Published: August 2022

Abstract
Despite the increase in vehicle electrification in recent years, the transport sector is still a major contributor to the rise in global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Using dynamic product lifecycle (LC) models, our study analyzes the relationship between lifecycle CO2 (LC-CO2) emissions and the proportion of electric vehicle sales in Japan. We consider the contributions of fuel efficiency and vehicle lifetime to LC-CO2 emissions in three scenarios: changes in sales, improvement in fuel efficiency, and changes in vehicles’ lifetimes. Our findings show that promoting electric vehicles and decarbonization of electricity sector will decrease CO2 emissions from the driving phase. However, even if the energy mix follows the net zero emission target, emissions from the vehicle manufacturing phase will largely remain, and the manufacturing emissions from electric vehicle accounts for more than 50% of total emission in 2050 even in the case of the vehicle lifetime is extended by 5 years. Decarbonization of power sector is effective to reduce driving phase emissions, however it is insufficient for reducing LC-CO2 emissions. Thus, for reducing LC-CO2 emissions including the manufacturing phase, the Japanese government need to focus on the decarbonization of supply chain as well as reducing the driving phase emissions.

Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the surgical and follow-up outcomes in children who operated for aberrant innominate artery.Methods: A total of 15 consecutive patients (12 males, 3 females; mean age 16.3 ± 19.0 months; range 3 months to 6 years) who underwent aortopexy between February 2018 and December 2021 were evaluated. Demographic data, preoperative and postoperative clinical status and postoperative outcomes were retrospectively analyzed.Results: The mean age at operation was 16.3 ± 19.0 months. The median weight was 8.3 kg (range, 7–14.5 kg).There was no complications at intraoperative period.The mean percent degree of tracheal stenosis was 0.68 ± 0.12. The median (range) MV duration, PICU stay, and ward stay of the patients were 2 hours (0–3 hours), 2.5 days (1-4 days), and 5 days (3–8 days), respectively. The mean patients’ number of emergency service applications and hospitalization at the preoperative period was 6.2 ± 3.9 / 2.3 ± 1.6 and, at the postoperative period was 3.3 ± 2.2/ 0.9 ± 0.8. In comparison of the preoperative and postoperative service application number and hospitalization number, there was significant difference (p<0.005 and 0.006 respectively). No reoperation was required. There was no mortality. Conclusion: Aberrant innominate artery is rarely seen. These pathologies misdiagnosis with different reactive airways. Following the diagnosis, treatment can be achieved by surgery successfully.
Effect of the Duration of Membership in the GATT/WTO on Economic Growth Volatility
Authors: GNANGNON Sèna Kimm 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

This article investigates the effect of the duration of membership in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) on economic growth volatility. Using an unbalanced panel dataset of 153 countries over the period 1980-2019, the empirical analysis has revealed that the duration of membership in the GATT/WTO has been associated with lower economic growth volatility, with this negative effect being larger in member states that were subject to rigorous accession procedures than in other member states. More importantly, the membership duration has exerted a larger negative economic growth volatility effect in countries that further upgrade their export products. These findings complement the existing works on the strong positive effect of the membership in the GATT/WTO on economic growth, by shedding light on the importance of that membership (and notably the duration of the membership) for dampening economic growth volatility.
Selection and impact of leading edge on boundary layer transition
Authors: Bhatia Dinesh Devraj , Yadav Devinder , Yang Guangjun , Wang Jian 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The choice of leading edge aspect ratio (AR) plays a crucial role when planning boundary layer experimental wind tunnel tests on a flat plate. Poor selection of the leading-edge profile hampers the effectiveness of the experiment and increases testing costs associated with interchanging of leading edges to attain accurate results. Thus, the appropriate selection of the leading edge is a very crucial part of the wind tunnel experimental process. The authors, in this paper, argue that the curvature of the leading edge and thus the AR are of paramount importance to attain accurate results from wind tunnel testing. In this paper, the authors have tested 7 different elliptical leading edges and compared their performance with an ideal leading edge with zero thickness. Experimental and computational has been presented for leading edges ranging from AR6 to AR20. Results were evaluated for boundary layer transition onset location and it was found that AR20 has the least influence on the flow structure when compared the ideal leading edge. A study of the flow structure at the stagnation point indicates an increase in adverse pressure gradient with an increase in the AR but also a decrease in the size of the stagnation region. The presence of a higher AR leading edge reduces the turbulent spot production rate which is one of the primary causes of boundary layer transition. The authors have presented a correlation which makes it easier for aerodynamicists to quantify the impact of the leading-edge AR on transition. A case is also presented to compare the relative performance of a wedge and the higher AR leading edge which gives potential researchers the choice between an elliptical or a wedge-shaped leading edge.

Published: August 2022

Background:
Globally, thousands of patients suffer from postacute COVID-19 syndrome, a condition that already affects our health system. Although there is a growing literature upon the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection, there are up to date only a few reports on long-term follow-up of pulmonary function after severe COVID-19.

Objective:
To investigate risk factors for in-hospital COVID-19 fatalities and to assess the lung function and health status at one year after hospital discharge.

Methods:
Patients who were admitted to the hospital with confirmed COVID-19 and required supplementary oxygen delivery were included in this observational cohort study. Baseline and demographic data and information about hospital stay were obtained by medical charts. Patients were divided in 3 groups: group 1 (intensive care unit (ICU)-invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), group 2 (high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and/or none-invasive ventilation (NIV) and group 3 (regular oxygen delivery treatment). All patients were required to answer health questionnaires at one year after acute infection, while patients in groups 1 and 2 performed dynamic spirometry.

Results:
The study population consisted of 130 patients. Forty five (35%) patients died at the hospital. Risk factors for in-hospital mortality were age, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and renal disease. We did not find any significant difference in health scales between the 3 groups. Mean values of both FEV1% and FVC% in groups 1 and 2 were detected within the lower normal limits with no difference between the two groups.

Conclusion:
The main result of the study is lung function in the lower limit of normal evaluated at one-year follow-up. There were no significant differences related to initial disease severity in lung function and long-term health status, which suggests that more generous lung function testing even in less severely affected patients, could be indicated.

Published: August 2022

Background
Achieving health goals requires informed decision-making supported by transparent, reliable, and relevant health information. This helps decision makers, such as health managers, to better understand the functioning of their health system and improve their ability to respond quickly to health demands. To achieve this, the health system needs to be supported by a digitized decision-making information system. In Sub-Saharan African countries, inadequate digital infrastructure, including limited internet connectivity and insufficient access to appropriate computer software, makes it difficult to collect, process, and analyze data for health statistics. The processing of data is done manually in this case; however, this situation affects the quality of the health statistics produced and compromises the quality of health intervention choices in these countries.

Objective
This study aimed to describe the conceptual approach of a data production and dissemination platform model proposed and implemented in Gabon. More precisely, it aimed to present the approach applied for the multidimensional analysis of the data production and dissemination process in the existing information system and present the results of an evaluation of the proposed model implemented in a real context.

Methods
The research was carried out in 3 phases. First, a platform was designed and developed based on the examination of the various data production and indicator generation procedures. Then, the platform was implemented in chosen health facilities in Gabon. Finally, a platform evaluation was carried out with actual end users.

Results
A total of 14 users with 12 years of average experience in health data management were interviewed. The results show that the use of the proposed model significantly improved the completeness, timeliness, and accuracy of data compared with the traditional system (93% vs 12%, P<.001; 96% vs 18%, P<.001; and 100% vs 18%, P<.001; respectively).

Conclusions
The proposed model contributes significantly to the improvement of health data quality in Gabon.

<p>Individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) have elevated plasma lipids as well as glucagon, although glucagon suppresses hepatic very low-density lipoprotein-triglyceride (VLDL-TG) secretion. We hypothesize that the sensitivity to glucagon in the hepatic lipid metabolism is impaired in MAFLD.</p>
<p>We recruited 11 subjects with severe MAFLD (MAFLD+), 10 with mild MAFLD (MAFLD-), and seven overweight control subjects (CON). We performed a pancreatic clamp with a somatostatin analogue (Octreotide®) to suppress endogenous hormone production, combined with infusion of low-dose glucagon (0.65 ng/kg/min, t=0─270 min, LowGlucagon) followed by high-dose glucagon (1.5 ng/kg/min, t=270─450, HighGlucagon). VLDL-TG and glucose tracers were used to evaluate VLDL-TG-kinetics and endogenous glucose production (EGP).</p>
<p>HighGlucagon suppressed VLDL-TG secretion compared to LowGlucagon. This suppression was markedly attenuated in MAFLD compared to CON (MAFLD+: 13% (SEM ±5%); MAFLD-: 10% (±3%); CON: 36% (±7%), P < 0.01), with no difference between MAFLD groups. VLDL-TG concentration and VLDL-TG oxidation rate increased between LowGlucagon and HighGlucagon in MAFLD+ compared to CON. EGP transiently increased during HighGlucagon without any difference between the three groups.</p>
<p>Individuals with MAFLD have a reduced sensitivity to glucagon in the hepatic triglyceride metabolism, which could contribute to the dyslipidemia seen in MAFLD patients. </p>

Identification of Characteristic Tire Parameters for the Virtual Steering System Design
Authors: Neumann Dominic , Ahmadi Mustaba , Weinberger Mario , Schramm Dieter 
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT
The virtual design of steering systems requires suitable premises for predicting realistic steering rack forces. This includes the proper tire used for the parking maneuver. It is important to select the tire from a portfolio that generates the highest rack forces at the vehicle, so that the electro-mechanical dimensioning of the steering system can be safeguarded for all tires of a vehicle. To avoid time-consuming and expensive full vehicle measurements, drilling torques of tires are measured on a Flat-Trac to determine the so-called worst-case tire. However, the determined drilling torques do not correlate with the measured rack forces.
This work therefore investigates the suitability of a Kinematics & Compliance test rig converted to a tire test rig. First, it is investigated whether the wheel movements from the parking maneuver can be decomposed into their individual elements on the test bench. In addition, reproducibility studies are carried out and three different methods for determining the aligning torque under camber are presented. Furthermore, measurements for static and dynamic friction values, as well as stiffnesses and the contact patch, are integrated into the new measurement procedure. It becomes apparent that temperature and wear level of the tire play a major role in the reproducibility of the measurements. If the measurement procedure described in this paper is followed exactly, the scatter of the drilling torque can be reduced by up to 24% compared to the old procedure. For the dynamic and the static friction values, the scatter is reduced by about 17% and 22%, respectively. Stiffness scatter can be reduced by up to 16%.
With the new measurement procedure, the worst-case tire can be reliably determined. The drilling torques correlate with the rack forces and the additional tire characteristics permit finer resolution. After evaluation and interpretation, recommendations for future developments are discussed.

The article presents the content, forms and methods of professional development of teachers, psychologists and parents in the field of mental health of preschool children. It has been proven that more factors influence on children’s upbringing and development than congenital one. The study of the main determining role in the mental development of the child is presented in the form of objects and sign system. Harmonious development of children largely depends on their psychic health, so the issue of psychic health formation is still relevant.
Focusing on global mitigation measures and the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapidly changing situation, the entire conversation in the media and in society is focused only on the occurrence of the disease, while a large amount of information falls on children. It has been found that the "transmission" of stress and anxiety by adults in everyday life and social environment to children, with all its changes, can help to cope with difficult situations if parents avoid difficult conversations about feelings and events, expressing concerns.
THE IMAGE OF ONE CHARACTER IN GURGEN KHANJYAN՛S "KILL THE SAVIOR" NOVEL
Authors: MANUCHARYAN KAREN 
Published: August 2022

The article discusses the narrative style of "Kill the Savior" by Gurgen Khanjyan's. With structural method, we presented technical features of one character's perspective. The mode of the story is conditional omniscience of the author limited to the point of view of one character.
The main conflict of the novel is between pagan and Christian worldviews which has been shown for many times in Armenian and world literature. According to Khanjyan, that clash has been modernized to a certain extent and was conducted due to the socio-political transition of independent Armenia. The novel "Kill the Savior" presents the main character Chunak's chain of actions in search of the Savior. Having received an order to kill the savior, Chunak meets various people who, for the most part, convey information about Jesus in a mocking tone. Throughout the action, the Savior never appears in the reader's view. He completely fits into the convention of the missing character. The fact that the Savior is always hidden also contributes to the mystery of his character. In order to present all this more artistically and convincingly G. Khanjyan chose the perspective of one character. The features of that method are consistently preserved throughout the novel.

The article discusses the issue of organization of education in higher educational institutions, particularly in the field of dentistry, and its peculiarities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The analyzes and studies made for this purpose determine the novelty of the article.
COVID-19 was a global significant challenge for healthcare professionals, educational institutions, instructors and students. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic caused trouble in the field of dentistry, both in clinical practice and in education. However, technological capabilities currently allow upgrading teaching methods through the introduction of digital concepts and making distance learning, or online education possible. The COVID-19 crisis also showed that universities appeared not to be ready for a drastic change in teaching methods. Moreover, education around the world used to underestimate the innovative technologies and potential of the Internet in education. The pandemic forced us to reevaluate the methodology of organizing education and apply new tools in this field. In addition, proper application of the methods helps overcome the stress caused by COVID-19. Although remote education is incomplete, it is still foremost solution to provide education in the current situation. The difficulties, arose in clinical practice, were later overcome by introducing online and offline hybrid teaching mode.

Changes in the international wine trade and policies for the promotion of moldovan wines
Authors: Johnbull Ugbo 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
From an economic perspective, the COVID-19 crisis has been an exogenous shock to most local and international markets. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, physical separation (or social distancing) to prevent the spread of the virus has led to feelings of isolation and loneliness, increasing the prevalence of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorders, and insomnia in the population. However, during the lockdown, technological devices have provided a way for people to maintain social connections with friends, family, their social networks, and/or the wider community. This article analyzes the changes on the international wine market and estimates the exports of Moldovan wine, especially in the neighboring region, which includes Romania, Ukraine and Bulgaria to Nigeria, considered a new market and characterized by the lack of traditions in wine consumption.
