The Paper examines the "Roads that Cars can Read'' attributes for physical and digital infrastructure and develops the AD Star rating methodology by assessing the readiness of the infrastructure for AD vehicles from a safety perspective in 4 member states (SLAIN project). It also describes the Australian findings on Infrastructure Changes to Support Automated Vehicles on Rural and Metropolitan Highways and Freeways. The European Road Assessment Programme (EuroRAP) is an innovative programme of systematic risk assessment protocols which include among others the aiRAP and Autonomous Driving (AD) Star Rating. EuroRAP works on the European Commission funded CEF project SLAIN which is a 2-year project co-financed by the European Union under the Connecting Europe Facility. The project is set out in eight activities to support and encourage the proposed changes to Directive 2008/96/EC and Prepare for Automation. Among other activities, Activity 7 will perform a three-part study to demonstrate the readiness of Europe's physical infrastructure for automation. lt will include verifying several physical road attributes (relevant 52 attributes) including road marking and traffic signs and digital road attributes in 4 member states and it is going to develop the automatic coding methodology for the European network for network wide assessment and producing AI algorithms for identifying and combining datasets of vehicle sensors. The Australian case study: The method used for the Australian CAV readiness audit was documented in the Austroads Report (2019) [4]. The audit was conducted by the Australian Road Research Board using a survey vehicle fitted with a Mobileye camera that represents machine vision technology used in late model or near future market vehicles. This technology detects the road environment in real-time including speed signs, lines and objects. Mobileye is a global supplier of machine vision technology to automotive manufacturers, and the Mobileye technology is the foundation of more than 25 auto manufacturer's ADAS functionality and is representative of how today's vehicles read the road.

Authors:   Applus+ IDIADA, SPAIN, Castells Jacint , Mesones Antonio , Vallejo Alex
Published: April 2022

The C-MobILE project defines a new European C-ITS Reference Architecture to ease and promote the deployment of C-ITS services throughout Europe in an interoperable, replicable way. This hybrid architecture is taken as the basis in Barcelona to implement and deploy new mobility services to help increase road safety and traffic efficiency, not only in the city, but also in its metropolitan area. As a main innovative point, traditional C-ITS have been adapted to work over cellular communications and offer both existing and new services. This paper gathers all the process followed to offer a group of cellular-based C-ITS services to almost any kind of road users, from passenger cars to VRUs, including public transport and emergency services. As the backbone of that process the Barcelona-specific end-to-end technical implementation (data sources, formats, backend and frontend) is presented and detailed. This becomes the platform where all the specific services are implemented and managed, those being GLOSA, In-Vehicle Signage, Emergency Vehicle Warning, Road Works Warning, Road Hazard Warning, Flexible Infrastructure, Warning System for VRUs, Motorcycle Approaching Indication and Probe Vehicle Data. Such a platform is formed by different, independent data sources (providing different mobility data), a data management module (where all the data is treated and the road events to be notified are generated), a dissemination module (notifying all those events to the users, depending on their location, via cellular communications), and the frontend application, which is the interface between the system and the end-user. The interactions between the different modules and the data flow, including formats, are also detailed. All the services are thought to be deployed in a large-scale context, with many users connected at the same time and events being updated in real-time. Furthermore, and following one of the project main objectives, they are interoperable with all the C-MobILE sites, which means that the end-user app from Barcelona can be taken to cities such as Bordeaux, Bilbao, Copenhagen, Newcastle, Eindhoven, Helmond, Thessaloniki or Vigo, and still provide the services which are active in those locations. Such an interoperability approach is also presented in this paper.
Wide Angle Cameras as low cost solution in Urban localization problems
Authors:   IAV GmbH, GERMANY, Tadjine, Hadj Hamma , Kaddache Amine
Published: April 2022

In the last years many efforts were made to push the trend to highly automated driving from a highway function to urban areas (urban chauffeur functions). With this, new challenges came into focus. One of these challenges is the positioning of the ego car to get lane accurate driving in cities. Due to multipath signal propagation, reflections and even blackouts, a single GPS solution will not be sufficient to face the challenges for a high precise localization and driving. Differential GPS systems (DGPS) combined with inertial measurement units (IMU) are a step forward on this, but currently they are expensive and at longer blackouts the system will fail [8] either. For this reason, further methods were proposed and are under research until today. One big research field is the landmark based localization and derivatives of it. In this paper we introduce a precise localization system that uses series vehicle sensors. We show, that with the use of a set of multiple cameras known from surround view systems, standard GPS equipment and the car Odometry sensors, localization problems inside urban areas could be solved. To estimate the position, lanes Information that have been detected by a set of wide angle cameras mounted around the car are used. These cameras are able to detect and measure the relative position of lane segment markings, arrow markings, pedestrian crossings and stop lines. The information is combined with enhanced data based on open street map (OSM). Thereby a landmark based estimation could be established. Furthermore, the Information and signals from the car sensors and antennas like Odometry and GPS are used for an improved position update and estimation. All Information are finally merged with a particle filter. The main goal of this system is to combine all Information the car could provide by its serial hardware in a cost-effective method for a stable and precise localization in challenging surroundings. The potential performance of the system is evaluated with different driving tests.

Authors: Dastgir Noor , Qaisar Wafa , Ilyas Madiha
Published: April 2022

Objectives: Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune condition with underlying pathology in the connective tissue and can affect almost any organ system mainly skin, joints, lungs, heart and the abdomen. It usually follows a chronic course of disease. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship of cardiac involvement with the severity of disease course in patients with systemic sclerosis.
Methodology: Two hundred patients with a diagnosis of Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) were evaluated for cardiac involvement via history, examination, electrocardiogram and echocardiography. Cardiac involvement was compared across genders, age, duration of disease, and relationship with American College of Rheumatology (ACR) scores.
Results: Cardiac abnormalities were detected in 16% of these patients. Mean age of the study population was 38.67 ± 12.73 years including 55.5% males and 44.5% females. The mean ACR score of the study population was 12.8 ± 3. A significant relationship was observed between the degree of cardiac involvement and ACR scores (p=0.001) while that between cardiac abnormality and other confounding factors was non-significant i.e., gender (p=0.630), age groups (p=0.287) and duration since diagnosis (p=0.801).
Conclusion: There is a potential association of cardiac dysfunction with how severe the systemic sclerosis is, without a noteworthy impact of age, gender and disease duration.
Extensive review on IoT security challenges and LWC implementation on tiny hardware for node level security evaluation
Authors: SUTAR SWAPNIL , Mekala Priyanka
Published: April 2022

Internet-of-Things (IoT) offers a novel intelligent ecosystem that consists of various physical objects interconnected via the internet, which draws the attention of researchers, academicians, and industrialists. Various physical objects are embedded systems that perform dedicated operations that include sensing, monitoring, and controls. Such connectivity of embedded system devices over the internet creates an intelligent mesh worldwide and makes city, industry, and human life entirely automated and intelligent. However, the existing embedded system with radio modules is battery operated, referred to as a low-resourced device. Further, it is expected that the device should consume less operational power. Tiny size devices are offering less memory which creates a resource-constrained environment. An efficient hardware implementation of security algorithms is challenging in a constrained environment that satisfies all performance metrics. Standard internet connectivity of all devices with new wireless paradigms (e.g. ZigBee, LoRa, Wi-Fi, SigFox, etc.) essentially needs to be scrutinized for secured data communication and other security flaws. The universal connection allows an adversary to access secured technology via vulnerable systems. Many researchers are analyzing IoT technologies in every possible aspect to provide an economically secured solution. Importing software-tested encryption standards on hardware with efficient results can produce reliable IoT nodes. In this paper, we present the overview of IoT infrastructure with supporting data communication protocols. Also, we discussed essential cryptographic design rationale to minimize overall structure with the importance of metrics. Environmental and implementation based challenges, trade-off, and importance of cryptography towards the development of secured IoT node with Light-Weight Cipher (LWC) ANU and PRESENT proof-of-concept for generic application is provided in this research.

Previous histological studies have confirmed the curing potency of ingested natural honey on both liver and kidney’s cellular structures in mice and other experimental animals. Forty four male Wister rats were divided into four groups, control (G1); honey only (G2); Doxorubicin (DOX) (G3) and DOX with natural honey (G4), respectively. The experiments lasted 7 weeks following subcutaneous administrating 5mg/Kg b.wt./week of DOX and treatment with 1 mL/L honeyed water. Four most common liver enzymes e.g. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Alanine transaminase (ALT), Aspartate transaminase (AST) and Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) in the blood as well as differential counting of WBC were tested to assess the impact of curing potency of the ingested natural honey via stabilizing the levels of the enzymes. The biochemical assessments have shown curing potency of natural honey against the toxicity impact of DOX on the above liver enzymes. Differential counting of WBC have shown insignificant changes in most WBCs but significant elevation of eosinophil in DOX rats (G3) in comparison with other groups indicating development of allergy. It has been concluded that lower or mild doses of DOX have less toxic effects on the body with a rather better impact of honey. Perhaps regular ingestion of the natural honey could provide a natural remedy on general health e.g. functions of the liver and positive impacts on other chronicle diseases. Further researches are recommended using higher doses of DOX via using other administration methods e.g. intravenous.

Methaemoglobinaemia in pregnancy with chronic kidney disease an uncommon case: a case report
Authors: Gok Mahmut , Yasemin Gul Aydemir
Published: April 2022

The development of methaemoglobinaemia due to prilocaine, which is used for local anaesthesia, is a rare, life-threatening, but well-known side effect. The development of this side-effect in a pregnant patient with chronic kidney disease can lead to foetal distress. The case presented here is of a 21-year old pregnant female with chronic kidney disease who required haemodialysis in the 22nd week of pregnancy due to the progression to end-stage kidney disease. During haemodialysis, a right jugular tunneled double-lumen catheter was inserted using prilocaine as the local anaesthetic. Prilocaine-induced methaemoglobinaemia was diagnosed. In the 24-hour follow-up, the methaemoglobin level decreased to normal with oxygen supply of 10-15 L/min, 2 units of erythrocyte suspension and accompanying haemodialysis.

Pembrolizumab: an unlikely cause of Type-1 Diabetes?
Authors: Iqbal Arham , Iqbal Unzela , Abbasi Zaeem Ahmed
Published: April 2022

Dear Madam,
Pembrolizumab side effects have affected 60% of the patients. Some f side effects include thyroid dysfunction, hepatitis and pneumonitis and Auto- immune diabetes which can prove to be dangerous in pandemic times [1]. If not kept in check, endocrine dysfunction can belife- threatening.
Recent studies showed that Pembrolizumab, when administered to patients previously on Ipilimumab can aggravate autoimmune diabetes. [2] Another case reported that a 70 years old patient was found suffering from liver and lung malignancies and later diagnosed with induced Diabetic ketoacidosis and isolated adrenocorticotrophic hormone deficiency after being administered with both Ipilimumab and Pembrolizumab as part of treating the malignancies [3]. Another study which was conducted recently showed that within 3 months of administering PD?1/PD?L1 inhibitor, the patients developed Type 1 Diabetes rapidly along with a higher incidence of ketoacidosis. [4]
In light of the above evidence, health care professionals should be aware of this rare, life-threatening side effect of Pembrolizumab. Strict monitoring of patients’ blood glucose levels to whom Pembrolizumab is being administered should be done along with the history of any other PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor that was administered before.

Published: April 2022

La controversia de los ritos representa un punto de inflexión en la historia de las misiones católicas en China. Este artículo investiga cómo el P. Matteo Ricci, S.J. (1552-1610), formó su comprensión de los ritos chinos mucho antes de que surgiera la disputa, y analiza la evolución de su pensamiento sobre el tema. Ricci fijó una interpretación generosa sobre la naturaleza de los ritos, pero esta interpretación fue refutada y finalmente rechazada cien años después de su muerte.
Theoretical and Simulation Prediction of Optimum Cover
Inclination To Prevent Fall-Off Condensed Water Droplets
Authors: Alshqirate Abed Alrzaq
Published: April 2022

This study presented theoretical and simulation predictions to find the optimum glass cover inclination angle that can
allow the water droplet underneath the surface to slide along it without fall-off. As a case study, the solar still main
component that plays a big role on it is performance is the transparent glass cover that permits solar rays to pass
through it and is used as a condensation surface for water vapor. The inclination angle of the cover is a very important
parameter that provides confined space to increase the condensation process by fast cooling of the surface and result in
more freshwater productivity. The theoretical prediction is obtained by modeling a set of mathematical equations that
contain the main parameters necessary to slide the droplet along the surface without detaching it and solving them by
using the MATLAB computer program. The simulation technique for the volume of fluid method uses the volume fraction
equation with the level set applied in ANSYS Fluent software. The 3D model was created, and a water droplet was
applied with adhesion force on the glass. It was found that the size of the droplet represented by its critical radius is a
function of inclination angle. Also, it is found that for the angles larger than 15o
, water droplets slide over the surface
without separation. The optimum cover inclination provides both smooth slidings of droplets along with it and a suitable
confined area that increases the rate of evaporation and condensation.

Authors: Kamil Faten
Published: April 2022

The disposal of industrial waste has become a significant environmental issue. In this work, industrial waste, heavy oil fly ash (HOFA) produced from burning heavy oil in the power station was investigated to produce activated carbon (AC) as adsorbent from modified HOFA for lead removal. Batch experiments of lead removal were conducted at a different adsorbent dose and time contact. Equilibrium isotherm results with a good match in with Freundlich model with R2 =0.971which shows the heterogeneous surface of adsorbent and multilayer of adsorbate on the surface of (AC). A maximum adsorption capacity of 10mg/g at equilibrium was achieved. Kinetic study showed rapid adsorption at first 60min, with good matching to second order pseudo model with R
Headache and neuroimaging findings in conditions of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation disorders: in hydrocephalus, pseudotumor cerebri, and CSF hypotension syndrome

Published: April 2022

The authors wish in this narrative minireview show and comment on some neuroimaging findings encountered in patients with conditions of cerebrospinal fluid circulation disorders, such as in the hydrocephalus, pseudotumor cerebri, and CSF hypotension syndrome. The MRI of a young woman with a clinical diagnosis of post-dural puncture headache, performed on the fourth postpartum day after cesarean delivery, evolving with headache and diplopia, is shown. Non-contrast-enhanced sagittal T1 magnetic resonance imaging shows that the cerebellar tonsils are at the level of the foramen magnum, therefore still within normal limits, but, despite that, the opening of the cerebral aqueduct in the third ventricle is below the imaginary line connecting the anterior clinoid to the vein of Galen, therefore considered abnormally lower than the expected anatomical position. The axial T1-weighted images with post-contrast fat suppression also show impregnation and thickening of the dura mater. There is also mild engorgement of the cerebral venous sinuses, best demonstrated on T1 with post-contrast fat suppression, which is also identified on post-contrast magnetic resonance angiography, with no signs of venous thrombosis. We conclude that the diagnosis of a patient with intracranial hypotension syndrome can be suspected or confirmed with typical neuroimaging findings.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic caused changes in the population's lifestyle and dietary patterns, important triggers for migraine crises. Objective: Evaluating the association between eating behavior and lifestyle habits and the increase of migraine attacks in university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study carried out with university students from Salvador, Bahia, between December/2020 and June/2021. The university students were invited by Whatsapp® and institutional email and then directed to the free and informed consent form and questionnaire, filled through the research management application. This research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee under evaluation report 4.351.573. Data were analyzed by descriptive analysis. Results: Sample of 83 individuals, 89,2% women, 45,8% sedentary, 51,8% gained weight recently, 73,4% have low water intake, 59% have difficulty to conciliate and 50,6% have difficult to maintain the sleep. Before the pandemic, 7,3% reported 7-14 days of migraine per month and, after, increased to 24,1%. 36,1% of students associated food with migraine attacks, the main triggers are: coffee (20,5%), chocolate (14,5%), sausages (12%), alcohol (9,6%) and sugar (6%). The increase in migraine days was associated with difficulty in maintaining sleep (p < 0.002). Conclusion: Despite the statistically significant result only between difficulty to conciliate the sleep and greater frequency of migraine, changes in lifestyle and eating behavior caused by the COVID-19 pandemic also seem to imply in increase in days with migraine in university students.

“Of Greater Dignity than the Negros”
Authors: Graubart Karen B.
Published: April 2022

Enslaved and free men and women of African origins or descent in Lima,
Peru joined Catholic cofradías in order to form community. The earliest
records of Lima’s African-descent cofradías reveal some of the ways that
members found community, as well as dealt with growing schisms and
fissures due to the Atlantic slave trade and local racialized hierarchies.
Peruvians of African descent drew upon their contemporary experiences,
adapting the European rhetoric of “difference” deployed against them,
to identify and police their own divisions during the first century of the
institutionalization of African slavery in Spanish America. These documents
also provide us with an early history of how African naciones, often
misdiagnosed as ethnicities, came to be central to diasporic identities.
Glaciers, the Colonial Archive and the Brotherhood of the Lord of Quyllur Rit’i
Authors: Serna Jeri Angelica
Published: April 2022

This chapter analyzes the role of dance performances representing Amazonian
identities in the annual Andean pilgrimage of Quyllur Rit’i, the
most important annual religious pilgrimage in the southern Andes that
involves devotional activities including dancing, singing, and dramatized
life cycle events centered around both the glaciers and a Catholic shrine
to a miraculous image. I argue that these performances allow for the
interaction of territorial and ritual practices. My analysis of the history
and context of these dances in the pilgrimage will bring into discussion
how ethnic identities emerge in relation to places such as glaciers and
changes in climate across both time and space.
Between Excess and Pleasure

Published: April 2022

This chapter studies the religious festivals staged by the indigenous
confraternities of colonial Jujuy, in the viceroyalty of Peru. It argues
that these festivals help consolidate Spanish rule over these individuals,
sustaining that this festival culture helped legitimize the indigenous
governors’ authority and popularized a penchant for the excess of food
and drink.
Cultural Resistance and Afro-Catholicism in Colonial Brazil
Authors: de Mello e Souza Marina , Dantas Lobato Bruna
Published: April 2022

Lay brotherhoods were a major form of social organization in colonial
Brazil. These brotherhoods were dedicated to mutual aid and devotion
to the Virgin Mary and certain saints. There were white, mestizo, black,
rich, mid-income and poor brotherhoods. Black brotherhoods elected a
king among its charges. His authority was recognized by the community
he represented, and he was a respected mediator with slave-owners,
priests, and colonial authorities. Brotherhoods offered Afro-Brazilian
possibilities of affirming their identity and a social space. Afro-Brazilian
brotherhoods show that Afro-Brazilians did not only achieved their own
space through revolt and resistance, but also through negotiation and the
adoption of European institutions.
PRISMA Method For Predicting Breast Cancer
Authors: Intan Neneng
Published: April 2022

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in Indonesia. There are no definite symptoms that can be accurately diagnosed to detect breast cancer. Several studies on breast cancer have been carried out with various methods, but not all methods can predict breast cancer accurately. So the contribution of this research is to find a method that is accurate enough to detect breast cancer. This study uses the PRISMA method to find the right method for detecting breast cancer. The results show that the Naïve Bayes Classifier method is most often used because this algorithm is known to have a high level of accuracy with simple calculations and works very well compared to other classifier models. Another advantage is that this method only requires a small amount of training data to determine the parameter estimates needed in the classification process.
