Management of iatrogenic urethral foreign body after mid urethral sling
Authors: Bazinet Amélie , Weis Sylvia , Madec François-Xavier , Boillot Bernard
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Urethral mesh perforation is a rare complication of mid-urethral sling resulting in a lack of clear management guidelines. Thus, we aimed to determine management options and their respective outcomes in terms of erosion resolution and continence.
Methods: A literature review was performed by extracting studies from the PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar from January 1996 to December 1, 2022. Only French and English language studies were included. A total of 227 papers were screened and assessed for eligibility.
Results: Forty-eight studies were included in the final analysis, for a total of 224 patients. Treatment options consisted of conservative, endoscopic, transurethral, and transvaginal approaches. Conservative treatment was associated with a 100% risk of persistence or recurrence of urethral perforation, while the failure rates for endoscopic, transurethral, and transvaginal approaches were 33%, 7.5%, and 7%, respectively. Most patients suffered from stress urinary incontinence after reconstructive management. The most common symptoms at the time of presentation were overactive bladder and pain. The mean time between the onset of symptoms and diagnosis was 10 months. About half of the urethral mesh perforations were diagnosed within the first years after the initial sling insertion.
Conclusions: Multiple management options for sling penetration of the urethra have been described in the literature. Transvaginal sling resection with consecutive tissue interposition seems to carry the lowest risk of erosion recurrence; however, all treatment options are associated with a high relapse rate for stress urinary incontinence.

Authors:   JJTU, FTBCommunication Pvt Ltd Jhunjhunu, Pune, India, Patil Mahesh S
Published: July 2023

Abstract—Human Biofield is a crucial parameter for the monitoring and detection of stress. Human Biofield is also termed as “Human Aura”. Since ancient times Aura is a parameter which can not only be used for stress detection but also after ailments in human body. In this paper, we focused on monitoring and detection of stress using human Aura. The Aura is measured by Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) using 10 fingers tips. Anxiety, Energy level, Balance and organ Disbalance are the parameters we measured in first part. We measured these parameters at three-time states. At current/normal state, second state is relaxation state and third is after exercise. In Second part we measured Chakra Alignment. We observed that Stress and Chakra alignment are strongly related to each other. More the stress higher the misalignment. Secondly more the stress higher the anxiety level, lower energy level, lower balance and higher the organ disbalance. Keywords—Stress, Human Aura, Biowell Camera, GDV

Authors: Singh Brajeshwar , Gupta Somal
Published: July 2023

An investigation entitled “Optimization of fermentation parameters to enhance biotransformation based pharmacophores from plant extract of Picrorhiza kurroa Royle ex Benth” was conducted in the Division of Microbiology, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences to optimize different fermentation parameters to enhance the polyphenols in the plant Picrorhiza kurroa Royle ex Benth collected from the Galhar region of District Kishtwar of UT Jammu & Kashmir. Four fermentation parameters were optimized during the experiment i.e. temperature, pH, inoculum load and incubation time with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus acidophilus. The experimental results revealed that among Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus acidophilus, Saccharomyces performed better in all the conditions. Saccharomyces showed the maximum increase in phenolics and flavonoids. It showed the max increase at 300C (92.10 to 127.04mg GAE/g dw) temperature and at pH of 5.5(92.43 to 128.96mg GAE/g dw) When incubated for 48h. Also, it was observed that increasing incubation time has an increasing effect on total phenolic content and flavonoid content but prolonged fermentation results in the decrease of both. In case of Saccharomyces, decrease in phenolics was observed after 48h (136.77 to 100.05mg GAE/g dw) but in case of Lactobacillus, decrease was seen after 72h, which could be due to the oxidation of phenols by bacteria. Further LCMS analysis also revealed an increase in the quantity of compounds as there is increase in the peak area. Thus, this study suggests optimum fermentation parameters and microorganism for enhancing bioactive compounds in Picrorhiza kurroa Royle ex Benth. The results suggest that Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the best microorganism for fermentation of Picrorhiza kurroa Royle ex Benth and the optimum conditions for incubation is 300C temperature at pH5.5 for 48h; that gives improved nutraceutical values and enhance the bioavailability of these bioactive compounds.

A Comparison between (ECM) and (KNN) Methods for the Multivariate skew-normal model with incomplete data
Authors: Shawkat Lina , Nayef Qutaiba
Published: July 2023

Statistical parameter estimation for multivariate data leads to waste of information, if the missing data are omitted, and in return will lead to inaccurate estimates, that is why incomplete data should be estimated using one of the statistical estimation methods to get accurate results and in return good estimates for the parameters. This paper aims to estimate the missing values for a multivariate skew normal model using the Expectation Conditional Maximization (ECM) algorithm and the K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) method. After estimating the missing values, the model parameters will be estimated using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method and Newton-Raphson algorithm. A comparison between the (ECM) algorithm and the (KNN) method was conducted using the Mean Squared Error (MSE) for the model through simulation to find the best estimation method.
Degradasi Politik Nilai Mahasiswa dalam Gerakan Sosial: Perspektif Ambivalensi
Authors: Ibrahim Islahuddin , Nur Askar
Published: July 2023

Dalam sejarahnya, perubahan sosial yang terjadi tidak pernah lepas dari gerakan sosial yang dibangun atas dasar kesadaran kritis para mahasiswa sebagai agen perubahan. Gerakan sosial yang dibangun mahasiswa bukan tanpa alasan, mereka menganggap ada yang timpang dan tidak sesuai dengan nilai-nilai kemanusiaan dan keadilan. Akan tetapi, dewasa ini gerakan mahasiswa semakin meredup dan mengalami degradasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi proses dan faktor kemunduran dari gerakan sosial mahasiswa. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan menggunakan pendekatan ambivalensi Homi Bhabha. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan kajian pustaka, pengamatan terhadap fenomena yang terjadi, selanjutnya dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan ambivalensi perspektif Homi Bhabha. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam hal meredupnya gerakan mahasiswa, terjadi proses yang berakibat pada subjek mengalami kondisi kebimbangan. Hal ini terjadi dikarenakan subjek dipengaruhi oleh lingkungan aktivis mahasiswa dan membuat subjek meniru atau berkamuflase dengan budaya lingkungannya. Subjek menginginkan perubahan sosial dengan membangun gerakan sosial. Akan tetapi, di sisi lain mereka tidak memiliki analisis yang tajam terhadap persoalan sosial yang dituntutnya. Alhasil, subjek mengalami ambivalensi yang berujung pada mereduksinya nilai gerakan mahasiswa antara mengintrupsi sistem atau memenuhi lifestyle. Maka dari itu, subjek membutuhkan suatu analisis tajam serta pengetahuan mendalam untuk membangun kesadaran kritis yang mampu menciptakan gerakan kolektif dalam menginstrupsi sistem dan juga sebagai upaya mengembalikan marwah dari gerakan sosial mahasiswa.

A energia solar fotovoltaica vem batendo recordes de geração no Brasil em 2022. A fonte cresce ano a ano, apesar de ainda representar uma parcela minoritária da matriz do país. Esta já dispõe de tecnologias avançadas para geração de energia elétrica, porém o Brasil ainda conta com alguns desafios que vem sendo superados lentamente. E atualmente é considerada uma fonte estratégica contra os impactos ambientais substituindo as fontes não renováveis que produzem muitos gases e contribuem para a mudança climática. Partindo dessa perspectiva, o objetivo da presente pesquisa foi analisar a percepção dos colaboradores do setor a respeito dos impactos socioambientais resultantes da inserção, cada dia maior, de sistemas de geração de energia solar fotovoltaica em Maceió-AL. A pesquisa foi realizada em cinco empresas que trabalham no ramo da energia solar localizadas no município de Maceió no estado de Alagoas em um período de 17 dias no mês de dezembro de 2022. A fase seguinte correspondeu a aplicação de questionários, onde foi possível coletar informações de 26 colaboradores da parte técnica. A seguir, com auxílio do software Excel, realizou-se a construção gráficos e a formação dos grupos conforme o grau de formação dos colaboradores. Dessa forma, obteve-se três grupos de conhecimento: básico com 19%, intermediário com 35% e o avançado em sua maioria com 46% mostrando que os colaboradores das empresas têm conhecimento do assunto. Apesar de ser uma energia renovável que não emite poluentes para atmosfera, esta pode causar alguns impactos no ambiente, por isso sugere-se que antes de sua implantação seja realizado o Estudo de Impactos Ambientais (EIA) e o Relatório de Impactos Ambientais (RIMA) no momento de realização do projeto para implantação da energia solar fotovoltaica, com o intuito de evitar e ou reduzir modificações no ambiente, a exemplo da extração de silício para confecção dos painéis solares. No cenário atual é evidente a adição de sistemas fotovoltaicos para a geração de energia em todo o Brasil, mas ainda falta mais atuação das empresas e incentivos do governo visando minimizar os danos e os impactos causados pela atividade citada. Assim, sugere-se que haja um trabalho mútuo entres ambos para que todos tenham consciência da importância de sua implantação do estado, mas que deve ser realizada tentando minimizar o máximo os impactos socioambientais que possam surgir após sua inserção.

O presente trabalho objetivou realizar uma comparação dos níveis de glicose sérica em ovinos, através de mensurações realizadas em glicosímetro portátil e por método laboratorial, com o intuito de monitorar a glicose sanguínea dos animais, considerando os diferentes métodos citados e assegurar os resultados obtidos através do uso de glicosímetros portáteis que são tão utilizados na rotina clínica de medicina veterinária por serem aparelhos pequenos, portáteis, de baixo custo e de fácil manuseio, além de necessitarem de uma pequena quantidade de amostra sanguínea e que geram resultados com maior rapidez. O estudo foi realizado com cinquenta ovelhas provenientes da Fazenda Experimental Marcello Mesquita Serva da Universidade de Marília. O método aplicado foi pela coleta 1mL de sangue através da veia jugular, utilizando uma seringa de 3mL, que em seguida, foi encaminhado ao Laboratório de Patologia Clínica do Hospital Veterinário da Universidade de Marília, onde foi processado para obtenção da glicemia por meio de métodos laboratoriais. Com o mesmo sangue coletado, foi realizado a mensuração da glicemia através do glicosímetro portátil, a fim de estabelecer uma comparação entre os dois métodos de mensuração. Posteriormente, foi realizado a perfuração em pavilhão auditivo, também para a realização da dosagem de glicose sérica utilizando o glicosímetro portátil, e assim, uma comparação entre os níveis glicêmicos entre o sangue venoso e capilar. Com os resultados obtidos, foi possível observar uma pequena taxa de variação quanto ao método de processamento para obtenção dos níveis de glicose sérica, indicando valores baixos quanto ao teste laboratorial quando comparado à utilização do glicosímetro portátil. No entanto, o glicosímetro portátil apresentou-se com os resultados constantes quanto às amostras coletadas das regiões de jugular e pavilhão auditivo, comparativamente.

O presente artigo, por meio de investigação bibliográfica e documental, busca compreender o processo de interiorização da universidade enquanto ampliação da cultura universitária, levando em consideração as tensões e conflitos que daí emergem. Para isto, abordamos o processo mais geral de interiorização da UFPA, relacionando-o à ideia de democracia, desenvolvimento e cultura regional. Após, analisamos o caso específico da UFPA na região do Baixo-Tocantins, utilizando os discursos institucionais e teóricos em torno do ideal “civilizatório” da Universidade Moderna que parece nortear este processo. Concluímos com a compreensão de que a universidade se interioriza, confrontando novas críticas e exigências por parte dos sujeitos interioranos que passam a habitá-la, exigências quanto à recepção de seus saberes, modos de ser e estar no mundo.
Efficiency of shoreline detection by video monitoring systems – the example of Ploče beach in Rijeka
Authors: Miličević Hanna , Carević Dalibor , Bujak Damjan
Published: July 2023

Historical centers of many European cities, which are also the cultural centers, are composed of building aggregates formed mainly of masonry structural units. Limited space for expansion and population growth caused development of a new structural form – building aggregates. Croatia is no exception; for example, building aggregates are typical for historical Lower Town in Zagreb. Since the behavior of building aggregates in the case of an earthquake differs from the behavior of isolated structures, they represent a special challenge for civil engineers. The paper presents two approaches to the vulnerability assessment, with emphasis on the impact of aggregates, i.e., on the interaction of structures.
On the relation of microstructure development and time- zero as the beginning of autogenous shrinkage
Authors: Didulica Katarina , Baričević Ana
Published: July 2023

In cementitious composites, the hydration process is the most important feature. The conditions, rate, and general manner of this process affect the properties of composites both at early and later ages. The development and prediction of future properties can be studied using both destructive and non-destructive methods to predict the potential and behaviour at later ages. Due to the early occurrence of autogenous shrinkage and the large influence of chemical shrinkage, the hydration process and the formation of the microstructure play an important role in determining the time zero point for autogenous shrinkage and the overall determination of the shrinkage value.
An overview of methods for determining the impact of vibrations from tramway vehicles on nearby buildings
Authors: Burnać Krešimir , Haladin Ivo
Published: July 2023

Vibrations from tramway operations can potentially cause discomfort for the building residents and occupants and can be dangerous for buildings themselves because of their proximity to the tramway track. Big part of the Zagreb tramway traffic network is located within the historic city centre, at some locations distanced less than 7 meters away from the buildings. Since earthquake in 2020 this issue is even more relevant, and it is processed in detail in this paper. There is also an emphasis on previous research containing a few different measurements (on the tramway track, tramway vehicle and buildings) as a foundation for more detailed research in the future. The purpose of the vibration measurements is to build a model that would define parameters that are connected to different tramway vehicles and tram track. Also, it could predict the change of vibration levels in time, their propagation through the soil as well as the impact of vibrations on the surrounding buildings. That kind of model would serve as a direct indicator and an input to the tramway network operator on how to optimise the needed interventions on the track and in that way additionally lower maintenance costs and increase living standard in the cities.
The influence of autonomous vehicles on the selection of highway design elements
Authors: Čudina Ivančev Ana , Dragčević Vesna
Published: July 2023

The introduction of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence in cars, raises the question of what the road infrastructure should be like in the future. The changes are expected to be significant, given that the human factor has influenced a number of design parameters. The ability of autonomous vehicles to drive themselves, anticipate situations, communicate with surrounding vehicles and infrastructure, and the environment in which they are located, places new demands on road infrastructure. Gradual changes in infrastructure will mostly depend on the speed of development of autonomous vehicles and their introduction into the transport system. Starting with intensive maintenance of roads and accompanying facilities, through separate corridors only for autonomous vehicles, while the goal is simplified and safe road infrastructure. The aim of this paper is to provide a review of the literature for the possible adaptation of road infrastructure intended for autonomous vehicles and to lay the foundation for further research in this area.
FLOODPLAIN-CHANNEL BRAIDED REACHES: FORMING CONDITIONS AND HYDROLOGICAL-MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Authors: Chalov R.S.
Published: July 2023

For the first time, the conditions for floodplain-channel braided reaches formation are analyzed, the criteria for their identification as a structural level of channel processes are justified, and their connection with river water content, channel regime, flooding of floodplains during high water periods and morphology of valleys is discussed. This type of braided reaches is characteristic of wide-floodplain channels, being a specific form of meandering processes of medium and large rivers, such as the Upper and Middle Ob’, Vychegda, and Oka rivers. They are less common for rivers with braided channel and could be found only on large and largest ones (the Severnaya Dvina, the Lower Lena rivers) and in meandering channel branches of split channels (Yugans-kaya, Malaya, and Gornaya Ob’ rivers). Such floodplain-channel braided reaches are the result of evolution of meanders or island-braided channels; they are formed as the river passes from one side of the valley to another due to the mismatch between channel and floodplain water flows during seasonal and flash flood periods. They could be formed if the effective water discharge occurs when the floodplain is inundated. They also arise: downstream large headlands of bedrock banks or bends of the valley, which have a directing effect on the flow, deflecting it towards the floodplain and contributing to higher water content in the floodplain channel branches and turning them into river channel branches; as a result of intra-floodplain interceptions of channel branches of split channel and floodplain channel branches; during the formation and evolution of cut-off bends; at confluences of large rivers due to the development of “delta” branches (Ob’ and Tom’ rivers, Amur and Bureya rivers). In floodplain-channel braided reaches with three or four branches they have a polygenetic character. They are rare in incised channels, being associated with large local expansions of channels (the Yenisey River, the Upper Lena River) as a result of water stream spreading and its rising because of the downstream narro wing by bedrock banks.Between channel branches of the floodplain-channel braided reaches there are large island massifs of complicated shape, with much less ratio of their length (branching step) and width than the optimal one, i.e. 3-4, characteristic of island-braided channels of a drop-shaped or spindle-shaped form. The branches of floodplain-channel braided reaches have their own series of morphodynamic channel types (up to 3-5 bends or island-braided reaches), the parameters of which depend on the water content of channel branches.

Authors: Shi Mengrui , Li Qiang
Published: July 2023

The objective of this study is to investigate the brain activity patterns of deaf children and hearing children during the processing of two different tones (first tone and third tone) using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Furthermore, the study aims to identify the differences in brain activation regions between deaf children and hearing children during the tone processing task. Five deaf children and two hearing children were selected as participants. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans were conducted on the subjects using an fMRI scanner. The acquired fMRI data were then preprocessed and analyzed to examine the patterns of brain activity. Deaf children and hearing children exhibit differences in brain activation regions during the execution of tone recognition tasks. These differences can be observed in various areas such as the pre-central gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, middle occipital gyrus, supplementary motor area and interior frontal gyrus, among others. The results suggest that deaf children may rely on different neural networks to process tone information compared to hearing children, possibly exhibiting stronger neural plasticity and compensatory mechanisms. These findings contribute to the understanding of the neural basis of tone processing and may help in refining intervention strategies.

Authors: Long Bowen , Tan Fangya , Newman Mark
Published: July 2023

To maximize the accuracy and efficiency of the USMLE Step 2 clinical skills examination evaluation process, we proposed an ensemble model that helps automatically score patient notes written by test takers instead of physician raters manually scoring them by appropriate features. This research used DeBERTa-base, DeBERTa-large, and DeBERTa-v3-large as three base models and ensembled them with two different approaches: Note-based and Character-based. We concluded that LSTM Note-based ensemble topped the overall performance with an F1-score of 0.81747 on the validation data, 48% higher than the F1-score of the most effective base model (DeBERTa-v3-large). Furthermore, the performance is robust when breakdown by clinical cases and folds and applied to the testing set (0.88737 accuracy). Finally, the ensemble approach to different base models (BERT-base-uncased and BERT-large-uncased) achieved a 32% F-1 score boost. We demonstrated the ensemble model has excellent potential to improve performance in general Natural Language Understanding tasks.

Annexin A2, a Ca2+-regulating and phospholipid-binding protein, distributing in most of cells which plays roles in the inflammatory regulation and pathogenic resistance. It performs membrane binding function in various physiological processes such as membrane repair, vesicular transportation and autophagy. In the present study, Annexin A2a and Annexin A2b gene were cloned from Ctenopharyngodon Idella (grass carp). The open reading frame (ORF) of Annexin A2a and Annexin A2b encoded 337 and 338 amino acid residues, respectively. The gene phylogenetic tree showed that Annexin A2a and Annexin A2b gene in grass carp had a great evolutionary conservation compared with their orthologues in danio rerio. The predicted 3D models presented that Annexin A2a equipped calcium ion binding sites, and its structure identity was 66.96% compared with human Annexin A2. However, Annexin A2b possessed no calcium ion binding sites, but it still had 64.79% identity compared with human Annexin A2.

Published: July 2023

According to the definition in the resolution International Maritime Organization no A.860 (IMO 1997) navigation is the process of planning, recording, and controlling the movement of a craft from one place to another. When navi-gating in special conditions, for example, when approaching a port or in restricted areas, it is immensely important to know the vessel's maneuverability. Therefore, identifiable information must be available on each vessel. Each watch officer is required to have the necessary knowledge of both the equipment and maneuverability of his own vessel. The description and scope of the documentation containing this data are provided in IMO Resolution A.601 (IMO, 1987). The maneuver documents that must be available on the navigation bridge are Pilot Card and Wheelhouse Poster also Maneuvering Booklet. The timeliness of the data contained in the maneuver documentation significantly influences the safety of navigation. At present, the maneuver documentation is not created in an automated manner. Automation of registration and data processing process will increase the knowledge of the behavior of the own vessel. In addition, it allows to obtain maneuvering data that exceeds the parameters necessary to prepare ship documentation. Especially research carried out in various hydrometeorological conditions, enabling the assessment of the movement of the ship on the waves. These data can be used to carry out research projects related to the subject of vessel behavior analysis. That is why the authors have made an attempt to automate the registration and processing of data necessary to create documents and their continuous generation in electronic form. In this article the authors present a proprietary comput-er application that enables the achievement of the assumed goals along with checking the applications functionality on a selected type of a vessel. The correct operation of the system has been verified based on real study and simulation tests.

Published: July 2023

Traffic capacity is an important index to measure the operation efficiency of expressway toll stations. In order to pro-vide relevant theoretical support for accurately evaluating the congestion degree and service level of toll stations, this paper establishes a traffic capacity calculation model for the square in front of expressway toll stations based on the traditional cellular transmission method. Firstly, by dividing the square in front of the station into regular cells, the process of calculating the traffic capacity is simplified; Secondly, the capacity model of the square in front of the station is established based on cellular transmission, and a large amount of data is collected through the monitoring videos of several toll stations. The theoretical capacity of the square in front of the station is calculated by using the important parameters of the model calibrated by the measured data under different lengths of the square in front of the station and the configuration of toll lanes. Then, the simulation platform of VISSIM software is used, and many experi-ments are carried out with relevant measured data to verify the accuracy of the model in multiple scenarios. Finally, the simulation value of the capacity of the square in front of the station is obtained, and the error is calculated by using the simulation value and the calculation value. The results show that the error of the verification result is 5.19%, and the error is within the allowable range, which shows that the model is accurate and feasible. The theoretical capacity calculated by the capacity model of the square in front of the toll station established in this paper is com-pared with the actual capacity, which can be used as a standard to judge the congestion degree of the square in front of the toll station and further provide a theoretical reference for evacuation of congestion.
Research on path optimization for multimodal transportation of hazardous materials under uncertain demand
Authors: Han Wei , Chai Huo , Zhang Jianpeng , Li Yuanping
Published: July 2023

In the process of long-distance and large-volume transportation of hazardous materials (HAZMAT), multimodal trans-portation plays a crucial role with its unique advantages. In order to effectively reduce the transportation risk and improve the reliability of transportation, it is particularly important to choose a suitable transportation plan for multimodal transport of HAZMAT. In this paper, we study the transportation of HAZMAT in multimodal transport networks. Considering the fluctuation in demand for HAZMAT during the actual transportation process, it is difficult for decision makers to obtain the accurate demand for HAZMAT orders in advance, leading to uncertainty in the final transportation plan. Therefore, in this paper, the uncertain demand of HAZMAT is set as a triangular fuzzy random number, and a multi-objective mixed integer linear programming model is established with the objective of minimizing the total risk exposure population and the total cost in the transportation process of HAZMAT. In order to facilitate the solution of the model, we combined the fuzzy random expected value method with the fuzzy random chance constraint method based on credibility measures to reconstruct the uncertain model clearly and equivalently, and designed a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-) to obtain the Pareto boundary of the multi-objective optimization problem. Finally, we conducted a numerical example experiment to verify the rationality of the model proposed in this paper. The experimental results indicate that uncertain demand can affect the path decision-making of multimodal transportation of HAZMAT. In addition, the confidence level of fuzzy random opportunity constraints will have an impact on the risk and economic objectives of optimizing the multimodal transportation path of HAZMAT. When the confidence level is higher than 0.7, it will lead to a significant increase in transportation risks and costs. Through sensitivity analysis, it can provide useful decision-making references for relevant departments to formulate HAZMAT transportation plans.
