Theory of a Chemical Kinetic Approach for the Estimation of the Age of Fingerprints
Authors: Gamarra Armando , Rampulla María Carla , Melinato Andreas 
Published: December 2022

Fingerprints are one of the most important forms of physical evidence in forensic investigations worldwide. The age of a fingerprint is the time at which a latent fingerprint was deposited. Unfortunately, there is a lack of reliable methods to determine the age of fingerprints. This is due to the fact that fingerprint composition changes in time through complex chemical, biological and physical processes. Chemical kinetics is the study of reaction rates and the effects of concentration, temperature, pressure and other physical factors on these rates. It establishes quantitative relationships, called rate laws, between the concentrations of reagents, products and time. Therefore, chemical kinetic rate laws allow us to determine the concentration of a given reagent at any time or the time corresponding to a given concentration. In this work we propose to use a chemical kinetic approach to investigate the age of fingerprints by measuring the evolution in time of all of their components at once. To this end, we propose to measure the time evolution of a lumped parameter, the Chemical Oxygen Demand – COD of the fingerprint. This parameter is a measure of the whole composition of the fingerprint.

Published: December 2022

Body pressure dispersion mattresses are useful tools for preventing pressure ulcers in patients with limited mobility who experience prolonged body weight-related compression loads at their body contact areas over time. The objective of this study is to propose and optimize a multicell finite element (FE) model of foam mattress to prevent patients from developing pressure ulcers (bed sores), by improving the contact pressure distribution on the upper mattress surface and immersion in the mattress. The NSGA-II multi-objective genetic algorithm was used to predict different configurations of cell materials to provide a more comfortable sleep. Our mattress model contains many cells (50 × 50 × 50), each of which can contain one of the nine different foam firmnesses. The NSGA-II algorithm attempts to combine the properties of soft and firm foams into a single mattress. however, the complexity and intersection of the fitness function objectives and the high number of possible chances forced the optimal solutions set to extend into the area under the result of foams that have a compressive strength between soft and firm. Based on the overall optimization results, the standard deviation ranged from 0.00325 to 0.00175 MPa and the maximum mattress immersion ranged from 50 mm to less than 20 mm. Mattresses with optimal configurations disperse body pressure smoothly to fit the patient's body shape.

BAKIŞIN FENOMENOLOJİSİ: PASTORAL SENFONİ’DE KÖRLÜK
Authors: KARACA Şahika 
Published: December 2022

Bakış konusu öznenin kuruluşunu açıklamada büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Bakış, Ötekinin üzerinden gerçekleşir ve Öteki arzu alanının kuruluşu için gereklidir. Dolayısıyla varoluş alanı arzu yani yasak etrafında kurulduğu için bakışın önemi daha da iyi anlaşılmaktadır. Pastoral Senfoni’de de körlük ve bakış ekseninde eros ve thanatosun diyalektiği kurulmuştur. Romanda Gertrude’un günahla ilk karşılaşması gözleri açıldıktan sonradır. İlk kez Papaz’ın karısının gözlerinde acı hakikati gördükten sonra duyduğu suçluluk hissiyle intihar eder. Gözleri görmeden önce yasağın bilgisine sahip olmayan Gertrude gözleri açıldıktan sonra yasakla karşılaşır ve mutluluk hâli sona erer. Dolayısıyla bakış günah ve yasakla birlikte romanda acının ortaya çıkmasına neden olur.
Pastoral Senfoni’deki körlük ve körlük dolayımıyla üzerinde durulan bakış konusuyla ilk günah mitinden itibaren karşılaşılmaktadır. İlk günahla birlikte varoluş alanında Öteki ortaya çıkar. Böylece Öteki üzerinden bakış gerçekleşir. Sofokles’in Kral Oedipus oyununda da hakikatle karşılaşan Oidipus gözlerini kör eder. Nitekim Pastoral Senfoni’de de Rahip’le oğlu Jacques arasında geçen diyaloglarda adı sık sık geçen Aziz Pavlus da hakikatle karşılaştığında gözleri kör olur. Dolayısıyla körleşme gerçekten bakışı çevirme etrafında açıklanabilir. Oidipus’un annesi Jacoste ve Gertrude’un ise gerçeğe bakışları beden bütünlüklerine son vermeyle/intiharla sonuçlanır. Bu durum eril ve dişil olanın gerçeğe karşı aldıkları tavırların farklılığından kaynaklanmaktadır. Pastoral Senfoni’de Gertrude körlük ve bakış ekseninde eros ve thanotos çatışmasının şiddetiyle Öteki’nin bakışından bedenini çekmiştir.

Published: December 2022

Introduction: We aimed to present the patient who applied to the emergency department, who did not want to be tested due to fear of giving blood sample, but was discharged after blood sample was taken comfortably with hypnosis application.
Case Report: A forty six-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency department with complaints of headache and fatigue. It was learned that the patient avoided going to the hospital because of the fear of giving blood samples for years. Blood tests were requested from the patient, but the patient stated that she did not want to give blood sample. The patient accepted our offer to take blood under hypnosis and stated that he would try to give blood with this method. Thereupon, the patient was taken to a suitable environment and stretcher in the emergency room. During this hypnosis session, which lasts about 15 minutes, the patient; she gave samples for blood tests very comfortably and happily. The patient, who stated her happiness after the procedure, continued her next procedures in a relaxed way.
Conclusion: Hypnosis application is a method that can be used by emergency doctors according to the needs of patients who are fear of giving blood samples.

Introduction: In the view of 3D-bioprinting with cell models representative of neural cells, we produced inks to mimic the basic viscoelastic properties of brain tissue. Moving from the concept that rheology provides useful information to predict ink printability, this study improves and expands the potential of the previously published 3D-reactive printing approach by introducing pH as a key parameter to be controlled, together with printing time.Methods: The viscoelastic properties, printability, and microstructure of pectin gels crosslinked with CaCO3 were investigated and their composition was optimized (i.e., by including cell culture medium, HEPES buffer, and collagen). Different cell models representative of the major brain cell populations (i.e., neurons, astrocytes, microglial cells, and oligodendrocytes) were considered.Results and Discussion: The outcomes of this study propose a highly controllable method to optimize the printability of internally crosslinked polysaccharides, without the need for additives or post-printing treatments. By introducing pH as a further parameter to be controlled, it is possible to have multiple (pH-dependent) crosslinking kinetics, without varying hydrogel composition. In addition, the results indicate that not only cells survive and proliferate following 3D-bioprinting, but they can also interact and reorganize hydrogel microstructure. Taken together, the results suggest that pectin-based hydrogels could be successfully applied for neural cell culture.

Background: Because of the rising prevalence of anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) damage, there is a considerable interest in developing innovative techniques to improve the biological healing response of ATFL. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) includes several growth factors linked to a favorable healing response, however none of the studies involved both quality evaluation and clinical results to evaluate this treatment.Purpose: To determine the clinical results of PRP injections into the ATFL in lateral ankle sprain (LAS) patients, as well as the quality of the ATFL based on radiographic outcomes.Methods: Patients with clinically confirmed grade II LAS for the first time (n = 83) were examined. The clinical outcomes of three types of injection methods were evaluated: none, once within 48 h after the sprain, and once more 4 weeks later after first injection. PRP was injected into the tear site of the ATFL using ultrasound guidance, and all ankles were immobilized for 2 weeks. The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to assess the results at 2, 6, 8, 24, and 48 weeks of follow-up. The signal/noise ratio (SNR) value of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-based ATFL signal intensity can disclose ATFL quality. The ATFL SNR results were then assessed 8, 24 and 48 weeks following the first injection to compare ATFL quality.Results: The PRP injection groups outperformed the control group in terms of clinical outcomes, and the two injections group outperformed other groups in terms of pain reduction and functional outcome at 8 weeks. The clinical results of all groups were comparable at 6 and 12 months follow-up. ATFL SNR findings improved significantly across all groups over time. At the same follow-up time, the PRP injection groups outperformed the control group, and the best SNR result showed in the two injections group at the final follow-up.Conclusion: PRP injection helped relieve early symptoms of LAS, although all patients saw a similar development after 6 months. The two PRP injections group produced considerably better clinical results and quality of the ATFL in short-term follow-up.

Published: December 2022

BackgroundThis study aimed to understand the perceptions that Spanish teachers of different educational levels have about the functions attributed to them, the overload of administrative tasks that they face daily, and the external consideration that their professional profile has raised. A generational perspective was adopted in this study, taking into consideration different educational stages: Early Childhood, Primary, and Secondary Education.MethodsThis descriptive study was developed using a qualitative methodology. The data were extracted through semi-structured interviews with 60 Spanish teachers from public schools. The information was analyzed with the qualitative data analysis tool ATLAS.ti, version 22.ResultsThe results extracted from this study expose the overload of administrative work that teachers face daily, preventing them from developing pedagogical tasks that can improve their practice. In addition, the results highlight that a series of prejudices and negative external considerations toward the figure of the teacher are developing in the society.ConclusionIt can be concluded that older and more experienced teachers in educational centers place more emphasis on the work overload that they have assumed over the years in their work. However, novice teachers do not show as much concern about this work overload. Additionally, teachers state that the society has a negative regard for their work.

Published: December 2022

ContextPre-clinical evidence suggests that prolactin has important metabolic functions in pregnancy and postpartum, in addition to lactogenic actions.ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between prolactin and maternal metabolic outcomes in human pregnancy and postpartum, particularly in relation to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Data sourcesMEDLINE via OVID, CINAHL plus, Embase.Study selectionEligible studies included women who were pregnant or up to 12 months postpartum, reporting at least one maternal serum prolactin level in relation to key metabolic outcomes including GDM, glycaemic parameters, obesity, and gestational weight gain.Data extractionTwo independent reviewers extracted data.Data synthesisTwenty-six articles were included. Meta-analysis showed no relationship between maternal prolactin levels and GDM status, with a weighted mean difference of -2.14 ng/mL (95% CI -12.54 to 8.27 ng/mL, p=0.7) between GDM and controls in early pregnancy (n=3 studies) and -3.89 ng/mL (95% CI, -15.20 to 7.41 ng/mL, p=0.5) in late pregnancy (n=11 studies). In narrative synthesis of other outcomes (due to study heterogeneity and/or lack of data), prolactin levels were not associated with maternal glycaemic or weight-related parameters during pregnancy, but in the postpartum period (particularly with lactation) a high-prolactin environment was associated with low circulating insulin and beta-cell function, and increased insulin sensitivity.ConclusionsCurrent evidence from human studies does not clearly support a relationship between prolactin and metabolic parameters during pregnancy, including with GDM status. Elevated prolactin was associated with lower insulin and beta-cell function and higher insulin sensitivity in the post-partum period, but the direction of causality remains unclear.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier [CRD42021262771].

ObjectivesTo evaluate the frequency and risk of malignancy of TSHRpI568T mutations discovered in indeterminate thyroid nodules (ITN) within the Veracyte CLIA laboratory undergoing Afirma® Genomic Sequencing Classifier (GSC) testing, and to evaluate a broader cohort of TSHR variants and their categorization as Afirma GSC benign (GSC-B) or suspicious (GSC-S). Finally, we seek to assess the risk of malignancy (ROM) of this group of TSHR mutated ITN in the GSC-S category.MethodsITN submitted to Veracyte for Afirma GSC testing between October 2017 and February 2022 were analyzed for TSHR variants and rates of GSC-B and GSC-S were calculated based upon BIII or IV cytology, by TSHR variant codon amino acid (AA) substitution, age, and gender. For GSC-S samples, surgical pathology reports were requested, and the rate of malignancy was calculated.ResultsFive percent of the ITN samples harbored an isolated TSHR variant and 5% of those were classified as GSC-S. Among TSHRpI568T samples, 96% were GSC-B and of the GSC-S samples, 21% were malignant. Among an unselected group of TSHR, absent TSHRpI568T mutations, 16.3% of GSC-S samples were malignant, all but one with codon mutations in the transmembrane subdomains of the TSHR. This prompted a dedicated evaluation of transmembrane codons which revealed a malignancy rate of 10.7% among GSC-S nodules. In total, 13/85 (15.3%) TSHR mutated ITN with Afirma GSC-S results were found to be malignant.ConclusionsTSHR variants are rare in ITN, and most are categorized as benign under Afirma GSC testing which carries a &lt; 4% risk of malignancy. For GSC-S ITN with TSHR mutations, the risk of malignancy is ≥= 15%, which is clinically meaningful and may alter treatment or monitoring recommendations for patients.
Using MODIS data to track the long-term variations of dissolved oxygen in Lake Taihu
Authors: Liu Miao , Wang Li , Qiu Fangdao 
Published: December 2022

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is crucial for the health of aquatic ecosystems, and plays an essential role in regulating biogeochemical processes in inland lakes. Traditional measurements of DO using the probe or analysis in a laboratory are time-consuming and cannot obtain data with high frequency and broad coverage. Satellites can provide daily/hourly observations within a broad scale and have been used as an important technique for aquatic environments monitoring. However, satellite-derived DO in waters is challenging due to its non-optically active property. Here, we developed a two-step model for retrieving DO concentration in Lake Taihu from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua images. A machine learning model (eXtreme gradient boosting) was developed to estimate DO from field water temperature, water clarity, and chlorophyll-a (Chla) (root-mean-square error (RMSE) = 0.98 mg L−1, mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) = 7.9%) and subsequently was validated on MODIS-derived water temperature, water clarity, and Chla matchups with a satisfactory accuracy (RMSE = 1.28 mg L−1, MAPE = 9.9%). MODIS-derived DO in Lake Taihu from 2002 to 2021 demonstrated that DO ranged from 7.2 mg L−1 to 14.2 mg L−1, with a mean value of 9.3 mg L−1. DO in the northern region was higher than in the central and southern regions, and higher in winter than in summer. We revealed that DO in this decade (2010–2021) was considerably lower than that in the last decade (2002–2009). Meanwhile, annual mean of DO increased in 2002–2009 and decreased from 2010 to 2021. The spatial distribution of DO in Lake Taihu was related to Chla and water clarity, while seasonal and interannual variations in DO resulted from air temperature primarily. This research enhances the potential use of machine learning approaches in monitoring non-optically active constituents from satellite imagery and indicates the possibility of long-term and high-range variations in more water quality parameters in lakes.

Published: December 2022

IntroductionNitrogen (N) gradient studies in some cases use N deposition in throughfall as measure of N deposition to forests. For evaluating critical loads of N, however, information on total N deposition is required, i.e., the sum of estimates of dry, wet and occult deposition.MethodsThe present paper collects a number of studies in Europe where throughfall and total N deposition were compared in different forest types. From this dataset a function was derived which allows to estimate total N deposition from throughfall N deposition.ResultsAt low throughfall N deposition values, the proportion of canopy uptake is high and thus the underestimation of total deposition by throughfall N needs to be corrected. At throughfall N deposition values &gt; 20 kg N ha–1 yr–1 canopy uptake is getting less important.ConclusionThis work shows that throughfall clearly underestimates total deposition of nitrogen. With the present data set covering large parts of Europe it is possible to derive a critical load estimate from gradient studies using throughfall data.
