Pituitary Dıseases and Care in Pregnancy
Authors: Bayrakçı Elif , Elkoca Ayse
Published: October 2024

The pituitary gland causes very serious effects on the body thanks to the hormones it secretes. The main pituitary diseases are prolactinoma, acromegaly, lymphocytic hypophysitis, pituitary insufficiency (hypopituitarism), Cushing's syndrome and Sheehan's syndrome. Since pregnancy is rare in these diseases, the diagnosis is usually made in the pre-pregnancy period. A definitive diagnosis is made by means of disease-specific diagnostic tests accompanied by symptoms and findings seen in the pre-pregnancy period. Anatomical and physiological changes in the pituitary gland during pregnancy cause difficulties in the diagnosis of pituitary diseases. For this reason, the care to be given in pituitary diseases should be carried out effectively from the pre-pregnancy period. These diseases cause serious complications for both mother and foetus and require a multidisciplinary care approach. Midwives and other health professionals, who have a major role in the multidisciplinary team providing care, should be familiar with the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment methods of pituitary diseases and an individualised care management specific to the disease should be carried out.

Nanotechnology in medicine represents a revolution offering significant advancements in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases. This technology enables the development of devices and materials at the nanometer scale, allowing precise interactions with biological systems at the molecular and cellular levels. Among various nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) stand out due to their unique physical, chemical and mechanical properties. Due to their high strength, electrical and thermal conductivity and large surface area, CNTs have a wide range of applications. In healthcare they are explored for drug delivery and imaging diagnostics. CNTs can be functionalized to target drugs directly to diseased cells, minimizing side effects and enhancing treatment efficacy, additionally can be used in biosensors for early disease detection and in tissue engineering to cellular regeneration. The present study evaluated the effects of OCNT-TEPA, a multi-walled carbon nanotube functionalized, in murine hepatocytes AML-12. Cells were exposed to different concentrations of the sample for 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours. Cellular metabolism tests, cellular morphology by optical microscopy, synthesis of reactive oxygen species, changes in membrane potential and IL-6 cytokine secretion were performed. The results show that OCNT-TEPA altered the homeostasis of hepatocytes, as cellular metabolism decreased, cellular morphology was altered, the membrane experienced changes in its electrical potential, oxidative stress increased and inflammatory signaling molecules were synthesized. This alteration is dose-dependent, which may be harmful to hepatocytes at high concentrations but could be applied to the body at lower concentrations without causing harm.

Authors:   USA, Nayak Saugat
Published: October 2024

In this article, its author takes an attempt at investigating the use of behavioral analytics to complement credit risk management in the world of finance. Current mainstream credit risk models very much depend on conventional methods that incorporate historical financial information like credit scores and income while ignoring client behavioral contemporaneous patterns essential for modeling their risk levels. By this, the transactional patterns; payment behaviour and digital activities included besides the traditional financial parameters allows the financial institution to make superior models that gives better results on credit worthiness and risk identification earlier. It is crucial for both better risk assessment and for embracing more inclusion within lending networks and financial creativity. Analyzing the informational component of behavioral data as well as its applicability in credit risk modeling and considering the difficulties of implementing it in practice, the article provides an outline of the approaches to telemetry integration.

Traditional construction practices have always faced issues such as cost overruns, construction delays, and construction waste. Oman is no exception to these challenges because it primarily relies on traditional construction methods. To overcome these challenges and increase project efficiency, adopting Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) in Oman is crucial. However, the successful implementation of MMC is hindered by various barriers, which need to be addressed. This research project aims to identify the barriers that impede the implementation of MMC in Oman. Data was collected through surveys and indepth interviews with MMC stakeholders in Oman. The survey questionnaire presented 18 potential barriers, and respondents were encouraged to distribute the survey to their contactors who are familiar with MMC. About 400 surveys were distributed to a selected sample of civil engineers, architects, academic institutions, clients, consultants, contractors, and other relevant professionals. Additionally, four MMC experts in Oman were interviewed for their insights. The findings reveal that the most significant barriers to MMC implementation in Oman are high initial costs, supply chain disruptions, an emerging MMC market, inadequate government support, and transportation challenges. These barriers hinder the adoption of MMC and impede the realization of its potential benefits.

Authors: Dr CH N Santhosh Kumar  , Lakshmi Deepthi Nukala  , P Aswani  , Y Sujana
Published: October 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing our work, lifestyles, and modes of communication. The integration of AI-driven technologies brings about automation of tedious tasks, enhances decision-making capabilities, and boosts overall productivity. Nonetheless, the adoption of AI carries profound implications for both the labor market and skill prerequisites. On one hand, the advent of AI is poised to usher in new job opportunities, particularly in domains such as machine learning, data science, and AI engineering. Conversely, AI's implementation is expected to automate numerous routine and manual job functions, resulting in the displacement of workers in sectors like manufacturing, transportation, and customer service. This transition underscores the necessity for workers to cultivate fresh skill sets and competencies. Skills such as data analysis, critical thinking, and advanced problem-solving will ascend in importance, whereas conventional proficiencies like manual dexterity and routine problem-solving will diminish in relevance. Furthermore, the effects of AI on employment prospects and skill requisites will vary across different industries and geographical regions. While certain sectors may undergo substantial job displacement, others may witness a surge in demand for adept personnel. Thus, policymakers and industry leaders must adopt a proactive stance toward reskilling and upskilling initiatives to ensure workforce competitiveness. Ultimately, the integration of AI tools is poised to catalyze transformative shifts in the labor market and skill landscape. While it presents novel opportunities and enhances productivity, it simultaneously necessitates adaptive measures from workers to thrive in an evolving job market.
A Supervised Ml Algorithm for Detecting and Predicting Fraud Credit Card Transactions
Authors: S. Bhuvaneswar  , B. Avyay  , K. Tejith  , Ms. S Kavitha
Published: October 2024

A Credit card fraud presents an escalating threat in today's digital economy, leading to significant financial losses for consumers, businesses, and financial institutions. Traditional detection methods are increasingly inadequate due to the rise in online transactions and the evolving complexity of fraudulent activities. This research aims to create a reliable supervised machine learning model designed to detect and predict fraudulent credit card transactions in real-time. Our approach leverages advanced algorithms and extensive datasets to enhance transaction security, thereby mitigating financial risks. Current systems, like FICO's Fraud Detection System (FDS), utilize a range of supervised learning techniques, including Decision Trees, Random Forests, and Neural Networks. However, they face limitations, including data quality issues, high false positive rates, and the need for continuous retraining to adapt to evolving fraud patterns. To address these challenges, we propose an innovative anomaly detection method based on the Isolation Forest algorithm. Unlike traditional methods that rely on distance and density measures, Isolation Forests isolate anomalies by randomly selecting features and split values, making it more efficient in identifying fraudulent transactions, especially in imbalanced datasets. The proposed system boasts low linear time complexity and minimal memory requirements, enabling the construction of high-performing models even with large datasets. The research demonstrates that the Isolation Forest approach significantly outperforms traditional models in detecting credit card fraud, offering a promising solution for enhancing security in the financial ecosystem.

Evaluating the Availability and Accessibility of Agricultural Extension Services Under the Single Spine System in Uganda. A Case of Smallholder Crop Farmers in Buhweju District
Authors: Nimushaba Patience , Waiswa Jeremy
Published: October 2024

Purpose: This study evaluated the availability and accessibility of agricultural extension services under the Single Spine System, with a specific focus on smallholder crop farmers in Buhweju District.
Methodology: The study adopted a mixed-methods approach, employing both quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques. Structured questionnaires were administered to a sample of 393 smallholder crop farmers and key informant interviews with district agricultural officers and extension workers provided in-depth insights into the delivery of services.
Findings: The results indicate that education was positively and significantly (P<0.01) associated with knowledge about the availability of extension services. Farmers with more years of schooling had a greater likelihood of being aware of extension providers. Similarly, larger households with more labor resources (median size = 4) had better access to extension services. Moreover, household land size (median = 3 acres) and income (median = UGX 250,000) were significantly correlated with both availability and access to extension services, with wealthier farmers seeking more information to improve agricultural productivity. The study also revealed that proximity to extension service centers was a critical factor; households closer to sub-county offices (median distance = 1.5 km) had higher knowledge of available services.  Access to credit and group membership were also major determinants of both awareness and access to extension services. Challenges were also identified, including limited outreach by extension officers, inadequate allowances, and insufficient logistical support for field officers.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study recommends increased sensitization efforts using local leaders, social media, and community networks, alongside greater support for sub-county agricultural officers to ensure effective service delivery.
Microwave and millimeter-wave components aiming for an easy fabrication
Authors:   , Sami Abdul
Published: October 2024

This Thesis is intended to develop various novel design techniques to design low-pass and band-pass waveguide filters based on stepped-impedance commensurate lines for various satellite applications. The main objectives of the thesis are to design waveguide filters which are more robust against fabrication errors, with high electrical performance, reduced size and capable of high-power operations. Keeping in mind the objectives of the thesis, the inherent low-pass response of the commensurate line waveguide sections is utilized to design a low-pass filter with meandered topology employing E-plane mitered bends with constant widths to achieve a very compact design for Ku-band but with large mechanical gaps to make the filter design capable for high power operations. The high-power handling capabilities are demonstrated with SPARK3D at various frequencies between 10.7 GHz to 11.7 GHz in the passband in the pass-band. The estimated minimum input threshold power is 20 kW at the highest frequency of the passband. Also, the critical areas inside the filter structures are also identified which are considered to be more prone to multipactor discharge to identify the key design parameters for enhancing the power handling capabilities.
Fine-Root Responses of Two Maple and Two Magnolia Species to Waterlogging
Authors: Patrick Kelsey , Lo Marvin , Rigsby Chad M. , Rosenfeld Carla E. , McCormack M. Luke
Published: October 2024

Background

Urban trees provide many environmental benefits but often face challenging growing conditions like waterlogged soils. How tree root systems respond to waterlogging impacts tree performance and survival, yet this has received little attention. Our goal was to identify how the roots of temperate urban tree species respond and recover to waterlogging.

Methods

We monitored the responses and recovery of 2 contrasting maple and magnolia species pairs that differ in their reported waterlogging tolerance to a 2-week waterlogging period, measuring belowground stress indicators, fine-root mortality, and aboveground responses including leaf-level photosynthesis, leaf loss, and stem growth.

Results

Though silver maple experienced a temporary reduction in photosynthetic activity during waterlogging, it exhibited no fine-root mortality, and photosynthetic activity recovered after a 10-day recovery period. In contrast, sugar maple showed high fine-root mortality, decreased photosynthetic activity, and significant leaf loss, with no recovery in fine-root growth or photosynthetic activity after the recovery period. Both magnolia species showed high fine-root mortality and reduced photosynthesis during the waterlogging period. However, after the 10-day recovery period, both magnolias also showed new fine-root growth and increased photosynthetic activity.

Conclusion

The species studied here showed a wide range of fine-root response and recovery strategies to waterlogging, and this was mirrored in their aboveground performance. Future work clarifying the mechanisms driving these different strategies, such as silver maple’s ability to maintain fine roots and mitigate internal tissue damage, will help us to further understand species differences in waterlogging tolerance and better inform urban tree selection for repeatedly flooded soils.

This study aims at defining the role of academic libraries in supporting the  sustainable development goals in the global quest as the United Nations calls for.  Academic libraries play important roles in supporting SDGs – particularly Quality  Education (Goal 4), Gender Equality (Goal 5), Reducing Inequalities (Goal 10),  and Strengthening the Means of Implementation, Partnerships (Goal 17). To this  end, this paper seeks to discuss how academic libraries in India can function as  a service provider in the achievement of these goals through assimilating their  services, collections, and policies into the IDAG. The research explores how  these libraries support educational justice, enable the disenfranchised, establish  gender parity, and build cooperation through openness and the use of digital tools.  However, critical roles notwithstanding, challenges that academic libraries face in  India include limited funding sources, digital resource constraints, professional  development opportunities, and low levels of networking both nationally and  internationally. Additionally, a general lack of understanding of what the libraries  can and should do with reference to the promotion of the SDGs limits potential.  Besides, the paper also discusses the current research findings regarding the  contributions of Indian academic libraries towards sustainable development  and adds the strategies for future enhancement for achieving the sustainable  development goals by 2030.
CONSTITUTION OF REALITY IN LATE WITTGENSTEIN
Authors: Tomashpolskaia Natalia
Published: October 2024

This article discusses the issue of the constitution of reality and the role of language in it in the late Wittgenstein. Here the author examines the key role of grammar in the connection of language with reality and distinguishes ‘levels’ of constitution: (1) the ontological relation in the triad language-thought-reality, (2) intersubjective ‘conventional’ level, (3) a level beyond any conventions (ethics or mystical) within the realm of one reality. I argue that for Wittgenstein language was a vehicle of thought, however, he admitted processes of thinking that are inexpressible with words, for their expression we may other languages: image-language, sound-language, and gesture-language. Language reflects a human way of thinking, if we had another way of thinking we would have another grammar and other concepts. The essential nature of the human mind is concept formation. However, the concept of mind itself is a hypothesis. The harmony between thought and reality is found in the grammar of language. But an agreement of thought and reality is not a simple representation, along with the method of projection, Wittgenstein emphasizes the method of application. And the only key to the relationship between language and reality is grammar.
DETERMINING THE INDETERMINATE
Authors: McQuibban Alexander
Published: October 2024

Reconciling the permanence of existence with the existence of change is a long-standing metaphysical puzzle. Some, following Aristotle, resolve this tension by positing ‘prime matter’, a bedrock which grounds all change. Saint Thomas Aquinas argued prime matter had to be purely potential, thus completely indeterminate and extensionless. This article charitably reconstructs and critically assesses Aquinas’ view, arguing it is far too restrictive. Prime matter need only be maximally potential and determinable, allowing it to take on certain determinate properties. I argue extension is an obvious candidate property and propose five theories positing extended prime matter: (1) a subtle revision of Aquinas' own view, (2) a hylomorphic approach which attributes to prime matter an ‘elastic’ extension, (3) a minimally/infinitesimally extended prime matter inspired by ancient atomism and late-renaissance/early-modern corpuscularianism, (4) a maximally/infinitely extended prime matter influenced by Advaita Vedanta, and (5) a pluralist approach reminiscent of Aristotle's elements. Crucially, by allowing prime matter a determinate characteristic, each proposal demystifies Thomistic prime matter which one could otherwise charge with being so characterless as to slip into the ‘nothingness’ which terrified the Eleatics and motivated the introduction of prime matter in the first place.
Latin Verse of Martin Luther
Authors: Springer Carl P. E.
Published: October 2024

Martin Luther wrote a number of Latin poems, mostly using traditional classical metres, over the course of his career. He used them to praise friends, insult adversaries and express his faith in times of distress.Up until now, Luther’s Neo-Latin poetry has largely fallen through the disciplinary cracks. Literary scholars have traditionally paid more attention to the Latin verse of more celebrated humanist poets such as Petrarch. Students of the Reformation have concentrated far more often on Luther’s prose and his famous German hymns than on his Latin poems. Even scholars who are familiar with Luther’s Neo-Latin poetry have dismissed it as of only marginal significance.

As this book demonstrates, Luther’s Latin verses are valuable cultural products that amply reward scholarly reconsideration. Springer’s volume is the first to provide English translations of all of them. It also includes extensive introductions and line-by-line annotations for each of the poems, situating them within their literary traditions and contemporary contexts. As such, it enables readers to see that far from being a reformer who more or less repudiated the Classics, or someone who merely dabbled in them, Luther was a confident, even bold, Latin poet, who was serious about working out his own distinctive synthesis between Christianity and the language and literature of the ancient Romans.
Russian Culture under Putin
Authors: Borenstein Eliot
Published: October 2024

This timely text charts the metamorphosis of Russian media and culture in the 21st century. It considers how, when Vladimir Putin came to power in 2000, Russia's media and culture industry had enjoyed nearly a decade of almost unrestricted freedom and yet, by the time he launched his illegal invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russia's independent media was crushed, while the few viable opposition figures were either imprisoned, exiled, or dead under mysterious circumstances.

Eliot Borenstein looks at the manufactured cult of Putin, the competing models of Russianness put forth in the media, the obsession with nostalgia and the limits on imagining the future, the rise of aggressive patriotism and the myth of ancient Russian 'traditional' values, the significance of the fight against ‘gay propaganda’, and the absurdist strategies used by the opposition in the face of increasing restrictions on free speech. Though the book's title invokes Putin,Russian Culture under Putindoes not cast the Russian leader as an all-knowing genius pursuing a master plan. The culture of the past twenty years, both official and independent, has been largely improvisational. 21st-century Russia, as Borenstein demonstrates so masterfully, has not been frog-marched into unfreedom, but has in fact lurched back and forth on a dimly-lit path.
Body Politics in Contemporary Irish Women’s Fiction
Authors: Scheible Ellen
Published: October 2024

Exploring twentieth- and twenty-first century texts that wrestle with the Irish domestic interior as a sexualized and commodified space, this book provides readings of the power and authority of the feminized body in Ireland.

Scheible dissects the ways that ‘the woman-as-symbol’ remains consistent in Irish literary representations of national experience in Irish fiction and shows how this problematizes the role of women in Ireland by underscoring the oppression of sexuality and gender that characterized Irish culture during the twentieth century.

Examining works by Elizabeth Bowen, Pamela Hinkson, Emma Donoghue, Tana French, Sally Rooney and James Joyce, this book demonstrates that the definition of Irish nationhood in our contemporary experience of capitalism and biopolitics is dependent on the intertwining and paradoxical tropes of a traditional, yet equally sexual, feminine identity which has been quelled by violence and reproduction.
Sovereignty in the 21st Century
Authors: Raschke Carl
Published: October 2024

When God is “dead” and governments themselves are increasingly subject to the power of global corporations, massive movements of peoples, transnational political upheavals, and ecological disasters, what does sovereignty mean for the 21st century?Sovereignty in the 21st Centuryis Carl Raschke’s deep theoretical dive into the meaning of sovereignty in both its historical and contemporary settings, showing how the idea can be expanded beyond politics and offer emancipatory strategies for previously marginalized peoples.

Picking up Carl Schmitt’s idea of sovereignty’s ‘divine’ associations making it an implicitly theological concern, Raschke explains how political and religious thought have always been intertwined. These intertwined strands find their relevance today in debates around class, race and domination, making the question of sovereignty not just a political but a social and economic one. Bringing to light the ways in which great transnational conflicts today are not between authoritarianism and democracy but between neoliberalism and populism, this book brings us closer to a profound understanding of what we truly mean by democracy, or ‘popular’ sovereignty in the 21st-century.
Pornographers, Hacks, and Blackmailers in Interwar France
Authors: Cocks H. G.
Published: October 2024

After the 1881 declaration of press freedom, France enjoyed a golden age of print, arguably up until the 1950s.This book shines a much-needed light on one of the key elements of France’s new literary age: that being the production of ‘pornography’ of all kinds.

H.G. Cocks reveals how publishers and writers, both mainstream and clandestine, tried to cash in on the vogue for erotic literature which surfaced at the time. Though the vast majority of what was produced was no more than risqué or saucy, Cocks shows that this was seen as far more dangerous than frank sexual imagery, as it was mostly legal and within the range of the ordinary reader.

Pornographers, Hacks, and Blackmailers in Interwar Francereflects on how, as a result of this gold rush for what one writer called the ‘faux obscene’, a great deal of writing, journalism, and quite a few literary and even political careers were supported by the writing of ‘pornography’. For some, this new wave of indecent literature seemed to be sapping the morale of the Republic, while for others it was simply part of the creative literary and journalistic ferment of the period. In that sense, Cocks convincingly argues, the pornographic became part of the curious mixture of cultural energy and malaise that enveloped the struggling French democracy.
