In Situ Cutting Methodology with 3D Measurement of Block Excesses in Shipbuilding
Authors: Aydin Berk , Turan Eda 
Published: January 2024

_
The ship construction process is characterized by a sequential workflow, with pivotal workstations‡ playing a crucial role. Initially, steel plates are introduced to these stations in sheet form, undergoing a transformation process that culminates in the creation of segments known as blocks. These blocks are individually constructed and subsequently assembled at the final workstation, denoted as the block joining station. Upon completing block fabrication, a deliberate tolerance allowance is retained on the plates to accommodate deformations induced by heat treatment during the transformation from plates to blocks. The alignment process involves aligning the reference points (master reference line) of the blocks on a common axis, facilitating the identification of excess material and deformations. This alignment process encompasses aligning the blocks with each other, employing either a three-dimensional measurement device or manual methods to obtain necessary measurements for determining excess material. In an effort to optimize time spent on block alignment and machine usage, a comprehensive methodology has been developed. This methodology involves determining excess material cuts on the blocks, performing virtual alignment operations using laser scanning techniques in a virtual environment, and conducting the cutting process on the slipway prior to placing the block excesses on it.

Published: January 2024

Introducción: La falta de adherencia al tratamiento farmacológico es uno de los principales problemas en pacientes con enfermedades crónicas. Una falta de adherencia se relaciona con un aumento de la discapacidad y de los costes sanitarios. El objetivo principal de este artículo es conocer el grado de adherencia al tratamiento en pacientes con la enfermedad de Parkinson.
Método: se ha realizado un estudio observacional, longitudinal y prospectivo en colaboración con la Federación de Asociaciones de Parkinson de la Región de Murcia (FEPAMUR) y farmacias colaboradoras de la Región de Murcia. Se llevó a cabo un procedimiento de recogida de datos demográficos del paciente (sexo y edad) con el fin de caracterizarlos, y se evaluó la adherencia al tratamiento mediante el Test de Morisky-Green y el test de Hermes.
Resultados: Al estudiar la adherencia con el Test de Morisky-Green se aprecia que el 64% obtuvo una adherencia baja al tratamiento, el 19% presentó una adherencia media, mientras que sólo el 17% de los pacientes fue muy adherente. Según el test de Hermes se observa que un 42% de los pacientes son adherentes al tratamiento.
Conclusiones: Existe una baja adherencia al tratamiento farmacológico, según el test de Hermes y el test de Morisky-Green. En función del sexo se concluye que las mujeres son más adherentes que los hombres y si nos enfocamos en la edad, se erigen como más adherentes aquellos pacientes con una edad menor a 60 años.
Use of a Novel, Extended-Release, Dual-Acting, Local Anesthetic in Total Knee Arthroplasty and Total Hip Arthroplasty: Application Technique and Experiences with ZYNRELEF
Authors: Langworthy Michael 
Published: January 2024

Background Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) provide many benefits to patients including improved functioning and quality of life. However, postoperative pain can be significant, and is a factor in extending hospitalizations, readmissions, and poor outcomes. HTX-011 (ZYNRELEF™) is an extended-release, dual-acting, local anesthetic consisting of bupivacaine and low-dose meloxicam within a tri(ethylene glycol) poly(orthoester) (TEG-POE) based technology Biochronomer™ polymer for drug delivery. Due to its semi-viscous solution, ZYNRELEF is applied directly onto the pain-generating tissue within the surgical site and stays in the location where it is applied. As a result of dissatisfaction with standard of care injections of ropivacaine, epinephrine, clonidine, ketorolac (RECK), as well as a need to perform more TKAs and THAs in an outpatient setting because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the author began using ZYNRELEF to explore its use in a real-world setting based on positive clinical trial data. Methods A retrospective review was conducted of TKA and THA procedures performed at a single hospital in the United States between February and July of 2022. A standard multimodal pain protocol was used in addition to ZYNRELEF during the surgical procedure. Several patient outcomes were assessed including pain, infection rates, readmission, and acute renal injury. Results Of the 100 TKAs and 57 THAs performed, most patients (81%) experienced mild pain postoperatively. There were no cases of infection or acute renal injury. Few (3%) patients were readmitted (for any reason). Conclusion When used as part of a multimodal pain protocol, ZYNRELEF is safe and effective in a real-world, outpatient setting.

The objective of the research is to evaluate inclusive education in the higher education system in Ecuador from the perception of the students, for which a descriptive, non-experimental methodology with a quantitative approach was applied. The instrument used corresponds to a survey whose internal consistency was 0.917 with Cronbach's Alpha, which was applied to 384 students of the 2022 academic period at the national level. The results allowed us to know that there is a perception about inclusion in higher education that it is not managed effectively, with vulnerable aspects being the knowledge and preparation of the teacher, the awareness of the administrative staff and the student body, in addition to structural aspects so that the entity more accessible, curricular aspects are also referred to since inclusion is not addressed in all careers and there is no academic material, especially to solve the training needs of students with hearing and/or visual disabilities.
La investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la educación inclusiva en el sistema de educación superior en el Ecuador desde la percepción de los educandos, para lo cual se empleó una metodología cuantitativa de corte descriptivo y correlacional. El instrumento empleado fue un cuestionario diseñado ad-hoc que obtuvo un alfa de Cronbach de 0.917. La muestra productora de datos fue de 384 estudiantes universitarios, y los resultados evidencian la existencia de una percepción sobre la inclusión en la educación superior de que no es gestionada de una manera efectiva, siendo los aspectos más vulnerables el conocimiento y la preparación del docente, la sensibilización por parte del personal administrativo y del estudiantado, además de aspectos estructurales para que la entidad sea más accesible, así mismo se refieren aspectos curriculares pues no se aborda la inclusión en todas las carreras y no se cuenta con material académico sobre todo para solventar las necesidades formativas de estudiantes con discapacidad auditiva o visual.

Published: January 2024

Social inequalities and its impact on students' academic achievement highlight the need to determine which educational factors need to be tackled to achieve a progressively more equitable society with greater Social Justice. Based on the results of PISA 2018 in Spain, two indicators of equity were obtained: as equality of results and as equality of opportunities. Contextual factors, teacher training and teaching strategies were identified as predictor variables. These indicators were related to the predictor variables to predict protective and risk factors for educational equity. The results indicate that, in addition to the key influence of contextual characteristics, teacher factors such as their training in professional guidance and counselling, or their support during the teaching-learning process, predict lower educational inequity as equality of outcomes. Similarly, teaching experience, teacher training in classroom management, or a greater presence of discriminatory teaching attitudes perceived by the student are factors that predict less educational inequity as equality of opportunities. Therefore, teacher training and the strategies implemented in the classroom by teachers are factors that can modulate educational equity.
Las desigualdades sociales y su impacto en el rendimiento académico del alumnado señalan la necesidad de conocer qué factores educativos necesitan abordarse para lograr una sociedad progresivamente más equitativa y con mayor Justicia Social. Partiendo de los resultados de PISA 2018 en España, se obtuvieron dos indicadores de equidad: como igualdad de resultados, y como igualdad de oportunidades. Como variables predictoras se identificaron factores de contexto, de formación docente y de estrategias docentes. Se pusieron en relación estos indicadores con las variables predictoras para predecir factores de protección y de riesgo de la equidad educativa. Los resultados indican que, además de la influencia clave de características contextuales, factores docentes como su formación sobre orientación y asesoramiento profesional, o el apoyo en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, predicen una menor inequidad educativa como igualdad de resultados. De igual forma, la experiencia docente, la formación sobre gestión de aula, o una mayor presencia de actitudes docentes discriminatorias percibidas por el alumnado, son factores que predicen una menor inequidad educativa como igualdad de oportunidades. Por tanto, la formación docente y las estrategias implementadas en el aula por el profesorado son factores que pueden modular la equidad educativa.

Introduction: Various studies have detected a link between lung abnormalities andDiabetes Mellitus (DM) but this relationship isn't that well established.Objectives: To document the correlation between pulmonary function tests (PFTs)and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and the duration of DM.Methodology: This single-center study recruited 100 individuals with DiabetesMellitus, who presented to the medicine Outpatient department (OPD) or admittedin Medical Unit-1/C1 of “Dr. Ruth KM Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi” from 1st November 2019 till 10th October 2020. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 23.0.Results: Of the 100 participants, the majority of them were men (n=57), had DM forthe past ≤8 years (n=54), and had moderately controlled DM with an HbA1c in therange 6.5-7.9 (n=37). The spirometry results of over half of the patients (n=57) werenormal however, approximately in one third of them (n=35) restrictive lung patternwas detected. Significant inverse correlations were found between HbA1c and FEV1(r= -0.281, p-value=0.005), HbA1c and FEV1/FVC (r= -0.386, p-value=0.000), duration of DM and FEV1 (r= -0.259, p-value=0.009) and duration of DM and FEV1/FVC(r= -0.381, p-value=0.000).Conclusion: A significant relationship was found between lung function tests (FEV1and FEV1/FVC ratio) and poor glycemic control and increased duration of DM;therefore, periodic assessment of PFTs and HbA1c is crucial in early screening andmanagement of lung abnormalities in type2 diabetics.

The effectiveness and applications of drones for monitoring jellyfish
Authors: Rowe Claire E , Ahyong Shane T 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
Jellyfish populations experience fluctuations referred to as ‘bloom and busts’, with numbers rapidly increasing followed by their sudden disappearance. When jellyfish numbers are blooming, they have a complicated relationship with their surrounding environment (predators, competitors, but also a food source), and with humans (sting swimmers, but also source of income and food). As a result, it is important to have a precise and efficient tool for monitoring jellyfish populations. In this extended abstract, we will review studies that have used drones to monitor and track different species of jellyfish, identify the advantages and limitations across these studies, and suggest methods to be adopted when using drones to monitor jellyfish.
