Hepatitis B induced fulminant liver failure: A call for prevention
Authors: Singh Bhupinder
Published: August 2023

Acute fulminant hepatic failure is a condition in which a healthy liver deteriorates rapidly following an insult, resulting in the impairment of its synthetic functions. This condition is rare and is associated with high fatality rates. We report the case of a 19-year-old male who was brought to the emergency room in an unconscious state with jaundice and persistent fever for 2–3 weeks after recently commencing intravenous use of morphine. He was found to be hepatitis B surface antigen reactive, and his laboratory tests indicated severe liver dysfunction with elevated levels of serum bilirubin, aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, and International normalized ratio. The patient was diagnosed with fulminant liver failure with coagulopathy and hepatic encephalopathy. The patient’s family was addressed and counseled regarding the urgent need for liver transplantation. However, due to a lack of funds and insurance, supportive treatment was the only option left. Despite all supportive measures, the patient expired within 48 h. This case highlights the importance of various socioeconomic issues involved with liver transplantation, as in a resource-limited setting, urgent transplantation seems nearly impossible. In addition, this case report raises certain ethical issues that need consideration, particularly in an injection drug use scenario. It also highlights the importance of addressing the rising issue of injection drug use among youth, particularly in the regions of Punjab.
ÉLIE STEPHENSON

Published: July 2023

Para Élie Stephenson, seu teatro é “uma arma política”, posição que aparece em peças do anos 1970 como O Mayouri, Un rien de pays e La route. A afirmação deve ser pensada em diálogo com o que o autor escreve em Un rien de pays ao declarar que esta obra não corresponderia a divisão entre drama, tragédia e comédia. Para ele, ela seria uma situação, numa clara aproximação com reflexões de Sartre. Expandindo essa relação para o conjunto das obras mencionadas, este artigo visa investigar os modos como tal conceito é apropriado por Stephenson na elaboração de seu teatro. Para tanto, é preciso refletir sobre sua visão acerca do território guianense e seu povo, constituída a partir de dentro com o intuito de transformá-los em campo de combate contra a administração francesa.Palavras-chave: Guiana, literatura dramática, colonialismo

ABSTRAK Ekosistem mangrove memiliki fungsi ekologis yang sangat bermanfaat bagi organisme-organisme di lingkungan pesisir termasuk manusia. Dengan sistem perakaran dan kanopi yang rapat serta kokoh, vegetasi mangrove juga berfungsi sebagai pelindung daratan dari aksi gelombang, tsunami, angin topan, dan perembesan air laut. Selain itu, mangrove juga berfungsi sebagai penyedia unsur hara, ekosistemnya merupakan tempat pemijahan (spawning grounds), tempat pengasuhan (nursery grounds) dan tempat mencari makan (feeding grounds) berbagai jenis ikan, udang, dan biota laut lainnya. Permasalahan yang dihadapi masyarakat Desa Labetawi adalah kurangnya informasi dan pengetahuan tentang arti pentingnya ekosistem mangrove bagi sumberdaya perikanan dan kelautan. Penyebab utama kerusakan hutan mangrove di  adalah karena tindakan manusia, berupa alih fungsi lahan menjadi tempat pemukiman masyarakat dan penebangan liar. Hutan mangrove ini dapat melindungi terumbu karang, padang lamun dari gempuran sendimentasi daratan, mengurangi erosi di daerah pesisir dan melindungi pantai dari dampak gelombang, angin dan ombak. Pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat yang berfokus dalam rehabilitasi mangrove ini diharapkan mampu memberikan kontribusi dalam melestarikan lingkungan di Desa Lebetawi Kota Tual serta memupuk kesadaran masyarakat akan pentingnya menjaga ekosistem mangrove. Kata Kunci: Mangrove, Pesisir  ABSTRACT Mangrove ecosystems have ecological functions that are very beneficial for organisms in the coastal environment, including humans. With a dense and sturdy root system and canopy, mangrove vegetation also functions as a land protector from wave action, tsunamis, hurricanes and seawater seepage. In addition, mangroves also function as nutrient providers, their ecosystems are spawning grounds, nursery grounds and feeding grounds for various types of fish, shrimp and other marine biota. The problem faced by the people of Labetawi Village is the lack of information and knowledge about the importance of mangrove ecosystems for fisheries and marine resources. The main cause of damage to mangrove forests in Indonesia is due to human actions, in the form of land conversion into community settlements and illegal logging. These mangrove forests can protect coral reefs, seagrass beds from the onslaught of land sedimentation, reduce erosion in coastal areas and protect beaches from the effects of waves, wind and waves. The implementation of community service activities that focus on mangrove rehabilitation is expected to be able to contribute to environmental restoration in Lebetawi Village, Tual City and increase public awareness of the importance of protecting mangrove ecosystems. Keywords: Mangroves, Coastal

Authors: Tsmots Ivan , Ihnatiev Ihor , Ivasiev Stepan
Published: August 2023

Is a paper that proposes a new method for computing sum-of-squares differences in a parallel vertical environment. The method is based on a group approach, which allows you to divide the task into several subtasks and calculate them in parallel. The article considers the problem of calculating the sum of squared differences between elements of large data arrays. Applying traditional methods of calculating such sums in parallel environments can be inefficient due to the exchange of large amounts of data between nodes. The proposed method allows to reduce the amount of transmitted data and increase the efficiency of calculations. The article proposes a new method for calculating the sum of squared differences, which allows to increase the efficiency of calculations in a parallel vertical environment. Testing of the method on different data sets shows its high efficiency compared to traditional methods of calculating sums of squared differences in parallel environments. The proposed method can be applied in various areas that require the processing of large volumes of data, and allows to increase the efficiency of calculations and reduce their execution time. The methods, algorithms and structures of devices for computing the sum of squared differences have been analyzed and their defects have been defined in the article. It has been defined that the device for computing the sum of squared differences should support the next: high device utilization; the use of capabilities and benefits of VLSI; short-term development and moderate price. The development of the device has been suggested by computing the sum of squared differences using modularity principles, coordination between data flow and computing capability of the device, pipelining and space parallelism, localization and simplification of links with elements. The proposed method can be useful for researchers in the fields of parallel computing and data processing, and can find applications in various fields such as data science, machine learning, image processing, and bioinformatics.
Analysis of two-section phase-controlled resonant voltage converter
Authors: Lupenko Anatolii , Movchan Leonid , Sysak Ivan , Babiuk Serhi
Published: August 2023

Analysis of two-section resonant DC-to-DC converter with phase power control is carried out in this paper. Two-section converter is considered as a boundary case of the multi-section converter with only one controlled section and other uncontrolled sections. The converter sections are parallel resonant half-bridge voltage inverters with a common resonant capacitor connected to the load through a matching transformer, center-tapped rectifier and smoothing filter. One of the sections is the reference, relative to which the phase shift of the output pulses of the other section is adjusted. The switching frequency of the converter is constant, which improves its electromagnetic compatibility. Analysis is carried out by the fundamental harmonic approximation method. Analytical expressions for voltage and current phasors in both sections of the converters have been established. The dependence of the converter power on the phase shift between the pulses of the half-bridge inverter sections was obtained. The dependence of the efficiency of the converter on the power was analyzed. It is shown that the efficiency slightly decreases when the power is reduced in a wide range of powers and only at powers less than 10% of full load power it drops sharply. The problems of operation of section transistor switches in their zero-voltage switching mode is considered. Verification of the conducted analysis was carried out by simulation of the converter circuit using the PSIM program for modeling power electronics devices. The simulation results are in a good agreement with the analysis results.
THE INNER FORM OF LODGING ESTABLISHMENT NAMES OF LVIV, KRAKOW, AND VIENNA IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY: DERIVATION AND CLONING
Authors:   O.Potebnia Institute of linguistics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, YERMOLENKO Serhii
Published: August 2023

The paper is a study in the field of comparative European socio-cultural onomastics. Following the previously elaborated and tested tenets, it centres upon the lodging establishment names of Lviv, Krakow, and Vienna at the beginning of the 20th c., also including the relevant data of the Varsovian onomasticon of the period. The former cities then belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire; at the same time, they were part of several different and and historically variable linguistic-cultural areals and systems. In particular, the author regards their hotel signage as part of the common European inventory of disembodied proper names, realized by its regional varieties. It is the author’s contention that genetically, the inner form of researched hotel names is of double nature, relating to what he terms their ultimate underlying item, on one hand, and on the other, and coincidentally, to more or less general stocks of European and national ‘ready-made’ hotel names, which he considers as emerging by means of cloning from precedent and prototypal items. As a result, a name can be of both deappellative and deonomastic origin. The categorial parameters of derivation employed in the study include, basically, proper / common underlying name distinction, and within the former, various subtypes of toponyms, such as names of cities, countries, regions, large geographical entities, anthropogenic and physiogenic chrematonyms, and names of city features immediately associated with a hotel, and also culturally marked anthoponyms. Cross-cutting these are features of national appurtenance, determining the general geopolitical orientation of a specific city hotel naming, such as the Polish one with Krakow, Lviv, and Warsaw (with the latter, also the German, although to a lesser degree) and the Austro-Hungarian as well as Anglo-Saxon with Vienna. With deappellative names, relevant is the evaluative vs. descriptive distinction, the latter variant specified as coinages from the venue’s locality or its emblem

An Iterative Based Motion Correction for SPECT with Simulated Data
Authors: Hossain Md Nahid , Quadir Kamila Afroj , Kiber Adnan , Fulton Roger
Published: July 2023

Purpose: Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is one of the important imaging modality in nuclear medicine used for diagnostic imaging of different organs of human body. Patient movement during the acquisition time is a well-known cause of artifacts in reconstructed SPECT data. These motion artifacts may significantly affect the diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, the motion correction of patients in tomography images is very much essential for more accurate diagnosis and hence achieves the quality of the images.
Objective: The aim of this project is to develop and evaluate a data driven approach to motion correction without necessity for motion tracking system.
Methods: It has been proposed a method to iteratively estimate and compensate this motion during the reconstruction. The rigid motion was estimated view-by-view in every iteration and then used to update the system matrix. The initial reconstructed image is motion contaminated; it can be used to generate a first rough motion estimate. This motion is taken into account in a reconstruction process to generate a motion-corrected image at the first iteration. Then the motion-corrected image and the motion estimate are alternately updated to increase the likelihood, the iterations are stopped when the updated motion seems to have converged. The image update is done by applying multiple iterations of the OSEM algorithm. A final iterative reconstruction was performed with the last motion estimate.
Results: The method was evaluated on simulations phantom study. From the simulations phantom data, we produced the several simulated motion induced data. Motion correction algorithms were applied with the simulated motion induced data. The quality of the reconstructed images was improved substantially after the compensation. Mean structural similarity was increased. In the simulation studies, most of the motion blurring in the reconstructed images disappeared after the compensation.
Conclusions: The proposed method effectively eliminated motion-induced artifacts in SPECT scans. Since only measured raw data are needed for the motion estimation and compensation, the proposed method can be applied retrospectively to SPECT scans affected by motion.

Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) is a rare, lifelong, benign condition with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. FHH is clinically distinguished by mild to moderate PTH-dependent hypercalcemia and normal to significantly reduced urinary calcium excretion despite elevated serum calcium. FHH is usually caused by a heterozygous loss-of-function mutation in the calcium-sensing receptor gene (CASR). It should be differentiated from primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). The reported case of a 10-year-old girl presented with symptomatic hypercalcemia, elevated intact parathyroid hormone, and a vitamin D deficiency. 99mTc-Sestamibi scan failed to detect any abnormalities, but high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) of the neck revealed a right inferior parathyroid adenoma, which was excised with a focused parathyroidectomy. Although the patient’s calcium and iPTH levels normalized initially, they started rising within a few days.

EFFECTIVENESS OF IMPLEMENTING DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION IN THE ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES CLASSROOM IN HONG KONG
Authors: Wong Allison , YH Chan Thomas
Published: August 2023

The academic benefits of differentiated instruction are supported in western culture, although to date the majority of research conducted has concentrated in the Middle East and in Greece, and in primary and secondary instruction. Despite its relative novelty in Hong Kong, and the fact that it is under-researched regarding its effectiveness, a pilot study has been conducted at a tertiary institution in Hong Kong to explore implementing differentiated instruction in the ESL/EFL/ESP Classroom for learners from different educational backgrounds. To examine and determine its effectiveness, all Year 2 Nursing and Social Work students (N = 319) were included in the research study, and the students’ English skills were assessed by classifying them by a screening test into 3 ability groups, for each of whom three tiered tasks were assigned for completion at three different points of the semester. At the end of the semester, the findings were analysed with t-tests and a post-course student survey to determine the change in comprehension skills, learning motivation, classwork preferences, and study approaches. The relationship between each factor and English skill was assessed using correlation coefficients. The study has demonstrated that adopting the differentiated instruction approach in English and communication courses enhances students’ English ability in tertiary education in Hong Kong. In particular, substantial improvement is observed in both “lower ability” students and “mid-level ability” students, notably in grammar, syntax and inference-making skills, while the student survey responses reveal students’ learning preferences, as well as their cognitive and psychological elements to warrant further research.

This study aims to analyze the science process skills of biology teacher candidates in vertebrate zoology courses. The research method used is descriptive quantitative through survey techniques. This research was conducted at the PGRI Ronggolawe University and involved 21 participants. This study uses an instrument in the form of an observation sheet to measure scientific process skills. The SPS indicators that are measured are the skills of observing, measuring, compiling tables, and obtaining and processing data. The data obtained is then interpreted into very high, high, low, and very low categories. The percentage of students in each category is then calculated as a map of their science process skills through analysis of quantitative descriptive data. The results showed that 65.5% of prospective biology teachers had SPS scores that were in the very high, high, low, and very low categories. 7.5% has an SPS value which is included in the very low category. In general, biology teacher candidates tend to have very high levels of competency in performing science process skills.
