Mobile no – 9604200292 E-Mail: sbvedpathak@gmail.com Introduction: Prediction of gestational age (GA) based on sonographic fetal parameters is essential in modern obstetrics and continues to remain an important component in the management of pregnancies. A variety of sonographic fetal parameters have been shown to correlate well with gestational age. Transcerebellar diameter (TCD) is one such fetal parameter that has remained consistently superior in predicting gestational age. Aims and objective: Compare the efficacy of transverse diameter of fetal cerebellum and length of fetal femur in predicting gestational age. Materials and Methods: About 100 pregnant women seeking antenatal care and undergoing routine ultrasound examination were selected for the study. Fetal transverse cerebellar diameter and femoral length measurements were recorded along with gestational age. Ultrasonographic fetal maturity was determined using all biometric parameters and efficacy of transcerebellar diameter and femoral length was compared. Results: Patients were divided into five groups as per their gestational age. In each group mean and standard deviation for values of TCD and FL was calculated and their statistical significance is found out. Discussion: Our study found that both TCD and FL go on increasing as gestational age increases. Results of this study are compared with other workers. Conclusion: Our study shows that TCD is equivalent to FL as a biometric parameter for evaluating gestational age in first & second trimester but it less effective than FL in the third trimester.
Attitudes of Czech primary school pupils towards people with intellectual disabilities: the role of experience and participant demographics

ABSTRACT This research study aimed to identify and analyse attitudes of Czech primary school pupils towards people with intellectual disabilities (ID). In total 2295 pupils aged 10 to 15 years participated in the study. The questionnaire based on the Likert scale design was utilised as the research tool. Its items were divided into four dimensions (interpersonal liking; social status and rights of people with ID; social integration; fear) using explorative factor analysis. The effect of pupils’ socio-demographic characteristics (gender, school year attended and their declared experience with ID person) was modelled using multiple regression analysis. Pupils’ attitudes towards ID were rather positive overall. Neutral/negative attitudes were found in the dimension called “social integration of people with ID”, or rather their integration into regular primary schools to join peers without disabilities. The “personal experience with person with ID” proved to be the most significant predictor of all outcomes and it affected pupils’ attitudes towards ID in the most positive way. Differences in pupils’ attitudes were determined in relation to the effect of gender and the school year attended. In relation to the research findings, the study limitations and recommendations for further research are discussed.
Constructing a conceptual framework for professional identity development in international social work students: A meta-ethnographic review

There has been a significant increase of international students in Australian social work education over the past decade. Issues around international students’ language skills, cultural capital or competence, special needs and field education experiences have been explored in social work literature. However, the literature to date has a tendency to focus on international students’ deficits, or the strategies implemented to address the identified deficits. Professional identity, a critical aspect of social work education, remains an under-researched topic in international students. Professional identity development in social work is often considered a complex process which is influenced by interacting internal or external factors. For example, personal or cultural identities can contribute to professional identity development in social work students in general, while discrimination or institutional oppression is found to negatively affect professional identity development in social work students. Intersectionality sees a person’s identity as fluid and multifold, and offers a useful framework for understanding identity issues in international students. Applying the concept of intersectionality, this meta-ethnography reviews six qualitative studies, guided by the seven phrases established by Noblit and Hare. The findings show professional identity development in international students can be influenced by interacting personal, linguistic, professional, academic, cultural and social factors. An intersecting model incorporating the six identified key themes was developed to provide a conceptual framework for professional identity development in international social work students.
Perceptions of cyber bullying in primary and secondary schools among student teachers in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa

Cyber bullying has become a topical issue among school learners in South Africa. However, there is very little guidance for schools on how to deal with cyber bullying from the South African Department of Basic Education. This study investigated the perceptions of cyber bullying in primary and secondary schools among student teachers in the Eastern Cape. The study made use of a quantitative survey approach to collect data from 150 student teachers at a university in the Eastern Cape. The student teachers were representative of all four of the school phases. The results indicated that cyber bullying is a serious issue at the schools but that the topic has not been incorporated into policy or the school curriculum yet. The recommendation of the study is that the South African Department of Basic Education must provide a standardized policy that schools can use to implement and enforce cyber safety behavior in the schools.
Clinical features and outcomes of 2019 novel coronavirus-infected patients with cardiac injury

Aims To explore the epidemiological and clinical features of 2019 novel coronavirus(2019-nCoV)-infected patients with cardiac injury . Methods and results Data were collected from patients medical records, and we defined cardiac injury according to cardiac biomarker troponin I level > 0.03>ug/L. Among the 291 patients, 15 (5.2%) showed evidence of cardiac injury. Of 16 hospitalized patients with cardiac injury, the median age was 62 years, and 11/15 (73.3%) were men. Underlying cardiovascular diseases in some patients were hypertension (n=7, 46.6%), coronary heart disease (n=3, 20%) and diabetes (n=3, 20%). The most common symptoms at illness onset in patients with cardiac injury were fever (n=11, 73.3%), cough (n=7, 46.7%), headache or fatigue (n=5, 33.3%) and dyspnoea (n=4, 26.6%). These patients had higher systolic pressures, and lower lymphocyte counts and platelet counts, compared with patients without cardiac injury, respectively. Bilateral infiltrates on chest X-ray and elevated C-reactive protein occurred in all patients with cardiac injury. Compared with patients without cardiac injury, patients with cardiac injury were more likely to develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (73.3%), and receive mechanical ventilation (53.4%), continuous renal replacement therapy (33.3%), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (26.7%) and vasopressor therapy (26.7%) and be admitted to the intensive care unit (73.3%). One patient died during the study. Conclusion Cardiac injury is a common condition among patients infected with 2019-nCoV.Compared with patients without cardiac injury, the clinical outcomes of patients with cardiac injury are relatively worse. Keywords: 2019-nCoV, Cardiac injury, Clinical features

The sperm parameters and prediction of IUI success

Aim: We aimed to compare the different sperm motility parameters in pregnant and non-pregnant patients who underwent IUI in our tertiary center. Material and Methods: Total of 110 gonadotrophin plus IUI patients were evaluated between 2017 January and January 2020 in this retrospective study. Some demographic features and infertility time, post-wash sperm parameters and basal hormone levels were compared between pregnant and non-pregnant patients and the regression analysis method was used to evaluate IUI success between other parameters. Results: Endometrial thickness (9.1±1.4 vs.7.6±1.4 ) on hCG triggering day and , post-wash progressive sperm motility value together with the a ratio and infertility time were correlated well with IUI success (ie pregnacy result ) between 38 pregnant and 72 non pregnant patients. Conclusion: After wash progressive sperm ratio may predict IUI success with infertility time and endometrial thickness.
A System for Massively Parallel Hyperparameter Tuning

Modern learning models are characterized by large hyperparameter spaces and long training times. These properties, coupled with the rise of parallel computing and the growing demand to productionize machine learning workloads, motivate the need to develop mature hyperparameter optimization functionality in distributed computing settings. We address this challenge by first introducing a simple and robust hyperparameter optimization algorithm called ASHA, which exploits parallelism and aggressive early-stopping to tackle large-scale hyperparameter optimization problems. Our extensive empirical results show that ASHA outperforms existing state-of-the-art hyperparameter optimization methods; scales linearly with the number of workers in distributed settings; and is suitable for massive parallelism, as demonstrated on a task with 500 workers. We then describe several design decisions we encountered, along with our associated solutions, when integrating ASHA in Determined AI's end-to-end production-quality machine learning system that offers hyperparameter tuning as a service.
Agri-Food Markets towards Sustainable Patterns

In recent decades, the confluence of different global and domestic drivers has led to progressive and unpredictable changes in the functioning and structure of agri-food markets worldwide. Given the unsustainability of the current agri-food production, processing, distribution and consumption patterns, and the inadequate governance of the whole food system, the transition to sustainable agriculture and food systems has become crucial to effectively manage a global agri-food market able in supporting expected population growth and ensuring universal access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food for all. Based on a critical review of the existing international literature, the paper seeks to understand the evolutionary paths of sustainability issues within agri-food markets by analyzing their drivers and trends. An extensive analysis was conducted highlighting the development and importance of the body of knowledge on the most important sustainability transition frameworks, focusing mainly on the relationship between markets, trade, food and nutrition security, and other emerging issues within agri-food markets. Finally, the study makes suggestions to extend the research in order to improve basic knowledge and to identify opportunities to design meaningful actions that can shape agri-food markets and foster their transition to sustainability.

Advancement of Routing Protocols and Applications of Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN) - A Survey

Water covers a greater part of the Earth’s surface. However, little knowledge has been achieved regarding the underwater world as most parts of it remain unexplored. Oceans, including other water bodies, hold substantial natural resources and also the aquatic lives. These are mostly undiscovered and unknown due to the unsuited and hazardous underwater environments for the human. This inspires the unmanned exploration of these dicey environments. Neither unmanned exploration nor the distant real-time monitoring is possible without deploying Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN). Consequently, UWSN has drawn the interests of the researchers recently. This vast underwater world is possible to be monitored remotely from a distant location with much ease and less risk. The UWSN is required to be deployed over the volume of the water body to monitor and surveil. For vast water bodies like oceans, rivers and large lakes, data is collected from the different heights/depths of the water level which is then delivered to the surface sinks. Unlike terrestrial communication and radio waves, conventional mediums do not serve the purpose of underwater communication due to their high attenuation and low underwater-transmission range. Instead, an acoustic medium is able to transmit data in underwater more efficiently and reliably in comparison to other mediums. To transmit and relay the data reliably from the bottom of the sea to the sinks at the surface, multi-hop communication is utilized with different schemes. For seabed to surface sink communication, leading researchers proposed different routing protocols. The goal of these routing protocols is to make underwater communications more reliable, energy-efficient and delay efficient. This paper surveys the advancement of some of the routing protocols which eventually helps in finding the most efficient routing protocol and some recent applications for the UWSN. This work also summarizes the remaining challenging issues and the future trends of those considered routing protocols. This survey encourages further research efforts to improve the routing protocols of UWSN for enhanced underwater monitoring and exploration.

The Board Model Corporate Governance Mechanism and Financial Performance of Non-financial Listed Chinese Firms

Corporate governance is widely suggested by economists and regulators as a solution to reduce agency problems and improve firm performance. However previous studies have failed to generate consistent results. Using a dynamic panel system GMM estimator to alleviate endogeneity concerns we determine the effect of corporate board structure on the performance of a panel of 1265 Chinese firms listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2010 to 2016. We compare the dynamic system GMM estimator to some commonly used estimators; ordinary least squares (OLS), fixed effects (FE) and the dynamic OLS, and show that these estimates are biased due to endogeneity. The dynamic system GMM estimator incorporates the dynamic nature of internal governance choices to provide valid and powerful instruments that address unobserved heterogeneity and simultaneity. Our results show support for the board model corporate governance mechanism. We find that board size is positive and significantly related to both return on assets and total net profit margin. In addition board independence is positive and significantly related to return on assets but insignificantly related to total net profit margin. Duality was found to have a negative but statistically insignificant relation with firm performance.
Geological and tectonic controls on morphometrics of submarine landslides of the Spanish margins

Abstract A geomorphological analysis of the submarine landslides geographical information system catalogue of the Geological Survey of Spain has revealed three main groups of submarine landslides associated with (1) deep-ocean seamount ridges (extinct spreading centres), (2) volcanic islands and (3) continental margins. These three groups have statistically significant morphometric differences, as determined from analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's HSD Tests, in total length (runout), total area, maximum deposit width and bathymetric depth. Volcanic island-related slope failures affect larger areas of the seafloor and their headwall escarpments often extend above sea-level. Slope failures associated with seamount ridges are the deepest, between 3500 and 5500 m, and display relatively high width-to-length ratios. Finally, landslides on continental margins show two sub-groups. Landslides on tectonically controlled margins have smaller runouts and total area and larger average slope gradients than margins where tectonic controls are limited. These results demonstrate that submarine landslide morphology is strongly controlled by the geological-tectonic setting.
