Authors: Panda Jagnyaseni , Hota Saubhagya , Padhy Asutosh , Behera Padmaja , Sahu Nitin
Published: June 2024

Background: Lifestyle plays one of the central roles in determining the overall health of a person, including health-care professionals. Despite their extensive medical knowledge, doctors are susceptible to lifestyle-related diseases due to the demanding nature of their profession. Assessing the lifestyle factors of doctors is essential for promoting healthier habits and mitigating the risk of chronic diseases within the medical community.

Aims and Objectives: We aimed to explore the lifestyle factors of doctors working in a medical college in Odisha, India, using the FANTASTIC Lifestyle Assessment Questionnaire.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional and observational survey study was conducted over a period of 6 months, involving 152 doctors (75 males and 77 females) aged 30–70 years. Convenience sampling was used, and participants provided written consent. Lifestyle factors such as food intake patterns, physical activity, stress management, and overall health were assessed using the FANTASTIC questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential tests.

Results: The majority of doctors were classified as overweight or obese based on body mass index, with a higher prevalence of obesity among females. Most participants demonstrated good or fair lifestyle scores, indicating a positive trend toward healthier habits. However, a significant proportion had low lifestyle scores, particularly among female doctors.

Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of promoting healthier lifestyle habits among doctors to improve their well-being and enhance patient care. Targeted interventions aimed at improving dietary habits, physical activity levels, and stress management are essential for fostering a culture of health within the medical community.
The impact of ketorolac and paracetamol on post-operative pain and analgesic consumption post-dental extraction
Authors: Gairola Bikash , Kumar Masuram , Gupta Dharmender , Kumar Bijay
Published: June 2024

Background: Despite being very popular, there is limited direct comparative research that has evaluated their efficacy in post-extraction pain control between ketorolac and paracetamol. Those undertaken have shown varied results; some show that ketorolac is superior in pain relief and duration of action and others show no significant difference in efficacy between the two. This discrepancy underlines the need for further research that is important in determining the relative efficacy of the two analgesics in those patients undergoing dental extractions, something that is very important in guiding the choice of analgesic for the clinician to use in the emergency room for dental patients.

Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of paracetamol (500 mg) and ketorolac (10 mg) in managing acute pain following dental extractions.

Materials and Methods: A prospective, randomized, and double-blind controlled trial was conducted on 80 patients undergoing single tooth extraction. Participants were allocated to receive either paracetamol 500 mg or ketorolac 10 mg orally post-extraction. Pain intensity was assessed using the visual analog scale at predetermined intervals post-extraction. Secondary outcomes included time to first analgesic request besides total analgesic consumption over 24 h.

Results: Patients from Group II (ketorolac) demonstrated lower intensity pain scores at all-time points post-extraction compared to Group I (paracetamol). On the other hand, Group-I (ketorolac) demonstrated an extended time to the first analgesic request (P = 0.914) and lower total analgesic consumption (P = 0.0001) in the first 24-h post-extraction than
Group-I (paracetamol).

Conclusion: Ketorolac (10 mg) functioned better for pain than paracetamol (500 mg) in reducing pain intensity following dental extractions, with a longer duration of analgesic effect and reduced need for additional analgesia. These findings suggest that ketorolac may be preferred over paracetamol for immediate post-operative pain management within dental extractions, considering patient-specific contraindications and risk factors.

Authors:   Department  of Artificial Intelligence ,G H Raisoni College of Engineering (GHRCE) Nagpur, India, Dhawale Krupali
Published: June 2024

Yoga instructors have become teaching online due to the ongoing pandemic. Despite studying from top sources including videos, blogs, journals, and essays, users need live tracking to ensure proper posture and health. While technology can aid, beginner-level yoga practitioners rely on their teacher for identifying their proper posture. The main objective of yoga pose detection and corrections is to deliver standard and precise poses for yoga using computer vision. If the yoga pose is not performed correctly, it may lead to severe injuries and long-term problems. Analysing human positions to identify and fix yoga positions can help humans live better lives in their own homes. Our work focuses on experimenting with different approaches to yoga position classification, therefore using PoseNet . Using such algorithms of deep learning, a person can determine the correct/ideal way/method to perform the particular yoga asana he or she is attempting to perform.

Facial Age Estimation Models for Deep Learning
Authors:   Guru Nanak Institute of Technology, CSE Department, Hyderabad, Reddy B Praneeth
Published: June 2024

Automated age estimation from face images is the process of assigning either an exact age or a specific age range to a facial image. In this paper a comparative study of the current techniques suitable for this task is performed, with an emphasis on lightweight models suitable for implementation. We investigate both the suitable modern deep learning architectures for feature extraction and the variants of framing the problem itself as either classification, regression or soft label classification. The models are evaluated on Audience dataset for age group classification and FG-NET dataset for exact age estimation. To gather in-depth insights into automated age estimation and in contrast to existing studies, we additionally compare the performance of both classification and regression on the same dataset. We propose a novel loss function that combines regression and classification approaches and show that it outperforms other considered approaches. At the same time, with a lightweight backbone, such architecture is suitable for implementation.

Authors:   Department of Physics, Amity Institute of Applied Sciences, Amity University, Noida, India, Kumari Suman
Published: June 2024

This paper investigates the theoretical basis and actual methods for teleporting entangled states using multiple particles. Beginning with Bennett et al.'s pioneering work in 1993, which established the notion of quantum teleportation. In this paper, I will discuss the quantum teleportation, quantum entanglement, Entanglement schemes such as Entanglement swapping scheme and will find out the rate of successful teleportation in terms of fidelity. Additionally discussed is minimal assured fidelity, which is the lowest level of fidelity for any unknown quantum information about the states[1]. Additionally, the success rate of teleporting a superposition of odd and even coherent states is demonstrated to be able to be raised from 50% to almost 99%[2]. We discover that by just isolating the vacuum state from the even state, it can virtually transport, divert, and exchange.

Using Remote Consultation to Decrease Several Challenging Behaviors in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Alsubaie Bayan Abdulla
Published: June 2024

This study aims to determine whether we can increase the number of places where applied behavior analysis services are used by implementing different training and consultations remotely. This will help improve the quality of services offered to children with autism and reach the intended outcome, which is the acquisition of efficient therapeutic services. Utilizing the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, a well-established and empirically supported approach within the realm of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a comprehensive range of services are offered to facilitate the acquisition of fundamental abilities in children with autism. These services encompass various essential skills, including but not limited to visual attention, auditory perception, inquiry, and imitation, as well as more advanced proficiencies such as literacy, verbal communication, and perspective-taking. Additionally, ABA therapy effectively addresses and mitigates challenging behaviors that hinder the learning process in children with autism. ASD often presents individuals with a range of challenging behaviors, entailing those that involve aggression towards others, self-injurious tendencies, and severe temper tantrums. These behaviors may manifest in divergent forms, such as scratching, biting, hitting, or kicking. Additionally, individuals with ASD may exhibit social behaviors influenced by excessive scratching or rubbing, hair pulling, hand biting, head banging, or slapping oneself in the face. These symptoms are commonly observed among individuals with ASD and require careful attention and intervention. Occasionally, one or more of these actions may be present in a severe tantrum, vary in frequency, duration, and severity across the autism spectrum. These behavioral problems make dealing with the child very difficult, forcing teachers and therapists to seek help and advice from other sources and destinations.
This research reviews whether specialists in the field, can provide teleconsultations for teachers and therapists working with children with autism. This research focused on counseling to reduce aggressive behavior in some children with autism by training them in certain compliance procedures.

Ovaj rad tematizira terenska istraživanja naselja Prijanovići kod Stupara, općina Kladanj koja su vršena u oktobru mjesecu 2023. godine s ciljem rekognosciranja arheoloških lokaliteta i dokumentiranja kulturno- historijskih dobara. Pored ranije poznatih i registrovanih lokaliteta, terenskim istraživanjem evidentirana su četiri nova lokaliteta na kojima se nalaze materijalni ostaci pojedinačno datirani u srednjovjekovni i osmanski period. Riječ je o tri nekropole stećaka od kojih se na jednu naslanja osmansko mezarje, te potencijalni arheološki lokalitet pod nazivom „Grkovik“ na kojem su pronađeni tragovi zidanog objekta. Značajan broj evidentiranih dobara i interesantnih toponima u Prijanovićima i njegovoj okolini, naročito iz srednjovjekovnog perioda, upućuje na zaključak da se radi o jednom izuzetno starom naselju koje je stoljećima unazad bilo naseljavano. Budući da je većina ovih spomenika i materijalnih ostataka danas zatrpana zemljom, zaboravljena ili namjenski oštećena, iste je u budućem periodu neophodno adekvatno istražiti, zaštiti i prezentirati javnosti.

Published: June 2024

Background and aim: Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) infections are a major public health issue, especially among people involved in agricultural activities. The objective of this study was to uncover crucial characteristics linked to STH infections and provide valuable insights for focused interventions. Additionally, the study attempted to assess the prevalence of STH among farmers and workers. Materials and Methods: a cross-sectional study that included individuals from agricultural communities was conducted. Structured interviews were carried out to gather sociodemographic data, habits, lifestyle factors, and awareness. The kato-katz method was used to analyze stool samples for the presence of helminths. Statistical techniques, such as chi-square tests and correlation coefficients, were used to evaluate the relationships between variables. Results: The prevalence of STH (Soil-Transmitted Helminths) was highest at 43.33% among patients aged 46-65. An important association was found between less experience (less than 20 years) and a higher prevalence of STH (p < 0.00001). Farmers demonstrated a greater prevalence compared to workers, although the difference was not statistically significant. The prevalence of STH was strongly influenced by handwashing habits, highlighting the crucial nature of maintaining consistent practices (p < 0.02). Individuals with a higher level of knowledge had a decreased prevalence of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections, with a statistically significant p-value of 0.001867. Several helminths were detected, particularly Ascaris lumbercoids and Trichurs trichura. Age, personal protection equipment, access to clean water, handwashing, and specific helminths were positively correlated. Conclusion: This study offers a clear understanding of the various factors that affect the prevalence of STH. It highlights the significance of specific interventions that concentrate on enhancing hand cleanliness, ensuring access to uncontaminated water, and implementing protective measures.

Trajetória camponesa: do êxodo rural à reconstrução da identidade mediada pela educação
Authors: Ramos Maria Wanda de Alencar , Schaffrath Valter Roberto
Published: June 2024

O nordeste brasileiro foi marcado, historicamente, por algumas mazelas que o acompanham ao longo do tempo: desigualdade social e concentração de renda. Essa, em geral, associada à concentração de terras, cujo histórico de disputas, remontam à chegada dos europeus à região, tendo o êxodo rural como uma das características marcantes, “distribuindo” nordestinos para várias regiões do país. Este artigo trata da trajetória, campo/cidade, de filha de camponeses da Caatinga nordestina e os percalços porque passam àqueles que saem do rural para se integrar ao urbano, da negação das origens à reconstrução da identidade camponesa, perpassando pela educação, inclusive, graduação em Agronomia. A metodologia utilizada é relato de experiência com pesquisa bibliográfica e análise de proposta político pedagógico de curso “tradicional” das ciências agrárias e do mesmo curso do Programa Nacional de Educação na Reforma Agrária, entendendo a importância da abordagem de como o ensino/educação, em uma sociedade desigual, trata o campesinato e como os campesinos que acessam o ensino podem se enxergar nesta realidade. Como resultado, é apresentado que a luta de classes e a correlação de forças estão se tornando cada vez mais complexas e podem levar estes trabalhadores, fruto do êxodo rural, a vários caminhos, entre eles, às periferias urbanas com perda de identidade, tornando-se assalariados. Também, poderá conduzi-los à resistência, recriando-se por meio de outras agriculturas que garantam a sua reprodução, organizando-se em movimentos sociais capazes de transformar seus espaços.

Published: June 2024

Este estudo analisa as complicações vasculares pós-trauma, com foco na Trombose Venosa Profunda (TVP) e na Úlcera Venosa (UV), em um jovem vítima de acidente automobilístico. A TVP, uma patologia de alta morbidade, é frequentemente desencadeada por traumas, cirurgias e imobilizações prolongadas, sendo explicada pela tríade de Virchow: estase venosa, hipercoagulabilidade e lesão endotelial. O caso em questão descreve um paciente de 28 anos que, após sofrer um acidente, desenvolveu TVP nas veias cava inferior, ilíacas e femoral, evoluindo para UV. O tratamento inicial incluiu anticoagulação e medidas compressivas. A recorrência da TVP e o desenvolvimento de UV destacam a complexidade do manejo clínico e a necessidade de uma abordagem multidisciplinar.

A categoria docente é uma das mais expostas a ambientes conflituosos e de alta exigência de trabalho, tais como tarefas extraclasse, reuniões e atividades adicionais, problemas com alunos e pressão do tempo. Como a pandemia do Covid-19, causada pelo SARS-Cov-2, propagou-se de forma devastadora, causando diversos impactos em toda a sociedade, trabalhadores docentes não passaram ilesos a esses impactos seja na vida pessoal ou profissional. Nesse sentido, este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar se a saúde física e mental dos professores atuantes alterou no período pandêmico, como esses profissionais administraram todas as mudanças e lidaram com o caos que virou a educação. Desta forma realizou-se estudo quantitativo por meio de questionário aplicado de forma on-line, para analisar os impactos gerados na saúde física e mental dos professores do ensino médio e superior após mudanças geradas pela pandemia do “COVID-19”, em uma cidade do Oeste de Santa Catarina. Foram entrevistados 72 professores, destes 68,9 % atuam no ensino superior e 31,1 % no ensino médio. Evidenciou-se que 77,8 % dos professores sofreram impactos em sua saúde mental enquanto 17,8 % na saúde física e apenas 4,4 % diz não apresentar nenhuma mudança na sua saúde devido ao cenário gerado pela pandemia do “covid-19”. Esses profissionais já vêm de longa data exaustos, com problemas com sobrecarga de trabalho e atividades docentes, e neste momento com o cenário gerado pela Pandemia do Covid-19, aflorou um desgaste ainda mais visível e com âmbito ainda maior na saúde desses profissionais.

The objective was to evaluate agronomically and economically the use of fertigation, sources and doses of NPK in the production and quality of watermelon. The experiment was conducted under field conditions, with two sources of NPK (Farm and Test) used in fertirrigation at doses of 300, 600 and 900 L ha-1, plus an additional control in which the plants were not fertirrigated. In the economic part, the operating cost and gross and net revenues were calculated. There was an effect of fertilizers on peel thickness and titratable acidity, in which the test standard increased the value of these variables, and the doses influenced the fresh mass of the fruits and the productivity, obtaining better results in the dose of 300 L ha-1. The maximum recommended dose in fertirrigation with NPK in watermelon cultivar Manchester in the city of Uruana-GO is 463 L ha-1, a 23 % reduction in the current dose used in the farm standard (600 L ha-1). The optimal economic dose for Farm fertilizer is 80 L ha-1, as it offers a greater net return to the producer.

Rice is a vital cereal crop in Bhutan, cultivated widely for domestic consumption. Rice production is gradually decreasing due to diverse reasons including labour shortages and insufficient irrigation water. With the shortage of farm labour, weed management is challenging and Bhutanese farmers have long relied on Butachlor 5G for weed control. However, prolonged use of a single herbicide can lead to herbicide resistance in weeds. This study aimed to determine the extent of use of the weedicide and to assess the development of Butachlor resistance in paddy weeds through farmers’ perceptions. The study, conducted in four western rice-growing areas, surveyed 190 farmers using semi-structured questionnaires. The findings revealed that Butachlor has been extensively used for over three decades, with most farmers applying it more than the recommended dosage. Despite this, 86.85% of respondents reported a decrease in Butachlor's effectiveness over the years. More than half of the respondent (50.53%) believed that weeds had developed resistance to Butachlor, a concern that correlated with the increased dosage used. The findings suggest a diminishing efficacy of Butachlor, potentially attributed to the development of herbicide resistance. Of significance, the study identifies Potamogeton distinctus as the most prevalent weed, followed by Schoenoplectiella juncoides and Pontederia vaginalis in the surveyed areas.

Growing vegetables in raised beds offers several advantages, including proper drainage, weed control, and higher yields, among others. However, Bhutanese farmers construct these beds manually due to the lack of appropriate equipment’s, which is labor-intensive and tedious. To address this issue, ridgers attached to power tillers and mini tillers were designed and evaluated. Power tiller attached ridger was tested at three forward speeds 1.1, 1.4 and 2.4km/h and mini tiller attached ridger was tested for the interaction of the same speeds and two different depths to determine the bed height, furrow width and field capacity of the machines. The result shown that power tiller ridgers showed increased capacity of 4.51 acre/day at higher speed of 2.4km/h, while mini tiller ridgers maintained a relatively constant capacity ranging from 3.44 acre/day to 3.46 acre/day at forward speed ranging from 1.1km/h to 2.4km/h. The result indicated that forward speed had a minimal effect on bed height formation. Deeper tillage resulted in higher bed heights within recommended range of 20-30cm. Furrow width slightly increased with higher speeds. Power tiller and mini tiller bed making is 55 and 38 times more efficient than manual labor, and the investment in these implements can be recovered after using them for 1.03 and 0.55 acres, respectively, indicating their economic viability. Incorporating ridgers into vegetable cultivation practices has the potential to improve productivity and alleviate the burden on farmers in Bhutan.
Leksyka bursztynnicza w "Słowniku leśnym, bartnym, bursztyniarskim i orylskim" Wiktora Kozłowskiego
Authors: Gumowska-Grochot Ilona
Published: June 2024

The aim of this article is to examine the processes of nomination and ways of enriching the stock of special lexis concerning amber on the basis of the names collected in Wiktor Kozłowski’s Słownik leśny, bartny, bursztyniarski i orylski (Dictionary of Forestry, Beekeeping, Amber and Oryls, published 1846-1847). The author recorded vocabulary of varying territorial (mainly from central Poland) and socio-lectal range. We can arrange the recorded names semantically into three overarching groups: I. names pertaining to amber itself; II. names of people professionally involved in amber mining; III. names related to amber mining.This is the professional lexis used by amber workers when extracting amber from the ground. In the collection we find mainly nomenclatural names of objects. It contains lexemes taken from the general language and from dialects, as well as – conventionally enriching the stock of special lexis – word-forming neologisms, neosemantisms and borrowings.
Czy i w jakim zakresie rodzic i nauczyciel mogą liczyć na wsparcie przedstawicieli nauk o wychowaniu? Opinie studentów pedagogiki
Authors: Skrocka Dorota
Published: June 2024

Family upbringing and education are a difficult task for parents and teachers, and their decisions regarding upbringing methods, dictated by scientists’ suggestions, do not always yield the expected results. Students of pedagogics who participate in classes in philosophy, pedagogy, and psychology, despite accepting the educational offer of the study program, are also unable to indicate specific educational solutions that they learned during their studies. It is therefore necessary, not only to deepen scientific reflection, to discuss the issues of human upbringing and education in such a way that the problems studied by scientists do not turn out to be useless and devoid of significant social significance, and the choices of parents and teachers do not fall between mutually exclusive pieces of advice provided by pedagogues and psychologists.

We present a short review on the subject of witnesses based on second moments as a primary tool for the efficient detection of entanglement and steering. In particular, we focus on the example of Gaussian states, which represent the core toolbox for the vast domain of continuous variable states. We fully define and characterise the entanglement and steering Gaussian witnesses, respectively, and then present a set of linear constraints as an alternative characterisation that allows for the implementation of a numerical optimisation semidefinite programming algorithm. We have the great pleasure to dedicate this paper in the honour of Professor Dan Tiba on the occasion of his 70th Anniversary and to wish him a long life in good health and further success in his scientific activity.
