IntroductionProlonged exposure of train drivers to thermal discomfort can lead to occupational safety and health (OSH) risks, causing physical and mental injuries. Traditional method of treating human skin as a wall surface fail to observe accurate skin temperature changes or obtain human thermal comfort that adapts to the thermal environment.MethodsThis study employs the Stolwijk human thermal regulation model to investigate and optimize the thermal comfort of train drivers. To minimize the time-consuming design optimization, a pointer optimization algorithm based on radial basis function (RBF) approximation was utilized to optimize the train cab ventilation system design and enhance drivers’ thermal comfort. The train driver thermal comfort model was developed using Star-CCM+ and 60 operating conditions were sampled using an Optimal Latin Hypercube Design (Opt LHD).Results and DiscussionWe analyzed the effects of air supply temperature, air supply volume, air supply angle, solar radiation intensity and solar altitude angle on the local thermal sensation vote (LTSV) and overall thermal sensation vote (OTSV) of the train driver. Finally, the study obtained the optimal air supply parameters for the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) in the train cabin under extreme summer conditions, effectively improving the thermal comfort of the driver.

The COVID-19 pandemic has varying effects on men, women, and the transgender population. However, there is a paucity of systematic evidence on how gender and other social determinants of health during COVID-19 are affected in resource constraint urban settings. This review describes the gender dimensions of health-related challenges among the urban poor during COVID-19 in LMICs. We searched 11 scholarly online repositories including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL using the domain “slums,” “COVID-19”, “LMICs” and “gender identities.” We used thematic framework analysis to synthesize qualitative data, and meta-analysis to determine the pooled prevalence. We registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020203783). We identified 6490 records, and 37 articles included. The studies reported stress among 74% women and 78% men, depression among 59% women and 62% men, and anxiety among 79% women and 63% men. Men had more stress than women during COVID-19; men are primarily responsible for household sustenance. Women had more anxiety than men, possibly because they are often the primary caregivers for children and the older population. While the severity varies according to gender identity, their vulnerability mostly related to their literacy and economy, highlighting the significance of including all social determinants in future primary studies.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/#recordDetails.
“I didn’t see a sheep”: perspectives of lecturers and students at veterinary schools in Great Britain on learning about lameness in sheep
Authors: Clifton Rachel , Bamford Kate , Green Laura 
Published: June 2023

IntroductionGreat Britain has over 15 million ewes. Lameness is one of the top three most economically important diseases for the sheep industry, costing about £80 million per annum. The prevalence of lameness reduced from 10% to 5% between 2004 and 2013 but further reduction is unlikely because many farmers and agricultural students still believe in, and use, ineffective practices to control lameness. Unfortunately, many veterinary practitioners consider themselves insufficiently knowledgeable to work confidently with sheep farmers, and many sheep farmers agree with them. Another route to improve control of lameness is to ensure that all new veterinary graduates are competent to advise farmers.MethodsOur study investigated how veterinary students are taught about management of lameness in sheep. Ten lecturers from eight veterinary schools were interviewed, and 33 students from four veterinary schools participated in four focus groups; all were recorded, transcribed, and analysed using directed qualitative content analysis.ResultsTeaching time and opportunities for students to gain clinical experience of lameness were very limited. Students were not confident they could diagnose causes of lameness and listed many practices, including ineffective ones, to manage footrot.DiscussionWe conclude that GB veterinary students are graduating without evidence-based understanding and clinical experience necessary to advise farmers on management of lameness in sheep. Given the importance of lameness in sheep in GB we conclude that an alternative approach to education on lameness in sheep could help to ensure that new graduate veterinarians can contribute to control of lameness in sheep.
Image-Based Crack Detection Using Total Variation Strain DVC Regularization
Authors: Manigrasso Zaira , Goethals Wannes , Kibleur Pierre , Boone Matthieu N. , Philips Wilfried , Aelterman Jan 
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Accurately detecting cracks is crucial for assessing the health of materials. Manual detection methods are time-consuming, leading to the development of automatic detection techniques based on image processing and machine learning. These methods utilize morphological image processing and material deformation analysis through Digital Image or Volume Correlation techniques (DIC/DVC) to identify cracks. The strain field derived from DIC/DVC tends to be noisy. Traditional denoising methods sacrifice spatial resolution, limiting their effectiveness in capturing abrupt structural deformations such as fractures. Method: In this study, a novel DVC regularization method is proposed to obtain a sharper and less noisy strain field. The method minimizes the total variation of spatial strain field components based on the assumption of approximate strain constancy within material phases. Results: The proposed methodology is validated using simulated data and actual 4D μ-CT experimental data. Compared to classical denoising methods, the proposed DVC regularization method provides a more reliable crack detection with fewer false positives. Conclusions: These results highlight the possibility of estimating a low-noise strain field without relying on the spatial smoothness assumption, thereby improving accuracy and reliability in crack detection.

Published: June 2023

Based on the conceptualisation of the 21st Century Competencies Framework from the Center for Curriculum Redesign (CCR) we developed an online program to enable school-age students to increase their level on several social-emotional competencies. BE organized is a program that aims to help students to better organize themselves to be more efficient in today’s and tomorrow’s world. To do so, 12 individual sessions were designed to develop 4 out of the twelve 21st century competencies: Critical Thinking, Mindfulness, Resilience and Metacognition; collective sessions (action lab) to develop others such as Creativity. We used a mixed methodology, i.e., quantitative (two questionnaires) and qualitative (reflective questions) evaluation to test whether the targeted competencies have been developed during this program. Preliminary results (since it involves only a small number of participants, n = 27) partially confirm our hypotheses. Both qualitative and quantitative data show a development of critical thinking; the cross-sectional results are more mixed for the other three targeted competencies. Moreover, some other competencies, such as Creativity and Growth Mindset, seem to be developed during this program. However, it is difficult to determine whether it is the group and/or individual sessions that are responsible for these non-targeted competencies development. These results will be discussed in relation to the youth literature on 21st century competency and the broader literature on socio-emotional learning (SEL) and/or emotional intelligence (EI).

Opisthorchiosis is a parasitic liver disease found in mammals that is widespread throughout the world and causes systemic inflammation. Praziquantel remains the drug of choice for the treatment of opisthorchiosis, despite its many adverse effects. An anthelmintic effect is attributed to the main curcuminoid of Curcuma longa L. roots—curcumin (Cur)—along with many other therapeutic properties. To overcome the poor solubility of curcumin in water, a micellar complex of curcumin with the disodium salt of glycyrrhizic acid (Cur:Na2GA, molar ratio 1:1) was prepared via solid-phase mechanical processing. In vitro experiments revealed a noticeable immobilizing effect of curcumin and of Cur:Na2GA on mature and juvenile Opisthorchis felineus individuals. In vivo experiments showed that curcumin (50 mg/kg) had an anthelmintic effect after 30 days of administration to O. felineus-infected hamsters, but the effect was weaker than that of a single administration of praziquantel (400 mg/kg). Cur:Na2GA (50 mg/kg, 30 days), which contains less free curcumin, did not exert this action. The complex, just as free curcumin or better, activated the expression of bile acid synthesis genes (Cyp7A1, Fxr, and Rxra), which was suppressed by O. felineus infection and by praziquantel. Curcumin reduced the rate of inflammatory infiltration, whereas Cur:Na2GA reduced periductal fibrosis. Immunohistochemically, a decrease in liver inflammation markers was found, which is determined by calculating the numbers of tumor-necrosis-factor-positive cells during the curcumin treatment and of kynurenine-3-monooxygenase-positive cells during the Cur:Na2GA treatment. A biochemical blood test revealed a normalizing effect of Cur:Na2GA (comparable to that of curcumin) on lipid metabolism. We believe that the further development and investigation of therapeutics based on curcuminoids in relation Opisthorchis felineus and other trematode infections will be useful for clinical practice and veterinary medicine.

Key Points

As a biomarker, urinary metabolites could bridge the gap between genetic abnormalities and phenotypes of diseases.We found that levels of betaine, choline, fumarate, citrate, and glucose were significantly correlated with kidney function and could predict kidney outcomes, providing prognostic biomarkers in CKD.

Background
Because CKD is caused by genetic and environmental factors, biomarker development through metabolomic analysis, which reflects gene-derived downstream effects and host adaptation to the environment, is warranted.

Methods
We measured the metabolites in urine samples collected from 789 patients at the time of kidney biopsy and from urine samples from 147 healthy participants using nuclear magnetic resonance. The composite outcome was defined as a 30% decline in eGFR, doubling of serum creatinine levels, or end-stage kidney disease.

Results
Among the 28 candidate metabolites, we identified seven metabolites showing (1) good discrimination between healthy controls and patients with stage 1 CKD and (2) a consistent change in pattern from controls to patients with advanced-stage CKD. Among the seven metabolites, betaine, choline, glucose, fumarate, and citrate showed significant associations with the composite outcome after adjustment for age, sex, eGFR, the urine protein–creatinine ratio, and diabetes. Furthermore, adding choline, glucose, or fumarate to traditional biomarkers, including eGFR and proteinuria, significantly improved the ability of the net reclassification improvement (P < 0.05) and integrated discrimination improvement (P < 0.05) to predict the composite outcome.

Conclusion
Urinary metabolites, including betaine, choline, fumarate, citrate, and glucose, were found to be significant predictors of the progression of CKD. As a signature of kidney injury–related metabolites, it would be warranted to monitor to predict the renal outcome.

Published: June 2023

This paper has a purpose, to discuss the thought of Islamic education according to Fazlur Rahman with an education currently developing. He is a modern Islamic thinker who has the idea of combining general knowledge with Islamic knowledge by inserting Islamic education into secular education. Thus, a person will gain balanced knowledge. Data is collected using library research methods, analyzing Fazlur Rahman's thoughts and their current relevance. From the research results, it can be concluded that Fazlur Rahman's thoughts are relevant to Islamic education in Indonesia. The harmony can be seen in Islamic education because both have the same goal: an effort or process to produce dignified and integrative human beings. In terms of educational methods, it should go up to the stage of understanding and analyzing, not just the stage of memorizing. Regarding the education system, Fazlur Rahman gave the idea not to reject the Western education system. It is intended that Islamic education in Indonesia can dialogue and collaborate with other disciplines. Furthermore, educators are interpreted as people responsible for students' development by seeking the development of all potentials of students, both effective, cognitive, and psychomotor potentials. This must be supported by educational facilities in the form of educators, residents, budget, facilities, and infrastructure.

Manusia menurut pandangan Ki Hajar Dewantara ialah makhluk yang mulia, karena memiliki akal budi yang berarti jiwa. Jiwa manusia merupakan diferensiasi kekuatan-kekuatan yang disebut “trisakti” jiwa. Kekuatan itu adalah kekuatan pikiran, perasaan dan kehendak. Kekuatan-kekuatan itulah yang disebut dalam Islam sebagai potensi bawaan (fitrah) manusia. Konsep pendidikan humanisme menurut Ki Hajar Dewantara ialah tuntunan terhadap jiwa peserta didik yang memiliki kodrat alami sebagai manusia. Kodrat alami itulah yang menjadikan pendidikan bertujuan untuk menjadikan peserta didik menjadi individu yang merdeka baik lahir dan batin, mandiri dan bermanfaat bagi msyarakatnya. Dengan menggunakan sistem Among dan memegang teguh prinsip Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha, Ing Madya Mangun Karsa, Tut Wuri Handayani, atau metode keteladanan diyakini akan mampu membawa peserta didik menuju kemerdekaan lahir dan batin serta mampu mengemban misi sebagai manusia yang dalam wujudnya bermanfaat untuk bangsa dan negara.
