Angiographic criteria for differential diagnosis of hemangiomas and arteriovenous malformations of different localization
Authors: Altman Ihor , Shchehlov Dmytro
Published: August 2022

Hemangiomas and microfistular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are vascular anomalies with high blood flow velocity. On angiographic examination, they look the same, in the form of a contrasting spot of varying degrees of intensity. A comparative analysis of the angiographic picture in dynamics, during the performance of subtraction angiography, allows for differential diagnosis and clearly identifies the type of vascular anomaly.
Objective. to develop effective angiographic criteria for the differential diagnosis of hemangiomas and microfistular arteriovenous malformations (AVM) using subtraction angiography.
Material and methods. Subtraction angiography of patients with congenital vascular anomalies based on 27 studies.
Results. Analysis of angiographic data, performed in the subtraction mode, made it possible to identify characteristic angiographic differences between microfistular arteriovenous malformations and hemangiomas. The angiographic picture was studied in dynamics. The time between the onset of the arterial and venous contrasting phases, the duration of the parenchymal contrasting phase was calculated. In AVMs, outflow veins appear on the angiogram already in the first second of contrasting arteries due to rapid drainage of contrast through arteriovenous fistulas. The duration of contrasting the AVM shadow is no more than 2–3 seconds. Contrasting of the hemangioma parenchyma appears in the arterial phase at 2–3rd seconds and lasts for a long time from 3 to 10 seconds, due to a prolonged delay of the contrast medium in the cavernous structures of the hemangioma with late appearance of outflow veins.
Conclusions. Performing and analyzing subtraction angiography in patients with congenital vascular anomalies allows instant differential diagnosis between hemangiomas and microfistular arteriovenous malformations without using additional examination methods. This increases the efficiency and quality of diagnostics of patients with vascular abnormalities, allows you to immediately transfer the diagnostic procedure to endovascular surgery. It makes the possible to provide specialized medical care to patients with hemangiomas and AVMs in one session, without additional endovascular intervention.
Key words: hemangioma, arteriovenous malformation, differential diagnosis, angiography.

The aim of the study. Comparative analysis of the risk assessment of thromboembolism by CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores, and to study the preventive effectiveness of different antithrombotic agents in patients with long-lasting аtrial fibrillation (AF) at 1 year follow-up. Materials and methods. The study included 108 patients aged 38 to 78 years old (mean age 62,6±8,4 years) with persistent or permanent AF. In 93.5% of patients revealed coronary artery disease and / or arterial hypertension, in 6.5% - non-coronary heart diseases. The risk of tromboembolism assessed by CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores. Results. Patients at low risk of tromboembolism, according to CHADS2 score was 2.8%, in their absence, on a CHA2DS2-VASc score. Patients with moderate risk of tromboembolism, in these scores were 63.9% and 7,4% (χ2=72.653; p=0.000) respectively, and a high risk of tromboembolism - 33,3% and 92,6% (χ2=78,796, p=0.000) respectively. Depending on the ways to prevent tromboembolism, patients were divided into 2 groups. 1st group included patients treated with warfarin (n=90), and the endpoints were observed in 5.6% of patients. 2nd group included patients (n=18) treated with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and the end point was observed in 27.8% of patients. Conclusion. The introduction of a new CHA2DS2-VASc score led to an increase number of patients, who need mandatory anticoagulant therapy by 2.8 times. In the group of patients with atrial fibrillation treated with warfarin compared with a group of patients treated with aspirin, where cases of ischemic stroke have developed less often, and their clinical manifestation are less pronounced and are characterized by a benign course.

Young planets provide a window into the early stages and evolution of planetary systems. Ideal planets for such research are in coeval associations, where the parent population can precisely determine their ages. We describe a young association (MELANGE-3) in the Kepler field, which harbors two transiting planetary systems (KOI-3876 and Kepler-970). We identify MELANGE-3 by searching for kinematic and spatial overdensities around Kepler planet hosts with high levels of lithium. To determine the age and membership of MELANGE-3, we combine new high-resolution spectra with archival light curves, velocities, and astrometry of stars near KOI-3876 spatially and kinematically. We use the resulting rotation sequence, lithium levels, and color–magnitude diagram of candidate members to confirm the presence of a coeval 105 ± 10 Myr population. MELANGE-3 may be part of the recently identified Theia 316 stream. For the two exoplanet systems, we revise the stellar and planetary parameters, taking into account the newly determined age. Fitting the 4.5 yr Kepler light curves, we find that KOI-3876b is a 2.0 ± 0.1 R
⊕ planet on a 19.58 day orbit, while Kepler-970 b is a 2.8 ± 0.2 R
⊕ planet on a 16.73 day orbit. KOI-3876 was previously flagged as an eclipsing binary, which we rule out using radial velocities from APOGEE and statistically validate the signal as planetary in origin. Given its overlap with the Kepler field, MELANGE-3 is valuable for studies of spot evolution on year timescales, and both planets contribute to the growing work on transiting planets in young stellar associations.

Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) with small perihelion distances reach subsolar temperatures of ≥1000 K. They are hypothesized to undergo “supercatastrophic” disruption, potentially caused by near-Sun processes such as thermal cracking, spin-up, meteoroid impacts, and subsurface volatile release, all of which are likely to cause surface alteration, which may change the spectral slope of the surface. We attempted to observe 35 of the 53 known near-Sun asteroids with q ≤ 0.15 au from 2017 January to 2020 March to search for trends related to near-Sun processes. We report the optical colors and spectral slopes of 22 objects that we successfully observed and the measured rotation periods for three objects. We find the distribution of colors to be overall bluer than the color distribution of NEAs, though there is a large overlap. We attribute the large scatter to unknown dynamical histories and compositions for individual objects, as well as competing surface altering processes. We also investigated potential correlations between colors and other properties (e.g., perihelion distance, Tisserand parameter, rotation period) and searched for evidence of activity. Finally, we have compiled all known physical and dynamical properties of these objects, including probabilistic source regions and dwell times with q ≤ 0.15 au.

The surfaces of airless bodies such as asteroids are exposed to many phenomena that can alter their physical properties. Bennu, the target of the OSIRIS-REx mission, has demonstrated how complex the surface of a small body can be. In 2019 November, the potentially hazardous asteroid 2015 JD1 experienced a close approach of 0.033 1 au from the Earth. We present results of the physical characterization of 2015 JD1 based on ground-based radar, spectroscopy, and photometric observations acquired during 2019 November. Radar polarimetry measurements from the Arecibo Observatory indicate a morphologically complex surface. The delay-Doppler images reveal a contact binary asteroid with an estimated visible extent of ∼150 m. Our observations suggest that 2015 JD1 is an E-type asteroid with a surface composition similar to aubrites, a class of differentiated enstatite meteorites. The dynamical properties of 2015 JD1 suggest that it came from the ν
6 resonance with Jupiter, and spectral comparison with major E-type bodies suggests that it may have been derived from a parental body similar to the progenitor of the E-type (64) Angelina. Significantly, we find rotational spectral variation across the surface of 2015 JD1 from the red to blue spectral slope. Our compositional analysis suggests that the spectral slope variation could be due to the lack of iron and sulfides in one area of the surface of 2015 JD1 and/or differences in grain sizes.

Authors: Indrayanti Indrayanti , Hidayati Titiek , Setyanto Arif B.
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: The number of smokers is increasing in Indonesia. Cigarette smoke can cause many diseases, such as lung cancer. Centella asiatica (CAS) and Cyperus rotundus L. rhizomes (CRR) exhibit anti-cancer effects.

AIM: The study examined the cytotoxic effects of CRR and CAS extracts in lung cancer cells.

METHODOLOGY: This research used the maceration method to extract the CAS and CRR powder and methanol solvent. Extraction was tested at 600μl, 400μl, 200 μl, 100 μl, and 50 μl to determine the effect of compound cytotoxicity causing 50% cell death or IC50. Cytotoxicity tests used the MTT method to obtain purple formation crystals and used an ELISA reader to obtain absorbance values.

RESULTS: CRR and CAS extract shows a low cytotoxicity effect. IC50 of CRR and CAS methanol extracts was 235 μg/ml and 279 μg/ml, respectively.

CONCLUSION: CRR and CAS extracts were proven to show chemopreventive activities against lung cancer cells.

The aim is a comparative histological study of the relative number of fetal erythroblasts in the vessels of the placentas from a full term pregnancy with a low and high risk of fetal hypoxic damage. Material and methods. Based on data on the course of pregnancy, the state of health of the mother and the fetus/newborn, as well as histological examination of the placenta, 388 archived placenta tissue samples were selected in 2 groups: a high risk group for chronic hypoxic damage to the fetus and a group without clinical and laboratory signs of fetal/newborn hypoxia. The relationship between the number of erythroblasts in the vessels of the placenta and chronic hypoxic damage to the fetus was analyzed. Results: The high risk of chronic hypoxic fetal damage is higher for placentas with ≥8 fetal erythroblasts in chorionic villi vessels (OR=3.175; 95% CI =1.921-5.248, p<0.001), with maternal vascular malperfusion (OR=2.798; 95% CI = 1.506-5.164, p=0.001) and combined (cross) placental lesions (OR=2.245; 95%CI=1.246-4.046, p =0.007) with damage of ≥30% of placental tissue. Conclusion: 8 or more fetal erythroblasts in the lumen of the vessels of the placenta is an additional independent factor in chronic hypoxic damage to the fetus. These results are of practical importance for identifying a group of newborns with a high risk of chronic hypoxic damage in the perinatal period and stratification of the risk group in the postnatal period in order to reduce infant morbidity and mortality.
Distribution of Biscogniauxia mediterranea and its potential insect vectors on Quercus suber in Southwestern Bulgaria
Authors: Bencheva Sonja , Doychev Danail
Published: August 2022

This is the first study in Bulgaria on the distribution of Biscogniauxia mediterraneа in cork oak plantations (Quercus suber). Symptoms of the disease (presence of exudate and wounds with stroma) caused by the fungus have been found on stems and branches of cork oak in Maleshevska Mountain. Harvesting of cork does not visibly affect the phytosanitary status of the trees. A significantly higher risk of parasitic fungus development occurs in coppice-managed crops where it causes the death of young trees. The associations of ten insect species with the Quercus suber are new for Bulgaria. Eight of them are possible vectors of the fungus.

Published: August 2022

Le recrutement représente une opération à fort enjeu pour les PME. Elles sont en effet structurellement désavantagées par rapport aux grandes entreprises dans la compétition pour le recrutement de talents. Dans ce contexte, la gestion de la marque employeur (c’est à dire la définition d’une proposition de valeur et communication de cette proposition de valeur) peut constituer une piste encore insuffisamment exploitée. Cet article vise à fournir des voies d’action concrètes aux PME pour faire face à cet enjeu. Il propose de tester les effets de deux éléments du site internet d’une PME sur les attitudes et intentions comportementales des candidats : la présentation des bénéfices proposés par l’employeur et le caractère hospitalier du site internet. Une étude expérimentale conduite auprès 1545 salariés et demandeurs d’emploi montre que ces deux éléments influencent de manière différenciée le soutien organisationnel anticipé des candidats et leur intention de postuler. Les résultats obtenus invitent à s’interroger sur l’importance pour les PME de communiquer sur leur marque employeur, ainsi que sur l’efficacité de la transposition du concept d’hospitalité virtuelle issu du marketing au domaine du recrutement. Au niveau managérial, cet article met également en évidence le rôle du site internet institutionnel comme outil de communication au service de l’attractivité des PME.
Capital de marque employeur et attractivité organisationnelle des Big Four
Authors: Guillot-Soulez Chloé , Roussillon Soyer Claude
Published: August 2022

Les grands cabinets d’audit et de conseil, dénommés les Big Four (Deloitte, EY, KPMG et PwC) sont chaque année en concurrence pour recruter des milliers de candidats, en particulier des jeunes diplômés. Dans ce contexte, leur capital de marque employeur, c’est-à-dire la valeur de la marque employeur en fonction des bénéfices que l’employeur est en mesure d’offrir, est décisif pour attirer ces candidats. Alors que les études menées jusqu’à présent ont privilégié une vision interne en considérant les avantages et inconvénients associés, par les employés, au fait de travail dans ces Big Four , cette recherche s’appuie sur la théorie du capital de marque employeur pour analyser quelles dimensions du capital de marque employeur influencent l’attractivité organisationnelle de ces cabinets auprès des ressources humaines potentielles. L’enquête par questionnaires menée auprès de 617 étudiants en fin de cursus spécialisés en Finance/Comptabilité permet d’identifier que le capital de marque employeur des Big Four est composé de cinq dimensions (Tremplin de carrière, Qualité de vie au travail, Apprentissage, Rémunération et International) qui influencent positivement l’intention de candidater et de poursuivre le processus de recrutement. L’attractivité générale apparait comme une variable médiatrice totale pour deux dimensions (Rémunération et International) et partielle pour trois dimensions (Tremplin de carrière, QVT et Apprentissage). Ces résultats permettent d’enrichir la littérature et de formuler des préconisations en termes de management de la marque employeur.

Published: August 2022

Despite the importance of edible insects as future food sources, studies on their nutritional and functional properties are limited. The aim of this study was to assess the hypothesis that edible insects are nutritionally and functionally preferred and have potential for development as a food material. Seven commercially available edible insects (twin-star cricket, yellow mealworm larvae, rice locust, silkworm pupae,Baekgangjam, long-lived beetle larvae, and white-spotted beetle larvae) were purchased, and analysed for their proximate compositions, contents of nine minerals, antioxidant potential, and phenolic acid and flavonoid contents. Among the proximate components, the protein contents of rice locust,Baekgangjam, and white-spotted beetle larvae were high. The calcium, sodium, zinc, and copper contents were the highest in twin-star crickets, while the phosphorus and magnesium contents were highest in silkworm pupae, and the potassium and iron contents were highest in white-spotted beetle larvae. The total phenolic acid content was high in silkworm pupae and white-spotted beetle larvae. The flavonoid content was high inBaekgangjam. The antioxidant activity was high inBaekgangjam, white-spotted beetle larvae, and rice locust. These edible insects can be used in the development of nutritionally fortified foods for the public or in functional foods for elderly and medical patients.
Differences in Marginality Between Nursing Students With and Without Disabilities
Authors: Englund Heather M. , Lancaster Rachelle J.
Published: August 2022

Background:

Barriers exist in nursing education for students with disabilities. Students with disabilities often experience associated stigma and a perceived lack of support by nursing faculty and academic leaders.

Method:

A nonexperimental descriptive design was used to examine differences in perceived marginality between nursing students with and without disabilities (
n
= 7,399) in the United States.

Results:

Participants who identified as having a disability described more marginalization (
M
= 45.9,
SD
= 10.5) than participants who did not identify as having a disability (
M
= 38.3,
SD
= 9.2), t(927) = 19.4,
p
< .001.

Conclusion:

Findings suggest marginalization exists for students with disabilities. Academic leaders and faculty should address systems, structures, and polices that potentially pose barriers to self-reporting, matriculation, and progression of students with disabilities.

Authors: Rezaei Soheila , Vaezi Fatemeh , Afzal Golnaz , Naderi Nasim , Mehralian Gholamhossein
Published: August 2022

Background:

Heart failure is a costly condition with high morbidity and mortality rates in low- and middle-income countries. Nonadherence to prescribed therapies can lead to severe problems such as poorer health outcomes, higher health care expenditures, increased hospitalizations, and even higher mortality rates in patients with advanced heart disease.

Objective:

The aim of the present study is to investigate medication adherence and the association between medication adherence and health literacy in Iranian patients with heart failure.

Methods:

This study was conducted in the heart failure outpatient clinic of Shahid Rajaee Cardiovascular, Medical, and Research Center in Tehran, Iran. Medical records and validated questionnaires were used to collect the necessary information on the survey variables, including sociodemographic characteristics, medication adherence, and health literacy, for a total of 250 patients with heart failure. Stepwise logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the variables that independently and significantly predicted medication nonadherence.

Key Results:

The results showed that most patients with heart failure had low medication adherence. Some factors, including gender, health literacy, and duration of illness, were associated with adherence. The study results showed a positive association between higher health literacy and better medication adherence.

Conclusion:

In view of the results, further studies on heart failure are needed to investigate other factors related to medication adherence and health literacy level to achieve better disease management and improve patients' treatment adherence. [

Carcinogenic hexavalent chromium is increasing worldwide due to the increased electroplating, welding and textile industry. On the other hand, molasses, the sugar factory's byproduct with high organic compounds (sugars), may pollute the environment if it is not processed. However, microbial fuel cell (MFC) seems to be a promising technology due to its ability to produce electrical energy from pollutant degradation using microbes while reducing hexavalent chromium to trivalent chromium with less toxicity. Carbon felt was used at both electrodes. This research aimed to determine the effect of modifying the anode with rice bran and cathode with Cu catalyst towards electricity generation and pollutant removal in molasses and reducing Cr (Ⅵ) into Cr (Ⅲ) using tubular microbial fuel cells. Moreover, the effect of mixing Sidoarjo mud and Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 as electricigen bacteria toward electrical energy production and pollutant removal was determined. Experiments revealed that the S/CM/AM variable, which only used Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 as an electricigen bacteria with both modified electrodes, produced the highest total power density of 530.42 mW/m2 and the highest percentage of Cr (Ⅵ) reduction of 98.87%. In contrast, the highest microbial population of 66.5 × 1010 cells/mL, 61.28% of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5) removal and 59.49% of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) were achieved by SSi/CM/AM variable, mixing Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 and Sidoarjo mud as an electricigen bacteria with both modified electrodes. Therefore, this study indicates that double chamber tubular microbial fuel cells may be a sustainable solution for managing molasses and carcinogen hexavalent chromium.

A constitued constituent process? Chile’s failed attempt to replace Pinochet’s constitution (2013-2019)
Authors: Pablo Contreras  , Lovera Domingo
Published: August 2022

Chile’s 1980 constitution was forcibly imposed by a bloody dictatorship. Its original sin, however, was not the only democratic fault. The rules or constitutional locks were designed to have a protected democracy that limited the exercise of popular sovereignty. Until today, Chile is the only Latin American democracy that has not yet replaced the substantive normative grounds upon which the dictatorship cemented its power. The paper examines how the theory of constituted constituent power may have ambivalent results, by taking Chile’s case study. In particular, it assess the attempt of former President Bachelet to replace the Constitution under the current rules. Although such project initially had the potential to truly transform Chile’s constitutio
“Medidas excepcionais para tempos excepcionais”: a Operação Lava Jato e a erosão democrática brasileira
Authors: Lima Martonio Mont'Alverne Barreto , Linhares Emanuel Andrade
Published: August 2022

Este artigo baseia-se em recentes experiências judiciais brasileiras para apresentar uma análise crítica acerca de como a denominada Operação Lava Jato contribuiu para o processo erosivo que tem comprometido a estrutura do nosso sistema constitucional. O objetivo central é problematizar a forma como decisões judiciais exceptivas proliferadas dentro do aparente funcionamento regular das instituições jurídicas, notadamente no contexto da referida força-tarefa, levam ao contínuo esgarçamento do tecido democrático, traduzindo-se em mecanismos sofisticados de violações sistêmicas, distintos da força bruta militar de outrora, mas, igualmente, com efeitos deletérios à ordem constitucional. A pesquisa é do tipo bibliográfica e jurisprudencial, de vez que explica o problema a partir de referências teóricas (clássicas e contemporâneas) e da análise crítica de decisões judiciais. É também de natureza qualitativa, tendo em vista o caráter subjetivo do ensaio; e explicativa, na medida em que identifica fatores que contribuem para a ocorrência do fenômeno erosivo a despertar preocupações acadêmicas. Por seu caráter simbólico e desdobramentos sequenciais práticos, utiliza-se como marco argumentativo a decisão tomada pelo Tribunal Regional Federal da 4ª Região que representa a doutrina-síntese do lavajatismo: “soluções inéditas para casos inéditos”. Os resultados do ensaio apontam para consequências nocivas da agenda antipolítica que o protagonismo na condução da Operação Lava Jato concorreu para despertar, e à necessidade de resgate do respeito a princípios mínimos de institucionalidade e ao império da lei como salvaguardas à democracia constitucional brasileira.
Constitucionalismo Pós-Moderno e (co)relação com o Direito Internacional dos Direitos Humanos
Authors: Trindade dos Santos Paulo Junior
Published: August 2022

O Constitucionalismo Moderno, desenvolvido nos moldes do Estado-Nação e do paradigma científico cartesiano-mecanicista, não mais condiz com a realidade atual, global e complexa. Tendo em vista esse panorama, o estudo versa sobre o Constitucionalismo Pós-Moderno, uma nova maneira de tratar as relações entre Direito, Estado, Constituição e direitos humanos, enfrentando o seguinte problema: de que maneira o Constitucionalismo Pós-Moderno, com sua normatividade transdisciplinar e aberta, pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento do Direito Internacional dos Direitos Humanos? Seu objetivo geral é expor as possibilidades para que, em uma epistemologia constitucional pós-moderna, o sistema jurídico em rede absorva os direitos humanos reconhecidos no plano internacional. Seus objetivos específicos são: (a) apresentar os limites do Constitucionalismo Moderno perante a absorção dos direitos humanos reconhecidos no plano internacional; (b) introduzir os reflexos do contexto pós-moderno no Constitucionalismo e na formação de um Estado Global; e (c) explanar a nova epistemologia jurídica calcada na transdisciplinaridade entre Direito Constitucional, Direito Internacional e Direitos Humanos. Utilizando a técnica bibliográfica e a abordagem qualitativa, trata de assuntos estritamente relacionados entre si, como a transição do paradigma científico cartesiano-mecanicista para o paradigma científico da complexidade-reflexividade, Estado Ativo-Responsivo e governança global.
Georgia Warnke e a virada hermenêutica na teoria política: possibilidades e obstáculos
Authors: Barbosa-Fohrmann Ana Paula , De Moraes Renato José , Alves de Melo Arthur Cezar
Published: August 2022

Georgia Warnke analisou as posições de autores relevantes sobre justiça e filosofia política. Ela escreveu largamente a respeito da obra de Walzer, Rawls, Dworkin e Habermas. Neles, reconheceu a presença do que ela denomina virada interpretativa ou hermenêutica, que se caracteriza por justificar as instituições, tradições, normas e valores sociais não em princípios universais e abstratos, mas no modo como a sociedade efetivamente os aceita e interpreta. Ao mesmo tempo, ela ressalta o que considera serem debilidades nas teorias desses pensadores, relacionadas ou à falta de uma preocupação maior sobre as diferenças de interpretações sobre os significados das tradições e normas sociais ─ Rawls e Habermas ─, ou à adesão a visões demasiado partidárias ou políticas ─ Walzer e Dworkin. Warnke propõe uma teoria política que tem por tarefa fornecer as condições para o diálogo frutuoso entre as várias posições no âmbito da vida política, mas ela não soluciona o problema dos desacordos de difícil solução que surgem no âmbito da convivência política.
Impact of Magnetic Water Treatments on Citrus Cultivation
Authors: Abobatta Waleed Fouad , Elaoud Anis
Published: August 2022

Climate change conditions such as drought, rising temperature, and high solar radiation cause increasing salinity levels, which are considered the main factor that limits agricultural production. Therefore, to prevent food security in arid and semi-arid areas from being subject to climatic hazards, optimal water management is essential. To surmount this problem, research is focused on innovation likely to improve efficiency water use and protect the water resources. In order to overcome the problems of contaminated water and salinization problems, the researchers used a new technique based on a magnetic field. Thus, magnetized water used for irrigation can improve water productivity and increase the production of agricultural crops, thus sustaining the water resources for the future in view of the expected global water scarcity. In this context, this chapter discusses the characteristics linked to magnetic treatments on irrigation water by studying the parameters of water quality and their effects on productivity and fruit quality of the citrus orchards.

Authors: Sharabasy Shrief Fathy , Ghazzawy Hesham Sayed
Published: August 2022

Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), commonly grown in the hot arid zones predominantly in the Middle East and North Africa, provides highly healthy fruits in addition to multiple uses for all parts of the tree. With the interest of many countries of the world in the direction towards planting palm trees, it was therefore significant to point out the importance of agricultural practices that are concerned with serving the palm crown, such as pollination, pruning, fruit thinning, bunch covering, and bagging fruits. The paramount importance of soil service and irrigation operations that will obtain the highest productivity of trees and achieve remunerative profits for the stakeholders and those interested in the palm sector from breeders and factory owners are shown. The latest technologies and modern programs that serve this essential agricultural sector were reviewed.
Diagnosis of Diabetes Types-2 Mellitus Based on Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Tripathi Somendra , Sharan Hari Om
Published: August 2022

Diabetes Type-2 is one of the significant medical problems nowadays. Diabetes Type-2 is no longer only a disease of the wealthy; its prevalence is rapidly rising everywhere, particularly in the world's middle class income for different countries. Presently it is not an illness of transcendently developed countries. The pervasiveness of diabetes is consistently expanding all over, most extraordinarily on the planet's center pay countries. The majority of these 3.7 million deaths occur before the age of 70. The number of people who die before they are 70 as a result of high blood glucose or diabetes is higher. There are several computational ways for detecting Diabetes Mellitus, but the major downside is that the patient must undergo several medical tests in order to supply input values to the computer diagnostic system, which is both costly and tedious. There are now a variety of techniques and algorithms in artificial intelligent and machine learning that can be applied to accurately predict and detect a number of diseases.
Digitization and Digital Preservation of the Heritage Sites of Uttarakhand Using Machine Learning and Innovative Techniques
Authors: Kumar Sunil , Bhatt Ashutosh Kumar , Mishra Rahul Kumar
Published: August 2022

History should be preserved so that it can be made available for future generations. Thus arises the need for digitization of cultural heritage. The present chapter discusses digitization of cultural heritage of the temples of the state of Uttarakhand, the one which fall in the Kumaon region of North India. Preserving such heritage with the help of digital technology is a fast-emerging trend in the current century. Digital technologies support the recording, analysis, and management of cultural heritage around the world. The chapter brings forth the multiple ways in which it is done and how the same has helped in the preservation, interpretation, and appreciation of the rich cultural heritage. Undoubtedly, they facilitate accessibility and improve understanding of these sites. At the same time, there are fears too in some quarters that digital technologies undermine the need to conserve the “real thing.” The chapter proposes various methods and processes to preserve temples, an important component of cultural heritage.
Rapid Digital Ethnography as Tool of Ubuntu
Authors: Rashid Farjana
Published: August 2022

Anthropological research makes it possible to know the habits, customs, and history or culture of a particular group of people. There a neuroscientist can work as an objective or value-leiden, where they live, work, or perform certain tasks. In this chapter, the author shows that this strategy, meaning inserting digital precision in ethnographic work, is done through adaptation, which gives rise to rapid anthropology, which, based on the same principle, establishes a short time of immersion, then issues or opportunities that justify projects. In this case, can we work with this objectively or neutrally? The creative insights are sought, conceptually. This short chapter leans with Ubuntu philosophy, which tells that no one is alone. The combination of ethnographic design with ethnographic design allows us to gain more solid information about the analyzed contexts. Although working in the light of Bangladesh, in fact, the importance of this work is broad, and its appeal is global.

Authors: Tikhomirova Vera A.
Published: August 2022

The need for the transition of the Russian agro-industrial complex to a qualitatively new level of technological development, which fully meets the current challenges and contradictions, has become more apparent. The research presents a review of the most promising innovative technologies of agro-industrial production, the introduction of which in the Russian AIC will increase the competitiveness of Russian food on the foreign market, positively affect the efficiency of environmental management, and reduce anthropogenic risks. The consideration of the advanced foreign experience in improving the sustainability of national food systems through the use of innovations in the resource provision of food production, expanding the use of remote channels of sale of food products, digitalization of customs procedures, and monitoring the safety and quality of goods in the implementation of export-import operations allowed the author to identify the most pressing areas of the Russian economy and propose a set of measures that can be used during the creation of a national food ecosystem.

Authors: Sood Pallavi , Bhushan Puneet
Published: August 2022

Banks globally have a dire need for a more systematic and structured fraud risk management framework. In an emerging economy like India, the number of frauds discovered over the years continues to pose challenges towards creating effective fraud mitigating strategies. The study examines factors affecting fraud detection, prevention, and response to various types of financial frauds in Indian banks. A total of seven factors were extracted out of 34 items, with respect to the bank employees' perception on fraud detection, prevention, and response. After further examination of the factors, significant difference was found in the perception of challenges faced in fraud detection, prevention, and response within varied categories. The study can prove to be a foundation for gaining insights from banking stakeholders who encounter fraudulent incidents.
Intrauterine adhesions, peritubal adhesions and tubal occlusion on hysterosalpingography

Published: August 2022

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), Dilatation and Curettage (D&C) and other abdominopelvic surgeries are often presumed to cause female infertility. This can occur through adhesions formation that can result in Intrauterine Adhesions (IUA), Peritubal Adhesions (PTA) and Tubal Occlusion (TO). Hysterosalpingography (HSG) can be used to diagnose IUA, PTA, and TO; and the correlations of these findings with the histories of PID, D&C and other abdominopelvic surgeries statistically tested. The available literature shows very few of such correlation tests. The objective of this study was to document HSG diagnosis of IUA, PTA and TO, and test their correlation with histories of previous PID, D&C and abdominopelvic surgeries among women with secondary infertility. This is a prospective descriptive study of 158 subjects, analyzed with SPSS version 21. For correlation test, p≤0.05 is considered significant. There was history of previous PID in 53 subjects (33.5%), D&C in 114 (72.2%), and abdominopelvic surgery in 80 (50.6%). The important findings included: IUA in 20 subjects (12.7%), TO in 53 (33.5%) and PTA in 30 (19.0%). Significant correlation was found between D&C and PTA, but not between PID and IUA, PID and TO, PID and PTA, D&C and IUA, D&C and TO, abdominopelvic surgery and IUA, abdominopelvic surgery and TO, or abdominopelvic surgery and PTA. Tubal occlusion, followed by PTA and by IUA were detected in that order as the possible causes of infertility in our subjects; and these did not correlate well with the history of PID, D&C and other abdominopelvic surgeries.
La neuroetica. Considerazioni critiche
Authors: Madonna Federica
Published: August 2022

Il presente lavoro si basa su alcune riflessioni critiche inerenti il nascente indirizzo di ricerca, prefiggendosi lo scopo di mettere in luce le contraddizioni di un “umanesimo scientifico” di cui la neuroetica vorrebbe farsi portavoce. L’analisi tende a dimostrare che il costituendo indirizzo è parte integrante di una cornice concettuale più ampia (la bioetica), ma anche la risultante – per certi aspetti – di un tentativo di ripristino dell’epistemologia ed ontologia dell’epoca moderna.
