Understanding the Interplay between Organisational Injustice and the Health and Wellbeing of Female Police Officers: A Meta-Ethnography
Authors: Illias Mahnoz , Riach Kathleen , Demou Evangelia 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Background: Female police officers are reported to encounter more bias, discriminatory practices, and inadequate support than their male counterparts and experience poorer health outcomes. This meta-ethnographic review looks beyond individual responsibilities to consider what aspects of policing and how they impact the health and well-being of female police officers.Methods: Primary qualitative and mixed method studies published between 2000 and 2022 were included. A total of ten databases were searched using terms related to health, wellbeing, females, police, and qualitative research. In total, twenty-one papers met the inclusion criteria. A seven-phase inductive and interpretative meta-ethnographic technique was employed to synthesise, analyse, and interpret the data.Results: The data analysis revealed a distinct outcome that demonstrated a strong relationship and substantial impacts of organisational injustice on the health and well-being of female police officers. Our findings showed that organisational injustice, encompassing procedural, relational, distributive, and gendered injustice, significantly influences the health and well-being of female officers. Impacts on mental health were commonly referred, followed by aspects influencing social health, workplace wellbeing, and physical health. Moreover, the effects of these four forms of organisational injustice and the associated cultural, systemic, and structural risk factors extend beyond the immediate health and wellbeing impacts on the individual female officer through impeding other aspects of their work life, such as career progression and work-life balance, that can further impact long-term health and well-being.Conclusion: This review highlights the importance of addressing organisational injustice and the cultural, systemic, and structural risk factors within policing to promote healthier and more inclusive workforces for female officers. Policymakers and practitioners should critically examine policies and practices that may appear gender neutral but disproportionately impact women, affecting the health and well-being of female police officers. By addressing these issues, transformative action can be taken to create safer, more supportive, and healthier working environments for female police officers.

Abstract

Designing a path planner that provides humans with a comfortable experience is a crucial step in enabling robots to seamlessly integrate into human environments. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive framework that equips robots with the ability to navigate in human environments by taking into account social norms and predicting human trajectories. Firstly, we propose a generalized social space modeling method based on Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). This model is used to constrain the robot's adherence to social norms and incorporates factors such as human posture, velocity, and group distribution. Secondly, to achieve collision-free navigation, we introduce a trajectory prediction method using a four-parameter logistic curve. This method considers human historical trajectory information, velocity constraints, and incorporates confidence weights. Finally, we use piecewise high-order polynomials to optimize robot's local trajectory spatiotemporally. The collision avoidance constraints between the robot and humans are carefully designed to maximize human comfort and robot sociability. To validate the effectiveness of our approach, we compare it with existing methods, and the results demonstrate a significant improvement in human comfort.

Authors: yaghoubi Neda , kafieh Rahele 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Background:
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic immune-mediated disease affecting the central nervous system, leading to various disturbances, including visual impairment. Early and accurate diagnosis of MS is critical for effective treatment and management. Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy (SLO) is a non-invasive technique that provides high-quality retinal images, serving as a promising resource for the early detection of MS. This research investigates a vessel-based approach for MS detection in SLO images using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks.
Material and Methods:
A total of 106 Healthy Controls (HCs) and 39 MS patients (78 eyes) were enrolled. After implementing quality control measures and removing poor-quality or damaged images, the research utilized a total of 265 photos (73 MS and 192 HC). An approach for the early detection of MS in SLO images using LSTM networks is introduced. This approach involves two steps: 1. Pre-training a deep neural network on the source dataset, and 2. Tuning the network on the target dataset of SLO images.
Results:
The significance of vessel segmentation in MS detection is examined, and the application of the proposed method in improving diagnostic models is explored. The proposed approach achieves an accuracy rate of 97.44% when evaluated on a test dataset consisting of SLO pictures.
Conclusions:
Through experiments on SLO datasets and employing the proposed vessel-based approach with LSTM, empirical results demonstrate that this approach contributes to the early detection of MS with high accuracy. These models exhibit the capability to accurately detect the disease with high precision and appropriate sensitivity.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was mainly caused by childbirth which injured the urethra and surrounding tissues’ structural integrity. Promoting periurethral structure repair and preventing its further damage had the potential to treat SUI. Ginsenoside Rb1(GS-Rb1) was one of the important monomer extracts of traditional Chinese medicine ginseng and notoginseng, which had anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, and promotion of tissue repair effects. In this study, we demonstrated the effects and the mechanism of GS-Rb1 on SUI induced by mechanical trauma by establishing of SUI rat model by vaginal distension(VD) method. We found that GS-Rb1 alleviated the symptoms associated with SUI and significantly decreased the number of fragmented and disorganized elastic and muscle fibers in the urethra and anterior vaginal wall of SUI rats, and increased collagen content, reduced the disruption of the structural integrity in the periurethral myofiber. Furthermore, GS-Rb1 promoted the expressions of TGF-β1, Smad2, Smad3, Smad7, p-Smad3, p-Smad2, collagens I and III, also increased the protein levels of Nrf2, GPX1, and MnSOD. Thus, our study identified that GS-Rb1 effectively reduced mechanical trauma to the urethral fibromuscular system in an SUI rat model. This study identifies GS-Rb1 as a TGF-β1/Smad3 and NRF2/ARE signaling pathway agonist and provides a potentially practical pharmacological approach for treating postpartum mechanical trauma SUI.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
The present research work investigates the effect of recasting on the properties of hybrid aluminum matrix composite (Al7075/SiC/TiB2). The hybrid aluminum matrix composite was fabricated through the stir casting method with different reinforcement content. For recasting both the original composites were melted together in the induction furnace. After recasting, we observe a reduction in properties compared to the original hybrid aluminum matrix composite. Microstructural analysis showed an increase in agglomeration formation of reinforcement for the remelted composite. The minimum hardness value was observed for the remelted composite of 134.6 HV and the maximum wear rate was also observed for the remelted composite of 122.52 to 273.91 micrometers. Negative effects of recasting on the properties of the hybrid aluminum matrix composite were observed.

Published: October 2023

The Coronavirus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused massive changes in not only the medical field but every aspect of the world. As the whole world moved from in-person to remote, students found themselves in a predicament where they were forced to take school online, from home. This would mean that all projects, research, tests, and meetings were conducted over Zoom or other online meeting platforms. Labs were shut down or only a limited number of people were allowed to enter to conduct the necessary research. In this paper, the field of physiological research throughout the world will be discussed, and how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the research process of all anatomical fields and experiments themselves. An extensive literature review of many published reports has been conducted for the study. The purpose of this is to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on the vast area of physiological studies and research. Experiments that were being conducted were halted, which could change the entirety of the results. A major issue found is that volunteers were at a minimum, specifically in the ages greater than 65 years, were scarce as they refused to volunteer due to COVID-19 risk or various other reasons. As the volunteers began to drop, experiments conducted by students were forced to change to an online-only format. Medical students were forced to conduct physiological research from home as they spoke with volunteers over the phone. This not only changes the results coming in but also the learning progression for the students. This comprehensive literature review analysis summarizes how, among multifarious short- and/or long-term consequences of the pandemic in practically every sphere, the area of physiological research was drastically impacted.

Authors: Rybka Mariola , Pytel Wioletta 
Published: October 2023

Wstęp. Uporczywa terapia, czyli długotrwałe i intensywne leczenie, nieprzynoszące poprawy stanu pacjenta, stanowi wyzwanie nie tylko dla pacjentów, ale również dla personelu medycznego, w szczególności dla pielęgniarek. Wykonywanie codziennych obowiązków w warunkach dużej presji czasowej, ciągłego stresu oraz konieczności podejmowania trudnych decyzji związanych z udziałem w procesie terapeutycznym pacjentów, może prowadzić do pojawienia się dylematów etycznych. W pracy pielęgniarskiej etyka odgrywa kluczową rolę, gdyż stanowi ona fundament norm postępowania i decyzji podejmowanych przez pracowników służby zdrowia.
Cel. Celem badań było poznanie opinii pielęgniarek na temat terapii daremnej
Materiały i metody. Badaniem objęto grupę 100 pielęgniarek/rzy aktywnych zawodowo pracujących w oddziale Intensywnej Terapii i Opieki Paliatywnej w Szpitalu w Inowrocławiu.

Wnioski. Współczesne osiągnięcia nauk medycznych i technicznych pozwalają na długotrwałe, sztuczne podtrzymywanie życia tylko nie zawsze jest to zgodne z zasadami etyki. Pielęgniarki podczas pracy zawodowej wielokrotnie napotykają sytuacje przekroczenia granicy przynoszącej pozytywny efekt terapeutyczny i rozpoczęcia uporczywej terapii.
Modeling of a low-temperature gas treatment system
Authors: Kuznetsov M. P. 
Published: October 2023

Objective. The main purpose of the work is: investigation of the effect of changes in technological parameters on the efficiency of the separation process and determination of optimal technological modes of operation of gas field X CNTS in the separation process.Method. The problem was solved in the KBC Petro-SIM computer program and the LTS model was built. To conduct the study, a model of the LTS was built in the KBC Petro-SIM computer program.Result. The results obtained with the help of it showed: with the current composition of the gas with a decrease in temperature for every 2oC, with other technological indicators being equal, the specific condensate yield increases in the range from 15 to 30%, and the lower the temperature, the higher this percentage. When the pressure on the throttle decreases by every 0.4 MPa, the condensate output increases, if the pressure drops below 1.8 MPa, the specific condensate output will begin to decrease, which is explained by the pressure drop below the maximum condensation line of the phase diagram. The change in gas flow within the design values did not affect the operation of low-temperature separation. At any available low temperature and high pressure at the inlet to the ILTS, the most optimal mode will be when the pressure after the throttle is maintained within 1.8 - 1.9 MPa. The maximum specific yield of gas condensate (48.21%) was obtained at a pressure at the inlet to the ILTS of 5.1 MPa, a temperature after the heat exchanger of minus 2oC and a pressure drop at the throttle of 3.05 MPa. As part of the numerical research, the following results were obtained: with an increase in the pressure at the inlet to the ILTC, the change in the specific output of the gas condensate is insignificant, but with this parameter it is possible to create a larger pressure drop on the throttle; with a decrease in the gas temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger, the specific yield of the gas condensate will increase; with an increase in the pressure drop at the throttle, the specific output of the gas condensate increases until the pressure after the throttle reaches the range of values of 1.8 – 1.9 MPa. In this interval, the maximum specific condensate yield is achieved. With a further increase in the pressure drop on the throttle, the specific output of the gas condensate decreases. This is explained by the phenomenon of retrograde condensation, since the maximum condensation line is in the range of these pressures.Conclusion. Based on the results of the work, it was found that the developed software module can be used to solve the emerging series of problems. The results of the work show the suitability of the proposed method for practical purposes.

Published: October 2023

Background: Smoking is a serious issue for global public health, and the prevalence of smoking use is the leading cause of early mortality globally. Serum ferritin, an intracellular protein that stores and releases iron, is considered one of the most important clinical biomarkers to assess iron status.
Aim: The current study aims to examines the effect of smoking on serum ferritin levels of adult populations in Sulaymaniyah.
Methods: The study was conducted on 80 smokers and 20 non-smokers, totally 100 persons. Their ages ranged from 18 to 65 years.
Results: Result showed that the majority of smokers had elevated ferritin levels. A p-value of less than 0.05 indicated a significant difference in ferritin levels between smokers and non-smokers groups. The average ferritin level among smoker group was 227.40 mg/L, while the average ferritin level among non-smokers group was 118.3 mg/L. Regarding the associated between age groups and average ferritin levels, the average ferritin level is highest in the age groups between 51-61 years old. In addition, obesity may play a role in raising ferritin levels, people with obese conditions (BMI > 30) have the highest average ferritin levels than others.
Conclusion: This study provides evidence that smoking negatively affect serum ferritin levels, since increases in mean ferritin levels are very striking in smoking and obese group.
