AbstractThe condenser is a piece of equipment used to effectively transfer heat from water to the environment. The fin and tube condenser is the most commonly used in commercial applications. The improved performance of heat transfer in the fin and tube condenser is a significant area of study all over the world because optimizing the efficiency of heat transfer in the condenser will contribute to enhancing the effectiveness of system performance. The vapor deposition, plasma spray, and thermal spray techniques are being used, and it is determined that a heat transfer enhancing coating improves condenser performance. This review discusses the nanomaterial coating over the fin and tube condenser in detail. The various nanomaterial coatings with various propositions and coating methods had been discussed with the evidence of previous researchers. At a 50‐degree inclination angle on the condensate plate, the condensate over the coating surface increases by more than 30%. The thermal properties of the working fluid are improved over the condenser, and the overall effectiveness of the condenser is increased by approximately 40% over the non‐coated condenser. A 1% volumetric concentration of Nanoparticles in the coated material achieves a maximum efficiency increase of 78.7%.

AbstractBackgroundNasal packs are central to nasal surgeries. Primarily, these packs function by controlling bleeding, modulating pain and reducing adhesions postsurgery. However, the major setback of the currently used conventional nasal packs is the unbearable pain the patient undergoes upon removal of these packs. To overcome this shortcoming a variety of biodegradable packs have emerged. This study was aimed at evaluating the safety, efficacy and tolerability of VELNEZ nasal packs. VELNEZ, a patented Datt Mediproducts Pvt. Ltd. nasal pack, is one of its kind biodegradable composite that fragments within a few days of application.MethodsEighty patients were included in an open label, interventional, single arm clinical study using clinical endpoints to investigate the safety and efficacy of nasal pack VELNEZ. The patients were questioned using a visual analog scale from discharge day to 28th postoperative day (9 follow‐up visits) at regular intervals. The standardized questionnaires for hemorrhage control, relief from postoperative pain, moderate obstruction, and pain were used.ResultsA total of 76 patients were enrolled in the study and 74 patients completed the study. VELNEZ nasal pack played a significant role in controlling hemorrhage and reducing postoperative pain. The average hemorrhage control time was 7.49 ± 3.90 min with only 34.24% of population complaining of pain on the sixth day of surgery (follow‐up 4). Forteen days postsurgery only 10.95% of subject population complained of postoperative pain. This biodegradable composite has an average fragmentation time of 4.7 days in the nasal cavity. In addition, this study did not observe any postoperative adverse events or serious adverse events.ConclusionVELNEZ, a fragmentable nasal pack, is comfortable, safe, and effective against postsurgery bleeding and pain.
Street Voids: Analyzing Street-Level Walkability Based on 3D Morphology and Remotely Accessible Urban Data
Authors: Ensari Elif , Beirão José , Özkar Mine 
Published: July 2023

AbstractUrban planning and design approaches that aim to leverage walking as a sustainable means of transportation require a thorough understanding of the built environment. Information regarding density, diversity, accessibility, and attractiveness of streets is critical to assess walkability, yet it is also resource-intensive to acquire through traditional methods. We present a computational analysis method that captures and aggregates information on walkability indicators encapsulated in the 3d morphology, street-view imagery, and POI data of streets, using a 3d component called the Street Void [1]. This component builds on the Convex and Solid-Void models [2] which are 3d representations of open-urban spaces informed by the interrelationships between topography, surrounding buildings and other immediate physical boundaries, and facilitates the quantitative evaluation of walkability attributes. The method is unique in that it allows for the walkability evaluation of urban open spaces in the micro level, with a semi-automated algorithm and utilizing remotely accessible urban data. We present the implementation of this analysis on four neighborhoods of Istanbul and Lisbon, demonstrating insight drawn from its quantitative output. The research interconnects knowledge in the domains of computational design, behavioral psychology, urban management, and planning; with the contribution of a novel quantitative analysis of streets to inform urban decision-making processes.

Familiale Belastungsfaktoren für die emotionale Entwicklung junger Kinder
Authors: Walper Sabine , Ulrich Susanne M. , Kindler Heinz 
Published: July 2023

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Belastende Kindheitserfahrungen (Adverse Childhood Experiences – ACE) sind Risikofaktoren für die körperliche und psychische Gesundheit, deren Folgen bis ins Erwachsenenalter reichen können. Basierend auf Befunden zu den Effekten ausgewählter ACE sowie deren Kumulation wird hier untersucht, welche Effekte unterschiedliche familiale Belastungslagen auf die Ausprägung negativer Emotionalität von Kindern im Säuglings- und Kleinkindalter haben.

Methoden
Datenbasis ist die repräsentative Elternbefragung „Kinder in Deutschland 0–3 – KiD 0–3“ (N = 5583) mit Folgebefragung einer Teilstichprobe nach 2 Jahren (n = 681). Anhand von 14 Belastungsfaktoren werden unbelastete, sozioökonomisch belastete, elternstressbelastete und mehrfach belastete Familien unterschieden.

Ergebnisse
Kinder in mehrfach belasteten Familien haben das höchste Risiko hoher negativer Emotionalität (im Vergleich zu unbelasteten Familien: Odds Ratios [OR] zwischen 13,00 und 6,81), unter Kontrolle demografischer Merkmale, kindbezogener Belastungsfaktoren (z. B. exzessives Schreien) und Kindheitsbelastungen der Bezugsperson. Auch in elternstressbelasteten Familien ist das Risiko negativer Emotionalität der Kinder signifikant erhöht (OR zwischen 8,31 und 6,95), während Kinder aus primär sozioökonomisch belasteten Familien (ohne Konflikte und Elternstress) keine erhöhte negative Emotionalität aufwiesen. Längsschnittanalysen der wiederbefragten Teilstichprobe zeigen, dass Veränderungen der Anzahl von Belastungsfaktoren mit Veränderungen kindlicher negativer Emotionalität einhergehen.

Diskussion
Die Befunde zu ACE aus der internationalen Forschung bestätigen sich damit für den deutschsprachigen Raum und speziell für die frühe Kindheit. Dies unterstreicht die Bedeutung eines gut ausgebauten Systems Früher Hilfen.

AbstractOver the last years, there has been an increasing number of proposals for the use of nanomaterials in medicine. The safety of novel technologies must be verified, prior to their clinical application. Pathology has much to contribute towards this end. In this study, we compared the in vivo toxicity effects of poly- (lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles with and without chitosan shell. Both nanoparticle types were loaded with curcumin. The nanoparticles were assessed in vitro for potential cytotoxicity with cell viability studies. For the in vivo test, 36 adult Wistar rats were used, four of which were the control group. The remaining 32 were divided into 2 groups, each of which was administered differentially coated drug carriers: (A) nanoparticles without chitosan coating and (B) nanoparticles with chitosan coating. For both groups, the subcutaneous route was used for administration. Each group was further divided into 2 sub-groups of 8 animals each. The animals of the first sub-groups were sacrificed 24 h after the injection and those of the second on the 7th day. The control group was also divided into 2 subgroups of 2 animals each. At the appointed post-administrative date, the rats were sacrificed, and specimens from the brain, liver, kidneys, heart, stomach, lungs, and from the skin at the injection site were collected and studied histopathologically. The evaluation of both in vitro and in vivo testing shows that nanoparticles with chitosan have significantly less, if any, toxic effects compared to those without chitosan.

AbstractLaryngeal mask airway (LMA) may be considered by health caregivers of level I–II hospitals for neonatal resuscitation and stabilization before and during interhospital care, but literature provides little information on this aspect. This study reviewed the use of LMA during stabilization and transport in a large series of neonates. This is a retrospective study evaluating the use of LMA in infants who underwent emergency transport by the Eastern Veneto Neonatal Emergency Transport Service between January 2003 and December 2021. All data were obtained from transport registry, transport forms, and hospital charts. In total, 64/3252 transferred neonates (2%) received positive pressure ventilation with an LMA, with increasing trend over time (p = 0.001). Most of these neonates were transferred after birth (97%), due to a respiratory or neurologic disease (95%). LMA was used before the transport (n = 60), during the transport (n = 1), or both (n = 3). No device-related adverse effects were recorded. Sixty-one neonates (95%) survived and were discharged/transferred from the receiving center. Conclusion: In a large series of transferred neonates, LMA use during stabilization and transport was rare but increasing over time, and showed some heterogeneity among referring centers. In our series, LMA was safe and lifesaving in “cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate” situations. Future prospective, multicenter research may provide detailed insights on LMA use in neonates needing postnatal transport.

What is Known:

• A supraglottic airway device may be used as an alternative to face mask and endotracheal tube during neonatal resuscitation.

• The laryngeal mask may be considered by health caregivers of low-level hospitals with limited exposure on airway management, but literature provides little information on this aspect.

What is New:

• In a large series of transferred neonates, laryngeal mask use was rare but increasing over time, and showed some heterogeneity among referring centers.

• The laryngeal mask was safe and lifesaving in “cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate” situations.
Dichromacy in the brown marmorated stink bug? Spectral sensitivity of the compound eyes and phototaxis of Halyomorpha halys

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) is an invasive pest insect species, which was recently introduced from Asia to America and then to Europe. Besides causing serious damage in agriculture, this species also represents a source of intense annoyance for humans in residential areas, because large amounts of individuals can aggregate on buildings while seeking shelter before overwintering. Taking into account the need for pesticide-free pest management methods, for example light trapping, we measured the spectral sensitivity of the compound eyes of H. halys with electroretinography (ERG). In behavioural experiments, we also quantified the attraction of H. halys to 14 quasi-monochromatic light stimuli in the 368–743 nm spectral range. The dark-adapted compound eyes were mostly sensitive to the green range, but a minor sensitivity peak in the UV region was also identified. Recordings on chromatic-adapted eye preparations unequivocally revealed the presence of only a green- and a UV-sensitive photoreceptor type, with sensitivity maxima at 519 nm and 367 nm, respectively. No sign of any blue-sensitive receptor was detected, and thus only a receptor set allowing dichromatic vision was found. Based on the results of the behavioural experiments, we established that the attraction of H. halys to light is increasing with decreasing wavelength, and thus we emphasize the importance of short wavelength lights (368–455 nm) when phototactic attraction of H. halys is the aim.
Enhancing Role Integrity for Peer Workers

Published: July 2023

AbstractAlthough informal peer support has been a central feature of recovery for people with substance use disorder (SUD), more recently there has been a stark increase in formal models of peer support. In the infancy of formalized peer support, researchers warned of potential threats to the integrity of the peer support role. Now, almost two decades into the rapid expansion of peer support, research has yet to evaluate the extent to which peer support is being implemented with fidelity and role integrity. The present study aimed to assess peer workers’ perceptions of peer role integrity. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 21 peer workers in Central Kentucky. Results suggest that the role of peers is not well understood by onboarding organizations, and thus, the integrity of peer support is diluted. Findings from this study suggest room for improvement in the training, supervision, and implementation of peer support.

AbstractHuman-elephant conflict (HEC) in Sri Lanka has escalated over the recent years, with, on average, 300 elephant deaths annually and human casualties of around 90 per year. Employing field-based qualitative methods, this contribution identifies causes and contexts of human-elephant conflict in those parts of the Sri Lankan dry zone most severely affected. We have used field observations as well as semi-structured interviews with experts and affected villagers as primary data collection techniques. The findings show that (a) human-elephant conflicts are the result of land-use decisions, encroachment on elephant corridors, changes in agricultural production systems, and commercialization of land, and that (b) there is a deep division between the environmental knowledge and practices of rural people and the conservation governance provided by government authorities. Furthermore, both traditional and modern mitigation approaches fail to reign in HEC effectively. The insufficient implementation of HEC mitigation measures, and a severe disconnect between the needs and anxieties of rural people and conservation policies, render the management of human-wildlife interactions ineffective. This suggests a need for fundamental reform of elephant conservation policy in Sri Lanka.

Published: July 2023

AbstractMindfulness-informed school-based mental health curricula show much promise in cultivating a positive school climate which supports the well-being and mental health of pupils and staff. However, non-positive pupil outcomes and experiences of school-based mental health interventions are often under-recognised and under-reported. This study sought to capture non-positive pupil experiences of a popular mindfulness-informed curriculum. Some pupils across all schools in the study described non-positive experiences, including having troubling thoughts and emotions, and not finding the programme effective. Contexts surrounding these experiences are explored and linked to existing literature, and subsequent recommendations for improvements are made, including the importance of having clear programme structure, definitions and aims, acknowledging and accommodating fidelity issues as best as possible, and better highlighting the potential for non-positive experiences and how they may be reduced.
Evaluation of land use/land cover effect on streamflow: a case of Robigumero watershed, Abay Basin, Ethiopia
Authors: Temtime Getnet Solomon , Eshete Asalf Shumete 
Published: July 2023

AbstractLand use land cover change has an impact on hydrology of the watershed on the Robigumero watershed. The study mainly focused on estimating land use change and stream flow under different land use land cover changes of the Robigumero watershed. Land use land cove maps of 1996, 2006 and 2016 were collected from Ethiopian water irrigation and energy office. The soil and water assessment tool model (SWAT) was used to simulate LULC effects on the streamflow of Robigumero Watershed. The SWAT model performance was evaluated through sensitivity analysis, calibration, and validation. During the study period the land use land cover has changed due to growth in population of the study area. The Agricultural land increased by 22.4% and while grass land & forestland decreased by 17.5 and 5.3% Respectively in the year between 1996 to 2016. The findings of the stream flow simulation were used to assess the seasonal variability in stream flow caused by changes in land use and land cover. Both the calibration and validation result shows very good agreement between observed and simulated stream flow with NSE values of 0.81 and R2 values of 0.83 for calibration and NSE Values of 0.86 and R2 values of 0.87 for validation. The result of this study indicated that mean monthly stream flow were increased by 44.1m3/s for wet season and decreased by 2.3m3/s in dry season over 21 years’ period. In general redaction of agricultural land and increment of forest land on the degraded land reduce stream flow which shows the reduction of soil erosion. Therefore, this study results can be used to encourage different users and policymakers for planning and management of water resources in the Robigumero watershed as well as in other regions of Ethiopia.

AbstractThis study aimed to assess the knowledge, perception, influencing factors as well as suggested strategies to reduce academic dishonesty among healthcare students.A cross-sectional design that employed a self-administered online questionnaire was used to collect data among healthcare students in Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used in selecting the respondents. Knowledge was categorised into poor (< 50% of total score), fair (50–69% of total score) and good (≥ 70% of total score) while perception was classified as positive (≥ 50% of total score) and negative (< 50% of total score). Association between student demographics, and perception of academic dishonesty was analysed using Chi-Square and Fisher Exact tests. Differences in knowledge between demographics was analysed using independent sample T-test and One way Analysis of variance.Three hundred thirty-five students were enrolled in this study of which 83.3% were female and the mean age of the respondents was 19.33 years. 29.8% and 94.9% of the students showed good knowledge and positive perception of academic dishonesty respectively. There was a significant difference in knowledge based on students’ level of study (p < 0.001) and departments (p < 0.001). Fear of failure (77.0%), social stigma and peer pressure (37.0%) were commonly identified reasons for academic dishonesty among students while strict punishment (18.3%) and proper invigilation (16.2%) were the most suggested strategies (n = 178) to control academic dishonesty among students.Poor to fair knowledge and positive perception towards academic dishonesty was shown by majority of the students. Educational intervention in form of training and proper implementation of suggested strategies is warranted to improve knowledge, reduce misconceptions and ultimately reduce academic dishonest behaviours among students.
Securing Local Effects in Globalization through Multi-level Governance: Evidence from Steering the New Silk Road
Authors: Thees Hannes , Erschbamer Greta 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe New Silk Road (NSR), in combination with global challenges on climate action, trade wars, and the COVID-19 Pandemic, requests a new understanding of the “local” in more sustainable globalization. Being far more than an infrastructure initiative, China takes a leading role in future globalization. However, the NSR faces an implementation gap in sustainably generating local effects. In this line, experts call to implement joint governance, leading to the research question: how can multi-level governance assist in securing local effects along with the countries of the NSR? Building upon theories on governance and regionalism across spatial scales, this article introduces the results of a qualitative content analysis on international expert interviews. The analysis reveals the potentials and challenges of the NSR for local effects but also includes suggestions for transnational cooperation and governance, which finally leads to defining the role of supranational institutions and the necessity of local support in terms of a governance design.
