Published: January 2021

The automatic retinal image examination will be developing and significant screening device for initial recognition of eye diseases. This research proposes a computer aided diagnosis framework for initial recognition of glaucoma through Cup to Disc Ratio (CDR) measurement utilizing 2D fundus images. The system uses computer based analytical methods to procedure the patient data. The Glaucoma is chronic & progressive eye disease which damages optic nerve (ON) caused by improved intraocular pressure (IOP) of eye. The Glaucoma mostly affects on optic disc (OD) by enhancing cup size. It might lead to blindness whether not recognized initially. The glaucoma detection through “Heidelberg Retinal Tomography (HRT) optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)” have been more costly. This system proposes an efficient technique to recognize glaucoma utilizing 2D fundus image. The physical analysis of OD is a normal process utilized for identifying glaucoma. In this manuscript, we suggest automatic OD parameterization method is based on segmented OD and optic cup (OC) region attained from fundus retinal images. To automatically extract OD and optic cup, we used K-means clustering technique, SLIC (Simple linear iterative clustering) method, Gabor filter and thresholding. To reshape the attained disc and cup boundary ellipse fitting (EF) is applied to obtained image. We also propose a novel method which automatically calculates CDR from non-stereographic fundus camera images. The CDR is initial clinical indicator for glaucoma assessment. Also, we have calculated OD and cup area. These features are validated by classifying image either normal or glaucomatous for given patient.

The objective of an exit survey is to improve and authorize a rapid and efficient “liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)” technique for examination of Niraparib in plasma samples. Niraparib was separated utilizing “X-Bridge C18, 50 x 4.6 mm”, 5 µm column with MP composed of 10 mM Methanol &Ammonium format in a proportion of (20:80 v/v). MRM positive mode is utilized to identify the Niraparib at 321.5®195.4. The approach illustrates sinter &intra- day precision surrounded by0.7 to 2.0 and 0.7 to 2.7 % and accuracy within 101.4-102.4 & 99.5-104.8 %. Germline mutations in BRCA1 and 2, two genes associated with mechanisms of DNA reparation impairment, are appeared to be connected with breast incidence and malignant ovarian growth, both irregular& familiar. PARP is a group of enzymes engaged with BER system. The presentation of PARP inhibitors in patients with BRCA-transformed ovarian malignant growth is associated with the synthetic lethality concept. Niraparib (NR) is an inhibitor of "poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes", PARP-1, and PARP-2 performs a character in DNA restoration. We observed such vast numbers of challenges with the revealed strategies regarding stability &reproducibility for long-run analysis. It is crucial to building up the tremendous bioanalytical method with appropriate Deuterated or analog-based internal standard in terms of reproducibility and matrix effect.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common metabolic disorder. It is associated with complications which will affect the quality of life. Failure to control elevated blood sugar or inadequate treatment of diabetes could cause many complications.  A prospective observational study is used to assess the prevalence of diabetic vascular complications in 105 types of II diabetic patients. A date was collected regarding patient's demographic and clinical characteristics. Based on our study criteria, males were more when compared to females in getting vascular complications & also. Complications were more prominent in the age group of 50-65years. Of all microvascular complications, Nephropathy was major, whereas, in macro-vascular complications, CAD was prominent. Poor glycemic control and a long length of ailment appear to be the most significant danger factors for these complexities. Doctors assume a significant function to endorse hostile to diabetic meds and Pharmacist plays a sharp task to assess the medicine design so as to accomplish fruitful treatment. The currently anti-diabetic drugs are effective, but a lot of factors such as patient adherence, education related to diabetes, lifestyle modification, cost and type of medication have an association with glycemic control. The commonly prescribed anti-diabetic drug was Insulin. Metformin was the most preferred drug both as monotherapy and combination therapy.  Although polypharmacy was observed, drug utilization pattern can be rational owing to a higher prevalence of complications. Minimization of the occurrence of complications should be courage by early diagnosis, intensive blood glucose control and rational drug selections.

Improvement in esthetic appearance and functional occlusion are the pillars of contemporary orthodontic procedures. The aim of this study was to assess variations in facial proportions between skeletal classes I, II, III populations in order to establish objective departures from Golden Proportion norms. The study sample was divided into three groups based on the skeletal malocclusion, namely skeletal class I, class II and class III groups. Various markers were identified in these photographs in order to define facial symmetry and balance with the ideal values. Golden Proportion values were compared with that of the obtained results, and these values were checked for skeletal class I, II, III malocclusions. Our study showed a significant difference between skeletal class II and III malocclusions when correlated with Golden Proportion values. Skeletal Class I malocclusions showed a greater correlation with golden proportion values. Golden proportion ratios are more valid in cases of skeletal class I malocclusions. Hence, the objective of treating class II and class III malocclusions should be more focused on attaining values closer to the desired ratio for optimal facial balance and symmetry.

Authors: Rithika Dante  , Karanjkar M. N.
Published: January 2021

Bleeding disorders (BDs) are quite uncommon, and most bleeding episodes commonly encounter in children as a result of local factors. However, the available literature is not enough to demonstrate the commonly encountered BDs among children. Hence, this study was intended to demonstrate the hematological pattern of BD’s over different age groups of children. In this prospective study, 100 patients of either gender, aged between 0 to 12 years attending the pediatric ward with bleeding manifestations were evaluated clinically to identify an underlying etiology by physical, familial and hematological examination. The data on demographics, family history, the onset of bleeding manifestations, laboratory findings, diagnosis with respective etiologies were collected, tabulated and interpreted. Out of 100 cases,38% had acquired BDs, followed by platelet disorders (32%), inherited (26%) and vascular BDs (4%). Among acquired cases, disseminated intravascular coagulation (25/100) with hepatic impairment (40%) is the predominant cause. In inherited cases, von-willebrand factor deficiency (18/100) was more predominant than factor VIII deficiency (12/100). School going children (6-9 years; 32%) and infants (21%) were the most affected age groups. Anemia (69%) and growth retardation (13%) were commonly observed complications. Acquired coagulopathies contribute a major portion of bleeding disorders in children. Infants and school-going children are at greater risk to develop coagulopathies. The understanding etiological cause is essential for accurate diagnosis and management in order to prevent morbidity associated with coagulopathies in children.

AIDS is a chronic infectious disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus. Due to the infectiousness of AIDS and the lack of specific drugs to treat AIDS, the majority of people still have the psychology of rejection and discrimination against AIDS patients. Under the influence of various factors such as themselves, families and the public, AIDS patients are prone to be negative, inferior and even world-weary. Among them, the mental health status of adolescent AIDS patients is even less optimistic due to their unique psychological characteristics. The living conditions and mental health of this particular group deserve social attention; Psychological nursing is an important way to promote the mental health of adolescent patients. Improving the long-term psychological coping ability of young AIDS patients is beneficial to their own health, family stability and social harmony. This paper studies the current situation of psychological care for AIDS patients in adolescents, analyzes its importance and puts forward some suggestions.

POSITION OF AMBASSADORS OF THE BELZ VOIVODESHIP AT THE TORUN SEJM OF 1576
Authors: Motuz Mariia
Published: January 2021

The author explores the peculiarities of the functioning of parliamentarism in the Ukrainian lands during their stay in the Commonwealth. The county Sejm of the Belz Voivodeship in the 1570s is used as an example. Particular attention is paid to the activities of representatives of this region at the Toruń Sejm in 1576. As a result of the research, it is established that the Belz ambassadors were consolidating with the representatives of the Ukrainian voivodeships and the crown nobility in the main issues considered during this Sejm. Thus, the nobility demanded the establishment of the Crown Tribunal and the strengthening of the defense of the south-eastern borders of the state. Instead, the newly elected monarch insisted on the need to convene a joint movement to quell the uprising in Gdansk and adopt new taxes. Due to the different positions of the king and the Chamber of Ambassadors, the Sejm ended without the adoption of the Constitution and the Universal Order.

La caracterización mineralógica de un concentrado de plomo del distrito minero de Zimapán, Hidalgo, México, se realizó con la finalidad de identificar la presencia de sulfuros ternarios cuya prevalencia en el subproducto se atribuye a su naturaleza compleja. Estas especies minerales contienen una importante concentración de plata cuya extracción representa un importante valor agregado para el concentrado y su estudio abre pauta al desarrollo de nuevos procesos de lixiviación para la posterior recuperación del metal precioso. Para el proceso de caracterización se utilizó la combinación de varias técnicas analíticas como: Microscopia Óptica de Polarización (MOP), Microscopía Electrónica de Barrido (MEB) con espectrómetro de dispersión de energía (EDS) y Difracción de rayos X (DRX). Los resultados del análisis químico-granulométrico confirmaron la presencia de plata en una concentración promedio de 3.6 kg., y determinaron que la mayor distribución de plata en el concentrado se encuentra en el conjunto de partículas acotadas

 

Los resultados de la caracterización fueron complementados por cada una de las técnicas antes mencionadas y reportaron una mineralización argentífera, constituida principalmente por sulfosales de Ag como la tetraedrita, freibergita (Ag4.2As0.12Cu5.82Fe1.56S13Sb3.88Zn0.42), polibasita (Ag3.1As0.203CuS22Sb3.793), y en menor medida argentita (Ag2S), también se observó la presencia de metales base asociados en forma de sulfuros. La matriz de la muestra mineral corresponde a la galena (PbS).

Published: January 2021

Los recursos geotérmicos son conocidos por sus manifestaciones térmicas más comunes: manantiales termales. Actualmente, en el estado de Hidalgo la geotermia está limitada al uso directo de la balneología, sin embargo, no es la única aplicación de la que se puede obtener algún beneficio socio-económico. La generación de electricidad a partir del calor interno de la Tierra es el proceso de mayor beneficio de la geotermia desde finales del siglo XX. En México la primera planta geotérmica se instaló en la comunidad de Pathé, en el estado de Hidalgo;desde entonces y hasta la actualidad, el campo de exploración hacia la geotermia se extendió, estableciendo hasta el momento 5 plantas geotérmicas en todo el país con una capacidad neta de 950 MW.

Existen pocas investigaciones dirigidas a la exploración geotérmica en Hidalgo, por esta razón, se propone una metodología para localizar el potencial geotérmico que se encuentra en la región por medio de un análisis cualitativo con aquellas variables que favorecen la acumulación de energía geotérmica, estas variables son: geomorfología, geología, crono-estratigrafía, flujo de calor y geofísica, utilizando Sistemas de Información geográfica (SIG) y métodos potenciales.

El área de estudio es el estado de Hidalgo, pero se discriminaron aquellas zonas de menor relevancia permitiendo la delimitación de una zona en particular, esta zona se denominó “play geotérmico”, la cual se localiza en la porción central del estado. La zona cubre aproximadamente 7200 km2 con una longitud cercana a los 170 km y se distribuye con una dirección preferencial noroeste-sureste (NW-SE). Con el fin de determinar las zonas potencialmente geotérmicas se utilizó el método de Suma Ponderada por medio de algebra de mapas para obtener un índice de potencial geotérmico, este método permite la asignación de ponderaciones según el grado de relevancia para la acumulación de energía geotérmica a partir de una previa re-clasificación de las variables analizadas. Con los resultados de esta investigación se diseñó un mapa que muestra las zonas de menor y mayor potencial geotérmico, y así, aportar información a la industria geotérmica que será de utilidad para la prospección de este recurso y su futura aplicación en el sector energético.

Published: January 2021

El desarrollo del presente trabajo se centra en determinar cuál es la participación de la mujer en los puestos de la alta dirección en México, para lo cual se realizó un análisis documental, tal es el caso de la base de datos de empresas que cotizan en la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (BMV) e importantes publicaciones especialistas en el tema.

Como parte del análisis se establecen los conceptos más importantes que tienen que ver con el desarrollo personal y laboral de la mujer, así como los porcentajes que países europeos y latinoamericanos están registrando sobre el número de mujeres que participan en la alta dirección, de esto se puede resaltar que la mujer emprendedora, decidida y preparada está compitiendo decididamente por ocupar estos puestos, a pesar del alto grado de discriminación que durante mucho tiempo ha padecido.

Así mismo es factible establecer que su lucha constante contra los estereotipos y la equidad de género ha tenido avances importantes, principalmente en países Europeos como Noruega quien ha logrado que un 47% de los puestos en la alta dirección estén ocupados por mujeres, en el caso de países como México ha conseguido tener presencia en un 18%, similares porcentajes se pueden observar en algunos países de Latinoamérica, así mismo se determina que la aportación que la mujer puede dar como resultado con el solo hecho de lograrse un avance en la equidad de género, puede ser de hasta 12 billones de dólares al crecimiento mundial para el año 2025.

Sampah dan pengelolaannya masih menjadi masalah bersama. Diperkirakan 175.000 ton sampah dihasilkan dalam sehari dan didominasi sampah rumah tangga. Berbagai usaha dilakukan untuk menangani masalah sampah termasuk Gerakan Memilah Sampah dari Rumah. Program-program penanganan sampah berbasis masyarakat pun digencarkan seperti Bogor Kabupatenku Green and Clean dengan menciptakan Kampung Ramah Lingkungan (KRL).

Namun pada kenyataannya sampah masih menjadi masalah termasuk di Kampung Sampora, Kelurahan Cibinong, Kabupaten Bogor. Meski memiliki KRL tetapi belum berjalan maksimal. Bahkan masih banyak sampah yang dibuang ke sungai dan pinggir jalan. Hal ini dikarenakan kurangnya pemahaman mengenai sampah, cara pengelolaan dan pemanfaatannya, kurangnya peralatan serta belum terbentuknya lembaga penyalur hasil pengelolaan dan pengendalian sampah seperti bank sampah.

Sejalan dengan program pilah sampah dari rumah, maka pengabdian ini diadakan untuk memberikan penyuluhan, pelatihan, dan pendampingan terhadap masyarakat Kampung Sampora, khususnya melibatkan pemberdayaan ibu rumah tangga sebagai perempuan yang paling banyak beraktifitas di rumah. Hal ini bertujuan untuksharing ilmu mengenai cara pemilahan sampah rumah tangga, pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan sampah dengan berbasis 3R (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle) dan pembentukan bank sampah sebagai wadah untuk menampung hasil dari pemilahan dan pengelolaan sampah. Selanjutnya masyarakat juga dibuatkan alat komposter untuk pengelolaan sampah organik yang mudah digunakan oleh para ibu rumah tangga. Hasilnya, para ibu rumah tangga merasakan tambahan pengetahuan dan bersemangat melakukan pilah sampah dari rumah disertai dengan pemanfaatannya termasuk memaksimalkan bank sampah yang baru terbentuk.

Masyarakat suatu bangsa memiliki hubungan yang vertikal terhadap kualitas bangsa. Tingginya minat membaca buku seseorang berpengaruh terhadap wawasan, mental, dan prilaku seseorang. Bangsa Indonesia adalah bangsa dengan tingkat literasi yang masih rendah padahal sudah 70 tahun sejak Indonesia menjadi negara merdeka. Ada banyak faktor kenapa literasi masyarakat Indonesia memilki persentase yang rendah. Permasalahan ini harus segera mendapatkan perhatian serius bukan hanya dari pemerintah tapi dari kita semua. Bagaimana wacana mengenai minat baca menjadi terlaksana untuk semua kalangan masyarakat ketika kita masih memiliki keterbatasan jumlah buku yang dibaca ?. Maka gerakan donasi 5000 buku tahap ke-2 ini adalah dalam upaya membangun budaya literasi dan semangat literasi di Indonesia dan di Banten khususnya. Ketika budaya literasi menjadi sebuah budaya di Indonesia maka bukanlah mustahil bangsa kita akan menjadi bangsa yang maju.

Becoming a female worker abroad, especially in Middle Eastern countries, Malaysia is the dream and hope for most women and families in Lebak Kepuh Village. Family poverty factor is the main reason for families to send their children to work abroad. Working as farm laborers and getting caught up in loan sharks forced these families to send their children to become TKW. Private Indonesian Employment Service Delivery Companies (PPTKIS) have sprung up as a connector between workers and overseas job providers. However, unfortunately, many of these PPTKIS are not registered with the Ministry of Manpower and some are looking to the villages to seduce women to be sent to work abroad or in the capital city with the lure of a large salary. Even though this is often not true. Instead of getting a job, they are even traded in the trafficking of people into commercial sex workers and / or into illegal labor. This activity aims to socialize Law Number 21 of 2017 concerning the Eradication of the Crime of Trafficking in Persons. The causes, methods, methods and consequences of victims of trafficking in persons are presented and described in this activity. This includes serious legal sanctions that will be imposed on parties who deliberately commit the criminal act of trafficking in persons. Village officials ranging from neighborhood units, neighborhood units to village officials are at the forefront of preventing criminal acts of trafficking in persons because the form of trafficking begins with manipulating population data for poor families who want to send their children to work in public families, reporting companies that supply illegal foreign workers to the authorities. is an effort to stop the criminal act of trafficking in persons (women) in Desa Lebak Kepuh , Kecamatan Lebak , Serang Regency.

Scabies merupakan penyakit kulit yang disebabkan oleh infeksi Sarcoptes scabiei. Penyakit tersebut dapat mempengaruhi produktifitas kambing. Penelitian dengan metode deskriptif ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat prevalensi scabies pada kambing peranakan etawa di wilayah Kecamatan Dander Kabupaten Bojonegoro. Materi penelitian adalah peternak kambing di wilayah Desa Dander, Desa Growok, Desa Sumberarum, Desa Ngunut dan Desa Karangsono. Dengan syarat minimal beternak kambing lebih dari 1 tahun. Metode penelitian adalah metode survey dan pengumpulan data yang terdiri dari data primer dan data sekunder. Data yang diperoleh dari hasil wawancara responden dilapangan diolah dan ditabulasi, dan dijelaskan secara deskriptif. Prosentase prevalensi dihitung dengan membagi kambing yang terinfeksi scabies dengan jumlah populasi dikalikan 100 %.Hasil penelitian menunjukan kambing yang terinfeksi scabies dari 5 Desa di Kecamatan Dander Kabupaten Bojonegoro adalah 27,1 %; hal ini dikarenakan kambing yang jarang dimandikan, kelembaban kandang dan kebersihan kandang yang kurang dipedulikan oleh peternak.

Abstract: Butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea L.) is a flowering plant from the Fabecea family that can grow vines. Butterfly pea flower are known to have chemical components that can act as antioxidants. This study aims to predict the potential of active compounds from methanol extract of butterfly pea flower in inhibiting reactive oxygen species (ROS) based on bond affinity (∆G), the value of Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) and their interactions. The method used was a computational method with in silico technique. The software used was Autodock Vina with visualization using the Biovia Discovery Studio Visualizer 2020. The enzyme receptor was NADPH Oxidase (NOX) obtained from Protein Data Bank and the test ligands were a chemical compound from methanol extract of butterfly pea flower. The results of the in silico study showed that the NO had a innate ligand, namely the GTP ligand which has a ∆G value of -7.3 kcal/mol, an RMSD value of 3.1111 Å and the interaction with the receptor that involves the presence of hydrogen bonds. Based on the results of the analysis of 11 test ligands, the chemical component of caffeine was predicted to have the most potential in inhibiting ROS compounds with a value of ∆G -5.4, RMSD value of 1.328 Å and had the same amino acid residue in hydrogen bonding, namely ASP118, and GLY15. The test ligand had the ability to inhibit ROS compounds with a lower level of stability than the innate ligand.

Model ensembles have several benefits compared to single-model applications but are not frequently used within the lake modelling community. Setting up and running multiple lake models can be challenging and time consuming, despite the many similarities between the existing models (forcing data, hypsograph, etc.). Here we present an R package, LakeEnsemblR, that facilitates running ensembles of five different one-dimensional hydrodynamic lake models (FLake, GLM, GOTM, Simstrat, MyLake). The package requires input in a standardised format and a single configuration file. LakeEnsemblR formats these files to the input files required by each model, and provides functions to run and calibrate the models. The outputs of the different models are compiled into a single file, and several post-processing operations are supported. LakeEnsemblR’s workflow standardisation can simplify model benchmarking, sharing of output files, and improve collaborations between aquatic scientists. We showcase the successful application of LakeEnsemblR for two different lakes.

Internalizing symptoms typically emerge in adolescence and are more prevalent in females than in males; in contrast, externalizing symptoms typically emerge in childhood and are more commonly observed in males. Previous research has implicated aspects of white matter organization, including fractional anisotropy (FA), of cerebral tracts in both internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Although the cerebellum has been posited to integrate limbic and cortical regions, its role in psychopathology is not well understood. In this longitudinal study, we investigated whether FA of the superior (SCP), middle, and inferior cerebellar peduncles predict change in symptoms and whether sex moderates this association. 111 adolescents completed the Youth Self-Report, assessing symptoms at baseline (ages 9-13 years) and again two years later. Participants also underwent diffusion-weighted imaging at baseline. We used deterministic tractography to segment and compute mean FA of the cerebellar peduncles. Lower FA of the right SCP at baseline predicted increases in internalizing symptoms in females only (t(103)=−0.47, p=.020). Lower FA in the right SCP and inferior cerebellar peduncle also predicted increases in externalizing symptoms, but these associations did not survive multiple comparisons correction. There was no association between FA of the cerebellar peduncles and change in symptoms in males, or between middle cerebellar peduncle FA and symptom changes in males or females. Organizational properties of the SCP may be a sex-specific marker of internalizing symptom changes in adolescence. The cerebellar peduncles should be explored further in future studies to elucidate sex differences in internalizing and externalizing symptoms.
