A Medical Probabilistic Advisory System Based on Independent Artificial Intelligent Techniques to Support Decision-Making

: In this paper, an intelligent advisory system is used to make the decision depend on extracting the features of events by using artificial intelligence techniques. The proposed system was applied in the training in medical institutions in the field of physical therapy. X-ray images and their corresponding reports are used as events. For X-ray images, the Co-occurrence matrix is used to extract the features and Evidential K-Nearest Neighboring Rule has used to features classification then stored in the database. Whereas, the hidden Markov model is used to recognize the handwritten reports after their processing. The probability theory is used to solve the feature's overlapping problem that makes it easier to knowledge base formation by experts. The proposed system has been applied to different and several pathological patients of bone fractures and jaw and dental injuries. Comparing the results with the experts has shown the high accuracy that characterizes the proposed system.
Inter Group Perception and Experience Exploration in the Lives of Northeasterners NE in India

Over the years, the importance of historically neglected North East (NE) India has gained momentum. Previous studies in Psychology have focused either on identity of NE people, migration, acculturation or prejudice. Research on perception of NE (Indian) people by non-NE people (Indian) and vice-versa has been scanty. The present study attempts to understand perception of Northeast (NE) students of India by non-NE students (primarily North Indian/ NI students staying in Delhi) using a sentence completion task. Participants consisted of female college students and research scholars; (N=30, mean age = 20.8 years). The study also takes into account the rising cases of racism against NE people in India during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results from the empirical study indicate a general and superficial understanding of NE by non-NE participants. Findings are overall positive, showing that educated and aware student community do not explicitly view NE through the lens of stereotype and prejudice. Yet subtle biases were present. On the contrary, a number of news reports point towards the incidences of prejudice and discrimination against NE people during the COVID-19 pandemic. The secondary data analysis clearly indicates the level of dehumanisation and discrimination that NE people are experiencing. Thus the study calls for more attention of researchers to dive deeper into these opposite trends and bring out the subtle forms of misperceptions to bridge the gulf between NE people and non-NE people. Results indicate that perhaps positive changes are happening only at explicit level, and at implicit level people still harbour negative perceptions and attitudes, which manifests during times of crisis. The findings have been explained with the help of Terror Management Theory.
Digital transformation in supply chains: Current applications, contributions and challenges

Digital transformation in supply chain management enables businesses to achieve competitive advantage by using their resources more efficiently, to make every stage of their supply chain smarter, more transparent and more efficient, to be closer to individual customer needs, to provide a significant increase in decision-making quality, and to become increasingly flexible in the near future. and provides the advantages of having new business models that will be efficient.Unfortunately, today digital transformation is at the stage of digitization rather than digital transformation due to the high initial investment cost and concerns about the success of applications. In this study, successful digital transformation applications implemented in supply chain management to guide companies and supply chains that have not yet entered the digital transformation process, the advantages provided by these applications and the difficulties of the digital transformation process are discussed.In the study, using qualitative data analysis, open-ended interview questions were applied to a total of 28 companies, and the answers were separated on the basis of sectors and applications and new business models were grouped according to sectors. The advantages of the companies and their supply chains with digital transformation and the difficulties faced in the transformation process are discussed jointly to cover all sectors. The study ends with an evaluation and brief summary of the findings.
Learning-based compressed data structures

The deluge of data in applications such as bioinformatics, information retrieval, and databases has made the use of compressed data structures, sometimes called succinct or compact data structures, indispensable [4]. The specialty of these structures is to represent data in compressed form while also supporting eﬃcient access and queries on it. Traditionally, this is achieved by exploiting two particular sources of compressibility: statistical properties and repetitiveness of the data [5]. In this poster, we will discuss a diﬀerent kind of data regularity based on geometric considerations: approximate linearity . Several recent results have shown that this geometric regularity is surprisingly frequent in real datasets, such as time series. We will expand the horizon of compressed data structures by presenting solutions that discover, or “learn”, in a principled algorithmic way, these approximate linearities in the data to solve some fundamental and ubiquitous problems in computer science, such as predecessor search and rank/select primitives [1, 2, 3]. We will provide a walkthrough of these new theoretical achievements, also with a focus on open-source libraries and their experimental improvements in space of orders of magnitude compared to classical solutions (such as B-trees). We conclude by discussing the plethora of research opportunities that these new learning-based approaches to data structure design open up.
An Examination of the Antioxidant Capacity, Antibacterial Activity and Toxicity of Commercial Kale and Spirulina Powders

Pharmacognosy Communications, Vol 11, Issue 1, Jan-Mar, 2021 45 ABSTRACT Introduction: The development of antibiotic resistant bacteria has resulted in treatment failure for the current antibiotic regimen against many bacteria. A corresponding decrease in the development of new antibiotic therapies has highlighted the urgent need for the discovery of new antibiotics. An examination of ‘superfoods’ is an attractive option due to the high antioxidant capacities and beneficial secondary compounds reported in many ‘superfoods’. This study was undertaken to test kale and spirulina extracts for the ability to inhibit the growth of a panel of bacterial pathogens of human importance. Methods: Commercially sourced kale and spirulina powders were extracted and tested for antimicrobial activity using modified disc diffusion and liquid dilution MIC methods. Toxicity was evaluated using an Artemia franciscana nauplii bioassay. Results: The methanolic and aqueous extracts of kale and spirulina displayed noteworthy growth inhibitory activity against P. mirabilis. The aqueous spirulina extract was a particularly good inhibitor of P. mirabilis, with MIC values as low as 220μg/mL. In contrast, all extracts were ineffective or of low inhibitory activity against all other bacteria tested. All extracts were non-toxic in the Artemia nauplii bioassay, confirming their suitability as natural antibacterial therapies. Conclusion: These studies indicate that aqueous kale and spirulina extracts are promising inhibitors of P. mirabilis growth and may be useful in the prevention and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, as well as other diseases caused by that bacterium.
Creative tourism as a strategy for regional development and cultural heritage promotion : sojourning abroad and creativity enhancement

This article investigates the contemporary tendency of cultural sojourning (spending a certain length of time abroad) in culturally rich developing contexts and its positive influences on creativity enhancement. Sojourners are individuals often creatives who move to a foreign context for some time in order to experience the local culture, find a better work-life balance, and increase their productivity. When, at a wider framework, the design discipline supports the tourism industry, this phenomenon could be a key factor in heritage protection/promotion and for the empowerment of indigenous communities. The reference context investigated in this work is South Africa, where promoting the encounter between sojourners and local communities could contribute to making a shift in regional development, cultural enrichment, equality, and social integration link to an inclusive approach that considers all the stakeholders involved. The active involvement of stakeholders through a participatory approach is assumed as the enabler of the processes of cultural enrichment and acculturation through a direct positive “contamination” of ideas and skills. The research led to the definition of a set of guidelines to inform the design of creative-based touristic systems and development projects aiming to spark urban regeneration, safety, and accessibility to networking opportunities and an alternative education model based on the direct and active participation of people coming from different social and cultural backgrounds. Designing an effective proposal could be a positive hint for growing contexts in need of integration and equality, contributing to better conditions and bringing attention on specific issues while providing an answer to the contemporary tendency of sojourning for creativity enhancement.This work has been developed as a literature-based research on sojourning and creativity enhancement and constitutes the basis for a site-specific meta-design proposal shaped for Cape Town; informed by on-site investigations that include visits to local cultural and artistic institutions and associations, the participation to design-centred events, field trips, discussions with locals, and site visits for the collection of audio-visual documentation.

Influence of Culture on Girl Child Education in Central Pokot Sub County, Kenya

Cultural practices such as Female Genital Mutilation, early child marriages and patriarchy have been on the rise in West Pokot despite interventions by government and non-state actors over the years. These outdated cultural practices have hindered the progress of girls academically. It is vital to educate the girl-child in society. However, teenage pregnancy gets girls at the wrong time when they are still in schools and this affects their education very much and eventually ends up ruining their future. This paper looks at how various cultural practices have affected girl child education in West Pokot County, Kenya. The study was conducted in Central Pokot Sub County primary schools targeting 12 headteachers and 120 teachers. The respondents were selected through purposive and simple random sampling. Data was collected using questionnaires and interview schedules. Data collected were analysed using percentages and frequencies. The results of the study showed that the status of girl-child education was low. Cultural factors like; early marriages, female genital mutilation, child labour, widowhood practices and taboos influenced girl-child education. The study found out those cultural factors in the study area affected girl-child education negatively as it slowed down their transition, academic performance and also the acquisition of knowledge required at the basic education level. The study recommends that the government should take legal action against parents who take their girl-children for FGM and early marriages; there is a need for awareness on the importance of girl child education, provision of scholarships for girls at basic and tertiary level and introduction of guidance and counselling sessions in schools.
Assessment of calculated glomerular filtration rate using percutaneous nephrostomy creatinine clearance

Background: Radionuclide scintigraphy is considered the most widely used method for estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in clinical use. The present study was conducted to assess calculated glomerular filtration rate (cGFR) using percutaneous nephrostomy creatinine clearance and comparing it with measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) calculated by radionuclide scintigraphy. Materials & Methods: 40 cases of kidney disease of both genders were included. The mGFR and cGFR estimation was done after complete stabilization of the patient and resolution of the indication for which PCN was inserted and after stabilization of PCN output. The DTPA/EC scan was performed by Gates method. Results: Out of 40 patients, males were 22 and females were 18. mGFR (mean) was 11.4 ml/min, cGFR (mean) was 7.42 ml/min, highest calculated GFR was 8.74 ml/min, mGFR 30 was seen in 5 and mGFR could not calculated in 1 patient. A strong overall correlation was found between the two methods of GFR estimation. Conclusion: GFR calculated by PCN creatinine clearance can be used to estimate kidney function when radionuclide scan is not available. However, further studies are required due to small sample size of our study.
A model of a large company’s CSR and transformational community engagement for SME development

This article presents a framework for a transformational community engagement strategy which has been implemented by Dharma Bhakti Astra Foundation (YDBA). It discusses the process under which a large company institutionalizes its corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy, policy, and actions in developing small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Since 1980 the company has strengthened the capacity of 10,374 SMEs, which had created 65,855 jobs by 2017. The paper shows the linkages between the concepts of CSR, transformational community engagement, social capital, and sustainability performance of a company. This study applies a qualitative case study to investigate why and how one of the largest public listed companies in Indonesia decided to play a role in developing SMEs as its CSR program; how transformational community engagement strategy is used in implementing the CSR program; and how the SME programs contribute to the company’s triple bottom line through social capital development. The study finds that a large company can complement the government’s roles in SME development, by sharing its knowledge and expertise, providing finance and market access, and also building social capital for SMEs. By doing so, the company enables SMEs to participate in economic activities and work collaboratively with the company in achieving sustainability performance for both the SME and the company. The conceptual framework developed from this study contributes to theory by clarifying the linkages between the concepts of CSR program, community engagement, and social capital. In practice, the framework can help business practitioners to design their CSR programs through community engagement. In reality, the ASEAN Business Advisory Council meeting in 2017 had considered YDBA’s SME development program as a role model for other large companies operating in the region.
Design and Analysis of Networks under Strategic Behavior

Networks are enablers, allowing the diffusion of valuable information. But just as a network is a conduit for valuable information, so it is for misinformation. One major challenge in a networked environment is limiting the spread of misinformation. Consider a large online social network, such as Twitter. Unethical users spread anti-social posts, which negatively affect other users and damage community dynamics [6], fraudsters send spam and phishing emails that threaten people’s financial security [7], accounts occupied by malicious parties spread toxic information (e.g., hate speech, fake news), stirring up controversy and manipulating political views among social network users [1], fake reviews posted by bots mislead consumers’ decision making [15], etc. An intuitive idea to limit the spread of misinformation is removing malicious nodes from networks, for example, terminate accounts on Twitter that spread spam. Importantly, a principled method to decide which nodes to remove from a network has wide applications; in the case of infectious disease, the inoculation of a group of people is essentially “removing” them from the contagion network [2, 5, 8, 12, 16–19]. A critical observation is that the loss associated with a decision whether to remove a node depends both on the node’s likelihood of being malicious and its local network structure. Consequently, the typical approach in which we simply classify nodes as malicious or benign using a threshold on the associated maliciousness probability [10] is inadequate, as it fails to account for network consequences of such decisions. Rather, the problem is fundamentally about choosing which subset of nodes to remove, as decisions about removing individual nodes are no longer independent. We developed a model that provides decisions about which nodes to remove [20]. The model considers both the likelihood of nodes being malicious and their local network structures. Several algorithmic insights are derived from studying the model, including hardness results, as well as approximation algorithms. Our ongoing effort focuses on making the model scalable to large-scale
Corona Virus and Salt Intake

Coronavirus is one of the main pathogens that targets the human respiratory system in the first place and since common treatments for coronavirus, including hydroxychloroquine are mostly symptomatic, so the aim of this study was to evaluate the coronavirus and salt intake. Articles in Medline searched using the keywords Respiratory infection and Coronavirus, COVID-19 and salt. The virus is highly contagious, dangerous and poses a great threat to the health and safety of the world, and its spread must prevented immediately. The corona pandemic seems to be able to build a new lifestyle. This can be a starting point for changing the eating behaviors of East Asians and even the people of the world. On the other hand, in addition to the new approach to the role of nutrition in etiology and treatment of diseases in traditional medicine, salt is one of the essential substances for the body that used in the treatment of more than 40 diseases, including treatment of infection and prevents infection in the blood. The findings suggest that increasing the pH plays an important role in the therapeutic performance of drugs used in modern medicine in the treatment of Coronavirus, which salt also creates a similar mechanism. It targets the gastrointestinal tract and muscles and undersexed people at risk. It can conclude that salt that has a temperature of 4 degrees can probably be effective in reducing cold nature of the lungs and other organs.
Cranial hyperthermia resulting from decreased parotid gland salivation induced by ischemic degeneration of glossopharyngeal network in subarachnoid hemorrhage

Objective: We speculated that subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) induces ischemic lesions in the cranial parasympathetic nerves, which may decrease saliva secretion and lead to hyperthermia. We tested this hypothesis by examining histologic features of parotid glands and glossopharyngeal nerves (GPNs) in a rabbit model of SAH. Material and Methods: Rabbits (n = 25) were divided into control (n = 5), sham (n = 5), and SAH (n = 15) groups. Animals in the sham and SAH groups were examined over a 3week period before sacrifice. Salivation score (SC) was determined by measuring the mean wetted area of an orally inserted cotton ball. Sections of parotid glands and intracranial and intraparotideal branches of the GPNs were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and SAH-induced damage was analyzed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling of apoptotic cells. Specimens were stereologically examined to determine saliva-filled total vesicle volume (TVV) per cubic meter; vasospasm index (VSI) based on wall/lumen ratio of parotid glands arteries, and degenerated neuron density (DND) of glossopharyngeal ganglia. Results: The mean oral temperature was 36.9°C. In the control group, mean values were as follows: SC, 46±8 mm2; DND, 19±4/mm3; VSI, 1.065±0.049; and TVV, (780±1187) × 106/μm3. In the sham group, mean values were as follows: SC, 31±6 mm2; DND, 98±23/mm3; VSI, 1.67±0.32; and TVV, (617±110) × 106/μm3. In the low hyperthermia SAH group, mean values were as follows: SC, 16±5 mm2; DND, 1520±261/mm3; VSI, 2.12±0.21, and TVV, (314±98) × 106/μm3. In the high hypothermia SAH group, mean values were as follows: SC, 9±2 mm2; DND, 3210±912/mm3; VSI, 3.18±0.30; and TVV, (432±99) × 106/μm3. Conclusions: Decreased salivary secretion due to secretory gland atrophy originated from ischemia-induced GPN network degeneration at the brainstem, which may be responsible for cranial hyperthermia following SAH.
