Abstract

In April to May 2023, the superBIT telescope was lifted to the Earth's stratosphere by a helium-filled super-pressure balloon, to acquire astronomical imaging from above (99.5% of) the Earth's atmosphere. It was launched from New Zealand then, for 40 days, circumnavigated the globe five times at a latitude 40 to 50 degrees South. Attached to the telescope were four 'DRS' (Data Recovery System) capsules containing 5 TB solid state data storage, plus a GNSS receiver, Iridium transmitter, and parachute. Data from the telescope were copied to these, and two were dropped over Argentina. They drifted 61 km horizontally while they descended 32 km, but we predicted their descent vectors within 2.4 km: in this location, the discrepancy appears irreducible below 2 km because of high speed, gusty winds and local topography. The capsules then reported their own locations to within a few metres. We recovered the capsules and successfully retrieved all of superBIT's data - despite the telescope itself being later destroyed on landing., Comment: 12 pages

Abstract

Perioperative acid-base disturbance could be informative regarding the possible slow graft function (SGF) or delayed graft function (DGF) development. There is a lack of data regarding the relationship between perioperative acid-base parameters and graft dysfunction in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. We aim to determine the incidence of graft dysfunction types and the association between them and acid-base parameters.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly accelerated the adoption of telemedicine and digital health technologies, revealing their immense potential in managing cancer patients effectively. This article explores the impact of recent technological developments and widened consumer perspectives on personalised healthcare and patient awareness, particularly in oncology. Smartphones and wearable devices have become integral to daily life, promoting healthy lifestyles and supporting cancer patients through remote monitoring and health management. The widespread use of these devices presents an unprecedented opportunity to transform clinical trials and patient care by offering convenient and accessible means of collecting health data continuously and non-invasively. However, to fully harness their potential, it is crucial to establish standardised methods for measuring patient metrics to ensure data reliability and validity. This article also addresses the challenges of integrating these technologies into clinical practice, such as cost, patient and professional reluctance, and technological oversaturation. It emphasises the need for continuous innovation, the development of robust digital infrastructures, and the importance of fostering a supportive environment to integrate these advancements permanently. Ultimately, the convergence of technological innovation and personalised healthcare promises to enhance patient outcomes, improve quality of life, and revolutionise cancer management in the post-COVID era.

Author

PURCARU Dorina, GORDAN Cornelia Emilia, and PURCARU Ion

Subjects
sinusoidal voltage, synchronous generation method, controllable phase shift, controllable frequency, hardware architecture, Electrical engineering. Electronics. Nuclear engineering, TK1-9971
Abstract

The power system simulator generates the electrical signals for complex protection relay testing. This paper presents a method for generating these electrical signals and its associated hardware architecture, designed to implement a power system simulator. In this paper’s version, the method synchronously generates two sinusoidal voltages, with independent control over 1 degree resolution phase shifts. The waveform of each voltage is reconstructed to meet the accuracy of the sine wave. The hardware structure implementing the method provides a simple architecture, designed to expand the signal generation to multiple voltages. The method and hardware structure presented in this paper have proven their usefulness regarding the power system simulator, as well as for many other applications.

Abstract

Power engineering device testing is based on generating specific electrical signals with controllable parameters in order to simulate operating regimes similar to electric power plant ones. This paper work is focused on a hardware architecture that generates electrical signals with settable parameters, required in testing complex function protection relays. The method used for signal generation, as well as two variants of hardware structures based on this method are presented. The generated electrical signals are sinusoidal currents and voltages. The common frequency, the root-mean-square value and the phase shift of each signal are settable parameters. The hardware architecture presented in the paper is embedded in the structure of a power system simulator, improving its performance compared to a previous version.

Abstract

Inclusive education represents one of the most challenging aspects of modern education. In recent years, a major challenge in achieving inclusivity in education has been to find modern tools that might adapt the teaching process to the needs of children with disabilities. This article investigates the possibility to use virtual reality (VR) technology to improve the learning process of children with disabilities. In this regard, a qualitative study based on the Focus Group method was conducted among 31 specialists who work with children with disabilities, with the aim of identifying potential opportunities and limits of using VR technology in the education of this category of children. The research results reveal that for most of the interviewees the VR application was a new experience; they appreciated that this technology could improve the educational process for children with disabilities and it could become a useful tool to support the education of such children. These results could have a positive impact on the activities carried out by policymakers, academia, and the economic environment in their efforts to implement policies aimed at improving the inclusive education system. To this end, some VR applications could be developed in a collaborative system involving IT companies and universities in the designing and implementation of these applications.

Abstract

Improving the informed consent process in clinical research is of constant concern to regulatory authorities in the field and presents a challenge for both the specialists and patients involved. Informed consent is a process that should adequately match the complexity of clinical research. In analyzing the behaviour of 68 patients during the informed consent process related to the clinical research performed at Neomed Clinical Center in Brasov, we found that many patients do not ask any questions (35.3%). From those who do, part of the questions (20,6%) referred to general aspects (addressed the form but not the gist) of the clinical trial, some (72,8%) referred to specific aspects of the clinical trial they will attend and others (6,6%) unrelated to the clinical trial. These results suggest a lack of interest, awareness, and understanding of the information presented in the informed consent form. The possible underlying causes of this attitude and its bureaucratic, ethic, and legal implications are discussed.

Abstract

The association of the term ‘educational’ to the term ‘marketing’ generates a specialized domain, by applying methods, politics and marketing strategies in the area of education. Due to the cultural, social and complex role of the education, educational marketing represents a part of the services marketing, the social marketing and the non-profit organizations. By offering mandatory educational services, financed from the state budget, the school units, through their activity, respect the principles of social marketing, regardless of the financial benefits that result from the provision of these services. This article aims to place educational marketing below the conceptual level in the field of service marketing; the reference works in the field of educational marketing are not many, a consequence of the fact that this is a new field.

Abstract

In this article, the authors set out to study the behaviour of book consumers in Bucharest. The decision problem is represented by the major changes in the book market, which have led to a decrease in demand for books in physical format, largely influenced by digitalization and the economic crisis. The quantitative-descriptive research was conducted online, on a sample of 224 respondents. The instrument used was a questionnaire consisting of closed, open, dichotomous and multichotomous questions. The results of the study show that although Romanians are book lovers, book purchase is ranked last on the list of consumer priorities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

24. THE LINK BETWEEN HEART RATE VARIABILITY AND ENDURANCE IN SWIMMING

Author

Mircea Purcaru, Sabri Jari, and Silvia Teodorescu

Abstract

Heart rate variability is a relatively new measurement in sport that can predict sport performance. Unfortunately, it is underused because usually it is not simple to measure it. In the last years, because of the increase of the investment in sport, many companies tried to make different devices to make this measurement easier. In this study, for 21 days, 10 elite swimmers aged between 12 and 14 years old were observed. All the swimmers are experienced ones, being ranked in the first 2 places at Romanian National Championships in at least one swimming event. In this period, they performed 3 endurance tests, at a 10-day interval. The endurance test consisted of a 30 minutes continuous swimming at maximum speed, these tests being named T-30. Heart rate variability was measured in every morning, right before practice, on the swimming deck. For this measurement was used a very easy to use device, iThlete, a photoplethysmography which was attached to a mobile phone. The time needed for measurement is only 55 seconds and the value is very easy to interpret. The link between swimming endurance and the heart rate variability measurement was interpreted. The results showed us that heart rate variability influenced the results in swimming endurance with a p-value

Abstract

This paper presents a modern and efficient solution for the implementation of the hydrogenerator overcurrent protection with minimum voltage blockage. The digital equipment which implements this solution is organized around an embedded system and provides facilities for on-line monitoring of hydrogenerator electrical parameters and post-failure analysis. The protection implementation supposes parameter configuration, editing the logical function of the overcurrent protection with minimum voltage blockage, assignation of relays in the monitored process and setting time delays. The used digital equipment generates one recording at each protection triggering. The analysis of experimental results confirms the advantages of the presented solution for implementing this protection.

Abstract

A 71-year-old woman presented 2 weeks after vaccination with the first dose of Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca, Oxford) for COVID-19 with a left lower motor neuron facial nerve palsy, which progressed to bilateral involvement. This was accompanied by bilateral proximal leg weakness. She was diagnosed with the ‘facial diplegia with paraesthesia’ variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome. Seven weeks post vaccination she developed painless loss of vision in the right eye. The visual acuity in that eye was light perception only with a right relative afferent pupillary defect and right optic disc swelling. A diagnosis of optic neuritis was made and she received pulsed intravenous methylprednisolone for 3 days, followed by oral prednisolone. The optic neuritis recurred following initial cessation of steroids requiring an extended course of steroids. Despite this, she made a good visual recovery to 6/6 in the affected eye. We present this case and a review of the literature surrounding vaccination and the development of these conditions.

Abstract

This paper shows how to implement several complex protection functions for synchronous hydrogenerators using PC-05/104 digital equipment. PC-05/104 also performs the monitoring and visualization of the voltages and currents rms values and phase shifts, active and reactive powers, and the recording of many functional parameters before and after each breaking caused by one or more protections. This digital equipment contains interfaces which enable the local, respectively remote monitoring, visualization, and parameter setting. The software design for the implementation of complex protection functions implies three software applications (associated with the PC-05/104 equipment, for the user local interface, and for the remote monitoring) all detailed in this paper. An example of the parameter configuration for one protection is also shown.

Abstract

Glioblastoma (GB) is highly vascularised tumour, known to exhibit enhanced infiltrative potential. One of the characteristics of glioblastoma is microvascular proliferation surrounding necrotic areas, as a response to a hypoxic environment, which in turn increases the expression of angiogenic factors and their signalling pathways (RAS/RAF/ERK/MAPK pathway, PI3K/Akt signalling pathway and WTN signalling cascade). Currently, a small number of anti-angiogenic drugs, extending glioblastoma patients survival, are available for clinical use. Most medications are ineffective in clinical therapy of glioblastoma due to acquired malignant cells or intrinsic resistance, angiogenic receptors cross-activation and redundant intracellular signalling, or the inability of the drug to cross the blood-brain barrier and to reach its target in vivo . Researchers have also observed that GB tumours are different in many aspects, even when they derive from the same tissue, which is the reason for personalised therapy. An understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating glioblastoma angiogenesis and invasion may be important in the future development of curative therapeutic approaches for the treatment of this devastating disease.

Abstract

The paper analyses how some types of postmodern art have been used as a means of copying by the aid of humour with the unpleasant restrictions and changes of the way of life during the emergency and alert states in Romania. Artă Reinterpretată is a Facebook page that offers posts on various aspects of life during the pandemics quarantine and lockdown, including isolation or exploiting love, couple and family difficulties; during the relaxation measurement and, finally, during rights restriction for those whom do not have The Green Covid Card. It does so by reinterpreting classical paintings, by adding to them a text or an image or both and thus creating a humourist situation meant to ease upon the hardships of a situation we cannot change.

Abstract

Signals acquired from an industrial environment with many sources of electromagnetic interferences may be polluted by white noise. Polluted data segments with many steady consecutive periods can be used (sometimes unsuccessful) for the estimation of a denoised period from the steady acquired data by using the mean signal method. For data segments with at least 4 periods, when only certain segments (shorter than a period) can be considered steady, hybrid algorithms can be used to automatically evaluate the power of noise and afterward to perform the noise removal by using wavelet thrashing trees. This paper deals with 2 additional denoising techniques. The 1-st one is based on the Wavelet Package Transform and allows for the separation of the noise components which pollute a data segment of at least one period. The second approached denoising technique is also addressing one period data segments and estimates firstly the power of noise by using the energies of the vectors of details from the first 2 levels of a tree used by decompositions with the Stationary Wavelet Transform. The estimated power of noise is afterward used to establish the number of levels in the wavelet thrashing trees. In this last stage, two wavelet mothers were used. Simulated and real test signals were used and performance comparisons were performed.

Abstract

The briquette porosity is a quality characteristic known to be important for combustion analysis, heat and mass transfer processes during combustion stages, determination of effective thermal conductivity or other related properties. This paper describes a method to quantify the briquette porosity by some surface roughness parameters that can be useful for alternative, inexpensive and at hand evaluations. Porosity of briquettes manufactured with a hydraulic press from waste wood from secondary processing was calculated with three methods suggested in the literature for wood; of these, one was adapted here for a wet porosity model (called “general relation”) proposed for wood briquettes. Briquettes density was obtained by using two stereometric methods and a liquid displacement method. Correlations were examined between porosity, surface roughness parameters and density of briquettes. Very strong correlations with surface roughness were identified for porosity calculated with all three methods, when density was measured by one of the stereometric methods. These correlations can serve as a method to indirect evaluation of the briquettes porosity by assessing the surface quality.
