The Infodemic and its Impact on the Mental Health of Researchers and Health Professionals: The COVID-19 Pandemic Aftermath
Authors: Hilton Deborah
Published: October 2024

Before the pandemic, research focused on measuring stress and workload in the workplace. However, during the pandemic, the mental health of researchers, clinicians, policy makers, and the public, became a significant topic. The COVID-19 pandemic not only triggered a global health crisis but also unleashed an “infodemic”—an overwhelming flood of information significantly impacting the mental health of researchers and health professionals. This short communication is an attempt to explore how mental health issues were often overlooked during the global pandemic. Addressing mental health issues for researchers and health workers globally iscrucial. As we continue to deal with COVID-19 challenges, understanding the large amount of existing information and the future impact on mental health will be important and interesting to track in the coming years.

JUSTIÇA OU LEGALIDADE? O DILEMA DECISÓRIO DIANTE DE NORMAS INJUSTAS
Authors: Munhoz André Ricardo Antonovicz
Published: October 2024

O presente ensaio teve por objetivo discutir a conduta judicial decisória quando a norma infraconstitucional incidente se constitui como injusta, a fim de contemplar resposta adequada ao seguinte questionamento orientador da pesquisa: Poderia o jurista, especificamente o magistrado, deixar de aplicar uma norma infraconstitucional considerando-a injusta? Inicialmente, considerou-se que sob uma visão positivista estrita, o juiz estaria limitado à interpretação e aplicação técnica da lei, sem se envolver em avaliações de justiça, contudo, ao adotar uma abordagem mais ampla, surge a possibilidade de resistir à aplicação de normas que violem direitos fundamentais. A resistência a leis injustas tem respaldo em teorias de direito natural e justiça substancial, as quais reclamam que as leis devem estar alinhadas a princípios morais e de equidade. A isso se acresce o desafio enfrentado pelo positivismo jurídico no pós-Segunda Guerra, emergido dos horrores praticados sob regimes totalitários, aí despontando a "fórmula de Radbruch" que sintetiza essa tensão ao sugerir que o direito positivo deve ser seguido, exceto quando insuportavelmente injusto. Conclui-se que, nos casos de injustiça extremada e socialmente reconhecida, o magistrado pode, e deve, deixar de aplicar normas que violem a dignidade humana, mesmo que formalmente válidas.

Penerapan unsur mens rea dalam kasus tindak pidana korupsi di Indonesia tidak seragam. Sebagian penegak hokum menggunakannya untuk pembuktian, sebagain lagi tidak menggunakan. Konsep mens rea yang diadopsi dari system hokum common law masih menimbulkan perdebatan. Penelitian yang menggunakan metode normative dan me- ngacu pada studi kepustakaan dan studi putusan pengadilan menyim- pulkan bahwa penerapan unsur mens rea tidak selalu digunakan oleh penegak hokum. Perkembangan asas kesalahan  menjadi asas tiada  ke- salahan mempengaruhi pengambilan keputusan dalam setiap kasus ko- rupsi.

Authors: Demouchy Sylvie , Bolfan-Casanova Nathalie
Published: October 2024

L’intérieur de notre planète est l’une des dernières Terra Incognita. Sa composition chimique et sa structure en oignon faite de roches solides et de minéraux rares en font un objet fascinant. Mais c’est surtout sa dynamique qui fait de notre planète Terre un objet si singulier dans le système solaire. Elle est la seule planète à avoir une tectonique des plaques pérenne et active depuis quelques milliards d’années. Alors que sa dynamique est évidente en surface (séismes, éruptions volcaniques, ride médio-océanique), la nature même du manteau terrestre, sous la croûte terrestre et en contact avec le noyau, n’a pas révélé tous ses secrets.Pédagogique, Structure et dynamique de l’intérieur de la Terre 2 rappelle les principes fondamentaux de plusieurs propriétés physicochimiques clés des matériaux qui composent le manteau terrestre. Cet ouvrage expose ensuite les dernières avancées technologiques utilisées à hautes pressions et hautes températures pour reproduire en laboratoire les conditions extrêmes du manteau terrestre. Il présente également les derniers résultats scientifiques les plus marquants.
Influence of covariance of aerosol and meteorology on co-located precipitating and non-precipitating clouds over the Indo-Gangetic Plain
Authors: Gulistan Nabia , Alam Khan , Liu Yangang
Published: October 2024

Abstract. Aerosol–cloud–precipitation interaction (ACPI) plays a pivotal role in the global and regional water cycle and the earth's energy budget; however, it remains highly uncertain due to the different underlying physical mechanisms. Therefore, this study aims to systematically analyze the effects of aerosols and meteorological factors on ACPI in the co-located precipitating clouds (PCs) and non-precipitating clouds (NPCs) in winter and summer seasons by employing the long-term (2001–2021) retrievals from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) coupled with the National Center for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalysis-II datasets over the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP). The results exhibit a decadal increase in aerosol optical depth (AOD) over Lahore (5.2 %), Delhi (9 %), Kanpur (10.7 %), and Gandhi College (22.7 %) and a decrease over Karachi (−1.9 %) and Jaipur (−0.5 %). The most stable meteorology with high values of lower-tropospheric stability (LTS) is found in both seasons over Karachi. In the summer season, the occurrence frequency of clouds is high (74 %) over Gandhi College, 60 % of which are PCs. Conversely, the lowest number of PCs is found over Karachi. Similarly, in the winter season, the frequency of cloud occurrence is low over Karachi and high over Lahore and Gandhi College. The analysis of cloud top pressure (CTP) and cloud optical thickness (COT) indicates high values of cloud fraction (CF) for thick and high-level clouds over all study areas except Karachi. The microphysical properties such as cloud effective radius (CER) and cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC) bear high values (CER ≳ 15 µm and CDNC ≳ 50 cm−3) for both NPCs and PCs in summer. The AOD–CER correlation is good (weak) for PCs (NPCs) in winter. Similarly, the sensitivity value of the first indirect effect (FIE) is high (ranging from 0.2 ± 0.13 to 0.3 ± 0.01 in winter and from 0.19 ± 0.03 to 0.32 ± 0.05 in summer) for PCs and low for NPCs. The sensitivity value for the second indirect effect (SIE) is relatively higher (such as 0.6 ± 0.14 in winter and 0.4 ± 0.04 in summer) than FIE. Sensitivity values of the aerosol–cloud interaction (ACI) are low (i.e., −0.06 ± 0.09) for PCs in summer. Furthermore, the precipitation rate (PR) exhibits high values in the summer season, primarily due to the significant contribution from optically thick clouds with lower CDNC (≲ 50 cm−3) and larger CER and the intermediate contribution from optically thick clouds with higher CDNC ( ≳ 50 cm−3).
Justice In Her Labyrinth: Doctrinal Reasoning, Lacanian Psychoanalysis, and Legal Formalism's Problem of the Subject
Authors: McTiernan Daniel R.
Published: October 2024

In this Note, Lacanian psychoanalysis provides a model for approaching what Pierre Schlag called “The Problem of the Subject” in contemporary legal thought. Schlag argued that all schools of contemporary legal thought “establish, depend upon, and eclipse a quintessentially liberal individual subject.” David Caudill has posited Lacanian psychoanalysis as a framework for accounting for an irrational subject of law. This Note expands on Caudill’s work by applying Lacan’s linguistics of the unconscious to solve the “Problem of the Subject” in legal formalism. In conjunction with Jessie Allen’s scholarship casting doctrinal reasoning as a disruptive psychological practice, Lacanian psychoanalysis may account for the “eclipsed” subject of legal formalism without undoing legal formalism’s core tenets.

Authors: Karthikeyan Dr.M. , Margaret Dr.S. , Sarulatha Dr.N.
Published: October 2024

FinTech is giving banks new ways to stay competitive in the digital sphere. Banks may now function more effectively, spend less money, and provide better customer service thanks to fintech technologies. Banks also use fintech solutions, like blockchain and artificial intelligence, to offer their clients more individualized services and safer transactions. Fintech companies are also giving banks access to new technology, including data analytics, which enable them to better understand their consumers and create products and services that better suit their needs. By offering a different perspective on how various business ecosystems and layers have facilitated the emergence of innovation-focused fintech companies and what the primary value drivers of their success have been, the research detailed in this paper aims to close a gap in the under-researched and still-evolving fin-tech literature. Key value drivers are found by leveraging the author's extensive professional knowledge in the field in addition to identifying recurring patterns in recent research. Combining qualitative and quantitative methods allows for a more in-depth analysis of both underlying perspectives and trends that are seen. Semi-structured interviews are conducted with representatives of the fintech industry and private banks in Chennai. A purposive sample technique is used to select participants, who include technical experts, regulatory bodies, founders of fintech companies, and senior executives from traditional banks. After 200 questionnaires were sent out, 190 of them were returned with answers. The data were analyzed using a structural equation model, confirmatory factor analysis, percentage analysis, and reliability test. The conceptual framework and foundation needed to comprehend the swift and prosperous development of recently developed financial technologies are provided in this article. The author hopes that by giving a precise definition of fintech, academics studying the fintech industry from the perspectives of regulatory issues and value-added design would be able to speak with greater consistency.

Man by nature is a homo pensantis. This means that he has the capacity to analyze, synthesize, deduce, etc. However, we must question how educational institutions strengthen critical thinking (CP). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze its level in academic tasks assigned in the classroom context based on active methodologies as an integral element of a quality and sustainable education. The methodology was based on a documentary review with a qualitative and bibliometric approach. The corpus consisted of thirty-one articles extracted from the Scopus database. Likewise, the Prisma Technique was used for the exclusion and inclusion of the documents consulted. The writings are from the years 2020 to 2023. The results showed that CP is a limitation for the student, since its exercise demands the use of complex cognitive skills such as analysis, interpretation, inference, evaluation, etc. It was concluded that PC is necessary in the classroom context, since it is important to induce the search for contradictions and assumptions and to question a reasoning accepted as truth, becoming an indispensable requirement for higher education to provide training tools to students to respond to current sustainable needs.

Published: October 2024

Flatulence, or the passing of gas, can be caused by various factors, including the consumption of foods that contain hydrogen sulfide. When these foods are digested, they can release hydrogen sulfide gas, accumulating in the intestines and releasing flatulence. The present study aimed to give a scientometric overview of publications on flatulence regarding productive sources/journals, top active authors, foremost affiliations, prominent countries, and most used author’s keywords. In all, 4752 articles were downloaded from the Web of Science [WoS] database [2007-2021], consisting of journal articles, review articles, and the English language. Data analysis and network visualization maps were created using Micro Soft Excel, Biblioshiny, and VOS viewer. The results indicate that the most productive author was Germain DP contributed 53 papers with the highest received 4026 citations. The topmost journal contributions were Plos One with number 113. Findings revealed that the top two institutions were from Canada. It was revealed that the United States, and China were the second-ranked in document contributions related to flatulence research. Articles produced by single-country publications had a higher number of papers compared with papers produced by multiple-country publications. Clinical research is a crucial aspect of healthcare as it helps determine the safety and effectiveness of new medical interventions, which can be used to improve patient outcomes related to flatulence research.

Framework of Computer Science Learning Through Hybrid Service Learning Oriented Visual Toward the Continuum of Visualization Thinking and Generic Skills
Authors: Majid Umi Mastura Abd , Atan Noor Azean , Rukli Rukli , Khan Aqeel
Published: October 2024

Computer Science learning requires students to think logically and understand its practical implementation in real-life situation clearly. However, the lack of learning activities that bridge the gap between theory and practice hinders their ability to depict learned concepts in real-world scenarios and master generic skills. Therefore, Computer Science education necessitates visualising learning concepts in real-life contexts, such as implementing Service Learning activities. However, in the current post-COVID-19 endemic situation, it is not feasible to implement this approach fully face-to-face. Thus, integrating Service Learning activities through technology-mediated means is essential in Computer Science education. Hybrid Service Learning activities, using technology as a medium, are instructional designs that provide opportunities for students to apply theoretical knowledge practically in real-life situations. Therefore, in this study, Computer Science learning activities were designed with visual materials through a hybrid service learning website to support the continuum of students' visual thinking and their generic skills. Subsequently, the effects of Computer Science learning activities on the continuum of students' visual thinking, level of generic skills, and perception were analyzed. A quasi-experimental study design was used, which involved a total of 27 respondents and took 15 weeks to complete. The research data was analyzed using descriptive analysis and inferential statistics. The results of paired t-test for the continuum of students' visual thinking levels, including visual thinking, visual learning, and visual communication, indicated an improvement with a significant difference of [p<0.05] between the pre- and post-activities. In terms of students' generic skills levels, the paired t-test for the pre-Service Learning [PS], during-Service Learning [DS], and post-Service Learning [AS] phases showed a significant difference of [p<0.05], which indicated an increase in students' mastery of skills and changes between each phase. Furthermore, students' perceptions revealed positive feedback towards hybrid service learning. Overall, based on the findings of this study, a framework for visual-based hybrid service learning was developed as a guide for Computer Science education to support the continuum of students' visual thinking and their level of generic skills.
Tourism Management Information System: A Study of its Adoption and Impact on Destination Management
Authors: Shridhar Dr.R. , Udayakumar Dr.R.
Published: October 2024

Tourism has evolved from being a luxury or daring person's occasional hobby. These days, everyone works in the tourism sector, whether it is in the hospitality, entertainment, or catering industries. In actuality, tourism has a significant economic influence on the nation it visits. From short-term to long-term improvements, it raises the growth rate, national profit, investment, and popularity of the nation. One significant trend in the travel and tourism sector is the increased focus on quality from the customer's point of view. The implementation of Tourism Management Information Systems [TMIS] has revolutionised the operational and decision-making processes of destination management organisations [DMOs]. The effect of TMIS on destination management is still not well understood, though. The implementation and influence of TMIS on destination management are examined in this study, along with how it affects operational effectiveness, destination competitiveness, and decision-making. A mixed-methods approach was used, incorporating case studies of DMOs in [region/country], interviews, and surveys. The results show that the implementation of TMIS increases the capacity for making decisions, boosts operational effectiveness, and increases the competitiveness of destinations. Nonetheless, difficulties with user resistance, system integration, and data quality were noted. The report offers guidance to DMOs looking to use TMIS for efficient destination management and the growth of sustainable tourism.

Authors: Ali Raya , Raj Dr. Micheal
Published: October 2024

This study examines the implementation of translanguaging in language-integrated learning classrooms, focusing on 134 students in India who speak Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Malayalam, and Hindi. Using ethnographic methods, conversation analysis, surveys, and K-means clustering techniques, the findings highlight the importance of translanguaging in addressing students' learning needs and enhancing their engagement and comprehension. The teacher created a co-learning environment by incorporating translanguaging shifts, allowing students to co-develop projects in English and bilingual versions. This approach not only facilitated content learning but also affirmed students' identities. The teacher's stance on translanguaging emphasized collaboration among educators to ensure successful implementation. The integration of native languages into English instruction enabled code-switching and multilingual interactions. While some students preferred traditional methods, most appreciated the acknowledgment of their linguistic backgrounds, suggesting that translanguaging fosters inclusive and effective language education. The study offers practical recommendations for educators and highlights the broader implications for multilingual education. The positive response to translanguaging underscores its potential to leverage students' linguistic resources, enhance learning outcomes, and enrich educational experiences globally.

Published: October 2024

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo presentar el proceso de creación, constitución y difusión de la colección “Pioneros del cine chaqueño”, actualmente albergada en el Museo del Cine “Pablo Ducrós Hicken” de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Esta valiosa colección contiene materiales audiovisuales en soporte fílmico producidos por cineastas chaqueños entre principios de la década de los sesenta y finales de los setenta. En total se trata de aproximadamente cuarenta films que abarcan una amplia variedad de géneros y formatos, incluyendo ficción, documental, animación, cine experimental y publicidad, entre otros. Estos trabajos, realizados íntegramente en la provincia del Chaco, fueron históricamente excluidos de las narrativas predominantes del cine nacional, las cuales han estado centradas en las producciones de Buenos Aires. La colección “Pioneros del cine chaqueño” surgió a partir de un proyecto de investigación del mismo nombre, iniciado en 2019 en la ciudad de Resistencia, Chaco, bajo la tutela del Instituto de Investigaciones Geohistóricas (IIGHI, CONICET/UNNE). A través de este proyecto, se lograron identificar más de ochenta obras audiovisuales producidas por equipos de producción completamente locales, aunque lamentablemente más de la mitad de estas obras se han perdido o aún no han sido encontradas.
Este artículo se plantea como un ejercicio reflexivo sobre la colección, especialmente considerando que sus creadores //anonimizado// y //anonimizado//, también son los autores de este trabajo. El presente texto no solo documenta la génesis y desarrollo de la colección, sino que también subraya la necesidad de investigación, preservación y difusión de las obras audiovisuales de la colección. De este modo pretende contribuir a la memoria histórica y audiovisual de la región Nordeste Argentino y además, contribuir a pensar nuevos proyectos de conservación fílmica en Argentina.
Türkiye’deki Eğitim Yönetimi Felsefesinin İncelenmesi
Authors: Tümçelik Özge
Published: October 2024

Educational management has been tried to be defined by a small number of studies that are thought to have been conducted in a philosophical context, and these studies have contributed to the understanding of the field of educational management. However, these attempts aimed at the epistemological description of educational administration in the past periods have mostly consisted of questions and answers that can be considered to belong to the ontological field, going beyond epistemology. The fact that the social foundations of educational administration are based more on epistemology has brought to the fore the need for this field to be defined by the questions of epistemology. The inadequacies and shortcomings seen in the ontological description of the concepts related to education management have caused the field of education management to become a field stuck in the swamp of ideology or fragmented. New efforts to be made in an epistemological context are extremely important for minimizing this division in the coming periods and for the field of educational administration to continue its development by getting rid of vicious discussions. When looking at the focal point of management action, the option of channeling the organization to eliminate the negativities that may create obstacles to managerial processes in a structure is in the first place. In order to ensure the survival of the system and increase organizational success, the need for a healthy functioning management model is unquestionably important. Understanding how education management systems work is also possible by examining the ontological basis of education management. Education, as a means of influencing both individual and social identity, inevitably remains in the orbit of politics and thus attracts the attention of many groups in society, groups with different interests and different forces. In other words, it is thought that the focus of education management is the implementation of decisions made in educational institutions. In summary, it is emphasized that such educational approaches, processes and practices and determinations contribute to the expression of the ontological state of educational management and draw attention to the main objectives, especially the basic facts of educational management. Key Words: Education, Educational Philosophy, Educational Management

Authors: Singh Shweta , Manish Bajpai , Singh Shraddha
Published: October 2024

Background: Hypertension is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in today’s world, wherein sedentary lifestyle and fast food dominate the youngsters and middle aged population. Also stress, increased screen time and lack of sleep hygiene are leading the population at risk of metabolic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Hormones also play a significant role in etiology of hypertension.
Materials and Methods: Our study was carried out in physiology department, King George’s Medical University, Lucknow. This was a cross sectional observational study, including apparently healthy females in age group 18-35 years, having regular ovulatory cycles, and not undergoing any medication for chronic disease. We excluded pregnant and lactating females, those beyond the age criteria and patients of chronic diseases. Our study participants were initially trained to undergo ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, and twenty four hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was done in the peak of menstrual, proliferative and luteal phase, considering ovulation at day (x-14), where x is the last day of menstrual cycle.
Results: On comparing, systolic BP, mean in menstrual phase came out to be 103.79 with S.D 15.25, In proliferative phase it was 105.41, with S.D 7.33, in luteal phase it was 124.13, with S.D 10.60. (p <0.001)
In diastolic BP, mean of 63.6 with S.D 15.75, in menstrual phase, 68.44 with S.D5.66 in proliferative phase and 76.32 with S.D 6.77, was observed. (p <0.001).
Considering mean arterial pressure, in menstrual phase mean was 78.03, with SD 10.95, in proliferative phase 79.91 with S.D 6.34. In luteal phase, it was 89.58 with SD 5.49. (p <0.001)
Comparison of pulse shows a gradual rise on transition from menstrual to proliferative phase, however the results did not reach a significant value.
Conclusion: our study shows that blood pressure tends to rise on transition from menstrual to proliferative and luteal phases, hence this should be taken into consideration while screening and diagnosing females as hypertensives.

Published: October 2024

Background: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and awareness of Occupational Therapy (OT) among the public in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. There is a lack of prior research on this topic in the region, highlighting the need for a comprehensive evaluation of public understanding.
Methods: A survey consisting of 20 questions was distributed to 385 participants, with 59.2% identifying as male and 40.8% as female.
Results: The findings revealed that 66.5% of participants had heard of OT, while 33.5% had not. In terms of educational background, 15.3% held a diploma, 39.2% a bachelor’s degree, 8.8% a master’s degree, 4.4% had completed postgraduate education, 27.3% had a high school education, and 4.9% were uneducated. Notably, 73.8% expressed interest in learning more about OT, while 13.3% did not and 13.2% were unsure. Regarding their perceived knowledge, 18.4% felt they had sufficient information about OT, 40.5% did not, 29.1% believed their knowledge might be sufficient, and 11.9% were uncertain. Furthermore, 24.4% of participants believed that OT had the necessary tools in Saudi Arabia, while 32.7% disagreed, and 42.9% were unsure.
Discussion: The study highlighted a significant disparity in awareness of OT in Al-Ahsa and acknowledged the difficulty in locating previous regional studies. The high percentage of participants interested in learning more about OT indicates a strong demand for educational resources and outreach. Furthermore, nearly half of the participants reported a lack of sufficient information, underscoring the urgent need for accessible resources and public education. The findings suggest that enhancing awareness and understanding of OT could improve healthcare outcomes and community engagement. Future research should focus on developing targeted educational initiatives to address the identified gaps in knowledge. Despite certain limitations, this study provides valuable insights into the awareness and understanding of OT in Saudi Arabia, particularly within Al-Ahsa.
Conclusion: The findings of this study reveal a critical gap in knowledge and awareness of Occupational Therapy among the public in Al-Ahsa. Addressing these gaps through educational programs and community engagement is essential for improving the understanding of OT's role and benefits.

Correlation Between Hallux Flexor Strength and Dynamic Balance in Chronic Ankle Sprain Individuals - A Pilot Study
Authors: S Krishna Harish , Shetty Sudeep , C Dsouza Aarol
Published: October 2024

Background: Lateral ankle sprain stands out as a prevalent injury in both competitive sports and recreational pursuits. Athletes reported residual ankle pain, instability, and weakness. People who have Chronic ankle instability frequently have mechanical deficits, sensorimotor deficits, or a combination of both. Flexor hallucis weakness and decreased toe-flexion strength have been observed in these patients, in order to maintain balance, the extrinsic toe flexors at the ankle joint and all of the toe flexors against the supporting surface through the pads of the planted foot's toes must provide the maximum amount of plantar flexor force. Therefore, the aim of this study is to correlate between hallux flexor strength and dynamic balance in chronic ankle sprains individuals
Methods: The study included 20 individuals with Chronic ankle sprain. Each participant’s great toe flexor strength was measured by pinch gauge dynamometer and dynamic balance was assessed using star excursion balance test. Data was analysed using SPSS version 20.0 and p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Findings: The correlation analysis between the Star Excursion Balance Test scores and hallux flexor strength (lbs) yielded a correlation coefficient (r value) of -0.122 and a corresponding p-value of 0.562. p value >0.05 shows correlation is not statistically significant. Therefore, there is insufficient evidence to conclude a significant correlation between Star Excursion Balance Test scores and hallux flexor strength based on the provided data.
Conclusion: According to the study’s findings, the hallux flexor strength does not influence dynamic balance in chronic ankle sprain individuals

Authors: Verma Bindiya , Verma Sachin , Yadav Sudipti
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Asthma is a common respiratory problem in children, however, its severity assessment in objective terms is difficult.
Objective: To compare the usefulness of Pulmonary Index Score (PIS) with spirometry.
Methods: A total of 100 children aged 6-17 years with clinical diagnosis of asthma were enrolled after excluding children with congenital or acquired cardiovascular, respiratory problems, juvenile diabetes mellitus and those unable to undertake spirometry. Demographic and clinical evaluation of patients was done. PIS was calculated by evaluating respiratory rate, wheezing and sternocleidomastoid activity.
PIS total scores 0, 1-3, 4-6 and 7-9 were categorized as No, mild, moderate and severe asthma. Pulmonary expiratory flow rates (PEFR) % of predicted values >1, 0.8 to 0.1, 0.6 to 0.8 and <0.6 were categorized as No, mild, moderate and severe asthma. PIS and PEFR diagnoses were compared. Kappa-statistic was used to measure agreement.
Results: Majority of children were aged <13 years (85%) and were boys (60%). Cough (88%), wheezing (70%) and repeated cold (54%) were the most common presenting complaints. A total of 30% each had mild and moderate while 18% had severe asthma as per PIS. On spirometry, asthma was confirmed in 75% children. Mild, moderate and severe asthma was diagnosed in 26%, 33% and 16% children with the help of spirometry. Overall, there was agreement on 76% cases between PEFR and PIS (k=0.675; p<0.001), The sensitivity and specificity of PIS in detection of moderate/severe asthma was 87.8% and 90.2% respectively.
Conclusion: PIS is a simple and effective evaluation tool for pediatric asthma.

The issues of flight planning of an unmanned air reconnaissance vehicle in accelerated motion mode are considered, considering the minimal distortion of generated images. The problem of optimal functional relationship between shutter and flight speed values has been solved. Minimization of the total image blur in the specified mode is achieved by appropriately selecting the functional relationship between the flight and shutter speeds when imposing a certain restrictive condition on the total value of the shutter speeds during accelerated flight with increasing speed.
