AWARENESS ON DISASTER MANAGEMENT AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN VIJAYAWADA CITY: AN INTERVENTIONAL STUDY
Authors: R Vijaykumar , Vijay Kumar Pasam Guru
Published: April 2021

Background:ADisaster is a serious disruption occurring over a short or long period of time that causes widespread human, material, economic or
1
environmental loss which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources . The key to reducing the loss of
2
life, personal injuries, and damage from natural disasters is widespread public awareness and education . Disaster management includes
prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery for which, regular training and awareness activities are needed especially among
students to greatly reduce the impact of disasters.
Materials and Methods: It was an educational interventional design with an exploratory research approach adopting nonprobability purposive
sampling technique, which was conducted among 178 students of government high school, aged 16-18years in Vijayawada from July 2019 to
September 2019. Apre-tested structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Data collected was analyzed with SPSS v20.0.
Result: Awareness regarding disaster management among high school students was found to be 59.9 % and after the intervention, the awareness
level raised to 90.6 %. Paired t-test test showed that there was statistically signicant (p<0.05) improvement in awareness among students after an
educational intervention.
Conclusion: These ndings emphasize that the extent of knowledge is not yet satisfactory and there is a severe need of providing knowledge to
school children. Disaster management chapters should be incorporated as a part of the regular school curriculum for all students. Effective,
purposeful training and awareness programs are to be timely conducted. Many Campaigns and NGOs should be encouraged to spread awareness
among schools and the public.

Materials and Methods: Aprospective spontaneous reporting method of Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) in hospitalised setting was conducted for
a period of six months.
Results: The study came across with the demography of patients, the most commonly involved classes of drugs and assessment of ADRs. The
results showed that 136 adverse drug reactions were reported from a total of 11584 patients and the overall incidence of ADR calculated from
patient population was 0.81%. No signicant difference was seen in overall incidence of ADRs observed in males and females. Incidence of ADRs
among adults (1.15%) was signicantly higher than paediatrics and geriatrics. Antibiotics (39.71%) were the drug class most commonly associated
with ADRs. Causality assessment states that majority of the reported ADRs were probable according to WHO-UMC criteria. According to the
severity assessment majority of the ADRs were mild in nature. Most of the ADRs were not preventable (76.47%) according to Schumock and
Thornton preventability scale.
Conclusion: ADR monitoring was found to be useful to measure the effectiveness and safe use of medication.
ENABLING DATA SECURITY IN CLOUD COMPUTING THROUGH REMOTE DATA INTEGRITY AUDITING
Authors: H Kavya , Gunjal G H Samyama
Published: April 2021

Health-records are an essential information for everyone. User cannot carry all the health records of a patient everywhere whenever required, as it may lead to misplacing of documents and may get placed in the wrong hands. To solve this obstacle, remote data integrity audit proposal has been introduced, that facilitates the sharing of data and hides crucial data ensuring the condentiality of the information stored in the cloud. The proposed system aims at preserving user privacy in an Electronic Health Records (EHR) system using the blockchain technology (EHR-BT). The scheme generates blocks of equal length of the le with condential data and turns the signatures of data blocks into legitimate le access data blocks. With the integrity audit phase, signatures are used to certify the integrity of the le, as well as ensures the privacy and immutability of information.

Temperature Impact on Non-Linear Inductors in Operating Conditions for SMPS
Authors: Scirè Daniele , Ventimiglia Marco , lullo giuseppe , vitale gianpaolo
Published: April 2021

The exploitation of
power inductors outside their linear region in switching converters requires a
detailed description of the magnetization curve that is often not included in
the datasheets; besides, the temperature of the inductor must be taken into account.
This paper shows how to characterize the behavior of an inductor when it is
operated up to saturation and its temperature rises. In order to characterize
the inductor in real operating conditions, a dedicated measurement rig has been
developed. It consists of a switching converter that includes the inductor
under test and is controlled by a virtual instrument developed in LabVIEW. The
characterization system was tested by retrieving the inductance and the
magnetization curves vs. current for two commercial inductors at core
temperatures up to 105°C. The magnetic core is then characterized by the
saturation current versus inductance, obtaining an expression for the whole
family of inductor sharing the same core. Finally, we analyzed experimentally
the thermal transient of the inductors in operating conditions confirming the
fundamental role of temperature in changing the current profiles and the core
saturation condition.

The importance of flowcytometry study with the first aspirate taken during bone marrow aspiration in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma and follow-up of minimal residual disease
Authors: Eser Ali
Published: April 2021

Objective: Flow cytometry (FC) is a diagnostic method supporting traditional morphological examination in disease follow-up and the diagnosis of Multiple myeloma (MM). Normal and atypical plasma cells (PCs) can be told apart from each other by means of FC method. The plasma cell rate is the highest in the blood obtained in the first aspirate during bone marrow aspiration in MM.

Material and methods: A total of 60 patients that have been diagnosed with MM between 2018 and 2020, including 30 patients whom flow cytometry was studied with the first aspirate during bone marrow aspiration, and 30 patients whom FC was studied with the second aspirate were included in our study. The characteristics of the patients were analyzed retrospectively from their files.

Results: The median ratio of plasma cells (PCs) detected by FC and bone marrow biopsy  was 17,5% and 44%, respectively. While this rate was median 37,5% in patients that flow cytometric study was performed with the first aspirate, the rate was found to be median 7% in patients that FC was performed with the second sample. The PCs rates were statistically significantly higher with the flow cytometric study with the first aspirate than the second one (p=0.000).

Conclusion: Flow cytometric study with the first aspirate during bone marrow aspiration in patients with MM is diagnostically important.
Early onset androgenic alopecia: not a cosmetic problem but a sign of life time risk factors. Male phenotypic equivalent of polycystic ovarian syndrome: Is There a Male Phenotype of PCOS
Authors: Akdeniz Didem Dereli , Yılmaz Candeğer
Published: April 2021

Objective: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) was thought to be a gynecologic disorder and then accepted as a general endocrine and metabolic syndrome. The genetic component of PCOS seems to be very important in its etiology. Because of this reason there should be a male PCOS equivalent. Early androgenetic alopecia (EAGA) is a specific pattern of hair loss and it should start before age 30 years and it is claimed to be a male equivalent of PCOS in women.

Materials and Methods: In this study we aimed to investigate the hormonal and metabolic parameters of men with EAGA and compare them with healthy age-matched controls. Thirty men with EAGA and 30 controls were screened for free testosterone, DHEAS, gonadotropins, 17OH progesterone, ACTH, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, homocysteine and metabolic profile. Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) results were used for the marker of insulin sensitivity. Alopecia classification was made by using the scale of Hamilton with Norwood modification.

Results: Patients with EAGA had higher free testosterone (25,12±3,05 vs 21,3±1,77), DHEAS (634,90±27,09 vs 578±17,82), LH (9,16±0,28 vs 5,13±0,40). The EAGA group had insulin resistance but the control group did not (HOMA results were 3,34±0,47 vs 1,43±0,3). The homocysteine levels of EAGA group were higher than controls (12,37±1,31 vs 9,33±2,12) which is another cardiovascular risk factor. The correlations that we found in our study among HOMA, serum androgen levels, homocysteine and alopecia scores were positive in EAGA patients. We didn’t find any correlations among those parameters in control group. Because of these findings men with EAGA can be considered as male synonym to PCOS syndrome. These young men should be followed for the same long time risk profile like PCOS women. Insulin resistance and its results like metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are real risks but there may be even a risk for infertility.

Conclusion: We aimed to investigate whether EAGA can be accepted as the male phenotype of PCOS and if they have elevated risk factors for chronic complications than their age and sex matched controls.

The Privacy Cost of Currency
Authors: Thrasher Karin
Published: April 2021

Banknotes, or cash, can be used continuously by any person for nearly every transaction and provide anonymity for the parties. However, as digitization increases, the role and form of money is changing. In response to pressure produced by the increase in new forms of money and the potential for a cashless society, states are exploring potential substitutes to cash. Governments have begun to investigate the intersection of digitization and fiat currency: Central Bank Digital Currencies (“CBDC”).

States have begun researching and developing CBDCs to serve in lieu of cash. Central banks are analyzing the potential for a CBDC that could be made available to the public and serve as a substitute for cash by providing an alternate, safe, and robust payment instrument. However, the greatest attribute of cash is that it protects purchaser anonymity. Fully eliminating cash, without a substitute that safeguards anonymity, would undermine privacy of individuals. The creation of a CBDC in response to the potential cashless society raises the question whether the anonymity previously provided by cash must be safeguarded by the state. This note posits that a central bank in a cashless society must opt for the token-based form of CBDC, which provides the most privacy to individuals. States that choose an account-based CBDC will be in violation of fundamental international privacy principles.

This note begins by drawing the crucial distinction between account-based and token-based currencies. Then, this note argues that the broad right to privacy in the digital age is inclusive of personal financial data; this data is subject to the lawful and arbitrary standards of article 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (“ICCPR”). Applying the ICCPR framework, it becomes abundantly clear that the privacy of individuals must be protected, even in the rapidly changing landscape of payments in the digital age.
Seamen, Railroad Employees, and Uber Drivers: Applying the Section 1 Exemption in the Federal Arbitration Ace to Rideshare Drivers
Authors: Bradley Conor
Published: April 2021

Section 1 of the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA or the Act) exempts “seamen,
railroad employees, [and] any other class of workers engaged in foreign or
interstate commerce” from arbitration. In 2019, the Supreme Court held in New
Prime Inc. v. Oliveira that this provision exempted independent contractors as
well as employees. This decision expanded the reach of the section 1 exemption and
may affect the relationship between ridesharing companies, such as Uber, and
their drivers. Previously, ridesharing companies argued that courts must enforce
the arbitration clauses in their employment contracts because their workers were
independent contractors and, therefore, section 1 was inapplicable. Since this
argument is now prohibited by the holding in New Prime, rideshare drivers have
an opportunity to avoid arbitration using the section 1 exemption. But they still
face legal difficulties because of the narrow construction of the exemption employed
by courts. This Note argues that the current interpretation of the exemption, which
focuses on the physical movement of goods across state lines, is incongruent with
the text and history of the FAA and that courts should broaden the exemption to
include rideshare drivers.
Smart Cars, Telematics and Repair
Authors: Grinvald Leah , Tur-Sinai Ofer
Published: April 2021

Recent years have seen a surge in the use of automotive telematics. Telematics is the integration of telecommunications and informatics technologies. Using telematics in cars enables transmission of data communications between the car and other systems or devices. This opens up a wide range of possibilities, including the prospect of conducting remote diagnostics based on real-time access to the vehicle. Yet, as with any new technology, alongside its potential benefits, the use of automotive telematics could also have potential downsides. This Article explores the significant negative impact that the growing reliance on telematics systems could have on competition in the market for repair services.

Our analysis highlights two main areas where the use of telematics for vehicle diagnostics may pose a threat to competition and consumer choice. First, we focus on the manner by which manufacturers communicate with their customers via the telematics system. Due to the special relationship between car manufacturers and their consumers, which is often based on trust and loyalty, alongside the “captive audience” status of drivers, we argue that communications emanating from the car’s telematics system could be deceptive. Second, we explore the negative impact that the shift away from on-board diagnostics to telematics could have on independent repair shops’ access to diagnostic information.

Fortunately, the law can adapt to keep pace with these new technological and commercial developments. This Article articulates the combined multi-prong, multi-agency policy approach needed to maintain an effective right to repair cars in the new age of telematics. Among other things, our analysis supports an update of state consumer protection legislation and an increased policing by the Federal Trade Commission of practices employed by car manufacturers. In addition, we highlight the need to consider certain amendments to intellectual property laws that effectively aid car manufacturers in maintaining exclusive control over their telematics systems and diagnostic data.
Challenges of Translating Poetry: The Filipino Translation of William Shakespear's Sonnet 18
Authors: Juanillo Kay Tepait
Published: April 2021

Translation plays an important role in understanding different cultures and societies. Among the various kinds of translation, many scholars have debated the difficulty even impossibility of literary translation, especially Poetry. Translation of poetry requires the preservation of the specific aesthetic and expressive value when the work is transferred from the source language to the target language, which may be changed or altered after translating the work. This study discusses the different linguistic, cultural, and aesthetic issues in translating poetry. This study also discusses the translation issues in the Filipino translation of William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18.  The study shows the complications and sometimes impossibility in translating poetry as compared to other literary works like prose. This study is significant as it encourages experimental strategies that can show the uniqueness of translation as a linguistic and cultural practice.As a result, it can be concluded that the task of the translator is not to express what is to be conveyed but to find the intended effect upon the language into which she/he is translating in a way that leads to produce the echo of the original, even though it is impossible to be able to create a replica of the original text.
Genetic Mutations Pai-1 4G/4G and ACE D/D that Reduce Fibrinolysis are responsible for most Serious Pregnancy Complications and Abortions and are Best treated with S/C LMW Heparin and Aspirin
Authors: A. Pierides FRCP  , G. Solomou  , A. Kakoura  , G. Maos  , D. Mavromoustakis  , S. Riris  , C. Riris  , C. Stylianides  , Tasso Christofides
Published: April 2021

Background: Abortions, stillbirths, PET and other serious pregnancy complications cause more than 3-4 million pregnancy failures annually worldwide. Hypofibrinolytic and thrombophilia mutations are responsible for a large number of these events.

Methods: A study of 11 such genetic mutations (Table 5) in 26 Cypriot ladies after failed pregnancies from serious complications, stillbirths and abortions was carried out between 2006 and 2020. All 26 ladies had significant hypo fibrinolysis and thrombophilia mutations. Hypofibrinolytic mutation PAI-1 4G/4G, was the commonest (X2 p=0.0052) with 11 ladies, 9 of them also ACE D/D positive. Factor V Leiden was present in 5 ladies (X2 p=ns).

Clinical results: After the diagnosis of hypo fibrinolysis ± thrombophilia, 19 of these 26 ladies proceeded with 1-2 more pregnancies using LMW s/c heparin and oral aspirin, all with healthy babies. The remaining 7 ladies were too stressed for another pregnancy. 12 ladies were referred after PET, 2 with stillbirths and 9 after caesareans with birthweights at 700, 900, 950, 1050+1080, 1200, 1250, 2050, 2080 and 2200g. One baby developed mental retardation. The 12th lady with PET at 20 weeks, was immediately treated with LMW s/c heparin and had a healthy baby at 32 weeks. The remaining 14 ladies had other earlier pregnancy complications, 9 of them ending as abortions. Three ladies had their pregnancies saved with an instant mutational study and therapy with LMW heparin, leading to healthy babies.

Conclusion: Hypofrinolytic mutations PAI-1 4G/4G and ACE D/D are serious mutations leading to abortions and pregnancy complications and should always be taken seriously in pregnancy. Thrombophilia mutations Factor V Leiden, Factor VR2, prothrombin G20210A, and MTHFR also lead to complicated pregnancies but less frequently. LMW s/c heparin in pregnancies with such mutations saves lives. It would be ideal if these mutations were always studied prior to every first pregnancy.

The claim that chemistry has been explained in terms of quantum theory is received wisdom. Yet quantum physics is unable to explain the strong association of water molecules in liquid or ice. Marc Henry suggests the hydrogen bond is an emergent property of matter resulting from a non-linear coupling between quantified energy levels of water molecules and a quantified internal electromagnetic field.

In biomedical research, good news is not only admired but indispensable. Negative results are less likely to be published than positive results; the trend is increasing at the rate of about six percent per year. A 2014 survey of social scientists found them largely unwilling to pass along bad news: “Why bother?” was the most commonly given explanation.

Pneumatologi Religionum dalam Pemikiran Stanley J. Samartha dan Amos Yong
Authors: Pranoto Minggus Minarto
Published: April 2021

Penulisan ini bertujuan untuk mendialogkan pneumatologi religionum dari Stanley J. Samartha dan Amos Yong. Teolog pertama berasal dari konteks India dengan Hindu sebagai agama mayoritas dan termasuk dalam kelompok ekumenikal dan pluralisme. Samartha menekankan karya Roh Kudus tanpa menghubungkan dengan Yesus Kristus dalam hal keselamatan. Sedangkan teolog kedua berasal dari Malaysia tetapi ia lebih banyak melakukan teologi dalam konteks Amerika Utara dan tergabung dalam denominasi Pentakostal-Karismatik dalam kelompok teologi pembaharuan yang mengembangkan teologi Kristen dari dasar pneumatologi Trinitaris. Penulis menggunakan metode yang berfungsi untuk menggali pemikiran para teolog di atas dan mencari konvergensi dan divergensi dari sudut pandang kedua teolog tersebut. Kedua perspektif mengenai pneumatologi religionum tersebut akan didialogkan dan kemudian akan digunakan untuk mencapai beberapa kesimpulan yang pada akhirnya semakin memperkuat iman Kristen dan keterbukaan terhadap para pemeluk iman lain.
Metal-free glycosylation with glycosyl fluorides in liquid SO2

Published: April 2021

Liquid SO2 is a polar solvent that dissolves both covalent and ionic compounds. Sulfur dioxide possesses also Lewis acid properties, including the ability to covalently bind Lewis basic fluoride ions in a relatively stable fluorosulfite anion (FSO2−). Herein we report the application of liquid SO2 as a promoting solvent for glycosylation with glycosyl fluorides without any external additive. By using various temperature regimes, the method is applied for both armed and disarmed glucose and mannose-derived glycosyl fluorides in moderate to excellent yields. A series of pivaloyl-protected O- and S-mannosides, as well as one example of a C-mannoside, are synthesized to demonstrate the scope of the glycosyl acceptors. The formation of the fluorosulfite species during the glycosylation with glycosyl fluorides in liquid SO2 is proved by 19F NMR spectroscopy. A sulfur dioxide-assisted glycosylation mechanism that proceeds via solvent separated ion pairs is proposed, whereas the observed α,β-selectivity is substrate-controlled and depends on the thermodynamic equilibrium.
GENDER ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN COASTAL CITY

Published: April 2021

Abstract: The purpose of this study is gender economic development, labor force participation, unemployment, and education. The research method uses descriptive qualitative supported by quantitative data. the results of this study that the community understood enough about the concept of gender, gender equality and gender mainstreaming. women and men seem to understand women better than men. This can be seen from the results of data analysis. In terms of the notion of gender, there are still varied opinions, signifying the struggle for a variety of understandings about gender concepts. In terms of whether or not they agree with gender equality, there are still those who say disagree even though the number is small at 20.50% and when compared to that number men are greater (13.67%) than women (6.83%). because most men mentioned because women would feel no longer uncomfortable with men. From this it can be said that there is still a patriarchal culture, which considers women to feel uncomfortable facing men, men should be more authoritative, than women, where it should not have happened if they understood the concept of gender. In the end, it can be said that in general, they are conceptually aware of the concept of gender equality or gender mainstreaming but in reality, their perceptions are still influenced by the culture of male domination.

The researchers discuss the first experience of treating 9 pediatric patients with osteoid osteoma (3), primary chronic osteomyelitis (4) and aneurysmal cysts (2). Selected patients had complex treatment which included unloading of the diseased segment of the skeleton and laser ablation of the pathological focus. Laser ablation was done with medical laser «AZOR-ALM», emitting light at wavelength 1.55 μm. Registration certificate No. RZN 2015/2720 of Roszdravnadzor. Manufacturer – LLC «AZOR» (Moscow). Small tumors and inflammatory diseases of the skeleton were surgically treated with high-level laser light in the computed tomography room. Patients with lesions of lower extremities and pelvis previously had spinal anesthesia. If a pathologic focus was located in bones of upper extremities, regional brachial plexus blockage was preferable. In all cases, positive outcomes were seen. Follow-up lasted for 6 months.

Rationale. The existing techniques for treating skin capillary angiodysplasias, including «laser» photodestruction, are not effective enough and often cause undesirable thermal damage and cicatricial deformities of the skin. Thus, the effective removal of this vascular pathology is still relevant and requires further solution.

Purpose. To study the nature of thermal injuries and wound regenerative processes after «green» laser irradiation with wavelength 525 nm so as to find out if it may be used for selective photodestruction of subepithelial pathological vascular structures, including angiodysplasias of skin capillaries.

Material and Methods. Scallops of alive white chickens were taken as a biological model of vascular structures for in vivo studies. An experimental solid-state laser generating «green» light with wavelength 525 nm was used. This laser light has similar peaks of the absorption coefficient of hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin which are found in skin capillaries. Features of damage and dynamics of regenerative process in the irradiated area were studied at the model of vascular structures using findings of morphological macroscopic and histological examinations.

Results. Findings of the present experimental trial have inspired that selective photodestruction of subepithelial vascular structures of scallops is possible with minimal damage to the epithelium, including growth zones. In irradiated areas, one could see whitening and smoothing of the surface due to closure of vessel lumens in the subepithelial zone and formation of collagenosis layer there, as well as epithelialization of wound surface in physiological terms without any formation of cicatricial deformation of the skin.

Conclusion. The selective effect of 525 nm «green» laser light at subepithelial vascular structures with minimal skin damage has been confirmed. It opens a way to apply this light for selective photodestruction of capillary angiodysplasias of the skin with good clinical and esthetic outcomes.

Published: April 2021

Purpose. To assess the effectiveness of curative complex consisting of photodynamic therapy (PDT) + intravenous laser blood irradiation (ILBI) + local tumor irradiation (TR) at hemostatic parameters at the initial stages of squamous cell skin cancer (SCSC).

Material and methods. The present work analyzes SCSC course in 185 patients who had outpatient and inpatient treatment in medical institutions of cities Engels and Saratov in 2015–2019. 129 (69.7%) males and 56 females (31.2%). Patients were divided into three groups. Group I – 74 (40%) patients who had combined treatment: surgery with wide tumor excision under intravenous anesthesia + PDT + ILBI + TR; Group II – 111 (60%) patients who had only surgical treatment. Group III was created for controlling and comparing the obtained laboratory parameters; it included 17 patients without established pathology.

Results. It was found out that hemostatic disorders in SCSC are characterized by increased activity of AT III and vWF and by simultaneous decrease of tPA-PAI-1 complex as well as by increased activity of VIIIa factor and resistance of Va factor – indices which indicate dysfunction of endothelial vascular wall. Combination of PDT + ILBI + TR prior to surgical treatment in patients with squamous cell skin cancer at the initial stages of the disease allow to normalize homeostatic indices and reduce the number of complications.

Conclusion. 1. Squamous cell skin cancer at the initial stages changes the hemostatic system. 2. Effects of SCSC mechanism may be characterized as follows: damage of the endothelium vascular wall which is confirmed by endothelin increase; it results in vasoconstriction and increased blood procoagulant activity and, ultimately, in changes of hemostatic parameters. 3. Combination of PDT + ILBI + TR applied before surgery in patients with squamous cell skin cancer at the initial stages of the disease normalizes homeostatic indices and reduces the number of complications.
