Background: Prepyloric diaphragm is a rare cause of gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). Accurate diagnosis is often difficult and is usually confirmed after surgery. To avoid delayed management, this entity, with its specific clinical and radiological features, should be kept in mind. Case presentation: We report a case of prepyloric diaphragm in a 7-month year old boy. He presented with non-bilious vomiting since birth. A first upper gastrointestinal series was initially misinterpreted as gastroesophageal reflux. After re-examination of the gastrointestinal series, a pyloric obstacle was suspected, and a second Contrast study evoked a pyloric obstacle which gave rise to the indication for surgical exploration after resuscitation. Endoscopy was suggestive of the diagnosis and the accurate diagnosis was done during surgery. Conclusion: This report illustrates the complexity of this diagnosis. Knowledge of this entity and a good, detailed analysis of contrast study in combination with ultrasound and endoscopy could lead to a rapid diagnosis and an adequate care with a good prognosis.
Image - based poultry disease detection using deep convolutional neural network
Authors:   , Mbelwa Hope
Published: June 2023

The poultry sector in the country is highly affected by diseases including Coccidiosis, Salmonella and Newcastle that have a significant impact on production. Lack of reliable information and proper methods of farming has led to the spread of the diseases as the majority of farmers practice traditional farming, hence lack a systematic way to detect and diagnose the disorders. Poultry farmers rely on experts to diagnose and detect the diseases; access to the experts is also a challenge due to the limited number of extension officers. With the available tools from artificial intelligence and machine learning, there is a potential to semi-automate the diagnostics process for the most common diseases in chickens. This study proposes a solution for predicting diseases in chickens using faecal images and deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Additionally, the work leverages the use of pre-trained models and develop the solution for the same problem. Based on the comparison, it is indicated that the model developed from the XceptionNet deep learning framework outperforms other models for all the metrics used. The experimental results indicate the accuracy of transfer learning at 94% using pre-training over the other models from fully training on the same dataset. The results show that the pre-trained XceptionNet framework (94%) has the best overall performance and highest prediction accuracy, and can be suitable for chicken disease detection application. The findings show that the proposed model is ideal for poultry diseases detection method.

With the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) the health sector around the world has been faced with many challenges. This has created a need for alternative methods of offering treatment; and among them is Home Based Care (HBC). Home Based Care is a health system where patients are offered treatment in their localities or homes. The main objective under this project was to develop a mobile system application to facilitate and support monitoring of patients in Home Based Care so as to handle pandemics like COVID 19, and at the same time meant to be used by Village Health Teams (VHTs) to capture information from patients under treatment in their localities. The evolutionary prototyping methodology was used to develop the application system. Furthermore, both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods such as document review, interviews, observation methods and questionnaires were used to collect data about this research project. At last, a government Home Based Care application to facilitate the handling of pandemics like COVID-19 was developed. It shows that majority of the respondents believe the system will be able to reduce or solve the identified problem in this dissertation. Majority of the users and those who got to use the application agree that the application is easy to use and navigate. The respondents also expressed their confidence in the application’s ability to enable the implementation of Home Based Care as an alternative to offering health care in situations of pandemics like COVID 19. In this project, we carried out unit testing, integration testing, and system testing and user acceptance testing as a means of carrying out software validation. The developed application passed successively all of the tests meaning that the developed application perform as it was expected. Based on the scope of this project, many of the features were not included in this prototype. Some of the known future works will be to add an admin account which will be managing the application. This account will be able to oversee all the VHT Officer accounts and will also be able to monitor the patient’s progress

Năng lượng đóng vai trò quan trọng trong cuộc sống của con người, tuy nhiên các nguồn năng lượng hóa thạch có tác động xấu đến môi trường và sức khỏe con người. Bên cạnh đó, các nguồn năng lượng hiện nay cũng đang bị khai thác cạn kiệt. Vì vậy việc tìm ra nguồn “năng lượng xanh” mới rất cần thiết. Nhiên liệu sinh học được xem là nguồn năng lượng thay thế nổi bật nhất và đã được nghiên cứu cũng như sử dụng rộng rãi trên thế giới. Trong đó, cây Cọc rào (Jatropha curcas L) có tiềm năng, giá trị to lớn, được nghiên cứu rất nhiều trong việc dùng làm nguyên liệu sản xuất dầu diesel sinh học, thay thế được phần dầu diesel truyền thống. Loại dầu này giúp giảm thiểu được lượng khí thải gây hiệu ứng nhà kính và đặc biệt không có lưu huỳnh (S) nên rất thân thiện với môi trường. Tuy nhiên, tại Việt Nam các nguyên liệu sản xuất cồn sinh học – nhiên liệu sinh học chủ yếu là lúa, bắp, khoai lang, khoai mì, mía và nguyên liệu sản xuất dầu thực vật là đậu nành, đậu phộng, cây có dầu… chưa có nhiều nghiên cứu về cây Cọc rào cho sản xuất nhiên liệu sinh học. Do đó, chúng tôi đã nghiên cứu trồng thử nghiệm cây Jatropha ở xã Lộc Thành, huyện Bảo Lâm, tỉnh Lâm Đồng [1]. Kết quả cho thấy cây Cọc rào phát triển tốt ở khu vực nghiên cứu, chiều cao và đường kính cây phát triển mạnh, ngoài ra cây còn có khả năng sinh trưởng tốt ở khu vực vùng núi tại huyện Bảo Lâm.
Challenges of economic diplomacy at the beginning of the XXI century: Concept, division and significance
Authors: Maksimović Marijana
Published: June 2023

At the beginning of the XXI century, we are witnessing great changes, caused by crises, conflicts in the world, and epidemics that change our way of life and work. In recent years, digitalization has progressed so much that it has affected the organization of work and contributed to the way many companies operate differently. Rightfully so, people begin to wonder if they can continue to manage their lives or if they will be forced to surrender to the waves of circumstances created "outside". In this context, there was a change in economic diplomacy, which also faced challenges that affected it so its role and its importance increased. As geoeconomics separated from geostrategy, economic diplomacy gained more importance. Today, international economic policy and economic diplomacy have become as important as the classical issues of peace, security, and general prosperity. Economic diplomacy takes place at all levels, at which classical diplomacy also takes place, but it deals exclusively with economic topics, related to competitiveness, profitability, supply of raw materials, and energy. The author starts from the assumption that there have been major changes in international economic relations in the last decade and that they have significantly influenced the importance and improvement of economic diplomacy. The method of description and analysis was used in the work, and the scientific contribution is reflected in the area of strengthening the economic national identity of a country in international economic relations. Furthermore, the obtained conclusions can serve Serbia for better positioning in terms of international concreteness, but also for the advancement of national economic interests. The aim of this paper is to highlight the emerging challenges in economic diplomacy during the last thirty years. Economic diplomacy became an important tool in international business relations, promoting national companies, products, and services, but also many other forms of economic cooperation in the XXI century.

The modeling of outdoor path loss propagation is critical in the planning and construction of the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) coverage area. For GSM signal prediction at any location inside its service region, a precise forecast based on critical characteristics and a mathematical model is required. Numerous research findings on path loss propagation model forecast for GSM mobile networks conducted in various cities in Nigeria revealed that the COST231-Hata model gives closer prediction to most of the practical measure path loss values. Based on the existing COST-23-Hata path loss model and outdoor measurements at 1800 MHz frequency range within Ilorin metropolis, this paper proposed a suitable path loss model. The developed model was used and validated in various locations throughout Ilorin city with the measured and COST-231 Hata models. The analysis of the results revealed that the developed model performed satisfactorily in terms of the closest path loss prediction to the practical measure path loss values at all study locations. It also has the lowest Square Root Means Error and Standard Deviation (SD) of any Base Station (BTS) tested in Ilorin, Nigeria.

A high proportion of lubricants used in automobile engines are mineral-based oil. The depletion of oil reserves and the concerns (non-biodegradable, toxic and environmental issues) of mineral based lubricants prompted the research for a viable alternative. Vegetable oil has been proposed as a potential substitute for the mineral-base lubricants due to its natural and eco-friendly characteristics. In this study, optimization of tribological characteristics of blended SAE 40 produced from SN 500 mineral oil, Shea butter bio-base oil, and viscosity improver was carried out on pin-on-disc tribometer. Taguchi and Taguchi-grey relational method were used to optimize the load and sliding speed to obtain the minimum specific wear rate and coefficient of friction (COF) for the blended SAE 40. The optimum parameters using Taguchi’s and Taguchi-grey relational analysis methods are 8 N load and 5 cm/s sliding speed. At this optimum condition, the minimum specific wear rate of 0.007 mm3 /Nm and minimum coefficient of friction of 0.001 were observed. The developed mathematical model was validated against the experimental results. Deviation of about 5% was obtained in the wear rate model using Taguchi model. Also, the correlation of about 89.77% was observed between the model developed using Taguchi-grey relational model and experimental values. This implies that the two models can be used to predict the tribological properties of blended SAE 40 lubricant.

Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) utilization possessed a great public health benefit, especially among the community with never ending malaria pandemic. Sustenance of ITNs practice in malaria endemic areas has a negative impact on the success and sustainability of its use as malaria prevention option. Indeed, ITNs reduced malaria related morbidity and mortality among children, if sustain. The study assessed the used of ITNs, as a means of malaria prevention, by exploring the level of awareness, knowledge and challenges confronting the utilization, focusing on children under the age of five, in Katagum Local Government Area (LGA), Bauchi state, Nigeria. Sixty (60) mothers of under five years children attending Matsango Primary Healthcare Centre in Azare town, Katagum LGA, Bauchi state, were conveniently selected as the respondents of the study. Structured questionnaire was administered to the respondents. The collated data was analyzed using SPSS version 21. 95% confirmed that awareness of ITN use influence its utilization, 55% said that ITN use offered direct malaria prevention effects, while 46% believed that the use of ITN make someone sweat, despite its malaria prevention potency. It was therefore concluded that appropriate health policies targeting the reduction of malaria related morbidity among the under-five children, should consider not only the ITNs availability for the household, but advocate the use of ITNs, through health education on the cause, transmission, symptoms, prevention, and control as a component of the ongoing efforts of malaria prevention programs among the mothers of children under the age of five.
