Experimental Studies on Paver Block Concrete using Granite and Kota Stone Waste with Environmental effects on Strength
Authors: Goutam Ravi , Singh Yuvraj
Published: July 2024

The need to address the worldwide demand for the preservation of limited resources has prompted the exploration of alternate materials. The application of waste materials in the concrete sector is experiencing a growing trend due to its potential to mitigate costs and minimize environmental repercussions. This study aims to assess the appropriateness of utilizing waste materials from granite and Kota stone for the production of interlocking concrete paver blocks (ICPB). The current study examines the potential use of waste materials from granite and Kota stone as substitutes for natural aggregates in the production of concrete interlocking paving blocks. The focus is on applications that cater to pedestrians and non-traffic scenarios. Concrete blocks of M30-grade were cast for this study. The replacement percentages were ranged from 0% to 100% for Kota stone as coarse aggregates and from 0% to 40% for granite waste as fine aggregates and total of 543 samples were cast using the replacement level. The mix proportion ratio used was 1:1.57:2.76 (cement: sand: aggregates) while continuing a constant water-cement ratio of 0.45. Weathered Kota stone waste (0, 25, 50, 75, 100%) was also used as anauxiliary for coarse aggregates in M30-grade concrete. The tests conducted covered the physical characterization of the constituent materials, determination of compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, abrasion resistance, and water absorption tendency for both hardened concrete blocks and I-shaped interlocking pavers. The result indicates that while using stone waste (granite and Kota stone), the required compressive strength was achieved up to a replacement level of 100% Kota stone and 5% granite waste. Flexural strength and splitting tensile strength were also satisfactory at all replacement ratios, along with normal water absorption and minimum abrasion. Paver blocks were also cast from waste stones at various replacement levels. In this study, concrete blocks were also cast using weathered Kota stone waste, which also provided sufficient strength at some level of replacement. The findings suggest that waste stone may be a viable option for manufacturing interlocking pavers, contributing to the development of an environmentally conscious and sustainable pavement infrastructure.

Authors: Singh Prabhdial , Srivastava Abhishek , Tyagi Anuj
Published: July 2024

An outdoor feeding trial (120 days) was carried out in FRP pools (1.5 × 1.0 × 0.75 m) to evaluate the efficacy of dietary incorporation of kinnow peel powder (KPP) on the health status of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) fingerlings. Healthy fingerlings (av. length 9.19 cm, and av. weight 10.51 g) were stocked in five feeding treatments @ 15 nos./tank following a complete randomized design with three replicates for each treatment and daily fed with five iso-proteinous experimental feeds containing KPP at 0 (KPP0), 0.5 (KPP1), 1.0 (KPP2), 1.50 (KPP3) and 2.0% (KPP4) inclusion levels @ 2% of fish body weight. The results demonstrated that the water quality parameters remained within the optimum/permissible limit for freshwater carps in all the treatments. Further, KPP supplementation improved the haematological indices (total erythrocyte count, total leucocyte count, haemoglobin and haematocrit) and immunological parameters (serum total protein, Albumin (A), globulin (G) and A: G ratio) of fish at all the inclusion levels in respect to control, while the best (P0.05) findings observed at 1.5% KPP inclusion level. Additionally, in comparison with the control group, KPP supplementation decreased the glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, lipid peroxidation level, being lowest (P0.05) in KPP3, while increased the superoxide dismutase activity and recorded highest (P0.05) in KPP3 group. The results revealed that KPP can be potentially utilized as health promoting natural feed additive at a 1.5 % inclusion level to improve the overall health condition of C. carpio fingerlings.

Published: July 2024

Exploring the genetic potential of chickpeas is imperative for strategic parent selection, targeted hybridization, and effective trait integration, resulting in development of resilient and high-yielding varieties. Hence, the current study aims to uncover the genetic potential and character associations of advanced breeding lines in chickpea, conducted at the Seed Breeding Farm, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, JNKVV, Jabalpur during the rabi season of 2021-22. The assessment of forty advanced chickpea breeding lines encompassed an analysis of genetic parameters, correlation, and path coefficients. The findings unveiled that, across all observed traits, the phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV %) exceeded the genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV %). The examination of genetic potential, utilizing phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variability, heritability, genetic advance, and genetic gain, demonstrates a significant degree of variability within the genotypes for traits including total number of pods per plant, number of effective pods per plant, biological yield per plant, and seed yield per plant. The seed yield per plant exhibited high positive and direct effect and significant positive correlation with biological yield per plant and total number of pods per plant. Consequently, prioritizing these traits in future breeding programs could lead to the development of chickpea varieties with enhanced yield potential.

Published: July 2024

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain one of the most crucial burdens for public health. Specifically, for women, CVDs have a devastating effect on prognosis and mortality, which tends to become more severe, due to lack of knowledge and low awareness by healthcare professionals and general populations. Position statements by organizations and regulatory bodies recognize the fact that women have worse outcomes when it comes to their cardiovascular health, compared to men, and emphasize the urgent need that this issue needs to be addressed. Even though, general guidelines and recommendations have been launched, gender-specific ones are scarce, due to the very low number of women participants in clinical trials and scientific research. The present work aims to display a summary of position statements of official and scientific organizations concerning the cardiovascular diseases’ impact on women’s health, as well as existing guidelines and proposed future initiatives.

Authors: Park Hyun-Min , Park Gi-Beom , Yoo Bong-Goo
Published: July 2024

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a genetic syndrome that presents as a vasculopathy or dementia caused by a mutation in the NOTCH3 protein. Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has rarely been reported in association with CADASIL. A 68-year-old Korean woman was admitted to our hospital because of sudden onset of dysarthria, headache and left hemiplegia. She was diagnosed with CADASIL three years ago. She had been taking cilostazol 100 mg daily for a year because of dizziness and gait ataxia. Brain CT revealed hyperacute intracerebral hemorrhage in the right basal ganglia with spot sign. Cilostazol may trigger the development of ICH in CADASIL. Careful risk-benefit assessment is required before prescribing antiplatelet agents for patients with CADASIL.

Este artigo é síntese do Trabalho de Conclusão de Residência intitulado de “Pelejas da perspectiva da Educação Popular nas Experiências de Educação em Saúde no cotidiano da Residência Multiprofissional em Atenção Básica da EMCM/UFRN”, apresentado ao Programa de Residência Multiprofissional em Atenção Básica, da Escola Multicampi de Ciências Médicas (EMCM) da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), turma 2022-2024. Trata-se de um relato de experiência com recorte temporal dos dois referidos anos. Tem como ponto de partida a distância percebida entre as atividades educativas realizadas no setor Saúde e a perspectiva da Educação Popular em Saúde. Objetiva realizar um diálogo aproximativo e crítico entre a perspectiva da Educação Popular e a Educação em Saúde, por meio do registro e análise das ações e atividades diversas de Educação em Saúde realizadas ou articuladas por uma equipe de profissionais residentes do Programa de Residência em pauta e direcionadas a usuários(as) da Atenção Básica do Sistema Único de Saúde, em Currais Novos-RN. Para tanto, teve como principal instrumento o Diário de Campo. Conclui-se que atividades e ações em Educação em Saúde são realizadas quase que em tempo integral nos serviços de Atenção Básica de Saúde do Sistema Único de Saúde. Nas pelejas para aproximar mais a Educação Popular das práticas de Educação em Saúde, no lócus aqui em pauta, foi possível que princípios, valores e caminhos metodológicos que perpassam à Educação Popular estivessem presentes na execução das atividades e ações de Educação em Saúde, mas não no planejamento. Com isso, pode-se refletir acerca da importância da sistematização e reflexão crítica das práticas na área da Saúde Pública, pois só foi possível perceber a lacuna quanto ao não-uso da Educação Popular para o planejamento das ações de Educação em Saúde durante a escrita desse trabalho, quando já tratava-se de finalização da referida turma de residência, logo, das atividades de Educação em Saúde articuladas por ela.

D’après ou après l’antique? L’“Hermès” et “L’Amérique” d’André Chénier ou l’épopée au risque de la philosophie
Authors: Ambrus Gauthier
Published: July 2024

Poète du retour à l’antique qui investit l’Europe à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, André Chénier est aussi l’auteur de deux épopées «modernes», l’Hermès et L’Amérique, où il voyait son entreprise majeure. Sous sa plume, l’épique devient une exploration du savoir, sans se confondre pour autant avec la poésie didactique. Porteuses d’une visée philosophique héritée des Lumières, les deux œuvres déplacent les frontières du genre, en redéfinissant potentiellement ses contenus et ses codes. Potentiellement, puisqu’elles sont restées l’une et l’autre à l’état de chantier, preuve s’il en est des contradictions où elles sont enserrées, ce qui les rendait peut-être irréalisables. En effet, si l’objectif du poète est résolument moderne, la référence aux textes de l’Antiquité reste incontournable à ses yeux, comme modèles génériques et sources d’inspiration dont les modernes ne laissent pas d’être tributaires. L’épopée antique se prête-t-elle à définir l’épos auquel la modernité aspire?

Published: July 2024

Erythrocyte aggregation is considering an essential physiological phenomenon in blood circulation, the interaction of lasers with biomaterials like blood is a crucial topic of study. It is a fundamental property of healthy blood that is crucial to the cardiovascular system. Evaluation of the vital processes of blood microscopically and in laboratory by examining the packed cell volume and erythrocyte sedimentation rate upon exposure to laser radiation for three different times. The study included 15 healthy people. Microscopic examination, packed cell volume and erythrocyte sedimentation rate methods was used during the period of examination the red blood cells and exposure of them to laser radiation for two different periods of time, recording the results after all period of time and comparing them with the control group. In this study, the effect of radiation on packed cell volume and erythrocyte sedimentation rate was observed. In terms of viscosity speed and deposition for different periods of time, it was observed that when packed cell volume are exposed to radiation for a certain period of time (10 minutes), their values will decrease as a result of the amount of radiation generated against them, and this decrease increases when the time period increases (15 minutes) .While the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is is inversely proportional to PCV, there is an increase in the erythrocyte sedimentation rate when exposed to radiation. While the microscopic examination has shown that various deformability values have varying impacts on the degree of aggregation when the radiation duration increases over long periods, which therefore has an impact on deposition. The blood is affected when exposed to large amounts of radiation or any external conditions, which lead to the emergence of problems that may negatively affect the various functions of the blood. Therefore, knowing the type of radiation and concentration are very important to know these effects. Preferred from researchers to do more research on the effect of radiation on various blood functions

Prediction of Traffic Flow in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks using Optimized Based-Neural Network
Authors: Ibrahim Turki Ahmed
Published: July 2024

Traffic flow prediction is crucial for managing traffic, reducing pollution, ensuring public safety, and is a vital element of Intelligent Transportation Systems. Furthermore, the variables that influence traffic patterns (such as public events, road closures, and accidents) are predominantly unforeseen, rendering the prediction of traffic flow an intricate undertaking.   The objective of this research is to enhance the accuracy of traffic flow forecast by employing a novel strategy that utilizes feedforward Neural-Networks and the Quasi-Newton method for optimization. The proposed strategy decreases the error factor based on the Lagrange multiplier and Jacobian vector. This enhancement has resulted in expedited convergence throughout the process of learning.   The sample was chosen using datasets provided by the Traffic Monitoring System, specifically from Highway England, Performance Measurement System, and Maryland 511, for the year 2023. In order to assess the proposed model, the research outcomes are juxtaposed with other established prediction methodologies. The study revealed that the research model that was established performed better than previous prediction strategies based on measures of mean absolute error and root mean squared error.

This review of the literature delves into the complex interplay between energy measures and decision-making processes in the domains of fuzzy graphs, intuitionistic fuzzy graphs, and neutrosophic graphs. In graph theory, energy is a key quantity that is used to measure structural properties and evaluate decision model dynamics. The research methodically examines the theoretical underpinnings, computational techniques, and practical applications of energy measures in contexts involving decision-making, considering the special features brought forth by fuzzy, intuitionistic fuzzy, and neutrosophic graph models. This review attempts to provide a thorough understanding for researchers and practitioners looking to use energy measures for efficient decision support in the setting of uncertainty contained within these specific graph topologies by synthesizing prior research.
Uygur Halk Destanlarında Kut Algısı Üzerine
Authors: Aydın Funda
Published: July 2024

Destanlar, kültürel belleğin bir yansımasıdır. Halkın şuurunu yansıtan, onların istediği ve beklediği ölçüde hareket eden, ortak değerleri bünyesinde toplayan kahramanlar ile anlam kazanırlar. Toplumun sesi olma görevini üstlenen bu ideal kahramanlar bilhassa kutu, kutsalı ve manevi değerleri üzerinde taşımalarıyla dikkat çekerler. Bu değerler Türk inanç sistemlerinde önceleri Gök Tanrı ile alakalı olarak karşımıza çıkmıştır. Gök Tanrı kutun kaynağıdır. Talihi, bahtı, saadeti, gücü temsil eden kut kavramı önceleri Tanrı tarafından doğrudan yeryüzündeki temsilcisi kabul edilen hanlara, hakanlara verilmiştir. Böylelikle iktidarı elinde tutan hakan, toplum üzerinde hâkimiyeti elde etmiştir. Ancak siyasi devamlılığı ve töreyi devam ettiremeyen hükümdarların kutuTanrı tarafından geri alınmakta ve kutsallık kalkmaktadır. Dolayısıyla kutu elde etme kadar kutun devamlılığını sağlayabilmek de önemlidir. Türkler zamanla değiştirdikleri sosyokültürel hayat ve inanç tarzları ile kut kavramını farklı yapılarda devam ettirmiştir. İslamiyet ile birlikte bu kavram dolaylı yollarla aktarılmıştır. Bu süreçten itibaren aktarma eyleminde kutlu kabul edilen insanların başında peygamberler ve din uluları yer almıştır. Söz konusu kişiler Tanrı ile toplumun sözcüsü olan ideal tiplerarasındaki iletişimi sağlayan, kutu aktaran aracı konumunda olmuşlardır. Bu aktarıcılar kut aktarma sürecinde asa, bakış/nazar, el verme, elbise, kan/ soy, nefes, nur, toprak, tükürük, rüya gibi kavramlardan yararlanmıştır. Geçmişten günümüze sosyal ve beşerî açıdan zorluklar yaşayan Uygur Türkleri için de kut ve manevi değerler büyük önem taşımıştır. Bu doğrultuda halkın hafızasına kazınacak destan kahramanları yaratılmıştır. Halkın sözcüsü olan bu ideal Uygur kahramanlarına özellikle din lideri olan peygamberler başta olmak üzere din uluları ile ilişkilendirilerek kut verilmesi dikkat çekmiştir. Bu çalışmada Abdurrahman Han, Göroğlu, Yusuf ile Züleyha ve Şah Adilhan destanları esas alınmıştır. Dinî ve mistik unsurların yoğun olarak kullanılması mevcut destanların tercih edilmesinde etkili olmuştur. Abdurrahman Han, Göroğlu, Yusuf ile Züleyha destanlarından hareketle ideal kahramanlara kut verilme nedenleri, kutun aktarılma şekilleri tespit edilmeye çalışılmış ve elbise, kan, mühür, nazar/bakış, rüya gibi unsurlarla destan kahramanlarına kut aktarıldığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca Şah Adilhan destanından hareketle de kut kaybına sebep olan durumların tespiti üzerinde durulmuştur.

Published: July 2024

Bu çalışmada, İstanbul’da yaşayan Musevilerin defin ve matem süreçlerinin etnografik analizi yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın kapsamını oluşturan analiz neticesinde elde edilen bulgular, İstanbul’da yaşayan Musevilerin günlük yaşantılarındaki inanışları, matem ritüelleri, mezarlık kültürlerininbelirlenmesi ve bu bağlamda betimlemelerde bulunulması gibi değişkenler çerçevesinde ele alınmış ve söz konusu bulgular olgusal olarak ifade edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, İstanbul’da yaşayan ve söz konusu toplum içerisinde kabul gören Musevilerin beyanları esas olarak kabul edilmiştir. Çalışma, 2021-2023 yılları arasında İstanbul’un Avrupa ve Asya yakalarında yapılmıştır. Ulaşılabilir hedef evren olarak İstanbul’da yaşayan Museviler ve cenaze işlemlerinde görevli kişiler örneklem seçilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara ilişkin durumları ve olayları İstanbul’da yaşayan Musevilerin gözünden anlamaya çalışmak için nitel araştırma deseni tercih edilmiştir. Yine aynı kapsamda; ölüm, ahiret inancı, matem, cenaze işlemleri, mezarlıkları ve kültürel değişimlerin etnografik yansıması sonucu dini söylemler ve dini ritüeller ile ortaya çıkan olgular üzerine inceleme yapıldığından etnografik araştırma/kültür analizi deseninden de faydalanılmıştır. Yüz yüze yapılan görüşmelerde yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formları kullanılmış ve tümevarım veri analizi yapılmıştır.Bu çalışma neticesinde tabutla gömülme ve rehitsa (yıkama) odasının Müslümanlardan esinlenerek işletilebilir hale getirilmesi gibi net bulgular tespit edilmiştir. Buna ek olarak, mezar taşlarında ve objelerin, ölüm ve ölüm sonrası cenaze işlemlerinde, mezar açılmasında, gömü yönü değişikliğinde farklılıklar ve tüm bu süreçlerde Müslüman görevli çalıştırılması gibi değişiklikler detespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca 7 Ekim sonrası kısa vadede 5, 10 ve 15 yıl sonrası özellikle İstanbul’a olası Yahudi göçü olması düşünüldüğünde İstanbul’daki Yahudi habitusu başta olmak üzere ahiret inancına bağlı olarak dini ritüellerdeki, mezar taşlarındaki, gömü işlemlerindeki farklılıklar tespit edilebilecektir. Elde edilebilecek dini bulguların kültürel hegemonya kapsamında uzun vadedeki olgularının yansımalarına (siyasi, politik, sosyoekonomik) karşı kültürel etkileşim analizlerine yönelik senaryoların hazırlanması kaçınılmaz zorunluluk olarak görülmektedir.

Authors: Emelyanova Nataliya , Emelyanov Dmitry
Published: July 2024

Among the risk factors for dry mouth, or xerostomia, are both estrogen deficiency in women during menopause and the use of medications with xerogenic properties. Until now, it has not been clearly determined, whether dryness in the oral cavity in women during menopause is only associated with subjective sensations or is accompanied by qualitative and quantitative changes in mixed saliva. To determine the frequency and nature of xerostomia syndrome in women during menopause with high and extremely high risk of cardiovascular diseases. The study involved 35 patients (with subjective sensations of dryness in the oral cavity) and 20 apparently healthy women. All study participants were questioned for any dental complaints, and the quantitative indicators of the oral fluid were assessed. An individualized oral hygiene complex and a moisturizing gel were prescribed as correction of the subjective signs of xerostomia. The follow-up visit was carried out after 1 month. The patients in natural menopause felt slight subjective manifestations of dry mouth confirmed by objective decrease in salivary secretion; whereas in most cases subjective dryness in the oral cavity is accompanied by normal secretion. The prescribed complex for correction of dental complaints ensures decrease in the subjective signs of dryness, decrease in taste distortion and halitosis.

Kidney stone disease (nephrolithiasis, urolithiasis, and renal calculi) is characterized by the formation of both symptomatic and asymptomatic obstructive and non-obstructive calculi in the urinary tract. Calcium oxalate stones are the most common type, related to the consumption of large amounts of oxalate-rich foods. Other stones are made of calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, uric acid, cystine, and struvite. Urolithiasis is increasingly being reported in both urban and rural Kenya. Minimally invasive surgical treatment of symptomatic stones is the current standard of care, but open nephrolithotomy remains a viable option in selected patients. Nonetheless, the rates of stone recurrence remain high, increasing from 15% at 1 year to 50% at 10 years due to multifactorial risk factors. In this study, we report the case of a rural Kenyan patient who underwent the third open nephrolithotomy in 10 years for recurrent symptomatic stones and whose biochemical analysis has guided subsequent preventative dietary efforts against stone recurrence.
