Feinstaubemissionen aus Feuerwerk zu Silvester und deren Einfluss auf die Luftqualität/Particulate Matter Emissions from New Year’s Eve Fireworks and their Influence on Air Quality – Novel Method for Quantification of Emissions
Authors: Schragen Christian , Kuntze David , Kessinger Susan , Keller Fritz , Dauert Ute
Published: February 2022

Bis 2020 ermittelte und berichtete das Umweltbundesamt (UBA) die Emissionen aus dem Abbrand von Feuerwerk nach der im EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook beschriebenen Methode. Diese verwendet Emissionsfaktoren, die auf Expertenschätzungen beruhen. Nun liegen experimentell bestimmte Messwerte zu Feinstaubemissionen aus Feuerwerk vor, die der Verband der pyrotechnischen Industrie bei einem unabhängigen Prüfinstitut beauftragt hat. Zusammen mit der gleichzeitig präzisierten Ermittlung der Aktivitätsraten ergibt sich eine novellierte Methodik zur Berechnung von Feinstaubemissionen von Feuerwerk. Es zeigt sich, dass die EMEP/EEA-Methode die Emissionen stark überschätzt. Darüber hinaus stellt diese Arbeit die Auswirkungen der Feuerwerksemissionen auf die Luftqualität zu Silvester dar. Ergänzend zur neuen Methodik werden technische und gesetzliche Rahmenbedingungen aus dem deutschen Sprengstoff- und europäischen Pyrotechnik- und Chemikalienrecht erläutert. Mit diesem Artikel wird das komplexe Thema „Emissionen aus dem Abbrand von Feuerwerk“ wissenschaftlich und umfassend analysiert.
Orientierungslos durch den Nebel
Authors: Konersmann Rainer
Published: February 2022

Viele Verkehrsunfälle werden durch unmittelbare Witterungseinflüsse ausgelöst, durch eine plötzliche Verschlechterung der Sichtverhältnisse, z. B. durch Nebel. Er beeinflusst die Wahrnehmung und lässt Orientierungspunkte verschwimmen oder gänzlich unsichtbar werden. Oftmals kommt auch das Gefühl für die Geschwindigkeit abhanden. In solchen Situationen müssen die richtigen Entscheidungen getroffen werden, doch dies scheint nicht so einfach zu sein. Die größten Katastrophen in der Geschichte der Seefahrt sind durch Frontalkollisionen im Nebel verursacht worden. Kann es sein, dass selbst erfahrene Seeleute im Nebel links und rechts verwechselt haben? Gibt es vielleicht andere Gründe dafür, dass das Navigieren im Nebel problematisch ist? Der vorliegende Text gibt einen kleinen Überblick über Hintergründe und Ursachen.

Authors: Gonçalves Aylla Corrêa , Neiva Andreza Resende , Guilarducci Nathália Vital , Zago Isabella Ribeiro , Junior Clóvis Da Silva Melo , Almeida Rodrigo De Martin
Published: February 2022

Objetivo: A COVID-19 foi declarada pela Organização Mundial da Saúde como emergência de saúde pública em janeiro de 2020. Pelo fato de ser transmitida por meio de gotículas respiratórias da boca e do nariz, foram impostas estratégias de isolamento social. O impacto desse isolamento, juntamente com as preocupações sobre os riscos da infecção e suas consequências econômicas, apresentam um efeito nocivo sobre a saúde mental de grande parte da população, incluindo as mulheres grávidas, as quais já passam por um momento de instabilidade emocional e fisiológica, necessitando de maior atenção. Fonte dos dados: Realizou-se uma pesquisa nas bases de dados PubMed e Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, em Maio de 2021, utilizando os descritores "pregnancy", “pandemic”, “anxiety”. Os critérios de inclusão foram artigos de língua inglesa desde o início de 2020 e os de exclusão foram aqueles cujos título e resumo não se aplicavam à proposta deste estudo. Síntese dos dados: A análise dos estudos demonstra uma alta relação da COVID-19 com a ansiedade nas gestantes, bem como os fatores que desencadeiam os altos escores desse sentimento nessa população, entre eles o isolamento social, mudanças do pré-natal, medo da pandemia e de anomalias fetais. Conclusão: A ansiedade diante da COVID-19 é relevante para as gestantes, sendo necessária maior assistência à saúde da mulher nesse momento. Ainda, é importante a realização de novos estudos, promovendo intervenção antecipada nessa população, para que o cuidado da gestante e do feto apresente um ganho quantitativo e qualitativo, otimizando esse cenário da saúde pública.
Probing the High-energy Gamma-Ray Emission Mechanism in the Vela Pulsar via Phase-resolved Spectral and Energy-dependent Light-curve Modeling
Authors: Barnard Monica , Venter Christo , Harding Alice K. , Kalapotharakos Constantinos , Johnson Tyrel J.
Published: February 2022

Recent kinetic simulations sparked a debate regarding the emission mechanism responsible for pulsed GeV γ-ray emission from pulsars. Some models invoke curvature radiation, while other models assume synchrotron radiation in the current sheet. We interpret the curved spectrum of the Vela pulsar as seen by H.E.S.S. II (up to ∼100 GeV) and the Fermi Large Area Telescope to be the result of curvature radiation due to primary particles in the pulsar magnetosphere and current sheet. We present phase-resolved spectra and energy-dependent light curves using an extended slot gap and current-sheet model, invoking a step function for the accelerating electric field as motivated by kinetic simulations. We include a refined calculation of the curvature radius of particle trajectories in the lab frame, impacting the particle transport, predicted light curves, and spectra. Our model reproduces the decrease of the flux of the first peak relative to the second one, evolution of the bridge emission, near-constant phase positions of peaks, and narrowing of pulses with increasing energy. We can explain the first of these trends because we find that the curvature radii of the particle trajectories in regions where the second γ-ray light-curve peak originates are systematically larger than those associated with the first peak, implying that the spectral cutoff of the second peak is correspondingly larger. However, an unknown azimuthal dependence of the E field, as well as uncertainty in the precise spatial origin of the GeV emission, precludes a simplistic discrimination of emission mechanisms.

Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND: Quality of life (QoL) related to health is an important aspect in the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM).

AIM: This study aims to find a relationship between blood pressure and QoL of patients with DM Type 2 by controlling other variables.

METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study of DM patients in Bogor City who were community-based participants with inclusion and exclusion criteria. The QoL data were collected using DM QoL modification questionnaire. Statistical analyses were performed using logistic regression.

RESULTS: The result of the study conducted on 144 people with DM, more than half of the patients had hypertension (68.1%), adults aged 25–60 years (69.4%), women (79.9%), low education with <12 years of education year (62.5%), not working formally (66.0%), married (77.8%), and getting treatment (75.7%). The QoL of patients is balanced between good and poor QoL (50%). Based on the results of the bivariate test, blood pressure, education, and marital status had a significant relationship to QoL (p < 0.05). Based on multivariate test results, the OR value for blood pressure does not increase or decrease by more than 10% in the full model or partially, this indicates that the effect of pressure on QoL is relatively stable (OR = 0.293).

CONCLUSION: DM patients who are not hypertensive can be a protective factor against poor QoL. The multivariate final model shows that the variable that greatly influences the QoL is education (OR = 3.63). Blood pressure, education, and married have a significant relationship to the QoL of patients with DM (p < 0.05). Age, sex, occupation, and therapy were not statistically related (p > 0.05).

Authors: Kata Faris , Alsulaitti Saad W. , Adlan Muneera M.
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis is defining as a common chronic and inflammatory disorder of systematic autoimmune disease. Leptin is a small peptide hormone involved in the inflammatory and immunomodulators processes of several diseases.

AIM: The study aimed at evaluating the level of leptin and Vascular Cell Adhesion Protein 1 (VCAM-1) and proves that they act as vital markers in the serum of rheumatoid arthritis.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, 80 serum samples from women were obtains (56 serum samples were distributing for women with rheumatoid arthritis and 24 serum samples for uninfected women who were considered a healthy group).

RESULTS: There are no significant difference in the concentration of the leptin hormone in the serum of both patients and healthy women, and that age, period, and severity of the disease had no effect on the level of leptin hormone. However, the results confirmed that at the probability level p < 0.05 the VCAM-1 concentration increased significantly in patients’ serum when compared with the healthy group, and demonstrated that age groups only affected the VCAM-1 biomarker level.

CONCLUSIONS: Our current study concludes that leptin levels in the serum were not impacts by the inflammatory state in patients with rheumatism, whereas VCAM-1 level in rheumatic patients may be associate with inflammatory reactions.
Hypothesis testing on the planktic foraminiferal survival model after the KPB mass extinction: evidence from Tunisia and Algeria
Authors: Arenillas Ignacio , Arz José A. , Metsana-Oussaid Fariza , Gilabert Vicente , Belhai Djelloul
Published: February 2022

A historical review of the extinction, survival, and evolutionary models of planktic foraminifera proposed for the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary (KPB) mass extinction event sometimes leaves the impression that there is still no conclusive evidence to support any single one of them. Two main models have been put forward: i) catastrophic mass extinction, almost total for some authors, compatible with the geologically instantaneous paleoenvironmental effects of a large meteorite impact (Chicxulub impact, Mexico); and ii) gradual mass extinction, compatible with the paleoenvironmental effects of massive, long-lasting volcanism (Deccan Traps, India). Over the years, a lot of evidence has been proposed supporting one hypothesis or the other, highlighting isotopic (δ18O, δ13C, 87Sr/86Sr) as well as taphonomic, biostratigraphic, quantitative (relative and/or absolute abundance), phylogenetic, and even teratological. We review previous planktic foraminiferal and stable isotope studies, and provide new quantitative and statistical tests from two pelagic sections: the El Kef section (Tunisia), recognized as the most continuous and expanded lowermost Danian section worldwide, and the Sidi Ziane section (Algeria), affected by relevant hiatus in the lower Danian. The results indicate that all the latest Maastrichtian planktic foraminiferal species except those of Guembelitria went extinct exactly at the KPB, supporting the hypothesis of an almost total extinction. In the light of this new evidence, we maintain that the Maastrichtian planktic foraminiferal specimens found worldwide in lower Danian samples could be the result of similar reworking and vertical mixing processes to those at El Kef and Sidi Ziane.

This article describes the complex work of registered nurses (RNs) in current healthcare settings and presents strategies for promoting healthy work environments in the midst of this complexity. First it addresses the complexity in delivering patient care by reviewing recent research on the work of nursing and explaining the concept of RN stacking. Then it considers four important activities for supporting RN decision making and establishing a healthy work environment, namely, “designing out” system barriers to care, designing and implementing appropriate technology, focusing on nursing direct care functions, and supporting the new RN.
Influenza Vaccination in Healthcare Workers: Should it be Mandatory?
Authors: Sullivan Paula
Published: February 2022

Since 1981 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that healthcare workers receive vaccination against influenza in an effort to reduce transmission of the virus to their colleagues and to the vulnerable people in their care. To date inadequate progress has been made in terms of increasing yearly healthcare worker influenza vaccination rates. In this article the author reviews influenza epidemiology, prevention, vaccination, and evidence related to vaccination benefits; and discusses the elimination of barriers to vaccination. Voluntary interventions to increase vaccination rates are described. The benefits and challenges of mandatory vaccination, including both mandating of individual vaccination and institutional vaccination programs are reviewed. In the conclusion, the author advocates for rejecting mandatory individual vaccination and supporting institutional mandates that protect the right of the individual to decline vaccination for religious, medical, or philosophical reasons.
L’arrêt de mort
Authors: Alloa Emmanuel
Published: February 2022

Promettant à la fois la capture de l’instant et son dépassement vers l’intemporel, le medium photographique voit son destin intimement lié à la catégorie du temps. L’article suggère cependant que cette inclusion du temps dans l’image s’est acquise, au cours de l’histoire de la photographie, au prix d’une essentialisation du momentané. À rebours d’une telle approche, il s’agit de repenser l’instantané photographique comme découlant de l’accident, si bien que la photo figure non plus l’instant fécond, mais bien le temps de l’accident, qui correspond, dans tous les sens du terme, à un arrêt de mort.

Points de vue sur la jeunesse – Volume 4
Authors: Nagy Ádám , Fazekas Anna
Published: February 2022

Un groupe d’âge est considéré comme une génération s’il présente en commun certaines qualités immanentes, connaissances générationnelles et caractéristiques communautaires. À cette fin, trois conditions sont nécessaires : une expérience commune, une réelle orientation mutuelle de ses membres et une interprétation partagée de leur situation, mentalités et formes d’action (Mannheim, 1978). Prensky a interprété l’appartenance à un groupe d’âge en lien avec la société de l’information (2011). Nous examinons le développement du modèle de Prensky, « natifs numériques-immigrants numériques », et nous l’intégrons au modèle de Howe et Strauss (1991), selon lequel le changement générationnel au sens de Mannheim se fait dans la société environ tous les 15 à 20 ans. Selon une théorie de la socialisation (Nagy, 2013b), les loisirs et les médias sont censés jouer le même rôle dans la société postmoderne que le faisaient la socialisation scolaire dans la société moderne et la famille à l’ère prémoderne. Ainsi, à partir des données relatives au temps libre de la jeunesse, on peut essayer de brosser un portrait des jeunes générations (Y et Z) d’aujourd’hui à travers leurs activités et leur utilisation des médias, confirmant par là même les différences entre les générations. En l’espèce, nous utilisons des données hongroises car elles proviennent d’une grande étude sur la jeunesse réalisée tous les quatre ans depuis 15 ans (Ifjúság, 2000 ; Ifjúság, 2004 ; Ifjúság, 2008 ; Magyar Ifjúság, 2012). Nous obtenons alors un aperçu sur un échantillon de 8 000 personnes qui est représentatif de l’âge, du genre et du type d’habitat des jeunes hongrois selon leurs situations et leurs modes de vie.

Cómo vivir con robots: sentir, pensar y actuar
Authors: López Castro Daniel
Published: February 2022

De forma progresiva y paulatina, pero aparentemente inevitable, el desarrollo de la robótica avanza y se integra cada vez más en nuestras vidas. A diferencia del enfoque industrial, concebido para entornos cerrados y predecibles, la robótica interactiva opera en entornos abiertos, complejos y caóticos en los que el ser humano pasa a estar en el centro del diseño. Esta transición, de lo industrial a lo personal, pero también a lo social, amplía el alcance de la investigación tradicional a múltiples disciplinas y trae consigo nuevos desafíos tanto éticos como tecnocientíficos. Lo que se pretende en este artículo es, precisamente, realizar una cartografía de los mismos a partir de un diálogo con sus protagonistas. Para este propósito, a nivel conceptual, partiremos de una metáfora característica a la hora de plantear dimensiones básicas de un robot, esto es, asumir que, al igual que nosotros, estos sienten, piensan y actúan. Así, desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar, trazaremos una narrativa que muestra las posibilidades y las limitaciones de este enfoque a la vez que ilustra sus implicaciones.
Robótica Inclusiva: rendimiento económico y empleo
Authors: Sánchez-Urán Azaña María Yolanda
Published: February 2022

En el contexto actual los juristas están obligados a comprender el fenómeno de la digitalización. Para ello, deben primero, entenderlo, definirlo y delimitarlo y, luego, explicarlo y analizarlo para proponer soluciones justas y equitativas. Este concepto global abarca múltiples realidades, cada una con sus propias características y su impacto particular, en concreto en el ámbito del trabajo como fuente de identidad personal y social. Desde hace tiempo, instituciones públicas y privadas, internacionales, europeas y nacionales como la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE), la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT), el World Economic Forum (WEF) y la Unión Europea (UE), entre otras, realizan estudios, informes y análisis periódicos de la situación. En particular, y en lo que concierne a la Robótica, han traspasado el ámbito específico del sector industrial, para intentar identificar el impacto de tecnologías que replican en las máquinas procesos cognitivos similares a los humanos, desde una triple perspectiva: ética, legal y socioeconómica. Así, se hace hincapié en su proyección en la configuración y definición del trabajo; en los diferentes modelos o formas de trabajo, profundamente alterados hoy por la automatización o digitalización; y en las condiciones en las que las y los trabajadores prestan sus servicios. Desde esta triple perspectiva, admitiendo que los robots y los sistemas de inteligencia artificial (IA) son unos de los grandes inventos verdaderamente disruptivos del entorno digital y que han venido para quedarse, este estudio se centra en la Robótica Inclusiva, contribuyendo de este modo al entendimiento del cambio tecnológico actual al reflexionar sobre algunas de las cuestiones que este plantea para el Derecho.
Valoraciones éticas para una inteligencia artificial adecuada a la privacidad
Authors: Morte Ferrer Ricardo
Published: February 2022

Desde hace ya bastante tiempo existe una tendencia a afirmar que el derecho o las normas de diferente tipo no son adecuadas o aplicables para las diferentes nuevas tecnologías que van apareciendo de forma continua (computación en la nube, big data, Internet de las cosas, robots, inteligencia artificial...). Este trabajo intentará dar la vuelta a ese razonamiento y, centrándose en la inteligencia artificial, tratará de plantear criterios adecuados para que esa tecnología y muchas otras sean desarrolladas y aplicadas de forma adecuada a los derechos fundamentales en general y a la privacidad en particular. Dentro de esos criterios se analizará lo que debe aportar la explicabilidad de la tecnología mencionada (requisito introducido por diferentes grupos de expertos) y se profundizará en algunos conceptos adicionales como la posibilidad y la necesidad de controlar (hasta el punto de poder detener en cualquier momento un sistema de inteligencia artificial) y de auditar sistemas de inteligencia artificial. Para realizar la mencionada profundización se recurrirá a lo que se conoce como objetivos de protección (disponibilidad, confidencialidad, integridad, transparencia, no encadenabilidad y capacidad de intervenir) y a los principios de la ciberética, incluyendo una referencia especial a la sostenibilidad y a la resiliencia de este tipo de sistemas.

By the method of thermal oxidation of n-type CuInSe2 crystals, n - n+ structures with a maximum absolute current photosensitivity of up to 10 mA / W were obtained at low rectification and no-load photovoltage. The used modes of thermal oxidation led to the formation of n-type layers on the surface of the n-CuInSe2 plates, the resistivity of which is 2-2.5 times higher concerning the initial substance. Measurements of the stationary current-voltage characteristics have shown that the structures obtained have a slight rectification K. All the structures obtained exhibit photosensitivity, which dominates when illuminated from the side of the layer in the spectral region of about 1 eV. The optimization of the process can reveal the technological possibilities of a significant improvement in the rectifying properties of isotypic structures based on CuInSe2.

The paper presents the results of experimental studies of the electro-optical properties ofβ-Tl1-xCuxInS2(0 X 0,015) single crystals. It was found that in measurements of the induced birefringence, the transmission of the polarizer - crystal - analyzer (P-C-A) system is nonzero both for the presence of an external electricE= 0 and in its absence, which is apparently associated with the presence of internal fields arising in crystals during their growth ().

The paper presents the results of research on creating a high-strength cement composite using a complex additive. The optimal concentrations of additives of the Odolit-K hyper plasticizer in combination with bentonite have been determined. A significant decrease in the w / c ratio and an increase in the cement stone's strength was obtained. High-strength cement composites have been obtained with the optimal content of the complex additive. The volume-weighted average crystallite sizes were calculated using the Scherrer formula on the basis of X-ray studies. Deformation diagrams of statically loaded samples of prisms of the basic and control compositions of high-strength concrete were obtained. Deformation diagrams are investigated.
Compositions for Limestone Restoration
Authors: Loganina Valentina , Zaytseva Maria V.
Published: February 2022

Information about the lime composition used for the restoration of limestone is given. To develop a repair composition, a polysilicate solution was used. It has been established that polysilicate solutions contain a monomer, oligomer and polymeric varieties of silica. It was found by the molybdate method that the content of the polymeric form of silica γ-SiO2 in the polysilicate solution is 15–19.93%, depending on the content of the silica sol. This composition of the polysilicate solution contributes to the manifestation of the high reactivity of silica. The technology for carrying out restoration work involves the application of a primer layer - liquid glass, followed by the application of a calcium chloride solution. After 20-30 minutes after applying the primer, it is possible to apply the repair composition with a spatula. It is shown that the use of a polysilicate solution in the formulation of a lime composition helps to increase the water resistance, adhesion strength of the composition to the base, and accelerates curing.
Post-Earthquake Realignment and Repairs: A Novel Application for Structural Control and Health Monitoring
Authors: Minassian Armen , Sedighi Siavash , Kamizi Mozhgan , Grigorian Mark
Published: February 2022

Structural health monitoring and control (SHMC) for Post-earthquake realignment and repairs (PERR) is one of the most challenging issues facing earthquake engineers worldwide. Currently, neither SHMC nor PERR are parts of contemporary curricula and codes of practice. The ultimate aim of SHMC is to help achieve a viable degree of structural sustainability (SS) under predictable environmental conditions. In the present context SHMC refers to the effort that aims at achieving structural operability before and after severe earthquakes. SHMC is generally associated with the use of piezoelectric sensors to measure changes in stresses and strains of critical elements of important engineering structures. Regardless of the effectiveness of the SHMC systems no structure can lend itself well to PERR or remain seismically sustainable unless it has been designed specifically for the purpose, otherwise it would be disposable with no gains from the SHMC effort. A SS structure is one that can be designed to prevent actual collapse, overcome residual effects and lend itself well to PERR. All indications are that the use of multifunction design in conjunction with SHMC can lead to the evolution of viable SS archetypes. The purpose of the current article is to introduce a practical basis for efficient use of SHMC concepts in multi-objective earthquake resisting structures (ERSs).

Non-observance of the heat and humidity regime in buildings can lead to significant problems such as the formation of condensation on the internal surfaces of the enclosing structures, which not only destroys the construction of the building but also leads to the formation of mould, fungi that are dangerous for human life and health. In addition, the use of construction or thermal insulation materials in a humid environment increases the energy consumption as a result of which the building's energy efficiency is reduced. In this paper considered the impact of the heat and humidity regime on the construction and thermal insulation materials, and also presents a developed new structure of an air dryer dehumidifier. The results of the study showed that an increase in the moisture content of the construction material by 10%, the thermal conductivity of the material increases from 6% to 60%, which will significantly increase the heating and cooling demand of the building. The developed new structure of the air dehumidifier reduces the humidity of the air, without using additional equipment, or substance such as refrigerant or absorbent. The proposed device significantly reduces capital and operating costs.

Fasciolosis is caused by digenean trematodes of the genus Fasciola. The principal definitive hosts are cattle, sheep and goats. Humans are infected as accidental hosts. Fasciolosis is one of the major neglected tropical diseases and is considered an emerging zoonotic infection. This study was aimed at determining the prevalence of human and domestic animal fasciolosis in selected counties in Kenya. Stool samples for Fasciola diagnosis were collected from humans and domestic animals and transported to the laboratory at Egerton University and processed using sedimentation technique and examined for the presence of eggs. A total of 272 human samples collected were all negative for Fasciola eggs. A total of 582 domestic animals (cattle (46.0%), sheep (29.9%) and goats (24.1%)) samples collected had overall prevalence of 30.9% for Fasciola infection. There was no significant differences (p0.05) between prevalence of fasciolosis and origin of the animals, sex and season. There was a significant difference (p0.05) between the prevalence of fasciolosis and domestic animals, age and body condition. The prevalence of fasciolosis was high in two irrigation schemes which favor the breeding of intermediate host snail and grazing of animals along the irrigation canals where metacercaria of Fasciola parasites could be present on the vegetation. Though human fasciolosis was not detected in this study, the presence of animal fasciolosis can pose public health risk because of its zoonotic nature. It is therefore, important to introduce measures which would assist reduce exposure of animals to Fasciola infection.

Introduction:

Formalin is the most commonly used fixative which enables for long-term storage of specimens and preserves morphologic features allowing the microscopic evaluation for future research analysis. Archival collections of the tissue serve as a reliable tool for diagnostic research purpose. They have an important role in on-going patient care, allows for evaluation of recurrent cases for diagnostic purpose and rare case specimens can also be used as an educational tool as well as for further biomedical research purposes. However, studies assessing quality and their usefulness for such purposes are scanty. Hence, the present study is aimed at evaluating and comparing the tissue changes after long-term storage in formalin as well as in paraffin-embedded blocks.

Methodology:

Three study groups include specimens stored in formalin for a minimum of 5 years (long-term fixed tissue) and their corresponding paraffin-embedded old tissue blocks along with freshly fixed tissues taken as controls which were subjected to routine histopathological procedures and were assessed for macroscopic and microscopic evaluation. Chi-square test and Z-proportion tests were considered for statistical analysis.

Results:

Prolonged storage of the tissues in formalin showed variation in color and consistency, difficulty in cutting during grossing with inadequate sectioning characters, loss of tissue integrity and architecture, and inadequate nuclear and cytoplasmic details.

Conclusion:

On histological analysis, prolonged formalin-stored specimens showed deleterious effects than archival blocks. Hence, it can be proposed that tissues are better preserved in paraffin blocks rather than in formalin for further biomedical research purposes.
Knowledge and Attitude towards, and the Utilisation of Cervical and Breast Cancer Screening Services by Female Healthcare Professionals at a Tertiary Care Hospital of Eastern India
Authors: Subba Sonu Hangma , Parida Swayam Pragyan , Sahu Dinesh Prasad , Kumari Janki
Published: February 2022

Background:

Breast and cervical cancers are the two leading causes of cancer-specific mortality and morbidity amongst Indian women. Screening methods are cost-effective. However, the uptake of screening methods in India is very low. Knowledge and attitude of healthcare professionals (HCPs) play an important role in reducing the mortality related to cancer.

Materials and Methods:

This study aimed to assess the knowledge and utilisation of screening methods for cervical and breast cancer and to elaborate barriers for non-utilisation amongst female HCPs, both doctors and nurses. A cross-sectional study was carried out from April to July 2017 in a tertiary healthcare hospital of eastern India amongst 200 female HCPs using a pre-designed, pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20.0. Statistical tests such as proportion and mean were calculated and the Chi-square test was used as a test of significance for categorical variables.

Results:

Clinical breast examination and mammography were practiced by only 26.5% and 7% of respondents, respectively. Only seven doctors and one nurse had ever undergone Pap smear. More than 90% of respondents knew risk factors, signs and symptoms and the availability of screening tools for the detection of cervical and breast carcinoma.

Conclusions:

The utilisation of breast and cervical cancer screening was unsatisfactory despite having good knowledge of the preventable cancers and screening methods amongst HCPs. There is a need for attitudinal change amongst HCPs by continuous sensitisation programmes.

COVID19 has left a crisis in the economy around the world, being a highly contagious virus and not having adequate control, it spread through many countries, which is why it was declared a pandemic on March 11th , 2020, by the World Organization of health (WHO). Until the beginning of May 2021, more than 153 million people have been infected and it has caused more than 3.2 million deaths around the world. In Peru, the first case was confirmed on March 6th, 2020, with the number of cases rapidly increasing and the first fatalities appearing on March 19 (three on the same day) and two in the following days. With this, COVID19 made us see how in our country the health system was not prepared to face a problem of such magnitude, therefore, naked the terrible health situation in Peru. In view of this problem, in this article the design of a body temperature measurement system applied to the health center staff was carried out, in such a way that it measures the body temperature of each person who enters the health center, with this, we would have greater control and in addition to helping to avoid spreading the virus that currently continues in our environment. Through the design of the system, it was observed that the system worked in the best way by making the personnel in charge aware of the measurements made by the system.

Cassava Phytoplasma Disease (CPD) is a crop disease that reduces cassava output and quality. As a result, detection is essential in precision agriculture. On the greater area of the cassava field, manual identification of CPD illnesses takes more time and effort. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), a deep learning method, may be used to detect illnesses on leaves and other sections of cassava plants with greater accuracy. The approaches utilized in this study assisted in the identification of CPD by completing customized training/fine-tuning on three CNN models for object recognition: Faster R-CNN, SSD Mobilenet v2, and YOLO v4. The Faster R-CNN inception v2 has a 95 percent training accuracy, SSD Mobilenet v2 has a 73 percent training accuracy, and YOLOv4 has an 85 percent training accuracy, according to the data. Finally, the study found that the YOLOv4 outperforms the Faster R-CNN inception v2 and SSD MobileNet v2 in terms of image computing capacity. However, Faster R-CNN inception v2 performs the best compared to the two other models in terms of accuracy. Hence, these two models can be used depending on the purpose of CPD detection. However, since CPD detection is the main purpose of this study, the Faster R-CNN model is recommended for adoption to detect CPD in a real-time environment.
