Anxiety, Depression and Sleep Disturbances among Renal Disorders in Tertiary Care Center

Depression is the most general psychiatric disease in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Depression exposed to affect mortality in end-stage renal disease patient. The main focus of this study was to measure the occurrence of painful symptoms among CKD patients. Co-morbid depression influences harmfully on the excellence of life in Chronic Kidney Disease patients. This study was done to calculate predominance of depression inpatient on hemodialysis (HD) using Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression-17 and International Classification of Disease-10 classification of mental and behavioural disorders. It was a cross-sectional study conducted from December 2019 till July 2020, in Nandhyala, Kurnool district region. Informed and written consent was taken. Patients undergoing hemodialysis at the Nandhyala, Kurnool district region for more than three months duration were involved in the study. Psychiatrists monitored Hamilton Rating scale for diagnosis and categorization of depression. Psychiatrists confirmed depression based on International Classification of Disease-10 scale. SPSS version.20 was used for statistical analysis. The study was done among 300 patients. Prevalence of depression was 234 using Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)and 195 using Hamilton Rating scale (HAD-17)and 153 using International Classification of Disease -10 (ICD-10). Mean depression in females using PHQ-9 was 7±4.33 and in males was 11.04±5.90, and the Median age was 47.6 years. The most common symptom was fatigue among 246. There is a high occurrence of depression in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stage 5 on hemodialysis compared to the general population.
Effect of Plasma Activated Water, Hydrogen Peroxide, and Nitrates on Lettuce Growth and Its Physiological Parameters

Cold plasma generated by atmospheric pressure air discharge is a source of various gaseous reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). When the plasma is generated in a contact with water, the RONS dissolve into water, change its chemical composition, while producing so-called plasma activated water (PAW). The PAW has the potential to be effectively used in various agricultural applications, as the long lived liquid RONS (H2O2, NO2, NO3) may act like signaling molecules in plant metabolism or serve as nutrients. We studied the effect of the PAW on lettuce plants and compared it with the effect of H2O2 and/or NO3 solutions of various concentrations to assess their role in the PAW. The PAW was generated from tap water by DC driven self-pulsing transient spark discharge. Pre-grown lettuce plants were cultivated in pots with soil and irrigated with the PAW or solutions of H2O2 and/or NO3. After 5 weeks the growth parameters, number and quality of leaves, fresh and dry weight of plants, photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll a + b) content, photosynthetic rate, and activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, SOD) were evaluated. Lettuce plants irrigated with the PAW in comparison with chemically equivalent solution of H2O2 and NO3 had similar dry weight; however, the PAW induced higher photosynthetic pigment content, higher photosynthetic rate, and lower activity of SOD. The NO3 mainly contributed to the increase of dry weight, photosynthetic pigment content, photosynthetic rate, and overall better appearance of plants. The H2O2 contributed to an increase of dry weight and induced SOD activity. In general, H2O2 and NO3 in proper concentrations can stimulate plant growth and affect their physiological properties.
A comprehensive rotary-wing data base for code validation: the HART II international workshop

Abstract The HART II test of 2001 provided a significant and comprehensive database of rotor loads, blade motion, blade pressure distribution, acoustic signature and flow field data. A sub-set of these were released for public access worldwide and an International HART II Workshop was established in 2005. This Workshop, open to the international rotorcraft community, has been held since then at both the AHS Annual Forum as well as the European Rotorcraft Forum. Following the requests of participants, the HART II International Workshop database has been undergoing continuous development. This paper describes the current content and status of the data and the documentation material provided within the workshop database.

We present Molecular Dynamics and Quasi Harmonic Lattice Dynamics calculations for the crystal structure of argon as a function of temperature. We find that Quasi Harmonic Lattice Dynamics is an accurate method which remains usable even very close to the melting temperature. (*) We dedicate this work to the fond memory of Professor Carlo Zauli, a mentor of many theorists and spectroscopists during his lifetime (April 27th 1931–May 2nd 1994).
Polymorphism and diversity studies of insulin-like growth factor I gene among indigenous and FUNAAB Alpha chicken breeds in Nigeria

The Insulin-like growth factor gene (IGF-1) is an important candidate gene responsible for growth, body composition, metabolism, skeletal characteristics and fat deposition in chicken. Little or no work has been done on the sequence analysis of IGF1 gene in FUNAAB Alpha chicken breed. Therefore, this study was designed to examine the polymorphisms and genetic diversities of the IGF-1 gene among Nigerian indigenous and improved indigenous (FUNAAB Alpha) chicken breeds. A total of 120 chickens comprising of 20 each from Frizzle feathered, Normal Feathered, Naked neck, FUNAAB-Alpha 1 (DHR), FUNAAB-Alpha 2 (TRH) and Arbor Acre were used for the study. Approximately 2 ml of blood collected from each chicken was used for genomic DNA extraction following the protocol of Qiagen DNA extraction kits. PCR was carried out and the PCR amplicons were outsourced to Stabvida Laboratory, Portugal for sequencing. The results of the analysis indicated a total of 21 polymorphic sites and 12 haplotypes across all the sampled chickens. The number of haplotypes varied from five in DHR and four in Naked neck to three and one in Arbor Acre and Frizzle feathered, respectively. The naked neck was the most superior in terms of nucleotide diversity per site (0.00307), nucleotide difference (1.67974) and the number of variable sites, indicative of its evolutionary adaptability to the prevailing environmental conditions of the tropics and high potential as genetic resources for domestic chicken improvement.

Toward a Semantic Representation of the Joconde Database

—The Joconde database is a French database, which describes about 600,000 works from French art collections. In the Data&Mus´ee project, we process data from museums and monuments. We have chosen to model the data using a knowledge graph approach. We enrich the data of the project partners with data from other sources. In this article, we present the semantic representation that we have adopted for the Joconde database and the methods used to obtain this representation. Our semantic representation of the Joconde database is available as Open data as the SemJoconde dataset. We believe that the SemJoconde data can become useful references for work on the use of semantic techniques in the cultural ﬁeld.
Assessing Health Damages from Improper Disposal of Solid Waste in Metropolitan Islamabad–Rawalpindi, Pakistan

Rapid urbanization in developing countries leads to a dramatic increase in solid waste production, with serious socio-economic and ecological impacts. In order to avoid the associated hazards, particularly those related to human health and the environment, solid waste management is indispensable. Disposal of municipal waste that predominantly comprises household and commercial refuse has become a daunting task for local governments and municipalities of Pakistan. Issues related to both inadequacy of service delivery and inappropriate disposal signify that waste management should be high on the local environment policy agenda. In particular, the external cost of waste management is high, and cost recovery of refuse collection may cause the exclusion of many households and additional costs on the households that avail themselves of the service. In this study, we carried out an evaluation of the health damage caused by improper waste disposal in a sample of heterogeneous households. The study shows a framework for evaluating the damages caused by inadequate waste management practices. The results indicate that irregular disposal in the vicinity of residents causes illness: respondents living within 100 m are more vulnerable to malaria, dengue, and asthma than those living more than 500 m away. Moreover, the findings highlight that households lack knowledge of waste hazards and 75.9% of waste is not segregated. We suggest a subsidized waste collection and disposal service provided either by the local government or by outsourcing.

The value of effectiveness test in this study obtained an N-gain value of 16.74, which belonged to the low category (low effective).
Reconciliation of pH25 and pHinsitu acidification rates of the surface oceans: A simple conversion using only in situ temperature

Seawater pH is frequently measured at 25°C (pH25), and can be converted thermodynamically to pH at the in situ temperature (T), (pHinsitu) using an additional carbonate chemistry parameter, which is the total alkalinity (TA), dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), or the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) of seawater. Although rates of temporal change of pHinsitu ( βpHinsitu ) and pH25 ( βpH25 ) are both extensively used in studies of ocean acidification, the difference between βpHinsitu and βpH25 has not yet been quantified. This study deducts from 816 sets of data of the surface oceans over wide ranges of T (1–31°C) from six time series to reveal that the difference between calculated pHinsitu and pH25 is a1 (T − 25°C), where a1 is a nearly constant of −0.0151 pH unit °C−1. We illustrate that βpHinsitu equals ( βpH25 + a1 βT ), where βT is the rate of temporal change of T. We further show that uneven distributions of sampling points significantly widen the difference between βpHinsitu and βpH25 , making the degree of ocean acidification unclear. Distributions of a1 values are modeled for the surfaces of the global oceans at various pCO2 levels, and they closely match the observations from the studied time series. Without the use of an additional carbonate chemistry parameter, the pHinsitu and pH25, as well as βpHinsitu and βpH25 can now be converted into each other using only T, facilitating the study of the changing carbonate chemistry of seawater under the influences of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration.
Deformation of coordination polyhedra and their sheets in phyllosilicates

A statistical evaluation of crystal-structure data for 112 phyllosilicates (85 micas, 14 1:1 phyllosilicates, 13 chlorites) shows that the same principles govern the geometry of polyhedra and their sheets irrespective of the phyllosilicate subgroup. Regression relations for octahedral distortions and tetrahedral rotation as a function of interatomic distances are proposed. Multiple regressions were used to obtain generalized values for bond lengths and ionic radii for elements in different coordination. Using the relations derived here, it is possible to start with a chemical composition plus an anticipated cation ordering pattern and obtain estimates of the individual bond lengths and distortion characteristics of the crystal structure concerned. These can be translated into atomic coordinates and, ultimately, into peak intensities on diffraction patterns. The geometry of the coordination of interlayer cations in the micas shows considerable variation and the effective coordination number is seen to correlate with the tetrahedral rotation angle α. When the coordination drops to six, this angle may vary between 16° and 24°
EVALUATION OF THE TREATABILITY OF MUNICIPAL WASTE LANDFILL LEACHATE IN A SBR AND BY COAGULATION-FLOCCULATION ON A BENCH SCALE

This article describes bench scale sequential, biological and coagulation-flocculation treatment of mature leachate for the removal of nitrogen and biodegradable and recalcitrant carbonaceous material. The biological stage was conducted on two SBRs, one of which inoculated with nitrifying sludge, another without an inoculum, for 152 and 133 days, respectively. The coagulation-flocculation stage used four coagulants at different doses and pH adjustments. The treatment conducted on the inoculated SBR when a pH control was used produced mean removals of BOD5, COD and TKN of 69.6%, 38.5% and 51.6%, respectively, and practically complete denitrification. Coagulation-flocculation applied to the effluent of the inoculated biological reactor showed a superior effectiveness of the ferric coagulants, when the pH was adjusted to close to 6.0, producing removals of turbidity, COD and true color close to 95%, 78% and 92%, respectively.
Brazilian Version of the Protocole Montréal d'Évaluation de la Communication (Protocole MEC): Normative and Reliability Data

The lack of standardized instruments to evaluate communication disorders related to the right hemisphere was verified. A new evaluation tool was developed: Protocole Montréal d'Évaluation de la Communication – Protocole MEC, adapted to Brazilian Portuguese – Bateria Montreal de Avaliação da Comunicação – Bateria MAC (Montreal Evaluation of Communication Battery). The purpose was to present stratified normative data by age and educational level, and to verify the reliability parameters of the MEC Battery. 300 individuals, between the ages of 19 and 75 years, and levels of formal education between 2 and 35 years, participated in this study. They were divided equally into six normative groups, according to three age categories (young adults, intermediary age, and seniors) and two educational levels (low and high). Two procedures were used to check reliability: Cronbach alpha and reliability between evaluators. Results were established at the 10th percentile, and an alert point per task for each normative group. Cronbach's alpha was, in general, between . 70 and . 90 and the average rate of agreement between evaluators varied from . 62 to . 94. Standards of age and education were established. The reliability of this instrument was verified. The psychometric legitimization of the MEC Battery will contribute to the diagnostic process for communicative disorders.

Depression in Institutionalized Adolescents: The Role of Memories of Warmth and Safeness, Shame and Self-criticism

Abstract Institutionalization is a current problem, related to several indicators of psychological maladjustment. In the same way, there are several studies that point to the role of shame and self-criticism in the development of psychopathology. Therefore, our study explored, in institutionalized adolescents, whether early memories of warmth and safeness (EMWS) were associated to depression through external shame and self-criticism. The sample included 171 institutionalized adolescents (60.2% girls; Mage = 15.56; SD = 1.49). Depression, EMWS, external shame and self-criticism were assessed. The EMWS didn’t show a direct effect on depression, exerting its effect indirectly through external shame and self-criticism. The relationship between EMWS and self-criticism was fully mediated by external shame, and the relationship between external shame and depression was fully mediated by self-criticism. In conclusion, the way the individual sees and relates to the self seems to impact on psychological adjustment and in the development of psychopathology. The fact that external shame and self-criticism fully mediated the relationship between EMWS and depression emphasizes the relevance of preventive and therapeutic approaches that aim to promote a healthier way of relating to the self.
A day-ahead hybrid optimization algorithm for finding the dispatch schedule of VPP in a distribution system

Distributed renewable generations such as photovoltaic units are electricity generators for installing close to the loads on the distribution system. In this paper, the dispatch function of a noncentralized Virtual Power Plant (VPP) with having a photovoltaic unit in each bus is considered to optimize. This dispatch function is assigned based on the predicted load shape of the next day. A new day-ahead hybrid optimization algorithm is presented to optimize the dispatch function. The proposed algorithm implements a new hybrid combination of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Optimization (GA) algorithms simultaneously to benefit both algorithms’ advantages. The objective function is the optimization of the voltage deviation of the VPP. The suggested algorithm is executed on a 13-bus-radial IEEE standard VPP system using MATLAB software coupled with open-source software called OpenDSS. The results show the importance of the proposed algorithm to optimize the voltage deviation of the VPP. The superiority of the proposed algorithm is related to the accuracy and calculation velocity in comparison with the other tested evolutionary algorithms. The Distribution System Operator could map and move towards its full benefits of the increasing integration of DGs with a strategic placement that could keen prosumers on integrating these actions.
Natural convection heat transfer on vertical heated solid tube without fin and solid tube with Conical & Trapezoidal fin through CFD (Acusolve)

The study of natural convection from a heated solid tube having fins of various configurations using CFD tool Acusolve has been carried out in this research paper. The material under consideration is aluminum and the free stream fluid is air. The heat transfer rate from the fins and maximum and minimum temperature has been calculated and compared for various fin configurations. Temperature contours for various fin configuration has been plotted showing the convection loops formed around the heated pipe surface. Hence the results obtained can be referred to while solving any such kind of problems in the practical field where only natural convection is under consideration. After comparing it is shown that the best configuration for this type of convective heat transfer of a heated pipe is a TRAPEZOIDAL fin as they have the highest total heat transfer rate.

Estimation of cotinine level among the tobacco users and nonusers: A cross-sectional study among the Indian population

More than 4000 compounds have been identi ied in tobacco smoke, and at least 50 of these have been found to be carcinogenic [6,7]. Epidemiological studies in smokers indicate a dose-response relationship between the number of cigarettes smoked per day and the risk of developing certain smoking related diseases [8]. The alkaloid nicotine is the major pharmacologically active substance in tobacco [9]. Abstract
