Inteligencia artificial, Goya y el aprendizaje del dibujo. Primeros pasos
Authors: Marín Viadel Ricardo , Campos Ricardo , Roldán Joaquín
Published: February 2024

Hemos enseñado o entrenado a la inteligencia artificial a dibujar a partir de una selección de dibujos y grabados de Goya, usando la plataforma Stable Diffusion de código abierto. Nuestro objetivo ha sido averiguar qué podemos aprender, como profesorado de artes visuales (otro tema muy distinto sería como artistas visuales) de los dibujos que crea la inteligencia artificial. Hemos ensayado variaciones de aprendizajes usando diferentes grupos de imágenes modelo, bien muchas y diversas, bien pocas y muy homogéneas, incluyendo largos textos descriptivos acompañando cada imagen, o únicamente imágenes sin texto escrito asociado, y sobre todo insistiendo en sucesivos aprendizajes a partir de las mismas imágenes modelo. Presentamos una selección de los resultados más satisfactorios: 40 dibujos agrupados en diez series de cuatro.

Para profesionales de la enseñanza del dibujo, las tres primeras sensaciones con la inteligencia artificial son: velocidad, amplia dispersión de la calidad de los resultados, y notable congruencia estilística con los dibujos usados como modelos. Nuestra indagación está siendo un recorrido de ida y vuelta: la inteligencia artificial ha aprendido a dibujar a partir de dibujos de Goya generando resultados de aceptable calidad y nosotros hemos aprendido a incorporar la inteligencia artificial al aprendizaje del dibujo.

Authors: Kequan Lin
Published: February 2024

In order to improve the results of college students' innovation and entrepreneurship, local governments need to analyze from the perspectives of support policies, financial support, innovation model guidance and government-enterprise cooperation. Therefore, this paper proposes several assumptions. There is a positive correlation between government financial support and entrepreneurship rate, and whether government-enterprise cooperation, model guidance and financial support are the main influencing factors of college students' innovation and entrepreneurship support. The results showed that the innovation model was the indirect factor of college students' innovation and entrepreneurship, with an impact of 0.63, the government-enterprise cooperation was a secondary factor, and the influence was 0.89, the impact of policy and financial support on college innovation and entrepreneurship was a short-term impact, the government support policy was a long-term impact, and the school-enterprise cooperation was an intermediary factor. Therefore, local governments should strengthen early financial support and introduce support policies to promote the development of college students' innovation and entrepreneurship and ensure the effect of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Authors: Sahastrabudhe Ayushi , Sodani Dr. P.R.
Published: February 2024

The global healthcare and life sciences sectors are on the verge of a transformative phase in the next five years [1]. Despite escalating global trade tensions and a less optimistic economic outlook for 2020, the global healthcare market is projected to exceed the $2 trillion milestone in 2020 [2]. McKinsey [3] foresees the widespread adoption of promising new technologies, encompassing biotechnology (genomics, biosensors), digital advancements (AI, blockchain, Internet of Things, robotics, automation), and innovative treatments. This paves the way for disruptions in businesses, operating models, and markets. Simultaneously, changing demographics, including a burgeoning middle class and an aging population, coupled with an epidemiological transition resulting in a higher prevalence of non-communicable diseases and the new risks posed by the global pandemic, ensure that the demand for innovation remains substantial. This demand extends to driving concurrent enhancements in health outcomes, affordability, quality, and access [3]. Consequently, this disruption is anticipated to usher in a fundamental shift in the healthcare ecosystem, propelled by the adoption of digital health applications across the healthcare landscape by traditional stakeholders, complemented by a push from non-traditional entrants in the healthcare industry, all aimed at implementing a preventive care strategy.
ASSESSMENT OF THE COMPLIANCE OF MEDICAL RECORDS DOCUMENTATION ON NABH STANDARDS IN A PRIVATE TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL IN U.P.
Authors: Tiwari Pooja , Sodani Dr. P. R.
Published: February 2024

Medical records, also known as health records or medical charts, are considered the primary source of information regarding a patient's care within a hospital or healthcare facility. They are often characterized as systematically documented evidence detailing a patient's history of illness, treatment, and care over a specific period under the management of a particular healthcare provider. Medical records encompass various "notes," including clinical observations, drug administrations, physician's orders, investigations, treatment plans, health assessments, billings, consent forms, and other essential records integral to a patient's duration under a healthcare provider. Since medical records serve as a documented history of a patient's care, they serve multiple purposes. While aiding clinicians in delivering personalized, high-quality care to each patient, they also assist hospitals by providing crucial information for research, evaluating the performance of services offered, and formulating future policies. Furthermore, medical records contribute to reducing errors during a patient's care in the hospital or healthcare facility and serve as significant evidence in medico-legal cases.

Authors: Parashar Deeksha , Sodani Dr. P. R.
Published: February 2024

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is a distinctive form of pneumonia recognized for its elevated transmission rate. It originated in Guangdong, China, in November 2002. A major SARS outbreak occurred in Singapore in mid-March 2003, with a connection to a traveler who had returned from Hong Kong. However, the subsequent spread through untraceable contacts ultimately led to its global dissemination, shaping the current Covid-19 pandemic [1]. Contact tracing plays a pivotal role in public health efforts to curb the spread and manage infectious diseases. By addressing the limitations of relying solely on symptomatic detection, contact tracing enhances sensitivity and community preparedness in responding to emerging epidemics.

Immunization stands out as a crucial and cost-effective health intervention aimed at addressing this issue. According to WHO estimates in 2012, vaccination is responsible for preventing 2.5 million deaths annually. Achieving 100% immunization coverage and ensuring the 100% efficacy of vaccines could potentially prevent one out of every seven deaths in children, particularly in developing nations. Globally, approximately 25% of under-five mortality is attributed to diseases that could be prevented through vaccination [1].
NATIONAL DEWORMING DAY, FEBRUARY 2018 PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION IN BIHAR
Authors: Sen Shayoni , Sodani Dr. P.R.
Published: February 2024

Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are widespread across the globe and predominantly impact the most impoverished and disadvantaged communities. These infections result from the transmission of eggs present in human feces, contaminating soil in areas with inadequate sanitation. Roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides), whipworms (Trichuris trichiura), and hookworms (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale) are the main vectors of infection. Roughly 2 billion individuals globally, or 25% of the global population, are afflicted with helminth infections [1]. Children who are malnourished or anaemic frequently exhibit underweight and stunted growth. Significantly infected people could be too sick or exhausted to concentrate on their academics, or they might even skip school entirely. Worm infections have adverse effects on the physical and cognitive development of children, potentially leading to long-term consequences for their adult work potential and wages. Research indicates that regular deworming can reduce school absenteeism by 25% [2].
ASSESSMENT OF REASONS BEHIND LOW BED OCCUPANCY & DROP OUT FROM NRC AND SERVICES OFFERED & FACILITIES AVAILABLE AT NRC AS PER GUIDELINES
Authors: Tiwari Devendra Kumar , Sodani Dr. P.R.
Published: February 2024

The Nutrition Rehabilitation Center (NRC) is a collaborative initiative between UNICEF and the Government of India as part of the community plan. It functions as a facility where children diagnosed with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) are admitted and receive specified medical and nutritional therapeutic care. These children stay enrolled in the nutrition rehabilitation program until they fulfill the specified discharge criteria. In addition, undernutrition results in a decrease in myelinated fibers. When considering the rate of myelin synthesis per myelinated fiber, the sensitivity diminishes. Consequently, endeavors toward substantial economic development will be ineffective unless optimal child growth and development are ensured [1]. Particularly in the early years of life, nutrition has a critical influence in a child's physical, mental, and emotional development. Nutrition-related policies and strategies can have a significant impact on the general social and human development of communities around the world. Malnutrition is widely recognized as a fundamental hurdle in global public health and health policy, referring to a condition that negatively influences body structure or function and clinical outcomes due to deficiencies or imbalances in energy, proteins, and other essential nutrients [2].

Published: February 2024

Maternal mortality remains a significant challenge in numerous developing nations, with over 40% of pregnant women globally encountering acute obstetric issues. Approximately 300 million women (as of 2007) in the developing world experience morbidities related to pregnancy and childbirth [1]. The global focus is on decreasing the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR). The 2007 and 2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set targets of 200 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births and 109 per 100,000 live births, respectively, according to the United Nations. Within the first 24 hours after giving birth and during labour, the majority of maternal deaths take place. In addition to the medical causes of these deaths, a number of interrelated socio-cultural issues also have a role in the delays in seeking medical attention. Delays in seeking care include realising problems, making the decision to do so, finding and travelling to a medical facility, and getting proper and sufficient care there [2].

Astaxanthin-Loaded Chitosan Oligosaccharide/Alginate Nanoparticles: Exploring the Anti-inflammatory and Anticancer Potential as a Therapeutic Nutraceutical: An In vitro Study
Authors: Kulpreechanan Narissara , N. Sorasitthiyanukarn Feuangthit
Published: February 2024

Astaxanthin (ATX), a member of the xanthophyll carotenoid family, possesses various bioactive properties. However, its incorporation into functional foods, nutraceuticals, and dietary supplements is challenging due to its low water solubility, limited bioaccessibility, and constrained bioavailability. To address this, a nanostructure with chitosan oligosaccharide/alginate nanoparticles (COANPs) was designed. Optimization relied on the Box-Behnken design (BBD) and was evaluated with the response surface methodology (RSM). Upon encapsulating ATX within COANPs, the synthesized ATX-COANPs displayed enhanced in vitro anti-inflammatory activity. Furthermore, these nanoparticles inhibited protein denaturation and demonstrated significant cytotoxic effects against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Based on these findings, ATX-COANPs emerge as a promising oral delivery mechanism for ATX, suitable for integration into nutraceutical and functional food formulations.

Design Optimization of a Horizontal Particle Receiver for a Modular Beam Down Receiver CSP
Authors: Saldivia David , Bruce Anna , Taylor Robert A.
Published: February 2024

CSP research is focused on increasing the economic competitiveness of this technology as compared to conventional and emerging energy generators. Higher temperature operation conditions represent a pathway toward cost reductions since they enable a relatively smaller solar field area (typically ~40-50% of the plant cost) for the same electrical output. For example, supercritical CO2 power cycles with solid particles as the HTF could enable >600°C operations and a ~50% power bloc cycle efficiency (considerably higher than steam cycles, <40%). Additionally, small modular systems could increase competitiveness through reduced financial risk, increased system flexibility, and the value of additional services that a modular CSP could offer to the electricity grid (frequency control, peaking supply, etc.). This study investigates the Beam Down Receiver (BDR) configuration as a design that could be well-suited to meet these goals while also overcoming some of issues with particle receivers, such as particle attrition, advective losses, and operation control. In particular, this work introduces a novel horizontal particle receiver (HPR) and analyzes the main design parameters, including tower height, BDR size, radiation flux on the receiver, and receiver nominal power. The analysis shows that tower heights between 35m to 60m are ideal for high temperature receiver capacities of 8-15 MWth, and that this configuration can achieve a minimized LCOH of ~24 USD/MWth. These results suggest that BDRs combined with particle mediums could represent a viable high temperature, high efficiency CSP alternative.
An Integrated Light Pipe Receiver and Thermal Energy Storage
Authors: Madsen Christi
Published: February 2024

An integrated light pipe receiver and thermal energy storage (TES) architecture is proposed for solar process heat applications. Simulations demonstrate the benefits of increased heat transfer area to a low conductivity TES medium and reduced surface radiation losses. When compared against a baseline design with a hemispherical absorber, the integrated light pipe receiver enables up to a factor of three higher energy storage for distributed absorption relative to localized absorption at the top of the TES. For a lower thermal conductivity TES medium or baselining to a flat-top absorber, an increase in thermal energy storage up to a factor of five results.

Published: February 2024

This paper presents a novel method for the assessment of cleanliness levels (i.e. specular relative reflectance) in the solar field by use of laser scanning. The detected backscattered laser intensity caused by soil and dust, on the otherwise specular mirror surfaces, can be used for determining the cleanliness of mirrors in the solar field with an excellent spatial resolution and acquisition speed. The backscatter behavior of soiled mirrors with distance and incident angle is analyzed and used for transferring the raw measurements values to a reference distance and incident angle. The experimental results of the novel laser scanning measurement technique as well as new insights on soiling behavior are presented. First, the calibration measurements with artificially soiled mirror samples are analyzed, followed by an extensive measurement campaign in a heliostat field. A correlation for the backscatter power and the cleanliness is found, and the first spatially resolved cleanliness measurement for a heliostat field is shown, successfully validating the measurement principle.

Rosiglitazone HCl, a member of thiazolidinedione class of antidiabetic agent, improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity. The maximum solubility of rosiglitazone was found at pH 1.2 and solubility decreases up to pH 4.0. At a pH 6.0 and higher pH, solubility reduces drastically. Suitable solid dispersion systems of rosiglitazone with maltodextrin and poloxamer were prepared by solvent evaporation and kneading methods at 1:1 and 1:3 drug: carrier. Drug content, saturation solubility, FTIR, XRD, DSC and In-vitro dissolution were studied. The drug content was uniform, solubility of the drug increased linearly as a function of the carrier concentration and method. The FTIR studies suggest possible interaction at molecular level further justified by XRD and DSC studies. The dissolution study suggests, the increase in drug release was dependent on type of method of preparation. The DP60 and DE60 values were significantly higher (P<0.05) in solid dispersion systems prepared by kneading method when compared to pure rosiglitazone, physical mixture and solvent evaporation method. The dissolution follows first order model and obeyed Hixson- Crowell’s cube root law.

This study investigates the concentration and purity of DNA extracted from Clarias gariepinus after exposure to lethal concentrations (250 ml/l, 200 ml/l, 150 ml/l, 100 ml/l, 50 ml/l, 25 ml/l and 0.0 ml/l for the control) of Xylene: Diesel (X:D) and Oilfield-Based Emulsifiers (O-BE) over 96 hours using static bioassays and sub-lethal concentrations 0 ml/l (control), 12.8 ml/l, 25.6 ml/l, 38.4 ml/l, 51.2 ml/l and 64.0 ml/l) using renewal bioassay for 28 days. 210 juveniles were used for the experiment. The study used PCR and other methods to analyse DNA concentrations and purity in the fish samples. The results indicated variations in DNA concentration, purity, and the presence of micronuclei, suggesting genetic and cytogenetic responses to chemical exposures. The highest DNA concentration was recorded in the 25 ml/l group for both O-BE and X:D, while the lowest was in the 100 ml/l group. The genetic effects of Xylene: Diesel on the molecular level were also examined, with significant gaps in the alignments of experimental groups indicating notable differences in the sequences compared to the control group without chemical exposure. Through detailed analyses, including gel electrophoresis and sequence alignment, the study explores genetic variations and micronuclei frequencies in blood cells, shedding light on the ecotoxicological impacts and potential evolutionary implications of these oil-based substances on African catfish. Understanding the genetic variations induced by lethal concentrations of O-BE in Clarias gariepinus is crucial for assessing the broader environmental impact, as genetic changes in aquatic organisms can affect population health, adaptation, and ecosystem dynamics.

Authors: Jude Amaechi Odihe
Published: February 2024

The paper explored promoting innovation in mental health treatment through exploring intellectual property laws in innovative and affordable technologies. The current intellectual property landscape presents challenges that demand strategic adjustments to strike a balance between incentivizing innovation and ensuring widespread accessibility to groundbreaking mental health technologies. Proposed recommendations encompass among others; advocating for shorter and more flexible patent terms, introducing legislative clarity on patent infringement, and promoting collaboration through legal measures. Additionally, the recommendations prioritize incentivizing information sharing, discouraging knowledge fragmentation, and embedding provisions that prioritize the accessibility and affordability of mental health technologies. This comprehensive strategy aims to create a legal environment that not only safeguards intellectual property but also propels the mental health technology sector toward heightened innovation, collaboration, and accessibility. The urgency for these reforms is underscored by the identified challenges within the intellectual property framework, emphasizing the need for nuanced adjustments. Ultimately, the recommended reforms offer a holistic approach to foster an environment that protects intellectual property rights while advancing mental health innovation to benefit a diverse range of individuals and communities.
Effectiveness of slow deep breathing therapy on lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients: A case study

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Hypertension is a cerebral vascular disorder in the form of narrowing of cerebral blood vessels, resulting in reduced oxygen and nutrient supply to the brain. It is characterized by an increase in systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg and diastolic pressure >90 mmHg. Non-pharmacological management is needed to be applied in lowering blood pressure. Slow deep breathing therapy exercises are done by breathing long and deep breaths slowly can stimulate the secretion of endorphins neurotransmitters in the autonomic nervous system which has an effect on decreasing the work of sympathetic nerves, increasing the work of parasympathetic nerves whose effects can affect heart rate to be slow and also vasodilation occurs in blood vessels. Objective: To lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients by using slow deep breathing exercises. Methods: The method used in this study used a case study with pre and post intervention, patients were given slow deep breathing exercises by breathing in through the nose for 3 seconds until they felt that the stomach expanded then held their breath for 3 seconds, then exhaled slowly through the mouth for 6 seconds, and repeated all steps for 15 minutes. Results: Obtained results of a decrease in blood pressure in patients after being given slow deep breathing exercises. Conclusion: Slow deep breathing therapy exercises with appropriate methods and procedures can be an alternative to lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients

Purpose: To describe the contribution of Myélo-computed tomography during the assessment of slow spinal cord compressions and to determine the etiological profile. Patients and methods: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional, analytical and descriptive study of 33 cases collected in the radiology and imaging department of the National Hospital of Niamey (HNN) over a period of 14 months (from 31/12/2015 to 10/02/2017). Were included in the study all patients with slow spinal cord compression occurred in a non-traumatic setting, admitted to the service for a Myélo-computed tomography. Results: The mean age of the patients was 47.03 years with extremes ranging from 27 to 75 years. The 30-35 age group was the most affected with 23.2% of cases. In our study, Myélo-computed tomography detected medullary compression in 33 patients (33%). The extra-dural compartment was the most common site of slow medullary compression with 97% and intra dural extra marrow with 3%. The dorsal spine was the most affected stage by slow spinal compression with 52% followed by the cervical (27%) and lumbar (22%) stage. Infectious pathology was the most common cause of spinal cord compression with a frequency of 63.6%, followed by degenerative (27.3%) and tumoral (9.1%) pathology. Conclusion: Myélo-computed tomography plays an important role in topographic and etiologic diagnosis of slow spinal cord compression in the absence of MRI.

Finansowanie z budżetu Unii Europejskiej polityki strukturalnej w Polsce w latach 2007–2013
Authors: Czykier-Wierzba Dorota
Published: February 2024

W latach 2007—2013 głównym beneficjentem pomocy strukturalnej z budżetu ogólnego UE będzie Polska. Podstawowymi źródłami finansowania tej pomocy będą fundusze strukturalne (Europejski Fundusz Rozwoju Regionalnego i Europejski Fundusz Społeczny) i Fundusz Spójności. Przyznane dla Polski środki pomocowe zostaną wykorzystane na realizację 5 ogólnopolskich programów operacyjnych i 16 regionalnych programów operacyjnych oraz programów europejskiej współpracy terytorialnej. Zakłada się, biorąc pod uwagę doświadczenia innych krajów członkowskich UE, w tym szczególnie Irlandii, że w Polsce wykorzystanie pomocy unijnej będzie miało wpływ na poprawę podstawowych wskaźników makroekonomicznych, takich jak: inwestycje, zatrudnienie, bezrobocie, produktywność, handel zagraniczny. Syntetycznym wyrazem zachodzących w gospodarce zmian będzie natomiast przyspieszenie tempa wzrostu gospodarczego. W konsekwencji wykorzystanie funduszy pomocowych powinno przyczynić się do zmniejszenia dystansu w poziomie rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego dzielącego Polskę od „starych” krajów UE.

Lameness is a frequent reason for admission to the pediatric emergency department. Evaluation of the limping child can be complex for the clinician. In most cases these are benign causes, however, it is necessary to take into consideration which diagnoses should not be overlooked. Lameness presents a challenge to the pediatrician, who must seek a balance between the need to identify serious conditions early and avoid unnecessary potentially invasive and harmful investigations. Therefore, a possible diagnostic approach for use in the emergency department aimed at early identification of the most serious etiologies is described
