Enhance Mobile Phone Digital Camera Images Using Band Reject Filter and Discrete Fourier Transform
Authors: Rusul H. Al_taie  , Hawraa abd Al_kadum hassan
Published: February 2023

These days, We know that mobile phones with camera are very common to  used by most of the people because of their ease of use and carry . So I figured I need for mobile phone images processing. These images are often subjected to a variety of types of distortion, such as noise, poor illumination, and blur due to transmission , image acquisition and mobile movement during capturing scene. This Degradation leads to produce distorted images are not suitable for viewing or application. To overcome this degradation, this paper presents image improvement in mobile phone by distortion removal using Band Reject Filter and DFT to obtain on the best clear image. Periodic noise is sinusoidal of several of certain frequencies and periodic in nature. It looks identical to the bars that the image is covered. The proposed method is subjected to eliminate this noise from a set of images using Band Reject Filter using discrete Fourier transform that attenuate and replace a number of degradation bands. Then, computes the peak signal to noise ratio metric for each band. After that, select the largest value of each band for the purpose the making one clear image. Finally, the bands that carry value large are merged to produce a one image. The final image is converted to the spatial domain using an inverse Fourier transform. The experimental outcomes indicate that the proposed method improves the degraded image by a greater percentage without using the better value for metric and makes image more clear and  informative compare with the input image.
SGMRP-Utilizing a Mobile Ad Hoc Network to Develop a Scalable Geographic Multicast Routing Protocol for Localization
Authors: Abdalilah. G. I. Alhalangy
Published: February 2023

Group’s communications using Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) have recently drawn a lot of interest. Information is delivered to a group of receivers simultaneously through a process known as multipath. Therefore, to enable team communication activities, an effective and efficient multipath routing protocol is essential. Enhancing multicast routing has been the subject of numerous initiatives. However, they don't account for scalability. A scalable geographic multicast routing protocol was proposed in this research (SGMRP). This protocol's primary goal is to create a compact, adaptable multipath routing strategy that works regardless of the number of broadcast participants or the magnitude of the network. Using a prediction model and cross-validation techniques, the model performance evaluation tool assesses model effectiveness. The satisfaction with the service was also evaluated using a question. In addition to reducing the number of participating nodes in localization, the proposed method also gets rid of duplicate packets between clusters. The article introduces the framework's fundamental idea, details its transparent implementations, and finishes with a preliminary assessment of the framework based on typical mobile software kinds.
Divergence Based Feature Selection for Pattern Recognizing of the Performance of Intrusion Detection in Mobile Communications Merged with the Computer Communication Networks
Authors: N. Chitra  , Safinaz. S  , K. Bhanu Rekha
Published: February 2023

The Feature Selection concept is the procedure where in the data is simplified removing the irrelevant features. Divergence method is another strategy of method where in the relation among the attributes and class is measured to understand their contribution to performance. Nowadays the mobile network is  integrated with the other networks like the computer networks transmitting all kinds of data leading to attacks in  networks  known as intrusion in computer networks equally applicable to mobile communications.  So in this paper the intrusion detection method involving the other other mode of communication is considered in mobile interaction network. The proposed algorithm performs feature selection using the divergence evaluation method to reduce the feature set. A 10% KDDCUP99 data set was used for the evaluation of the proposed algorithm, and performance metrics were evaluated using the C4.5 classifier. The metrics TPR, FPR and consistency were compared with the mutual information based DMIFSA, RMIFSA, MMIFSA methods and the proposed method is implemented on Python 3.8 that proved to achieve the high accuracy of 99.94% as compared to other methods and also reduce the redundant features. The consistency in Accuracy is maintained almost from 4 features to 10 features in proposed method as compared to other methods that indicates the stability of the system is achieved.
The contribution of immunohistochemistry to the development of hydrogels for skin repair and regeneration
Authors: Carton Flavia
Published: February 2023

Hydrogels based on various polymeric materials have been successfully developed in recent years for a variety of skin applications. Several studies have shown that hydrogels with regenerative, antibacterial, and antiinflammatory properties can provide faster and better healing outcomes, particularly in chronic diseases where the normal physiological healing process is significantly hampered. Various experimental tests are typically performed to assess these materials' ability to promote angiogenesis, re-epithelialization, and the production and maturation of new extracellular matrix. Immunohistochemistry is important in this context because it allows for the visualization of in situ target tissue factors involved in the various stages of wound healing using antibodies labelled with specific markers detectable with different microscopy techniques. This review provides an overview of the various immunohistochemical techniques that have been used in recent years to investigate the efficacy of various types of hydrogels in assisting skin healing processes. The large number of scientific articles published demonstrates immunohistochemistry's significant contribution to the development of engineered biomaterials suitable for treating skin injuries.
שָׁלוֹם proclamations in the Book of Jeremiah: The dilemma of Jeremiah 4:10 and 23:17
Authors: Wessels Wilhelm J.
Published: February 2023

The use of the noun שָׁלוֹם in the Book of Jeremiah, as it occurs in prophetic proclamations, is of interest for this article. From an overview of a number of passages, it seems that the utterances in Jeremiah 4:10 and 23:17 are contradictory. In Jeremiah 4:10, Jeremiah utters the phrase שָׁלוֹם יִהְיֶה לָכֶם, but in 23:17 he rebukes prophets for proclaiming the very same message. The author argues that the prophet Jeremiah, as he is portrayed in the Book of Jeremiah, developed in his thinking and reaction to matters in correspondence to political and social changes that occurred in the history of Judah. A case is argued that 4:10 should be assigned to the prophet Jeremiah.Contribution: This article offers original research in the field of biblical studies, more specifically, in the field of the Old Testament. This is in line with the scope of HTS Theological Studies. The article aims at addressing a contradictory pronouncement in Jeremiah 4:10 and 23:17 regarding שָׁלוֹם prophecies in the Book of Jeremiah. The issue of false שָׁלוֹם prophecies and the danger of such proclamations are at the heart of the discussion
Utility of pulse-oximetry screening in newborns with nonductus-dependent cyanotic congenital heart defects
Authors: Arvind Balaji , Saxena Anita , Ramakrishnan Sivasubramanian
Published: February 2023

Objectives:

We aimed to compare the performance of pulse-oximetry screening in detecting nonductus-dependent cyanotic congenital heart defects (CCHDs).

Methods:

In a prospective cross-sectional study, we recorded post ductal saturation of neonates (<48 h old) born at a community hospital in northern India. Subsequently, all underwent clinical examination and echocardiogram by a trained cardiologist. A saturation <95% was considered a “failed” screen.

Results:

Ten neonates were identified to have nonductus-dependent CCHD on echocardiogram, five of whom had passed pulse-oximetry screen. This translated to a sensitivity of 50% (95% confidence interval [CI] 23.7%–76.3%) and a positive predictive value of 0.08 (95% CI 0.03–0.2), both of which were significantly less compared to that in ductus-dependent congenital heart defect.

Conclusions:

Up to half of the nonductus-dependent CCHD may be missed if screened only using pulse oximetry. Parents should not be reassured regarding the absence of CCHD only based on a “pass” in pulse-oximetry screening.

Authors: Sai Praveen K. Naga Venkata , Veeraraghavan Gajendra , Ramesh T. , Teja T. Navya , Upendra G. , Kalyan Y.
Published: February 2023

Background and Aim:

This study was aimed to clinically evaluate the effectiveness of 810 nm diode laser and cryosurgery in the management of oral leukoplakia (OL) in terms of healing outcomes.

Materials and Methods:

Thirty subjects clinically and histo-pathologically diagnosed as having OL were randomly allocated into two groups. Group-1 consisting of 15 subjects each treated with cryotherapy, Group-2 was treated with an 810 nm diode Laser. VAS scale was used for evaluating the postoperative discomfort due to pain and Bates- Jensen Wound Assessment Tool was used to evaluate clinical wound healing.

Results:

Data analysis was done by using one-way ANOVA for intragroup variations. For intergroup comparisons Paired t- test was used. A statistically significant number of recurrences was noticed in the cryo group compared to the LASER group.

Conclusion:

This study results suggest that both cryosurgery and laser therapy were effective in terms of patient comfort. However more number of recurrences and mild post operative edema in the cryo group make LASER therapy a better management option.

Authors: Mane Swati , Patilsoman Bhakti , Bhate Poorvi , Das Deepa , Malusare Pratik , Tomar Nalini
Published: February 2023

Background:

Oral leukoplakia is a condition commonly associated with tobacco use. The literature also has documentation pertaining to likely cancerous transformation of leukoplakia. It is always a challenge to discover a therapeutic modality to prevent this transformation. Imiquimod is an immune response modifier possessing antiviral and anti-tumor activity which is being explored as an off label use in many cancerous conditions.

Aim:

To show any regression in oral leukoplakia and to test its safety and tolerability.

Setting and Design:

This is a randomized, open-label, single-centered clinical pilot study carried out with Imiquimod.

Material and Methods:

Two groups OPD of dental college with topical 5% Imiquimod and Topical Vitamin A (50,000 IU) were compared for their efficacy in the management of oral leukoplakia, pre- and post-treatment clinically and regression of oral dysplasia was observed histopathologically. Unit of improvement was noted for assessing the effectiveness of treatment.

Statistical Analysis:

Quantitative data were analyzed by Wilcoxon signed test.

Results:

Topical 5% Imiquimod application resulted in good clinical response +1, +2 unit of improvement with more regression of lesion noted in non-homogeneous leukoplakia and areas with less salivary contamination. Topical Imiquimod 5% is the best alternative to conservative management of moderate to severe dysplasia cases where we can offer more to the patient than just observation, and it is also better than a surgical option where surgery leads to more morbidity, in recurrent cases.
A Rare Case Report of Congenital Granular Cell Epulis
Authors: Vijayalakshmi K R , Priyanka R , Pai Ankitha S
Published: February 2023

Congenital granular cell epulis is a very rare tumor first described by Neumann in 1871. It is of mesenchymal origin with the female predilection in the ratio of 8:1. The lesion appears as a large protuberant mass and is commonly associated with obstruction causing difficulty in feeding and deglutition. We report a case of a newborn female who had feeding difficulty because of a protuberant mass arising from the oral cavity. The mass was surgically excised under general anesthesia and was histopathologically proven as congenital granular cell epulis. The follow-up for 3 months showed no recurrence. There are reported complications prenatally and postnatally. Hence, the treatment should be initiated early. The treatment of choice is complete surgical excision and no recurrence has been reported.
Chronotherapy in the Treatment of Oral Pemphigus Vulgaris
Authors: Waghmare Mandavi , Puthenveetil Sejal S.
Published: February 2023

Oral vesiculobullous lesions are highly dynamic in their presentation making the current treatment strategies fall short of expected complete remission. With continuing research on the various treatment modalities of these lesions it is suggested that treating a disorder by following the biological and physiological behavior of the various bodily enzymes and hormones and their circadian rhythm helps in alleviating the symptoms faster with lesser or no side effects. This concept is termed “Chronotherapy.” It works by timing the treatment with the intrinsic timing of illness.
Playing for oman Ghana: Women’s Football and Gendered Nationalism
Authors: Adjepong Anima
Published: February 2023

Feminist scholars of nationalisms acknowledge the gendered character of national identity. Due to their association with heterosexual masculinity, national sports teams are one avenue through which gendered nationalisms manifest. Football (soccer) represents the peak of sporting masculinity and national identity around the world. Following the inaugural Women’s World Cup in 1991, women’s football continues to gain global popularity, raising questions about what new forms of nationalism can take root through this sport. Recent transnational feminist research has highlighted how, despite feminist resistance, patriarchal forms of gendered nationalism persist. Using the case of Ghanaian women’s football, I examine how reactions to the national team shape and reveal understandings of gender and national identity. I find that whilst state institutions use their support of the women’s team to shore up heteropatriarchal national identity, some spectators and fans discursively advocate for a recognition of women footballers as citizens and workers. These findings have implications for how activists and scholars engage the gendered construction of national identity.
Satisfaction With The Status Quo: Why has Religious Terrorism not yet Gained Ground In Chad?
Authors: Dickow Helga
Published: February 2023

Chad is one of those countries touched by Islamist violence that has originated mostly from its neighbours. However, thus far Chadian Muslims and Christians have demonstrated a positive attitude toward religious cohabitation. Survey data from a unique dataset of five Chadian cities confirm the population’s willingness to accept peaceful coexistence as well as a high level of religiosity. However, the data reveal Islamist fundamentalist attitudes among wealthier respondents who received either an Islamic-based primary education or have a first university degree. This combination is an unusual result. These respondents also show the highest support for authoritarian structures and the Chadian leadership. This leads to the conclusion that Islamist fundamentalism is most prominent among those persons who benefit most from the present regime.

The dark surrealism of Phyllis Haring’s poetry
Authors: Wylie Dan
Published: February 2023

The slender poetic oeuvre of Phyllis Haring (1919–2016) is now almost forgotten. Only one collection, A Taste of Salt, was published in 1976, and a number of poems appeared in small magazines until 1991. Though she is unquestionably a “minor poet,” I argue that her dream-like, dark yet musical work is worth attention, especially as something of a local pioneer in Surrealist techniques. (Surrealism’s influence more broadly in South African poetry is apparently yet to be comprehensively explored.) This article aims to reintroduce Haring’s work, and suggest some possibilities for further, more precisely theorised study. Following a biographical sketch and brief history of her publications, I respond to selected poems to provide a preliminary taste of her salty, almost Nietzschean, world-view, her craft, and some persistent techniques, themes and images – notably of human cruelty, death, and the natural world.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of marketing communication variables and religiocity variables on customer loyalty. This study also analyzed the role of religiocity variables as mediator variables between marketing communication variables and loyalty variables.This research uses a quantitative approach. and interviews with five respondents to confirm quantitative research findings. Sampling was conducted in February 2022. The population in this study was the entire Karateka Dojo 37 Indonesia in Rawamangun, East Jakarta. The number of samples in this research was 75 respondents. This number of samples meets the conditions in the analysis using the SEM-PLS method.The results of this study prove that marketing communication has a positive and significant influence on customer loyalty. Meanwhile religiocity has no influence on customer loyalty. The results of interviews with five respondents revealed that the improper way of delivery led to a multi-interpretation of the religiocity aspect. The religiocity variable cannot act as a mediator variable between marketing communication and loyalty.This research contributed to the theory of customer retaining strategies, especially in karate organizations in Indonesia. This research also proves that in today's era of very fierce competition, the use of marketing communication is one of the most effective ways to maintain customer loyalty.

EFFECT OF PROMOTING COMPOUNDS OF INDIRECT SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS IN THREE Agave SPECIES
Authors: Hernández-Solis Monserrat , Arzate-Fernández Amaury Martin , Martínez-Martínez Sandra Yarenssy , Acosta-Villagrán Laura
Published: February 2023

The Agave genus is one of the largest and most widely used in Mexico, mainly for the production of alcoholic beverages. The species in this genus are characterized by their long-life cycles and limited sexual reproduction, which endangers them and demands the search for an alternative that allows mass multiplication and preservation of these species. Somatic embryogenesis (ES) is emerging as a solution to solve this problem, although it is a complex process that depends on a large number of factors and the development of species-specific protocols. Osmotic stress is one of these factors, a condition that can promote the formation and maturation of somatic embryos through the application of compounds such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) or abscisic acid (ABA). So far, no studies have been reported on the effect of osmotic stress on somatic embryogenesis in Agave species. In this work we evaluated its effect on the expression and maturation of somatic embryos in Agave angustifolia, A. cupreata and A. salmiana. Its formation was determined using two concentrations of ABA (3 and 9 mg L-1) and two concentrations of PEG (50 and 70 g L-1) in callus obtained from embryonic zygotic axes. Treatments with 9 mg L-1 ABA and 50 g L-1 PEG favored the formation of somatic embryos in the three species evaluated, in addition to the treatment with 70 g L-1 PEG, with which A. angustifolia was obtained. Somatic embryo formation was asynchronous, especially for A. cupreata. Seedling regeneration from somatic embryos was achieved in A. angustifolia, A. cupreata and A. salmiana.

Published: February 2023

The objective of the study is to evaluate the factors affecting the application of the green supply chain management model and its impact on the corporate image; through the survey of documents on green supply chain management, the study has proposed a model including four factors affecting the application of green supply chain management and the image of enterprises. By applying the PLS-SEM method through the survey of 290 managers come from travel agencies, hotels, and restaurants, the results show that all four factors: internal environment of the business, external environment, pressure from environmental regulations, and green marketing both have a positive impact on green supply chain management practices at tourism businesses . In addition, the research results also show that the external environment and pressure from local, central, and international regulations directly impact the corporate image of tourism businesses. However, the results showed no impact of the internal environment and green marketing on corporate image. On the other hand, the research results also show the low impact of creating awareness from the internal environment of the business on GSCM. This study also discusses the conclusion, recommendations, limitations, and suggestions for further study.

Introduction: Yemen is among the most water-stressed countries in the world, due to a naturally dry climate, regional drought in recent years, and falling groundwater levels due to unsustainable drilling. This work aimed to assess the current knowledge and practices on water, hygiene, and sanitation in conflict-affected communities and internally displaced people in selected districts of Abyan governorate - Yemen.
Methods: A community-based cross-sectional house-to-house survey was conducted in 2019 in three rural districts in Abyan governorate, Yemen. A total of 446 households were randomly selected and a structured interview questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents through face-to-face interviews. Data were checked, cleaned, and entered to the SPSS version 22 for analysis.
Results: The participants had inadequate knowledge and practices on water, sanitation, and hygiene. Only less than a quarter of the participants received any related education. The surveyed households had poor socioeconomic conditions such as poverty and illiteracy. Both water quantity and quality were inadequate, open defecation still exists, and open dumping of solid waste is common.
Conclusion: This study calls for an urgent solution to address the challenges regarding inadequate quantity and quality of water in the surveyed areas. Moreover, it is of paramount importance to address the socio-economic vulnerabilities such as poverty, and illiteracy, and to maintain medium- and long-term solutions for water provision and environmental sanitation. For effective implementation of these solutions, education tailored to the context and the need of the population should be designed.
Effect of Henna-Induced Pigment Nephropathy on Kidney Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Amiri Fateme Shamekhi
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Henna is extracted from a plant with scientific name of lawsonia intermis (Lawsonia alba) that is used for hair dye and fortified henna which is used for tattooing. The aim of this research was effect size assessment of henna on kidney outcomes.
Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, thirty patients with henna and kidney impairment were considered. Clinical presentation, biochemical data, imaging, therapeutic modalities and follow up of data of patients were investigated. Prevalence rate of categorical variables was assessed with frequency and percentage and continuous variables with mean and median. Effect size of henna-induced pigment nephropathy was assessed using mean difference by Cohenʼs d test.
Results: In this study, nine out of thirty patients had history of topical/inhalational and twenty-one (70%) consumed swallowed mixed henna with paraphenylenediamine via various hair dyes or traditional alternative medicine. Para-phenylenediamine was detected in urine of 10% of patients using thin layer chromatography (TLG) and thin layer chromatography-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TLC-GC/MS) method. Three patients developed acute kidney injury (AKI) and one patient acute kidney disease (AKD) during follow up. Effect size of elevated serum creatinine based on the last serum creatinine measurement or the last serum creatinine measurement on dialysis modalities using standardized mean difference by Cohen̕s-d law was 1.637 (large effect). The mean average of pre-hemodialysis serum creatinine level and posthemodialysis serum creatinine level was 7.04±4.90 and 4.59±3.06 mg/dl, respectively. Comparison between two variables using paired t test was assessed with p-value of 0.37. Nine out of thirty patients died in the present research.
Conclusion: Henna-induced pigment nephropathy is a disease due to hair-dye consumption. Hair dye related AKI and AKD was seen in 10% and 3.3% of patients, respectively. Effect of mixed henna on kidney outcome was assessed large in this research. Furthermore, the current research revealed high mortality proportion in henna users. Attaining to zero death in mixed henna-induced pigment nephropathy is a target.

Dapagliflozin is the first novel SGLT2 inhibitor for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate its effectiveness and safety in a real-life clinical setting. We analyze data from four hospitals on patients initiated on dapagliflozin. HbA1c, weight and daily insulin dosage was recorded at baseline and 6 months follow-up.229 patients received dapagliflozin. At baseline, mean HbA1c was 82mmol/mol(186) and mean weight was 102 kg(n=159).The average reduction in HbA1c at 6 months (n=121) was 13mmol/mol whereas the average reduction in weight(n=96) was 2kg.A mean reduction in daily insulin requirement(n=41) by 12 units(13%) at 6 months compared to baseline was noted. Nine patients developed candidiasis, eight developed UTI, five reported symptoms of thirst and five developed hypoglycaemia out of which four were on insulin and one on gliclazide. Ten patients discontinued(4%) dapagliflozin due to side effects. Our results confirm that dapagliflozin can be used safely and effectively in a real-life setting.
Keywords: Dapagliflozin, real world, SGLT2, Type 2 diabetes.

गुजरात की भूमि प्राचीन काल से ही धम्मभूमि रही है और महाकारूणिक बुद्ध के विचारों से आलोकित रही है I गुजरात के अधिकांश जिलों में आज भी हमें बौद्ध धम्म से जुड़े अनगिनत अवशेष देखने को मिल रहे हैं और अभी भी खुदाई में बौद्ध धम्म से जुड़े अवशेष बहुतायत में प्राप्त हो रहे हैं I गुजरात के प्रसिद्ध बौद्ध स्थलों में देवनी मोरी (शामलाजी), गिरिनगर (जूनागढ़), आनंदपुर (वड़नगर), तारंगा, भरूच, कच्छ, उना साणावाक्य, खाम्भलिडा आदि हैं I इनमें देवनी मोरी का महत्वपूर्ण स्थान है क्योंकि यह धम्म नगरी थी और यहाँ से महाकारूणिक बुद्ध की श्रेष्ठ धातुएं (अस्थियां) प्राप्त हुई हैं I
