Актуальность исследования обуславливается поиском новых твердых топлив для расширения топливно-энергетического комплекса и совершенствования ресурсосберегающей и экологически безопасной энергетики. Цель: комплексное исследование процесса горения картона и каменного угля, включающее определение основных характеристик горения твердотопливных смесей, определение основных кинетических параметров и установление роли компонентов при горении смеси. Объект: твердотопливная смесь на основе каа-хемского каменного угля и картона. Методы. Теплотехнические характеристики топлив определены согласно: влага аналитическая ГОСТ Р 33503-2015; зольность ГОСТ Р 55661-2013; выход летучих компонентов ГОСТ Р 55660-2013; теплота сгорания ГОСТ Р 147-2013; содержание углерода, водорода, азота ГОСТ Р 32979-2014; кислород ГОСТ Р 27313-2015; сера ГОСТ 8606-2015. Исследование процесса горения топлив осуществлено с помощью дифференциального-термического анализатора SDT Q600 (TA Instruments-Waters LLC, США). Температуры, при которых происходит воспламенение коксового остатка топлива и завершается процесс горения, были определены по методу пересечения кривых. Для определения кинетических характеристик индивидуальных топлив и топливных смесей применялся метод на основе модели Коутса-Редферна. Результаты. Теплота сгорания каа-хемского угля в два раза выше, чем у картона, при этом содержание летучих у картона в 1,8 раза выше, чем у угля, что делает картон перспективным добавочным топливом. Увеличение массовой доли картона в смеси не влияет на температуру воспламенения смеси и находится около 300 °С. Добавление 25 % картона к углю положительно влияет на горение углеродного остатка угля, увеличивая максимальную скорость реакции на 30 % по сравнению с расчетными данными. Энергия активации при этом снижается на 39 %, индекс горения снижается в 2,5 раза. Результаты данного исследования могут быть применены при проектировании нового теплоэнергетического оборудования либо быть учтены при переводе котлов, сжигающих каменный уголь, на сжигание твердотопливных смесей.

Актуальность работы обусловлена возможностью использования углей не только как энергетического топлива, но и как источник ценных элементов-примесей (Ge, Re, Ga, Nb, Zr, Hf, Y, Au, РЗЭ и др.). Особенно это касается токсичных примесей, так как значительное их количество накапливается в золошлаковых отходах, а ряд элементов выносится с газовой фазой или золой-уносом в атмосферу, что влияет на загрязнение окружающей среды. Целью работы является оценка содержания элементов-примесей и форм их нахождения в углях и золах углей месторождения Шубарколь. Объектами исследования являются угли и углевмещающие породы Шубаркольского месторождения (Центральный Казахстан). Методы: углепетрографические исследования; ИК-спектрометрические и пиролитические; инструментальный нейтронно-активационный анализ, масс-спектрометрический метод с индуктивно связанной плазмой, сканирующая электронная микроскопия с рентгеноспектральным анализом. Результаты. Выявлено обогащение углей Шубаркольского месторождения РЗЭ, Sc, Co, Cs, Zr, Ag и Ba. Пласт 2В3 (Аd – 4,8 %) отличается наибольшими содержаниями в разрезе Be, Sc, Co, Zr, Mo, W, Ag, Sb и U при повышенном по сравнению с кларком для угля содержанием V, Cs и Hg. Отдельные пласты (2В3 и 2В1), аномально обогащенные группой элементов и золы их углей, могут рассматриваться как редкометалльное комплексное оруденение. В золе угля пласта 2В3 выше минимально промышленных значений содержание группы металлов: Be (79,4 г/т), Sc (135 г/т), V (771 г/т), Co (493 г/т), Y (201 г/т), Zr (3328 г/т), Mo (130 г/т), Ag (5,4 г/т), Hf (63,5 г/т), сумма РЗЭ+Y (679 г/т). Выявлены минеральные формы редкоземельных элементов (циркон, бадделеит, монацит).

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of endoresection and adjuvant ruthenium (Ru)-106 brachytherapy for uveal melanoma (UM).
Methods: Retrospective case series of 15 UM patients (15 eyes) treated at our center (Careggi University Hospital, Florence).
Results: Six patients (40%) were male and nine were female (60%). The mean age of patients at the time of treatment was 61.6 years (±19.41). The mean BCVA at baseline was 20/50. In all cases UM originated from the choroid. The mean tumor thickness at baseline was 7.14 mm (±2.05), and the mean largest basal diameter was 11.2 mm (±1.92). A concurrent retinal detachment was diagnosed in 11 patients (73.3%). Two patients (13.3%) showed vitreous seeding at baseline. Eleven patients (73.3%) were treated with primary endoresection, while four patients (26.7%) were treated with a “salvage endoresection” after primary treatment failure (previous radiation treatment). The mean follow-up time was 28.9 months (±10.6). Thirteen out of fifteen patients were alive and showed no evidence of local recurrence or distance metastasis at the last follow-up visit. The treatment achieved local control of the disease in 14 out of 15 cases (93.3%). In one case, the patient underwent enucleation for disease recurrence. The overall survival rate at the end of the follow-up was 93.3%. The mean BCVA at last follow-up visit was 20/40. Treatment was well tolerated, without significant complications.
Conclusions: Endoresection and adjuvant Ru-106 brachytherapy is a valuable conservative option for selected UM patients and can be used both as a primary treatment and as a salvage therapy. It can control melanoma and avoid enucleation, reduce radiation-related complications, and provide tumor tissue for chromosomal analysis and prognostic testing.
Observation of non-local impedance response in a passive electrical circuit
Authors: Zhang Xiao , Zhang Boxue , Zhao Weihong , Lee Ching Hua 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In media with only short-ranged couplings and interactions, it is natural to assume that physical responses must be local. Yet, we discover that this is not necessarily true, even in a system as commonplace as an electric circuit array. This work reports the experimental observation of non-local impedance response in a designed circuit network consisting exclusively of passive elements such as resistors, inductors and capacitors (RLC). Measurements reveal that the removal of boundary connections dramatically affects the two-point impedance between certain distant nodes, even in the absence of any amplification mechanism for the voltage signal. This non local impedance response is distinct from the reciprocal non-Hermitian skin effect, affecting only selected pairs of nodes even as the circuit Laplacian exhibits universally broken spectral bulk-boundary correspondence. Surprisingly, not only are component parasitic resistances unable to erode the non-local response, but they in fact give rise to novel loss-induced topological modes at sufficiently large system sizes, constituting a new manifestation of the critical non-Hermitian skin effect. Our findings chart a new route towards attaining non-local responses in photonic or electrical metamaterials without involving non-linear, non-local, active or amplificative elements.
Establishing a Trigger Tool Based on Global Trigger Tools to Identify Adverse Drug Events in Obstetric Inpatients in China
Authors: Wu Shan , Yin Qinan , Wu Yue , Yu Nan , Yan Junfeng , Bian Yuan 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background
To examine the performance of an obstetric trigger tool, compared with the spontaneous reporting system (SRS) and global trigger tools (GTTs), in detecting adverse drug events (ADEs) experienced by obstetric units, and to assess the utility and value of the obstetric trigger tool in identifying ADEs of obstetric inpatients.
Methods
Our obstetric triggers were established on the basis of a literature review, retrospective obstetric ADE investigations, trigger extraction and revision, and expert investigations. We conducted a retrospective study to identity ADEs in 300 obstetric inpatient records at the Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences & Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital from June 1 to September 30, 2018.
Results
Through two rounds of expert investigation, we established 39 preliminary triggers that comprised four modules (12 laboratory tests, nine medications, 14 symptoms, and four outcomes). Three hundred medical records were reviewed by using the obstetric triggers with 49 cases of ADE detected, and the incidence of ADE was 16.33%. Among the 39 obstetric triggers, 22 triggers were positive (56.41%) and 11 of them detected ADE. The positive predictive value (PPV) was 36.36%, and the number of ADEs/100 patients was 16.33 (95% CI, 4.19–17.81). The ADE detection rate, positive trigger rate, and PPV value for the obstetric triggers were significantly augmented, confirming that the obstetric triggers were more specific and sensitive than SRS and GTT.
Conclusion
The obstetric triggers were proven to be sensitive and specific in the active monitoring of ADE for obstetric inpatients, and this could constitute a reference for ADE detection of obstetric inpatients at medical institutions.

Abstract
Multi-spectral imaging is one of the fundamental tools characterizing the constituent energy of scene radiation, and can help non-destructive material identification and quantification. A compact multi-spectral video camera covering a large field of view with high resolution can be of wide applications in scientific discoveries and industrial inspections. However, current multi-spectral video cameras cannot scale up beyond megapixel resolution due to physical constraints from optical design and complexity of reconstruction algorithm. In order to circumvent above issues, we propose a tens-of-megapixel handheld multi-spectral videography approach (THETA) , with a proof-of-concept camera achieving 65-megapixel videography of 12 wavebands within visible light range. The high performance is brought by multiple novel designs in our approach: (i) We propose an imaging scheme to fabricate a thin mask performing multiplexed compressive encoding of spatio-spectral data cube using conventional film photography. (ii) A fiber optic plate is introduced for building a compact prototype supporting pixel-wise encoding supporting large space-bandwidth product imaging system. (iii) A deep network based reconstruction algorithm is adopted for large scale multi-spectral data decoding, with the coding pattern specially designed to facilitate high efficient coarse-to-fine model training. Experimentally, we demonstrate the advantageous and wide applications of THETA on outdoor imaging of large macroscopic scenes.
Financial Outreach, Financial Innovation and Sustainable Development in Africa

Published: March 2023

Abstract

There has been a call on policy makers in the African continent to formulate and implement initiatives that help to realise some of the SDGs, due to the low performance of the continent in terms of meeting the targets of the SDGs. Because of this, the study sought to investigate how banks contribute to sustainable development in the continent. Information was collected on 34 African economies for a period of 11 years spanning from 2010 to 2020. The study employed the Two-step System Generalised Method of Moments technique to estimate the findings. It was discovered that financial outreach has a significant positive and negative relationship with sustainable development, depending on the indicator used to measure outreach. On various dimensions, financial outreach had a negative influence on carbon dioxide emissions, a positive impact on economic sustainability and an inverse relationship with social sustainability. It was also revealed that financial innovation has a significant negative link with sustainable development in Africa. Additionally, the findings revealed that both financial outreach and innovation serve as moderating variables in the finance/development nexus. The study recommends that governments and policy makers in various African countries work together with financial service providers to ensure fair, flexible, and alluring interest rates on loans to the underprivileged, disadvantaged ones in society, and vulnerable businesses to smooth their consumption and boost their businesses.
The more employment the better？– A Study of the Efficiency of the Carbon Emissions Trading Pilot on Labour Allocation
Authors: kong ling-jun 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Environmental regulations are changing the size of employment as well as the structure of employment.To assess this impact, this paper identifies labour allocation efficiency in the classical economic growth equation and uses exponential decomposition to decompose labour allocation efficiency into labour input efficiency and labour allocation structural efficiency to measure the impact of employment size and employment structure on labour allocation efficiency, respectively. Based on the multi-temporal DID, this paper analyses the causal relationship and long-term impact of the carbon emissions trading pilot on labor allocation efficiency through a series of robustness tests such as event study method, counterfactual framework, PSM-DID, spatial-DID and placebo test, and draws the following conclusions: 1) The implementation of the carbon emissions trading pilot has a positive impact on labor allocation efficiency in the pilot region. 2) The impact of the pilot on labour allocation efficiency shows spatial and temporal heterogeneity. That is, on the one hand, this impact gradually increases over time. On the other hand, the efficiency of labour allocation varies across regions in China. In the eastern pilot regions, labour allocation efficiency decreased by an average of 3.67%, including a 2.05% decrease in structural labour allocation efficiency; in the central pilot regions, labour allocation efficiency increased by an average of 3.98%, including a 6.80% increase in labour allocation efficiency; in the western regions, labour allocation efficiency increased by an average of 3.39%, including a 1.09% decrease in structural labour allocation efficiency 3) There is a spatial spillover effect of the pilot policy on carbon emissions trading. In other words, the policy pushes labour from the periphery to the pilot area, thus reducing the efficiency of labour allocation in the periphery.
Data Collection In UAV-Assisted Wireless IoT Networks: An Improved Clustering Algorithm and Resource Allocation Design

Published: March 2023

Abstract

This paper considers a scenario in which an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) collects the sensed data from the terrestrial Internet of things (IoT) devices in an untraveled and base station (BS)-uncovered area.These IoT devices, in this scenario, are of various types and deployed in a spare manner.Consequently, how to design an effective and suitable resource allocation scheme is a key part of dispatching a UAV to collect the sensed data from IoT devices.The goal of this paper is to minimize the UAV's cruise time with the joint optimization of IoT devices' communication scheduling, UAV trajectory, and bandwidth allocation.To facilitate data collection by UAVs, a logarithmic kernel-based mean shift (LKMS) clustering algorithm is proposed to group IoT devices into multiple clusters.Based on the clustering result, a mixed-integer joint non-convex problem is formulated.To avoid the difficulties caused by solving the aforementioned problem directly, the block coordinate descent (BCD)-based method, as an alternative, is adopted to decouple the variables and decompose the non-convex problem.To tackle the non-convex subproblems, a successive convex approximation (SCA)-based algorithm is also proposed.Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is able to achieve significant performance over other schemes for scenarios of UAV-assisted wireless IoT networks to collect a huge amount of data.

Abstract
Microgravity-induced muscle atrophy experienced by astronauts shares similar physiological changes to muscle wasting experienced by older adults, known as sarcopenia. These shared attributes provide a rationale for investigating microgravity-induced molecular changes in human bioengineered muscle cells that may also mimic the progressive underlying pathophysiology of sarcopenia. Here, we report the results of an experiment that incorporated three-dimensional myobundles derived from muscle biopsies from young and older adults, that were integrated into an autonomous CubeLab™, and flown to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard SpaceX CRS-21 in December 2020 as part of the NIH/NASA funded Tissue Chips in Space program. Global transcriptomic RNA-Seq analysis comparing the myobundles in space and on the ground revealed downregulation of shared transcripts related to myoblast proliferation and muscle differentiation for those in space. The analysis also revealed differentially expressed gene pathways related to muscle metabolism unique to myobundles derived from the older cohort exposed to the space environment compared to ground controls. Gene classes related to inflammatory pathways were uniquely modulated in flight samples cultured from the younger cohort compared to ground controls. Our muscle tissue chip platform provides a novel approach to studying the cell autonomous effects of microgravity on muscle cell biology that may not be appreciated on the whole organ or organism level and sets the stage for continued data collection from muscle tissue chip experimentation in microgravity. Thus, we also report on the challenges and opportunities for conducting autonomous tissue-on-chip CubeLabTM payloads on the ISS.
A virtual simulation-based in-service training program on maternal position for midwives: A randomized controlled trial

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background
Restricting parturient women in healthcare facilities from choosing positions that provide the greatest comfort and benefit during labor is a global barrier. Several complex factors, including caregiver preference and medical intervention, shape the limitation. Therefore, a practical need exists to train midwives on the knowledge and skills to change this condition.
Methods
The study used a randomized controlled trial with a pretest-posttest design. A convenience sample of 41 midwives in a birth suite was selected and enrolled in a one-month simulation-based hybrid training or face-to-face teaching. The four-level Kirkpatrick’s model was used to evaluate training program effects.
Results
The virtual simulation-based participants reported training satisfaction, knowledge attainment, and behavior change, as well as improved maternal outcomes in lowering the rate of the perineal incision. Moreover, knowledge performance was associated with the duration of e-learning (r = 0.664, p = 0.001).
Conclusions
Virtual simulation is a fascinating innovation that enables midwives to develop maternal positions without practicing on real pregnant women and is one solution to achieve work competency within a shortened training period.
