Further understanding the pet primate trade in the U.S.
Dr Melissa Seaboch explores the potential drivers of the pet primate trade in the U.S. and the troubling impact on both animals and owners. Little is known about the pet primate trade in the United States and other non-habitat countries. It is widely reported that there are 15,000 pet primates in the U.S., but the source of this statistic is unknown. For comparison, up to 7,500 pet primates are licensed in the United Kingdom. This number does not include marmosets, the most commonly kept pet primate in the U.K. and the U.S., so there may be as many as 20,000 pet primates in the U.K.(1, 2) To better understand the prevalence of pet primate ownership in the U.S., we initially collected advertisements offering pet primates for sale from six exotic pet websites over a year. (3) We found advertisements for over 550 primates for sale, with marmosets and lemurs being the most common. This underestimates the number of pet primates because we only sampled a small number of websites. Pet primates are also for sale through other outlets, including websites, private and commercial breeders, social media, auctions, and pet stores.

The evolution of continuous glucose monitoring and advancing monitors
Afon Technology Ltd explains how its continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device provides a non-invasive and pain-free solution for people with diabetes. A small team in South Wales are working hard to be the first to develop a genuinely non-invasive continuous glucose monitor, which will be a huge game-changer in the world of diabetes and beyond. Diabetes is a global health issue, with 537 million adults living with the disease worldwide, and nearly 80% of those living in low- and middle-income countries. (1) This number is predicted to rise as high as 643 million by 2030, (1) making diabetes arguably one of the world’s biggest health crises.

Understanding empathetic design principles in engineering courses
Marcia Friesen, Dean at the Price Faculty of Engineering, the University of Manitoba, Canada, explores what empathic design principles in engineering courses can look like with advanced social justice. Engineering and other design disciplines are introduced early to a well-known design cycle. Although the terms may vary, the standard design cycle iteratively moves through defining, ideating, decision-making, prototyping, testing, re-design, and communicating.

Research to reduce polarisation in the swedish energy policy debate
Filip Johnsson, Professor at Chalmers University of Technology, argues that research can help to reduce polarisation in the Swedish energy policy debate. Sweden is an industrial country rich in natural resources such as iron ore, timber, and rivers for hydropower generation. These favourable conditions and the fact that Sweden remained neutral in WW2, resulted in strong post-war industrialisation, with many large companies expanding and becoming global players, including iron ore mining, steel companies, automotive industries, telecommunications, and the pulp and paper, shipbuilding and textile industries.

Recycling fibre-reinforced composite parts
Uncured carbon fibre recycling by Bulk Moulding Compound (BMC). Another route to valorise the fresh carbon prepreg scrap from aeronautical field has been stablished by Gaiker in MC4. In this case the scrap is used to develop bulk moulding compound (BMC), an intermediate product relying on short fibre, for production of new composite for transport applications. This new approach permits valorise a wide range of fresh prepreg scrap without any dimensional restrictions. This scrap is ground to reduce the fibre length and manufacture a BMC material mixing with new virgin resin formulation. An appropriate virgin resin formulation should be defined based on properties of scrap to ensure the compatibility between scrap and virgin material. The BMC produced is transformed to final composite part by a moulding process where temperature, pressure and time should be stablished to ensure the polymerization of material as well as correct geometry qualities and tolerances. Regarding the properties of this new composite, the initial studies reveal that the mechanical performance of the composite produced with new BMC is equivalent to commercial BMC based on virgin raw materials, with more than 250 MPa of flexural strength and more than 80 MPa of tensile strength.

Interdisciplinary research on the splitting process of various particles
Professor Ken Naitoh from the Department of Applied Mechanics and Aerospace Engineering at Waseda University in Japan, walks us through universal laws discovered from outstanding integrated interdisciplinary research on the splitting processes of various particles. This profile will discuss universal patterns revealed by particle breakups research, particularly interdisciplinary connections. This discussion will include hyper-gourd theory for producing quantum leaps of subatomic, biological, cerebral, economic, cosmic, and information worlds, leading to a carbon-zero society, third universal medication, and easy earth-space drive. The inevitability of particular masses for various biological and abiological flexible particles lying from subatomic to cosmic levels is synthetically revealed as the scales fall from the eyes. This is possible because each “flexible” particle is commonly generated by a mode in which a larger particle mainly breaks up into two smaller ones through a “gourd” shape with two lumps while showing left-right symmetrical and asymmetrical divisions.
Using the High Order Performance Framework for Effective Leadership
Authors: Davis James 
Published: October 2023

Leaders, does your behavior match your goal? For those interested in leadership and character development, the first task is to build awareness and intentionality around the direction in which you hope to lead. Identify a goal. Only then can you create a culture, articulate a plan, and install feedback and enforcement mechanisms to align subsequent behaviors. In doing so, remember that the human condition is complex. As a leader, are you aware of all the components that impact high order performance outcomes? Are you creating situations that give your people a strong opportunity to succeed, or are you subconsciously degrading their top end performance? Effective leaders are not always perfect, but they must be aware of the myriad contributing factors at play. Effective leaders clarify objectives and thoughtfully craft environments. They set their people up for success.

Enerji Yoğunluğu ve Ekonomik Kompleksitenin Karbon Ayak İzi Üzerindeki Etkisi: Türkiye İçin Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi Hipotezinin Yeniden Gözden Geçirilmesi
Authors: Oluç İhsan 
Published: October 2023

Bu çalışma, enerji yoğunluğu ve ekonomik kompleksitenin Türkiye’nin karbon ayak izi üzerindeki etkisini 1965-2016 dönemi için Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi (EKC) çerçevesinde incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın kapsadığı dönem ve bu dönemde Türkiye ekonomisinin yaşamış olduğu yapısal dönüşüm göz önünde bulundurularak değişkenler arası ilişkiler yapısal kırılmalar altında incelenmiştir. Çalışmada öncelikle Carrion-i-Silvestre (2009) çoklu yapısal kırılmalı birim kök testi ardından Maki (2012) yapısal kırılmalı eşbütünleşme testi uygulanmıştır. Uzun ve kısa dönem katsayıları dinamik en küçük kareler yöntemiyle (DOLS) ile tahmin edilmiştir. Yapılan analize Hatemi-J asimetrik nedensellik testi ile son verilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda EKC hipotezinin doğrulandığı görülmüştür. Uzun dönem katsayı sonuçlarına göre enerji yoğunluğunun karbon ayak izini azaltırken ekonomik kompleksitenin karbon ayak izini arttırdığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışma sonuçları, politika yapıcıların ülke ekonomisinde verimliliği arttıracak ve üretimde enerji yoğunluğunu azaltacak ekonomik dönüşüm politikaları geliştirmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Böylece üretim faaliyetlerinin çevre üzerinde yarattığı baskı nispeten azaltılmış olacaktır.

The objective: to study the potential otoprotective and antioxidant activity of cytoflavin in new pulmonary tuberculosis patients receiving aminoglycoside amikacin.Subjects and Methods. A randomized controlled trial was conducted and included 90 patients with new infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis with decay, of both genders aged from 20 to 50 years old. Clinical, paraclinical and statistical methods were used in the study. Audiometric screening was carried out by Diagnostic Audiometer AD 226. The degree of antioxidant protection was determined by the oxidation reaction of ABTS in blood serum and plasma.Results. The study included 4 groups of tuberculosis patients and 1 group of healthy donors. Dissemination of pulmonary tuberculosis in 4 groups was approximately the same and was measured by scores. Prior to the start of treatment in all 4 groups (the group receiving standard chemotherapy (CTX) without amikacin, the group receiving «CTX+amikacin», the group receiving «CTX+cytofl avin», the group receiving «CTX+amikacin+cytofl avin») there was a decrease in blood antioxidant activity compared to Control Group. After 3 months of tuberculosis treatment in all 4 groups, the results improved, while in «CTX+Cytofl avin» Group they were similar to Control Group, and «CTX+Amikacin+Cytofl avin Group», they were only 4.8% less. The elevated level of leukocytes decreased by 10.6% in CTX Group, 16.9% in «CTX+Amikacin» Group, 38.3% in «CTX+Cytofl avin» Group, and 72.3% in «CTX+Amikacin+Cytofl avin» Group. In the study, manifestations of oto- and vestibulotoxicity were found only in the «CTX+Amikacin» Group (in 4/20 (5%)).
