Review of Mobile Cloud Computing in Healthcare for Diabetics Patients Using Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: G Renugadevi.
Published: December 2021

Abstract: The number of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and others is fast increasing in our daily lives. The disadvantages of the traditional healthcare system are becoming more prevalent. One of the most important is that healthcare is only offered in hospitals. No one has access to it and no one is monitoring it. Patients' information is securely acquired from the hospital, with their consent, and monitored on a regular basis using their smart phones in mobile cloud computing. On a daily basis, a real-time mobile cloud health monitoring system is used. The patient's specifics concerning various metrics for data collection, such as blood glucose level, high/low blood pressure, high cholesterol, oxygen level, and so on, are being monitored. Diabetic patients are tracked via mobile cloud-IoT and certain wearable health tracking devices and sensors. Doctors will review the individuals' medical records and make recommendations for improving their health. In the future, it will aid in the control or recovery of diabetics. To provide improved security and performance, the proposed system can leverage advanced encryption techniques in conjunction with a machine learning classifier.

Prediction of Air Pollution in Smart Cities Using Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: G Mrs. Gowri
Published: December 2021

Abstract: Air-pollution is one of the main threats for developed societies. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), pollution is the main cause of deaths among children aged under five years. Smart cities are called to play a decisive role to increase such pollution in real-time. The increase in air pollution due to fossil fuel consumption as well as its ill effects on the climate has made air pollution forecasting an important research area in today’s times. Deployment of the Internet of things (IoT) based sensors has considerably changed the dynamics of predicting air quality. prediction of spatio-temporal data has been one of the major challenges in creating a good predictive model. There are many different approaches which have been used to create an accurate predictive model. Primitive predictive machine learning algorithms like simple linear regression have failed to produce accurate results primarily due to lack of computing power but also due to lack of optimization techniques. A recent development in deep learning as well as improvements in computing resources has increased the accuracy of predicting time series data. However, with large spatio-temporal data sets spanning over years. Employing regression models on the entire data can cause per date predictions to be corrupted. In this work, we look at dealing with pre-processing the times series. However, pre-processing involves a similarity measure, we explore the use of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW). K-means is then used to classify the spatio-temporal pollution data over a period of 16 years from 2000 to 2016. Here Mean Absolute error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) have been used as evaluation criteria for the comparison of regression models.

Authors: Singhal Ishaan
Published: December 2021

Abstract: Fake Products is a serious issue, as in today’s world we can’t really distinguish between real and fake product. And some people make these fake products just to make some profit without thinking about its impact on user and also affects company’s name, profit and sales. Blockchain technology can be used to detect whether the product is real or fake and assure user about the authenticity of the product. Blockchain is a trending technology and lot of applications are using this technology. Blockchain technology is the technology where information is stored in the form of blocks in many databases which is connected with the chains and it doesn’t require any third-party users for permission. Benefits of blockchain is that it is immutable and secure. It is decentralized and distributed. We can use Quick Response [1] (QR) code or an encrypted unique code which is a very efficient technique to detect fake product. When the QR code is scanned or the unique code in entered, it will redirect us to the blockchain containing the information of the product and provides us the details of the manufacturer and information of owner to make decision easy for buyer if they are looking to buy the product. Keywords: Blockchain, Fake Product, Ownership, QR code, Anti-counterfeit

Em direção a uma utopia espacializada: romantismo e vida cotidiana no marxismo de Henri Lefebvre
Authors: Santos César Ricardo Simoni
Published: December 2021

A presença do elemento espacial na reflexão de Henri Lefebvre não é mero resultado do trabalho de tradução e adaptação do pensamento crítico desenvolvido até o seu tempo. A compreensão de que nem mesmo a mais elevada expressão da tradição crítica havia notado suficientemente essa dimensão crucial da vida é um dos pontos de ligação entre o avanço teórico representado pela orientação espacial da crítica e o esforço de renovação do horizonte utópico. Uma assimilação muito particular do trabalho de juventude de Marx e a proximidade com o romantismo revolucionário, sobretudo de extração nietzschiana, tiveram impacto decisivo na concepção lefebvriana. A prática, o corpo, o gozo e os instintos, recobrando lugar na imaginação social crítica, se tornam a base da refundação de um programa teórico-prático que envolve a formulação da noção de direito à cidade. A perspectiva da apropriação substitui, assim, os vagos enunciados emancipatórios das filosofias do sujeito.
Cotidiano, imprensa e política: a construção simbólica da cidade de Goiânia por intermédio do jornal O Popular
Authors: Seabra Coelho George Leonardo
Published: December 2021

Este artigo discute a relação entre a imprensa e o espaço urbano na construção simbólica da cidade de Goiânia. O estudo se detém no período entre a criação do jornal O Popular até a inauguração oficial da cidade, em 1942. Para tanto, faz-se um breve retrospecto da ascensão política de Pedro Ludovico Teixeira, contemplando o projeto de transferência da capital de Goiás e a criação de O Popular. Destaca-se como esse diário inseriu o leitor nas opções de lazer no novo espaço urbano e na promoção do Batismo Cultural. Por último, apresenta-se como o diário noticiou a “campanha pró-bandeirante” como estratégia de aproximação simbólica entre a nova capital e o projeto estado-novista. Como se verá, esse jornal cumpriu dois papéis no cotidiano da cidade de Goiânia: i) como órgão noticioso das dinâmicas da nova cidade e ii) como órgão de propaganda política de alinhamento das elites locais em torno do projeto modernizador do Estado Novo.

Published: December 2021

Background: Acharacteristic feature of cancer is, among other things, that even after successful oncological treatment, the patient cannot close this chapter of life and the experience of being acancer patient. In oncology there is no unambiguous definition of apatient as ahealthy person. Methods: The study covered agroup of 20 people. In the con- ducted tests the diagnostic survey method was introduced. The technique of individual in-depth interviews was used. The re- spondent could fully express his or her own feelings, emotions, thoughts and experiences. Results. The respondents stated that positive emotions ap- peared with the completion of treatment, but indicated that the feelings were not related to the sense of healing but only to the completion of tiring therapeutic procedures. Some respondents complained about the feeling of chronic fatigue. Fatigue was not only related to the physical sphere, although everyone con- firmed that the side effects of the therapy persisted for some time. The respondents paid more attention to mental fatigue, which had various forms, e.g.: anxiety about possible relapse; functional losses; feeling of loss caused by radical treatment. Out of 20 respondents, 4 persons indicated aloss of health, es- pecially the sense of joy and happiness, self-esteem, self-con- fidence, social contacts, family and time. Conclusions: The research group consisted of 20 respondents, which limits the possibility of formulating generalized con- clusions, but indicates various directions of possible improve- ment and, most importantly, shows how the thinking about can- cer can be changed.

Constitutional Court’s of the Russian Federation Impact on Public Property (Part 2)
Authors: Shulzhenko S. I.
Published: December 2021

The article focuses on the main principles of public property as Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation formulates them. The author reveals actual problems of public property as a complex institution, including mainly constitutional, administrative, financial, and in a less degree civil law. There is a direct relation between public property, public finance, budget, legal regime of the territory concerned and citizens’ public rights. Establishment of a legal regime of the territory helps to preserve current public land and property usage and provides public rights. The ability of public property unilateral transfer to another level of public ownership is justified. Meantime in the context of specialized public housing stock problem the author suggests sensitive decision for the legal status of quarters as a specialized commercial housing stock. Legal positions of the Constitutional Court promote effective solution to the conflict within the community and provide guidance for the legislative and law-enforcement activity.
Measuring Political Trust in a Modern Democracy
Authors: Kirilenko V. P. , Alekseev G. V.
Published: December 2021

Systematic review of articles on the problem of measuring political trust published in such authoritative scientific journals as “European Political Science Review”, “British Journal of Politics and International Relations”, “Parliamentary Affairs”, “Journal of Public Policy”, “Political Science Quarterly”, “Perspectives on Politics” and “International Journal of Public Opinion Research”, demonstrates considerable attention of scientists to the problem of political trust in a modern democracy and pursues as its goal the development of a methodological basis for political trust research. The methodology of the review on the problem of measuring political trust involves a comparative analysis of the results of studies in the field of assessing political trust. Among the main tasks of the article are: generalization of scientific approaches to political trust, development of methods for political trust measurements and its result interpretation, characterization of the crisis of trust in a modern democracy. The objectives of the study include identifying conceptual scientific works of Western scientists for the period 2011–2021, which allow tracing the modernization of ideas about the object of political trust, characterize the methods of measuring the level of political trust used in modern socio-political science, and reveal differences in the formation of moral and strategic trust. The differences in moral political trust, where trusting relationships are formed on the basis of the experience and personal interaction of subjects, and strategic trust, where political culture is formed and certain expectations that political leaders will make correct, rational decisions are based on fundamental ideas about the political an order where constant change forms personal and institutional ties. Measuring political trust, which is the basis of interaction between citizens and the state, is an issue of fundamental importance for characterizing the quality of democracy, and the rule of law is impossible without a high level of political trust.

Authors: Kashina M. A. , Lyashko S. V. , Tkach S.
Published: December 2021

Research on values is important both for the development of sociology and for. practices of social management, they provide the necessary basis for effective public policy.

The purpose of this article was to analyze the current agenda for the study of values by building theoretical and methodological thematic clusters. An optional task was to describe the thematic thesaurus used by the authors of the articles on values. The hypothesis was tested that the theory of social status in relation to economic topics received the greatest recognition in the current agenda. The study was carried out in a quantitative design, the method of content analysis was used, followed by the calculation of the c-correlation coefficient between the three semantic components of the study: topic, theory, methodology. The empirical material was the abstracts of 132 articles published in 21 sociological journals, included in the 1 quartile of Scopus in 2016–2020. Articles were selected according to the author’s search method. The limitations of the study are the 5-year time period, the language of the article (English), the use of only abstract texts for analysis, and not the articles themselves, the author’s method of building clusters (it is possible to build clusters on other grounds).

Results. The main hypothesis was confirmed. The strongest connection was recorded between the theory of social status and economic topics (c-correlation coefficient — 0.62). The smallest connection was found between family values and theories about values as ideal representations (0.21). At the same time, the coefficient of connection between theories and research topics is, on average, lower than that of methodologies and topics. Qualitative methodology is mentioned by authors of articles on values a little more often than quantitative one. (114 qualitative versus 103 quantitative). In the thematic thesaurus, the greatest diversity is recorded in the research area “Labor and Economics”, the least — in the areas “Family” and “Education”. Despite the fact that the group of articles dealing with values in the sphere of politics is the second largest in the sample with 87 articles (66%), only 15 frequently used terms were included in its thematic thesaurus. In the area of “Labor and Economics”, 65 significant terms were identified; in total, materials of 111 articles (84%) were attributed to this area.

The directions of further researchare related to the study of the isomorphism of the agenda for the study of values in international and Russian sociology, as well as the analysis of substantive discrepancies in the study of values in the same sphere of life between Russian and foreign sociologists.

A combined low and high cycle fatigue life prediction model considering the crack closure effect of micro-defects based on the continuous damage mechanics
Authors: Ding Xin , Yan Xiaojun , Huang Dawei , Guo Zixu , Guo Kaimin
Published: December 2021

In this study, a combined low and high cycle fatigue (CCF) life
prediction model, which considers the crack closure effect (CCE) of
micro-defects, is proposed based on the continuous damage mechanics. The
CCF life prediction model is decomposed into three sub-models: the low
cycle fatigue (LCF), high cycle fatigue (HCF) under the maximum stress
of LCF (HCFLM), and their coupled damage models. The CCE is considered
by taking one CCE parameter into the HCFLM sub-model. The experimental
CCF data of K403 full-scale turbine blades under different vibration
stresses is used to verify the accuracy of the proposed model to compare
with other life prediction models. The prediction life from the proposed
model falls within the 2 times of scatter band compared with the
experimental results. Further, there are the different damage evolution
forms at different vibration stresses. When the vibration stress is
below 64.48MPa, the CCF damage mainly is caused by the LCF damage.
However, while the vibration stress is higher than 64.48MPa, the HCFLM
damage plays a major role in the CCF damage accumulation, and it is
predicted that the CCF damage of the first stage serration on the K403
turbine blades is mainly from LCF.

The processes governing soil bacteria biogeography are still not fully
understood. It remains unknown how the importance of environmental
filtering and dispersal differs between bacterial taxonomic and
functional biogeography, and whether their importance is
scale-dependent. We sampled soils at 195 plots across the Tibet plateau,
with distances among plots ranging from 20 m to 1 550 km. Taxonomic
composition of bacterial community was characterized by 16S amplicon
sequencing, and functional community composition by qPCR targeting 9
functional groups involved in N dynamics. Twelve climatic and soil
characteristics were also measured. Both taxonomic and functional
dissimilarities were more related to environmental dissimilarity than
geographic distance. Taxonomic dissimilarity was mostly explained by
soil pH and organic matter, while functional dissimilarity was mostly
linked to moisture, temperature and N, P and C availabilities. The roles
of environmental filtering and dispersal were, however, scale-dependent
and varied between taxonomic and functional dissimilarities, with
distance affecting taxonomic dissimilarity over short distances
(<~300 km) and functional dissimilarity over
long distances (>~600 km). The importance
of different environmental predictors varied across scales more for
functional than taxonomic dissimilarity. Our results demonstrate how
biodiversity dimension (taxonomic versus functional) and spatial scale
strongly influence the conclusions derived from bacterial biogeography
studies.
Modelling of Technical Efficiency of Indian Scientific Laboratories using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)

Performance Measurement (PM) is a thoughtful demand of every sector for
a sustainable growth. There are intangible factors known as economic
growth drivers, where Research and Development (R&D), is a vital
indicator. As per Global Innovation Index–2020, India ranks 48th among
the 131 economies for its education, software exports, R&D and market
value. Every year, a massive amount is invested in research labs but the
output generated is much lower as compared to world average. Measurement
of Scientific Productivity (SP) is a genesis of this though. Earlier,
Publications and Patents were considered as means to identify growth but
there exists a need holistic measurement of innovative potential. In
this study, Technical Efficiency (TEs) of Indian Scientific Laboratories
(CSIR) was measured using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with few more
parameters – Scientific Performance Indicators (SPIs). This study
concluded with demarcation of efficient and lesser efficient
laboratories during a specific period. This study would contribute
towards an introspection by policy makers and government to re-evaluate
the organizational outputs as per their mandates. Such studies are
envisaged to assess the strength and weakness and furthermore, plan to
contribute efficiently to increase in productivity of organization and
national economy as well.
Gut microbiota composition does not associate with Toxoplasma infection in rats

Published: December 2021

Toxoplasma infection in intermediate host species closely associates
with inflammation. This association has led to suggestions that the
behavioural changes associated with infection may be indirectly driven
by the resulting sustained inflammation rather than a direct behavioural
manipulation by the parasite. If this is correct, sustained inflammation
in chronically infected rodents should present as widespread changes in
the gastrointestinal microbiota due to the dependency between the
composition of these microbiota and sustained inflammation. We conducted
a randomized controlled experiment in rats that were assigned to a
Toxoplasma-treatment, placebo-treatment or negative control group. We
sacrificed rats during the chronic phase of infection, collected their
cecal stool samples and sequenced the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene
to characterise the bacterial community in these samples. Toxoplasma
infection did not induce widespread changes in the bacterial community
composition of the gastrointestinal tract of rats. Rather, we found sex
differences in the bacterial community composition and only minor
changes in Toxoplasma infected rats. We conclude that it is unlikely
that sustained inflammation is the mechanism driving the highly specific
behavioural changes observed in Toxoplasma-positive rats.
Evaluation of electronic medication management systems on inpatient omitted dose rates at 2 acute metropolitan hospitals
Authors: Wembridge Paul , Ng Miranda
Published: December 2021

Rationale, aim and objectives: Medication error is common and the most
common form of administration error is omission. Implementation of
Electronic Medication Management systems (eMMS) has been hypothesized to
decrease the rate of omitted doses due to the creation of a number of
forcing functions and decision support tools however there is limited
evidence currently available in the literature to support this
assumption. This study therefore aims to ascertain if implementation of
eMMS at 2 acute metropolitan hospitals reduces the rate of omitted doses
Method: A retrospective cohort study was undertaken pre and post
implementation of eMMS. Patients meeting eligibility criteria had all
medication charts from their admission reviewed and an omitted dose rate
calculated. For each omitted dose identified; medication name, imprest
availability, dispensing history, administration time and frequency were
recorded. Results: 386 patients met eligibility criteria for this study
(11,796 opportunities for omission). The implementation of eMMS was
associated with a significant reduction in omitted doses (3.6% vs 1.8%
p<0.01). Benefit was not consistent among subgroups. eMMS
implementation at the hospital with the higher baseline omitted dose
rate was associated with a significant reduction in omitted doses (5.8%
vs 0.9% p<0.01) but not at the hospital with a lower baseline
rate (2.7% vs 2.4% p=0.3). The most common times for an omitted dose
to occur were 0800 (33%) and 2000 (18%). The most common frequencies
for an omitted dose were daily (35%) and twice daily (32%).
Conclusion: The introduction of eMMS was associated with a decrease rate
of omitted doses. Greatest benefit is likely to occur in areas with a
high baseline rate of omission.

Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias are a group of heterogeneous
early-onset progressive disorders that some of them are treatable. We
performed 4-year-follow up for 25 patients that considered as treatable
ataxia in the literature. According to our study, patients would benefit
from early detection of treatable ataxia, close observation, and
follow-up.
Prediction of cell penetrating peptides and their uptake efficiency using random forest-based feature selections
Authors: Liu Peng , Ding Yijie , Rong Ying , Chen Dong
Published: December 2021

Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short peptides that can carry
biomolecules of varying sizes across the cell membrane into the
cytoplasm. Correctly identifying CPPs is the basis for studying their
functions and mechanisms. Here, we propose a novel CPP predictor that is
able to predict CPPs and their uptake efficiency. In our method, five
feature descriptors are applied to encode the sequence and compose a
hybrid feature vector. Afterward, the wrapper + random forest algorithm
is employed, which combines feature selection with the prediction
process to find features that are crucial for identifying CPPs. The
jackknife cross validation result shows that our predictor is comparable
to state-of-the-art CPP predictors, and our method reduces the feature
dimension, which improves computational efficiency and avoids
overfitting, allowing our predictor to be adopted to identify
large-scale CPP data.

A Revista On line de Política e Gestão Educacional, em seu número especial XX de novembro de 2021, apresenta um compilado de estudos de pesquisadores ligados ao Grupo de Pesquisa - Coletivo de Professores e Pesquisadores em Políticas Públicas (COPPE) da Pós-graduação em Educação da Universidade Estadual Paulista – campus de Marília, bem como estudos de autores convidados que desenvolvem pesquisas na área educacional.

O COPPE vem, desde 2009, dedicando-se aos estudos voltados para a Educação Comparada e Internacional, seus desafios, possibilidades e contribuições. Em relação aos estudos comparativos em Educação, em termos de Brasil, observa-se que a maioria dos cursos de formação de professores não contempla a Educação Comparada em suas trajetórias formativas, mesmo não se constituindo um campo recente e contando com um acervo considerável de defensores.
Políticas públicas educacionais e democracia no cenário político brasileiro
Authors: Lourenço Flávia Oliveira de Assis , Gomes Fernanda Gonçalves , Damiance Patrícia Ribeiro Mattar
Published: December 2021

Este manuscrito analisará a relação, nem sempre explícita, entre políticas públicas educacionais e democracia, a fim de repercutir a compreensão dessas correlações na educação contemporânea e na consolidação do Estado democrático de direito no Brasil. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa ou crítica da literatura, estruturada em duas partes. A primeira parte está assentada em uma síntese sobre o papel do Estado na concepção e na execução de políticas educacionais e na ideia de se pensar as políticas públicas ontologicamente. Já a segunda parte, alicerça-se em movimentos de reverberação, de contextualização, de generalização e de síntese do discurso do cientista político Yascha Mounk.
