Opis:
Background. Due to the lack of evidence, the positive and negative experiences of companions of COVID-19 patients during their communication with medical staff in COVID-19 hospitals were explored. Material and methods. This research study encompassed a cross-sectional analysis of 437 companions of COVID-19 patients. Results. The patients’ diseases were: mild (34.55%), moderate (27.92%), severe (20.14%), and critical (17.39%). The most prevalent comorbidities were cardiovascular disease (16.7%), obesity (16.48%), endocrine and metabolic disorders (14.42%), and smoking (13.73%). Out of the total of 437 patients included in the study, 23.80% died. The study revealed that 79.63% and 71.40% of companions had regular communication with the medical staff, and received relevant and sufficient information about the patients’ medical conditions, respectively. Regarding mental health, 34.55% of companions reported fear of COVID-19 infection at the hospitals, and 66.59% expressed fear of patients’ death. A considerable percentage had conflicts with medical staff. They expressed satisfaction with the healthcare and treatment and were informed and medical staff were available on need. The hospital environment was quiet, but not in terms of psychological well-being. Conclusions. Most companions were satisfied with treatment procedures at the COVID-19 hospitals, but a percentage were affected by ambient noise and other patients’ fear.
Wprowadzenie. Biorąc pod uwagę brak stosownych danych, przyjrzano się pozytywnym oraz negatywnym doświadczeniom bliskich towarzyszących pacjentom chorującym na COVID-19 przyjętych do szpitali zajmujących się leczeniem tej choroby w kontekście komunikacji z pracownikami ochrony zdrowia zatrudnionymi w tych szpitalach. Materiał i metody. Opracowanie stanowi przekrojową analizę przeprowadzoną na próbie bliskich 437 pacjentów chorujących na COVID-19. Wyniki. Przyjmowani pacjenci cierpieli na łagodną (34,55%), umiarkowaną (27,92%), ciężką (20,14%) i krytyczną (17,39%) postać choroby. Najczęściej występującymi chorobami współistniejącymi wśród pacjentów były choroby układu krążenia (16,7%), otyłość (16,48%), zaburzenia endokrynologiczne i metabolizmu (14,42%) oraz uzależnienie od tytoniu (13,73%). Spośród 437 pacjentów objętych badaniem 23,80% zmarło. Wyniki badań wskazują, że 79,63% bliskich pacjentów regularnie kontaktowało się z pracownikami ochrony zdrowia, 71,40% otrzymywało stosowne i wyczerpujące informacje na temat ich stanu zdrowia. Z punktu widzenia zdrowia psychicznego, 34,55% respondentów wspomniało o obawach przed zakażeniem COVID-19 w szpitalach, 66,59% obawiało się śmierci przyjętych do szpitali pacjentów. Znaczący odsetek bliskich pacjentów wszedł w różne konflikty z personelem szpitali. Ponadto respondenci opisywali zadowolenie z opieki, jaką szpitale otoczyły pacjentów oraz z zastosowanego leczenia, a także z dostępności pracowników ochrony zdrowia w razie potrzeby. Spokój i cisza panująca w szpitalach nie sprzyjała dobrostanowi psychicznemu badanych. Wnioski. Większość bliskich pacjentów była zadowolona ze sposobu leczenia stosowanego w szpitalach zajmujących się COVID-19, jednak część z nich doświadczyła hałasu w otoczeniu oraz odczuwała wpływ strachu i lęku innych pacjentów.

Opis:
Antibiotics are used for postsurgical wound healing purposes but unfortunately, resistance against them demands some alternatives for quick recovery. Sepsis of wounds is a challenge for medical as well as veterinary professionals. Nanoparticles have significant advantages in wound treatment and drug resistance reversal. This study was conducted to appreciate emerging alternates of antibiotics like zinc oxide nanoparticles and plant extracts in topical application. Zinc oxide is considered a good wound healer and its nanoparticles are easy to access. So, the efficacies of zinc oxide nanoparticles and sweet flag plant extract ointments were tested to compare modern and traditional therapeutics as sweet flag is considered a pure medicinal plant. Rabbits were selected for this study due to the healing properties of their skin. Wounds were inflicted on the thoracolumbar region and treated for 29 days post-surgically daily with normal saline and the ointment of zinc oxide nanoparticles and sweet flag extract ointment, prepared in a hydrophilic solvent. Wound shrinkage was observed daily and histopathological analysis was made and results were compared. Zinc oxide nanoparticles ointment showed the most satisfactory results for every parameter included in the study. No side effects of its topical application were observed. Healing was normal without any complications. The preparations of zinc oxide nanoparticles may help in the era of antibiotic resistance as topical drugs in the future.

Opis:
All over the world, highway traffic is increasing rapidly, as is the population and the road network. The country’s maximum and minimum temperatures also vary greatly. Moreover, the pavements are subjected to various types of damage. Pavement binders and mixtures are a constant area of research and development for scientists and engineers. Adding fibers to bituminous mixes may improve the properties of fatigue and strength of the material. Natural fibers may be used to improve asphalt mixtures performance due to their inherent compatibility with asphalt cement and excellent mechanical properties. Also, the high stone content and relatively high asphalt content in SMA mixture led to the occurrence of drain-down of the asphalt mastic from the mixture, and this problem requires the use of stabilizing additives such as cellulose fibers, mineral fibers, or polymers to mitigate this problem and ensure long-term performance. The most public sort of stabilizing additives is cellulose fiber. Overall, natural fibers in stone mastic asphalt mixes are discussed in this paper. An additional focus is on how asphalt concrete will be affected by natural fibers, mixing techniques, and managerial decisions. According to the review, the stabilizing and strengthening impact of natural fibers on the performance of asphalt mixes have been extensively researched. Natural fibers can significantly increase the rut and flow resistance of asphalt mixtures. Adding natural fibers to pavement can increase structural resistance to pavement distress.

Opis:
Road traffic deaths continue to rise, reaching 1.35 million in recent years. Road traffic injuries are the eighth leading cause of death for people of all ages. Note that there is a wide difference in the crash rate between developed and developing countries and that developed countries report much lower crash rates than developing and underdeveloped countries. World Health Organization reports that over 80% of fatal road crashes occur in developing countries, while developed countries account for about 7% of the total. The rate of road crashes in developing countries is higher than the global average, despite some measures reducing deaths over the last decade. Numerous studies have been carried out on the safety of urban roads. However, comprehensive research evaluating influential factors associated with rural crashes in developing countries is still neglected. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how factors influence the severity of rural road crashes. In the present study, rural roads in Mazandaran province were considered a case study. The Crash data collected from the Iranian Legal Medicine Organization covers 2018 to 2021, including 2047 rural crashes. Dependent variables were classified as damage crashes and injury-fatal crashes. Besides, independent variables such as driver specifications, crash specifications, environment specifications, traffic specifications, and geometrical road specifications were considered parameters. The logit model data indicate that factors associated with driver and crash specifications influence rural crashes. The type of crashes is the most critical factor influencing the severity of crashes, on which the fatal rate depends. The findings suggested that implementing solutions that minimize the effect of the factors associated with injury and death on rural roads can reduce the severity of crashes on rural roads that share the same safety issues as the case study. Further studies can also be conducted on the safety and mechanics of the vehicle by focusing the research on the types of vehicles and the sources of the damage.

Opis:
The Basrah province (southern of Iraq) was interested in establishing desalination plants to provide drinking water due to the high levels of salinity in its water resources. This work was carried out in order to evaluate and simulate the functionality of the reverse osmosis plant in the Al-Maqal port. From the field and laboratory measurement, this study concluded that the considered parameters of product water by reverse osmosis (RO) plant were within the Iraqi standard (IRS) limits. The calculation of operation indices showed that the recovery rate of plant (72%) and the permeate flux of plant (20 lmh) was within for limitation of brackish surface water. In turn, the plant has a low salt rejection (90.1%) and a high pressure drop (5 bar); therefore, the membranes require backwashing or chemical cleaning. Then, the performance of RO membrane was simulated by the Winflows software. The best operating parameters were identified. The coefficient of determination (R2) between simulated and measured TDS was 0.83. Therefore, the simulated TDS of permeate multiplied by 5.3 was given a good estimation for actual TDS within acceptable an error rate of 17%.

These transforms are used to get analytical solutions for the time fractional heat conduction equation (TFHCE) with the regularized Hilfer-Prabhakar derivative associated with heat absorption in spherical coordinates. Two cases of Dirichlet boundary conditions are considered by obtaining an analytical solution in each case. The effect of the parameters of the regularized Hilfer-Prabhakar derivative on the heat transfer inside the sphere is discussed using some figures.

Opis:
The present study investigates the effect of financial development on sustainable competitiveness and its components (natural capital, resource intensity, and social cohesion) in the Arctic region. We employ bank-based, stock-market based, and composite index to measure financial development. To deal with endogeneity bias, system GMM is utilized. The results show a positive and significant effect of financial development on sustainable competitiveness. The estimates also assert that financial development encourages resource efficiency and social cohesion in the region. In contrast, we find the negative effect of financial development on natural capital. This suggests that overexploitation of natural resources may provide short-term benefits to the local and regional communities but it may threaten the long-term sustainability of the Arctic. Thus, the financial sector should be guided to support financing and investing activities in alternative eco-friendly technologies and ventures for reducing excessive natural resource utilization.
W niniejszej pracy zbadano wpływ rozwoju finansowego na zrównoważoną konkurencyjność i jej komponenty (kapitał naturalny, zasobochłonność i spójność społeczną) w regionie Arktyki. Do pomiaru rozwoju finansowego stosujemy indeksy bankowe, giełdowe i złożone. Aby poradzić sobie z błędem endogenności, wykorzystywany jest system GMM. Wyniki pokazują pozytywny i znaczący wpływ rozwoju finansowego na zrównoważoną konkurencyjność. Szacunki potwierdzają również, że rozwój finansowy sprzyja efektywnemu gospodarowaniu zasobami i spójności społecznej w regionie. Z drugiej strony dostrzegamy negatywny wpływ rozwoju finansowego na kapitał naturalny. Sugeruje to, że nadmierna eksploatacja zasobów naturalnych może przynieść krótkoterminowe korzyści społecznościom lokalnym i regionalnym, ale może zagrozić długoterminowej stabilności Arktyki. Sektor finansowy powinien zatem kierować się wspieraniem finansowania i inwestowania w alternatywne technologie przyjazne dla środowiska oraz przedsięwzięcia mające na celu ograniczenie nadmiernego wykorzystania zasobów naturalnych.

Opis:
Shatt Al-Arab River in Basrah province, Iraq, was assessed by applying comprehensive pollution index (CPI) at fifteen sampling locations from 2011 to 2020, taking into consideration twelve physicochemical parameters which included pH, Tur., TDS, EC, TH, Na+, K+, Ca+2, Mg+2, Alk., SO4-2, and Cl-. The effectiveness of multiple linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) for predicting comprehensive pollution index was examined in this research. In order to determine the ideal values of the predictor parameters that lead to the lowest CPI value, the genetic algorithm coupled with multiple linear regression (GA-MLR) was used. A multi-layer feed-forward neural network with backpropagation algorithm was used in this study. The optimal ANN structure utilized in this research consisted of three layers: the input layer, one hidden layer, and one output layer. The predicted equation of the comprehensive pollution index was created using the regression technique and used as an objective function of the genetic algorithm. The minimum predicted comprehensive pollution index value recommended by the GA-MLR approach was 0.3777.

In this paper, the researchers have investigated the effect of various crises on the development of the Business Continuity Management (BCM) process in Jordanian hospitals. They used the quantitative research design technique to fulfil all the study’s objectives. After that, they also tested whether their hypothesised model could be used for developing the BCM. After distributing question-naires amongst the supervisors working in 7 private hospitals in Amman, Jordan, they collected all the data. Then, they carried analysed and sorted all the data using the SPSS software. The study results showed that the hospitals in Jordan were eager to maintain security and stability in the case of a crisis. Additional statistical tests presented evidence regarding the positive effect of different factors (such as external/ internal crises, natural disasters, operational and strategic risks, and the probability of recurrence of a crisis) on the BCM development in Jordanian hospitals. Here, the researchers have attempted to offer insights and knowledge to help practitioners, academicians and policymakers.
W niniejszym artykule zbadano wpływ różnych sytuacji kryzysowych na rozwój procesu zarządzania ciągłością działania (ang. Business Continuity Management, BCM) w jordańskich szpitalach. Wykorzystano technikę projektowania badań ilościowych. Przetestowano również, czy hipotetyczny model można wykorzystać do opracowania BCM. Dane, uzyskane w wyniku badania ankietowego przełożonych pracujących w 7 prywatnych szpitalach w Ammanie w Jordanii, zostały przeanalizowane za pomocą oprogramowania SPSS. Wyniki badania wykazały, że szpitale w Jordanii dbały o zachowanie bezpieczeństwa i stabilności na wypadek kryzysu. Dodatkowe testy statystyczne dostarczyły dowodów na pozytywny wpływ różnych czynników (takich jak kryzysy zewnętrzne/wewnętrzne, klęski żywiołowe, ryzyka operacyjne i strategiczne, prawdopodobieństwo ponownego wystąpienia kryzysu) na rozwój BCM w jordańskich szpitalach. Autorzy próbowali przedstawić spostrzeżenia i wiedzę, które mogą być pomocne praktykom, naukowcom i decydentom.

Opis:
Explosive reactive armour (ERA) consists of an explosive sandwiched between two metal plates fitted on armoured vehicles to enhance their protection. To defeat an ERA mounted vehicle, its ERA must be neutralized first. A precursor fitted in a TANDEM warhead is used for this purpose in two modes. One is to detonate the ERA and the other is without detonation. This paper presents work performed on the ability of light-weight materials to neutralize the Kontakt-5 ERA without detonation. The precursor performing in this manner is known as a non-initiating precursor (NIP). Eight experiments were performed with aluminium, Teflon® and perspex as liners, against Kontakt-5 ERAs at about 90º and 30º inclination. In five of these experiments, the ERA did not detonate, however in three experiments it did detonated. In all of the experiments the precursor over-performed, producing a prominent hole in the target larger than that predicted by simulation. The over-performance was balanced by decreasing the angle of attack. These experiments demonstrated that an NIP depends strongly upon the ERA as well as on the angle of attack. The overall conclusion from this work is that an NIP is a promising technique to defeat a specific ERA without detonation.

A compact temperature measuring device using a weakly coupled multi-core fibre in the Michelson interferometer structure is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The device is manufactured by an easy and simple splicing approach which consists of a multi-core fibre segment and an in-fibre coupler. In-fibre coupler is made of a cascaded single-mode fibre and multi-core fibre balls. It enhances the interference phenomenon of light nergy between the central core and the outer cores of a multi-core fibre. The sensor shows a high quality fringe visibility of about 14–18 dB in the wavelength spectrum. Multi-core structure presents multi-path interferences and exhibits a maximum temperature sensitivity of 70.6 pm/°C in the range of 20–90°C with an insensitive response to the refractive index in the range of 1.334 to 1.354. The device has the advantages of compact size, easy manufacturing, and it solves cross-sensitivity between temperature and refractive index making it an authentic real-time temperature monitoring solution.

The present work proposes several pre-injection patterns to reduce nitrogen oxides in the Wartsila 6L 46 marine engine. A numerical model was carried out to characterise the emissions and consumption of the engine. Several pre-injection quantities, durations, and starting instants were analysed. It was found that oxides of nitrogen can be noticeably reduced but at the expense of increasing consumption as well as other emissions such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. According to this, a multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model was established to select the most appropriate parameters. Besides, an artificial neural network (ANN) was developed to complement the results and analyse a huge quantity of alternatives. This hybrid MCDM-ANN methodology proposed in the present work constitutes a useful tool to design new marine engines.

Opis:
Selection of appropriate types of collectors as the main basis of flotation can have a significant impact on the process efficiency. In this regard, 2, 5-Dimercapto-1, 3, 4-thiadiazole (DMDT) was introduced as a new collector. And, its performance was compared with the prevalent collector C7240 (a mixture of 10–20 wt% sodium alkyl dithiophosphate and 20–30 wt% sodium mercaptobenzothiozole) and Sodium Isobutyl Xanthate (SIBX) on the flotation of copper sulfide ores. The effect of the reagent dosage (collector and frother) and pH level were studied using a design of experiment (DOE). Results showed effect of factors was significant in the case of copper recovery and grade of product. Consequently, the optimum range of the DMDT was 8 g/t at pH=11.8 in which the maximum grade and recovery were obtained. Also, the application of chemical agents also had a significant effect on flotation performance, so that the result of sequential addition of the collector indicated significantly improved recovery and grade. The use of a combination of collectors resulting in both physisorbed and chemisorbed surface products can also affect the froth structure and influence the final grade achieved. Accordingly, the best route of collector addition was DMDT at first, then C7240, and finally SIBX. Through this offer, the maximum recovery and grade of product were achieved 86.2% and 14.1% respectively. So, DMDT as a mixture of two others has a positive effect on the copper flotation efficiency.

Opis:
The production of ethyl oleate, by homogenous acid esterification of oleic acid with ethanol, have discussed experimentally and via computational simulation in a plug flow reactor. An innovative simulation model has developed to predict the esterification reaction performance in an ideal plug flow reactor. The amount of H2SO4 acid catalyst, the initial molar ratio of alcohol to oleic acid, ethanol concentration, reaction temperature, and esterification time have examined their effects on ethyl oleate production and the conversion of oleic acid. Then the simulation extended to examine the esterification reaction kinetics and determine the reaction rate coefficients. The simulation results demonstrate that the increasing of H2SO4 acid, initial molar ratio of ethanol to oleic acid, ethanol concentration, and reaction temperature improved the productivity of the ethyl oleate and reduced the reactor space-time. The kinetics results illustrated that the reaction sensitivity to the temperature unchanging by using higher ethanol concentration and alcohol to oleic acid initial ratio. Lastly, the experimental yields at different conditions were slightly higher from those simulating with average values of 93.62 and 92.29%, respectively, indicating that the phenomenon of back-mixing cannot be ignored in esterification reactors, especially with a relatively high retention time within the reactor.
