Abstract. The increasing popularity of environments equipped with sensors for convenience and with safety features, as in, for example, smart homes, greenhouses, or the interior of modern cars, demands a variety of sensor systems. In this respect, the sensing of ambient gases in the sense of air quality monitoring or leakage detection is one of the prominent applications. However, even though there are many different systems already available, the trend goes towards smaller and rather inconspicuous sensors which are embedded in the environment. We present the fabrication and characterization of integrated waveguides, which constitute an interesting platform for absorption spectroscopy in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) using the evanescent field of guided modes interacting with the analyte, thus leading to the absorption-induced attenuation of the mode. Corresponding simulations, characterizing the efficiency of the desired interaction, predict values for the confinement factor Γ and the intrinsic damping D for a waveguide geometry, which is then characterized by measurements. Furthermore, we discuss how these waveguides could be part of an integrated, non-dispersive, mid-IR sensor system fully integrated on a single chip. In this context, we present a way to maintain the quality of waveguides throughout the entire workflow needed to integrate a pyroelectric IR detector based on aluminum nitride (AlN).

Secara simultan Covid 19 dan kurs Rp/USD serta inflasi berpengaruh signifikan terhadap IHSG, sehingga model regresi berganda IHSG diformulasikan sebagai berikut: Y = 0,95 – 0,04X1 + 0,89X2 – 1,05 X3; Y = IHSG, X1 = Covid 19, X2 = kurs Rp/USD, X3 = inflasi.
NEW AND HIGHLY EFFICIENT METHOD TO MEASURE STEADY SHEAR VISCOSITY AND WALL SLIP OF RUBBER COMPOUNDS: CLOSED-BOUNDARY RHEOMETER (RPA)
Authors: Burhin Henri G. , Rauschmann Thomas , Graf Hans-Joachim 
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT
The rubber process analyzer was commercialized by Monsanto Rubber Instrument and Equipment company in the early 1990s. In its initial version, the RPA was able to perform only oscillatory-type tests, which varied in frequency and strain. Later, it offered a controlled strain–stress relaxation test. Only recently and not for all models has a controlled steady shear test been made available. Using this type of test, the instrument has successfully measured steady shear viscosity with high repeatability without correction. The results fit well with other rheometers or viscometers when no-slip conditions are ensured. The closed-boundary configuration prevents edge fracture, as commonly experienced with open-boundary rheometers (DMA) on high-viscosity, high-elasticity materials. A comparison of results using grooved dies (no-slip) and polished dies (slip) readily provides wall slip velocity under constant pressure. The results of wall slip versus shear stress follow a power-law function per the Navier slip law [F(V) = −k(Vr)e]. This method separates the shear rate from pressure effects on wall slip. It questions pressure-driven flow instruments (capillary rheometer), which use pressure measurements for shear stress calculations, and prevents an easy and controlled change of the die surface roughness.

Feed your Self. Sulla colorizzazione del Sé nell’era del digitale
Authors: Sabatino Anna Chiara 
Published: August 2022

At the time of Instagramism, social media profiles are characterized by recognizable and homogeneous visual theme. Following the spread of the filter culture which allows greater control over numerous chromo-luministic parameters, users are confronted with a normalization of the notions of editing and color correction before every contents’ online publication.
The content creators are capable to creatively make what Lev Manovich defines style of existence, using the post-production tools now maneuverable to achieve the desired representation. In a self-representative but social dispositif, the aesthetics of filter triggers chromatic characterizations and compositions such as the color grid.
The paper intends to deepen the theoretical and methodological relationship between the social self-representation and the chromatic practice, with particular attention to the ways in which the coloristic connotations led to pleasant and gratifying presentation of the Self on Instagram platform.
Life satisfaction among individuals 50 years or older: Why living arrangements matter?

Growing research recognizes the importance of evaluating life satisfaction in promoting psychological well-being (PWB) among middle-aged and older adults due to its heightened importance for public health relevance. The current study assessed the relationship between life satisfaction and living arrangement among U.S. adults aged 50 years or older and whether this relationship varies by gender. We used the Health and Retirement Study data from 2010-2014 (7,163 respondents), a nationally representative cohort of U.S. adults aged 50 years or older. The outcome variable was the measure of satisfaction with life on a continuous scale (1-7). The categorical independent variable was individuals’ living arrangements status (living with a spouse/partners (reference category), living alone, living with others; measured in the 2012 wave. We conducted a Generalized linear model in our regression analysis. Controlling for demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related factors, individuals who lived alone or lived with others had significantly lower life satisfaction (β = -0.21, 95% CI [-0.31, -0.11]) and (β = -0.23, 95% CI [-0.38, 0.08]) respectively, compared to those who lived with a spouse/partner. These findings suggest public health policies and programs may need to find ways to increase supportive resources for people living alone or living with others to promote life satisfaction, which is a protective factor for good health.

Published: August 2022

Introduction:
There remain limited data on the effect of obesity on in-hospital outcomes after revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA).

Methods:
Discharge data from the National Inpatient Sample were used to identify patients undergoing rTHA from 2006 to 2015. Propensity score analysis was done to analyze the effects of obesity and morbid obesity on in-hospital economic and complication outcomes after rTHA.

Results:
The estimated 460,297 rTHAs were done during the study period. Obese patients were more likely to suffer from any complication than not obese patients (41.44% versus 39.41%, P = 0.0085), and morbidly obese patients were more likely to suffer from any complication than obese patients (47.22% versus 41.44%, P < 0.0001). Obesity was associated with increased risk of postoperative anemia compared with not obese patients, while morbid obesity was associated with increased risk of postoperative anemia, hematoma/seroma, wound dehiscence, and postoperative infection (P < 0.05). Morbidly obese patients also had a significantly greater average length of stay (6.40 days) than obese (5.23 days) and not obese (5.37 days) patients (P < 0.0001).

Discussion:
Although both obesity and morbid obesity are associated with higher risk of in-hospital postoperative complications after rTHA, morbid obesity is a larger risk factor and is associated with a longer length of stay.

Multicentric Castleman Disease a Diagnostic Dilemma: A Case Series of T hree Patients Seen at a Tertiary Health Facility in Zambia
Authors: Mukonde Frank , Musonda Francis , Liusha Namakando 
Published: August 2022

Background: Castleman disease (CD) is a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders of uncertain cause presenting with lymphadenopathy. There are three generally described immunological disorders of CD that occur in individuals of all ages and share a similar microscopic lymph node appearance but different immunohistochemical profile. Oftentimes, diagnosis can be challenging where histology is not done, with most patients being presumptively treated as tuberculous (TB) adenitis.
Method & Results: We present three case reports of CD, one is of an Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) naive patient, the other two are in HIV positive patients. All three patients presented with fever, recurrent anemia and generalized lymphadenopathy. W hole body Computed Tomography (CT) scans as well as excision biopsies (for histopathology and immunohistochemical staining for Human Herpes Virus-8 (HHV-8) were done on all three patients.
Case 1: Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease in a 20 year old male patient who also developed TAFRO syndrome (Thrombocytopenia, Ascites, myelo Fibrosis, Renaldys functionand Organomegaly) in the course of the illness. Case 2 & 3: HHV-8 associated Multi centric Castleman Disease in HIV positive 42 year and 27 year old female patients respectively. The 42 year old received chemotherapy for six months, and had symptomatic relief and remission, while the 27 year old was yet to commence chemotherapy.
Discussion: Most cases of CD go undiagnosed or mostly misdiagnosed for other common causes of lymphadenopathy in Zambia. These are the first case reports in our hospital, with notable backgrounds of physicians having suggested TB treatment from the referring facilities.
Conclusion: Both HHV-8 and none-HHV-8 associated CD may be very common in our population, and there is need for prompt biopsy, reporting and treatment of all patients presenting with lymphadenopathy in our hospitals.

Published: August 2022

Medical imaging plays a significant role in the detection of foetal anomalies, such as the Pentalogy of Cantrell (POC). POC is a congenital anomaly involving five or fewer body malformations: ectopia cordis (EC), tetralogy of fallot (TOF), sternal defects, diaphragmatic defects, and abdominal wall defects. The commonly used imaging modality in the detection of POC during pregnancy is ultrasound because it uses non-ionising radiation, is cheap, and is available in most medical facilities. We report a rare case of POC from a medical imaging standpoint in Zambia. Two obstetric ultrasound scans were performed in the 3rd trimester. The initial scan revealed, among other things, unappreciated abdominal contents, while the second scan revealed a foetal heart sited partially external to the thoracic cavity, with external herniation of the liver and bowels. Our case was classified as incomplete POC because not all five main malformations were present. This case report highlights the importance of having well-organised obstetric ultrasound imaging services both in urban and rural parts of the country to improve antenatal care.
