Background: Pesticide poisoning is a major problem worldwide. The incidence of aluminium phosphide poisoning has increased over decades. Phosphine, active form, binds cytochrome oxidase, induces oxidative stress with release of free oxygen radicals, lipid peroxidation, resulting acute inflammation leads to alteration of various haematological/biochemical parameters, including total leucocyte count (TLC). Objectives: 1.To study TLC in aluminium phosphide poisoning 2.To study severity of toxicity in relation to TLC 3.To study in-hospital mortality in relation to TLC Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study with sample size of 65. In-patients with aluminium phosphide poisoning attending Medicine Department in KR Hospital, Mysuru were studied. The parameters like complete hemogram including TLC, liver/renal function tests, electrolytes, electrocardiogram were assessed and correlated. With a confidence interval of 95%, level of significance was kept at 5% Results: Of the 65 subjects, mean age was 34.11 Â±11.55 years and mean TLC was 10467.5 Â±2991.2 . Subjects were categorised into non-severe(29%), severe(26%) and death(45%) groups. Mean TLC in non severe(8140.7Â±2445.9), severe(10980.3Â± 2471.1) and death(11691.4 Â±2780.4). A high TLC was found in 15.8% non-severe, 41.2% severe and 69% death cases. A significant positive correlation of TLC with severity of toxicity and mortality of aluminium phosphide poisoning was obtained (p<0.005). Conclusion: Total leucocyte count can be used as one of the easily available cost effective predictive variable to assess the outcome of aluminium phosphide poisoning.

Introduction: The Pap smears study is the most rampant and cost-effective method for cervical cancer screening. The role of micronuclei in exfoliated cells of pap smears is the greater beneficial tool used in the screening of cervical cancers. They are intracytoplasmic inclusions made up of chromatin fragments that suggest instability in the chromosomes and they are found in great numbers in carcinogen-exposed tissues long before any clinical signs occur. Aims: To evaluate the predominance of Micronuclei as a biomarker in various premalignant and malignant lesions of cervixand to explore the association between various grades of cervical lesions and micronuclei frequency. Materials &Methods:A prospective study was done in the cytopathology section on 250 cervical pap smears collected in the Pathology laboratoryRajarajeswari medical college, Bangalore. The study period was from January 2021 to June 2021. Slides containing the cell material were stained with Papanicolaou stain, The results were analyzed as per the Micronuclei Scoring done per 1000 exfoliated squamous cells under light microscopy Results: In this study of 250 cervical pap smear screening, there was a stepwise gradual increase in micronuclei count(MN score)from Inflammatory lesions to carcinoma cervix. Inflammatory 2.04 Â± 0.43, Atypicalsquamous cells of undetermined significance 3.9 Â± 1.73, Atypical squamous cells - High grade5.64 Â±1.83,Low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion 7.68 Â±1.48, High grade squamous intraepithelial lesion08 12.32 Â± 2.68and Intraepithelial Carcinoma 18.60 Â± 2.83. Conclusion: MN scoring on cervix squamous epithelial cells is a simple and reliable objective test that may be performed on routine Pap-stained smears and can be used as adjunctive to the screening of cervical cancers and provide a potential pathway for disease monitoring in the future.

Aim:Comparison of dexmedetomidine and clonidine as additive when given separately, premixed with 0.25% ropivacaine in pediatric caudal block,on intra operative anesthetic/ analgesic drug requirement and duration of post operative analgesia in hypospadias repair surgeries. Methods and Materials:Children,whose parents or guardians,were willing to give consent and fulfilled inclusion criteria were selected for the study.Thepatients were randomly allocated, by double blinding into two groups. Group RD received 0.25% ropivacaine 1 ml/kg +2Âµg/kg dexmedetomidine (in 0.5 ml volume).Group RC received 1 ml/kg of 0.25% ropivacaine + 1 Âµg/kg of clonidine (in 0.5 ml volume). Results:Mean age of patients receiving dexmedetomidine and clonidine was 3.20Â±1.821 and 4.47Â±1.727 years respectively. No significant difference was obtained in terms of mean age.Blood pressure,Heart rate and Saturation was maintained by both dexmedetomidine and clonidine similarly as revealed by the insignificant p value of >0.05 across the time points during hypospadias repair surgeries.Requirement of adjuvant analgesics intraoperativery and post operative complicationsand was found to be similar in both the groups as revealed by the insignificant P value of 0.309. Time for rescue analgesic postoperatively (min) was significantly (p<0.001) longer among patients receiving dexmedetomidine (706.73Â±107.428) than clonidine (504.33Â±97.573). Conclusion:We observed that a single caudal injection of dexmedetomidine (2Âµg/kg) added to ropivacaine 0.25% offers an advantage over a similar injection of clonidine (1Âµg/kg) added to ropivacaine 0.25% for postoperative pain relief in children undergoing hypospadias repair surgeries without increase in post operative complications.

Obesity is a major health issue worldwide that affects greater than 20% of the people in the world. In Saudi Arabia, more than 34% of the population is considered obese, and more than 69% is considered overweight. Compounding this problem, according to a presentation at the 3rd International Obesity Conference in February 2014, it is asserted that obesity-related surgeries are not covered under Saudi healthcare. Thus, our study aims at 1. Understanding the knowledge of surgical options in the treatment of obesity among the general adult population. 2. Assessing the attitude of surgical options in the treatment of obesity within the adult population. 3. Measuring the practice of surgical options in the treatment of obesity among the general adult population. Methods: A randomized cross-sectional study was conducted among the adult Saudi population from different regions of Saudi Arabia. After endorsement of the ethical committee of the faculty of medicine, the data were gathered using a specifically designed self-administered electronic questionnaire translated to Arabic with close-ended multiple-choice questions to assess awareness, attitudes, and background information about sleeve gastrectomy in the treatment of obesity among the general adult population. Results: More than half of the study respondents were females, while the rest were males. While the majority (65.1%) came from the central area, only about 14.1% of the study respondents would consider weight reduction surgery as the first method of reducing weight.Only 9.2% of the study respondents felt like weight loss surgery is effective enough in the decrease of weight, while 45.3% did not agree, and the rest did not know.There was a significant association between the efficiency of surgery and the age group at 5% p=.003. Knowledge about obesity being a disease is significantly associated with p=.000.

Synthetic dyes are considered harmful compounds to the environment even in slight quantities. Low-cost natural adsorbents have been proven helpful for water treatment. In the current research, Lupine peel was used in inactivated (IL) and activated (AL) forms to remove Basic Fuchsin (BF) and Eosin (E) dyes from aqueous media. Adsorbents have been evaluated by FTIR and SEM. The operational settings, including the solutions pH, adsorbent dosage & size, initial dye concentration, temperature & contact time were all controlled in a batch system. According to experimental outcomes, the adsorption procedure occurs quickly & naturally. A pseudo-2nd-order kinetic model gives the best fit to the experimental information of BF & E dyes adsorption onto IL and AL. Adsorption isotherm data of BF adsorption was fitted well to the Freundlich model, while E adsorption was well fitted to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Optimal adsorption capacities of 1.5344, 2.9913, 0.7983, and 1.0921 mg/g for BF and E adsorption onto IL and AL respectively. According to the (D-R) isotherm model, the values of E were 0.5, 2.357, 0.05, and 0.0707 KJ/mol for BF and E onto IL and AL respectively, indicating a physisorption process. The activation parameters (âˆ†Go, âˆ†Ho, âˆ†So) were calculated. The adsorption was endothermic and spontaneous with a higher preference of BF than E onto AL and IL. The findings indicate that the lupine peel has the potential to function as a low-cost adsorbent for the elimination of BF & E dyes from aqueous solutions.

Drought, cold, excessive salt, and heat are key abiotic factors limiting global food crop yields. Due to the multigenic nature of tolerance to stress, traditional cultivating plant techniques for improving agricultural tolerance to abiotic stress have had little effectiveness.Plants are regularly exposed to unfavorable environments such as abiotic stresses, which significantly influence yield determination and the distribution of distinct plant species in various situations. Plants respond to adversity by activating enzymes, creating intricate gene linkages, and engaging with molecular processes.In contrast, plant tolerance to heat stress is mediated by several processes and genes that can be directly introgressed into high-yielding modern crop cultivars. The important issue here is identifying the metabolic and cellular pathways damaged because of heat stress find methods to decrease the detrimental impacts on crop productivity.

Depression is a prevalent mental illness. According to estimates, 5 percent of adults worldwide experience depression. Depression affects more women than males. Oxaprozin is a non-narcotic, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID) used to treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis-related inflammation, edoema, stiffness, and joint discomfort. The present study is based on the evaluation of antidepressant and anxiolytic activity of oxaprozin in Swiss albino (either sex) weight 20-25 gm were procured from ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute (ICAR-IVRI), Izzat nagar, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. All the mice were divided into 4 groups (n=6) i.e., normal control which was given normal saline, positive control given Imipramine (10mg/kg, i.p.) and diazepam (10mg/kg, subcutaneously), test 1given oxaprozin(10mg/kg, p.o.) and test 2 given Oxaprozin (20mg/kg, p.o.) up to 7 days. The anxiolytic and antidepressant activity were evaluated by parameters i.e., elevated plus maze, FST, rota-rod test and biochemical parameters. It resulted that oxaprozin demonstrates anxiolytic and antidepressant activity. It exhibits antidepressant action probably by facilitating the release of neurotransmitters i. e., serotonin, dopamine. It also increases the release of GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid) and chloride ions influx that leads to hyperpolarization .In conclusion, Oxaprozin is a predominant anxiolytic & anti-depressant drug. It can be effectively used in the treatment of depression, mental agitation and other neurological disorders after successfully evaluating mechanism of action against the same.This study refers, that it might be used in the treatment of depression among human beings after clinical trials.

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a necrotizing vasculitis of small vessels, which is part of the anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitides. It evolves through a prodromal phase characterized by allergic manifestations, followed by blood and tissue hypereosinophilia contributing to visceral infiltration. Finally, the necrotizing vasculitis phase explains the systemic manifestations occurring several years after the prodromal phase. Hemorrhagic rectocolitis (UC) belongs to the chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).the inflammation typically begins in the rectum and spreads proximally and continuously to affect a variable extent of the colon. It most often evolves in flare-ups interspersed with remissions.The coexistence of ANCA-associated vasculitis and IBD is a rare condition that is rarely described in the literature. We report a new case of association of IBD and GEPA.

A 5.5 years old Holstein Friesian crossbred cattle was presented with a history of traumatic injury by barbed metallic wire on right fore-teat six hours before. Clinical examination revealed full-thickness, bilateral, longitudinal laceration of the same teat, extending from base of the teat to the distal teat orifice with leakage of milk. Prompt reconstructive surgery was performed under sedation and local anesthesia to repair the laceration. The closure of the teat cistern was performed by suturing the laceration in three layers.Post-operative care included intra-mammary and systemicantibiotic therapy with NSAID for five consecutive days along with daily antiseptic dressing of the wound and regular drainage of milk via the fixed infant feeding tube in the teat cistern. The animal had shown uneventful recovery without any complication with removal of skin sutures on 10th post-operative day and started hand milking from the same teat on 20th post-operative day.

Aims : We aimed at studying the clinical aspects and the maternal and perinatal prognostics during trial of labor at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Unit. Patients and Methods : This is a transversal and Descriptive study over a period of 06 months from 1 st May to 30 th October 2016 in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Unit of the SourÃ´Sanou University Hospital (CHUSS). The data were collected and analyzed by the software Epi info version 3.4.5. Results : During the period of study, 109 cases of trial of labor for a total of 2124 births were registered, with an overall frequency of 5.13%. The average age of the patients was 26.6 years. In 42.2% of cases, the patients were primiparious . Admission was direct in 85.5% of cases. The coverage rate for prenatal consultation was 100%. There was vaginal delivery for 108 patients, ie a success rate of 99.08% for trial of labor. An episiotomy was performed in 18.34% of those who delivered vaginally with a labor time less than 3 hours in 65.13% of cases. The indication of the cesarean section during the failure of the trial of labor was dominated by acute fetal distress in 0.91% of cases. Among the 14 patients who had complications during the postpartum period, 06 cases of postpartum hemorrhage of 22.85%, were noted, but did not occasion any maternal death. We registered 109 newborns including 106 alive (97.2%), 10 fresh stillborn, 02 perinatal deaths and 01 macerated stillborn. Among the 13 cases of perinatal morbidity, infections, neonatal suffering and hypotrophy were largely dominant with 5.5%, 38, and 5.34% of the cases. Conclusion : The results of our study (99.08% of success) argue in favor of vaginal delivery after uterine scar, with little risk related to this scar when the pregnancies are followed closely. Indeed, with a normal and careful obstetric monitoring, a scarred uterus after one segmental cesarean section must be considered as a normal uterus that can allow the woman to deliver simply without her being exposed to any particular risk of uterine rupture.

Every country in the world needs to report its fish production to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) every year. In 2018, Indonesia ranked top five countries in fish production, with 8 million tons globally. Although it ranks top five, the fisheries in Indonesia are mostly dominated by traditional and small industries. Hence, a solution based on computer vision is needed to help detect and classify the fish caught every year. The research presents a method to detect and classify fish on mobile devices using the YOLOv3 model combined with ResNet18 as a backbone. For the experiment, the dataset used is four types of fish gathered from scraping across the Internet and taken from local markets and harbors with a total of 4,000 images. In comparison, two models are used: SSD-VGG and autogenerated model Huawei ExeML. The results show that the YOLOv3-ResNet18 model produces 98.45% accuracy in training and 98.15% in evaluation. The model is also tested on mobile devices and produces a speed of 2,115 ms on Huawei P40 and 3,571 ms on Realme 7. It can be concluded that the research presents a smaller-size model which is suitable for mobile devices while maintaining good accuracy and precision.

Traffic accidents often occur at night. It is understandable, since at night, people have low visibility. Many efforts to develop tools to detect nearby vehicles to avoid crashes have been reported. However, most of them worked only on detecting cars. The research aims to detect motorcycles at night, to complement the previous studies, which mainly focused on cars. The research introduces four features which are extracted from the red pixel and edge map. The algorithm to extract the features has also been developed. They are applied to three commonly used classifiers: Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Decision Tree, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers to validate the effectiveness of the features. Since the public dataset related to the research is not available yet, the nighttime videos from YouTube have been collected. The datasets contain all the various levels of darkness. They are divided into an 80-20 ratio for training and testing sets to support the experiment and measure the validity of the proposed method. As the best result, the detection using ANN can detect motorcycle proposals with accuracy of 72.71%, precision of 65.10% and recall of 73.33%. Furthermore, during the experiment, the classification can perform consistently in 0.04 seconds per image. Therefore, the method is suitable for use in a real-time system.

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) nowadays mostly uses physical contact, such as people using the mouse to choose something in an application. However, there are certain problems that people face in using conventional HCI. The research tries to overcome some problems when people use conventional HCI using the computer vision method. The research focuses on creating and evaluating the object detection model for classifying hand symbols. The research applies the fifth version of YOLO with the architecture of YOLOv5m to classify hand symbols in real time. The methods are divided into three steps. Those steps are dataset creation consisting of 100 images in each class, training phase, and performance evaluation of the model. The hand gesture classes made in the research are ‘ok’, ‘cancel’, ‘previous’, ‘next’, and ‘confirm’, the dataset is made by the researchers custom. After the training phase, the validation results show 93% for accuracy, 99% for precision, 100% for recall, and 99% for F1 score. Meanwhile, in real-time detection, the performance of the model for classifying hand symbols is 80% for accuracy, 95% for precision, 84% for recall, and 89% for F1 score. Although there are differences, it still acceptable for the research and can be improved in future research.
Perkembangan Model Data Temporal serta Implementasinya pada Database Management Systems
Authors: Supria Supria
Published: June 2023

This essay examines how temporal data models are created and how they are integrated into database management systems. The well-known Relational Data Model’s extension, the Temporal Relational Data Model, is discussed. The application of this temporal data model in database management systems is also researched. The Historical Relational Data Model adds timestamps to attributes, and the Temporal Relational Model adds timestamps to tuples. These two approaches make up the temporal data model. It has become apparent via the implementation of this temporal data model that not all temporal data ideas are applicable to database management systems. IBM DB2 has explicitly integrated the idea of time stamps, but not the idea of PERIOD data type. While Teradata has implemented the PERIOD data type, but has not yet implemented the concept of explicit timestamps.

Cervical cancer is one of the most successful types of treatment when diagnosed early. In this study, it is aimed to find and classify the disease with data mining methods on the digitized data set obtained as a result of the pap-smear test. Two-stage architecture has been proposed for the diagnosis of cervical cancer. In the first stage of the study, missing data were extracted from the used dataset, and in the second stage, a new dataset was obtained by using the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) algorithm to balance the target classes in the dataset. By applying the majority voting (MV) method to the dataset used in the study, the structure with 4 target variables was reduced to a single target variable. On two data sets, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Decision Trees (DT), Random Forest (RF), and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithms from data mining methods were used for the diagnosis of cervical cancer. The results obtained from the original dataset and the dataset produced with Smote were compared. ANN is the best method evaluated according to classification success and F-score, and the major voted target variable in the balanced data group produced with the Smote algorithm gave the most successful result. The experimental results showed that the use of MV and SMOTE algorithms together increased the classification success from 93% to 99%.

Authors: PACAL Ishak
Published: June 2023

Son yıllarda ortaya çıkan yeni tip Koronavirüs hastalığı (COVID-19), dünya çapında sağlığı tehdit eden ciddi bir hastalık olmuştur. COVID-19 çok hızlı bir şekilde bulaşabilen ve ciddi ölüm artışları ile birçok endişeye zemin hazırlamıştır. Salgının evrensel boyuta taşınmasıyla bu hastalığın erken teşhisine yönelik birçok çalışma yapılmıştır. Erken teşhis ile hem ölümcül vakaların önüne geçilmiş olunmakta hem de salgının planlanması daha kolay olabilmektedir. X-ışını görüntülerinin zaman ve uygulanabilirlik açısından diğer görüntüleme tekniklerine nazaran çok daha avantajlı olması ve ayrıca ekonomik olması erken teşhis bazlı uygulama ve yöntemlerin bu görüntülerin üzerine yoğunlaşmasına neden olmuştur. Derin öğrenme yaklaşımları birçok hastalık teşhisinde olduğu gibi COVID-19 teşhisinde de çok büyük bir etki oluşturmuştur. Bu çalışmada, derin öğrenmenin CNN tabanlı yaklaşımları gibi daha önceki tekniklerinden ziyade en güncel ve çok daha popüler bir mimarisi olan transformatör yöntemine dayalı bir teşhis sistemi önerdik. Bu sistem, görü transformatör modelleri temelli bir yaklaşım ve yeni bir veri seti olan COVID-QU-Ex üzerinde COVID-19 hastalığının daha efektif bir teşhisini içermektedir. Deneysel çalışmalarda, görü transformatör modellerinin CNN modellerinden daha başarılı olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca, ViT-L16 modeli %96’nın üzerinde test doğruluğu ve F1-skoru sunarak, literatürde benzer çalışmalara kıyasla çok daha yüksek bir başarım göstermiştir.
Selenyum Katkılı Çinko Oksit'in Yapısal ve Elektronik Özelliklerinin Teorik İncelenmesi
Authors: ÇELİK Veysel
Published: June 2023

Sahip olduğu elektronik özelliklerden dolayı Çinko Oksit (ZnO) yeni nesil güneş pillerinde kullanılan önemli malzemelerdendir. Ancak saf ZnO’nun güneşten gelen ışınlar ile çalışma veriminin arttırılması gerekmektedir. Yabancı atomlar ile katkılama bu anlamda önemli tekniklerden biridir. Bu çalışmada ZnO kristalinin Se atomu ile katkılanması teorik olarak incelenmiştir. Hesaplamalarda yoğunluk fonksiyoneli teorisi (YFT) kullanıldı. Ancak teorinin bilinen hatalarını düzeltmek için hesaplamalarda YFT+U düzeltmesi yapıldı. Bu metot ile saf ZnO’nun bant aralığı 3.27 eV değerinde hesaplandı. Bu değer deneysel değer olan 3.44 eV değerine yakındır. Se atomu kristal yapı içerisinde yerel bozulmalara yol açmaktadır. Ancak bu bozulmalar ZnO kristalinin karakteristik özelliklerini kayda değer değiştirmemektedir. Se ile katkılama esas olarak elektronik yapıda değişime yol açmaktadır. Daha fazla değerlik elektronuna sahip Se ile Zn atomu yer değiştirdiğinde bant aralığında, valans bant maksimumunun üzerinde safsızlıktan kaynaklanan iki dolu enerji seviyesi oluşmaktadır. Oluşan bu enerji seviyeleri ZnO’nun görünür bölgedeki ışığın absorpsiyonu aktivitesini artırmaktadır. Elde edilen diğer bir önemli veri ise Se katkılı ZnO kristalinde oksijen eksikliğinin olmasının görünür bölgedeki absorpsiyon aktivitesini olumlu yönde etkilemesidir.
