Continuous Authentication using Smart Health Monitoring System

: The main security issue in most of the computer is user identification and authentication. In traditional authentication schemes, the user is only validated during initial login which provides low security for the system. Hence continuous authentication has to be done to resolve the security issue. With increase in the number of smartphone users, continuous validation of the authenticated user is important. Continuous authentication mechanism can be made using two behavioral traits: app usage and touch based. There is a worldwide increase in the usage of apps that works on touchscreen, hence both can be used for authentication. Hence, the continuous authentication will be based on app usage and touch screen based which provide high security. In this paper, smart health monitoring system is used for continuous authentication. The data which is collected from wearable biomedical sensors for continuous health monitoring can also be used for continuous authentication. Although the biomedical signals are not highly discriminative a robust machine learning to obtain high accuracy levels is used. An android app is developed to gather data and send to cloud for data storage. The user is validated based on the decisions from the classifiers. The proposed work does not need any extra model for data collection as it uses the data gathered for health monitoring purpose, it can be used for low cost applications.
Breast carcinoma at Coast Province General Hospital- Mombasa Kenya

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the pattern of breast cancer in patients presenting with the disease at Coast General Hospital in Mombasa-Kenya. Methods: This was a three year retrospective study of clinical and operative records of 43 patients who had mastectomy done for breast cancer. Results: A third of the 43 patients were under 40 years of age. The left breast was more commonly affected. Only 5 patients presented with early carcinoma. Less than 33% had chemotherapy. The majority of the patients had ductal carcinoma and most had FNAC done before surgery. Conclusion: Most patients present with breast cancer present late and do not access all the modalities of management. Breast health awareness and cancer screening would help to detect breast cancer at an early stage and this would improve the outcome.
PREVALENCE OF SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA AMONG CERVICAL CANCER PATIENTS IN IGBOS OF NIGERIA

The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of squamous cell carcinoma among the Igbos in Nigeria and to assess the relative associations of factors like age and parity on the disease. Reports on 206 histological diagnosed cervical cancer cases were reviewed. The tissue blocks of these cases were also retrieved and sectioned at 5μm with rotary microtome. They were then stained with hematoxylin and eosin techniques for general tissue architecture and diagnosis. The stained slides were then viewed and confirmed under high power microscope. Of this number, 125 (60.5%) had squamous cell carcinoma and some infiltration of eosinophils in some of the stroma adjacent to the tumour cells. Prime clinical findings included irregular vaginal bleeding, vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain and post coital bleeding. The mean age of presentation was 62±6.4 years. Age and parity of the patients appeared to be significantly associated with prevalence of the disease. Early detection and prompt treatment of cervical cancer patients is recommended in order to reduce the associated and ever increasing rate of mortality and morbidity.
The Effect of the Inhibition Technique of the Kinesio Taping on the Triceps Surae Muscle after an Isokinetic Fatigue Protocol

Over the last three decades, the uses of elastic adhesive taping methods have gained in popularity especially during the Olympic competitions in 2008 [1-3]. After lot of research and experimentations, Dr Kenzo Kase [4] pioneered the introduction of the Kinesio Taping (KT) in Japan in the late 1970s, as a new form of applying the adhesive tape. The tape is made of a polymer elastic and adhesive strand wrapped by 100 % cotton fibers which can be stretched up to 140% of its original and resting length. So by applying this elastic tape we may achieve a less constraining mechanism in comparison with more rigid conventional tape. The above-mentioned tape has approximately the same thickness as the human skin epidermis [4]. As for its biomechanical effects, Taping has been recognized for its ability to lift the skin from the underlying fascia and soft tissue, which results in an increasing in blood circulation and enhances the lymphatic flow, hence leading to an increased oxygen allotment to the muscles and a noticeable attenuation of any inflammation [4]. On the one hand, medical doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapist chiropractors and certified athletic trainers have been using the elastic taping in their clinical practice when treating orthopedic and sport injuries, yet, limited research with contradictory results has been conducted to evaluate the real effectiveness and mechanism of the taping applications [2,5,6].
Impact of Tungiasis on acquisition of basic education among children aged 5-14 years in Murang’a County, Kenya

Background Millions of school age children all over the world are out of school due to various reasons which range from disabilities caused by diseases, natural calamities, insecurity, and poor infrastructure to lack of basic amenities. Tungiasis is a neglected disease that is caused by female Tungiasis flea,Tungapenetrans that embeds on the hosts , epidermis. This Study was carried out to determine Tungiasis prevalence among school age children 5-14 years and to relate the disease status to acquisition of basic education. Methodology A cross-sectional descriptive research design in which 200 households were systematically randomly selected from which a maximum of two children aged 5-14 years were recruited adding to a total of 384 children. Questionnaires, interview guide, observation check list and physical examination guide were used to collect data. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS version 21 software.Correlations and regression tests, Wald chi square test were carried out in addition to descriptive statistics.

Comparative Efficacy of Different Fungicides against Late Blight Diseases of Potato incited by Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary and its Management

Bangladesh is mainly an agro-based country. It is a thickly populated small country with an area of 14.48 million ha. According to an estimate by Bhuiyan et al. [1], net cultivable land would decrease from 8.42 million ha in 2000 to 7.89 million ha in 2025 and population would increase from 127.22 million in 2000 to 168.96 million in 2025. The per capita net cultivable land would reduce from 0.066 ha in 2000 to 0.047 ha in 2025 [1]. The population has doubled in the last 30 years despite a decline in the annual population growth rate from 2.26 in 1961 to 1.47 in 2004. Potato is a staple food in the developed countries and which accounts for 37% of the total production in the world [2]. Considering the trend of population growth and consequently the increased demand for food in the country and dwindling cultivable land area, the potato is likely to play a vital role in the future. For the whole year, it is used as the main vegetables. Potato production in Bangladesh in the fiscal year (FY) 2012-2013, hit a new record of 8.603 million tones surpassing the record of 8.38 million tons in FY’2011. The production witnessed a negative growth in FY’2012 when it plunged to 8.205 million tones 2.08 percent fall compared to that of FY’2011. The Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) in its latest release, said potato, the most consumed vegetable item of the country was cultivated on 0.444 million hectares of land in FY’13. The acreage had increased by 14,000 hectares compared to that of FY’2012 which also helped achieve a higher output. Potato was produced on 4.6 million hectares in FY’2011. On the other hand, in Bangladesh, exports crossed the onelac-tons (0.1 million ton) mark for the first time in the FY 2013-14, rising threefold from only 28,416 tons in the previous year, according to the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE). Earning also trebled to $33.82 million in 2013-2014 compared to the previous year, Export Promotion Bureau data shows, this is a milestone. Potato is one of the main commercial crops grown all over the country. In Bangladesh, potato is mainly consumed as vegetables. Various other food items (Singara, Samucha, Chop, chips, different first food etc.) are also made from potato. Adequate supply of potato stabilizes the vegetable market all round the year. Recently, the government has been trying to diversify food habits and encourage potato consumption to reduce pressure on rice. So, potato is becoming an important food for food security in Bangladesh. So Potato is one of the leading vegetable crops with immense yield potential giving remunerative income to the farmers and having excellent nutritional value.

A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Accuracy of Visual Inspection of the Uterine Cervix with Acetic Acid at a Tertiary Care setting in Kinshasa, DR Congo

Objective The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and performance of visual inspection of the cervix with acetic acid (VIA) as a primary tool for cervical cancer screening. Design Cross-sectional study on the accuracy of VIA as cervical cancer screening method. Population Women attending Kinshasa University Hospital for routine gynecologic examination from July 2009 to April 2010. Methods After an informed consent was obtained, the woman’s history was recorded, VIA was performed by a nurse; and then all the women were scheduled for colposcopy. The women who were assessed as abnormal on colposcopy and a 10% random sample of women with normal colposcopy result were subjected to biopsy. Results Among the 350 cases, 70 cases showed abnormal appearance on VIA. On colposcopy examinations there were 57 cases of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL), seven cases of high grade SIL and nine cases of cancer. One hundred and six biopsies were carried out, picking up 70 cases of SIL and nine cancers. Compared to colposcopy, Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV and NPV for VIA were respectively 89%, 98%, 93% et 97%. Compared to biopsy, they were respectively 81%, 82%, 94% and 61 %. Conclusion VIA is feasible and can be used as a primary screening tool for cervical cancer screening in low-resource settings or where cytology programs are unavailable.
Prevalence of Intestinal Parasitic and Bacterial Pathogens in Diarrhoeal and Non-diarrhoeal School Children’s at Hail, Saudi *Mohamed

Diarrhoeal diseases constitute one of the most important causes of illness and death all over the world. This study will assess and monitoring the presence of intestinal parasites as well as bacterial pathogens among school children’s at Hail city. Stool samples were collected from 200 schoolchildren’s and were analyzed by standard microbiological and parasitological techniques. The incidence of Cryptosporidium spp. (50%), Giardia lamblia (42%), and Entamoeba histolytica (30%) were the most common parasitic agents which are detected in diarrhoea stool samples, while the incidence of Entamoeba coli (8%) and Ascaris lumbericoides (6%) were unexpectedly low. Entrobius vermicularis was highly significant (p = 0.003). The isolation of about six different bacterial isolates, especially Escherichia coli confirms the fact that these organisms play an important role in the etiology of intestinal tract infection in Hail. We found that E. coli was the most frequently isolated bacteria in both diarrhoea and non-diarrhoea stool samples was (88%) and (85.3%), respectively. However, the incidence of all bacterial isolates in diarrhoeal stool samples were significant (p=0.001). This depicts these bacteria as veritable etiological pathogen of infectious childhood diarrhoea. The disk diffusion testing for the antibiotic susceptibility illustrates a generally increased resistance to Ampicillin, by all bacteria isolates tested. While most of bacterial isolates showed high susceptibility to Augmentin, Ciprofloxacin, Ofloxacin and Ceftazidime. [Mohamed A. Fareid, Ibrahem M. Alshankyty and Omar, H. Amer.

The Effect of Surface treatment on the Properties of Woven Banana Fabric based Unsaturated Polyester Resin Composites

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of silane treatment on woven banana fabric based unsaturated polyester resin composites. The fabric was treated with vinyl triethoxysilane. Woven banana fabric (WBF) reinforced unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) composites were fabricated by hand lay-up technique. The fabric content in the composite was kept constant to 35 %. The variation in the mechanical properties (Tensile and Flexural strength) and water absorption were studied. Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was utilized to characterize the chemically modified fibers. Reduction in water absorption of silane treated WBF/UPR composite was observed. The improved fiber–matrix interaction after silane treatment is evident from the enhanced tensile and flexural

The effect of some factors on micro propagation of P. amboinicus plant in vitro. The results clearly showed that, White's medium recorded the best results in most of growth parameters was recorded in nodes explant comparing with MS and B5 media. BA 1.0 mg/ l in addition to White's medium was significant increasing of shoot number/ explant, while White's medium free hormone (control) was recorded the highest values in survival and rooting percentage, shoot number/ explant and shoot length cm / explant comparing with IBA (from 0.5 to 4.0 mg/l.). Also data showed that, Peat moss and sand interaction (growing media) were recorded the best result in acclimatization of rooted plants comparing with peat moss or sand individually. in a greenhouse of controlled temperature, as well as studying the effect of different seasons in and out normal greenhouse conditions, The results clearly showed the effect of temperature on the survival percentage of plants during acclimatization with significant difference (p<0.05), as the highest significant percentages of survival were obtained with the degrees 31 and 36 oC compared to the other treatments. Interestingly, the results indicated that the summer and autumn showed higher percentages of survival and growth rate compared to the other seasons. However, the best result was observed in the summer. The quantity of essential oil of plant was ≥ 0.6 % (V/W) of yellowish volatile oil, from analysis of the oil using GC and GC/MS; it was obvious that it contained 23 compounds where Limonene represented the highest percentage (40%) while Junipene was the lowest one (0.54 %). The antioxidant activity, total phenolic compounds and flavonoid contents were investigated in plants grown in and out the normal greenhouse. The obtained results outside the greenhouse were 38 %, 77 μg and 65 μg, while the results inside the greenhouse were 29 %, 35 μg % and 31μg %, respectively. The antimicrobial activity against yeasts and bacteria was assessed in broth micro-dilution assays to determine antibiotic sensitivity testing and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) necessary to inhibit microbial growth, our results showed that essential oil of P. amboinicus could be used as a tool for the developing novel and more efficacious antimicrobial agents.
Treatment of Kulim and Kuala Sepetang Landfills Leachates in Malaysia using Poly-Aluminium Chloride (PACl)

The main concern in sanitary landfill management is leachate generation that is known to be highly polluted wastewater. Migrations of untreated leachates are potential sources of hazardous contaminants in soil, groundwater and surface water. This paper is focused on landfill leachate treatment by coagulation-flocculation process using poly-aluminum chloride (PACl) as coagulant. The performance of PACl was evaluated by removal of suspended solid (SS), turbidity, colour, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) by jar-test experiments. Samples used in this study were collected from Kulim Landfill Site (KLS) and Kuala Sepetang Landfill Site (KSLS) in Malaysia. The results show that, pH optimum for KLS was obtained at pH 7 while KSLS at pH 6. In this study, optimum dosage of PACl for KLS and KSLS leachates was concluded at 500 mg/L and 1000 mg/L respectively. At optimum dosage, PACl successfully removed 98% SS, 92% turbidity, 100% colour, and 70% COD in KLS leachates while the removal percentage of SS, turbidity, colour and COD in KSLS leachate were 94%, 96%, 95%, and 70% respectively. These results showed a good performance of PACl as coagulants in landfill leachates treatment. However, PACl was less effective in treating NH3-N. Low removal efficiency may be due to NH3-N and PACl cationic nature, it is suggested that additional of coagulant aids with anionic characteristic may improve the performance of coagulation–flocculation process in removing contaminants like NH3-N in landfill leachates.
EFFECT OF ATROPINE AND GLYCOPYRROLATE IN PATIENTS WITH ORGANOPHOSPHATE POISONING

: Objective: To determine the drug therapy effects of atropine alone and the combined therapy of atropine and glycopyrrolate in patients with organophosphate poisoning. Patients and methods: Total one hundred patients with history of organophosphorus poisoning were included in the study. These patients were divided in to two groups with 50 patients each. One group was treated with atropine alone while the other group was treated with atropine in combination with glycopyrrolate. The results of treatment of both groups were compared after 48 hours of the treatment and data was analyzed on SPSS version 18.0 and statically evaluated by using paired student T-test. Results: During one year study period total one hundred patients with OP poisoning were evaluate as far as management is concerned. The mean ± for age (years) for overall population was 23.74±4.72. The group-A consisted of 50 patients out of which 28 were males and 22 were females. All belonged to the mean age of 22.82 ± 1.166% mostly from rural areas (62%). The group–B also consisted of 50 patients with 29 males and 21 females having mean age of 22.88 ± 1.1. Majority of patients in this group i-e 88% belonged to rural areas with 56% of them were from low economic status. The mortality rate among patients treated with atropine alone was 20% (10 patients), whereas the mortality rate recorded with a combined therapy of on atropine and glycopyrrolate therapy was only 8% (P> 0.05). Conclusion: Since, glycopyrrolate doesn’t cross the blood brain barrier thus; it has no effects on Central Nervous System. Therefore, the combined therapy of atropine with glycopyrrolate showed more positive results as compared to therapy with atropine alone, in the management of mild to moderate cases of organophosphate poisoning.
Low-Frequency Seismogenic Electromagnetic Emissions as I Precursors to Earthquakes and Volcanic Eruptions in Japan

A multipoint network was constructed in the Tokyo area for earthquake prediction using seismogenic electromagnetic emissions. The network consists of eight observation points within 50 km of each other. Each point has a digital direction-finding detector with two loop sensors tuned to 82 kHz. The output signals of the receivers are added into a digital vector composition circuit to obtain the direction angle of the source point, and this signal is telemetered to the central computer. To protect from false alarms caused by local man-made noise interference, the warning is announced only when there is a high cross-correlation between almost all detectors pointing to one small area. The mechanism of these earthquake precursors can be explained as electromagnetic emissions from the rocks around the focus when they are crushed completely by the distortion pressure. These emissions propagate along the fault plane as an EM surface wave mode and radiate from the slit antenna formed by the intersection of the fault plane and ground surface. In the last five years, we have detected impulsive noise bursts of seismogenic emissions at 82 kHz, 1.525 kHz, and 36 Hz using our multipoint detection network around the Tokyo region and Izu peninsula. This system has recorded EM signals prior to the following events: volcanic eruptions on November 15 and 2 1, 1986 at Mt. Mihara on Ohshima Island, and on July 12, 1989 in Itoh Bay in the Izu peninsula region, and also a minor earthquake on October 14, 1989 at Ohshima Island.
