W pierwszej części opisano prace badawcze podejmowane w Instytucie Nafty i Gazu – Państwowym Instytucie Badawczym w związku ze stopniowym odchodzeniem rozwiniętych gospodarek światowych od paliw kopalnych. Przedstawiono prace dotyczące zagospodarowania biogazu rolniczego oraz jego mieszanek z wysokometanowym gazem ziemnym i LPG na potrzeby zasilania urządzeń gazowych do użytku domowego oraz przemysłowych urządzeń gazowych. Opisano również trwające badania nad wykorzystaniem wodoru jako medium umożliwiającego zagospodarowanie i magazynowanie nadwyżek energii elektrycznej z odnawialnych źródeł energii (ang. power to gas, P2G). Prace te skupiają się na bezpieczeństwie użytkowania mieszanin wodoru z wysokometanowym gazem ziemnym, a także na wpływie domieszek wodoru na wszystkie elementy systemu przesyłowego. Przedstawiono także prace dla sektora transportu opisujące wykorzystanie bioetanolu jako dodatku do benzyn lub oleju napędowego. Pozwala to na zmniejszenie zużycia stosowanych paliw konwencjonalnych również w transporcie. Zaprezentowano też analizy, na podstawie których stwierdzono możliwość wykorzystania alkoholu etylowego jako paliwa opałowego do urządzeń grzewczych. W celu potwierdzenia wyników tych analiz przeprowadzono badania kotła centralnego ogrzewania wyposażonego w olejowy palnik nadmuchowy. Kocioł c.o. przebadano w cyklu badawczym, podczas którego temperatura wody zasilającej instalację c.o. wynosi 80°C, a temperatura wody wracającej do kotła – 60°C. W takich warunkach pracy urządzenia zmierzono parametry energetyczne kotła, tj. sprawność i obciążenie cieplne, oraz zmierzono ilość produkowanego kondensatu. Badania przeprowadzono, używając do zasilania kotła lekkiego oleju opałowego oraz alkoholu etylowego technicznego 96-procentowego. Na tej podstawie wyciągnięto następujące wnioski: obciążenie cieplne osiągane przez układ grzewczy uległo zmniejszeniu pomimo regulacji dostępnych parametrów urządzenia (ciśnienie na palniku oraz ilość powietrza do spalania); sprawność urządzenia nie uległa pogorszeniu; zawartość substancji niepożądanych w spalinach uległa obniżeniu; ilość produkowanego kondensatu w palniku zasilanym alkoholem etylowym uległa zwiększeniu względem tego samego palnika pracującego na oleju opałowym. W końcowej części usystematyzowano i przedstawiono wnioski z przeprowadzonych badań.

Retrospective analysis provides access to long-term growth series to understand and interpret the structural functioning of tree crowns required for their sustainable management. The aim of this study was to assess the development and adaptation of crown shoots in Khaya senegalensis and Pterocarpus erinaceus to a changing environment in preparation for establishing permanent plots. The growth units (GUs) morphology of the axes of 420 young, adult, and old individuals was analyzed in full sunlight or shade during the rainy and dry season in seven locations in Côte d'Ivoire. The results showed that growth unit morphology is an indicator of the choice of growth conditions. Heterogeneous habitat had no significant effect on growth unit morphology (P > 0.05) in either species. The morphology of the growth units varied from one location (climate) to another due to distinct environmental characteristics (P < 0.05). The southern part of the gradient (Toumodi and Bouaké in the central region of the country) offers favourable and hence priority areas for reforestation programmes based on the two species. The age of the individuals influenced the number of phytomers per growth unit (P < 0.05). Young individuals (cuttings) are good ideotypes for the selection of suitable resistant genotypes. Whatever the species, the rainy season increased the success rate of plot establishment. The growth units of the two species are practically the same size (P > 0.05). Our results could be a decision guide for the selection of suitable environments for the implementation of reforestation or agroforestry programs based on Khaya senegalensis and Pterocarpus erinaceus, in order to conserve and sustainably manage these species in the current climate change context.

Published: February 2023

Background:
Benign bone cysts in children have a high risk of recurrence after bone grafting. The optimal treatment and filling material for these lesions are currently unknown.

Methods:
We compared cyst recurrence after intralesional curettage and filling with allograft versus bioactive glass (BG-S53P4; Bonalive) in a randomized clinical trial. The volume of recurrent cyst at 2-year follow-up was the primary outcome.

Results:
Of 64 eligible children, 51 (mean age, 11.1 years) were randomized to undergo filling of the cyst using morselized allograft (26) or bioactive glass (25). Twelve (46%) of the children in the allograft group and 10 (40%) in the bioactive glass group developed a recurrence (odds ratio [OR] for bioactive glass = 0.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.25 to 2.56, p = 0.77). The size of the recurrent cyst did not differ between the allograft group (mean, 3.3 mL; range, 0 to 13.2 mL) and the bioactive glass group (mean, 2.2 mL; range, 0 to 16.6 mL, p = 0.43). After adjusting for the type of lesion (aneurysmal bone cyst versus other), bioactive glass also did not prevent larger (>1 mL) recurrent cysts (adjusted OR = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.13 to 1.40, p = 0.16). The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score improved significantly (p ≤ 0.013) from preoperatively to the 2-year follow-up in both groups (to 28.7 for bioactive glass and 29.1 for bone graft). Four (15%) of the children in the allograft group and 6 (24%) in the bioactive glass group required a reoperation during the follow-up (OR for bioactive glass = 1.74, 95% CI = 0.43 to 7.09, p = 0.50).

Conclusions:
Filling with bioactive glass and with allograft in the treatment of benign bone lesions provided comparable results in terms of recurrence and complications.

Authors: Toler Krista O’Shaughnessey , Paranjape Pearl Ravindra , McLaren Alex , Levine Brett , Ong Alvin , Deirmengian Carl 
Published: February 2023

Background:
Antigen immunoassays to detect synovial fluid (SF) microorganisms have recently been made available for clinical use. The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of an SF microorganism antigen immunoassay detection (MID) panel, evaluate the panel’s capability to detect microorganisms in the setting of culture-negative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), and determine diagnostic predictive values of the MID panel for PJI.

Methods:
This study included 67,441 SF samples obtained from a hip or knee arthroplasty, from 2,365 institutions across the United States, submitted to 1 laboratory for diagnostic testing. All data were prospectively compiled and then were analyzed retrospectively. Preoperative SF data were used to classify each specimen by the International Consensus Meeting (2018 ICM) definition of PJI: 49,991 were not infected, 5,071 were inconclusive, and 12,379 were infected. The MID panel, including immunoassay tests to detect Staphylococcus, Candida, and Enterococcus, was evaluated to determine its diagnostic performance.

Results:
The MID panel demonstrated a sensitivity of 94.2% for infected samples that yielded positive cultures for target microorganisms (Staphylococcus, Candida, or Enterococcus). Among infected samples yielding positive cultures for their respective microorganism, individual immunoassay test sensitivity was 93.0% for Staphylococcus, 92.3% for Candida, and 97.2% for Enterococcus. The specificity of the MID panel for samples that were not infected was 98.4%, yielding a false-positive rate of 1.6%. The MID panel detected microorganisms among 49.3% of SF culture-negative infected samples. For PJI as a diagnosis, the positive predictive value of the MID panel was 91.7% and the negative predictive value was 93.8%. Among MID-positive PJIs, 16.2% yielded a discordant cultured organism instead of that detected by the antigen test.

Conclusions:
SF microorganism antigen testing provides a timely adjunct method to detect microorganisms in the preoperative SF aspirate, yielding a low false-positive rate and enabling the detection of a microorganism in nearly one-half of SF culture-negative PJIs.

Equity-Driven Implementation of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Musculoskeletal Care
Authors: Stern Brocha Z. , Franklin Patricia D. , Shapiro Lauren M. , Chaudhary Saad B. , Kamal Robin N. , Poeran Jashvant 
Published: February 2023

Abstract:
The clinical use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in musculoskeletal care is expanding, encompassing both individual patient management and population-level applications. However, without thoughtful implementation, we risk introducing or exacerbating disparities in care processes or outcomes. We outline examples of opportunities, challenges, and priorities throughout PROM implementation to equitably advance value-based care at both the patient and population level. Balancing standardization with tailored strategies can enable the large-scale implementation of PROMs while optimizing care processes and outcomes for all patients.

Published: February 2023

Background:
Our objective was to develop a clinical practice guideline (CPG) for the treatment of acute lower extremity fractures in persons with a chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).

Methods:
Information from a previous systematic review that addressed lower extremity fracture care in persons with an SCI as well as information from interviews of physical and occupational therapists, searches of the literature, and expert opinion were used to develop this CPG. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) system was used to determine the quality of evidence and the strength of the recommendations. An overall GRADE quality rating was applied to the evidence.

Conclusions:
Individuals with a chronic SCI who sustain an acute lower extremity fracture should be provided with education regarding the risks and benefits of operative and nonoperative management, and shared decision-making for acute fracture management should be used. Nonoperative management historically has been the default preference; however, with the advent of greater patient independence, improved surgical techniques, and advanced therapeutics and rehabilitation, increased use of surgical management should be considered. Physical therapists, kinesiotherapists, and/or occupational therapists should assess equipment needs, skills training, and caregiver assistance due to changes in mobility resulting from a lower extremity fracture. Therapists should be involved in fracture management as soon as possible following fracture identification. Pressure injuries, compartment syndrome, heterotopic ossification, nonunion, malunion, thromboembolism, pain, and autonomic dysreflexia are fracture-related complications that clinicians caring for patients who have an SCI and a lower extremity fracture may encounter. Strategies for their treatment are discussed. The underlying goal is to return the patient as closely as possible to their pre-fracture functional level with operative or nonoperative management.

Authors: Tsukada Sachiyuki , Wakui Motohiro , Kurosaka Kenji , Saito Masayoshi , Nishino Masahiro , Hirasawa Naoyuki 
Published: February 2023

Background:
This study was performed to examine the hypothesis that the rate of allogeneic blood transfusion in patients who did not predeposit an autologous blood transfusion before single-anesthetic bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) would be noninferior to that in patients who did predeposit blood.

Methods:
We assessed the number of allogeneic transfusions required in 338 patients undergoing single-anesthetic bilateral TKA with a preoperative hemoglobin level of ≥11.0 g/dL. All TKAs were performed by a single surgeon according to the same operative and postoperative protocol. All patients received a combination of intravenous and intra-articular tranexamic acid. Neither a pneumonic tourniquet nor a drain was used. The difference in the risk of allogeneic transfusion between patients without and with autologous blood predeposit was compared with a noninferiority margin of 10 percentage points.

Results:
Allogeneic transfusion was required in 1 (0.5%) of 194 patients who predeposited autologous blood and 3 (2.1%) of 144 patients who did not predeposit blood. The difference in risk was −1.6 percentage points (95% confidence interval, −4.1 to 1.0 percentage points); the confidence interval did not include the noninferiority margin and included zero.

Conclusions:
In single-anesthetic bilateral TKA, allogeneic transfusion requirements in patients who did not predeposit autologous blood were noninferior to those in patients who predeposited blood.

A perfect couple: A visual opsin from the box jellyfish binds Gαs to form a stable protein complex with unparalleled temporal control of Gβγ signalling
Authors: Wyk Michiel van , Kleinlogel Sonja 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Phototransduction is mediated by distinct types of G-protein cascades in different animal taxa: bilateral invertebrates typically utilize the Gαq pathway whereas vertebrates typically utilize the Gαt(i/o) pathway. By contrast, photoreceptors in jellyfish (Cnidaria) utilize the Gαs intracellular pathway, similar to olfactory transduction in mammals1. How this habitually slow pathway has adapted to support dynamic vision in jellyfish remains unknown. Here we study a light-sensing protein (rhodopsin) from the box jellyfish Carybdea rastonii and uncover a novel mechanism that dramatically speeds up phototransduction. Unlike other G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), this rhodopsin constitutively binds a single downstream Gαs partner to enable G-protein activation and inactivation within tens of milliseconds. This is the first time an uninterrupted G-protein coupled receptor/G-protein complex is described. We use this unique GPCR in a viral gene therapy to restore light responses in blind mice using the previously unforeseen Gαs signalling pathway.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Background: Entrepreneurship is a skill to start a business and an activity usually associated with new opportunities and ideas. The success of entrepreneurs depends on sharing skills and knowledge of the appropriate use of available resources. Spiritual intelligence is a term that is described as a person's capacity and ability of competence, knowledge, and skill to face his personality, to have meaning, worthwhile goals, and desire for life. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the literature that examines the relationship between the concept of spiritual intelligence and entrepreneurship .
Methods: The current study is a systematic review of the English literature within the last 10 years. We began the main process using the PRISMA 2020 guideline. To evaluate the quality of each article, we used MMAT.
Results: In the study, there were 9 studies included which all were evaluated by the MMAT, and the appraisal qualities were found to be High. The results of the current systematic review are divided into two sections; the first section comprises the predictors, the second embodies the outcomes and the third section represents the instruments.
Conclusion: In the current review of literature, after examining the most coherent literature in the area, it is found that the effects of spiritual intelligence on entrepreneurship may be influenced by many factors (environment, education, socioeconomic, experience, personality, religion). Although there is strong evidence that predicts SI to have direct effects on entrepreneurship, the research gap still needs attention in future studies.
A model based on MEREC-CRADIS objective decision-making methods and the application of double normalization: A case study of the selection of electric cars
Authors: Puška Adis , Božanić Darko , Mastilo Zoran , Pamučar Dragan 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Climate changes and the number of people in the world are increasingly affecting the environment. In order to reduce this impact, there are more and more alternatives to cars with internal combustion. Currently, the most used alternative is electric cars. This research aimed to rank electric cars according to their characteristics. It was selected 13 criteria according to which 20 alternatives were ranked. For this purpose, it was used two methods, MEREC (Method based on the Removal Effects of Criteria) used to determine criterion weights objectively and CRADIS (Compromise Ranking of Alternatives from Distance to Ideal Solution) method used to rank alternatives. These methods were modified so that double normalization was used. Unlike similar approaches, the same normalization has been used here, but in two ways, which represents an innovative approach in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM). The results of this approach have shown that the best-ranked alternative is A6 (Sono Sion), while the worst-ranked alternative is A2 (Smart EQ forfour). These results were confirmed with a comparative analysis of the results obtained using other MCDM methods and sensitivity analysis. The conducted research has shown that the application of double normalization contributes to stability in decision-making. In addition, this decision-making provides support to potential buyers for choosing electric cars.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
The characterization of any compound is important in the field of chemistry. As the field of cannabinoid chemistry grows so does the need for the characterization of new cannabinoids or rare cannabinoids that gain popularity within the consumer and research fields. Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) a hydrogenated analogue of ∆9-THC, also found in trace amounts naturally within the cannabis sativa plant, has been gaining attention and popularity within the cannabis industry. Hexahydrocannabidiol (H4CBD) is a synthetic hydrogenated analogue to Cannabidiol (CBD). Identifying the Diastereomers of the cannabinoids with instrumentation plays a huge role within the chemistry field adding valuable information of the structure and the parameters for others to identify such cannabinoids. Elucidation and characterization of HHC and H4CBD was performed using current analytical techniques such as 1D and 2D NMR, HPLC, and GC-MS, effectively characterizing both the Diastereomers of HHC and H4CBD.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Background

Patients with breast cancer undergo various treatments according to their tumor subtype and cancer stages within 1 year after being diagnosed. Each treatment may cause treatment-related symptoms that have negative impacts on patients’ health and quality of life (QoL) The symptoms can be mitigated when exercise interventions are appropriately applied to patients’ physical and mental conditions. Although many exercise programs were developed and implemented during this period, the effects of tailored exercise programs according to symptoms and cancer trajectories on patients’ long-term health outcomes have not yet been fully elucidated. Therefore, this randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to investigate the effect of tailored home-based exercise programs on short-term and long-term physiological outcomes in patients with breast cancer.

Methods

This 12-month RCT includes 96 patients with (stages 1–3) breast cancer randomly assigned to the exercise or control groups. Participants in the exercise group will receive an exercise program tailored to their phase of treatment, type of surgery, and physical function. During post-operative recovery, exercise interventions will be emphasized to improve shoulder range of motion (ROM) and strength. During chemoradiation therapy, exercise intervention will focus on improving physical function and preventing loss of muscle mass. Once chemoradiation therapy is completed, exercise intervention will focus on improving cardiopulmonary fitness and insulin resistance. All interventions will be home-based exercise programs supplemented with once-monthly exercise education and counseling sessions. The main outcome of the study is fasting insulin level at baseline, 6 months, and 1 year post-intervention. Our secondary outcomes include shoulder ROM and strength at 1 month and 3 months, body composition, inflammatory markers, microbiome, QoL, and physical activity levels at 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year post-intervention.

Conclusions

This trial is the first tailored home-based exercise oncology trial to better understand the comprehensive phase-dependent short- and long-term effects of exercise on shoulder function, body composition, fasting insulin, biomarkers, and microbiome. The results of this study will inform the development of effective exercise programs tailored to the needs of patients with breast cancer post-operatively.
