Published: August 2023

<p><strong><em> </em></strong>Increased concern for the environment has led to the search for more environment-friendly energy sources so that wind energy can be used as an endless option for human consumption. Wind turbines offer a promising solution for off-grid areas. However, they have certain drawbacks associated with different configurations. Darrieus turbine is one type that can be more efficient than other types. The poor start-up performance of Darrieus turbines is one of the critical problems restricting its development. Another problem of this kind of wind turbine is tackled by identifying the optimization parameters, such as complex flow dynamics around the system. The present article reviews modeling vertical axis turbines methods and discusses the turbine’s operation by presenting the results of these methods. In this review, the authors have attempted to compile the main aerodynamic models that have been used for performance prediction and design of straight-bladed Darrieus-type VAWT. The main object of this study is to research the advantages and disadvantages of wind turbine modeling methods, and the selection of these methods depends on the purpose of the modeling.<strong><em></em></strong></p>

Impact of COVID-19 Vaccine on Hearing Status of Young Ages (Medical College Students as a Sample)
Authors: Hamid Mazin Kamil 
Published: August 2023

Many studies dealt with the consequences of SARS CoV-2 (which cause COVID-19 infection) on the nervous system especially sensory nerves where the virus causes loss of taste and smell as it’s known, and may affect auditory nerves and be the expected cause of some hearing problems. A case-control analytic study was performed on a connivance sample of society of university students from a medical faculty. Each participant filled out a questionnaire contains demographic data and general, auditory and respiratory health condition, in addition to vaccination status. In the other side, the audio- examinations were performed on the study sample including Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) and tympanometry. Two statistical methods; chi-square and t-test were used to interpret the correlation. It is noticeable that there is no clear link between the thresholds and the vaccination status. This is contrary to some studies that found that the vaccine may have a very slight influence on hearing thresholds. This can be explained by the fact that is the small (significant) p values ​​in both methods was spread in a various and random manner, and it can be said that there is a possible effect, but it is not clear nor regular. A more comprehensive studies are required to establish this relationship between the hearing threshold and the COVID-19 vaccine.

Abstract

Precise optical mode matching is of critical importance in experiments using squeezed-vacuum states. Automatic spatial-mode matching schemes have the potential to reduce losses and improve loss stability. However, in quantum-enhanced coupled-cavity experiments, such as gravitational-wave detectors, one must also ensure that the sub-cavities are also mode matched. We propose a new mode sensing scheme, which works for simple and coupled cavities. The scheme requires no moving parts, nor tuning of Gouy phases. Instead a diagnostic field tuned to the HG20/LG10 mode frequency is used. The error signals are derived to be proportional to the difference in waist position, and difference in Rayleigh ranges, between the sub-cavity eigenmodes. The two error signals are separable by 90 degrees of demodulation phase. We demonstrate reasonable error signals for a simplified Einstein Telescope optical design. This work will facilitate routine use of extremely high levels of squeezing in current and future gravitational-wave detectors.

Abstract

High transmissible viruses including SARS-CoV-2 frequently accumulate novel mutations that are detected via high-throughput sequencing. However, there is a need to develop an alternative rapid and non-expensive approach. Here we developed a novel multiplex DNA detection method Intelli-OVI for analysing existing and novel mutations of SARS-CoV-2. Intelli-OVI uses the micro-disc-based method IntelliPlex and computational algorithms of objective variant identification (OVI). IntelliPlex uses micro-discs printed with a unique pictorial pattern as a labelling conjugate for DNA probes, and OVI allows simultaneous identification of several variants using multidimensional data obtained by the IntelliPlex method. Importantly, de novo mutations can be identified by decreased signals, which prompts the need to design additional primers and probes. Thus, Intelli-OVI can be upgraded to keep up with rapidly evolving viruses. We believe that Intelli-OVI will be useful in establishing a world better equipped to tackle emerging novel pathogens.

Abstract

Background: The implementation of intervention programs in Emergency Departments (EDs) is often fraught with complications due to the inherent complexity of the environment. Hence, the exploration and identification of barriers and facilitators prior to an implementation is imperative to formulate context-specific strategies to ensure the tenability of the intervention.
Objectives: In assessing the context of four EDs prior to the implementation of SurgeCon, a quality improvement program for ED efficiency and patient satisfaction, this study identifies and explores the barriers and facilitators to successful implementation from the perspective of the providers, patients, researchers, and decision makers involved in the implementation.
Settings: Two rural and two urban Canadian EDs with 24/7 on-site physician support.
Methods: Data were collected prior to the implementation of SurgeCon, by means of qualitative and quantitative methods consisting of semi-structured interviews with 33 healthcare providers (e.g., physicians, nurses, and managers), patient-reported experience and satisfaction telephone interviews with 341 patients, and structured observations from four EDs. Interpretive description approach was utilized to analyze the data gathered from interviews, open-ended questions of the survey, and structured observations.
Results: A set of five facilitator-barrier pairs were extracted. These key facilitator-barrier pairs were: (1) management and leadership, (2) available resources, (3) communications and network across organization, (4) previous intervention experiences, and (5) need for change.
Conclusion: Knowledge of the barriers and facilitators in the implementation of the quality improvement program was found to be a vital precursor to its successful implementation. Given the dynamic and complex nature of ED environments, such an approach, prior to an implementation, may prove useful for other such interventions.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Egypt has witnessed a revolution in all fields and the establishment of giant projects, which require the selection of the appropriate contractor for their implementation. The major factor for evaluating contractors is the tenders price of the project. The lowest price is not always a guarantee of the quality or time of a building project. Recently, there has been a shift away from the “lowest-price-wins” concept and a subjective judgment towards multi-criteria decision-making of selecting the project's contractors aiming to help owners in making decisions. The manuscript presents a multi-criteria decision-making strategy to optimize the selection of contractors for construction projects. the calculation of this strategy is divided into two phases. The first phase is designed to identify contractor prequalification criteria and utilize the AHP approach based on current Egyptian practice to calculate their weight. The second phase provides two techniques: (1) technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) and (2) vlsekriterijumska optimization I kompromisno resenje (VIKOR) to optimize the selection of the available contractors for construction projects. A real-life case study improvement and refurbishment project is examined to demonstrate the value and highlight capabilities.

Abstract
Background
Loss to follow-up (LTFU) in individuals undergoing cervical cancer treatment is a major challenge in many low resource settings. Mhealth interventions via text messaging have potential to improve health outcomes in such settings. We describe development of a customized and tailored user-centered mHealth intervention for reducing LTFU among patients undergoing cervical cancer treatment at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH).
Methods
We interviewed all health care providers (HCPs) at the cervical cancer clinic of MRRH, and owned a phone for at least one year between April and May 2023 to understand challenges/facilitators of LTFU, identify and develop an appropriate mHealth intervention that can re-engage patients in care. Transcripts were subsequently derived, reviewed and coded to generate themes and categories using inductive content analytic approach. Four medical experts used this data to develop relevant SMS content, which was incorporated into an app designed through partnership with Ucatch Technologies Limited, a local application development company in South Western Uganda.
Results
Interviewed HCPs had owned a phone for 13.8 ≤ years, had worked at the clinic for 5 ≤ years, and used text messages regularly. Qualitative data revealed that the main challenge to re-engagement was absence a reminder mechanism between HCPs and patients. HCPs preferred text and or audio mode of messaging to improve health care responsiveness to LTFUs, awareness, continuity of care, and health service uptake among the majority illiterate population; though with potential constraints of costs and workload. HCPs identified key messaging content to include; the importance of attending scheduled follow-ups, follow up visit date and clinic customization and tailoring the message to the intended recipient. Developed SMS content considering themes was uploaded onto the cc-follow-up app platform and customized according to preferred language, day, frequency and time of delivery.
Conclusion
Tailoring an mHealth messaging intervention could be an important strategy to re-engage and reduce LTFU through improved information sharing, awareness, responsiveness, care engagement and medical compliance. Our app additionally supports improved clinical and behavioural data collection for low resource settings. More work is required to evaluate our intervention’s feasibility and acceptability among individuals undergoing cervical cancer treatment in South Western Uganda.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background
Studies have revealed that inflammatory response is relevant to the tetralogy of fallot (TOF). However, there are no studies to systematically explore the role of the inflammation related genes (IRGs) in diagnosis of TOF.
Materials and methods
TOF-related datasets (GSE36761 and GSE35776) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between TOF and control groups were identified in GSE36761. And DEGs between TOF and control groups were intersected with IRGs to obtain differentially expressed IRGs (DE-IRGs). Afterwards, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and random forest (RF) were utilized to identify the biomarkers. Next, immune analysis was carried out. The TF-mRNA, lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA, and miRNA-SNP-mRNA networks were created. Finally, the potential drugs targeting the biomarkers were predicted.
Results
There were 971 DEGs between TOF and control groups, and 29 DE-IRGs were gained through the intersection between DEGs and IRGs. Next, a total of five biomarkers (MARCO, CXCL6, F3, SLC7A2, and SLC7A1) were acquired via two machine learning algorithms. Infiltrating abundance of 18 immune cells was significantly different between TOF and control groups, such as activated B cells, neutrophil, CD56dim natural killer cells, etc. The TF-mRNA network contained 4 mRNAs, 31 TFs, and 33 edges, for instance, ELF1-CXCL6, CBX8-SLC7A2, ZNF423-SLC7A1, ZNF71-F3. The lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was created, containing 4 mRNAs, 4 miRNAs, and 228 lncRNAs. Afterwards, nine SNP locations were identified in the miRNA-SNP-mRNA network. A total of 21 drugs were predicted, such as ornithine, lysine, arginine, etc..
Conclusion
Our findings detected five inflammation related biomarkers (MARCO, CXCL6, F3, SLC7A2, and SLC7A1) for TOF, providing a scientific reference for further studies of TOF.
Numerical Evaluation of the Directed Oil Cooling System of a Mobile Power Transformer

Published: August 2023

Abstract

Power transformers represent an important part of the capital investment in transmission and distribution substations. The cooling of the windings (electrical coil) depends on the convection of heat, enhanced by the forced circulation of oil through the windings and heat exchangers. The forced circulation of oil combined with the forced circulation of air in the heat exchangers is usually found in mobile transformers, whose compact structure is a challenge in terms of heat transfer rates. An improper design or fabrication problem associated with the assembling of the cooling system may result in an inefficient exchange of heat, which may lead to transformer failure from overheating or a reduction of the life span. In this context, the present work proposes a 2D mathematical model to simulate the winding cooling system of a 138x69-34x13.8 kV 25 MVA Mobile Power Transformer with the objective of investigating the causes of overheating. The model is implemented in CFD Ansys-Fluent® version 17.0 and validated with experimental data. It is evaluated the velocity and temperature distribution, and the identification of the hot spots on the transformer operating considering the nominal conditions for oil flow rate, inlet temperature, and power dissipated. The hot spot temperatures are compared with the current Brazilian Association of Technical Standards - NBR 5356-2: 2007 Power Transformers Part 2: Heating, 2007. After, some geometric and/or operational constraints are artificially imposed to the transformer. Their impact on the velocity and temperature fields, as well as the hot spot temperatures, are mapped in order to verify if they still respect the standard´s temperature limits and if imposed constraints may lead to the transformer failure. The numerical results demonstrated that the geometric imperfections of the disks, guides, or axial cooling ducts dimensions directly affect the oil flow and the temperature distributions, as well modify the position and greatly increase the temperature of the hottest spot in the winding, even extrapolating the ABNT NBR 5356:2 standard in some situations. This way, the proposed mathematical model can be used as a consistent tool for understanding the thermal behavior and, to investigate and map the occurrence of failures in mobile transformers.

Abstract
Background
Conditions related to iodine status (IS) in pregnancy should be addressed to help public health strategies. In the present study, we evaluated diet quality (DQ) and its relationship with IS in pregnant women from a coastal Brazilian state where table salt is iodine fortified.
Methods
In a cross-sectional study, 199 women were evaluated on three different days of their first trimester of pregnancy. In every visit, a urinary spot sample was requested to assess urinary iodine concentration (UIC); and a 24-hour dietary recall related to the time that they collected the urine was also applied by a nutritionist. Total and component scores were estimated for the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015). The association between DQ and IS was evaluated, considering adequate UIC as the reference group (RG).
Results
The median total score for HEI-2015 was 45.8 points, being higher in the insufficient UIC than in RG (48.1 vs. 41.3 in the RG; p = 0.04). Insufficiency of iodine was related to higher scores in “whole fruit” (B = 0.712 [CI: +0.421/+1.002]), “total fruit” (B = 0.744[-0.002/+0.006]), “total vegetables” (B = 0.678([+ 0.444/+0.913]) and “refined grains” (B = 0.685 [+ 0.406/+0.964]). On opposite, excessive IS was related to lower scores in the same components.
Conclusions
pregnant women with insufficient IS had better diet quality, with higher consumption of fruits and vegetables, as also lower intake of refined grains. In contrast, poor DQ was associated with excessive UIC during pregnancy. The necessity of iodine supplementation for pregnant women should be better explored even in a region adopting iodine fortified table salt as public health policy.

Abstract

Background Osteoporosis is a very common bone disease in older people. Malnutrition can lead to osteoporosis. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a tool used to assess nutritional status and is an important predictor of many diseases. Therefore, this study investigated the association between the GNRI and the presence of osteoporosis and assessed the value of this index for predicting osteoporosis in patients with fragility fractures. Methods A total of 1172 inpatients with fragility fractures from January 2017 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. This included 806 cases in the osteoporosis group and 366 cases in the non-osteoporosis group. The patients' general and laboratory data were collected, along with their bone mineral density (BMD) measurements. GNRI was calculated based on ideal body weight and serum albumin levels. Correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between GNRI and BMD and bone metabolism markers. Descriptive analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed for osteoporosis characteristics and its risk factors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was developed to predict the cut-off value. Results Univariate analysis showed significant differences between the osteoporosis group and the non-osteoporosis group in sex, age, height, weight, BMI, history of diabetes and gastrointestinal diseases, hemoglobin concentration, albumin concentration, prealbumin concentration, GNRI, blood glucose concentration, osteocalcin, β-isomerized C-terminal telopeptides (β-CTX), procollagen of type I N-propeptide (PINP), BMD and T-score. Spearman's correlation analysis showed that GNRI was positively associated with BMD and T-score at all bone sites (r = 0.272–0.397, P < 0.05). GNRI was negatively associated with procollagen of type I N-propeptide (r=-0.14, P = 0.025). Further logistic regression showed that sex, age, BMI, GNRI, albumin and diabetes were independent risk factors for osteoporosis. According to the results of the receiver operating characteristic curve, the predictive accuracy of osteoporosis was high, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.644, sensitivity of 52.4%, specificity of 71.3% and threshold value of 97.31. Conclusion Gender, age, BMI, GNRI, albumin and diabetes were independent risk factors. GNRI was positively correlated with BMD and inversely correlated with osteoporosis in patients with fragility fractures. In addition, the incidence of osteoporosis increased when GNRI was less than 97.31.
