STIGMATISATIONS ETHNIQUES ET VIOLENCE TERRORISTE EN AFRIQUE : APPROCHE PAR LA DIPLOMATIE PREVENTIVE
Authors:   Universite de Kara - Togo., Komlan Agbetoezian Aziale
Published: May 2023

This article is a contribution to the analysis of the phenomenon of violent extremism and, beyond that, of the terrorist violence that continues to gain ground in Africa. We have analysed this phenomenon in relation to ethnic stigmatization, based on the principle that these are part of the logic of denial, of the denial of recognition suffered by certain communities.The consequence of such contempt is the withdrawal of identity, the most likely horizon of which is the cultivation or development of violent extremism. The challenge of this article is therefore to think of solutions, at the same time, to ethnic stigmatization and violent extremism from a reading of the principles of preventive diplomacy in the light of theories of recognition.

The number of patients having surgery grew by 13.93% between 2017 and 2018, from 4,867 to 6,444, according to the hospitals polled. Therefore, there is an increased risk of equipment damage occurring during operation as a result of adjustments and management. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to examine the safety of anesthetic equipment, the contributing variables to that safety, and accident prevention strategies. The research indicates that there are 51 devices spread throughout 8 locations, including 12 devices at the First Central Hospital of Mongolia, 3 devices at Intermed, and 3 devices at Gurvan Gal and the Second State Central Hospital, respectively. At the hospitals surveyed, 40â€“50% of the most frequent breakdowns were caused by sensor malfunctions. At these institutions, 15â€“35% of the operational equipment was out-of-date, and only 45% of spare parts were replaced on a regular basis within the allotted time. Therefore, it is essential to ensure the availability of spare parts for frequently damaged parts, prompt replacement of spare parts, increase the number of engineers and technicians, uninstall any equipment that is outdated or that has been in use for more than eight years, or check it daily with an analyzer for safety and specialists must adhere attentively to the safety recommendations.

Background:Schatzker Type V and VI tibial fractures are complex injuries and are usually treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Although there are many other treatment methods, there is no gold standard treatment for these fractures. Hence, the present study was undertaken to evaluate outcome and associated complications of open reduction and internal fixation for Schatzker type V and VI proximal tibial fractures. Methodology:This observational study was conducted on 32 patients with Schatzker type V and VI tibial plateau fractures. Patients of age more than 18 years of any gender with these fractures were included. Clinical and radiological assessments were done at 1, 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Oxford Knee Scoring system was used for assessing the functional outcome. Analysis of repeated measurements was done using Generalized Estimating Equations method. A p value <0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results:The mean of the patients was 44.66 Â± 12.31 years. Right side affection was more common. Complete radiological union was achieved in 84.4%, malunion in 12.5% and non-union in 3.1%. Most of the patients achieved union within 15-20 weeks. Knee stiffness (18.8%) was the commonest complication encountered. The mean Oxford score showed a significant improvement from 1 month till 6 months (p<0.05), but we could not find any significant differences in the mean Oxford score between the type V and VI tibial plateau fractures. Excellent and goods results were seen in 43.8% each fair in 9.4% and poor in 3.1%. Conclusion:Open reduction with internal fixation had shown good to excellent results in our study in patients with Schatzker type V and VI tibial plateau fractures with low rate of complications.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING QUESTIONS PRODUCED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENTS IN A TEACHING PROGRAM BASED ON SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION LITERATURE. The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the use of scientific dissemination literature (SDL) in the process of formulating questions developed by chemistry students in a Teaching Program in Chemistry. To this end, the book entitled The Disappearing Spoon was analyzed in terms of categories referring to format and content, while the 18 questions produced by these students about the chapters read were analyzed in terms of presupposition and request. The investigation was carried out with 16 undergraduates who were taking a theoretical course on “Introduction to Chemistry”, as part of the Teaching Program in Chemistry. According to the analysis carried out, some particularities of format, such as the scarcity of visual resources, the autonomous structure of the chapters and the language, may have influenced the elaborated presentations. It is interesting to note that almost half of the questions produced were of an investigative nature, demonstrating the potential of SDL to stimulate high cognitive skills. In addition, the questions with investigative requests were mostly opinion questions, which may have been motivated by characteristics of the text read, such as the content with a controversial approach used by the author, when reporting on some aspects of scientific activity.

Authors: Cruz-Negrete Juan David
Published: May 2023

Atravesar una pandemia y los hechos relevantes del primer trimestre de 2022 traza un panorama de retos para cualquier sector económico. El turismo es uno de esos renglones llamados a desenvolver maniobras de ajustes, cambios y transformaciones para enfrentar los desafíos y acoplarse a las tendencias del mercado. Siguiendo con las recomendaciones de Tahar et al. (2021), el turismo ha de reconocer la importancia de saber definir el destino, así como cuáles serán las características fundamentales a promocionar. Con este primer postulado, toda la cadena de valor se moviliza bajo ese marco, además, se crea una identidad en conjunto sobre qué experiencia y cómo desarrollarla para los turistas, se construye un imaginario de destino, las empresas turísticas lo ejecutan y los turistas asimilan dicha sincronía: este es un panorama ideal que beneficia tanto a empresas turísticas como a clientes. Complementando esta proposición, Porto y Ramos (2022) conciben que, a pesar de que el sector turístico ha sobrevivido a los embates de la pandemia por COVID-19, en este punto debe denotar aprendizajes; por ejemplo, elevar una petición a la industria para, bajo parámetros científicos, desarrollar un análisis económico que afine la toma de decisiones.

Authors: Minaeian Sara , Khales Pegah , Hosseini-Hosseinabad Seyed Morteza , Farahmand Mohammad , Poortahmasebi Vahdat , Habib Zahra , Tavakoli Ahmad
Published: May 2023

Background:

Rotaviruses are the cause of acute gastroenteritis and severe diarrheal diseases
in children worldwide. Children under the age of five are more susceptible to rotavirus infections. Due
to such as the lack of effective drugs and supportive therapy only, the development of new antiviral
agents against rotaviruses is required. Multi-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is also one of the
most challenging Gram-negative bacteria to control and treat due to its antibiotic resistance, particularly
in intensive care units.

Objective:

This study aimed to investigate the activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles against human rotavirus
and multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.

Methods:

The standard 50% tissue culture infectious dose method and the real-time polymerase chain
reaction assay were used to investigate the effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles on rotaviruses. The well
diffusion and the minimum inhibitory concentration method were used to assess the antibacterial activity
of zinc oxide nanoparticles against Acinetobacter baumannii.

Results:

300 μg/ml of zinc oxide nanoparticles demonstrated the highest anti-rotavirus effects, resulting
in a 3.16 logarithmic decrease in virus infectious titer, and a four-unit increase in the cycle threshold
value of the real-time polymerase chain reaction assay compared to the untreated control (P value
<0.001 and P value = 0.005, respectively). The diameter of the inhibition zone of zinc oxide nanoparticles
solution against Acinetobacter baumannii was 17 mm. The minimum inhibitory concentration results
of the zinc oxide nanoparticles solution against Acinetobacter baumannii was 1.56 mg/ml.

Food Ingredients in Gujarat, India
Authors: Pramanik Jhilam , Kumar Akash , Phurailatpam Bidyalakshmi
Published: May 2023

Background:

Malnutrition is associated with high morbidity and death in children under the age of five. A large child population is suffering from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and it is not possible to admit every child for treatment in hospitals. SAM may be treated simply by providing calorie-dense, protein-rich, vitamin- and mineral-fortified meals at home. In India, there are 132 million children under the age of five, and 8 million of them are affected by malnutrition. As a result, there is a demand for locally made ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) comparable to WHO-recommended RUTF, which should be efficient, safe, and easily accessible.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to develop a RUTF from locally available raw materials, such as barley flour, ghee, peanut, sugar, and flaxseeds.

Methods:

For the development of optimized RUTF, an I-Optimal mixture design with three variable and three non-variable factors was used. Thirty semi-trained panelists participated in sensory analy-sis. The finally optimized RUTF (with high desirability) was further analyzed. The optimized RUTF composition included malted-roasted barley flour (25 gm), roasted peanut (25 gm), powdered sugar (20 gm), desi ghee (20 gm), and roasted flax seeds (10 gm).

Results:

The optimized RUTF (100gm) provided 522.72 ± 0.031 kcal total energy, and the protein-energy, fat–energy, and carbohydrate-energy ratio of RUTF were found to be 11.98 %, 51.66 %, and 37.45 %, respectively.

Conclusion:

The developed RUTF from locally produced is comparable to WHO-approved RUTFs.
Jellyfish Tissue Extract as Inhibition Effect of Jellyfish Olindias sambaquiensis Müller (1861) Sting
Authors: Resgalla Charrid , de Barba Fabiana F. M. , Bazi Carla Camila , Pessatti Marcos Luiz
Published: May 2023

Background:

Olindias sambaquiensis, the most abundant species of jellyfish along the southern coast of Brazil, frequently stings bathers during the summer months, when the occurrence of this species usually reaches a peak.

Objective:

As jellyfish are rich in protein and carbohydrates, and as these biomolecules could provide a natural defense against stings, this study investigates whether any of the components present in the umbrella of jellyfish species occurring in the south of Brazil can inhibit the nematocyst discharge of the tentacles of 0. sambaquiensis.

Methods:

Sting tests were conducted in humans, with live tentacles of O. sambaquiensis, to evaluate different lyophilized extracts of different exumbrellar jellyfish tissues obtained at different times of the year to determine their capacity to reduce pain and alter skin color.

Results:

Of all the species of jellyfish used in this study (O. sambaquiensis, Chiropsalmus quadrumanus and Tamoya haplonema), only the lyophilized extract of the cubozoa C. quadrumanus umbrella showed the capacity to inhibit the pain associated with nematocyst stings.

Conclusion:

Tests on a lyophilized extract obtained from organisms caught in summer and winter suggested that the biomolecule responsible for the biological activity is carbohydrate since this biomolecule would signal the recognition of the species.
Antifouling Nano Filtration Membrane
Authors: Das Sonalee , Unnikrishnan Lakshmi
Published: May 2023

In the recent decade, membrane technology has gained immense interest in
water purification, wastewater treatment, and water desalination. However, the major
drawback which destroys the efficiency of membrane technology is fouling. Membrane
fouling arises due to the non-specific interaction between fouling species and
membrane surface. This major drawback can be overcome by preparation of
antifouling membranes. Although there are various techniques involved in water
filtration i.e. microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and nanofiltration. However, in this book
chapter, we shall emphasize antifouling nanofiltration membranes, recent
developments and future prospects. Further, we shall discuss the various fouling types,
its consequences, mechanisms affecting fouling, challenges, and modification
approaches in the antifouling membrane technology

Published: May 2023

The increase in the amount of plastic waste, especially microplastics and the
environmental pollution caused by it has diverted the research focus of the world into
plastic recycling and degradation. Hence in the last decade, different strategies have
been adopted to combat this problem. Albeit many physiochemical technologies are
there for the degradation of plastics, they give rise to harmful chemicals as by-products.
This has shifted the priority of our research to the biodegradation of plastics by
microbes. In fact, in the last decade, many microorganisms have been discovered with
the ability to degrade many conventional plastics with moderate efficiency but longer
duration. The initial part of this chapter discusses the various kinds of plastics present
and the methods adopted for the degradation of plastics, with special emphasis on the
factors affecting plastic degradation. In the subsequent section, the microbial
degradation of different plastics by bacteria and fungi, along with a mechanism, has
been outlined. Furthermore, this chapter also briefly discusses the role of enzymes in
the degradation of different plastics by microbes and the future of plastic
biodegradation.

MYASTHENIA GRAVIS
Authors: Sari Dewi Permata , Kurniawan Shahdevi Nandar
Published: May 2023

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease of the postsynaptic membrane, especially acetylcholine receptors in the neuromuscular link of skeletal muscle. Patients with myasthenia gravis have a high number globally. The disease occurs due to a disorder that impairs the impulse connection between chemicals traveling from nerve endings and receptors. Clinical symptoms include weakness of the eye muscles (ptosis and diplopia), difficulty swallowing, and difficulty speaking. The diagnosis of myasthenia gravis is based on the patient's complaints obtained in the history, physical and neurological examination, and supporting examinations. The management that can be given is intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy, plasma exchange (PE), corticosteroids given together with IVIg and PE, or acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. These treatments can determine the patient's prognosis. If the patient with myasthenia gravis is left to involve the respiratory muscles, then the patient's prognosis becomes worse. In addition, myasthenic crisis and cholinergic crisis may occur, which is a medical emergency.

Authors: Santos Sara
Published: May 2023

Este trabalho apresenta uma análise exploratória relativa aos efeitos da repetição procedimental imediata de tarefas na produção oral de aprendentes de português como língua estrangeira (PLE), quantificada nas dimensões da complexidade linguística, correção e fluência. Partindo dos resultados de um estudo-piloto, foram constituídas três tarefas com um nível de complexidade diferente (simples, complexa ou mais complexa). Cada tarefa foi desempenhada três vezes, sendo cada desempenho baseado numa de três histórias percecionadas com um nível de complexidade semelhante. Participaram neste estudo 21 aprendentes chineses de português como língua estrangeira. Cada participante foi associado a um nível de complexidade e desempenhou três vezes (de cada vez com uma história diferente) a mesma tarefa. Os resultados demonstraram que a repetição da tarefa teve um efeito positivo em dois níveis de complexidade cognitiva:  na tarefa simples, ao nível da correção, e na tarefa mais complexa, no que respeita à complexidade sintática (subordinação) e à fluência (velocidade do discurso). O impacto da repetição da tarefa foi mais evidente no segundo desempenho. Considera-se que a repetição procedimental da tarefa poderá ser uma opção metodológica válida no Ensino de Línguas Baseado em Tarefas em PLE. Discutem-se as implicações pedagógicas desta investigação.

Ice as a construction material has a number of advantages in Arctics. It is local renewable ecologically safe resource, and it does not require supplying from mainland. However, mechanical characteristics of natural ice is rather low. Potential of known techniques of ice strengthening employing reinforcement by microfibers or macroscopic components is limited. The paper describes strengthening of ice matrix using nanodisperce silica particles. Sixfold reduction of grain size induced by adding 10% wt of SiO2 nanoparticles results in 2.5 times increase in strength limit in uniaxial compression test and more than an order of magnitude increase in fracture energy.
Програма локальної низькочастотної вібраційної розробки суглобів після іммобілізації
Authors: Karpinska O.D. , Khasawneh A.A.M.
Published: May 2023

Актуальність. Контрактура суглобів є найбільш поширеною клінічною проблемою, яка негативно впливає на щоденне життя пацієнтів, знижуючи його якість. Одним з маловивчених реабілітаційних методів відновлення рухливості суглобів з іммобілізаційними контрактурами є низькочастотна малоамплітудна вібрація. Мета роботи: розробити алгоритм проведення реабілітаційної програми низькочастотної вібраційної терапії пацієнтів з іммобілізаційними контрактурами суглобів верхніх та нижніх кінцівок. Матеріали та методи. В основу програми покладені результати лікування пацієнтів з контрактурами суглобів кінцівок та результати експериментальних досліджень формування іммобілізаційних контрактур та подальшого відновлення обсягу рухливості колінного суглоба у лабораторних щурів. Результати. Вібротерапію починають проводити за відсутності гострих больових відчуттів, виражених пошкоджень шкіри, конструктивних елементів фіксації відламків, які можуть бути пошкоджені при вібрації. Курс становить 14–15 сеансів. За рекомендаціями лікаря курс може бути продовжений. На всіх етапах вібраційної розробки контрактури суглобів проводиться контроль стану пацієнта. За результатами проведених експериментальних досліджень на лабораторних тваринах було доведено, що низькочастотний вібраційний вплив на тварин у процесі іммобілізації не дає сформуватися стійкій контрактурі, а відновлення повного обсягу рухів у колінному суглобі відбулося на 2 тижні раніше, ніж у інших щурів. З огляду на це можна пропонувати проведення локальної низькочастотної розробки пацієнтам з неускладненими переломами довгих кісток кінцівок та необширними оперативними втручаннями після первинного натяжіння рани (на 3-тю — 5-ту добу). При вібраційному впливі на пошкоджену кінцівку, коли ще не сформувалися контрактури, головне — не дати зупинитися процесам живлення тканин суглоба, скорочення м’язів і, відповідно, кровозабезпечення. Зважаючи на те, що вібрація діє як знеболювальна процедура, слід передбачити, що пацієнт зможе через короткий проміжок часу після зникнення болю відновити рухливість суглоба в повному обсязі. Висновки. Низькочастотна локальна вібраційна розробка рухів у суглобах та вправи на розтягування з елементами постізометричної релаксації є ефективним методом розробки іммобілізаційних контрактур, у тому числі застарілих. Ці процедури у пацієнтів з термінами іммобілізації до 2 місяців приводять до відновлення розгинання у суглобах. У пацієнтів з більш тривалою іммобілізацію обсяг рухів повністю не відновлюється за стандартний курс у 14 процедур, тому такі хворі потребують додаткових реабілітаційних заходів. Низькочастотна вібрація є тим механізмом, який запускає процеси відновлення та сприяє початку функціонального відновлення колінного суглоба. Можливість проведення вібраційних процедур пацієнтам у процесі іммобілізації потребує подальшого вивчення для розробки умов та алгоритму її проведення.
ANTIMICROBIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY PATTERN OF UROPATHOGENS AT A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL IN CENTRAL INDIA DURING COVID ERA.
Authors: MEHTA ABHISHEK , GUPTA HIRDESH KUMARI , TRIPATHI KIRAN
Published: May 2023

Objective: The purpose of this study was to study the bacteriological profile of UTI in patients attending the tertiary care hospital and to study the antimicrobial sensitivity pattern of uropathogens.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted after obtaining clearance from the institutional ethics committee. Clean-catch mid-stream urine samples were collected from patients symptomatic of UTIs. Samples were cultured aerobically on CLED agar. Isolates having significant growth (>105CFU/ml) were further processed for identification using standard microbiological techniques and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern was evaluated by the Standard Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method as per CLSI 2020 guidelines.
Results: A total of 480 urine samples were processed, yielding 174 isolates. Escherichia coli (42.50%) was predominant, followed by Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter spp., Proteus spp., Providencia spp., Enterococcus spp., Citrobacter spp. and Morganella morganii. Gram-positive isolates exhibited high sensitivity towards vancomycin, linezolid, meropenem, and piperacillin tazobactum. Enteric coliforms exhibited high sensitivity towards colistin, meropenem, aminoglycosides, and piperacillin tazobactum. Non-fermenters exhibited high sensitivity towards colistin, meropenem, cefepime, and amoxycillin clavulanate.
Conclusion: The rampant injudicious irrational overuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multi-drug resistant bugs, which is posing a serious challenge to clinicians in the management of infections. Developing therapeutic protocols guided by susceptibility profiles for tuning antibiotic therapy regimens is an important strategy in tackling this menace.

We highlight the Constructed Wetlands technique built so that, in an ecologically correct and low cost, contamination in waters is reduced. The research carried out consists of an integrative review with a basic purpose and a quali-quantitative approach and the Science Direct database was use. The selection of works include review and research articles published between 2010 and 2021. Works that did not deal with phytoremediation through constructed swamps and research with synthetic effluents were excluded, with only those dealing with surface water and effluents from sewage treatment and water treatment plants. Thus, this review was carried out on a basis of 25 articles. For the application of WC, basins, ponds or shallow lakes are built and substrate and vegetation are applied to them. Projects can and should be done individually, depending on the characteristics of the water and the parameters needed to be achieved. In addition, issues such as available area and topography of the environment should be observed. For this study, observing the analysis of a several parameters and configurations, it was demonstrated that WCs is greater efficiency than conventional water treatments. Thus, a system that combines conventional treatments with WC will have greater efficiency in water treatment, being a promising alternative in relation to improvement at low cost, benefiting Public Health.

We propose a methodology to narrow down the selection of design parameters of phantoms for calibrating ultrasound devices. For doing so, we model the phantoms as composite materials. Through a mathematical homogenization technique, the global properties of the phantom are given in terms of the volume fractions of its components, their geometric shapes and physical properties. We explore these parameters to determine ranges that yield the desirable values of acoustic impedance and attenuation. The procedure is illustrated for a class of sandwich-like phantoms made of layers of agar of different concentrations with complex elastic moduli. In this example, homogenization provides analytical formulae of the global properties that can be used to identify the layers’ thicknesses and concentrations that yield a low impedance and an average attenuation coefficient. These analytical results are compared with a numerical homogenization method, showing excellent agreement.

Abstract: Renewable energy sources are increasingly fulfilling the need for continuous energy supply. However, energy derived from these sources cannot be directly utilized and must be stored in energy storage systems such as Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Compressed air systems, Mechanical systems, Hydraulic systems, among others. In this paper, we will discuss the study and analysis of a Gravity-based energy storage system and its fabrication of a model-based representation. The objective is to improve the overall concept and efficiency of the system. Gravity-based energy storage systems utilize gravity's force to store potential energy. The system functions by elevating a heavy object to a high altitude and subsequently releasing it to generate electricity. The lifting motion stores potential energy, which is then converted to kinetic energy as the weight descends and can be used to produce electricity. The paper will provide additional information about the specific gravity-based energy storage system being analysed, as there are different designs and configurations. Additionally, the paper will compare and contrast this method of energy storage with other methods such as battery storage and compressed air storage, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each. Lastly, the paper will touch on the development and testing of a physical model or simulation of the gravity-based energy storage system. The paper will provide details on the design and testing process, as well as any modifications or improvements made to the system based on the findings

Abstract: Forest Fire Prediction is a key component of forest fire control. This is a major environmental problem that decreases resources such as water that causes global warming and water pollution. Fire Detection is a key element for controlling such incidents. Prediction of forest fire is expected to reduce the impact of forest fire in the future. It plays a major role in resource allocation, mitigation and recovery efforts. Forest fire prediction system is based on predictive modeling that predicts the fire on the basis of weather conditions that user provides as an input to the system. This project presents a description and analysis of forest fire prediction methods based on machine learning and discusses about a comparative study of different models for predicting forest fire such as Decision Tree Classifier, Random Forest Classifier .We use Flask framework to develop web application and imported the NumPy and Panda’s modules to access and perform operations on data sets. We have taken several data sets and train the system in order to predict the fire by taking Temperature, Oxygen, Humidity as parameters to the system.

Abstract: Suspicious Activity is predicting the part or joint locations of someone from a picture or a video. Human suspicious Activity is one amongst the key issues in laptop vision that has been studied for over fifteen years. it's necessary due to the sheer variety of applications which mightlike Activity detection. for instance, human cause estimation is employed in applications as well as video police investigation, animal following and behavior understanding, language detection, advanced human-computer interaction, and marker less motion capturing. Low price depth sensors have limitations like restricted to indoor use, and their low resolution and yelling depth info build it troublesome to estimate human poses from depth pictures. Hence, we have a tendency to attempt to use neural networks to over- return these issues. Suspicious act recognition from police investigation video is an energetic analysis space of image process and laptop vision. Through the visual police investigation, human activities may be monitored in sensitive and public areas like busstations, railway stations, airports, banks, searching malls, faculty and faculties, parking tons, roads, etc. to stop act of terrorism, theft, accidents and ill-gotten parking, vandalism, fighting, chain snatching, crime and different suspicious activities.

Abstract: Presents a platform based on modern blockchain technology that provides maximum transparency and reliability of the system to build a trustful relationship between voters and election authorities. Without using any actual polling places, voting activity can be conducteddigitally over blockchain using the infrastructure provided by the Systemic Intra-Voting Authenticator. With the help of blockchain technology, transactions are recorded in a decentralised digitalledger across a number of computers, making it impossible to change the record in the pastwithout also changing all following blocks and getting network consent. It can be incorporated into voting processes to ensure an impartial election and lessen injustice. The Systemic Intra-Voting Authenticator uses adaptable consensus algorithms to support a scalable blockchain. Consensus algorithms are employed to make sure that each distributed system node is in agreement with the same system state. The voting transaction is made more secure and safe thanks to the Blockchain Security Algorithm used in the system. In order to execute a transaction in the chain, smart contracts offer a safe channel between users and networks. Smart contracts are automated contracts in which the contents of the agreement between buyers and sellers are entered directly into the contract.

This research paper explores the benefits of a smart POS application integrated with cloud technology. The paper discusses the current state of the retail industry, the challenges facing retailers, and the potential benefits of using a smart POS application. The literature review of smart POS systems, the design and development process, and the outcomes and discussion of the application’s implementation are all included in this paper. Despite the potential benefits of digital point-of- sale (POS) systems, small businesses in India have been slow to adopt this technology. This paper aims to identify the factors that affect the adoption of digital POS systems in Indian small businesses. A survey was conducted with 167 small businesses across different industries in India. The results showed that factors such as cost, perceived usefulness, compatibility with existing systems, and complexity of the technology were the primary barriers to adoption. On the other hand, factors such as perceived ease of use, vendor support, and trial ability were identified as the primary drivers of adoption.
Chemical Weapons: VX Nerve Agents

Published: May 2023

Abstract: In light of earlier research completed by Dr. Gerhard Schrader, a scientist working for IG Farben in Germany during the 1930s, VX, also known as "venomous specialist X," is one of the most amazing known about the V nerve specialists. It was first discovered at Porton Down in England during the mid-1950s. They are currently a part of a larger V-series of specialists and go by the label of nerve specialists. They have been used as a substance weapon in numerous documented dangerous assaults. VX is more potent than sarin, another nerve agent with a similar component of activity, in that it causes death with exposure to multiple milligramme levels through inhalation or absorption through skin. Such candour has some experts really upset. A delayed neuromuscular bar, limp loss of motion of the relative variety of body muscles, including the stomach, and asphyxiation are the results of these specialists' serious disruption of the body's motioning between the worried and strong frameworks. VX in particular poses a problem because it is relatively non-unpredictable and does not dissipate and circulate as a fume; rather, it remains directly exposed to the chemical specialist where it was initially dispersed. These physical and biological properties of VX make it a weapon that can be used in a wide range of environments. The Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993 forbids the production and storage of VX above 100 grammes (3.53 oz) each year as a substance weapon and classifies it as a weapon of mass destruction. "Examination, clinical or drug purposes outside a single limited scope office in total amounts not exceeding 10 kg (22 lb) each" is the primary exception.

Abstract: In every part of the world, there is a tremendous growth in digital literacy in the present era. People are trying to access internet-based applications with the use of digital machines. As a result, the internet as become a primary requirement for everyone, and most business transactions often take place conveniently across the network. On the other hand, intruders involved in making intrusions and doing activities such as capturing passwords, compromise on the route, collecting details of credit cards, etc. Many malicious activities are taking place over the network due to this intruding activity on the internet. The intrusion detection system (IDS) helps to find the attacks on the system and the intruders are detected. This paper has expected for an approach to develop IDS by using the principal component analysis (PCA) and the random forest classification algorithm. Where the PCA will help to shape the dataset by reducing the dimensionality of the dataset and the random forest will help in classification. Results obtained states that the proposed approach works more resourcefully in terms of accuracy as compared to other methods like SVM, Naïve Bayes, and Decision Tree.
