Study on the Etiology of the Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH) Among the Hospital Admitted Patient
Authors: Rashed Dr. Md. Rakibul Hasan
Published: February 2022

Background: The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) is a clinical illness that increases antidiuretic hormone (ADH) production or activity due to different disease processes. Normal release of ADH, or arginine vasopressin (AVP), occurs in the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. SIADH, a hemodynamic disturbance, does not cause secretion of ADH. It is mediated through no osmotic receptors, resulting in water retention and dilutional hyponatremia. Materials methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study carried out by the Department of Medicine, Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Hospital, Bogura. Total 100 consecutive patients had hyponatremia due to SIADH. All patients were interviewed using standardized questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS) for windows version 16. Results: Most of the patients (42%) in the study were older people >60 years. The average age was 60.69 years. The male-female ratio was 1.43.1. The symptoms of hyponatremia were fever (32%), headache (34%), weakness (40%). confusion (48%), convulsion (19%) and coma (52%). Of them, 34% were hypertensive, and 51% of patients had a Glasgow coma scale of 3/15. It was observed that the most common etiology of SIADH was hemorrhagic stroke (46%) then ischemic (41%). Among the hemorrhagic strokes, 40% were intracerebral, 4% were subarachnoid hemorrhage, and 2% were brain stem hemorrhage. Another etiology was meningitis (4%). Encephalitis (4%). Pneumonia (3%) and pulmonary tuberculosis (2%). Serum Na+ <120 mmol/L was seen in 38% patients. Total plasma osmolality was 260.40±8.51 (mmol/Kg), urinary Na+ was 13465±55.81 mmol/L, urinary osmolality was 408.05±157.02 mmol/L. S. creatinine was 1.06±1.02 m/dl, and S. uric acid was 3.35±0.75 mg/dl. Conclusions: The most common symptoms were Coma, confusion, weakness, headache, fever, and convulsion by hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke. Meningitis, encephalitis, pneumonia, and pulmon

Published: February 2022

Every society has to consist of people who show common behaviors and also engage in very different activities in order to preserve their existence. Successful individuals of the future will be individuals who can access information, use technology to reach information, solve problems and learn by themselves. Information societies now need individuals with lifelong learning skills. Being literate after the twenty-first century requires more than just knowing how to read, write, or basic mathematical knowledge. The existence of writing as a communication tool is a very important development. Every individual who grows up in the information age should have the basic skill of learning to learn, that is, the ability to access, evaluate and use rapidly changing information from various sources. Literacy skill is one of the skills that can enable individuals and those with special needs to participate actively in social life and increase their quality of life. As a result, schools today need to reconsider the needs of students and the age, and to organize learning environments in accordance with the conditions and expectations of the age. It is not always easy to protect after literacy is achieved in the society.

Authors: Engka Joice Nancy Ansje , Polii Hedison , Marunduh Sylvia Ritta
Published: February 2022

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the elderly is a population group aged 60 years or more. In 2010 the number of elderly people was recorded at 18.1 million people or 17.6%. In 2014 the number increased to 18.8 million people. The number in Indonesia is estimated to reach 28.8 million people or 11.34 percent of the total population in 2020. Data from Indonesia Basic Health Research 2018 showed that most of the elderly in Indonesia have degenerative diseases such as diabetes and heart disease [1]. In the 21st century, a special challenge in the health sector is the increasing number of elderly with degenerative problems and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, hypertension, and mental health disorders (depression, dementia, anxiety disorders, and sleeping disorder). These diseases will cause serious problems if they are not addressed or if prevention is not carried out. This condition causes the elderly to be vulnerable to serious complications. Hemoglobin (Hb) is an iron-rich protein in red blood cells whose function is to carry oxygen throughout the body. This protein also functions to give blood its red color. In order to function properly, the hemoglobin level in the blood must be within the normal range. Oxygen saturation is the fraction of hemoglobin oxygen saturation relative to the total hemoglobin in the blood. The human body requires and regulates a very precise and specific balance of oxygen in the blood. The normal arterial blood oxygen saturation level in humans is 95-100%. Objective: The objective is to determine the relationship between oxygen saturation and Hemoglobin levels in the Elderly.

Authors: Dahlawi Haytham
Published: February 2022

Malvidin is one of 6 most common anthocyanidins found in fruits and vegtables. studies suggest that anthocyanidins are bioactive chemicals have potential for treatment of cancer. Malvidin have been demonstrated to induce apoptosis and inhibition of cell proliferation in a number of cancer cell lines. However, to date, few studies have tested the potential of malvidin in the treatment of leukemia. In the present study, we investigated the antiproliferative and proapoptotic properties of malvidin in two human leukemia cell lines lymphoid cell line: SUP-B15 (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) and myeloid cell line: KG-1a (acute myelogenous leukemia) in addition to non-tumour control cells (CD133+ HSC). We found that treatment of cells with malvidin at concentration 0, 25, 50 and 100 µM for 24 h resulted in significant inhibition of cell proliferation in both leukemia cell lines with obvious less cytotoxic effect on non-tumour control cells. In addition, malvidin induce apoptosis in a dose and dependent manner in both leukemia cells and confirmed that by activation of caspas-3 following 24 h treatment. Cell arrest at S phase has been indicated in both cell lines using DNA analysis by flow cytometry. These finding indicated that malvidin could inhibit leukemic cell proliferation and induce their apoptosis and might be used as one kind of functional food component or a novel nutraceutical beneficial for blood health.

Restoration and rehabilitation of irrigation tanks is gaining much attention due to the increased temporal variation in the rainfall. This study was carried out in the first four tanks (i.e. Arungunam, Devadur, Mariputhur and Kavadur tanks) of the Madurantakam tank cluster, which lies in the Kiliyar sub basin, Palar basin, Tamil Nadu, India. The study was aimed at assessing the performance of the tanks and deriving a Tank Rehabilitation Index (TRI) for prioritizing the tanks based on 24 indicators reflecting the physical, hydrological and socio technical aspects. The physical performance of the tanks was measured in terms of their storage capacity. Capacity estimation was carried out using Bathymetry survey and Google earth. The results showed that the Kavadur tank performed well with 89.29% storage capacity when compared with the Arungunam, Devadur and Mariputhur tanks having 75%, 57.42% and 42.11% as their storage capacities respectively. A score-based method was adopted in finding out the TRI. It was found that the Kavadur tank tops the priority for rehabilitation with a score of 14.50 followed by the Arungunam and Devadur tank with a score of 14.25. The Mariputhur tank scored the least (13.75). Much variation in the TRI developed could be obtained, if the tanks were selected randomly over different reaches of the cluster.
An Immunohistochemical Study on Expression of Laminin5 Gamma2 Chain and Alpha Smooth Muscle actin in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Authors: Gupta Dr. Kavita
Published: February 2022

Background and objectives: Head and neck carcinomas are the biological heterogeneous group of cancers, of which oral cancer is the most common. Ninety percent of oral cancers are squamous cell carcinomas originating from the mucosal epithelium carcinogenesis. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. The transformation of the normal epithelial cell into a tumor cell depends upon certain changes that happen at the cellular and molecular level which will help in its survival and proliferation. The basement membrane will show invasion by these altered tumor cells into the connective tissue stroma and then their subsequent spread and metastasis, which is an important prognostic indicator. Laminin-5 is a protein which is found to be associated with a migratory phenotype in epithelial neoplastic cells and also the stromal myofibroblasts play a key role in tumor invasion, due to its ability to modify the extracellular matrix. Aim: Laminin-5 (Ln-5) is the major component of the basement membrane and is involved for tumour progression. Alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) is an isoform of actin, positive in myofibroblasts and is an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) marker. EMT is a process by which tumor cells develop and are able to metastasize. Tumor cells progression is always followed by alteration in the cell composition and extracellular matrix .Therefore the aim of this study is to detect and evaluate the expression of laminin5 gamma2 and α-SMA in OSCC and to evaluate the association of density of stromal myofibroblasts with tumour budding intensity. Materials and methods: Thirty paraffin embedded tissue blocks of clinically diagnosed and histopathologically confirmed cases of OSCC were evaluated .In this we have divided them into10 well differentiated OSCC,10 moderately differentiated OSCC and 10 poorly differentiated OSCC for laminin-5 and α- smooth muscle actin (SMA) using standard immunohistochemistry technique. ....

Published: February 2022

Humid air as a source of water can be utilized by using a condensation system called the Atmospheric Water Maker (AWM) in order to overcome the problem of limited drinking water supply. However, to maintain water quality and production capacity, the AWM requires an air filtration system with minimum flow resistance. In this work, an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) was used as an air filter for AWM application. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the performance of ESP in terms of particle collection efficiency and water quality produced by AWM. In order to evaluate the performance of ESP, wire to cylinder type ESP was designed and three experimental activities were performed i.e., smoke filtration test, dust filtration experiment, and AWM water quality assessment. The performance of ESP was studied at various voltages ranging from 5.8 kV to 9.7 kV and two wire mesh sizes. The results showed soot particles were successfully removed by the ESP for all applied voltages with both 1 mm and 4 mm wire mesh. The effect of ESP voltage could be observed in dust filtration experiments in which the particle collection efficiency increases with the increase of voltage. The highest particle collection efficiency was observed at a voltage of 9.7 kV with a wire mesh of 1 mm. The results also showed that the use of ESP for AWM application offered a positive effect on the quality of condensed water in which the water physical and chemical properties satisfy the WHO standard for drinking water.

Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicles (FW-MAVs) are small hand-held flying vehicles that can manoeuvre in constrained space owing to their lightweight, low aspect ratio and can fly in a low Reynolds number environment. Among all wing types, flapping wings have the most potential in fulfilling this flight requirement since it offers good agility in confined spaces. However, the design problem for the flapping wings lies in lift generation and figuring out the main factors that play the biggest role in generating lift. In the present work, the effects of design parameters such as camber, velocity and frequency of the flapping wing have been investigated using the response surface methodology (RSM). The standard quadratic model of RSM called Central Composite Design (CCD) was utilized to identify and optimize the flapping wing. The experimental results were found to be in good agreement with the predicted outcomes. Out of 20 experimental trials determined by CCD, the optimum camber, velocity, and frequency were found to be 15%, 4.29 m/s and 9 Hz respectively. The experimental results in this study are reasonable and accurate and can be used for describing the aerodynamic parameters. This study also established the usefulness of RSM in optimizing the aerodynamic properties for flapping wing mechanism.

A child respirator that is suitable for children's growth and development has been developed. Its designing process was done by computer-aided design and validated by computational fluid dynamics simulation. The device consists of inhale and exhale system, face cover, and headband. Various air filter is embedded in the inhale system, such as prefilter, HEPA filter, and bamboo-based activated carbon filter. Meanwhile, the exhale system contains HEPA filter only. Preliminary air-flow simulation in various breathing scenarios has been conducted with a result of velocity range from 0.067 up to 1.190 inside the respirator with a 0.47 Pa pressure difference. Flow trajectories analysis shows that the exhaled air is successfully directed to the exhale and inhale system and thus filtration can occur rapidly. These analyses also indicate that the device's average airflow velocity meets the standard requirements for child breathing apparatus. Child respirators using the bamboo-based activated carbon filter can be a great solution in implementing health protocols for children during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Critical Spirits: New Animism As Historical Materialism
Authors: Durrant Sam
Published: February 2022

This essay reads the so-called 'new animism' alongside the historical materialism of Benjamin, Horkheimer and Adorno. The aim is to draw out the political dimensions of the former and the ecological dimensions of the latter. New animism shares with historical materialism a critique
of modernity and the alienation produced by the separation of the human sphere of culture from the nonhuman field of nature. Both theories are interested in animism as exemplary refusals of this separation and both seek a mimetic, non-objectifying, relation to the world. New animism operates
to correct historical materialism's Eurocentric tendency to think of such 'naturecultures' as premodern and thus superceded, showing what can still be learnt from the example of specific indigenous peoples and their animistic engagement with the more than human world. But historical materialism's
dialectical approach to history also helps to guard against the romanticisation of animism and dehistoricised models of animistic relations to 'nature'. Capitalist modernity is not simply the extirpation of animism, the turning of souls into things, but also itself a modified form of animism,
the turning of things into magical commodities. Once we understand the mythic nature of capitalism, the critical task becomes not to reanimate the world but to counter-animate it. Both new animism and historical materialism are utopian in their investment in a spirited, more than human
world, but the latter also seeks to promote what I call a critical spiritedness, an ironised, melancholic identification with our fellow beings, both human and nonhuman, as subject to history and thus, in Adorno's phrasing, 'damaged life'. In the final part of my essay, I consider the
way in which art can channel this critical spirit through an exploration of Jim Jarmusch's 1995 film Dead Man, and its counter-animation of the cinematic tradition of the Western. The film is at once a melancholic critique of the deanimating, ecocidal and genocidal consequences of
Western expansion and an attempt to respiritualise the cinematic gaze through a creaturely identification with damaged life.
Mise à l’épreuve d’un projet de reconversion d’un territoire après la fermeture d’une centrale nucléaire : une illustration avec Fessenheim (France)
Authors: Erné-Heintz Valentine , Bour Valentine
Published: February 2022

La fermeture d’une centrale nucléaire remet en question le modèle économique sur lequel le territoire d’accueil s’est développé. Cet article prend appui sur un cas pratique, la fermeture de la centrale nucléaire de Fessenheim (France) et plus particulièrement le projet de reconversion du territoire. Ce travail s’inscrit dans la continuité d’autres travaux autour de la nucléarité. L’analyse se structure en deux parties : dans la première, nous verrons que les échelles mises en place poursuivent un processus d’objectivation des enjeux et varient en fonction des périmètres d’action. Dans la seconde partie, nous insisterons sur la difficulté à transformer un territoire qui a connu son développement autour d’une mono-industrie nucléaire. L’ambition affichée dans le projet de reconversion exprime une volonté d’aller plus loin en devenant un territoire exemplaire dans la transition énergétique. Nous montrerons que cette déconstruction du passé nucléaire ne va pas de soi et pose certains problèmes sur le terrain. Sur le plan méthodologique, nous nous basons sur des entretiens qualitatifs réalisés auprès d’élus rencontrés au printemps 2021.
Déconstruire l’héritage nucléaire : le démantèlement des installations du Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique
Authors: Blanck Julie
Published: February 2022

En suivant le travail d’organisation et temporalisation de l’action, cet article retrace l’élaboration dans les années 2000 d’une nouvelle politique de démantèlement ; puis sa mise en œuvre au sein d’un opérateur, le Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique. À partir de 2015, pour répondre aux critiques des autorités de sûreté pour des retards récurrents, le CEA a élaboré une nouvelle stratégie temporelle, différenciant projets prioritaires et projets mis sous cocon : cela permet ainsi de respecter le principe d’un démantèlement immédiat, inscrit dans la loi, tout en mettant en suspend les projets moins urgents. Cette nouvelle stratégie négociée entre autorités de sûreté et opérateurs vient reconfigurer leurs relations et leurs rôles respectifs dans l’élaboration de cette politique du secteur nucléaire.
Aux marges du nucléaire français : ce que veut dire démanteler l’industrie minière de l’uranium.
Authors: Brunet Philippe
Published: February 2022

Sur un demi-siècle, l’industrie minière de l’uranium en France a produit une part importante du combustible nucléaire, notamment en Limousin. L’article analyse ses activités de démantèlement-délaissement, avec leurs enjeux et problèmes. Débutées dans les années 90, ces activités s’exercent de manière ambivalente : tendues entre les mondes minier et nucléaire. Leur réception sur le territoire, comme question environnementale, montre des périodes chaude et froide qui aboutissent à un démantèlement qui ne peut être que partiel. Deux parties structurent l’article. La première situe l’industrie dans sa production et son ancrage territorial à travers deux temporalités : celle du « temps béni de l’uranium » jusqu’au milieu des années 70, puis celle du « temps disputé du nucléaire » où l’on assiste à une montée en puissance industrielle, qui reconfigure la production et le territoire. La seconde partie se focalise sur les activités de fermeture, de démantèlement et de réaménagement. Face aux élus locaux et aux groupes associatifs qui tentent, chacun, de prendre en charge la question environnementale de l’après-mine, la COGEMA se transforme en entrepreneur environnemental tout en préemptant la mémoire industrielle. L’État, pour sa part, est contraint de saisir la nucléarité des restes. Des conflits ne cessent de ponctuer ce processus que les dispositifs de concertation n’arrivent pas à dépasser. Finalement la question environnementale se délite, due aussi bien à la faiblesse des acteurs face à l’exploitant qu’à l’impossibilité de trouver une solution satisfaisante. Le délaissement demeure dès lors indéfiniment partiel.
