Computational design exploration of a segmented concrete shell building floor system
Authors: Costa Eduardo , Oval Robin , Shepherd Paul , Orr John 
Published: March 2023

The construction industry is responsible for nearly half of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions and the use of an extremely large volume of concrete – the world's most widely used man-made material – accounts for more than 7% of global carbon dioxide emissions. The scale of this problem spawned research to explore the potential for structurally efficient non-prismatic geometries to reduce the amount of concrete used in building elements substantially, thus also reducing their embodied carbon dioxide footprint. In particular, the research focused on segmented thin concrete shells as floor slabs, leveraging computational design and digital fabrication methodologies to automate their production off site. An important part of this research was the development of a computational framework for the design of thin concrete shells in order to make such a construction methodology accessible to building designers in practice. The framework combines solutions for parametric modelling, finite-element analysis, isogeometric analysis, form-finding and optimisation, along with embedded fabrication constraints specific to the project's automated manufacturing system. The application of the developed computational framework in the design of a 4.5 m × 4.5 m prototype is documented in this paper, illustrating how automating concrete construction can transform the industry towards net-zero.

Significance Statement
Histologic quantification of complement C3 deposits in kidney biopsies provides prognostic information in patients with glomerulonephritis. Unfortunately, kidney biopsies are invasive procedures that cannot be performed regularly and only provide a snapshot of a small portion of one kidney at the time of sampling. We have developed a method to noninvasively detect specific C3 fragment deposition throughout both kidneys, using a monoclonal antibody targeting tissue-bound iC3b/C3d linked to a bioluminescent resonance energy transfer construct that emits near-infrared light. In a mouse model of glomerulonephritis, the probe detected iC3b/C3d in kidneys of live mice by bioluminescent imaging. This demonstrates that noninvasive imaging with an anti-iC3b/C3d probe can be used to monitor inflammation in the kidneys.

Authors: Padmashali Ashwini 
Published: March 2023

Background: To prevent the transmission of COVID-19 infection, lockdown and social distancing was imposed across various countries. The people working in the information technology (IT) sector started working remotely. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of stress and burnout among the IT professionals due to sudden transition to work from home situation.
Methods: In the present cross-sectional study an online questionnaire was used for data collection from the software professionals who worked from home for a minimum duration of 1 year during the pandemic. The study sample was collected using convenience sampling and sample size attained was 40. The data analysis was done with statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. Percentages, means and standard deviations (SD) were calculated. For analytical purpose Chi-square test was used to measure the significance.
Results: The study population consisted of 24 (60%) males and 16 (40%) females. The mean of the years of experience was 10.5 years (SD=5.5). 47.5% of the study population agreed that they worked up to 8 hours and 12 hours per day. 57.5% reported of finding work from home more stressful due to increase in responsibilities of household as well as child care. 87.5% developed moderate stress and 47.5% experienced moderate burnout due to personal issues.
Conclusions: To conclude, the prevalence of stress due to work from home situation was much higher than burnout among the IT professionals. Although they had the perks of reduction in travel time, the other responsibilities of increased domestic workload caused considerable stress.

Published: March 2023

To establish normative database andinvestigate whether VEP amplitude and latency have any correlation between them. Institution based cross-sectional observational study done in Electrophysiology of Vision Laboratory at a tertiary centre in Eastern India. 126 subjects of age group between 20 and 59 years of either sex with best corrected visual acuity 6/6 in both eyes and no other eye ailments (except error of refraction) on examination with informed consent were included. PVEP with pattern reversal stimulus with check element size 1° (60') was recorded with Retimax “Advanced” machine (manufactured by CSO s.r.l., (Firenze) Italy) and standard silver-silver chloride disc electrodes. The test parameters were customized in the machine by the manufacturer and designated to measure the N75-P100 amplitude and P100 latency.Normative values were established for our laboratory. Only the most reliable parameters for clinically significant alterations of visual pathway i.e. N75-P100 amplitude and P100 latency were included in the analysis. Results of uniocular, age group-wise and gender-wise values were obtained by descriptive statistics as per ISCEV guidelines. No linear co-relationship (ascertained by Spearman's rho Correlation Coefficient) was found between N75-P100 amplitude and P100 latency, in either of the eyes. PVEP amplitude and latency are uncorrelated variables. To the best of our knowledge, our study was the first study in literature on correlation between amplitude and latency of PVEP.

Authors: Rizal Sofyan , Adibah Nur 
Published: March 2023

This study analyzes the effect of Islamic economic instruments, such as zakat, SBSN, and Islamic Venture Capital (MVS), on Indonesia's economic growth. GDP measures economic growth, while the zakat variable is proxied by the distribution carried out by BAZNAS. Furthermore, MVS and SBSN are measured by total sharia business financing, and total ownership of State Sukuk issued during the study period. This study uses multiple linear models to analyze the impact of Islamic venture capital, ZIS, and SBSN regression from 2011 – 2020. The multiple regression tests were used to partially or simultaneously determine the effect of ZIS funds delivery, Sukuk (SBSN), and Islamic venture capital financing on Indonesia's economic growth. The results showed that the distribution of ZIS partially significantly affects economic growth. The SBSN and Venture Capital variables also have a significant and positive effect. Simultaneously, ZIS distribution and Sharia financing, namely SBSN and Islamic Venture Capital, significantly affected economic growth. This result implies that an increase in Islamic capital financing, SBSN, and distribution of ZIS funds can positively encourage Indonesia's economic growth.

Published: March 2023

Islamic Rural Banks have a priority scale in the real sector, which is solely dependent on economic conditions. Admittedly, the Covid-19 pandemic caused serious economic instability and Central Java is one of the regions in Indonesia most affected by the phenomenon. Therefore, this study aims to determine the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the financial performance of Islamic Rural Banks in Central Java using a descriptive quantitative approach. Based on purposive sampling, 23 Islamic Rural Banks in Central Java were selected as the research sample. The results of this study show that the Islamic Rural Bank in Central Java had very healthy capital and liquidity and this was determined by the quality of assets owned by the bank. However, it was observed that the profitability state of OER was not healthy while that of ROA was quite healthy. This proves that the Covid-19 pandemic caused a significant decrease in the various bank's ability to generate profits. To successfully face the potential risk of losing during events such as the Covid-19 pandemic, adequate capital is needed in the bank's reserve.The Islamic Rural Banks are more careful in terms of asset management to maintain the bank's healthy condition, therefore, they store adequate funds in their reserves to help them combat problems similar problems like this one. The practical implication of this research is that it will be useful for banking management, policy makers and users of banking services. Lastly, this research provides information that can be used by regulators in formulating appropriate policies to minimize the adverse effects of Covid-19.

Published: March 2023

A cachaça e aguardente de cana-de-açúcar são bebidas comercializada no Brasil e obtidas pela destilação simples do mosto fermentado do caldo de cana-de-açúcar, sendo a cachaça típica e exclusiva do Brasil, com graduação alcoólica entre 38 e 48% v/v a 20 °C. Contudo, outras fontes vegetais podem ser utilizadas para produzir aguardente, como as frutas, que devem apresentar alto teor de sacarose. Assim, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo produzir aguardente de abacaxi infusionadas com pedaços de dois tipos de madeira (carvalho e bálsamo) a fim de verificar a sua qualidade, além de analisar as cachaças artesanais vendidas no sul do estado do Tocantins, quanto aos parâmetros físico-químicos. As aguardentes de abacaxi, obtidas por destilação, apresentaram os valores dos parâmetros físico-químicos dentro do valor estabelecido pela legislação, o que indica que o processo de fabricação gerou um produto com composição segura para ser consumidor e que a adição de lascas de madeiras não interferiu negativamente nos parâmetros analisados. Em relação às amostras comerciais, a cachaça com murici (CM) apresentou o teor alcoólico, concentração de aldeído, acidez volátil e metanol fora do estabelecido pela legislação, pondo em risco a saúde do consumidor. Assim, nota-se a importância da fiscalização das bebidas produzidas sem o selo de inspeção do Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA), e que é necessário fazer a conscientização da população para o não consumo de bebidas sem inspeção.

Published: March 2023

Background:
Racial and ethnic care disparities persist within orthopaedics in the United States. This study aimed to deepen our understanding of which sociodemographic factors most impact patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) score variation and may explain racial and ethnic disparities in PROM scores.

Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed baseline PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) Global-Physical (PGP) and PROMIS Global-Mental (PGM) scores of 23,171 foot and ankle patients who completed the instrument from 2016 to 2021. A series of regression models was used to evaluate scores by race and ethnicity after adjusting in a stepwise fashion for household income, education level, primary language, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), sex, and age. Full models were utilized to compare independent effects of predictors.

Results:
For the PGP and PGM, adjusting for income, education level, and CCI reduced racial disparity by 61% and 54%, respectively, and adjusting for education level, language, and income reduced ethnic disparity by 67% and 65%, respectively. Full models revealed that an education level of high school or less and a severe CCI had the largest negative effects on scores.

Conclusions:
Education level, primary language, income, and CCI explained the majority (but not all) of the racial and ethnic disparities in our cohort. Among the explored factors, education level and CCI were predominant drivers of PROM score variation.

Level of Evidence:
Prognostic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Authors: Elera Morales César C. , Castro Ruiz Carmen T. 
Published: March 2023

Objetivo: Comparar la precisión diagnóstica de la radiografía digital directa (RDD) y la tomografía computarizada de haz cónico (TCHC) en la detección de defectos óseos periimplantarios. Materiales y métodos: Los implantes se colocaron en 5 costillas bovinas frescas (3 sin defectos óseos periimplantarios, 12 con defectos óseos periimplantarios de 1.4mm) y se tomaron imágenes usando (i) sistema de rayos x portátil (Dexcowin 3000), (ii) sensor intraoral de rayos x (Sensor H1/ Sensor H2), (iii) TCHC de volumen limitado con 3D Accuitomo 80 (Castellini). Las imágenes de cada uno se presentaron aleatoriamente a 10 examinadores. La confianza en el diagnóstico de la presencia o ausencia de una radiotransparencia periimplantaria se registró en una escala de defecto óseo: definitivamente ausente, dudas sobre el defecto si está ausente o presente, defecto definitivamente presente. Se realizó el análisis inter e intraexaminador mediante una prueba de kappa. Resultados: Se ha obtenido una coincidencia de un 83,3% entre la radiografía digital directa y la tomografía computarizada de haz cónico en la pieza A, de un 100% en la pieza B y de un 88% en la pieza C, lo que da un total promedio de coincidencia del 90.43%. Conclusión: La radiografía digital directa brinda un mismo resultado que una tomografía computarizada de haz cónico en la detección de defectos óseos periimplantares en una fase inicial. Las radiografías digitales son un método fiable y válido y funcionan significativamente mejor que la tomografía computarizada de haz cónico para detectar defectos óseos periimplantarios en una fase inicial.
Autonomous Directional Drilling Achieved With Industry 4.0 Platform
Authors: Carpenter Chris 
Published: March 2023

_
This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 204607, “Autonomous Directional-Drilling Planning and Execution Using an Industry 4.0 Platform,” by Samba Ba, SPE, Maja Ignova, and Kate Mantle, Schlumberger, et al. The paper has not been peer reviewed.

_
In the complete paper, the authors present an autonomous-directional-drilling (ADD) framework using an Industry 4.0 platform built on intelligent planning and execution capabilities and supported by surface and downhole automation technologies to achieve consistent directional-drilling operations accessible for remote operations. This ADD framework minimizes operational risk and cost per foot drilled; maximizes performance and procedural adherence; and establishes consistent results across fields, rigs, and trajectories.

Anatomy of ADD
The authors write that they identified a need for technology to support all aspects of the drilling process, not just what happens at the wellsite or the bottomhole assembly (BHA). That meant focusing on intelligent planning and intelligent execution capabilities, along with surface automation that would complement the suite of downhole automation features of the steering tools. Fig. 1 highlights what the authors term the four pillars of ADD.
To connect these pillars, an integrated data architecture is crucial. In the planning phase, all associated digital data are passed to the intelligent execution pillar to drive both surface and downhole automation. Once the execution phase is complete, the same data pipelines are leveraged to close a feedback loop that would drive further refinements of machine-learning (ML) models in the intelligent planning phase to start the cycle over again. Technology blocks within the pillars will evolve naturally as part of an agile development process. The intelligent execution is at the center of the system because it interacts with each component and manages information-sharing between them.

Pillars of ADD
Intelligent Planning. In the planning stage, an understanding of BHA steering performance is key. It is important to have a model that will predict BHA directional tendency accurately. Traditionally, physics models were used to quantify the response and qualify the trajectory plan. While physics models can provide very accurate tendency predictions with the help of historical operations data, the prediction accuracy can be improved. This is called a hybrid ML strategy, which combines historical data with the physics model, taking advantage of ML capabilities and synergies with domain knowledge.
The Industry 4.0 platform enables the implementation of this hybrid model directly inside the new well-construction-planning portion of the platform. The engineering design will be validated automatically by comparing predicted tool-steering performance with the trajectory plan, with no human intervention required. With this model, the BHA, trajectory, and operating parameters can be optimized for application and delivered digitally for wellsite execution.
