Published: November 2022

AbstractA novel multifunctional ring shear apparatus is introduced in this paper, which is developed for investigating the interface strength characteristics of liner systems in various waste containment and other facilities. Annular specimens with a 300-mm inner diameter and a 500-mm outer diameter are tested by the apparatus. This apparatus consists of four components: (1) the vertical loading system, (2) the torsional shearing system, (3) the multifunctional shearing box, and (4) the process control and data acquisition system. The advantages of this apparatus are as follows: (1) The specimen can be tested both in displacement control and stress control, during which the normal stress is maintained or varied as needed. (2) The maximum normal stress and shear stress that can be loaded are 2.39 and 2.59 MPa, respectively. (3) The shear displacement is unlimited and the real-time shear displacement of each interface in the liner system can be obtained. (4) Special nail plate panels are developed for clamping different types of geosynthetics. A new adaptive telescopic pressure plate device is also developed for testing other materials, such as the clay layer and sand layer, and adapting to its compression deformation without lateral deformation. The performance of the apparatus is comprehensively evaluated by the conventional shear mode experiment and mode switching shear experiment of the textured geomembrane/geotextile interface and the conventional shear experiment of the composite liner system.
Experimental Setup for Measuring p-y Curves of Rigid Walls Supporting Granular Backfill

Published: November 2022

Abstract
In the context of performance-based design, there is interest in quantifying the relationship between the lateral earth pressure and the wall displacement using the concept of p-y curves. Although p-y curves have been extensively used in the analysis of piles, their use in the analysis of rigid walls is still in its early stages. There is a need for realistic and simplified models that could describe the p-y relationship for rigid walls to be used as input in robust soil-structure-interaction analyses. This paper aims at studying the development of lateral stresses behind rigid walls in the context of p-y curves using a laboratory-scale retaining wall prototype that is 0.5 m wide, 1.2 m high, and 2.6 m long. The main objective is to provide insight on the p-y response behind rigid walls under static and cyclic loading conditions for different backfill densities and confinement conditions. Results indicate that the proposed experimental setup yields repeatable and consistent measurements of the p-y response, which was found to be highly nonlinear and not adequately represented by the simple elastic-perfectly plastic model that was adopted in the literature in modeling soil-structure interaction between basement walls and sand backfill. Unique results from the cyclic tests indicated a process of densification that dominated the volumetric tendency of the sand during cyclic loading, with the p-y curves showing a significant increase in stiffness and maximum pressure at the passive side after 10 loading cycles. The gradual increase in stiffness decreased with the number of cycles until convergence in the passive stiffness was observed after 9 to 10 cycles.
Evaluating the Rutting and Cracking Resistance of Asphalt Mixes Subjected to Different Silo Storage Times

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Plant-produced asphalt mixes can be stored in the silo for a few hours prior to being transported to the construction site. The mixes undergo additional aging during silo storage because of the high temperature in the silo. This additional aging of the mixes is not accounted for during the mix design process and could greatly influence the mix properties. Additional blending between the virgin and recycled binder could also take place in mixes containing reclaimed asphalt pavement or reclaimed asphalt shingles. In this study, four asphalt mixes were collected from different regions within California before and after silo storage. The plant-produced mixes were sampled at the hot drop point directly from the plant discharge, as well as from the silo after storage for 5–16 h. The rutting and cracking behavior of the mixes was assessed using the Hamburg wheel tracking (HWT) test, the repeated load triaxial (RLT) test, and the indirect tensile asphalt cracking test (IDEAL-CT). The rut depth from the HWT test, the flow number and cycles at 5 % permanent strain from the unconfined RLT test, and the CTindex from the IDEAL-CT were determined before and after silo storage. The results clearly show that the silo storage has a notable effect on both the rutting and cracking resistance, even for short durations (i.e., 5–6 h). The rutting resistance, as given by the HWT results, increased for three out of the four mixes after silo storage, whereas the cracking resistance decreased for all mixes.
Design, Fabrication, and Experiments of a Soft Pneumatic Gripper with Closed-Loop Position Control

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Soft pneumatic grippers (SPGs) contribute significantly to the development of soft robotic devices and help enable different and complex hardware designs for soft robots. Apart from the many advantages, the lack of position feedback of soft grippers presents a problem for position control. This study aims to examine this problem with the SPG, which is fabricated using additive manufacturing technology. The soft gripper is fabricated in two parts using the molding technique. The structure of the gripper consists of molded silicone (room-temperature-vulcanizing [room-temperature-vulcanizing]-3015) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film consisting of chambers. These sections are an active chamber consisting of 10 airtight sections that can be operated with compressed air and a passive chamber covered with PET film. During the bending of the SPG, the PET film inside the passive chamber begins to be compressed by the compressed air, resulting in a higher load-holding capacity of the gripper. In addition, the position of the feedback module made of flex sensor is integrated during fabrication. Various experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of the SPG. Finite element analysis of the gripper was performed with COMSOL to compare the accuracy of real-time experiments. With the experimental studies’ results, the SPG’s motion characteristics, the relationship between the bending angle and the pressure, and the position-tracking performance were analyzed. Experimental results of the SPG were found to be in good agreement with the simulation results. The experimental results determined that the SPG showed successful trajectory tracking performance with the proportional-integral-derivative control algorithm. The root mean square value for the controller is calculated as 0.1245°.

Introduction: Contraception is a main pillar for reducing maternal mortality. Modern contraceptive (MC) prevalence is low in Cameroon. Objective: To analyze the explicative factors of low uptake of modern contraceptives. Material and methods: This was a cross-sectional analytic study in Kumbo West health district, in the North West Region, after the Catholic University Ethical Committee approval. A total of 250 women were interviewed on their use of MC, their socio-demographic and reproductive health characteristics. Ever users and never users of MCs were compared. Data analysis was performed using EPI-info.7.2 Odds ratio, with its 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to appreciate associations between different variables and no use of MC. The level of significance was set up at p<0.05. Results: Among the overall 250 participants, 99 had ever use MC (39.6%) and 44 women were currently under MC (17.6%). Never use of MC was associated with low level of education (68.5% vs. 31.5 %; AOR=3.64; 95% CI: 2.74-4.82; p=0.0001); living far from the health facility (84.0% vs. 16.0%; AOR: 3.32; 95%CI: 2.23-4.95; p=0.0001); lack of counseling on MC (93.6% vs. 5%; AOR: 2.71; 95%CI: 1.97-3.75); p=0.0001); lack of couple discussion on MC (83.7% vs.16.3%; AOR: 3.07 (2.22-4.25); p=0.0001); decision for MC use belonging to the partner (71.2% vs. 28.8%; AOR: 1.31 (1.9-1.45); p=0.0001); and low monthly income less than 36 000 CFA was associated to non-use of MCs (64.9% vs. 35.1%; AOR: 2.56; 95%CI: 1.81-3.62, p=0.0001). Conclusion: MC Uptake is low in Kumbo and most explicative factors are modifiable. Program managers must use them for developing strategies if they are expecting to increase the MC use.
Aortoiliacalis stenoocclusiv betegség fedett sztentekkel végzett endovascularis ellátásával szerzett kezdeti tapasztalataink
Authors: Hidi László , Lengyel Balázs , Legeza Péter , Szeberin Zoltán 
Published: November 2022

Bevezetés: A komplex aortoiliacalis stenoocclusiv betegségek
kezelésének megoldását hagyományosan a nyitott műtéti technikák jelentik.
Napjainkban azonban a kisebb perioperatív megterheléssel járó endovascularis
vagy hibrid beavatkozások – mint például a fedettsztent-implantáció – is
megoldásként szolgálhatnak, amelyekkel akár aortobiiliacalis, akár
aortobifemoralis áthidalások kiválthatók. Célkitűzés: A
vascularis centrumunkban végzett aortoiliacalis fedett sztent implantációk korai
eredményeinek elemzése. Módszer: A 2019. november 1. és 2021.
szeptember 30. között prospektíven regisztrált, konszekutív, aortoiliacalis
fedett sztent implantációján átesett betegek adatainak retrospektív elemzését
végeztük. Rögzítettük a betegek demográfiai és preoperatív egészségügyi adatait,
a perioperatív szövődményeket, emellett a pre- és posztoperatívan megállapított
Rutherford-stádiumot és boka-kar indexet. Vizsgálatunk elsődleges végpontja a
perioperatív mortalitás, illetve az egyéves túlélés és elsődleges nyitva
maradás, míg másodlagos végpontja a boka-kar index, illetve a Rutherford-stádium
változásának és az amputációs rátának a megállapítása volt. Elemzésünkhöz
Kaplan–Meier-analízist és Wilcoxon-féle ’signed-ranked’ tesztet használtunk.
Eredmények: Vizsgálatunkba 36 beteget vontunk be. Az
átlagos utánkövetési idő 12 ± 6,9 hónap volt. 72,2%-ban (n = 26) TASC C–D
klasszifikációjú aortoiliacalis elváltozás miatt végeztünk beavatkozást, 44%-ban
(n = 16) kritikus alsó végtagi ischaemia miatt, 64%-ban (n = 23) percutan
punkcióból. A kórházban töltött napok száma átlagosan 5 ± 7 nap volt.
Perioperatív vérzéses szövődmény 4 (11,1%), reoperáció 6 (16,6%) esetben fordult
elő. Perioperatív halálozás nem történt. Az egyéves túlélés 94,3%, az elsődleges
nyitva maradás 91,4% volt. A betegek posztoperatív Rutherford-stádiuma (3. [2.]
vs. 1. [1.]; p<0,001) és boka-kar indexe (0,4 [0,55]
vs. 1 [0,4]; p<0,001) szignifikánsan javult a
preoperatívhoz képest. Nem tervezett major amputációt nem végeztünk.
Következtetés: Az aortoiliacalis stenoocclusiv betegségek
kezelésében fedett sztentek használatával jelentős klinikai javulás mellett
kedvező perioperatív mortalitás, egyéves túlélés és elsődleges nyitva maradás,
illetve elfogadható perioperatív morbiditás érhető el. Ez az eljárás megfelelő
alternatívája lehet a nyitott műtéti megoldásoknak. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(39):

The management of Spodoptera litura by entomopathogenic Nucleopolyhedrosis Viruses (NPVs) is one of the eco-friendly methods. The present study was aimed to evaluate Nucleopolyhedrosis Virus (NPV) against S. litura and its potential as a bio-pesticide. The Occlusion Bodies (OBs) of S. litura nucleopolyhedrosis virus was isolated from infected larvae collected from cabbage field. Pathogenicity studies evaluated three NPV suspensions viz. SpltNPV-native, SpltNPV-commercial and SpltNPV-NIPHM against second and fourth instar larvae of S. litura recorded maximum mortality at 1×109 OBs/ml. The LC50 values of the SpltNPV-native, SpltNPV-commercial and SpltNPV-NIPHM suspensions against second instar larvae were 0.584, 0.540, 0.625 OBs/mm2, respectively, which increased to 0.696, 0.620, 0.756 OBs/mm2 against the fourth instar larvae. The LT50 at 1×109 OBs/ml was found to increase from 146.33, 137.51 and 155.88 h for SpltNPV-native, SpltNPV-commercial and SpltNPV-NIPHM suspension, respectively, against the second instar larvae to 178.51, 162.07 and 187.67 h, respectively, against the fourth instar larvae. The cumulative per cent mortality, LC50 and LT50 suggested that the second instar larvae were more susceptible and easier to kill than the fourth instar larvae.
Mitigating low-value care: Reflections on love and respect for patient
Authors: Jafaru Yahaya 
Published: November 2022

Background & Aim: Low-value care is care that has little or no benefit to the patient, with the potential to cause harm and incur unnecessary spending to patients and society or waste limited resources. This paper's aim is to reflect on how love and respect for patients are valuable in mitigating the occurrence of low-value care.
Methods & Materials: A descriptive theoretical and empirical literature analysis was employed to reflect on the impacts of love and respect for a patient on mitigating low-value care.
Results: The feelings of uncomfortable atmosphere, dissatisfaction, and distrust by the patient due to a deficit of love and respect for the patient could lead to a high rate of patronizing low-value care from unprofessional health workers, which could lead to the occurrence of complications. However, when care is based on optimal love and respect, it eventually brings about patients' satisfaction and continued utilization of high-value care choices from experienced health professionals.
Conclusion: It is imperative to apply love and respect for patients in healthcare practices; otherwise, a surge in the occurrence of low-value care caused by patients' requests and expectations is possible. There is a need for a deep understanding of low-value care in nursing through research studies.
