Published: June 2021

Supplementation of inferior quality roughages with organic fertilizer coming up as a practical approach to increasing crop productivity significantly by way of increasing biological nitrogen fixation, increasing availability or uptake of nutrients through solubilization or increasing absorption stimulation of plant growth through hormonal action or antibiosis or decomposition of organic residues and this reflect to improving roughages utilization and digestibility by animal. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of supplementation of three types of organic fertilizers; Neem cake (Azdirachta indica), Argel (Solennostemma argel/Del. Hayenne) and Field fertilizer on nutritional quality of fodder maize (Zea mays L.). Four treatments were conducted which included Neem cake, Argel , Field Fertilizer and control. The experiment was arranged in a Complete Randomized Block Design, with three replicated. The results showed that no significant differences (P ˃ 0.05) were indicated in all nutrient components of fodder maize except for crude protein (CP). CP increased significantly (P ˂ 0.05) by organic fertilizers comparing with control. Neem cake had the highest value of CP than argel and field fertilizer. No significant differences (P ˃ 0.05) were detected in minerals content measured when used Neem cake, Argel and Field fertilizer as organic fertilizer. It is concluded that organic fertilizers enhanced CP content and quality of fodder maize. As advantages, organic fertilizers is a cheap source of nitrogen that deficient in plant, and is safer than using chemical fertilizers and can avoid any adverse effect on animal health , soil and environmental hazards.
Automatic Sentiment Detection in Naturalistic Audio
Authors: Sharma Yash
Published: June 2021

This paper proposed another Audio notion investigation utilizing programmed discourse acknowledgment is an arising research territory where assessment or opinion showed by a speaker is identified from regular sound. It is moderately under-investigated when contrasted with text-based notion identification. Separating speaker estimation from common sound sources is a difficult issue. Nonexclusive techniques for feeling extraction by and large use records from a discourse acknowledgment framework, and interaction the record utilizing text-based estimation classifiers. In this examination, we show that this standard framework is imperfect for sound assessment extraction. Then again, new engineering utilizing watchword spotting (UWS) is proposed for assumption discovery. In the new engineering, a book-based assessment classifier is used to naturally decide the most helpful and discriminative feeling bearing watchword terms, which are then utilized as a term list for UWS. To get a minimal yet discriminative assumption term list, iterative element enhancement for most maximum entropy estimation model is proposed to diminish model intricacy while keeping up powerful grouping precision. The proposed arrangement is assessed on sound acquired from recordings in youtube.com and UT-Opinion corpus. Our exploratory outcomes show that the proposed UWS based framework fundamentally outflanks the conventional engineering in distinguishing assumption for testing reasonable undertakings.

Authors: Khedekar S. P.
Published: June 2021

Concrete is the premier construction material around the world and is most widely used in all types of construction works, including infrastructure, low and high-rise buildings, and domestic developments. It is a man-made product, essentially consisting of a mixture of cement, aggregates, water and admixture(s). Inert granular materials such as sand, crushed stone or gravel form the major part of the aggregates. Traditionally aggregates have been readily available at economic prices and of qualities to suit all purposes. But the continued extensive extraction use of aggregates from natural resources has been questioned because of the depletion of quality primary aggregates and greater awareness of environmental protection. In light of this, the non-availability of natural resources to future generations has also been realized. Different alternative waste materials and industrial by products such as fly ash, bottom ash, recycled aggregates, foundry sand, China clay sand, crumb rubber, glass were replaced with natural aggregate and investigated properties of the concretes. Apart from above mentioned waste materials and industrial by products, few studies identified that coconut shells, the agricultural by product can also be used as aggregate in concrete. According to a report, coconut is grown in more than 86 countries worldwide, with a total production of 54 billion nuts per annum. India occupies the premier position in the world with an annual production of 13 billion nuts, followed by Indonesia and the Philippines.

Malware Detection using Deep Learning
Authors: Krishna T. Shiva Rama
Published: June 2021

Malicious software or malware continues to pose a major security concern in this digital age as computer users, corporations, and governments witness an exponential growth in malware attacks. Current malware detection solutions adopt Static and Dynamic analysis of malware signatures and behaviour patterns that are time consuming and ineffective in identifying unknown malwares. Recent malwares use polymorphic, metamorphic and other evasive techniques to change the malware behaviour’s quickly and to generate large number of malwares. Since new malwares are predominantly variants of existing malwares, machine learning algorithms are being employed recently to conduct an effective malware analysis. This requires extensive feature engineering, feature learning and feature representation. By using the advanced MLAs such as deep learning, the feature engineering phase can be completely avoided. Though some recent research studies exist in this direction, the performance of the algorithms is biased with the training data. There is a need to mitigate bias and evaluate these methods independently in order to arrive at new enhanced methods for effective zero-day malware detection. To fill the gap in literature, this work evaluates classical MLAs and deep learning architectures for malware detection, classification and categorization with both public and private datasets. The train and test splits of public and private datasets used in the experimental analysis are disjoint to each other’s and collected in different timescales. In addition, we propose a novel image processing technique with optimal parameters for MLAs and deep learning architectures. A comprehensive experimental evaluation of these methods indicate that deep learning architectures outperform classical MLAs. Overall, this work proposes an effective visual detection of malware using a scalable and hybrid deep learning framework for real-time deployments. The visualization and deep learning architectures for static, dynamic and image processing-based hybrid approach in a big data environment is a new enhanced method for effective zero-day malware detection.

Analysis of Fuzzy Based Directional Median Filter with Mixed Noise
Authors: Kaurav Bhageerath Singh
Published: June 2021

All the sources of digital images like camera as well as communication methods like wireless or wired communication leads to corruption of pixels of digital image. Usually digital image consists of values from 0 to 255 where 0 represents black pixel and 255 represents white pixel. Due to above sources and communication method, these pixels change there value which leads to change in the output values. Mixed noise is popular now a day which is a combination of Gaussian noise and salt & pepper noise. Median filters are popular in removing the noise from the digital images. Fuzzy based controllers are very popular now a day to solve issues better than others. In this paper, we have discussed fuzzy logic, median filter and directional median filter to remove the corrupted pixels out of digital image. Parameters like PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) and MSE (Mean Square Error) are used for qualitative analysis of filter.

Closed Loop Reactive Power Compensation on a Single-Phase Transmission Line
Authors: Mounika G.
Published: June 2021

Nowadays the power consumption is increasing significantly. Due to this, the transmission lines are heavily loaded and in turn results in instability of the line. So orderly transmission of power is essential. For the proper operation of the load the voltage has to be maintained within the acceptable limit. Due to the changes in load, the voltage level of the line also changes. The voltage levels can be improved by using the reactive power compensator like capacitor banks, series compensator, STAT COM and svc. Here, we considered the SVC as reactive power compensator. This paper presents the reactive power compensation for a 230v transmission line model with variable inductive load using SVC and designed in Simulink. Here we considered the SVC model which contains of anti-thyristors in series to the inductor and a shunt capacitor. The required reactance is fed from the inductor to the transmission line by changing the gate triggering pulse to the thyristor pair. So, the main disadvantage of the open loop var compensation using svc is the triggering to the thyristor pair has to be changed every time depending on the load. This can overcome by implementing it using the feedback loop. Here for the feedback, we used the PI controller. under The PI controller gives the required gating pulse to the thyristor pair. The performance of this model is studied variable load conditions.

Published: June 2021

This article, being based on the analysis of literature and the author’s own materials, outlines the features of the lesion of the central nervous system in a new coronavirus infection. The main idea is that despite the primary damage to the respiratory tract, SARS-CoV-2 can be attributed to a number of signs as neurotropic viruses, which is ultimately realized by the transport of the pathogen COVID-19 from the place of primary localization — the respiratory tract to the human brain. The virus is capable of hitting all possible pathways of being transferred through tissues and within a short time appears in the brain, interacting with ACE2 receptors and co-receptors, which are expressed in almost all brain cells, neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microgliocytes, which carry out the main functional tasks of the brain. The clinical part is devoted to radiation diagnosis of lesions of the nervous system caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Analysis of the literature has made it possible to identify radiation variants of CNS lesions in COVID-19, illustrating the main clinical manifestations of the disease. There are several main clinical and morphological variants of CNS damage in COVID-19 1: acute ischemic stroke, acute encephalopathy, due to massive diffuse damage to the endothelium against the background of vasculitis / endotheliitis, occurring both with and without signs of cerebral artery thrombosis, hemorrhages, primarily of the type of small petechiae, polyetiologic in nature (endothelial damage, acute hypoxia, microembolism). In addition, hemorrhages can be a consequence of venous infarction against the background of sinus thrombosis. Radiological methods can diagnose multi-step lesions of the supra- and subtentorial white matter, vasculitis, in particular Susak’s syndrome, posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy — PRES, leukoencephalopathy, delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy, Miller–Fischer’s polyneuropathy (Guillain-Barre syndrome), syndrome.

Published: June 2021

Purpose of the study:to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of IVF/ICSI program for couples with HIV infected men.

Research and methods.Prospective clinical study was applied to 169 infertile married couples. The main group of subjects was 94 couples with HIV infected men. The control group included 75 couples with HIV negative status for both partners. In the main group there were carried out 60 treatment IVF/ICSI cycles and 31 frozen protocols, in the control group 86 and 39 cycles respectively. Before the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) was applied to the HIV infected men they were tested for DNA HIV in purified spermatozoa by PCR method. To evaluate the seroconversion in 21 days following the embryo transfer the women were tested for the presence of an antigen/antibodies to the HIV virus.

Results.Clinical pregnancy rate [6 (19,4%) and 17 (27%); p=0,41] as well as birth rate [5 (16,1%) and 11 (17,5%); p=0,87] in couples with HIV infected male was comparable to the control group. The testing of semen samples showed no RNA HIV in 100% cases. Evaluation of seroconversion showed absolutely no antibodies to HIV in the women’s blood in 100% cases.

Conclusion.Implementation of the IVF/ICSI program for discordant married couples with HIV infected male showed the rate of pregnancy onset which is comparable to the HIV seronegative control. Ejaculate processing of HIV infected male using «double» gradient and swim up is turns to be the measure to prevent horizontal transmission of the virus. This method can be recommended when implementing ART for couples with HIV infected male, both in the case of infertility and according to epidemiological indications.

Published: June 2021

A method has been developed for a comprehensive multi-criteria assessment of the efficiency of using inverter power plants as part of multifunctional energy-technological complexes with technical solutions aimed at reducing the negative consequences of the internal combustion engine operation with an optimal from the point of view of fuel efficiency speed. The method includes: synthesis of the optimal engine speed control algorithm, determination of the complex operating modes under operating conditions, assessment of changes in fuel consumption and harmful substances emissions with exhaust gases and resource consumption rate when the engine is switched to the operating mode with the optimal speed, complex technical and economic assessment of the inverter power plants efficiency. On the example of an inverter power plant with a capacity of 100 kW, the need to apply the method is proved. It was found that the engine operation with the optimal from the point of view of fuel efficiency speed and without additional design measures entails an increase in the damage accumulation rate by 1.7-2.1 times and therefore is economically inexpedient, despite a decrease in fuel consumption by 1% or more. It was found that a decrease in the compression ratio with a simultaneous increase in the boost pressure makes it possible to increase the engine resource up to a functional failure due to damage accumulation by 43% and to a parametric failure due to wear by 32%, while the operating costs of the inverter power plant will decrease by 3.7% relative to the base (no changes) power plants. The emission of soot particles will decrease by about 2 times, nitrogen oxides - by 2%, hydrocarbons - almost to zero.
Electron cyclotron converters of microwaves in wireless power transmission systems
Authors: Pirogov Yury A. , Kazaryan Gohar M. , Savvin Vladimir L.
Published: June 2021

A proposal to use special electron cyclotron devices as effective converters of electromagnetic waves into direct current in modern microwave systems for wireless transmission of electrical energy to the Earth via a microwave channel from solar space power plants located on board geostationary satellites is considered. Such converters are a product of domestic development, they can have a conversion efficiency of more than 80%, they are insensitive to overloads and are several orders of magnitude more economical than the well-known semiconductor rectennas (rectifying antennas). Semiconductor rectennas, assembled from a multitude of individual semiconductor diodes with a Schottky barrier, in the process of nonlinear conversion of microwaves, generate parasitic radiation that forms a powerful electromagnetic background, which seriously interferes with the stable operation of information systems of special and general civil communications. In addition, the cost of semiconductor rectennas is several orders of magnitude higher than that of electron-cyclotron converters with the same input microwave power. Due to the high compactness of the electronic converters, they can also be installed on an intermediate satellite platform in the stratosphere, receiving the energy of the Sun through a laser beam from a geostationary orbit and transmitting it to the Earth with practically no loss through the microwave channel. The possibilities of using electron cyclotron converters in ground-based systems for wireless energy transmission are also promising. Already the first electron cyclotron converters, created at the Torii enterprise according to the project of the Lomonosov Moscow State University, had an efficiency of over 60% at an input microwave power of 10 kW.
Integrating Role of the Conception of Language Personality in the Development of the Theory of Language
Authors: Shaposhnikova Irina V.
Published: June 2021

The article discusses the psycholinguistic explication of the phenomenon of the Russian language personality (RLP) on the experimentally obtained associative-verbal-network (AVN) model at the end of the XXth century and the methodological contribution of the RLP conception, proposed by Yu.N. Karaulov, to the development of a general theory of language. As a human-species-specific universal, LP can be studied within an interdisciplinary approach which suggests a complementary synthesis of the latest methodological and factological achievements in different branches of human sciences. All the facets of language functioning (systemic-structural, historical-cultural, psychological, and socio-communicative), that were highlighted earlier by Yu.N. Karaulov, are subject of interdisciplinary consideration, integrated within the conception of LP. Thus, conditions are created for a complementary use of the structural theory of language (whereby the language is viewed as an external object ) and a current theory of language within a person . Network approaches, widely used in a number of human sciences, help to identify different aspects of human formation. Yu.N. Karaulov proved that LP can be explicated only as a culturally-specific variety on the AVN model. This allows the author of the article to refer to the notion of intentional personality , that has been proposed by ethnologists and cultural anthropologists for their studies of the motivational aspects in socio-communicative interactions within a single cultural community. The author finds it appropriate to extrapolate the concept intentionality to the LP as a sense-generating and sense-organizing entity setting more-or-less flexible systematic stability to the persons internal image of the world and projecting this, often illogically organized, systematicity to the AVN. The advantages of using AVN model, in contrast to other network approaches, consist in its being capable to reflect the dominant socio-communicative attitudes which developed spontaneously by a natural order of emergence as the result of socialization of the studied community members. The author proceeds from an assumption about semantic accentuations of the LP as the units of analysis which are represented by fluctuations of associative dominants at the macrostructure and microlevels of the AVN; the empirical findings collected in the AVN may be regarded as initial data encouraging investigators to build hypotheses about the psychodynamic processes reflecting variability in socio-communicative environment. The range of fluctuations of the associative dominants at the turn of the century is shown as the statistic dimensions of the RLP in the network from the newest Russian regional associative database СИБАС1 [2008-2013] and СИБАС2 [2014-2020] in comparison with the Russian associative thesaurus (RAS) previously obtained by Russian psycholinguists, with Yu.N. Karaulovs active participation, in the years of perestroika [1988-1997].
A Study of Grammatical Case Forms and their Directionality in Fulfulde: The Transformational Generative Approach
Authors: Bello Idris Muhammad
Published: June 2021

Case Theory interacts with Government Theory in its operation and so, cases are assigned to the complements of governors. Case assigners are the governors of their dependent clauses while the case receivers are the governed NPs. So, the purpose of the study is to survey case assignment in Fulfulde generally by identifying and analysing the elements of Fulfulde structures and their relationship in terms of structural case. Unstructured observation was the method used for eliciting data for this study. Adequate and natural data were recorded and analysed sentence by sentence, the way they were uttered by the native speakers. The Theoretical Framework adopted for data analysis by this study is Principle and Parameters Theory. The study discovered that in Government, apart from (V)erbs, (P)repositions and tensed INFL, (N)ouns, (A)djectives and Focus Markers FMs can also govern and assign case to their complements in Fulfulde. The study has proved that in Fulfulde, cases can be assigned either to the left or to the right, depending on the relation.
Discussion on the Self in "Milindapañha" on Chariot: New Translation and Comments
Authors: Titlin Lev I.
Published: June 2021

Introduction A good example of emergentism - interpreted by M. Siderits [1] as - Buddhist reductionism) is an excerpt from the dialogue between King Milinda[4] and the monk Nāgasena[5] about the self, which is part of the text close to the Abhidhamma tradition entitled "Milindapaha" (or "Questions of King Milinda"). The text was published by V. Trenckner in 1880 in [2] and translated into English by T.W. Rhys Davids [3] in the series "Sacred Books of the East". Furthermore, there is an English translation by I. B. Horner [4] and Bhikkhu Pesala [5] and into Russian by A.V. Paribok [6]. There are also German [7] and French translations [8; 9]. Yet the classical translation by Rhys Davids is currently largely obsolete. Paribok's translation into Russian is not convenient for practical use as it would need to be further translated into English, and this double translation, which is not very good from the point of view of the philological approach to the text. We have therefore decided to make our own, new translation of the passage from "Milindapaha", in which the dialogue about the self is being held.

Authors: Ermakova Elena P.
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of VEB.RF's Methodological Recommendations for Green Finance published on July 13, 2020, named by many Russian experts as the National Green Finance Standard of Russia. This document was in-tended to define the criteria for green projects and financial instruments for enterprises and banks and, ultimately, describe the architecture of the national sys-tem of such financing. A similar document - Taxonomy Regulation - was adopted in the European Union on June 18, 2020. In this regard, a comparative analysis of the above issues is of particular importance. The purpose of the article is to form the idea of the national standard of green finance in Russia based on the analysis of regulations and scientific sources. The applied methods are empirical methods of comparison, description, interpretation, and theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic. The following private scientific methods were used: legal-dogmatic and the method of interpretation of legal norms. The study showed that the main financial regulator in Russia is the Central Bank, and it is the regulatory documents of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation that should create a national standard for green financing. Without the approval of the Central Bank, VEB.RFs guidelines are turning into just another methodology of the rating agency.
Critical evaluation of English and Saudi insurance law: A case for reform
Authors: Albalawi Khalaf M.
Published: June 2021

The global significance of English law continues, particularly in Saudi as it is the most frequently chosen insurance policy law. Both jurisdictions provide consumer protections in insurance markets including the Consumer Insurance (Disclosure and) Act and the 2015 Insurance Act and the Insurance Consumer Protection Principles 2014 in Saudi Arabia. This study aims to analyse the current reform impact on the interpretation of these doctrines between the UK and Saudi jurisdictions. In the last few years British insurance law has been significantly reviewed and modified and the most recent amendments, as per the Insurance Act 2015, are of the greatest significance and will be given due consideration within this paper. However, both the rationale for the reforms and the reform process will be reviewed as well as the UK perspective of the increasing rivalries between countries on account of legal business.
A Constituição de 1988 e a reforma política no Brasil: Lições de quatro momentos de votação
Authors: Nogueira Andrade Eric
Published: June 2021

Eleições são o alicerce de toda democracia representativa. Curiosamente, grande parte dos políticos brasileiros demonstram grande insatisfação com as regras eleitorais vigentes no país desde a redemocratização em 1988 e propõem recorrentemente um conjunto de propostas de alterações. É sabido que o sistema eleitoral de uma democracia não se altera com facilidade. Uma combinação de elementos precisa estar presente. No caso brasileiro as propostas de modificar o sistema eleitoral foram em quatro momentos sistematicamente rejeitadas, ainda que muitas outras mudanças na legislação eleitoral tenham sido aprovadas ao longo das sucessivas legislaturas. Para a compreensão desse processo, este trabalho focou parte do seu esforço inicial em apresentar duas possíveis abordagens teóricas que enxergam reformas a partir dos seus efeitos interpartidário e intrapartidário. Também foram objeto de análise quatro comissões especiais de reforma política que constituem a base dos debates sobre a reforma eleitoral na Câmara dos Deputados. Essas comissões propuseram e aprovaram importantes alterações na legislação eleitoral do Brasil. O exame comparativo dessas comissões pode lançar luz sobre parte dos questionamentos acerca das inúmeras alterações ocorridas. Por fim, examino quatro momentos em que uma alternativa ao sistema eleitoral foi posta em votação. Os resultados indicam que o longo processo de reforma no Brasil pós-1988 teve como grande objetivo a redistribuição da correlação de forças partidária, restringindo o acesso de pequenos partidos ao parlamento, e limitando, ainda que levemente, a personalização do sistema eleitoral, afetando diretamente a proporcionalidade dos resultados eleitorais das eleições de 2018. Também foi possível demonstrar que o sistema eleitoral não se alterou devido à clara falta de acordo entre os grandes partidos. A cada proposta votada, os maiores partidos se revezaram na liderança das coalizões que as vetaram. O artigo combina teoria, analise cronológica e comparação para alcançar os seus objetivos.

(NOVO) ENSINO MÉDIO E MOVIMENTOS DE CONTRACONDUTA NA ESCOLA
Authors: Weinheimer Gicele , Wanderer Fernanda
Published: June 2021

O artigo apresenta resultados de uma investigação realizada com o propósito de examinar possíveis ações de contraconduta vinculadas aos movimentos neoliberais que se fazem presentes em uma escola pública, mobilizadas pela emergência do Programa Novo Ensino Médio (PNEM) e por atividades pedagógicas. O material analisado é composto por questionários e registros de um Diário de Campo. As bases teóricas encontram-se no pensamento de Michel Foucault. O exame mostrou duas regularidades. A primeira refere-se às possibilidades de suspensão das finalidades utilitaristas da escola impostas pelo modelo empresarial. A segunda aborda tentativas de dissolução do narcisismo no ambiente escolar, pautados em contracondutas neoliberais. O estudo mostra que as marcas utilitaristas e narcisistas, engendradas pela racionalidade neoliberal, podem ser temporariamente suspensas, liberando a escola e os discentes para uma experimentação coletiva capaz de colocar a todos em situação de igualdade.
“PONTE PRA TUDO!”: TRANSPOSIÇÃO DIDÁTICA E O ENSINAR DA QUÍMICA

Published: June 2021

É recorrente o discurso de dificuldade no aprendizado com relação à disciplina de Química. Assim, o objetivo, neste ensaio, é discutir os aspectos principais da teoria da transposição didática de Yves Chevallard no ensinar da Química, visando com isso, aproximações que favoreçam entendimentos referentes à didática da ciência Química no âmbito escolar básico. Acredita-se que a abordagem sobre aspectos didáticos, tendo como “lente” a teoria da transposição didática de Yves Chevallard, apresenta-se como um aporte teórico que pode auxiliar os docentes da disciplina de Química frente às possibilidades e dificuldades encontradas no ambiente escolar contemporâneo.
SIMULAÇÕES, ASTRONOMIA, DIVULGAÇÃO DA CIÊNCIA E EDUCAÇÃO CIENTÍFICA

Este artigo faz uma análise das potencialidades existentes no uso didático de três softwares de simulação elaborados para o ensino de conceitos científicos: “Stellarium”, “Monte um átomo” do “PhET – Interactive Simulations” e “Exoplanet Transit Hunt”. Durante a investigação foram estruturadas e realizadas apresentações de divulgação científicas sobre temas de astronomia, astrofísica e cosmologia que se utilizaram estes softwares. São relatadas experiências envolvidas nas ações que ocorreram em 2018 e em 2019, em instituições de ensino do litoral norte paulista, a partir das parcerias desenvolvidas com o campus de Caraguatatuba do Instituto Federal de São Paulo (IFSP). A fundamentação teórica para as atividades realizadas foi feita a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a literatura científica existente sobre os temas em questão, em livros, artigos de revistas especializadas, trabalhos apresentados em congressos acadêmicos, dissertações de mestrado e teses de doutorado. As atividades realizadas evidenciaram que os três softwares utilizados colaboraram consideravelmente com a compreensão dos conceitos científicos envolvidos. As ações permitiram notar também um grande interesse por temas de astronomia pelos alunos da educação básica, o que é algo que deve ser considerado na elaboração de estratégias para a melhoria da educação científica nas escolas de ensino fundamental e médio.
Factors associated with successful extubation following the use of systemic dexamethasone in ventilator dependent extremely preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia
Authors: O'Connor Kristin , Hurst Cameron , Llewellyn Stacey , Davies Mark
Published: June 2021

Objectives The aim of our study was to identify, in mechanically
ventilated neonates <30 weeks GA with clinical evidence of
bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), factors likely to be predictive of a
first course of systemic dexamethasone leading to extubation within 14
days and remaining extubated for at least 7 days. Methods We studied a
retrospective cohort of neonates (23+0-29+6 weeks GA), with evidence of
BPD, prescribed their first course of systemic dexamethasone to aid in
extubation from mechanical ventilation. The data collected only
pertained to the first course of dexamethasone for any given neonate,
with the primary outcome of interest of successful extubation within 14
days (i.e., extubated within 14 days of starting dexamethasone and
remaining extubated for at least seven days). Binary logistic regression
was employed. Results A total of 287 neonates were included. Each
additional week of GA at birth led to a 1.53 increase in the odds of
successful extubation (95% CI 1.122-2.096, p<0.01). Higher
average fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) requirements in the preceding
24 hours resulted in a 0.94 decrease in the odds of successful
extubation (p<0.05) and higher mean airway pressure (MAP)
resulted in 0.76 decrease in odds of successful extubation
(p<0.01). Conclusions Mechanically ventilated neonates born at
<30 week GA, with evidence of BPD requiring dexamethasone to
facilitate extubation, had a lower likelihood of successful extubation
by day 14 if at the time of commencing steroids they were less mature at
birth, had higher MAPs and higher oxygen requirements.

Primary cardiac tumors are extremely rare.Most primary tumors are
benign,and malignant tumors comprise about 15%1.Angiosarcoma is the
most common type of primary cardiac malignant tumors.Compared with the
left atrium or ventricle,the tumor prefer to occur in the right atrium
or ventricle,especially the right atrium.In this case report,we present
the case of a 32-year-old female with cardiac angiosarcoma primary to
the right atrial appendage(RAA).
