Authors: Lopez Argeime , Gabor Manuela Rozalia 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The common values of a circular economy are concentrated in decoupling economic growth from resource consumption; resource efficiency; waste management; sharing; reducing greenhouse gas emissions; lifecycle assessments and closing loops. With the increasing cost of natural resources as a real EU scenario, industries will significantly benefit from shifting towards a more circular approach. The aim of this paper is to analyses the waste management actions, especially for construction and demolition sector, in Romania in the EU-28 context by applying statistical methods and neural network modelling to find the best macroeconomic predictor for recovery rate of construction and demolition waste for period 2010-2020.

Abstract
Serious problems are on the rise, especially in these current times. The world is facing too many environmental threats. Water pollution is one of the main issues threatening the future. In some parts of the world, the water’s surface is covered by mucilage, which is dangerous for both aquatic animals and humans. This article firstly defines mucilage and highlights the reasons for its production. Afterwards to tackle water pollution, cleaning systems using image detection with the help of machine learning supervised classification algorithms are highlighted. This paper showcases the machine learning and classification used as well as the best solution for convolutional neural network and region-based convolutional neural network methods.
Sand dune vegetation-biocrust interaction as a source of spatial heterogeneity
Authors: Yizhaq Hezi , Ashkenazy Yosef 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Vegetation and biocrust play crucial roles in dune stability and mobility, and their interaction can lead to bistability, temporal oscillations, and hysteresis. We studied a two-dimensional (2D) mathematical model of vegetation and biogenic crust cover dynamics on sand dunes. Under a certain parameter range, the space-independent version of the model exhibited the bi-stability of an oscillatory state and a steady state, and we studied the 2D dynamics of the model under these parameters. The patterns developed by the 2D model showed a high degree of spatial heterogeneity and complexity depending on the initial conditions and on the state type across the front. The results suggest that spatial heterogeneity and complexity can evolve from the intrinsic dynamics between vegetation and biocrust, even without natural geodiversity and spatiotemporal climate fluctuations. In the real world, these two types of intrinsic and extrinsic heterogeneity processes interact such that it is difficult to distinguish between them.

Published: May 2022

Background:Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is most often caused by blood vessels touching a facial nerve. In particular, responsible vessels compress the root exit zone (REZ) of the facial nerve. Although we recognize these causes of HFS, it is difficult to evaluate the findings of precise lesion in radiological imaging when vessels compress REZ. Hence, we tried to obtain precise images of pre- and postoperative neuroradiological findings of HFS by creating a fusion image of MR angiography and the REZ of facial nerve extracted by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diffusion tensor image (DTI).Case Description:A 52-year-old woman had a 2-year history of HFS on the left side of her face. It was confirmed that the left vertebral artery and anterior inferior cerebellar artery were presented near the facial nerve on MRI. REZ of the facial nerve was visualized using DTI and fusion image was created with vascular components, making it possible to recognize the relationship between compression vessels and REZ of the facial nerve in detail. She underwent microvascular decompression and her HFS completely disappeared. We confirmed that the REZ of the facial nerve was decompressed by MRI imaging, in the same way as before surgery.Conclusion:We describe that the REZ of facial nerve and compressive vessels was delineated in detail on MRI and this technique is useful for pre- and postoperative evaluation of HFS.

Published: May 2022

Background:Rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor (RGNT) is a rare tumor that arises primarily in the posterior fossa, with molecular features ofFGFR1mutation. A previous study reported that brainstem RGNT accounts for only 2.7% cases; therefore, midbrain RGNT is infrequent.Case Description:The authors encountered two cases of RGNT located in the midbrain tegmentum (Case 1: 23-year-old woman and Case 2: 18-year-old boy), both exhibiting similar cystic components with gadolinium-enhanced cyst walls on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging, surgically resected through the occipital transtentorial approach. Histological findings in both cases comprised two characteristic architectures of neurocytic and glial components, typical of RGNT. Molecular assessment revealed noFGFR1mutation in the initial specimen, but revealedFGFR1K656E mutation in the recurrent specimen in Case 1 and showed noFGFR1mutation but showedTERTC228T mutation in Case 2. Neither case revealedIDH1/2, BRAF, H3F3AK27,H3F3AG34, orHIST1H3BK27 mutations. DNA methylation-based classification (molecularneuropathology.org) categorized both cases as RGNT, whose calibrated scores were 0.99 and 0.47 in Cases 1 and 2, respectively.Conclusion:Midbrain tegmentum RGNTs exhibited typical histological features but variedFGFR1statuses withTERTmutation. RGNT in rare locations may carry different molecular alterations than those in other common locations, such as the posterior fossa.

Introduction
Predictive parameters that can affect the course of this infection have been the main topic of research since the beginning of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic. Since the discovery of blood groups, the effect of these on infectious diseases has always been of interest.
Objectives
To analyze the effect of ABO blood group on mortality, hospitalization duration and hematological and cytokine storm parameters in patients with COVID-19.
Patients and methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 140 patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Demographic characteristics, laboratory parameters including ABO blood group, complete blood count (CBC) parameters, biochemical tests, cytokine storm parameters, duration of hospitalization, and final status (discharge or death) were recorded.
Results: The 140 patients included in the analysis comprised 72 (51.4%) males and 68 (48.6%) females with a mean age of 66.3±14.0 years. . Age and gender, hospitalization duration and mortality rates were similar in all blood group types. Only D-dimer levels were found to be higher in blood group A compared with other blood groups.
Conclusion: Although no difference in mortality was determined between groups, the D-dimer level was statistically significantly higher in COVID-19 patients with A blood group. Larger studies are needed to reflect D-dimer levels on the clinical course of infection, and thus on daily practice.
COMPARISON OF PERIOPERATIVE SEDATION WITH DEXMEDETOMIDINE AND PROPOFOL IN PATIENTS ON MECHANICAL VENTILATION WITH THORACIC AND ABDOMINAL SURGERY

Published: May 2022

Background: Sedatives used during thoracic and abdominal surgery may affect hemodynamics, patient extubation time, length of stay in the intensive care unit, and the incidence of delirium.
Aim: Perioperative assessment of the level sedation with propofol and dexmedetomidine, their effect on hemodynamics with determination of non-invasive cardiac output (esCCO), extubation time, duration of stay in ICU department and frequency of postoperative delirium.
Methods: The study included 121 patients over 18 years of age who underwent thoracic and abdominal surgery and received dexmedetomidine or propofol infusion for sedation in the perioperative period. The main result of the study was the determination of extubation time and indicators of non-invasive monitoring of hemodynamics with measurement of cardiac output (esCCO) using the Nihon Kohden monitor. Secondary results of the study were the length of stay in the intensive care unit and hospital, the frequency of delirium.
Results. Dexmedetomidine usage (n=52) as an intraoperative and postoperative sedative as opposed to propofol (n=69) was associated with a higher probability of extubation (HR=1.65, 95% CI =1.23–2.21, P=0.001). The longer duration of the operation was associated with a decrease in the probability of extubation (HR=0.83, 95% CI=0.62-0.94, P=0.029), and elderly patients were less likely to rapid extubation (HR=0.73; 95% CI=0.62-0.94, P=0.005). Baseline noninvasive cardiac output parameters of propofol and dexmedetomidine patients were 5.9±1.1 l/min and 6.1±0.6 l/min, respectively. At the end of the operation, the CO values were lower than baseline in patients in the propofol and dexmedetomidine groups by 11.9 % and 6.6 %, respectively. There was no significant association between dexmedetomidine use and length of stay in intensive care, or discharge from hospital (P=0.99 and P=0.54, respectively) and the incidence of delirium in ICU department (P=0.25).
Conclusion: Perioperative use of dexmedetomidine was associated with earlier extubation in patients who underwent thoracic and abdominal surgery, without affecting the length of stay in the intensive care unit and hospital. The duration of the operation, old age and the appearance of delirium are the leading factors that contributed to the prolongation of ventilation time. Given the less pronounced depressant effect on noninvasive cardiac output, dexmedetomidine-based perioperative sedation regimens may be an alternative to propofol-based regimens to reduce extubation time

Актуальність. Бойова діяльність (БД) військовослужбовців відноситься до дуже важких видів професійної діяльності (ПД), яка вимагає від них значних м’язових зусиль, прояву на високому рівні відповідних фізичних якостей, рухових навичок; підвищеної активності значної кількості різноманітних органів і систем; залучення до роботи великої кількості морфофункціональних і психічних структур організму людини. Це супроводжуєть- ся витратою такої кількості енергії, якої не здатні продукувати механізми енергозабезпечення організму більшості військовослужбовців, що призводить до швидкої втрати працездатності. Підвищення рухових спро- можностей і розширення функціональних резервів організму офіцерів до рівня, що вимагає БД, відбувається під час їх навчання в академії. А його підтримання є актуальним продовж всієї професійної кар’єри офіцера. Однак, одразу після випуску з академії фізична активність більшості офіцерів знижується, а разом з нею й їх фізична підготовленість.
Враховуючи, що фізична підготовленість є фундаментом для всіх інших компонентів боєздатності військовослужбовців, актуальним є пошук шляхів забезпечення належного рівня ефективності фізичного вдоскона- лення офіцерів продовж всієї їх служби. Мета роботи – визначення рівня мотиваційно-ціннісного ставлення курсантів до фізичного вдосконалення на початку їх військової служби як умови і передумови доцільних систематичних занять ними фізичними вправами. Методи – аналіз та узагальнення наукових праць, опитуван- ня. Результати. Встановлено, що в структурі мотивації до фізкультурно-спортивної діяльності (ФСД) значної кількості курсантів на момент їх вступу до академії переважають гедоністичні мотиви, а метою їх занять спортом є розвага. Виявлено, що 60,2 % курсантів на початку навчання в академії мають низький рівень мотиваційно-ціннісного ставлення до фізичного вдосконалення, якій характеризується неадекватністю оцінки своєї фізичної підготовленості, відсутністю бажання виявляти зусилля при виконанні рухової активності, що не дозволяє розраховувати на високу результативність фізичного вдосконалення. Висновки. Для підвищення ефективності фізичної підготовки офіцерів у військах потребує посилення формування в них мотиваційно- ціннісного ставлення до фізичного вдосконалення під час навчання в академії.

Surface Roughness Reduction in A Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) Process using Central Composite Design Method
Authors: Kandananond Karin 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The objective of this study is to optimize the fabrication factors of a consumer-grade fused filament fabrication (FFF) system. The input factors were nozzle temperature, bed temperature, printing speed, and layer thickness. The optimization aims to minimize average surface roughness (Ra) indicating the surface quality of benchmarks. In this study, Ra was measured at two positions, the bottom and top surface of benchmarks. For the fabrication, the material used was the Polylactic acid (PLA) filament. A response surface method (RSM), central composite design (CCD), was utilized to carry out the optimization. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was calculated to explore the significant factors, interactions, quadratic effect, and lack of fit, while the regression analysis was performed to determine the prediction equation of Ra. The model adequacy checking was conducted to check whether the residual assumption still held. The total number of thirty benchmarks was fabricated and measured using a surface roughness tester. For the bottom surface, the analysis results indicated that there was the main effect from only one factor, printing speed. However, for the top surface, the ANOVA signified an interaction between the printing speed and layer thickness. The optimal setting of these factors was also recommended, while the empirical models of Ra at both surface positions were also presented. Finally, an extra benchmark was fabricated to validate the empirical model.

Published: May 2022

AbstractThe rapid development of the manufacturing sector has been causing industrial effluents pollution. The practice of environmental regulation in the emerging economy focused on the externalities impact of industrialization. In conjunction with the issue, this study examines the effect of formal and informal regulation on the industrial effluent act and the firm compliance behavior in Malaysia. This quantitative study uses a survey questionnaire (structured) and involved 42 factories of three industries, namely food and beverages, textiles, and paper in Penang, Kedah, and Perlis. The data were analyzed using non-parametric tests: The Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney, and Spearman’s Rho. This study uses the firm behavior theory as the framework, and our non-parametric analyses showed that the traditional enforcement and fined probability could significantly affect compliance levels. We also find the market, consumer, competitor, and investor pressure positively influence firm compliance. The empirical results suggest effective enforcement of environmental regulation and the role of non-regulation must be empowered as a support mechanism for pollution control.

Authors: Bristow Tegan 
Published: May 2022

Bristow poses questions to technological futures through the lens of African cultural knowledge and pre-colonial knowledge systems from a Southern African standpoint. An exploration of practices that run from a reflection through decolonising methodologies as a cultural response to technology and neo-liberalism, to the significant contributions of the insurrectionary and vernacular as knowledge forms. Unpacked in light of the work titled School for Vernacular Algorithms, Bristow explores Indigenous knowledge transfer and the complex structures of intergenerational and technological knowledge as a system made visible through IsiZulu beadwork. In this, Bristow engages communal or egalitarian knowledge systems as an aesthetic algorithmic encounter that questions the origins and futures of contemporary computing and algorithmic thinking.

Caves are extreme ecosystems whose microbiomes are very sensitive to invasion by extraneous microbial species. The entry of such organisms from one cave into another can occur due to anthropogenic transfer, which makes it possible to bypass natural barriers.	The article presents materials on the analysis of microscopic fungi contamination of clothing and equipment after working in caves. It is shown that after visiting the cave Kinderlinskaya and Shulgan-Tash, a significant number of micromycete species settle on clothes and equipment. Twenty-one species of microscopic fungi were found, as well as yeast, light and dark-colored sterile forms. The isolated species correspond to the typical species composition of fungi in a particular cave. Gloves turned out to be the most contaminated. Washing made it possible to significantly reduce the number and species richness of micromycetes on clothes. Thus, following simple rules can significantly reduce the risk of anthropogenic transfer of microorganisms between caves.

OBJECTIVE
Pain is the most common nonmotor symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and is often undertreated. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) effectively mitigates the motor symptoms of this multisystem neurodegenerative disease; however, its therapeutic effect on nonmotor symptoms, especially pain, remains inconclusive. While there is a critical need to help this large PD patient population, guidelines for managing this significant disease burden are absent. Herein, the authors systematically reviewed the literature and conducted a meta-analysis to study the influence of traditional (subthalamic nucleus [STN] and globus pallidus internus [GPi]) DBS on chronic pain in patients with PD.

METHODS
The authors performed a systematic review of the literature and a meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines. Risk of bias was assessed using the levels of evidence established by the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine. Inclusion criteria were articles written in English, published in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal, and about studies conducting an intervention for PD-related pain in no fewer than 5 subjects.

RESULTS
Twenty-six studies were identified and included in this meta-analysis. Significant interstudy heterogeneity was detected (Cochran’s Q test p < 0.05), supporting the use of the random-effects model. The random-effects model estimated the effect size of DBS for the treatment of idiopathic pain as 1.31 (95% CI 0.84–1.79). The DBS-on intervention improved pain scores by 40% as compared to the control state (preoperative baseline or DBS off).

CONCLUSIONS
The results indicated that traditional STN and GPi DBS can have a favorable impact on pain control and improve pain scores by 40% from baseline in PD patients experiencing chronic pain. Further trials are needed to identify the subtype of PD patients whose pain benefits from DBS and to identify the mechanisms by which DBS improves pain in PD patients.
