Abstract

Background
Data on risk factors associated with mechanical ventilation (MV) weaning failure among SARS-CoV2 ARDS patients is limited. We aimed to determine clinical characteristics associated with weaning outcome in SARS-CoV2 ARDS patients under MV.

Objectives
To determine potential risk factors for weaning outcome in patients with SARS-CoV2 ARDS.

Methods
A retrospective observational study was conducted in the ICUs of four Greek hospitals via review of the electronic medical record for the period 2020–2021. All consecutive adult patients were screened and were included if they fulfilled the following criteria: a) age equal or above 18 years, b) need for MV for more than 48 hours and c) diagnosis of ARDS due to SARS-CoV2 pneumonia or primary or secondary ARDS of other aetiologies. Patient demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded for the first 28 days following ICU admission. The primary outcome was weaning success defined as spontaneous ventilation for more than 48 hours.

Results
A hundred and fifty eight patients were included; 96 SARS-CoV2 ARDS patients. SOFA score, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and shock were independently associated with the weaning outcome OR(95% CI), 0.86 (0.73–0.99), 0.27 (0.08–0.89) and 0.30 (0.14–0.61), respectively]. When we analysed data from SARS-CoV2 ARDS patients separately, COPD [0.18 (0.03–0.96)] and shock [0.33(0.12 – 0.86)] were independently associated with the weaning outcome.

Conclusions
The presence of COPD and shock are potential risk factors for adverse weaning outcome in SARS-CoV2 ARDS patients.
Influence of boulder array on the near-bed turbulent flow characteristics in a gravel bed stream - An experimental investigation
Authors: Datta Akash , Das Ratul , Majumder Mrinmoy 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The present study aims to focus the turbulent flow characteristics over arrays of submerged boulders in a gravel bed stream. Round shaped boulders of diameter, Dc
= 6 cm were staggered over a gravel bed stream (d
50 = 4 cm) with varying boulder-to-boulder spacing and the flows over the arrays were studied experimentally. The flow measurements were carried out by an acoustic Doppler velocimeter and the double averaging methodology (DAM) was applied. The results of large spacing boulder array reveals near-bed velocity deficit within 1Dc
upstream to 5Dc
downstream of the boulder and no influence on the approaching velocity was observed after 5Dc
corroborating the recovery of boundary layer. In case of medium and small spacing boulder array, the velocity deficit is significant at all locations. The shear stress distributions depict development of high and low bed shear stresses causing redistributions of the local bed shear stress. The higher magnitude of shear stress is observed at the boulder crest whereas; the secondary peak near the gravel bed crest is attributed to the skin shear stress on the individual boulder. Moreover, the present research contributes to our understanding that the boulder array on a rough bed stream leads to higher turbulent intensity at the boulder crest level.
Simplified dispersion analysis based on dye tests at a small stream
Authors: Říha Jaromír , Julínek Tomáš , Kotaška Stanislav 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The modelling of solid transport in open channels requires good knowledge about parameters related to basic processes such as hydrodynamic dispersion, advection and decay rates. Such parameters are usually determined by dye tests. Numerous tracer studies have been performed on laboratory flumes and natural rivers. However, on-site sampling is often difficult, expensive and needs special apparatus. The main aim of the study was to justify simplified method based on the monitoring of the dye cloud shape in order to determine both longitudinal and transversal dispersion coefficients. In this study, four dye tests were carried out on a small local stream (the Lipkovsky) using Rhodamine WT fluorescein dye as a tracer. The tests were carried out in such a manner that both longitudinal and horizontal transversal dispersion data were obtained. For this purpose, the visually determined extent of the dye cloud was interpreted via the analytical solution of the advection-dispersion equation. The results obtained by this simplified approach indicated that the longitudinal dispersion coefficient Dx
= 0.051–0.057 m2/s and the coefficient of horizontal transversal dispersion Dy
= 0.00024–0.00027 m2/s. The method was justified by corresponding root mean square error (RMSE) counting RMSE = 0.65–1.02 m for the dye cloud centre, RMSE = 1.87–2.46 m for the head and tail of the cloud and RMSE = 0.025–0.11 m for the cloud width, the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficients ranged from 0.9 to 0.998. The comparison of these values with empirical formulae and other tracer studies indicated significant overestimation of the mentioned values of Dx
, which can be attributed to the uniform velocity distribution along the width of Lipkovsky Stream. Much better agreement was achieved for Dy
.
A Swan Lake: Exploring the Materiality of Water in Alexander Ekman’s Ballet
Authors: Ibarra Martina Cayul 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This article analyses Ekman’s ballet A Swan Lake from the perspective of new materialism, which is understood as the agency of the non-human, particularly the role of water in the creation of movement and in the script of the ballet. The question guiding this article concerns how the materiality of water takes place in Ekman’s ballet. I propose that by paying attention to the corporeality of dance itself as a discursive practice (Barad 2003), it is possible to appreciate the creation of a kind of language or code that can be interpreted. Following Barad, a discursive practice not only is language or what is said but allows certain things to be said. Here, both the bodies of the dancers and the water allow things to be said. In other words, encounters of the materiality of the human, that is, the bodies of the dancers with the non-human agency of the water, provoke new ways of moving and therefore form part of the choreographic composition, thus co-creating the ballet itself.
Passing On—The Power of Oral Transmission
Authors: Öberg Anna , Ruth Charlotta 
Published: August 2023

Abstract

Living Documents is a series of looped live installations developed between 2017 and 2019 based on five artist-choreographers and how they work. The project was initiated by Dominik Grünbühel and Charlotta Ruth as an artistic response to the following research question: What is liveness and what can it be? The research was directed towards the necessity—but also difficulty—of documenting live performances. This text reflects how the method of passing on (in Swedish, tradera) through the collaborative process with choreographer Anna Öberg, whose practice is based in Swedish folk dance, has come to influence the documentary approach. By resonating how passing on in the cosmology of Folk Traditions is different to other methods of physical and oral transfer, Öberg together with Ruth develop how passing on can be valuable beyond the realm of Folk Tradition.
Specifically, they unfold the ways in which this multi-sensorial transfer of material and knowledge from person to person and context to context can inspire documentary and reflexive translations between media and different aesthetic realms and thereby contribute to creative ways of sharing knowledge in the field of artistic research.
Active Current Sensor Fault-Tolerant Control of Induction Motor Drive with Online Neural Network-Based Rotor and Stator Resistance Estimation
Authors: Adamczyk Michal , Orlowska-Kowalska Teresa 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This article presents an active current sensor (CS) fault-tolerant control (FTC) strategy for induction motor (IM) drive with adaptation of rotor and stator resistances. The stator current estimator with online adaptation of resistance parameters was applied for the reconstruction of missing current signals. A model reference adaptive system (MRAS), based on a neural network (NN), was used to estimate the rotor resistance. Additionally, stator resistance estimation was applied based on ratio index. The use of such a solution allowed for a significant increase in the quality of stator current reconstruction, which is particularly important for the design of CS fault detection (FD) and compensation algorithms. A wide range of simulation studies have been carried out for different operating conditions of the IM drive. The results showed that applying rotor and stator resistance estimation can improve the quality of stator current estimation by up to approximately 95% under rated operating point. The study was carried out for nominal and low speeds, with two, one, and without healthy CS.
Approximation of Discrete Measures by Finite Point Sets
Authors: Weiss Christian 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
For a probability measure μ on [0, 1] without discrete component, the best possible order of approximation by a finite point set in terms of the star-discrepancy is &inline as has been proven relatively recently. However, if μ contains a discrete component no non-trivial lower bound holds in general because it is straightforward to construct examples without any approximation error in this case. This might explain, why the approximation of discrete measures on [0, 1] by finite point sets has so far not been completely covered in the existing literature. In this note, we close the gap by giving a complete description for discrete measures. Most importantly, we prove that for any discrete measures (not supported on one point only) the best possible order of approximation is for infinitely many N bounded from below by &inline for some constant 6 ≥ c> 2 which depends on the measure. This implies, that for a finitely supported discrete measure on [0, 1]d the known possible order of approximation &inline is indeed the optimal one.

Hybrid rice is derived from a cross between the cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) as the female parent and the restorer line as the male parent. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of several new plant type (NPT) rice lines as restorers of the CMS female parent and to elucidate the performance of the hybrid combinations. The research was carried out from December 2019 to November 2020 at Babakan Sawah Baru Experimental Station, Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, IPB University, Bogor, Indonesia. The hybrids were evaluated in the field together with the CMS female parent, male parents, and two check varieties, namely Ciherang and hybrid P05 Prima Seed. The experimental design used was a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with two replications. The results showed that two male parental lines, IPB189-F-10-3-2 (T6) and IPB189-14-1-1 (T9), had a hybrid seed yield per hill of 66.04 g and 75.27 g, respectively. These two parents have the restorer gene (R) which is substantiated by the good characteristics of the number of filled grains and total grain per panicle of the two hybrids. The potential hybrids CMS x IPB189-F-10-3-2 and CMS x IPB189-14-1-1 had a positive heterosis for panicle length and 1,000 grain weight, and could be evaluated in future research.

ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF MEASURES FOR THE PROTECTION OF MINORS IN THE EVENT OF A THREAT TO THEIR LIFE AND HEALTH IN FAMILY RELATIONS
Authors: Aseeva Kristina , Timoshina Elena 
Published: August 2023

The article touches upon the existing problem of legal regulation of the protection of minors in the event of a threat to their life and health in family and domestic relations. The article considers the practice of illegal removal of children from parents as a result of the application by the guardianship and guardianship authorities of Article 77 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation, which regu-lates the removal of a child from his parents (one of them) or from other persons in whose care he is with a direct threat to his life or health.
As a way to solve these problems, it is proposed to amend the current legislation, providing for the introduction of the institution of "temporary measures to protect the child", which ensures the prompt solution of the problem of protecting a minor who is without supervision and assistance in a situation that threatens his life.
Commercial bank credit risk management

Published: August 2023

In the main activities currently carried out by commercial banks, a significant place is given to the system of tools that is created and operates to manage credit risks. The importance of this system increases in the context of the development of the financial crisis, as well as in the fierce competition that arises between banks with a decrease in the profitability of their main activities. Among other things, credit risks themselves are the cause of a large number of various problems that impede the development and receipt of sufficient profits for credit institutions.
This article is devoted to various issues that, to one degree or another, relate to the credit risk management of commercial banks. The article analyzes the main reasons for the growth of risks, reveals the models by which credit risk can be assessed, and defines the goals pursued in the effective management of credit risks.
