The article is dedicated to measuring the thickness of step height standards using the author's version of the variable wavelength interferometer (VAWI) in the reflected-light mode, where the interference pattern is created by the combination of two Wollaston prisms. The element of novelty consists in replacing the traditional search for the coincidence of fringes in the object and background with a continuous measurement of their periods and phases relative to the zero-order fringe. The resulting system of sinusoids is then analyzed using two methods: the classical one and the second utilizing the criterion of uniform thickness. The theory is followed by simulation and experimental parts, providing insight to the metrological potential of the VAWI technology.

Characteristics of split-step skills of the world's top athletes in badminton.
PLoS One
January 2025
Tokyo Metropolitan University, Hachioji, Japan.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to quantitatively measure the split-step skills of the world's top badminton players to clarify the characteristics underlying these skills when moving into the forehand position in the rear court.
Methods: We analyzed the four best ranking players (1st to 4th) in the men's singles competition at the World Badminton Federation (BWF) World Championships 2023, a world tournament whose match videos are available online. Analysis 1 was conducted to determine the location of the players' feet on the court when performing a split-step while moving to the forehand rear court, as well as the width of the stance and the reaction time from that stance to taking the first step.
Quality-by-design principles applied to the development and optimisation of lidocaine-loaded dissolving microneedle arrays - a proof-of-concept.

The use of dissolving microneedle arrays (dMNA) for intradermal and transdermal drug delivery has been a growing trend in the field for the past decades. However, a lack of specific regulatory standards still hinders their clinical development and translation to market. It is also well-known that dMNA composition significantly impacts their performance, with each new formulation potentially presenting a challenge for developers, manufacturers and regulatory agencies.

Cardiorespiratory fitness is the most important variable related to health and a strong predictor of mortality. However, it is rarely used in clinics due to costs, specialized equipment, space needs, and the requirements of expert staff such as an exercise physiologist, physician, or other health professional. This work aims to validate and test the reliability of a submaximal step test to estimate VOmax of 8-to 16-year-old pediatric populations as a simple and low-cost tool for clinical practice.

Department of Industrial Safety, Faculty of Mining, St. Petersburg Mining University, St. Petersburg, Russia.
Incorporating an illumination optimization plan into the worker safety management process in industrials is essential since the quality of workplace illumination has a significant impact on workers' well-being. The purpose of this study was to optimize illumination conditions in industrial workspaces using light-emitting diode (LED) technology with a color temperature of 6500 K and a CRI of 85 %. To accomplish this, the DIALux illumination simulation tool was utilized.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the effects of posteriorstabilized (PS) and cruciate-retaining (CR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) on early postoperative three-dimensional (3D) dynamic and kinematic characteristics in patients with unilateral knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from 90 patients with unilateral TKA between February 2021 and September 2021 was conducted using a 3D kinematic analysis system before and six months after TKA. This patient group included 57 patients (10 males, 47 females; mean age: 69.
