Authors: Kumar Sheo , Gupta Pratibha
Published: October 2022

Euryale ferox Salisb. is commercially very important plant as it possesses spiritual significance, potent medicinal properties and enhances socio-economical condition of the locality. In India, this plant is grown annually at large scale in 9 districts of North Bihar namely Madhubani, Darbhanga, Katihar, Sitamarhi, Purnea, Kishanganj, Araria, Saharsa and Supaul. However, its cultivation was started in 1998 in neighbouring district Maldah specifically in Harishchandrapur - II Block of Tal area by bringing seeds from Darbangha, Bihar on experimental basis with assistance of the State Government of West Bengal. By 2001, it spread from Harishchandrapur - II Block to Harishchandrapur - I Block followed by Chanchal - II Block in Tal area to Gajol Block in Barind area and to Diara area by 2012. The exponential spread of plant and adoption of cultivation practice in Maldah district has altered the actual agricultural practice of the district and creating ecological imbalances in water bodies resulted in loss of aquatic biodiversity and may lead to health hazard of the associated personnel though the popped makhana is on high pricing and demand. Thus, this article deals with different kinds of impacts and mitigation measures for restoration of water bodies, aquatic biodiversity and welfare of associated manpower for their better livelihood.

In this study, eight samples were analyzed along Al-Abbasia River, where the Water Quality Index and pollution or changes in water quality were studied. The Water Quality Index is a useful and rapid technique for evaluating the quality of any water source. The samples were taken along Al-Abbasia River and on the area basis which influence the river. The physical and chemical parameters (pH, Turbidity, Alkalinity, Electrical Conductivity, Total Disollved Solids, Total Hardness, Ca2+, Total Suspended Solids, Na+, Cl-, K+, SO42-, Mg2+) were evaluated in this study using the Weighted Arithmetic Water Quality Index and Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Water Quality Index methods which shows the extent of pollution. According to Weighted Arithmetic Water Quality Index, the water quality is classified as a poor except for the second sample, where it was classified as a Very poor (according to the standards of the WHO), while according to Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Water Quality Index method, the water of Al-Abbasia river was often classified as a Good, except for the second and forth samples they were classified Fair. This study showed that the main cause of the deterioration of water quality in Al-Abbasia River is the direct discharge of sewage, human activity and harmful residues of pesticides and materials which used in agriculture.

The known mineralization in the Rehamna Massif is essentially vein type and linked to the presence of granitic bodies and pneumatolytic - hydrothermal fluid circulations. This part of western Moroccan Meseta, belongs to the Hercynian belt, was the seat of enormous mining productions mainly base metals during the 20th century. Subsequently, exploitations are ended with artisanal extractions, in relation to exploration decline. The present work aims to search for new favourable mining targets, using gravimetric and remote sensing data. Gravimetric data allowed us to delineate leucogranitic apexes of shallow depth. Data filtering and processing consist of separation between Regional and Residual fields from Bouguer anomaly, then, calculation of horizontal, vertical and tilt derivatives to get different gravity anomalies. A Satellite image is used to obtain structural lineaments of the study region through directional filters (N0°, N45°, N90°, N135°). These treatments, supported by field investigations, enabled us to discriminate potential areas, suitable for tactical mining exploration.

The Upper Cenomanian-Lower Turonian of the Imini-Boutazoult region consists of a limestone containing Mn mineralization-rich beds. In order to demonstrate the relation between the mineralization and the sedimentary context, this study was carried out to analyze the evolution of the paleoenvironments during this interval. In the field, the boundaries that allowed the lithostratigraphic division are continuous and are easily recognizable from one section to another, which contributed to simplifying the subdivisions of the Cenomanian-Turonian lithostratigraphy into three units U1, U2 and U3. All the geological data from the field and the sequential, sedimentological and diagenetic analyses made it possible to elaborate correlative diagrams showing the spatio-temporal evolution as well as paleogeographical sketches during the dolomitic deposits of the Cenomanian-Turonian. The Mn mineralization may be linked to the diagenesis in the vadose zone in a very shallow internal platform. It can also be very belated and strongly linked to karstification with areas supporting the circulation of fresh water (dissolution cavities, dissolved fossils, cracks, fractures.

Published: October 2022

Background: Electrophysiological-related manifestation of COVID-19 is a matter of debate in the literature nowadays. A wide spectrum of arrhythmias was observed among patients who have been infected with COVID-19. Objectives: This study discussed the prevalence of arrhythmias and conduction system disease in patients with COVID-19. Method: In this retrospective study, demographic and electrocardiographic data of 432 expired COVID-19 patients who had been admitted to Faghihi Hospital of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences from August 2020 until December 2020 were reviewed. Results: Atrioventricular nodal block (AVB) was found in 40(9.3%) patients. Furthermore, 28(6.5%) of them suffered from the first degree of AVB, and 12(2.8%) suffered from complete heart block (CHB). Among 189 cases (59.0%) ST-T changes agreed with myocardial infarction or localized myocarditis. Findings of myocardial injury including fragmented QRS and prolonged QTc were observed among 91 (21.1%) and 28 (6.5%) respectively. In victims of COVID-19, conduction disease was not related to any comorbidities. Fragmented QRS, axis deviation, presence of S1Q3T3, and poor R wave progression were significantly related to conduction system abnormalities in victims of COVID-19 (P-value > 0.05) Conclusion: Our findings can serve in future studies that aim to develop a risk stratification method for susceptible COVID-19 patients. The myocardial injury appears to role significantly in COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. Consequently, we recommend health policymakers consider separate catheterization laboratories that provide service only to COVID-19 patients.

Group singing on social prescription: A scoping review
Authors: Helitzer Elizabeth , Clements-Cortes Amy , Moss Hilary
Published: October 2022

The aim of this international scoping review was to assess the evidence of group singing as a form of social prescription. While efforts have grown over the last two decades to catalogue and evaluate the health benefits of arts and cultural activities as part of social prescribing, there has been limited exploration into group singing on social prescription, specifically. Given the growing body of research supporting the health and wellbeing gains of both group singing and social prescribing, this first scoping review is needed and timely.  Published evidence is very limited at the moment, and only nine studies met the eligibility requirements. Identified barriers to wider integration of singing on prescription included lack of formalization of the social prescribing process, challenges solidifying buy-in from general practitioners and other healthcare professionals, difficulties sustaining funding, and shifts to organizational structure resulting in staff changeover and loss of institutional knowledge. Recommendations for future research, wider implementation of singing on social prescription and standardization of evaluation methods are included.

Porter’s Generic Competitive Strategies, Alliance Partnerships and Firm Performance of Mobile Telephone Network Service Providers in Kenya
Authors: Musyoka Margret , Asara Robert , Ombuki Charles
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate on focus strategy, partnership alliances and firm performance of mobile telephone network service providers in Kenya.

Methodology: The study used positivism research philosophy and descriptive research design methodology. The target population was all the 66 mobile telephone network service providers in Kenya. Primary data was gathered through use of structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, correlation and regression modeling was used to aid in data analysis.

Findings: Descriptive analysis portrayed that the 61 mobile telephone network service providers in Kenya registered had increased returns with a composite score of 3.84. Hierarchical regression results portrayed that partnership alliances moderated the relationship between focus strategy and performance of mobile telephone network service providers in Kenya as far as Equity Alliance component is concerned with (p value of .04) which is less than the critical value (.05). Franchises, Diagonal alliances, Focus Strategy, Vertical alliances, Joint Ventures, Equity alliances, and Horizontal alliances had no statistically significant moderating effect.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Generally, firms should consider partnership alliances as a conditional factor in the relationship between focus strategy and firm performance other than treating it as a pure predictor. Further, the management of mobile telephone network service providers in Kenya should consider the extent to which individual components of partnership alliances moderate Porters’ competitive strategies to performance linkage. On the other hand, the current study is possibly the first of its kind in making distinct involvement of strategic management knowledge frontiers. This was achieved through harmonizing and endorsing the hypotheses of the three theories that while Porter’s generic differentiation strategy significantly influence performance of mobile telephone network service providers in Kenya, the moderating effect of alliance partnerships gives a more comprehensive explanation to management as to why many such firms prefer the alliance partnerships instead of an apparent increase in profitability caused by the porter’s strategic moves.  That is, the Resource Based View Theory, syncretic paradigm theory and transaction cost theory have received an empirical support through this study for the theories are relevant to strategic decisions other than the Porters ones which affects the overall business objectives. Therefore, the three theories are significant to the current study since they alert managers to contrast in-house transaction costs with outdoor costs before choosing to execute inside or without.

Published: October 2022

Abstrak: Produksi jagung manis ditingkat petani Indonesia masih sangat rendah. Rendahnya produksi tersebut disebabkan banyaknya kendala yang dihadapi dalam pengusahaan jagung manis, diantaranya kesuburan tanah yang rendah. Kecenderungan petani untuk saat ini menggunakan pupuk anorganik. Pengaruh negatif penggunaan pupuk anorganik adalah kondisi fisik tanah menjadi buruk, hasil panen menurun dari hasil sebelumnya, tanaman menjadi tidak normal pertumbuhannya, meracuni tanah dan mencemari lingkungan, serta berbahaya bagi kesehatan manusia. Alternatif mengatasi pengaruh negatif tersebut yaitu dengan penggunaan pupuk organik. Pupuk ini cenderung mampu meningkatkan jumlah air yang dapat ditahan di dalam tanah dan tersedia bagi tanaman, serta sumber energi bagi jasad mikro. Penelitian ini  terdiri atas dua faktor. Faktor pertama adalah jenis pupuk kandang yang berbeda dan faktor kedua level dosis yang berbeda. Parameter pertumbuhan tanaman yang diamati adalah tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, dan diameter batang, sedangkan parameter produksi yang diamati adalah berat kering brangkasan, jumlah buah dan bobot buah. Hasil aplikasi jenis pupuk kandang ayam dan level dosis 30 ton/ha pada tanaman jagung manis menunjukkan pertumbuhan yang lebih baik, sedangkan produktivitas tertinggi pada perlakukan jenis pupuk kandang burung puyuh dengan level dosis 30 ton/ha.

Demans küresel olarak yaşlanan nüfus ve yaşam beklentisinin artması ile giderek sıklığı artan bir hastalıktır. Demansı olan bireylere yönelik tedavi, bakım, müdahale ve destek için; kültürü de içine alan holistik bakım sağlanması gerekmektedir. Bireyin içinde bulunduğu sosyokültürel faktörlerin grup ve bireysel davranışı etkileyen sembolleri, inançları ve gelenekleri içeren geniş bir kültür kavramsallaştırmasını kapsaması gerekmektedir. Bundan dolayı, demansı olan bir bireyin kişiliğini desteklerken de bu unsurları anlamak çok önemlidir. Hasta J.E.’nin inancı olan Budizm, dünyada fazla sayıda üyesi olan inanışlardan birisidir. Kültürlerarası hemşirelik bakım anlayışına göre; hemşirenin uygulayacağı bakım girişimlerini bakım verdiği hastanın inanışına ve kültürüne uygun olarak uyarlaması gerekmektedir. Bu bağlamda incelenen bu olguda da hemşirelerin Budist hastaya bakım verirken, hastanın temel amacının vücudun hastalık nedeniyle bozulan yin/yang dengesini geri getirmek olduğunu anlamaları gerekmektedir. Yapılan incelemede, ulusal ve uluslararası literatürde demansı olan Budist bireylerde Leininger’ın Gündoğumu Modeli’ni kullanan herhangi bir araştırmaya rastlanmamıştır. Bu olgu sunumu, Leininger’ın Gündoğumu Modeli’ni demansı olan Budist bir kadın hastanın kültürel değerlendirilmesinin kullanımına örnek olarak yapılmıştır.

Background: Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) arises in approximately 7% after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) treatment. Decompressive laparotomy is a satisfactory way to treat ACS. The problem is deciding when to complete abdominal closure with appropriate alternative treatments.[1]

Methods: This is a case report of successful ACS treatment following RAAA intervention at Ho Chi Minh University Hospital of Medicine and Pharmacy with a literature review.

Clinical case: A 61-year-old male patient was hospitalized for abdominal pain. Computed tomography angiography demonstrated RAAA. He underwent the emergency endovascular repair of ruptured aneurysms (rEVAR). At 30 minutes post-intervention, the patient's abdomen was distended following intraabdominal hypertension measured via bladder catheter. Within ACS diagnosing, emergency decompressive laparoscopy was performed. The abdominal wall was left open and covered with a sterile nylon cover. The fascial closure was performed on the sixth postoperative day with the support of vacuum-assisted wound closure (VAC) and mesh-mediated fascial traction. On the 27th postoperative day, the wound could close completely, and the patient could be discharged successfully.

Conclusion: A bladder pressure is required to monitor intraabdominal pressure postoperatively after decompressive laparotomy. Delayed fascial closure is appropriate with supporting VAC until total abdominal closure.

Background: Vascular surgery is a complex procedure with many complications such as surgical site infections, graft infections, pneumonia, myocardial infarction, hemorrhage, and thromboembolism or thrombosis, in which, the most common complications are surgical site infection, and graft infection. Currently, antibiotic prophylaxis is considered the most effective practice to suppress surgical site infection in surgical procedures including vascular surgery. The aim of this paper is to review the surgical site infection and prophylactic antibiotics in vascular surgery.[1]

Method: A search was made by using Medline, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases, and databases of journals in Vietnam.

Result: 1227 records were identified, of which 112 were included in this review. This included 90 researches, and 22 guidelines.

Conclusion: In vascular surgery, antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended in most guidelines for abdominal aortic surgery, lower limb vascular surgery, vascular surgery with prosthetic grafts or stents. The common antibiotic regimens are 1st generation cephalosporins – C1G (cefazolin), 2nd generation cephalosporins – C2G (cefuroxim) administrated 60 minutes before incision, and discontinued within 24 hours of surgery.

Summary: Background: More than 10,000 patients are diagnosed with malignant tumors of the intestine, pancreas, esophagus and stomach in the Czech Republic each year. A significant proportion of patients relapse or are primary diagnosed at a locally advanced inoperable or metastatic stage. The prognosis of these patients can be influenced by oncological treatment and in many cases also by surgical, endoscopic or radiological intervention. Methods: The article summarizes treatment options of patients with advanced or metastatic malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract from the perspective of oncologist and surgeon in order to present oncological data on prognosis of patients and surgical methods of treatment to other members of the multidisciplinary team. Endoscopic methods are consulted with gastroenterologist. Results: The importance of surgery is not the same for all mentioned cancer types and it is influenced by many variables. The highest benefit of the surgical treatment has resection of liver metastases of colorectal cancer, on the other hand, surgery has only limited palliative impact in pancreatic cancer patients. Conclusions: A multimodal approach to the treatment of tumors of the gastrointestinal tract offers the inclusion of surgical treatment at the present time even where it was not routinely recommended in the past. The condition for the correct indication of surgery is a multidisciplinary assessment of each individual patient. Key words: colorectal cancer – pancreatic cancer – esophageal cancer – stomach cancer – GIT malignancies – relapses – surgergical procedures

Newspapers provide coverage of a country's economy, sports, games, entertainment, trade, and commerce. Reading the newspaper would be an excellent ritual to develop, It has already become a part of everyday life. This habit will enhance your knowledge and broaden your horizons. We can learn about the current condition of any incident by reading the newspaper, in order to learn more about it and pique the readers' curiosity, In order to assist enthusiastic readers an augmented reality application is the better solution. By incorporating a digital aspect into the printed material, it helps to bring the content of the magazine to life. It allows users to view a video, animation, or other unexpected content that appears on a page of their newspaper. When an augmented reality program and the camera software on a Smartphone or tablet work together, the illusion is generated. In order for the illusion to operate, the newspaper must be viewed through the mobile device's camera. So, a typical physical newspaper is taken and augmented reality objects can be used to increase the variety of information it gives, such as buttons to movies, links, YouTube, 3D models, and so on. The augmented reality is combined with the newspaper here. Using a marker, write: When you display markers in augmented reality, a computer identifies them and projects objects over them. You need a newspaper with a marker and a smartphone with a non-standalone application that recognizes the marker. It could be a newspaper image or a QR code. Integrating the traditional method AR experience is one of the best methods for print media to stand out from the crowd. In this work, the Vuforia Engine tool and Augmented Reality Tools are studied to design and develop a newspaper with Augmented Reality to improve user Usability..
Heavy Metal Removal Efficiency of Tulsi (Ocimum Sanctum) from Water – A Review
Authors: Meena Chakraborty
Published: October 2022

Presence of heavy metal concentration in water is generally resulting from industrial pollution. Certain amount of some metals in water is good for human health but their elevated concentration in water is toxic for us as it causes irreversible damage to the organs. Therefore it is essential to monitor concentration of metals in water and to adopt proper mitigation measures to remove their excess concentration. Adsorption is one of the economic and environmental friendly methods to remove metal contamination from water and many bioadsorbents are used for the purpose. This review will focus on ability of a medicinal plant Tulsi (Ocimum Sanctum) to remove heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, Fe, Cu, Zn) from water.

Published: October 2022

This paper discusses the computational complexity of the quay crane scheduling problem (QCSP) in a maritime port. To prove that a problem is NP-complete, there should be no polynomial time algorithm for the exact solution, and only heuristic approaches are used to obtain near-optimal solutions but in reasonable time complexity. To address this, first we formulate the QCSP as a mixed integer linear programming to solve it to optimal, and next we theoretically prove that the examined problem is NP-complete.

In recent years, we have seen a huge increase in air conditioning usage [4]. However, much of this energy put into air conditioning is being wasted, which contributes to a far less environmentally friendly world and is inconvenient for many [5][6]. This paper develops a smart vent and a mobile app to regulate temperatures in different rooms of a home to create an efficient solution to save energy. This conservation of energy allows both the environment to be preserved as well as the financial burden of families in need to be alleviated. Controlled studies of the system provide evidence of the system's automated ability to be energy efficient.
