Introduction. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing, with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) being a major health priority for any public health system. Increased arterial stiffness in patients with diabetes will lead to the appearance of vascular complications. Increased arterial stiffness in patients with diabetes usually leads to vascular complications. Any earlier diagnosis of impaired macrovascular evidence may lead to improved outcomes in patient care. The objective of our study was to assess and evaluate the finger-toe pulse wave velocity (ftPWV), as a measure of arterial stiffness, in order to assist with early detection of macrovascular diabetic complications. Materials and …

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors And Pharmacological Resetting Of The Mind, Ion G. Motofei, David L. Rowland

Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences

Mental activity is capable of processing analytical data (mathematics, physics, socio-political science, philosophy, etc.) similar to computer software. At the same time, mental activity largely depends on the brain, which works like a hard component of a computer. While the computer stores data on a physical medium, mental activity and data are supported by physiological mechanisms that are constantly operating (both in wakefulness and sleep). For this reason, the lack of brain oxygenation even for short periods of time (5-10 minutes) causes the loss of all data, including the disappearance of the individual's existence as a mental entity. This means …

This analysis will provide an understanding of the emission of the carbon black …

Philosophy In Science: Can Philosophers Of Science Permeate Through Science And Produce Scientific Knowledge?, Thomas Pradeu, Maël Lemoine, Mahdi Khelfaoui, Yves Gingras

Presidential Fellows Articles and Research

Most philosophers of science do philosophy ‘on’ science. By contrast, others do philosophy ‘in’ science (PinS), that is, they use philosophical tools to address scientific problems and to provide scientifically useful proposals. Here, we consider the evidence in favour of a trend of this nature. We proceed in two stages. First, we identify relevant authors and articles empirically with bibliometric tools, given that PinS would be likely to infiltrate science and thus to be published in scientific journals (‘intervention’), cited in scientific journals (‘visibility’), and sometimes recognized as a scientific result by scientists (‘contribution’). We show that many central figures …

Development Of A Hybrid Reflective Micro Learning Model Based On Ict In Micro Teaching Courses, Emil El Faisal, Sani Safitri, Puspa Dianti, Dea Lestari, Sulkipani Sulkipani

Jurnal Civics: Media Kajian Kewarganegaraan

This research aims to develop a hybrid reflective micro-teaching model. The research method used is a type of research and development referring to the Borg and Gall R&D Cycle. The research results from reflection sheets indicate that some students could perceive the teaching for themselves. This is evidenced by the correspondence between friend’s assessments and the results of their reflections. However, some students seemed less attuned to what was being taught. Peer observations and reflection on students’ learning indicate a promising potential for improvement in students’ selfassessment. For instance, some students reflected “good” in planning and implementing materials but couldn’t …

Multifidelity Comparison Of Supersonic Wave Drag Prediction Methods Using Axisymmetric Bodies †, Troy Abraham, David Lazzara, Douglas Hunsaker

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Student Publications and Presentations

Low-fidelity analytic and computational wave drag prediction methods assume linear aerodynamics and small perturbations to the flow. Hence, these methods are typically accurate for only very slender geometries. The present work assesses the accuracy of these methods relative to high-fidelity Euler, compressible computational-fluid-dynamics solutions for a set of axisymmetric geometries with varying radius-to-length ratios (R/L). Grid-resolution studies are included for all computational results to ensure grid-resolved results. Results show that the low-fidelity analytic and computational methods match the Euler CFD predictions to around a single drag count (~1.0 × 10^–4) for geometries with R/L ≤ 0.05 …

Experimental Analysis Study Wave Drift Force Of Moored Floating Production Units (Fpu), Arifin Rifliansah, Wibowo Harso Nugroho

Makara Journal of Technology

Drift forces caused by sea waves and currents are an important aspect that needs to be studied in planning moored floating structures, especially Floating Production Units (FPU) type ships which are operated for oil and gas exploration. This study describes the drift forces on the FPU which is subjected to environmental loads in the form of waves. The slow-drift movement that occurs in a moored FPU, and experiencing irregular waves is a very important problem. The complexity of determining drift forces analytically and numerically requires the use of hydrodynamics model test. In the model test on a certain model scale …

High School Acceleration And First-Year College Student Success: Do Advanced Placement Or Dual Enrollment Influence College Persistence Differently, Serge W. Desir Jr.

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The proliferation of Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Enrollment taken by high school students expanded over the past few decades due concerted efforts to make the accelerated mechanisms more available to historically underrepresented groups and to reduce the cost of higher education. Supported by years of research correlating improved first-year college performance to enrollment in such programs, AP and Dual Enrollment also allow students to earn college credit prior to enrolling at post-secondary institutions, further enhanced their appeal. Despite this enhanced popularity, little research has been done on whether there are any indications of different academic outcomes by the accelerated …

In Search Of Rules For Creative Design Process, Kristanti Dewi Paramita

ARSNET

Architecture is driven by a set of rules which governs design actions and practices; which vary depending on the expected design objectives and intentions. The collection of articles in this ARSNET issue provides different perspectives that revisit the manifestation of rules in the design process. This edition highlights how rules do not only apply to form-making in the quest for beauty, nor it is limited to the social and cultural constraints that create a rather fixed and limited design manoeuvre. Through this issue's investigation of rules in design pedagogy and practice across contexts, some new objectives of rules in design …

The Effectiveness Of A Meaning Guidance Program On The Self-Efficacy Of Fencing Players, Adhima Abbas Ali Al-Sultani

Modern Sport

The kinetic performance of a fencing player does not depend only on the physical, skill, and tactical aspects, but rather depends on his ability to use his mind or thinking by achieving a balance between those aspects and the psychological aspect, and then his ability to achieve harmony between the self-efficacy represented, which prompted the researcher to develop a guidance program in this sense and this type. Guidance seeks to make the mentor aware of his commitment and responsibilities while leaving him the freedom to make decisions regarding his perception of himself as a person capable of taking responsibility. Given …
