El Liderazgo y la inclusión de la mujer en las Fuerzas Militares de Colombia: una aproximación a los roles y beneficios de la inclusión de género en el Ejército Nacional
Authors: Luna Rodríguez Rafael
Published: December 2022

El rol de la mujer en las Fuerzas Militares ha sido un tema cuestionado por la tradición castrense a lo largo de la historia, sin embargo, la lucha por la igualdad de género y la defensa de los derechos de las mujeres ha abierto la oportunidad para que ellas desde sus habilidades fortalezcan los procesos estratégicos y tácticos que integra la institución. La incorporación de las mujeres en el Ejército, aparte de ser un hecho clave en búsqueda de la equidad ante las exigencias sociales, se ha dado de manera paulatina y con ciertas limitaciones debido a que se ha establecido una visión sobre las mujeres descritas como seres emocionales inhabilitadas para ejerces maniobras operativas dentro del contexto de la guerra y el conflicto. Esta concepción binaria de la representación de lo que significa masculino o femenino, refuerza construcciones patriarcales que ejercen violencia a nivel estructural, sobre todo en el lugar de interacción de los y las cadetes. En este sentido, el presente artículo pretende, a partir del nexo conceptual de género-militar, ahondar en la evolución del rol de la mujer en las FFMM. Con el fin de visibilizar a través de aspectos teóricos y prácticos, la inclusión de género dentro de la Fuerza y la reducción de las brechas de desigualdad en los procesos de incorporación y actividades que desempeña la mujer dentro de las filas castrenses.

Published: December 2022

Purpose: The travel industry significantly supports India's economic development. Furthermore, in a country as different in scenes and culture as ours, the main normal travel and the travel industry is as essential as it seems today. The Indian vacation and lodging sectors have emerged as two main development engines in India's administrative regions. Given the country's diverse biological makeup, varied landscapes, and several locations of consistently high quality, India's travel business has significant potential. Like many other countries, India relies heavily on the travel industry for foreign trade. The ABCD structure is a powerful method of industry analysis for comprehending both the benefits and drawbacks of the jobs in the travel industry and the factors that support and hinder the successful operation of the given firm.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This post focuses on the advantages, benefits, constraints, and disadvantages of the Indian tourism industry. Details about the Indian Pharmaceutical Sector are included in the material for the equivalent that is distributed. In addition to the ABCD Framework, other tools for industry analysis, like the PESTLE analysis, are used in the review based on material gathered from websites, diaries, articles, and online journals. Focused on industry-related items, took into account, evaluated, and compared various aspects of the lodging business
Findings/Result: The advantages of the travel industry to the economy and local people of the nation have been numerous and changed. The business appreciates many benefits, the primary among them being the inflow of FDI, alongside progress in the, generally speaking, country's G.D.P., which has added to its development. The fundamental hindrance of the business is its unfavourable effect on the biology and over-commercialization of the business.

Authors: Khurshid Akif , Parveen Zahida , Jan Muddasir Mehmood , Assad Mohammad
Published: December 2022

Introduction

The current study is designed to assess the various risk factors, prevalence, and clinical characteristics of type 2 diabetes (among aged Pakistanis) and gestational diabetes (in pregnant women).

Material and methods

The statistical analysis of a cross-sectional survey included the data of 1479 adults, aged 18–75 years, living in urban and rural areas. Blood glucose was measured by an automatic clinical chemistry analyser. Diabetes was confirmed via an glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) report from each patient’s file admitted in medical and surgical wards. Blood pressures were measured and recorded, and the medical history and prior illness data were collected by interviewing the patients and cross checked with their individual daily progress report.

Results

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in different age groups in urban and rural areas was 5.3%, among which 9.8% was found to be previously diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus and 7% was newly diagnosed type II diabetes, whereas the percentage of gestational diabetes was 1.36% of the total ratio (5.3%). Type 2 diabetes mellitus affected more women than men, which increased with age. Central obesity and hypertension were highly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus occurrence. The prevalence of previously diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus with overweight or obesity was 68.4%, with central obesity 32.3%, and with hypertension 56.5%. A significant association (p = 0.005) was found between obesity, as a risk factor, gestational diabetes, and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Conclusions

These results show that diabetes has reached high proportions, and comprehensive strategies are needed for the prevention and control of the problem of type II diabetes.
Painted Landscape before Landscape
Painting in Early Modern England
Authors: Leonhard Karin
Published: December 2022

This paper investigates the period before landscape painting was regarded as an
autonomous genre and became a key concept of British national identity—that is,
in paintings of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Painting landscapes then
regularly appears as the task of developing a spatial-plastic continuum; beginning
from the foreground, the painter works, layer by layer, toward the most distant point
in the depth of the pictorial space, revealing different layers or steps of visibility.
Aurea Aetas Antverpiensis : Land(scapes) in
the Blijde Inkomst for Ernest of Austria into
Antwerp, 1594
Authors: Raband Ivo
Published: December 2022

This chapter discusses the importance assigned to agricultural land and landscape
in the context of the Joyous Entry of Archduke Ernest of Austria into Antwerp
in 1594. It analyzes and contextualizes the first tableau vivant of the Entry, the
“Stage of Agriculture,” placing particular stress on the significance of the coming
of a second Golden Age, such as that described by Virgil in his fourth Eclogue and
Georgics. Antwerp’s City Council further addressed the stage’s central themes of
agriculture and land(scape) with its gift for the archduke: Pieter Bruegel’s painting
series of The Seasons. The chapter argues that contemporary political, economic, and
climate issues led the organizers to reevaluate the role of the land outside the city.
RTL-DL: A Hybrid Deep Learning Framework for DDoS Attack Detection in a Big Data Environment
Authors: A Afolabi Hassan , A Aburas Abdurazzag
Published: December 2022

A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is one of the most common cyber threats to the Internet of Things (IoT). Several deep learning (DL) techniques have been utilized in intrusion detection systems to prevent DDoS attacks. However, their performance is greatly affected by a large class imbalance nature of the training datasets as well as the presence of redundant and irrelevant features in them. This study proposes RTL-DL, a new framework for an effective intrusion detection model based on the random oversampling technique and the Tomek-Links sampling technique (RTL), to minimize the effects of data imbalance in the CICIDS2017 dataset used to evaluate the proposed model. This study achieved 98.3% accuracy, 98.8% precision, 98.3% recall, 97.8% f-score, and 4.6% hamming loss. In comparison to current approaches, the suggested model has demonstrated promising results in identifying network threats in imbalanced data sets.
Nietzsche Contra a Mitologia da Liberdade
Authors: Medrado Alice
Published: December 2022

A crítica de Nietzsche à ideia de livre-arbítrio e suas implicações morais ocupa um lugar de destaque em sua filosofia, porque Nietzsche a tomou como pedra de toque do regime moral por ele combatido. Partindo deste ponto, encontraremos um embate original e instigante com as duas linhagens dominantes em filosofia moral à sua época – e poderíamos dizer, também à nossa – as linhagens de origem humeana e kantiana, ambas acusadas por Nietzsche de meramente elaborarem um apoio teórico para os preconceitos populares em torno da questão da liberdade. Mas mais do que um exercício refutativo das teses adversárias, o que chama atenção na crítica de Nietzsche às visões tradicionais de liberdade é sua capacidade de trazer para o centro do debate uma série de fatores até então deixados à sombra, fatores que dizem respeito à primazia dos impulsos na nossa organização psicofísica; à relação entre inconsciente e consciência; às distorções causadas pela identificação entre a esfera da subjetividade com a racionalidade; à contaminação moral da linguagem e à própria linguagem enquanto um fator de limitação da liberdade de escolha conquanto condicionante dos discursos, e portanto da autocompreensão, que o sujeito pode elaborar sobre si mesmo. Seguindo o fio da crítica de Nietzsche à moral do livre-arbítrio encontraremos algumas de suas mais inovadoras contribuições ao debate sobre agência e psicologia moral.

Published: December 2022

The main objective of the study was to analyze the differences between samples from general and clinical sample in personality prototypes (PRP), derived from the Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory (MACI). The methodology included an analytical and observational design with a random, multi-stage, stratified and proportional cluster sampling in general sample (n= 461) and consecutive sampling of clinical sample (n= 219), in adolescents between 13 and 17 years of age. We found introvert, inhibited, doleful, forceful, oppositional, self-demeaning and borderline PRP in the clinical sample and dramatizing and conforming PRP in the general sample present a significantly higher mean. There is a relevant absence of significant differences in egotistic, submissive, and unruly PRP. By sex, more significant differences in PRP are observed in the clinical sample. By age, a significant downward linear trend in the submissive and conforming PRP is observed, as well as an upward trend in the unruly and forceful PRP in the general sample. The clinician must be alert in the interpretation of the MACI PRP that do not differentiate between general and clinical samples.

Abstract. The applications of geostationary (GEO) satellite measurements at an unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution from the Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) for monitoring and forecasting the alarming ozone pollution in Asia through data assimilation remain at the early stage. Here we investigate the benefit of multiple ozone observations from GEMS geostationary satellite, low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite, and surface networks on summertime ozone simulations through individual or joint data assimilation, built on our previous Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) framework (Shu et al., 2022). We find that data assimilation better represents the exceedance, spatial patterns, and diurnal variations of surface ozone, with a regional mean negative bias reduction from 2.1 to 0.2–1.2 ppbv in ozone simulations as well as precision improvements of a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of by 5–69 % in most Asian countries. Furthermore, the joint assimilation of GEMS and surface observations performs the best. GEMS also brings direct added value for better reproducing ozone vertical distributions, especially in the middle to upper troposphere at low latitudes, but may mask the added value of LEO measurements, which are crucial to constrain surface and upper tropospheric ozone simulations when observations from other platforms are inadequate. Our study provides a valuable reference for ozone data assimilation as multisource observations become gradually available in the era of GEO satellites.
Importance of multiple sources of iron for the upper ocean biogeochemistry over the northern Indian Ocean
Authors: Banerjee Priyanka
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Although the northern Indian Ocean (IO) is globally one of the most productive regions and receives dissolved iron (DFe) from multiple sources, there is no comprehensive understanding of how these different sources of DFe can impact upper ocean biogeochemical dynamics. Using an Earth system model with an ocean biogeochemistry component this study shows that atmospheric deposition is the most important source of DFe to the upper 100 m of the northern IO, contributing more than 50 % of the annual DFe concentration. Sedimentary sources are locally important in the vicinity of the continental shelves and over the southern tropical IO, away from high atmospheric depositions. While atmospheric deposition contributes to more than 10 % (35 %) to 0–100 m (surface level) chlorophyll concentrations over large parts of the northern IO, sedimentary sources have similar contribution to chlorophyll concentrations over the southern tropical IO. Such increases in chlorophyll are primarily driven by an increase in diatom population over most of the northern IO. The regions that are susceptible to chlorophyll enhancement following external DFe additions are where low levels of background DFe and high background NO3:DFe values are observed. Analysis of DFe budget over selected biophysical regimes over the northern IO points to vertical mixing as most important for DFe supply, while the importance of advection (horizontal and vertical) varies seasonally. Apart from removal of surface DFe by phytoplankton uptake, subsurface balance between DFe scavenging and regeneration is crucial in replenishing DFe pool to be made available to surface layer by physical processes.

Abstract. Changes in sea ice conditions and atmospheric circulation over the Southern Ocean play an important role in modulating Antarctic climate. However, observations of both sea ice and wind conditions are limited in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, both temporally and spatially. Ice core chemistry data can be used to reconstruct changes over annual, decadal, and millennial timescales. To facilitate sea ice and wind reconstructions, the CLIVASH2k working group has compiled a database of two species, sodium [Na+] and sulphate [SO42-], commonly measured ionic species. The database contains records from 105 Antarctic ice cores, containing records with a maximum age duration of 2000 years. An initial filter has been applied, based on evaluation against climate observations, to identify sites suitable for reconstructing past sea ice conditions, wind strength, or atmospheric circulation.
Shape still matters – rockfall experiments with deadwood reveal a new facet of rock shape relevance

Published: December 2022

Abstract. Mountain forests have a substantial protective function in preventing natural hazards. Rates of deadwood production have already increased and are predicted to rise further, due to natural disturbances. In particular, higher windthrow event frequencies are expected, primarily due to the emerging even-aged forest stands in alpine regions combined with climate change. Here, we quantified the rockfall protection effect of mountain forests with and without deadwood in unprecedented detail. Repetitive experiments were conducted in which the two most important rock shapes from a hazard potential point of view and masses of 200 kg up to 3200 kg were considered. Based on a multi-camera setup, pre-and post-experimentally retrieved high- resolution lidar data, and rock data measured in situ, we completely reconstructed 63 trajectories. Every parameter of interest describing the rockfall kinematics was retrieved for each trajectory. A total of 164 tree impacts and 55 deadwood impacts were observed, and the currently applied energy absorption curves – partially only derived theoretically – could consequently be corroborated or even expanded to a greater absorption performance of certain species than hitherto assumed. Standing trees in general and deadwood, in particular, were found to strongly impede the notorious lateral spreading of platy rocks. Platy rocks featured a shorter mean run-out distance than their compact counterparts of similar weight, even in the absence of deadwood. These results indicate that the higher hazard potential of platy rocks compared with more compact rocks, previously postulated for open field terrain, applies less to forested areas. Lastly, reproducing the experimental setting showcases how complex forest states can be treated within rockfall simulations. Overall, the results of this study highlight the importance of incorporating horizontal forest structures that are as accurate as possible into simulations in order to obtain realistic deposition patterns.
Parallel use of threshold parameter variation for tropical cyclone tracking
Authors: Enz Bernhard Markus , Engelmann Jan Paul , Lohmann Ulrike
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Assessing the capacity of numerical models to produce viable tropical cyclones, as well as assessing the climatological behavior of simulated tropical cyclones, requires an objective tracking method. These make use of parameter thresholds to determine whether a detected feature, such as a vorticity maximum or a warm core, is sufficiently strong to indicate a tropical cyclone. The choice of parameter thresholds is generally subjective. This study proposes and assesses the parallel use of many threshold parameter combinations, combining a number of weaker and stronger values. The tracking algorithm succeeds in tracking tropical cyclones within the model data, beginning at their aggregation stage or shortly thereafter, and ending when they interact strongly with extratropical flow and transition into extratropical cyclones, or when their warm core decays. The sensitivity of accumulated cyclone energy to tracking errors is assessed. Tracking errors include faulty initial detection and termination of valid tropical cyclones and systems falsely identified as tropical cyclones. They are found to not significantly impact the accumulated cyclone energy. The tracking algorithm thus produces an adequate estimate of the accumulated cyclone energy within the underlying data.

Abstract. Estimation of an image exterior orientation is required in multiple tasks including 3D reconstruction, autonomous driving and navigation, and single-photo 3D reconstruction. The problem can be easily solved if some reference points (keypoints) with known coordinates in the reference frame are detected in the image. While multiple robust keypoint detectors were developed, estimation of an image exterior orientation from a single image remains challenging in many cases. For example, repeating structures in the scene or absence of textures can reduce the performance of keypoint detectors. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for estimation of an image exterior orientation that leverages the latent space of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). We propose a modification of the StyleGAN2 model that we term ExteriorGAN. Unlike the StyleGAN2 that generates random images from a random noise vector z, we aim training a mapping from a random vector z and a given image exterior orientation p G : (z,p) → A. Our model generates random images for a constant exterior orientation p and random z that have constant geometry but differs in the scene appearance (e.g. different light direction or intensity). We perform embedding of the image A into the latent space w and reconstruct the input noise vector z and exterior orientation parameters w using a stochastic gradient descent. We developed a dedicated dataset with 50k images and corresponding orientation parameters to train and validate our ExteriorGAN model. The results of evaluation demonstrate that our algorithm allows estimation of the exterior orientation of an image with respect to a known 3D scene. The accuracy of the exterior orientation is comparable with modern state-of-the-art methods. The camera pose can be recovered with a mean error of 50 mm for a working space of 5 by 5 meters.
Constraints on fracture distribution in the Los Humeros geothermal field from beamforming of ambient seismic noise
Authors: Kennedy Heather , Löer Katrin , Gilligan Amy
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Faults and fractures are crucial parameters for geothermal systems as they provide secondary permeability allowing fluids to circulate and heat up in the subsurface. In this study, we use an ambient seismic noise technique referred to as three-component (3C) beamforming to detect and characterize faults and fractures at a geothermal field in Mexico. We perform 3C beamforming on ambient noise data collected at the Los Humeros Geothermal Field (LHGF) in Mexico. The LHGF is situated in a complicated geological area, part of a volcanic complex with an active tectonic fault system. Although the LHGF has been exploited for geothermal resources for over 3 decades, the field has yet to be explored at depths greater than 3 km. Consequently, it is currently unknown how deep faults and fractures permeate, and the LHGF has yet to be exploited to its full capacity. Three-component beamforming extracts the polarizations, azimuths and phase velocities of coherent waves as a function of frequency, providing a detailed characterization of the seismic wavefield. In this study, 3C beamforming of ambient seismic noise is used to determine surface wave velocities as a function of depth and propagation direction. Anisotropic velocities are assumed to relate to the presence of faults giving an indication of the maximum depth of permeability, a vital parameter for fluid circulation and heat flow throughout a geothermal field. Three-component beamforming was used to determine if the complex surface fracture system permeates deeper than is currently known. Our results show that anisotropy of seismic velocities does not decline significantly with depth, suggesting that faults and fractures, and hence permeability, persist below 3 km. Moreover, estimates of fast and slow directions, with respect to surface wave velocities, are used to determine the orientation of faults with depth. The north-east (NE) and north–north-west (NNW) orientation of the fast direction corresponds to the orientation of the Arroyo Grande and Maxtaloya–Los Humeros Fault swarms, respectively. NE and NNW orientations of anisotropy align with other major faults within the LHGF at depths permeating to 6 km.
HELAL BİR GIDA KAYNAĞI OLARAK: NATÜREL ZEYTİNYAĞLARINDA TAKLİT VE TAĞŞİŞ TESPİT ÇALIŞMALARI

Published: December 2022

Semavi dinlere mensup Akdeniz havzası insanlarının, günlük diyetlerinde yer alan zeytin ve zeytinyağı helal ve güvenli bir gıda kaynağıdır. Zeytinyağı, antik dünyada, özellikle eski Yunanistan ve Roma İmparatorluğu'nda lüks bir gıda olarak kabul edilmiştir. Eski toplumlarda zeytinyağı sadece tüketim ve yemek pişirmek için değil, aynı zamanda parfüm, sabun, hasta ve ölüler için merhem ve ışık olarak da kullanılmıştır. Zeytinyağı hem ilaç hem de kozmetik üretiminde kullanılmıştır. Tıbbın babası olarak bilinen Hipokrat onu “büyük şifacı” ve antik Yunan’ın ünlü şairi Homeros “sıvı altın” olarak adlandırdı. Romalı hekim Bergamalı Galen de sağlık üzerindeki olumlu etkilerinden dolayı onu övmüştür. Ağacın değeri, Romalı ziraat bilimci Columella'nın zeytini ağaçların kraliçesi olarak adlandırmasına neden olmuştur. Zeytinyağı antik zamanlardan günümüze dek, zeytinlerden sadece fiziksel yöntemlerle (presleme, santrifüjleme ve perkolasyon [damlama, sinolea] üretilen bir yağdır. Ayrıca, zeytinyağları değer ve fiyatı yüzünden antik dönemlerden beri tağşiş ve hilelere maruz kalmış ve hala kalmaktadır. Sağlıklı beslenme tarzı olan Akdeniz beslenmesinin önemli günlük yağ kaynaklarından biri olan zeytinyağına talep, son yıllarda daha da artmıştır. Fakat üretimin yıllara bağlı ve kısıtlı olması nedeniyle, fiyatı diğer yağlara göre daha yüksektir. İşte bu yüksek fiyat özellikle üretici ülkelerde zeytinyağının diğer ucuz yağlarla tağşişine sebep olmakta ve dünyanın en çok tağşiş edilen gıdası olarak kabul edilmektedir. Tağşiş ve hilelerin kaynakları (ikinci ekstraksiyon, riviera, rafine zeytin ve pirina yağları) genellikle ucuz bitkisel yağlı tohum yağları (ayçiçek, kanola, kolza, mısır, soya vb.) olup, bunların tespiti ekonomik açıdan çok büyük önem taşımaktadır. Tağşişin bir sağlık sorunu olarak algılanmaması, diğer gıda güvenliği sorunları içerisinde daha yüksek öncelikler nedeniyle yetkililerin zeytinyağı tağşişini büyük ölçüde görmezden gelmesinin en önemli nedeni olmuştur. Sonuç olarak bu çalışmada, zeytinyağındaki muhtemel tağşişler (kaynakları, önemi ve fizikokimyasal nitelikleri), tarihi gelişimi (antik Ebla şehir devletinin [MÖ 2400] zeytinyağı kontrolü kayıtlarına ait yazılı tabletler, antik Roma’da tağşiş ile mücadele, Ortaçağ İslam Dünyası ve 1800’lerdeki zeytinyağı tağşişinin tespiti, 1981’de İspanya’daki toksik yağ sendromu), tağşişin altında yatan nedenler ve bu tağşiş maddelerinin test edileceği (kalite ve saflık kriterlerine dair resmi normlar, UV Spektrofotometri, GC ve HPLC gibi kromatografik yöntemler ve bu konuya ilişkin bilimsel çalışmalar) hakkında kapsamlı bilgilere yer verilmiştir.

Published: December 2022

A asma é uma doença inflamatória crônica do trato respiratório inferior, onde há uma interação entre fatores genéticos e fatores alérgicos do ambiente externo, resultando em reação exagerada dessas vias e estreitamento do lúmen. Além disso, possui altos índices de prevalência e mortalidade. Neste sentido, objetivou-se estudar o perfil epidemiológico da asma na região norte do Brasil. Para tanto, o método utilizado foi pesquisa de campo, de caráter transversal e aspecto quantitativo. Os dados foram extraídos da plataforma DATASUS (Ministério da Saúde), relacionados ao maior índice de óbito por asma nos estados da região, assim como a incidência deste evento por sexo e idade, de 2015 a 2020. Os resultados mostraram um maior número de mortalidade entre os adultos e idosos, do sexo feminino, na faixa etária acima de 50 anos. Foi evidenciado ainda que no período estudado, o ano de 2020 foi o que apresentou menor taxa de óbito por asma. Conclui-se que os fatos evidenciados no estudo certamente auxiliarão sobremaneira na elaboração de estratégias para uma melhor gestão em saúde desta região. Ressalta-se porém, o baixo quantitativo de estudos voltados para essa temática neste distrito. Assim, orienta-se que novas pesquisas sejam realizadas no intuito de ampliar o conhecimento regional e melhorar a assistência desse público.

Published: December 2022

The Rhodope massif and the Kraishte Zone are parts of the Internal Balkanides separated by Gabrovdol detachment. In the most southwestern part of Bulgaria one of the units of the Serbo-Macedonian Massif (the western part of the Rhodope Massif) the Vertiskos Unit crops out. Part of this unit represented by metagabbro-metadiorites is exposed in an area of about 60 km2 in the central part of the Vlahina Mountain. These rocks are metamorphosed at lower amphibolite facies conditions (T = 630–670 °C and P = 0.85–1.05 GPa). LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating of zircons display concordant age of these rocks of 541±2.6 Ma. The petrological and isotopic investigations show significant differences with the rocks of the Vertiskos Unit and allow us to assign these rocks to the basement of the Kraishte zone (Struma Unit).
Proactivity in content delivery networks resource management: The stock options case

Published: December 2022

This paper focuses on the management and pricing of resources in Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), which are extensively adopted nowadays as a very efficient mechanism for Internet information provision. We elaborate on a resource management model that is aligned with the concepts and mechanisms in capital markets. We use the concept of Stock Options (SOs) to address the scarcity and potential unavailability of CDN resources. Using a Predictive Reservation Scheme (PRS), network resources (traffic volume) are being monitored through kernel estimators in a given time frame. A Secondary Market (SM) significantly improves the efficiency and robustness of the PRS by allowing the fast exchange of unused resources (stocks) and SOs between the Origin Servers (OSs).

A security incident or rule violation can be detected and documented using forensic analysis, which is made easier by preconfigured views that are enhanced with crucial data. In this paper, we present an advanced visualization mechanism for digital forensics that increases the situational awareness of a security expert by analysing and presenting security events, alarms and critical performance indicators. Using testbeds made available by Fed4FIRE+, we demonstrate an experimentation setup that simulates genuine client settings, including their varying needs and differences in size and requirements. These tests allowed for the parameterization of the variables, which led to rapid and well-documented results that could only be reached by trial and error with potential financial repercussions.

Introduction: Worldwide gall bladder cancer (GBC) is known to be the commonest malignant tumour of the biliary tract .It is the most aggressive carcinoma of the biliary tract with short median survival from the time of diagnosis. The aggressive biologic behavior of the carcinoma and non-availability of sensitive screening tests for early detection may be responsible for the poor prognosis associated with GBC. Owing to the delayed diagnosis at an advanced stage, only 10% of the patients are found to be eligible for a curative surgical resection. Material and Methods: All consecutive patients diagnosed with neoplastic and non-neoplastic gallbladder lesions in the Department of Pathology, Subharti Medical College were included in the study between the year 2017 -2019. The hematoxylin and Eosin stained biopsies of 320 patients were assessed and out of them 100 patients were chosen as the sample for the study. The clinicopatholgical data of the 100 patients were compiled into a data base and de-identified. Results: Age distribution of Gall Bladder lesion cases in our study was from 30 years to more than 60 years of age. 46.20% of females in the age group of 45 years to 60 years presented with mass in the gall bladder. There was significant difference in the presence of mass between the Neoplastic and non-neoplastic group among 45-60 years of age (p<0.001). It was analyzed that there had been a significant difference between the neoplastic and non neoplastic tumour morphology and age distribution among males. The neoplastic tumours were highest in >60 years age group while neoplastic tumours were highest among 45-60 years age group . The presence of E-cadherin, Ki67 and P53 together suggested the presence of histological grade of carcinoma. There was no significant association between the presence of metastasis and biomarkers concentrations.The presence of E-cadherin, Ki67 and P53 together suggested the presence clinical stage of carcinoma . Conclusions: The minimal response of advanced cases of GBC to traditional treatments calls for new prognostic and treatment perspectives to be identified. Novel prognostic biomarkers could bring about the needed breakthrough in this regard as they will help in the identification of patients who will benefit tremendously from adjuvant and targeted therapies.

Imitation of smile aesthetics and analysis, is an initial step for dental bleaching, hence it is significant that the dentist/dental hygienist identifies how to analyze the root causes of color change and to specify whitening before suggesting the suitable dental procedure. With the high-tech advancement, dental bleaching techniques have arose to assist its use and provide comfort, safety and reduction in time, in the performance of the technique. The conservative means of external dental whitening is with hydrogen peroxide (photo activated or not) or carbamate. However, dental sensitivity is frequently complained by patients by the home and office whitening procedures. There is an innovative bleaching application in the market without the use of these bleaching gels, as a consequence decreasing post-treatment sensitivity. Such a suggestion elucidates, replacing bleaching agent by ultraviolet light. The object of this literature review is to enlighten the determining factors that affect the final satisfactory results of the different techniques and explains a general overview, permissible to reach a treatment conclusion based on evidence.

Published: December 2022

Background: One of the large trilateral bones present at the base of the vertebral column is named as sacrum. The body weight transfers from trunk to pelvis and lower extremities. Different studies considering sacral morphological variations are conducted in the western world. The scope and knowledge of these studies in the eastern world is limited. Different sacral anatomies are reported by the scientists. Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate and measure thoroughly the variable morphologies of sacrum. Study design: It is an investigational and cross-sectional study facilitated by statistical approach. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 223 skeleton samples. These samples were preserved in the anatomy department of Mufti Mehmood Teaching Hospital Dera Ismail Khan and Bacha Khan Medical Complex Swabi during the period from October 2021 to June 2022. The human research ethical committee of the hospital approved the study. The vernier caliper was used to measure the correlation parameters of variability. The morphological features were calculated. The study also calculated the sacral variation incidence. The sacra with any kind of bony defects were excluded from the study. Results: The anatomical differences reported in the 223 samples were observed to be 59%. Out of the 223 patients the 81 were females and 142 were males. The five variations were reported in the sacral regions, while two samples have the rare sacral variations. The mean age of the included sample was observed to be 44 years. The age of the people whose sacral samples were included in the study was between 21-72 years. The percentage incidence of accessory auricular faces was observed to be 12.5%. The sacral skewness was observed in 24% cases. The 17% showed the transitional vertebra, while sacral spina bifida occulta was seen in 28% samples. Conclusion: This large scale anatomical study provides information about the apparent changes in the morphology of different sacral variables. This study provides comprehensive data about the different sacral variations. The detailed information about the human sacrum is provided. The apparent identification methods by western medical officers are also considered in this work which may help our medical staff to identify the sacral variations.

Objective: To determine the frequency of repeat caesarean sections among women presenting at the tertiary care Hospital. Subjects and Methods: This cross-sectional study was done at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shaikh Zaid Women Hospital, SMBBMU Larkana. A total of 345 women older than 18 years with a history of at least one previous caesarean section regardless of gestational age or parity were included. After taking a clinical examination and history, the patients were evaluated according to the frequency of repeated caesarean sections. The data was controlled on a pre-designed proforma, and SPSS version 26 was used for the data analysis. Results: The average age of the patients was 25.83±4.15 years, average gestational age was 35.18+3.38 weeks; and the average parity was 2.09+0.35. Out of 345 cases, 28.7% were urban and 71.3% were rural resident. Most of the cases were booked. Out of all women, 57.1% were obese, and 51.59% had diabetes. The frequency of repeated caesarean sections was observed in 66.96% (231 out of 345) of the women. The frequency of the repeated caesarean sections with respect to maternal age and obesity was statistically significant (p-<0.05), while it was statistically insignificant according to gestational age, residency, booking status, and diabetes (p->0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, the frequency of repeated caesarean sections was observed to be highly prevalent. Effective implementation of caesarean section reduction efforts may be influenced by the social and cultural context, as well as associated beliefs and behaviours.
