LIMITED ACCESS DRESSING IN WOUND MANAGEMENT
Authors: Bhanuda Paashupat , Rajan K V
Published: March 2024

Wound Management remains one of the areas of contention facing modern surgical care. Various new methods hold promise but their efcacy is
still untested. Moist dressings are effective in wound healing but their efcacy has been in question as the moist environment leads to explosive
bacterial growth in the era of antibiotic resistant microbes. NPWT is an effective and comparatively novel mode of dressing but can be very costly
as well as cumbersome to the patient. Hence the need to revisit and constantly innovate this neglected eld of modern surgical science by using new
modalities of dressing which combined best of both dressing types and leads to satisfactory wound healing and granulation tissue growth and
infection control.
Limited Access Dressing helps avoid the discomfort and pain of continuous suction and produces comparable results as NPWT in the wound
healing process and is thus cost effective. Limited Access Dressing is cost effective as the materials required for LAD are easily available in all
hospitals and low intermittent suction can be administered by an ordinary suction machine. LAD hastens wound healing by granulation tissue
deposition through angiogenesis and wound contraction and removes the necrotic exudates without disturbing the proinammatory mediators
necessary for healing during the rest period. LAD renders the surface of the wound with visible qualitative change. LAD does not lead to worsening
of the wound milieu and thus safe and effective method wound management.
OPTIMIZING TITANIUM IMPLANTS : UNVEILING THE POTENTIAL OF LOCALIZED DRUG DELIVERY IN OSSEOINTEGRATION
Authors: Vincent Lisa , P M Gayathri , Janardanan Kavitha , K Harshakumar
Published: March 2024

Titanium and its alloys are the most widely used orthopaedic and dental implant materials due to their superior corrosion resistance, high
biocompatibility and outstanding mechanical properties. Osseointegration is an essential factor for successful implantation. Surface modication
of implants is an effective method to improve bone–implant integration. Commonly used surface modication methods include the additive
modication and subtractive modication. Additive modication enhances the bioactivity of implants, whereas Subtractive modication methods
helps in the formation of rough micro/nanostructure on implants to induce the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of osteoblasts. With
advances in the biomedical eld, the implant surface can be loaded with drugs to build a local drug delivery system which promotes bone
formation, and provides anti-inammatory and antibacterial effects. The local drug delivery systems such as antimicrobial drug delivery systems,
anti-bone resorption drug delivery systems etc. proved to be effective method to improve osseointegration. These drug delivery systems can also be
combined with traditional surface modication methods such as acid etching, anodic oxidation, surface coating technology etc to achieve
enhanced osseointegration. This paper discusses about different methods of local drug delivery systems which enhance osseointegration.

Statement of the problem. The article presents the results of a study of the stress-strain state of a metal tower, to accommodate cellular communication equipment, in the presence of corrosion damage to individual elements and connections of the support. The effect of section reduction on the change in horizontal displacements of the structure, as well as on the bearing capacity of individual rods, is considered. The relationship between the decrease in the thickness of the considered section and the above parameters is described. Results. The absence of a linear relationship between the increase in corrosion damage and the change in horizontal displacements of the upper support points was established. An approach to assessing corrosion wear is proposed, using a regression function that takes into account corrosion intensity and rate factors. Conclusions. The phenomenon under consideration leads to an increase in sign-variable movements and causes a negative impact on process equipment with a deviation of 0o18', exceeding the allowable value of trouble-free operation by 1.5 times.

Psicología y neoescolasticismo. Migraciones intelectuales en la institucionalización de la psicología como ciencia y profesión en Argentina
Authors: Piñeda María Andrea
Published: March 2024

Al iniciar el siglo XX, cuando la psicología moderna daba sus primeros pasos de institucionalización en Argentina, en un mundo cada vez más secularizado, parecía que la ciencia excluía toda posibilidad de relación con el campo religioso. Sin embargo, un nuevo programa de psicología científica se organizó en las entrañas del catolicismo en Europa y se extendió en América hasta Argentina. ¿Qué aportaba a la naciente psicología local? Este trabajo describe migraciones intelectuales en la circulación de saberes y prácticas psicológicas vinculadas al movimiento internacional católico conocido como neoescolasticismo. Las mismas se registran durante el proceso de institucionalización de la psicología argentina como ciencia y profesión entre las décadas de 1900 y 1960. Se visibilizan instituciones y programas de formación universitaria así como viajes, relaciones discipulares y publicaciones de referencia. La mirada de conjunto revela que, más allá de una común base filosófica, se difundió heterogeneidad de saberes y prácticas psicológicas que fueron consistentes con la amplitud de trayectorias académicas, así como de orientaciones políticas. Sin embargo, parece haberse seguido un patrón uniforme en la promoción de una cultura científica capaz de dar sustento a una psicología autónoma como ciencia y profesión, basada en una visión integral del objeto de estudio.
Anergy as a potential risk factor for squamous cell carcinoma in an immunocompetent patient with diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis: A case report
Authors: Tirado-Sánchez Andrés , Bonifaz Alexandro , Hernández-Gómez Sebastián
Published: March 2024

Despite the rarity, leishmaniasis may occur in tandem with malignancy. This co-occurrence contributes to a postulation that anergy to parasite antigens may predispose an infected patient to the development of diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis and also increase the risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma due to decreased host immune response. We, herein, present a 63-year-old man suffering diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis that was poorly responsive to treatment. Furthermore, the patient had several nodule-like, infiltrative, and coalescent lesions on his right face. The Montenegro skin test revealed signs of anergy and the biopsy test revealed squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) coexisting with Leishmania sp. Bodies. The patient was given a treatment with amphotericin B and later with radiation therapy, but the tumors showed a poor response to the treatment, and the patient was lost on follow-up. Our observations of the current case highlight the role of a weakening host immune response as a result of diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis in the development of SCC. Such postulation points to and corroborates the involvement of anergy, a condition probably caused by parasite-induced suppression of the immune response, linking leishmaniasis, and skin malignancy development.
फाह्यान का भारत दर्शन में सामाजिक एवं धार्मिक स्थिति का वर्णन
Authors: - डॉ. पिंकी यादव
Published: March 2024

फाह्यान ने ई. 402-411 ई. के बीच भारत का भ्रमण किया। वह भारत में पंजाब, मथुरा एवं फर्रुखाबाद गया। वह श्रावस्ती, कपिलवस्तु, गया, सारनाथ, कुशीनगर, वैशाली आदि बौद्ध स्थानों का दर्शन करता हुआ पाटलिपुत्र पहुँचा। वह तीन वर्ष तक चंद्रगुप्त द्वितीय की राजधानी पाटलिपुत्र में रहकर संस्कृत सीखता रहा। फाह्यान ने राजगृह, सारनाथ, बोधगया, वाराणसी की भी यात्रा की। अंत में, अपनी वापसी में वह चंपा, तामलिप्ति के बंदरगाहों से होता हुआ जहाज द्वारा सिंहल (लंका) गया। फाह्यान ने 414 ईस्वी में अपनी यात्रा का वृतांत ‘बौद्ध राज्यों का अभिलेख’ नाम से लिखा, जिसे आज ‘फाह्यान की यात्राएँ’ नाम से जाना जाता है। फाह्यान ने कोई अलग से धार्मिक एवं सामाजिक स्थिति का वर्णन नहीं किया है बल्कि उनके यात्रा विवरणों के अध्ययन करने से उस समय के समाज व संस्कृति का पता चल जाता है। भारत सम्बन्धी विवरणों से हमें तत्कालीन भारत के सामाजिक जीवन के विषय में बहुमूल्य जानकारी प्राप्त होती है। फाह्यान ने अपने यात्रा विवरण में अपना ध्यान अधिकांशतः धार्मिक स्थलों के विवरण एवं वहां की धार्मिक स्थिति पर ही केन्द्रित किया है। परन्तु उसके विवरणों में भारतीय लोगों के सामाजिक जीवन की भी जानकारी मिलती है।
The Impact Logistics Management on Food Security
Authors: - Helena Mary Boakye , - N. S. Matsiliza
Published: March 2024

The assurance that food insecurity is minimized with enabling logistics provisions is evident in the literature, however, the quantified relation between logistics management and food security was limited. This article examines the relationship between logistics management and food security, focusing on the efficacy of the Infrastructure for Poverty Eradication Program (IPEP) warehouses in coordinating Logistics in the agricultural sector. Using a multi-stage sampling technique, 384 smallholder farmers from two regions having access to the IPEP initiative were sampled, in the aftermath, regression analysis was performed. Contrary to the GSS, 2022 Annual Household Income and Expenditure Survey, which claims around 50 percent food insecurity, Ghana's food security has improved, with over 90 percent of foods produced now escaping post-harvest losses.
However, Logistics management has a weak relationship with Ghana's food security at p=0.073 and Pearson's R=0.149, indicating that Logistics management has a slight influence (p=0.001) on food security (R2 =1%), and recent improvements in food security cannot be linked to its well-roundedness. Ninety-nine percent of the underlying food security cannot be correlated to effective logistics management; therefore, effective implementation of a national plan is essential to institute the IPEP as the fulcrum in carrying out this administrative responsibility for the optimum gain.

As a result, accuracy of the model was calculated about 0.96 which is quite good for park slot occupy detection. It was also performed successfully 7,6 out of every 10-parking maneuver.
Remaking the Past: Identifying Sramanic Traditions from Kerala
Authors: - B.Shyama
Published: March 2024

For historians and researchers, reconstructing the glorious but hidden Jaina and Buddhist antiquity of the Kerala region has proven to be a great challenge in the absence of necessary sources. But its influence in Kerala society is unquestionable. A wide range of socio-economic, political, and artistic endeavours expanded heterodox faiths like Jainism and Buddhism throughout centuries and across numerous geographical regions, from the mid-Gangetic valley to Kerala. The contributions of the Jains and Buddhists to the development of society and culture in Kerala have not been adequately highlighted and integrated into the mainstream of Kerala historical studies, despite the empirical and conceptual advances made in Kerala historiography over the last two decades. The history of the Jains and the Buddhists was pushed to the back burner in favour of the major focus of Kerala history and culture, centring on Brahmin settlements and temple-oriented sociocultural structures. To understand the socio-economic aspects of the spread of the heterodox Jain and Buddhist religio-cultural groups to Kerala, my article suggests setting a few epigraphical examples from the Jain and Buddhist relics in Kerala against the backdrop of Kerala's medieval history.
Challenges of Moroccan Public Administration in the Southern Provinces: Exploring the Administrative Resilience Throughout the Sahrawi Case
Authors: - Zineb Guali
Published: March 2024

Morocco started advanced regionalization in 2015. Two of its 12 regions, respectively “Laayoune – Sakia Al Hamra” and “Dakhla-Oued Ddahab” are concerned by a dispute over territorial integrity with the North African neighbors.
The conflict over Sahara started after its colonization by Spain in 1884. The Kingdom ended up signing Madrid agreements to administrate the Sahara. The conflict in the Sahara compromises the implementation of Moroccan reforms. Albeit expensive for Moroccan Government, the execution of economic and social development programs in the Sahara is going on.
The study aims to address the question: What challenges does Moroccan Public Administration face in conflict-affected regions? The research seeks to enhance comprehension of administrative resilience amidst regional conflicts. The paper is qualitative with a case study of two conflict-affected regions: a status quo. The importance of this research stems from an attempt to show the reality of Moroccan Public Administration challenges in the Southern Provinces.
This academic paper shows that the strong socio-economic development dynamism in the Sahara is a major component of regional peace and stability.

Published: March 2024

In recent years, transfer learning has emerged as a pivotal technique in machine learning, enabling models to leverage insights gained from one domain to enhance their performance in distinct domains. This shift in approach has catalyzed a surge in research endeavors aimed at uncovering strategies to augment the effectiveness of transfer learning while also addressing the associated challenges. This study delves comprehensively into the multifaceted realm of transfer learning and generalization, exploring a spectrum of methodologies designed to amplify knowledge transfer across diverse contexts. From adapting to varying domains to exploring meta-learning principles, this investigation surveys an array of techniques aimed at bolstering models' capacity to extrapolate their learning to novel tasks and situations. Nevertheless, achieving seamless knowledge transfer encounters challenges such as domain shifts, dataset biases, and high-dimensional data complexities. By critically evaluating these hurdles, this research highlights the impediments that curtail transfer learning's full potential and discusses potential avenues for mitigation. Moreover, in the evolving landscape of machine learning, novel innovations like generative adversarial networks (GANs) and few-shot learning techniques have introduced new dimensions of adaptability and robustness to transfer learning. In summation, this comprehensive exploration underscores the intricate interplay between transfer learning and generalization, contributing to a deeper understanding of effective transfer learning strategies and their associated challenges, while guiding researchers and practitioners to pioneer innovative solutions that advance the frontiers of transfer learning and facilitate the development of more generalized machine learning models.
Ontology of the Virus
Authors: - Plamen N. Nikolov
Published: March 2024

The paper describes the mutual correlation between the complex systems and the simple ones through the prism of the micro based entities like viruses. The carbon based biochemical beings in their capacity of complex systems are in a constant coexistence with viruses representing the simplest biological system, which unintendedly may destroy their host. On the other hand, the digital viruses also operate in an environment, where they can spread causing the same consequences for the complex system they use as a host. The article explicitly shows what are the similarities between the two entities, which can cause the same ontological outcomes, although they belong to different evolutionary paradigms.

The narrator describes a series of contradictory viewpoints and states of mind throughout the whole novel. The paper shows a psychological interpretation of how emotional traumas affect the self-perception, moral development, and planned behaviour of the main character by the pot, conflicts, and point of view. The gathered details are analyzed through Sigmund Freud's Theory. Thus the research brings out how the narrator tells a story that shows the psychological conflicts within the characters. The thematic analysis of the novel helps the arguments to be put forth.
Navigating the Complexity of HR Analytics: A Conceptual Framework for Effective Implementation and Ethical Practice
Authors: - Vijay K S , - Dr. J K Raju
Published: March 2024

This paper synthesizes an extensive body of literature to elucidate the challenges and prospects of Human Resources (HR) analytics within modern organizational contexts. Despite HR analytics' potential to revolutionize human capital management through data-driven insights, its adoption is hindered by many complexities, including skill gaps, ethical concerns, and implementation barriers. Our study reveals a significant proficiency in basic analytics competencies within HR yet a stark deficiency in advanced statistical capabilities and strategic integration. The discourse extends to the criticality of context-specific, ethical, and balanced analytics practices, considering the globalizing business environment and the nuanced demands of workforce management. We propose a comprehensive conceptual framework addressing these multifaceted challenges, underlining the importance of accurate, integrated, accessible employee data, managerial support, and robust HR information technology. The framework emphasizes developing analytical competencies, fostering organizational culture conducive to data-driven decision-making, and meeting ethical standards. The implications of our findings are twofold: enhancing organizational effectiveness through informed HR strategies and advocating for a paradigm shift towards ethical, strategic, and competent HR analytics practices. This study contributes to the strategic HR management literature by providing a structured approach to overcoming the prevalent challenges in HR analytics and setting a foundation for future empirical research.

Authors: - Binandini Brahma , - Meenu Sharma
Published: March 2024

This article provides an overview of how cartels manipulates the market and what are the problems that are being faced by the consumers. Cartels are said to be formed when two or more business enterprises makes an agreement formally or informally to promote their own interest which distorts the free and fair competition in the market by controlling the prices of goods and services.
When it comes to the enforcement of anti trust law in India there are certain core areas in the Competition Act, 2002. The Competition Act increases the possibility of dealing successfully with the cartels and any anti- competitive agreement. Although, Competition Commission of India needs further strengthening with the operational and functional guidelines for its activities.
The paper begins with an introduction to a cartel after that the authors explores about the origin of the cartels and types of cartels. It is also very important for us to understand a cartel so a chapter is being dedicated to it. The study also highlights the affects of cartelization in the market and an analysis of Competition Act, 2002. Furthermore, we’ve attached few renowned case studies.
In conclusion to this paper we have understood that cartel is a very dangerous phenomenon in the business alliance and how CCI has brought a drastic change in last few years in the market
Quest for Identity and Difficulties of Cultural Assimilation in Bharati Mukherjee's Desirable Daughters
Authors: - Sanghamitra Dash
Published: March 2024

The emergence of diasporic literature has led to various interpretations by scholars and critics. All of the criticism of the diaspora and its vast literature revolve around issues of alienation and assimilation. The diaspora expelled from their country of origin suffers from a loss of identity as a result of the loss of culture in the past. They are forced to face the dilemma of choosing between living in permanent exile or accepting the culture of the new country through assimilation. Bharati Mukherjee's novel "Desirable Daughters" explores the struggles of Indian diaspora women in navigating their identities and cultural integration, highlighting the challenges of family loyalty and societal expectations. The novel depicts the transformation and reinvention of immigrants and exiles in American society, shedding light on the patriarchal norms and restrictions faced by women in both Indian and Western cultures. Mukherjee’s portrayal of characters like Tara, Padma, and Parvati reflects the complexities of gender roles and the quest for individual freedom within traditional and modern societies

Cengkeh (Syzigium aromaticum) merupakan salah satu bahan alami yang mempunyai komposisi eugenol dalam jumlah besar (70%-80%). Senyawa eugenol yang terkandung dalam minyak cengkeh dapat digunakan sebagai pelarut alkohol dan digunakan untuk menjernihkan jaringan preparat. Xylol merupakan salah satu larutan standart untuk clearing yang digunakan pada pembuatan preparat histologi. Xylol merupakan cairan yang tidak berwarna, bersifat mudah terbakar, mudah menguap dan toksik. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat perbandingan hasil pada gambaran makroskopis dan mikroskopis antara perlakuan proses clearing minyak cengkeh dan xylol pada sediaan jaringan ginjal. Penelitian ini bersifat eksperimental menggunakan organ ginjal yang dibagi menjadi dua kelompok pada prosedur clearingnya yaitu dengan perlakuan minyak cengkeh dan xilol. Pengamatan dilakukan secara makroskopis dan mikroskopis. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat diketahui bahwa secara makroskopis, parameter meliputi transparasi, tekstur, dan kemudahan potongan jaringan antara xylol dan minyak cengkeh tidak ada perbedaan signifikan yaitu cukup transparan, tekstur kenyal dan baik dalam hal pemotongan jaringan. Berdasarkan hasil uji T-Test dapat diketahui bahwa pengamatan mikroskopis jaringan ginjal dengan perlakuan clearing menggunakan xilol dan minyak cengkeng mendapatkan nilai P>0,05 yang artinya dapat dikatakan tidak ada perbedaan antara kelompok xylol dan minyakcengkeh.
