Ensayo El error en medicina. Más allá de una reflexión ético clínica
Authors: Carvallo Valenzuela Aurelio
Published: May 2024

El error es algo propio de la naturaleza humana y, en este con­texto, está incluido el error en la práctica médica. Paradojalmente, a medida que avanza la tecnología en el campo de la medicina, más se ha alejado la relación entre médico y paciente, lo que ha sido, a su vez, un factor que contribuye al error médico. Mucho se ha escrito sobre las causas del error en medicina, pero no se ha considerado lo suficiente, la importancia que tiene la formación del profesional, junto a la cual están la vocación y la comunicación. Son condiciones fundamentales, no solo en cuanto a la adquisición de conocimientos, sino, y tan importante como esta, alcanzar una capacitación en valores y humanismo, que permita un acercamiento al otro que demanda ayuda y, aleje al médico de la judicialización, para ser reemplazada por la ética en la medicina.

PHONOTACTIC AND PROSODIC FEATURES IN NEURAL NETWORK CLASSIFIERS FOR ASSAMESE DIALECT IDENTIFICATION
Authors: Das Hem Chandra
Published: May 2024

In this study, we investigate phonotactic and prosodic features for dialect identification derived from the voice signal and its transcription. Feedforward Neural Network (FFNN) classifiers are trained to distinguish between dialects using the phonotactic and prosodic features at the trisyllabic level as a representation of dialect characteristics. We show that these traits do indeed include information specific to dialects. We also demonstrate the sufficiency of phonotactic features in terms of broad phonetic categories to express the phonotactic regularities/constraints dialects. For four Assamese dialecta, the effectiveness of the FFNN classifier based on these features is assessed

Published: May 2024

The potential to provide machines emotional intelligence in order to improve the intuitiveness, authenticity, and naturalness of the connection between humans and robots is an exciting problem in the field of human-robot interaction. A key component in doing this is the robot's capacity to deduce and comprehend human emotions. In the more general domains of human-machine interaction and affective computing, emotion recognition has received extensive research. Here, we discuss current developments in emotion recognition with a focus on the setting of human-robot interaction. Reviewing the state-of-the-art of the currently used emotional models, interaction modalities, and classification algorithms is our goal. We also want to share our perspective on important concerns and potential future advances. Can artificial emotions replace the need for a real, breathing human being if socially intelligent robots can offer the friendship, loyalty, and trust that people seek? In order to comprehend the compensating process of endowing computers with emotions, giving them human characteristics and a personality, and their satisfying functions as companions, the research article delves into the depths of the human psyche. A systematic review of the literature was used to conduct the research, with books and papers on artificial intelligence and robot psychology serving as support

Authors: Hyder Jasmine , Parveen Sheeba , Lala Dr. Tarun , Sundriyal Dr. Chhavi
Published: May 2024

In order to respond appropriately to a stressful incident, therapists frequently have to deal with aggressive or depressive patient behaviors. The multidimensional model of burnout, which is based on Maslach theory, includes ideas like emotional and psychophysical tiredness, depersonalization, and a diminished sense of professional success. Burnout and age were most strongly correlated. Burnout levels have been observed to be particularly high in health professionals between the ages of 30 and 40. Additionally, the authors discovered that seniority and experience have an impact on age-dependent risk, with a higher risk of burnout in earlier career stages. Some medical workers regularly deal with patients' physical and emotional suffering as they deal with various levels of handicap. This inherently elicits emotional reactions, which may prompt careers to defend themselves by cutting off contact with their clients. Health workers respond to the emotional loads that their patients are carrying as part of their work, sometimes needing to hold back their own emotions. Thus, the purpose of this study is to ascertain how therapists' anxiety is affected by burnout

These lesions are very similar to each other and histopathology is needed to categorize them. This chapter aims to highlight specific histological characteristics seen under light microscopy that can aid pathologists in categorising common exophytic/verrucous lesions
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN'S AND WOMEN'S VISUAL AND AUDITORY REACTION TIMES?
Authors: Shan Dr. Retash
Published: May 2024

Background: Reaction time is required for a muscular reaction to start after an administered stimulus (RT). RT assesses the pace at which the central nervous system analyses sensory information and executes it as a motor response. Our bodies react to various sorts of stimuli at varying rates. It is crucial to have this on hand for everyday and emergencies. Several factors, including gender, age, physical fitness, exhaustion, distraction, and alcohol, have impacted reaction time. This visual and aural reaction time area merits more investigation, specifically the impact of object colour (red), acoustic stimulation (beep tone), and gender. Aims and Objectives: 1) To compare medical students' simple visual and auditory reaction times to red colour and beep tone. 2) To compare female and male medical students' simple visual and auditory reaction times. Materials and Methods: After gaining ethical approval (IEC/GMC/Cat-C/2021/531 dated 24/05/2021) and signing informed consent, all 250 (125 women and 125 men divided into two groups) first-year medical students from the cohort of 2020-21 aged 17 to 20 were selected. Anand Agencies Pune developed RT equipment to record VRT and ART. The data were analysed with the SPSS 26.0 statistical program and the unpaired t-test. Results: Study participants showed a statistically significant difference in their VRT for Red (R) and ART for Tone (T), respectively, with 0.199±0.033 seconds and 0.082±0.009 seconds (p < 0.001). As an added benefit, the variance of men's VRT was substantially more significant than that of women's VRT (p = 0.001), with a mean of 0.192±0.026 seconds for men and 0.206±0.037 seconds for women. In contrast, ART had no discernible gender difference (p=0.246). Conclusion: Our analysis revealed that the VRT for red was substantially higher than the ART for tone. This might be because the visual processing time is longer than the audio. Men also respond faster to VRT than women, although their responses to ART are considerably quicker or equivalent to those of women, which explain why these gender disparities occur
HANDGRIP STRENGTH VARIATIONS IN NORTH INDIAN MALE AND FEMALE MEDICAL STUDENTS AUTHOR: DR RETASH SHAN
Authors: Shan Dr Retash
Published: May 2024

Background: Handgrip strength (HGS) is the maximum force produced during maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). It can be measured by pulling and squeezing a dynamometer with one's hand to determine the amount of static force created. The handgrip dynamometer is used to exercise upper limb muscles, particularly the forearm and hand muscles. Handgrip strength is often considered an objective measure of upper extremity functional integrity. HGS is a physiological characteristic influenced by various parameters such as gender, age, and body size. The purpose of this study was to compare men's and women's maximal handgrip strength. The current study was designed to fill a gap in knowledge on the normative levels of handgrip strength in boys and females in the Jammu region. This can offer baseline data/handgrip reference values in medical students between the ages of 17 and 20. Aims and Objectives: To assess and compare Handgrip strength in healthy first-phase male and female medical subjects. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study including 250 healthy first-phase medical students aged 17-20 years (125 male and 125 female) was conducted in the research lab of GMC Jammu's Physiology department. Students with a history of upper limb injury/nerve damage, a significant illness, a musculoskeletal problem, or a history of medicines altering motor function were barred from participating in the study. The investigation was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee. A handgrip dynamometer determined maximum handgrip strength (Apex International, Amritsar; Punjab; India). The grip strength of the dominant hand was tested three times at minute intervals according to the American Society of Hand Therapists (ASHT) standard testing technique, with the more excellent reading (in kg) reflecting the maximal handgrip strength for each. Results: SPSS version 26.0 and an unpaired t-test were used to examine the data. Handgrip strength in male subjects (Mean: 41.85 kg) was statistically significant when compared to female subjects (Mean: 31.87 kg) (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Male individuals had stronger grips than female subjects. This study aims to provide a baseline of normative data (control values) among a sample cohort of GMC Jammu medical students. Our study, however, was limited to medical students between 17 and 20. We believe that diverse age groups should be studied

Published: May 2024

Advances in Technology dictate the zeitgeist of the ways in which people interact with the world. Healthcare is an integral part of life and one‟s access to and experience of the health care delivery determine the perception of its efficacy and the overall attitudes of individuals. The field of medicine cannot afford to lag behind in technology if it has to cater to the needs of a growing population. Many global events in the 20th century and the covid pandemic in the recent past have highlighted the need and benefits of incorporating newer technologies in providing the best healthcare possible for our generation. Mental Health is receiving more attention than ever and this beckons for a revolutionary but gradual change in the methods by which mental health professionals can serve our mental health needs. Digital Health Technologies are already in use in many fields of medicine and psychiatry is beginning to see its potential from community mental health to personalized care in a smartphone device. While randomized controlled trials are still underway, research up till now has shown some promise for digital health technologies in the form of smartphone apps, chatbots, artificial intelligence and robots for psychiatric disorders. Approaching this paradigm shift requires one to be optimistic but at the same time realistic in the way they help the patients and the clinicians involved in their care, without losing touch with the „human-ness‟ that connects us all. The Tele-psychiatry Guidelines 2020, published in India during the Covid Pandemic has been a guide to tweaking the existing mental health services. However, legal hassles and technical problems have been hindrances in the adoption of telepsychiatry in routine practice. As both patients and clinicians become aware of the optionality that opens up from telepsychiatric services and begin to familiarize themselves with the technology, tele-psychiatric services could ease the burden on the healthcare system while providing quality services.

Published: May 2024

The teeth are the body part that is toughest. The anatomical and chemical makeup of teeth is quite distinctive. The scientific field of tribology examines lubrication, friction, and wear. It is desirable to assess the material qualities, chemical compositions of various materials, and tooth structure in order to comprehend the wear behaviour of human teeth. Human teeth erode quite gradually. Tooth wear is a multifactorial phenomenon that combines physical, chemical, and mechanical processes, in addition to being a complicated process. The tribological behaviour of teeth is greatly influenced and determined by the oral environment in which we live. The wear processes of artificial materials used in dentistry are rather sophisticated given the intricate biomechanics and intraoral environment. Abrasion, attrition, fretting wear, corrosion, and fatigue are some of the main wear mechanisms in our mouth cavity. Various combinations of these activities result in the slow surface deterioration of materials in the oral cavity. Excessive wear may cause early failure, necessitating the replacement of dental implants and restorations. Even though we have achieved incredible progress in the area of dental wear, there is still more research and analysis that needs to be done. This will enable us to develop a bionic design, a tribological design-based therapeutic therapy against dental wear, and a systematic correlation between the tribological behaviour and structure of human teeth. Eventually, more and more study trajectories will point us in the direction of a better treatment prognosis. So maybe these talks will shed some light and offer more information about what has previously been discovered about human teeth

Joint replacement and reconstruction is one of the most rewarding surgery done by Orthopaedic surgeons worldwide, and various researches are constantly being done to improve the outcomes of this already rewarding surgery. Total knee arthroplasty is a commonly performed surgery and has seen numerous advances in terms of implant design, surgical approaches and surgical methods over the past years. Patient specific instrumentation uses preoperative 3D model, constructed using preoperative radiographs of the lower limbs, CT scans and MRI. These 3D models are used to create disposable cutting blocks or positioning templates which are specific to the patient and take into account patient’s specific anatomical landmarks, deformities and osteophytes. Robotic assisted TKA is another step towards improving accuracy of the surgical procedure. Along with the accurate bone cuts it also aids in assessing the soft tissues balance and appropriate positioning of the implant components. Sensors in TKA helps in improving a vital component of total knee arthroplasty, namely ligament balancing. Though the other technologies can assess the ligament and soft tissue tension, but still the mainstay remains the assessment by the surgeon, which relies on the BMI, the inherent laxity, joint contractures etc

Agriculture is one of the major activities in developing countries to sustain the life by providing food and other essentials to the living organism. Also, agriculture is a major water consuming sector in which irrigation practice utilizes major percentage of water of about 70-80 percent. Thus, a method is required to use water in agriculture effectively. In comparison to conventional methods, the modern irrigation system significantly reduces the amount of water used and assists irrigation scheduling mainly in some crops, like rice, require varying amounts of water as they develop. This chapter discusses about IoT based irrigation management system and suggests automating irrigation through the use of a smart phone that measures moisture content and periodically communicates data to a microcontroller via a connectivity unit. The microcontroller makes irrigation decisions and notifies the farmer through text message when the field is in good condition. This technology will raise agricultural yield because it is non-contact and non-invasive property. It can also help farmers decide how much irrigation to use in order to enhance crop cultivation. By utilizing this new age agricultural technologies, the crop's overall production costs will be reduced and also saves the time by decreasing the need for human i
TRACTOR WHEEL SLIP MEASUREMENT AND OPTIMIZATION
Authors: Chowdhury Manojit , Kushwah Ajay
Published: May 2024

Tractor wheel slip plays an important role in improving tractive efficiency and performance of the tractor. Excessive wheel slippage results in more wheel spin without tractor movement and energy loss through tire. Due to under slippage the tire sticks to the soil and requires more tractive effort for its movement resulting in wastage of fuel and power. Wheel slip should be measured during tractor operations within the field. This chapter discusses the techniques available for wheel slip measurement. The measurement of wheel slip can be obtained by different traditional and sensor-based methods. The traditional method, which includes velocity and distance measurements for a number of revolutions, is timeconsuming and less accurate. The sensor (Hall effect, Radar, Proximity and rotary encoder) based methods are capable of realtime slip estimation during tractor operation and indicating the slip status to the driver. Currently, machine vision-based technique has also been introduced for wheel slip measurement. However, more research should be carried out to determine its accuracy and acceptance in real-time tractor wheel slip measurement. Wheel slip should be optimized (8-15%) to enhance the tractive performance, fuel efficiency and field capacity
FRUIT CRACKING, ITS CAUSES AND MANAGEMENT
Authors: Misra Sukanya , Pal Ranjit , Viswakarma Govind , Sharma Gourav
Published: May 2024

Cracking is the term used to describe the phenomena of surface or tissue cracking at a variety of degrees depending on varietal susceptibilities, nutritional inadequacies, and environmental factors. Fruit cracking is one of the main quality issues, and research on the status of the nutrient calcium has shown that it plays a role in the physiological process of cellular adhesion loss. Although various external factors classified as environmental circumstances (e.g., drought, high temperature, excessive water, and strong sun radiation) have been proven to be crucial for cracking resistance, calcium represents the most researched internal factor involved in tissue cracking. Its management is focused on maintaining balanced mineral availability throughout the initial phases of fruit formation. Although the thresholds and distribution ranges causing the disorder have not been determined for each commodity, it is possible that silicon and boron, which are essential to the formation of cell walls, were also involved in cracking. In order to manage this mineral deficiency, a combination of weather patterns and crack-resistant genetic material is required. Simply using mineral supplements has not increased structural minerals or prevented cracks

A sustainable and secure food supply is a challenge in this changing world with rapid population growth, which is estimated to reach 9 billion people in 2050. However, due to climate change and other factors like limited land resources, the agriculture industry is facing a number of challenges and obstacles in terms of increasing and diversifying production. The farmers' traditional methods were unable to meet these demands. This led to the introduction of new automated techniques. These innovative techniques have the potential to supply the world's food needs while simultaneously giving billions of people access to jobs. The introduction of artificial intelligence to agriculture has revolutionised the whole sector. It can also bring about a paradigm shift in how we see farming today. Artificial intelligence applications in agriculture include automated irrigation, weeding, and spraying using sensors and other tools built into robots and drones. These technologies reduce the overuse of water, pesticides, and herbicides, thereby preserving soil fertility, assisting in the effective use of human resources, increasing output, and enhancing product quality. Hence, artificial intelligence is not a static sector but a dynamic one, opening new doors of research and innovation in the agriculture sector every day

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon (C) with a round and hollow nanostructure, framed by the movement of hexagonally shaped C molecule planes (graphene sheets) into tubes. There could be both singlewalled and multi-walled nanotubes. They are renowned for their extremely high thermal (greater than 3000 W m-1 K -1 ) and electrical conductivities (106 -107 dS m-1 ). The application of CNTs to boost crop productivity is a relatively new field that requires investigation. Due to endo-osmotic root pressure, water-soluble carbon nanotubes in the vascular bundle of plants form a "head-to-tail configuration". In response to CNT treatment, plant water absorption increases considerably. Natural organic matter (NOM) is absorbed by carbon nanotubes, and the isotherm experiment results are consistent with a modified Freundlich isotherm model. At high quantities, carbon nanotubes inhibit the activity of C degrading and phosphorus (P) mineralizing enzymes (500 ppm or beyond that). It is also capable of altering the microbial community structure in certain crop rhizospheres. According to reports, carbon nanotubes have a priming effect on C mineralization in various soils. The mineral nutrient delivery (Calcium, Iron, and Chlorine) to plants is similarly affected by multiwalled CNTs. Carbon nanotubes have been credited with increasing the growth and productivity of various crops, such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicon), gram (Cicer arietinum), and others. But CNTs are not always a win-win strategy, as greater concentrations have a negative impact on soil microbes, notably the fungal community. Despite the potential of CNTs, it is evident that society is currently evaluating potential results

This study aims to explore differences in students' learning motivation based on their learning styles. This study used a questionnaire or questionnaire method to collect data about students' learning style preferences and their learning motivation. Participants in this study were students of SDN Kertawinangun 1 who were randomly selected. The data were then analyzed statistically using descriptive tests and ANOVA tests. The results of the analysis show that there is no significant difference in students' learning motivation based on learning style. Students who have visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning disabilities do not show a high average learning motivation. Teachers can apply learning models that are appropriate to learning styles to increase learning motivation.

One key to a student's success in achieving the title of the best graduate is their learning style. This study aims to explain that learning style greatly influences the outcomes of students' struggles throughout their education at the university. This paper is based on interviews conducted with 7 top graduates from UIN Antasari Banjarmasin, selected through purposive sampling using the homogeneous sampling technique. The theory used in this research is Rita Dunn and Dunn Kanneth's. The research design employed is qualitative case study in descriptive form. The results of this study indicate that the majority of the top graduates entered the university through the test-based admission route, specifically the UM-Mandiri route. The most common reason cited by the top graduates for studying is the demand, which includes task requirements and scholarships. The most effective learning environment is a quiet room away from crowds, and music is effective in enhancing focus or concentration and providing a sense of calm while studying. Studying alone is more effective than studying in groups. The senses used are primarily visual combined with auditory perception. The most effective study time is midnight, and the strategy for dealing with difficulties in understanding lessons or completing tasks is to ask someone who has a better understanding of the material or the assigned task. This study is limited to relatively small data, which allows for further research with a larger data scope.
