From Tourist Destination to Tabernacle
Authors: Frank Regina
Published: September 2022

The author describes her personal experience and insights on Portugal as a German artist who has lived and worked worldwide. She observes the changes from her first arrival during the European Football Championship in 2004, the experience of the WebSummit and various exhibitions in Portuguese Museums, up to the COVID-19 confinement and reopening in 2022. She tells the story of 18 years of development of the country, its tourism and economy, the spiritual path, and also the “zen exercises” the community has and had to offer: getting lost in Lisbon, finding faith in Fatima, sanctuaries in Santarem, and tabernacles in Tomar, as Portugal became her literal port of the grail (Port-u-gal). From children to education, poetry, prose, science, food, art, and religion, she paints a picture from the view of a foreigner mingling with the Portuguese and the ex-pat community. Isolated in the countryside during COVID-19, she connected online with Portuguese artists and created new alliances.

Authors: Raza Ali , Ikram Muhammad , Qumar Usman , Rafiq Asma
Published: September 2022

Developing innovative technologies for the effective treatment of organic contaminants comprising agricultural wastes, industrial dyes, and chemicals is gaining extraordinary importance across the globe. In the last few years, photocatalytic degradation has become an effective and established route to eliminate these pollutants from aqueous solution relative to simple adsorption. 2D nanomaterials exhibit great potential as an effectual photocatalyst in degradation of contaminants, especially hybridization with other functional components due to wide-ranging band structures, sufficient active sites, and significant specific surface area. Herein, the unique hybridization of 2D nanomaterials with numerous functional species is reviewed comprehensively by highlighting their improved photocatalytic performances and remarkable environmentally friendly activity. The chapter outlines the mechanism of photocatalytic degradation to explore the advantages/disadvantages of regular 2D materials and discover the significance of developing hybrid 2D photocatalysts.
Metal Oxide-Cellulosic Nanocomposite for the Removal of Dyes From Wastewater
Authors: Bhandari Suneeta
Published: September 2022

Water is a vital component of life, and its availability is critical for all living things. Due to rising water demand, traditional water/wastewater treatment methods are inefficient in supplying adequate safe water. The leaching of harmful compounds into the process water is a problem with most commercial and chemically manufactured materials for water treatment. As a result of research into developing better materials that could achieve high efficiency without posing a health concern, non-toxic composite materials made of cellulose and metal oxides were investigated. Due to its great physical, chemical, and mechanical qualities, cellulose is one of the materials gaining popularity. Nanocomposites have been approved as a solution for water purification that avoids the issues associated with using simply metal oxides. The purpose of this study is to review the potential applications of cellulose integrated with metal oxides for wastewater treatment and harmful metal removal from dyes via industrial waste.

Authors: Das Ratnesh , Mishra Arunesh Kumar , Mishra Pratibha , Das Megha
Published: September 2022

Biopolymer-based nanocomposites, particularly chitosan, cellulose, alginate, starch, and carrageenan, are increasingly being employed as reinforcements for composite materials because they are biodegradable, recyclable, renewable, abundant, conveniently available, cost-effective, and non-abrasive to processing equipment. These biopolymer nanocomposite materials are also lightweight, stiff, and have good mechanical properties. Biopolymer nanocomposites have interfacial limitations because all nanocomposite biopolymers are hydrophilic. Water recycling has been made possible by biopolymer-based nanocomposite materials, which have a variety of applications for cleaning wastewater, making it a viable and cost-effective solution to water scarcity. The growing concern about heavy metal contamination has necessitated the development of new and better-suited sorbent materials for effective detoxification.
Framing Disability Inclusion
Authors: Nerren Jessica Block , Rivas Stephanie
Published: September 2022

Framing theory is essential to understanding how inclusion is seen and acted upon. It is a critical theoretical framework for this chapter and the book as a whole to understand when discussing reframing autism inclusion in praxis. Framing theory is a theory that sees the chaos in the world through frames that inform ideas, beliefs, and values. In order to know inclusion, framing theory can assist in guiding research and scholarly discussion about the concept, both in education and in communication alike. Framing theory is a theory which frames, meaning that framing theory describes a world where frames inform both perception and action reality.
Neurodivergence and Reading Skills in K12
Authors: Block Jessica
Published: September 2022

Rapid automatic naming (RAN) is commonly thought of as one of the best predictors of reading achievement when compared to phonological awareness and letter name knowledge. Early intensive RAN interventions may minimize the number of resources that will be needed later to remediate developing reading challenges. Schools may be able to reduce the likelihood of an individual developing a reading disability or minimize the effects of one already developed if identified and intervened early. RAN and word reading efficiency was found to improve during an effective RAN intervention. This chapter discusses the Block study and how it could be conducted for the benefit of students with individualized education plans (IEP) or with other qualifying educational eligibilities including autistic-like behavior.
Improving Accuracy of Assessment, Diagnosis, and Treatment Outcomes for Black Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Rockwell Denise , Sterling Danielle , Mello Melissa
Published: September 2022

While the prevalence of ASD is equivalent across racial demographics, there persists a significant difference in identifying developmental concerns and accurately diagnosing children from Black backgrounds as compared to their white peers. Research has identified a number of barriers to accurate diagnosis including inadequate screening, slow response to parent concerns, lack of awareness of symptoms, and misdiagnosis. This chapter will explore systematic factors such as socioeconomic inequities leading to lack of access to adequate clinical services, historical medical mistrust, racial bias within healthcare leading to improper diagnosis, and barriers to appropriate services and interventions for Black children with ASD. Additionally, a closer examination of the diagnostic criteria for ASD will be discussed alongside cultural factors that should be considered when interpreting the behavioral and developmental profile of the Black child.

Impact of COVID-19 on Health Informatics
Authors: Köse Aslı
Published: September 2022

The aim of this chapter is to evaluate the effects of COVID-19 on health informatics. In this direction, patient and contact tracing, diagnostic process, healthcare production, and a conceptual framework have been established through examples. Then, evaluations were made within the scope of health informatics in these processes. Digital contact tracing technologies have been used to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. Technological tools have been used to facilitate social isolation to prevent the spread of the virus during the pandemic. Artificial intelligence technologies have been used to improve disease detection rates and develop treatments during the COVID-19 process. Robots have been used for cleaning and food preparation in infected areas to minimize the spread of COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic should be used as a natural experiment to analyze the effects of the transition of business processes to digital spaces. The effects of digital health technologies should be considered in this process.
App Smashing to Bolster Preservice Teachers' Digital Teaching Repertoires
Authors: Froemming Cassie Y. , Fahrenbruck Mary L. , Rutledge David W.
Published: September 2022

This action research study examines preservice teachers' responses to a SAMR-focused App Smashing engagement created with suggestions from other technology studies with preservice teachers. In this study, the authors used qualitative methods to collect and analyze data from interviews, a pre- and post-App Smashing engagement survey, and digital artifacts. Findings revealed that some preservice teachers viewed the exploratory, independent nature of the engagement as beneficial to their learning. Yet most requested more step-by-step instructions and guidance than the authors initially thought preservice teachers would need. Results challenge the notion that preservice teachers are digital natives who prefer to learn about technology integration through “faster, less step-by-step” lessons. The results are a reminder that teacher educators need time to strategically design learning experiences to encourage preservice teachers to integrate technology into their instructional plans in meaningful ways.
The Impact of Oil Prices on Real Stock Returns
Authors: Filiz Baştürk Meryem
Published: September 2022

This study examines the impacts of oil shocks on real stock returns in Turkey by using the vector autoregressive model (VAR). It analyzes over the 2008:10-2018:04 period. The logic lying behind this periodization is to analyze the impacts of oil prices on real stock returns for the 2008 post-crisis period. According to the results obtained, real stock returns have a positive and a statistically insignificant response to oil price shocks at the beginning. This is inconsistent with the expectations of economic theory. This inconsistency has several reasons, but the flow of foreign portfolio investment to developing countries may be a decisive factor after the financial crisis of 2008. This flow of foreign investment may have had an impact on stock returns in developing countries such as Turkey, especially when the interest rates were lowered to almost zero in developed countries following the financial crisis of 2008.
Renewable Energy in the Framework of a Sustainable Urbanism
Authors: García García María Jesús Garcia
Published: September 2022

Urban environments, areas in which multiple activities developed by human beings are brought together, have a strong environmental impact. Therefore, in these areas, measures aimed at rational use of natural resources and efficient consumption of energy must be promoted. To this end, energy efficiency must also be accompanied by a policy of diversifying the sources used in energy production, which opens the door to renewable energy promotion and use. The much discussed energy efficiency cannot consist only of measures aimed at saving and containing demand, but also requires the regulation and management of supply that promotes the introduction of renewable energy sources, which is in turn clean energy given its low level of emissions into the atmosphere.
Joy Labs
Authors: Korstanje Maximiliano Emanuel , Zuccoli María Alejandra
Published: September 2022

The present case study brings reflection on the power of pleasure (joy) to better the classic education system. Whilst pleasure was overlooked as an instrument to make positive feedback in students for classic education, PANCOE (and the laboratory of pleasure) goes in the opposite direction. The laboratory of pleasure stimulates students´ skills and performance through the articulation of pleasurable experiences. The results notably show that those students who participated in PANCOE have better degrees than those who did not take part in the experiment. At the same time, the endorphins liberated by positive interactive communication paves the ways for the rise of pleasurable experiences which dispose from better academic performances. Originally PANCOE was designed to standardize the learning process of foreign students. The goal was chiefly oriented to retain the student reducing the academic desertion, which means the rate of students who fail to earn a degree.
Rural Entrepreneurship Skill Development Through Regenerative Tourism in Channapatna, Karnataka
Authors: Mitra Ananya
Published: September 2022

With the increasing popularity of the tourism industry, a significant rise and development of destination and managing crowds has always remained a challenge that contributed to global tourism costs rise and pressure on local resources. The concept of regenerative tourism focuses on promoting the concept of leaving behind something better than the present. Regenerative tourism supports the industry to be reborn and continuously renew itself avoiding human intervention. Regenerative tourism acknowledges co-existing natural and social environmental set-ups and is planned such that local land and people get back from whatever they have invested for tourism development. Channapatna, the toy town of Karnataka, may see a further glorious future if the concept of regenerative tourism can be applied in the region. The town lies in an already existing tourism circuit, and regenerative tourism would show new avenues of rural entrepreneurship opportunities. In lieu of this, the chapter discusses in detail the scope of skill development in the Channapatna region of Karnataka.

Authors: Wesam Khresat , Jraisat Ibrahim , Harahsheh Hend , Al Sarairah Jamilah , Hiyari Rawan , Al Drous Rafeed , Sha'ban Firas , Abdallat Anas , Alqroom Rami
Published: September 2022

Background:

Knee arthroscopic surgery is a commonly performed procedure for diagnosing and treating knee joint problems. This procedure can be achieved under various types of anesthesia, general; or by applying regional anesthesia or even local. Epidural anesthesia and peripheral nerve blockage have been utilized in short procedures and provided a shorter length of hospital stay than general anesthesia in many former articles; however, spinal anesthesia including bupivacaine infusion has also offered a shorter length of hospital stay compared to general anesthesia. While the literature has not compared optimal techniques for these valid options.

Aims:

This review was conducted to challenge the hypothesis: What would be of choice for local anesthesia agents (either epidural or spinal anesthesia) that would be comparable to short-acting general anesthesia agents in terms of patient satisfaction and discharge times?!

Setting and Design:

The review was conducted as a prospective, randomized study. Patients were randomized using a sealed envelope method to be selected to one anesthesia technique (general, epidural, or spinal anesthesia).

Materials and Methods:

During the period between January 2019 and December 2020, 198 patients underwent unilateral knee joint arthroscopy. Seventy-seven patients refused anesthesia randomization and opted for one option directly. One hundred and twenty-one patients were qualified for the final recruitment stage of this analysis to contribute to the anesthesia randomization and they were assigned into three groups.

Results:

Demographical analysis showed no significant differences between cohorts. No major surgical or anesthetic adverse effects were reported. Anesthesia reported satisfactory for incision among three groups. For regional anesthesia cohorts, sphincteric control (voiding) considered a mandatory parameter for discharge, was shorter in the epidural group compared to the spinal anesthesia cohort (154 ± 28 vs. 189 ± 47 min, P < 0.0013). Time to discharge for the three cohorts was also significantly shorter for general anesthesia and epidural cohorts as compared to spinal cohort (general, 106 ± 29 min; epidural, 90 ± 18 min; spinal, 151 ± 48 min, P < 0.003). A total of 114 patients stated that they would select the same anesthetic method over again.

Conclusion:

This review revealed that regional epidural anesthesia using 2-chloroprocaine and general anesthesia using short-acting agents were similarly successful in terms of perioperative conditions and duration of hospital stay in our center. Whereas spinal anesthesia using 10 mg of bupivacaine combined with fentanyl in the same setting lacked behind in terms of extended discharge time and showed a higher prevalence of adverse effects.
A retrospective cohort study of short-stay admissions to the medical intensive care unit
Authors: Pandit Pooja N. , Mallozzi Mark , Mohammed Rahed , McDonough Gregory , Treacy Taylor , Zahustecher Nathaniel , Yoo Erika J.
Published: September 2022

Background:

Little is known about the mortality and utilization outcomes of short-stay intensive care unit (ICU) patients who require <24 h of critical care. We aimed to define characteristics and outcomes of short-stay ICU patients whose need for ICU level-of-care is ≤24 h compared to nonshort-stay patients.

Methods:

Single-center retrospective cohort study of patients admitted to the medical ICU at an academic tertiary care center in 2019. Fisher's exact test or Chi-square for descriptive categorical variables, t-test for continuous variables, and Mann–Whitney two-sample test for length of stay (LOS) outcomes.

Results:

Of 819 patients, 206 (25.2%) were short-stay compared to 613 (74.8%) nonshort-stay. The severity of illness as measured by the Mortality Probability Model-III was significantly lower among short-stay compared to nonshort-stay patients (P = 0.0001). Most short-stay patients were admitted for hemodynamic monitoring not requiring vasoactive medications (77, 37.4%). Thirty-six (17.5%) of the short-stay cohort met Society of Critical Care Medicine's guidelines for ICU admission. Nonfull-ICU LOS, or time spent waiting for transfer out to a non-ICU bed, was similar between the two groups. Hospital mortality was lower among short-stay patients compared to nonshort-stay patients (P = 0.01).

Conclusions:

Despite their lower illness severity and fewer ICU-level care needs, short-stay patients spend an equally substantial amount of time occupying an ICU bed while waiting for a floor bed as nonshort-stay patients. Further investigation into the factors influencing ICU triage of these subacute patients and contributors to system inefficiencies prohibiting their timely transfer may improve ICU resource allocation, hospital throughput, and patient outcomes.
Conformal surface embeddings and extremal length
Authors: Kahn Jeremy , Pilgrim Kevin M. , Thurston Dylan P.
Published: September 2022

Given two Riemann surfaces with boundary and a homotopy class of topological embeddings between them, there is a conformal embedding in the homotopy class if and only if the extremal length of every simple closed multi-curve is decreased under the embedding. Furthermore, the homotopy class has a conformal embedding that misses an open disk if and only if extremal lengths are decreased by a definite ratio. This ratio remains bounded away from one under finite covers.
Existence and stability of strong solutions to the Abels–Garcke–Grün model in three dimensions
Authors: Giorgini Andrea
Published: September 2022

This work is devoted to the analysis of the strong solutions to the Abels–Garcke–Grün (AGG) model in three dimensions. First, we prove the existence of local-in-time strong solutions originating from an initial datum

(u_0, \phi_0)\in \mathbf{H}^{1}_{\sigma} \times H^2(\Omega)

such that

\mu_0 \in H^1(\Omega)

and

|\overline{\phi_0}|\leq 1

. For the subclass of initial data that are strictly separated from the pure phases, the corresponding strong solutions are locally unique. Finally, we show a stability estimate between the solutions to the AGG model and the model H. These results extend the analysis achieved by the author in 2021 from two-dimensional bounded domains to three-dimensional ones.

The strong homotopy structure of Poisson reduction
Authors: Esposito Chiara , Kraft Andreas , Schnitzer Jonas
Published: September 2022

In this paper, we propose a reduction scheme for multivector fields phrased in terms of

L_\infty

-morphisms. Using well-known geometric properties of the reduced manifolds, we perform a Taylor expansion of multivector fields, which allows us to build up a suitable deformation retract of differential graded Lie algebras (DGLAs). We first obtained an explicit formula for the

L_\infty

-projection and -inclusion of generic DGLA retracts. We then applied this formula to the deformation retract that we constructed in the case of multivector fields on reduced manifolds. This allows us to obtain the desired reduction

L_\infty

-morphism. Finally, we perform a comparison with other reduction procedures.
Einstein–Klein–Gordon spacetimes in the harmonic near-Minkowski regime
Authors: LeFloch Philippe G. , Ma Yue
Published: September 2022

We study the initial value problem for the Einstein–Klein–Gordon system and establish the global nonlinear stability of massive matter in the near-Minkowski regime when the initial geometry is a perturbation of an asymptotically flat, spacelike hypersurface in Minkowski spacetime and the metric enjoys the harmonic decay

1/r

(in terms of a suitable distance function

r

at spatial infinity). Our analysis encompasses matter fields that have small energy norm and solely enjoys a slow decay at spacelike infinity. Our proof is based on the Euclidean-hyperboloidal foliation method recently introduced by the authors, and distinguishes between the decay along asymptotically hyperbolic slices and the decay along asymptotically Euclidean slices. We carefully analyze the decay of metric components at the harmonic level

1/r

, especially the metric component in the direction of the light cone. In presence of such a slow-decaying matter field, we establish a global existence theory for the Einstein equations expressed as a coupled system of nonlinear wave and Klein–Gordon equations.
Battery Selection and Optimal Energy Management for a Range-Extended Electric Delivery Truck
Authors: Villani Manfredi , Shiledar Ankur , D'Arpino Matilde , Rizzoni Giorgio
Published: September 2022

Delivery trucks and vans represent a growing transportation segment which reflects the shift of consumers towards on-line shopping and on-demand delivery. Therefore, electrification of this class of vehicles is going to play a major role in the decarbonization of the transportation sector and in the transition to a sustainable mobility system. Hybrid electric vehicles can represent a medium-term solution and have gained an increasing share of the market in recent years. These vehicles include two power sources, typically an internal combustion engine and a battery, which gives more degrees of freedom when controlling the powertrain to satisfy the power request at the wheels. Components sizing and powertrain energy management are strongly coupled and can make a substantial impact on the final energy consumption of a hybrid vehicle. An optimal control problem can be formulated and solved off-line, to evaluate the most energy efficient utilization of fuel and battery energy for the specific vehicle design. These off-line solutions can be used as benchmarks to compare different architectures and design options, and rules can be derived from them to design on-line implementable heuristic control strategies. In this work a plug-in series architecture with a range-extender engine is considered for a Class 6 beverage delivery truck and the optimal control problem is solved using dynamic programming. To study the strong coupling that exists between components sizing and energy management a simulation design space exploration is performed with four different cell chemistries and three different battery pack sizes. A drive cycle with variable payload, which is representative of delivery operations, is developed and used as a test case. The results show how the selection of the cell chemistry and the constraints on the battery weight can affect the battery performance and the impact on the optimal energy management strategy.
Hydrogen/Diesel Combustion Analysis in a Single Cylinder Research Engine
Authors: Mancaruso Ezio , De Robbio Roberta , Vaglieco Bianca Maria
Published: September 2022

The application of an alternative fuel such as hydrogen to internal combustion engines is proving to be an effective and flexible solution for reducing fuel consumption and polluting emissions from engines.

An easy to use and immediate application solution is the dual fuel (DF) technology. It has the potential to offer significant improvements in carbon dioxide emissions from light compression ignition engines. The dual fuel concept (natural gas / diesel or hydrogen / diesel) represents a possible solution to reduce emissions from diesel engines by using low-carbon or carbon-free gaseous fuels as an alternative fuel. Moreover, DF combustion is a possible retrofit solution to current diesel engines by installing a PFI injector in the intake manifold while diesel is injected directly into the cylinder to ignite the premixed mixture.

In the present study, dual fuel operation has been investigated in a single cylinder research engine. The engine run at two engine speeds (1500 and 2000 rpm), and hydrogen has been injected in the intake manifold in front of the entrance of the tumble intake port. The aim of the study is to compare the DF hydrogen combustion with the DF methane combustion. Premixed ratio up to 92 and 83 has been realized with methane and hydrogen, respectively. In-cylinder combustion pressures and pollutant emissions have been analysed. Finally, cycle resolved optical diagnostics have been applied to detect visible and infrared images from the combustion chamber.

Authors: OZLU AKKUŞ Fatma , TAPKAN Canan , İBANOĞLU Müjde Can , CENGAVER Nagihan , YAPAR EYİ Elif Gül
Published: September 2022

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors for meconium-stained amniotic fluid in a low-risk pregnancy and to evaluate birth complications and neonatal outcomes in deliveries with meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF). Material and Methods: This prospective study was conducted between April 2015 and September 2015 at Ankara Zekai Tahir Burak Women’s Health Education and Research Hospital. 351 women with singleton pregnancies and cephalic position who had reached 37 weeks of gestation were included in the study. Women with known chronic systemic diseases, pregnancy complications, and previous uterine surgery were excluded. 151 cases with MSAF and 200 randomly selected control cases with clear amniotic fluid were included in this study. We compared the two groups in terms of maternal age, gravidity, parity, gestational age, intrapartum maternal fever, body mass index (BMI), duration of labor, cardiotocographic values (CTG), mode of delivery, neonatal outcomes, and admission to the neonatal intensive care unit. Results: In our study, meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) developed in 2.6% (4/151) of neonates with meconium staining at birth. Gestational age, intrapartum maternal fever and BMI were significantly increased in the MSAF group (p=0.003). The duration of the active phase of labor (cervical dilation from 6 cm to 10 cm) was similar in both groups, and the duration of the second phase of labor was longer in the MSAF group (p=0.002). MSAF was associated with an increased number of abnormal results in cardiotocographic examinations, birth complications, and neonatal outcome (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Deliveries with meconium-stained amniotic fluid are associated with increased morbidity; therefore, intrapartum examinations should be performed more frequently and carefully, and precautions should be taken during labor in collaboration with pediatricians to reduce potential adverse neonatal outcomes.

A Case of Yoga Prana Vidya Healing Treatment of an Endometriosis Female Patient: Successful Outcome of Normal Pregnancy and Child Birth
Authors:   Certified YPV healer and Trainer, V Ashwin
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Endometriosis is a difficult to diagnose condition, and chronic disease of the females associated with severe, debilitating pain during periods, sexual intercourse, bowel movements and/or urination, pelvic pain, abdominal bloating, nausea, fatigue, with likely consequential anxiety, depression and infertility. Several therapeutic options are available for patients which are time consuming and with varying results. This paper presents a case of Yoga Prana Vidya system healed patient, who achieved success overcoming endometriosis, conceived normally and delivered a healthy baby. Method: This is an in-depth case study going through patient’s full details before and through long- term YPV intervention, medical test reports and patient feedback. Results: The patient was given continued YPV healings over a period of 3 years and 8 months, from diagnosis to confirmed pregnancy, conceived normally without need of IVF. She delivered a healthy baby, and a follow up after 2 years confirmed that the mother had no pain, nor other health issues, and the baby too found healthy without any health issues. Conclusions: It is noted from this study that long-term application of YPV system protocols have worked well in eliminating endomtriosis, achieving natural pregnancy with trouble free delivery. With decades of experience, YPV system has been established as a no-drug no-touch and safe modality with holistic health of patients.There is a need for more research and awareness globally to ensure effective prevention, early diagnosis, and improved management of endometriosis.

Under the environment of mass-customization, valid samples for a specific target object become fewer and fewer. Thus, Transfer Learning (TL) is widely applied to those data-consuming Deep Learning (DL) and Machine Learning (ML) models to avoid recollecting high-volume training samples from scratch. However, TL-based methods used in fault diagnosis for mechanical rotating components are still in the infancy phase. Poor practicality and usability problems increase the total preparing time. Without online diagnosis, there might be more unknown risks during the preparing time of a TL method. To reduce the preparing time of existing TL techniques, this paper proposes a TL-based Gradual Improvement Scheme (TLGIS) to achieve a systematic online diagnosis of rotating components. TLGIS solves the problem through seamless interactions among five modules of Data Preprocessing (DP), Data Estimating (DE), Data Modeling (DM), Model Improving (MI), and Accuracy Checking, (AC). Via illustrative examples, TLGIS is demonstrated to be reliable and robust using deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) by two public bearing datasets from the Internet and two types of rotating wheel datasets from a practical CNC machine. In total, TLGIS only requires at least 80 samples and at most 250 samples divided into small-size batches to gradually and continuously fine-tune the model with an accuracy of 90% and 99%, respectively, instead of inputting a large-scale dataset all at once, which is unrealistic in a practical production scenario. Compared to conventional approaches, TLGIS efficiently saves at most 90% of preparing time.

This study was conducted in Kirkuk city during the period from October 2020 to March 2021. The study aims to study the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection among pregnant women and ewes. Toxoplasmosis is a common disease between humans and animals and diffused throughout the world by 30-60%, caused by a single-celled parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. Toxoplasmosis is a parasite disease that causes a variety of major health concerns in pregnant women. Miscarriages and congenital abnormalities in fetuses are caused by this condition. It may also affect the neurological system and the brain’s important functions. In Iraq, the prevalence of the Toxoplasma parasite in pregnant women and sheep was measured, and the association between the pathogen and abortion was investigated. According to the findings, the condition is prevalent in 51 percent of pregnant women and 41 percent of ewes. The findings revealed a link between the frequency of abortions in pregnant women and Toxoplasma gondii infection, with the greatest infection rate of 38 percent for women who had three abortions, whereas the highest risk of abortion in sheep was 43 percent for one abortion. The study also found that women between the ages of 25 and 40 are the most susceptible to infection, with a 40% infection rate, while the highest risk of infection in sheep was 58 percent for the age group 1-2. In addition, the results illustrated a relationship between sheep infection with Toxoplasma gondii and the presence of congenital malformations in aborted fetuses. In other words, the rate of infection among sheep that aborted deformed fetuses was 89.5%. The relation between the level of the hormone’s progesterone and oestrogen in infected women was studied. It was noted that the ratio of the two hormones was higher in those who were infected than in healthy women, where the proportion of progesterone was 20 mg/ml, while the proportion of estrogen was pg/ml 92.5.
