Evaluating the multi-dose intramuscular administration of methotrexate in the early stage of interstitial ectopic pregnancy
Authors: Le Thi Anh Dao
Published: April 2022

Background: Interstitial ectopic pregnancy (IEP) happens when implantation occurs in a special location, the interstitial part, of the fallopian tubes. This condition accounts for 3% of all ectopic pregnancies. When the amniotic sac just develops in the interstitial area of the uterine tube without altering the anatomy of the uterine horn, locating the gestational mass by surgery is difficult. This study aims to assess the efficacy of multi-dose intramuscular injection of MTX in the treatment of IEP in the early stages.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynaecology Hospital from January 2018 to July 2019. The patients were selected under the sampling criteria and treated using intramuscular MTX injection with the dose of 1mg/kg/24 hours on day one. The dose in the following day depended on βhCG concentration. If βhCG concentration increases or decreases by less than 15%, the above treatment will be continued on the next day. The total number of MTX injections is 4 shots.

Results: 26 eligible patients; successful treatment rate is 84.62%. βhCG significantly decreased after the third injection.

Conclusion: Multi-dose intramuscular MTX injection treatment is an effective and safe treatment option for interstitial ectopic pregnancies in early stages.

Published: April 2022

We present a case of a 55-year-old woman presenting with worsening shortness of breath and constipation over the course of three days. Initial computed tomography scan showed a large, complex abdominal mass with a vascular pedicle and possible pedunculated origin along the inferior aspect of the greater curvature of the stomach. The mass was further evaluated on magnetic resonance imaging showing an active hemorrhage. The patient became hemodynamically unstable and general surgery was consulted for evaluation. Mass resection was performed, and biopsy revealed KIT/CD117+ and DOG1/ANO1+ gastrointestinal stromal tumor staged as T4. Although definitive diagnosis of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor requires biopsy, prompt clinical and radiological recognition is critical for patients to receive definitive treatment of mass resection.

Published: April 2022

The pisiform is a sesamoid bone that acts as one of the key medial stabilizers of the wrist. We present a case of a 35-year-old gentleman who presented with medial wrist pain following a fall while rollerblading. Radiographs and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a rare combination of an acute pisiform dislocation with associated triquetral fracture. Subsequently, he was successfully treated with excision of the pisiform. Pisiform dislocation is an uncommon injury and can easily be missed in an acute emergency presentation. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the characteristic imaging appearance to avoid a delay in diagnosis and treatment.

Novel measurement technologies, additional sensors and increasing data processing capacities offer new opportunities to answer some of the currently most pressing societal and environmental questions. They also contribute to the fact that the available data volume will continue to increase. At the same time, the requirements for those providing such data rise and the needs of users to access it. The EPOS Delivery Framework aims to support this endeavour in the solid Earth domain by providing access to data, products, and services supporting multidisciplinary analyses for a wide range of users. Based on this example, we look at the most pressing issues from when data, products, and services are made accessible, to access principles, ethical issues related to its collection and use as well as with respect to their promotion. Among many peculiarities, we shed light on a common component that affects all fields equally: change. Not only will the amount and type of data, products, and services change, but so will the societal expectations and providers capabilities.

In this article we describe EPOS Seismology, the Thematic Core Service consortium for the seismology domain within the European Plate Observing System infrastructure. EPOS Seismology was developed alongside the build-up of EPOS during the last decade, in close collaboration between the existing pan-European seismological initiatives ORFEUS (Observatories and Research Facilities for European Seismology), EMSC (Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Center) and EFEHR (European Facilities for Earthquake Hazard and Risk) and their respective communities. It provides on one hand a governance framework that allows a well-coordinated interaction of the seismological community services with EPOS and its bodies, and on the other hand it strengthens the coordination among the already existing seismological initiatives with regard to data, products and service provisioning and further development. Within the EPOS Delivery Framework, ORFEUS, EMSC and EFEHR provide a wide range of services that allow open access to a vast amount of seismological data and products, following and implementing the FAIR principles and supporting open science. Services include access to raw seismic waveforms of thousands of stations together with relevant station and data quality information, parametric earthquake information of recent and historical earthquakes together with advanced event-specific products like moment tensors or source models and further ancillary services, and comprehensive seismic hazard and risk information, covering latest European scale models and their underlying data. The services continue to be available on the well-established domain-specific platforms and websites, and are also consecutively integrated with the interoperable central EPOS data infrastructure. EPOS Seismology and its participating organizations provide a consistent framework for the future development of these services and their operation as EPOS services, closely coordinated also with other international seismological initiatives, and is well set to represent the European seismological research infrastructures and their stakeholders within EPOS.

Lemnos Voivode Abdülkerim Ağa (1784-1796)
Authors: BAYKARA TAŞKAYA Arzu
Published: April 2022

With its proximity to Istanbul, Lemnos Island had come to the forefront as one of the important provincial headquarters of the Ottoman Empire's shipbuilding activities, which started in the 18th century, albeit on a small scale. Many rulers on the island are known to have built ships for the Ottoman Navy. One of the most influential administrators who built ships in the region was Voivoda Abdülkerim Ağa, who was one of the inhabitants of the island and was appointed to an administrative position in the Ottoman State. Abdülkerim Ağa, who was personally responsible for the shipbuilding of the Ottoman State in different periods, successfully completed his missions. Pasha was exiled to Rhodes Island with his brother Yusuf due to the cruelties he committed to the people during his tenure, and after the subsequent trial the decapitated heads of the two brothers were sent to Istanbul. Abdülkerim Ağa's heritage was confiscated by the state, and his estate was returned to his family only after his debts were paid to the state. Many of the documents in the archive about Ağa are about the bad administration led by him. In the meantime, it was been documented that the immovables of the Voivode were seized by the people after their execution following the exile. In this article, which was written by making use of Ottoman archive documents, the rise of the agha’s, who already had political influence in the region, to the state in a short time with his shipbuilding activities, and his murder in a short time were discussed.

Authors:   Computer Science, Bina Nusantara University, Jakarta, 11480, Indonesia, Lukito Cahya , Lukito Rony Baskoro
Published: April 2022

Abstract— Hydroponics is a farming technology using water media that has been mixed with mineral nutrients that are continuously flowed to plant roots for 24 hours every day. The height of water reserves, water temperature, water nutrient content and water pH are some of the factors that need to be considered in growing crops using the hydroponic method. The function of automatic control of water quality and light requirements is very important to maintain the growth of hydroponic plants. The function of automatic control of water quality can be accomplished by developing software from a hardware system equipped with a dosingpump module for adding mineral nutrients and/or adjusting pH to water. Periodically the system will maintain water quality based on the calculation of input data obtained from water quality sensors, as well as report the quality of water from hydroponic plants directly through a computer network based on TCP/IP. In this study, a complete minimum system model with a hydroponic farming system and LED grow-light will be developed which is the result of improvements from previous research. The water pH and water conductivity (EC) sensors can be activated simultaneously. The dosing-pump module is used to add a liquid that regulates the pH value of water and plant nutrient fluids automatically according to the specified target, and the LED grow-light will automatically turn on and off to help maximize hydroponic plant growth. An Embedded WEB application is also available to increase the ease of monitoring. Keywords—Remote control and monitoring, Automatic Control, Hydroponic water quality

This research focuses on the design and implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT) smart-based system for the agriculture industry, especially chilli plantations. Every year, chilli farmers experience huge losses due to pest infestation and a lack of technology to precisely manage their farms. To solve several problems, the IoT system was designed to continuously monitor pest detection status, temperature, humidity index, and soil moisture level simultaneously. Besides these, the IoT system is also designed for long-distance remote water, pesticide, and fertiliser pumps. An IoT platform was applied in this project to provide a monitoring dashboard and switches to empower several pumps with long-distance remotes using the LoRa communication systems in a wide coverage range of chilli farms. Three experiments were designed to determine the range of the LoRa network. All experiments and data collection were done on the campus of Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) and the Melaka area. All experiments were analysed based on the results collected, such as packet reception rate (PRR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and received signal strength indicator (RSSI). Based on the experiment results and conclusion, the LoRa communication system is suitable for applying to chilli farms in order to monitor all the elements such as soil moisture and pest detection status. The experiment also concludes that this LoRa network can be worked effectively up to cover a range of 260m with the elevation of the gateway.

Authors:   MVN University, Palwal, Haryana, India, Gupta Sachin
Published: April 2022

The toxicity of speech being spewed via cyber media is a critical issue of concern in the cyberverse these days. This problem is associated with using offensive, violent or abusive phrases countering any person, any group or some minority community. Amongst the latest advanced and highlevel language models for natural language processing (NLP) is the generative pre-trained transformer model from OpenAI, code named GPT-3 which could both produce and predict hatred-based text that bullies the specific community or group. With this capability, the concern is anyhow the large language models could be used for analysis and identification of hated speech and also the classification as positive or negative. GPT-3 classifies text as hate or non-hate speech with different learning models including zero to a few shot versions. Amongst these, the zero- and one-shot based learning models achieve an accuracy between 45 to 72 percent, while using few shots learning models, accuracy could be achieved up to 80 percent. The results of this study indicate that in hate and toxic speech detection, large language models play a vital role that also need development so as to counter the toxic content resulting in hatred and can help with safe cyberspace.

Authors: ÖZTÜRK Burak , KAYMAK Şahin , KÜÇÜK Özkan
Published: April 2022

Internal gear pumps are used in a variety of applications for the transfer of many different types of liquids like fuel, oil and food in both the industry and daily life. Power transfer is provided in the applications of those pumps in the transfer sets, especially through the induction motor and the coupling connection. The R & D studies for the efficiency of pumps carried out worldwide account for 6% of the total, and thus energy savings of 303 trillion BTU can be achieved annually. With minimum energy consumption, high rates of energy savings will be ensured by transferring maximum amount of fuel. For this purpose, firstly a detailed literature review was made, and then industrial pump manufacturers and scientific studies were investigated. As a result of that, a new type of internal gear pair design ,which has not been manufactured so far in the industry, has been proposed. In the new pump, the effects of tooth length and the changes in the number of revolutions on flow, power and SEC results were studied. Thus, it will be possible to compare energy expenditure and flow rate with the other pumps developed. By using Response Surface Method (RSM), Taguchi Method and Anova Variance Analysis, optimum speed and tooth length were determined as 700 RPM for speed and 85 mm for tooth length by taking SEC S/N graph into account. In this way, pump production with optimum flow rate and energy consumption amount in the industry was produced, and the energy consumption value was decreased during the fuel transfer from 156,1 Wh/m3 to 92,0 Wh/m3.In addition, the change in the flow rate was found to be the most effective parameter in the 83% rate change. As for the calculation of the Ptotal results, it was determined that a 50% shaft speed and a 45% inner gear were effective.

Published: April 2022

From the middle of the 19th century, speleological topography became a discipline, if not an art, which supported the work of both explorers and scientists. Underground explorations in Morocco remain an area to be discovered and developed. The Moroccan 99,890 km² limestone surface, represents 14% of the total surface which potentially contains a large number of caves, only 3 of them are developed. This under-exploitation is explained by the lack of evaluation of the richness of Morocco’s karst and cave heritage, the topographic maps of Moroccan Caves are poorly carried out or absent, the last inventory of Moroccan Caves dates from 1981.The objective of this study is to represent the AZIZA Cave virtually, appreciate its volume, and optimize the topography of the latter based on 3D technologies. Two methods were used, the topography of the cave by a DISTO-X, and the results of the 3D projection of the cave were carried out on the software VISUAL TOPO. Secondly, we carried out 3D modeling by lasergrammetry using a TLS FARO FOCUS 70, to scan the main entrance, the main axes, and the large rooms of the AZIZA Cave, the final rendering was provided by the scene software. Laser grammetry gave us the possibility of having a virtual representation of the cave and also of important details that conventional methods cannot give because of this heritage dimension, conservation conditions are essential, also given the potential to be appreciated that the cave and its environment offer, which can constitute a typical example of the exploitation of karst heritage and its environment.

The Jeribe and Azkand formations, which were deposited during Late Oligocene-Early Miocene are a major reservoir interval in the Khabaz oilfield where it is, for the most part, a carbonate reservoir. The study area is located in the north of Iraq within the Foothill Zone. Through the thin-section examination for Azkand/Anah carbonates in the Khabaz oil field (Kz-3, Kz-4, Kz-10, and Kz-43), the petrographic and microfacies have been studied, which show six major carbonate microfacies, each of them is representing a distinctive deposition environment, and these are: restricted and semi-restricted for the Jeribe Formation, and semi-restricted, back reef, reef, fore reef, shallow open marine and slope for Azkand and Anah formations. There are several types of diagenetic processes; some of these processes enhance the porosity and the other reduces it. Porosity reduction by: Cementation (Isopachous, meniscus, syntaxial calcite, Drusy calcite, botryoidal, blocky calcite), Recrystallization; Compaction and late stage of dolomitization. This appeared near the upper and lower contact of the Jeribe Formation and in the lower part of the Azkand Formation. While the porosity enhancement which represented by depositional process (primary porosity) and dissolution (secondary porosity), in addition to the early and middle stage of dolomitization. This appeared in the middle part of the Jeribe Formation and the upper part of Azkand.

A new highway is under construction since few years to join the capital; Erbil city with many main towns connecting; in the plan to the northern boarders of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. It is a double lane road constructed according to modern standards. It crosses many mountains, and two tunnels are already completed, one is almost completed and another one is abandoned: hitherto. The completed part of the highway reaches the Hareer town with some parts being under construction before and after the Shaqlawa town. Because parts of the Highway are not completed yet; therefore, those parts suffer from slope stability problems; mainly due to the drainage problems. Other completed parts; however, suffer also from slope stability problems; mainly due to steep slope road cuts and/ or irrelevant treatments for the road cuts. Among those unstable slopes, we have chosen six stations, which experienced the most severe failures. At those six stations, we have applied field method to estimate the possibility of failure following Bejerman’s method. We have found that the failure possibility is high in the station Nos. 1- 4, and is Low in the station Nos. 5 and 6.
3308 Sayılı Mesleki Eğitim Kanunu’nda Yapılan Değişiklik Sonrası Mesleki Eğitim Merkezi Programlarının 2022 Yılı İlk Üç Aylık Performans Değerlendirmesi

Çıraklık eğitimi, son yıllarda Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı tarafından mesleki eğitimi güçlendirmek için başlatılan paradigma değişimi içinde önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Bu kapsamda, çıraklık eğitiminin gerçekleştirildiği mesleki eğitim merkezi (MEM) programları birçok açıdan iyileştirilmiştir. MEM programlarına yönelik toplumsal farkındalığın artırılması, Türkiye’deki tüm organize sanayi bölgeleri ile MEM programlarının ilişkilendirilmesi, program mezunlarının akademik dersleri yüz yüze alarak lise diplomasına ulaşımının kolaylaştırılması, 3308 sayısı Mesleki Eğitim Kanunu’nda yapılan düzenleme ile öğrencilerin üretim aracılığıyla pratik becerilerinin geliştirilmesi ve yapılan üretim aracılığıyla kazançlarının artırılması bu iyileştirmeler arasında yer almaktadır. Bu iyileştirmelerin yanında MEM tamamlama programları aracılığıyla mezunların kısa sürede işgücü piyasasının talepleri doğrultusunda yetiştirilmesi ve istihdam edilmesi sağlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada 3308 sayılı Mesleki Eğitim Kanunu’nda yapılan düzenleme sorasındaki ilk üç ayda MEM programlarının performansı öğrenci katılım verileri aracılığıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma bulguları, yapılan iyileştirmeler sonrasında MEM programlarına yönelik talebin büyük bir artış gösterdiğine işaret etmektedir. Düzenleme öncesinde öğrenci sayısı 159 bin düzeyindeyken üç aylık bir sürenin sonunda 320 binin üzerine çıkmıştır. Bulgular, MEM programlarında kadın öğrenci oranının %17’den %24’e çıkarak daha dengeli bir hale geldiğini, 19 yaş ve üzerindeki mezunların katılımının 18 yaş ve altındaki öğrencilere oldukça yakın olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca göçmenlerin eğitimi için önemli fırsatlar sağlayan MEM programlarında yabancı uyruklu öğrenci sayısı da yaklaşık 2.800’den 13 bine yükselmiştir. Sonuçlar, yapılan iyileştirmeler sonucunda MEM programlarına yönelik talebin artarak 1 milyon hedefine yaklaştığını ve programların kapsayıcılığının önemli ölçüde arttığını göstermektedir.

n this paper we present a general criteria to decide when the cycle on vertices and , the coalescence of the star with the cycle , are extremal unicyclic graphs of a vertex-degree-based (VDB) topological index. We show that many of the well known results on extremal values of VDB topological indices over unicyclic graphs can be obtained as particular cases of ours. Moreover, we obtain new results on extremal values of VDB topological indices, such as the generalized Geometric-Arithmetic indices, the generalized Atom-Bond-Connectivity indices, and its exponentials, among others.

Modern times and the development of technology are imposing on society new rules of behavior and communication in order to ensure a more comfortable life. Today, it is almost inconceivable that there is an individual who is not surrounded by numerous and varied information, that is, the media, as intermediaries between those who send the information and those who receive it. The emergence of these means of communication has brought with it many advantages, but their misuse and uncontrolled use can undermine basic, timeless values and cause danger for both man and the whole country. In this paper, I will focus on the analysis of hate speech in the media, as a not so rare occurrence, which should be given more attention, in terms of surveillance and suppression, due to the importance it has and the consequences it could cause both nationally and globally. Hate speech is expressly forbidden by the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia, while in the field of media it is more specifically regulated by legal regulations.

In some cases, a fine is not a criminal sanction that the most severely affect the convicted legal entity. Sometimes for legal entities are more strictly legal consequences of condemnation. They last for a certain amount of time and act by force of law. The court has no opportunity to individualize them, as it can individualize a criminal sanction. Every convicted legal person is recorded in the criminal record. Data from the records can only be given to a legally determined circle of persons. The focus of the author's attention are precisely the legal consequences of the conviction which convicted legal entities can suffer and keeping criminal records.

The origin of the goods shall be determined on exportation of the goods in order to exercise the right of exemption from customs duties on the goods in the country to which they are imported, provided that the country is a member of customs unions or those countries have a duty-free trade agreement. The aim of the paper is to explain in a concise and simple way the basic concepts in the field of rules of origin of goods, as well as the legal basis and criteria for acquiring the origin of goods. Preferential origin is granted to goods from certain countries when they comply with the rules of origin provided for in the relevant preferential arrangement. In this case, the goods could benefit from reduced duty or even duty free. It should be noted that not all products have a preferential origin. Non-preferential origin is obtained when the goods are "fully obtained" in one country or, when two or more countries are involved in the production of the product, the origin is obtained when the goods have undergone their last significant, economically viable processing or operation, in an enterprise equipped with this purpose, which leads to the production of a new product or represents an important stage of production. Each product necessarily has a non- preferential origin, which may be different from its preferential origin.
ROMAN AND MODERN CONCEPT OF SLAVERY
Authors:   University of Rome ", Santos de Brito Rose Dayanne ,   Tor Vergata",   , Italy
Published: April 2022

Roman law was accused of legitimizing slavery in ancient times and individualism in modernity. This article seeks to refute these anti-historical formulations. For this, it adopts the ontological difference between Celso’s Roman conception (law as the art of the good and the just) and Kelsen’s modern one (law as a set of norms). The distinctions between the legal regime of slavery in ancient society and modernity will be analyzed from an exercise of the history of law, based on the synchronic and diachronic method. Finally, Roman law appears as an instrument of criticism in order to confront legal institutes of private bourgeois law.
