Analytical Approach to Calculate Idealized Surface Current for a Shielded Magnetic Field Coil in a Separable Coordinate System
Authors: Lee Seung-Kyun , Schenck John
Published: June 2022

A theoretical method is described to analytically calculate a pair of surface current densities which produce a desired static magnetic field in one region of the space, and zero magnetic field in another. The analysis is based on the known relationship between a surface current density and a stream function, the equivalence of stream functions and surface magnetic dipole density, and the scalar potential representation of the associated magnetic field in free space. From these relations, we formulate the magnetostatics problem, which is often treated as a vector field problem, as a scalar field problem in which a two-dimensional scalar field (stream function) is related to a three-dimensional one (magnetic scalar potential) via the differentiation of the electrostatic Green’s function 1/|r-rs|. It is shown that, in a coordinate system in which a separated form of the Green’s function exists (separable coordinate system), there exists a simple relationship between a harmonic component of a stream function and a harmonic component of the magnetic scalar potential. The method is applied to calculate idealized surface current patterns for actively shielded, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) gradient coils in the Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates.
Detection of Mycolic Acid Implying the Presence of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis H37Rv in Host

Published: June 2022

Tuberculosis is a widespread infectious disease that affects millions of people worldwide every year. The bacterium, responsible for causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (Mtb) which belongs to Mycobacteriaceace family. It is a gram positive bacteria and highly aerobic in nature which enters the host by the means of inhalation. Several tests are performed for the diagnosis of tuberculosis such as chest X-rays, culture, tuberculin skin test, interferon gamma release assays and histopathology. These techniques are expensive as well as take a lot of time in confirming the presence of bacteria. A cost and time effective way to diagnose the disease could be with the help of lipids present in the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The cell wall skeleton is chemically composed of three covalently linked components: peptidoglycan, arabinogalactan and mycolic acids. All these components can be exposed by rupturing the cell wall by suitable means. After their exposure mycolic acids can be extracted. Mtb contains three types of mycolic acids i.e. alpha, methoxy and keto mycolic acids. These lipids consist of several functional groups which are expected to give positive result for the organic qualitative analysis. These functional groups are alcohols, carboxylic acids, ketone and ether. Each functional group has different tests which one can perform in order to confirm its presence. This review is describing several chemical tests and these can be done by using mycolic acid as sample. The chemical reactions can impart colour, show effervescence or can show precipitation for identification which in turn will confirm the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the patient.

Authors: Nouh Faiza , Elfagi Salima , Omar Mariam
Published: June 2022

Food security refers to the food availability and the ability to access it by each individual in the community. Food security can be measured by daily calorie intake by a person per day, which accessible and available on a household budget. Several factors affect the level of family food security. This paper aims to describe the prevalence of food insecurity in the eastern part of Libya, and its relationship with household and individual socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. It also provides estimates of dietary energy consumption and inequality in food consumption among the eastern part Libyan population. Tobrouk city has the highest average dietary energy consumption while Darnah city has the lowest average dietary energy consumption. Only (25%) of the subjects consume adequate daily energy consumption; (11%) and (63%) of the subjects consume low and high daily energy consumption respectively. Gender, family size, and living area are the factors associated with the level of food adequacy among the subjects of this study at P (< 0.05). Management of food insecurity in Libya requires comprehensive, well designed, and thoughtful food security policies.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a life-threatening complication in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and its development can be unpredictable. The aim of this study was to find independent predictive factors of CS in a Moroccan cohort of ACS patients. Methods: This was a retrospective, comparative, and analytical monocentric study, including 319 ACS patients admitted between January 2018 to April 2021 in MVMIH’s cardiology center. Patients who presented with CS on admission were excluded from the study. This population was divided into two groups: the « shock » group patients eventually developed in-hospital CS and the « no shock » group which did not, and we compared overall patient characteristics and outcomes. Results: 319 ACS patients were included, among them 21 (6,6%) developed CS. Overall, the strongest predictive factors included the presence of acute heart failure on admission (OR = 14,83; 95% CI = 5,45 – 40,32; p < 0,001), GRACE score ≥ 140 (OR = 9,03; 95% CI = 3,20 – 25,46; p < 0,001), left ventricular ejection fraction < 50% (OR = 8,94; 95% CI = 3,08 – 19,53; p < 0,001), eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy (OR = 9,78; 95% CI = 2,61 – 36,70; p < 0,001), and right ventricular dysfunction (OR = 12,25; 95% CI = 2,55 – 58,93; p = 0,002). Complications were more prevalent in the « shock » group with a higher mortality rate of 57,1%. Conclusion: CS in the setting of ACS is correlated with poorer prognosis and higher late mortality, justifying adequate and early diagnosis and management in high-risk patients.

Published: June 2022

The growing complexity of the business world, associated with economic and financial globalization, has led to an increase in economic activity between companies and countries, which has given rise to the need to adopt a set of internationally accepted accounting standards, in order to mitigate the different accounting practices between countries and companies. In this sense, the International Accounting Standards Board, IASB, was created, responsible for creating a set of accounting standards with a global scope. The European Union joined the IASB, in the accounting harmonization process, leading to the adoption of the IASB's international standards as from 2005, all listed companies. In Portugal, it was decided to bring the national accounting system closer to international standards. For this purpose, the Accounting Standardization System, SNC, was created by the Accounting Standardization Committee (CNC), which includes a set of accounting standards, based on the international standards of the IASB. Decree-Law No. 192/2015 of 11 September, institutes the Accounting Standardization System for Public Administration in Portugal. This introduction eliminated a problem recognized in the diploma as “fragmentation constitutes a serious problem of technical inconsistency, as it affects the efficiency of the consolidation of accounts in the public sector and entails many adjustments that are not desirable and that question the reliability of the information in headquarters of its integration." Thus, it is referred in the legislation, after “15 years since the approval of the POCP and after having considered the needs of having an accounting system that responds to the requirements of adequate planning, reporting and financial control, the Government decided, through the Decree-Law No. 134/2012, of 29 June, instructs the Accounting Standardization Committee to prepare a new accounting system for public administrations, which is consistent with the SNC and .......

COVID-19 Translated Messages: Arabic Speakers’ Acceptability of Lexical Choices
Authors:   RMIT University, Australia, Khlaif Saleem Fahad , Ghaeb Rafid Abdul-Ameer ,   Al-Mamoon University College, Baghdad, Iraq
Published: June 2022

Worldwide, there is an increased reliance on COVID-19-related health messages to curb the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, it is vital to provide a well-prepared and authentic translation of English-language messages to reach culturally and linguistically diverse audiences. However, few studies, if any, focus on how non-English-speaking readers receive and linguistically accept the lexical choices in the messages translated into their language. The present study tested a sample of translated Arabic COVID-19-related texts that were obtained from the World Health Organization and Australian New South Wales Health websites. This study investigated to that extent Arabic readers would receive translated COVID-19 health messages and whether the translation would affect their preparedness to easily accept and their ability to fully comprehend the messages in terms of the used lexical items. The survey-based research also explored the translation process and methods that would best ensure the messages would reach the target audience with the least loss of meaning. The study concluded that some acceptability issues and comprehensibility failure were detected in the available translated versions as a result of improper word selection, which could be attributed to adopting a literal translation method and uncommon collocations of certain medical terminologies. Therefore, this study recommends that effective translation of COVID-19-related health messages will be achieved by adopting a two-tier translation process, preferably involving a medical specialised translator.
The Inner Wasteland in Selected Later Plays of Samuel Beckett
Authors:   University of Baghdad, College of Languages, Department of English Language, Azeez Rasha Abdulmunem
Published: June 2022

The inner wasteland can be observed in Samuel Beckett’s early and later plays. His characters suffer from loss of identity, emotions, and sense of time. They lead a life of failure, repetition, inaction, loneliness, doubt, suffering, and nothingness. The inner wasteland includes many aspects, such as the multi and split identity, the habitual repetitive element of life, the dark sorrowful life the characters lead, lack of communication and relations among them, their unfree, inactive condition, their foggy terrible recollections, loneliness, dryness of love, and uncertainty. The analysis and the illustration of each aspect will show how the inner wasteland is intensified in the selected later plays of Beckett.
The Discussion of Language and Poetry in A.R. Ammons's Garbage
Authors:   University of Mustansiriyah, College of Arts, Department of Translation, Baghdad, Iraq, Challab Hussein Kadhum
Published: June 2022

A.R. Ammons's Garbage is a unique poem in all measures, starting from the title to the subject matter of the poem. Though it discusses the ecological repercussion of waste management, the long poem is written to shed light on the correlation between language\poetry and garbage. The paper argues that in his examination of language\poetry and garbage as both reflectors of human life and experience, Ammons claims that redemption is possible through both language and garbage by scrutinizing human experience whether low or high, mundane or sacred. This paper tries to examine Ammons's efforts to use the farfetched metaphor of garbage to discuss language and poetry-writing.

Investigation of seismic behavior of ring-shaped, elliptical, and T-ADAS yielding dampers in Chevron bracing
Authors: Abbasi Hassan
Published: June 2022

In addition to absorbing much of the vibrational energy due to entering the plastic area, the dampers that give in to the Chevron brace will also prevent the braces from buckling like a fuse. Because the low stiffness of the damper impairs its performance and the excessive stiffness of the damper will cause the buckles to buckle, the lateral stiffness of the damper must be designed in the optimal state.
Therefore, to increase the yielding damper's performance, the damper's geometric conditions should be defined so that most of it surrenders before local buckling. This paper uses ABAQUS finite element software to investigate circular, elliptical dampers and T-ADAS dampers in Chevron bracing. After examining the one-story frame, it was found that the TADAS damper had a better performance. Then an irregular 16-story structure equipped with a TADAS damping system under dynamic loading is investigated.

A big factor as to why Human-Wildlife Conflict is a major issue in the African context than in the western world is the level of income stability. This is heightened by the fact that most communities that live near wildlife settlements in Africa are poor rural communities. The people in the Mara are a good example of such a community. One of the reasons why this plague has been so persistent is because the rules and regulations are too broad and do not factor in the differences within the communities that live within reach of wildlife populations. This research has singled out the main difference within these communities as being gender and focuses on gendered differences. The objective of this research is to examine the gender dynamics that affect Human-Wildlife Conflicts. To fulfil the objective, the research set out to test the hypothesis of whether gender dynamics influence wildlife conservation measures. The methodology for this research was guided by a descriptive research design which entailed the use of observation, questionnaires, and interviews to gather data. The samples were automatically classified into the two established genders, male and female. The findings concluded that the following attributes affect how the genders interact with Human-Wildlife Conflicts household roles, agricultural occupation, income loss, injuries, land ownership, and marital status. This was because the null hypothesis was disproved. After all, the p-value: =0.006435 was less than the agreed significance level of 0.05. These results indicate that there is a correlation between gender dynamics and Human-Wildlife Conflict. Therefore, gender mainstreaming needs to be considered in the wildlife conservation discourse.
