Liver disease management as routine work in primary care: a qualitative interview study to guide implementation
Authors: Jarvis Helen , Sanders Tom , Hanratty Barbara
Published: June 2022

Background

Morbidity from liver disease is rising in the UK. Most cases are caused by alcohol or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and treatable if caught early. Liver disease pathways have been shown to increase detection in the community, but have not been adopted into routine primary care work.

Aim

To explore primary care healthcare professional (HCP) experiences and understanding of chronic liver disease, and where it might fit into management of long-term conditions.

Design and setting

Qualitative interview study with 20 HCPs in primary care in the north of England.

Method

A semi-structured approach informed by a theory of implementation (normalisation process theory [NPT]). Data collection and analysis were concurrent. Interview data were analysed using thematic analysis.

Results

Participants identified the following key areas for action: incentivised frameworks and protocols to drive understanding, organise, and sustain practice; inclusion of common liver diseases into multimorbidity care to reduce complexity and workload; a need to define the GP role within a lifestyle-focused treatment pathway; and education/local champions to initiate and legitimise individual and organisational participation in change.

Conclusion

To embed chronic liver disease management in routine primary care work, researchers and policymakers must be aware of the implementation challenges. These findings can guide the adoption of effective pathways and help bridge the implementation gap.
Pattern Matching based Vehicle Density Estimation Technique for Traffic Monitoring Systems
Authors: Sankaran Sakthidasan
Published: June 2022

Due to increase in vehicle density, the road traffic estimation aids in enhancing the traffic management centre’s performance and their applications. The analysis of traffic surveillance based on video is an active research area that has varied range of applications in Intelligent Transport System (ITS). In specific, urban environments are much more challenging on comparing highways due to the placement of cameras, vehicle pose, background clutter, or variation orientations. There were several techniques employed so far for the process of traffic monitoring using pattern matching, however there were some limitations like reduced rate of accuracy and increased error rate. So as to overcome this, an efficient method is proposed. The main intention of this proposed approach is to monitor the density of traffic and to estimate the vehicle density using Pattern Matching for Vehicle Density Estimation (PMVDE) scheme. In this paper, the pattern matching based vehicle density estimation is employed for enhancing the detection of accuracy thereby reducing the rate of error. The region of interest of an image that is extracted from the video input is being analysed by this process. These two processes are employed in region of interest extracted image for decreasing the density detection errors. This approach attains less false positive rates and error rate, however this in turn influences the accuracy, precision, recall, F-score, and true positive rates and offers enhanced outcome on comparing other techniques.

Dataset from 20 software projects of a startup company in India was used to validate the proposed approach and learn lessons out of it. The estimated software product points and the project efforts were found to have a strong positive correlation, thereby indicating the suitability of the proposed approach for its utility by the managers of future software projects of startups. We also briefly outline the implications for project managers of startups and scope for future research.
Solving Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem Using Meerkat Clan Algorithm
Authors: Mahmood Noor
Published: June 2022

Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) can be defined as one of the optimization problems where customers are allocated to vehicles to minimize the combined travel distances regarding all vehicles while serving customers. From the many CVRP approaches, clustering or grouping customers into possible individual vehicles' routes and identifying their optimal routes effectively. Sweep is considered a well-studied clustering algorithm to group customers, while various Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) solving approaches are mainly applied to generate optimal individual vehicle routes. The Meerkat Clan Algorithm (MCA) can be defined as a swarm intelligence algorithm derived from careful observations regarding Meerkat (Suricata suricatta) in southern Africa's the Kalahari Desert. The animal demonstrates tactical organizational skills, excellent intelligence, and significant directional cleverness when searching for food in the desert. In comparison to the other swarm intelligence, MCA was suggested for solving optimization problems via reaching the optimal solution effects. MCA demonstrates its ability to resolve CVRP. It divides the solutions into subgroups based on meerkat behavior, providing a wide range of options for finding the best solution. Compared to present swarm intelligence algorithms for resolving CVRP, it was demonstrated that the size of the solved issues can be increased by using the algorithm suggested in this work.

Authors: Issa Haitham , Peng Qinmu , Issa Sali , You Xinge , Peng Ruijiao , Wang Jing
Published: June 2022

This paper presents a person-independent Emotion and Gender Prediction (EGP) system using Electroencephalography (EEG) brain signals. First, Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) technique is implemented to get the time-frequency information for the selected electrode (Fz Electrode). Then, it is splitted into twenty sequential batches according to the electrode recorded time in seconds, and the maximum EEG activation voltage is located for every frequency level within each batch to create a 2D time-frequency extraction feature. Next, sparse auto encoder is applied to convert the distribution of the extracted feature into more compact and distinguished one instead. For system evaluation, Human-Computer Interaction) database (MAHNOB-HCI) public dataset with five-fold-cross validation classifier are used and implemented. In experiments, the proposed extracted feature improves the results of both emotion and gender prediction. For emotion prediction, the highest average accuracy is 97.07\%, 93.27% and 91.72\% for three, four and six emotions with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifier, respectively. While, for gender prediction, experiments are tested related to neutral, amusement, happy, sad, and the mix of all these emotions, the highest average accuracy is obtained with CNN classifier in all emotion states (>95%) including the state of mixing all emotions together. As well as, the ability to distinguish between genders in case of mixing different emotions together is practically approved.
An Improved Process Supervision and Control Method for Malware Detection
Authors: Shamshirsaz Behnam , Asghari Seyyed Amir , Binesh Marvasti Mohammadreza
Published: June 2022

Most modern-day malware detection methods and algorithms are based on prior knowledge of malware specifications. Discovering new malwares by solely relying on computer based automatic solutions with no human intervention currently appears out of reach. Many malwares never decode harmful parts of their code until the triggering of a specific event. Others detect virtual machine or sandbox environments and hide their true nature. Detecting these kinds of malwares-specifically multi evented ones-are nearly impossible for fully automatic detection methods. Previous research found that about 75% of malwares studied did not react in a fully automatic environment without user intervention thus being undetectable. This paper introduces a near automated solution to detect malwares quickly by relying on a supervision and control method based on user level capabilities of the operating system. Improving on previous methods, this research can replace the need for debugging new malwares in almost all aspects. This solution forces malwares in automated environments to activate and be discoverable. Researcher intervention during malware code execution along with the malware’s intent over calling sensitive operating system functions and parameters aid this process. Since operating system functions are virtualized malwares are incapable of physically harming the system during execution. The solution reached 98% overall accuracy in conjunction with reducing code size by 80% in comparison with similar techniques, improving simplicity and reliability.
Funerary red (cinnabar versus ochre) and megalithic rituals in the central Iberian peninsula. The hypogean necropolis of Valle de las Higueras, Huecas, Toledo, Spain
Authors: Bueno-Ramirez Primitiva , Barroso bermejo Rosa maría , De Balbin Behrmann Rodrigo
Published: June 2022

La présence de cinabre dans les sépultures collectives du centre de la péninsule Ibérique, montre un rôle symbolique identifiant des pratiques rituelles bien connues dans les mégalithes du sud de la péninsule. Les données obtenues sur la nécropole de Valle de las Higueras à Toledo, dans le contexte du Chalcolithique de l’intérieur péninsulaire (dès le IVe jusqu’au IIIe millénaire cal BC), constituent un point de repère pour réfléchir sur le « rouge funéraire » dans la Préhistoire récente. La source exotique de cinabre, probablement d'Almadén, ajoute un élément unique. Alors que le cinabre était le rouge funéraire « spécifique » du sud de la péninsule Ibérique, les indices trouvés en Catalogne et dans le sud-est de la France témoignent du rôle majeur joué par la vallée de l’Èbre. S'ajoutant aux circuits de l’ivoire, de l’ambre et de l’or, il souligne le rôle du sud dans l’apparition de modèles funéraires qui, au troisième millénaire (en même temps que l'utilisation des gobelets campaniformes est à son apogée), devient particulièrement importante dans toute l'Europe. Les informations provenant des mégalithes ibériques où des pigments ont été prélevés, montrent une nette différence entre le rouge utilisé dans les structures architectoniques des tombes, de pierre ou de terre, et le rouge utilisé pour les os et les figurines humaines. Le cinabre était réservé à ces derniers tandis que les parois sont décorées avec des oxydes du fer. Les décorations gravées associées à la peinture sur les figurines sont une preuve convaincante de la valeur des vêtements teints, ainsi que de la présence plus que probable de vêtements de cérémonie, de linceuls, de peintures corporelles, de tatouages ou de masques. Il est possible que les défunts affichent, à travers la source de leur couleur rouge, des récits qui proviennent de leur vie quotidienne, comme le travail des mineurs, ou encore leur valeur sociale par les vêtements, les tatouages et les peintures corporelles funéraires. On peut envisager une variété d’explications par rapport à l’usage du cinabre, si on tient compte du registre archéologique ici analysé : une ritualité où le rouge joue le rôle de signe de la vie et de la mort avec des symboles qui perdurent tout au long du Néolithique et du Chalcolithique ibériques.
Une nouvelle utilisation du concept Trifacial durant une phase ancienne du Paléolithique moyen de la vallée de l’Isle : le niveau 2 de Petit-Bost (Neuvic, Dordogne)
Authors: Mathias Cyrielle , Bourguignon Laurence
Published: June 2022

La présence de trifaces au sein des assemblages lithiques fait partie des caractéristiques des séries de l’Acheuléen méridional du Sud-Ouest de la France. Le Trifacial est un concept dont les méthodes peuvent être orientées vers la production de supports, ou dans certains cas être mixtes, c’est-à-dire mêlant débitage et façonnage. Le niveau 2 de Petit-Bost (Neuvic, Dordogne), daté du MIS 9/ 8, livre un exemple inédit de son utilisation dans la vallée de l’Isle. Dans cet assemblage, différentes méthodes trifaciales sont présentes. Des matrices uniques de production coexistent avec des matrices présentant une phase de fonctionnalisation dans le schéma opératoire. Trois méthodes ont ainsi été identifiées : débitage strict, débitage/ façonnage et débitage/ confection. Selon la structure trifaciale présente (symétrique, asymétrique) une gamme d’outils diversifiés peut être produite. C’est toutefois la recherche d’outils appointés (contacts de type pointe ou bord-pointe) qui est dominante. La présence du concept Trifacial au sein d’une série de plein air d’une phase ancienne du Paléolithique moyen de Dordogne permet d’accroître nos connaissances sur ce concept encore peu reconnu dans les séries lithiques. Il permet notamment une réflexion sur l’Acheuléen méridional au sens large et les spécificités des séries du Sud-Ouest de la France au Pléistocène moyen récent.

Authors: R Radhika , G Mythili
Published: June 2022

The people of the Sangam period, who lived within a multi-professional social structure such as hunting, agriculture, and war, developed some spells and rituals whenever they had disruptions in those occupations. It is the function of anticipating material needs through nature. The mantras and rituals of ancient society are mostly based on prosperity. In that aspect, the woman who is the core nucleus of human opulence is seen as a symbol of prosperity in various events. The woman is entitled to high respect in the stages of puberty, marriage, and maternity. Especially for the sake of puberty and maternity, the woman is sanctified and forbidden. This article sets out to illustrate how mantra is transformed into religion when the consecrated woman is elevated to the status of a deity.

Covid lockdown upset the whole globe to a stunning shock. Never in life we had ever faced such a crisis, complete lockdown, which all lead up in lonely untouchable deaths, sickness, isolation, quarantine finally ended up in disordered mental health. Though there is an increased awareness on health and using need for staying fit, the lockdown restrictions doesn’t pay space for it. If this is the case for the normal, athletes who dedicate their entire life, investing, time, body, mind and soul all into athletic performance have completely dislodged routines. A layman’s eyes may find life of a sports man a fun filled, excited, easy go. But it’s not the true colour. Ambitious, ameturistic life into training has changed to cloudy future feared min set. The purpose of this study was to find out the mental health status of elite athletes during covid lockdown. To conduct the study, data was collected through google form using Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-10). Out of the 374 athletes who responded, 218  athletes (58.29%) where in extreme stress almost all the time during covid lockdown. Thus it is concluded that, in this situation coach and sports psychologists have to create awareness about the lockdown, contact athletes and council them. Athletes are the pride of every nation, they need to recover from psychological setbacks. So, it is. The need of the hour to design a best training programme suitable and possible during lockdown to  protect their skills and abilities. Even from these minds, our national athletes need to recover from psychological setbacks. So, we need to find the best training method for them and protect their skills.

Diaspora Literature has played an important role in modern Tamil literature. It involves an idea of homeland, a place from where the displacement occurs and narratives of harsh journeys undertaken on account of economic compulsions. Basically, Diaspora is a minority community living in exile. On a global scale, Life of immigrants is largely fraught with problems and challenges. They have to face various difficulties in the countries where they emigrated. Their presence is precariously located in the face of racism. They have lost their own culture and language. Their existence is set among political problems. This article aims to record the Cultural loss, Political and Racical problems of Tamil Diaspora, through the Fictions of Matale Somu who is an International Tamil Diaspora writer living in Australia. He wrote Twenty-five books including five novels, five Short stories books, three Novellas and Research books. This article includes the definition of Diaspora and Culture. And Cultural loss, Political and Race Issues of Tamil Diaspora also discussed in this text.
Cultural principles as expressed in the Murka Nayanar Puranam
Authors: V Kavitha
Published: June 2022

Tamil language has a very ancient history among Indian languages. Literatures in the Tamil language are also excellent factors in making that history better. Due to the proliferation of devotional texts in Tamil, the Tamil language is known as the "Language of Devotion". Saiva and Vaishnavism can be traced back to antiquity through the proverb of Tolkappiyar. Shaiva religion were revived by the Pallavas and the Cholas in the sixth century AD. During the reign of Raja Raja Chola, Nambiyandar nambi compiled the Tirupatikas in the Thillai temple into ten editions. He also added his own songs to the eleven editions. Then he added the great legend of the sekkilar and made it twelve times. The native name of the sekkilar is Arunmozhithevar. This is the twelfth edition of "Periyapuranam" composed by him. The name he gave to this book was "Thiruthondar Puranam". The history of vegetarians is proudly called the Great Myth. The coffee tells the story of 63 Nayans with beauty and devotion. Literature in the classical Tamil language is a portrayal of human life. Literature is a good guide to a happy life. There are many rare ideas in the literature about living in that genre. In this age where writing and speaking about individual rights tends to dismantle all of the bundles of fruitful traditions, there is now an increasing need to talk and write a lot about the responsibilities of every human being. There is no point in talking about the rights of those who shirk responsibilities. The number of crimes is likely to decrease only if individual morality is maintained in the federation of society. The fact that theft cannot be eradicated unless the thief is looked after is a testament to the fact that most prisons and prisons will be redundant if everyone in the country is disciplined in their adoption. This article examines family culture thinking, which takes precedence over individual morals, through the myth of the Murkanayanar.

Distribution Centre Location Selection for Disaster Logistics with Integrated Goal Programming-AHP based TOPSIS Method at the City Level
Authors: GÖÇMEN POLAT Elifcan
Published: June 2022

The importance of disaster logistics and its share in the logistics sector are increasing significantly. Most disasters are difficult to predict; therefore, a set of measures seems to be necessary to reduce the risks. Thus, disaster logistics needs to be designed with the pre-disaster and post-disaster measures. These disasters are experienced intensely in Turkey and the importance of these measures becomes more evidential. Therefore, accurate models are required to develop an effective disaster preparedness system. One of the most important decisions to increase the preparedness is to locate the centres for handling material inventory. In this context, this paper analyses the response phase designing the disaster distribution centres in Turkey at the provincial level. AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) based TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method and goal programming model integration is used to decide alternative locations of distribution centres. TOPSIS method is employed for ranking the locations, which is based on hazard scores, total area, population, and distance to centre. Two conflicting objectives are first proposed in the goal programming formulation, in which maximization of the TOPSIS scores and minimization of the number of distribution centres covering all demands named set covering model are included. Although Gecimli has the highest priority with 0.8 p score in the TOPSIS ranking, Altincevre (0.77) and Buzlupınar (0.75) ensure both the TOPSIS score and coverage of the demand nodes. The results from this paper confirm that the computational results ensure disaster prevention insights especially in regions with limited data.

Romanul misterelor în literatura română a secolului al XIX-lea - o pagină de istorie literară uitată -
Authors: Ursu Manuela-Gabriela
Published: June 2022

The following study looks into the history of a minimally studied Romanian literary form: the mystery novel. The particular aspects that define this subgenre are illustrated by the prose of Ioan M. Bujoreanu, entitled Mistere din București. The nineteenth-century Romanian literature is characterized by a tremendous expansion, particularly when we consider the general development of the novel. The first novels available in Romanian are translations from French literature, most of them very successful books belonging to the popular culture of that time. Following the French model, the Romanian authors created similar novels in which the most important elements were the extraordinary, the intrigue and the sensational situations that were meant to attract a very large public. Analyzing these numerous novels, most of them forgotten today, and trying to classify them we observe that the Romanian literary frame is very diverse. We can identify certain types such as the outlaw, the woman, the criminal or the mystery novel, all of them being eclectic proses. Of all the genres belonging to popular literature, the mystery novel stands out for its preoccupation and openness to illustrating the nineteenth-century social aspects. This type of novel succeeds to capture the literary style and the particular elements embedded in the first novelist writings. One of the most prominent writers who managed to incorporate an image of nineteenth-century society into his novel is Ioan M. Bujoreanu. He creates a very realistic scene of that time by observing the human condition, condemning the injustices of aristocrats against the Romanian peasants and closely describing the city of Bucharest down to the most minute detail. His novel demonstrates the importance of the mystery novel in the nineteenth-century Romanian popular writings which is a sociological one as well as a documentary one.
History of states, history of individuals. Eminescu on Austria and the Romanian Principalities
Authors: Pavel Cătălin , Citirigă Daniel
Published: June 2022

The present article aims to offer excerpts f an essential article by the Romanian “national poet” Mihai Eminescu in the English translation, with a historical commentary. The translation aims to make Eminescu’s text available to an international audience of scholars, helping to write a more accurate social and cultural history of 19th century Europe. In turn, the commentary aims to show that Eminescu’s political vision, although substantially conservative, incorporated a number of tenets that were to become an inspiration for a number of politicians of highly diverse backgrounds, from the Iron Guard nationalists to the Socialists and Communists. Eminescu’s work was used, in ways he could no longer control, in order to legitimize their varied, and at times downright contradictory, claims.
The article discussed here, on “The Austrian influence on the Romanians in the Principalities” (1876) offered Eminescu the opportunity to cast a critical eye on the state organization of the Romanians. His conclusion is exceedingly pessimistic: their state organization is presented as a failure, with the main sources of this failure being the personal interests of the Romanians themselves, compounded by the influence of foreigners. Hence the society based on corruption, rather than on principles, a society where having a job meant ruling, and not having one, being in opposition. In this gloomy picture, the author singled out a class on whose back the whole people lived: the Romanian peasants. The future of this class could not possibly be bright, as Eminescu expected that it be crushed from within, and “along with it, the state and the nation”. Did he also envisage a solution? In order to escape the situation in which “the proximity of Austria is devastating for us, unless we wake up soon”, Eminescu pinpointed three redeeming elements: stability, labour and economy. In other words, hereditary monarchy, the revocation of privileges for the “proletariat of the pen” and the careful spending of public budgets. The alternatives were the Austrian rule, or the Russian rule, none of which comes across to Eminescu as a solution.

This study is aimed at identifying the most noticeable Slavic elements in the calendar rites of Bukovyna. It analyzes material collected by Romanian researchers in the second half of the 19th – early 20th century (E. Niculiță-Voronca, T. Pamfile, L. Bodnărescu, А. Fochi, A. Zașciuc), documents from the Central Scientific Archive of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Moldova, the New Linguistic Atlas of Romania, Moldova and Bukovyna (1987), as well as personal observations recorded by the authors of the study in Ukraine and Romania during ethnographic expeditions. In the calendar rites of the Romanians of Bukovyna, some clear Slavic elements can be identified, such as some names of calendar holidays, Ukrainian elements in such rites as koliada, the Christmas star, shchedruvannya. Ukrainian motifs of musical folklore in winter rites, as well as the use of the names of Ukrainian opryshky and haidamaky, the adaptation of the “walking with vertep”, the use of the term vidma of Ukrainian origin, the penetration of the name and main text of the Ukrainian Malanka, etc.

As the European Union’s Strategy for people with disabilities has been extended to 2030, emphasising the need for these people’s social inclusion, which also comprises accessibility to different information and documents, Romania has to align its legislation and best practices in order to solve its problems concerning this topic. Therefore, this paper focuses on an important aspect of social inclusion, namely Easy-to-Read (E2R) language, which is paramount for the disabled people’s access to information, culture and education. It starts by presenting the concept of Easy-to-Read across Europe, its perception and implementation by various countries, to finally delve into the current situation of Easy-to-Read in Romania. By looking at the analysis and reports on the previous governmental strategies regarding people with disabilities (and especially reading disabilities, for the purpose of this paper), it can be said that Romania still faces challenges in this respect and needs to work on making documents and information accessible by first creating E2R guidelines and then implementing them in printed documents (e.g. adapted textbooks, healthcare leaflets) as well as in the electronic information (e.g. government websites). The paper also traces some future perspectives concerning Easy-to-Read in Romania, namely the Train2Validate “Professional training for Easy-to-Read facilitators and validators” (T2V) project, an Erasmus+ programme, a collaboration between various European countries, that Romania is part of, which goes one step further into helping people with reading disabilities and creating professional roles for them, i.e. facilitators and validators, in order to integrate them on the employment market. Moreover, this research will hopefully raise awareness of the importance of conducting other studies on creating Easy-to-Read guidelines and on simplifying the text according to the different target groups of people with reading disabilities or difficulties and to different text types.

In recent years, studies on social networks have begun to become more and more numerous in the literature, with scientists showing a real interest in an influential analysis that they have on societies. Social networks are tools through which political candidates have the opportunity to distribute their political message during election campaigns, as well as outside them, to a growing audience. A very strong connection has been made between technology and communication, outside of which we, as individuals, can no longer exist, the virtual space managing to exploit communication in all its aspects. Online political communication, an easily accessible form of manifestation that attracts disinterested political groups, offers the possibility of avoiding information bottlenecks for citizens by changing content in real time, with low information costs, which means a real advantage for politicians.The importance of social networks in political communication is even greater as its role is the main channel of communication and occupies a special place in election campaign strategies. The present study aimes to analyze the phenomenon of social networks in terms of the benefits it offers to politics, through an online political communication with content transmitted in real time, without time limit and with low costs.
