Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate change in mean clinic HbA1c from 2014 to 2021 with diabetes technology use in adults with type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
In this single-center study, we analyzed diabetes technology use and mean clinic HbA1c among unique adults (age ≥18 years) with type 1 diabetes (last visit of the year per patient) between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2021 from the electronic medical record. Diabetes technology use was defined as the use of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) without an automated insulin delivery (AID) system or an AID system. Diabetes technology use and HbA1c over time were analyzed using mixed models adjusted for age, sex, and visit year.

RESULTS
A total of 15,903 clinic visits over 8 years (mean 1,988 patients per year, 4,174 unique patients, 52.7% female, 80.0% Non-Hispanic White) showed significant increases in CGM and AID use (P &lt; 0.001 for both), resulting in an increase of diabetes technology use from 26.9% in 2014 to 82.7% in 2021. These increases were associated with a lower mean clinic HbA1c (7.7–7.5%, P &lt; 0.001) and a higher percentage of adults achieving an HbA1c &lt;7.0% (32.3–41.7%, P &lt; 0.001) from 2014 to 2021. The HbA1c difference between technology users and nonusers increased over time from 0.36% (95% CI 0.26–0.47%, P &lt; 0.001) in 2014 to 0.93% (95% CI 0.80–1.06%, P &lt; 0.001) in 2021.

CONCLUSIONS
Adopting diabetes technology in adults with type 1 diabetes decreased HbA1c and increased the number of people achieving an HbA1c &lt;7.0%, supporting the current international recommendation to offer AID systems to most individuals with type 1 diabetes.

Authors: Baraniuk D.S. 
Published: July 2023

The article substantiates the need to apply a marketing approach to the understanding, formation and development of tourist destinations. The definition of the concept of "tourist destination" within the territorial (geographical), economic, tourism-oriented and marketing approaches. In our research the definition of a tourist destination has been clarified as a managed system that has tourist resource potential, tourist infrastructure, tourist resources, a set of tools and technologies, forms relations between domestic and foreign markets to ensure sustainable development of tourism.
According to the marketing approach, a tourist destination should be understood as a set of tourist resources, tourist infrastructure, tourist attractions, which are selected and linked in such a way as to meet the needs and expectations of tourists. Emphasis is placed on the fact that according to the marketing approach, the elements of a tourist destination as a marketing system must be selected and linked so that they meet the needs and expectations of tourists, but do not conflict with the interests of domestic participants.
It is noted that the development of the destination should be carried out within a single strategy, the different interests of the actors of the tourism market should be balanced as much as possible in order to increase the competitiveness of the destination.
The definition of marketing of tourist destinations is offered, which is formed within the framework of the partnership concept focused on the definition and creation of new values for all participants of the interaction.
Each participant in the interaction (tour operators, travel agencies, destination management, residents, visitors, investors, business) should be regarded as unique, and it is necessary to establish stable long-term communication links. It is noted that the achievement of marketing goals (adaptation to changing factors of the marketing environment, attracting tourists, increasing tourist costs, improving reputation, improving image, expanding territorial coverage, entering new tourist niches and developing new types of tourism, crisis management, development of incentives). ) tourist destinations require the use of marketing technologies, methods, techniques, tools, as well as the definition of indicators that reflect the results of marketing and allow you to control the processes
In this research work the structure of the marketing complex according to the "7P" model is considered and the essence of each of the elements is determined. It is concluded that the marketing approach to the destination involves the development of an integrated product of the destination, based on the needs, expectations, perceptions, impressions and emotions of the tourist, and the tourist infrastructure only meets these needs.
Modelling of the Viscosity Effect of Heave Plates for Floating Wind Turbines by Hydrodynamic Coefficients
Authors: Ciba Ewelina , Dymarski Paweł 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
One of the methods of modelling the movement of floating wind turbines is the use of the diffraction method. However, this method does not take into account the influence of viscosity; therefore, in many cases, it needs to be extended with a matrix of appropriate coefficients. The effect of viscosity causes both the added mass coefficient and the damping coefficient to increase. The determined coefficients were entered into the ANSYS AQWA program, and the calculation results of the transfer function determined with the use of linear and quadratic damping were presented. The results were compared with the results of the experiment, indicating greater convergence for the quadratic model.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The appropriate development and customisation of the stent to the urethral tissues requires the determination of many factors such as strength and degradation. Given the distinctive conditions of urethral tissues, it is important that the design of the stent be properly developed. The selection of a stent material requires knowing its material characteristics and verifying that they are suitable for the future implantation site. In the present study, the development of a polydioxanone (PDO)-based stent was undertaken. The PDO material was fabricated using an additive technique – 3D printing. Then, in vitro tests were performed to determine the degradation time of the material under conditions simulating an aggressive urinary environment. The changes in the parameters of mechanical properties before and after the degradation period were determined, and the changes in the structure of the material before and after degradation were observed. Numerical analysis was performed for the proposed stent design. The results showed that PDO has good mechanical properties, but its degradation time is too short to be used in a urethral stent. Among the innovations of the studies conducted are bending strength tests, which is not a frequently considered aspect so far.

Abstract
This study aimed to modify screen-printed carbon micro-electrode surfaces by coating them with multiwall carbon-based nanotubes conjugated with chitosan and then validated the formed multiwall carbon-based nanotubes-chitosan coated screen printed carbon micro-electrode for the detection of homocysteine, a biomarker analyte known as a risk indicator in cardiovascular disease. The microstructure surface and crystallographic structure stability of the formed multiwall carbon-based nanotubes-chitosan obtained at formed multiwall carbon-based nanotubes per chitosan ratios of 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1 were examined via field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray radiation, Raman spectroscopy, surface area and pore size, and thermogravimetric analyses. Homocysteine solutions at 30–100 µM were measured by cyclic voltammetry using the different formed multiwall carbon-based nanotubes-chitosan compositions as sensor electrodes. That with an optimal formed multiwall carbon-based nanotubes per chitosan ratio of 4:1 showed the highest crystallinity and electrical conductivity and gave a high coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.9036) between the homocysteine concentration and the oxidation current detection over an operating range of 30–100 µM. This new composite microelectrode for detecting homocysteine concentration makes it a promising candidate for clinical applications.

Authors: Udosen Inyang U. , Granados Javier T. , Brook John David 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The study has developed a model splicing construct assay system based on splicing misregulation, one of the major molecular features associated with myotonic dystrophy. The splicing construct assay has double reporters for intron 2 splicing in chloride channel (CLCN1). The CLCN1 transgene splicing construct assay was used to transfect wild type and DM fibroblast cell lines and the clones generated showed that it enabled quantification of splicing efficiency in transgene construct. Validation of the DM fibroblasts containing transgene splicing construct was performed by differentiating the DM fibroblasts into myoblasts which exhibited a switch in CLCN1 splicing construct which was consistent with that associated with myotonic dystrophy (DM) condition. The myoblast derived from fibroblasts cell-based gene-splicing assay was subsequently applied in therapeutic screening in small throughput screens of 113 compounds which identified Protein Kinase C inhibitors- hypericin and Ro-31-8220 as potential therapeutic agents. The CLCN1 gene-splicing assay is a good model system for application in therapeutic screening in myotonic dystrophy because its double reporters facilitated quantification of effect putative drug on correction of misregulated splicing.

Abstract
Healthcare monitoring is a rapidly developing network in the field of advanced medical treatment. The network combines the ideology of wireless communication, signal processing, medical information and real-time processing units to support the medical monitoring system. The proposed work focuses on the development of a Free-Space Optical (FSO) system to transmit the biosignals from a remote distance to the physician. Generally, the data transmitted over the FSO system is affected by various atmospheric conditions such as air medium, O2, and H2O molecules. To tackle these problems, the Biosignals Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Electroencephalogram (EEG) are processed in the Optimized Lipschitz Exponent (OLE) function before transmission over the FSO medium. In this novel technique, the OLE function measures the informative data from the biosignals by calculating the local regularities and singularity. This collects the most informative signals and transmits them in the signal over the FSO medium. This particular hybridization helps to transmit the required data without distortion. The Bit Error Rate (BER) of 10−9 is obtained, which satisfies the healthcare monitoring condition. The result section shows that the proposed model has minimum losses compared to the original signal.
Civil Society Organizations, the Good Friday Agreement, and the Northern Ireland Peace Process
Authors: Byrne Seán , Mallon Brett , Yavuz Mehmet 
Published: July 2023

AbstractA qualitative methodology was used to interview 120 participants from 2010 and 29 participants from 2020 who shared their experiences and perceptions about the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) and their peacebuilding work. Longitudinal findings reveal that the participants were critical of the Agreement and the disconnect between politicians and the grassroots as well as recognizing that the Agreement has brought about relative peace in Northern Ireland. While the participants attest to the relative success of the GFA, they also note several criticisms including sectarian politics, new paramilitaries, Brexit, legacy of the past, continuing divisions in Northern Ireland, and the disconnect between politicians and local community peacebuilders. The participants’ criticisms are significant as they attest that while the social peace at the grassroots level is moving forward the political peace is not as evidenced by the recent Unionist backlash against Brexit.

Published: July 2023

This study aims to analyze the effects of YouTube influencers’ source credibility and the information quality of the platform on destination image and young travellers’ intention to visit a destination. Stimulus-organism-response (SOR) theory was adopted to develop the tested research model. This study applied a quantitative approach where primary data was collected through online surveys to 198 YouTube subscribers who had watched the examined YouTube channels’ content. The PLS-SEM technique was utilized to assess the structural model in the study. The results of this study show that source credibility had a significant positive effect on information quality, destination image, and visit intention. The information quality positively affected destination image but did not directly impact the visit intention. Furthermore, the destination image significantly mediates the effect of source credibility and information quality on visit intention. This study enriches the literature on the relationships among source credibility, information quality, and how these credibility and information quality could influence the destination image and young travellers’ intention to visit a destination in an emerging country like Indonesia.
