Authors: Fejjari Asma , Saheb Ettabaamars Karim , Korbaa Ouajdi
Published: October 2022

Hyperspectral images (HSIs) represent an important source of information in the remote sensing field. Indeed, HSIs, which collect data in many spectral bands, are more simple interpretable and provide a detailed information about interest areas. However, hyperspectral imaging systems generate a huge amount of redundant data and an important level of noise. Dimensionality reduction is an important task that attempts to reduce dimensionality and remove noise so as to enhance the accuracy of remote sensing applications. The first dimensionality reduction approaches date back to 1970s, and various model-based methods have been proposed since these years. This field has known an increasing attention by the suggestion of graph based models that have yielded promising results. While graph based approaches generate considerable outputs, these models require often an important processing time to handle data. In this work, we aim to reduce the computational burden of a promising graph based method called the Modified Schroedinger Eigenmap Projections (MSEP). In this respect, we suggest an efficient superpixel algorithm, called Improved Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (Improved SLIC), to lessen the heavy computational load of the MSEP method. The proposed approach exploits the superpixels as inputs instead of pixels; and then runs the MSEP algorithm. While respecting the HSIs properties, the proposed scheme illustrates that the MSEP method can be performed with computational efficiency.
VoxCeleb1: Speaker Age-Group Classification using Probabilistic Neural Network
Authors: Badr Ameer , Abdul-Hassan Alia
Published: October 2022

The human voice speech includes essentially paralinguistic information used in many applications for voice ‎recognition. Classifying speakers according to their age-group has been considered as a valuable tool in ‎various applications, as issuing different levels of permission for different age-groups. In the presented ‎research, an automatic system to classify speaker age-group without depending on the text is proposed. The ‎Fundamental Frequency (F0), Jitter, Shimmer, and Spectral Sub-Band Centroids (SSCs) are used as a ‎feature, while the Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) is utilized as a classifier for the purpose of ‎classifying the speaker utterances into eight age-groups. Experiments are carried out on VoxCeleb1 dataset ‎to demonstrate the proposed system's performance, which is considered as the first effort of its kind. The ‎suggested system has an overall accuracy of roughly 90.25%, and the findings reveal that it is clearly ‎superior to a variety of base-classifiers in terms of overall accuracy.‎

Published: October 2022

As técnicas de produção de mudas via propagação vegetativa, constituem formas alternativas da reprodução sexuada (uso de sementes), no entanto, diversos fatores prejudicam sua utilização de forma abrangente, como por exemplo baixas taxas de enraizamento de algumas espécies. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o efeito de adubos foliares e condicionadores de substrato nas taxas de enraizamento, crescimento e produção de minestacas clonais de híbridos de Pinus tecunumanii vs. caribaea var. hondurensis. Os experimentos foram desenvolvidos em viveiro florestal na cidade de Paranapanema-SP, com delineamento de blocos ao acaso, em arranjo fatorial 4x2. Foram utilizados quatro adubos foliares: AF1 à base de quitosana, AF3 à base de ácido húmico, AF4 extrato de Ascoplhyllum nodosum, e M2AF (mistura de AF1+AF3+AF4, 33,3% de cada) e dois condicionadores de substratos: C1 à base de pescados marinhos; C2 à base de ácidos húmicos.  As minestacas foram avaliadas nas fases de casa de vegetação (taxa de enraizamento) e casa de sombra (altura total, massa seca e verde da parte aérea e radicular). O adubo foliar AF4 proporcionou maiores taxas de enraizamento das mudas, juntamente com o adubo AF3 combinado com o condicionador de substrato C2 e o adubo AF1 combinado como condicionador de substrato C2. Em geral, o adubo foliar AF4 promoveu maiores taxas de produção de biomassa vegetal.

Key Points

Belatacept-based maintenance immunosuppression prevents antibody-mediated rejection and enables long-term kidney allograft survival in sensitized nonhuman primate recipients.

Post-transplant belatacept prevents the rebound of follicular helper T cells, class-switched B cells, and antibody-secreting cells.

Additional belatacept with tacrolimus increases the risk of viral reactivation and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease.

Preexisting donor-specific antibodies (DSA) to MHC antigens increase the risk of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) in sensitized transplant recipients and reduces graft survival. Pretransplant desensitization with costimulation blockade and proteasome inhibition has facilitated transplantation in our preclinical nonhuman primate (NHP) model. However, long-term graft survival is limited by rebound of DSA after transplantation. In this study, we performed kidney transplants between highly sensitized, maximally MHC-mismatched NHPs (n=14). At kidney transplantation, primates received T cell depletion with rhesus-specific anti-thymocyte globulin (rhATG; n=10) or monoclonal anti-CD4 and anti-CD8 antibodies (n=4). Maintenance immunosuppression consisted of belatacept and tacrolimus (n=5) or belatacept and rapamycin (n=9) with steroids. Rebound of DSA post–kidney transplantation was significantly reduced compared with maintenance immunosuppression with tacrolimus, mycophenolate, and steroids. Protocol lymph node biopsy specimens showed a decrease in germinal center activity, with low frequencies of T follicular helper cells and class-switched B cells after kidney transplantation. Combined belatacept and rapamycin was superior in controlling viral reactivation, enabling weaning of ganciclovir prophylaxis. Tacrolimus was associated with increased morbidity that included cytomegalovirus and parvovirus viremia and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. All primates in the tacrolimus/belatacept group failed discontinuation of antiviral therapy. Overall, belatacept-based immunosuppression increased AMR-free graft survival by controlling post-transplant humoral responses in highly sensitized NHP recipients and should be further investigated in a human clinical trial.

Цель. Описание опыта орбитальных осложнений острого риносинусита в педиатрической популяции и выявление факторов риска, связанных с тяжестью заболевания.Материалы и методы. В данном ретроспективном исследовании оценивались клинические показатели 78 детей, госпитализированных по поводу орбитальных осложнений в период с 2005 по 2020 г. Для изучения демографических данных и клинических симптомов использовалась описательная статистика.Результаты. Несмотря на антибактериальную терапию на догоспитальном этапе среди пациентов наблюдались постсептальные орбитальные осложнения. Была обнаружена статистически значимая связь между возрастом пациентов при поступлении и тяжестью заболевания. Дети старше семи лет имели более тяжелые орбитальные осложнения и чаще нуждались в хирургическом вмешательстве (p<0,001).Выводы. В данном исследовании орбитальные осложнения II и III стадии при поступлении и старший возраст были наиболее важными факторами, определяющими неэффективность медикаментозного лечения. Дети старше семи лет с острым риносинуситом должны быть направлены к оториноларингологу для эффективного лечения и предупреждения орбитальных осложнений.

Purpose. To describe the experience of orbital complications of ARS in the paediatric population and to identify risk factors associated with disease severity.Materials and methods. This retrospective analysis evaluated the clinical outcomes of 78 children hospitalised for orbital complications between 2005 and 2020. Descriptive statistics were used to examine demographic data and clinical symptoms.Results. Although all children were treated with antibiotics prior to hospitalisation, more than half of this cohort experienced post-septal orbital complications. A significant association was found between age at admission and severity of illness. Children over seven years of age had more severe orbital complications and were more likely to require surgical intervnetion (p<0.001).Conclusions. In this study, stage II and III orbital complications at admission and older age were the most important determinants of failure of medical treatment. Early referral to an otolaryngologist should be considered for children older than seven years with ARS in order to assure an effective treatment and avoid orbital complications.

Published: October 2022

This study analyzed the impact of nearby redevelopment project characteristics on the apartment and single/multi-family house prices in all areas of Seoul. The impact of the distance to the redevelopment project area, the number of supply households, and the number of project areas were analyzed using the housing sale transaction price from 2006 to 2020, and all housing types show the same direction. Findings reveal that the closer the supply of households, the higher the transaction price. Moreover the number of project areas has a positive effect after a certain distance. This indicates a positive effect on factors such as price synchronization when new houses are supplied from nearby project areas, expectations as project candidates, and shares in the benefits of improving the residential environment. Redevelopment projects are likely to be used as large-scale housing supply assurance measures in the future. When designing an area, one must consider planning and progress by region so that the size, number of union members, and maintenance infrastructure ratio do not significantly impact the housing market. This study obtained general results for all regions in Seoul, yielding important policy implications and providing useful basic data to investors, public policymakers, and practitioners.

One form of implementation of the mandate of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 1 of 2011 concerning Housing and Settlement Areas is explicitly stated in the Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia No. 2 of 2015 concerning the National Medium Term Development Plan for 2015-2019 and implemented in the form of Kep. Director of DJCK No. 110/KPTS/DC/2016 concerning Determination of City Locations Without Slums. The decision of the Directorate General of Human Settlements became the basis for determining the location of the area that was determined to receive a program to improve the quality of slums, one of which was the NUSP-2 program. NUSP-2 as one of the slum settlement programs needs to be evaluated as a form of assessing the results of the programs that have been implemented. The evaluation carried out focused on the impact side with the scope of Physical and Non-Physical (Social and Economic) impacts and sustainability with the scope of economic, social/community and environmental sustainability, where the impact evaluation resulted in a value of 0.692 or was in the moderately impactful class, while the sustainability evaluation was at a value of 0.692. 0.43 or is in the less sustainable class. However, what is of concern is that based on the results of the analysis carried out, the side that has a large influence on the evaluation value is the side that is in direct contact with the NUSP-2 program, with examples for evaluation of physical impacts having a greater influence than non-physical and social sustainability having the greatest influence compared to sustainability environment and economy.

Published: October 2022

The problem of constructing characteristics of the difference between test sequences is investigated. Its relevance for generating controlled random tests and the complexity of finding difference measures for symbolic tests are substantiated. The limitations of using the Hamming and Damerau–Levenshtein distances to obtain a measure of the difference between test patterns are shown. For an arbitrary case, a new measure of the difference between two symbolic test sets is determined based on the interval used in the theory of the chain of successive events. The distance D(Ti, Tk) between test patterns Ti and Tk, using the interval characteristic, is based on determining independent pairs of identical (equal) symbols belonging to two patterns and calculating the intervals between them. The combinatorial nature of the calculation, the proposed difference measure for symbolic test patterns of an arbitrary alphabet and dimension, is shown. An example of calculating this measure is given and its possible modifications and limitations are shown. The application of the measure of difference is considered for the case of multi-run testing of memory devices based on address sequences pA with even p repetition of addresses. For the case p = 2, mathematical relations are given for calculating intervals and distances D(Ti, Tk) for address sequences 2A used for controlled random testing of memory devices. Experimental results are presented confirming the effectiveness of the proposed difference measure.

Hızlı kentleşme başta olmak üzere yaşanan sosyoekonomik ve politik olgular sonucu kentsel alanlarda tecrübe edilen doğal afetler, iklim koşullarındaki düzensizlikler, salgın hastalıklar, terör olayları, finansal sıkıntılar gibi risk ve tehditlere karşı gerekli tedbirlerin benimsenmesi ve uyum sağlanması bir tercih olmaktan ziyade zorunluluk haline gelmiştir. Bu durum akademik çalışmalar ve uluslararası düzenlemelerde sürdürülebilir kentleşmeden farklı olarak yeni bir kentsel yönetim yaklaşımı olarak kentsel dirençlilik teorisinin (Urban Resiliency Theory) öne çıkmasına sebep olmuştur. Ancak akademik ve politik alanda kentsel sürdürülebilirlik ile dirençlilik teorisi yaklaşımları arasındaki benzerlikler ya da farklılıkların doğru bir şekilde idrak edilmiyor olması teorik ve pratikte her iki yaklaşımdan beklenen itici ve yönlendirici gücün azalmasına sebep olmaktadır. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı çeşitlilik ve belirsizlik ihtiva eden sürdürülebilir kentsel politikaların mevcut ve gelecekteki risk ve tehditlere karşı yetkinlik kapasitesini “kentsel dirençlilik” yaklaşımı çerçevesinde değerlendirmektir. Çalışmada kentsel sürdürülebilirlik politika ve uygulamaları ile dirençlilik kapsamında kabul edilen politika ve uygulamalarının niçin ve nasıl bütünleştirilebileceği tartışılmaktadır. Bu açıdan çalışmada kent yönetimde başvurulan iki temel yaklaşımdan kentsel sürdürülebilirlik (KS) ve Kentsel dirençlilik (KD) yaklaşımları kuramsal ve politik çıktıları bakımından tahlil edilerek her iki yaklaşımın birbirleri üzerindeki politik ve yönetsel iz düşümleri incelenmektedir.

Published: October 2022

Introduction. The changes that are taking place in Ukraine due to the influence of both global and regional factors lead to the fact that airports needs to review the concepts of managing the company’s activities and look for new strategies for functioning on the market. This article examines the main causes of flight delays that affect the operation of airport services and thus cause uncertainty. The activity of domestic airports is analyzed. The problem of operational planning and management of ground handling of aircraft at the airport is considered. Criteria for the effectiveness of ground handling of aircraft at the airport have been determined. Problems statement. Aviation transport in Ukraine is one of the main transport elements of the transport and logistics system of the country and the world. But it is also the most expensive mode of transport, which greatly affects the price of transportation. Transportation costs exceed 50%, and their reduction is the main goal of the transportation process. Therefore, for this, it is necessary to optimize the distribution of material and technical resources during the ground handling of aircraft at the airport. That is, regardless of flight delays, readiness to service the aircraft must be ensured by all airport services regardless of deviations from the daily flight schedule. Purpose. Analysis of the feasibility of optimizing material and technical resources during ground maintenance of aircraft, in order to increase the efficiency of the airport. The object of the study is the largest international airport «Boryspil», which, according to information from analysts, will have an even greater load after the war.

Background: Mobile phones of HCWs play an important role in transmission of infection to patients and
also to the health care workers, which can increase the burden of heath care. We planned this study to
identify the microbiological prole of signicant pathogenic bacteria present on mobile phones of healthcare workers that
cause nosocomial infection and also to assess the usefulness of 70% isopropyl alcohol for decontamination of mobile phones .
Methods: 50 Heathcare workers were include in this study. 50samples were collected before decontamination and 50 samples
were collected after decontaminated with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Totally 100 samples collected. samples were inoculated in the
brain heart infusion broth and incubated at 370C for 24- 48 hours. Samples showing growth were further sub cultured on Blood
agar and MacConkey agar. The plates were then be incubated at 37˚C for 24 hours and observed for the growth. Different
biochemical tests were used for further identication. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was done according to the Clinical
Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Results: Among the 50healthcare
workers,38 healthcare workers mobile phones were contaminated before decontamination.After decontamination,12

Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is extremely rare. The incidence of SBA is very low as compared to
large bowel adenocarcinoma and it is diagnosed in advanced stages because of lack of specic signs
and symptoms in its presentation. Small bowel adenocarcinoma can also run in families, even if there is no conclusive literature
as is available for large bowel adenocarcinoma. We encountered a rare case of adenocarcinoma of jejunum in a 34years male
which was diagnosed by CECT abdomen. His father also had adenocarcinoma of jejunum 16 years back. A high index of
suspicion is required to make the diagnosis of small bowel adenocarcinoma in suspected cases
DESTRUCTIVE DESIGN OF THE PSYCHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL PORTRAIT AND THE IMMORALITY OF THE ACTIONS OF THE RUSSIAN MILITARY ON THE TERRITORY OF UKRAINE
Authors: Kuryliak Valentyna , Bulatov Valeriy
Published: October 2022

The article reects aspects of the destructive design of the psycho-physiological portrait of the soldiersoccupiers who committed acts of violence and rape of women and children in the occupied territories of Ukraine. We believe that this problem is relevant and requires comprehensive coverage and research by modern philosophers, historians and sociologists. It is shown that during the war, the military has two kinds of feelings. The rst are the highest patriotic feelings and human qualities that help to endure the hardships of wartime. The second feelings are the lowest, immoral, inhuman qualities of a person. The article attempts to understand why this happens. Pushing Russian soldiers during the ghting to go beyond morality and commit crimes against civilians. The purpose of this article is to analyze the destructive processes that destroy the humanity and morality of a person, and in the course of hostilities lead to a state of complete devaluation of the life of the civilian population in the occupied territories. The attention is focused on the rape of women and children by the Russian military in the occupied territories of Ukraine. The immorality of the behavior of the Russian military in relation to the civilian population and a number of destructive processes that affect the worldview of the soldier-occupier of the Russian Federation is shown. The testimonies of women who survived the horrors of violence and revelry of Putin's soldiers and managed to escape are given. The conclusions drawn made it possible to highlight aspects of the destructive design of the psycho-physiological portrait of the occupying soldiers who committed acts of rape of women and children, and it was proved that the army, which does not have moral standards, commits crimes against the civilian population, because it understands that it can avoid this punishment. Scientic novelty consists in determining the aspects of destructive processes that affect the worldview of the occupying warrior from the Russian Federation.

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare benign condition arising
from the synovial membrane of the joints, synovial sheaths or
bursae around the joints(1,2). Primar y synovial
chondromatosis usually affects the large joints. More
commonly affected population is in males as compared to
females. Age of presentation is generally in the third to fth
decade, rarely involvement of smaller joints and presentation
in younger age group is also seen(3–5)
QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF LARVAL BODY GROWTH IN THE SILKWORM, BOMBYX MORI (LEPIDOPTERA: BOMBYCIDAE)
Authors: Prasad S. Siva
Published: October 2022

Quantity-wise and rate-wise growth changes in the larval body mass vis-à-vis log-based growth curves
were analyzed in Bombyx mori. The body mass accumulation followed a progressively increasing trend
from third to fth instar, registering higher values in growth index (GI) and mean growth rate (MGR). But, the corresponding
compound periodical growth rates and mean specic growth rates declined remarkably during the same period. The growth
increments in body mass are in consonance with Hutchinson's investment policy and accordingly the silkworm accumulates
energy reserves and structures that are necessary for future use during metamorphosis. Higher growth ratios recorded in the
present study indicate that the silkworm systematically violates the Dyar's constant rule throughout the growth regime. The logbased growth curves were further analyzed to determine the critical and threshold body sizes that trigger moulting and
metamorphosis in the silkworm.

Mycotic Aneurysm due to Salmonella typhi
Authors: Sarıca Utku Can , Osman Memikoglu Kemal
Published: October 2022

Mycotic aneurysms, one of the most important complications of bacteremic Salmonella infection, are endovascular infections with a frequency of 25-35% in patients older than 50 years. Bacterial agents such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Treponema pallidum, Salmonella species, Staphylococcus species, and Streptococcus pneumonia can be counted among the infectious causes. We report a 74-year-old immunocompetent male patient who had a mycotic aneurysm of the iliac artery due to Salmonella typhi. Mycotic aneurysm caused by S. typhi is rare in the literature; it should be kept in mind that S. typhi can be a cause of infection in vascular tissue.

Clinical Characteristics of Pneumococcal Infections and Predictors of Invasive Pneumococcal Disease
Authors: Sen Pınar , Demirdal Tuna , Nemli Salih Atakan
Published: October 2022

Objectives: Streptococcus pneumoniae infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality, especially among high-risk groups. Our country has limited data on the clinical findings of pneumococcal infections and invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). Therefore, we aimed to evaluate patients’ demographic and clinical findings with pneumococcal infection.

Methods: The data of the patients who were admitted to our hospital between January 2012 and December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Isolation of Streptococcus pneumoniae from sterile body sites was defined as invasive pneumococcal disease. Demographic data, clinical findings, laboratory values, and death rates of patients with the pneumococcal disease were analyzed statistically.

Results: One hundred and fifty-four patients were included in the study. Of these patients, 106 (68.8%) were male, and the mean age was 65.3±15.6 (20-94). The diagnosis of the patients were pneumonia (79.2%), sepsis (10.4%), wound infection (3.2%), peritonitis (1.9%), epididymoorchitis (3.2%), pyelonephritis (3.2%), meningitis (1.3%), brain abscess (0.6%), arthritis (0.6%), endocarditis (0.6%) and pericarditis (0.6%). The mean follow-up period was 27.8±22.3 months. The overall mortality rate was 32.5% in all patients. Invasive pneumococcal disease was detected in 31 (20.1%) of all patients. C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (>14.4 mg/dL), penicillin and ciprofloxacin sensitivity rates were significant parameters in invasive pneumococcal disease patients (p=0.039, p=0.028 and p=0.045). Pneumococcal strains obtained from patients with IPD were more susceptible to penicillin and ciprofloxacin than non-invasive pneumococcal strains (96.4% and 78.8%, p=0.028; 100%, and 42.9%, p=0.045).

Conclusion: Knowledge of risk factors associated with pneumococcal infections in our country is crucial in supporting national immunization programs. CRP elevation, penicillin sensitivity, and fluoroquinolone sensitivity rates were significantly higher in patients with IPD. According to the results of our study, immunocompromised patients and patients with comorbidities have a higher risk for the development of invasive disease.
