The aim of the study was to determine the number of congenital infections detected in Dublin with the current use of the TORCH screen. A review of all laboratory results was undertaken with subsequent review of relevant medical charts. A total of nine cases were documented in a 5-year period from January 1991 to December 1995. Six of these had already been suspected. There was a failure to follow up 47% of positive screens. TORCH screening in Ireland has an unacceptably low yield, and in the opinion of the authors should be abolished.

Passing the Torch: The Mediating Role of Internalization in the Intergenerational Continuity of Catholic Religious Value Transmission in American Parents.

Despite extensive research on the intergenerational transmission of values, the continuity of parenting practices and underlying cognitive processes of transmission have received relatively little attention. We explored the mediating role of introjected and identified internalization on the intergenerational continuity of four parenting practices related to religion (assurance, disapproval/punishment, social involvement, and encouraged skepticism). We focused on Catholicism as an important test case based on its distinctive components amongst other Christian denominations.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent stem cells with self-renewal. They play a critical role in cell therapy due to their powerful immunomodulatory and regenerative effects. Recent studies suggest that one of the key therapeutic mechanisms of MSCs seems to derive from their paracrine product, called extracellular vesicles (EVs).

Wire-arc-directed energy deposition (WA-DED) stands out as a highly efficient and adaptable technology for near-net-shaped metal manufacturing, with promising application prospects. However, the shape control capability of this technology is relatively underdeveloped, necessitating further refinement. This review summarizes the latest advancements in the shape control of WA-DED technology, covering four pivotal areas: the regulation of various process parameters, optimization of the deposition paths, control through auxiliary energy and mechanical fields, and synergy between additive and subtractive manufacturing approaches.

Article Synopsis
- Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are revolutionizing the analysis of geospatial and Earth observation data, particularly in pixel-level classification tasks.
- The newly introduced geodl R package enables deep learning applications in R for geospatial data without requiring Python integration, simplifying the user experience.
- geodl efficiently processes raster-based data using the terra package and includes features for creating raster masks, training models, and assessing performance with common metrics.
An Investigation of the Metal Powder Ultrasound Atomisation Process of 316L Stainless Steel.

Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Kyryla i Mefodiya Str. 6, 79005 Lviv, Ukraine.
This paper presents the results of a study on the atomisation process of 316L material. The primary objective of the study was to obtain the highest quality, quantity and yield of 316L metal powder for the established atomisation parameters (torch current and wire feed speed) at the assumed process time. Using experiment planning according to the Taguchi method, 16 pairs of controllable variable parameters were developed.
