BACKGROUND: Spirituality/Religiosity (S/R) plays an important role in chronic diseases coping, improvement of quality of life (QL) and adherence to treatment. There is a gap in studies regarding Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) coping and if S/R can help in metabolic control and complications decrease.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the religiosity profile and relevance of spiritual/religious coping in adult patients with T1DM.

METHOD: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study conducted in outpatient care in 56 T1DM patients in a tertiary service. Patients filled out questionnaires referring to demographic and clinical data, socioeconomic classification, the Index of Religiosity of the University of Duke - Duke scale (DUREL), and an adaptated Spiritual-Religious Coping scale (SRCOPE).

RESULTS: The analysis of the positive SRCOPE (PSRCOPE) showed a low / medium score (3.3 ± 0.7), whereas for the negative SRCOPE (NSRCOPE) it was low (2.0 ± 0.7), and the use of the total SRCOPE was considered high (3.7 ± 0.4), the NSRCOPE/ PSRCOPE ratio was 0.7 ± 0.2, demonstrating a predominance of PSRCOPE in relation to NSRCOPE. The organizational, non-organizational and intrinsic religiosities presented a correlation with PSRCOPE and total SRCOPE. Only intrinsic religiosity showed a significant correlation with anxiety and depression.

CONCLUSION: It was found that non-organizational and intrinsic religiosity had a high index. The obtained score for positive and negative SRCOPE showed a PSRCOPE predominance. There was significant correlation, between the scores of religiosity and coping. The next step is to evaluate the impact of these findings in clinical practice.
Catholic Social Living: Teaching Students to “Live Wisely, Think Deeply, and Love Generously”
Authors: Brady Bernard
Published: July 2022

This article shares three ideas on teaching Catholic social teaching (CST). The first is a preference for having students work with selections from primary texts and to pull these texts into a coherent narrative. Second, the article suggests an ordered and active interpretation of the usual principles or themes of CST. Third, the article encourages instructors to go beyond the texts and invite students to think about the methodology of CST, engage alternative positions and theories on social issues, and experience the ideas of the tradition through community-based learning.

Authors: Sheikh Muhammad Ramzan , Akhtar Hadees , Hussain Irfan
Published: July 2022

This study examines the association of living areas (slum and non-slum) with the selected public health-related variables in the presence of socioeconomic variables among married women and also having a child. A total of 150 women aged 18 to 49 are selected of which 50 women from slums and 100 women are from non-slum areas of Multan by applying the cluster and random sampling techniques. The cross-tabulation method is used to find the results. The dependent variable is Body Mass Index (BMI) and it is analyzed with the socio-economic variables such as mass media index, household characteristics and education. The findings exhibit that the BMI of the women living in the slum areas is low due to a low level of education, lack of mass media access, bad household structures, and poor or ignorant area. The women of the slum area have fewer mass media access, poor status of household characteristics and less education as compared to the women living in the non-slum areas. BMI is significantly affected by area, women's education and household characteristics except for physical work, job status, mass media access and husband education. The findings of this study suggest that to provide health facilities or to reduce the gap in public health, education, mass media access and households characteristics might be considered while making any decision related to the slum and non-slum areas.

The present study was conducted in Lucknow city to assess the impact of firecracker burning during Diwali, from 2 November 2021–6 November 2021 including the pre and post-Diwali days. The concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, CO, O3, benzene and toluene, were monitored from the Central Pollution Control Board site on an hourly basis. The Air Quality Index was also recorded for PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and NO2. A questionnaire survey was done with 51 doctors to know the reported complaints post-Diwali. On Diwali night the PM2.5 value reached 262 µg m−3 around 22:00 hours and the maximum value (900 µg m−3) was obtained on 5 November, reported from the Central School monitoring station. From Gomti Nagar highest PM2.5 value obtained on Diwali day was 538 µg m−3 at 23:00 hours reaching 519 µg m−3 post-Diwali. Areas belonging to the old part of the city witnessed higher variations as PM2.5 crossed 900 µg m−3, in Lalbagh and Talkatora areas. The multivariate analysis showed that on Diwali night there was an increase of 204, 386, 344 and 341 in the PM2.5 concentration reported from Gomtinagar, Central School, Talkatora and Lalbagh stations, showing that firecracker burning resulted in a significant increase in air pollution. The Toluene/Benzene ratio was mostly more than 1 indicating that toluene and benzene may be emitted from other sources as well including the mobile sources. Around 50–75% rise was seen in the number of patients post-Diwali. 57.1% of the reported cases had respiratory issues, followed by allergic reactions. The data obtained from Lalbagh, Talkatora and Central School showed that although the values remained high, a decreasing trend was seen in the AQI compared to previous years which is a good sign and may be attributed to public awareness and the ongoing pandemic making people conscious.

Published: July 2022

Biotechnologically manageable microbiota that can produce enzyme complexes of interest is a thriving research field. After careful collection and laboratory culture, the microorganisms can develop hydrolysis and fermentation processes in bioreactors. Kinetic models for their growth are applied, being the most used those of Monod, Moser, Blackman and Powell, which combine mathematical models and experimental work.

The objective of this study was to determine the kinetic behavior of Bacillus subtilis (Bal3) to size the equipment needed to obtain enough amount of enzimes to produce  500 hl of ethanol at 70% per day. A medium composed of 60 g of sugarcane bagasse and 350 ml of whey in 1L of water with 0.02 g of inoculum was placed in a 2L Bioflo/CelliGen 115 bioreactor for 130 h at 20° C and 150 rpm. The pH ranged from 6.8 (start) to 5.8 (end). A biomass-substrate yield of 19.34% and a biomass productivity of 0.048 g/L per hour were obtained. With the kinetic models of Velhurs-Pearl, Pirt and Luedeking-Piret, the mass balance was performed and the equipment volume was calculated. Monod's model was considered to adequately represent the growth behavior of the bacteria.

Published: July 2022

The present work is focused on the use of Jatropha curcas biomass (shell), as feed to gasification systems coupled to a diesel engine for electricity generation. The scope of this research is to analyze the environmental and economic effects of the integration of a gasification system to a biodiesel plant. The environmental impacts are quantified by a Life Cycle Assessment and the economy is assessed based on the Net Present Value, Internal Rate of Return, Investment Recovery Period models and the Levelized cost of electricity. The results demonstrate that a gasification system, using this biomass as a source of electricity generation, is a promising alternative for energy supply, with good economic effect. Estimated efficiencies are: Net Present Value > 0, Internal Rate of Return > 10%/yr and Investment Recovery Period = 2.08 years, representing very good outcomes for this kind of system. Nevertheless, the project exhibits a very low Levelized Cost of Electricity of 0.054 USD/kWh. From the environmental point of view, there is not critical step during the whole life cycle of electricity generation from Jatropha curcas biomass.negative environmental impacts were found for breathing-inorganics and acidification-eutrophication, but both at negligible levels.

Published: July 2022

This research proposes the design of dual-frequency microstrip antenna using the Y slot method. Antenna are designed with a working frequency of 3,5 GHz for 5G and 5 GHz communication systems for Wi-Fi using RT duroid 5880 substrates with a constant value in electricity of 2,2, a thickness of 1,575 mm and a loss of tangents of 0,009. The Y slot method is used to generate antenna that can work on dual bands and then add inset feed to the antenna in order to optimize the return loss value of the proposed antenna. From the design and simulation has been successfully obtained antennas that can work at frequencies 3,5 GHz and 5 GHz. The addition of inset feed on the antenna results in a return loss value for the frequency of 3,5 GHz which is -17,86 dB and a frequency of 5 GHz which is -36,27 dB. Inset feed renching on antenna design using Y slot method successfully optimizes return loss value at 5 GHz frequency of 54,34% compared with single element antenna.
She’s Just Not That Into Me: Sexual Self-Concept Among Heterosexual Men Who Identify as Involuntary Celibates
Authors: Justin Kyle J , Shepler Dustin K. , Kinel Joseph R
Published: July 2022

Emerging adult men experiencing involuntary celibacy are increasingly self-identifying as “incels.” Popular culture has painted a negative view of incel men. Nonetheless, almost no research has addressed the experiences of incels or systematically compared incels to their peers to identify whether actual differences exist in psychological functioning. In this study, we surveyed a total of 129 emerging adult men (75 incels and 54 non-incels) to determine if and how incels differ from their non-incel peers. MANOVA results indicated that incels disproportionately struggled with low self-esteem, social anxiety, difficulty approaching women, and optimism about partnered sexual experiences compared to their non-incel peers. Incels also endorsed concepts related to social hierarchies, which suggested a vulnerability to gender role strain related to current hegemonic notions of masculinity. Such concerns have implications for psychotherapeutic intervention and may additionally facilitate understanding of how hegemonic masculinity may impact sexual self-concept.

Published: July 2022

There are vital links among mental health conditions, chronic diseases, and substance use disorders. Simultaneous examination of the relationship among these three conditions is essential for providing well-integrated care to rural residents who have limited resources and for representing medically underserved areas. We aimed to assess the burden of behavioral health conditions and chronic diseases from a rural Texas community to garner context-specific insights and inform effective health promotion strategies in similar communities. We conducted a cross-sectional study among 181 residents from various zip codes in a rural Texas county. A self-administered, 18-item health-needs questionnaire was used to collect data from the participants. Of the total participants, 30.0% reported mental health conditions, 16.0% reported substance use disorders, and 44.2% reported having at least one type of chronic disease. Overall, mental health conditions were associated with substance use disorders [OR: 1.58 (95% CI: 0.73–2.42)] and chronic disease [OR: 1.07 (95% CI: 0.39–1.75)], but no associations were observed between substance use and chronic disease [OR: 0.62 (95% CI: -0.20–1.43)]. The economic and accessibility barriers that rural residents commonly face call attention to the need for integrated care that combines primary care and behavioral health services.

Background. Resistance to an insecticide is what determines its effectiveness and the lack of information limits effectiveness in the control of the boll weevil in cotton crops. Objective. The objective of the study was to determine the susceptibility of the boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis Boheman) to malathion in the Laguna, Mexico. Currently, this pest is considered as the one with the highest economical impact on cotton cultivation in the region. Methodology. Three bioassays were carried out, one in the state of Coahuila in the 2017 agricultural season and in the 2018 and 2019 seasons in the states of Coahuila and Durango. Boll weevils reared in the laboratory, as well as those collected in the field were used to obtain DL50 and DL95. The mortality data was analyzed using the Probit analysis. Results. The mean lethal dose after 48 hours in the three agricultural cycles fluctuated between 0.19 and 0.39 µg/µl for adults raised in the laboratory and the data observed for adults collected in the field was between 0.37 and 0.44 µg/µl. Implications. Periodic bioassays are suggested to detect populations resistant to malathion. Conclusion. It was determined that the boll weevil populations in the Laguna Region were susceptible to malathion, since the mean lethal dosage for the 3 agricultural seasons was < 1 µg/µl.

Published: July 2022

Background. Successful immunomodulatory effects of yeast structural and secretory bioactive compounds have been demonstrated on several animal species. Likewise, studies have shown the ability of Debaryomyces hansenii to stimulate both immune and antioxidant responses on fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and recently, goats. Objective. To analyze the immunostimulant activity of lysates derived from five strains of the marine yeast D. hansenii in goat peripheral blood leukocytes using in vitro assays. Methodology. For this purpose, leukocytes from caprine peripheral blood were isolated and incubated (24 h) with lysate-derived D. hansenii strains and Zymosan (positive control). Results. The results revealed that these strains significantly increased cell immune parameters, such as phagocytic capacity, reactive oxygen species (respiratory burst) and nitric oxide production, and myeloperoxidase activity. Antioxidant enzyme assays in leukocytes stimulated with lysate-derived D. hansenii demonstrated significant increases in superoxide dismutase and catalase activities. Implications. This in vitro study using peripheral blood leukocytes suggest that lysates derived from marine yeast D. hansenii strains could be considered immunostimulants for goats through their ability to stimulate the non-specific immune parameters and the antioxidant immune mechanism, without affecting leukocyte viability. Conclusion. In particular, the results indicated that D. hansenii BCS001 was able to modulate the immune parameters in goat immune cells. Therefore, additional in vivo immunostimulatory assays deserve further research, including other species of economic interest in food production.

Published: July 2022

Background: The water deficit in the early stages of corn cultivation determines the survival of the seedlings and the establishment of the crop, so it is desirable that the soil can conserve available moisture for long periods of time. Organic fertilizers improve water holding capacity of soil, although studies of their effect on water deficit conditions are scarce. Objective: To evaluate the effect of vermicompost on soil moisture and the physiology and growth of corn seedlings. Methodology: In greenhouse conditions, a completely randomized experiment with factorial arrangement was designed. Two cultivars of Tuxpeño corn (tolerant and susceptible to drought) grown in a substrate composed of a mixture of agricultural soil and 0, 1.5 and 3% of vermicompost were evaluated. The field capacity, the permanent wilting point, and the water potential (ΨA) of the substrate were recorded. In the seedlings, from the fifth ligulate leaf, stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration (E), CO2 assimilation (A), biomass and proline contents were measured. Results: There was an increase in the permanent wilting point values, but not in field capacity, therefore the water usable decreased with the vermicompost. In the seedlings grown in the mixture with 1.5 and 3% of vermicompost, the gs, A and E decreased. At higher proportion of vermicompost the root biomass increased. The cultivar x vermicompost interaction for gs and root biomass production was evidenced. No significant difference in proline content was observed. Implications: In this study the early vegetative stage and the total suspension of irrigation were evaluated, the evaluation of the complete biological cycle of the crop with intermittent suspension of irrigation is required to generate greater knowledge of the processes involved in the soil-crop dynamics. Conclusion: Vermicompost promoted biomass production, although the physiological parameters and water usable on soil decreased.

Background. The Socorro Island Merino sheep constitutes a unique population in the world whose number is reduced to less than a hundred individuals, thus facing an imminent risk of extinction. Objective. The objective of this study was to analyze the causes and risk factors associated with the mortality of Socorro Island Merino lambs. Methodology. The rate and causes of mortality were determined and the association between mortality and weight, year of birth, sex, genotype of the lamb and the number of lambing of the ewe was determined by Chi-square test. Subsequently, a logistic regression analysis was performed using only those variables significantly associated with mortality. Results. Mortality rate was 29.31%. The 70.59% of deaths occurred during the first 48 hours after lambing being starvation the main cause of death. Mortality was associated (P<0.05) with the lambs’ year birth and the number of lambing of the ewe, while birth weight, sex and genotype were not related (P>0.05) with death of the lambs. According to the logistic regression analysis, lambs born in 2020 and born to a multiparous ewe had an 83 and 74% lower risk of death than those born in 2019 and to a primiparous ewe, respectively. Implications. The use of professionally qualified personnel and the establishment of good zootechnical management practices significantly reduces lamb mortality. Conclusions. Starvation represented the main cause of death, while the year of birth of the lamb and the number of lambing of the ewe were the risk factors associated with mortality.

Published: July 2022

Background: The agri-food sector, which includes fishing and aquaculture, poses challenges in improving the food quality and restructure markets. Currently, we have the opportunity to understand the food crisis associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, and to promote a paradigm shift in food and markets, which leads to the changes generation in the food economic system, transformation of markets and rapprochement of producers with consumers. One of the ways to bring the producer and the consumer closer to each other, is precisely to know and characterize their consumption, by conducting market studies. A market study is a systematic investigation based on the information collection and data analysis related to the outstanding characteristics of the market to which a company or a sector is directed, which allows us to know and characterize the tastes and preferences in the population consumption. Objective: To diagnose the perceptions and preferences on the fish and shellfish consumption in the Mexicali city, Baja California, Mexico. Methodology: To get the required information, surveys were applied at four points in Mexicali. The study was carried out with cluster analysis using the statistical package for social sciences. It was obtained that three clusters were separated from each other and are statistically different (98.5% of the analyzed data). Results: The first conglomerate comprises 61.77% of those surveyed, while the second 27.94% and the remaining 10.29% were in the third conglomerate. Cluster 2 represents the population that consumes the most fish and shellfish, followed by cluster 1 and those of cluster 3, which consumes less fish and/or shellfish. In order of importance, the most relevant variables to explain on the three clusters are: differences between fishery products vs aquaculture, presentation of consumption and date of acquisition. Implications: This study provides a baseline for future market research in Baja California where trends in consumer buying behavior are analyzed, as well as contributing to the recognition of problems, identification of opportunities and improvement in decision-making by consumers, aquaculture producers and fishermen (or fishing sector). Conclusions: The results show that there is a lack of knowledge in the population on fishery and aquaculture products. Therefore, there is a tremendous area of opportunity to publicize information about the fishery and aquaculture products in the different media communication. Especially to their nutritional and health benefits.

Background. The decrease in the availability of rainwater and irrigation affects forage production, therefore the inclusion of crops with a shorter growth cycle and with less water requirements should be considered. Objective. The objective of the work was to carry out the nutritional evaluation of the association of two forages; triticale and common vetch for their possible inclusion in small scale dairy production systems. Methodology. Two treatments of the association of triticale/ common vetch forage were evaluated. Results. There were significative differences (p<0.05) for dry matter (DM) due to the conservation process, the rest of variables did not present significative differences (p>0.05). Implications. Given the increase of dry season it is necessary to evaluate other forms of forage conservation that allow increase its availability for a longer time. Conclusion. The evaluated treatments did not present significative differences in terms of their in vitro nutritional value, so it can be included in the diet of dairy cattle both as a preserved forage such as hay or without hay.

Objective: To evaluate the biological behavior of six cultivars of Tithonia diversifolia (Helms.) A. Gray in three localities of the Manabí province, Ecuador. Methodology: The cultivars were obtained from the Vegetable Program of the National University of Colombia, establishing themselves in the localities: El Carmen, Canuto and San Antonio. The plant structure and physiological morpho evaluations were developed every 90 days for one year under a divided plot design with four repetitions. Results: The principal component analysis (PCA) with the formation of three components managed to determine 70.53% of the accumulated variance explained. The analysis of variance yielded, depending on the interaction, that the San Antonio locality in the rainy period was the one that allowed expressing the potential of the cultivars (1-3 and 13-5) as a function of height, number of shoots and leaves. dead, (all except 1-2), while forage yield was not affected by the third degree interaction, if not, by the combination of locality x cultivars, where the best expression (P≤0.001) was obtained in the locality El Carmen with cultivar 13-5. Implications: This is the first report about the cultivation and evaluation of cultivars of T. diversifolia in the coastal zone of Ecuador, considering as expectations, assess the expression of the nutritional value in the edaphoclimatic conditions in which they grew, and explore about the services ecosystems that this plant offers in production systems. Conclusions: There was a differentiated response for each cultivars in the variables studied, some (1-3 and 13-5) showed an attitude towards the growth, development and production of biomass, favored by the climatic conditions of the towns of El Carmen and Canuto. While others (1-2) showed a poor performance in all the factor relationships considered. In the San Antonio locality the lowest values of most of the variables under study were concentrated, affecting the accumulation of biomass.

Background:  The vermicompost provides nutrients and increases the biological activity of the soil, while the mulch provides humidity and regulates the temperature by modeling its biological activity, and influences the morphology of the plants, however, studies on the effects of use are scarce. combination of vermicompost and padding in mycorrhizal functionality. Objective: To evaluate the effect of plastic mulch and vermicompost on the colonizing potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in Italian squash (Cucurbita pepo L. cv. 'Grey Zucchini') during winter-spring (W-S) and autumn-summer (A-S) cycles, in the field. Methodology:  The study was developed in a block design of fixed effects in factorial arrangement with three repetitions to know the effect of the second-degree interaction between the factors: padding color, climatic period and fertilization variant on the colonizing activity of AMF and morphology foliar of C. pepo. A principal component analysis (PCA) was developed to know the contribution and relationship of the variables of chemical composition of the soil and vermicompost within each climatic period, on the colonizing activity of AMF in a cultivation system with padding. Results: The PCA showed in the W-S period effects due to the use of mulch in colonization by arbuscules (-0.84), while the contributions of vermicompost favored colonization by hyphae (0.95). In A-S, the colonization by hyphae was affected (-0.82) by the plastic padding, but the use of vermicompost, favored the colonization by vesicles (0.87) and arbuscules (0.97). Implications: The present study contributes to a better understanding of the mulch-activity relationship of AMF and mulch-crop under fertilization variants, being considered useful for the improvement of the production systems of C. peppo with the use of mulch and its effect on the biological performance of AMF. Conclusions: It is concluded that the effect of mulch on the biological activity of AMF varies by the climatic season in which it is used, likewise the use of mulch in A-S does not favor the biological activity of AMF, nor foliar development of the C. pepo.

Background. Riparian environments offer microhabitats that can serve as development sites and pathways for various reptile species, however, these species are threatened by habitat loss, illegal trafficking, use and persecution by the man, among others. Objective. To analyze the diversity and conservation status of the reptile community associated with two riparian ecosystems in the state of Tabasco. Methodology. The study was carried out on the banks of the stream of the Villa de Guadalupe ejido located within the Agua Selva Ecotourism complex in the municipality of Huimanguillo, Tabasco, Mexico. For the registration of individuals, ten band transects were established on the margins of the stream 100 m long by 10 m wide, separated by 25 m between them, five transects located in primary vegetation (VP) and five in secondary vegetation (VS), which were sampled monthly during a year with the method of visual encounters (VES), conducting day and night tours. Results. A total of 391 individuals of 25 species were recorded, of which 13 were lizards and 12 were snakes. The species Tantilla rubra, Geophis carinosus and Lepidophyma tuxtlae are new records for the state of Tabasco. The diversity index (1D) showed that the lizards were more diverse in VP than in VS (5.16 and 3.59), contrasting with snakes that were more diverse in VS than in VP (6.15 and 4.41). In addition, it was determined that 36% of reptiles are within some category of protection according to NOM-05SEMARNAT-2010 and 92% in categories of the IUCN and EVS. Implications. The results of this research highlight the importance of riparian ecosystems in the protection and maintenance of reptiles, in the same way it is suggested to use the EVS as a complementary method to evaluate the conservation status of species and enrich the information provided by NOM 059-SEMARNAT-2010 and the IUCN.

Background: The essential oils of plants and active principles (terpenoids) have antimicrobial effect, since they interact directly with the bacterial membrane causing the leakage of ions and other cytoplasmic compounds, as well as inhibiting the development of mobility and adhesion structures (flagella and fimbriae) in bacteria. Objective: To determine the inhibition of mobility in bacteria from terpenoid compounds and essential oils of plants. Methodology: The essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation of the plants Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Syzygium aromaticum, Eucalyptus spp, Mentha spicata, Origanum vulgare and Salvia rosmarinus. The terpenoids: carvacrol, limonene, linalol, terpinene and thymol were identified by gas chromatography. Inhibition of mobility was evaluated in SIM medium. Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and main components (PC), from these data they were graphically contrasted to group the treatments that were able to inhibit mobility. Results: The bacteria in order of sensitivity affected by each of the terpenoids and essential oils of plants were Clostridium spp, with 76.2%; E. coli (71.45%) and Salmonella spp (57.1%), so the Pseudomona spp bacteria was the most resistant, presenting a total inhibition percentage of 47.6%. Carvacrol acted as an inhibitor at a concentration of 0.75 mg mL-1 in Clostridium spp and E. coli. Limonene, linalol and thymol, affected mobility in concentrations 0.05, 0.15, 0.75 mg mL-1, on Clostridium spp, E. coli and Salmonella spp. The CP analysis showed the highest correlation of 0.9956 for Pseudomona spp. Implications: The terpeniod compounds and essential oils of plants are an alternative for the synthesis of antibacterial active principles. Conclusions: The inhibition of mobility in Clostridium spp, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp and Pseudomona spp was presented at a concentration of 0.75 mg mL-1 for the terpenoid compounds limonene, linalol and thymol, as well as in the essential oils of peppermint and oregano.

The need to wear the latest fashion ware, be in style and look modern isn’t just limited to a few regions, but people all over the world have the same demands in this regard. With globalization taking over the world by storm, the awareness and knowledge in people for fashion and good clothing has taken an even stronger grip. In such circumstances, the textile and garment manufacturing companies have a huge demand to meet and for that to overcome they must increase their production capacities, enhance their processes and work on their efficiencies. Global firms are making great use of Artificial intelligence and its various tools and branches to better their processes. This research explores how artificial intelligence is beneficial for organizations and goes on to establish significant relationships between artificial intelligence with demand forecast, decision making and product deliveries. The study is based on textile sector of Pakistan. The methodology used in this research is a quantitative model and for data collection, a questionnaire was formed and distributed to over 100 employees working in various textile and garment manufacturing companies across Pakistan. The data collected was then analyzed using SPSS and several tests were performed, notably correlation – to see how the independent variable (artificial intelligence) is related to dependent variables(demand forecast, decision making and product delivery). Furthermore, regression analysis was also performed in order to investigate if artificial intelligence has any impact on these dependent variables. Reliability test was also done to see the how the scale items under each variable were inter related and consistent with each other. The results of the test reveal that all the variables had a positive cronbach alpha value, stating the scale items are consistent and most of them were above 0.7 which shows the consistency is strong. The correlation test results show that artificial intelligence is very much related to all the dependent variables and lastly, the regression tests also prove that Artificial intelligence has a very significant influence on decision making, demand forecasting and product deliveries of textile firms. This research is very beneficial to the textile and cloth making firms of Pakistan as it shows empirical evidence of the benefits of Artificial intelligence and how its benefits will most definitely overshadow the costs of installation. Future studied can work upon focusing on a bigger sample that includes more sectors and industries as well.

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is responsible for timely clearance of snow on state-maintained highways in Indiana as part of its wintertime operations. For this and other maintenance purposes, the state’s subdistricts maintain 101 administrative units spread throughout the state. These units are staffed by personnel, including snow truck drivers and house snow removal trucks and other equipment. INDOT indicated a need to carry out value engineering analysis of the replacement timing of the truck fleet. To address these questions, this study carried out analysis to ascertain the appropriate truck replacement age, that is different across each of the state's three weather-based regions to minimize the truck life cycle cost. INDOT also indicated a need for research guidance in possible revisions to the administrative unit locations and optimal routes to be taken by trucks in each unit in order to reduce deadhead miles. For purposes of optimizing the truck snow routes, the study developed two alternative algorithmic approaches. The first uses mathematical programming to select work packets for trucks while ensuring that snow is cleared at all snow routes and allowing the users to identify optimal route and unit location. The second approach uses network routing concepts, such as the rural postman problem, and allows the user to change the analysis inputs, such as the number of available drivers and so on. The first approach developed using opensolver (an open source tool with excel) and the second approach coded as an electronic tool, are submitted as part of this report. Both approaches can be used by INDOT’s administrative unit managers for decision support regarding the deployment of resources for snow clearing operations and to minimize the associated costs.

Context: Robotic surgery is becoming the most common approach in minimally invasive urologic procedures. Robotic surgery offers less pain to patients because of smaller keyhole incisions and less tissue retraction and stretching of fascia and muscular fibers. Tailored pain regimens have also evolved and allowed patients to feel minimal to no discomfort after robotic urologic surgery, allowing in parallel better surgical outcomes. This study aims to analyze the most current pain regimens in robotic urologic surgery and to evaluate the most current pain protocols and corresponding outcomes. Evidence Acquisition: A literature review was performed of published manuscripts utilizing Pubmed and Google Scholar on pain protocols for patients undergoing robotic urologic surgery. Results: Multimodal analgesia is gaining ground in robotic urologic surgery. Regional analgesia includes four major modalities: Neuroaxial analgesia, intercostal blocks, tranvsersus abdominis plane blocks, and paravertebral blocks. Each approach has a different injection site, region of analgesia coverage, and duration of coverage depending upon local anesthesia and/or adjuvant utilized with advantages and disadvantages that make each modality unique and efficacious. Conclusions: Robotic urologic surgery has offered the advantage of smaller incisions, faster recovery, less postoperative opioid consumption, and better surgical outcomes. Neuraxial, intercostal, transversus abdominis plane, and quadratus lumborum blocks are the best and most adopted approaches which offer optimal outcomes to patients.
