Improved Classification of Histopathological images using the feature fusion of Thepade sorted block truncation code and Niblack thresholding
Authors: Thepade Sudeep D , Bhushari Abhijeet
Published: September 2023

Histopathology is the study of disease-affected tissues, and it is particularly helpful in diagnosis and figuring out how severe and rapidly a disease is spreading. It also demonstrates how to recognize a variety of human tissues and analyze the alterations brought on by sickness. Only through histopathological pictures can a specific collection of disease characteristics, such as lymphocytic infiltration of malignancy, be determined. The "gold standard" for diagnosing practically all cancer forms is a histopathological picture. Diagnosis and prognosis of cancer at an early stage are essential for treatment, which has become a requirement in cancer research. The importance and advantages of classification of cancer patients into more-risk or less-risk divisions have motivated many researchers to study and improve the application of machine learning (ML) methods. It would be interesting to explore the performance of multiple ML algorithms in classifying these histopathological images. Something crucial in this field of ML for differentiating images is feature extraction. Features are the distinctive identifiers of an image that provide a brief about it. Features are drawn out for discrimination between the images using a variety of handcrafted algorithms. This paper presents a fusion of features extracted with Thepade sorted block truncation code (TSBTC) and Niblack thresholding algorithm for the classification of histopathological images. The experimental validation is done using 960 images present in the Kimiapath-960 dataset of histopathological images with the help of performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. Better performance is observed by an ensemble of TSBTC N-ary and Niblack's thresholding features as 97.92% of accuracy in 10-fold cross-validation.

Authors: Silva Laura da , Santos Kamilla de Faria , Costa Caroline Chistini Pincela da , Santos Rodrigo da Silva , Reis Angela Adamski da Silva
Published: September 2023

A nefropatia diabética (ND) é considerada a principal causa de insuficiência renal terminal que acomete 40% dos portadores de Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Trata-se de uma complicação microvascular crônica, que atinge gradualmente os rins, modificando sua morfologia e, consequentemente, seu funcionamento. Sua etiologia ainda não foi completamente elucidada. Estudos epidemiológicos indicam que há fortes influências genéticas, uma vez que nem todos os pacientes com DM desenvolverão a ND. Dentre os genes associados a essa patologia, encontra-se o MMP9, responsável pela regulação da homeostase das paredes renais. Alterações nesse gene podem desencadear reações inflamatórias e alterações estruturais.
A review of the current state of knowledge on Pseudoxytenanthera ritchiei- a lesser known bamboo species with high utilization potential from Peninsular India

Published: September 2023

Pseudoxytenanthera ritchiei (Munro) H. B. Naithani is a unique bamboo species with fully solid culms. This bamboo species is endemic to the Peninsular India and has a scattered distribution in the forest ecosystems of Kerala. In Kerala, the species was abundantly found in Nilambur and Mannarkad forests and had high demand in the market. However, unsustainable harvesting over a significant period resulted in resource depletion from these forests (Kumar et al., 2009). Though P. ritchiei shares many characteristics which make Pseudoxytenanthera stocksii a commercially important bamboo species, the former is not listed as a priority species by the National Bamboo Mission while the latter is included in the list. Moreover, the potential of P. ritchiei remains untapped in Kerala, primarily due to a lack of information on its distribution and availability, and secondly due to a lack of supply of sufficient quantity for commercial use. These are clumping bamboo and do not require much space, making them suitable for home gardens and as a border crop in fields. Hence, we argue that there is a good justification for this species to be given preference and large-scale cultivation to be encouraged outside forest areas after having developed appropriate methods for quality stock production. Steps must also be taken to ensure the conservation of the species in its natural habitat to prevent the loss of the wild and diverse genotypes which at present lack sufficient documentation. This review features information gleaned from available literature on this less-studied species, and its potential for utilization. The currently available information relating to distribution, propagation, floral morphology, flowering history, eco-system services etc. is also highlighted.

Published: September 2023

The study was undertaken to understand litterfall, litter decomposition and nutrient release pattern of popularly grown bamboo species, Dendrocalamus stocksii, in the moist semi-arid agro-climatic zone of Karnataka, India. The litter production and decomposition were studied using the standard litter trap and bag techniques. The total annual litter production in 2017 was 6.03 Mg ha-1 year-1 for Gottipura and 5.81 t ha-1 year-1 for Nallal. Litter production was continuous, but the quantity of litter produced varied with season and month. Nutrient concentrations in monthly litter samples varied. Peak litter fall was concentrated during the hot-dry period (February-May) as 62.8 per cent at Gottipura and 52.2 per cent at Nallal site. The collected litter from the litter traps was dominated by leaf litter. Litter production followed a similar pattern for both locations, with a major peak in March 2017, it was found that both types of litter and filter paper had an initial rapid phase of decomposition followed by a slower phase. The increase in percentage nutrient content in litter samples found in litter bags collected month-wise have been attributed to the high temperature and increased rates of mineralization assisted by soil microbes over the low immobilization rate.

Bamboos are treated to boost their shelf life from the degrading activity of fungal microbes and other insects and to increase their longevity in use and durability by using various chemicals. The present study is vis-a-vis the standardization of two bamboo species Dendrocalamus strictus and Thyrostachys siamensis for a comparative analysis of the mechanical and anatomical properties of samples treated with CCB (Copper Chrome Boron), and BBA (Borax Boric Acid) as well as untreated samples.Samples were tested for both bending and compression; and the parameters such as MOE (Modulus of Elasticity), MOI (Moment of Inertia), Maximum compressive strength, and ultimate strength were analyzed. The anatomical variations arising in the top and bottom sections were also investigated and it has found that the mechanical properties of the species treated with CCB solutions yield a better result in maximum compressive strength and high value of MOI as compared to BBA whereas the samples treated with BBA provides superior performance with respect to MOE. Anatomical examination revealed that the cellular structure and arrangement of vascular bundles are responsible for the increase in time taken for the rate of penetration of chemicals in D.strictus i.e one-half hour as compared to T.siamensis which got treated in 20 minutes. In D.strictus the density of vascular bundles is high so it takes time to get it treated completely as compared to T. siamensis.

Authors: Leonel Ronaldo dos Santos , De Albuquerque Jacirene Vasconcelos , Castro Andréia de Oliveira
Published: September 2023

Os avanços tecnológicos na primeira década do século XXI criaram uma dinâmica social marcada por avanços tecnológicos que transformaram o comportamento cotidiano e o modo de ser das pessoas em contextos locais e globais. Os avanços tecnológicos exigiram que informações, estratégias, recursos e conhecimentos estivessem nas mãos das pessoas, incluindo o processo de utilização das tecnologias digitais na educação do campo. Especificamente, este contexto influenciou a reflexão para o uso de tecnologias na educação do campo no município de Altamira no Pará/Brasil. Assim, nesta pesquisa foi feito um levantamento bibliográfico sobre as tecnologias e seu uso na educação do campo, bem como um levantamento de dados da Secretaria de Educação sobre a estrutura e funcionamento do ensino nas escolas do meio rural. A análise de conteúdo para tratamento dos dados revelou a precariedade da educação do campo em termos de edificações e infraestrutura tecnológica, bem como a ausência de formação inicial e continuada de professores com Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação. A experiência da Educação do Campo em Altamira-PA demonstra o distanciamento das exigências legais brasileiras e dos estímulos científicos sobre o uso de tecnologias no ensino. Além disso, enfatizou o crescente interesse de entidades governamentais em apoiar políticas públicas educacionais de inclusão digital na educação do campo.
Some aggregation operators of parameterized single-valued neutrosophic numbers and their MADM approach in simplified neutrosophic indeterminate scenarios
Authors: Zhang Sumin , Zhao Meiling , Ye Jun
Published: September 2023

Simplified neutrosophic indeterminate sets/numbers (SNISs/SNINs) can conveniently express the partially determinate and partially indeterminate information of truth, falsity, indeterminacy membership degrees, which shows its main merit. Then, the existing aggregation algorithms of SNINs lack a parameterized aggregation method to reach a flexible decision-making method subject to different decision risks. Therefore, this study proposed a MADM approach using some aggregation operators of parameterized single-valued neutrosophic numbers in a simplified neutrosophic indeterminate scenario. First, we presented a conversion technique from SNINs to parameterized single-valued neutrosophic numbers (PSVNNs) by an indeterminate parameter. Second, we proposed the score function of PSVNN and the parameterized single-valued neutrosophic weighted arithmetic averaging (PSVNWAA) and parameterized single-valued neutrosophic weighted geometric averaging (PSVNWGA) operators. Third, a multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) approach with the smaller, moderate and larger decision risks is developed by the PSVNWAA or PSVNWGA operator in a SNIS setting. Forth, the developed MADM approach is applied to the choice problem of clinical physicians as a numerical example. Generally, the developed MADM approach reveals the advantage of flexible decision making subject to the smaller, moderate, and larger decision risks of decision makers in a neutrosophic indeterminate scenario. However, this study reveals the main contributions in the aggregation algorithms of PSVNNs and flexible MADM approach in a SNIS setting.
Oxygen Level System Development in WSN and IoT-Based Factory
Authors: Muhendra Rifki , Amin Aisyah
Published: September 2023

The health of workers is essential to factory productivity. The lack of oxygen experienced by factory workers for a prolonged duration can disrupt the brain system. One solution to this problem is to build manufacturing facilities with well-maintained airflow, especially oxygen. The system can flow air from outside the factory into the factory based on the measurement of the oxygen level. In this research, an airflow system using the internet of things (IoT) and wireless sensor network (WSN) technology was developed to ensure no oxygen shortage in the factory space. The system comprises three main parts: an oxygen level sensor, a fan controller circuit, and a cloud-based communication system. The oxygen level sensor can measure the volume of oxygen in the factory room and is also connected to the fan controller to control the airflow to the radio-frequency (RF) communication factory room. Oxygen level monitoring data are also sent to the cloud server so that the condition of the factory space can be monitored remotely using internet computers and mobile devices. Performance tests that have been carried out show that the system can increase the oxygen level by 82% from its pre-installed condition. The system built is easy-to-install, low-power, and reliable, with a data loss value of only 1.67%. WSN implementation at the factory does not require a lot of wiring, thus making the system cheaper.

A maioria das cidades não possui um pronto atendimento especializado em dor torácica, e também não tem um protocolo clinico para o diagnóstico de pacientes portadores de Síndrome Coronariana Aguda (SCA). Neste trabalho, aplicou-se um questionário e identificou-se as principais dificuldades para o atendimento do paciente com dor torácica, sendo sugerida a implantação de um protocolo clínico para atendimento deste paciente. A análise das respostas deste questionário mostrou a necessidade da atualização de conhecimentos da nova diretriz da Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia e da realização e interpretação do eletrocardiograma (ECG), sendo também constatada demora no tempo para atendimento do paciente e para liberação do resultado da quantificação de troponina. O fato de não haver monitoramento do paciente, nem de um profissional especialista para a discussão do resultado do ECG são outras dificuldades relatadas pela equipe do setor de emergência. Um fluxo de trabalho e uma proposta de implantação do protocolo clínico foram apresentados com o intuito de dar maior rapidez e eficiência no atendimento do paciente com dor torácica. O conteúdo descrito no fluxo de trabalho e no protocolo clínico foram validados, utilizando o Índice de Validade de Conteúdo (IVC), obtendo o escore médio de 0,992,refletindo o alto grau de concordância entre os peritos, e abrindo perspectiva para a implantação do fluxo de trabalho e do protocolo clínico junto ao setor de emergência de uma UPA do munícipio de Maringá-PR.

CASE PRESENTATION: Patient, M.R., male, 51 years old, attended the general surgery outpatient clinic of UNESC complaining of bulging in the right inguinal region and pain on exertion with results of imaging studies suggesting the presence of cholelithiasis. Previous pathological history of laparotomy cholecystectomy 12 years ago, due to diagnosis of acute lithiasic cholecystitis. In view of the case, ultrasonography of the total abdomen was requested, which showed echogenic images with posterior acoustic leftover in the gallbladder topography. In view of the above, computed tomography of the upper abdomen was performed, which found the presence of an image compatible with a hypoplastic neogallbladder, with a thickened wall, containing a 1.5 cm calculus. From the results acquired through imaging exams, it was decided to investigate through cholangioresonance that identified filling failure measuring 1.2 cm in topography of the gallbladder next to the hepatic hilum, maintaining contact and bulging the first duodenal portion measuring 2.2 x 1.8 cm, suggesting a lithiasic biliary neovesicle. From the confirmation of the diagnosis, laparotomy cholecystectomy was indicated. Intraoperatively, an image compatible with a gallbladder of about 3 cm with thin walls and calculus inside was observed. The cystic duct, dissection of the Calot triangle without evidence of cystic artery and ligation of the remaining cystic duct were identified and repaired. The patient evolved with the usual postoperative period and after perishing all criteria was discharged. DISCUSSION: Videolaparoscopy is currently the gold standard treatment for symptomatic cases of cholelithiasis. However, some patients report the persistence or recurrence of some gastrointestinal symptoms associated with abdominal pain, which may begin 2 to 25 years after surgical intervention. These cases are described as Postcholecystectomy Syndrome (PCS). As suggested to the patient in question, once a residual calculus or neovesicle is diagnosed, surgical intervention should be performed to resolve the symptoms and avoid possible complications. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Patients undergoing cholecystectomy with persistence or recurrence of gastrointestinal symptoms should undergo imaging tests to rule out or confirm the diagnosis of neovesicle.

Introduction: Breast cancer is a neoplasm that affects millions of women worldwide and has become a major public health problem. Studies show an increase in the incidence of breast cancer mortality, which can be diagnosed early through breast self-examination (BSE), thus reducing the prevalence of mortality. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of female teachers and general service assistants from the morning and afternoon shifts at the Izaura de Almeida Silva school in the municipality of Boa Esperança - ES, about breast self-examination. Methodology: This is a descriptive, exploratory and quantitative study which analyzed the practice of breast self-examination in 16 teachers and 8 general service assistants. Results: Regarding the level of knowledge about breast self-examination, 87.50% of the general service assistants knew about breast self-examination and 12.50% did not, 93.75% of the teachers knew about MSA and 6.25% said they did not know. As for the frequency with which they perform breast self-examination, 37.50% of the general service assistants answered annually, 12.50% answered every six months and 50% answered that they do not perform breast self-examination. 12.50% of the female teachers said that they do it monthly; 31.25% annually; 18.75% every six months and 37.50% said that they don't do it. Conclusion: The results obtained in this study emphasize the importance of educational campaigns that provide more comprehensive information, educating and encouraging women to perform breast self-examination.

Introduction: Within the scope of the physiotherapist's work in the health unit, there is also a need to assess the perception of the care provided by this professional, since assessing the quality of the service provided, the relationship between patient and professional and the physical structure for providing this service is indispensable for the good functioning of the unit. Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the perception of patients who are seen in the physiotherapy sector at the health unit in the municipality of Mucurici-ES. Methodology: This is a descriptive exploratory quantitative survey carried out with 24 patients, of both sexes, seen in the Physiotherapy sector in the town of Mucurici-ES. Results: In general, although 100% of all evaluations had positive responses regarding the perception of the physiotherapist's care at the Mucurici health unit, it is worth noting, that it is also necessary to pay attention to the reason that there are studies that prove a tendency, on the part of patients from less favored social classes and lower education levels, to positively evaluate the services that are offered. Conclusion: In general, the perception of the patients treated at this health unit achieved good results, showing that the service is relevant and necessary, as well as being provided with quality, efficiency and an adequate structure for patients, according to their perception.

Esse artigo aborda como temática, aplicação da matemática na atividade policial:  os estudos matemáticos inseridos na área de segurança pública. A abordagem consiste em utilizar os ferramentais computacionais, como o aplicativo Google Maps (GPS) e utilização de ARP, visando aplicação à área de segurança pública. Esses recursos tecnológicos contribuem significativa no combate ao comercio ilícito, como plantio de cannabis sativa e outros tráficos que necessitam da tecnologia para sua identificação em áreas de dificl acesso. Para melhor descrever a aplicação, são usados três problemas que evidenciam a importância e utilidade indispensáveis de ARP e Google Maps no combate ao crime. O terceiro problema tratará do uso da geometria plana e analítica no cálculo de área de plantio de cannabis e de distâncias de coordenadas no sentido de avaliar os modos operandi do tráfico, usando, embora de forma empírica, os   conhecimentos matemáticos no sentido de maximizar o plantio da erva, o que corresponde a um o lucro máximo quando a droga é beneficiada. A ocupação de grandes áreas de plantio dificilmente acontece, pois poderiam ser identificadas por drone que visualiza regiões de plantio.  Conclui-se a pesquisa considerando que a tecnologia moderna, Google Maps, a ARP, assim como a matemática na contribuição de coordenadas em áreas de dificl acesso, tem sidos de grande utilidade na produção do conhecimento, tendo em vista que essas medidas são essenciais para o combate do comércio ilícito.

In the conception of De Pontes (2017) the period of the Middle Ages was marked by the non-existent concept of childhood, so age did not have a special weight. People lived in a timeless way, regardless of their date of birth or their own age. For a long time the idea of childhood did not exist, not having the knowledge of the phases of life that is currently presented, such as childhood, adolescence and adulthood and late adulthood.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a unique moment of bewilderment. And given this, the inhabitants of the city of Itacoatiara, metropolitan region of Manaus, in the state of Amazonas, experienced this pandemic situation in a unique way. Many felt frightened, confined for four long months to their own homes. And because of the risk of contamination by the virus that causes COVID-19, overnight, it was no longer allowed to go to schools, a fact that forced educational institutions to find an alternative to continue the school year. And this alternative, for the continuity of the teaching and learning process, was remote teaching, through the use of digital tools easily accessible to students, such as the cell phone, computer, tablet.

The State of Rio de Janeiro enchants everyone by the beauty and landscape diversity, because it is possible to be close to the Serra and the Sea, however the sudden drop of relief works as a physical bulkhead for the entrance of cold fronts coming from the Atlantic Ocean, which culminate in the formation of heavy rains. Such conditions, added to geology, geomorphology, population density, the constructive profile of buildings, socio-environmental vulnerability and anthropic actions, can trigger mass movements with great destructive power. The increase in recurrences and concentration of rainfall has been increasingly catastrophic, requiring the adoption of technical and management measures that are increasingly fast and effective. In April 2022, the state of Rio de Janeiro faced a serious disaster in the south of the state, being decreed an Emergency Situation in the municipality of Angra dos Reis (Decree 12553/2022 of 02/04/2022).
