L’affaire Louis Thomas. De la guerre d’Indochine à la guerre d’Algérie, une radicalisation d’extrême droite à l’ombre de l’Association des combattants de l’Union française (ACUF)
Authors: André Marc
Published: November 2022

Les guerres de décolonisation françaises sont des guerres d’un genre particulier : généralement non reconnues, elles durent longtemps et, tout en se déroulant « au loin », elles ont des répercussions en métropole. C’est pourquoi elles font naître un malaise (aussi bien dans l’armée que dans la population civile) propice à une fermentation politique et à une radicalisation des positions particulièrement vraies pour l’extrême droite. Cet article se penche sur une association paramilitaire, l’Association des combattants de l’Union française (ACUF), et montre comment celle-ci, initialement constituée sous la forme d’un organisme de bienfaisance (aide aux blessés de guerre, accueil des militaires rapatriés des colonies, hommages aux morts), entre dans une logique de radicalisation qui conduit ses principaux dirigeants à comparaître devant la Cour de sûreté de l’État en 1963 pour atteinte à l’intégrité du territoire nationale. De fait, elle est devenue une branche de l’Organisation de l’armée secrète (OAS). Plus spécifiquement, la trajectoire du président de la section lyonnaise, Louis Thomas, montre comment un homme ordinaire franchit un à un les seuils de la violence, de l’invective aux attentats (supposés) en passant par les sabotages de réunions, les bagarres de rues et le meurtre d’un Algérien. Grâce aux recoupements de très nombreuses archives (Renseignements Généraux, presse militante, régionale et nationale, justice, enquête orale), on est à même de suivre une trajectoire biographique arrimée à une mobilisation associative dans un contexte de crise politique aiguë où les autorités politiques et militaires, comme les médias, sont parties prenantes. Cette histoire offre ainsi une plongée inédite dans la guerre d’indépendance telle qu’elle peut affecter le quotidien.
L’arme électorale des vidéos politiques en ligne. Contenus et viralité de la chaîne YouTube « Ridicule TV » dans la campagne présidentielle française de 2017
Authors: Lefébure Pierre
Published: November 2022

Le compte de vidéos YouTube « Ridicule TV » fournit le premier exemple en France d’une stratégie de contenu de communication négative systématique, en l’occurrence habillée sous un projet éditorial d’humour. Associé à la campagne de François Fillon tout en récusant lui être lié, le dispositif a édité 59 courtes vidéos avant le premier tour de l’élection présidentielle française de 2017 dont la grande majorité cible Emmanuel Macron. Cette forme innovante de communication cherche à obtenir une diffusion virale stimulée par le plaisir du spectateur plutôt que par la préférence politique. Nous analysons le contenu de ces vidéos pour objectiver par quels moyens discursifs elles peuvent stimuler la réaction de leur public puis nous examinons les variations de performance des vidéos en termes de nombre de vues et d’intensité d’engagement des internautes. Cela permet de conclure sur le degré de réussite stratégique du dispositif.
Les aventures du théâtre à l’École
Authors: Dupont Nathalie
Published: November 2022

Notre contribution cherche à mieux comprendre pourquoi le théâtre a une place à part dans l’École, ni théâtre professionnel, ni théâtre amateur, ni discipline obligatoire. La problématique développée est structurée autour des enjeux et des tensions entre politiques culturelles et éducatives puis analyse plus particulièrement ce qui relève des politiques scolaires, des écarts entre les logiques institutionnelles (objectifs généraux, programmes, cadrages pédagogiques des réformes) et des espaces d’innovation mis en œuvre par des militants. Le théâtre interroge une forme scolaire qui cherche à l’instrumentaliser et il met l’École face aux défis de partenariats nécessaires avec les comédiens et gens de théâtre, dans des “passerelles” complexes entre des pilotages institutionnels et des dispositifs spécifiques qui peuvent se développer dans les marges.
Centering Black women faculty: Magnifying powerful voices
Authors: Priddie Christen , Palmer Dajanae , Silberstein Samantha , BrckaLorenz Allison
Published: November 2022

While much of the quantitative research on Black women faculty has taken a comparative approach to understanding their experiences, this study provides a counternarrative, centering their experiences as faculty. This large-scale, multi-institution glance at Black women faculty helps to give us an overview of these women across the country, looking at who they are, where they are, how they spend their time, and what they value in undergraduate education. This study allows us to strengthen various arguments made in qualitative studies of Black women faculty and amplify their perspectives and experiences. Furthermore, it reaffirms and reinvigorates the need for educational developers to practice intentional assessment of Black women faculty’s teaching, support the current teaching efforts of Black women faculty on their campus, and advocate for policy change centering the work of Black women faculty.
Data Warehouse and Interactive Map for Promoting Cultural Heritage in Saudi Arabia Using GIS
Authors: Allheeib Nasser , Alraqdi Marine , Almukaynizi Mohammed
Published: November 2022

With the urbanization of various regions, many historical sites may be misrepresented or totally neglected. As more people move to urban areas with time, heritage areas are being abandoned or ignored. The roads leading to such areas are less maintained, and they are not being adequately promoted. Over the years, the emergence and evolution of digital maps have played a significant role in tourist and cultural exploration and are important sources of information for tourists who are considering specific destinations. In this paper, the authors discuss the development and implementation of a geographic information system (GIS) in the tourism industry. They create an interactive map for tourist sites and suggest a means of retrieving tourist data. They select the Aseer region as a case study since it is rich with deep cultural heritage, comprising almost 4,000 heritage villages, and is considered to be one of the most important tourist destinations in the country. In this paper, the authors propose an initiative for the development and implementation of GIS in the tourism industry.
Agile Talent Management
Authors: Nigam Priti Vivek , Chavla Purvi Avantilal
Published: November 2022

Organisational agility is becoming increasingly important in establishing long-term competitive advantage. Organisational agility has recently gained prominence as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The main issue with organisational agility is determining how to make employees more agile. In this research paper, the researcher emphasised two essential dominants for organisational agility: agile competencies and agile talent management practices. For this, 50 employees from various organisations and institutes in Vadodara were surveyed using questionnaires. PLS 3.3.2 was utilised to analyse the proposed model using partial least squares structural equation modelling. This research paper advances agility research by emphasising the positive association between agile talent management practices and organisational agility. This study also contributes to human resource management by underlining the inherent linkages to HRM and the lineage of a competence-based organization agility model.
Testing Hospital Quality Strategic Determinants
Authors: Caccia-Bava Maria do Carmo , Smith Sarah L. , Mabry Jennifer L. , Guimaraes Tor
Published: November 2022

Hospital administrators are motivated to improve hospital quality in the eyes of their patients, healthcare quality regulators, and accrediting organizations. This study empirically tests the importance of some strategic determinants of hospital quality by collecting data using an emailed questionnaire filled by 258 chief quality officers. The results supported the importance of competitive intelligence, strategic leadership, management of technology, specific characteristics of the change process, and organization culture as major determinants of hospital quality.  Based on the results, the report makes recommendations on where to direct their efforts, including understanding how to measure these important factors. The important model tested here has not been proposed before and provides several research opportunities for perhaps expanding the model and account for unexplained variance in hospital quality, including other constructs potentially being moderators and mediators for the hypothesized relationships.
Designing Controlled Chinese Rules for MT Pre-Editing of Product Description Text
Authors: Zheng Ying , Peng Chang , Mu Yuanyuan
Published: November 2022

The study aims to investigate how pre-editing based on controlled Chinese rules can be an effective approach to improving Chinese-to-English machine translation (MT) output. Based on the analysis of comparable texts, and by considering the rules of modern business writing and the differences in sentence structure between Chinese and English languages, four controlled Chinese rules for product description text are proposed: 1. Every sentence should have an explicit subject; 2. There are no repetitive complimentary expressions; 3. Sentences should be short; and 4. The Chinese sentence structure should be complete, with clear logical relationships within and between sentences. In accordance with the four rules, five corresponding pre-editing methods are introduced. Then, taking Xiaomi Air2 SE earphones' product description as an experimental text, the study examines the influence of pre-editing in accordance with controlled Chinese rules on MT output quality. The results show that such pre-editing can significantly improve MT output in dimensions of adequacy, fluency, and style.
Investigating the Key Drivers of Impulsive Buying Behavior in Live Streaming
Authors: Cui Yi , Liu Yanping , Gu Meng
Published: November 2022

Live streaming has become popular among various e-commerce models. As an efficient way of marketing, live streaming can stimulate consumers' impulse purchasing behavior by creating a compelling experience, flow experience. Even though research on flow experience has been applied to understand consumer behavior in e-commerce, few studies have been conducted in live streaming e-commerce, let alone the influencing factors. Drawing on the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model, this paper examines the impact of cognitive stimuli and perceptive stimuli on the urge to buy impulsively via flow experience. The results indicate that information content, website design, time pressure, and personalized recommendation positively relate to flow experience and the urge to buy impulsively. They also find the direct effect of time pressure and personalized recommendation on the urge to buy impulsively. The theoretical contributions and the practical implications for e-commerce live streaming are presented.

Pelvic Fractures and the Application of Pelvic Binders in Athletic Training
Authors: Payne Ellen K. , Wise Stephanie
Published: November 2022

Context

With the rise of athletic trainers (ATs) providing care to more nontraditional sports such as skiing, motor sports, rodeo, and X Games, the potential for dealing with traumatic pelvic injuries has increased from the traditional setting. The prehospital care provided by the AT can greatly reduce the potential complications seen in these patients. Application of a pelvic binder should be integrated into the athletic training education curriculum.

Objective

To provide the presentation of traumatic pelvic fractures, various types of pelvic binders available in the prehospital setting, and integration and teaching of this skill to professional level athletic training students.

Description

Students should be able to recognize and assess traumatic pelvic injuries. Proper treatment of these injuries is presented with a step-by-step process of how to manage these injuries in the prehospital setting. Equipment needs and how to teach this within the athletic training setting are discussed.

Clinical Advantage(s)

Integrating the application of the pelvic binder into current athletic training curricula helps provide ATs another tool to use in helping to prevent blood loss, shock, or death in patients with a possible traumatic pelvic fracture.

Conclusion(s)

Traumatic pelvic fractures are an important critical injury that must be assessed and addressed promptly to avoid hemorrhage and other sequela.
Characteristics of Athletic Training Students' Patient Encounters During Immersive and Nonimmersive Clinical Experiences: A Report From the Association for Athletic Training Education Research Network
Authors: Jones Bailey C. , Cavallario Julie M. , Welch Bacon Cailee E. , Walker Stacy E. , Bay R. Curtis , Van Lunen Bonnie L.
Published: November 2022

Context

The 2020 Standards for the Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education require programs to include at least one immersive clinical experience (ICE) in their clinical education curricula. Yet, it is unknown whether ICEs provide more opportunities and benefits than nonimmersive clinical experiences (N-ICEs). The purpose of this study was to compare characteristics of patient encounters (PEs) that occurred during ICEs and N-ICEs.

Design

Multisite panel design.

Setting

Twelve professional programs (5 undergraduate, 7 graduate).

Patients or Other Participants

Three hundred thirty-eight athletic training students logged PEs in the E*Value system.

Main Outcome Measures

For each PE, students reported clinical experience type (ICE, N-ICE), clinical site type, student role (observed, assisted, performed), diagnoses reported, and procedure(s) performed. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize PE characteristics. Generalized estimating equations were used to compare student role and clinical site type during PEs in ICEs and N-ICEs (P < .05).

Results

A total of 10 999 PEs occurred at ICEs and 18 228 PEs occurred at N-ICEs. Sixty-four percent of ICEs and 67.2% of N-ICEs occurred at collegiate settings. Students performed 70.6% of reported PEs during ICEs, and 72% of PEs at N-ICEs. Participants averaged 0.80 ± 0.64 diagnoses and 1.35 ± 1.12 procedures per PE during ICEs, compared with 0.82 ± 0.63 diagnoses and 1.33 ± 1.04 procedures per PE during N-ICEs. No significant differences between ICEs and N-ICEs were found in either student role (P = .50) or clinical site type (P = .71).

Conclusion(s)

Programs may intend to use ICEs later in their curricula to demonstrate progressive clinical autonomy; however, we found no statistically significant differences in student role for ICEs versus N-ICEs. The ICEs examined in this study may have been implemented without specific objectives, which may explain the lack of characteristic differences between the clinical experience types.

Sublingual immunotherapy for the treatment of allergies
Authors: Schellack Natalie , Engler D.
Published: November 2022

The treatment of allergies often involves pharmacological therapy and recommendations by healthcare workers that the allergen should be avoided. Allergen-specific immunotherapy has emerged as an alternative to effectively decrease the immunoglobulin (Ig) E:IgG4 ratio. Two routes of administration are described, namely subcutaneous immunotherapy, which has always been considered to be the gold standard of treatment, and sublingual immunotherapy, which has recently been shown to have fewer systemic side-effects and improved compliance by patients.

Physical activity of children from a small rural town, South Africa
Authors: Minnaar E. , Grant C. C. , Fletcher L.
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Physical activity plays an integral role in the normal physical, mental, social and cognitive development of children. One of the main reasons for overweight children in low- and middle-income countries like South Africa is inactivity. This study’s aim was to describe the physical activity measured in boys and girls from section 21, quintile 5 pre-primary and primary schools in a small rural South African town and to compare it with recommended international physical activity levels.Method: Seventy-eight rural children, representing Caucasian and black African children, divided into three age groups, were issued a piezoelectric pedometer for seven complete days. Pedometer data obtained were total steps, aerobic steps, aerobic walking time, calories and distance. Steps per day were compared with international levels. Correlation statistics examined the association between physical activity and adiposity.Results: Boys in the age groups 9–11 and 12–14 years are statistically more active than girls of the same age (p = 0.005 and 0.045 respectively). Although girls’ physical activity levels tend to decrease with age, their aerobic activity levels increase with age. This group of rural children’s physical activity levels are far lower than the recommended international normative levels. No correlation was found between physical activity and adiposity.Conclusion: The pedometer data indicated that gender and age influence the activity of children. This group of rural children’s physical activity is far less than international normative levels. Nine to 11-year-old boys are the most active boys, and girls of 12–14 years old are the most aerobic active girls in this study, therefore the authors concluded that, to increase physical activity, the age group 9–11 may be the ideal age to focus on for gender-specific intervention programmes.

Evidence that changes the way you practice Bipolar Disorder: Mania and depression explained
Authors: Outhoff K.
Published: November 2022

Bipolar Disorder (BD) is characterised by alternating discrete episodes of depression and mania.1 Rational pharmacotherapy necessitates an appreciation of these different phases and of the possible underlying pathophysiology. A greater understanding of the pathogenesis of BD has boosted awareness of how anti-bipolar drugs work, and vice versa.2 This bidirectional relationship has amplified knowledge in both disciplines.
HIV-related knowledge and practices: a cross-sectional study among adults aged 50 years and above in Botswana
Authors: Ama Njoku O. , Shaibu Sheila , Burnette Jacqueline D.
Published: November 2022

Background: Older adults in Botswana have been shown to be sexually active and engage in risky sexual activities that make them vulnerable to HIV infection. In order to implement meaningful interventions to address older adults’ HIV and AIDS concerns it is important to understand how much knowledge they have concerning HIV and AIDS and practices. This study explored the knowledge of HIV and AIDS and sexual practices of 609 older adults in Botswana.Methods: The study was cross-sectional and used a survey design. A total of 609 older adults were recruited using respondentdriven sampling (RDS) from four purposively selected health districts and interviewed on their individual HIV and AIDS-related knowledge and practices. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression.Results: Although knowledge of HIV and AIDS was high (95.7%), knowledge of HIV infection through blood transfusion, transmission from mother to child, or sharing needles or syringes was lacking. Only 72% of males and 23.2% of females know that having fewer partners and avoiding blood transfusions (71% of males and 44.3% of females) can minimise risks of HIV infection. Age, marital status and employment status significantly predicted knowledge of transmission (p 0.05), while sex significantly predicted knowledge of prevention and control methods.Conclusion: The study concludes that age-appropriate and culturally relevant education and training of older adults are necessary for the prevention and control of HIV infection.
Patient experiences with designated service provider medication delivery in a rural general practice in KwaZulu-Natal: a cross-sectional study on HIV patients
Authors: Reddy V. V. , Mahomed O. H.
Published: November 2022

Background: Healthcare funders (medical schemes) have established disease management programmes (DMPs) and designated service providers (DSPs) to reduce costs and improve patient outcomes to meet legislative requirements. However, there is a paucity of studies that have researched patient experiences and adherence to medication through the DSP process.Methodology: A retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted between January and June 2013 within the designated family practice amongst all HIV patients who were receiving antiretroviral treatment provided by healthcare funders via DSP agreements (Medipost, Direct Medicines, etc.) Data were collected using an anonymous self-administered questionnaire as well as a record review tool.Results: The majority of patients (77%; 26) reported receiving antiretroviral medication deliveries on time, receiving a reminder before delivery (88%; 30) and receiving correct medications (77%; 26). Short messaging services (SMS) were the most popular method used to inform patients of an impending medicine with 85% (28) of all respondents reporting that they received SMS messages. Some 70% of the patients rated their satisfaction with DSP medication delivery between good and excellent. However, 30% of the patients rated the service as satisfactory to poor.Conclusion and recommendation: DSP delivery of ART medication has fared well in this study, with the majority of patients satisfied with the services. This may in part be due to the higher level of education amongst the participants of the survey. A national study should be conducted using different population groups to identify the satisfaction and adherence to HIV medication amongst patients from a lower socio-demographic profile.

Published: November 2022

The topic of maternal Chromium (Cr) levels in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) has remained controversial; some studies have found lower levels of Cr in GDM population, whereas others found no significant changes in Cr status in GDM. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis was aimed at qualitatively and quantitatively synthesizing past studies to find the relationship of maternal Cr levels with GDM. The study protocol was registered at International prospective register for systematic reviews (PROSPERO) (ID CRD42021272979). Strict adherence to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-analysis checklist, 2009 was followed during the entire study. Random-effect model for calculation of distribution of true effect sizes was used for the meta-analysis with a confidence interval (CI) of 95%. The pooled Standard Mean Difference of control and GDM groups were compared using Z statistics with a P value of <.05 as significant. Six studies were included for the systematic review and four studies entered meta-analysis. The test of overall effect revealed that the pooled Cr values did not differ significantly between controls and GDM group (Z = 1.52, P =0.13). Heterogeneity between the studies was high (I2 = 97%). A subgroup analysis revealed that results varied as per place of study, trimester of pregnancy, and Cr estimation technique. Results from meta regression analysis revealed that sample size of individual studies (Q = 0.003, P =0.67) and year of publication of studies (Q = 0.22, P =.48) had no significant effect on the overall Standard Mean Difference. Factors such as ethnicity, lack of history of infection, and diet history can influence the results of this study.
Primary pulmonary undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma: A rare malignant lung tumor
Authors: Rajpoot Akhlesh , Gangakhedkar Mihir , Singh Monika , Mishra Mayank
Published: November 2022

Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma (UPS) is a common soft tissue sarcoma that can develop in various organs, but lung involvement is usually due to metastasis. UPS originating primarily in the lungs is called primary pulmonary undifferentiated pleomorphic Sarcoma (PPUPS) and is exceptionally rare. It is a high-grade pleomorphic neoplasm with no identifiable lines of differentiation. Thus, it is essentially a diagnosis of exclusion that requires extensive clinical, radiographic and histopathological evaluation. Herein we report the case of a 49-year-old gentleman who presented with anemia and weight loss and was found to have a large right lung mass. The lesion was diagnosed as PPUPS after detailed histopathological, immunohistochemical and molecular analysis and exclusion of a possible extrapulmonary origin.
Immunohistochemical expression of histone modification pattern in adult glioblastoma
Authors: Archana B , D’Cruze Lawrence , Sundaram Sandhya , Ramanathan Krishnakumar , Ganesh Krishnamurthy
Published: November 2022

Background:

Despite the growing advances in molecular research and therapeutics, glioblastomas are still considered highly invasive aggressive tumors with a median survival of 15 months. Genetic alterations have been studied in detail; however, additionally, there is now growing evidence on the role of epigenetic alterations in glioblastoma. Recently, histone modification patterns have been found to have a significant part in gene expression and prognosis. However, further research in this field is warranted to establish its role for the betterment of these patients with the deadly disease.

Aims:

To determine the immunohistochemical expression of histone modifications like histone-3-lysine-18 acetylation (H3K18Ac) and histone-4-lysine 20 trimethylation (H4K20triMe) in glioblastoma patients.

Materials and Methods:

This is a retrospective study of 48 glioblastoma patients who underwent surgery. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for tri-methyl-histone-H4 (Lys20) (H4K20triMe) and acetyl-histone-H3 (Lys18) (H3K18Ac) was performed in paraffin-embedded tissues manually, and the expression was noted. Data on the mitotic index and overall survival was collected and statistically analyzed.

Results:

The mean age was 50 years with a M: F ratio of 1.6:1. Out of 48 cases, 60% (28 cases) demonstrated positivity for H3K18Ac and 98% (46 cases) for H4K20triMe. The pattern of expression was nuclear with increased expression adjacent to necrosis and at the invasive front. The overall median Q score for H3K18Ac was 1/12 and for H4K20triMe was 6/12. No significant statistical significance was observed between histone expression, Ki67%, and overall survival.

Conclusion:

Histone modification patterns are being explored in detail in an array of tumors. They also have a potential role in glioblastoma for risk stratification and instituting appropriate treatment based on the prognosis. Epigenetic changes like histone modification patterns, in addition to genetics, can pave the way for a better molecular understanding of glioblastomas and provide hope in the future to improve the survival of these patients with deadly diseases.
A Theological Response of the Chapel of the Light, the University of Ilorin, to the Covid19 Pandemic
Authors: Ogunkunle Caleb Oladokun
Published: November 2022

The entire world was bedeviled with fear and anxiety as a result of Covid 19 pandemic that has ravaged the world. The pandemic affected every segment of society, particularly the places of worship. Covid 19 pandemic negates the biblical injunction that promotes corporate worship (Hebrews 10:25). Thus, the words of Jesus Christ in Matthew 18:29 have been negated and abrogated. This paper examined the theological response of the Protestant chapel at the University of Ilorin to Covid 19 pandemic. Historical and phenomenological methods were adopted as related literature on Covid 19 pandemic was reviewed, and facts that emerged during the lockdown period were analyzed and discussed. The study discovered that the Covid19 pandemic was real with its corresponding adverse effects. Despite the lockdown, Chaplaincy introduced virtual fellowship through different platforms such as Text messages, Zoom, WhatsApp, and others. Also, it was discovered that, unlike human beings, God is not limited to the four corners of a Church building hence, he could be worshipped anytime and anywhere. The paper concluded that members of the Chapel of the Light in particular and Nigerian Christians in general while fellowshipping with one another, abided by the laid down protocols of Covid 19 pandemic. The paper recommends that the reality of the 'new normal' should enable the church to chart and develop new methods of worship and evangelism with the effective use of information and communication technology.

Authors: Varadaraju V D  , Bharath Narasimha Y R  , H N Shivananjaiah
Published: November 2022

Nanoparticles are usually defined as particles of matter that are between 1 and 100 nm in diameter. Silver oxide nanoparticles have a wide range of applications and they are usually used as sensors, catalysts, optical probes, and in the medicinal field. Nanoparticles of undoped and cerium-doped silver oxide nanoparticles are synthesized using the combustion method while using the latex of jackfruit as fuel (Green synthesis). Crystalline properties and optical properties of the samples were determined using the X-ray diffraction method, UV-visible spectroscopy method, IR spectroscopy method, Scanning electron microscope, and particle analysis. Average particle size was determined by X-ray diffraction method, functional groups were determined by using IR spectroscopy, and the
concentration of functional groups was determined by UV-visible spectroscopy. This characterization could be used to study the difference between undoped silver oxide nanoparticles and cerium-doped silver oxide nanoparticles.

In this paper, we present the development of music rhythm based LED’s in a circular fashion. This article provides a concise overview of the mini project work that we undertook, which involved the design and development of the Music Rhythm LEDs. The primary goal of our project is to create Music Rhythm LEDs that can be used for DJ lights, disco lights, or lighting during a party and that turn ON and OFF in time with the beats or rhythm of the music. A microphone and BC547 on a PCB can be used to create this Music Rhythm LED's Circuit, which will cause the led to flash in time with
the music. The transistor will enhance the electric pulse that the microphone produces when it detects the rhythm of the song, which will cause the linked led to begin flashing. Just a few components are needed to make this very straightforward circuit. An application is implemented realistically when the work comes to a close. The created prototype demonstrates the effectiveness and strength of the invention. The work presented here is the mini-project work of the 2nd sem students of electronics &
communication engineering department of dayananda sagar college of engg., bangalore.

The main purpose of this Room Temperature Controller is to control the temperature of the room or any closed spaces whose temperature keeps fluctuating and thus requires a constant watch on the temperature of the room. The use of this system eliminates constant watching on the device by self controlling the temperature of the system.
Our proposed project consists of digital temperature sensors for more accurate temperature control in various industries. Our system overcomes the disadvantages of thermostat/analog systems in terms of accuracy. This system can be used in any firm or organization where it is very important to maintain precise temperatures.
LCD display is used to display the temperature and when the temperature exceeds the set limit, the lamp is switched off in order to control the temperature. The heater is demonstrated with the help of a lamp. After the heater is switched off, the AC(cooling device) is switched ON. Here AC is demonstrated with the help of small fan.
After the AC is switched ON, it remains ON until the temperature reaches below the exceed limit. Thus the system keeps on switching ON/OFF the heater or the AC for automatically controlling the temperature of the system. The system uses a digital temperature sensor in order to detect temperature and pass on the data to the microcontroller. The 8051 microcontroller processes data and sends the
temperature to be displayed on LCD screen. The display consists of 7 segment display unit to display up to 4 numbers.]
ON THE POSSIBILITY OF DETERMINING ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE NPP EMISSIONS USING THE RADIATION CAPACITY OF LANDSCAPE COMPONENTS
Authors: Barbashev S.V.
Published: November 2022

Using the radiation capacity model of landscape components located in the zone of influence of the NPP and the results of the calculation of the radiation risk from human and terrestrial biota exposure, an approach was developed to determine the amount of radionuclide emission from the NPP that ensures the safe existence of terrestrial biota (ecological regulation) and humans (hygienic rationing). A conservative calculation performed for the actual emission of 137Cs from the Zaporizhzhya NPP showed that an ecologically safe level of exposure to biota organisms (mammals) located in the studied territory of the plant's monitoring zone will be ensured with an emission from the NPP almost an order of magnitude greater than for humans.
