Influence of the irradiation geometry on the severity of acute radiation damage
Authors: Golikov V. Yu. , Vodovatov A. V.
Published: June 2022

The aim of this study was to demonstrate how the severity of radiation damage in the case of bone marrow syndrome due to acute irradiation depends on the non-uniform irradiation of the body. We used the calculation method that involves the evaluation of organism mortality as a function of bone marrow cells colony survival vs dose for different radiation profiles. It was presumed that the probability of the death for the organism is the same for the same value of survival level of the bone marrow cells regardless of the dose distribution by mass of the organ. The dose of uniform irradiation that is equivalent to the dose for the L-th case of non-uniform irradiation is calculate based on the survival level of the total marrow cells. After that the probability of the death of the organism is estimated according to the dose response curve. Dose distribution in bone marrow of computational MIRD-5-type stylized model adult man for different geometries of exposure by point source of 137Cs was evaluated. Larger non-uniformity of the dose distribution in the bone marrow at the same dose in free air in the site of human location causes a greater probability of survival due to a greater proportion of bone marrow cells that have preserved the possibility of reproduction. The values of mean 50% lethal dose for cases of approximately uniform irradiation of the body surface (point source at a distance 10m) and sharply non-uniform irradiation (point source at a distance of 0.5 m) differ approximately by the factor of 1.7 – 2.5 depending on direction of irradiation. Additionally the values of conversion coefficients from the reading of an individual dosimeter to the value of an effective dose for various geometries of irradiation of emergency workers from the 137Cs point source were calculated. The average value of the conversion coefficient from personal dose to effective dose for the considered exposure situations is 0.7 Sv Cy-1 and the 90% confidence interval is 0.49 – 0.99 Sv Gy-1.

Published: June 2022

The review dwells upon the problematic issues, uncertainties and prospects of establishing causal relationship between diseases and radiation exposure. The review discusses the challenges, uncertainties and prospects of establishing causation between exposure to radiation and diseases. The criteria that could be used to assess the radiation-induced health damage are considered. The existing practice of recognizing certain categories of citizens of the Russian Federation as people affected by radiation exposure, which is based on the establishing causal relationship between disease, invalidity, death with radiation exposure by Interdepartmental expert councils, is analyzed. Experts of Interdepartmental expert councils in taking the decision rely on to the list of diseases that should be updated consistently based on the findings of radio-epidemiological studies. To make the decision-making process objective, advanced scientific studies focused on individualization of the radiation risk and search for the biomarkers of radiation-induced effects, both deterministic and stochastic ones, are discussed.

Published: June 2022

To clarify the effect of particle gradation of filling soil on the dewatering and consolidation performance of geotubes, the content of four-particle size classes (powder, fine, medium, and coarse) which are commonly used in engineering as the research object was taken. The dewatering rate, soil infiltration and solid-liquid mixing pressure in the bag with time when filling soil with different particles were studied, and the soil loss of the hanging bag was analyzed from the perspective of seepage soil gradation. The research results show that the dewatering process could be divided into the quick dewatering stage, silting stage, and stable stage according to the dewatering rate. According to the performance of soil conservation, it could be divided into the loss stage and reverse filtration stage. Further, based on the effects of powder content, non-uniformity coefficient, and curvature coefficient of soil on the dewatering rate of the hanging bag, a formula for calculating the dewatering rate of geotubes is summarized.
Schistosoma haematobium bilharziasis during overwintering in Adelie land: Health and operational risk in Antarctica
Authors:   Malaria Research Unit, Claude-Bernard Lyon-1 University, Villeurbanne, 69622, France, Buguet A.
Published: June 2022

While serving from December 1970 to January 1972 as a medical doctor of the 21st French Polar Expedition in Adelie Land, Antarctica, at Dumont d’Urville Station, the author diagnosed Schistosoma haematobiumurinary bilharziasis in a winterer who suffered from pain in the right iliac fossa, at the beginning of the overwintering. The patient had participated in a bush investigation in West Africa, but, despite his complaints, the illness had not been diagnosed prior to the Antarctic expedition. Microscopic examination revealed Schistosoma haematobium eggs in the urine centrifugation deposit. In the absence of anti-bilharziasis medication, the patient was treated symptomatically with urinary antiseptic or antibiotic, hemostatic and antihistamine medications to palliate the egg deposition in the bladder wall and the subsequent induction of inflammatory reactions. Nine months later, a US Navy plane landed on the continent in the vicinity of the French Station and delivered the specific parasiticidal niridazole tablets. The patient received three niridazole tablets per day during one week. He returned to Paris in March 1972. Exploratory medical tests did not reveal any bladder or urinary tract alteration. He never since complained of any related problem. Recommendations are provided to avoid personal and / or operational risks due to such tropical infectious diseases during Antarctic expeditions

Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is the most common purulent septic infection among patients treated in intensive care units (ICUs) at cardiac surgery hospitals. Risk factors that can cause HAP, in particular, contribution made by artificial ventilation (AV) have not been studied enough. Our objective was to examine an epidemiological role played by AV in HAP occurrence among children and adults treated in the intensive care unit at a cardiac surgery hospital. We examined health records of 5318 patients (503 children and 4815 adults) who had a cardiac surgery due to congenital heart diseases or acquired cardiovascular disorders over 1 year. HAP was identified according to the epidemiological standards for case definition. Besides, we took into account pre-nosologic HAP cases, that is, patients already having certain pathological symptoms typical for purulent septic infections, but still, even combined, these symptoms were not enough to diagnose a typical HAP case in accordance with the standard case definition. Data were statistically analyzed by calculating the χ2 goodness-of-fit test. We established that most HAP cases occurred among patients of a cardiac surgery hospital who were being treated in the intensive care unit after a surgery. We proved AV to be the leading risk factor causing HAP. Higher incidence rates of HAP were detected among children in comparison with adults. We showed that Klebsiella pneumoniaе was the primary infectious agent that caused HAP. Particularly, background respiratory diseases and diseases of the central nervous system were proven to be endogenous risk factors of developing HAP among patients treated in the ICU at a cardiac surgery hospital.

Published: June 2022

Crohn's Disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disorder which can lead to complications like fistulas, strictures and abscesses. It is difficult to differentiate between chronic fibrotic and acute inflammatory processes with current non-invasive and invasive methods. FDG-PET/CT might help to identify active inflammatory processes and morphological information via one examination. It is a case report of a 22 year old woman diagnosed with CD who experienced an abscess of the left psoas muscle after few years which had to be drained. In 2011, she again complained about left side abdominal pain. This case underlines the usefulness of a combined PET/CT study for identifying active inflammatory processes common on patients suffering from Crohn’s disease. Generally it would be optimal to combine the PET and a diagnostic quality CT-E into a single session.

Published: June 2022

Escherichia coli are normal flora in the digestive tract of animals and humans but can be opportunistic under certain conditions. Apart from normal flora, there are also pathogenic strains of the E. coli bacteria that can cause disease in the hospes. The disease that can be caused by E. coli bacteria is colibacillosis which often occurs in poultry. One of the clinical symptoms that appear in chickens suffering from colibasillosis is diarrhea which can arise due to enteritis. This study aims to identify the incidence of colibacillosis and antibiotic resistance of E. coli bacteria in Free-range Chicken. Clinical symptoms showed that the animal looked weak, had diarrhea, and had feces around the cloaca. The necropsy results showed the presence of hemorrhage in the duodenum and caecum. Samples of organ swabs that experienced hemorrhage were then tested for isolation and identification of E.coli bacteria and antibiotic resistance using the Kirby-Bauer method for five types of antibiotics, penicillin, bacitracin, gentamicin, cefadroxil, and ciprofloxacin. The test results showed that the Free-range Chicken had colibacillosis. The E. coli bacteria that cause colibacillosis were resistant to penicillin and bacitracin antibiotics, intermediates to cefadroxil, and sensitive to ciprofloxacin and gentamicin.

The EU Court's Use of International Law in the Engagement with Disputed Territories: A Consistent Approach?
Authors: Elleswijk Sabine
Published: June 2022

The EU could currently be described as one of the largest international legal entities with, previously unprecedented, legal competences originating from public international law (PIL). Both the European and international legal landscapes have changed and evolved in terms of nature, as well as their national and international competences in relation to each other. The relationship between these two legal systems has therefore also received increasing attention in recent years, most likely due to their unique interaction. In terms of the EU’s global influence, it undoubtedly played a role in reshaping the idea of international organizations, but were they influential towards each other in other ways? The aim of the present article is to assess to what extent and how the Court of Justice of the European Union’s (CJEU) takes international law into account when ruling on questions regarding international agreements with third countries concerning disputed territories.

In 61 type 2 diabetic patients it was defined single nucleotide polymorphism +276 G > T (rs1501299 ) in adiponectin gene and atherogenic potential dynamics (hormonal and metabolic parameters of insulin resistance, a pro-inflammatory state, oxidative status, adipokines) after daily administration for 12 weeks of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omacor) with the constant pattern of antidiabetic therapy. After the treatment, in all the surveyed it was revealed reduction of insulin resistance, while a significant increase in the levels of total adiponectin, total erythrocyte glutathione, as well as reduced levels of circulating insulin and osteoprotegerin were observed only in carriers of GG-genotype. These results suggest that genetic variations in the adiponectin gene can affect the therapeutic efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids, namely, to reduce the pattern of cardiovascular risk factors in type 2 diabetic patients in a Ukrainian population.
THE HORMONAL REGULATION OF ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF BLOOD IN ADOLESCENTS WITH NEUROENDOCRINE OBESITY
Authors: Kulieshova D. K.
Published: June 2022

The study showed that insulin levels of melatonin and total antioxidant capacity of blood in adolescents with neuroendocrine obesity complicated by insulin resistance or without it, have their own characteristics at different stages of puberty. In adolescents with obesity and insulin resistance in early adolescence increased levels of insulin and melatonin, but their antioxidant activity is not compromised. Late puberty in adolescents with obesity, insulin resistance is not complicated, increases the secretion of melatonin, which inhibits the effects of oxidative stress on the body. Hyperinsulinemia in adolescents late puberty to obesity and insulin resistance is compensatory in nature on the part of the endocrine system. However, they have not increased the secretion of melatonin, and thus reduced the antioxidant activity of the blood, which creates conditions for the deterioration of the disease.

In this study, we investigated VNTR polymorphisms in intron 2 of the IL1RN gene (rs2234663) and intron 3 of the IL4 gene (rs8179190) related to the development of caries in school children (N = 196) with mixed bite dentition from Krasnodarskii Krai. The genotypes A1/A1 and L/L (L-“long” alleles) (rs2234663) provided resistance to the most intensive form of dental caries. The groups of children with DFC (decompensated form of caries) were significantly different from the pooled group SFC (subcompensated form of caries) and CFC (compensated form of caries) (and healthy children) for two genotypes: A1/A1 (OR = 0.37, p = 0.015, 95% CI: 0.17-0.84) and L/L (OR = 0.38. p = 0.020, 95% CI: 0.17-0.88). In locus rs8179190 (IL4), a rare allele with a single repeat (70 bp)-P3 (113 bp) was observed. For VNTR polymorphisms of rs8179190, association with the most intensive form of caries was found only for two-locus genotypes with rs2234663. The results suggested that the studied cytokine markers and the ratio of the pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory cytokines might be involved in the development of the most intensive form of caries.

Published: June 2022

Background

Several studies have shown that individuals with intellectual disabilities (IDs) have low levels of physical activity (PA), and intervention studies on PA suggest inconsistent evidence. The use of technology as a means of motivation for PA has yet to be extensively explored and needs to be further investigated.

Objective

We aim to assess the feasibility and acceptability of procedures for an intervention arm in a future trial on mobile health (mHealth) to support PA for individuals with IDs. In addition, we aim to examine how the use of technology can influence motivation for PA among participants, their caregivers, and staff members.

Methods

A mixed methods pilot study of an intervention arm will be carried out in a planned randomized controlled trial (RCT). Ten participants with ID and their caregivers or a staff member will be included. Information will always be provided by a caregiver or a staff member, or participants with ID if possible. Assessments will be carried out at baseline, follow-up after 4 weeks, and 12 weeks, and include questionnaires on PA, social support, self-efficacy, and challenging behavior. PA will be measured with 2 different activity trackers (Fitbit and Axivity) for 1 week at all assessments. Feasibility will be assessed as recruitment and adherence rate, missing data, usability of the motivational mHealth tool, and estimates of effectiveness. Acceptability of study procedures, activity measures, and motivation for participation in PA will be additionally assessed with qualitative methods at the end of the intervention.

Results

Enrollment commenced in May 2021. Data collection was completed in March 2022.

Conclusions

This pilot study will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of study procedures of the intervention arm of a planned RCT to address feasibility issues, improve study procedures, and estimate effectiveness of the study measures. How the use of technology can influence motivation for PA will also be examined, which can help guide and improve future PA interventions involving the use of technology.

Introduction: The monitoring of women and guidance on the benefits of breast milk are of paramount importance for the mother to choose to breastfeed. It is necessary that the approach is effective and gradual so that she feels pleasure and well-being when practicing the act of breastfeeding. This activity is vulnerable to interference from multiple factors that encompass maternal principles, especially with regard to the conduct of each woman in these circumstances. Maternal insecurity was one of the factors that puerperal women reported presenting and influencing early weaning, since this insecurity may be related to the production of breast milk. Therefore, the present research aimed to describe which emotional aspects were reported by women who breastfed during the pandemic period in two municipalities in the metropolitan region of Belém. Methodology: Quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study with the application of an online questionnaire via Google forms. Conclusion: The research results reflect on the importance of investigating factors related to the emotional aspect of women during pregnancy and postpartum periods, in order to prevent and treat these changes or disorders, as they influence maternal health and consequently in the practice of breastfeeding. However, it is important that new research be developed to help health professionals in encouraging this practice that saves so many lives.

In children aged over six months to two years, it was observed that breastfeeding did not occur continuously in children from groups with higher family income, and the ingestion of ultra-processed foods by children with lower incomes was observed. Conclusion: The data demonstrate dietary inadequacy, habits that are configured for the development of chronic non-communicable diseases throughout life. In addition, there is a low consumption of fresh and minimally processed foods, as well as an inadequate introduction of ultra-processed foods, especially in children belonging to families with lower incomes.

Coronaviruses are large, often spherical, enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses, ranging in size from 80-220 nm. Their genomes and protein structures are highly conserved. Three coronaviruses have emerged over the last 20 years as serious human pathogens: SARS-CoV was identified as the causative agent in an outbreak in 2002-2003, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) CoV emerged in 2012 and the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 emerged in 2019-2020. SARS-CoV-2 is the virus responsible for the infectious disease termed COVID-19 (WHO Technical Guidance 2020).
Unique ID Based Voting System

Abstract: Elections are an extremely important part of the growth process in every country. Elections provide people with the opportunity to choose the leader they feel best represents their values, which in turn contributes to the growth of individuals. However, those who aspire to be leaders but are overly ambitious sometimes make poor decisions that hinder their progress. The use of manual elections has been shown to increase the likelihood of electoral fraud. Therefore, in order to avoid this, an electronic voting mechanism has been implemented. Electronic voting, more commonly referred to as "E-voting," has been implemented with a variety of various technologies over the years. For the voting system in our project, we made use of a one-ofa-kind ID. Arduino is being utilized right here in this project of ours. Only voters who have already been verified can cast their ballots using our electronic voting system. In addition to that, our system features a GSM Module as well as a servo motor. In addition to that, it has three buttons that are push able. The applicants will be required to send a text message (SMS) to the GSM module, and the GSM module will then send an OTP to the mobile phone that you registered with it. If the one-time password (OTP) is entered correctly, the candidate will be given the opportunity to vote. Voting may then take place in a safe environment.
GAN Based State-of-Art Image Colorization
Authors: Kavya Gundla
Published: June 2022

Abstract: This project helps you to colorize the black and white pictures and it’s done by using GANs(Generative Adversarial Networks) .GANs generally consists of a generator and a discriminator or critic which are competitive with each other. Force of GAN brings tones-generator applies tones to the perceived objects trained on, and discriminator attempts to scrutinize the color choice. They can reduce and replace the loss function with the help of the network and solves the problem of realistic colorization .It is further improvised and utilizes another sort of GAN training technique called NoGAN which is created to solve fundamental issues that seemed while trained using normal Generative Adversarial Networks composed of discriminator and a generator. The dataset used is ImageNet and the model depends on fast.ai library and also the series of evolution of improving GANs utilisation is explained.
Stabilization of Red Clay Soil using Rice Straw
Authors: Maheswari Anusuri Uma
Published: June 2022

Abstract: Infrastructure projects such as highways, railways, water reservoirs etc, requires earth materials in very large quantities. The foundation should have sufficient strength to support any land based structure. The soil surrounding the foundation plays a very important role. The strength of soil should be maintained according to the loading conditions. One of the most important aspect for construction purpose is to improve the soil strength i.e; stabilizing soil. Here, in this paper, soil stabilization is done by mixing of soil with the chemical treated rice straws fibers. The main motive of this analysis is to find out the utilization of waste rice straw fiber materials in foundation construction without open burning of waste so we can reduce the pollution which create by the open burning of rice straw in the fields.

Leading the Way: How the Canadian Government can Continue to Foster the Development of a Robust and Ethical Artificial Intelligence Industry
Authors: Crump Ian
Published: June 2022

The emerging artificial intelligence (AI) industry presents an enormous economic opportunity for Canada. However, many ethical questions remain unresolved about the application of these technologies and their social impacts. Despite these challenges, AI will continue to be developed and Canada cannot risk missing out on the benefits of the fourth industrial revolution. This article argues that Canada must continue to build upon its strong policies for the sector to foster the development of ethical domestic AI enterprises and offers several recommendations for policymakers.
A Proactive Approach to End Homelessness
Authors: Mishaxhiu Rea
Published: June 2022

This study examines the evolution of the homeless serving system of care (HSSC) in Calgary, Alberta, and explores related successes, challenges, and lessons learned from a governance lens. The study relies on an inductive approach and qualitative methods, including a literature review, document reviews, and nine key informant interviews. Findings suggest that Calgary’s HSSC is a key governance structure for policy alignment and coordination and that it has facilitated system changes that promote more integration between homelessness, housing, health, and justice systems. The significance of this research is to document any notable components and best practices in Calgary’s HSSC that are relevant to stakeholders (e.g., community entities, government funders, policymakers, and academic researchers) looking to improve their systems.
The transformational paradigm of a phraseological unit in Russian speech within the space of predictability and unpredictability
Authors: Arkhangelskaya Alla M.
Published: June 2022

The paper aims at presenting the research potential of the transformational paradigm of the phraseological unit as a set of all detected speech realisations of its updated invariant, formed not by the principle of “predicting” the possible transformations, but of “collecting” their actual variants in speech. The starting points in this case are both the intralingual multi-sided (according to R. Sternemann) model of comparing the actual speech updates of the phraseological unit with its invariant as tertium comparationis and the broad understanding of the object of phraseology. The basic methods are methods of total sampling and textual identification of the phraseological transform, component-variant analysis, methods of phraseological modelling, applicative method, methods of historical-etymological and linguocultural analysis. The material of the research contains transformation paradigms of different types of phraseological units collected and systematized by the author (wolf in sheep’s clothing, return of the prodigal son, step on the same rake, man in a skirt, Pandora’s box, he who has a tongue can find his way), which were formed on the material of Russian fiction and non-fiction texts, Russian and Russian-language printed and electronic media, including texts of Internet forums and blogs of the early 21st century as a space of network (often anonymous) media communication. The systematization of phraseotransforms in Russian speech and structuring the transformational paradigm, taking into account the internal and external levels in the form of a “matrix,” opens up opportunities for searching for the systemic and the asystemic, the predictable and the unpredictable, for generalising the linguistic and non-linguistic factors stimulating the phraseoransformation and phraseoformation of the phraseological invariant as well as for determining the ratio of creative capacities of the language system and the creativity of the authors of phraseological transforms. The proposed model of analysis can be used in the context of intralingual and inter-lingual comparisons.

This study focuses on the local wisdom tradition of the community in farming (rice plants). The purpose of this paper is to find out more about the history, implementation processions, and community responses. The type of research used is a qualitative approach with observation, interview and documentation techniques. Data were analyzed through descriptive qualitative approaches, and natural setting. The results showed that the ureh tradition is a community habit that they practice in the context of farming, and its implementation is individual. Ureh is a tradition of protecting plants from pests in the form of a mystical fence. The ureh tradition is practiced from the nursery to harvesting. There are two forms of implementation: (1); zimat with conditional objects, (2); its zimat only. The ureh tradition in the form of a mystical fence is rarely practiced by the community, and is considered irrelevant, except only in rural communities, but for people close to urban areas they use “modern” ureh which is considered more effective and efficient.
