Early Mobilization After Anatomical Lung Resection With Thoracotomy
No full textIn the past, patients who underwent thoracic surgery were advised to rest, recover, and save energy, avoiding engaging in tiring physical activity. Postoperative rest-centered management of patients following anatomical resection can cause pulmonary and cardiovascular complications. Inability to cough, not deep breathing, dysfunctional diaphragm, pain and lying down cause lung atelectasis, pneumonia, and respiratory failure. Early postoperative mobilization's effects on mental or physical recovery and morbidity rate are unclear. Although advanced technological developments, thoracotomy is still the main incision for thoracic surgery. Lung resection and thoracotomy reduce the quality of patients' daily ambulatory activities. The exercise was shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. Anxiety, fear, and pain activate the same brain regions. Postoperative early mobilization could reduce anxiety and help to reduce the intensity of pain. Many different procedures that stop bed rest, start mobilization, and the walking distance or number of steps during postoperative the first mobilization are applied in the departments of thoracic surgery. How many meters the patient can walk and how many steps he/she needs to take are variable. Protocols to facilitate and enforce early mobilization would be beneficial. Early mobilization can reduce the rate of postoperative complications and length of hospital. Early mobilization as soon as possible within the first 24 his supported as safe and acceptable in literature.Science Citation Index Expande
Servikal Disk Hernisi Tanılı Hastalarda Yapay Zekâ Destekli Omurga Rehabilitasyonun Genel Sağlık, Anksiyete ve Engellilik Üzerine Etkisi
No full textYapay zekâ destekli omurga rehabilitasyonu, omurganın ihtiyaçlarını analiz ederek, doğru noktalara yönelik özel bir terapi sağlayan yeni bir yöntemdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Servikal Disk Hernisinde (SDH) yapay zekâ destekli akıllı omurga rehabilitasyonunun genel sağlık durumu, anksiyete düzeyi ve engellilik üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmaya 42 SDH tanısı almış kişiler dahil edildi. Katılımcılar randomizasyon yöntemi ile 2 gruba ayrıldı. Kontrol grubuna (KG) 15 seans geleneksel fizyoterapi yöntemi (hot pack, ultrason, TENS ve izometrik egzersiz) uygulandı. Diğer gruba ise haftada 3 gün, toplam 6 seans yapay zekâ destekli omurga rehabilitasyonu (YZDOR) uygulandı. Katılımcıların ağrı şiddetleri numerik ağrı skalası (NAS) ile, genel sağlık durumları Nottingham Sağlık Profili (NSP) ile, anksiyetesi Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği (BAÖ) ile engellilik durumu ise Kopenhag Boyun Özürlülük Skalası (KBÖS) değerlendirildi. Çalışmanın sonucunda ağrı şiddetinin YZDOR grubunda daha hızlı azaldığı tespit edildi (p<0,01). NSP'ne göre fiziksel aktivite, yorgunluk, ağrı ve emosyonel reaksiyonlar alt boyutlarında her iki tedavinin de anlamlı düzeyde etkili olduğu gözlemlendi (p<0,05). Uyku alt boyutunda ise sadece YZDOR grubunda anlamlı düzelme görüldü (p<0,001). Ayrıca NSP'i alt boyutlarından fiziksel aktivite, ağrı ve emosyonel reaksiyonda yapay zekâ grubunun sağlık durumunda daha hızlı iyileşme sağladığı görüldü (p<0,01). BAÖ skorları yapay zekâ grubunda daha hızlı bir düşüş kaydedildi (p<0,01). KBÖS skorları yapay zekâ grubunda anlamlı bir iyileşme gösterdi (p<0,05). Sonuç olarak, yapay zekâ destekli akıllı omurga rehabilitasyonunun, geleneksel fizyoterapiye kıyasla ağrıyı azaltmada, genel sağlık durumunu düzeltmede ve engelliliği azaltmada daha etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Servikal Disk Hernisi, Geleneksel Fizyoterapi, Yapay Zekâ Destekli Akıllı Omurga Rehabilitasyonu, AğrıAI-assisted spinal rehabilitation is an innovative method that analyzes spinal needs and provides targeted therapy to specific points. This study aims to investigate the effects of AI-assisted smart spinal rehabilitation on general health, anxiety levels, and disability in patients with Cervical Disc Herniation (CDH). A total of 42 individuals diagnosed with CDH participated in the study. Participants were randomized into two groups. The control group (CG) underwent 15 sessions of conventional physiotherapy (hot pack, ultrasound, TENS, and isometric exercises). The other group received AI-assisted spinal rehabilitation (AISR) three times per week for a total of six sessions. Pain intensity was assessed using the Numeric Pain Scale (NPS), general health using the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), anxiety levels using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and disability using the Copenhagen Neck Disability Scale (CNDS). The results showed a faster reduction in pain intensity in the AISR group (p<0.01). According to the NHP, both treatments significantly improved the subdimensions of physical activity, fatigue, pain, and emotional reactions (p<0.05). However, significant improvement in the sleep subdimension was observed only in the AISR group (p<0.001). Additionally, faster improvement in physical activity, pain, and emotional reactions was noted in the AISR group compared to the CG (p<0.01). The BAI scores decreased more rapidly in the AISR group (p<0.01), and significant improvements in CNDS scores were observed in the AISR group (p<0.05). In conclusion, AI-assisted smart spinal rehabilitation was found to be more effective than conventional physiotherapy in reducing pain, improving general health status, and decreasing disability.

Study of Wh Production Through Vector Boson Scattering and Extraction of the Relative Sign of the W and Z Couplings To the Higgs Boson in Proton-Proton Collisions at √s=13 Te
No full textA search for the production of a W boson and a Higgs boson through vector boson scattering (VBS) is presented, using CMS data from proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV collected from 2016 to 2018. The integrated luminosity of the data sample is 138 fb(-1). Selected events must be consistent with the presence of two jets originating from VBS, the leptonic decay of the W boson to an electron or muon, possibly also through an intermediate tau lepton, and a Higgs boson decaying into a pair of b quarks, reconstructed as either a single merged jet or two resolved jets. A measurement of the process as predicted by the standard model (SM) is performed alongside a study of beyond-the-SM (BSM) scenarios. The SM analysis sets an observed (expected) 95% confidence level upper limit of 14.3 (9.9) on the ratio of the measured VBS WH cross section to that expected by the SM. The BSM analysis, conducted within the so-called kappa framework, excludes all scenarios with lambda(WZ) < 0 that are consistent with current measurements, where lambda(WZ) = kappa(W)/kappa(Z) and kappa W and kappa(Z) are the HWW and HZZ coupling modfiers, respectively. The significance of the exclusion is beyond 5 standard deviations, and it is consistent with the SM expectation of lambda(WZ) = 1.FWF; FNRS; FWO (Belgium) [30820817]; CNPq; CAPES; FAPERJ; FAPERGS; FAPESP (Brazil); BNSF (Bulgaria); MOST; NSFC (China); CSF (Croatia); RIF (Cyprus); SENESCYT (Ecuador); ERC PRG [MoER TK202]; Academy of Finland; MEC; CEA; CNRS/IN2P3 (France); SRNSF; BMBF; DFG; HGF (Germany); NKFIH (Hungary); DAE; DST; IPM; SFI (Ireland); INFN (Italy); NRF (Republic of Korea); MES (Latvia); MOE; UM (Malaysia); BUAP; UASLP-FAI (Mexico); PAEC (Pakistan); FCT (Portugal); MESTD (Serbia); PCTI (Spain); Swiss Funding Agencies (Switzerland); NSTDA; TUBITAK; NASU (Ukraine); NSF (USA); Marie-Curie program; European Research Council; Horizon 2020 Grant [675440, 724704, 752730, 758316, 765710, 824093, 101115353, 101002207]; COST Action [CA16108]; Alfred P.

A Hybrid Numerical Method With High Accuracy To Solve a Time-Space Diffusion Model in Terms of the Caputo and Riesz Fractional Derivatives
No full textThis manuscript proposes an efficient hybrid numerical approach that combines high accuracy with low computational cost to approximate solutions of the time-space diffusion model governed by the Caputo and Riesz fractional derivatives. Addressing the fractional time derivative in the Caputo sense, we employ a combination of quadratic and linear interpolations, achieving an accuracy of O{(Delta t)2-gamma)}\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}\end{document}. For the spatial discretisation of the Riesz space-fractional operator, we utilise a compact finite difference scheme with fourth-order accuracy. The stability and convergence properties of the proposed numerical method are rigorously analysed and verified. Finally, we provide with several numerical examples, supplemented by graphical and tabular illustrations, to demonstrate the accuracy, efficiency, and robustness of the proposed approach.Science Citation Index Expande
In-Depth Analysis of the Effects of Turbo-Expander and Condenser Pressures on the Performance of an Organic Rankine Cycle (Orc) Waste Heat Recovery System
No full textConsidering the environmental problems and energy prices, waste energy recovery is one of the subjects that should be given more attention. Currently, internal combustion engines (ICEs) are the most used heat engines. In the present paper, while introducing four different configurations with different equipment arrangements, the waste energy recovery using the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) from a widely used ICE in the shipping fleet is evaluated. All four designs include a single-loop ORC but with a different number of heat exchangers. Case 1 is simple, case 2 includes a recuperator, case 3 includes a preheater, and case 4 includes both a recuperator and a preheater. Due to the low temperature of wasted energy in ICEs, suitable working fluids are selected and for all fluids, the effects of inlet pressure to turbo-expander (TE), inlet pressure to the condenser, changes of ICE power, and TE isentropic efficiency are investigated. The results show that the set (ICE + ORC) best net energy and exergy efficiencies are related to case 4, and equal 42.77 % and 41.74 %, respectively. The amount of destroyed exergy in the cycle for cases 1 to 4 equals 2640 kW, 2595 kW, 2625 kW, and 2560 kW, respectively. Considering the exergy content of consumed fuel, the exergy efficiency of the cases equals 40.31 %, 41.53 %, 40.62 %, and 41.74 %, respectively. Increasing TE inlet pressure from 3 to 8 bar increases the avoidance of CO2 production from about 200 tons per year to about 700 tons.Deanship of Research and Graduate Studies at King Khalid University [RGP2/542/45]Authors extend their appreciation to the Deanship of Research and Graduate Studies at King Khalid University for funding this work through Large Research Project under grant number RGP2/542/45.Science Citation Index Expande

As the world turns more to renewable energy to combat climate change and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, solar energy stands out as a powerful solution for sustainable power generation. Composite materials, which combine the best properties of different substances, are crucial for advancing solar energy systems by enhancing their efficiency, durability, and thermal management. In this review, we dive into the use of composites in various solar applications, including photovoltaic systems, solar collectors, and thermal energy storage (TES) solutions. Key innovations discussed include the use of phase change materials (PCMs) in TES, advanced direct absorption solar collectors (DASCs) with nanofluids, and composite-enhanced photovoltaic back sheets. We also explore the incorporation of eco-friendly materials, such as natural fibers, and the exciting potential of 2D materials like graphene and MoS2 in improving solar technology performance. The review stresses the importance of ongoing research to address challenges in material optimization and system integration, aiming to create scalable and reliable solar technologies. Ultimately, composite materials play a crucial role in the shift toward cleaner energy, helping make solar energy a more competitive, efficient, and sustainable solution to meet global energy needs.Prince Sattam bin Abdu-laziz University [PSAU/2025/R/1446]This study is supported via funding from Prince Sattam bin Abdu-laziz University project number (PSAU/2025/R/1446) .Science Citation Index Expande
Narsisizm ve Mükemmeliyetçilik Arasındaki İlişkide Onay Arayıcılığın Aracı Rolü
No full textBu araştırmanın amacı, narsisizm ve mükemmeliyetçilik arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek ve onay arayıcılığın bu ilişkideki rolünü ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmanın bir diğer amacı, bu üç kavramın cinsiyet, medeni durum, öğrenim durumu ve narsisizm türleri açısından anlamlı bir ilişkiye sahip olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Araştırmanın katılımcıları, 181 kadın ve 390 erkek olmak üzere toplam 571 kişiden oluşmaktadır. Verilerin toplanması amacıyla Bilgilendirilmiş Onam Formu, Demografik Bilgi Formu, Narsisizm Ölçeği-Kısa Form, Mükemmeliyetçilik Ölçeği ve Onay Arayıcılık Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Ölçeklerden elde edilen puanların demografik değişkenlere göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını incelemek için ikili gruplarda Bağımsız Gruplar t Testi, iki veya daha fazla kategoriye sahip gruplarda ise Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi (ANOVA) uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, cinsiyet açısından onay arayıcılık, mükemmeliyetçilik ve grandiyöz narsisizm düzeylerinde anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır. Ancak, kadınların kırılgan narsisizm düzeylerinin erkeklere kıyasla anlamlı derecede daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Medeni durum açısından yapılan analizlerde, kırılgan narsisizm ve grandiyöz narsisizm düzeylerinde medeni durum grupları arasında anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuştur. Bekar bireylerin, evli ve dul/boşanmış bireylere kıyasla daha yüksek kırılgan ve grandiyöz narsisizm düzeylerine sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrenim durumu açısından yapılan analizlerde ise onay arayıcılık, mükemmeliyetçilik, kırılgan narsisizm ve grandiyöz narsisizm düzeylerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmamıştır. Aracılık analizine ilişkin bulgular, grandiyöz narsisizmin mükemmeliyetçilik üzerindeki dolaylı etkisinin anlamlı olmadığını ve onay arayıcılığın bu iki değişken arasındaki ilişkide aracı rol üstlenmediğini göstermektedir. Grandiyöz narsisizm, bireyin kendini üstün görme, başkalarından ilgi ve hayranlık bekleme eğilimleriyle karakterize edilirken, mükemmeliyetçilik ise kişinin kendisinden ve başkalarından sürekli olarak mükemmel performans beklemesiyle ilişkilendirilmektedir. Araştırma sonuçları, ilgili literatür çerçevesinde tartışılmış ve alan uzmanları ile gelecekteki çalışmalara yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between narcissism and perfectionism and to explore the role of approval-seeking in this relationship. Another objective of the study is to determine whether these three concepts have significant relationships with gender, marital status, educational background, and types of narcissism. The participants of the study consisted of a total of 571 individuals, including 181 women and 390 men. Data were collected using the Informed Consent Form, Demographic Information Form, Narcissism Scale-Short Form, Perfectionism Scale, and Approval-Seeking Scale. To analyze whether the scores obtained from the scales differ according to demographic variables, Independent Samples t-Test was used for two-group comparisons, while One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was applied for groups with more than two categories. According to the study results, there were no significant differences in approval-seeking, perfectionism, and grandiose narcissism levels between genders. However, women had significantly higher levels of vulnerable narcissism compared to men. Regarding marital status, analyses revealed significant differences in vulnerable narcissism and grandiose narcissism levels among marital status groups. Single individuals had higher levels of both vulnerable and grandiose narcissism compared to married and widowed/divorced individuals. In terms of educational background, no statistically significant differences were found in approval-seeking, perfectionism, vulnerable narcissism, or grandiose narcissism levels. Findings from the mediation analysis indicated that the indirect effect of grandiose narcissism on perfectionism was not significant, and approval-seeking did not mediate the relationship between these two variables. Grandiose narcissism is characterized by a sense of superiority and a tendency to seek attention and admiration from others, whereas perfectionism is associated with a continuous expectation of flawless performance from oneself and others. The findings were discussed in light of the relevant literature, and recommendations were provided for experts in the field and future research
Search for Dark Matter Produced in AsSociation with a Pair of Bottom Quarks in Proton-Proton Collisions at s = 13 TeV
No full textA search for dark matter (DM) particles produced in asSociation with bottom quarks is presented. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of s = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1. The search is performed in a final state with large missing transverse momentum and a pair of jets originating from bottom quarks. No significant excess of data is observed with respect to the standard model expectation. Results are interpreted in the context of a type-II two-Higgs-doublet model with an additional light pseudoscalar (2HDM+a). An upper limit is set on the mass of the lighter pseudoscalar, probing masses up to 260 GeV at 95% confidence level. Sensitivity to the parameter space with the ratio of the vacuum expectation values of the two Higgs doublets, tan β, greater than 15 is achieved, capitalizing on the enhancement of couplings between pseudoscalars and bottom quarks with high tan β. © The Author(s) 2025.Ministry of Education and Science, MES; Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, BUAP; Center for African Studies, CAS; Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, FCT; Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India, DAE; PCTI; National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, NASU; National Science and Technology Development Agency, NSTDA; Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities; MSES; Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, MOE; National Science Foundation, NSF; Missouri University of Science and Technology, MST; Institut National de Physique Nucléaire et de Physique des Particules, IN2P3; Science and Technology Facilities Council, STFC; F.R.S.-FNRS; Council of Science and Industrial Research; Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politécnico Nacional, CINVESTAV; Ministério da Educação e Ciência, MEC; MEYS; Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, FAPERJ; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, MCIN; Universiti Malaya, UM; Bundesministerium für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Forschung, BMBWF; FAIR; National Science Council, NSC; Ministry of Science,Technology and Research, MoSTR; Hispanics in Philanthropy, HIP; Hungarian Academy of Sciences; Secretaría de Educación Pública, SEP; Austrian Science Fund, FFWF; Department of Science and Technology, Ministry of Science and Technology, India, IndiaDST; Chulalongkorn Academic; Consejo Nacional de Humanidades, Ciencias y Tecnologías; ERDF; Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, CNRS; Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF; Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek, FWO; Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu, TUBITAK; LMTLT; Research Council of Finland, AKA; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, CNPq; Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, PAEC; Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, CAPES; California Earthquake Authority, CEA; Türkiye Enerji, Nükleer ve Maden Araştırma Kurumu, TENMAK; Nvidia Corporation; Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation; Belgian Federal Science Policy Office; Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG; LNS; Alfred P.

The analysis uses the data set collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV corresponding to integrated luminosities of 36.3 fb(-1), 41.5 fb(-1) and 54.4 fb(-1) during the 2016, 2017, and 2018 LHC running periods, respectively. No significant excess over the background expectation is observed and 95% cofidence level upper limits are set on the product of the cross section and branching fraction for decays of an additional Higgs boson into two photons. The maximum deviation with respect to the background is seen for a mass hypothesis of 95.4 GeV with a local (global) significance of 2.9 (1.3) standard deviations. The observed upper limit ranges from 15 to 73 fb.FWF; FNRS; FWO (Belgium); CNPq; CAPES; FAPERJ; FAPERGS; FAPESP (Brazil); BNSF (Bulgaria); MOST; NSFC (China); CSF (Croatia); RIF (Cyprus); SENESCYT (Ecuador); ERC PRG [MoER TK202]; Academy of Finland; MEC; CEA; CNRS/IN2P3 (France); SRNSF; BMBF; DFG; HGF (Germany); NKFIH (Hungary); DAE; DST; IPM; SFI (Ireland); INFN (Italy); NRF (Republic of Korea); MES (Latvia); MOE; UM (Malaysia); BUAP; CONACYT; UASLP-FAI (Mexico); PAEC (Pakistan); FCT (Portugal); MESTD (Serbia); PCTI (Spain); Swiss Funding Agencies (Switzerland); NSTDA; TUBITAK; DOE; NSF (USA); Indo-French Center for the Promotion of Advanced Research (CEFIPRA/IFCPAR); Marie-Curie program; European Research Council; Horizon 2020 Grant [675440, 724704, 752730, 758316, 765710, 824093, 101115353, 101002207]; COST Action [CA16108]; Leventis Foundation; Alfred P.

The Effect of Breast Milk and Other Odor Interventions Applied During Venous Procedures in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit on the Pain and Comfort Level of Premature Neonate: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
No full textPurpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine the effect of breast milk and other scent interventions applied during venous procedures in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit on premature babies’ pain and comfort levels. Materials and methods: This review [PROSPERO:CRD42024547970] searched eight (8) databases (Cochrane, PubMed, EBSCO, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Scopus, TR Index, CINAHL). A search strategy specific to each database was created by using the keywords of published studies on the subject. In general, the words ((Comfort OR Pain) AND (Preterm) AND (“neonatal intensive care unit” OR NICU) AND (venipuncture OR bloodletting OR catheter OR cannula)) were used. Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome(s) of interest, and Study design (PICOS framework) and studies published between 2014 and 2024 that met the inclusion criteria have been examined by researchers between the dates May 01, 2024 and July 01, 2024. Data were analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA). For comparison of binary data, odds ratio (OR) (95% CI) was calculated. For continuous data, mean difference (MD) with a 95% confidence interval was estimated. OR was used to calculate the joint effect. A value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: As a result of the searches made with the search strategy, a total of 214 studies were reached. Of these studies, 17 were removed as a result of duplication and 188 were removed as a result of title and abstract reviews. The full texts of the remaining nine studies were examined and two studies that did not meet the inclusion criteria were excluded. Among these, one study was eliminated because the comparison was not appropriate because each infant had its own control, and one study was eliminated because the results were not appropriate. A total of seven researchers were found to meet the involvement criteria and were included in this meta-analysis study. It was found that breast milk and other odors interventions had a large effect on reducing the pain scores of premature babies, and the effect size of all studies except one study included in the meta-analysis was statistically significant. Subgroup analysis according to odor types revealed that breast milk odor and other odors were effective interventions in reducing pain reactivity. There was not enough evidence to state that odor interventions had a positive effect on the comfort levels of newborns. Conclusion: There is a need for studies with a high level of evidence examining the effects of odor interventions on the comfort level of premature babies. © 2025 Neonatal Nurses Associatio
