Authors: Kumari Varsha , Kumar Birendra
Published: January 2021

Some ripe mangoes were collected from the mango orchard located at Digha in Patna district, in Patna of Bihar. The pulp and peels of these mangoes were separated and they were lyophilized and stored at 20°C and thereafter they were analyzed separately for total phenolics in the pulp and the peels of these mangoes of Maldah Cultivar (principle). The total content of phenolics in the pulp and peels of the ripe Maldah mangoes were estimated using folin-ciocatten reagent at 75 nm in an UV-Vis Spectrophotometer using galic acid for expressing the standard curve and subsequently the total result was expressed as mg GAE (Galic Acid Equivalent/100g of fresh weight). Surprisingly the result shows the greater content of phenolics in peels in respect of the pulps.

Authors: SANKAR V.HIMA , PANIGRAHY L. , PADHI S.K. , PATTNAIK P.K.
Published: January 2021

The most important criterion while designing wireless sensor network is the consumption of energy[5,6,7]. There are many schemes cited for conservation of energy issues[1,2,8]. Again the efficient minimal energy consumption routing schemes are an important consideration. In this paper, we have proposed an energy saving scheme, named as minimal energy efficient routing (MEER) Protocol, which uses GSP (Gossip based sleep Protocol) to achieve energy efficiency in sensor networks. Here, we have compared our work with the existing work given by GSP[1] . We have shown the correctness & effectiveness of our protocol by mathematical simulation studies.
Comparative Study on Thresholding
Authors: Singh K.C. , Satapathy Lalit Mohan , Dash Bibhudatta , Routray S.K.
Published: January 2021

Criterion based thresholding algorithms are simple and effective for two-level thresholding. However, if a multilevel thresholding is needed, the computational complexity will exponentially increase and the performance may become unreliable. In this approach, a novel and more effective method is used for multilevel thresholding by taking hierarchical cluster organization into account. Developing a dendogram of gray levels in the histogram of an image, based on the similarity measure which involves the inter-class variance of the clusters to be merged and the intra-class variance of the new merged cluster . The bottom-up generation of clusters employing a dendogram by the proposed method yields good separation of the clusters and obtains a robust estimate of the threshold. Such cluster organization will yield a clear separation between object and background even for the case of nearly unimodal or multimodal histogram. Since the hierarchical clustering method performs an iterative merging operation, it is extended to multilevel thresholding problem by eliminating grouping of clusters when the pixel values are obtained from the expected numbers of clusters. This paper gives a comparison on Otsu’s & Kwon’s criterion with hierarchical based multi-level thresholding.

Published: January 2021

Cognitive radios are expected to perform spectrum sensing and communication in the frequency range of tens of megahertz to about 10 GHz. As such, they pose tough architecture and circuit design problems. This paper deals with issues such as broadband, low-noise amplification, multidecade carrier frequency synthesis, and spectrum sensing. The paper also describes the effect of nonlinearity and local oscillator harmonics, demonstrating that cognitive radios entail more difficult challenges than do software-defined radios. Multi-decade synthesis techniques and RF-assisted sensing methods are also presented.
Minimize Logic Synthesis FPGA – Extraction And Substitution Problems
Authors: Nhan Nguyen Huu Khanh , M Malinichev D.
Published: January 2021

The objective of multi-level logic synthesis of FPGA is to find the “best” multi-level structure, where “best” in this case means an equivalent presentation that is optimal with respect to various parameters such as size, speed or power consumption... Five basic operations are used in order to reach this goal: decomposition, extraction, factoring, substitution and collapsing. In this paper we propose a novel application of Walsh spectral transformation to the evaluation of Boolean function correlation. In particular, we present an algorithm with approach to solve the problems of extraction and substitution based on the use of Walsh spectral presentation. The method, operating in the transform domain, has appeared to be more advantageous than traditional approaches, using operations in the Boolean domain, concerning both memory occupation and execution time on some classes of functions.
Intelligent Control For Locating Fault in Transmission Lines
Authors: Dutta Abhijit A , Rao M.M. , Kadu A.N.
Published: January 2021

This paper presents a new approach for locating fault in transmission line using intelligent control relaying. Fault must be detected at its inception by issuing an output signal indicating this condition. Neural network approach for locating fault can be posed as a pattern-recognition to recognize pure sinusoidal signals as indicators of a normal system condition; abrupt changes of amplitude, phase, or the presence of transient components as indicators of fault. This method uses the fundamental frequency components of voltage and current basically current at pre-fault and post fault condition, measured at each phase from any one end of the selected power system. In this approach the data sets were trained using the available data from the system which comprises of different fault types data, and fault inception angles. This approach of locating fault using intelligent control can be used for supporting a new generation of very high speed protective relaying system.

Approaches to Health Research Priority Setting in the Philippines across the Years
Authors: Generale Alain Jason A. , Sales Reneepearl Kim P. , Dizon Teddy S. , Feranil Alan B.
Published: January 2021

Background. As one of the research councils under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), health research priority setting has been the mandate of the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) since its establishment in 1982. The development of the National Unified Health Research Agenda (NUHRA) convenes the major stakeholders for health in the country to establish the priorities for health research. The NUHRA aims to address the most urgent health issues in the country for the generation of solutions to the health concerns of the country.

Objectives and Method. Through document review, this paper describes the approaches and lessons learned in research priority setting since the establishment of the Philippine National Health Research System.

Results. The Philippines has employed a bottoms-up, top-down, and a combination of both approaches to develop its health research agenda.

Conclusion. The health research agenda-setting must consider evolving funding sources, its link to production of researches with high probability of knowledge translation to health technology innovation, and policy formulation. Measuring the impact of the NUHRA to the health systems and health situation of the country is a difficult assessment, but the gradual change in healthcare technology utilization and evidence-informed policies towards health equity can be a subjective measurement of the NUHRA’s success.

Should laboratory markers be used for early prediction of severe and possibly fatal COVID-19?
Authors: Salido Evelyn O. , Remalante Patricia Pauline M.
Published: January 2021

KEY FINDINGS

Several laboratory tests are found to be associated with disease severity and mortality in COVID-19, and may be used to prognosticate patients and guide management.

• Around 20% of COVID-19 patients develop severe illness that may require intensive care and lead to fatal complications. This necessitates prioritization of patients requiring urgent medical care before disease progression.

• Certain laboratory markers (biomarkers) may reflect the processes involved in the clinical deterioration of infected patients. Hence, their use in the identification of patients at high risk of progression to severe disease or death has been investigated.

• Current available evidence shows that the following laboratory abnormalities in a person with COVID-19, especially when found early during hospitalization, are associated with severe or critical disease or mortality:

1. Markers of organ dysfunction

a. Reduced oxygen saturation

b. Elevated lactic dehydrogenase (LDH)

c. Elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) or serum creatinine

d. Elevated cardiac troponin (cTnI)

e. Elevated direct bilirubin, reduced albumin

f. High radiographic score or CT severity score, or consolidation on CT scan

2. Marker of abnormal coagulation – D-dimer

3. Markers of immune dysfunction

a. Elevated IL-6

b. Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP)

c. Elevated neutrophils

d. Reduced lymphocyte percentage

e. Reduced CD4+ T lymphocytes

4. Secondary bacterial infection – Elevated procalcitonin

• Proposed prediction models utilizing these markers, however, need further validation before they can be recommended for routine clinical use.

The lateral collateral ligament (LCL), which is part of the knee stabilizers, constitutes an important structure within the posterolateral complex of the same (CPL), which restricts the varus, in the flexion angles of this, especially at 30°, in addition to controlling external rotation. Lesions that affect this complex are infrequent, etiologically between 50-90% are associated with other ligamentous injuries with a predominance of 60% damage to the posterior cruciate ligament. The Larson technique is based on the reconstruction of the LCL and the popliteal complex, using a single proximal insertion in the femoral epicondyle.We present the case of a 28-year-old male patient, with no medical history, who attended due to a forced varus of the limb while performing sports activity and after receiving a direct impact on the internal lateral region of the right calf, after which he presented pain to passive movements and inability to ambulation. In addition, he presents ecchymosis, edema, superficial abrasions on the external lateral aspect and pain on acupressure in the course of the external collateral ligament. A knee examination maneuvers: positive varus yawn sign, positive patellar brushing, positive patella hyperpressure, functional limitation to flexion and extension of the joint.This modified Larson technique turns out to be one of the most promising due to its various characteristics, as the least demanding and at the same time providing encouraging results. This procedure is based on the reconstruction of the LCL and the popliteal tendon (PT) as a whole, thus summarizing the reconstruction of the Peroneal Popliteal Ligament (LPP) as a static stabilizer of the PT, with its insertion at the level of the head of the fibula in conjunction with the of the LCL and the restitution of both attachments in the femoral epicondyle, taking into account the morphology of the fibula and the angles of movement of the knee.
First Assessment of Natural Regeneration and Seed Dispersal of Persian Walnut (Juglans regia L.) in Mediterranean Agroecosystems
Authors: da Silveira Bueno Rafael , Badalamenti Emilio , Barone Ettore , Cairone Andrea , La Mantia Andrea , Sala Giovanna , La Mantia Tommaso
Published: January 2021

Persian walnut (Juglans regia L.), which is native to Central Asia, has been widely cultivated throughout Europe over millennia as a multipurpose tree. However, only recently the naturalization process outside cultivation has been studied, mostly in temperate Europe, with no information regarding the Mediterranean region. Here we provide the first field investigations about the natural regeneration of walnut in two traditional Mediterranean agroecosystems: an irrigated mixed orchard in suburban areas and a non-irrigated prickly pear (Opuntia ficusindica [L.] Mill.) orchard. The natural regeneration densities were statistically different in the two agroecosystems, ranging from 75 individuals per hectare in the prickly pear orchard to 200 individuals per hectare in the mixed orchard. Crows were frequently observed actively carrying walnuts in both environments. The irrigation practices and the shade provided by larger trees in the mixed orchard, and the potential benefits provided by prickly pear individuals, seemed to be crucial for seedling establishment and development in the two orchards, respectively. On the other hand, climate does not seem to represent a constraint for walnut recruitment, even if the mean annual temperature at the mixed orchard is slightly above the optimal temperature for walnut. Other biotic and abiotic factors that may trigger or hamper the naturalization process are also discussed in this paper, which explores the research needs for better understanding the naturalization potential of the Persian walnut in Mediterranean agroecosystems, as well as the effects of different land uses and future climate change on this process.

FREUD X FRANK: UMA LEITURA DO TEXTO "DOSTOIÉVSKI E O PARRICÍDIO"
Authors: Jakimiu Sabino Paulo Cesar
Published: January 2021

O intuito do artigo é realizar uma análise sobre duas perspectivas distintas acerca da figura de Fiódor Dostoiévski. As interpretações, a saber, são as de Sigmund Freud e as de Joseph Frank. Enquanto o primeiro faz uma análise psicanalítica dos romances do escritor russo, a fim de defender a ideia de que ele sofria de distúrbios neurológicos que influenciaram sua obra, Frank argumenta contra as ideias de Freud. O objetivo não é investigar quem está com a razão sobre o romancista, mas buscar uma visão adequada acerca dos altos e baixos do texto “Dostoiévski e o Parricídio”, e, desse modo, tentar compreender como os romances de Dostoiévski anteciparam alguns temas caros para a psicanálise.

A história dos/as surdos/as carrega um grande fardo de estigmas moldados em discursos que os/as inferiorizam, os/as tornando sujeitos periféricos, subalternos e abjetos na sociedade normativamente ouvinte. Tais discursos ultrapassam a história e se repetem incorporando nos sujeitos surdos, certa precariedade e inferioridade que engendram seus corpos. Brigando com esses discursos, este trabalho tem por objetivo mostrar como os sujeitos surdos são produzidos em detrimento de normalizações impostas de uma cultura ouvinte. Através das formulações críticas e estratégicas da teoria Queer - tendo em vista, ser esta uma teoria analítica das normalizações que moldam corpos e subjetividades estabelecendo relações de poder entre os seus interagentes – questionaremos as formas de normalizações micropolíticas que se impõem aos/as surdos/as pela cultura ouvinte. O intentio deste trabalho se resume a uma reflexão teórico-analítica que questiona a subalternidade e a abjeção dos sujeitos surdos em nossa cultura.

The all medicinal plants contain several biochemical or chemical active substances that show a definite physiological action on human or animal body while applying as -The present communication is based on herb, namely, Cassia fistula. belonging to family for the prevention of intoxication induced with a sublethal dose of Carbon tetrachloride (CCL). Male mice with a dose 4weighing around 6.5 mg/kg body weight were exposed to CCl, a common toxic agent used for 4hepatotoxicity. Seed and leaves extracts of Cassia fistulawere given thereafter to the male mice to check their effect on the toxicity of CCl.After 4several weeks of exposure to these herbal extracts, there was a significant change observed in the biochemical parameters with a significant increase in values of serum oxaloacetatate transferase, serum glutamate pyruvate transferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase, creatinine, glucose, and cholesterol. In contrast, no significant statistical difference was perceived in the values of all biochemical parameters in mice treated with leave and seed extracts, except the value of serum cholesterol in mice treated with seed extract which decreased as compared to the control group. These findings suggest the importance of the seeds and leaves and their combined usage against CCl4toxicity, thus promising these plant products to be promising therapeutic agents against hepatotoxicity, cardiotoxicity,nephrotoxicity,andmetabolicdisorders due to CCltoxicity. This also makes the 4safety of herbal products an important public health issue.

Socjologiczne opętanie
Authors: Kurowski Marek M.
Published: January 2021

W artykule podejmuje się dyskusję z tezą o wyparciu myślenia o szatanie z nowożytnej nauki, filozofii i teologii. Obecność figury szatana w socjologii najdobitniej dochodzi do głosu w rozważaniach Maxa Webera na temat procesu racjonalizacji i wykształcania się „sfer życia”. Autor przedstawia główne tezy Niklasa Luhmanna, dotyczące autonomii podsystemu religii we współczesnym funkcjonalnie zróżnicowanym społeczeństwie, jako rewizję weberowskiej teorii zróżnicowania społecznego, odwołującej się do motywacji aktorów społecznych. Przy tej okazji wskazany jest diaboliczny charakter oświeceniowej socjologii oraz luhmannowski postulat jego przezwyciężenia, wyrażający się w rezygnacji z krytycznej roli socjologii i moralizowania rzeczywistości społecznej.
Między problemem teologiczno-politycznym a wiarą politologa. Kilka uwag o szkole Straussowskiej
Authors: Armada Paweł
Published: January 2021

Artykuł ten omawia niektóre zasadnicze rysy tzw. szkoły Straussowskiej w kontekście głębokiej spuścizny intelektualnej jej założyciela. Leo Strauss był w latach 30. uchodźcą z nazistowskich Niemiec i następnie osiadł w USA, gdzie zyskał sławę jako wybitny nauczyciel w dziedzinie nauk politycznych, zwłaszcza na University of Chicago. Choć zajmował się głównie nadzwyczaj złożonym zagadnieniem relacji między filozofią a prawem, tj. życiem w pełni oddanym poszukiwaniu mądrości z jednej strony i życiem politycznym opartym na autorytecie religijnym z drugiej, przez co był raczej nierozumiany przez swych akademickich kolegów, zdobył niemal bezgraniczne uwielbienie swoich studentów. Wyłonienie się szkoły Straussowskiej jawi się jako rezultat rozmyślnego działania Straussa, który chciał ugruntować pewnego rodzaju dostęp do rdzenia własnej myśli. Wziąwszy pod rozwagę poważne zróżnicowanie w łonie szkoły Straussowskiej, należy zastanowić się nad tym, w jakiej mierze uczniowie Straussa zdołali sprostać intelektualnemu wyzwaniu swego mistrza.
Metoda i znaczenie w badaniach ankietowych. Przypadek badań nad postawami wobec Żydów
Authors: Sułek Antoni
Published: January 2021

Podręczniki metodologii badań sondażowych uczą pobierać reprezentacyjne próby, układać pytania, zadawać je respondentom oraz zliczać i analizować odpowiedzi. Nie ma natomiast podręczników interpretacji odpowiedzi, określenia znaczenia uzyskanych wyników, odnoszenia ich do pojęć, które konstruują doświadczenie. Można się tego uczyć, analizując przypadki badań i interpretacji. W pracy pokazano problemy określania znaczenia wyników badań ankietowych. Wykorzystano prowadzone w Polsce w latach 1967–2011 badania nad postawami wobec Żydów. Rozważono kolejno znaczenie występującego w kwestionariuszach sondażowych słowa „Żydzi”, problemy z określaniem znaczenia pytań i odpowiedzi numerycznych, pytań o postawy – sympatię i niechęć, bliskość i dystans, odpowiedzi wyrażających przekonania o władzy Żydów oraz problem znaczenia pytań i odpowiedzi w międzykrajowych badaniach porównawczych.
(Re)konstrukcja tradycji Sokratejskiej a poszukiwanie zdrowego rozsądku w naukach politycznych
Authors: Armada Paweł
Published: January 2021

Artykuł służy rozjaśnieniu relacji pomiędzy poszukiwaniem zdrowego rozsądku w naukach politycznych czy społecznych a szeroko oddziałującą ideą (re)konstrukcji tradycji Sokratejskiej, czyli powrotu do klasycznej filozofii politycznej. Pełne zrozumienie tej relacji zależy od podjęcia kilku kroków: po pierwsze, należy rozważyć tło wskazanej idei mieszczące się w powojennym amerykańskim dyskursie akademickim; po drugie, przyjrzeć się dwóm krytykom dominującego w nim nastawienia pióra Isaiaha Berlina i Leo Straussa; po trzecie, uchwycić szczególne znaczenie tudzież powab intelektualny wizji Straussa; po czwarte, zwrócić uwagę na zapoznany problem religijnego bądź teologicznego wymiaru oglądu zdroworozsądkowego; po piąte, stawić czoło jako takiej kwestii filozofii Sokratejskiej oraz temu, w jaki sposób Strauss i jego uczniowie rozwiązują tę kwestię. Omawiany artykuł stanowi jedynie bardzo zwięzły szkic powyższych zagadnień.
Grecy udomawiają Greków
Authors: Kordos Przemysław
Published: January 2021

Artykuł próbuje pokazać różne aspekty radzenia sobie współczesnych Greków z ich kulturowym i historycznym dziedzictwem: na ile Grecy współcześni czują się następcami Greków starożytnych i jak postrzegają swoje miejsce w kulturze współczesnej Europy. Kwestie poruszane w artykule są w dużej mierze pytaniami o nowogrecką tożsamość. Punktem wyjścia do rozważań jest Ironiczny słownik nowogrecki autorstwa Nikosa Dimu, który w 230 hasłach stara się zebrać komunały, jakie wyznają jego rodacy.

Objective: To evaluate the correlation between thrombolytic in Myocardial Infarction risk score with the severity of coronary lesions found by coronary angiography during hospitalization in patients with non-ST elevation Acute coronary syndrome.

Study Design: Cross sectional study.

Place and Duration of Study: Adult Cardiology department, Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology & National Institute of Heart Diseases, Rawalpindi from Jul to Dec 2018.Methodology: Patients who had chest pain suggestive of angina or anginal equivalent symptoms and diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) were included in the study. Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome were risk stratified with Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction risk scores and were further evaluated with coronary angiograms to assess the extent of coronary artery disease.

Results: Total 115 patients were recruited in the study with mean age 57.08 ± 10.2 years. There were 87 (75.7%) male patients while 28 (24.3%) female patients. The most common co-morbidity was hypertension 66 (57.4%) followed by diabetes mellitus 39 (33.9%) and smoking 25 (21.7%). 71 (61.7%) patients had one angina episode in the last 2 hours while 34 patients had two angina episodes in the last 2 hours. Cardiac biomarkers were raised in 36 (31.3%) patients. 60 (52.2%) used aspirin in the last 7 days. Chi-square test was applied between Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction Score and Coronaries lesions, which showed statistically significant results (p<0.001).

Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that among patients presenting with Non-STE Acute coronary syndrome i.e. unstable angina /NSTEMI who are referred for coronary angiography, clinical risk stratification according......
Online public relations: What are the mechanisms that should be used by practitioners to elevate their performance?
Authors: Adel Rasha
Published: January 2021

Despite the elevated interest in new technologies in the public relations practice, their use is still achieved in a random, traditional, disorganized way and without a particular strategy or methodology. This randomness in non-use may be caused by the lack of conviction of the role of modern technological tools and their importance to activate the dialogue between the organization and its audience. In addition to enabling them to achieve their objects such as promotion, building a strong reputation and increase loyalty and thus increase sales or services provided. The other reason is that this area is still considered relatively new. Literature still lacks studies that show the mechanisms that practitioners should follow to improve and develop their performance, although many studies have shown that there are many gaps and issues in the online PR practice, such as weaknesses in technological skills, weakness in the concept of online pr. Studies have also found factors that affect on the non-use of these tools or use them in an abusive manner. Therefore, there is a need for studies to show the mechanisms of dealing with these tools effectively. This study attempted to explore the literature in this field and found several mechanisms that could be used to improve and develop the practice of online PR.
Designing Curriculum and Instruction for Computer-Supported Complex Systems Teaching and Learning in High School Science Classrooms
Authors: Anderson Emma , Yoon Susan A. , Koehler-Yom Jessica
Published: January 2021

While research on teaching and learning about complex systems has achieved solid grounding in the learning sciences, few educational studies have focused on articulating design features for classroom implementa- tion that can serve a modular purpose for building curricular and instructional experiences. Furthermore, despite the fact that several studies describe important roles for teachers in constructing successful classroom learning experiences, only a few of them examine how teachers’ instructional practices, knowledge, and beliefs influence student learning outcomes and the extent to which teachers are interested and willing to teach through complex systems approaches. Furthermore, we do not know what supports teachers themselves say that they need to teach about complex systems in their classrooms. In this study, we present a curriculum and instruction framework that outlines how teaching and learning about complex systems in high school science classroom contexts can be done. We articulate the features of the framework and provide examples of how the framework is translated into practice. We follow with evidence from an exploratory study conducted with 10 teachers and over 300 students aimed at understanding change in teachers’ instructional practices; the extent to which students learned from the activities; what teachers’ perceptions were in terms of utility and usability; and what other supports teachers needed.

URDU: حرام اورمسئلہ تملیک و تصدق: شرعی و تحقیقی جائزہ
Authors: Dr. Muhammad Mushtaq Ahmed
Published: January 2021

Majority of sharia scholars are of the opinion that in voluntary charity (sadaqa naafila) transfer of ownership and possession of the needy and poor on the charity is not stipulated, while in obligatory charity (sadaqa waajiba) like zakat, fidya of prayer and fasting it is considered that (tamleek ul faqeer) transfer of ownership and possession of the needy is compulsory and it could not be spent in social welfare activities. Keeping in view the condition of “Tamleek ul faqeer”, anything which comes in the ownership of a person from invalid sources (maal e haraam) also falls in this category, as it is also obligatory to be given in charity. However the question arises whether the condition of transfer of ownership and possession of the needy should be applied in maal-e-haraam like Sadaqaat-e-wajiba or it is allowed to spend the amount in social welfare activities without possession.

In this paper, after presenting the view points of classical scholars regarding different types of maal, maal-e-haram and where this kind of wealth shall be spent, the issue of possession is also examined in obligatory charity and maal-e-haraam. It is suggested that categories of obligatory charity be differentiated in terms of possession, as the nature and sources of each kind is different and the condition of ownership and possession may not be applied on the charity of invalid income and this kind of wealth may be allowed to be given in social welfare activities without tamleek ul faqeer.
