Tremendous increase of fungal infections in hospitalized or immune compromised patients has been reported from the last two decades. These infections are commonly treated using econazole and miconazole that have shorter half-life and produce severe side effects. All such issues can be addressed using targeted drug delivery. We developed SNLs based formulation for the treatment of mycosis. The high pressure homogenization method was employed for formulation followed by characterization, assay for antifungal activity, in vitro drug release and ex vivo permeation. The particle size of Econazole-Betamethasone-loaded SLNs, Econazole-loaded SLNs, Betamethasone-loaded SLNs and Blank SLNs were 377.4±23 nm, 298.7±9 nm, 177.7±15 nm and 113.4±6 nm respectively. The SEM images displayed that droplets are uniform and spherical in shape which ranged from 113.4±6 to 377.4±23 nm. In DSC, the SLNs formulation showed endothermic peak at 185.2 °C±0.9. Drug content of Econazole loaded SLNs was 82±0.1 and its entrapment efficiency was approximately 90.4±0.2. Betamethasone SLNs displayed highest drug content which was 83.5±0.4 while encapsulation efficiency of same formulation was 94.2±0.4. The Econazole and Betamethasone combined SLNs exhibited drug content of 80±0.3 while its encapsulation efficiency was 93.1±0.5. E-SLNs have significantly high drug release ( p < 0.05) as compared to other formulation B-SLNs and EB-SLNs.The Econazole loaded formulations displayed antifungal activity with no synergistic or antagonistic effect with each other. Drug permeation from Econazole SLNs, Betamethasone SLNs and combined Econazole and Betamethasone SLNs was 45%, 40% and 38% respectively. Overall, SLN’s are an effective carrier for topical delivery of antifungals agents and that may be helpful in bypassing the serious side effects associated with oral delivery.

Published: December 2021

Knowing stability constants for the complexes HgII with extracting ligands is very important from environmental and therapeutic standpoints. Since the selectivity of ligands can be stated by the stability constants of cation–ligand complexes, quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) investigations on binding constant of HgII complexes were done. Experimental data of the stability constants in ML2 complexation of HgII and synthesized triazene ligands were used to construct and develop QSPR models. Support vector machine (SVM) and multiple linear regression (MLR) have been employed to create the QSPR models. The final model showed squared correlation coefficient of 0.917 and the standard error of calibration (SEC) value of 0.141 log K units. The proposed model presented accurate prediction with the Leave-One-Out cross validation ([Formula: see text] = 0.756) and validated using Y-randomization and external test set. Statistical results demonstrated that the proposed models had suitable goodness of fit, predictive ability, and robustness. The results revealed the importance of charge effects and topological properties of ligand in HgII - triazene complexation.

Published: December 2021

In the present work, the extract of a paper-flower species called Bougainvillea spectabilis was used to green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs). The synthesized ZnO NPs was confirmed by XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, and FTIR techniques. Then, the ability of ZnO NPs to remove 2,4-dinitrophenol from aqueous solutions was investigated using photocatalytic and sonocatalytic processes. All experiments were carried out in a batch system and the effects of pH, NPs dosage, concentration, and contact time were evaluated. The findings of this study showed that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model could well describe the removal of 2,4-dinitrophenol by ZnO NPs. Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and BE-T isotherm models were also assessed in a dark condition. The Freundlich isotherm model was able to provide the best fit with the experimental data. Examination of the results showed that the degradation of 2,4-dinitrophenol at the presence of ultraviolet (UV) and ultrasonic (US) waves was able to increase the removal efficiency to about twice as much as removal by adsorption alone. Also, The obtained results showed that the maximum removal of 2,4-dinitrophenol under photocatalytic and sonocatalytic conditions occurred at the presence of 25 mg of NPs, solution pH of 4, and 2,4-dinitrophenol concentration of 20 ppm. The best rates of photocatalytic and sonocatalytic degradation under the optimal conditions were 84.42% and 77.13% during 60 min, respectively. Thermodynamic studies indicated that the degradation of 2,4-dinitrophenol by ZnO NPs is a spontaneous and endothermic process in the direction of increasing entropy. The zinc oxide NPs have better performance in the removal of 2,4-dinitrophenol at the presence of UV and US waves.

Published: December 2021

A model of OC20 fullerene-oxide (FO) was investigated in this work for adsorbing the ammonia (NH3) substance by the hypothesis of formations of bimolecular complexes of the two substances. To affirm such hypothesis, the models of singular NH3 and FO were optimized to reach the minimized energy structures and all possibilities of their interactions configurations were examined. As a consequence, three NH3@FO bimolecular complex models were obtained for reaching the point of complex formations. Details of interactions indicated both direct and indirect contributions of the oxidized region of FO to interactions with both H and N atomic sites of NH3. In this regard, CPLX3 with two types of H. . . O and N. . . C interactions was seen to be at the highest strength of adsorption and complex formation in comparison with CPLX1 and CPLX2 models including only one interaction of each of H. . . O and N. . . C type, respectively. Moreover, the obtained electronic molecular orbital features revealed the sensor function of FO material versus the NH3 substance. As a consequence, the hypothesis of NH3@FO complexes formation was affirmed with two proposed functions of removal and detection for the investigated FO material. All results of this work were obtained by details through performing density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
Image compression and encryption based on integer wavelet transform and hybrid hyperchaotic system
Authors: Srinivas Rajamandrapu , Mayur N.
Published: December 2021

Compression and encryption of images are emerging as recent topics in the area of research to improve the performance of data security. A joint lossless image compression and encryption algorithm based on Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT) and the Hybrid Hyperchaotic system is proposed to enhance the security of data transmission. Initially, IWT is used to compress the digital images and then the encryption is accomplished using the Hybrid Hyperchaotic system. A Hybrid Hyperchaotic system; Fractional Order Hyperchaotic Cellular Neural Network (FOHCNN) and Fractional Order Four-Dimensional Modified Chua’s Circuit (FOFDMCC) is used to generate the pseudorandom sequences. The pixel substitution and scrambling are realized simultaneously using Global Bit Scrambling (GBS) that improves the cipher unpredictability and efficiency. In this study, Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) sequence is adopted instead of a binary operation, which provides high resistance to the cipher image against crop attack and salt-and-pepper noise. It was observed from the simulation outcome that the proposed Hybrid Hyperchaotic system with IWT demonstrated more effective performance in image compression and encryption compared with the existing models in terms of parameters such as unified averaged changed intensity, a number of changing pixels rate, and correlation coefficient.
A saliency model-oriented convolution neural network for cloud detection in remote sensing images
Authors: Zhang Jun , Liu Junjun
Published: December 2021

Remote sensing is an indispensable technical way for monitoring earth resources and environmental changes. However, optical remote sensing images often contain a large number of cloud, especially in tropical rain forest areas, make it difficult to obtain completely cloud-free remote sensing images. Therefore, accurate cloud detection is of great research value for optical remote sensing applications. In this paper, we propose a saliency model-oriented convolution neural network for cloud detection in remote sensing images. Firstly, we adopt Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KCPA) to unsupervised pre-training the network. Secondly, small labeled samples are used to fine-tune the network structure. And, remote sensing images are performed with super-pixel approach before cloud detection to eliminate the irrelevant backgrounds and non-clouds object. Thirdly, the image blocks are input into the trained convolutional neural network (CNN) for cloud detection. Meanwhile, the segmented image will be recovered. Fourth, we fuse the detected result with the saliency map of raw image to further improve the accuracy of detection result. Experiments show that the proposed method can accurately detect cloud. Compared to other state-of-the-art cloud detection method, the new method has better robustness.

Authors: Singha Tanmay , Pham Duc-Son , Krishna Aneesh
Published: December 2021

Urban street scene analysis is an important problem in computer vision with many off-line models achieving outstanding semantic segmentation results. However, it is an ongoing challenge for the research community to develop and optimize the deep neural architecture with real-time low computing requirements whilst maintaining good performance. Balancing between model complexity and performance has been a major hurdle with many models dropping too much accuracy for a slight reduction in model size and unable to handle high-resolution input images. The study aims to address this issue with a novel model, named M2FANet, that provides a much better balance between model’s efficiency and accuracy for scene segmentation than other alternatives. The proposed optimised backbone helps to increase model’s efficiency whereas, suggested Multi-level Multi-path (M2) feature aggregation approach enhances model’s performance in the real-time environment. By exploiting multi-feature scaling technique, M2FANet produces state-of-the-art results in resource-constrained situations by handling full input resolution. On the Cityscapes benchmark data set, the proposed model produces 68.5% and 68.3% class accuracy on validation and test sets respectively, whilst having only 1.3 million parameters. Compared with all real-time models of less than 5 million parameters, the proposed model is the most competitive in both performance and real-time capability.
Adaptive replication strategy based on popular content in cloud computing
Authors: Miloudi Imad Eddine , Yagoubi Belabbas , Bellounar Fatima Zohra , Chachou Taieb
Published: December 2021

The cloud is an infrastructure that provides decentralized on-demand services. It allows consumers to pay only for the services they use. The consumer is the important entity in the cloud. The violation of the SLA contract between the consumer and the provider often leads to consequences because the service provider has to pay penalties. Data replication is emerging as an ideal solution to meet the new challenges of the cloud. This paper proposes a new replication strategy based on the popularity of data. This strategy adaptively selects the files to be replicated to improve the overall availability of data in the system, minimize query response time, and achieve the required quality of service. In addition, it dynamically determines the number of replicas to add and the best locations to store them. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: Dietary diversity score (DDS) is recognized as an essential factor of a high-quality diet. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between DDS and cardiometabolic risk factors in hypertensive patients. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 972 hypertensive patients (322 males and 650 females) aged 35–70y participated were recruited. Dietary intake was evaluated using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and DDS was calculated. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the IDF/AHA criteria. The anthropometric parameters, fasting blood sugar, lipid profile, and liver enzymes were measured. RESULTS: Male subjects who assigned to the top DDS tertile had 51% lower risk of having low serum HDL-C (OR: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.24–0.96) in the crude model. A similar association was observed for men in the second tertile of DDS after adjusting for covariates (OR: 0.47; 95% CI: 0.23–0.97). A significant inverse association was found between vegetable diversity score and odds of hyperglycemia in the male group in the adjusted model (OR: 0.44; 95% CI: 0.22–0.91). The vegetable diversity score was inversely associated with 67% decreased metabolic syndrome risk in the adjusted model (OR: 0.33; 95% CI: 0.15–0.70). CONCLUSION: These findings clarify the possible preventive role of higher DDS against metabolic syndrome.

PURPOSE: The open-label phase 3 “Treatment with IncobotulinumtoxinA in Movement Open-Label” (TIMO) study investigated longer-term safety and efficacy of incobotulinumtoxin A in children/adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS: Patients on standard treatment, with unilateral or bilateral lower limb (LL) or combined upper limb (UL)/LL spasticity received four incobotulinumtoxinA injection cycles (16 or 20 Units/kg bodyweight total [maximum 400 or 500 Units] per cycle depending on ambulatory status/clinical pattern treated), each followed by 12–16 weeks’ observation. Treatment for pes equinus was mandatory; flexed knee or adducted thigh were options for unilateral treatment and/or ULs for unilateral/bilateral treatment. The primary endpoint was safety; changes in Ashworth Scale and Gross Motor Function Measure-66 scores, and Global Impression of Change Scale scores at week 4 of each injection cycle were also evaluated. RESULTS: IncobotulinumtoxinA (≤500 Units for ≤98 weeks) was safe, well-tolerated, and effective across all endpoints for multipattern treatment of LL and combined LL/UL spasticity in ambulant/nonambulant children/adolescents with CP. Treatment effects increased with each injection cycle. No new/unexpected safety concerns were identified. CONCLUSION: IncobotulinumtoxinA showed a good safety and tolerability profile, with efficacy over multiple clinical presentations. As an adjunct treatment, it offers an effective, individualized treatment option for pediatric CP-related spasticity.

Authors: Sinha Jitendra Kumar
Published: December 2021

The effects of unemployment and inflation on output growth based on time series data of Bihar (India) over the period 1990–2019 has been examined in this paper. The physical capital expansion in terms of infrastructure development along with skill development to provide employment opportunities to the youth appears to be the major determinant of boosting the potential productivity of physical and human capital and affecting positively the economic growth. The results indicated that there are significant and certain benefits from the increased supply and improvement in the quality of physical capital which increases labor productivity as well as investment in human capital. Thus, it is recommended that Bihar makes large-scale investments in infrastructure and skill development and carry-on renewal at opportune moments to keep steady the positive trend of economic growth over the years. The investments may be in terms of mechanized technologies, supporting infrastructure and appropriating the knowledge relating to their management; and adopting new technologies and practices involving better innovation in agriculture, forestry, manufacturing, and relevant skill development to sustain the growth of value-added.
Trust-based federated learning for network anomaly detection
Authors: Chen Naiyue , Jin Yi , Li Yinglong , Cai Luxin
Published: December 2021

With the rapid development of social networks and the massive popularity of intelligent mobile terminals, network anomaly detection is becoming increasingly important. In daily work and life, edge nodes store a large number of network local connection data and audit data, which can be used to analyze network abnormal behavior. With the increasingly close network communication, the amount of network connection and other related data collected by each network terminal is increasing. Machine learning has become a classification method to analyze the features of big data in the network. Face to the problems of excessive data and long response time for network anomaly detection, we propose a trust-based Federated learning anomaly detection algorithm. We use the edge nodes to train the local data model, and upload the machine learning parameters to the central node. Meanwhile, according to the performance of edge nodes training, we set different weights to match the processing capacity of each terminal which will obtain faster convergence speed and better attack classification accuracy. The user’s private information will only be processed locally and will not be uploaded to the central server, which can reduce the risk of information disclosure. Finally, we compare the basic federated learning model and TFCNN algorithm on KDD Cup 99 dataset and MNIST dataset. The experimental results show that the TFCNN algorithm can improve accuracy and communication efficiency.

«Huguenots» by J. Meyerbeer in the context of spiritual-Christian quests of the era of romanticism
Authors: Yun Shang
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to identify the poetical and intonational features of J. Meyerbeer’s «Huguenots» in the context of the spiritual quest of romanticism, the evolution of French musical theater in the first half of the 19th century and its mystery component. The methodology of the work is the intonation concept of music from the perspective of intonation-stylistic analysis inherited from B. Asafiev and his followers. The analytical-musicological, genre-style, interdisciplinary, historical and cultural approaches are also essential for this work, revealing the spiritual and moral specifics of the poetics of the French «grand opera» and its mystery primary sources using the example of J. Meyerbeer's «Huguenots». The scientific novelty of the work is determined by its analytical perspective, focused on the consideration of the «Huguenots» by J. Meyerbeer in the context of the spiritual-Christian quests of the romantic era. Conclusions. The poetics of J. Meyerbeer’s opera «Huguenots», which is one of the exemplary examples of «grand» French opera, was formed at the intersection, on the one hand, of creative discoveries in the field of French musical theater of the first half of the 19th century and its vocal and performing stage practice. On the other hand, the named work demonstrates a deep connection with the mysterious traditions of the French spiritual theater, dating back to the Middle Ages, to the spiritual, religious and stylistic attitudes of the musical theater of French classicism («lyric tragedy» by J. B. Lully) and at the same time consonant with the religious quests of romanticism and the moral and ethical positions of French historicism. The essential role of religious confrontation in the Huguenots, which determinesthe intonational and dramatic specificity of the work, right down to the quotations of the Lutheran chant, ultimately focuses on the «collegiality of the highest order», which overcomes confessional barriers, defining the spiritual and moral pathos of the French «grand opera» and its spiritual attitudes.

Authors: Vinar Olga
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to identify the features of speech characteristics in the context of the disclosure of the plot-content aspect of the performance of postmodern aesthetics. Methodology. A typological and systematic method is used to study the creative mechanisms of the actor's creation of the speech characteristic of the image in the context of the peculiarities of the aesthetics of postmodernism; cognitive method, thanks to which theoretical positions in the field of language psychology and speech therapy are extrapolated to the field of theatrical art; method oftheoretical generalization, etc. Scientific novelty. The influence of postmodernist theater tendencies on the process of the actor's voice work on the creation of the image – the development and implementation of speech features of the character; the peculiarities of the process of decoding the sign system of a modern production on the basis of the interpretation of the speech characteristic of the images created by the actors are analyzed. Conclusions. The verbal characteristic of the image contributes to the actor's representation of certain internal characteristics of the character, his emotional state, deep reaction to events and/or actions of other characters, changes in lifestyle and worldview, etc., and in the context of postmodern aesthetics, when stage texts double coding" – a complex phenomenon of postmodernism, artistic and aesthetic means of which in theatrical art is a synthesis of different languages and codes of literature and philosophy in a holistic hypertext of performance, contribute to the understanding and comprehension of semantic aspects of theatrical production. The actor's use of elements of speech characteristic contributes to the expansion of his professional speech competence, the diversity of speech sound of the stage word. The components of speech characteristics can act as expressive means that reveal important aspects of the character; the necessary form of revealing the internal content of the stage image; an important element of the psychophysical structure of the role; an artistic technique that enhances the expressive possibilities of the stage word, and, accordingly, helps to form verbal symbolic means of expressing the artistic meanings of the performance. In our opinion, for the organic process of forming the stage image in general and the speech characteristics of the character in particular, the actor must not only expand his attention, observation, and ability to understand and comprehend the psychological and social causes of human behavior, but also deepen knowledge of psycholinguistics and speech therapy. Because only the organic combination of these factors contributes to the design of optimal stage speech, which corresponds to the concept of each specific performance.

A new Test of Filterability has been developed. Measurements carried out with different types of wines indicate that the new filterability index is a useful tool for understanding and predicting the propensity to fouling of treated or untreated wines, e.g. with or without enzyme addition. The measurement method used in the Test of Filterability, requires only one type of membrane for all types of wine, and uses the same equipment as the traditional Fouling Index. Numerous trials have demonstrated that the filtration of wines is governed by standard blocking law. The definition of the new Test of Filterability, based on this filtration law, is proposed. The choice of membrane and the selection of the optimal pore size were based on the results of the experiments. Current methods used for the determination of fouling properties in wine filtration have been developed for the membrane filtration of small quantities of suspended matter. Enzyme treatment is a process often used in wine clarification. The new Test of Filterability indicates the best conditions for the filtration of all types of wines. The test is easy to implement and has been validated with various wines. This new Test of Filterability is an important tool for winemakers as it constitutes a simplified test of a wine's filterability. The new test may also be used to determine the filtration process that is best adapted to each wine while reducing the number of operations. The same approach may be adopted for the filtration of other liquids.

Authors: YAŞAR Enes
Published: December 2021

Bu çalışmanın amacı Sanatçıların Hayat Hikâyeleri adlı kitap üzerinden öyküsel sanat hikâyelerinin bireylerde oluşturabileceği estetik duyarlılıkları saptamak ve bununla birlikte estetik eğitiminin bilişsel ve duyuşsal becerilere olan katkısını ortaya koymaktır. Estetik eğitimi sanat eserlerini salt bir görüntü ya da yüzeysel bir beğeni olarak görmekten öte eserlerin derinliklerinde/arka planlarında yer alan sanatsal yönleriyle de ilgilenmektedir. Estetik eğitimi bu yönüyle 2019 Türkçe Dersi Öğretim Programı’nda Türkçe eğitiminin bir alt alanı olarak benimsenmiştir. Bu noktadan hareketle çalışmada sanatçıların hayat hikâyeleri ve eserleri öğrenme becerileri açısından incelenmiştir. Araştırmada doküman incelemesi yöntemi kullanılmış ve amaçlı örnekleme yoluna gidilmiştir. Eserde yer alan 10 sanatçının hayat hikâyesi, estetik eğitimi doğrultusunda değerlendirilmiş ve elde edilen verilerde içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada ayrıca, sanat hikâyeleri aracılığıyla Rönesans resmi ve heykelcilik anlayışı da bilişsel ve duyuşsal beceriler açısından incelenmeye dâhil edilmiştir. Zira Sanatçıların Hayat Hikâyeleri adlı eserde okurların Rönesans sanatçılarını ve eserlerini estetik bir algıyla kavrayabilecekleri, eserler üzerine analizlerde bulunabilecekleri anlaşılmıştır. Son olarak öyküsel sanat tarihi hikâyelerinin öğrencilerde estetik bir duyarlılık oluşturabileceği ve beceri temelli katkılar sağlayabileceği kanaatine varılmıştır.

Employees in an organization form the most important segment of productive capacity. Therefore, effective employee relations management is essential to achieve organizational success. In modern organizations employees need counselling, mentoring, and involvement, among other intrinsic drivers to motivate and boost their morale for necessary superior performance. Managing employee relations has deep psychological perspectives and requires that management uses recognition as a powerful tool to encourage organizational citizenship behaviour, job satisfaction, and employee happiness to promote career and organizational success. The exploratory research design was used for the study involving 108 respondents. Data generated through primary and secondary sources were analyzed through descriptive and regression statistical techniques and the result showed very strong positive relationship between managing employee relations and organizational success. The study was not exhaustive; therefore, further study could examine the relationship between organizational commitment and employee performance. It was suggested that modern organizations must cultivate the culture of open communication to enhance employee motivation and performance.

The 2019 General Election is another milestone and a watershed in the efforts of Nigeria towards democratisation. It has been the six consecutive times that General Elections are successfully conducted in the Fourth Republic which has been unprecedented in the history of the country. This work investigated the major issues, challenges, successes and lessons learnt from the Election. It is notable that elections in Nigeria for over fifty (50) years remain a war-like affair and the phenomenon seem to be continuous despite the long experience of democratic practice in the current Republic. The research used both primary and secondary sources of data analysis. The primary sources consist of participant observation, data from the electoral body; the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and reports from observers and civil societies that directly participated in the exercise. The secondary sources include books, journals, internet and other existing literature on the subject matter of study. The data obtained were analysed and discussed using a qualitative approach method where themes and sub-themes were identified and discussed analytically. The research discovered that the 2019 General Election was heralded with several issues, various challenges and some level of success and that there are lessons that are learnt from the process for future General Elections’ conduct in the country. The work recommends among other suggestions that for a better General Election in future in the country, some observed avoidable mistakes must be taken care of immediately and that the success part should be strengthened to ensure effectiveness.
