High-quality feeding in cattle breeding is an important factor in the prevention of diseases associated with metabolic processes, which in turn affects the quality of animal products. The use of feed additives allows not only to compensate for the lack of various nutrients obtained from feed, but also to replenish the resources of the organism, which are depleted due to high productivity. One of the solutions is the inclusion of supplements containing polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet of dairy cows, one of the sources of which is linseed oil. It is known that its introduction into the diet has a positive effect on the rumen microbiome, which in turn increases the digestibility of feed, the intensity of assimilation of its components and allows to achieve higher productivity. The combination of positive factors suggests that it is possible to accelerate the recovery of animals in the postpartum period and achieve better clinical performance. For this purpose, it is possible to study clinical, morphological and biochemical indices of blood. The purpose of this experiment was to study the effect of feed additive containing linseed oil on clinical, morphological and biochemical blood parameters of dairy cows. The feed additive was introduced into the diet of cows that calved 2–4 weeks before the beginning of the experiment and was used during the next 2 months for the experimental group and was not used for the control group. According to the results of the experiment there were obtained results indicating the effectiveness of the feed additive use: blood parameters of animals that received the additive during all 2 months of the experiment were closest to the optimal values.

The article considers issues related to the structure of pubescence and the variability of hair color in sables of farm populations, and compares them with the literature data on hunted sable. The skins of male and female sables of the black sable and Saltykovskaya 1 breeds from fur farms LLC «PZK Magistralny», LLC «Znamenskoye Animal Farm», CJSC «Biruli» and LLC "ZPZ Savvatievo" were used for the study. The following indicators were analyzed: the height of the guard and fur-fibre hair, the variability of the color of the guard hair, the frequency of occurrence of pigmented fur-fibre tops, the variability of the color of the base and tops of fur-fibre hair, the ratio of the height of the pigmented fur-fibre tops to the total height of the fur-fibre. Subsequently, it was concluded that the difference between the height of the guide hair and fur-fibre is greater on the skins of farm sables compared to the hunted ones, which may have an effect on reducing the softness and silkiness of the hair of sable skins of farm populations. From 11 to 100 % of farm sable skins have a non-uniform fur-fibre hair color along the length of the shaft. Among the studied skins, there is a significant number of skins with undesirable for farm sable shades of the base and tops of fur-fibre hair. The presence of animals with atypical guard and fur-fibre coloration in herds makes it possible for breeders to work on obtaining farm sables with a more diverse color, which is in demand in the modern fur market.

Published: September 2024

Evaluation and development of shale gas deposits need exact calculation of adsorbed gas concentration. However, gas adsorption and desorption experiments are time-consuming and costly. Models based on physics and empirical correlations cannot anticipate these experiments. Based on geological factors, this study intends to construct a cost-effective and accurate machine-learning model to estimate adsorbed shale gas. In this study, 601 data points from shale gas reserves were utilized. These include reservoir temperature (T,°C), total organic carbon (TOC, wt%), vitrinite reflectance (Ro,%), Langmuir pressure (PL), and volume. Based on Support Vector regression (SVR), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO), and Sparrow Search Algorithms (SSA) were created, trained, and evaluated. The accuracy of the different models is calculated by correlation coefficient (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), average absolute relative deviation (AARD), and the duration of time each specified model (PSO-SVR, GWO-SVR, and SSA-SVR) takes to evaluate the effectiveness of each prediction model.
The results showed that three optimization models (PSO-SVR, GWO-SVR, and SSA-SVR) can make good predictions. However, the PSO-SVR model is the most accurate at predicting Langmuir pressure and volume and takes the least amount of time, with RMSE and R2 values of 0.09990 and 0.9605, respectively. The GWO-SVR has an estimated RMSE of 0.1092 and R2 of 0.9529, whereas the SSA-SVR has 0.1264 and 0.9368 for Langmuir volume. PSO-SVR had the lowest time requirement for Langmuir pressure data inputs, with RMSE and R2 of 0.5017 and 0.9306, respectively. The findings indicate that all models can accurately forecast adsorbed gas, with the PSO-SVR model performing somewhat better than the GWO- and SSA-SVR models

Authors: - Sombuddha Roy Bhowmick
Published: September 2024

Machine learning methods are widely used for prediction of the pathogenicity and deleteriousness of the different types of single nucleotide variants (SNVs). This study encompasses a preliminary approach towards the application of different types of machine learning algorithms on the dbNSFPv4.7 (database of Nonsynonymous SNPs Functional Predictions) database to compare the various prediction algorithms and conservation scores to determine which one performs the best. This paves the way for selecting the best prediction algorithm or the combination of the better prediction algorithms in annotation of the variants and classifying them as pathogenic or likely pathogenic, benign or likely benign. The different learning approaches were compared based on the metrices like, accuracy, recall, precision and F1 score. Among the different variant prediction algorithms and conservation scores available in the dbNSFP database, BayesDel AF was the best perfoming followed by BayesDel noAF, MetaRNN, MCAP and MutPred. bStatistic, fitCons, fathmm XF, MutationTaster and phastCons17way primate performed the worst among 31 prediction algorithms and 9 conservation scores selected for this study. The best performing features or instances can be prioritized over others while selecting the functional prediction algorithms, which are used to determine the driver mutations or the pathogenic variants from omics datasets.

Published: September 2024

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) represents a major public health problem that has been increasing in India and all over the world. Alcohol users have a three-fold increased risk of developing another psychiatric disorder. Hence, the purpose of this study was to assess the magnitude of psychiatric comorbidities in patients with AUD and to describe the prescription pattern of drugs used in their management. The prevalence of Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) among AUD patients was respectively found to be 37.01% and 32.20% considering from mild to severe level of disorder. A significant association was found between AUD patients diagnosed with Depression and those diagnosed with GAD with p-value significant at <0.05, where 30.79% of patients were having both Depression and GAD. From the treatment view, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) especially Escitalopram made up 94.44% of antidepressants used to treat depressive AUD patients. Lorazepam (47.5%) was the most prescribed benzodiazepine drug used to treat AUD patients with GAD. From this study, it is evident that psychiatric comorbidities are common in patients diagnosed with AUD. Therefore, a thorough assessment of the mental health of such patients is necessary. A proper treatment strategy should be planned and implemented to provide an effective treatment care to AUD patients alone and to those experiencing any other psychiatric comorbidities at the same time, thereby promoting better health outcomes and preventing alcohol relapse and withdrawal.

Authors: - Puja Saxena Nigam
Published: September 2024

Cities are engines of growth for the economy of every nation including India. According to Census2011, nearly 31% of India’s population lives in urban areas and contributes 63% of India’s GDP. By 2030, it is expected that growing urbanization will lead to 40% of population in Urban areas and roughly 75% of India’s GDP. Cities thus, need to develop comprehensively to accommodate the migrating population. This requires development of physical, institutional, social and economic infrastructure. To set in motion the virtuous cycle of growth, development of ‘Smart Cities’ is a way out. A ‘Smart City’ is conceptualization of an idea that varies from country to country and from region to region. For India, the picture of a ‘Smart City’ is a building that stands tall and firm on its pillars of institutional, physical, social and economic infrastructural developments. Long term goals can lead this concept by adding layers of ‘smartness’.
National Smart Cities Mission is an urban renewal and retrofitting programme by the Government of India with the mission to develop Smart Cities across the country, making them citizen friendly and sustainable. The Union Ministry of Urban Development initiated the mission in collaboration with State Governments of various cities in 2015.It planned to include 100 cities with the deadline of completion of projects between 2019-2023.As of July 2024, 7202 projects out of a total 8018 tendered projects have been completed, utilizing ₹ 144,530 crores out of the total tendered amount of ₹164,163 crores.
This paper is an attempt to study the concept of ‘Smart City’, the challenges of urbanization, the Smart Cities Mission of Government of India- its implementation, results so far and the future that lies ahead. The analysis of data available would be used to structure a course of action indicative of the aim of Viksit Bharat @2047.
Diagnosis, Genetic Counseling and Risk Assessment in Alzheimer’s Disease: Methodologies, Implications, and Ethical Considerations
Authors: - Paula Denisa Saragea
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder with significant genetic and environmental components. Accurate diagnosis, genetic counseling, and risk assessment are essential for managing the disease and informing preventive and therapeutic strategies.
Materials and Methods: The study conducted included a comprehensive review of current diagnostic criteria for AD, including the NINCDS-ADRDA, DSM-V-TR, and Romanian guidelines. The study examined methodologies for genetic counseling and risk assessment, focusing on both early-onset (EOAD) and late-onset (LOAD) forms of AD. The analysis integrated data from clinical evaluations, neuroimaging, genetic testing, and empirical risk tables to assess recurrence risks and provide guidance for genetic counseling.
Results and Discussion: Diagnostic criteria for AD require the presence of cognitive deficits, progressive neurodegenerative processes, and exclusion of other conditions. Genetic counseling involves assessing family history, calculating recurrence risks based on empirical data table, and considering both mendelian and non-mendelian inheritance patterns. Genetic risk factors, such as mutations in PSEN2, APP, PSEN1, and APOE ε4, significantly influence the likelihood of developing AD. The recurrence risk is categorized into low, moderate, high, and very high levels, depending on genetic findings and familial patterns. The counseling process must be personalized, taking into account the patient's educational level, psychological state, and ethical considerations.
Conclusion: Accurate diagnosis and effective genetic counseling are crucial for managing AD and informing at-risk individuals. Understanding genetic risk and recurrence probabilities aids in personalized prevention strategies and decision-making. Genetic counselors play a vital role in providing tailored advice while adhering to ethical standards and ensuring informed, empathetic communication with patients and their families.

This paper presents selected historical mortality statistics and analyze their characteristics and trends. Statistics are collated particularly for the pandemics related with cholera, plague, Spanish flu and covid-19 between 1720 -2020. We introduce epidemic and epidemic spreading. Then the dissertation continues with brief introduction and discussion of Epidemic models such as SI, SIS and SIR Epidemic pass-through populations and persists over long time periods. Thus, efficient modeling of the understanding network plays a crucial role in understanding the spread and prevention of an epidemic. Further the mathematical modelling of infectious disease epidemics on network, starting from the simplest Erdos-Renyi random graphs, Percolation on graph and epidemics is studied. We also show empirical results of applying the models to calculate the spread of contagion and information connectivity on two complex networks suitable for the models. Based on the results, we calculate centrality metrics reflecting the outcome of the application, highlighting its important properties. We observed that the centrality values obtained by running the epidemic model and the connectivity model turn out to be mutually equivalent, as predicted by their similar fashions of calculation. Here we study about the network Modelling of Epidemics and its similarities with the probabilistic model.

The increasing use of social media, such as TikTok, is one of the impacts of internet development, which has become a popular and successful platform for businesses in Indonesia to build relationships with customers and increase sales through content marketing in the form of short videos. However, the level of customer advocacy in sharing content with others remains low, despite efforts to enhance entertainment intentions. The methodology used in this study is quantitative. Non-probability sampling with G-power was used to choose the sample for this study, and the respondents were TikTok users who had shared skincare content after seeing a video that was posted in the Jakarta region. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using a Partial Least Square (PLS) technique is the research model used. The findings show that content marketing influences entertainment intentions positively and significantly, that entertainment intentions influence customer advocacy positively and significantly, and that content marketing influences customer advocacy both directly and indirectly through entertainment intention. Furthermore, it appears that both male and female consumers react in a similar way to the relationship between entertainment intention and customer advocacy, which is not moderated by gender.
Impact of COVID-19 Coronavirus on Industry Standards 4.0 and 5.0
Authors: - Anbu S
Published: September 2024

In 2019, the coronavirus that spread worldwide lasted until the middle of 2022. There was a kind of recession that had a huge impact on all types of industries. It also influenced subsequent industry-standard developments. The first Industrial Revolution 1.0 was started in the 18th century. i.e. this first Industrial Revolution began with the discovery of the power of “stream”. Clothing production was increased because all handlooms were converted to steam-powered machinery. Later in 1825, steam engines were used in Trains. Industry-standard 2.0 began, after the invention of electricity in the 19th century and industries gained momentum. Businesses were launched at lightning speed. Electricity was the impetus for many inventions. Then in the 20th century, a major industrial revolution, i.e. Industry Standard 3.0 took place after the invention of computers. Computers were used in all factory offices and houses. From budgeting to all kinds of science, physics, and economics, computer applications have increased and made human work easier. The computer industry grew at lightning speed and gave birth to this third industrial revolution. In the 1970s/1980s, computer networks and Internet technologies paved the way for the fourth industrial standard 4.0. The world has shrunk to the size of a palm. After the year 2000, Artificial Intelligence, IoT, Big data analytics, and robotics gave birth to the industrial standard 5.0.
A Framework for Enhancing Online Food Delivery Systems with Fog Computing
Authors: - Shaifali Malukani
Published: September 2024

This paper presents a fog computing framework designed to enhance the performance of online food delivery systems by reducing latency and improving packet transfer efficiency. Unlike traditional cloud-based systems, which often suffer from high latency due to centralized data processing, the proposed framework leverages fog computing to distribute processing closer to users, thereby minimizing delays and enhancing service responsiveness. A key contribution of this framework is its strategic approach to service placement, which delineates the optimal distribution of services between cloud and fog environments. This strategic distribution aims to balance computational load and enhance overall service efficiency. Although the framework is currently at a conceptual stage, it lays out a comprehensive plan for future practical implementation. Subsequent work will involve deploying the framework in real-world settings, evaluating its performance, collecting user feedback, and conducting security assessments to confirm its benefits and refine its functionalities. This work provides a foundational approach for leveraging fog computing to advance online food delivery systems, setting the stage for future developments in this area.

Objective: To determine the incidence of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in cirrhosis patients with spontaneousbacterial peritonitis receiving Lactulose, Rifaximin, or a combination of both, and to compare the efficacy ofthese treatments.Study Design: Cross-sectional study.Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at the Department of Medicine, Pak Emirates MilitaryHospital Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from September 2021 to August 2022.Methods: Using consecutive sampling, diagnosed cases of decompensated Chronic Liver Disease with clinicallyapparent ascites, visiting the outpatient department, with or without signs and symptoms of spontaneousbacterial peritonitis (SBP) were included in the study after laboratory confirmation of spontaneous bacterialperitonitis. The drug history was taken, and hepatic encephalopathy was diagnosed using Mini-mental ScaleExamination and West-Haven criteria. The incidence of hepatic encephalopathy was compared across thegroups using the Pearson Chi-square test.Results: A total of 60 diagnosed Chronic liver disease patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis wereincluded in the study. Rifaximin was being used by 41.7% (n=25), 41.7% (n=25) patients were using lactulosealone and 16.7% (n=10) were using a combination of both drugs. 58.3% (n=35) of patients were found to havehepatic encephalopathy. Out of these, 42.8% (n=15) were using rifaximin alone, 54.2% (n=19) were usinglactulose alone, while just 2% (n=1) patients were using the combination of both drugs (P < 0.001).Conclusion: Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis is an important trigger of hepatic encephalopathy in the settingof decompensated chronic liver disease and is associated with high mortality. The use of lactulose and rifaximincombination is superior to monotherapy with either of them for preventing hepatic encephalopathy in thesepatients.
