The Relationship between ASD Symptomology, Performance, Experienced Problems and Benefits in Problem Based Learning (PBL) Curricula
Creators: name: De Groot, Kristel
Publisher: name: Student Undergraduate Research E-journal!
Year: 2015

description: The attention for supporting students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) at university has recently grown. However, no research to date has looked into the fit between ASD and a specific form of education, Problem-Based Learning (PBL). The current study uses a newly developed questionnaire that focuses on the four elements of PBL: constructive, self-directed, collaborative, and contextual learning. The questionnaire showed to be highly reliable. Although higher ASD symptomology predicted reported experience of more problems and fewer benefits of PBL, these experiences were not accompanied by lower grades. This indicates that ASD students benefit from working in PBL.

description: The theoretical description of poly(3,4-dimethylpyrrole) cathodic electrodeposition in alkaline media, assisted by in situ formation of manganate-ions MnO42- as oxidizing agents, intercalated into a polymer layer modifying a cathode, has been made. The system has been described by means of linear stability theory and bifurcation analysis. The stable steady-state in this system has to be established rapidly and efficiently, but the changes in DEL during the electrochemical synthesis may affect the polymer morphology. The electrochemical instabilities in this system are less probable than for anodic electrodeposition, but more probable than in the case of the presence of the initiant in the solution.

description: Heavy metals are present in liquid effluents due to different industrial activities. Their presence in high concentrations constitutes an embarrassment for receiving environments, and strongly impacts water resources which, in a context of scarcity and climate change that exacerbates it, must be protected and safeguarded. This has prompted the implementation of numerous remedial measures, such as reducing the quantities of raw materials used, and curatives measures in order to reduce the nuisance. The object of this work is the removal of nickel from the effluent of an electroplating unit by precipitation with sodium hydroxide. The expected aim is firstly to minimize metallic pollution in order to discharge treated waste to meet the standards for indirect discharges into the municipal sewerage network or to reuse them in the industrial unit for other needs such as washing the workshops, washing the aerosol-filled air in the varnishing workshop, etc., and on the other hand, adding value to the precipitate in other industrial sectors. The tests were carried out in a batch reactor on industrial effluent solutions. They gave a nickel removal efficiency about 100%. The sludge resulting from the precipitation has been characterized by X-ray diffractometry. It consist essentially of nickel hydroxide II, in the form of β-Ni(OH)2 structure.

description: Salinity is one of major abiotic factors inhibiting forage yield in many regions of Morocco. This study focused on the assessment of the behavior of Moroccan alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) under salt stress. The experiment was carried out in the field at the experimental station of the National Institute for Agronomical Research (INRA)-Saâda, Marrakech. Four Moroccan populations, Adis (PO1), Tata (PO2), Demnate1 (PD1) and Demnate2 (PD2) were used and one Australian variety Siriver (T) as reference. The trial received 120 mM NaCl, three successive cuts were adopted and several traits related the agronomical potential under stress were assessed. Results showed that the salt treatment significantly reduced growth and forage yield, with significant variation between the studied genotypes. However, PO1 and PO2, the oasis populations presented the lowest dry matter reductions of 14.4% and 17.6% respectively under stress. Indeed, they presented the highest relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll (Chl) and total soluble sugars (TSS) contents as well as the highest nitrogen (N) content in their leaves. Thus, these populations were qualified as more salt tolerant than Siriver and the mountains populations (PD1 and PD2) and may constitute useful plant material for genetic breeding.

description: Recent experiments have led to the discovery of the blue whirl, a small, stable

flame that evolves from a fire whirl, and burns typically sooty hydrocarbons without

producing soot. The distinct physical structure of the flame is investigated through

digital imaging techniques, which suggest that the transition and shape of the flame

may be influenced by vortex breakdown. The thermal structure of the blue whirl reveals

a peak temperature around 2000 K, and that most of the combustion occurs in a

relatively small, visibly bright vortex ring. The formation of the flame is shown to occur

over a variety of surfaces, including water and flat metal, all of which indicate that the

formation of the blue whirl is strongly influenced by the flow structure over the

incoming boundary layer. Finally, a schematic structure of the blue whirl is proposed,

based on the measurements presented here and previous literature on fire whirls and

vortex breakdown.

description: Using solid fillers to make composite materials in an additive manufacturing process has been extensively studied but there is no research on incorporating immiscible liquids in the process. To study this, a unique die was built which had a wall profile based on a hyperbolic equation and imposed constant extensional rate at the centerline. The deformation seen by a droplet of Castor oil immiscible in Silicone oil matrix was studied for various positions of injection into the channel using high speed imagery. Droplets injected at the center of the channel did not see any significant deformation while the droplets injected at an offset position stretched and reached the affine state. CFD simulations confirmed the existence of a strong shear effect closer to the walls. The results from this research will aid in understanding liquid filler behavior in a polymer flow and helps in incorporating liquids in polymer based additive manufacturing.

description: Heavy metals contamination Sources are released into the environment by both natural and anthropogenic sources, industrial activities, especially mining and automobile exhausts (for lead), where are washed away by run-off into surface waters, thereby resulting in soil pollution and subsequently groundwater pollution. The main aim of this paper is to determine the levels/concentration of some heavy metals such as (Copper(Cu2+), Cadmium(Cd2+), Selenium(Se4+), Mercury(Hg2+), Arsenic(Ar2+), Lead(Pb2+), Zinc(Zn2+), Cyanide(CN-), Aluminum(Al3+) and Boron(B3+)) in groundwater of Dhamar basin and to compare the result obtained with (WHO) standards. The obtained result of more samples showed that ((Copper(Cu2+), Cadmium(Cd2+), Selenium(Se4+), Mercury(Hg2+), Arsenic(Ar2+), Lead(Pb2+), Zinc(Zn2+), Cyanide(CN-)) were within the permissible limit except one water sample (Well 4). the contamination of the last one is due to the effluent of Dhamar WWTP. On the other hand, a high concentration level of Aluminum(Al3+) and Boron(B3+) is found in all samples were higher than the permissible limit set by WHO. The obtained results show that all water samples are potable and can be safely used for both drinking except one water sample (Well 4(.

Subjects: Transient cooling, Quenching process, Agitation, PIV Measurements.

description: During quenching process, metallurgical transformations and field of residual stresses are controlled by the cooling speed of the metallic piece. It is obvious that agitation of the bath matters thus all the industrial processes are using agitated bath in the quenching process. Actually the first role of the agitation is removing the vacuum film from the vicinity of the metallic piece. This agitation supposedly also contributes to the enhancement of convective heat coefficient, however the enhancement depends on the size and properties of the metallic piece. It is shown that the cooling process is predominated by convection in the cases of massive and/or resistive metallic pieces (Biot number higher that 10), by contrast, in the cases of thin and/or very conductive pieces, boiling is the main cooling phenomenon. This study focuses on the characterization of the fluid flow depending on the agitation system which can be a pump or a turbine. It is shown that those flows are drastically different. So the results of this study should help in better designing of the agitation systems considering the metallic piece to be treated.

Subjects: Regional anesthesia, regional techniques, focus group, delphi process

description: Introduction
The use of Regional Anesthesia techniques has gained increasing popularity. There are few data about conditions affecting education, attitudes and limitations for regional techniques use. The purpose of this study was to know the current practice of Regional Anesthesia in Portugal and to determine the factors affecting its application among the Portuguese Anesthesiologists.

Methods
The “Practice of Regional Anesthesia Questionnaire” was designed using a focus group, a Delphi process and a pilot test. The 32 items were divided into four scores: motivation, advantages, training and barriers. Groups of specialists in Anesthesia for more or less than 10 years, members of a Regional Anesthesia Society and paediatric experience were studied. The questionnaire link was sent by e-mail to Portuguese hospitals with training programs.

Results
190 Anesthesiologists answered the questionnaire. Younger  anesthesiologists achieved higher scores on advantages. Members of a Regional Anesthesia Society were more motivated and exhibit more versatility in Regional Anesthesia. 52% of responders didn’t execute regional blocks in children due to inadequate training. The majority of the responders didn’t believe that Regional Anesthesia delays the starting times of surgeries or the time for discharge from a post-anesthesia care unit.

Discussion and Conclusion
Most Portuguese Anesthesiologists were motivated and interested in Regional Anesthesia. The main reported limitation was inadequate training. Training programs must be implemented so that regional techniques become a competency of every Anesthesiologist. This study may function as a benchmark for future assessment of the Regional Anesthesia practice and for evaluation of the implemented measures.

Subjects: Nanofluids; homogenization method; thermal conductivity.

description: In this work, the prediction of the effective thermal conductivity of nanofluids has been performed using the homogenization method. Indeed, the main idea of this approach is to characterize the effective thermal conductivity from a microstructural description of the heterogeneous nanofluid and the knowledge of the local behavior of constituents (fluid and nanoparticles) using the homogenization process. Predicted values of the effective thermal conductivity of Al2O3-water nanoﬂuidwere confronted with those obtained by experimental approach and also by applying some theoretical models. These comparisons show good agreement between the predicted, theoretical and experimental values. The maximum deviations remain lower than 3.7%.

description: A monitorização da oximetria cerebral faculta, de forma não invasiva e em tempo real, informação contínua acerca da oxigenação cerebral. Apresentamos um caso de paragem cardíaca, sem resposta às manobras de suporte avançado de vida após indução anestésica, obrigando a entrada emergente em circulação extracorporal, sempre sob monitorização de oximetria cerebral. Neste caso, os valores da oximetria cerebral desceram instantaneamente com a paragem cardíaca, subiram com as manobras de ressuscitação convencionais e voltaram para os valores  próximos dos iniciais com a entrada em circulação extracorporal. A monitorização da oximetria é um indicador útil durante episódios de paragem cardiorrespiratórioa, não só para monitorização da qualidade das manobras de ressuscitação, assim como para identificação de períodos vulneráveis ao desenvolvimento de lesão neurológica. No entanto é ainda difícil definir valores preditivos de recuperação da circulação espontânea assim como valores preditivos de um bom outcome neurológico após paragem cardiorrespiratória.

As recomendações foram aprovadas com o apoio da Sociedade Portuguesa de Anestesiologia, num trabalho nacional interdisciplinar entre especialistas de anestesiologia, cirurgia geral, endocrinologia, psiquiatria e nutricionismo.

O número de obesos tem vindo a aumentar mundialmente. A cirurgia da obesidade é atualmente considerada o tratamento mais eficaz, quer a nível de perda de peso quer no controlo de patologias associadas. O acompanhamento do doente, no período peri-operatório, deve ser efetuado por uma equipa multidisciplinar. A informação prestada aos obesos, a otimização das suas condições médicas e a avaliação do risco peri-operatório são determinantes para a conduta anestésica e redução da morbilidade, com consequente diminuição do tempo de internamento. As técnicas poupadoras de opióde e o uso de fármacos de curta duração de ação ou facilmente reversíveis dão opções vantajosas.

description: We study a scattering problem for the Helmholtz equation in 2D, which involves non-parallel open waveguides, by means of the halfspace matching method. This method has formerly been applied to periodic media and homogeneous anisotropic media, and we extend it to open waveguides. It allows the reformulation of the Helmholtz equation in an exterior domain to a set of equations for particular traces of the solution, reducing the overall dimension of the problem by 1, making it accessible for numerical discretisation. We show the well-posedness of the halfspace matching method for a model problem in the exterior of a triangular domain, assuming the presence of absorption. Furthermore, we introduce a numerical discretisation which allows the realisation of transparent boundary conditions by a system of coupled integral equations. To illustrate the practicality of this method, we study a number of optimisation examples involving junctions of open waveguides by means of material optimisation.

description: Thermal sprayed coatings have a crucial role for protection of surfaces against high temperature, wear, erosion and corrosion. They are built up by successive accumulation of thin layers, called splats, generated by impact and solidification of individual molten particles. However, the coatings properties such as adhesion strength and adherence to the substrate are strongly influenced by the presence of micro-cracks or interfacial debonding resulting from the relaxation of stresses generated within the coating. In this paper, a numerical simulation based on the Finite Element Method is carried out to analyze in a first time the thermo-mechanical process of the formation of the first splat, initially molten ceramic particle, deposited onto a metallic substrate. In a second time, the obtained results are used as initial conditions to predict the residual stress induced during deposition of the splat. The effect of substrate initial temperature on the stress generation is also analyzed and the results show that the residual stress can significantly be reduced when the substrate is preheated.

description: In order to help independent small dairy farmers in Moroccan rural areas to store their milk at appropriate temperatures, five different refrigeration systems were designed to cool cows’ milk before it is collected by the dairy milk factory. Three different technologies were used in these designs: photovoltaic, concentrated solar, and hybrid systems that include wind and/or conventional generators. Theoretical calculations and simulations have been made in order to determine the appropriate sizing of each design, as well as the best combinations to generate the appropriate energy needed. The comparative study was made for four different regions in Morocco that have different global irradiation. The study also includes a financial analysis and comparison between the five different systems. The best energy efficient and cost-effective design are the photovoltaic designs that have a payback period of approximately three years.

Subjects: Obesidade; Cirurgia Bariátrica; Perioperatório

description: Introdução: A cirurgia bariátrica (CB) é um tratamento eficaz nos casos de obesidade mórbida. O seu sucesso não se restringe ao ato cirúrgico mas está dependente de uma abordagem multidisciplinar. O objetivo foi caracterizar os Centros de Cirurgia Bariátrica (CCB) relativamente ao volume da atividade cirúrgica, organização dos centros e procedimentos perioperatórios adotados. Material e Métodos: Foi distribuído, por via digital, a todos os CCB nacionais, um inquérito sobre dados referentes à cirurgia bariátrica. Resultados: O inquérito obteve uma taxa de resposta de 100% (10 centros). A maioria dos CCB, 73%, tinha um protocolo de CB. Todos os centros funcionavam com equipas multidisciplinares e em 46% havia anestesiologistas dedicados à CB. Apenas 7 CCB utilizavam modelos de avaliação de risco. Patologia do sono e tromboembolismo venoso eram rastreados por rotina em 91% dos centros. Em todos os centros os doentes cumpriam 6h de jejum pré-operatório. A posição de rampa era usada em 64% dos CCB e CPAP era usado em 54%. Na monitorização, o BIS e o TOF em 91% dos centros. O Remifentanil e o Desflurano eram os fármacos escolhidos na manutenção anestésica. Técnicas poupadoras de opióide eram utilizadas em 82% dos centros. Após CB, os doentes são admitidos em UCPA em 64% dos centros. Apenas 36% dos centros avaliam os doentes no pós-operatório. Discussão e Conclusões: Alguns tópicos necessitam ser otimizados para ir ao encontro das orientações emitidas pela DGS. O crescente volume e as particularidades perioperatórias da CB, tornam evidente a necessidade de estabelecer recomendações nacionais.

title: Predictors of Cognition Across the Menopausal Transition: A Multigroup Structural Equation Modeling Approach
Creators: name: Minto, Alexia Renée
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2026

description:
The menopausal transition is known to bring considerable changes to the physical and mental health of many women. The hormonal cascade during menopause is associated with cognitive and mood disturbances and can amplify preexisting vulnerabilities for cognitive decline. However, there is variability in the literature about the extent to which menopause is linked to cognition in women. Biopsychosocial factors related to the menopausal transition and cognitive decline may account for this variability. Additionally, racial disparities in the experience of menopausal and its related symptoms, many of which impact cognitive health, suggest the relationships among biopsychosocial factors, menopausal status, and cognition may differ for women from different ethnoracial backgrounds; however, there is a dearth of research about these relationships in diverse samples. Using a multiple-group structural equation modeling approach, the present study investigated how changes in biopsychosocial functioning that are prominent for women in midlife interact with menopausal status to influence cognitive performance in a sample of 1,221 women. Additionally, this study examined differences in the relationships among biopsychosocial factors, menopausal status, and cognition between Black and White women. Results revealed that menopausal status was related to cognition, but the effect was no longer significant when models accounted for demographic variables including age. Higher depressive symptoms and worse sexual functioning were significantly associated with worse cognition, but these factors did not significantly interact with menopausal status. For premenopausal women, greater vascular burden was associated with better cognition, with an effect in the opposite direction for early perimenopausal women. Furthermore, for Black postmenopausal women, greater vascular burden was associated with better cognition. This contrasts with a significantly negative relationship between vascular health and cognition for Black early perimenopausal women and White women in the early peri- and postmenopausal groups. Overall, biopsychosocial factors tended to have stronger relationships with cognition for Black women. Future studies should more rigorously study these relationships with objective measures, more comprehensive cognitive testing, and in more diverse populations over time.

description: Non-Point Source (NPS) pollution is an important issue in the Chesapeake Bay areas of the northeastern U.S. The TMDLs established by the Environmental Protection Agency requires a reduction in sediments, nitrogen and phosphorus by preset amounts, by 2025. One approach to meeting these requirements is to implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) for NPS pollution control. BMPs are most effective when implemented on areas named Critical Source Areas (CSAs) that contribute excessively to the pollutant load relative to their spatial extent. Studies have shown that climate change may have significant influence on the hydrology and water quality variables, and can therefore influence CSA identification in the future. In this study, six climate models were used for the evaluation of the hydrologic response of a suburban watershed in Maryland. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used for the model development, driven by the future climate from six models in four scenarios RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6.0 and RCP8.5. Surface runoff, total suspended solids, total nitrogen and total phosphorus at the watershed outlet and on-land were assessed for two time horizons, mid-century and end-century. The simulations showed a significant increase of yields in all variables both in-stream and on-land among all models/scenarios/periods. CSAs identified using a relative threshold (eg. Top 20% of HRUs) did not vary markedly as climate was changed. However, CSAs identified using a fixed threshold increased substantially in area under future climate. Overall, results demonstrate the potential impacts of climate change on watershed hydrology across six models, and suggest that CSA identification based on relative threshold is most robust against future variability.

description: The flow produced by counter-rotation of the top and bottom disks in a truncated conical enclosure, filled with a liquid metal and submitted to an axial magnetic field, is studied. The bottom and top disks rotate in the opposite direction with different constant angular velocity Ω. The governing Navier-Stokes, and potential equations are solved by using the finite-volume method. It has been found that the external magnetic field suppresses the fluid motion and causes a transition to axisymmetric flow. It is also found that the primary thresholds Recr corresponding to the modes m=1, increase with increasing of the Hartmann number (Ha). Finally, stability diagram (Re-Ha) has been established according to the numerical results of this investigation.

description: A doença de Charcot-Marie-Tooth (DCMT) é uma neuropatia hereditária caracterizada por fraqueza muscular, originando deformidades, diminuição de reflexos profundos e déficits sensitivos. Na DCMT os cuidados incluem terapia de reabilitação e cirurgias para correção de deformidades esqueléticas.   Paciente masculino, 17 anos, portador da DCMT tipo 2, admitido para artroplastia total de quadril esquerdo. A anestesia planejada foi a venosa total alvo controlada e bloqueio de nervos periféricos guiados por ultrassonografia. A indução anestésica foi realizada com remifentanil e propofol. Não foi utilizado nenhum relaxante muscular.  O  despertar foi tranquilo e sem dor. A dor foi avaliada pela Escala Visual Analógica nas 6, 18 e 24 horas após o procedimento.   A técnica de anestesia venosa total alvo controlada livre de relaxantes musculares e halogenados associada a bloqueio de nervos periféricos guiado por ultrassonografia tem se mostrado segura em pacientes portadores da DCMT.

description: Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) are one of most popular materials in nanotechnologies due to its favorable properties, such as biodegradability and high mechanical performance. However, their nano-/microscopric structure is not fully understood. In this thesis, we studied the structural features of CNF by using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and then assessed the dimensions of single fibers from different wood species. We studied the dependence of cellulose nanopaper strength and toughness on the size of cellulose fibers using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Interestingly, we found that both the strength and toughness increased as the fiber aspect ratio increased. Additionally, stability tests of carbon nanotubes and cellulose nanofibrils (CNT-CNF) solution were conducted by rheological measurement. The solution showed high stability and no visible precipitation. Based on these properties, we fabricated functionalized nanostructured films from CNF and observed promising results from the novel materials.
