Advanced Technology of Drilling and Hydraulic Loosening in Coal Bed Methane Using a Cavitation Hydrovibrator – Experience and Prospects
Authors: Zhulay Yuriy , Nikolayev Olexiy
Published: July 2022

Modern progressive technologies use static fluid injection into seams for safe and cost-effective operation of coal seams. However, the deterioration of mining and geological conditions leads to a significant decrease in the efficiency of the process of methane sequestration from coal seams in case of increase in the depth of development of gas-bearing coal seams. This deterioration is due to a change in the stress-strain state of deep rock massifs, their low permeability, strong anisotropy of soft coal, leading to an increase in dynamic manifestations of rock pressure in the form of sudden outbursts of coal and gas, and rock destructions with catastrophic consequences. An advanced technology for hydraulic loosening and recovery of methane from gas-bearing coal seams, based on the creation of hydrodynamic impulses in a well surface and their transformation into mechanical vibration loading to coal seam, was developed. Such impact to the coal mass leads to the development of a system of cracks. As a result, the efficiency of coalbed hydraulic loosening increases, the zones of moistening and unloading of the formation increase, the gas emission of methane is intensified, the level of dust formation and the resistance of coal to cutting during its destruction are reduced.

In the United States, ~100,000 patients are hospitalized annually for cardiogenic shock with 27–51% mortality. Similarly, ~356,000 patients develop out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) annually with 90% mortality. In the last few decades, several acute mechanical circulatory support (AMCS) devices have been developed to provide hemodynamic support and to improve outcomes in patients with cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest. Among all the devices, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is the only AMCS device that provides immediate and complete cardiopulmonary support. With an increase in clinical experience with VA-ECMO, use of VA-ECMO has expanded beyond post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock. In the last two decades, there has also been a rapid growth in the observational and randomized data describing the clinical and logistical considerations with successful clinical outcomes in patients with cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest. In this review, we discuss the fundamental concepts and hemodynamic aspects of VA-ECMO, its indications, contraindications, and the complications that are encountered in the setting of VA-ECMO in patients with cardiac arrest and cardiogenic shock of various etiologies.
Protecting Bioelectric Signals from Electromagnetic Interference in a Wireless World
Authors: Marcarian David
Published: July 2022

The exponential growth of wired and wireless technologies which generate Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) has made obtaining microvolt-level bioelectric signals challenging. While digital filtering algorithms provide a wealth of information and allow Artificial Intelligence (AI) to interpret the data, the process may denigrate the integrity of the original signal. Busy clinicians and researchers have relied on computer-analyzed ECG, losing their ability to discriminate between data of high quality and data contaminated with EMI (noise). Resolving an EMI issue with a microphone is one way to learn the methodology. A step-by-step process of troubleshooting EMI in an audio application provides a framework for understanding the fundamental variables that generate EMI and a better understanding of analog electronics. The troubleshooting methodology applies to resolving EMI issues with all biologic signals including Surface Electromyography (SEMG), EEG, ECG, and Needle EMG. As we enter the age of extended range WIFI and cellular technologies, understanding analog electronics is crucial in ensuring we obtain clean data for more clinically meaningful results.

Authors: Lei Liu  , Wu Hongwei
Published: July 2022

In the enterprise financial information management, the information security of reimbursement and annual bad debt accumulation cannot be ignored. In order to solve the problem that the plaintext exceeds the byte limit in information encryption and affects the encryption calculation time, an annual bad debt accumulation information and reimbursement encryption method is proposed based on ant colony algorithm. We first define all the variables including encryption method, organizations’ information and reimbursement encryption, Ant colony algorithm and then we utilized elliptic curve digital signature to process the data and to prevent the annual bad debt accumulation information data from being tampered with or replaced in the transmission process. Furthermore, one dimensional Logistic chaotic map and Tent chaotic map with good randomness are selected to generate chaotic sequences as keys, and they are grouped based on ant colony algorithm. Each group is XOR with the previous group of ciphertext, which shortens the plaintext bytes. The design of the encryption method for the accumulated information of annual bad debt accrual is completed through the operation and the second round of encryption. The plaintext data files with file sizes of 10MB, 50MB, 100MB and 200MB are selected for serial and parallel encryption calculation. It shows that the average speedup ratio of this method is 3.90, which is 0.44 and 0.46 higher than the encryption methods based on genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization algorithm, so it has better encryption performance.

Ontological determinant of the phenomenon of creativity in the conceptual space of non-classical philosophy
Authors: Kachay Ilya Sergeevich
Published: July 2022

The subject of the study is the ontological nature of the phenomenon of creativity in the context of conceptual constructions of the most important nominal layers of non-classical philosophy. The aim of the work is to reveal the ontological essence of creativity in the context of European philosophy of the XIX–XX centuries based on the works of A. Schopenhauer, A. Bergson, J.-P. Sartre, A. Camus and M. Heidegger. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is the works of representatives of the non-classical period of the development of philosophical thought, as well as the works of modern domestic and foreign researchers, in their works directly or indirectly touching on the problem of the ontological determinant of creativity. The central research methods are comparative and complex methods for establishing connections and relationships between phenomena that are part of the sphere of creative being, as well as an analytical and interpretive method for analyzing existing interpretations of the phenomenon under study and presenting the author's position. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the identification and systematization of philosophical ideas regarding the ontological determinant of creativity in the conceptual field of Western European non–classical philosophy of the XIX-XX centuries. As a result of the conducted research, the author comes to the conclusion that within the framework of non-classical philosophy, the ontological nature of creativity is revealed both at the level of objective reality (generation and change of existing being) and in the existential-personal space of the subject (self-creation and self-transcending through the implementation of irrational-volitional intentions and life-meaning orientations). Unlike the classical tradition of philosophizing, which absolutizes the epistemological component of the subject's creativity, in the subject field of non-classical philosophy, creativity regains its ontological rootedness, since it acts as the general existential of human existence, revealing itself through the prism of such concepts as the Will to live, pure duration, creative evolution, Vital impulse, imaginative consciousness, rebellion against the absurd, the promotion of truth and the way out of inauthenticity.

The gut microbiota has key physiological functions in host adaptation, although little is known about the seasonal changes in the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota in deer. In this study, seasonal variations (grassy and withering season) in the gut microbiota of white-lipped deer (Cervus albirostris), which lives in alpine environments, were explored through 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing based on sixteen fecal samples collected from Gansu Qilian Mountain National Nature Reserve in China. At the phylum level, Firmicutes, Bacteroidota, and Actinobacteriota dominated the grassy season, while Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteriota dominated the withering season. At the genus level, Carnobacterium dominated the grassy season, while Arthrobacter and Acinetobacter dominated the withering season. Alpha diversity results (Shannon: P = 0.01, ACE: P = 0.00, Chao1: P = 0.00) indicated that there was a difference in the diversity and richness of the gut microbiota between the two seasons, with higher diversity in the grassy season than in the withering season. Beta diversity results further indicated that there was a significant difference in the community structure between the two seasons (P = 0.001). In summary, the composition, diversity, and community structure of the gut microbiota showed significant seasonal variations, which could be explained by variations in the seasonal food availability, composition, diversity, and nutrition due to phenological alternations. The results of this study indicate that the gut microbiota can adapt to changes in the environment and provide the scientific basis for health assessment of white-lipped deer.
Utility of Intracranial Haemorrhage Score in Non Traumatic Intracranial HaemorrhageA Longitudinal Study
Authors: Hamza Ashique , Kumar KG Sajeeth , Ekkalayil Danish
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Intracranial Haemorrhage (ICH) is any bleeding that occurs inside the intracranial vault, which includes the brain parenchyma and the surrounding meningeal spaces. It is a devastating illness associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The ICH score was developed in 2001 as a predictive tool for mortality. It is a six point score based on five components i.e, age, ICH volume, Intraventricular Haemorrhage (IVH), site of bleed and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). Aim: To study the utility of ICH score for predicting 30 day mortality and morbidity and also to determine if ICH calculated 24 hours after admission is a better indicator of mortality. Materials and Methods: This was a longitudinal observational study conducted among 235 patients, with spontaneous ICH, who were admitted in the Department of General Medicine, Government Medical College, Kozhikode, Kerala, India, from January 2019 to December 2019. Data collected included risk factors, clinical features and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and Computed Tomography (CT) findings. The ICH score was calculated at the time of presentation and after 24 hours. Functional status of the patients were assessed using modified Rankin Scale (mRS) on day 30 of the illness. Chi-square test was used to analyse categorical variables. Odds ratio was calculated. Relation between ICH score and mRS on day 30 was analysed using logistic regression. A p-value <0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: The mean age of the study population was 61.52±12.67 years. Overall, 136 patients were males (57.9%). Prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and alcohol abuse were 85.5%, 34%, 31.9% and 17%, respectively. There were 60 deaths (25.5%). All components of ICH score i.e, age (OR=5.39), GCS (OR=488.65), ICH volume (OR=5.519), IVH (OR=29.08), and site of ICH (OR=18.32) as well as newer parameters, like, the presence of hydrocephalus (OR=18.32), midline shift (OR=7.49) and anisocoria (OR=12.25) were significant predictors of mortality (p-value <0.05). Hemiplegia (177, 75.3%) was the most common, and seizure (24, 10.2%) was the least common presentation. Mortality rate was higher in those with higher ICH scores (100% for scores 4 and 5, and 79.3% for score 3). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve with ICH score of 3 as cut-off predicted outcome with an accuracy of 94.9% (90% sensitivity and 96.6% specificity). Conclusion: Intracranial haemorrhage score is a practical tool in predicting patient outcome in patients with ICH. The ICH score calculated after 24 hours was observed not to be superior to that calculated at the time of admission.

Published: July 2022

In the modern times, insecticides have grown to be an essential part of the atmosphere. Their full-size use in public health packages and agriculture has ended in capability environmental pollution and health risks, which relies upon their residual quantity and toxicity. The widespread uses cause general population to low dose of continual exposure of insecticides through meals and environment. The residue evaluation of human specimen suggests an increasing trend within the ranges of insecticides in serum, adipose tissue, breast milk, urine and others. Implications of pesticides residues on human fitness following subchronic publicity are but to be comprehensively answered. Subjection to insecticides can be closely associated with neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, immunotoxicity, genotoxicity and injurious reproductive effects. Pesticides leads to Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generation in significant quantities, resulting in oxidative stress and cellular damages. Findings of research have discovered a concomitant genotoxic and apoptotic effect of the pesticides in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs). Since genotoxic consequences of pesticides on humans cannot be overlooked, therefore identification and implication of protective measures are urgently needed. This have been tested that PBMCs go through dose-structured apoptotic cell demise following pesticide exposure and additionally highlights the effectiveness of various antioxidants in counteracting pesticide-precipitated cytotoxicity. Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) have emerged as an antiapoptotic molecules which counteract cytotoxicity. The inducible expression analysis of HSPs ought to make contributions to the human PBMCs to get over the toxic results of subchronic pesticide exposure. Though the linkage between cellular events of apoptosis is thought, the molecular mechanism highlighting the precise function of HSP in pesticidemediated cytotoxicity yet stays to be comprehensively replied. To better understand this mechanism, different antioxidant and HSP inducers have been employed, and also highlighted their attenuating effects towards the apoptotic capacity of such pesticides. This review article therefore, focuses on the fact that antioxidants and HSP inducers efficiently protect cells, emphasizing their role in pesticide-induced toxicity at molecular and cellular level as well as their possible use as therapeutic intervention.
EXPERIÊNCIA ESTÉTICA EM NARRATIVAS LITERÁRIAS E AUDIOVISUAIS
Authors: Santos Larissa Brito dos
Published: July 2022

O presente trabalho consiste na análise das semelhanças e dissemelhanças entre a linguagem literária e a audiovisual, a partir da hipótese de que é possível utilizar as narrativas audiovisuais como caminho intercambiável à literatura para uma experiência estética que resulte na emancipação do leitor/espectador. Para isso, nos guiamos pela Teoria do Efeito Estético e a Antropologia Literária, ambas formuladas por Wolfgang Iser. Justifica-se a emancipação proporcionada pelo cinema, pois a forma como a experiência estética se constrói é similar aos procedimentos utilizados nos textos literários e a própria teoria cinematográfica fundamentou-se nas teorias da literatura para se estabelecer, considerando as idiossincrasias de cada suporte. As similaridades entre as duas linguagens são evidenciadas ao explicitarmos os procedimentos internos realizados pelo indivíduo no processo de atribuição de sentido, extrapolando a literatura e assumindo o território da própria existência, portanto, capaz de ser observado também em outras formas de arte, dentre elas, o cinema.
O STREAMING COMO POTENCIALIZADOR DOS CORPOS ESTRANHOS: SAMIRA CLOSE E O PROCESSO DE CONSTRUÇÃO IDENTITÁRIA PELA GAMEPLAY
Authors: Silva Juan Dos Santos , Flor Júnior Edmilson Dos Santos , Casado Alves Maria da Penha
Published: July 2022

Este artigo investiga a construção do corpo grotesco de Samira Close no gênero discursivo gameplay, ponderando sobre o impacto de sua performance e como o processo do streamming é responsável pela veiculação de narrativas como o da streamer. Para tanto, ancoramos essa discussão nas concepções advindas de Bakhtin no que concerne à concepção de corpo e realismo grotescos (2010), gênero discursivo (2016) e forças verbo-ideológicas (2015). Ao se propor a gravar gameplays montada como uma drag queen, Samira Close vai contra a corrente do mundo gamer, sendo este um ambiente formado sobretudo por homens héteros no qual, consequentemente, reverberam muitos discursos machistas e homofóbicos. Assim, interessa-nos problematizar como se constrói a imagem da drag ao interagir com outros sujeitos que a consideram estranha e como o riso proveniente dessas práticas refratam a realidade do espaço social no qual esse circuito discursivo se concretiza. Para fundamentar a análise, juntam-se ao arcabouço teórico Louro (2016) para tratar sobre as questões de corpo e Jenkins (2009) para dar conta da cultura da convergência. Em termos metodológicos, a pesquisa faz uso das gameplays da streamer a partir de um olhar teórico da ADD (Análise Dialógica do Discurso) pautada na verbivocovisualidade (PAULA; LUCIANO, 2020). Ao final da pesquisa, evidenciou-se que a gameplay da drag materializa, em muitos momentos, um ambiente de embate ideológico e que o movimento do streamming potencializa o aparecimento de identidades tidas como grotescas, assim como Samira, e ganhem mais visibilidade na mídia.

M-Theory and F-Theory over Theoretical Analysis on Cosmic Strings and Calabi-Yau Manifolds Subject to Conifold Singularity with Randall-Sundrum Model
Authors: Bhattacharjee Deep
Published: July 2022

String theory always comes with heavy mathematical rigor as it questions the most significant and impossible attempt to make a scale-invariant phenomenology between general relativity and quantum theory. Thus, steps have been taken to simplify the theory a bit thereby making it accessible to general yet enthusiastic readers of physics. However, as there is numerous mathematics involved in the modeling of this theory, thus, any chance to make a purely non-mathematical approach towards strings would prove vacuous and intimidating making the pathway of this marvelous theory chocked with unnecessary assumptions resulting in false analogies (or hopes) relating to this theory. Thus, where it’s almost impossible to proceed without any equations, we have given a few just to wipe out some logical confusion arising to the first readers of strings. Few necessary diagrams are included along with intense theory and least mathematics for making this significant approach of theoretical physicists accessible to general learners or readers.

Topics: Bosonic string theory, supersymmetric string theory, M – theory, F – theory, dualities and interconnectedness, viability, Randall – Sundrum model for tackling the hierarchy problem of particle physics, conifold singularities, Branes, Bulks, Extremal black holes, Ekpyrotic cosmology, topological aspects of Calabi – Yau (CY) manifolds, A and B models, Mirror Symmetries; AdS/CFT, cosmic strings, all in a way accessible to every reader.

Methods: Theoretical analogies, deductions, principles behind the origin, development along with the probable conclusion of this theory, the roots of its origin, the necessary difficulty for detecting those strings, and approaches done by theorists to work out the pathway of achieving Einstein’s dream of unification irrespective of several hindrances.

Results: String theory itself is not a complete theory. Rather it’s in the process of further development through the increment of time resulting in more applications of mathematics by developing or incorporating them in due needs. Thus, without stating any concrete results, the theory has been tackled in this paper with a viable hypothesis based on the current understanding, and previous attempts are stated to have been made for its success.

At experimental farm of M. S. Swaminathan School of Agriculture, Centurion University of Technology and Management, Paralakhemundi, Odisha, India, an experiment was conducted to know the effect of nitrogen doses and mulching on nutrient status, yield and economics of maize during the rabi season of 2021-22. The hybrid maize seed (Hybrid variety 4226) was sown in a spilt plot design with three levels of mulching in main plot and four doses of nitrogen in sub-plot. The grain yield, nutrient composition of maize seeds and stover, N, P, K status of pre-harvest soil were increased significantly in combination of nitrogen and mulching. Application of straw mulch significantly increased the N content of grain and stover as well as the N uptake by grain and stover as compared to no mulch treatment. It also influenced the protein content of seeds. Application of higher dose of N significantly increased the N content of grain and stover as well as the N uptake by grain and stover over the control and also influenced the NPK status of soil and protein content of the seeds. Maximum values of grain and stover yield (7.26 and 9.21t ha-1 respectively) were recorded from 5 t ha-1mulchand 150% RDN (N:P2O5:K2O = 120:60:60) plot. Whereas this interaction effect (5 t ha-1 and 150% RDN) significantly increased the N content of seeds (1.40 %), stover (0.47 %), and protein content of seeds (8.76 %). After decomposition of straw mulch in soil with additional application of nitrogen increased the available N (195.43 kg ha-1) over low level of nitrogen dose with no mulching. The combined application of mulching @ 5 t ha-1 with 150% RDN resulted highest net return (₹76,365/- ha-1) with maximum B:C ratio (1.29).

Aonla (Emblica officinalis Geartn.) possess significant nutraceutical properties and to utilize Aonla for various value additions, its fruit powder is one of the best option for several preparations. As there are different drying methods for preparation of fruit pulp powder, it is needed to find out the most suitable method for drying which can efficiently retain nutritional and organoleptic properties of Aonla Fruit pulp powder. Thus, we conducted an experiment to study the effect of drying methods viz., Sun Drying, Oven Drying, Air Drying and Freeze Drying on Physico-Biochemical properties of Aonla fruit pulp powder. The findings shows that moisture percent and bulk density was maximum in Sun drying method followed by Air drying while minimum was with Oven drying followed by Freeze Drying. Ash (5.71%), Fiber (8.41%), Protein percent (10.73%), Total Sugar (21.71%), Reducing Sugar (16.81%) & Non-Reducing Sugar (4.89%), Titratable Acidity (4.21%), Ascorbic acid (546.14 mg/100g), Total Phenols (371.63 mg/100g GAE) and DPPH Radical Scavenging Activity (88.23%) was found maximum with Freeze Drying followed by Air drying. Taste, Flavour, Aroma and Overall Acceptability was reported best with freeze drying method followed by air drying.

Aims: To find out the differences of symptoms of COVID-19 diseases among vaccinated and unvaccinated individual.

Study Design: This was a cross section type observational study.

Place and Duration of Study: Out door of cost guard Hospital Dhaka Bangladesh from July 2021 to January 2022.

Methodology: Here all persons who were found positive RT-PCR for COVID-19 from July 2021 to January 2022 were included in this study. This study was carried out among people who were serving under Cost guard Bangladesh. Here we had included all persons who became infected with COVID-19 irrespective of sex, ethnicity and vaccination status against COVID-19. Sampling was done by purposive random sampling method. Sample size was 104. Data analysis was done by using SPSS-26.

Results: In this study most of the participants (72.2%) were among 20-39 years age group and 97% were male. There was no specific symptom of COVID-19 rather its presentation mimics many other diseases. Fever (90.4%) and cough (85.6%) were found most common presentation. Other symptoms were sore throat (65.4%), loss of taste sensation (64.4%), headache (54.8%), loss of smell (40.4%), fatigue (36.5%) and loose motion (09.6%). In this study most of the participants (89%) were not vaccinated against COVID-19 before they have been infected with SARS COV-2. In this study we found that most prominent symptoms were fever and cough, of them 13% were vaccinated whereas 87% participants were not vaccinated against COVID-19 infection.

Conclusion: COVID-19 disease affects many part of the body and it’s presentation varies depending its effects on organs. Vaccine is an important invention to combat against COVID-19 though it cannot prevent a person from being infected. Vaccination cannot immune a person from being infected but it significantly reduced symptoms of infection. So vaccinations have beneficial effects.

Authors: Nyenye Lineo , Nwako Azubuike Benjamin
Published: July 2022

Aim: The aim of the present study was to highlight the presence and problem of antimicrobial resistance in our setting.

Case Presentation: We present a 17-year old female with yellow offensive vaginal discharge, itchiness and lower abdominal pain of about two-weeks duration. She was treated with antibiotics based on laboratory results of urine and high vaginal swabs. However, the symptoms persisted despite the treatment and high adherence to the medications.

Discussion: Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) presents a painful risk to human health and life around the globe. The efficacy and effectiveness of antimicrobial agents are now under massive threat from increasing resistance of disease pathogens to antimicrobial agents. The unexplained failure of antibiotic therapy occurred despite the prescription being based on sensitivity results from swab culture on two separate occasions.

Conclusion: There is need for high index of suspicion of antimicrobial resistance by health workers. There is also need for rational prescription, dispensing and use of antimicrobial agents. Patients need increased access to high quality antimicrobial medicines and more awareness of the development, spread and prevention of antimicrobial resistance.

The present study entitled “Estimation of marketed surplus and constraints in production and marketing of milk in the Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh” was undertaken to know about Marketed surplus, marketing channels, and problems in the production and marketing of milk. The study has been undertaken in Paravada mandal of Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh during the Agricultural year 2021-2022. A total of 100 respondents were analyzed and data is interpreted. And respondents were categorized into three groups based on the number of milch animals. The overall average milk production is 19087.68 liters. The total quantity of milk production is 54389.21 liters. Out of this, family consumption is 957.95 liters, the marketable surplus is 18129.73 liters and the marketed surplus is 18129.73 liters with 5.0, 95.0, and 95.0 percent respectively. The total marketed surplus is 54389.21 liters with a value of Rs. 2387503.05. Lack of technical guidance for farmers, high cost of crossbreed animals, and lack of credit facilities are major problems in the production category. Less knowledge about marketing strategies and lack of technical guidance are the major marketing constraints faced by farmers in the study area. Some measures suggested to farmers and policymakers are there is a need for training for farmers regarding the dairy farming and how they attain the maximum profits from this sector, Dairy co-operative societies, and Cooperative milk plants should come together and provide incentives for the farmers. Institutional sources should provide easy way loans to farmers without any collateral. And with fewer interest rates.
