Assessment of Thermodynamic Efficiency of the Belarusian Energy System. Part 2 by V. N. Romaniuk, A. A. Bobich, T. V. Ryzhova, T. V. Bubyr, V. V. Yanchuk, Y. S. Yatsukhna

“…Traditional key energy indicators (specific consumption of conventional fuel for electricity generation and heat release) do not give a complete picture of the operation of the power system for such complex structures and in some cases are calculated incorrectly. The present paper proposes to add a well-known, but practically unused exergetic efficiency coefficient to the range of traditional characteristics. …”

Analytical Approach to the Selection of Research Topics for Gallstone Disease and Acute Cholecystitis (an Overview of Cochrane Reviews) by S. I. Panin, T. V. Nechay, A. V. Sazhin, A. V. Puzikova

“…The same applies to mortality, the probability of developing serious complications and the conversion rate of various minimally invasive procedures, as the required sample sizes (hundreds of thousands of observations) are difficult to achieve — currently range is from 0.03 to 21.9 %. On the contrary, the achieved values from the estimated DARIS in establishing the differences in the duration between minimally invasive surgery options (21.2 to 76 %), in some issues of pain management in the immediate postoperative period (43.6 to 92.6 %) and additional intraoperative anesthesia (13.7 to 14.9 %) and Z-curve monitoring give hope for their achievement in the foreseeable future. …”

“…Metabolomic state provided no or minimal additional prediction values of brain volumes to age and sex while GRS provided moderate additional prediction values (ranging from 0.8 to 8.8%). No significant interplay between metabolomic state and GRS was observed, but the association between metabolomic state and some regional brain volumes was stronger in men or younger individuals. …”

“…The pro-inflammatory response of the macrophages was reduced on the worn surfaces of the CoCr modified and functionalized with graphene oxide (GO) and hyaluronic acid (HA), compared to the worn surfaces of the unmodified CoCr. The hematological analysis and tissue reactions after intra-articular injection did not reveal pathological damage, with average hematological values recorded, although slight reductions in creatinine and protein within non-pathological ranges were found. …”
