High Throughput DWT Architecture for Signal Processing
Authors: N B V V S S Mani Manjari  , Dr. S V R K RAO
Published: July 2024

The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is essential in signal processing systems because it is capable of accurately recording both frequency and time-domain features. Nevertheless, the computational intricacy of DWT presents notable obstacles to processing in real-time, particularly in circumstances with large data consumption. This study presents a VLSI technology designed to accelerate DWT processing utilizing CMOS gates. The goal is to improve throughput while maintaining area efficiency. The architecture utilizes parallelism and pipelining techniques to take use of the fundamental redundancy in DWT processing. We focus on creating customized processing units developed specifically for performing Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) operations. These units are tuned to make the best possible usage of CMOS gate capabilities. The proposed architectural is implemented using Cadence virtuoso software with 45 nm design. It is evaluated based on its area, power consumption, and latency. The current techniques employed to assess the proposed design include the utilization of the Radix-2 technique for FIR filter design, as well as the employment of look-up-table carry select adder (LCSLA), Vedic design (VD), and carry look-ahead adder (CLA). The developed system design has an area of 1764 um2, which makes it smaller than that of conventional approaches.
Cross-cultural challenges faced by international students
Authors: Astley Marcus
Published: July 2024

This case study was undertaken in a London-based business school and explores the cross-cultural challenges faced by students who have relocated from India to the UK for one-year postgraduate (PG) business master’s courses. Primary data were collected in two stages: semi-structured interviews, followed by a survey. The paper draws on the literature related to socio-cultural theory. It then reviews the findings of the research as to the cultural challenges the students have faced in the UK, whether in their studies, or their wider social lives. Finally, it integrates these findings into the extant literature and proposes a set of recommendations for consideration by the business school. Some of these may also have relevance for other Higher Education (HE) institutions working with Indian students.
Managing calcaneal fractures through modified sinus tarsi approach and headless screws fixation
Authors: Samy Elhammady Ahmed
Published: July 2024

The calcaneus is the most commonly fractured tarsal bone, and the treatment of patients with intraarticular calcaneal fractures remains controversial. Operative treatment utilizing extensile approaches provides excellent exposure of the fracture but is associated with high rates of wound complications. This case report discusses the application of the mini-open reduction technique through the modified sinus tarsi approach and fixation with headless cannulated screws for the reconstruction of an intra-articular tongue-type calcaneus fracture in a 67-year-old male patient who presented with a history of falling from a 2-meter height, sustained a dislocated intra-articular calcaneal fracture. Using a 2–3 cm lateral transverse incision, we reduced the fracture and percutaneously fixed it with two headless cannulated screws. The patient fully regained his activity level by the 3rd-month postoperatively. At the 9-month follow-up, foot and ankle functions were found to be satisfactory. Minimally invasive treatment of calcaneal fractures achieved through the modified sinus tarsi approach provides excellent fracture exposure and percutaneous fixation using headless cannulated screws ensures better outcomes.
A rare case of giant peritoneal loose body: A case report
Authors: Dhola Dilip , Banerjee Divya Jyoti , Shah Viral
Published: July 2024

Peritoneal loose bodies (PLBs) are uncommon abdominal lesions, typically asymptomatic and discovered incidentally during surgery. Giant PLBs, exceeding 5 cm in size, are even rarer and can present with clinical symptoms mimicking other abdominal pathologies. We present a 57-year-old male with a giant PLB presenting as intermittent abdominal pain, distention, and rectal bleeding. Imaging studies suggested colo-colic intussusception due to a colonic lipoma. The patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy revealing a segment of the descending colon containing multiple lipomas, one causing intussusception. In addition, a separate giant PLB 6 × 5.5 cm with central calcification was identified. A segmental colectomy with primary anastomosis and resection of the PLB was performed. The patient recovered well and reported complete resolution of symptoms at follow-up. Pathology confirmed a benign lipoma and a giant PLB. This case highlights the potential for giant PLBs to cause clinical symptoms and emphasizes the importance of including them in the differential diagnosis of abdominal complaints, even in the absence of a classic presentation. Exploratory laparotomy remains a definitive approach for diagnosis and management in such cases.
Understanding Gold Textiles: Case Studies of Gold Threads from the Bronze Age and Antiquity in Europe
Authors: Grömer, Karina , Coletti Francesca , Gomes Francisco B. , Saunderson Kayleigh
Published: July 2024

The production of textiles, in terms of weaving techniques, has a long history in Europe, and dates back to the Stone Age, the time during which the first farming communities arrived in the Mediterranean and Central Europe, in the 7th/6th millennium BC. The first evidence of textile tools, like spindle whorls and loom weights, demonstrate that people made an important step forward in mechanizing this craft, not only twisting fibers and interlacing strands purely by hand, but also inventing tools to increase efficiency. Through the development of textile techniques, we see the unleashing of enormous creative power that stimulated even more advanced techniques to create specific structures and patterns — these still form an important part of our European cultural heritage, which was also studied with the COST Action Euro Web. As an example, the art of blue dyeing has been listed by UNESCO as an example of Intangible Heritage in Austria, Slovenia, Czech Republic, and Slovakia since 2018;1 all over the world, different techniques have been awarded Textile Intangible Cultural Heritage status.2 To preserve craft knowledge for the future, it is important to understand details on ancient weaving techniques. This knowledge might not only be used for research and science communication, but also could potentially be integrated into the daily lives of modern people.

The case studies presented here will centre on the incorporation of gold threads into textiles, a method of decoration which has been found across different time periods and areas in Europe and the Mediterranean.3 In this contribution, we focus on Late Bronze Age contexts, like Ebreichsdorf and Vösendorf in Austria and Óbuda in Hungary, as well as others from the Roman Period, such as Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Oplantis in Italy.

Reconstructing textiles from European archaeological contexts that are thousands of years old is a demanding task. Contrary to other parts of the world, the environmental conditions in most areas of Europe are not conducive to the preservation of organic remains in general, and textile materials in particular.4 In fact, and while exceptions do exist (see below), direct evidence for the textile component of the material worlds of prehistoric and ancient Europe is, for the most part, fragmentary and incomplete.

This being said, there are several different strands of evidence that can be used to achieve empirically grounded scientific reconstructions of the types of textiles used during this period across Europe. The main sources for such reconstructions can be divided into several categories: Archaeological sources (textiles and their scientific analysis, tools); iconographic sources; written sources; ethnographic/folkloristic evidence; and experimental archaeology.
“What’s in a Name?” Toponyms and Loanwords in European Textile Cultures

Textiles as man-made products have been exchanged over distances for millennia. They can and have been produced almost anywhere; they are also, as a product, highly differentiated and quickly adjustable to changing demands. This brings with it naming practices to communicate about the goods in question. Textiles are labeled so that people can form expectations about them and rely on the reputation tied to the product’s identity. The terminology of textiles and textile items arises and develops in unison with technical innovations, discoveries, fashions, and trade patterns. Although the occurrence of toponyms e.g., in preindustrial trade (10th to 18th century AD) is widely used to study the development of textile trade, there are no studies that look at textile labeling practices across time and space in Europe’s history. This paper explores textile labels from Antiquity up until now, drawing on the expertise of an interdisciplinary group of scholars. Exploring labeling practices is worthwhile, as it allows us to better understand textiles as a phenomenon that has, across time, always connected regions, markets, and, not least, people. The discussion of naming practices of textiles, and especially the use of geographical indications (toponyms), is by no means only relevant to the study of the past as EU regulations show, namely the Geneva Act of the Lisbon Agreement of 2015, that defines appellation of origin as “any denomination protected in the Contracting Party of Origin consisting of or containing the name of a geographical area, or another denomination known as referring to such area, which serves to designate a good as originating in that geographical area, where the quality or characteristics of the good are due exclusively or essentially to the geographical environment, including natural and human factors, and which has given the good its reputation; as well as any indication protected in the Contracting Party of Origin consisting of or containing the name of a geographical area, or another indication known as referring to such area, which identifies a good as originating in that geographical area, where a given quality, reputation or other characteristic of the good is essentially attributable to its geographical origin.”

Published: July 2024

One of the research areas of the EuroWeb project during the four years of the COST Action (November 2020 – October 2024) is the comparative study of textile and clothing terminologies in European languages across time. Inside the EuroWeb network, the research group on Textile and clothing terminologies has three topics of particular interest: 1. the specificities of these terminologies, and the strategies for naming textiles and garments; 2. the impact of European geography on textile and clothing terminologies, especially visible through textile terms formed after a toponym or through the circulation of loanwords; 3. the influence of textile and clothing terminologies on texts, languages, and literature. Although the geographical scope of the project is focused on Europe, it also includes neighboring areas. The terminology research group counted more than 120 people, specialists in the study of modern or ancient textile terminologies who have various disciplinary profiles: Historians, epigraphists, linguists and terminologists, archaeologists, art historians, and museums curators.

The aim of the EuroWeb COST Action is to bring together these experts in different fields related to textiles studies through joint meetings, scientific conferences, and training schools, but also through collaborative research and brainstorming around the construction of common tools. Examples include a terminological vocabulary of the basic terms of our field of study, or an online platform to share knowledge on the terminology of textiles and clothing. In this article, we want to focus on the work carried out during the first years of the EuroWeb project (November 2020 – October 2024) by the terminology research group, starting with a focus on the collaboration with the team involved in the creation of the Digital Atlas of European Textile Heritage.

Published: July 2024

This study investigated the socioeconomic dynamics and profitability drivers in broiler chicken production in Sabon Gari Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling procedure was  used in selecting one hundred and fifty (150) broiler chicken producers. Primary data were collected through the use of a structured questionnaire. Tools of analysis used were descriptive statistics, farm budgetary techniques, and the multiple regression model. The socio-economic characteristics of the producers revealed a mean age of 44 years, with the majority (62.50%) of the producers being male. The broiler farmers had one form of education or another, with a mean flock size of 213 birds. It was found that the percentage contribution of the purchase of feed to the total variable cost of production was the highest (45.79%), with a sum of ₦ 756.06 at average as the total cost incurred in the production of broilers was realized. Consequently, the return on Naira invested of ₦ 1.38 implies that for any ₦ 1 invested in broiler production, the farmers generated 38k. The results from  regression analysis revealed that sex, age, farming experience, household size, education, and membership in cooperatives were the determinants of the profitability of broiler chicken production. It was concluded that broiler production in the study area was profitable and that several socio-economic factors significantly influence profitability. It was therefore recommended that producers consider joining cooperative membership to explore the benefits of cooperatives and leverage bulk purchasing discounts and knowledge sharing opportunities, potentially improving profitability for members.

Abstract: The provision of loan funds is one of the important activities in improving the welfare of Primkoppol members (Police Cooperative). The process of determining the eligibility for loan disbursement in PRIMKOPPOL POLRES Asahan is still lacking systematic timing delays in making decisions in managing the disbursement of loan funds. Therefore, an efficient and effective method is needed to minimize risks and maximize profits for the cooperative and its members. One method that can be used is the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method, which has been proven effective in various decision-making contexts. This study aims to apply the SAW method in the process of disbursing loan funds for Primkoppol members, and to evaluate the performance of this method in selecting eligible loan recipients and optimizing fund allocation. The loan disbursement process uses the SAW method, which calculates the relative preference value for each prospective loan recipient based on predetermined criteria. The results of this study indicate that by applying the Simple Additive Weighting method to 10 loan applicants, 3 applicants successfully applied for loans with a preference value > 0.7, in line with the requirements. The implementation of the SAW method in loan disbursement for Primkoppol members has successfully increased efficiency and accuracy in selecting loan recipients. Keywords : cooperative; decision support systems; simple additive weighting (SAW).  Abstract: Pemberian dana pinjaman merupakan salah satu kegiatan yang penting dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan anggota Primkoppol (Koperasi Polisi).

Authors: Gürgan Atakan , Şevgin Ömer
Published: July 2024

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of exercises given with ergonomics training on sleep, neck, and upper extremity functions in esports players. Fifty professional or amateur esports players were randomly divided into two groups: an exercise group that received exercise and ergonomics training and a control group that received only ergonomics training. The exercise program was applied three days a week for eight weeks. Before and following the study, the participants were evaluated using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (DASH), the Neck Disability Questionnaire (NDI), the Rapid Upper Extremity Assessment (RULA), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Following the implementation of an intervention, there were notable declines in both the NDI and RULA scores in both groups. Conversely, while a reduction in the DASH and PSQI scores was observed in the exercise group, this was not evident in the control group. The decline in NDI and DASH scores in the exercise group following the intervention period was found to be statistically significant when compared to the control group (p < 0.01). The application of physical exercise improving thoracic and shoulder mobility, nerve stretching, and hand/wrist strength and mobility, along with ergonomics training, has been shown to have a positive impact on the neck, upper extremity functions, and sleep quality of the esports players.

Our study aims to scrutinize the hormonal and laboratory profile of women with PCOS visiting a fertility center in Indonesia. A computerized database of 120 PCOS women and 120 controls was retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. According to analysis, the concentration of AMH and basal LH were significantly more elevated in the PCOS group than in the control group (6.77 vs. 2.05, P<0.001; and 6.8 vs. 5.3, P<0.001, respectively). The level of basal FSH was significantly lower in the PCOS group (5.83 vs. 7.86; P<0.001). After an IVF cycle, PCOS women had significantly higher retrieved oocytes and mature oocytes compared to controls (18 vs. 8, P<0.001; 12 vs. 6, P<0.001). The number of fertilizations, cleavages, and top-quality cleavages were also higher in the PCOS group than in the control group (10 vs. 4, P<0.001; 10 vs. 4, P<0.001; 4 vs. 2, P<0.001). At the blastocyst stage, patients with PCOS had a higher number of blastocysts and top-quality blastocysts than control (9 vs. 4, P<0.001); 4 vs. 1, P<0.01). However, the clinical pregnancy was significantly higher in the control group than in the PCOS group (52.6% vs. 16.7%; P = 0.045).

Authors: Musakulova N.
Published: July 2024

In this paper, a singularly perturbed equation of the first order is considered, the concept of a region of attraction (DO) of the solution of a singularly perturbed equation to the solution of an unperturbed equation is introduced, and the existence of an OA is proved. The problem has been set about the possibility of expanding the areas of attraction of VCA solutions. It has been proven that if there is a region of attraction, then it can be expanded to the boundary of the region under consideration. In the proof, geometric constructions were used, using the level line of conjugate-harmonic functions, the method of successive approximations and methods of asymptotic estimates.

The human body essentially needs chemical elements for various biochemical processes and metabolic reactions. Microelements are also essential in the human body to perform essential functions in the human body. Research objectives: to study the biological significance of microelements in the human body that are part of the structure of biologically active substances: enzymes, hormones and vitamins. A literature review was carried out on the importance of microelements in the human body, examples of diseases that occur with a deficiency and excess of microelements in the body are given. A lack of microelements leads to serious diseases of the body as they are involved in the metabolism of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, protein synthesis in the body, heat exchange, hematopoiesis, bone formation, reproduction, and immune reactions. When consuming refined foods, the lack of microelements and vitamins can be eliminated by taking multivitamin-mineral complexes.

Effect of Temperature on Some Biological Indicators of Cydia pomonella Linnaeus, 1758
Authors: Muradova E.
Published: July 2024

In 2022-2023 The influence of temperature on the development and reproduction of the codling moth butterfly was studied. Experiments have shown that the optimal temperature regime for mass reproduction of the codling moth in laboratory conditions is within 20-25°C. At low temperatures (15°C), butterflies live 34-35 days, and some individuals can live up to 45-50 days. This shows that these characteristics of butterflies allow them to remain viable in an unfavorable environment, although their reproduction is reduced. The experiments carried out make it possible to obtain the necessary temperature parameters for the development of fruit-eating apple trees.

The problem of population aging is relevant both in Kyrgyzstan and in the global space. At the same time, the preservation of the functional capabilities of the body of elderly people living in adverse climatic conditions is of particular importance. 20-30% of the inhabitants live in the mountainous area of Kyrgyzstan at an altitude of 2000-4000 meters above sea level. It is known that in high-altitude conditions, the body is influenced by extreme factors of the highlands, which accelerate the aging process and reduce life expectancy. This article presents data from experimental studies of energy metabolism disorders in old rats and its correction of coenzyme Q10 at an altitude of 3200 m above sea level. It was found that in old rats, under conditions of short-term adaptation in the mountains, an increase in the level of total cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoproteins was shown, and the level of high-density lipoproteins decreased, indicating a violation of lipid metabolism. Also, due to oxidative stress in high-altitude conditions, the level of malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase and catalase in the blood of animals was increased. Oral administration of coenzyme Q10 at a dose of 30 mg/kg of body weight 1 time per day for 30 days to old rats led to a decrease in total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, triglycerides and an increase in high-density lipoproteins, due to the fact that coenzyme Q10 protects the plasma membrane of the cell from lipid peroxidation, preventing oxidative modifications lipids, which leads to a reduced risk of coronary heart disease, heart attack and stroke.
