Construction and method of assessment and research of the parameters of a load-lifting winch with a sectional disc drum
Authors: Horbatenko Yuriy , Semenchuk Roman 
Published: March 2023

The object of the study is a load-lifting winch with a sectional-disc drum for single-row multi-layer laying of flexible elements, cargo cables and power cables, during their winding, electrically protected. The winch is intended for suspension and lifting and lowering of illuminated devices and equipment in closed rooms.
In the process of research (constructive development, determination and analysis of parameters), the problem of creating a winch design of the specified type with a qualitatively increased overall level of functionality is solved according to the indicators:
1) electrical insulation, compactness and necessary strength of fastening of flexible elements, lifting cables and power cables on the drum;
2) controllability of the drive: in transitional periods – to ensure smooth acceleration-stopping of the suspension; in the period of constant movement – to ensure a constant speed of the suspension during raising and lowering.
Electrical insulation between the power cable, the drum and other parts of the winch is created by using parts (discs) made of synthetic insulating material, for example, fiberglass, in the construction of the drum. Clamping of flexible elements between the disks in specially profiled C-shaped ring grooves, on the ends of the hub, of the disks ensures the necessary strength and compactness of the attachment. The smoothness of starting (stopping) of the drive and the constant speed of the suspension during the period of constant movement are established by adjusting the frequency converter in the drive control system according to the parameters determined by a specially developed methodology.
The obtained results, constructive solutions and methods of research (estimation and analysis) of winch parameters can be used in the design of the structure and adjustment of the control system of lifting devices of this type.

The Mindstorms EV3 robot, developed by LEGO, is one of the popular robots that has been widely used in various fields. Unlike previous versions of mobile LEGO robots, EV3 allows the development of real-time applications for teaching a variety of subjects, as well as for conducting research experiments. The object of research in this case is the Mindstorms EV3 robot connected to MATLAB/Simulink. The design consists of a controller, one color sensor, two servo motors and one support wheel. Each servo motor is built on a DC collector motor with a matching gearbox and has the ability to measure the number of revolutions corresponding. A digital sensor with a sampling frequency of 1 kHz is used as a color sensor, which can determine the color or brightness of light. Despite its popularity, the EV3 robot control system in interaction with the MATLAB/Simulink programming environment is a rather complex solution and therefore requires further research. The scientific part of the research focuses on discovering the regularities of the Mindstorms EV3 control system, developing a control system model, and exploring the potential of MATLAB/Simulink to expand the robot's capabilities. An analysis of the main elements of the control system, such as sensors and servos, was carried out. The graphs of the dependences of the characteristics of the servo drives were built and the efficiency of the robot movement was checked depending on the parameters set in the program. The result of the development of the mobile robot control system was the adjustment of the mobile robot movement regulators along a given trajectory in the form of a drawn line, which allowed estimating the maximum permissible speed of the robot movement. The presented research and development of a control system based on MATLAB/Simulink elements allows using the proposed method to control a mobile robot with high precision, analyze and verify the robot's electromechanical parameters in real time. This control system has a high potential and can practically be integrated into industrial objects of mobile robotics, provided types the sensors and executive mechanisms of the mobile robot match.

Published: March 2023

The sudden occurrence of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has affected the education sector in Indonesia. The Indonesian government responded to this matter and issued a policy on the implementation of distance learning or known as the school from home. School from home has been applied to all education levels in Indonesia, including primary schools. This qualitative case study investigates the implementation of school from home in English for young learners' classrooms at a primary school in Indonesia. The data was collected through online classroom observation in second, fourth, and sixth-grade classrooms and interviews with five English teachers who taught in first until sixth-grade classrooms. Data from the interview were analyzed using thematic analysis, resulting in three generated themes on the implementation of school from home in English for young learners' classrooms. The themes include teachers' readiness to implement school from home, teachers' strategies to implement online learning as part of the school from home, and teachers' strategies to overcome challenges in online learning. The results of the study indicated that the implementation of school from home requires thorough preparation and has the potential to be implemented in English for young learners' classrooms, especially in the upper-grade classrooms of primary schools.

Published: March 2023

Purpose: TNF-α, which increases in the circulation as a result of systemic inflammation, suppresses the production of the erythropoiesis regulating hormone, erythropoietin (EPO) and causes inflammation anemia. The anti-inflammatory activity of quercetin has been reported in different studies. However, no study has been found showing the effect of this situation on EPO gene expression. For this purpose, we evaluated the effects of quercetin on inflammation and, more importantly, its effects on EPO, suppressed in the inflammatory environment and Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF), which are stimulators of EPO synthesis. In addition, we aimed to evaluate the effect of quercetin on pyroptosis, which is defined as pro-inflammatory programmed cell death.
Materials and Methods: We created inflammation models with TNF-α or LPS using HepG2 cells in vitro. In these inflammation models, we evaluated the effects of quercetin on proinflammatory mediators TNF-α, IL-1α, NF-κB gene expressions, EPO, HIF-1α, HIF-2α gene expressions, as well as pyroptosis-related caspase 1 and IL-18 gene expressions.
Results: Quercetin showed inflammatory effects by increasing TNF-α, IL-1α, and NF-κB mRNA levels. Consistent with this inflammatory effect, EPO mRNA expression was suppressed. HIF-1α and HIF-2α mRNA levels were increased.
Conclusion: These results suggested that the increase in HIFs could not prevent the suppressive effect of inflammatory cytokines and NF-κB on EPO production. However, it has been observed that it tends to suppress proinflammatory cell death by decreasing caspase 1 and IL-18 mRNA levels. These results show that quercetin may show conflicting effects, and further studies are needed to test its safety.

Published: March 2023

Purpose: Oxidative stress increases in uremic conditions such as kidney failure and during hemodialysis. In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between the total antioxidant capacity of the diet and the serum oxidative stress (sOSI) index in hemodialysis patients.
Materials and Methods: In this study conducted with 82 individuals (41 patients and 41 controls). Demographic characteristics and anthropometric measurements of the individuals were taken by researchers. In order to determine the nutritional status of the individuals, 3-day food consumption records were taken and the total antioxidant capacity of the diet was calculated.
Results: The mean age of the individuals participating in the study was found to be 54.01±2.24 years. Hemodialysis treatment mean for 4.8±3.12 years. While 41.46% of hemodialysis patients were moderately malnourished. Dietary Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity (dORAC) (μmol) measurement result was found to be 2415.3±1073.45, 5468.4±2393.85 in the hemodialysis and control groups, respectively. In the multiple logistic regression analysis performed, the decrease in body mass index (OR 2.21 95% CI 1.050-2.317) and triceps skinfold thickness values (OR 3.22 95% CI 1.722-4.001) in hemodialysis patients led to an increase in the sOSI value. It has been observed that when dietary protein (OR 1.23 95% CI 1.003-3.189), vitamin C (OR 2.88 95% CI 1.004-3.106) and dTAC (OR 2.04 95% CI 1.967-2.001) increase, the sOSI value decreases in hemodialysis patients.
Conclusion: There is a positive relationship between diet total antioxidant capacity and serum antioxidant level, and it was determined that the dietary antioxidant capacity of hemodialysis patients was significantly lower than that of healthy individuals. According to the results of the study, it is recommended to monitor the food consumption status of hemodialysis patients in order to increase the dietary antioxidant capacity.

Purpose: It is known that the decrease in estrogen level in women's life has negative effects on the cardiovascular system. In this study, it was aimed to elucidate the changes in the clinical status and treatment requirement of patients with heart failure (HF) during the menopausal transition period.
Materials and Methods: A total of 26 patients followed up in the HF outpatient clinic between 2015–2020 were included in this retrospective, single-center study. Demographic data of the patients, New York Heart Association class, echocardiographic findings, routine biochemical parameters and HF signs, symptoms and therapies were examined. Data at the beginning of the menopause period and after 12 months were compared.
Results: At the end of the 12-month follow-up, a statistically significant increase was found in the daily dose of furosemide (50.5 mg/day vs. 72.4 mg/day). While the mean heart rate of the patients was 80.4±20.1 beats/min at the beginning, it was 69.3±10.1 beats/min in the control visit. Echocardiographically measured left ventricular (LV) systolic diameters of the patients were significantly increased compared to baseline in the control visit (41.2±7.4 mm vs 45.8±7.0 mm,).
Conclusion: The menopausal period caused an increase in the need for treatment in patients followed up with HF. Therefore, in evaluation of the patients with HF, it would be a useful approach to question the menopausal status in detail and to follow the patients more closely during the menopausal transition period.
The effect of solifenacin treatment for urge urinary incontinence on sexual function in premenopausal and postmenopausal women: a prospective observational study
Authors: EVRÜKE İpek Merve , TAŞ İnci Sema 
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine whether solifenacin used for urge urinary incontinence improves sexual function and if so this improvement differs between premenopausal and postmenopausal women.
Materials and Methods: 120 women, 48 premenopausal and 72 postmenopausal were enrolled in the study. They filled out the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) before, three months, and six months after the solifenacin 5mg daily treatment for urge urinary incontinence. The results were interpreted in two groups, premenopausal and postmenopausal. The FSFI scores for baseline and for post-treatment were compared for both groups and with each other.
Results: All domains of FSFI except orgasm were improved with the use of Solifenacin. The mean FSFI scores following three months (n=110) and six months (n=65) of solifenacin treatment are significantly improved compared to the baseline in both premenopausal and postmenopausal patients. This improvement in FSFI scores does not significantly differ between premenopausal and postmenopausal groups.
Conclusion: Solifenacin treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms has been shown to have a positive impact on the sexual functions of both premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Although treatment with solifenacin improved sexual dysfunction in women, this improvement did not vary between premenopausal and postmenopausal women.

Authors: Banger Anjali , Srivastava Anamika , Yadav Anjali , Sharma Ruchika , Srivastava Manish 
Published: March 2023

Purpose: Generally, conventional or volatile organic solvents are extracted from petroleum resources and other such resources harmful to living species' environment and wellbeing. Because of this severe threat, researchers developed some eco-friendly alternations to circumvent the difficulties associated with traditional solvents. This review paper provides an overview of different alternatives or substitutes to overcome the toxicity of conventional solvents.
Methodology: The properties of a green solvent, tools, and techniques used to measure the greenness of solvent, its parameters, classification, and applications in various fields are the factors reviewed in this study.
Principal Findings: Chemical and pharmaceutical industries use around 80% of chemical-based solvents out of the total volume for various chemical procedures. The evolution of green chemistry has led to the development of green solvents.
Implications: The use of non-conventional solvents also offers prospects for facilitating the recycling and recovery of the solvents.
Novelty: The novelty of this work includes its eco-friendliness and sustainability over traditional organic solvents. Along with these, green solvents can be recycled for further use. On a green note, we have discussed various types of solvents, parameters, their properties and applications in different fields in this chapter. And all of them possess some unique characteristics and advantages over conventional organic solvents. Some of them are completely eco-friendly and others in a way require some research and enhancement in techniques to behave like one.
Results of Archaeological Rescue Excavations at the Site of the Former German Forced Labour Camp KL Jawischowitz, Oświęcim District
Authors: Tabaszewski Wojciech , Wardas-Lasoń Marta 
Published: March 2023

The paper presents the results of rescue archaeological excavations carried out at the site of the former German forced labour camp KL Jawischowitz, a sub-camp of KL Auschwitz-Birkenau. It discusses the historical material related to individual phases of use of the building complex as well as the camp architecture and the accompanying technical infrastructure.
The remains of architecture connected with two blocks of flats and the camp infrastructure functioning in the years 1942–1945 and also used later were discovered. Movable ­historical objects obtained during the research in the form of fragments of ceramics (porcelain, tiles, and construction ceramics) and glass, connected with the functioning of the German forced labour camp, were also analysed. Between 1945 and 1950, the camp was used by the authorities of the Polish People’s Republic as a forced labour camp for German citizens, members of the NSDAP and the Hitlerjugend, Volksdeutsche, and people suspected of disloyalty to Poland. The last stage of the operation of the former camp complex took place after 1950, when it was converted into a workers’ housing estate. Since the demolition of the housing estate in the 1970s the area has been used as a park, which is currently undergoing revitalisation.
The Relics of the Great War in the Foreground of the Dęblin Fortress as a Basis for the Creation of the Cultural Heritage of the Region
Authors: Bachanek Angelika 
Published: March 2023

The article presents provisional results of research into material relics of the Great War in the foreground of the Dęblin Fortress. In the years 1914–1915, this area became the arena of battles between the Russian, German, and Austro-Hungarian armies. The hostilities left their mark on the landscape, such as field fortifications, forts, and cemeteries. The aim of the research was to locate and establish the chronology of the remains of field fortifications on the Gniewoszów-Bąkowiec-Mozolice line. The research involved analysis of source materials, LiDAR, field verifications, and analysis of the social value of relics of the Great War. The last phase of the research was analysis of the social value of these objects based on the philosophy of managing the past through preservation and heritage, exemplified by the cemetery in Wysokie Koło and the Gorchakov Fort. The research allowed to determine the course of the main Russian defence line from 1915, which consisted of three groups: Gniewoszów, Bąkowiec, and Mozolice. The best preserved are the remains of field fortifications within the Bąkowiec group, which was the central section of the Russian defence line. As analysis of the social value of the Great War relics indicates, the dominant way is to create heritage, and the message conveyed by the content of places representing the past causes a lot of controversy and conflicts among local residents.
Badania archeologiczne przy ul. Podgórnej 1 we Wronkach, pow. szamotulski, woj. wielkopolskie. Przyczynek do historii miasta
Authors: Wawrzyniak Piotr , Banaszak Paweł , Krzepkowski Marcin 
Published: March 2023

W pierwszej dekadzie kwietnia 2019 r. przeprowadzono archeologiczne badania ratownicze przy ulicy Podgórnej 1 we Wronkach. Dotąd na terenie wronieckiej Starówki nie rozpoznano metodą archeologiczną żadnej historycznej działki mieszkalnej. W wykopach wytyczonych w partii frontowej posesji zarejestrowano układ nawarstwień kulturowych z końca XIV – początków XXI w., odsłonięto pozostałości domu mieszkalnego wzniesionego w konstrukcji szkieletowej w drugiej połowie XVII – początkach XVIII w., pozyskano zbiór ponad 1300 fragmentów ceramiki średniowiecznej, nowożytnej i współczesnej. Niestety, ograniczenia wynikające z przyjętego ratowniczego trybu badań uniemożliwiły dogłębne przebadanie całej powierzchni parceli.
Not for the Poor. The Biblia Pauperum on Medieval and Renaissance Tiled Stoves in Poland
Authors: Marciniak-Kajzer Anna 
Published: March 2023

As Biblia pauperum, we define not only books with an abbreviated text of Sacred Scripture, which were dominated by illustrations, but also cycles of artistic representations, e.g. painted on the walls of churches or decorating window stained-glass windows. However, other iconographic sources, such as stove tiles, are much less known. As archaeological monuments, most often preserved in fragments, they have not yet been thoroughly analysed. The article discusses medieval and Renaissance tiles with figural scenes with biblical motifs. As the archaeological sites most often feature several tiles decorated with similar thematic motifs, they should be treated as evidence of a conscious decision to show the cycle of events described in the Bible on the stove.
Sustentabilidade ambiental: um estudo sob a perspectiva da teoria institucional
Authors: Menzel Warken Ines Liani , Klan Roberto Carlos 
Published: March 2023

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar as forças inovadoras que influenciam uma universidade para a adoção de práticas de sustentabilidade ambiental, sob a perspectiva da teoria institucional. Para o alcance do objetivo proposto, aplicou-se um questionário sobre Educação Ambiental com 97 questões fechadas, adaptado de Freitas (2013) e respondido pelo departamento de sustentabilidade da Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul (UFFS). Os dados foram tabulados no software Excel e tratados de maneira quantitativa por meio de estatística descritiva. Os resul- tados demonstram que as forças de inovação que influenciam a UFFS advêm do ambiente interno e externo e é motivada por isomorfismo coercitivo (36,56%), isomorfismo normativo (36,56%) e por isomorfismo mimético (26,88%). Denota-se assim, que a instituição adota as práticas de sustentabilidade ambiental influenciada preponderantemente pela legislação e profissionalização, ao invés de imitar práticas legitimadas entre as Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES). Estes resultados se assemelham aos achados de estudos nacionais e internacionais sobre asustentabilidade ambiental em IES, que a definem como incipiente no segmento.
Supporting the Global Biodiversity Framework monitoring with LUI, the Land Use Intensity indicator
Authors: Spangenberg Joachim H. 
Published: March 2023

Biodiversity loss has been identified as one of the environmental impacts where humankind has been tres-passing planetary boundaries most significantly. Going beyond the pressures causing damages (calling them ‘direct drivers’) and analysing their underlying driving forces, IPBES, the Intergovernmental Sci-ence-Policy Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, also identified a series of indirect drivers. The Montreal-Kunming Global Biodiversity Framework GBF including its suggested monitoring approach is intended to and claims to be a policy response to such analyses.
However, to assess the human impact on ecosystems as a basis for planning conservation and restoration, as foreseen in the GBF, monitoring ecosystem typologies (in the GBF with reference to the UN statistical standard SEEA ES, which in turn refers to the IUCN ecosystem classification) is not enough. It needs to be complemented with data on the severity of human impacts, and on the history of places, i.e. how and when the current ecosystem status was brought about.
In this conceptual paper we suggest LUI, a deliberately simple ordinal scale index for land use intensity changes, to address these two gaps. It is based on the hemeroby concept, measuring the human impact as deviation from naturalness. This makes it an information collection and presentation tool for those working in landscape planning and management. LUI’s simple and intuitively understandable structure makes it suitable for citizens’ science applications, and thus for participative monitoring when extensive statistical data gathering is not feasible, and past data are not available. Of course is can also be used as a simple too for communicating when detailed statistical data series are available.
While the aggregate index is expected to communicate well, its components are more relevant to motivate and help policy makers to prioritise their decisions according to the severity of recent anthropogenic ecosystem disturabances.
