esta hay varios hechos y razones, tanto colectivos como individuales, los cuales requieren de amplificación y profundización de investigación sintética, así como elevación del estudio de la literatura comparada al nivel intercultural. En este aspecto, la hermenéutica, definida como el arte de comprensión, que comparte elementos comunes con la cuestión de la comparabilidad, puede conducir an una nueva forma de pensar que nos ayude a llegar an una conclusión más profunda.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Foam has been widely used in drilling, well washing, and oil driving during the development of oil and gas fields. Although air foams have been successfully employed as an enhanced oil medium, the oxygen they contain can seriously corrode piping systems, which can have a negative influence on output. This work used a combination of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), dodecyl aminopropyl betaine (LAB), sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), and cosurfactants to solve the problem above. The corrosion inhibitor hydrazine hydrate (N₂H₄·H₂O) was added as corrosion inhibitor. The foaming (air)-corrosion inhibitor all-in-one (SLN) was obtained with the formulation of SDS: LAB: N₂H₄·H₂O = 8:2:4. The foam volume of 0.7 % SLN was measured to be 515 mL at room temperature with a half-life of 4.1 min using the stirring method. The initial foam height of this all-in-one agent was measured to be 15.6 cm at 30 °C using the Roche foaming method. The foam height was still maintained at 15.5 cm after 20 min with a foam height retention of 99.2 %. The foam height retention rate was 50.0 % at 70 °C. Moreover, the formulation had good salt resistance to common inorganic salts in oilfield water. It should be emphasized that the SLN all-in-one agent has strong corrosion inhibition performance, and the corrosion inhibition rate can reach up to 96.9 %. The surface tension of this SLN all-in-one agent was reduced to 27.8 mN m−1 at a concentration of 0.1 %. It indicated that the all-in-one agent might increase the stability of the foam by decreasing the surface tension, thus improving the persistence of the foam and the effect of the repelling oil.
