Background: Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) or Shin splints is exercise-induced lower leg pain along the distal posterior-medial aspect of tibia caused by repetitive loading stress during running and jumping. It is one of the most common lower leg sports injury. Cryotherapy is the most commonly used treatment during immediate care of athletic injuries and acute soft tissue injuries and is also included as part of RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation). Cryotherapy is helpful in reducing swelling as well as it exerts analgesic effect. The external compression is also used during immediate care phase and it helps in decrease tissue temperature and prevent oedema formation. Cryotherapy in combination with intermittent pneumatic compression hypothetically help in reducing the physiologic effects of traumatic tissue damage which is based on the models of cryotherapy and static compression therapy. This study aims to establish the efficacy of cryo-compression on shin splints in female amateur marathon runners. Methods: A total 30 subjects diagnosed with shin splints were selected for study. Subjects received cryo-compression for reducing pain and swelling and exercises to strengthen the muscles. Each session was conducted for 45 minutes duration, 5 days per week for 4 weeks. Outcome measure used was Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Goniometry for ROM and Manual muscle testing (MMT). Results: According to statistical analysis, the results of the study demonstrate that there was a significant effect of the use of cryo-compression on numerical pain rating scale (p<0.0001), range of motion (ankle plantarflexion, dorsiflexion, eversion and inversion) (p<0.0001), manual muscle testing – ankle plantarflexors (p=0.0028) and ankle dorsiflexors (p<0.0001) during the pre and post intervention assessment. Conclusion: The conducted study shows that efficacy of cryo-compression on shin splints in female amateur marathon runners is very effective in reducing pain, increasing range of motion (ROM) and strength of muscles along with other treatment program. KEYWORDS: Cryo-compression, shin splints, numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), range of motion, ankle plantarflexion, ankle dorsiflexion, ankle eversion, ankle inversion, manual muscle testing, ankle plantarflexors, ankle dorsiflexors.

Background: Chest expansion measurement is included as a standard mode of measurement to evaluate patient’s baseline status of respiratory function. There are various anatomical and physiological differences between adult and paediatric respiratory system hence, adult values of chest expansion cannot be used as reference values in paediatric population. Also, there is lack of recent data that has evaluated chest expansion values in paediatric age group. So, the present study was undertaken to find out normal chest expansion values in children between 5-12 years of age. It is important to know the reference value for precise interpretation. Methodology: A cross sectional observational study was carried out in 600 children between age group of 5-12 years and with normal BMI(without H/O any cardiac/respiratory illness, musculoskeletal or neurological diseases, spinal deviations, cough and cold). Chest expansion measurements were assessed in sitting position at three levels that is, 2nd, 4th and 6th intercostal spaces(ICS), using an non- elastic measuring tape. It was taken as thoracic circumference at the end of maximum exhalation and inspiration. An average of three such readings at each level was taken into consideration. Results: To find value of chest expansion at 2nd, 4th and 6th ICS levels a average values of the three measurements taken at each level at same time was taken into consideration. Conclusion: The normative values of chest expansion in healthy children between age group of 5-12 years is 2nd Intercostal space- 1 inch/ 2.5 cm, 4th Intercostal space- 1 inch/2.5 cm, 6th Intercostal space- 1.7 inch/ 4.25cm.

In this paper, the authors propose an algorithm for automatic operational flood detection of the Amur River basin based on data from the MSI instrument installed on the Sentinel-2 satellite. To solve the problem, a U-net convolutional neural network is used, improved due to the specifics of the data by adding an additional layer that reduces sampling and normalization layers after each neuron activation. As a training set, Sentinel-2 Level-2A data was used, which underwent the atmospheric correction procedure and represents 4 channels of the MSI instrument with a spatial resolution of 10 m, as well as index images built on their basis. As reference information, vector maps of river floods were used, built in an interactive mode by decoder specialists from the Far-Eastern Center of State Research Center for Space Hydrometeorology “Planeta”. The results of the neural network algorithm after the learning process were evaluated according to the metrics that amounted to: Precision – 94.91%, Recall – 90.76%, F1-measure – 92.79%. High accuracy ratings and fast operation speed make it possible to use the developed algorithm for automatic operational flood detection of the Amur River basin floods in the tasks of integrated monitoring of flood conditions. The work is a complete technical solution and has been put into trial operation at the Far-Eastern Center of State Research Center for Space Hydrometeorology “Planeta”. In the future, the results obtained by the authors are planned to be adapted to the data of the Russian satellite of the Meteor-M series with the KMSS-2 multi-zone satellite imagery complex installed on board. The expected results will improve the quality of the thematic products provided and will make it possible to switch over to the use of domestic data when creating our own technologies for processing satellite information.

Published: October 2022

Our objective is to identify the epidemiological profile of children that are victims of burn in the pain process and evaluate the pain in burnt children using a Visual Scale – EV (scale of faces). It is a study with an epidemiological and descriptive nature that was developed in a Centre of Treatment of Burnt of the Ceará State in the period between August, 2003 and September, 2004. Our sample is composed of 100 children. We use a form in which we have the Visual Scale – EV (scale of faces). During the evaluation with EV, we observe by comparing the evaluation made by the child and the one made by the carer that, in most levels of pain, the evaluation made by the child had a greater value than the one made by the carer. However, in levels 0 (no pain), 3, 4 and 5 (the worst level) it was 50% for each evaluator, what demonstrates the adult had a good evaluation of the pain of the child in hospital. It shows they know well their children. May the pain evaluation become part of the daily routine of Nursing care, affirming itself as the fifth vital signal.
Theoretical-Philosophical insight about in vitro fertilization based on the Hans Jonas thought
Authors: Oriá Mônica OB , Moraes Leila MP , Ximenes Lorena B , Moreira Rui VO
Published: October 2022

The couple infertility is a dysfunction at the level of human reproduction, which has evolved since remote times. Some approaches have emerged from evolutions in technology not to cure infertility, but to reach successfully the desired offspring. In this article, we have approached in vitro fertilization (IVF) specifically; according to the strategy applied by many infertile couples in a variety of locations in Brazil. The aim of this study was to conduct a theoretical-philosophical discussion about IVF based on Hans Jonas responsibility principle. Hans Jonas is known as the philosopher who defends nature and humanity. Jonas states that the concept of responsibility implies on the must-being and must-doing, the latter as someone’s reply to the must-being. Hence, it is critical to assure the intrinsic right of the subject. Thus, this intrinsic right of the embryo regards the right to live, never to die, a death induced simply by a human action. In Jonas theory, the best is not necessarily what is to come, but something to be conserved in opposite to a worse upcoming scenario. Therefore, re-thinking is needed, instead of advances on genetic manipulation, being conservative and provident in our attitudes remains critical.

Published: October 2022

Global trends in the world are currently representing a serious incentive to bring ‘green thinking’ to life. This is the case of replacing synthetic materials derived from fossil resources with natural-origin, renewable resources. In the automotive industry and other segments of the manufacturing industry, increasing attention is being paid to the use of natural fibers in the manufacturing of composite materials. For example, flax and hemp fiber, as reinforcing material, is starting to widely replace carbon fiber. It is not just an ecological benefit, but also an important product protecting human health, since the amount of emissions that pollute the environment is minimized. Consequently, that lead to reduced intake by human being of harmful substances that would affect its health status. Existing composite materials used in motor vehicles, produced from carbon fibers, are creating very sharp fracture areas in the event of accidents causing human injury, while materials from natural fiber plants in this case are free from sharp edges at the place of fracture. Raw materials derived from hemp processing are used in the automotive, textile industry, construction (hemp concrete, heat insulation material), energy, biofuel production, arts and design, paper production, food, medicine, etc. This paper covers the main types of products derived from hemp.

Published: October 2022

The paper focuses on such an economic and legal phenomenon as a business accelerator. Despite the fact that business accelerators are widespread in Russia, little is known about their legal status and regulation. What is the legal definition of accelerator programs? What is the difference between accelerators, incubators, business angels and a collaborative environment? The relevance of the study is also influenced by the public sector’ interest of the in participating in such programs. Business accelerator programs allow you to teach a novice entrepreneur how to develop an effective business model, financially support its implementation by attracting investment funds. Current trends in the development of startups are that business accelerators will soon be available for all projects with commercial efficiency. Therefore, it is important to determine the legal status of business accelerators, their role in business development, the degree and forms of state participation in the activities of accelerators.

Authors: Rychkova S. I. , Likhvantseva V. G. , Sandimirov R. I.
Published: October 2022

The work is devoted to one of the most relevant problems of ophthalmology and neurophysiology which is the study of interhemispheric interactions in children with ophthalmopathology.

The purpose of this work is to study lateral phenotypes in children with ophthalmopathology.

Patients and methods. 374 6–15 years old children were observed: 1) 160 children with non-paralytic strabismus; 2) 111 children with organic pathology of the retina and the optic nerve; 3) 103 children of the control group (without ophthalmopathology). The lateral phenotype (LP) was determined according to the scheme “dominant hand — dominant ear — dominant eye”.

Results. Different LP ratios were obtained in the examined groups of children (p < 0.001). The ratio of right-handers / left-handers / ambidextrous children was most uniform in the group of children with non-paralytic strabismus (43,8 / 22,5 / 33,7 %). In the group of children with organic ophthalmopathology it was “shifted” to the right-hand side (65,8 / 10,8 / 23,4 %). In the control group the number of left-handers was minimal, and the number of ambidextrous was maximal (51,4 / 3,9 / 44,7).

Conclusion. It was found that children with organic ophthalmopathology are characterized by the most pronounced predominance of right-sided LP, and children with non-paralytic strabismus are characterized by a relatively uniform distribution of right-sided, left-sided and symmetrical LP. The identified features may reflect increased left-hemispheric activity in children with organic ophthalmopathology and adaptivecompensatory increase in right-hemispheric activity in children with non-paralytic strabismus.

Published: October 2022

Wireless communication with underwater drones plays a vital role in rescuing an after-ship accident, and it is considered one of the most challenging technologies nowadays. The wireless underwater drone also contributes significantly to navy, gas and oil companies, underwater infrastructure, aquaculture industry, commercial diving, and deep archeological investigations. Bangladesh, a developing country with many rivers and seashores used by many water transport vehicles, faces boat and ship accidents as a typical scenario every year. Many lives, dead bodies, ships, boats, and valuable objects do not get rescued because of the lifetime risk of the divers or the rescue team. The rescue operation is exceptionally troublesome because of the absence of wireless underwater drone technology at the cheapest cost, whose innovation and function are very challenging for Bangladesh. Considering these problematic situations, in this paper, we have proposed a prototype of a semi wireless underwater drone designed and structured with the best quality PVC pipe of 6mm diameter, considering the weight as lowest as possible, maintaining its buoyancy properly. In this prototype, we have used three propellers, each connected with three servo motors, to move it up, down, back, and forth. A robotic arm is also utilized to rescue objects from under the water, and a 4K HD EKEN camera and two waterproof fog lights to search and visualize underwater objects on the mobile screen from the land. For wireless communication between the controller and the drone, we have used two nRF24L01 modules; one is for the controller, and the other is for the drone’s receiver to send and obtain the signals from the controller to the drone. 12V and 24V lithium-ion batteries are employed as power sources for the controller and receiver, respectively. Finally, real experimental tests of the proposed underwater device were performed in a swimming pool facility.

Published: October 2022

Currently, pupils being left in the classroom, in the house or in the car is happening a lot, causing unintended incidents. The reason is that parents or caregivers of pupils go through busy and tiring working hours, so they accidentally leave pupils in the car, indoors, or forget to pick up students at school. In this paper, we developed an algorithm to recognize students who use neural networks and warn managers, testing on a model integrated Raspberry Pi 4 kit programmed on Python in combination with cameras, sim modules, and actuators to detect and alert abandoned pupils to the manager to take timely remedial measures and avoid unfortunate circumstances. With the ability to manage students, the system collects and processes images and data on student information for artificial intelligence (AI) systems to recognize when operating. The system of executive structures serves to warn when students are left in the car, in the classroom, or in the house to avoid unintended incidents or safety risks.

Published: October 2022

Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently been used frequently, especially concerning the Internet of Things (IoT). However, IoT devices cannot work alone, assisted by Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) for long-distance communication and Short-Range Network for a short distance. However, few reviews about AI can help LPWAN and Short-Range Network. Therefore, the author took the opportunity to do this review. This study aims to review LPWAN and Short-Range Networks AI papers in systematically enhancing IoT performance. Reviews are also used to systematically maximize LPWAN systems and Short-Range networks to enhance IoT quality and discuss results that can be applied to a specific scope. The author utilizes selected reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA). The authors conducted a systematic review of all study results in support of the authors' objectives. Also, the authors identify development and related study opportunities. The author found 79 suitable papers in this systematic review, so a discussion of the presented papers was carried out. Several technologies are widely used, such as LPWAN in general, with several papers originating from China. Many reports from conferences last year and papers related to this matter were from 2020-2021. The study is expected to inspire experimental studies in finding relevant scientific papers and become another review.

Published: October 2022

In the present study, we show that the principles of criminal law constitute a complex, interdependent, mutually conditional whole, each of them characterising the whole of criminal law as a whole about the principles of European Union law. We then point out that, in general, the means of criminal coercion are restricting their scope of application in favour of extending their preventive, educational and social values, through a gradual decompression of criminal law in favour of other forms of legal intervention and coercion (contraventional, administrative, disciplinary, etc.).  We also stress that there are principles enshrined throughout criminal law (1865 - to date), recognised as constants of criminal law; what developments in society have promoted new ideas? Is the range of constants widening or narrowing?

AbstractSanitation management is an important part of sustainability in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For this reason, the Directorate General of Human Settlements (IPLT) has built an infrastructure for sewage treatment plants (IPLT) in an effort to increase public access to sanitation services. For optimal and sustainable IPLT, it is necessary to separate the functions of regulator and operator managing the sanitation sector through institutional development of the technical implementing unit (UPTD). The focus of the discussion of this article is on the analysis of the institutional development of the UPTD for the management of IPLT Infrastructure in Ponorogo Regency in 2021. The results of the research are that institutional development is running according to the SE Ministry of Home Affairs No 061/4338/OTDA concerning Consultation Guidelines for the Establishment of Branch Offices and UPTDs, however, in the consultation process for KA UPTD PALD Ponorogo Regency at the Bureau of Organization of East Java Province was delayed because of the "Acceleration Process for Equalization of Positions in the Regional Government Environment" agenda by the Ministry of Home Affairs as stated in a Circular from the Ministry of Home Affairs Number 800/6078/OTDA. This process requires coordinationKeywords: sanitation, local government, institutionsAbstrakPengelolaan sanitasi menjadi bagian penting untuk keberlanjutan sejalan dengan Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This perspective focuses on the development of tissue engineered (TE) cell-based therapies to treat left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and chronic heart failure (CHF). The development of induced pluripotent stem cells enabled investigators to seed or co-culture human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) alone and in combination with other cells onto bioengineered scaffolds applied to the epicardial surface of the damaged left ventricle. Using our work as an example, we show how a xenograft implant of a bioengineered scaffold embedded with human neonatal fibroblasts and seeded with hiPSC-CMs partially reversed maladaptive LV remodeling and improved LV systolic/diastolic function in an immune-competent rat model of CHF. The fibroblasts lay down an extracellular matrix and secrete growth factors that increase myocardial blood flow. This approach provides an improved cell payload that covers a larger area of the damaged left ventricle as opposed to direct cell injections into the heart or down the coronary arteries. These studies combined with ongoing studies in immune-competent Yucatan mini swine treated with the same xenograft led to the preliminary design of a proposed Phase I clinical trial that will be presented to the Federal Drug Administration. For the proposed Phase I clinical, this TE patch will be implanted onto the epicardial surface of non-immunosuppressed patients undergoing elective Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting with Ejection Fractions ≥ 20% and ≤ 45%. The primary endpoints will be adverse events/severe adverse events associated with placing the TE patch on the heart. While Phase I trials are primarily safety trials, this proposed trial is designed to obtain some potential efficacy endpoints to help with the design of future Phase II/III clinical trials. These endpoints include changes in LV remodeling that were seen in the pre-clinical animal models as well as including endpoints that focus on patient well-being.
Chemical unit co-substitution enabling broadband and tunable near-infrared emission in garnet-type Lu3Sc2Ga3O12:Cr3+ phosphors

Although near-infrared phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (NIR pc-LEDs) are desired for non-visible light source applications, the design of broadband NIR phosphors remains a challenge. Inspired by the chemical unit co-substitution strategy for the modification of composition and local structure, we realize a tunable redshift emission from 706 to 765 nm in garnet-type Lu3Sc2Ga3O12:Cr3+ with a broadened full width at half maximum and enhanced photoluminescence intensity by introducing a [Mg2+-Si4+] unit into the [Sc3+-Ga3+] couple. Structural and spectral analyzes demonstrate that the co-substitution reduces the local symmetry and crystal field strength of the [CrO6] octahedra, thus leading to inhomogeneous widening of the 4T2→4A2 emission and enhanced blue absorption. Furthermore, the 4T2→4A2 emission exhibits a phonon-assisted character at low temperatures due to the thermal coupling effect with the 2E level. The fabricated NIR pc-LED based on the optimized NIR phosphor exhibits excellent potential in night vision and imaging applications.
