Published: February 2023

During the last years, the use of information and communication technologies in higher education for teaching and learning has been continuously increasing in universities from all over the world. The main benefits of e-learning consist in anytime, anywhere access to educational materials, flexibility in the pace of learning, high interactivity, and assessment at a time that best suits student progress. On the other hand, the traditional face-to-face learning assures social interaction between all participants (teacher and students) that makes learning more effective for many students. In blended instruction, e-learning applications are used to support the traditional face-to-face learning, combining in this way the benefits of both methods of instruction. By incorporating information technology into face-to-face classroom instruction, the blended learning gives better student outcomes than traditional classes. This paper presents some e-learning interactive tools designed for teaching the principles of opening, cleaning and blending in the blow room line to the 3rd year students in the “Technology and Design of Textile Products” specialization at the Faculty of Textiles, Leather and Industrial Management from the “Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iasi, Romania. The interactive tools provided to students include schematic drawings of machinery from Ingolstadt blow room line existing in the “Processes and machinery in the cotton spinning mill” laboratory, animations, videos and assessment tests. For schematic drawings, the Corel DRAW software has been used, while the interactive animations have been created using Corel R.A.V.E. The evaluation tests have been created using Hot Potatoes software.

Published: February 2023

We live in an era characterized by an informational explosion, of an accelerated and revolutionary technical progress, and it is, therefore highly important to ask questions, to evaluate risks, to change methodologies, concepts and to create new learning situation, making use of the creative potential of our students. We need to rethink how we communicate while teaching, we should emphasise a collaborative process where different pieces of opinion and perspectives are taken into consideration. Teaching and learning by means of information and communication technologies as well as new educational software in the domain of mathematics or engineering (solutions offered by software in e-learning require a complex teaching-learning system via laptops, smart phones, tablets, e-learning platforms, internet) support a collaborative process, and promote skills of paramount importance in the context of 21st century. Today, learning means knowing to search and deal with recent information, to exchange ideas on specialized forums, on e-learning platforms in order to actively contribute to the improvement of the already existing educational data. This can sometimes be done via especially designed questionnaires. Learning and teaching should nowadays rely on modern technologies. This is one of the subjects to be tackled in this article. Students should have access on e-learning platforms using individual account, while teachers should be aware of how these technologies work. The on-line environment should be continuously updated and improved so that those participants attending a course would feel motivated. What I more, the article deals in both a theoretical and experimental way with an important subject in electromagnetism, the permanent magnets. Starting off from knowledge known in the specialized literature and practice, what we propose is a tutorial to model permanent magnets, using FEMM. 4.2. software.
THE TACTICALPAD SOFTWARE USED IN THE TRAINING OF A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM HAS A DECISIVE CONTRIBUTION IN OBTAINING PERFORMANCE
Authors: Panait Ciprian 
Published: February 2023

This work is aimed to determine the efficiency of the use of TacticalPad software in the preparation of a professional team. Study of the literature revealed a number of technical means, which offer a wide range of options to the coaches, in order to objectify and direct the preparation process. The practical experience in performance football has allowed me to identify the software mentioned above, as distinct means, which stands out from the multitude of technical solutions already existing, by the option that allows the user to create football-specific exercises in the form of 2D and 3D graphics and what is even more important, to present the means created in motion, this option being the one that exceeds the technical limitations of most existing software.
The study involved the implementation of TacticalPad in the performance strategy of a professional premier league club in Oman, being used during the preparation period, the pre-competitive period and the beginning of the competition period. The above mentioned software has been used 4 times in the preparation process structured on 6 or 7 days microcycles, as follows:
1.	creating the means of training in 2D, 3D format and presenting in motion these means, before the start of the training, in the standard, usual presentation of the program;
2.	tactical analysis of specific training moments;
3.	scouting;
4.	tactical analysis of training and official games;
The results obtained and the quality of the game of the team to which we implemented TacticalPad, can be a starting point in the continuous development of football performance, advocating for the use of this application in training and competitions, based on the considerations mentioned at length in this paper.
Hate Trumps Love: The Impact of Political Polarization on Social Preferences
Authors: Dimant Eugen 
Published: February 2023

Exhibiting altruism toward and cooperativeness with others is a key ingredient for successful work relationships and managerial decision making. Rising political polarization creates a hazard because it ruptures this fabric and impedes the interaction of employees, especially across political isles. This paper’s focus is to examine various behavioral-, belief-, and norm-based layers of (non)strategic decision making that are plausibly affected by polarization. I quantify this phenomenon via five preregistered studies in the context of Donald J. Trump, comprising 15 well-powered behavioral experiments and a diverse set of over 8,600 participants. To capture the pervasiveness of polarization, I contrast the findings with various political and nonpolitical identities. Overall, I consistently document strong heterogeneous effects: ingroup-love occurs in the perceptional domain (how close one feels toward others), whereas outgroup-hate occurs in the behavioral domain (how one helps/harms/cooperates with others). The rich setting also enables me to examine the mechanisms of observed intergroup conflict, which can be attributed to one’s grim expectations regarding cooperativeness of the opposing faction, rather than one’s actual unwillingness to cooperate. For the first time, the paper also tests whether popular behavioral interventions (defaults and norm-nudges) can reduce the detrimental impact of polarization in the contexts studied here. The tested interventions improve prosociality but are ineffective in closing the polarization gap. This paper was accepted by Yan Chen, behavioral economics and decision analysis.

Authors: Gibson Emma , Deo Sarang , Jónasson Jónas Oddur , Kachule Mphatso , Palamountain Kara 
Published: February 2023

Problem definition: Healthcare systems in resource-limited settings rely on diagnostic networks in which medical samples (e.g., blood, sputum) and results need to be transported between geographically dispersed healthcare facilities and centralized laboratories. Academic/practical relevance: Existing sample transportation (ST) systems typically operate fixed schedules, which do not account for demand variability and lead to unnecessary transportation visits as well as delays. Methodology: We design an optimized sample transportation (OST) system that comprises two components: (i) a new approach for timely collection of information on transportation demand (samples and results) using low-cost technology based on feature phones, and (ii) an optimization-based solution approach to the problem of routing and scheduling courier trips in a multistage transportation system. Results: Our solution approach performs well in a range of numerical experiments. Furthermore, we implement OST in collaboration with Riders For Health, who operate the national ST system in Malawi. Based on analysis of field data describing over 20,000 samples and results transported during July–October 2019, we show that the implementation of OST routes reduced average ST delays in three districts of Malawi by approximately 25%. In addition, the proportion of unnecessary trips by ST couriers decreased by 55%. Managerial implications: Our approach for improving ST operations is feasible and effective in Malawi and can be applied to other resource-limited settings, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. History: This paper has been accepted as part of the 2021 Manufacturing & Service Operations Management Practice-Based Research Competition.

Batch Process Operational Effects on Phosphorus Attainment in Hydrochar Produced by Hydrothermal Carbonization of Dairy Manure
Authors: He B. Brian 
Published: February 2023

HighlightsTemperature ramp-up from 180°C to the pre-set processing temperature significantly affects total phosphorus attainment rate.The transition time of temperature ramp-up is crucial in assessing the change of TP attainment rate.Temperature cooling does not show significant effect on total phosphorus attainment rate.Abstract. As an alternative technology for phosphorus cycling, hydrochar produced from animal manure is a great vehicle to attain phosphorus from dairy manure and apply it back to cropland in an environmentally friendly manner. Hydrochar production by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) greatly reduces the time to manage animal manure compared to traditional lagoon systems. Before being established as a practical technology for hydrochar production in continuous-flow operations, HTC in batch mode is the best way to systematically investigate and optimize the process conditions for high efficiencies. This study investigates specifically the effect of temperature ramp-up rates on the attainment of total phosphorus (TP) in hydrochar produced from dairy manure through batch-mode HTC operations. Experimental results revealed that the transition in temperature ramp-up greatly affected the TP attainment rate in hydrochar, depending on the pre-set processing temperatures and holding time. Statistical analysis confirms that such an effect is significant if the holding time is 30 min or less. This is due not only to the higher processing temperatures but also to the extra 5 to 15 minutes of processing time required for the ramp-up to the pre-set temperatures of 195°C to 255°C, at which point biomass decomposition has already occurred. It is concluded that the temperature ramp-up in batch HTC processes significantly affect the TP attainment rate in hydrochar produced from dairy manure. Before developing continuous-flow HTC systems, it is recommended that experimental results from batch operations be carefully interpreted.

Integrated thermo-optic micro-ring resonator in Z-cut lithium niobate thin film with isolation trenches
Authors: Lin Hong-Lin , Gao Yuan , Chen Guanyu , Danner Aaron J. 
Published: February 2023

We propose and demonstrate a thermally tuned micro-ring resonator in a Z-cut lithium niobate on insulator platform. The ring cavity is heated by a thermal electrode placed above the waveguide. In addition, to improve the thermal insulation, we introduce trenches around the heating area. An excellent extinction ratio of 25 dB and a Q-factor of 12,000 are measured from the micro-ring resonator. The improvement associated with the trench structure is about 1.5-fold compared with the structure without trenches. The proposed isolation structure can be widely introduced to thermo-optic devices, significantly reducing fabrication difficulty.
Exploring impaired self-awareness of motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease: Resting-state fMRI correlates and the connection to mindfulness
Authors: Buchwitz Timo Marcel , Ruppert-Junck Marina Christine , Greuel Andrea , Maier Franziska , Thieken Franziska , Jakobs Viktoria , Eggers Carsten 
Published: February 2023

Objective
To further explore the phenomenon of impaired self-awareness of motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s Disease by using an evaluated measurement approach applied in previous studies, while also examining its connection with dispositional mindfulness and possible correlates of functional connectivity.

Background
Recently, the phenomenon of impaired self-awareness has been studied more intensively by applying different measurement and imaging methods. Existing literature also points towards a possible connection with mindfulness, which has not been examined in a cross-sectional study. There is no data available concerning correlates of functional connectivity.

Methods
Non-demented patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease without severe depression were tested for impaired self-awareness for motor symptoms following a psychometrically evaluated approach. Mindfulness was measured by applying the German version of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire. A subset of eligible patients underwent functional MRI scanning. Spearman correlation analyses were performed to examine clinical data. Whole-brain voxelwise regressions between seed-based connectivity and behavioral measures were calculated to identify functional connectivity correlates of impaired self-awareness scores.

Results
A total of 41 patients with Parkinson’s Disease were included. 15 patients successfully underwent resting-state fMRI scanning. Up to 88% of patients showed signs of impaired self-awareness. Awareness for hypokinetic movements correlated with total mindfulness values and three facets, while awareness for dyskinetic movements did not. Three significant clusters between scores of impaired self-awareness in general and for dyskinetic movements were identified linking behavioral measures with the functional connectivity of the inferior frontal gyrus, the right insular cortex, the supplementary motor area, and the precentral gyrus among others. Impaired self-awareness for hypokinetic movements did not have any neural correlate.

Conclusions
Clinical data is comparable with results from previous studies applying the same structured approach to measure impaired self-awareness in Parkinson’s Disease. Functional connectivity analyses were conducted for the first time to evaluate neural correlates thereof. This data does not support a connection between impaired self-awareness of motor symptoms and dispositional mindfulness.

Background and purpose
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage occurs in approximately 30,000 patients annually in the United States. Uncontrolled blood pressure is a major risk factor for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Clinical guidelines recommend maintaining blood pressure control until definitive aneurysm securement occurs. It is unknown whether racial differences exist regarding blood pressure control and outcomes (HLOS, discharge disposition) in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Here, we aim to assess whether racial differences exist in 1) presentation, 2) clinical course, and 3) outcomes, including time to blood pressure stabilization, for aSAH patients at a large tertiary care medical center.

Methods
We conducted a retrospective review of adult aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage cases from 2013 to 2019 at a single large tertiary medical center. Data extracted from the medical record included sex, age, race, insurance status, aneurysm location, aneurysm treatment, initial systolic and diastolic blood pressure, Hunt Hess grade, modified Fisher score, time to blood pressure control (defined as time in minutes from first blood pressure measurement to the first of three consecutive systolic blood pressure measurements under 140mmHg), hospital length of stay, and final discharge disposition.

Results
194 patients met inclusion criteria; 140 (72%) White and 54 (28%) Black. While White patients were more likely than Black patients to be privately insured (62.1% versus 33.3%, p < 0.001), Black patients were more likely than White patients to have Medicaid (55.6% versus 15.0%, p < 0.001). Compared to White patients, Black patients presented with a higher median systolic (165 mmHg versus 148 mmHg, p = 0.004) and diastolic (93 mmHg versus 84 mmHg, p = 0.02) blood pressure. Black patients had a longer median time to blood pressure control than White patients (200 minutes versus 90 minutes, p = 0.001). Black patients had a shorter median hospital length of stay than White patients (15 days versus 18 days, p < 0.031). There was a small but statistically significant difference in modified Fisher score between black and white patients (3.48 versus 3.17, p = 0.04).There were no significant racial differences present in sex, Hunt Hess grade, discharge disposition, complications, or need for further interventions.

Conclusion
Black race was associated with higher blood pressure at presentation, longer time to blood pressure control, but shorter hospital length of stay. No racial differences were present in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage associated complications or interventions.
