description: An impact instrument for delivering an impulse to an object. The impact instrument may include an impact surface for contacting the object and an elongated member extending from the impact surface that terminates in an end. The elongated member may include a grasping region in the vicinity of the end. When the instrument is grasped within the grasping region, the center of percussion of the instrument preferably coincides with the impact surface. The instrument may also contain a pivoting grasping member disposed on the elongated member. A cavity is preferably formed between the grasping member and the elongated member and may contain compressible material. The grasping member may rigidly contact the elongated member at an ideal pivot point. The grasping member is preferably adapted to pivot with respect to the elongated member at the ideal pivot point. The pivoting of the grasping member preferably increases the amount of impulse delivered to an object, decreases vibration experienced by the user of the instrument, and reduces counter-rotational forces imparted from the instrument to the user. The impact instrument may be a hammer, ax, golf club, tennis racket, or similar device.

(Figg. 79-81)
Materiale tipico: Holotypus , Peru, Umg. Tarapoto, leg. H. Franz (MHMW).
Descrizione:
Lunghezza 2,8 mm. Corpo lucido e giallo-rossiccio, elitre bruno-rossicce; antenne brune con i tre antennomeri basali e base del quarto giallo-rossicci e decimo e undicesimo giallo-chiari; zampe giallo-rossicce con femori gialli. Punteggiatura del capo e del pronoto poco evidente. Granulosità delle elitre saliente e fine. Angolo posteriore interno delle elitre sollevato. Bozza mediana posteriore sul secondo urotergo libero del maschio, terzo con spigolo longitudinale mediano, quinto con carena mediana saliente. Edeago figg. 80-81.
Comparazioni:
L’edeago della nuova specie è simile a quello di H. fassli BERNHAUER, 1920, della Colombia (serie tipica da me esaminata). I due antennomeri apicali della nuova specie sono giallo-chiari, mentre in fassli il decimo antennomero è bruno e l’undicesimo rossiccio. L’angolo posteriore interno delle elitre del maschio è saliente nella nuova specie e ornato di una lunga spina in fassli. L’armatura genitale interna dell'edeago della nuova specie è esile rispetto quella di fassli che è robusta.
Etimologia: La nuova specie prende nome di «apice bianco». L’apice bianco è quello delle antenne.

Sound propagation in dilute Bose gases
Creators: name: Ota, Miki
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2020

description: In this doctoral thesis, we theoretically investigate the propagation of sound waves in dilute Bose gases, in both the collisionless and hydrodynamic regimes. The study of sound wave is a topic of high relevance for the understanding of dynamical properties of any fluid, classical or quantum, and further provides insightful information about the equation of state of the system. In our work, we focus in particular on the two-dimensional (2D) Bose gas, in which the sound wave is predicted to give useful information about the nature of the superfluid phase transition. Recently, experimental measurement of sound wave in a uniform 2D Bose gas has become available, and we show that the measured data are quantitatively well explained by our collisionless theory. Finally, we study the mixtures of weakly interacting Bose gases, by developing a beyond mean-field theory, which includes the effects of thermal and quantum fluctuations in both the density and spin channels. Our new theory allows for the investigation of sound dynamics, as well as the fundamental problem of phase- separation.

description: INTRODUCTION


Tobacco consumption is one of the most significant avoidable health risk and cause of premature death globally.     
Smoking in the workplace represents a potential combination of health risks due to the interactions of tobacco use and professional exposure. Occupational Health Professionals can aid in health promotion of workers and improvement of workplace environment. 
This study aims to analyze the prevalence of smoking and its determinants among healthcare workers and equated subjects at the Ospedale Policlinico San Martino IRCCS of Genoa, Italy.


METHODS


An observational, cross-sectional study was performed using demographic and clinical data. It involved a total workforce of 1561 Health Care Workers (HCW), medical residents and healthcare students. We focused on the medical visits performed from July 1 to December 31, 2023.
All statistical analy­ses were performed using SPSS statistical software vers. 26.0 (IBM Corp.).


RESULTS


In the studied population, 24.7% of participants reported being current smokers. The univariate analysis showed an association between smoking and several demographic and occupational variables such as different professional categories and occupational risks. At the multivariate analysis physicians and professions with exposure to chemical hazards showed reduced odds of smoking, while increases in alcohol consumption were associated with increased probability of smoking.


CONCLUSIONS


These results highlight a concerning prevalence of smokers among HCW. An up-to-date epidemiological picture on health habits and behaviors may provide a baseline on which targeted interventions can be implemented, considering not only modifiable lifestyle factors but also work-related risk factors to effectively tackle the magnitude of the phenomenon.

description: A simple and rugged sheathless interface for capillary electrophoresis/electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (CE/ESI-MS) was designed using common laboratory tools and chemicals. The interface uses a small platinum (Pt) wire which is inserted into the CE capillary through a small hole near the terminus. The position of the wire inside the CE capillary and within the buffer solution is analogous to standard CE separation operations where the terminus of the CE capillary is placed inside a buffer reservoir along with a grounded platinum electrode. By combining the use of the in-capillary electrode interface with sharpening of the fused silica tip of the CE capillary outlet, a stable electrospray current was maintained for an extended period of time. The design was successfully applied to CE/ESI-MS separations and analysis of mixtures of peptides and proteins. A detection limit of approximately 4 femtomole (S/N=3) was achieved for detection of myoglobin utilizing a 75 μm-i.d. aminopropylsilane treated CE column and using a wide scan range of 550-1350 Da. The advantages of this new design include: (1) a stable CE and ESI current, (2) durability, (3) a reduced risk of sparking between the capillary tip and the inlet of the mass spectrometer, (4) lack of any dead volume, and (5) facile fabrication with common tools and chemicals.

description: Introduction  Dengue is a vector-borne viral disease that causes a million of cases every year (including deaths). It is available a tetravalent live-attenuated virus vaccine for this infection. The aim of our study was to analyze vaccine acceptance, attitudes and behaviors among travelers directed to areas with risk of dengue.


Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study in February – April 2024, at the Travel Medicine Clinic of Rozzano, Italy. We collected several information from adult travelers directed to areas at risk of Dengue. As well as, we registered  the other vaccines that they accepted or refused and the antimalarial prophylaxis.


Results 58 travelers were included in our study: they chose 23 countries for their travel and the average length of stay was 16.98 days. Five (8.62%) refused dengue vaccination. 80% of these travelers, refused because considered the vaccination not necessary, 20% for its cost. No one refused for fear of side effects. There was no statistically significant difference between men and women in vaccination acceptance. Age and length of stay did not influence the percentage of refusal.


Conclusions Vaccine hesitancy among travelers could be an important problem and further efforts should be done to limit this phenomenon.

description: Introduction. Breast cancer is a major worldwide health concern that affects women in both developed and developing nations. The purpose of the study is to assess Pakistani women with breast cancer’s present understanding of breast self-examination (BSE) as well as their choices for traditional and non-conventional breast cancer treatment options.


Methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out in two hospitals’ cancer departments as well as homoeopathic and nutritional clinics in Lahore, Pakistan. The data for the present study was collected from January to June 2023.


Results. A total of 296 responses were obtained. The study findings showed that most participants had little knowledge about BSE and were using multiple treatment options without informing their healthcare provider.


Conclusion. Breast cancer awareness is crucial for early detection, education about risk factors, and proactive fitness management. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) might cause problems when used with allopathic medicines, especially if healthcare professionals are not adequately informed about its concomitant use.

description: Background: Decayed Missing Filled Index is the universal index of choice to record dental caries however, it is unable to estimate the severity of dental caries. The Caries Assessment Spectrum and treatment (CAST) Index is a new index which can be used to distinguish the intensity of caries.


Aim: To ascertain dental caries  using CAST index and to compare the association of CAST index with DMF Index values attained using CAST index in adults.


Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional survey recorded dental caries using CAST index in adults.30.6% of adults experienced tooth loss and 32.3% recorded caries lesion advancing to dentin. 29.5% of adults had  lesion attacking  pulp but the gender predilection was insignificant. Caries severity in adults worsened with increasing age with significant association (p< 0.00). Scarcely 7.3% had undergone restorative care owing to dental caries. 


Conclusion: The CAST index provides all-inclusive knowledge with regard to caries severity and transient shift in oral health in adults

description: Abstract

Introduction. This retrospective analysis aims to follow the course of SARS-CoV-2 infections in pediatric population residing in Liguria, Northwest Italy, from March 2020 to December 2022 and to relate it to the regional and national containment measures adopted, to assess the representativeness of the infection rate observed at the national level and to analyze the vaccination rates in different pediatric groups.

Methods. First episodes of SARS-CoV-2 infections registered in the national surveillance system were extracted and further anonymously analyzed for subjects aging £ 19 years. The absolute number of cases diagnosed daily during each year was compared to the number of residents in the region and graphical representations were used to visualize the trends in infection rates both annually and weekly in each year. Through narrative analysis, the relationship between changes in IR and key social events was analyzed.

Applying the direct standardization method, the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pediatric population was compared with that observed in the same age group in Italy.

All analyses were performed using Stata and Microsoft Excel.

Results. In the study period, 106,537 (17.4%) cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection were registered in subjects £ 19 years, out of a total of 610,404 cases reported in Liguria during that period. In the summer of  2020 the IR was close to zero, while later we observed increases and decreases in the IR in relation to activities and social restrictions adopted. Direct standardization showed an almost perfect coincidence between the expected cases in Italy, based on the Liguria incidence, and the observed cases.

Conclusions. Our results show that, in absence of effective therapies and vaccines, strict non-medical interventions (e.g. use of masks, improving indoor ventilation, physical social distancing, general lockdown) can be the only actions to counter the spread of a respiratory infection.

Examination of particle/particle interactions and their impact on rheology and mixedness of an alumina/titania system
Creators: name: August, Cari R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: In the manufacturing of ceramic particulate composites, improved manufacturing efficiency means two things, ease of production and increased performance.  The effect of mixedness on the rheology of alumina-titania blends has been evaluated.  Alumina and titania starting powders that have been examined ranged in particle size from nanoscale (50-200 nm) to micron scale (1-5 μm).  Nano and micro-alumina powders have been combined individually with macro and micro-titania powders to determine how the nano/micro structure affects rheological properties and the mixedness of the final blended compositions.  The effects of varying the mixing and processing techniques used to create the compositions; such as ball milling, wet mixing, high shear mixing, and varied mixing time, has been analyzed. The effect of varying surfactant additions (sodium stearate) on the mixedness and rheology of the alumina-titania blends has also been evaluated.  The range of surfactant concentrations covers the measured adsorption limits of the particles in the blend, allowing sodium stearate to act not only as surfactant, but also as bulk lubricant.Rheological evaluation of these blends included torque, dynamic stress, and capillary rheometry.  Dynamic stress rheometry measures and compares the viscous modulus and the shear modulus of a blend, allowing determination of its dynamic yield stress.  Capillary rheometry was used to evaluate the extrusion pressures of the alumina-titania batches, for analysis with a Benbow-Bridgewater model, yielding information on extrusion wall stresses and extrudate bulk strength.  The mixedness was evaluated by SEM-EDS method, which created a compositional map of a cross-sectional area of extrudate for distributional evaluation by nearest neighbor and standard deviation calculations.  It was found that the use of nano-alumina and macro-titania increased processing requirements such as mixing energy and extrusion pressure, but produced extrudates with minimal flaws.  Powder blends with macro-alumina and nano-titania were found to have desirable processing requirements with lower extrusion pressures and mixing energies, but produced extrudates with large flaws.  Powder processing was found to have minimal impact on extrudate rheology but large impact on extrudate flaws.  Powder blends with shorter processing times were found to have fewer flaws than those with longer mixing times or multiple extrusions.

description: The present three-part study investigated the links between cognitive complexity, message processing, and extremity of attitudes. The focus of the first two studies was to create and validate a self-report measure of cognitive complexity. The development of a reliable and easy to administer instrument will further clarify the investigation in the area of cognitive complexity and message processing. In Study 3, social judgment theory was utilized to provide a theoretical framework for examining the relationship between cognitive complexity, message processing and outcome variables. Study 3 used a repeated measure design with two weeks between pre- and posttests. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the eight different experimental groups, varying by topic (alcohol vs. sleep) and message evidence (narrative vs. statistical; two message replication each), with a control group. The project concluded with analysis of the performance of the new measure and the potential role of cognitive complexity in health message design. The results confirmed previous findings that cognitive complexity is not a static trait variable, but rather a function of the interaction of psychological, contextual, and environmental variables. In addition, results from this study indicated that although message evidence types do not have a direct impact on attitudes and behaviors, some do affect message perception variables. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
