Các chị em đang bầu bí nên lưu ý rằng nhiệt độ ngoài trời có thể ảnh hưởng đến nguy cơ bệnh tiểu đường thai kỳ, đặc biệt trong thời tiết mùa hè nóng nực.

Bệnh tiểu đường thai kỳ (gestational diabetes) là một dạng tiểu đường tạm thời ảnh hưởng đến một số phụ nữ trong thời kỳ mang thai. Những bà bầu này thường không có tiền sử mắc bệnh tiểu đường trước khi mang thai, nhưng đường huyết vẫn có thể tăng lên vào khoảng thời gian giữa kỳ mang thai. ��ớc tính có 3 – 5% bà bầu bị tiểu đường thai kỳ.

Bệnh tiểu đường thai kỳ xảy ra khi các hormone trong nhau thai kích thích đề kháng in-sulin, có nghĩa là mức đường huyết không được duy trì.

Độ nhạy với in-sulin được cải thiện khi tiếp xúc với nhiệt độ lạnh, khi đó, cơ thể sản sinh nhiều nhiệt hơn để giữ cho cơ thể được ấm áp. Tuy nhiên, nhiệt độ cao bên ngoài có ảnh hưởng gì tới nguy cơ tiểu đường thai kỳ?

Mùa hè có thể làm tăng nguy cơ tiểu đường thai kỳ ở mẹ bầu

Các nhà nghiên cứu tới từ Bệnh viện St. Michael, Viện Khoa học Đánh giá lâm sàng (ICES), Bệnh viện Mount Sinai và Đại học Toronto (tất cả đều ở Ontario, Canada) đã tiến hành khám phá mối liên quan giữa nhiệt độ ngoài trời và nguy cơ mắc bệnh tiểu đường thai kỳ.

Nghiên cứu đã kiểm tra 555.911 trẻ sinh ra từ 396.828 phụ nữ trong khoảng thời gian 12 năm, từ năm 2002 – 2014. Những bà mẹ có độ tuổi trung bình là 31 và đang sinh sống ở vùng Toronto (Canada), khoảng một nửa trong số bà mẹ này không sinh ra ở Canada.

Ở Canada, nhiệt độ lạnh ngoài trời được quy định trung bình là 10°C hoặc thấp hơn và nhiệt độ nóng trung bình là 24°C.

Những bà bầu trong nghiên cứu đã được tiếp xúc với các nhiệt độ khác nhau trong 30 ngày trước khi được kiểm tra tiểu đường thai kỳ.

Kết quả: Tiểu đường xảy ra ở 4,6% phụ nữ đã tiếp xúc với nhiệt độ cực lạnh. Nhưng con số này đã tăng tới 7,7% đối với những phụ nữ tiếp xúc với nhệt độ cao. Hơn nữa, cứ tăng thêm 10°C tương ứng với nguy cơ tiểu đường cao gấp 1,06 lần. Nguy cơ tương tự đã được tìm thấy khi nhiệt độ tăng giữa 2 lần mang thai ở cùng một người mẹ.

Joel Ray – một trong những tác giả của nghiên cứu trên cho biết: “Kết quả trên là giống nhau ở phần lớn các bà bầu. Bởi lẽ, chúng tôi đã loại bỏ các yếu tố như dân tộc, thu nhập, hoạt động, thói quen ăn uống…”.

Tác giả chính của nghiên cứu, TS. Gillian Booth cho hay, mặc dù nghiên cứu này không chứng minh rõ ràng mối quan hệ nhân quả giữa thời tiết và bệnh tiểu đường thai kỳ, tuy nhiên, nó sẽ làm thay đổi cách suy nghĩ của nhiều người.

Trước đây, nhiều người cho rằng, ở nền nhiệt độ cao hơn, bà bầu tích cực hoạt động ngoài trời sẽ giúp hạn chế tăng cân trong thai kỳ, và từ đó có thể giúp giảm nguy cơ tiểu đường thai kỳ. Tuy nhiên, trong một số nghiên cứu mới đã chứng minh tiếp xúc với nhiệt độ thấp có thể cải thiện sự nhạy cảm in-sulin bằng cách kích hoạt một loại chất béo bảo vệ gọi là mô mỡ nâu.

Các nhà nghiên cứu cảnh báo rằng, nếu phát hiện của họ là chính xác, điều này có thể dự báo số lượng các trường hợp bị bệnh tiểu đường thai kỳ trên toàn thế giới có thể tiếp tục tăng lên do hậu quả của sự nóng lên toàn cầu.

Bà bầu bị bệnh tiểu đường thai kỳ nên thường xuyên đi khám bác sỹ, theo dõi đường huyết và thay đổi lối sống lành mạnh kể cả sau khi sinh. Hãy tham vấn bác sỹ để sử dụng các sản phẩm thảo dược giúp ổn định đường huyết và phòng ngừa biến chứng tiểu đường thai kỳ.

Tiểu bang Queensland có thể đối mặt trận lũ lớn nhất 50 năm qua

Tiểu bang Queensland có thể đối mặt trận lũ lớn nhất 50 năm qua

Người dân Queensland có thể phải đối mặt với đợt lũ lớn nhất kể từ năm 1974 và cảnh báo thời tiết khắc nghiệt đã được ban hành liên quan tới mưa lớn và gió lốc.

Cục Khí tượng Úc cho biết tiểu bang Queensland sẽ phải hứng chịu một hệ thống khí áp thấp, đã gây ra mưa lớn và lụt lội khắp thành phố Townsville khi nó di chuyển về phía Tây. Hệ thống này khiến cho Townsville phải đón nhận lượng mưa lớn nhất trong vòng 9 năm qua trong tuần này.

Các vùng trung tâm và phía tây bắc của Queensland, bao gồm Longreach và Mount Isa, sẽ trải qua mưa lớn và có thể xảy ra lũ lụt. Tổng lượng mưa trong 6 giờ có thể vượt quá 90mm, trong khi lượng mưa trong 24 giờ được dự báo sẽ trong khoảng 75mm – 150mm, cá biệt có nơi lên đến 300mm và đi kèm bão có thể có sấm sét.

Nhà khí tượng học cao cấp Rick Threlfall cho biết, trong khi mưa rào có thể xuất hiện ở các khu vực nội địa trong tiểu bang Queensland thì vẫn chưa chắc chắn về đường đi của hệ thống khí áp thấp và nơi sẽ xảy ra những trận mưa to nhất.

Một cảnh báo lũ đã được ban hành cho Central West, Channel Country và các con sông ở vùng vịnh. Người dân được cảnh báo mực nước sông có thể sẽ tăng ở các khu vực thuộc vùng sâu vùng xa và có thể gây ra sự gián đoạn đáng kể trong giao thông và cô lập các cộng đồng trong một thời gian dài.

Cục Khí tượng Úc cảnh báo người dân nên kiểm tra các cảnh báo và thông báo về việc đóng cửa đường, nếu có thể thì nên tránh đi lại khi các cảnh báo được đưa ra.

Press Release:

The media theorist Friedrich Kittler once claimed, in an essay about Pink Floyd’s song “Brain Damage” (1973), that “the history of the ear is always a history of madness.”(1) For the past couple of years, the relationship between memory, belief and hearing has been one of Sung Tieu’s main concerns. The Vietnam-born and London/Berlin-based artist researches the use of sound in the context of warfare, developing sound installations interwoven with architectural interventions, sculptural components, writing and video. In one recent project, she focused on “Ghost Tape 10”, a sound-weapon deployed by the US Army’s psychological operations unit (or PSYOP)(2) during the Vietnam War.(3)

Tieu’s exhibition at Nottingham Contemporary, her first institutional solo show in the UK, further expands on the intersection between sound weaponry, brain damage, international relations and information circulation. Titled In Cold Print, this new commission focuses on the so-called Havana Syndrome.(4)

In late 2016, a number of US embassy staff based in Cuba (5) started to complain about persistent headaches, tinnitus and dizziness. Unable to identify the cause, a rumour – supported by Donald Trump – of a sound weapon devised by the Cuban government quickly spread. Although no proof of such weapons could be found, and doubts began to surface, most of the US embassy staff were repatriated. Two years later, in July 2019, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania published the results of their tests on subjects who had experienced this “high-pitched cricket sound”.(6) Neuroscientists defined the after effects as “concussions without concussions”. The cause is still being debated.

At Nottingham Contemporary, the gallery is treated as a surveilled space – in between an underground carpark and a buffer zone. It also acts as an auditorium, a complex theatre of operations connected to a new sound work developed with the support of scientists from Nottingham Trent University and composer Ville Haimala (one half of the Berlin-based music duo Amnesia Scanner).(7) Interspersed within a structure of fences and cruciform pillars are stainless-steel seats and engraved mirrors.(8) These disparate components manifest the underlying violence of the purportedly neutral designs disseminated by the state apparatus (prison, asylum, military).

On another level, the information communicated through the advertising billboards (9) triggers shifts in the perception of the space and what can be heard within it, thus highlighting the correlation between the perception of sound and its translation into information through vision, memory and language.

A publication, devised in collaboration with Haus der Kunst, Munich (where Tieu presents Capsule 11: Zugzwang until 21 June 2020), and Mousse Publishing, will be available from Nottingham Contemporary in late April 2020.

(2) “Psychological operations (PSYOP) are operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning, and ultimately the behaviour of governments, organizations, groups, and individuals.” (Wikipedia)

(3) Playing on the traditional Vietnamese belief that a soul can only find peace if buried in its homeland, ghostly voices were played from loudspeakers mounted on helicopters and backpacks. Voices urged soldiers to surrender and find their relatives, or else risk forever being wandering souls. The name given to the larger propaganda campaign was “Operation Wandering Soul”.

Emitted via a range of high-end portable speakers and subwoofers whose presence is hidden from plain sight, this sound piece comprises various elements: a reconstruction of the Caribbean cricket sound, which has been likened to the alleged sound weapon; recordings of Nottingham Contemporary’s water-pump system; and apparent fragments of dystopian advertising jingles. Another key element of this sound piece are brain waves turned into sound. Subjecting herself to a battery of tests, the artist had her brain scanned while listening to the reconstruction of the sound weapon. The recorded electric activity was then translated into music from the help of neuroscientists. The bags and clothes presented, which hold the speakers, have been made based on military uniforms and accessories with patterned fabric sourced in Vietnam.

(8) Exposure to Havana Syndrome, 2020, brain scan on stainless steel mirror. These brain scans refer to those published in The Journal of the American Medical Association in July 2019, where a research unit based at the University of Pennsylvania led tests on the Havana Syndrome victims. Outlines of these scans (which resemble camouflage pattern and geological maps) are engraved onto a number of stainless-steel mirrors (the type commonly installed in prison cells). The scans are of the artist’s brain, produced as she exposed herself to a reconstitution of the sound weapon during an MRI exam. The results were later analysed in collaboration with scientists from Nottingham Trent University, to emphasise details that would manifest the reactions to the exposure to the sonic weapon.

(9) Newspaper 1969 – ongoing, 2020, five images on 75-inch LED screens. A continuation of the Newspaper 1969 – ongoing series that Tieu has been developing for some years, they present an anchor point for this project, providing both the substance of the research material and its fictional set-up. Usually printed onto newsprint, here they are displayed on the kind of LED screens typically used for advertising billboards.

The right connections

Louise Smyth reports on the latest news from the fasteners sector

In engineering design, fasteners can often turn out to be the single component that takes an idea from concept to reality.

As such, their value should not be underestimated. And in recent years, as things such as composite materials have evolved so too have fastening solutions.

Today it’s a surprisingly fast-moving sector. Here we present a roundup of the latest news from those at the forefront of fastenings.

Fasteners on Mars

One fastening expert was recently commissioned to supply high-strength blind rivets for the ground-penetrating radar system on NASA’s 2020 Mars Exploration Rover.

TR Fastenings Norway received this commission from the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), which won a bid with NASA to design and build the Mars Rover’s Radar Imager.

The radar, known as RIMFAX (Radar Imager for Mars’ Subsurface Exploration), is one of seven scientific instruments on the Exploration Rover that should help establish whether it’s feasible to sustain human life on the Red Planet.

The sophisticated radar imager consists of an electronics box mounted inside the Rover and an ultra-wideband slot antenna mounted on the rear of the vehicle.

The rivets help ensure the structural integrity of the radar’s antenna, which is constructed to aerospace standards from lightweight aluminium sheet metal and assembled from several complex shaped parts. These components will be exposed for years to the hostile conditions of a planet famous for its extreme dust storms and temperatures as low as minus 125°C.

The currently operational Rover, Opportunity, landed on Mars in 2004 for a planned mission of 90 Martian days (92.4 Earth days) but is still in service.

The new Mars Exploration Rover will roam Mars’ rocky terrain searching for a wide range of rocks and soils that hold clues to past water activity on the planet. RIMFAX’s ground-penetrating radar will send radio frequency electromagnetic waves into the ground to a depth of up to 10m and then detect the reflected signal as a function of time to reveal the subsurface structure and composition.

Ground-penetrating radar has the capability to reveal subsurface terrains such as lava flows, buried channels, and polar ice cap stratigraphy.

Jan-Erik Storsve of TR Fastenings Norway comments: “It’s incredible to think of those fasteners being used in outer space! We are extremely proud to be involved in the next Mars mission and everyone at TR is looking forward to the launch with great excitement.”

Meeting the need for threaded fasteners

Each manufacturing industry has its own requirements, but all use threaded fasteners – nuts, bolts, screws and washers. Challenge Europe strives to address these varying applications with technical expertise that can save manufacturers’ time, money and concerns about quality. Industries such as electronics, medical, agricultural, general machinery, instrumentation, marine, and building, all benefit from their careful consideration of the presented specification and supply of quality fasteners.

Each application is different of course as MD Kevin Moorcroft explains: “In many applications the requirement is fairly straightforward and can often be met by a standard item, however it is also quite common to require a higher spec material or different length, different head form, unusual thread length or non-standard finish. That is where we come in to help identify what is needed and to supply at a competitive price. Where something more custom is needed then we can deal with that too; as we can with a range of fastener associated products or, where a threaded system is not suitable, then we can provide a riveting solution.”

Standard products include socket shoulder screws, machine screws, self-drilling screws and hex-headed high tensile bolts. Smaller sizes of many fasteners particularly suit the electronics industry and a range of plastic plugs protect products in transit from ingress of foreign bodies. Korrex plastic nut caps are ideal for outdoor protection.

Moorcroft also highlights the need to choose the right material for your application. “The material choice is the most important first step but often just as important is the choice of finish – we offer chemi-black on mild steel, stayblack on stainless steel, zinc plated, chrome plated and nickel plated as standard finishes on many of our fixings.

“We work with design engineers and buyers in all industries to optimise choices and minimise costs so we can ensure highest quality and quickest assembly times for each product.”

Making (very small) waves

As important as material choice is, size is also a critical factor in many fastening applications. The designers at Smalley have acknowledged that as engineers around the world design smaller and smaller assemblies, they have started to ask ‘where can I find the compact components to support my designs?’

Smalley devised the answer to this question with its newly expanded Crest-to-Crest Wave Spring Series. Smalley’s popular C (imperial) and CM (metric) Series have been expanded; standard sizes are now available from stock down to .188” and 5mm in diameter.

“We were the originator of the Crest-to-Crest Wave Spring,” states Darryl McBride, Smalley’s director of engineering. “I was amazed when I saw our springs coiled up to 12ft in diameter, what surprised me even more was how much engineering went into designing smaller. Our expanded spring series will open up possibilities for designers in the medical, computer and robotics industries, where wave springs couldn’t fit before,” states McBride.

The light idea

As well as the trend for ever smaller fastening solutions, a great many applications are demanding lighter components too.

New aluminium versions of SI threaded inserts from PennEngineering have stepped up to introduce lead-free and lightweight alternatives to brass counterparts. They also offer ideal solutions to eliminate potential environmental and recycling issues while contributing to overall lighter assemblies.

The aluminium option – approximately 70% lighter than brass equivalents – can be specified for all types of SI inserts and augments the standard line of brass and corrosion-resistant lead-free stainless steel products. All provide durable and reusable metal threads in plastics to accept mating hardware and subsequently allow for access to an assembly whenever required.

Applications for SI threaded inserts include plastic enclosures or components for the consumer electronics, medical, automotive, aerospace, transportation, and recreational industries, among many others.

Whether manufactured from aluminium, stainless steel, or brass, the SI product line for plastic assemblies includes ultrasonic/heat staking inserts for installation ultrasonically or with a thermal press, moulded-in types installed during the moulding process, and press-in types installed by pressing the insert into a pre-moulded or drilled hole.

All install permanently and, unlike fixed and unyielding joining methods (such as adhesives or rivets), the inserts ultimately offer the capability to disassemble and re-attach plastic components easily and quickly without damaging the threads, compromising attachment integrity, or otherwise adversely impacting an assembly.

SI threaded inserts have been engineered in a variety of designs and lengths – including micro fastener versions with threads as small as M1 – and can be supplied in unified or metric thread sizes.

On the latch

New advances are also being made to improve on fastenings such as latches. In one example, a new shutter cam latch from Southco has been designed to prevent accidental opening.

The drop bushing feature of the E5 Shutter Cam Latch adds additional security by preventing the cam from rotating open in high vibration applications.

The latch is designed with a spring-loaded bushing that covers the driver recess. To actuate the latch, the bushing must be manually depressed. In the event that the latch is not entirely closed, the bushing remains in the depressed position, providing a visual indication that the latch is unsecured.

The E5’s bushing is designed with a longer travel distance, providing enhanced security. With its flush, low profile design, the E5 Shutter Cam Latch provides a clean appearance, minimising dust and debris collection that may affect operation. The E5 Shutter Cam Latch also meets NEMA 4 and IP65 standards for water and dust protection, as well as EN61373, the shock and vibration standard for railway applications.

The range delivers robust, vibration-resistant fastening, features a variety of grip lengths and is available in numerous head style options for added security. Additionally, the new latch features the same panel hole prep as the standard series and is available with a separate latch and cam assembly to promote modular use.

Southco’s Loc Tieu comments: “With its spring-loaded bushing and visual indicator feature, our newest E5 Cam Latch is designed to keep doors and panels affected by excessive vibration securely closed. It satisfies industry regulations for water and dust ingress protection, making it an ideal solution for high traffic areas such as floor panelling and enclosures in transportation and HVAC applications.”

Next-gen harsh environment connector

The recently introduced HEC ‘harsh environment connector’ from Binder is now available in a 12-pole version.

Known as series 696 the HEC connector is protected to IP68, IP69k, withstands high-pressure washing, has excellent resistance to UV, temperature fluctuations, acid rain, salt spray, ozone and other pollutants.

Ideal for agricultural, construction, process engineering, water purification and recycling equipment, traffic and signalling systems and similar applications, the HEC range has a secure, fast, three-point bayonet locking system while a robust coding mechanism prevents incorrect orientation and provides over 1,000 mating cycles. 

The connector uses a variety of crimp contacts to achieve a secure vibration proof termination.

The new version has 12 silver-plated crimp contacts rated to 5A and 250V to complement the existing eight-pole hybrid version with four signal contacts and 3 +PE both of which can accommodate a variety of wire gauges.

Hermetic connectors get certified

From Esterline Connection Technologies, Souriau's range of hermetic 38999 connectors has successfully obtained QPL certification from the DLA. The hermetic 38999 connector range is intermateable and interchangeable with standard MIL-DTL-38999 connectors. These hermetic connectors can be mounted in four different ways (screw, jam nut, weld and solder) according to the type of use.

The qualified versions include 45 layouts and cover many configurations from 3 to 128 contacts with sizes ranging from 22 to 8AWG.

The hermetic receptacles follow stringent quality control procedures and include helium leak testing to ensure leakage rates of less than 10-7 atm.cm3/s. The connectors are suitable for critical aerospace environments. Hermetic 8D connectors are used on many types of equipment where airtight seals are a key factor in protecting electronics from fluid or gas ingress.

"Our hermetic 38999 connectors are used on many types of safety-critical components, from pressure sensors, temperature sensors, speed sensors, and vibration sensors, to landing gear actuators and flight control components" says Samuel Tournier, product manager for hermetic connectors. "They ensure that these highly critical components operate properly and safely."
