The current study presents advanced finite element (FE) models that combine the stress weighted damage model and the crack propagation using explicit dynamic approach of commercial FE software ABAQUS. The applicability of the subroutine for ductile fracture prediction and crack propagation modeling of structural steel is confirmed by comparing the results of fracture tests performed on circumferential notch specimens. FE analysis is performed on 17 circular hollow section (CHS) XK-joint models with various sized partial penetration welds to simulate the fracture process of the joint models, and the obtained results are used to analyze the fracture ultimate bearing capacity of the joint weld. The results indicate that the crack first appears on the inner side of the weld at the crown point of the intersecting line of the tensile web member. The findings also demonstrate that the joint weld does not lose the bearing capacity completely after the initial cracking. Instead, the joint weld's bearing capacity increased with the displacement at the early stages of fracture propagation to reach the maximum value prior to gradual decrease in bearing capacity. A design formula of weld bearing capacity suitable for partial penetration weld has been proposed herein to incorporate the effects of uneven distribution of joint weld stress in the considered XK-joints.

Published: October 2023

The present study was conducted aiming to evaluate the individual and combined impact of temperature and rainfall on mustard yield through detrended production index for five districts of West Bengal viz., Hooghly, Nadia, Burdwan, Mursidabad and South 24 Parganas.  The crop data and weather information were collected from various stations of those five locations. The selected study areas belong to different agroclimatic zones of the state, namely old alluvial zone, new alluvial zone and coastal saline zone. Mustard growing season in these districts starts from middle of October and continues upto middle of January (Rabi season). The detailed information on yield for 18 years (1997 to 2014) was collected from Government of West Bengal and weather data were collected from India Meteorological Department. The entire growing season of mustard was divided into vegetative and reproductive stages for convenience of the study. Although a definite trend among them existed. Moreover, when all the five locations are considered, overall increase in the year-wise yield was significant with R2 value 0.63. Some R square had poor values. Higher values of R2 indicated the significance of technological trend in case of Hooghly (R2 = 0.46), Nadia (R2 = 0.65) and South 24 Parganas (R2 = 0.73) districts where as it was not significant for Burdwan and Mursidabad.  A gradual decrease in yield was observed with temperature increment from 0.50C to 2.00C. The results indicated a reduction of 0.36%, 0.72%, 1.01% and 1.4% in mustard yield in 0.50C, 10 C, 1.50C and 20C increased temperature condition, respectively. Declined yield of mustard will be 908 kg ha-1 in the study location at 20C more temperature condition. Yield reduction is more if higher temperature coincides with the vegetative stage. Time of sowing should be adjusted so that vegetative stage can escape the high temperature period. But all other required management practices should be performed along with the mentioned one. Otherwise several other biotic and abiotic stresses may lower down the yield too. Thus, the results of this work strongly support the idea of engaging DPI to evaluate the impacts of prime weather parameters on crop production and generate yield forecasting models based on that

Data quality always affects the accuracy of model output. Rainfall is the basic data required in hydrological modelling as rainfall to runoff conversion is the core of all such models. Regional modelling studies required high resolution spatio-temporal data and availability of data at appropriate resolution also greatly affect the modelling results. Therefore, efforts have been started to record climatic variables at finer resolution so that they will be useful for block level and gram Panchayat level studies. In this study, an effort has been made to identify the effect of using various resolution climatic data on streamflow simulation in the Kesinga catchment of the Mahanadi river basin. Three types of rainfall sets with spatial resolution of 0.25° × 0.25° and 1° × 1° from IMD and one set of recorded rainfall data of the Special Relief Commissioner (SRC), Govt. of Odisha is used in combination with IMD 1° × 1° gridded temperature to simulate streamflow at the Kesinga gauging station using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) keeping other parameters constant. The three simulations were analyzed using NSE, R2, RMSE, PBIAS, P-factor and R-factor. The results depicted that IMD gridded rainfall data sets predicted similar flows compared to the SRC recorded rainfall data which proves the fairness of IMD gridded data is at par with the recorded rainfall data of SRC, Govt. of Odisha.

Published: October 2023

For the timely planning and management of water resources, evaporation prediction must be estimated properly, especially in regions that are prone to drought and where evaporation directly affects the pest population. Changes in meteorological variables such as temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, rainfall have a great impact on the evaporation process. In order to forecast the variable, ensemble feature selection techniques along with various machine learning techniques were investigated. Meteorological weekly weather data were collected from the ICRISAT location over a period from 1974 to 2021. The reliability of these developed models was based on statistical approaches namely Mean Absolute Error, Root Mean Square Error, Coefficient of Determination, Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiency coefficient, and Willmott’s Index of agreement along with several graphical aids. The results indicate that lasso regression outperforms all other machine learning approaches and the results are validated using current data (2020-2021). For a better understanding of the results, these validated results were also compared with results obtained from the established linear regression method and artificial neural network. It was further found that lasso regression shows an improved performance (R2  = 0.929) over linear regression (R2  = 0.871) and artificial neural network (R2  = 0.889).

Published: October 2023

The variations in climatic conditions depend on seasonal changes throughout the year. Modelling and prediction of climatic conditions can help to determine the impacts of seasonal changes in climate over a specific period of time. Climate change can directly and indirectly affect agricultural, industrial, geographical and technological sectors in our society. Agriculture and the allied sector are seriously affected by changes in climate since it leads to complete destruction of cultivated crops. In this study, in order to model and forecast relative humidity and wind speed for northern, central and southern zones of Kerala, stochastic approach using SARIMA (Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) model was employed. The monthly weather data for the northern zone and the central zone of Kerala was taken from the location of RARS Pilicode and RARS Pattambi for a period of 39 years (1982-2020) whereas for southern zone, data was collected from the location of RARS, Vellayani for a period of 36 years (1985-2020) with the help of data access viewer. The model validation was done using MSE (mean square error), RMSE (root mean square error), MAE (mean absolute error) and RMAPE (relative mean absolute percentage error). The RMAPE values of relative humidity and wind speed in different zones of Kerala was less than 10 per cent which indicated that fitted model is showing accurate performance. The best selected SARIMA model is used in attaining anticipated values of relative humidity and wind speed for the next 5 years.
Analysis of the effect of COVID-19 lockdown on air pollutants using multi-source pollution data and meteorological variables for the state of Uttar Pradesh, India
Authors: SRIVASTAVA HARSH , VERMA SHIKHA , PANT TRILOKI
Published: October 2023

The present study, conducted in the most populous state of India, i.e., Uttar Pradesh, estimates the variation of air quality for the period between 2019 and 2021, taking into account the extraordinary situation of COVID-19. The Government of India imposed the four-phased complete lockdown on 25th March, 2020, which lasted until 31st May, 2020. The study deals with pollution data during these phases with the help of ground station-based pollution data as well as available satellite data. Since ground data is available at limited stations, an Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation technique is used for the generation of phase-wise pollution maps for the whole state during the timeline of 2020. The generated maps show a sharp decline in pollution levels for PM2.5, PM10, NO2, NOx and NO, and an increase in the level of SO2 and Ozone in Phase-I (P1), justifying the effectiveness of the lockdown. Further, for station-wise analysis, a six-phase timeline for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021 has been devised to calculate mean pollution levels as well as pollution level changes. In comparison to 2019 and 2021, the mean and standard deviation in the year 2020 through P1-P4 is the least, emphasising the least spread of pollution level in 2020 due to the lockdown. The analysis is also accompanied by Sentinel-5P TROPOMI satellite data, giving similar observations for NO2. Regarding correlation, data from ground stations and satellites correlate most for NO2 and least for SO2. In addition, empirical relations between pollution data (dependent) and meteorological data (independent) are generated, which reveal that the power to explain the pollution level variability has further increased by using binary lockdown variables along with meteorological data.

The efficacy and safety of carotid stenting under dual antiplatelet therapy with ticagrelor and acetylsalicylic acid
Authors: Yabalak Ahmet
Published: October 2023

Aim: To prevent thrombotic complications in carotid artery stenting (CAS), it is recommended to use acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and clopidogrel for at least one month, followed by single antiplatelet therapy. The number of studies on the use of ticagrelor in CAS is very few. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor in CAS in this study.Methods: The records of the patients who underwent CAS between January 2020 and January 2022 were scanned and the patients who were treated with the ASA and ticagrelor therapy were included in this study. Demographic data of the patients, vascular risk factors, ipsilateral-contralateral stenosis rates, balloon angioplasty application status, residual stenosis rates, periprocedural ischemic and hemorrhagic events, and vascular events developed during three-month follow-up were noted.Results: Thirteen patients were included in the present study. Their mean age was 69.38±7.1 years. The mean carotid stenosis rate was 82.07±10.44%, and contralateral stenosis rate was 65.07±32.98%. Stent thrombosis was not observed in any patient. After the procedure, minor ischemic stroke that did not cause disability developed in one patient and puncture site bleeding that did not require transfusion in one patient. One patient had >50% restenosis at three months.Conclusion: The findings suggest that dual antiplatelet therapy with ticagrelor + ASA appears to be a safe and effective treatment for CAS. Given that clopidogrel resistance cannot be evaluated in many centers, it may be more accurate to prefer ticagrelor, especially in high-risk patients with bilateral stenosis.

Authors: Kalfaoğlu Melike Elif
Published: October 2023

Aim: The aim of this study was to quantitatively analyze volume of the erector spinae muscle in COVID-19 pneumonia using an artificial intelligence-based automated segmentation program, and to investigate the relationship between pulmonary infiltration ratio and volume of the erector spinae muscle.Methods: In this retrospective study, thoracic CT images of patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 on RT-PCR and had COVID-19 pneumonia were analyzed. Based on the percentage of pulmonary involvement, the study cohort was divided into two groups (Group I: less than 25% involvement and Group II: more than %25 involvement). Volume of the erector spinae muscle and severity of lung involvement were quantitatively analyzed using an artificial intelligence-based automated segmentation program. The data of group I and group II were compared.Results: The study population consisted of 74 subjects; 35 in Group I and 39 in Group II. Significant negative correlations were observed between the total pulmonary infiltration ratio and the volume of the erector spinae muscle. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrated that lung density, total lung infiltration volume, serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level, serum ESR level, and total erector spinae muscle volume can serve as valuable indicators for assessing the severity of lung involvement in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.Conclusion: Measurement of erector spinae muscle volume may be useful for assessment of pulmonary infiltration in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia

Authors: Bozkurt Yavuz Hatice
Published: October 2023

Brucella is one of the most common bacterial zoonosis. Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a potentially life-threatening infection. They have similar epidemiologic and clinical presentations. A 40-year-old male patient, engaged in animal husbandry, presented to the emergency unit with complaints of weakness, headache, and fever. Because of his low platelet count, he was referred to the internal medicine clinic. The patient did not have a history of contact with a tick or a CCHF patient. The Brucella Rose Bengal Test (RBT) was performed and the result was positive. After he was referred to the infectious diseases clinic, the CCHF RT-PCR test was found to be positive and the Brucella Wright agglutination test was negative. The patient, who was diagnosed with CCHF, was discharged in good condition. A positive RBT result does not always make a definitive diagnosis of Brucella infection. In areas where CCHF and Brucella are endemic, CCHF should be considered even if there is no history of ticks.

Aim: The release of procalcitonin (PCT) has been suggested to be related to the type of surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We aimed to investigate the associations of PCT with hemodynamic stability, type of cardiac surgery, and complications.Methods: Our study was conducted in 2015 on 76 adult patients divided into three groups according to types of surgery: group I consisted of coronary artery bypass grafting with CPB, group II consisted of cardiac valve replacement, and group III included left ventricle assist device implantation. The patients’ serum PCT values were measured preoperatively before induction, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively, and when a complication occurred.Results: Preoperative PCT levels of the groups were similar. The PCT level in group I was lowest preoperatively, highest in postoperative 24 hours, and showed a decline postoperatively from 24 hours to 48 hours. In group II, the PCT level was increased in postoperative 24 and 48 hours compared to the preoperative level, and there was no difference between postoperative 24- and 48-hour values. In group III, the PCT level was lowest preoperatively and highest in postoperative 24 hours, while the postoperative 48-hour value was lower than the 24-hour value. Intensive care unit (ICU) stay with a higher P1PCTlevel correlated with longer ICU stay. There were no differences between patients with PCT levels ≥ 0.5 and

No semiárido do Nordeste do Brasil, a irregularidade de chuvas e elevada evapotranspiração proporcionam déficit hídrico nas plantas na maior parte dos meses do ano, destacando-se como fator limitante para produção de olerícolas. Assim, a identificação de estratégias capazes de amenizar os efeitos do déficit hídrico nas plantas é essencial para produção sob condições irrigadas. Nesse contexto, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da adubação nitrogenada na morfofisiologia e nos componentes de produção de mini-melancia 'Sugar Baby'. O experimento foi conduzido na Fazenda Experimental ‘Rolando Rivas Castellón’, São Domingos, Paraíba, sob condições de casa de vegetação, utilizando-se o delineamento de blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 4 × 4, correspondendo a quatro níveis de reposição hídrica (50, 75, 100 - controle e 125% da evapotranspiração real da cultura - ETr) e quatro doses de nitrogênio - DN (50, 75, 100 e 125% da dose recomendada), com 3 repetições, totalizando 48 plantas. Foram avaliadas as variáveis de trocas gasosas, os teores de pigmentos fotossintéticos, o conteúdo relativo de água e o extravasamento de eletrólitos, o crescimento e a produção de fitomassa, os componentes de produção e a qualidade pós-colheita dos frutos de mini-melancia. A irrigação deficitária com 50% da evapotranspiração real inibiu as trocas gasosas, a síntese de pigmentos fotossintéticos, o crescimento, e a qualidade dos frutos da mini-melancieira ‘Sugar Baby’, independente da dose de nitrogênio. A lâmina de água com 125% da evapotranspiração real combinada à adubação de 100% da recomendação de nitrogênio proporcionou maiores teores de clorofilas totais, número de folhas e de fitomassa seca das raízes, caule, total, parte aérea e pH dos frutos de mini-melancieira ‘Sugar Baby’.

Published: October 2023

The pharmaceutical industry operates in a highly complex and competitive environment, demanding efficient supply chain management and operational flexibility to ensure service quality and customer satisfaction. This study examines the impact of supply chain integration and operational flexibility on service quality in a pharmaceutical distribution company. Using a mixed-method research design, data were collected from a pharmaceutical distribution company in terms of its supply chain integration practices, operational flexibility measures, and service quality performance. Quantitative data were obtained through surveys administered to employees involved in supply chain operations and customers, while qualitative data were gathered through interviews with key stakeholders. The qualitative analysis shed light on the mechanisms through which supply chain integration and operational flexibility affected service quality. Enhanced coordination and information sharing among supply chain partners were identified as critical aspects of successful integration, leading to improved order processing and timely deliveries. Similarly, operational flexibility enabled the distribution company to promptly respond to fluctuations in demand, optimizing inventory management, and meeting customer expectations.

This study aims to explore the impact of shared leadership on entrepreneurial orientation in Dubai commercial banks, and whether organizational learning ability intercedes the impact of shared leadership on entrepreneurial orientation. Embracing a quantitative research structure, information was gathered by methods for a poll based study of workers in Dubai commercial banks. In view of 330 usable reactions, the outcomes uncovered the critical impact of shared leadership and two of its measurements (uplifting inspiration and scholarly incitement) on entrepreneurial orientation. Two other measurements (admired impact and individualized thought) didn't add to entrepreneurial orientation. Moreover, the outcomes demonstrated that shared leadership significantly affects organizational learning ability, and that organizational learning capacity thus influences entrepreneurial orientation. The discoveries affirm that organizational learning capacity completely intervenes the impact of shared leadership on entrepreneurial orientation. Various suggestions are propelled, the generally significant of which is that banks ought to improve and build up administrators' shared traits by preparing them on the best way to manage workers so as to expand their entrepreneurial orientation. Banks ought to additionally think about improving their learning ability, as this assumes a huge role in upgrading and supporting the impact of shared leadership characteristics on entrepreneurial orientation.

Various naturally occurring neolithic pieces of evidence in the Tutuala caves date back almost 50,000 years and provide strong evidence of an early hunter-gatherer society of small kingdoms with shared clannish marital arrangements and land use. Javanese and some Chinese traders around the 13th century profited from the export and sale of sandalwood, bee honey, honeycombs, and beeswax. Almost 300 years would pass before the arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th and 17th centuries after the sacking and destruction of Muslim held Malacca. It was the Portuguese conquerors who introduced coffee plantations, cane sugar, and cotton plantations. While the Catholic missionaries from the Portuguese colonies of Goa in India helped spread that faith, most of the primary socio-economic and political activities tended to be littoral by design. In spite of attempts to convert the locals to Catholicism, many of the animistic practices of the Timorese were preserved and remain unchanged till 2023. Compared to Goa and other Indian ports, the early medieval towns and ports of Timor were backward and pre-modern in nature. The intention of this paper is to consider the fact that in the absence of democratic roots in Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, this paper nevertheless highlights the main obstacles for democratic growth in Timor in late modernity by using a seven-question democratic framework.

In the current era of business, awareness of product with fascinating advertisement plays a significant role in increasing revenue from operation. The quality of the products is judged by their packaging, celebrities who endorse the specific goods and advertisement expenditure incurred by the organisation. Hence, advertisement expenditures are finding prominent place in the cost sheet of the company to boost the dependent variable ‘Revenue and Net Profit’. This empirical study is carried out to examine the correlation of advertisement expenditure with revenues and net profit. The companies from Fast-Moving-Consumer-Goods (FMCG) sector have been considered as samples which are listed on a National Stock Exchange (NSE). The data required for this research are compiled from Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) website (www.bseindia.com), and annual reports of the companies for the period covered under this research i.e. last 15 years (FY 2006-07 to FY 2020-21). Correlation and regression statistics as assessing tools have been applied to evaluate the relationship among these three variables and found that there is a positive and linear correlation among them.

In any watershed the surface runoff is routed through the main course of the river to estimate the flow hydrograph at the outlet of the basin. One of the most widely used flood routing model in a river course is Muskingum model. The Muskingum model has three parameters, namely; k, x, and m, which are estimated based on the known input and outflow hydrograph of the channel. The accuracy of routing depends on the preciousness in estimating the model parameters. Many research works had been reported on improvising the parameter estimation by employing various advanced computational techniques. In this paper, we introduce a bat optimization algorithm for estimating the three parameters of the Muskingum model. Bat algorithm finds the global optimum for the parameters with random fly within the domain space. The results of the proposed model have been compared with various parameter estimation techniques reported for the Muskingum flood routing model. The comparative evaluation has been done based on four performance indicators, namely; a) Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), b) Mean absolute error (MAE), c) Coefficient of Correlation (R) , and d) Nash- Sutcliffe efficiency (E). From performance indicators it is observed that the proposed parameter estimation using a bat optimization algorithm outperforms in capturing the observed flow compared to other reported techniques. Key Words: Non-linear Muskingum model, Flood routing, parameter estimation, Bat optimization

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are acute life-threatening mucocutaneous reactions characterized by extensive epidermal necrosis and epidermal detachment. The incidence of SJS in Japan is 2.3 cases/100,000 people/per year. The mortality rate of SJS-TEN in Saudi Arabia is 1 per 10 cases (10%). SJS-TEN can be caused by drugs, idiopathic, infection, post-bone marrow transplant, immunization, radiotherapy, and genetics. The pathogenesis of SJS-TEN is suspected as a result of a cytotoxic reaction to keratinocyte cells which causes massive apoptosis. Clinical manifestation begins with prodromal symptoms followed by erythematous macular lesions and atypical target lesions that may confluence, then develop into bullous, oozing erosions with mucosal involvement. Vital sign observation is important to predict prognosis. A diagnostic procedure is necessary if another diagnosis is being considered. Management of SJS-TEN includes cessation of suspected drugs, early treatment such as fluid resuscitation, early nutrition, treatment and evaluation of eyes and skin lesions. Multiorgan involvement can occur in SJS-TEN so multidisciplinary management is needed for optimal therapy. Corticosteroids and cyclosporin A provide beneficial effects on SJS-TEN. SCORTEN is used to evaluate prognosis.

Approximately 15-20% of breast cancers harbor human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression and/or amplification. This subtype of breast cancer is associated with aggressive behavior, high recurrence rates, and worse prognosis. However, with the introduction of HER2-targeted therapy, trastuzumab, the survival rates have greatly improved. In patients with HER2 positive advanced disease, taxane in combination with trastuzumab and pertuzumab is given in the first-line setting. In the second-line setting and beyond, several emerging anti-HER2 therapies are becoming available including trastuzumab deruxtecan, tucatinib, T-DM1, neratinib, lapatinib, pyrotinib, margetuximab.

Introducción: La tromboembolia pulmonar se considera una urgencia cardiovascular que conlleva una elevada morbilidad y mortalidad en pacientes hospitalizados. Su incidencia es elevada, aproximadamente de 100 a 200 casos por cada 100 mil habitantes. La clínica con el que debuta el paciente es generalmente la presencia de disnea. Para su diagnóstico se utilizan escalas de predicción clínica, entre ellas, la más utilizada es la escala de Wells.
Exposición del caso: Paciente adulto mayor, encamado, con control inadecuado de sus enfermedades de base que ingresa por una descompensación de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y que rápidamente evoluciona a un cuadro de insuficiencia respiratoria e inestabilidad hemodinámica sin causa aparente. Basados en su clínica y junto a los exámenes complementarios que se realizó, escala de Wells con un puntaje elevado, se diagnosticó una tromboembolia pulmonar fulminante. A pesar de todas las medidas al alcance que se pudieron utilizar para la estabilización del paciente, no se logró un resultado satisfactorio con el consiguiente fallecimiento del mismo.
Conclusiones: El factor de riesgo primordial es la presencia de trombosis venosa profunda. Un diagnóstico oportuno y tratamiento adecuado, la individualización de cada caso para brindar la terapéutica más adecuada para salvaguardar la vida del paciente.
