Recurrent anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis followed by anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein encephalitis-a case report
Authors: Wu Xiping , Ji Yuanfei , Xie Guomin , Wang Haifeng , Wu Hao , huang li-li , Lai Guo-Gang
Published: February 2023

Background
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that often causes a range of neuropsychiatric symptoms; but with a relatively low recurrence rate. Anti-NMDAR encephalitis may occur with anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) encephalitis simultaneously or followed by anti-MOG encephalitis after several months.
Case presentation
We presented a case of recurrent anti-NMDAR encephalitis followed by anti-MOG encephalitis. A 39-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with five episodes of convulsive seizures, psychoses and memory deficits. With a positive Anti-NMDAR antibody in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), after being treated with intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) 22.5 g/day for 7 days, intravenous methylprednisolone pulse (IVMP) 500 mg/day for 4 days, and followed by IVMP 250 mg/day for 3 days, the patient was recovered completely. After 1 month, the patient developed disturbances of consciousness, speech difficulties and convulsions. With the positive result of Anti-NMDAR antibodies in the CSF again, we confirmed the diagnosis of recurrent anti-NMDAR encephalitis. The patient was then fully recovered after treatment with IVIG, IVMP and rituximab. Six months later, the patient was readmitted to the hospital with occasional convulsions. With a positive serum MOG antibody and a lesion in the right brainstem by brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the patient was confirmed for anti-MOG encephalitis. The patient was fully recovered again after treatment with IVMP and rituximab, with no neurological sequels remained.
Conclusion
Patients with positive MOG antibodies are more likely to have brainstem MRI lesions than those with anti-NMDAR encephalitis. Rituximab is recommended for recurrent anti-NMDAR and anti-MOG encephalitis.

A topic of great interest in forestry research is recognizing the behavior of stands planted at different spacings to optimize the potential of producing multiple products. This study aimed to assess the future production of multiple products from Eucalyptus sp. planted at 12 different spacings. The study area was in central Brazil. A Nelder systematic design with three replications was used. This design yielded 432 planting spots per plot per replicate. Diameter at breast height (DBH) and total height were measured for all trees from 4 to 36 months of age. In addition, the volume of five trees for the spacings of 16, 24, and 36 months of age was measured. Subsequently, an equation system was fitted for each area to project the Weibull 3P probability density function parameters: minimum diameter, maximum diameter, and the number of trees. The current and mean annual increments were assessed based on the total volume. Trees of 36 and 48 months of age were compared between the population designed for multiple products (Scenario I) and the population designed for only one product (Scenario II). The results showed that spacing affects the technical harvest age and that 0.77 m² and 1.76 m² are optimal for a short-term regime

Published: February 2023

Stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) is an important fungal disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum) due to its ability to cause severe yield losses on susceptible cultivars grown under conducive conditions. The objective of this study was to evaluate 81 Kenyan wheat cultivars for yield, agronomic traits and resistance to rust. A 3-season field experiment was conducted in a 9 × 9 partially balanced lattice design at KALRO, Njoro (0˚ 20’S and 35˚ 56’E) under stem rust (Sr) and yellow rust (Yr) pressure. The results from this study showed that effects due to season, cultivar and cultivar × season interaction were significant (p≤0.001) for number of kernels spike-1, Area Under Disease Progress Curve for stem rust (AUDPC_SR), Area Under Disease Progress Curve for yellow rust (AUDPC_YR), yield, 1000-kernel weight (TKW), biomass and days to heading. Principal component analysis showed AUDPC was the most effective disease parameter for determining rust resistance and biplot analysis identified cultivars K. Fahari, K. Kingbird, K. Songbird and K. Pelican with desirable traits for yield, TKW, biomass and kernels spike -1. Stem rust contributed to the highest in reduction of yield and TKW accounting for 12.87% and 21.95% variation, respectively while Yr contributed the most to biomass reduction accounting for 25.65% variation. From this study, cultivars Bounty, Lenana, and K. Leopard which produced high yield, low AUDPC_SR and AUDPC_YR values ranging from 3.5- 32.2 and 15.6-80.4, respectively can be used as valuable genetic stocks for improvement of rust resistance in wheat cultivars in Kenya

Published: February 2023

Highly weathered soils are commonly found in most crops cultivation sites of Brazil, such as maize and soybean. They impose many challenges for plant growth, such as reduced nutrient availability. Hyphal networks, resulting from mutualistic symbiotic associations between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), could be a viable alternative to improve plant growth and nutrition by enhancing root access to a significantly larger soil surface area, increasing nutrient availability and uptake. Thus, we aimed at evaluating in-furrow applications of propagules from four AMF species to enhance soybeans and maize yields, plant vigor, plant height, and biomass accumulation. Thereby, four soybeans and six maize field trials were conducted in the 2018/2019 growing season in Brazil in different environments. Two EndoMaxx SC rates (150 or 300 ml ha-1) were tested, with or without P fertilization during sowing. Results indicated that both rates positively impacted all variables analyzed, regardless of crop species and P fertilization. Even in the absence of P fertilization, AMF-colonized soybeans and maize treatments were either significantly higher or similar to the untreated control. Moreover, crop yield was 2.6-9.1% more when the highest rate of AMF was applied in combination with P fertilization compared to the P-fertilized untreated control. In-furrow EndoMaxx SC applications are an alternative to increase the sustainability of soybean and maize production, especially in a scenario, in which yield must be maximized in the coming decades to supply food for the exponentially growing population without expanding cultivations to new sites.

Published: February 2023

Water losses in water distribution systems reach significant rates depending on the network characteristics. Various methods, which have initial investment and operating costs, have been applied to reduce these losses. Therefore, appropriate and applicable methods should be preferred by considering the network characteristics. The aim of this study is to determine the economic loss level with an optimization algorithm for utilities with different network characteristics, water production, operating costs and institutional capacity. Three pilot utilities with different system characteristics and water loss components were selected as application areas. The non-revenue water rates are currently calculated as 57%, 50% and 37%, respectively. The economic loss levels in the pilot utilities were calculated as 29%, 16% and 23% with the optimization model. Moreover, the most appropriate methods to be applied according to the conditions of the utilities were determined in order to reach these defined economic loss levels. It is thought that the results obtained from this study will be a reference for the development of sustainable water loss management strategies and their implementation in the field.

Authors: Alfianarrochmah Ilma , Nugroho Arief Setiawan Budi , Handayani Tantri Nastiti
Published: February 2023

The increasing population growth rate causes a city to face the problem of limited land for residential development. Housing is a fundamental demand of the community that must be fulfilled, especially for low-income people. Through the construction of flats named Rusunawa, the government tries to fulfill the demand for decent housing and anticipates the emergence of slum settlements. In its development, there are Rusunawa whose management is not optimal in maintenance which results in unkempt conditions and causes residents to not get satisfaction and convenience in occupying housing. This study aims to analyze the level of satisfaction, the convenience of residents, and the management of Rusunawa. It is based on the income level of residents and identifies strategies for service improvement of Rusunawa management. This study uses primary data to obtain the level of satisfaction, comfort, and management of flats based on income levels. The data collected is preliminary data consisting of data from questionnaires to the residents of the apartments and data from interviews with the Rusunawa management agency. The method in this study uses a mixed method based on qualitative methods with interview techniques and quantitative methods with survey techniques (questionnaires). The results show that there is a significant difference in the level of building convenience based on the income level of the residents of the Rusunawa. The management of the Rusunawa has not reached its maximum goals related to implementing the Rusunawa regulation. Runaway development programs are required, such as providing counseling, participating in social activities regarding environmental care, and conducting socialization with residents, especially the priority aspects of unique flats for low-income communities.
Application of Walkability Principles of Pedestrian Path in Supporting the Green City Concept (Case of Parasamya Street Corridor, Sleman Regency)
Authors: Suminar Lintang , Kusumaningrum Lia
Published: February 2023

The convenience of pedestrian paths is an essential aspect that needs to be studied in urban planning. Along with the increasing use of motorized vehicles, facilities for pedestrians must also be considered to minimize the acquisition of pedestrian space. Walkability is a concept that prioritizes safety, comfort, and being able to provide friendliness to its users. The provision of facilities on pedestrian paths is also one of the supporting aspects in realizing a green city because the green lanes found on pedestrian paths have benefits such as circulation, city aesthetic functions, and maintaining urban air quality. The government area of Sleman Regency is an integrated office area that has begun to improve the pedestrian path, including Parasamya Street. This study aims to examine the application of the walkability principle on Parasamya Street, Sleman Regency, as an effort to support the concept of a green city. The research method used is qualitative through observation, documentation, mapping, and interpreting the results descriptively by comparing the existing conditions with theories and regulations related to the concept of pedestrian paths and the concept of a green city. The results obtained from this study are that the application of the walkability principles on Parasamya Street can support the concept of a green city which is indicated by the fulfilment of infrastructure facilities, including ecological comfort. Things that need to be improved are an equal distribution of facilities for the disabled and the improvement of crossing facilities.
Inflación de las demandas para satisfacer las demandas en el sistema de la medicina
Authors: Zamorano Farías Raúl
Published: February 2023

Sobre la base de la teoría general de los sistemas sociales, que afirma que cualquier sistema social solo puede funcionar a través de la comunicación, en este trabajo se describe y analiza la relación entre la diferenciación funcional, las expectativas y la inflación de las demandas en el sistema de la medicina, un sistema constitutivo de la sociedad moderna y, por sus características, equiparable con cualquier otro.

Evolutivamente, en el moderno sistema de la medicina se han venido ampliando las exigencias hacia él dirigidas, ensanchando demandas que de por sí ya habían presentado importantes logros visibles como, por ejemplo, en la prolongación de la expectativa de vida y en el desarrollo de tratamientos para padecimientos no necesariamente mortales. Justamente, este cambio potencial orienta la reflexión para observar la estabilidad de las comunicaciones en el sistema de la medicina y ver como éste reacciona frente a las condiciones de posibilidad que potencian, limitan o recrean el fenómeno de la inflación de las demandas que, en la actualidad paradójicamente, tematizan demandas para satisfacer demandas.

BACKGROUND

An artificial intelligence (AI) model using chest radiography (CXR) may provide good performance in making prognoses for COVID-19.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to develop and validate a prediction model using CXR based on an AI model and clinical variables to predict clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19.

METHODS

This retrospective longitudinal study included patients hospitalized for COVID-19 at multiple COVID-19 medical centers between February 2020 and October 2020. Patients at Boramae Medical Center were randomly classified into training, validation, and internal testing sets (at a ratio of 8:1:1, respectively). An AI model using initial CXR images as input, a logistic regression model using clinical information, and a combined model using the output of the AI model (as CXR score) and clinical information were developed and trained to predict hospital length of stay (LOS) ≤2 weeks, need for oxygen supplementation, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The models were externally validated in the Korean Imaging Cohort of COVID-19 data set for discrimination and calibration.

RESULTS

The AI model using CXR and the logistic regression model using clinical variables were suboptimal to predict hospital LOS ≤2 weeks or the need for oxygen supplementation but performed acceptably in the prediction of ARDS (AI model area under the curve [AUC] 0.782, 95% CI 0.720-0.845; logistic regression model AUC 0.878, 95% CI 0.838-0.919). The combined model performed better in predicting the need for oxygen supplementation (AUC 0.704, 95% CI 0.646-0.762) and ARDS (AUC 0.890, 95% CI 0.853-0.928) compared to the CXR score alone. Both the AI and combined models showed good calibration for predicting ARDS (P=.079 and P=.859).

CONCLUSIONS

The combined prediction model, comprising the CXR score and clinical information, was externally validated as having acceptable performance in predicting severe illness and excellent performance in predicting ARDS in patients with COVID-19.
Determining Distinct Suicide Attempts From Recurrent Electronic Health Record Codes: Classification Study (Preprint)
Authors: Bentley Kate H , Madsen Emily M , Song Eugene , Zhou Yu , Castro Victor , Lee Hyunjoon , Lee Younga H , Smoller Jordan W
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND

Prior suicide attempts are a relatively strong risk factor for future suicide attempts. There is growing interest in using longitudinal electronic health record (EHR) data to derive statistical risk prediction models for future suicide attempts and other suicidal behavior outcomes. However, model performance may be inflated by a largely unrecognized form of “data leakage” during model training: diagnostic codes for suicide attempt outcomes may refer to prior attempts that are also included in the model as predictors.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to develop an automated rule for determining when documented suicide attempt diagnostic codes identify distinct suicide attempt events.

METHODS

From a large health care system’s EHR, we randomly sampled suicide attempt codes for 300 patients with at least one pair of suicide attempt codes documented at least one but no more than 90 days apart. Supervised chart reviewers assigned the clinical settings (ie, emergency department [ED] versus non-ED), methods of suicide attempt, and intercode interval (number of days). The probability (or positive predictive value) that the second suicide attempt code in a given pair of codes referred to a distinct suicide attempt event from its preceding suicide attempt code was calculated by clinical setting, method, and intercode interval.

RESULTS

Of 1015 code pairs reviewed, 835 (82.3%) were nonindependent (ie, the 2 codes referred to the same suicide attempt event). When the second code in a pair was documented in a clinical setting other than the ED, it represented a distinct suicide attempt 3.3% of the time. The more time elapsed between codes, the more likely the second code in a pair referred to a distinct suicide attempt event from its preceding code. Code pairs in which the second suicide attempt code was assigned in an ED at least 5 days after its preceding suicide attempt code had a positive predictive value of 0.90.

CONCLUSIONS

EHR-based suicide risk prediction models that include International Classification of Diseases codes for prior suicide attempts as a predictor may be highly susceptible to bias due to data leakage in model training. We derived a simple rule to distinguish codes that reflect new, independent suicide attempts: suicide attempt codes documented in an ED setting at least 5 days after a preceding suicide attempt code can be confidently treated as new events in EHR-based suicide risk prediction models. This rule has the potential to minimize upward bias in model performance when prior suicide attempts are included as predictors in EHR-based suicide risk prediction models.
Data Quality– and Utility-Compliant Anonymization of Common Data Model–Harmonized Electronic Health Record Data: Protocol for a Scoping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Kamdje Wabo Gaetan , Prasser Fabian , Gierend Kerstin , Siegel Fabian , Ganslandt Thomas
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND

The anonymization of Common Data Model (CDM)–converted EHR data is essential to ensure the data privacy in the use of harmonized health care data. However, applying data anonymization techniques can significantly affect many properties of the resulting data sets and thus biases research results. Few studies have reviewed these applications with a reflection of approaches to manage data utility and quality concerns in the context of CDM-formatted health care data.

OBJECTIVE

Our intended scoping review aims to identify and describe (1) how formal anonymization methods are carried out with CDM-converted health care data, (2) how data quality and utility concerns are considered, and (3) how the various CDMs differ in terms of their suitability for recording anonymized data.

METHODS

The planned scoping review is based on the framework of Arksey and O'Malley. By using this, only articles published in English will be included. The retrieval of literature items should be based on a literature search string combining keywords related to data anonymization, CDM standards, and data quality assessment. The proposed literature search query should be validated by a librarian, accompanied by manual searches to include further informal sources. Eligible articles will first undergo a deduplication step, followed by the screening of titles. Second, a full-text reading will allow the 2 reviewers involved to reach the final decision about article selection, while a domain expert will support the resolution of citation selection conflicts. Additionally, key information will be extracted, categorized, summarized, and analyzed by using a proposed template into an iterative process. Tabular and graphical analyses should be addressed in alignment with the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) checklist. We also performed some tentative searches on Web of Science for estimating the feasibility of reaching eligible articles.

RESULTS

Tentative searches on Web of Science resulted in 507 nonduplicated matches, suggesting the availability of (potential) relevant articles. Further analysis and selection steps will allow us to derive a final literature set. Furthermore, the completion of this scoping review study is expected by the end of the fourth quarter of 2023.

CONCLUSIONS

Outlining the approaches of applying formal anonymization methods on CDM-formatted health care data while taking into account data quality and utility concerns should provide useful insights to understand the existing approaches and future research direction based on identified gaps.

Entre o dissenso e o pathos: descortesia e ethos
Authors: Gil Isabel Fuzeta
Published: February 2023

Neste artigo debruçar-nos-emos sobre os jogos / as estratégias de influência desenvolvidas no discurso político, de acordo com as teorizações de Charaudeau (2005, 2007, 2008). Suscita-nos particular interesse o discurso marcado por traços de polemicidade, frequentemente assente na dicotomização e na polarização (AMOSSY, 2010, 2014). A esta estruturação textual/discursiva não é, de modo algum, estranha a desqualificação e, no extremo, a diabolização do Outro, envolvendo a realização (estratégica) de atos ilocutórios caracterizados pela impolidez no conflito (KERBRAT-ORECCHIONI, 2017). Por outro lado, entre o convencer/persuadir aflora à superfície textual a manifestação linguística das emoções (PLANTIN, 2011) ao serviço do “contrato de comunicação”, no seio do dissenso. Com efeito, a patemização do discurso condiciona a reação dos interlocutores em determinadas situações. Tais aspetos enunciativo-pragmáticos e retóricos marcam o discurso político português (MARQUES, 2000): o discurso referendário (GIL, 2018, 2021) em torno de temas sensíveis é não apenas agónico, mas extremamente marcado pelo pathos. Cabe perguntar como no discurso político se articulam agonismo e violência verbal com a construção de um ethos credível e legítimo.
A construção dos ethé de Karol Conká: uma análise discursiva e textual
Authors: Rodrigues Letícia Teixeira Lobo , Silva André Brito da , Sousa Francisco José Gomes de
Published: February 2023

O presente artigo, à luz do que preveem os critérios analíticos da Análise do Discurso de corrente francesa, da Linguística Textual e de assunções teóricas com as Retóricas clássica e moderna, pretende analisar e discutir a construção da prova argumentativa do ethos a partir de três imagens discursivas constituídas pela rapper brasileira Karol Conká. Para tanto, realizou-se um recorte do nosso objeto de investigação, que consiste nas representações éticas elaboradas pela cantora no marco temporal antes, durante e após sua participação no reality show Big Brother Brasil 21. Ademais, a pesquisa deseja observar como essas imagens construídas apresentam os posicionamentos discursivos assumidos e a orientação argumentativa dos textos produzidos pelo sujeito enunciador em questão, na medida em que utilizamos tais pressupostos como parâmetros de análise para as reflexões aqui empreendidas. Assim, o estudo apoia-se nos subsídios teóricos oferecidos por Amossy (2008), Maingueneau (2008) e Cavalcante et al. (2019), para que, dessa maneira, possamos teorizar e credibilizar as nossas examinações. Ao término do trabalho, chegamos à conclusão de que Karol Conká, a depender do contexto comunicativo em que se encontrava, construía um ethos diferente, agindo de forma estratégica e, essencialmente, argumentativa, e assim elaborava uma imagem discursiva e textual de si que melhor atendia aos seus propósitos comunicativos em uma dada interação. Isso leva à conclusão de que, em um mesmo ser enunciador, é possível o estabelecimento de ethé completamente distintos, ainda que em um espaço de tempo relativamente curto.
Léxico e ethos religioso: modos de operação ideológica no discurso praticado em uma provisão eclesiástica
Authors: Pessoa Yago Bezerra , Ximenes Expedito Eloísio
Published: February 2023

Este artigo buscou analisar o léxico e o ethos religioso, a partir do discurso praticado na provisão eclesiástica produzida em ambientes eclesiásticos, tipo documental de natureza diplomática redigido por um bispo diocesano, cuja finalidade era nomear o padre Joaquim Alves Ferreira para o exercício canônico de pároco da paróquia de São Miguel Arcanjo de Itapebuçu-CE. Para tanto, amparamo-nos nas perspectivas teóricas da Filologia e da Análise de Discurso Crítica, por meio dos estudos de Spina (1977), Bourdieu (1984), Gumbrecht (2007), Bellotto (2002), Abbade (2006), Krieger (2006), Ximenes (2013) e Fairclough (2016). Para compreendermos a construção hierárquica da Igreja Católica e a sua divisão de postos de poder, amparamo-nos em Urban e Bexten (2013), no Código de Direito Canônico (2017) e em alguns teóricos do estudo do léxico. Nosso corpus de pesquisa é constituído de um exemplar de provisão eclesiástica coletado do Livro de Tombo da Paróquia de Itapebuçu-CE, datado de 1939. Após a coleta, o documento passou por tratamento filológico, sendo apresentado neste trabalho, em duas edições: fac-similar e semidiplomática; em etapa seguinte, o tipo documental foi analisado linguisticamente, tendo como foco a manifestação do poder religioso através do léxico, também revelador dos mecanismos discursivos de construção do ethos do bispo redator. Portanto, o trabalho ambicionou aproximar o labor filológico do estudo crítico do discurso, investigando a prática textual-discursiva de figuras de poder da alta hierarquia da Igreja Católica em terras cearenses.
Intencionalidade na prática: aplicação em produção multimodal
Authors: Ramos Paulo , Carmelino Ana Cristina
Published: February 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo mostrar a aplicabilidade da noção de intencionalidade em texto multimodal. Ao mesmo tempo em que se trilha esse objetivo, evidencia-se a relevância do conceito para abordagens contemporâneas da Linguística Textual brasileira. O estudo parte da forma como o termo foi cunhado por Beaugrande e Dressler e aborda como ele foi desenvolvido posteriormente no Brasil, em particular nas leituras feitas por Koch e Marcuschi, dois dos autores que mais contribuíram para difundir o conceito no país. A aplicação será feita em polêmica em torno de uma tira cômica de Armadinho, série criada pelo desenhista brasileiro Alexandre Beck.
Gestos manuais e faciais na produção de perguntas retóricas: uma descrição acústico-gestual em um conjunto de entrevistas no Brasil
Authors: Dias Karina Damaceno , Pacheco Vera , Oliveira Marian
Published: February 2023

Como apontam alguns trabalhos, os movimentos corporais e/ou faciais carregam consigo informações prosódicas, funcionando, assim, como uma prosódia visual. Nesse sentido, entendemos que esses movimentos podem fornecer pistas importantes para que um ouvinte possa inferir sentidos compatíveis às intenções do falante. Partindo dessa discussão, o objetivo deste trabalho é descrever os padrões gestuais e acústicos das perguntas retóricas do Português Brasileiro (PB). Com vistas a investigar se diferentes tipos de pergunta possuem diferentes características acústicas e gestuais, fizemos uma descrição gestual, através do Elan 4.9.1 (LAUSBERG; SLOETJES, 2009), e uma descrição acústica, através do Praat 5.2.01 (BOERSMA; WEENINK, 2010), de 69 interrogativas retóricas obtidas por meio da análise de 6 entrevistas no Brasil. Para a análise gestual, baseamo-nos nos sistemas de código facial de Ekman e Friesen (1976) e de análise gestual de Bressem (2013). Para a discriminação das atitudes presentes nas interrogativas retóricas, utilizamos como base os estudos de Fónagy (1993), Antunes (2007), Moraes, Miranda e Rilliard (2012) e Moraes et al. (2010). Nossos resultados mostraram que não há gestos e curva melódica característicos de determinadas atitudes presentes nas perguntas retóricas, mas, ainda assim, endossaram mais ainda a importância desses gestos na marcação de interrogativas.

Authors: Ramos Salamanca Félix
Published: February 2023

Las consecuencias de la enfermedad de COVID-19 en la población mundial no tienen precedentes. En lo emocional, el miedo al contagio ha marcado diferencias en su enfrentamiento. El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo revisar la literatura científica sobre la emoción de miedo y su posible relación con la condición física de sobrepeso y obesidad en los individuos, así como los factores de riesgo asociados durante la pandemia. Los enfoques metodológicos resaltan en lo cualitativo y en lo cuantitativo que se utilizan en la psicología clínica y la salud. Por lo que se realizó una revisión de diferentes estudios sobre la relación existente entre la emoción de miedo y la obesidad, esto durante la pandemia de COVID-19, en los que se pueden hacer observaciones de la influencia de dicha emoción, como una barrera para la adopción de conductas saludables.
A Review on Use of Gold Mine Waste in Preparation of Concrete
Authors: Doiphode Shubham , Dhanuskar Prof. Dr. J , Deshmukh Dr. A. R.
Published: February 2023

Abstract: The Rapid increase in urbanisation and industrialisation lead to the construction of huge buildings and factories. So, the usage of concrete is also increased. The partial replacement of cement and fine and coarse aggregate that will fulfil the strength of the concrete without the native materials. Even the fine and coarse aggregates are becoming scarce due to this excessive usage. The usage of cement also affects the environment by the emission of carbon and heat this is due to the hydration process of cement. Crushed black stones are a primary waste product from Gold mines which also affects the environment. This waste is a combination of dust and stone chips from parent rock of the ore and the properties of the waste directly depends upon the composition of the parent rock. The waste that is generated from the goldmines does not withstand the vegetation and it will release the fine particles into the atmosphere causing air pollution. Hence, it is essential to find some innovative way to use this Gold Mine waste. This gold mine waste can be used in the construction industry as a substitute for the coarse aggregate in making concrete.
A Review Paper on Progressive Collapse Analysis of Different Shell Structure: A Critical Review
Authors: Tayade Bhagyashree , Deshpande Dr. Girija , Joshi Prof. Prasad
Published: February 2023

Abstract: Progressive collapse occurs when one of the structural members fails, causing other structural members to fail. This leads to the collapse of all or part of the structure. Failure of a vertical structural member is the most common cause of progressive structural collapse Explosive charges, accidents or deliberate destruction can cause the column to fail and collapse. The analysis is performed by removing the columns at different locations one by one according to General Service Administration (GSA) guidelines, and then evaluating the radius and column DCR values. The results concluded that the column removed from the center is more vulnerable to progressive collapse.

Published: February 2023

Abstract: According to recent data, schoolchildren are the group most susceptible to social crimes that take place anywhere in the globe, including in our own country. On their way to and from school, many of these instances take place. Other times, social offence like sexual harassment happened to them when they were riding the school bus. We suggest a real-time monitoring system based on image processing methods because of how serious the problem is. The media has made using a camera to identify a pupil more commonplace. This system monitors the bus cameras and examines the children's movements. The technology recognises student faces and records student ID numbers. The technology will also sound an alarm to notify the public if the situation is urgent. Technologies that can be used with Python are included in the Open CV (Open Computer Vision) package. Face detection was performed using the Haar-Cascades classifier, and face identification was performed utilising Eigen faces. Using flowcharts, the system's levels are represented. Furthermore, The automation attendance systems use face recognition, This eliminates the vast majority of problems that manual attendance systems.
