This research paper revolves around investigating the phenomenon of quenching in reaction-diffusion systems and highlighting its significance. The primary focus is on analyzing a specific type of parabolic singular reaction-diffusion model that incorporates positive Dirichlet boundary conditions. The objective is to establish the sufficiency of certain conditions for quenching to occur within a finite time frame and to demonstrate the global existence of solutions. The novelty of this paper lies in the simplicity of the conditions imposed on the nonlinearity. This simplicity allows us to choose it from a wide range of possibilities, thus facilitating the application of the model to numerous singular reaction-diffusion phenomena. To bolster our findings, we will present various real-world applications in the fields of bioengineering and life sciences, showcasing the practical relevance of quenching phenomena. Finally, the paper ends with a conclusion and some potential future perspectives for further research in this area.

Authors:   Center for Industry, SME and Business Competition Studies Universitas Trisakti, Tambunan Tulus
Published: February 2024

This paper explores the relationship between innovation and these two determinants in micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in the manufacturing industry in Indonesia, using secondary data. The key question in this research: is there evidence of the importance of DT and clustering for innovation capability in MSEs in Indonesia? The paper analyzes secondary data from Indonesia’s National Agency of Statistics and reviews key literature on innovation and digitalization in MSEs, and industrial cluster development in Indonesia. It is found that the number of industrial clusters of micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) is concentrated on the island of Java, where more than 50% of the population is located, and is the most advanced region in economic development and industrialization in Indonesia. The majority of MSME clusters are in the food industry and woodworking industries. Only a very few of MSEs in the manufacturing industry use the Internet and do innovation. The type of innovation mostly is product innovation. Both relationships between MSEs doing innovation and MSEs using the internet and the total number of clusters are positive. But, statistically, only the relationship between the number of MSEs doing innovation and use of the internet is significant.

The field application shows that social science education is still mainly theoretical. The attitude that social science education is only "for memorization" is only partially responded to by teachers who solely focus on delivering theoretical content. The classroom learning process shows that schools have not been able to optimize students' creative thinking abilities, especially in using those abilities to solve everyday challenges. To encourage student creativity, teachers must have their own creative skills. If teachers act as creative pilots for the class, student creativity will also emerge. To achieve the true goals of social science education, the lesson materials outlined in the syllabus must be well developed. New ideas or ideas that have never been thought of before are considered creative. In the field of education, creativity is very important for understanding lessons or understanding all future tasks. Therefore, efforts to foster creativity should begin from elementary school or early childhood. Creative expression and the actualization of personal identity in relation to oneself, nature, and others is an experience.

Published: February 2024

Sigmoid volvulus is a disease of elderly and debilitated patients. In sigmoid volvulus patients, colonoscopic derotation is the most commonly applied approach as the first line treatment. However, colonoscopic derotation sometimes fail and then urgent surgery is required in these frail patients with high morbidity and mortality. Percutaneous colonic gas decompression has been described to sigmoid volvulus. In case of life-threating increase intraabdominal pressure and as a primary attempt before colonoscopy. However, this technique did not find wide acceptance in the literature. Here, we aimed to present a 78-year-old male with sigmoid volvulus in whom colonoscopic derotation failed and following percutaneous gas decompression, endoscopic derotation could be done successfully. Evacuation of percutaneous colon gas in the sigmoid volvulus may facilitate endoscopic derotation when the first colonoscopic attempt failed.

Published: February 2024

Objective: Secondary peritonitis is caused by infection of the peritoneal cavity due to perforation of the alimentary tract. Mannheim’s peritonitis ındex (MPI) is a prognostic scoring system that predicts outcomes in peritonitis. Increasing MPI scores correlate with poor outcomes and mortality. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of MPI-based prognosis and its impact on Indian patients with secondary peritonitis.

Material and Methods: For understanding the effectiveness of the MPI scoring system, a cross-sectional data analysis of published studies on secondary peritonitis from 10 geographical locations in India was performed. The 10-site study results were compared with unpublished in-house study data for individual MPI parameters to analyze any variations of MPI score-based predictions across a diverse Indian population. Patients were divided into risk groups on the basis of MPI scores: <21 mild, MPI= 21-29 moderate, MPI> 29 severe risk.

Results: We observed a significant correlation between mortality with age and gender as reported worldwide. Site of perforations were prevalent in the upper alimentary tract with the majority being gastro-duodenal for the Indian population as opposed to distal parts in the western population. Higher lethality in India is often associated with evolution time, organ failure, and sepsis due to delayed presentation and poor management.

Conclusion: MPI scoring is effective in predicting risk across geographically diverse Indian populations. The sensitivity and specificity of MPI scores are more reliable and a score >29 specifically recommends aggressive resuscitation & monitoring of patients, initiation of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and intensive care support to reduce mortality and morbidity.

Published: February 2024

Objective: Despite being routinely used before elective colorectal surgery in most surgical clinics, mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate postoperative complications and outcomes of right, left, or rectosigmoid resection without MBP.

Material and Methods: Patients who underwent elective colorectal surgery without mechanical bowel preparation and oral antibiotics between January 2011 and December 2021 were included in the study. Patients were categorized according to the side of resection, and these subgroups were compared for anastomotic leakage, surgical site infections (SSI), and overall morbidity measured using the Clavien-Dindo complication grade.

Results: Data of 422 patients were analyzed. Overall anastomotic leakage was found in 14 patients (3.3%), SSI in 46 (10.9%), collection in 14 (3.3%), mortality in 18 (4.3%), and reoperation in 17 (%4) patients. Anastomotic leakage was observed in six (3.9%) in right colectomy, two (1.9%) in left colectomy, and in six (3.7%) patients in the rectosigmoid resection group when the groups were evaluated separately. There was no statistical difference between the groups (p= 0.630). Furthermore, there was no statistical difference between the groups regarding collection and reoperation (p values were p= 0.31, and p= 0.251, respectively).

Conclusion: Study results showed that anastomotic leakage, surgical site infection, intra-abdominal collection, reoperation, and mortality rates were similar to the current literature obtained from the studies with mechanical bowel preparation. In addition, these results were found to be similar according to the resection site.

Published: February 2024

Surgical site infection is the leading healthcare-associated infection and a major contributor to rising healthcare costs. Implementation of measures to reduce this problem, particularly the prophylactic use of negative pressure wound therapy, may be an effective and promising method to reduce the risk of surgical site infection in patients with closed surgical wounds. The aim of the study was to identify the effectiveness of negative pressure wound therapy as a prophylactic measure in reducing the risk of surgical site infection in patients with a closed surgical wound. Whittemore and Knafl’s five-step integrative review framework was carried out using three electronic databases. MEDLINE with Full-text, CINAHL with Full-text and Academic Search Complete were searched through the EBSCOhost Web platform. Articles search publication date was between 2018 and 2022. Nine studies were identified that addressed the effectiveness of prophylactic negative pressure wound therapy in reducing the risk of surgical site infection in the patient with a closed surgical wound. There was also evidence of effectiveness in reducing surgical wound dehiscence, drainage output and drainage time, as well as reducing the incidence of hospital readmissions and the need for wound debridement. Prophylactic negative pressure wound therapy can be an effective treatment option, among others, in reducing the risk of surgical site infection in patients with a closed surgical wound. This evidence promotes improved clinical practice regarding the management of the closed surgical wound, promoting health gains for patients.

Published: February 2024

The usage of hand gestures to operate digital devices has grown in recent years, and developing accurate gesture recognition systems using computer vision technology is becoming easier. Voice assistants have also become more common, with developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) allowing for more accurate voice recognition. Our goal is to create a system which combines both gesture-controlled mouse functionality and voice assistant to execute things that a regular mouse and keyboard can. The GCVA (Gesture Controlled Voice Assistant) comes with a gesture-controlled mouse and a voice assistant. A gesture-controlled mouse uses OpenCV and Media-Pipe, whereas a voice assistant uses AI and NLP concepts to recognize the voice commands given by the user. The system should be used by performing hand gestures and executing the right click, left click, drag, drop, volume control and computer cursor functions, thereby omitting the need for a physical mouse. The success of this system is observed in terms of practicality, stability, and compatibility with physical mechanisms. The voice assistant works and responds to pre-defined commands present in the system. The GCVA system was tested by four different users in order to generate the accuracy scores of mouse gestures and response time graphs for voice assistant. The system yields an accuracy rate of 98%. The system's accuracy and usability showed that hand gesture detection and voice assistants have the potential to replace traditional input devices in the future.

Authors: Arivoli A  , Paul Soumya Brata
Published: February 2024

Across the globe, Smartphones enjoy a high ownership rate. A person’s day-to-day activities are incomplete without the use of smartphones. These sensor-rich devices are often repurposed to collect various forms of data from the user in the domains of 1) app usage, 2) overall phone activity, 3) location, 4) day and night-time activity, 5) communication, 6) social media behavior and so on. This information collected from sensor and log data taken from smartphones can be used to create predictive measures extending to an individual’s Big Five personality traits and examine them. Human activity recognition (HAR) as a field has always tried to improve its performance in the aspects of feature extraction and improve the accuracy of recognition and prediction by performing various machine learning techniques on the data received from accelerometer and gyroscope sensors and creating convolutional neural networks to recognize the multiple activities such as walking, jogging, walking up or down the stairs, etc. Although HAR is a recognized research field, there have been significant challenges such as a) different movements for different individuals, b) limited training data, and c) complexity of performed activities. The idea of this project is to create a HAR model with the help of Machine Learning and Deep Learning, which will be more efficient in terms of performance and accuracy than the conventional models and try to overcome the challenges. That will be applied to the Smartphone data to predict a smartphone user’s activity at one point of the day. The idea is to also get an analysis of the behavioral traits of the user in terms of online expenditure and predict the date of the next purchase. That will be done to send personalized information such as offers and announcements to the user catered according to their needs to enhance their personal experience.

This work provides a privacy-preserving multi-dimensional media sharing system, SMACD, for portable cloud computing scenarios within the context of widespread media sharing enabled by cloud computing and devices. Attribute-based encryption is used to jumble each media layer, ensuring media privacy and granular access control. To reduce the complexity of the get-to arrangement and adapt to the properties of multi-dimensional media, a multi-level get-to arrangement development with a secret-sharing plot is presented. For both intra-server and inter-server deduplication, decentralized key servers are offered. With cloud computing, databases and application software are moved to sizable data centers, where data and service management may not be entirely reliable. However, this special feature brings up a number of new, poorly understood security challenges. Due to the fact that both user data and applications are on provider premises, cloud computing raises data security problems as neither is entirely contained on the user's machine. Although clouds often have a single architecture, they can have numerous customers with various needs. The solution provided by all cloud providers is to use encryption methods to encrypt the data. To solve every issue, there's also a potential that the cloud service is unreliable
