Authors: Divyanshu Divyanshu , Martolia Jaya , Saxena Anamika
Published: June 2024

Antipyretic medications are frequently required for fever, a natural physiological reaction to infection or inflammation, to reduce symptoms and enhance patient comfort. The active enantiomer of ibuprofen, dexibuprofen, offers a more appealing substitute because of its improved pharmacokinetic characteristics, which include a longer half-life and less gastrointestinal side effects. To overcome the drawbacks of traditional dose forms and enhance patient compliance, particularly in the case of juvenile and geriatric populations, this research study describes the development and assessment of a unique chewable tablet containing dexibuprofen as an antipyretic medication. To maximize medication distribution and improve palatability, dexibuprofen was carefully blended with excipients and flavoring ingredients during the formulation process. The prepared chewable tablets were thoroughly examined for their physical attributes, homogeneity of drug content, disintegration time, dissolution profile, and palatability. According to the results, the chewable tablets met or exceeded pharmacopeial requirements for positive qualities such as consistent drug content, quick disintegration, complete dissolve, and acceptable palatability. The study's conclusions imply that the chewable tablet that was created offers a viable way to manage fevers, addressing issues with conventional dose forms while offering quick and efficient relief. Furthermore, the chewable formulation's appeal and convenience may help to boost treatment results and patient adherence, which would increase overall therapeutic efficacy in fever management circumstances.
Numerical Assessment Of Tunnel Shape For Liquefaction- Induced Uplift
Authors: Bakour Sami
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the liquefaction and the settlement or the displacement occurring during an earthquake and causing the damage to the underground structure by uplift displacement. If the soil is saturated, then it’s the soil which mostly susceptible to liquefaction especially those fully saturated soil. Sandy soil is very susceptible soil to liquefaction since its particle size are quite bigger and has irregular shaped, which leads to the existence of air gaps in between the sand particles. Liquefaction usually tends to happen in low lying regions where there's actually water underneath so like a water table underneath the soil which help the water molecules to rise up in the sand and kind of like sit below the surface, but fill some of those air gaps. Now, what happens when an earthquake hits is that the ground is shaking, and these particles are squeezed together and compressed so that the water has to go somewhere. If you imagine these particles are being squeezed together, what happens is the water molecules move upwards and it saturates all of this sand and the water bubbles up to the surface and creates low liquid a liquid Sandy. It's essentially like quicksand.
AREA BASE OF COST ESTIMATION FOR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS USING AN ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK
Authors: Alabdalı Nooralhuda
Published: June 2024

Managers of projects monitor the project schedule and compare planning values with the actual cost into the project and how much of it is earned value. One of success methods for managing the construction projects is to find the effective cost factors and investigate the correlations between them. In order to determine the discrepancies, the Execution Phase performance measures are compared to the baseline metrics decided upon in the Planning Phase. The significance of these deviations is assessed by factoring them into the control methods at every stage. For that, the present paper developed an ANN technique for project management to monitor the cost of project based on the correlation between the project size and the project cite area within the implementation process. The contribution in this paper is to present a project planning cost mimic the real actual cost. Modifications to the project can be monitored using this method, which takes into account both the nature of the work being done and the time frame during which it is being performed. To gauge the system's efficacy, the ANN system was applied to structural concrete and building walls. The system's final output demonstrated a straightforward and reliable method of tracking and observing progress.

Authors: Almıqasbı Tarıq Abraheem Mohammed
Published: June 2024

A three-dimensional analytical solution was derived for an incompressible steady potential at an initially uniform velocity flow around a sphere, which translates forward, backward, rotates longitudinally or transversally. The concept of relative velocity was used to analyze the flow around the transitionally moving sphere. To analyze the flow around the longitudinally rotating sphere, A formula of the circumferential velocity of the fluid is found at the equatorial plane of the sphere and then generalized to the whole sphere as an approximation. The superposition principle of velocities was used to analyze the flow around the transversely rotating sphere, the stagnation points were detected and analyzed, the pressure distribution at the equator was calculated and compared with the experimental and CFD results, and the lift coefficient was calculated and compared with the experimental results and a good agreement for C_p and C_L was found at low spin factors, In contrast, at high spin factors the results begin to diverge due to the viscous effects and eddy formation.

Published: June 2024

Objective: Hematological changes related to osteoporosis in elderly people are largely unknown. Our aim was to systemically evaluate the associations between platelet parameters and osteoporosis in two large elderly Chinese populations. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 1,982 (Sample 1) and 3,675 (Sample 2) participants selected from our ongoing cohort study: Osteoporosis Preventive Project (OPP). The platelet parameters were measured by a Mindray automatic blood cell analyzer. Platelet parameters include platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), and plateletcrit (PCT). Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry with Hologic densitometers (Hologic Inc., USA). We performed the chi-squared test, the Kruskal–Wallis rank test, Spearman correlation analysis, and partial correlation analysis to detect the associations between platelet parameters and bone mineral density. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software (version 25.0), with a significance level set at P<0.05. Results: Among the three groups categorized by lumber spine (LS) BMD, PLT, PDW, and PCT were significantly different among the three groups. These results were consistent and replicated in the two samples (P<0.05). Similarly, significant differences only for PLT (P=0.003) and PCT (P=0.004) were observed in Sample 2 among the three groups categorized by femoral neck (FN) BMD. Further in-depth intergroup difference tests also found the differences still existed among the subgroups. The associations are negative for PLT and PCT, but positive for PDW with LS BMD and FN BMD (P<0.01) in both samples when unadjusted. Conclusion: The results suggest that three parameters (PLT, PDW and PCT) have significant correlations with BMD. This study increased our understanding of their relationship and probably provides a valuable reference for future studies on the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of osteoporosis.

Published: June 2024

The main factor of periodontal disease is dental plaque, which is attached to the surface of the teeth and consists of microorganisms originating from saliva and food debris. Dental plaque has a transparent colour, so a disclosing agent is needed to identify it. Sappan wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) is a plant that contains brazilin and flavonoids that can be used for natural colouring. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of sappan wood extract (Caesalpinia sappan L.) as an alternative material for dental plaque identification. The experiment was conducted by measuring the plaque index of 20 people who did not clean their teeth for 12 hours for two periods. The first period of examination used a tablet disclosing agent, and the second period used 75% sappan wood extract. The research data were analyzed for normality with the Shapiro-Wilk dan Paired T-test. The result showed a significant difference in the mean plaque index score in the first period (1.3470) and the second period (1.0375) (p<0.05). It was concluded that staining dental plaque using a disclosing agent is more effective than 75% sappan wood extract (Caesalpinia sappan L.)

Published: June 2024

In the contemporary landscape, roughly one-fourth of worldwide carbon dioxide emissions stem from industrial energy usage. In the industrial sector, improving the efficient and flexible coupling among different energy demands (electricity, heating, and cooling) and exploiting the integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) and waste heat can lead to a drastic reduction in CO2 emissions, these are also the goals of the EU founded Horizon Europe FLEXIndustries project.
This study aims to establish a cost-optimized decarbonization strategy for an energy-intensive industry, focusing on an Italian pharmaceutical company. It delves into the exploration of potential pathways and diverse energy mix configurations. The approach undertaken involves coupling a customized energy system simulation framework, specifically designed for the industrial site, with a Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA). The study, conducted with a focus on the year 2024, involves a comparative analysis of three distinct scenarios. Within the intricate and challenging constraints of the industrial demo site, 13 technologies were investigated. The outcomes of each scenario identify a set of 500 Pareto optimal solutions, obtained through 40,000 simulations. These results shed light on the compelling potential of hybrid solutions, showcasing the feasibility of achieving substantial decarbonization with only moderate increases in costs. The availability of land for RES technologies, along with the existence of a biomass supply chain in the region, emerge as pivotal determinants.

Climate-smart agriculture options on coarse-textured soils for improved food security in semi-arid areas
Authors: Makaita Madamombe Sandra
Published: June 2024

Rainfed maize production by smallholder farmers is at risk due to climate change, exacerbated by low soil moisture and poor fertility in sandy soils under semi-arid conditions. This thesis assessed climate-smart agriculture (CSA) options to deal with the risks. A survey was conducted in Zimbabwe to assess farmers’ awareness of extreme weather events, their adaptation strategies and associated maize yield. On-farm experiments evaluated CSA options for management of soil water, nutrients and crop density. All 245 farmers interviewed reported awareness and experience of extreme weather events such as drought, flooding and temperature changes. However, despite a range of reported adaptation strategies, reported maize yield averaged only 0.6 t ha-1. Integrating sub-surface water retention technology (SWRT) with different maize densities or soil amendments improved maize productivity to different degrees in dry (305-352 mm) and wet (424-780 mm) seasons. Use of SWRT increased maize grain by 21-24% and total biomass yield by 13-22%, and showed potential to increase maize rainwater use efficiency (RWUE) over four years. Plant density increased from 37,000 to 43,000 plants ha-1 gave optimal four-year average maize grain yield (2.7 t ha-1), and RWUE (5.5 kg ha-1 mm-1). Combining organic and inorganic soil amendments gave 2.3-3.4 t ha-1 grain yield as a three-year average. Average maize yield ranged between 0.3-1.4 t ha-1 in dry seasons and 3-5.5 t ha-1 in wet seasons. In conclusion, management of crop density, soil water and nutrients in smallholder farming increased maize productivity to varying degrees due to seasonal variations in rainfall patterns.

Published: June 2024

O trabalho em saúde é constituído de diversas especificidades e requer profissionais com habilidades técnicas e conhecimentos científicos para a prática segura. Os profissionais da saúde, durante suas atividades diárias nas instituições de saúde, estão expostos aos riscos ocupacionais, como, por exemplo, os aparelhos emissores de radiação ionizante. A exposição à radiação ionizante, incluindo a exposição associada ao uso de equipamentos de raios-x, é considerada um risco ocupacional do tipo "risco físico" ou "risco químico", dependendo da natureza específica da exposição. Esse tipo de risco pode ser mitigado por meio de medidas de proteção adequadas, como o uso de equipamentos de proteção individual, monitoramento da dose de radiação recebida pelos trabalhadores e práticas operacionais seguras. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o que os profissionais de saúde entendem sobre proteção radiológica e como essa temática é desenvolvida no cotidiano da prática assistencial de uma unidade cirúrgica de um hospital universitário na região sul do Brasil. O estudo apresenta abordagem qualitativa, do tipo exploratória. O local escolhido para o estudo foi uma unidade cirúrgica de um hospital universitário da região sul do Brasil. Os participantes foram os profissionais que atuavam diretamente na assistência, como médicos, enfermeiros, fisioterapeutas, técnicos e auxiliares de enfermagem, totalizando 50 participantes.

В якості теоретичних методів використано логіко-семантичний аналіз зарубіжних і вітчизняних психолого-педагогічних джерел з дослідженнями формування оптимізму, а також узагальнення і порівняння отриманої інформації для формулювання висновків проведеного дослідження. Емпіричними методами стали аналіз нормативно-правових документів і опитувань учнів молодшої та середньої школи, в також дослідження методом опитування. Дискурсивний аналіз сучасних наукових джерел, присвячених вивченню ролі і значення життєвого оптимізму у формуванні життєвої успішності, дозволив уточнити сучасні наукові підходи до розвитку життєвого оптимізму серед учнів і підкреслити його важливість для підтримки психічного та фізичного здоров'я. Та прийти до висновку, що навички оптимізму можуть допомогти студентам виховати в собі життєву витривалість для подолання негативних обставин, стимулюють мотивацію до постійного особистісного розвитку, підтримують бажання стати відповідальними та ініціативними громадянами, готовими до змін та впевненими у власних здібностях конкурентоспроможними професіоналами. Крім того, вони сприяють покращенню загального самопочуття та мають позитивний вплив на показники здоров'я у довгостроковому аспекті. Реінтерпретація висновків попередніх наукових розвідок і результатів нашого дослідження доводить, що оптимізм не лише сприяє досягненню успіху, а й має значущий вплив на загальний рівень задоволення життям та соціальну адаптацію. Це підкреслює важливість включення виховних стратегій, які сприяють розвитку оптимізму, у загальноосвітній процес. Результати цієї та суміжних робіт можуть бути корисними як для психологів, керівників та інших спеціалістів, які працюють у галузі особистісного розвитку та ефективного управління, так і для співробітників закладів середньої освіти.

Stocks and Options Portfolio Optimisation With Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Bloch Daniel
Published: June 2024

We present a model-free reinforcement learning (RL) framework for portfolio optimization across multiple assets and option prices. We directly model the relationship between the portfolio weights and the predictors with a network and maximize performance metrics for portfolio construction by using RL. We construct a portfolio, such that for any quantity of option that we buy or sell, we have a quasi-replicating portfolio made of a quantity of stock and a quantity of cash. We propose Cross-Asset-Option Transformers (CAOTs) to recover the interrelationships among options and their corresponding assets, which we use to construct a long-short or a bottom-up portfolio. We then maximize performance metrics of our portfolio with RL.
Tensoring volatility calibration
Authors: Ruiz Ignacio and Zeron, Mariano
Published: June 2024

A series of papers have explored the use of Deep Neural Nets to substantially speed up the calibration of pricing models. This paper uses Chebyshev Tensors for the same purpose. In particular, it shows how the computational bottleneck in the calibration of the rough Bergomi volatility model can be alleviated using Chebyhsev Tensors. The calibration speed and accuracy obtained in this paper is comparable to when Deep Neural Nets are used. Building efforts, however, are up to 100 times lower, allowing for much faster pricing model proxy update - a feature of particular importance at times of market distress. This constitutes a further enhancement over the already sizable improvement provided by Deep Neural Nets.

Por que non caen as nubes? Por que chove cando chove? Que condicións físicas determinan o momento da choiva?
Authors: De la Viña José María
Published: June 2024

Chama poderosamente a atención que se nos paramos a reflexionar sobre o peso dunha gota de auga, e o peso dun mesmo volume de aire circundante, como se pode explicar, como comprender que a pinga de auga no caia ó chan inmediatamente? Nas miñas clases de EXB e BUP tiña por costume buscar exemplos cotiás, que estando ó noso redor, desen conta dos múltiples exemplos que nos proporciona a Natureza de comportamentos, que poden ser explicados pola Ciencia, e que, por tanto, teñen un interese inmediato nas disciplinas de Física, Química e Matemáticas, para explicar dito comportamento. Tal é o caso de por que non caen as nubes, pero tamén teño falado de por que o ceo é azul, por que os planetas son redondos a partires dun certo tamaño, por que non caen os habitantes que están “abaixo” (no hemisferio Sur), por que os paxaros non se electrocutan ó pousar sobre as liñas de alta tensión, por que o ceo se pon vermello na saída e na posta diaria, e así máis exemplos que non poño aquí por extensión. Buscando unha explicación de contido científico, comecei a pescudar en Internet sobre unha explicación convincente de por que non caen as gotas de auga dunha nube, e mesmo como se forma. Para miña sorpresa non atopei ningún artigo que abondara neste campo; dando, en ocasións, explicacións case absurdas e moi pouco convincentes, cando non eludindo unha explicación máis rigorosa.

BACKGROUND

Accumulating evidence suggests that the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) contributes to the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders. However, there was no study concerning the relationship between IL-6 concentrations and clinical features in the chronic phase of early-onset schizophrenia (EOS).

AIM

To investigate the relationship between serum IL-6 concentration and the clinical features of EOS.

METHODS

We measured serum IL-6 Levels from 74 patients with chronic schizophrenia, including 33 with age at onset < 21 years (EOS group) and 41 with onset ≥ 21 years in [adult-onset schizophrenia (AOS) group], and from 41 healthy controls. Symptom severities were evaluated using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS).

RESULTS

Serum IL-6 concentrations were higher in both EOS and AOS groups than healthy controls (F = 22.32, P < 0.01), but did not differ significantly between EOS and AOS groups (P > 0.05) after controlling for age, body mass index, and other covariates. Negative symptom scores were higher in the EOS group than the AOS group (F = 6.199, P = 0.015). Serum IL-6 concentrations in the EOS group were negatively correlated with both total PANSS-negative symptom score (r = -0.389, P = 0.032) and avolition/asociality subscore (r = -0.387, P = 0.026).

CONCLUSION

Patients with EOS may have more severe negative symptoms than those with adult-onset schizophrenia during the chronic phase of the illness. IL-6 signaling may regulate negative symptoms and its avolition/asociality subsymptoms among the early-onset chronic schizophrenic patients.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

Older adults are at high risk of femoral neck fractures (FNFs). Elderly patients face and adapt to significant psychological burdens, resulting in different degrees of psychological stress response. Total hip replacement is the preferred treatment for FNF in elderly patients; however, some patients have poor postoperative prognoses, and the underlying mechanism is unknown. We speculated that the postoperative prognosis of elderly patients with FNF may be related to preoperative psychological stress.

AIM

To explore the relationship between preoperative psychological stress and the short-term prognosis of elderly patients with FNF.

METHODS

In this retrospective analysis, the baseline data, preoperative 90-item Symptom Checklist score, and Harris score within 6 months of surgery of 120 elderly patients with FNF who underwent total hip arthroplasty were collected. We analyzed the indicators of poor short-term postoperative prognosis and the ability of the indicators to predict poor prognosis and compared the correlation between the indicators and the Harris score.

RESULTS

Anxiety, depression, garden classification of FNF, cause of fracture, FNF reduction quality, and length of hospital stay were independent influencing factors for poor short-term postoperative prognoses in elderly patients with FNF (P < 0.05). The areas under the curve for anxiety, depression, and length of hospital stay were 0.742, 0.854, and 0.749, respectively. The sensitivities of anxiety, depression, garden classification of FNF, and prediction of the cause of fracture were 0.857, 0.786, 0.821, and 0.821, respectively. The specificities of depression, FNF quality reduction, and length of hospital stay were the highest at 0.880, 0.783, and 0.761, respectively. Anxiety, depression, and somatization scores correlated moderately with Harris scores (r = -0.523, -0.625, and -0.554; all P < 0.001).

CONCLUSION

Preoperative anxiety, depression, and somatization are correlated with poor short-term prognosis in elderly patients with FNF and warrant consideration.

Authors: Kong Ling-Xia , Zhao Yan-Hong , Feng Zhi-Lin , Liu Ting-Ting
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

Breast cancer is among the most common malignancies worldwide. With progress in treatment methods and levels, the overall survival period has been prolonged, and the demand for quality care has increased.

AIM

To investigate the effect of individualized and continuous care intervention in patients with breast cancer.

METHODS

Two hundred patients with breast cancer who received systemic therapy at The First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University (January 2021 to July 2023) were retrospectively selected as research participants. Among them, 134 received routine care intervention (routing group) and 66 received personalized and continuous care (intervention group). Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) scores, including limb shoulder joint activity, complication rate, and care satisfaction, were compared between both groups after care.

RESULTS

SAS and SDS scores were lower in the intervention group than in the routing group at one and three months after care. The total FACT-B scores and five dimensions in the intervention group were higher than those in the routing group at three months of care. The range of motion of shoulder anteflexion, posterior extension, abduction, internal rotation, and external rotation in the intervention group was higher than that in the routing group one month after care. The incidence of postoperative complications was 18.18% lower in the intervention group than in the routing group (34.33%; P <0.05). Satisfaction with care was 90.91% higher in the intervention group than in the routing group (78.36%; P <0.05).

CONCLUSION

Personalized and continuous care can alleviate negative emotions in patients with breast cancer, quicken rehabilitation of limb function, decrease the incidence of complications, and improve living quality and care satisfaction.
Clinical efficacy of Baijin pills in the treatment of generalized tonic-clonic seizure epilepsy with cognitive impairment
Authors: Li Jing-Bo , Jiang Jing , Xue Lian , Zhao Shuai , Liu Hong-Quan
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

The generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS) is the most usual variety of epileptic seizure. It is mainly characterized by strong body muscle rigidity, loss of consciousness, a disorder of plant neurofunction, and significant damage to cognitive function. The effect of antiepileptic drugs on cognition should also be considered. At present, there is no effective treatment for patients with epilepsy, but traditional Chinese medicine has shown a significant effect on chronic disease with fewer harmful side effects and should, therefore, be considered for the therapy means of epilepsy with cognitive dysfunction.

AIM

To investigate the clinical efficacy of Baijin pills for treating GTCS patients with cognitive impairment.

METHODS

This prospective study enrolled patients diagnosed with GTCS between January 2020 and December 2023 and separate them into two groups (experimental and control) using random number table method. The control group was treated with sodium valproate, and the experimental group was Baijin pills and sodium valproate for three months. The frequency and duration of each seizure, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), and the Quality of Life Rating Scale (QOLIE-31) were recorded before and after treatment.

RESULTS

There were 85 patients included (42 in the control group and 43 in the experimental group). After treatment, the seizure frequency in the experimental group was significantly reduced (P < 0.05), and seizure duration was shortened (P < 0.01). The total MoCA score in the experimental group significantly increased compared to before treatment (P < 0.01), and the sub-item scores, except naming and abstract generalization ability, significantly increased (P < 0.05), whereas the total MoCA score in the control group significantly decreased after treatment (P < 0.05). The QOLIE-31 score of the experimental group increased significantly after treatment compared to before treatment (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSION

Baijin pills have a good clinical effect on epilepsy with cognitive dysfunction.
