Published: March 2023

The presented results of researches of choice of rational method of receipt of ferruginous constituent of different dispersion are in bullet mills for formings and cored Iron-phosphatic a mixture of KHTS, and also influence of dispersion of
dross on durability at the clench of mixture of this type.It was found that to obtain a highly dispersed iron-containing
component of phosphate КHTS in the current production is the most rational use of mechanical method - ie grinding in
ball mills, as it is effective both technologically and economically, given including the prevalence of this type of equipment. Each of the scale samples was loaded into a ball mill according to the instructions and ground for 40 minutes.
Every 5 minutes, the mill was stopped and a sample weighing 100 grams was taken, after which the particle size distribution of the scale in this sample was determined. According to the literature, there is no generally accepted classification according to the particle size distribution [7]. This is due to the variety of purposes for which the particle size distribution of a material is determined. The particle size distribution of various materials is set by standards and technical
conditions, which are developed for each individual consumer of this raw material. The normative document for determining the particle size distribution of metallurgical plants is currently unknown. The granulometric composition of rolled
scale after grinding it in a ball mill was determined. The specific surface area of scale at the level of 2300-2500 m2 / g is
achieved after 20 minutes of grinding in ball mills, which confirms the technological feasibility of their use for grinding the
metal component of iron-phosphate HTS. The obtained data on a sufficiently high compressive strength of samples of
iron-phosphate mixture, reaching 3.5 - 4 MPa, and is quite acceptable for use in the mixture for the production of bulk
sand molds and rods, showed the prospects for further research in this direction .

The COVID-19 has inevitably affected all organizations all over the world. The pandemic has created a complex and very challenging internal and external environment for the companies, which caused concerns for managers and human resource management (HRM) practitioners. Because of this, they need to find new solutions to help their employees to cope with this extraordinary crisis. The main idea behind the research is to evaluate the impact of the corona crisis on the modern workplace, i.e. to examine the influence on the pandemic on the HRM practices and trends. One of the aims of this paper is to analyze the trends in the field of human resource management, examined through the employee’s perspective. The methods used are induction, deduction, generalization and structured questionnaire. The research was conducted using a structured questionnaire in an international company, based in Skopje, North Macedonia. The results obtained from the 120 respondents show that grand changes have taken place in the field of HRM, mostly due to the corona virus pandemic. Employees, as well as company managers, are facing the fast-paced changes, which occur in the global economy, under the pressure of global pandemic. The main characteristic of 21st century is dynamic environment that imposes many challenges to companies. Based on the research results that were obtained, we can draw the conclusion that HRM sector is one of the most dynamic, fast changing and prone to fluctuations. This leads us to the inevitable need for HRM practitioners and organizations to develop an adequate approach to the emerging challenges. Contemporary organizations are intensifying their efforts in order to find an appropriate human resource management model, which will enable them to successfully deal with those challenges through the efficient use of available human resources.

Published: March 2023

The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the phenomenon of textual overlap in selected models from the letters of Ibn Ḥijjah Al-Ḥamawī (d. 837 B.H. / 1433 A.D.) in his book (Qahwat al-Inshāʼ). The study focuses on the kind of poetic input in these lettersas they are localized in their diverse contexts, which represent different literary eras, beginning with the pre-Islamic era and ending with the Abbasid era. As a result, several examples of these overlaps were reviewed and incorporated inside their historic eras, which served as the primary titles for this research. The study shows that the utilization rate of poetry varied from one era to the other. Additionally, the selected poetry entries were examined and the reasons for which Al-Ḥamawī invoked them were uncovered by establishing relationships between them and the texts that include them. The methods used to employ these poetry entries were also studied, which are described as either direct or indirect employment.

Published: March 2023

In India, gastro-duodenal ulcers are among the most prevalent diseases
affecting people. Although much research has been done on the
etiology of this disorder, especially in our region of the country, no
single etiological agent can be blamed for the development of this
particular sickness. Because stress is the single most signicant factor
in producing peptic ulcers and because modern life is so stressful and
demanding, this condition is becoming more common. One of the
devastating events that can happen to a person with gastroduodenal
ulcers is perforation. The infection with H. pylori has a signicant role
in the development of stomach cancer and peptic ulcer disease. Even
while the virus may be found in more than 50% of the world's
population, only a small percentage of those people would experience
ulcer disease or stomach cancer. This investigation aims to determine
H. Pylori's contribution to the development of gastroduodenal
perforation(1,2).

Published: March 2023

Early detection of breast cancer through mammography is crucial for successful treatment. Microcalcifications are small deposits of calcium in breast ducts, they can be an indication of breast cancer and are first detected by mammography. However, their presence must be confirmed by an histopathologist through slides examination. As a help to practitioners, we present an automatic microcalcification detection pipeline in Whole Slide Images (WSI). This pipeline is a patch-based approach, in which patches from epithelial regions are analyzed by a classifier to determine if they contain microcalcifications. We have developed two classifiers for this pipeline, one based on image processing techniques and the other on deep learning. In addition to standard classification metrics, we compare the performance of these two classifiers using custom metrics specifically designed to capture the value brought by the pipeline to pathologists. Both approaches provide promising results. The deep learning classifier has better metrics, but requires more labeled data to be implemented.

Authors: Marzi David , Gamba Paolo
Published: March 2023

In this work a methodology aimed at land cover mapping over geographically wide regions, leveraging multitemporal Sentinel-1 SAR data, is presented. The paper describes an effective way to process SAR multitemporal data in order to obtain a set of spatio-temporal features, which well-summarize the temporal patterns of different land cover classes. Moreover, in this paper an innovative approach to smartly select training points from an existing Medium Resolution Land Cover (MRLC) map is presented. Both qualitative and quantitative results over four regions of interest, with the geographical extension of 100x100 square kilometre, confirm the validity of the proposed procedure and the potential of SAR data for land cover mapping purposes. These regions, located in Siberia, Italy, Brazil and Africa, were selected to test the methodology in completely different climate environments. The experimental results show that the proposed approach allows to increase the overall accuracy by 16%, on average, with respect to existing global products.
Linearized-Trajectory Model-Predictive Controller for Improving Microgrid Short-Term Stability with Real-Time Implementation
Authors: Hamilton Dakota , Navarro Loraine , Aliprantis Dionyios , Pekarek Steven , Zweigle Greg
Published: March 2023

 A model-predictive controller (MPC) for synchronous generator-based microgrids is introduced to enhance voltage, frequency, and transient stability in fast timescales. The centralized controller uses mathematical models of power system dynamics to predict the evolution of system states over a finite horizon based on information from local state observers and relays. The MPC dynamically adjusts the setpoints of existing primary controls to maximize system stability. To address the computational challenges of a real-time MPC implementation due to nonlinear power system dynamics and short sampling intervals, a trajectory linearization technique is applied to the MPC formulation. The proposed controller is validated via a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testbed. The testbed includes an implementation of the controller in hardware, which interfaces with a high-fidelity microgrid simulation model running in a realtime simulator. State observers based on the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), which provide the controller with estimates of the system state, are also implemented. The HIL testbed is used to verify the real-time operation of the controller and evaluate its performance under modeling uncertainties.

Published: March 2023

Nowadays farmers use more and more chemical pesticides and fertilizer per acre of land in return to maximize crop production. Crop Protection from various types of pests and weeds is another concerning issue. Climate also plays more significant role by increasing temperature, it multiplies the use of insecticides. Excessive use of chemical fertilizer and pesticides pollutes the environment simultaneously and it also affects the food chain and human health. Farmer is the primary user of chemical inputs in the field. Therefore, this study aims to analyze farmers' knowledge and information related to safety concern of agrochemical uses and their impact on the environment and human health. The data of this cross-sectional study has been collected from randomly selected 50 farmers of Amdanga Block of North 24 Pargana district, West Bengal through a semi-structured interview schedule. In this study, it has been found that 54% of farmers use crop-wise fertilizer more than the recommended amount; only 10% of farmers abstain from chemical fertilizer use. There is a significant relationship between crop-wise fertilizer use and the application of weedicides and pesticides to the environment. The farmers who are using this kind of chemical pesticides reported severe environmental hazards like 62% of farmers observe any birds extinction surrounding their agricultural field, 36% responded that the water quality of the pond nearest to the agricultural field deteriorates and 28% reported occurrence of fish death and 36% farmer reported that on monsoon season their field water goes to low water region (Bil) and contaminate water. On the other hand, most of the respondents experience health issues like nausea, headache, and skin problem immediately after spraying on the field. It has been also found that 62% of respondents knew that the use of pesticides and weedicides impacts our health. Still, only 40% always use any protective measure while spraying on the field. ..............

A case of a 30 years-old male patient, diagnosed with cerebral toxoplasmosis, confirmed HIV, with positive COVID-19. Once he came to the emergency department with a chief complaint of left upper and lower limbs weakness progressing for two days. The patient appeared malnourished and was afebrile and assessed to be well hydrated. He was alert but drowsy and had speech difficulty.  A focused neurologic examination was performed and revealed a loss of nasolabial fold indicating facial nerve palsy. Neck stiffness was present and there was reduced motoric power in the left upper and lower limb of 2/5, with positive Babinski sign and Chaddock sign. According to brain CT, showed vasogenic cerebral edema and midline shift. Further laboratory exams showed positive IgG antibodies for Toxoplasma, with a titer exceeding 300 IU/ml, positive serum HIV, with CD4 cell count below 200cell/mm3. Complete blood count study highlighted low haemoglobin and elevated white cell count. He tested positive for COVID-19 by nasopharyngeal swab RT-PCR. Chest CT were done and revealed features of viral pneumonia with ground glass opacity appearance. In summary, we present a patient with cerebral involvement of toxoplasmosis possibly facilitated by pre-existing immunodeficiency as an opportunistic infections of HIV, and with COVID-19 complicated as acute infections. This case report reinforces a potential role for other comorbidities, rather than HIV infection as regards SARS-CoV-2 infection outcomes. For better assessment we need to do MRI.

The contribution of preoperative MRI evaluation to emergency surgical management of perianal abscesses
Authors: Gurbuz Defne , Hot Semih , Egin Seracettin , Kosar Tunc Melis
Published: March 2023

Objective: Perianal abscesses occur as a result of an infection in the anal gland due to the obstruction of the anal gland ducts opening to the anal crypts. Preoperative use of MRI reduces the risk of recurrence, fistula formation, and postoperative fecal incontinence as it allows detailed anatomical imaging. The aim of this study is to investigate the contribution of preoperative MRI to reducing recurrence and surgical complications in patients who underwent emergency surgery for perianal abscess.

Material  and Methods: A total of 206 patients with perianal abscess evaluated and not evaluated with MRI between January 2016 and 2021 were included in this retrospective study. The patients had no history of surgery or local drainage applied to the perianal region. In addition to demographic data of patients, postoperative complications, hospitalization duration, recurrence ratio, and MRI findings are evaluated.

Results: In the preoperative period, recurrence was found in 16 (%13.2) of 121 cases evaluated with MRI, while the disease recurred in 24 (%28.2) of 85 cases who were operated without MRI evaluation. The presence of a fistula was significantly higher while the presence of recurrence was significantly lower in the group that underwent MRI in the preoperative period (p=0.033, p=0.012 respectively).

Conclusion: Contrary to popular belief, surgical treatment of abscesses is not that easy due to the high risk of recurrence, the high rate of association with perianal fistula, and the different types and spreads of abscesses. Therefore, preoperative MRI is the most useful diagnostic method for detecting perianal abscesses and additional pathologies.
Assessing the Impact of Racism on Neurodiversity based on Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Muam MAH Pascal
Published: March 2023

Neurodiversity is an observed variation of neurological features identified in humans. The study of neurodiversity starts with the ability to understand and train humans, living things, and computers to be culturally diverse without bias. Bias in any form like algorithms or human activities gives rise to racist sentiments that affect humans. Until today, there are no concise solutions to the challenges associated with neurodiversity. Racism is one of the most unexploited underline challenging factors affecting neurodiversity. This study uses keywords for natural language processing to identify four racist morphologies such as prejudice, discrimination, antagonism, and marginalization, and hashtag for artificial intelligence to extract metadata on neurodiversity. Sixteen selected morphologies associated with neurodiversity have been identified. With the help of natural language processing, each racist morphology is matched with neurodiversity to examine the impact of racism on neurodiversity. Neurodiversity Satisfactory Score (NSS) and Neurodiversity Effort Score (NES) have been developed to measure the impact of racism. The metadata and keywords use the formulae, NE/RM≤4=1, NE/RM≤8=2, NE/RM≤12=3, and NE/RM≤16=4, to generate study statistics, where NE is Neurodiversity Element and RM is Racism Morphology. Recorded NSS and NES of 2.356 and 2.356 respectively, indicate that racism impact in the study is equal but harmful to neurodiversity. The study concludes that racism is dangerous to human health and its systematic factors greatly impact neurodiversity even though the human brain has to resist the racist tendency to maintain a balance between racism and brain diversity. The study recommends that more findings should be carried out to develop more substantial factors associated with neurodiversity.

Oltre alle considerazioni teoriche, nel presente studio si intende stabilire quali espressioni idiomatiche, contenenti termini che indicano parti del corpo umano, vengono usate per verbalizzare determinati stati emotivi. Nelle osservazioni si analizzano le pagine dei dizionari fraseologici, pratici, quelli delle collocazioni e generali grazie ai quali si evidenziano le differenze anzitutto nell’ambito della concettualizzazione metaforica delle emozioni studiate. Le divergenze osservate tra i fraseologismi somatici italiani e polacchi concernono prima di tutto il dominio origine adoperato per capire e trasmettere emozioni che spesso risultano intangibili, sfuggevoli e difficili da capire.

The paper considers the actual problem of formation of interregional clusters using spatial data analysis and models based on graph neural networks. The aim is to develop the theoretical and methodological foundations of the application of graph models and deep learning methods for the study of interregional and intermunicipal relationships in the problems of building predictive models of the economic potential of territories. The paper shows the possibility of adapting the typical architecture of spectral graph convolutional network for object clustering. Theoretical foundations for the application of a spectral graph convolutional network for spatial clustering of territories have been formulated and mathematical modeling by the example of a random graph using the tools of opensource libraries networkx, numpy of Python has been performed. The developed approaches are promising for further developments in the construction of recommendation systems in the field of interregional cooperation due to the possibility of taking into account spatial data, as well as socioeconomic indicators of territories in a single model based on the study of network structures.
