Published: May 2022

Objective: The aim of the study was to study the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities in patients of depression.
Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted among 60 patients of depression. All the patients were evaluated for sociodemographic profile and Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview was administered to evaluate, identify, and diagnose the most common psychiatric comorbidities as per its modules.
Results: Results showed that 65.0% of patients had psychiatric comorbidities and 35.0% had no psychiatric comorbidity. About 53.3% patients had psychiatric comorbidity of generalized anxiety disorder, 23.3% patients had psychiatric comorbidity of suicidality, 11.7% had panic disorders, 6.7% had alcohol use disorders, and 5.0% had substance use disorders (SUDs) (non-alcoholic). No statistically significant association was found in prevalence of different psychiatric comorbidities among sociodemographic characteristics of age, gender, region, religion, family type, educational status, and occupational groups. However, statistically significant association was seen among alcohol use disorders in different gender groups and occupational groups.
Conclusion: Our study showed the highest prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity of generalized anxiety disorder and then suicidality, panic disorders, alcohol use disorders, and least prevalence of SUDs. No statistically significant association was found between sociodemographic characteristics and psychiatric comorbidities except association of alcohol use disorders with gender and occupational groups. There is a paucity of research exploring relationship of specific psychiatric comorbidities in depressive patients in India. Data of our study will contribute to enrich the Indian specific data on psychiatric comorbidities in depression and help formulate appropriate management strategies.

Published: May 2022

Abstract: Black cotton soil is expansive type of soil that expands suddenly and starts swelling once it comes in contact with water. The strength of the soil is very poor due to its physical properties. Expansive soils exhibit improved response in behaviour with different types of stabilizers. Stabilization with admixtures is found to be an effective technique to improve the strength properties of the black cotton soil. During this study the potential of rice husk ash and bagasse ash are found to be useful admixtures to improve the strength properties of the expansive soil. The rice husk is an agricultural by-product from rice milling and bagasse ash is a sugarcane waste from sugar industry. In this research an approach is made to improve the properties of black cotton soil with combination of bagasse ash and rice husk ash. The results show substantial improvement in engineering properties of black cotton soil with the admixtures. Keywords: Black Cotton Soil, Rice Husk Ash, Bagasse Ash.

Authors: Sarda Kaushal Kailas
Published: May 2022

Abstract: Weather forecasting has now entered the era of Data Visualisation due to the advancement of climate observing systems like satellite meteorological observation and also because of the increase in the collection of weather data. So, the traditional intelligence models are not adequate to predict the weather precisely. Hence, machine learning-based techniques are importantto process massive datasets that can learn and make predictions more precise based on past data. This research paper provides a thorough review of different rainfall prediction techniques, along with the help of publicly available datasets. Statistical techniques for rainfall forecasting cannot predict well for long-term rainfall forecasting due to the constant change of climate phenomena every year. This paper delivers a precise classification of rainfall forecasting models and discusses potential future research methods in this area.

Adaptive Air Quality Sensing using Machine Learning
Authors: K Dr. Vijayakumar , M M Rahul , G Dhamodara Prasath , V Aravinth
Published: May 2022

Abstract: Air pollution is a worldwide problem having impacts on both local and global scales. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution causes 7 million deaths every year, with 4.2 million attributed to exposure to outdoor air pollution. Compared to the reference methods defined in the Air Quality Directive, the use of low-cost air quality sensors for monitoring ambient air pollution would reduce air pollution monitoring costs and would also allow larger spatial coverage especially in remote areas where monitoring with traditional facilities is uneasy. Theses multi-sensors were either calibrated against standard gas mixtures or using artificial neural network under field conditions. The later method resulted in mixed results either satisfactory for short periods or generally weak for longer data series. This project mainly focuses on the adaptive calibration of the low-cost sensors using the trained machine learning model. The performances of several field calibration methods for low-cost sensors, including linear/multi linear regression and supervised learning techniques will be compared. A cluster of ozone, nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen monoxide, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide sensors will be operated. Subsequently, the accuracy of the predicted values will be evaluated for about a period. These predicted values are fed through the training model and the model will run accordingly and it will adapt all the error situations. This will be useful to the automobile industry in the current situation for smoke emission control and also for many refinery industries in which low-cost sensors can be used with the following modelling for the higher accuracy. This would reduce the cost and also yields more accuracy beyond the varying situation. Keywords: 1) Low-Cost Sensors (LCS) 2) Internet of Things (IoT)

In semiotics studies it views social phenomena in society and culture as signs, semiotics study systems, rules, and conventions that enable such signs to have meaning. As a method of analysis, there are some approaches that can be used for semiotics analysis. To examine the advertisements for human cosmetics in the study, the data analysis used is a semiotics analysis of Charles sanders peirce with the sense triangle theory that it claims. Peirce sees the sign (representation) as part of the object's reference is seita the subject's understanding of the sign. The study is used to learn about beauty analysis in more in-depth cosmetic ads. The data used in this study is not statistical data but descriptive, in words, not Numbers.
Da situação legal das pessoas intersexo e a possibilidade de reconhecimento do terceiro sexo pelo ordenamento jurídico brasileiro
Authors: Bernardes da Silveira Oliveira dos Santos Jamille , Silva Galdino Cardin Valéria
Published: May 2022

A intersexualidade é uma condição físico-biológica caracterizada por corpos que possuem aspectos sexuais relacionados tanto ao sexo feminino como masculino. No Brasil, a Resolução n.º 1.664/2003 do Conselho Federal de Medicina trata a intersexualidade como um Anomalia de Diferenciação sexual (ADS) e considera essa como uma situação de urgência biológica e social. No âmbito jurídico inexistem dispositivos que tratem do reconhecimento das pessoas intersexos. Essas pessoas restam, inclusive, impedidas de terem acesso à certidão de nascimento, porquanto, para o assentamento dessa, a Lei de Registros Públicos exige que os genitores indiquem o sexo e o nome da criança, contudo, mesmo que a mencionada lei não determine quais sexos serão aceitos, a prática social considera apenas corpos femininos e masculinos como válidos. Diante disso, utilizando-se da pesquisa teórica, o presente artigo tem por objetivo demonstrar a atual situação jurídica das pessoas intersexo e argumentar pela possibilidade do reconhecimento do terceiro sexo, sendo o acesso à certidão de nascimento um direito da personalidade.

Emerging green routes to nanocellulose
Authors: Ciriminna Rosaria , Gharhemani Mina , Karimi Babak , Pagliaro Mario
Published: May 2022

Nanocellulose is an exceptional biomaterial whose industrial
applications in widely different sectors and technologies so far were
chiefly limited by the high cost of its multi-step extraction routes.
Extraction methods of cellulose nanocrystals or nanofibers, indeed,
generally involve energy-intensive mechanical treatment of  wood pulp, 
treatment with concentrated H2SO4 to obtain cellulose nanocrystals, or
chemical oxidation of the nanofibers followed by mechanical fibrillation
of the partly oxidized fibers. In the last decade (2011-2021) a number
of new green routes to cellulose nanofibers and nanocrystals have been
developed. This study provides a critical outlook of such emerging green
new routes to this versatile and safe bionanomaterial that once
sustainably produced, preferably from low cost cellulosic biowaste, will
become uniquitous in a number of different industrial products.

Authors: LI Hongfu , YAO Jiawei , WU Ying , NIU Kangmin
Published: May 2022

The synergistic combination of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and ductile
thermoplastic resin has shown large potential in the improvement of
fracture resistance for the epoxy matrix composites using the
interleaving toughening method in recent years. The hybrid structure of
CNTs and thermoplastic resin in interlayers affects directly the
interlaminar structure and the resultant crack propagation path of the
interleaved composites. In this work, the CNTs and thermoplastic
polyetherketone-cardo (PEK-C) were used to prepare the interlayer with
different hybrid structures to interleave the carbon fiber reinforced
epoxy composites and the influence of hybrid structure on the
interlaminar structure and the fracture toughness was investigated. The
results showed that PEK-C/CNT/PEK-C sandwich interlayer produced the
best toughening effect in mode I interlaminar fracture toughness
(G) and the G was
446.76 J/m , increased by 138.11% compared to blank
composites, which benefited from the multilayered structure in the
interlaminar region formed during curing process and the resultant
tortuous crack propagation.

Authors: Nalawade Pravin , Pawar Dnaneshwar , Somwanshi Kirti
Published: May 2022

Using soil survey database, the current study aims to determine the
optimum feasible land surface for grape cultivation in order to increase
and optimize production. Proper management of land resources requires
micro-level assessment. The study area is village Rahud in the
drought-prone zone of Nashik district, Maharashtra, India. The village’s
current land use and land cover data point to proper soil resource
management for fallow land reclamation. The revenue map was used to
create the base map. The NBSS and LUP criteria are used to assess the
suitability of a soil location for grape production. The study area’s
varied land use/cover and slope components were used to gather detailed
soil samples and measure soil hydrological parameters. The spatial
variation of soil physical, chemical, and hydrological parameters was
assessed using soil sample collection and analysis. To assess
quantitative and spatial variation of soil suitability for grape
cultivation Geoinformatics and statistical approaches were used. The
standards raster database was used for ranking and parametric evaluation
and spatial assessment. Highly suitable land accounts 22.95 % of the
entire village, moderately suitable land is 27.11 % and marginally
suitable land covers 22.67 %. Fallow land contains marginally
appropriate classes and is ideal for converting into suitable class
application if the proper soil measures followed.
Cross-reactivity of beta-lactam antibiotics in a patient with drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia
Authors: He Xiaoyan , Huang Wanting , Wan Xiong , Li Xiaoya , Chang Qiuhong , Ding Ling
Published: May 2022

Beta-lactam antibiotics are a relatively common cause of immune
thrombocytopenia. Cross-reactivity of them in patient with drug-induced
immune thrombocytopenia is rarely reported. Here, we describe the case
of a 79-year-old male patient experienced thrombocytopenia after
receiving piperacillin-tazobactam for acute exacerbation of chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Fortunately, the patient was
able to successfully challenge with meropenem and cefotiam. However,
after the cefoperazone-sulbactam was administered, the patient
experienced thrombocytopenia again. Therefore, there are cross-reactions
of platelet-relative antibodies between piperacillin-tazobactam and
cefoperazone-sulbactam. Although the exact responsible antibodies remain
unknown and need further investigation, attention should be paid to the
role of chemical structure similarities in determining the risk of
immune thrombocytopenia among beta-lactams in the clinical setting.
Data Resource: Children Receiving Care and Support and Children in Need, administrative records in Wales.
Authors: Lee Alexandra , Elliott Martin , Scourfield Jonathan , Bedston Stuart , Broadhurst Karen , Ford David , Griffiths Lucy
Published: May 2022

IntroductionIn Wales, the Children in Need (CIN) dataset includes information relating to needs of children and social care support. Before the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 came into force in April 2016, this data collection was named the Children in Need census, changing to Children Receiving Care and Support (CRCS) after this date to reflect better the children eligible for inclusion. This paper describes these datasets, their potential for research and their limitations. We describe data that researchers can access via the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank and exploratory linkages made to health records.
MethodsCIN and CRCS data were transferred to the SAIL Databank using a standardised approach to provide de-identified data with Anonymised Linking Fields (ALF) for successfully matched records. The linkage method relies on the use of Unique Pupil Numbers (UPN). As such, no records are currently available for children without a UPN, which includes most under age three. ALFs enabled linkage to individual-level health data within SAIL. Health service use was compared to non-CIN/CRCS populations.
ResultsCRCS data held within the SAIL Databank comprises 25,972 records, 81% of the total number of records reported by the Welsh Government. The CIN data contains 108,449 records, 79% of the Welsh Government's records for this data collection. Health service use of children in need, and children receiving care and support, was roughly equal to that of the non-CIN/CRCS population, except GP visits, where children in need had fewer consultations, and children receiving care and support had more consultations than the comparison population.
ConclusionResearchers can access Welsh CIN and CRCS datasets through the SAIL Databank, enabling research opportunities. Work is ongoing to improve records and to understand better the health and health service use among children captured by CIN and CRCS censuses.

Blessures autodéclarées chez les adolescents canadiens : taux et principaux corrélats
Authors: MacNabb Kathleen , Smith Nathan , Robinson Alysia , Ilie Gabriela , Asbridge Mark
Published: May 2022

Introduction

Les blessures subies par les adolescents au Canada constituent un problème de santé publique coûteux. Les recherches, limitées, qui ont été faites dans ce domaine reposent en grande partie sur des données administratives, qui sous-estiment la prévalence des blessures en omettant celles qui ne sont pas traitées par le système de santé. Les données autodéclarées fournissent des estimations à l’échelle de la population et comprennent des informations contextuelles utilisables pour déterminer les corrélats des blessures et les cibles possibles d’interventions en santé publique visant à réduire le fardeau des blessures.

Méthodologie

À l’aide des données de la vague de 2017 de l’Enquête sur la santé dans les collectivités canadiennes, nous avons calculé la prévalence des blessures autodéclarées, globalement et en fonction de leur caractère intentionnel ou non. Nous avons comparé la prévalence des blessures en fonction de l’âge, du sexe, de l’activité professionnelle, de la présence d’un trouble de l’humeur, de la présence d’un trouble d’anxiété, du tabagisme et de la consommation excessive d’alcool. Nous avons effectué les analyses à l’aide d’une régression logistique en vue d’établir les principaux corrélats pour lesquels les estimations de la prévalence sont significativement différentes.

Résultats

La prévalence globale des blessures subies au cours des 12 derniers mois précédant l’enquête chez les adolescents vivant au Canada était de 31,4 % (IC à 95 % : 29,4 % à 33,5 %). La plupart des blessures n’étaient pas intentionnelles. Quelques points de pourcentage seulement séparaient les estimations correspondant aux différentes provinces, à l’exception de la Saskatchewan, où la prévalence était nettement plus élevée pour l’ensemble des blessures et pour les blessures non intentionnelles. Le tabagisme et la consommation excessive d’alcool ont été significativement associés à une plus grande prévalence des blessures dans la plupart des provinces. Les autres corrélats présentaient des associations non significatives ou inconsistantes avec la prévalence des blessures.

Conclusion

D’après les données, les interventions de prévention des blessures visant à réduire la consommation d’alcool, en particulier la consommation excessive d’alcool, seraient efficaces pour réduire les blessures chez les adolescents au Canada. D’autres recherches seront nécessaires pour déterminer comment le contexte provincial (comme le soutien en santé mentale pour les adolescents ou les programmes et politiques visant à réduire la consommation de substances) a un effet sur les taux de blessures.

Published: May 2022

In recent years, communication using electromagnetic (EM) radiation became an integral part of our lives. As a result, there is a large number of base transceiver stations (BTSs) which act as a source of high EM exposure for inhabitants mainly in the “hot-spot” areas. They employ higher values of radiation, thus, providing potentially harmful effects on living or working environment. The aim of this pilot study was to study a distribution of hot-spots and EMF power in a vicinity of BTSs. BTS was located in an extra-village area at least 500 m away from the nearest city or surrounded villages in the district of Martin. The targeted area of EM radiation from the BTS was divided into two smaller zones, the right and the left. For a better visualization, topographic maps were created. Using spectral analyzer Aaronia Spectran HF-6085, intensities of EMF within the frequency range from 880 – 960 MHz (GSM900) were recorded. Maximum values of EMF power flux density were 146.827 μW/m2 in horizontal and 96.448 μW/m2 in vertical plane. Minimal va lues were 0.052 μW/m2 in horizontal and 0.179 μW/m2 vertical plane respectively. The maps revealed two hotspots in the left zone and also two (smaller and larger) hotspots in the right zone. Our values were below the actual limits given by the Slovak Republic and the International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) safety guidelines. However, the values from the hotspots were above the limits suggested by the BioInitiative Report. Our results indicate an elevation of EMF values in the hot-spots even in the extra-village areas. Further studies are needed to analyze in detail EMF parameters in the hot-spots, and their effects on living and working environments.
Lantana charcoal as potent carrier material for Azotobacter chroococcum
Authors: Mankar Mangesh Kumar , Sharma U.S. , Sahay Sanjay
Published: May 2022

Azotobacter chroococcum is a universally accepted plant growth-promoting rhizospheric bacterium, which, as a biofertilizer, helps to increase the nitrogen level, solubilize the unavailable form of phosphorus, ensure growth-promoting metabolites, and control pathogenic microbes in the soil. A good strain of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) needs to be produced, formulated, transported, stored, and distributed to the agriculture field. During all these operations, bacterial inoculants are transferred via a carrier material. One of the important challenges in biofertilizer technology is to ensure stability of the bacteria in the carrier. The study aimed to assess a novel carrier Lantana charcoal (LC; obtained from Lantana camara biomass), as compared to some currently available carriers. LC exhibited higher carbon content, low N2 content, neutral pH, and, above all, higher water-holding capacity, making it a suitable carrier material for A. chroococcum and possibly other PGPR. As a carrier, it showed no contamination during storage, exhibited the highest moisture content and moderate culture holding coefficient, and supported the highest colony-forming units per gram at the end of the storage period. Thus, LC cannot only serve as a better carrier, but its large-scale application would also ensure a reasonable use of this weed.
The Mortgaged Miracle Social Stratification in Contemporary Estonian Cinema
Authors: Hoyer Dirk
Published: May 2022

According to recent OECD statistics, Estonia is the European Union country with the highest income inequalities. Among all the ex-Warsaw bloc states, the Baltic country also has the highest household debt. Despite these dire socio-economic indicators, Estonia’s path to economic development, the adaptation of the purest forms of neoliberalism to be found in Europe, is often hailed among economists. Former prime minister Mart Laar, one of the key architects of what was dubbed by some the Estonian Economic Miracle, admitted that his guideline for the post-Soviet economic reform (and the only book he read on economics) was Milton Friedman’s Free to Choose.

How does inequality, social exclusion and growing social stratification manifest itself in Estonian contemporary cinema? The debut films of three directors, Vallo Toomla, Mihkel Ulk and Toomas Hussar, which all have a contemporary setting, address the neoliberal transformation process to various degrees. All three debut films are genre films: Mushrooming (Hussar, 2012) is a comedy, Zero Point (Ulk, 2014) a high-school drama and The Pretenders (Toomla, 2016) a thriller. None of the films directly addresses the social stratification of Estonian society. The films engage the subject with a low level of politicization, yet each of the films is a chronotope of the engagement of the film medium with society. Especially the question of individual responsibility to society, accountability for social exclusion and possible alternatives to neoliberalism are either addressed in an apprehensive way or, through their absence, deemed irrelevant. How did Friedman’s claim that economic freedom equals political freedom, that the market is the only effective tool and that self-interest is the only acceptable driving force in society affect the Estonian cinemascape? This article argues that the chronotope of contemporary cinema in the small Baltic country is an outopia, a no-place, in which alternatives to the status quo have no more reference points. The outopian outlook on society is manifested either by an absence in the belief of the integrity of politics and media (Mushrooming), by an implicit acceptance of social exclusion (Zero Point) or by the acknowledgement that faking material wealth is the only tool for maintaining social relationships (The Pretenders).
An Analysis of Concentration and Competition in the Banking Sector of the Republic of Serbia

The degree of the banking sector concentration is a structural variable and refers to the number of banks in the system and the degree of their market power. The importance of measuring concentration in the banking sector stems from the causal relationship between the market structure and the competitive behaviour of market participants. Traditional models measuring the banking sector competition proceed from the market structure and concentration measures. In contrast, modern approaches to measuring competition rely on non-structural models and analysis of the behaviour of market participants. The paper analyzes the degree of concentration and competition in the banking sector of the Republic of Serbia. The traditional and most frequently used indices, the concentration ratio and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, are used to measure concentration. The values of these indices show low banking sector concentration but a rise in the observed period. The values of the comprehensive industrial concentration index and the entropy coefficient confirm the concentration absence in the banking sector of the Republic of Serbia. In addition to the usual banking sector concentration measures, the authors use the Linda index to assess the banking sector concentration and competitiveness, to show the absence of an oligopolistic structure in terms of total balance sheet assets, lending and deposit activity of banks.
#MakeSwedenGreatAgain: Media events as politics in the deterritorialised nationalism debate
Authors: Robinson Jessica Yarin , Enli Gunn
Published: May 2022

Online networks have blurred the lines between national and global news, and have given users a more active role in how information flows. This opens up the opportunity for individuals to engage with foreign events in new ways, curating information and offering their own interpretations. In this article, we investigate how national elections are taken up in the global Twittersphere, using a set of 198,635 English-language tweets about the 2018 Swedish parliamentary election. Based on a network analysis and a content analysis of themes in the tweets, we demonstrate that national media events can become “deterritorialised” by globally networked publics. A second key finding is that the Swedish election is leveraged to discuss anti-globalist themes such as immigration and nationalism in, paradoxically, a global and deterritorialised context.
‘According to Right Law’: John Jewel’s Use of theIus Antiquain His Defense of the Elizabethan Church
Authors: Gazal André A.
Published: May 2022

In hisApology of the Church of Englandas well as many of his other works, John Jewel defended the orthodoxy of the Elizabethan Church on the basis of the following criteria: Scripture, the first four general councils, the writings of the Church Fathers, and the example of the primitive church.1By emphasizing these authorities, the bishop of Salisbury also sought to impeach the Roman Church’s claim to orthodoxy by arguing that doctrines and practices which developed subsequently to the early church as defined by these criteria contradict them, thereby nullifying its charge of heresy against Protestants while simultaneously indicting the papacy itself as heretical. A question that emerges from studying Jewel’s prodigious polemical works concerns the source of this means of determining orthodoxy. Answering this question requires a close analysis of the apologist’s use of sources. This article will attempt to answer this question by arguing that this criteria for defining orthodoxy derived mainly from canon law tradition that is confirmed specifically by Gratian’sDecretum. This thesis maintains that Jewel’s criteria constituted a form of theius antiquawith which he attacked theius novumthat provided the authoritative basis for papal supremacy, and in so doing, sought to vindicate the Elizabethan Church’s place in ancient catholic tradition.

Published: May 2022

Background: To evaluate the effects of nitroglycerin combined with continuous regional arterial infusion (CRAI) on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), triglyceride (TG), inflammatory factors and prognosis.

Methods: SAP patients were randomly divided into control and observation groups (n=169). The control group was treated with intravenous infusion of nitroglycerin once daily for 2 d, while the observation group was treated with nitroglycerin combined with CRAI for 7 d. Their hospitalization time, abdominal pain relief time, abdominal distension relief time and intestinal function recovery time were recorded. The levels of inflammatory factors, and TG were measured. Their liver and kidney functions, hemorheological indices, prognosis, and adverse reactions were evaluated.

Results: The observation group had significantly shorter hospitalization time, abdominal pain relief time, abdominal distension relief time, and intestinal function recovery time than those of the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, endothelin, thromboxane A2 and TG significantly decreased in contrast with those before treatment in both groups, especially in the observation group (P<0.05). The hemorheological indices were significantly improved after treatment compared with those before treatment in both groups, and the observation group had better indices (P<0.05). The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation-II score declined significantly in both groups after treatment, and the observation group had a more obvious decrease (P<0.05). During follow-up, similar incidence rates of adverse reactions were observed for both groups (P>0.05).

Conclusion: Nitroglycerin combined with CRAI is prominently effective for treating SAP, which can facilitate the health recovery and reduce the incidence of microcirculation disturbance-induced adverse events such as organ failure.
