Published: April 2024

Background Menstruation is a normal physiological process that begins during adolescence and may be associated with various symptoms with their onset before during or after the menstrual flow. Menstrual problems are generally perceived as an only minor health concern and thus given less importance.Objective This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of menstrual problems among adolescent school girls and to assess the factor influencing the menstrual problems.Methodology Cross sectional study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of menstrual problems among school going students in the age group of 13 ndash 16 years. 320 adolescents girls of four randomly selected high schools located in Mysuru were studied by self-administered pretested semi structured questionnaire.Results Among 320 adolescent girls included in the present study 93 had one or other kinds of menstrual problems. Prevalence of dysmenorrhea menorrhagia irregular cycles premenstrual syndrome and amenorrhea were 55 43 and 14.4 52.8 and 5 respectively. There was no association between socio- demographic variables and menstrual problems.Conclusion Prevalence of menstrual problems was found to be high among adolescent girls. Thus there is a need to undertake regular screening activities for the adolescent girls on menstrual problems in order to detect them early and provide essential support.
Computational Methods for Two-Level 0-1 Programming Problems through Distributed Genetic Algorithms
Authors: Niwa Keiichi , Hayashida Omohiro , Sakawa Masatoshi
Published: April 2024

In this paper, we consider a two-level 0-1 programming problem in which there is not coordination between the decision maker (DM) at the upper level and the decision maker at the lower level. We propose a revised computational method that solves problems related to computational methods for obtaining the Stackelberg solution. Specifically, in order to improve the computational accuracy of approximate Stakelberg solutions and shorten the computational time of a computational method implementing a genetic algorithm (GA) proposed by the authors, a distributed genetic algorithm is introduced with respect to the upper level GA, which handles decision variables for the upper level DM. Parallelization of the lower level GA is also performed along with parallelization of the upper level GA. The proposed algorithm is also improved in order to eliminate unnecessary computation during operation of the lower level GA, which handles decision variables for the lower level DM. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we propose comparisons with existing methods by performing numerical experiments to verify both the accuracy of the solution and the time required for the computation.
Channel Identification Using Chaos for an Uplink/Downlink Multicarrier Code Division Multiple Access System
Authors: Frikel Miloud , Safi Said , Targui Boubekeur , M’Saad Mohammad
Published: April 2024

A scheme of chaotic spreading sequence for multicarrier code division multiple access system (MC-CDMA) is proposed to estimate the transmission channel. This system spreads spectrum and identifies the channel, simultaneously. The proposed scheme uses a chaotic sequence generated by a logistic map as a training signal and estimate channel parameters according to dynamics of the chaotic sequence. Encoding data by chaotic sequences is first built and then the orthogonal codes are used to spread the encrypted data for multiusers scheme. At the reception, first the channel parameters are identified using a training chaotic sequence in order to equalize the received data, and then the encrypted information is decoded for the desired user. The studies reveal that the proposed system (chaos plus orthogonal codes) significantly outperforms the Walsh- Hadamard code spreading in MC-CDMA system. The performance of the systemis considered in the multiuser case by means of simulation. The simulation result shows that the proposed chaotic code spreading approach for channel identification achieves significant improvement in the channel identification, comparing to using others training sequence or the least square method.

Authors: Akleylek Sedat , Kırlar Barıs ̧ B ̈ulent , Sever Omer , Y ̈uce Zaliha
Published: April 2024

In this paper, we propose a new and efficient short signature scheme from the bilinear pairings. Our scheme is constructed by bilinear inverse-square Diffie-Hellman problem (BISDHP) and does not require any special hash function. The exact security proofs are also explained in the random Oracle model. We give the implementation and comparison results of our proposed signature scheme with the signature scheme proposed by Boneh, Lynn, Shacham (BLS) and Zhang, Safavi, Susilo (ZSS). Furthermore, we use this signature scheme to construct a ring signature scheme.

Published: April 2024

This paper shortly describes the IP QoS System which offers strict quality of service (QoS) guarantees in IP-based networks and supports a number of, so called, classes of services. Such solution requires to implement in the network a set of QoS mechanisms and algorithm working on packet, connection request and provisioning levels. Furthermore, we require signaling system for informing the network about new connection request and network resource allocation capabilities for providing required resources to given connection. The IP QoS System is based on the next generation networks (NGN) and differentiated services (DiffServ) architectures and, at least for now, it is designed for single domain only.

Authors: Chudzian Cezary , Granat Janusz , Klimasara Edward , Sobieszek Jarosław , Wierzbicki Andrzej P.
Published: April 2024

The paper starts with a discussion of the concept of knowledge engineering, in particular ontological engineering. Consequently, the paper presents assumptions accepted as a basis for a group research on a radically personalized system of ontological knowledge mining, relying on the perspective of human centered computing and combining ontological concepts of the user with an ontology resulting from an automatic classification of a given set of textual data. The paper presents a pilot system PrOnto that supports research work in two aspects: searching for information interesting for a user according to her/his personalized ontological profile, and supporting research cooperation in a group of users (Virtual Research Community) according, e.g., to a comparison of such personalized ontological profiles. The paper concludes with suggestions concerning diverse applications of ontological engineering tools and future work.

Authors: Mohapatra Baibaswata , Nagaria Rajendra K. , Tiwari Sudarshan
Published: April 2024

In this paper we propose new simple integer linear programs (ILPs) formulations for minimizing capacity (in wavelength link) utilization in survivable WDM network. The study examines the performance of shared based protection schemes, such as path protection scheme and link protection scheme under single fiber failure. The numerical results obtained show a reduction in capacity utilization using random traffic compared to the reported ILP formulation. We also present the results using Poisson’s traffic to identify the frequently used links for the widely used NSF network. The proposed work not only reduces the wavelength consumption in different traffic scenarios but also efficient in terms of simulation time.

Published: April 2024

Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of Biling Weitong Granules combined with oryz-aspergillus enzyme and pancreatin tablets on patients with reflux esophagitis with functional dyspepsia. Methods: Sixty patients diagnosed with reflux esophagitis with functional dyspepsia who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University between June 2020 and June 2023 were selected and divided into two groups: the control group and the observation group, each consisting of 30 cases. The control group received oryz-aspergillus enzyme and pancreatin tablets only, while the observation group received Biling Weitong Granules in addition to the tablets. The clinical efficacy, Chinese medicine syndrome points, esophageal kinetic indexes, gastrointestinal hormone levels, and therapeutic safety of both groups were evaluated. Results: The total efficiency of the observation group reached 93.33%, significantly higher than the 73.33% of the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, patients in the observation group exhibited significantly lower scores for Chinese medicine symptoms such as early satiety, belching, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the observation group showed significantly higher upper esophageal sphincter pressure, lower esophageal sphincter pressure, and distal esophageal contraction scores compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Additionally, levels of gastric motility hormone, vasoactive intestinal peptide, and gastrin were significantly higher in the observation group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Throughout the treatment period, there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups, indicating comparable safety of the two treatment modalities (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The combination of Biling Weitong Granules with oryz-aspergillus enzyme and pancreatin tablets demonstrates significant efficacy in the treatment of reflux esophagitis with functional dyspepsia, with a better safety profile. This finding warrants further clinical promotion.

O objetivo deste estudo é descrever implantes para implante imediato após exodontia, tendo como referência a literatura de artigos e publicações científicas que visam discutir os principais aspectos do tema em questão, indicações e contraindicações, aplicações práticas, vantagens e desvantagens, as principais vantagens desse tipo de procedimento são menor reabsorção óssea, menor tempo de cicatrização e restauração da estética e funcionalidade já na primeira cirurgia. As principais desvantagens incluem erros no posicionamento do implante, dificuldade no fechamento primário devido à falta de tecido mole e necessidade de grande mucosa queratinosa na área estética. As extrações resultam em perda óssea indesejada e afetam a mastigação, função e a estética. O periodonto também sofre alguns danos, sendo o mais notável a perda de importantes papilas interdentais nos dentes anteriores, onde as exigências estéticas são maiores. Nestes casos, o implante imediato é cada vez mais utilizado e pode ser uma solução eficaz, mas nem sempre isso é possível e cada caso deve ser cuidadosamente avaliado.

O osso é um tecido mineralizado e vascularizado que serve de suporte e sustentação, quando lesado, possui uma capacidade de reparo e regeneração única, mas se tratando de uma lesão extensa esse tecido não consegue se regenerar por completo. Na área odontológica, a perda óssea seja por traumas, extrações dentárias, infecções e deformidades iatrogênicas ou congênitas, traz como consequência a impossibilidade de reabilitação devido alterações na reabsorção e na formação óssea, causando deficiência nos alvéolos e defeitos na altura e na espessura dos processos maxilomandibulares, dificultando a adaptação com prótese e a instalação de implantes. Os enxertos ósseos são descritos na literatura como uma boa alternativa para restabelecimento da função e estética do paciente, podendo ser de origem sintética, natural ou combinações destes. Os enxertos apresentam características biológicas específicas, vantagens e desvantagens, podendo ser classificados em: autógeno, retirado e transplantado no próprio paciente, apresentando áreas doadoras intra e extrabucais, homógeno retirado de outra pessoa da mesma espécie, heterógeno obtido de espécie diferente e aloplásticos que é produzido em laboratórios. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar os principais tipos de enxertos ósseos aplicados atualmente na odontologia para reconstruções maxilomandibulares. O trabalho foi elaborado por meio de uma revisão de literatura narrativa, com abordagem qualitativa e foram utilizados artigos publicados no período de 2014 até 2022, utilizando bases de dados obtidos das bibliotecas virtuais Google Acadêmico, Scielo e PubMed. Ao optar pelo uso de enxertos, é crucial levar em consideração todas essas características biológicas, vantagens, desvantagens e limitações. Cada situação deve ser analisada de forma individual, levando em conta a extensão da lesão e as necessidades de cada paciente. Um planejamento meticuloso e a colaboração interdisciplinar entre cirurgiões dentistas e outros profissionais de saúde são essenciais para obter resultados satisfatórios e reduzir ao mínimo as complicações.

Authors: Amar P Garg , Shikha Sharma
Published: April 2024

Millets are physiologically and therapeutically healthy with high nutritious value and are in rising demand in emerging markets like India, China, Africa, and other developing countries including the Western world. Germinated Millets have high digestibility and are used as healthy food for children’s growth and development. Climate change resilience technology, high nutritional value, and the announcement of the year 2023 as “International Millet Year” have made it very popular. Bakery items based on Millet, particularly cookies, are becoming more popular in both urban and rural areas. Jaggery is raw sugar prepared from sugarcane juice and is considered superior to white sugar. It offers numerous nutritional and therapeutic benefits, including anti-carcinogenic with antitoxic actions. Hence, this study aimed to prepare healthy food items with germinated finger and pearl Millets for better nutritional quality that are attracting the attention of health-conscious people on a worldwide scale. Cookies made from blends of germinated wheat flour (GWF), germinated finger millet flour (GFMF), and germinated pearl millet flour (GPMF) were examined for their physicochemical qualities, in vitro digestibility, antioxidant activity, and overall acceptability by consumers. In vitro protein digestibility (62.24-82.34%), starch digestibility (47.48-62.41%), total phenolic content (11.45–49.12 mg GAE/100 g), and antioxidant activities significantly increased as the proportion of GFMF and GPMF flour increased in the cookie samples, whereas total starch, dietary fiber, carbohydrate, and phytic acid decreased. The physical qualities of the cookies were also improved by the addition of GFMF and GPMF flours. Cookies with acceptable sensory properties, including taste, aroma, appearance, mouthfeel, crispiness, and overall acceptability, were produced by blending 60% GWF, 20% GFMF, and 20% GPMF (T2). This study demonstrated that GFMF and GPMF flour blends may be used as functional ingredients to create superior goods.

Authors: Ghiasi Reza , Abdoli Mozhdeh
Published: April 2024

The electronic structure and properties of the rhodathiabenzene and rhodaoxabenzne isomers have been investigated using the hybrid density functional mpw1pw91 theory. The energetic aspect shows that I-isomer is the most stable isomer. Molecular orbital analysis shows linear correlation between hardness and anisotropic polarizability values of rhodaoxabenzene isomers. These calculations indicate a linear relation between ΣBOR (sum of Wiberg indices in ring) and relative energy for rhodathiabenzene. The atoms in molecule analysis indicates a correlation between r(Rh-X; X=C, S, P, O) bonds and the electron density of bond critical point in all species.
On the Antioxidant Activity of the Ortho and Meta Substituted Daidzein Derivatives in the Gas Phase and Solvent Environment
Authors: Najafi Meysam
Published: April 2024

The antioxidant activities of substituted Daidzein derivatives have been investigated. The electron withdrawing substituents increase the bond dissociation enthalpy, ionization potential, while electron donating groups cause a rise in the proton affinity. The Daidzein derivatives with the lowest bond dissociation enthalpy, ionization potential and proton affinity values were identified as the compounds with high antioxidant activity. The Daidzein derivatives can process their protective role via hydrogen atom transfer and sequential proton loss electron transfer mechanism in gas phase and solvent, respectively.

Electron transfer properties of the haem (FeIII/FeII) redox center, in human haemoglobin molecules, were investigated, in vitro, on glass/tin-doped indium oxide electrodes. The total surface concentration of electrochemically active haemoglobin molecules corres-ponded to a single protein monolayer. In addition, anodic and cathodic peak currents changed in direct proportion with the scan rate, sugges-ting a surface-controlled electrode process.
El Instituto de Estudios de la Sociedad, sus intelectuales y la revista Punto y Coma: una crítica a la derecha economicista y a la nueva izquierda en Chile
Authors: Morales Martín Juan Jesús , Videla Rocha Martín Alfonso
Published: April 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es examinar las ideas que las y los intelectuales del Instituto de Estudios de la Sociedad difunden en la revista Punto y coma, publicación de este think tank. Encabezado por figuras intelectuales como Claudio Alvarado, Josefina Araos, Daniel Mansuy o Pablo Ortúzar, este centro de pensamiento ha destacado por sus intervenciones públicas y por renovar los debates actuales de la derecha chilena. De esta forma, nos detendremos en la revista Punto y coma, cuyo primer número se publicó en marzo de 2019, y que desde entonces se ha convertido en un órgano expresivo de las ideas de este grupo de intelectuales con relación a los recientes acontecimientos históricos, sociales y políticos acontecidos en el país. El abordaje teórico dialoga con la sociología de los intelectuales y con la sociología de las intervenciones intelectuales. Respecto a la metodología, se analizan los ocho números de esta revista institucional, en donde se hace un repaso por los principales lineamientos que este think tank busca posicionar en la batalla cultural de las ideas. Además, se utilizan entrevistas semi-estructuradas. Se concluye que este centro de pensamiento, en su crítica a la derecha economicista y a la nueva izquierda, propone un conservadurismo cultural limitado por la realidad social.

Entender el desarrollo de la industria forestal en el centro-sur de Chile y las consecuencias territoriales, socioambientales y económicas de esta actividad, es una temática de interés creciente. La plantación de especies arbóreas exóticas de rápido crecimiento se ha convertido en el nicho fundamental para el desarrollo del negocio forestal, disminuyendo la cobertura de bosque nativo. Analizar la legislación forestal chilena que ha favorecido este proceso, introduciendo especies exóticas en la definición de lo que se entenderá por “bosque”, es el objetivo de este trabajo. Buscamos comprender como el concepto de “bosque” ha sido utilizado en la legislación forestal chilena, evidenciando racionalidades, disputas y tensiones en sus expresiones normativas, generando cambios profundos en el territorio Centro-Sur chileno.
Economic and social costs of flood disasters in Nigeria: Implications for sustainable national development

Published: April 2024

Nigeria is susceptible to flood disasters, resulting in significant economic and social costs due to natural and human factors. This paper examines the implications of flood disasters on Nigeria's sustainable national development by identifying drivers, estimating costs, analyzing social dimensions, and discussing policy options. The methodology this paper adopted relied on a range of secondary sources such as government reports, academic studies, and media sources which were analyzed through qualitative methods of content and thematic analysis. The study revealed that flood disasters caused economic losses, including damage to infrastructure, loss of income, and reduced agricultural production, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. Effective disaster risk management requires an integrated approach, including investments in flood risk infrastructure, coordination among government levels, and engaging local communities to build disaster reduction capacity. The paper highlights the need for Nigeria to mainstream disaster risk reduction into national development planning for sustainable development.

Background: The risk factors associated with mortality in critically ill patients have been the subject of numerous studies. However, a considerable amount of variation is evident when one considers the dispersion of patients, the geographical spread, and the classification of healthcare establishments. Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare potential risk factors between Survivors and Non-Survivors, including demographics, anthropometrics, kidney and liver indices, complete blood counts, and biochemical assays. Patients whose condition is critical. Methods: An ICU retrospective investigation was conducted in Jordan, where critically ill patients with surgical and medical conditions were examined. Using the Electronic Medical Record System (Hakeem), the study analysed data and classified patients into two cohorts according to their survival status. Demographic information, clinical characteristics, insulin administration rate, blood glucose levels, dosing schedules for vasopressors, and the burden of comorbidities were all included in the data. The research was granted approval by the Institutional Review Board committee of the Royal Medical Services, Jordan. Results: The research examined the male-to-female ratios among COVID-19 patients and classified them into six distinct age groups. A significant proportion of critical patients, ranging in age from 50 to 60, exhibited elevated corrected sodium levels and a diminished normontraemia status. Higher albumin levels and mean arterial pressures were associated with survivors, whereas a greater proportion of non-survivors were underweight and had a low BMI. A normal temperature was observed in the majority of critically ill patients, whereas non-survivors exhibited elevated fractional blood glucose levels and estimated creatinine clearances. The research emphasises the significance of treatment outcomes and patient demographics. Conclusion: SI may be a more accurate prognostic indicator than non-septic patients due to the effect of norepinephrine, a vasopressor, on heart rate and systolic blood pressure, which may account for the difference in SI values between the two groups.
An analysis of order utilization and overall costs secondary to an extended length of stay in hospitalized patients pending discharge to long term care facilities during the peak of Omicron

Published: April 2024

During the covid pandemic there was an influx of patients admitted to hospitals worldwide. This resulted in a presumptive overuse of resources, increased utilization costs, and decrease in hospital bed availability. This study focuses on patients admitted with a positive covid test, who required transfer to a long-term health facility after the acuity of their symptoms no longer required hospitalization but necessitated an extended length of stay due to acceptance into these facilities. Such facilities included: alternative living facility, skilled nursing facility, psychiatric institutions, or hospice. Wherein these facilities required a negative Covid PCR test or required a certain time frame to have elapsed after a positive test prior to accepting or recovering a patient. This study utilized patient records from Keralty Hospital, with admission during the 2022 peak of Omicron (January 31, 2022- February 13, 2022). Patient inclusion criteria was if they had a positive covid test on admission and experienced an extended length of stay over 2 days pending discharge to a long-term care facility. A quantitative/qualitative analysis was conducted of all orders placed subsequent to the first discharge order, and the number of additional days spent at the hospital. Correlations regarding total bed cost, and total overall, were then calculated using single tailed p values utilizing Prism 9 GraphPad software. Our research findings indicate there was a significant correlation between the number of extended hospitalization days and total bed costs but no correlation in the total overall costs or initial length of stay for each patient.

U radu se prikazuju različite vrste epidemija zaraznih bolesti, a posebno kuge koja je u više navrata prodrla na područje Habsburške Monarhije. Kako bi se zaštitila bečka prijestolnica i drugi dijelovi Carevine, od osobite je važnosti bila Slavonija kao pogranična regija koja je bila ključna u obrani od zaraznih bolesti što su dolazile iz Osmanskog Carstva. Zbog toga se u radu osobita pozornost posvećuje gradskim sanitarnim vijećima i novoosnovanim austrijskim i ugarskim zdravstvenim vijećima. U nastavku teksta objašnjavaju se važnost i uloga (stalnog) sanitarnog kordona te karantenskih jedinica, odnosno kontumaca i raštela. Naposljetku se navode odluke proizašle iz arhivskoga fonda Poglavarstvo Slobodnog i kraljevskog grada Osijeka iz kojih se saznaje kako je Ugarsko namjesničko vijeće zajedno s gradskim vlastima u Slavoniji reguliralo zarazne bolesti.
