Wire bonding is a connecting technique that uses a combination of temperature, force, ultrasonic power, and time to attach two metallic materials, a wire, and a bond pad. In electronics, gold-aluminium (Au-Al) contact wire bonds are widespread due to corrosion resistance and great conductivity of both metals. However, due to the large contact-potential difference, the intermetallic compound growth at the metal’s interaction boundary has considerably worsened the advantageous properties of Au-Al intermetallic system. This intermetallic exhibit low toughness, and possibly low corrosion resistance, which would result in poor bonding quality. In this work, the materials used are 4x8 aluminium substrates and a 100-meter-long gold wire spool. This study aims to investigate the most optimised set of parameters to be used in Au-Al wire bond system, due to how problematic this system could have towards bonding quality. The experimental array was created using a response surface methodology (RSM)-based design of experiments. The effect of parameters and their significance to bonding quality in the Au-Al bond system were studied using analysis of variance (ANOVA). A correlation model was created for the wire bond strength data. The findings suggest that, within the range of parameters examined, the proposed correlation model can be utilized to predict performance measures. The optimum value of Au-Al wire bond system parameters was established at the time of bond at the first bonding site selected for 300 milliseconds (ms), wire looping height selected for 1200 micrometre (μm), wire bond Y-axis length selected for 996 micrometre (μm), and ultrasonic force at second bonding site selected for 300 milli Newton (mN). The outcomes of this research add to our understanding of the Au-Al wire bonding contact, in addition, to enhancing the wire bond's quality.

Облепиховый сок: 10+ полезных свойств вкусного лекарства
Authors: Ткачева Наталья  , Елисеева Татьяна  
Published: December 2023

Ярко-желтые ягоды облепихи, как будто облепляющие со всех сторон колючие веточки кустарника, за что растение и получило свое название, имеют приятный кисло-сладкий вкус и своеобразный аромат, отдаленно напоминающие ананас. Именно это вкусовое сходство и подарило плодам еще одно оригинальное имя — Сибирский ананас. А еще это одно из самых богатых на витамины и микроэлементы растений с незапамятных времен и по сей день широко используется в китайской и тибетской медицинах. Ведь в нем целебно буквально все — от корней до семян. Например, кора является богатым источником серотонина, гормона счастья. Его, как утверждают ученые, здесь содержится в 1000 раз больше, чем в бананах или шоколаде! Но не менее ценными являются и плоды растения. Из них отжимают полезный и очень вкусный сок, а из жмыхов готовят целебное облепиховое масло.
Найти сок облепихи можно и на полках современных супермаркетов. Но чаще всего такой напиток содержит сахар и прочие консерванты, что уменьшает его ценность для здоровья. Поэтому для получения максимально полезного фреша его рекомендуется готовить самостоятельно из свежих ягод.

Published: December 2023

Small- and medium-sized family business competitiveness is built largely upon trusted relationships between owners, management, and employees. This paper questions whether the quality of such relationships were changed by the work from home policy (WFH) utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This research analyses how mandatory WFH impacted interpersonal relationships between employees and supervisors in small and medium-sized family businesses (SMFB) by applying leader-member exchange theory (LMX). Thirteen in-depth interviews were conducted with owners or the executive management of Swiss SMFB. The study concludes that WFH affects the quality of the relationship between leaders and their employees. WFH is beneficial for the family business and its special relationships as long as all parties can count on well-established, trusted relationships and motivated and open-minded leaders who are capable of keeping the level of interpersonal communication with their employees well balanced. Where employees are struggling with WFH tasks while perceiving a denaturation of the leader-employee relationship a “call back to office” should be considered and indicates that effort is needed to improve the interpersonal relationship. A decent level of mutual trust between the parties helps firms to go through or overcome the down sides and turbulences under WFH and supports maintaining and enhancing leader-follower relationships during challenging times.

Background Annual meetings held by the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) and the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) are important platforms for showcasing relevant sports medicine innovation and research. While meeting planning committees likely consider multiple factors when selecting content speakers, it may be assumed that these speakers are well-published or have an academic reputation on their topic of presentation. Hypothesis/Purpose To assess the peer-reviewed publication history and associated academic metrics of selected content speakers of prominent sports medicine society meetings and to identify content areas that lack speakers with previous peer-reviewed publications on their topic of presentation. Study Design Cross-Sectional Review Methods The 2016-2019 conference programs of AANA and AOSSM annual meetings were screened for selected content speakers. Each selected content speaker was searched in the Scopus database to identify prior peer-reviewed publications that were relevant to their presentation topic. Each selected content speaker, presentation, and content category was analyzed to determine the speakers’ Hirsch index (H-index), number of speakers’ previous topic-specific publications, manuscripts’ weighted citation count (WCC), and number of speakers using means and proportions. Comparisons were performed with two-sample T-tests for continuous variables and two-sample Z-tests for proportions for categorical variables, with p-values less than 0.05 indicating statistical significance. Results Of 432 total lectures, 371 (86%) were given by speakers who were previously published on their topic, leaving only 61 lectures (14%) by speakers without previous topic-specific publication (p=0.0005). Nonoperative sports medicine had the highest proportion (34%, 24/71) of lectures delivered by speakers without prior topic-specific publications. Speakers presenting on the hip had the highest H-index (41.67); speakers presenting on the elbow held the highest average number of prior topic-specific publications (12.17); and speakers presenting on biologics held the highest average WCC (8.56). There were no differences between conferences in regard to the proportion of speakers without previous topic-specific publications, the total average number of prior topic-specific publications per speaker, or the total average WCC. Conclusion The AANA and AOSSM annual meetings largely include selected content speakers with prior peer-reviewed literature. While publication history and associated academic metrics may be factors in speaker selection, each organization likely has its own individual selection criteria for delivering high-quality programs.
Zihinlerdeki Kafkasya: Kafkasya’nın Konumu ve Sınırları Üzerine Jeopolitik Analiz

Published: December 2023

Kimin Kafkasya’sı? Sorusuna verilebilecek cevaplar aslında çok karmaşıktır. 19. Yüzyılda 1828 Türkmençay antlaşması, Kaçar-Azerbaycan Türklerini (Günümüz İran’ı) Aras nehrinin güneyine mahkûm etmiş. 1856 Paris Antlaşması ile Osmanlı; Avrupa’ya yakınlaşırken Kafkasya’dan uzaklaşmıştır. Bu iki büyük siyasi gelişme Kuzey ve Güney Kafkasya’daki etnik grupların zihinlerinde bölünmüş, farklı Kafkasya haritalarının çizilmesi sürecini başlatmıştır. Genel hatları ile Karadeniz ve Hazar Deniz Havzaları arasında bulunan Kafkasya üzerine çok sayıda tanım yapılmıştır. Bugün Kuzey Kafkasya, Rusya Federasyonu toprakları içinde yer alırken, Gürcistan, Ermenistan ve Azerbaycan’ın bulunduğu bölge ise Güney Kafkasya içinde yer almaktadır. Bu sınırlar kısmen coğrafi, çoğunlukla siyasi nedenlere dayalı olarak çizilmiştir. Kuzey-güney Kafkasya ve doğu-batı Kafkasya tanımları coğrafi ve siyasi unsurlar esas alınarak yapılmıştır. Kavkaz, Zakavkaz, Transkafkas, Maverayı Kafkas tanımları ise tarihi süreçle doğmuştur. Ancak, yapılan Kafkasya tanımları birbiriyle örtüşmemektedir. Rusya Kafkasya’sı, Maverayı Kafkasya’dan farklıdır.
Kafkasya ile özel veya ilişkisel konumu bulunan bölgesel ve küresel devletlerin, halkların, jeopolitik dil bilimcilerinin, coğrafyacıların ve çeşitli yazarların Kafkasya tanımı değişkenlik göstermektedir. Bu algılar üzerinde Kafkasya’nın konumu, coğrafi nitelikleri, tarihi süreci, ticari faaliyetler, etno-dilsel çeşitliliği, iç ve dış aktörlerin jeopolitik hedefleri ve göç ekseni olması etkili olmuştur. Bugün Ortadoğu vb. bazı coğrafi bölge tanımlarında olduğu gibi Kafkasya üzerine ortak fikir birliği ile yapılmış bir tanım bulunmamaktadır. Coğrafya’nın konum bilgisi veren bilim olmasından yola çıkan çalışma, “Bütün Bir Kafkasya” bilincini körelten sınırlı Kafkasya tanımlarını karşılaştırmalı eleştirel analiz ederek, bölgeye dair jeopolitik zihin haritası ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, analitik hiyerarşi ve tarihsel analiz yöntemleri ile ele alınmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda Kafkasya tanımlarının kafa karıştırıcı olduğu ve bütün bir Kafkasya algısını zayıflattığı anlaşılmıştır.

Background: Depression has been recognized as one of the significant public health problems of the 21st century. Previous studies have revealed higher prevalence of psychological morbidity among medical students in comparison to their age – matched non – medical counterparts.
Objective: This study evaluated the prevalence and predictors of depression among medical students of Imo State University, Owerri, South Eastern Nigeria.
Methods: An institution based cross – sectional survey was conducted among 180 medical students selected using a systematic sampling technique. Data collection was with the aid of a pretested semi – structured self – administered questionnaire. Prevalence of depression was assessed using a modified Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS – 21). Data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 22. Descriptive statistics was presented using summary indices, frequency tables and percentages. Associations between variables were done using the Chi –square and logistic regression. A p – value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The mean age of the respondents was 26.9 ± 4.1 years. Only 10.6% of the students were very well informed about depression with social media (45.9%) as the main source of information. The prevalence of depression in this study was 41.2%. Sociodemographic variables significantly associated with depression were body mass index (p < 0.0001) and psychoactive substance use (p < 0.0001). Being overweight (OR = 8.41) or obese (OR = 4.25) were significant predictors of depression. Likewise, respondents who often (OR = 8.50) or always (OR = 7.40) use psychoactive substances were significantly more likely to be depressed in comparison to those who do not.
Conclusion: Depression is a burning public health problem among medical students. There is need for institutional reforms to help address depression among medical students. Also, majority of students getting information about depression from social media is indicative of the fact that they are not getting adequate exposure to Psychiatry. In view of this, review of the medical curriculum should be considered.

ImportanceIt remains unclear whether pet ownership is associated with cognitive decline and to what extent pet ownership mitigates the association between living alone and cognitive decline.ObjectiveTo explore the association of pet ownership with cognitive decline, the interaction between pet ownership and living alone, and the extent to which pet ownership mitigates the association between living alone and cognitive decline in older adults.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study used data from waves 5 (June 2010 to July 2011) to 9 (from June 2018 to July 2019) in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Participants included adults 50 years and older. Data were analyzed from April 1 to June 30, 2023.ExposuresPet ownership and living alone in wave 5.Main Outcomes and MeasuresIn waves 5 to 9, verbal memory and verbal fluency were assessed, and composite verbal cognition was further calculated.ResultsOf the 7945 participants included, the mean (SD) age was 66.3 (8.8) years, and 4446 (56.0%) were women. Pet ownership was associated with slower rates of decline in composite verbal cognition (β = 0.008 [95% CI, 0.002-0.014] SD/y), verbal memory (β = 0.006 [95% CI, 0.001-0.012] SD/y), and verbal fluency (β = 0.007 [95% CI, 0.001-0.013] SD/y). Three-way interaction tests showed that living alone was a significant modifier in all 3 associations. Stratified analyses showed that pet ownership was associated with slower rates of decline in composite verbal cognition (β = 0.023 [95% CI, 0.011-0.035] SD/y), verbal memory (β = 0.021 [95% CI, 0.008-0.034] SD/y), and verbal fluency (β = 0.018 [95% CI, 0.005-0.030] SD/y) among individuals living alone, but not among those living with others. Joint association analyses showed no significant difference in rates of decline in composite verbal cognition, verbal memory, or verbal fluency between pet owners living alone and pet owners living with others.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study, pet ownership was associated with slower rates of decline in verbal memory and verbal fluency among older adults living alone, but not among those living with others, and pet ownership offset the associations between living alone and declining rates in verbal memory and verbal fluency. Further studies are needed to assess whether pet ownership slows the rate of cognitive decline in older adults living alone.
Platinum
Authors: Lansdown Alan B. G. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractPlatinum is ubiquitous in the human environment and is present in plants and animals, human food chains, airborne particles in inner‐city areas, and factory environments. It is a rare transitional metal with many uses in medicine, dentistry, and industrial applications. These include catalytic converters, electrical engineering, computers, space science, chemical syntheses, and jewelry. Platinum forms numerous durable alloys for clinical and industrial applications, and very many inorganic and organic compounds some of which are profound oxidizing agents and corrosive to skin and eyes. Others like the co‐ordination complexes, which are antimitotic through DNA binding, are potent anticancer drugs.The toxicity profile for platinum compounds is incomplete but permitted exposure levels (PEL) are shown for key materials. Respiratory distress, allergy, and hypersensitivity are principal hazards encountered through inhalation of airborne nanoparticles in mining, recycling, and emissions from vehicle exhaust systems. Metabolic pathways and excretion patterns involving liver and kidneys are discussed in relation to population studies. Urine analyses are clinical measures of platinum exposure. The anticancer/antimitotic drugs includingcis‐platin and carboplatin are clinically efficacious but cause nephrotoxicity, ear and sensi‐neural hearing, and possible carcinogenicity. Children are more sensitive.Experiments in animal models and cultured cells have contributed little in the understanding of hazards associated with platinum and related compounds. Whilst evidence of mutagenicity, DNA binding, clastogenicity is presented in standard laboratory screens, the 15th National Toxicology Program, Report on Carcinogens (2021) states thatcis‐platin should be reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen, despite no conclusive human epidemiological studies being available.
A four‐dimensional dynamic conformal arc approach for real‐time tumor tracking: A retrospective treatment planning study
Authors: Yau Timothy , Kempe Jeff , Gaede Stewart 
Published: December 2023

AbstractPurposeFor many thoracic tumors, patient respiration can introduce a significant amount of variability in tumor position that must be accounted for during radiotherapy. Of all existing techniques, real‐time dynamic tumor tracking (DTT) represents the most ideal motion management strategy but can be limited by the treatment delivery technique. Our objective was to analyze the dosimetric performance of a dynamic conformal arc (DCA) approach to tumor tracking on standard linear accelerators that may offer similar dosimetric benefit, but with less complexity compared to intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT).MethodsTen patients who previously received free‐breathing VMAT for lung cancer were retrospectively analyzed. Patient 4D‐CT and respiratory traces were simultaneously acquired prior to treatment and re‐planned with DCA and VMAT using the Eclipse v15.6 Treatment Planning System with gated, deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH), and motion encompassment techniques taken into consideration, generating seven new plans per patient. DTT with DCA was simulated using an in‐house MATLAB script to parse the radiation dose into each phase of the 4D‐CT based on the patient's respiratory trace. Dose distributions were normalized to the same prescription and analyzed using dose volume histograms (DVHs). DVH metrics were assessed using ANOVA with subsequent paired t‐tests.ResultsThe DCA‐based DTT plans outperformed or showed comparable performance in their DVH metrics compared to all other combinations of treatment techniques while using motion management in normal lung sparing (p < 0.05). Normal lung sparing was not significantly different when comparing DCA‐based DTT to gated and DIBH VMAT (p > 0.05), while both outperformed the corresponding DCA plans (p < 0.05). Simulated treatment times using DCA‐based DTT were significantly shorter than both gating and DIBH plans (p < 0.05).ConclusionsA DCA‐based DTT technique showed significant advantages over conventional motion encompassment treatments in lung cancer radiotherapy, with comparable performance to stricter techniques like gating and DIBH while conferring greater time‐saving benefits.

Published: December 2023

AbstractSpace three dimension (3D） bioprinting provides a precise and bionic tumor model for evaluating the compound effect of the space environment on tumors, thereby providing insight into the progress of the disease and potential treatments. However, space 3D bioprinting faces several challenges, including prelaunch uncertainty, possible liquid leakage, long‐term culture in space, automatic equipment control, data acquisition, and transmission. Here, a novel satellite‐based 3D bioprinting device with high structural strength, small volume, and low weight (<6 kg) is developed. A microgel‐based biphasic thermosensitive bioink and suspension medium that supports the on‐orbit printing and in situ culture of complex tumor models is developed. An intelligent control algorithm that enables the automatic control of 3D printing, autofocusing, fluorescence imaging, and data transfer back to the ground is developed. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first time that on‐orbit printing of tumor models is achieved in space with stable morphology and moderate viability via a satellite. It is found that 3D tumor models are more sensitive to antitumor drugs in space than on Earth. This study opens up a new avenue for 3D bioprinting in space and offers new possibilities for future research in space life science and medicine.
