Authors: Jiang Dan
Published: November 2021

Incidence and prevalence of infected Covid-19 are still rampant in the West and the most countries throughout world from 2020 to 2021. Although the incidence of infected Covid-19 in the developed countries has decreased down by the popular vaccination, it is still anxiety and worry to make more serious widespread from the variated coronavirus. It is a rigorous fact that there still are higher on the mortality to the seniors, special seniors who are resided at nursing homes. For seniors, the infected Coronavirus may product them a disastrous attack according to their pre-existing diseases, complication accompanied with Covid-19, and post-syndromes caused by Covid-19. Their Covid-19 may be more complex, more serious, harder to find a fast and effective therapies and easier to become to the post-syndromes which will make a bad influence to the quality of life in the rest of their life. TCM focuses to individual case, and pay attention more for their pre-existing diseases, complication with Covid-19, and possibility of post-syndrome’s production while some anti-coronavirus herbs are prescribed, so a more fixed prescription is made. In this clinical trial, the author classified 60 cases into two groups: over 45 years old as the observing group and under of 44 years old as the contrasted group, incidences on pre-existing diseases, complication and post-syndromes are observed separately; their results after treated by Chinese medical herbs are also observed. We recognize from these observation and analysis TCM treatment can significantly stabilized pre-existing diseases, treat complication together and prevent the post-syndromes’ occurrence while is treating to Coronavirus. TCM is a suitable treating choice to Senior with Covid-19.

The aim of the work is the flotation processing of gold-containing tailings using composite flotation (CF) agents. According to the results of chemical analysis, the studied tailings sample contains 0.39 g/t gold. The main part of the initial tailings sample is represented by rock-forming minerals such as quartz, clinochlore, microcline, tremolite, albite, calcite, and muscovite. According to the results of the rational analysis, 39.50% of gold is in the hard-to-recover form with quartz; 28.87% is in the form of fine-grained gold; 31.63% is in intergrowths with sulfides and rocks. The optimum reagent scheme of flotation processing of tailings was chosen: degree of regrinding of 95% of grade -0,074 mm, consumption of sodium butyl xanthate of 100 g/t, consumption of foaming agent T-92 of 30 g/t. Under the chosen reagent scheme the gold-containing concentrate containing 6,4 g/t gold at the recovery of 49,68% was obtained. Preliminary regrinding of tailings allows to increase the gold recovery in the blanks concentrates by 27.96%. The reagent scheme of flotation of gold-containing tailings with the application of composite flotation (CF) agent was tested. A composition of sodium butyl xanthate and reaeflot was used as a composite flotation reagent for the improvement of gold extraction from flotation tailings. Application of composite flotation (CF) agent pre-treated on the dispersant increases gold recovery into gold-containing concentrate by 4.65%, in comparison with the basic collector sodium butyl xanthogenate. Consumption of flotation agent CF is reduced by 20%.

As a result of separation of a fine fraction of gibbsite-kaolinite low-quality bauxite from the Krasnogorsky deposit, it is possible to increase its silicon module. When bauxite is chemically activated in a solution of sodium bicarbonate, the fine fraction is effectively separated from the large one and the phase composition changes – the calcium silicate phase disappears and the calcite phase is formed. With an increase in the activation temperature, the content of kaolinite and siderite decreases, the content of quartz and hematite increases. Studies have shown that at chemical activation temperatures of 120 oC, lasting more than 120 minutes and 200 oC, lasting more than 40 minutes, a dawsonite phase is formed in bauxite, which compacts the mineral structure. When determining the mode of chemical activation, it is necessary to take into account the negative possibility of the formation of dawsonite.

The article presents the study results for alkaline leaching of fine ilmenite concentrate dusts from electric smelting. The physical and chemical properties of the dusts were studied using chemical and instrumental analysis methods. The dust composition was determined, X-ray phase analysis showed that the dust sample substance is in the X-ray amorphous state, iron is present in the trivalent state, and silicon is bound to magnesium. The dust sample study using a scanning electron microscope showed that part of the titanium is bound in a hard-to-disclose anasovite encapsulated in amorphous silicon oxide. The leaching study of electric smelting dust with sodium hydroxide solutions included the study of the effect of sodium hydroxide concentration, process duration, temperature, S: L ratio. The optimal conditions for dust leaching from electric smelting of ilmenite concentrate have been established: temperature 80-90 °C, duration 90-120 min, ratio S: L = 1: 5, the concentration of sodium hydroxide solution 110-115 g/dm3. The silicon extraction degree into the solution under these conditions was 77.7%. The behavior of accompanying components of chromium, zinc, iron, and manganese during dust leaching was also studied. X-ray phase analysis of the cake after leaching shows almost complete amorphization of the leached product, the main phase is a solid solution of Fe2O3·TiO2.

Electroencephalography-Neurofeedbacktraining (E-NFT) is a method to support subjects in learning to self-regulate their own brain activity. Besides that E-NFT may improve cognitive functions in healthy people, it may improve symptoms in different disorders, such as Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and insomnia. The evidence of E-NFT for the treatment of attention problems in ADHD is still under debate just as the suggested efficacy of E-NFT for reducing sleep problems in individuals suffering from insomnia and for improving attention and sleep in the general population. Therefore, this review examines the efficacy of E-NFT on attention and sleep in patients and healthy individuals. The reviewed literature provides evidence that standard E-NFT protocols may have a positive long-lasting effect on the inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms in children with ADHD. In healthy children and young adults, E-NFT has been found to improve different aspects of attention and to reduce impulsivity. In addition, positive effects of E-NFT have been documented on sleep onset latency and on tiredness in healthy individuals. Sleep improvements have also been found in insomnia patients after standard E-NFT, although these subjective sleep improvements may likely depend on unspecific E-NFT training effects.

Authors: Quoc Tran Huu , Tu Tran Minh , Tham Vu Van
Published: November 2021

This paper deals with the free vibration and dynamic responses of composite sandwich plates. The sandwich plate has three layers in which two face sheets are made of isotropic material, and the core layer is made of auxetic honeycomb structures with a negative Poisson's ratio.  A smoothed finite element model based on the first-order shear deformation theory is established for the analysis purpose. In the model, only the linear approximation is necessary, and the discrete shear gap method for triangular plate elements is used to avoid the shear locking. The Newmark direct integration technique is used to capture the dynamic responses of the sandwich plates. The convergence study is made, and the accuracy of present results is validated by comparison with available data in the literature. The influence of geometrical parameters, material properties, and boundary conditions are explored and discussed. Numerical results show that auxetic materials have several different responses compared to conventional materials, and these behaviors are strongly influenced by the internal structure of the auxetic material.

On Valery Podoroga’s Analytical Anthropology of the Landscape
Authors: Podoroga Boris
Published: November 2021

In present article the concept of landscape is considered to be one of the key concepts of analytical anthropology which is Valeria Podoroga’s complex investigation program of art, literature and philosophy. Notion of landscape defines analytical strategy chosen by the Russian philosopher for study on west European philosophy of the XIX–XX centuries. The landscape is considered as a complex spatial notion which possesses geographic, sensual, cultural, historical, and topological dimensions. Emphasis is placed on the topological-communicative function of the landscape, which provides a form of expression for philosophical ideas. This function is described by examples from the texts of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Heidegger which are the objects of Podoroga’s analysis. In conclusion landscape is considered as a universal “neutral space” which makes possible to transmit a unique poetic-philosophical experience to the reader and discussed abilities using analytical anthropology for the study of new material.
"Continuous Creation": two Perspectives in the Cartesian Нhorizon
Authors: Dobrohotov Alexander
Published: November 2021

The article argues that V. Podoroga and M. Mamardashvili's understanding of the concept of “continuous creation” is noticeably different in a number of aspects. Descartes breathed new life into the old idea of creatio continua, which thus fell into the Modern times arsenal of ideas; Mamardashvili and Podoroga, in turn, gave it today's reading, in which there are both areas of intersection and characteristic differences. V. Podoroga questions the Cartesian connection between freedom and duration in Mamardashvili's version. In the interpretation of Cartesian freedom, he believes, Mamardashvili follows Sartre: in this case, man takes on the function of God and becomes a necessary condition for his own existence. However, an analysis of classical texts shows that Mamardashvili's interpretation is quite correct: Descartes (and Mamardashvili) proceed from the discreteness of the moments in time, which require special efforts to assemble. The effort of God maintains the existence of the world; the effort of the cogito maintains the being of thought. Mamardashvili draws attention, as Descartes advises, precisely to the causes of being (secundum esse) and to the intuition of discreteness of moments of time, which is important for Descartes. It is also clear that the one who performs the act of cogito does not at all assume the function of God: on the contrary, he discovers in himself dependence on the higher being, which gives the power of creation. The roll-overs and dissonances of these interpretations show that Podoroga's thesis about the absence of "new" in Mamardashvili's ideas, replaced by the creative energy of his "Voice" in the act of thought, needs correction and clarification. It can be said that the transfer of a number of functions from the Logos to the Voice, carried out by V. Podoroga, led to a certain preponderance of corporality in understanding the peculiar method of Mamardashvili. But still, this does not depreciate the significance of the deciphering of the phenomenon of Mamardashvili, which is unique in its versatility, undertaken by him.

Published: November 2021

With the development of multimedia technology, the rapid increasing usage of large image database becomes possible. To carry out its management and retrieval, Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is an effective method. It will be very difficult to manage this database of images stored at the remote servers. The right tool will be required which can process these images for different operations. These operations include searching etc. It will be difficult to classify the images into groups and then search each class for providing the image as the information against the user request query. The content based image retrieval is the most suitable way to identify the image from the large repository. It will search the image from the large set of images based on contents rather than the image name. It will be having less time to search the image from the large repository when the image is retrieved using content based. In the current research the hybrid approach for content based image retrieval is performed. This proposed procedure will be in the first step perform the classification of the image into multiple classes. The classes are prepared based on the attributes values.
Implementation of Visual Sentiment Analysis on Flickr Images
Authors: Bhoir Harshala , Jayamalini Dr. K.
Published: November 2021

Visual sentiment analysis is the way to automatically recognize positive and negative emotions from images, videos, graphics and stickers. To estimate the polarity of the sentiment evoked by images in terms of positive or negative sentiment, most of the state of the art works exploit the text associated with a social post provided by the user. However, such textual data is typically noisy due to the subjectivity of the user, which usually includes text useful to maximize the diffusion of the social post. This System will extract three views: visual view, subjective text view and objective text view of Flickr images and will give sentiment polarity positive, negative or neutral based on the hypothesis table. Subjective text view gives sentiment polarity using VADER (Valence Aware Dictionary and sEntiment Reasoner) and objective text view gives sentiment polarity with three convolution neural network models. This system implements VGG-16, Inception-V3 and ResNet-50 convolution neural networks with pre pre-trained ImageNet dataset. The text extracted through these three convolution networks is given to VADER as input to find sentiment polarity. This system implements visual view using a bag of visual word model with BRISK (Binary Robust Invariant Scalable Key points) descriptor. System has a training dataset of 30000 positive, negative and neutral images. All the three views’ sentiment polarity is compared. The final sentiment polarity is calculated as positive if two or more views gives positive sentiment polarity, as negative if two or more views gives negative sentiment polarity and as neutral if two or more views gives neutral sentiment polarity.

Published: November 2021

Background : S. aureus is frequently associated with skin infections, pneumonia, surgery wounds, bacteraemia, osteomyelitis and endocarditis, being considered one of the most important pathogens of the human being, both at the community level and at nosocomial infections, and may become serious if caused by antimicrobial resistant strains, especially methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains, which are resistant to most of the antimicrobial agents, methicillin-sensitive S.aureus (MSSA) and isolates with reduced susceptibility and resistance to vancomycin, which is the last drug for the treatment of MRSA infections. So, this study aimed to detect the existence of inducible resistance of S. aureus to Clindamycin in Khartoum-Sudan among patients attended to Suba University Hospital.
Methods : The study was performed as cross-sectional one, 53 clinical isolates of S. aureus obtained from (34 females and 19 males) with different clinical condition among patients attended to Suba University Hospital in Khartoum-Sudan from April to August 2017. To detect inducible clindamycin resistant by using D test. In addition to that MRSA / MSSA all the isolates screened for methicillin resistant by using 1 µg oxacillin then examined for inducible clindamycin resistant by D test. In addition to that examine for antimicrobial susceptibility profile which include vancomycin, gentamycin, tetracycline and co-trimoxazole. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science, version 22, P. value <0.05 was considered statistically significant
Results : out of 53 isolates, 36 S. aureus isolated resistant to Clindamycin, 26 (72.2%) were MRSA and 10 (27.8%) were MSSA by means of D test, while 17 (32.1%) of isolates were sensitive 9 (53%) MRSA and 8 (47 %) MSSA. Comparing Induced clindamycin resistance showed equally distribution among MSSA and MRSA isolates, giving no significant difference as P- value 0.167.
Conclusion : This study showed that D.test to detect inducible clundamycin resistance in staphylococcus aureus.

Background and Aim : Toxoplasmosis is one of the most common comorbidities in HIV-positive patients with CD4+ T lymphocytes below 200 cells/μl. Toxoplasmosis with encephalitis may affect HIV infection, in particular in patients with developing AIDS. Early diagnosis and treatment of toxoplasmosis reduces the mortality rate in HIV-positive people. The aim of this study was to estimate the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in HIV-positive patients in Khartoum, Sudan using serological and molecular methods.
Methods : This was a descriptive cross sectional, hospital based study, blood sample were collected from 100 participants; out of them were 50 HIV/AIDS patients and 50 were healthy Blood donors attending HIV Center -Omdurman Hospital, and Sudan Heart Center blood bank respectively. Socio- demographic data were collected by structured questionnaire. Of the 50 HIV/AIDS patients, 25 (50%) were from each gender, their age ranged between 22 and 62 with mean of 39.5+10.69. They were classified into two age groups; from 22 to 42 years, and from 43 to 62 years, and their distribution was 29 (58%), and 21 (42%) respectively. According to the clinical stage they were classified into the four clinical-stage groups and their distribution was as following: 06 (12.0%) in stage 1, 02 (04%) in stage 2, 40 (80.0%) in stage 3, and 02 (04.0%) in stage 4. Twelve of them (22%) were under ART treatments. The 50 blood donors on their hand were all males, their age was ranged between 18 and 42 years old. Regarding their educatio, 15 (30%) were educated, while the remaining 35 (70%) were none educated. Mentioning their marital status 10 (20%) were married, while 40 (80%) were single. Regarding the contact with cats 25 (50%) has contact with cats.
All samples collected were tested for anti-Toxoplasma IgG and IgM antibodies by ELISA, and by PCR for detection of Toxoplasma DNA..
Results: Out of the 50 HIV/AIDS patients; Anti-Toxoplasma IgM was detected in two patients (04%), while IgG was detected in 08 (16%) patients, the Toxoplasma DNA was detected in three (06%) patients.Regarding the blood donors group; all studied blood donors showed negative results for anti-toxoplasma IgM, while 16 (32%) showed positive anti-Toxoplasma IgG.No blood donors sample was detected positive for Toxoplasma DNA with PCR. There were no significant differences in comparison between the blood donors and the HIV/AIDS patients regarding serological and molecular toxoplasma test results.
Conclusion : The current study showed a relatively high seroprevalance of anti-T.gondii IgG and low IgM antibodies in HIV-positive patients in comparison with previous studies in Sudan. Considering the relatively high seroprevalance rate of toxoplasma infection in blood donors reported in this study, toxoplasmosis should be considered as a significant transfusion risk.
