Objective: To determine the frequency of factors responsible for diabetic retinopathy (DR) among patients with type II diabetes mellitus (DM). Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the department of Ophthalmology at Indus Medical College Tando Muhammad Khan from January 2021 to June 2021. Patients having type II diabetes mellitus, aged > 40 years, presenting with diabetic retinopathy of either gender were included. After dilating the eye with a 1% tropicamide eye drop, skilled and experienced ophthalmologists diagnosed diabetic retinopathy by using the 90 diopter Volk lens and a slit lamp biomicroscope. A 5 mL blood sample was obtained and sent to the diagnostic laboratory to assess the random blood sugar (RBS) and HBA1c. All the data was collected by using the study proforma and SPSS version 26 was used for the data analysis. Results: A total of 66 patients with diabetic retinopathy were evacuated regarding risk factors. Most of the patients (68.2%) were old. Males were in the majority 75.8%, and females were 24.2%. Out of all, 56.1% patients were poor socioeconomically, while 65.2% were smokers. Half of the patients had microalbuminuria and 68.2% of the cases had HBA1c > 7, while 22.7% of the cases were hypertensive. Most of the cases (66.7%) had a duration of diabetes of more than 10 years. Conclusion: We concluded in this study that age greater than 60 years, low socioeconomic status, smoking, diabetes duration greater than 10 years, HBA1c greater than 7, and microalbuminuria were found to be significant prognostic factors for diabetic retinopathy. As per several study limitations, further large-scale case control studies on particular risk factors are recommended. Keywords: Prognostic factors, prevalence, diabetic retinopathy, type II DM

Published: June 2022

Background: From the beginning till delivery, the embryo relies solely on its mother for all of its nutritional needs. There is a direct link between 25-OHD insufficiency and bad pregnancy outcomes, including preterm and congenital abnormalities. The study's goals were to find out how common deficiencies are among pregnant women at Indus Medical Hospital and to see if there's a link between those deficiencies and pregnancy difficulties. Material and Methods: Over six months, researchers examined the 25(OH)D levels and obstetrical problems, and risk-factors of 90 women. I observed 25-OHD deficiency in 43 pregnant women, according to the results. Results: A total of 90 pregnant women were enrolled, of these, 43 (47.77%) women had vitamin D deficiency. 34 (37.77%) of the females did not ate non-vegetarian foods and 20 (22.22%) ate non-vegetarian meals every other day. Milk intake was likewise low, with 37 (41.11%) drinking it every other day or fewer; the normal serving size of milk was 150 ml. Women below 30 years of age of 23 (53.48%), housewives of 22 (51.16%), and low-income households of 20 (46.51%) showed significantly lower vitamin D levels than women with higher socioeconomic status. Women with low 25(OH)D levels and pregnancies that resulted in over 34 (79.06%) low birth weight babies (<2.5kg) were more likely to experience growth restriction. The baby's growth in utero appears to be being affected by maternal deficiencies. Conclusions: In conclusion, we observed that the frequency of 25(OH)D insufficiency was quite high. keywords: Vitamin d deficiency, antenatal cases, adverse pregnancy outcome

An Anomaly can be defined as an observation that does follow the normal activities with respect to others. Anomaly is polysemy that varies in a different context. For video sequences, an anomaly can be defined in terms of motion or state of motion that obtrude concerning to state and time. This work is based on Pedestrian Video Surveillance, having a normal event as a pedestrian and abnormal event as cars, skaters, bikers, wheelchairs, etc. i.e., non-pedestrian. A comprehensive study has been carried out of many existing systems for the Anomaly detection system. Based on many existing techniques we select a method called optical flow for the feature presentation of the detection of motion and Histogram of optical flow (HOOF) for the action contour of optical flow for every time instant irrespective of scale and direction of motion. As HOOF represents the motion of an object in a region, so there may be cases that the information related to the motion is not well represented. We used these two techniques along with the labelling of the frame inorderto overcome the problem of HOOF for the classifier. And gives the improved results.

Climate regulation in protected structures: a review
Authors: Kumar S , Bairwa DS , Kumar K , Yadav RK , Yadav LP
Published: June 2022

The regulation of greenhouses microclimate is crucial for better plant development and higher yields. Chief microclimate parameters such as solar radiation, temperature, relative humidity, light and CO2 can be manipulated by various control actions, such as heating, natural or forced ventilation, CO2 dosing, humidification and dehumidification to provide suitable environmental conditions for all greenhouse crops. However, these modifications require further energy and fuel usage in the production process. Furthermore, greenhouse microclimate can be adversely affected by extreme climatic conditions and, therefore, optimal ambient control is required to perform complex operations involved in energy balancing, including low emissions and reduced cost of production. This paper presents the information on various parameters concerned with greenhouse climate regulation, their controlling methods and their influence on the crops cultivated inside the protected structure.

Authors: Seethalakshmi K. , Jijeesh C. , Beena V. , Raveendran V.
Published: June 2022

Flowering of Dendrocalamus giganteus occurred for the first time in Kottayam and Kozhikkode districts of Kerala during 2004 to 2007. The present study depicts the observations made on floral biology, seed set and post flowering behavior. The observations on floral biology agreed with the earlier descriptions by other authors. Clump flowered during 2007 in Kottayam district produced seeds in limited quantity while seed set was absent in the clump from Kozhikkode. Absence of in vitro germination of pollens and low pollen viability (10-15 %) by Acetocarmine staining indicate the low seed production. The observation on nature of flowering depicted at least two flowering cohorts in Kerala, the one that flowered currently and those, which do not flower yet. Of the various flowering cycles reported, the cohort currently flowering appears to show a cycle of 65 years. Clump flowered during 2004 in Mallappally reverted back to vegetative phase indicating the potential to develop a clone without death after flowering for commercial plantation.

Published: June 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges for fisheries products export, which serves as a major export driver and employment for the people of Bangladesh. The countrywide lockdown has severely disrupted the supply chain; and port closures and international cargo restrictions have threatened export markets. To unpack the COVID impacts, the detailed fisheries products export-oriented primary data of 45 fish processing plants were collected from Fish Inspection and Quality Control (FIQC), Khulna between January 2020 and December 2021. Ten key informant interviews were conducted with Upazila Fisheries Officer, FIQC personnel and stakeholders of fish processing plants to know the official export data during the pandemic periods. This was followed by further focus group discussions on fish processing plant employees to assess the real impact of COVID-19 on the export of fisheries products in Southwest Bangladesh. In this paper, our study clearly shows that the COVID-19 has resulted in a squeeze export volume of fisheries products during the first wave of Covid-19 from March to May 2020. By 2020, it was observed that the amounts of exported products were somewhat stable, however the unit price (US$/MT) continued to decline. Moreover, the export market improved slightly in 2021 and the unit price of export products continued to rise. We also found some other adverse effects of COVID-19 such as delay in product shipment, increased cost of packing materials, purchase order cancelation from buyers, shortage and the increased price of raw materials, complete shutdown of few processing plants, increased transportation cost, shortage of containers, employee lay off from the company, etc. To meet these challenges, the government must take necessary measures to address this vulnerable sector and formulate appropriate policies to minimize the adverse effects of such uncertainties in the future.

Sosyal hizmet programlarında uygulama derslerinin ağırlıklı olarak yedi ve sekizinci yarıyıllarda gerçekleştirildiği, programların birçoğunun internet sitelerinde uygulama derslerine ilişkin (derslerle ilgili bir koordinatörlük olup olmama durumu, ders saatleri, derslerin yürütülme biçimine ilişkin bir uygulama yönergesi olup olmaması gibi) herhangi bir uygulama yönergesinin yer almadığı belirlenmiştir. “Ulusal Sosyal Hizmet Eğitim-Öğretim Standartları”na uygun bir biçimde müfredatlarındaki uygulama derslerine ilişkin bir yönergeyi görünür bir şekilde internet sayfalarında paylaşan programların sayısının ise 16 (%24) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Covid-19 ile birlikte uzaktan eğitime geçişte eğitim öğretimle ilgili tüm süreçlerin internet tabanlı yürütülmek zorunda kalındığı bir ortamda uygulama derslerine ilişkin açık, anlaşılır bir rehberi internet sayfasında yayınlayan yalnızca bir program bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca programlardaki öğretim elemanlarının yalnızca %25’inin hem lisans hem de lisansüstü eğitiminin sosyal hizmet olduğu görülmüştür.

Sosyal çalışma, sosyal bilimlerin farklı disiplinlerinden edindiği bilimsel bilgiyi bünyesine katarak kullanmaktadır. Ancak artık sanatın farklı dallarından da faydalanılabileceği hatta faydalanılması gerektiği, dahası sosyal çalışmanın sanatın farklı dallarıyla ilgili olduğu alanda tartışılmaktadır. Bu tartışmalar çoğunlukla, terapi sürecinde hizmet alana faydası üzerinden sürdürülmektedir. Böylelikle sanat hizmet alana yönelik doğrudan işlevsel bir etkinliğe dönüştürülmektedir.

Bu çalışma ise sanatın öncelikle bireysel gelişimi ve iyilik halini sağlayan bir süreç olduğunu, mesleki uygulama ile ilgili olarak da sosyal çalışmacıya sunduğu katkıyla uygulamada hizmet alan üzerinde dolaylı bir fayda sağlayacağını belirtmektedir. Sanatta söz konusu süreç, yavaş ilerlemekte ve sonuç vermesi zaman almaktadır. Bu sebeple çalışma sanatın, dolaylı bir tedavi edici ve dolayımlı bir eğitsel faaliyet olduğunu ve sosyal çalışma eğitiminden başlayarak sosyal çalışmacının “hayat boyu eğitim”i içinde yer alması gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır.

Modeling Multi-horizon Electricity Demand Forecasts in Australia: A Term Structure Approach
Authors: Hurn Stan , Martin Vance , Tian Jing
Published: June 2022

The Australian Electricity Market Operator generates one-day ahead electricity demand forecasts for the National Electricity Market in Australia and updates these forecasts over time until the time of dispatch. Despite the fact that these forecasts play a crucial role in the decision-making process of market participants, little attention has been paid to their evaluation and interpretation. Using half-hourly data from 2011 to 2015 for New South Wales and Queensland, it is shown that the official half-hourly demand forecasts do not satisfy the econometric properties required of rational forecasts. Instead there is a relationship between forecasts and forecast horizon similar to a term structure model of interest rates. To study the term structure of demand forecasts, a factor analysis that uses a small set of latent factors to explain the common variation among multiple observables is implemented. A three-factor model is identified with the factors admitting interpretation as the level, slope and curvature of the term structure of forecasts. The validity of the model is reinforced by assessing the economic value of demand forecasts. It is demonstrated that simple adjustments to long-horizon electricity demand forecasts based on the three estimated factors can enhance the informational content of the official forecasts.
