Comparative Analysis of Traditional and Modern Imaging Techniques in Neurological Disorders
Authors: - Arka Hansini Krish
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This research paper sheds an in-depth comparison between traditional and contemporary imaging techniques in the diagnosis and management of neurological disorders. It unravels the important role that imaging technologies, such as Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, together with advanced methodologies that include Positron Emission Tomography, Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Diffusion Tensor Imaging, and Magnetoencephalography, play in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficiency. While classical imaging gives the fundamental structural information that forms the basis for acute clinical practice, these techniques are burdened by risks associated with ionising radiation and lesser detail on soft tissue visualisation. By contrast, modern methods provide critical insights into brain functions and metabolic states fleetingly required for the management of a wide array of complicated neurological diseases. The current paper has evaluated these technologies for their diagnostic performance and their practical use in clinical applications, including the integration of hybrid imaging approaches such as PET/CT and PET/MRI. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that integrating imaging strategies can enhance diagnostic precision and therapeutic outcomes in neurological care and eventually open up an avenue towards future improvement. This paper contributes to the improvement of understanding about the potential synergism that traditional and modern imaging modalities can make in neurology through such analysis.

The Effects of Fluctuations in Dopamine Levels on Creative Thinking and Expression in Visual Art
Authors: - Divya Krishnan
Published: September 2024

This research qualitatively analyzes the effects of abnormalities in dopaminergic functioning on visual art through the evaluation of Parkinson’s Disease, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In addition, the research discusses the examples of famous visual artists who have suffered from these disorders and draws potential connections between changes in art style and productivity, and changes in dopamine. Dopamine can impact creative thinking and expression in visual art through its influence on factors such as perception, imagery, divergent thinking, novelty-seeking, and reward-seeking behaviors. Overall trends show that mental states that induce an increase in dopaminergic activity can serve as a conducive condition for improved artistic output, through an increase in novelty seeking, energy, divergent thinking, and unique demonstrations of elements and principles of art.

Published: September 2024

Portable applications of the refrigeration system have become a major trend recently. Such applications would include the portable medicine storage kits. These kits are useful for the proper storage of certain temperature-sensitive medicines and vaccines that require low temperatures if they are to be stored and transported to far-flung remote areas. This trend can only be achieved through the miniaturization of the refrigeration system. The main objective of this study is to design, fabricate, and evaluate the performance characteristics of the mini-channel copper block evaporator. Three 10.6 cm x 6.0 cm copper block evaporator with channel hydraulic diameters of 3.0 mm, 2.5 mm, and 2.0 mm were designed, fabricated, tested, and evaluated. All of the units were connected in a vapor compression refrigeration cycle, and utilized refrigerant R134a as its cooling medium. Forced draft air was also introduced to the evaporators through a wind tunnel or ducting system, to establish heat transfer from the ambient air to the refrigerant R134a. Thirty (30) trials in a thirty (30) seconds interval were conducted per mini channel evaporator. The flow rate of the refrigerant R134a was set to pre-determined values. The data showed that the 3.0 mm copper block evaporator produced the lowest temperature, as well as the lowest pressure drop, since it has the largest channel cross sectional area resulting to a lower thermal conductivity of the copper block evaporator and an increase of the residency time of the refrigerant flowing through the mini channel copper block evaporator.

Authors: - Md. Imran Wahab, IPS
Published: September 2024

Women's correctional facilities are integral to the criminal justice system, creating supportive environments that cater to the unique circumstances of female offenders. These specialized institutions prioritize safety and security, minimizing the risks of violence and exploitation commonly found in mixed-gender or male-dominated facilities. The presence of a predominantly female staff fosters a compassionate atmosphere, enhancing the effectiveness of rehabilitation efforts.

Rehabilitation programs in women's prisons are specifically designed to address trauma, domestic abuse, and the challenges of motherhood. They offer vital services such as counselling, psychological support, and educational opportunities tailored to the realities of female inmates. This comprehensive approach not only facilitates successful reintegration into society but also underscores the potential for transformative change among incarcerated women. However, many still face significant challenges, including the struggle for basic rights and access to hygiene and clean water, indicating a pressing need for systemic reform.

Authors: - Alekhya Gandra
Published: September 2024

Healthcare fraud involves submitting false claims or misrepresenting facts to obtain improper payments. Fraud in health insurance claims causes billions of dollars in annual losses. Advanced machine learning algorithms can efficiently extract critical features from data, recognize common patterns, and generate highly accurate predictions when adequately configured and trained. However, detecting fraud in healthcare is challenging as it sometimes involves coordinated actions among affiliated providers, physicians, and beneficiaries to submit fraudulent claims. This paper uses graph analytics and machine learning techniques to detect fraudulent claims accurately. The approach represents the data in its graphical form, computes network features, and uses this enriched information to inform the machine learning algorithm. This research aims to comprehensively analyze how integrating graph-based and machine-learning methods can optimize fraud detection in the health insurance claims process by offering more precise and scalable solutions while acknowledging the need for ongoing refinement.
Contextualizing Kamla Patel's Torn from the Roots: A Historical Examination of Personal Narrative
Authors: - Mitali Mishra
Published: September 2024

This paper analyses Kamla Patel’s memoir Torn from the Roots by placing it in the context of the history of Partition violence. It looks at the ideological underpinning of the Recovery Operation that did not allow women to choose if they wanted to be ‘recovered’ and relocated once again. The memoir is seen to reflect many of the contentious debates surrounding women’s agency. Kamla Patel’s intervention concerning separating mothers from their children is seen as particularly significant. Her memoir written 27 years after her experiences as the government representative in Lahore helping to locate and recover abducted women acts as a powerful text that seeks to expand the archive for feminist historiography of India’s partition.

Published: September 2024

Objective: To determine the association between the duration of Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and the return of spontaneous circulation in cardiac arrest patients.Study Design: A retrospective quasi-experimental study.Place and Duration of Study:  It was carried out over a 6-month period on cardiac arrest patients presenting to the Emergency Department from June till December 2020 at Ziauddin University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan.Methods: A sample of 178 patients was selected through consecutive sampling.  The patients were divided into two groups each consisting of 89 participants.  The conventional group received cardio-pulmonary resuscitation for 20 minutes, while the interventional group had it for more than 20 minutes.Results: The mean age was 59.49 years (SD ± 17.2), predominantly males. In the conventional group, 64 patients (36%) experienced recovery with a Return of Spontaneous Circulation, while in the interventional group, this was achieved in 37 patients (20.8%). Overall, among the 176 patients who received Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, 56.7% (n = 101) achieved a Return of Spontaneous Circulation. Among these 101 patients with a Return of Spontaneous Circulation, the documented average duration of their Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation was approximately 12.17 ± 4.77 minutes, compared to 34.47 ± 7.22 minutes for patients who did not achieve a Return of Spontaneous Circulation (P < 0.0001). Similarly, the mean time of Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation initiation was statistically significantly different between the two groups (P < 0.001) using the Pearson chi-Square test.Conclusion: Increasing the duration of Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation does not benefit patients in terms of resuscitation, recovery, or survival. Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation lasting less than 20 minutes had a higher likelihood of achieving spontaneous circulation recovery compared to that lasting for more than 20 minutes. Initiation of Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation as early as possible had better chances of recovery and survival especially when initiated immediately after cardiac arrest.

The construction project of SDN Karangketug 3 in Pasuruan City includes several high-cost components that could still be optimized through efficiency improvements. In the structural work, the researcher attempted to modify the structural design by exploring alternative design options without compromising the quality or strength of the structure, using Value Engineering techniques. The research process involved several stages: Observation, Design and Cost Identification, Structural Analysis, Cost Estimation, and Analysis Results. Cost savings were achieved by reducing the dimensions of the beam and column cross-sections, while ensuring structural strength was maintained using the SAP2000 software program, and recalculating the optimal budget. SAP2000 analysis showed that all alternative frames passed the stress/capacity check. The optimal budget after value engineering for the beam and column structure amounted to a 34.23% reduction, from the initial cost of Rp. 116,284,340.70 to Rp. 76,481,631.65, representing a saving of Rp. 39,802,709.05.

Head teachers should mobilize appropriate human, physical and material resources for the transformation of regular schools into inclusive schools. Inclusion provides dignity and personal empowerment. This study investigated Head Teachers’ Transactional Leadership Style and its Influence on the Implementation of Inclusive Education in Public Primary Schools in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya. The study was anchored on Lewin’s leadership theory. The study adopted Concurrent triangulation design within the mixed method approach. The target population for the study comprised 4909 teachers in public primary schools and 464 senior teachers totaling up to 5373. The sample size comprised 491 teachers stratified sampled, 10 senior teachers systematically randomly sampled and a sample size of 501 was used. Data collection instruments were questionnaires and interview schedules. Content, construct and face validity was ensured by expert judgment. Reliability was ensured by Cronbach Alpha method and reliability coefficients were all above 0.7. Quantitative data was analyzed by descriptive statistics and inferential statistics such as Spearman Rank correlation and liner regression while Qualitative data was analyzed thematically. The findings revealed that there is a statistically significant positive though weak correlation between the head teachers’ transactional leadership style and implementation of inclusive education (n=368; rho =.146; p =.005). The findings of this study would help the Ministry of Education in assessing policies regarding implementation of inclusive education and hence make necessary adjustments that can ensure full implementation. The Kenya Education Management Institute should sensitize head teachers on better leadership practices for primary schools that can enhance the implementation of inclusive education.

The basal part of Ushchemenskii section from the Zimnii coast of the White Sea represents marine clayey sediments of the Boreal transgression of Mikulinian (Late Pleistocene) age. For the first time, benthic foraminifers, ostracods and aquatic palynomorphs are reported for this area. Data on microfauna and aquatic palynomorphs were used for paleoecological analysis to reconstruct a coastal marine basin with sea-ice cover, water depths of > 50 m, high sedimentation rates and possible inflow of warm water masses from the North Atlantic.

Lake Krasnoe sediment record has very high potential for detailed Late glacial and Holocene vegetation reconstruction due to significant thickness (23.8 m) and high sedimentation rate. The transition period from Late glacial to Post glacial environmental conditions is very important for the past environmental dynamic understanding and future climatic and vegetation changes forecasting. We present first results of high-resolution spore-pollen analysis of Late glacial and Early Holocene Lake Krasnoe sediments. General patterns of spore-pollen assemblages changes correlate well with previously obtained data from Lake Krasnoe area. Nevertheless, there are also significant differences mostly detected for the Younger Dryas.
