Published: January 2024

Inspection of water pipelines with cameras under pressure is attracting attention. The inspection can be performed without digging the ground and water interruption by inserting a camera into aging water pipes while the water is flowing. However, the inspection has two problems: (1) a long-time visual check by expert engineers is required and (2) variations in the evaluation standards. To solve these problems, we have developed an AI image analysis system for automatically judging the state of degradation of water pipelines by using images captured from the in-pipe endoscope cameras. This report describes the developed technology and software to support the inspection work.

Published: January 2024

Gorham-Stout disease (GSD), vanishing bone or phantom bone disease, is an uncommon disease whose etiology is uncertain and its pathophysiology poorly understood. This syndrome is characterized by the spontaneous destruction of the bone matrix associated with massive osteolysis and proliferation of lymphatic vascular structures in the affected areas. In the present article we present a case of GSD in a 10-year-old male patient with osteolytic lesions affecting the skull base, including the occipital bone, the petrous portion of the temporalis and clivus, as well as the vertebral bodies from C1 to C5. This syndrome should be suspected when there is bone pain that does not subside with analgesic treatment. An initial study with an x-ray will help us infer the disease in search of a bone deformity. The treatment depends on the characteristics of the lesion, the best being surgery with radiotherapy.

Authors: Nugraha Danang Satria
Published: January 2024

This research delved deep into the complex and intricate world of derivational verbs in the Indonesian language, with a meticulous analysis of their structure and formation using the lens of derivational morphology. The study scrutinized the systematic rules governing the creation of verbs in Indonesian, exploring the prefixes, suffixes, and root words that significantly shaped their meaning and function. Through advanced linguistic methodologies and extensive data collection, this research aimed to unveil the underlying patterns and principles governing the formation of derivational verbs in Indonesian. The study delved into the intricate web of Indonesian derivational verbs, examining how certain affixes or combinations of affixes could change the meaning of the root word and create an entirely new word. The findings showed that (1) Indonesian verb derivation used a wide range of affixes; these affixes came in various forms, including prefixes like {me(N)-}, {ber-}, {ter-}, and suffixes like {-kan}, {-i}; (2) the use of different affixes with root words resulted in significant semantic shifts, and (3) the significance of affixation patterns and semantic shifts in Indonesian verb derivation was highlighted, which could be used to develop a structured theoretical framework for future linguistic inquiries. The findings of this research offered valuable insights into the language's intricate derivational system, shedding light on the nuanced processes that contributed to the rich tapestry of Indonesian vocabulary. It contributed to a better understanding of the language's syntax, grammar, and partial linguistic structure.

Mucinous appendiceal tumors consist of mucinous adenocarcinoma, low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm, and high-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm. The incidence of non-mucinous adenocarcinomas is reduced. The most recent edition of the World Health Organization classification and recent consensus guidelines will enable the consistent application of agreed nomenclature. Not only is precise diagnosis essential for effective patient management, but it also facilitates the comparison of results across centers and tumor registries. The most prevalent benign adenoma in the appendix is serrated. It is imperative to differentiate these conditions from low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms, as the latter can also resemble harmless ailments. Adenocarcinomas of the goblet cells are a rare subtype of appendiceal neoplasm. While appendiceal neoplasms are uncommon, they are not entirely so, and even the most seasoned pathologists may find them difficult to diagnose. In addition, appendiceal neoplasia classification and terminology have been subjects of contention for decades. Nonmucinous appendiceal neoplasms are less prevalent than mucinous tumors, and their association with other appendiceal neoplasm subtypes remains uncertain. A literature review of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms identified during laparoscopic appendicectomies is presented here.

The main claim in this research is "studying Facebook as a news source". Facebook is now a news source like other media, and users become members of the Facebook virtual network in order to access the events of the day. The method of this research is a survey, and the measuring tool is also a questionnaire. After completing the questionnaires, the findings were obtained and analyzed at the descriptive level through SPSS software. The statistical population of the research includes all Facebook users in Balkh Province, Afghanistan. The sampling method in this research was based on the use of available people, and finally 500 people completed the researcher's questionnaire. The results of this research showed that the majority of users of the Facebook virtual network are young people, and Facebook has become a serious source of news among users, and in fact, the purpose of using Facebook for most of the respondents is to receive daily news. In other words, the importance of using other features of Facebook are secondary. It should also be noted that the main source of news for users was Facebook at first, and then it included television, radio, news agencies and printed publications. The lack of Facebook filter, the diversity of its news, the ease of producing news, the speed of news dissemination, the freshness, the brevity of the news, the speed of access, the ease of access, the production and consumption of news by autopilots, its universality, freedom of expression, are the important factors in the tendency of users to Facebook news in Afghanistan.

Published: January 2024

As the pathophysiology of dyslipidemias is clarified, one system is likely to emerge in which the underlying mechanism explains the phenotypic pattern observed on lipoprotein analysis. Every day, millions of vials of blood are drawn to assess patients’ risk for the disease. These tests measure three biomarkers, or factors in the blood known to be associated with CAD: low-density lipoproteins (LDL cholesterol), high-density lipoproteins (HDL cholesterol), and triglycerides. All three biomarkers are lipids – water-insoluble molecules that are among the structural and functional building blocks of living cells. Highly altered Body Mass Index (BMI) and hypertension are independent and reversible determinants for coronary artery disease. Hypolipidemia can prevent hyperlipidemic patients to be victim of coronary artery disease. This study was conducted to compare hypolipidemic effects of Niacin and Jujube fruit in primary as well as secondary hyperlipidemic patients. Study was conducted in 2023 at Jinnah Hospital Lahore, Pakistan. Sixty participants were enrolled of both gender male and female hyperlipidemic patients age range from 20 to 70 years. Written and explained consent was taken from all patients. They were divided in two groups. Group-I was advised to take two grams Niacin in divided doses for the period of two months. Group-II was advised to take 500 grams of fruit Jujube daily for the period of two months. Their baseline LDL and HDL cholesterol was determined by conventional method of measuring Lipid Profile. After two months therapy, their post treatment lipid profile was measured and mean values with ± SEM were analyzed biostatistically. Group-I which was on Niacin their LDL cholesterol decreased significantly and HDL cholesterol was increased significantly. In group-II patients LDL cholesterol was decreased significantly but HDL increase was not significant with p-value of >0.05. It was concluded from the research work that Niacin is potent in lowering LDL and increasing HDL cholesterol, while Jujube has significant effect as LDL cholesterol lowering agent, but it does not increase HDL cholesterol significantly.

Malaria is an endemic disease in Sudan as well as in many developing countries. The emergence of antimalarial drugs resistance represents a serious problem disturbing the health community throughout the world. Acidity reduces absorption of antimalarial drugs and allows for malaria parasites to survive and multiply. Gastrointestinal pathogens such as Entamoeba histolytica, candida and Helicobacter pylori may support the growth of Plasmodium falciparum, through inhibition of the absorption of Artemether/lumefantrine and offer resistance of interest to malaria parasites. Antimicrobial agents such as tinidazole in case of acidity of microbial origin and antiacids in case of anxiety the resulting acidity may support the action of Artemether/lumefantrine in addition to other antimalarial agent to overcome their absorption defect.

Background: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a constellation of diseases that includes stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. It belongs to the group of cardiovascular diseases and is the most common type among them. Iron is an essential trace element. It plays an important role in maintaining various cellular functions and enzymatic reactions. On the other hand, excessive intake of iron is known to be a risk factor for the progression of atherosclerosis. Abnormal iron deposition in the heart causes hemochromatosis and dilated cardiomyopathy, which leads to ischemic heart disease. Objective: This study aims to investigate the role of serum iron, serum ferritin, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), PT, and PTT in ischemic heart disease (IHD) and their relationship with other risk factors for IHD. Methods: This is a prospective, case-control, cross-sectional analytical study conducted at Elmek Nimir University Hospital, Shendi City, to assess the iron profile and coagulation profile of patients with ischemic heart disease. The study included (30) patients diagnosed with ischemic heart disease and the study group was compared with the mean of the control group (20). Serum iron, ferritin, and TIBC were estimated using a spectrophotometer, and PT and PTT were estimated using manual methods. Data were collected using a structured personal questionnaire and the program (SPSS) version (11.5) was used for data analysis. Results: In this study, patients with ischemic heart disease were (40%) male and (60%) female. In this study, iron averaged (41.0) ug/dl (P. value 0.010), ferritin averaged (233.0) ug/dl (P. value 0.000), and TIBC averaged (44.0) µg/dl. Was shown. (P. value 0.000) compared to mean controls (27.0), (162.0), (56.0). A significant difference was found between the iron profile and his IHD. This study showed the mean PT, PTT for cases (13.4), (40.4) (P-value 0.024), (P. value 0.009) compared with the mean for controls (12.0), (35.1). A significant difference was found between the coagulation profile and IHD. Conclusions: This study concluded that serum levels of iron, ferritin, TIBC, PT, and PTT may be associated with Ischemic heart disease.

Fenomena Jual Beli Username Twitter sebagai Ajang Eksistensi Diri (Studi Fenomenologi Konstruksi Identitas Roleplayer)
Authors: Winarty Shenthya , Puspita Ratna
Published: January 2024

Roleplay is a game played on social media where individuals assume the persona of an artist and manage corresponding social media accounts. This activity involves building a social media identity, with many roleplayers attempting to do so optimally, even resorting to buying usernames at relatively high prices for survival. This research adopts a phenomenological approach, employing observational data collection techniques, and participant interviews, and explores the process of buying and selling usernames on Twitter.The results of this study reveal two primary methods for username transactions: manual searching through the platform's search bar using specific keywords and utilizing Autobase, a tool designed explicitly for buying and selling purposes. Beyond detailing the procedural aspects of username transactions, the research delves into the motives driving individuals to engage in roleplay. One enduring method in roleplaying is the acquisition of usernames, motivated by identity consistency and personal enjoyment. However, the significance of being a roleplayer extends beyond username acquisition. This study emphasizes that the existence of roleplayers is not solely measured by the quality of their usernames. Participants acknowledge that cultivating a positive character and image is equally crucial for their continued presence in the roleplay community.

Organizational and economic mechanism for increase in the energy efficiency of the national economy
Authors: Bendasiuk Oleh , Mykytenko Victoriia , Hurin Oleksandr , Nekliudova Tetiana
Published: January 2024

The article discloses the methodological foundations of energy efficiency management based on the author's definition of the essence and content of the organizational and economic mechanism of increasing the energy efficiency of the national economy as a complex system of interacting organizational-technological, management-administrative and economic-ecological levers and regulators aimed at the rational use of available energy resources to optimize energy consumption, reduce energy costs and increasing the overall productivity of the state economy while rationalizing the development of the country's natural resource potential. The set of principles for implementing the national energy efficiency policy has been improved, the consideration of which is due to the catastrophic state of the energy sector and the urgency of its reconstruction, dividing them into five groups. The scale and nature of the destruction of the energy sector and environmental pollution because of large-scale military aggression of the Russian Federation are shown. The organizational and economic mechanism incorporates tools of a different nature, together with legal regulations, financial and credit support, technical and technological innovations, management decisions, and other measures that will contribute to the achievement of goals in the context of increasing energy efficiency and ensuring energy saving in industries and productions of the national economy. A complex set of priority levers and regulators has been formed to synchronously implement three constitutively crucial tasks: restoration of the domestic energy sector after destruction, rationalization of the development of natural resource potential, and improvement of the economy's energy efficiency. It was noted that the country's post-war recovery in the context of increasing the level of energy efficiency due to the introduction of renewable and alternative energy sources requires comprehensive information and educational and communication support. It is shown that the development of the organizational and economic mechanism for increasing energy efficiency requires the formation of its structure according to seven target sub-mechanisms, considering the destruction of the energy infrastructure and facilities. An algorithm of managerial actions regarding the formation and implementation of the organizational and economic mechanism for increasing the energy efficiency of the national economy in nine stages has been developed.

Published: January 2024

Modern technologies for processing anisotropic materials require an integrated approach to controlling the drying process, which significantly affects the quality and properties of the material. This paper investigates the development of software tools for calculating the main parameters of the drying process of anisotropic materials. The use of cellular automata in this context allows modeling and controlling the distribution of temperature, moisture content, and stresses in the dried material. The work includes the development of a structural diagram and a modeling algorithm, in particular, taking into account the anisotropy of the physical and mechanical characteristics of wood. One of the key features of the work is the possibility of extending the existing transition rules for the cellular automaton model, which allows determining the initial moisture content in the cells based on its gradient at the boundaries and in the center of the wood. Software tools implemented in C++ programming language using the cross-platform environment "Code::Blocks" and the library "wxWidgets" provide the user with an intuitive and user-friendly graphical interface. The user can define input parameters, including geometric dimensions of the material, dryer characteristics, and other process parameters. An important function of the program is the output of results in the form of graphs illustrating the distribution of temperature, moisture content and stresses at different stages of drying. The user can also specify parameters for detailed analysis and export data for further research in Microsoft Excel. The study was conducted on pine wood material, taking into account various drying parameters. The modeling results demonstrate a significant effect of time and process parameters on the distribution of moisture and stresses in the material, which is in line with real-world conditions.

This report presents climate change-informed resource stewardship strategies for diverse Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve natural and cultural resources. The strategies were developed in early 2022 by park staff and other subject-matter experts in a scenario-based climate change adaptation planning process. Strategy development was facilitated by National Park Service (NPS) climate change adaptation specialists. Strategies address critical climate change implications for park resources identified in an immediately preceding (fall-2021) climate-resource scenario development process. The overall, nearly-year-long scenario- and strategy-development process was entirely virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although this circumstance was constraining in some ways, it also provided many benefits, including lower barriers to participant entry, smoother pacing, more opportunities to incorporate personal reflection and individual work, and more points in the process where facilitators could intervene to support participants or make changes. Absence of travel costs, plus organization of the process into a larger number of smaller steps than in the past, allowed the 11 participating park resource management staff to include a large pool of several dozen federal, tribal, state, academic, and private-sector partners. Climate change adaptation strategies are most likely to foster climate change-informed resource stewardship when they support a specific planning process. In this case, that process was the 2021?2023 development of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve Resource Stewardship Strategy. A Resource Stewardship Strategy is a dynamic planning tool that parks use to set goals for natural and cultural resource stewardship, identify activities to achieve and maintain desired conditions, and track progress.

Climate Smart Agriculture in Kenya's ASALS: Gaps and Barriers in Policy Development and Implementation
Authors: Akuja Thomas Ekamais , Kandagor Jacqueline Jebet
Published: January 2024

This paper presents an evaluation of the gaps and barriers in policy development and implementation with regard to Climate Change in Kenya's arid and semi-arid lands (ASALS). In spite of concerted efforts and considerable attention accorded to the climate change effects in the region, there is little improvement. Through a desktop review of previous studies and policy documents, this paper examines the mitigation measures proposed and interrogates the practicality of these measures as well as the gaps and challenges in formulation and implementation. The ASALS are the most hit by climate change, and they make up 89% of the country's landmass and are home to approximately 20 million people, which translates to 38% of the Kenyan population. The region is also home to 60% of the country's livestock, and the considerable contribution of livestock to global warming is justification enough to focus on Climate Smart Agriculture in the ASALS. The region is predominantly rural, and for their livelihoods, the farmers rely on rain, which has become unreliable due to climate, hence the persistent food insecurity. Policies have been formulated to address mitigation, adaptation, and food security with outcomes such as improving yields, growing net returns, lessening the emission of Green House Gases, boosting input use and efficiency, enhancing resilience, and improving gender and social inclusion. Understanding the constraints in the implementation of Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices would be useful in improving policy formulation and intervention planning. The findings of this study reveal gaps and barriers in the formulation and implementation of CSA policies stemming from lack of awareness, which is responsible for the low adaptability levels, nature of land ownership in the ASALS, cultural factors, poor coordination between stakeholders and inadequate funding for CSA projects
