ASSESSMENT OF THE PERCEIVED PARENTAL PRESSURE FOR ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND ASSOCIATED PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS AMONG THE STUDENTS OF THE SELECTED HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL, WEST BENGAL
Authors: Naskar Sayani
Published: May 2024

Rising incidents of various psychological problems even self-harm among adolescents is an increasing concern globally for which a descriptive
study was undertaken to assess the perceived parental pressure for academic success and associated psychological problems among the students of
the selected higher secondary school, West Bengal. The adopted conceptual framework was based upon the Stress bucket model (2002) and
represented in the Input-process-output model (1973). From government- aided school, convenience sample of 100 higher secondary students
responded through paper-pencil test. The study ndings by using descriptive and inferential statistics revealed that 17% perceived high parental
pressure and 68% perceived medium parental pressure; 22% students were extremely severe depressed, 35% were having extremely severe
anxious and 11% were having extremely severe stress. Calculated 'r' of perceived parental pressure with three domain wise psychological problems
i.e. depression/anxiety/stress were 0.553/0.495/0.582 respectively (moderate positive associations.) There are signicant associations between
level of perceived parental pressure with father's educational status, mother's occupational status, number of siblings; all the three domain wise
psychological problems were associated with father's occupational status and only anxiety domain with mother's educational status, mother's
occupational status. Recommendations for future studies are large sample size, in different settings, comparative design, at least one intervention
and evaluation.

Published: May 2024

The four different dengue virus strains known as DENV 1-4 can cause dengue fever when they infect a person. Risk of suffering dengue
hemorrhagic fever-dengue shock syndrome increases when there is co-circulation of multiple serotypes. Acute phase sera from suspected cases of
fever were tested for the presence of DENV serotypes. A total of 169 serum samples were tested for the presence of NS1 antigen and positive
samples were subjected to Serotyping. Of these, 41 (24.2%) were positive for NS1 antigen and DENV Serotyping by Conventional PCR showed
36.5% had DENV serotypes. All the serotypes were found Co-circulating with DENV 1 60%, followed by DENV 2 serotype with 20%
respectively. Among 15 virus positive samples, single infection with DENV 1 was found in 9(60%) samples, DENV 2 in 3(20%) samples, doubly
infected with (DENV 3+DENV 4)in 1(6.6%) and (DENV 1 + DENV 4) in 1(6.6%) sample and triple infection with (DENV 1 + DENV 3 + DENV
4) was noticed in 1(6.6%) sample. This study provided more information on the dengue serotype distribution in Vijayawada. Infecting dengue
serotype and Co-circulation of different serotypes play an important role in disease severity among individuals infected with the virus.

Authors: Kusuma Madhavi. , Kadali Vinoda , Vadapalli Kiran
Published: May 2024

Background:About two-thirds of liver abscess cases are due to amoebic etiology in the developing countries, but most abscesses are of pyogenic
etiology in developed nations. In tropical countries like India, LAis a common problem and remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the
treating physician. India is the home to several million people affected by Entamoeba histolytica, the causative organism of amoebic liver abscess
(ALA). Due to the increasing trend of alcoholism, diabetes mellitus, compromised immune status, this problem is of paramount signicance as it
may lead to a moribund state. Due to the advancement in imaging modalities, safer methods to treat liver abscesses are slowly evolving, especially
since the past 20 years. Methods:Sample size: 50 cases(n=50). Selection of patients: patients admitted to Medical Wards of Government General
Hospital, Kakinada with a conrmed diagnosis of LIVER ABSCESS were taken up for the study and followed until discharge from the hospital.
Data collection: Data was collected by a pre-tested questionnaire. Data was collected from all the study population by direct interview after getting
informed written consent from them. Data analysis: Data analysis was performed both manually and by using a computer. Calculated data were
arranged systematically, presented in various tables and gures, and statistical analysis was made to evaluate the objectives of this study using
SPSS software. Results:The present study included 50 patients(n=50) presented to Government General Hospital, Kakinada, who were
diagnosed with liver abscess. Out of the 50 patients, 48 were men, and 2 were women.The youngest patient in this study is 22 years old, and the most
aged 60 years of age. Conclusion:Etiological analysis of pus revealed anchovy sauce appearance in 72% cases and purulent pus in 28% of cases.
Pus culture revealed 72% were sterile and 28% having a bacterial culture. Among the bacterial culture, Escherichia coli had the highest incidence of
12%, followed by Klebsiella and Staphylococcus aureus. Treatment constituted medical therapy and needle aspiration. Empirical treatment
forming amoebicidal and antibiotics were started and modied if deemed necessary after etiological diagnosis. Most of the patients with solitary
liver abscess needed a single ultrasound guided aspiration, whereas multiple liver abscess patients required more than one aspiration. . Good results
were obtained by this method.The average hospital stay was 10.2 days. There was no mortality in this study.

Authors: Mamatha Rokkam , Kumar M.D K. Hanuma
Published: May 2024

Background:organophosphorous poisoning is the major cause of mortality and morbidity in developing countries like india. It is the most
commonly used insecticide in India and easily available. Erythrocyte cholinesterase and butyryl cholinesterase are markers for assessing the
severity of OPpoisoning, but they are costly and not available at all centers. This study was done to assess and nd out the correlation of CPK levels
with severity of OPpoisoning Aims & Objectives :To assess serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) level in OPpoisoning To nd out the correlation
of serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) level With the severity of OPpoisoning Materials And Methods: AHospital-based cross-sectional study
was conducted in the Department of General Medicine, Santhiram medical college, and the general hospital for six months. A total of 100 cases
with OP poisoning admitted to wards &ICU who satisfy the inclusion criteria were taken in to study. Results: Out of 100 patients 63 % were males
and 37 % were females. Majority were in age group 19 -30 years. Methyl parathion was the most commonly used compound. Most of the cases
presented with mild op poisoning. Serial measurement of serum CPK levels showed signicant correlation with the severity of acute OPpoisoning
patients. Conclusion: High initial serum CPK levels is associated with severe degree of poisoning and is associated with complications and
mortality. CPK may be considered as a prognostic marker of OPC intoxication since it enables the early recognition of severity and also helps to
identify those at risk of developing the delayed complications of OPC poisoning
PARAMETERS TO PREDICT FUNCTIONAL MATURATION AND OUTCOMES OF ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA IN END STAGE RENAL DISEASE PATIENTS: A SINGLE CENTRE STUDY
Authors: Jangra Mahesh , Kenwar Deepesh Benjamin , Singh Sarbpreet , Sharma Ashish
Published: May 2024

Background: The 'gold standard' vascular access for haemodialysis is an endogenously created arteriovenous stula (AVF). AVF is the most
preferred mode of vascular access because this mode is mostly devoid of infection, gives a high blood ow rate, and has least chances of clot
formation. The main purpose of this study is to predict the factors affecting AVF maturation and outcomes in patients with end stage renal disease.
Methods: This is a prospective observational study conducted from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018. Out of 150 patients consented for surgery,
5 patients died during the follow up period and 2 patients were lost to follow up. Patients were divided into AVF functional group that included
81.8% (n=117) patients and AVF failure group (18.2%, n=26). All patients were followed at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks and at 12 months. Results:
Male sex had more AVF failure rate than female sex. Patients having associated comorbidities had comparable risk of non-maturation of AVF
(18.0%, p= 0.87). Diabetic nephropathy (50.3%) followed by hypertensive nephrosclerosis (37.8%) were most common causes of ESRD. RCF had
the best patency rate as compared to BCF and BBF (p= 0.28). Vein as well as artery diameter was not found to be a signicant factor for AVF
maturation (p value > 0.05). Most common cause of AVF failure was found to be thrombosis (11.9%) followed by stenosis (3.5%), infection (2.1%),
pseudoaneurysm (0.7%). Conclusion: Neither gender nor vessel, vein as well as artery, diameters affected patency rates of AVF. Smoking had a
predictive relationship with non-maturation of AVF. RCF had the best patency rate as compared to BCF and BBF. There was no signicant
statistical relationship between types of AVF, surgeons experience, site, associated comorbidity and AVF patency rate. Duplex vein mapping
should be done for all the cases of AVF surgery to obtain better patency rates.

Authors: L Nayana , H Chandan Rajesh , Kalagi Prem , Kamkeri N S , Reddy Purushotham
Published: May 2024

Background: Platelet distribution width and mean platelet volume are markers of platelet activation. Platelets are not only involved in hemostasis
and coagulation, but play a signicant role in innate immunity and inammatory response. Excess production of cytokines and acute phase
reactants affect megakaryopoiesis resulting in the release of immature platelets from the bone marrow altering platelet indices. In this study we
aimed to investigate the relationship of platelet indices in RTPCR proven COVID-19 patients and non COVID patients. Methods: An
observational comparative two group cohort clinical study was conducted on 200 COVID-19 patients and 100 normal individuals. The platelet
indices like Platelet count, Mean platelet volume (MPV), Platelet distribution width (PDW), Platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR) and Plateletcrit (PCT)
were compared among two groups. Results: Platelet count in COVID-19 patients were low (p<0.001) compared to controls. P-LCR was also
signicantly decreased in COVID-19 patients in comparison to non-COVID individuals. MPV, PDW and PCT were high in COVID 19 patients in
comparison to controls, but was not signicantly raised in a large number of cases. Conclusion: Platelet indices like platelet count, MPV, PDW, PLCR and PCTare simple, cost effective and easily available laboratory parameters from routinely used automated hematology analyzers which are
signicantly altered in COVID-19 infection and thereby can be used as biomarkers in COVID-19.

A Novel On-board SOH Estimation Method for Lithium-ion Batteries with Hybrid Feature Approach
Authors: Altintas Huseyin Yigit Cem
Published: May 2024

Accurate state-of-health (SOH) estimation is crucial for the reliable
operation of lithium-ion batteries in sustainable energy systems. While
existing methods often require complex feature engineering or focus on
specific voltage ranges, this paper presents a novel and practical
approach using readily available discharge data from Battery Management
Systems (BMS). We introduce a hybrid feature set that combines the
strengths of incremental capacity (IC) curves and temperature generation
factors, capturing critical aspects of battery degradation. By employing
a two-layer feedforward Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and analyzing
the complete discharge cycle, our method was tested two different
dataset, achieves an average root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.38%
across two diverse battery degradation datasets with minimal
computational cost. This approach offers a promising solution for
real-world on-board SOH estimation, enabling efficient battery
management and ensuring the longevity of energy storage systems.
Semi-supervised feature selection using maximum mutual information and minimum correlated feature set retrieved by augmented learning
Authors: Das Arghya Kusum , Goswami Saptarsi , Chakrabarti Amlan , Chakraborty Basabi
Published: May 2024

Feature selection is a critical pre-processing step in machine learning.
For supervised problems, class labels are used to identify important
features. However, the tagging of the data is labor intensive and hence
costly. Consequently, there is an abundance of unlabeled data and
limited labeled data. Hence, semi-supervised learning is very pertinent.
The problem of feature selection is equally relevant for semi-supervised
learning. In this research work, a fresh semi-supervised method of
feature selection is proposed. In the first step, gradient boosting
classifier is used for labeling the unlabeled portion of the data and
augment the training set. Repeated sampling is done from the unlabeled
portion, to generate multiple augmented training sets. Top-k features
are selected based on mutual information from each augmented training
set. While selecting the features, it is ensured that the features are
not redundant using a correlation coefficient. A voting-based approach
is used to combine these multiple feature sets. The proposed method is
compared with a) Supervised Feature Selection on the full dataset
(Benchmark) and b) Supervised Feature Selection on the labeled portion.
On comparing these three methods across 18 datasets, it was found that
semisupervised feature selection outperforms the supervised model based
on F1 scores by 2.78% and 2.63% in two different configurations. Also,
the model outperforms the benchmark by 0.36% and 1.12%.

The Relation between Human Leukocyte Antigen and Multiple Sclerosis
Authors: AL-Khaliq Israa Mohammad Abd
Published: May 2024

HLA genes are associated with more than 100 diseases, including infectious diseases like HIV, and some cancers. Some autoimmune conditions, including diabetes and multiple sclerosis, are also linked to specific variations in the HLA. In MS, the immune system fails to distinguish between the body's tissues and foreign proteins resulting in it attacking myelin as if it were foreign. Several HLA genes have been found to influence the risk of developing MS. Some variants make an individual more likely to develop MS, whereas others may have a protective effect and decrease the risk. Although the precise genes involved in the development of multiple sclerosis are still not fully understood, research has identified one HLA gene that is more prevalent in women with MS and may be part of the explanation why more women than men get the condition.

O diabetes mellitus Tipo 1 (DM1) é uma doença crônico-degenerativa de grande impacto na qualidade de vida de crianças e adolescentes. O DM1 acomete, predominantemente, crianças e adultos jovens com menos de 30 anos de idade, com pico de incidência na adolescência, dos 10 aos 14 anos. Como uma doença crônica, envolve mudança nos hábitos cotidianos, sendo o seguimento de regras um dos principais comportamentos para se alcançar tais mudanças. Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo investigar sobre a diabetes mellitus tipo 1 na adolescência com enfoque na adesão ao tratamento e qualidade de vida. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, através das bases de dados, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO). Para a busca foram utilizados os seguintes Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DECs): Adolescência. Adolescente. Diabetes Mellitus. Qualidade de Vida. Identificaram-se 105 estudos científicos. Após a leitura dos títulos e resumos foram excluídos 95 artigos que não respondiam aos critérios de elegibilidade, 08 artigos foram considerados elegíveis para compor a amostra. Os autores consideram que cumprir as orientações dos profissionais de saúde é parte fundamental da adesão ao tratamento da DM1 pelo adolescente, obedecendo as prescrições, buscando serviços de apoio, tomando adequadamente as medicações, tendo atitudes de autocuidado, hábitos de higiene e comportamentos protetivos são alguns dos comportamentos esperados dos pacientes adolescentes com doenças crônicas, como o diabetes, favorecendo a qualidade de vida. Conclui-se que a adesão ao tratamento, em pacientes adolescentes com diabetes mellitus, pode minimizar as complicações em longo prazo e manter adequados os níveis de açúcar no sangue. Na adolescência, demandas internas e externas, decorrentes das mudanças físicas, sociais e psíquicas, podem levar à diminuição da adesão ao tratamento do diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1).

Hunter-gatherer groups conduct most of their activities in open landscapes as they provide drinking water, food, and raw materials, and offer spaces for social gatherings. The remains left behind at such sites allow for unique archaeological insights into the spatial patterning of prehistoric behaviour. The Stone Age record in southern Africa remains best-known from sheltered sites. A paucity of stratified open-air localities precludes understanding the full spectrum of past hominin activities. Here we introduce an interdisciplinary project in KwaZulu-Natal to study the evolution of human behaviour and landscape dynamics during the Pleistocene in the open-air context of a stratified hillslope with sediments exposed in so-called dongas, a landform created by gully erosion. The project encompasses field and laboratory approaches, combining archaeological, geographical, geological, chronometric, and palaeoenvironmental data. After reviewing relevant open-air research in archaeology and geography, we identify the Jojosi Dongas as a promising research area. Our fieldwork results from 2022-2023 demonstrate the high archaeological, geographical, and geological potential of this landscape. Foot surveys found abundant MSA artefacts spread throughout the dongas, one area with ESA tools, but little to no traces of LSA or later material. Most finds lie on the surface with rarer stratified material occurring in exposed profiles. The surface MSA material is characterised by almost exclusive hornfels use, frequent cortical pieces, many large blanks and cores, and rare retouched tools. These features differ markedly from lithic trends observed in well-known shelter sites, likely the result of differences in site function. Based on the nature of the surface assemblages and the presence of a large outcrop of high-quality hornfels, we hypothesise that the Jojosi Dongas may have been a specialised quarry and workshop area. The stratified MSA occupations are the focus of ongoing excavations and further studies will aim to test our preliminary interpretations provided here.

Published: May 2024

A cobrança da multa criminal era atribuição da Fazenda Pública. Após decisão da ADI 3.150/DF, a pertinência tornou-se prioritária do Ministério Público nas Varas de Execução Penal. Em Minas Gerais, o Ministério Público editou ato compelindo membros a ajuizarem execução, independentemente do valor. Consequentemente, o Estado de Minas Gerais hoje lidera nacionalmente em quantidade de execuções judiciais de multas criminais. O artigo propõe-se a analisar a obrigatoriedade da execução judicial, sob o enfoque da eficiência, refletindo-se o equilíbrioentre custos e benefícios do processo, realizando-se pesquisa quantiqualitativa, com a apreciação dos princípios da análise econômica do Direito e pesquisa com viés empírico-documental, com exame dos processos de execução de multa. Na primeira parte, demonstra-se que o ajuizamento de execução de multa provocará recrudescimento dedemandas de valor esperado negativo. Na segunda parte, verifica-se a necessidade de fixação de valor mínimo para cobrança judicial da multa e a utilização de mecanismos extrajudiciais.

Parte-se da tradicional divisão dogmática das teorias do fim da pena em duas espécies principais: preventivas – analisando-se todas as suas subespécies (prevenção especial negativa e positiva; e prevenção geral negativa e positiva) – e retributivas. Inicialmente, analisam-se as teorias preventivas, preponderantes na doutrina moderna, indicando-se as críticas a cada uma delas e as deficiências a que todas estão submetidas: instrumentalização do indivíduo e perda de proporcionalidade da sanção quando seu fim é exclusivamente preventivo. Na sequência, estudam-se teorias clássicas e modernas da retribuição. Ao final, abordam-se e refutamse as críticas mais comuns às teorias absolutas e conclui-se pela relevância do fim retributivo da pena, seja em modelos puros ou mistos, como forma de se garantir o respeito à dignidade da pessoa humana, a limitação do Direito Penal e a proporcionalidade das penas à tutela de bens jurídicos.
Dinâmica constitucional, ação civil pública e perspectivas do litisconsórcio entre Ministérios Públicos nos tribunais superiores

O artigo analisa a formação de litisconsórcio entre os Ministérios Públicos dos Estados e o Ministério Público Federal em ações civis públicas nos tribunais superiores, a partir do reconhecimento de atuação autônoma dos Ministérios Públicos Estaduais perante o Superior Tribunal de Justiça e o Supremo Tribunal Federal. Buscou-se desenvolver a ideia de uma dinâmica constitucional de proteção de direitos fundamentais, em que os direitos difusos realizam-se na ação civil pública, por meio das medidas de estímulo, controle e reforço constitucional abrigadas na Lei 7.347/85. Constatou-se que o litisconsórcio entre Ministérios Públicos integra um processo constitucional de proteção de direitos. Por fim, conclui-se pela possibilidade de atuação conjunta entre Ministérios Públicos, em ações civis públicas nas instâncias do Superior Tribunal de Justiça e do Supremo Tribunal Federal, estabelecendo-se um reparo crítico ao entendimento sedimentado naquelas Cortes, de imobilização permanentemente do papel do Ministério Público Federal como fiscal da ordem jurídica.

La industria constructora sigue superada por muchas en la disminución de la huella de carbono y otros impactos ambientales. Aunque los constructores buscan mitigar residuos plásticos introduciéndolos a muros, en la construcción se consumen materiales altamente contaminantes. Además, se generan también residuos de construcción y demolición (RCD), que son de los más invasivos y por ello foco de alerta en la Unión Europea y en México, donde ya se cuantifican. La solución para los RCD deberá ser integral por el enorme volumen. Algunas universidades han buscado integrarlos como pétreos de concretos hidráulicos y asfálticos, mientras que otras han promovido el concepto de Durabilidad del Concreto, para evitar las demoliciones. Sin embargo, existe también otra alternativa: rescatar los edificios al hacer una nueva valoración. Aquí se exponen 3 casos de edificios en el país que, teniendo la amenaza de demolición, fueron rescatados o reciclados, y como valor agregado, libraron al planeta...
