description: Approved diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) depends on the golden-standard of molecular detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, hematological parameters play a pivotal role in the diagnosis and progress of the disease. This case report of a 51-year-old COVID-19 Iraqi male patient, showed the presence of reactive lymphocytes in his peripheral blood film. Although the presence of these cells was regarded as a hallmark in certain viral infections, this was a striking feature in comparison with coronavirus family infections other than caused by SARS-CoV-2. This hematological finding can play a role in COVID-19 diagnosis as a feasible, rapid, and cheap tool, especially in low medical resources countries. CONCLUSION; This case emphasized the importance of blood film examination as an important hematological parameter in the diagnosis of COVID-19. Atypical lymphocytes in blood film may accompany other diseases such as viral infections, hyper immunization, or underlying hematological malignancies; therefore, it is important to recognize and report these cells, which could be due to illnesses other than COVID-19. Apart from other hematological findings during this pandemic, detection of these cells can be a valuable feature. Despite many new observations in the era of COVID-19 challenging health services across the world, this finding may support the disease diagnosis. Further studies are needed to confirm the presence of atypical lymphocytes as a hallmark in COVID-19.

description: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, progressive, and ultimately fatal form of the broader condition pulmonary hypertension. ESC/ERS guidelines recommend therapy targeting the prostacyclin pathway for patients not achieving low-risk mortality status. Currently, only oral selexipag (OS) and oral treprostinil (OT) have this mechanism of action and are available in the United States (US). A recent database analysis has shown significantly lower hospitalization risk for patients treated with OS versus OT. Nevertheless, differences in hospitalization and treatment costs among PAH patients taking oral prostacyclin pathway agents (PPAs) in the US healthcare system remain unclear. This study aims to estimate the difference in costs for patients who achieve a stable maintenance dose from a US payer perspective. We developed a cost calculator including direct medical costs from the US third-party payer perspective to estimate PAH-related hospitalizations and costs associated with oral PPA use over 2 years, in a hypothetical US payer plan with 1 million members. The treatment-eligible population was estimated from real-world epidemiological data. Treatment-specific hospitalizations were estimated from a study using the Optum Clinformatics administrative claims database. Influence of each model parameter was tested in one-way sensitivity analyses (OWSA), while scenario analysis tested the impact of key assumptions. For 78 PAH patients included in the model, the base case scenario estimated total costs of $46,736,768 with 98 PAH-related admissions for OS, and total costs of $60,113,620 and 161 PAH-related admissions over 2 years for OT. Using OS was associated with 22.3% cost reduction and 39.1% hospitalizations averted; the number of patients needed treated with selexipag to avoid one hospital admission was 1.23. OWSA indicated medication cost was the most sensitive parameter, followed by population parameters. OS use over 2 years would result in lower total, drug, and hospitalization-related costs compared with OT, thus providing financial savings for payers.

description: Prototyping ist fester Bestandteil des User-Centered-Design-Prozesses und Grundlage für Innovationen, insbesondere im Kontext neuartiger Technologien (z.B. VR, AR, IoT). Die Wahl spezifischer Prototyping-Methoden erfolgt jedoch häufig wenig systematisch, was ihren Wirkungsgrad vermindert. Für den effektiven Einsatz von Prototypen in der Unternehmenspraxis ist es zentral, jeweilige Rollen der Stakeholder, welche mit dem Prototyp arbeiten oder in Kontakt kommen, wie z.B. Designer, Entwickler oder Kunden, und deren spezifische Belange zu berücksichtigen. Der Beitrag diskutiert Einsatzziele von Prototypen (z.B. Kommunikation, Exploration, Evaluation) entlang verschiedener Design- und Entwicklungsphasen. Zur Unterstützung der Wahl des passenden Prototyps werden typische Stakeholder in Form von Protoyping-Personas beschrieben. Grundlage für diese Arbeit liefern Erhebungen in verschiedenen Unternehmen innovativer Technologiedomänen im Rahmen des BMBF-geförderten Verbundprojekts ProFI.

Es wurde untersucht, inwieweit die Konzepte der Non- und Quasimodalität von Jef Raskin die Gestaltung von menschzentrierten UIs für die berührungslose Mensch-Roboter-Interaktion (MRI) begünstigen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Entwicklungsprozess für neue Arten der Mensch-System-Interaktion, wie der berührungslosen MRI, durch die Anwendung der Konzepte von Anfang an und auf einer fundamentalen Ebene unterstützt wird. Die Durchführung und Auswertung von Usability-Tests bestätigte, dass sowohl das quasimodale als auch das non-modale UI eine hohe menschzentrierte Qualität aufweisen und die Anwendung der Konzepte Modus-Fehler in der Interaktion weitgehend vermeidet.
ANALYSIS OF PARAMETERS OF DRILLING AND BLASTING PROCESSES IN OPEN PIT MINING AT MINING ENTERPRISES
Creators: name: Bayramova, Minevvar
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This paper describes models adapted to geological modeling to improve the operating costs and efficiency of drilling and blasting processes in open pit mining, as well as to improve the efficiency of drilling and blasting processes in some mining operations. The objectives are to reduce the number of blast holes dug in open pit mining and the accidental access to the geological boundary of the mine. These goals come from an economic point of view, since the cost, firstly, is directly proportional to the number of drill holes, and secondly, it is related to the efficiency of recovery of the target material associated with excavation and blast damage. 'liq. Problem formulation is therefore an incentive to learn more about lithology and drill less. A major problem in creating an accurate surface model is that the sedimentary rock mass is usually coarsely sampled by drilling widely spaced exploratory holes. Thus, interpolation does not adequately capture local variations in the underlying geology. With the recent advent of real-time consistent and reliable detection of geologic boundaries using borehole measurement data in open pit mining, we posed the problem of local model estimation in an adaptive sampling system. Proposed Selection The Mining Drilling and Blasting Efficiency Strategy consists of two phases. Open pit mining relies on expert forecast geology and drilling at a predetermined distance from the interested geological boundary to optimize blasting and minimize damage.

Hierbei geht es nicht um organisatorische Probleme (keine Zeit, kein Budget für Incentives) sondern darum, wenn die Anwendergruppe auf Grund spezifischer Charakteristika (Krankheit, Emotionale Belastungszustände) nicht erreichbar ist. Im Bereich der Evaluierung von Medizinprodukten stellt sich diese Frage häufig, zumal gesetzlich vorgeschrieben ist intendierte Anwender einzuladen. Mit Hilfe eines Persönlichkeitsfragebogens und weiterer Anforderungen wurde eine Methode entwickelt, um sogenannte Surrogate Probanden zu finden, welche dann stellvertretend aber dennoch repräsentativ für die eigentliche Anwendergruppe an Usability Tests teilnehmen kann.

description: Immortelle (Helichrysum italicum) essential oil is one of the most valuable essential oils with its commercial importance and favorable characteristic properties in various cosmetic products and food products. Current research performed a comprehensive characterization of Immortelle essential oil using powerful and robust analytical techniques. The relative volatile composition of the Immortelle essential oil from Turkey was determined by GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) technique. Thirty-eight volatile compounds were identified. Average total phenolic content and DPPH radical scavenging activities (IC50) were determined as 54.24 mg GAE/mL essential oil and 0.27 mg/ml, respectively. FTIR and Raman spectroscopy fingerprints were determined for chemical characterization. The thermal profile was obtained by DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) analysis. The Immortelle essential oil (12.5 μg/mL) inhibited the growth of Caco 2 adenocarcinoma cells at the ratio of 48% without any deterioration in healthy L929 fibroblast cells according to the cytotoxicity analyses.

Im empirischen Teil werden die Zusammenhänge zwischen den spezifischen Lebens-umständen, Erlebnissen und der Entfaltung der „hybriden Identität“ während der Migration aufgezeigt. Es wird bewusst keine Generalisierung vorgenommen. Die Erfahrungen und die subjektive Wahrnehmung der Betroffenen sind für die Wissenschaft von Bedeutung. Diese Arbeit möchte dazu einen Beitrag leisten, um die Vielfältigkeit der Umgangsmög-lichkeiten sowie Erschwernisse als auch Hilfestellungen für MigrantInnen besser verstehen zu können. Um die psychosoziale und soziokulturelle Sicherung der Integration während des Migrationsprozesses zu gewährleisten, ist es nötig, adäquate unterstützende Institutio-nen sowie soziale Netzwerke vom Staat aufrechtzuerhalten und jedem zugänglich zu ma-chen.
description: My thesis deals both with migration and identity. It focuses on elder women of Polish de-scent who have talked in a “face-to-face interview” about their lives as migrants and their cultural identity. Everyday life has influenced their values and norms and caused them to mix with other norms and values. And this has changed their feeling of identity. The empirical chapter of my thesis outlines the correlations between specific living condi-tions of a migrant, experience she has made and the development of a “hybrid identity” while being on migration. It was my very purpose to avoid any generalisation in my thesis. It is crucial for scientific studies to take into account a migrant’s personal experience and point of view. The aim of my thesis is to outline all the different approaches to this topic, problems that migrants have to face and different ways of providing help for them. In order to guarantee psycho-social and sociocultural support of integration during the migration process we need to foster appropriate institutions and national social networks that are available for everyone.

description: Großprojekte sind aufregend und spannend. Vor allem dann, wenn ein mittelständisches, technisch orientiertes Unternehmen wenig Großprojekt-Erfahrung hat und auf keine langjährige Partnerschaft mit UX-Agenturen zurückgreifen kann. Wie wird ein solches Projekt trotz der vielen Risikofaktoren zum Erfolg und überzeugt Stakeholder und Management von UX-Prozessen und -Denkweisen?

Linda Schmidt, Leiterin des UX- und Industrial-Design-Teams bei ifm, und Michael Jendryschik, Head of UX bei MA-XIMAGO, berichten in diesem Beitrag von ihren Erfahrungen aus der Konzept- und Entwicklungsphase des bereichsübergreifenden Software-Großprojekts „ifm I4.0 suite“: Beginnend bei der ursprünglichen Idee werden das Vorgehensmodell AIM sowie die Vor- und Nachteile des User-Centered-Design-Prozesses beleuchtet. Außerdem beschreibt der Beitrag die Zusammenarbeit ihrer Teams und beantwortet die Frage, wann Pragmatismus wichtiger als Vollständigkeit ist.

description: Im Jahr 1675 veröffentlichte der sefardische Drucker David de Castro
Tartas in Amsterdam das 1652 verfasste Lied איין שין נייא
ליד / וואש צו האמבורג איז גישעהן [Ain sche̍n
neiʼ lid / waś zu Hamburg is gėschehe̍n]. Dabei handelt es sich um
eine westjiddische Liedflugschrift im Oktavformat, bestehend aus vier
Folio, also acht Seiten (inklusive Titelblatt). Diese Flugschrift
existiert weltweit in zwei Kopien: in der Bodleian Library
(Universität Oxford) und in der Bibliotheca Rosenthaliana
(Amsterdam). Solche kleinen Flugschriften waren in der frühen Neuzeit
sehr gebräuchlich: Sie konnten relativ günstig hergestellt werden
und erreichten dadurch ein großes Lesepublikum. Amsterdam war eines
der Druckzentren westjiddischer Literatur, die dort produzierten Werke
wurden im gesamten aschkenasischen Raum vertrieben. Der Autor des
Liedes gibt sich als ein gewisser Ezechiel (Jeḥaskʼel) zu erkennen.
Er war Sohn eines professionellen Schreibers. Über sein Leben ist
sonst nichts weiter bekannt, eventuell lebte er in Amsterdam. Jedoch
zeugt das Lied davon, dass Ezechiel die Verhältnisse in Hamburg und
Altona sehr gut kannte. Ob er von den Ereignissen aus zweiter Hand
erfuhr oder sich selbst einige Zeit dort aufhielt, bleibt ungeklärt.
Der Autor dieses „historischen Liedes“ wünschte, dass man seinen
Text auf die Melodie von „Einstmals, da ich Lust bekam“ singen
solle, ein im 17. Jahrhundert recht bekanntes Lied.

description: In the present work, chemical composition, enzyme inhibitory activities, and molecular docking studies of essential oil (EO) of Knema globularia leaves collected from Vinh Phuc Province, Vietnam, were investigated. The EO from the leaves of K. globularia was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The leaf EO yield was 0.14 ± 0.01% (w/w), comprising 39 identified components, constituting 96.77% of the EO content. Notable constituents included β-caryophyllene (54.11%), α-humulene (12.67%), and (E)-β-ocimene (8.82%). Enzyme inhibitions were assessed via the α-amylase inhibitory assay (IC50 = 282.71 ± 10.06 μg/mL) and tyrosinase inhibitory assay (IC50 = 993.92 ± 37.40 μg/mL). The molecular docking method has been employed to observe valuable binding interactions and binding energy with the main compounds on the target enzymes α-amylase and tyrosinase. Caryophyllene oxide exhibits the strongest affinity with α-amylase among the other major compounds. Meanwhile, viridiflorene shows the best binding energy with the tyrosinase enzyme. This is the first study providing valuable scientific data on the in vitro inhibitory activities of α-amylase and tyrosinase enzymes of the leaf EO of K. globularia and evaluating its main compounds through a molecular docking approach on these enzyme targets.

description: Eucalyptus is a fragrant plant with a highly volatile oil content grown worldwide. This study investigated the phytochemical and biological features of two Eucalyptus species, E. camaldulensis and E. globulus, cultivated in Central Saudi Arabia. Phytochemical analysis revealed 17 compounds in E. camaldulensis and 13 in E. globulus, with α-pinene and 1,8-cineole being both plants’ most abundant volatile components. The antimicrobial activity revealed that Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 13311 and Candida albicans ATCC 10231 are the most susceptible to E. camaldulensis, with the zone of inhibition diameters (ZIDs) of 17.0 ± 0.2 mm and 22.0 ± 0.3 mm, respectively. In contrast, for E. globulus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans ATCC 10231 were the most susceptible, with ZIDs of 13.0 ± 0.2 mm and 20.0 ± 0.2 mm, respectively. E. camaldulensis had minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) range from 1.56 to 12.5 μL/mL, minimum biocidal concentration (MBC) range from 3.125 to 25.0 μL/mL, minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) range from 3.125 to 25.0 μL/mL, and minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) from 6.25 to 50.0 μL/mL, while E. globulus had MIC range from 3.125 to 12.5 μL/mL, MBC range from 6.25 to 25.0 μL/mL, MBIC range from 6.25 to 25.0 μL/mL, and MBEC range from 12.5 to 50.0 μL/mL, for the tested organisms. E. camaldulensis demonstrated better antimicrobial activity than E. globulus against the tested organisms, making it a promising antimicrobial drug candidate. Further research is required to determine its effectiveness in treating different human infections.

description: Abstract

Humor competence encompasses the ability to comprehend, generate, and adeptly employ humor in communication, acknowledging cultural and linguistic subtleties. It is a pivotal skill in language acquisition, facilitating social integration, comprehension, and cultural immersion. Mastering humor competence enables learners to not only grasp jokes and linguistic nuances but also utilize humor as a means to convey thoughts, foster relationships, and gain insight into language and culture. Comprehending and creating humour in a second or foreign language is intrinsically challenging, even for highly proficient learners (Bell, 2007; Vega, 1990). The spontaneous conversation is characterized by its intricate structure, which includes a combination of different sorts of humour that have overlapping meanings or purposes and are indicated by both verbal and non-verbal signals. English language learners must comprehend various aspects, including grammar, vocabulary, implications, social background, and proper circumstances for humour in English speech. Nevertheless, humor in natural interaction is vital for socialization, negotiations, and even workplace success. Not many English as a second language (ESL) or English as a foreign language (EFL) textbooks and programs, however, offer systematic training in this area of pragmatics (Claire, 1984). Thus, a growing number of ESL/EFL teachers and researchers are beginning to investigate and document ways to teach humor competence in cross-cultural communication (Lucas, 2005; Rucynski, 2017; Rucynski & Prichard, 2020). Thereafter, this paper attempts to investigate the perceptions of humor language with special reference to English as a second language among graduate students of Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. The researcher developed a set of well-defined questionnaires and distributed them among the graduate students from various departments to have their genuine responses on humour language. Through this, the study tries to understand the theoretical underpinnings which lay the groundwork for English as a second/foreign language learner to accommodate humour competence in their respective classrooms.
