The role of appetite-controlling hormones in the development of eating disorders in diabetic 2 patients
Authors: Urbanovych Alina , Laniush Fedir 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Binge eating disorder (BED) and night eating syndrome (NES) are common eating disorders (EDs) in individuals with diabetes type 2 (DT2). They worsen metabolic control, have a negative impact on physical and mental health and reduce quality of life. The roles of appetite-controlling hormones – leptin and ghrelin – is not clear enough in EDs and need to be investigated in order to establish new approaches and markers of EDs. Aim: To assess the difference in leptin and ghrelin levels in DT2 patients with and without EDs. 57 patients with DT2 were involved in the study. After physical examination and screening for EDs, blood samples for leptin and ghrelin measuring were obtained.
Results: 19 participants (33.3%) were screened positively for ED (BE or NES). Leptin levels were higher in participants with ED (p<0.05). Conversely, ghrelin levels were lower in those with BE or NES (p<0.05).
Leptin level is increased in DT2 individuals with BED and NES, whereas ghrelin is decreased. Leptin and ghrelin alterations maintain emotional eating, increase the frequency of binge and night eating episodes. In screening for EDs, assessing leptin and ghrelin levels will facilitate obesity reduction and improve metabolic control in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Methods of incremental manufacturing, i.e. 3D printing, have been experiencing significant growth in recent years, both in terms of the development of modern technologies dedicated to various applications, and in terms of optimizing the parameters of the process itself so as to ensure the desired mechanical and strength properties of the parts produced in this way. High hopes are currently being pinned on the use of highly penetrating types of radiation, i.e. synchrotron and/or neutron radiation, for quantitative identification of parameters characterizing objects produced by means of 3D printing. Thanks to diffraction methodologies, it is feasible to obtain input information to optimize 3D printing procedures not only for finished prints but also to monitor in situ printing processes. Thanks to these methodologies, it is possible to obtain information on parameters that are critical from the perspective of application of such obtained elements as stresses generated during the printing procedure itself as well as residual stresses after printing. This parameter, from the point of view of tensile strength, compression strength as well as fatigue strength, is crucial and determines the possibility of introducing elements produced by incremental methods into widespread industrial use.

Abstract
The focus of this research work was predicting the fatigue life of mechanical components used for industrial and transport systems. To understand how the phenomenon of fatigue occurs in a material, the fatigue crack growth is studied. The purpose of this work was to create a graphical user interface (GUI) under Matlab to allow researchers to conduct the parametric studies of fatigue crack propagation to predict fatigue life. In this work, three models for fatigue crack propagation were used: those of Paris, Walker and Forman in order to study the three parameters: the Paris exponent m, load ratio R and hardness K

, respectively. In addition, a novel model FCG was developed to study the influence of the hardening parameters (K′, n′) on fatigue crack propagation. The comparison of the simulation results with those in the literature shows good agreement.
Reliability and Utility of Standard Gene Sequence Barcodes for the Identification and Differentiation of Cyst Nematodes of the Genus Heterodera
Authors: Huston Daniel C. , Khudhir Manda , Hodda Mike 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Difficulties inherent in the morphological identification of cyst nematodes of the genus Heterodera Schmidt, 1871, an important lineage of plant parasites, has led to broad adoption of molecular methods for diagnosing and differentiating species. The pool of publicly available sequence data has grown significantly over the past few decades, and over half of all known species of Heterodera have been characterized using one or more molecular markers commonly employed in DNA barcoding (18S, internal transcribed spacer [ITS], 28S, coxI). But how reliable are these data and how useful are these four markers for differentiating species? We downloaded all 18S, ITS, 28S, and coxI gene sequences available on the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database, GenBank, for all species of Heterodera for which data were available. Using a combination of sequence comparison and tree-based phylogenetic methods, we evaluated this dataset for erroneous or otherwise problematic sequences and examined the utility of each molecular marker for the delineation of species. Although we find the rate of obviously erroneous sequences to be low, all four molecular markers failed to differentiate between at least one species pair. Our results suggest that while a combination of multiple markers is best for species identification, the coxI marker shows the most utility for species differentiation and should be favored over 18S, ITS, and 28S, where resources are limited. Presently, less than half the valid species of Heterodera have a sequence of coxI available, and only a third have more than one sequence of this marker.

Abstract
Longidorid nematodes comprise more than 500 species, and Longidorus and Xiphinema are the most diversified, prevalent, and cosmopolitan genera within plant-parasitic nematodes. The genus Longidorus comprise a group of species, some of which are vectors of plant viruses. New sampling for needle nematodes was carried out in a grapevine area in Thessaloniki, northern Greece, and one nematode species of Longidorus (L. leptocephalus) was recovered. Nematodes were extracted from soil samples by modified sieving and a decanting method. Extracted specimens were processed using glycerol, mounted on permanent slides, and subsequently identified morphologically. Nematode DNA was extracted from individual, live specimens, and PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) assays were performed for D2-D3 expansion segments of 28S rRNA, ITS1 rRNA, and partial mitochondrial COI regions. Morphology and morphometric data obtained from this population were consistent with the original description and reported populations of L. leptocephalus. To our knowledge, this is the first report of L. leptocephalus in Greece and the second in the Mediterranean Basin after the record of the species from Slovenia, extending the geographical distribution of this species in Europe.
Application of therapeutic linear accelerators for the production of radioisotopes used in nuclear medicine

Published: July 2022

Abstract
This review paper summarizes the possibilities of the use of therapeutic linear electron accelerators for the production of radioisotopes for nuclear medicine. This work is based on our published results and the thematically similar papers by other authors, directly related to five medical radioisotopes as 99Mo/99mTc, 198Au, 186Re, 188Re, 117mSn, produced using therapeutic linacs. Our unpublished data relating to the issues discussed have also been used here. In the experiments, two types of radiation were included in the analysis of the radioisotope production process, i.e. the therapeutic twenty-megavolt (20 MV) X-rays generated by Varian linacs and neutron radiation contaminating the therapeutic beam. Thus, the debated radioisotopes are produced in the photonuclear reactions and in the neutron ones. Linear therapeutic accelerators do not allow the production of radioisotopes with high specific activities, but the massive targets can be used instead. Thus, the amount of the produced radioisotopes may be increased. Apart from linear accelerators, more and more often, the production of radioisotopes is carried out in small medical cyclotrons. More such cyclotrons are developed, built, and sold commercially than for scientific research. The radioisotopes produced with the use of therapeutic linacs or cyclotrons can be successfully applied in various laboratory tests and in research.

Abstract
Low energy building materials based on natural and renewable resources have become popular among customers. The natural occurrence of the raw materials and the idea to move closer to nature with its natural products have brought high interest in hempcrete. Hempcrete is a kind of binder-aggregate material where besides mineral binder, hemp shive aggregate act as a filler. A good technical performance of such composites has been reported before, while the term an ‘advanced material’ for traditional hempcrete lacks some superior properties for civil engineers. This research offers advanced hempcrete-type material where gypsum binder and hemp shives are used as the main components. Additionally, phase change material (PCM) was incorporated into the mixture composition to increase their thermal mass. PCM gives additional thermal heat storage for buildings which makes the building envelope more homogenous regarding thermal stability under outer temperature fluctuations. This could give additional comfort during heating and cooling seasons. Up to 20 wt.% of microencapsulated PCM suspension had been added to the hempcrete mixture composition and heat capacity was calculated and validated with differential scanning calorimetry measurements. Physical and mechanical performance was also evaluated. Results indicate that in the temperature interval from 20 to 30 °C, the heat capacity of hempcrete can be increased to 1901 J/(gK) (by 70.4 %) and it correlates well with theoretical thermal mass calculation. This gives promising results for further development of the material and proves the feasibility of PCM integration in hempcrete.

Abstract
Electromechanical association is a very unique physiological type of ECG artifact caused by the radial artery pulse tapping. ECG presentation of this artifact may imitate primary repolarization changes characteristic for acute coronary syndrome or electrolyte abnormalities. The peculiarity of electromechanical association is the synchronization with regular cardiac cycles, making a diagnostic challenge even for experience physicians. The present case is a rare example of an ECG artifact localized in a specific pattern mimics ECG changes of acute myocardial infarction with ST elevation (STEMI), including reciprocal ST depression. Moreover, serial prehospital ECGs verify evolution from hyperacute T waves to true ST elevation, as we seen in acute myocardial infarction. The key for artefact recognition was the knowledge about ECG leads derivation and identification the affected electrode. Electromechanical association frequency is unknown: it may be common, but often unrecognized finding. So far, electromechanical association in serial ECGs wasn’t reported, as per our knowledge.
Strengthening Workspaces: Adapting Wellington’s Earthquake Prone Heritage Buildings for Co-Workspaces
Authors:   , Vance Lara 
Published: July 2022

<p><b>In the late 1960s the Wellington City Council surveyed all the commercial buildings in the city and marked nearly 200 as earthquake prone. The owners were given 15 years to either strengthen or demolish their buildings. The end result was mass demolition throughout the seventies and eighties.¹ Prompted by the Christchurch earthquakes, once again the council has published a list of over 630 earthquake prone buildings that need to be strengthened or demolished by 2030.²Of these earthquake prone buildings, the majority were built between 1880 and 1930, with 125 buildings appearing on the Wellington City Council Heritage Building List.³ This list accounts for a significant proportion of character buildings in the city. There is a danger that the aesthetic integrity of our city will be further damaged due to the urgent need to strengthen these buildings. Many of the building owners are resistant because of the high cost. By adapting these buildings to house co-workspaces, we can gain more than just the retention of the building’s heritage. The seismic upgrade provides the opportunity for the office space to be redesigned to suit changes in the ways we work. Through a design-based research approach this thesis proposes a framework that clarifies the process of adapting Wellington’s earthquake prone heritage buildings to accommodate co-working. This framework deals with the key concepts of program, structure and heritage. The framework is tested on one of Wellington’s earthquake prone heritage buildings, the Wellington Working Men’s Club, in order to demonstrate what can be gained from this strengthening process. ¹ Reid, J., “Hometown Boomtown,” in NZ On Screen (Wellington, 1983).</b></p>

Abstrak— Routing adalah proses proses pencarian lintasan yang akan di lalui oleh paket data. Software Defined Network (SDN) adalah sebuah konsep konfigurasi jaringan computer baru yang dimana data plane dan control plane dipisahkan. Kelebihan dari Software Defined Network dibandingkan dengan jaringan konvensional yaitu, pemusatan konfigurasi pada kontroler Software Defined Network. Pada penelitian ini, skenario jaringan Software Defined Network di bangun menggunakan software mininet untuk pembentukan topologinya dengan menerapkan algoritma Dijkstra pada kontroler RYU dan POX untuk pemilihan jalur terpendeknya. Pada pengujian dibentuk 6 topologi dengan pemberian bobot yang berbeda, tujuan pembedaan bobot untuk memastikan bahwa algoritma Djikstra benar benar dapat di terapkan pada kontroler RYU dan POX. Pemberian bobot juga dilakukan agar kontroler dapat membentuk tabel routing untuk mengidentidikasi jalur tercepat yang akan di lalui oleh paket data tersebut.

Hasil rata-rata dari semua pengujian adalah 1) pengujian waktu konvergensi pada RYU 0.4143s dan POX 0.5231s, 2) pengujian throughput yang di hasilkan RYU 12781.79kb/s dan POX 11412.24kb/s, 3) pengujian delay yang di hasilkan RYU 0.223ms dan POX 0.247ms, 4) pengujian jitter yang di hasilkan RYU 0.08ms dan POX 1.21ms. 5) rerata pengujian Packet Loss yang di hasilkan RYU 0 dan POX 0.2%.Kata Kunci—SDN, Mininet, RYU, POX.

Routing is the process of finding the path to be traversed by data packets. Software Defined Network (SDN) is a new computer network configuration concept in which the data plane and control plane are separated. The advantage of a Software Defined Network compared to a conventional network is that the configuration is centralized on the Software Defined Network controller. In this study, the Software Defined Network network scenario was built using mininet software for the formation of the topology by applying the Dijkstra algorithm to the RYU and POX controllers for the selection of the shortest path. In the test, 6 topologies were formed with different weights, the purpose of the weight difference is to ensure that the Djikstra algorithm can really be applied to the RYU and POX controllers. Weighting is also done so that the controller can form a routing table to identify the fastest path to be traversed by the data packet. The test results on all topologies are averaged to compare their performance. The average results of all tests are 1) testing the convergence time at RYU 0.4143s and POX 0.5231s, 2) throughput testing the resulting RYU 12781.79kb/s and POX 11412.24kb/s, 3) delay testing the resulting RYU 0.223 ms and POX 0.247ms, 4) jitter test which resulted in RYU 0.08ms and POX 1.21ms. 5) the average Packet Loss test produced is RYU 0 and POX 0.2%.Keywords— SDN, Mininet, RYU, POX.
