Published: June 2022

In this article, we highlight comprehensive and up-to-date information on the analysis of the central public administration that addresses how the authorities, institutions and central public entities with responsibilities in preventing and combating the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in Romania have used public funds allocated in this purpose.

Romania has accepted the decrease of budget revenues, through a series of fiscal measures and by diminishing the income-generating economic activities. The budgets of some main authorizing officers with special attributions during the state of emergency were supplemented, namely: the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection; Ministry of Health; Ministry of Public Finance; Ministry of Public Works, Development and Administration; Ministry of Interior; Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure and Communications; Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development; Public ministry; National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority; Special Telecommunications Service; Romanian Information Service; Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Romanian Academy. In order to implement measures to prevent and combat the pandemic, as well as to manage the state of emergency, a series of resources were mobilized, in addition to donations and sponsorships, received by public institutions from the central public administration during the state of emergency. At the same time, for the local government component, the data are structured in such a way as to reflect the tasks and tasks of local authorities in preventing and combating the pandemic, but also the findings on resource management used for this purpose, segmented into the following areas: medical assistance (medical equipment, medicines, sanitary materials, salary rights, etc.); expenses incurred in establishing the quarantine; disinfection costs imposed by measures to prevent and combat the epidemic; Other expenditure due to the need to take measures to prevent and combat the epidemic. The Government of Romania has adopted an emergency ordinance for the organization and conduct of public information campaigns in the context of the epidemiological situation caused by the spread of COVID-19, in order to raise awareness of the risks of disease and increase voluntary compliance with health and social regulations imposed by competent authorities, in order to limit the spread of the virus after the end of the state of emergency. Audiovisual and printed materials that will be broadcast in public information campaigns, such as audio and video spots, online banners, print mock-ups, mock-ups for billboards, will be created and produced centrally by a creative structure in which specific professional associations can delegate members. from several volunteer and / or paid agencies.

Published: June 2022

It is the basis of all types of Fine Arts. The artist is based on painting, regardless of which of the types of Fine Arts he creates. He expresses his observations, his research on the compositions of the great works, first with the first lines in the pen. As for the creation of works of art, these executed drawings serve as an auxiliary resource to the artist. The artist begins the creation of this or that picture with a pencil. After that, this work of art gives the viewer an aesthetic pleasure through a palette of colors. In other words, without pencil drawing, no artist can make his work mature. Realistic painting teaches to master the basics, methods and skills of drawing, to know the sequence in describing and to be able to use various illustrative tools. Learning the basics of drawing, it is worth noting that the drawing is built on the principle of drawing in stages, depending on the thing itself. In this article, the lessons of Fine Arts give students an idea and feedback on the methods of teaching realistic images of existence.

Published: June 2022

The trans-esterification processes of refined waste groundnut oil (WGO) and sunflower oil (WSO) was optimized using calcium oxide produced from three different animal bones after incineration and characterization. The bone samples were crushed and calcined at 600 oC into fine powders with particulate dimension size of 49 nm. The calcined bones such as, calcined fish bone (CFB), calcine cow bone (CCB), and calcined chicken bone (CCHB) were characterized using the transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Brunnar Emmet Teller (BET), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques.The powdered calcium oxide (CaO) was obtained from the waste animal bones to produced methyl ester (FAMEs). The effect of the catalyst dosage ratio on the physicochemical properties such as, yield, specific gravity, density, kinematic viscosity, and acid values of the produced biodiesel were studied and evaluated. The analysis of results using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS software) showed maximum catalyst dosage and yield for groundnut-based biodiesel (GNB) with CCB at 3.0 wt.% with yield 95.0 % followed by sunflower based biodiesel (SFB) with CCB 4.0 wt. % with yield 95.0 %. The best optimal trans-esterification reaction conditions were a 1:6 molar ratio of oil to methanol, 1 hour reaction period, a 333 K reaction temperature, stirring rate of 1000 rpm, and 3-4 wt. % CaO catalyst loading. This study revealed that waste cooking oils and the obtained calcium oxide were good sources of raw materials that canenhance optimal production of biodiesel that meet the American standards for testing materials ASTM requirements.

Published: June 2022

In this study, Chloride doped Tellurium Compound (PVC/Te) was synthesized chemically in an alkaline medium under nitrogen to remove and avoid any oxidation. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques are used to characterize it. XRD pattern showed a more degree of crystallinity for PVC/Te compared with behaviour for pure PVC. The molecules are regularly arranged for the effect by tellurium-Carbon bonds. Moreover, the average crystallite size of 40.47nm is obtained from Deby-Scherrer equation calculations. The ratio of Te in PVC/Te according to EDX is 16% weight of Tellurium. The FESEM technique revealed that PVC/Te uniform decreased as the electron beam energy increased. In addition, TGA results were used to evaluate the thermal stability of compounds, where the Polyvinyl Chloride Doped Tellurium Compound was more thermal stable than pure PVC.

Authors: Harsh Vardhan  , Harasis Singh  , Amit Mithal
Published: June 2022

Diabetes is a global health epidemic. It increases the danger of cardiovascular disease by fourfold in women and around twice in men. ‘Diabetes’ is an umbrella term for a number of different subtypes of the disease. The most common are Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Compared to men, women are also at a greater risk of retinopathy and neuropathy from diabetes. Pregnancy may worsen pre-existing conditions and lead to significant blindness. It also aggravates pre-existing kidney diseases. Elderly women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and end-stage renal disease have a significantly higher risk of death than men with similar diseases. Women with diabetes have higher chances of suffering a stroke in comparison to women without it. Women are also more likely to develop depression compared to men. The modeling of support vector machines may additionally be a promising classification technique for identifying women among the population with common diseases like polygenic disorder and pre-diabetes. We use different algorithms for classification, XGBoost based on SVM with GridSearchCV predict results with 83.5% accuracy.
Analytical Study of the Composite Steel Structure under the Influence of Seismic Circumstances- A Review
Authors: Harish R D  , S A Vengadesh Subramanian
Published: June 2022

Reinforced concrete structures are the most often utilized structures in India, owing to their ease of construction and affordability, particularly for low-rise residential buildings. Due to variations in factors such as stiffness, an increase in dead loads, span limitation in both directions, and costly formwork, R.C.C structures are no longer convenient or cost-effective for medium and high-rise buildings. High-rise building design has grown more difficult for designers because of the difficulty in achieving an efficient and cost-effective design. Furthermore, wind and seismic characteristics must be considered while designing high-rise structures. Despite the challenges in making steel, steel's improved performance in high-rise structures helps to overcome the aforementioned issues. Because of its complexity in analysis and design, many structural engineers are reluctant to use steel. From previous studies, the use of steel structural systems makes the buildings more durable, more cost-effective, and better able to withstand earthquakes. This paper discusses the review association of execution of the unsymmetrical (Trapezoidal) model, R.C.C., and steelworks under the influence of wind and seismic circumstances.

This review explain process what is used for medical coding in Pharmacovigilance and, in brief, most commonly used medical dictionary MedDRA. The purpose of this paper is a modest contribution to easier and more successful understanding of the encoding process in clinical data management in the ﬁeld of Pharmacovigilance. There may be severe result if there is miscategorise of adverse events in clinical trials. For the purpose of decreasing the scope for interpretation several steps are involved such as from subject adverse event experience to presentation in tablets should be possibly standardised. MedDRA is a predefined dictionary where adverse events, signs, symptoms, diseases and diagnosis and statistical analysis are categorized. Coding is a process in which the universal dictionary is which is required for translating the event which is reported by the investigator into a standard term. For the hunt for safety signal frequencies and incidences of adverse events can be scrutinized once the adverse events have been accurately coded5.

Authors: Jainabi Z. Sheikh  , Nilesh N. Moon  , Arsalan Haque N. Ansari  , Prof. M Nematullah Nasim
Published: June 2022

In an evaporative cooling system, hot air from outside is forced through wet cooling pads by means of a motor-driven fan. The cooling pads are moistened continuously by a water pump that delivers water to it. The cooled down air is then blown into the building. Evaporative coolers lower the temperature of air using the principle of evaporative cooling. Evaporative cooling is the addition of water vapour into air, which causes a lowering of temperature of the air. The energy needed to evaporate the water is taken from the surrounding air in the form of sensible heat, which affects the temperature of the air, and convert it into latent heat. In Evaporative cooler, pads consist of excelsior (wood wool) inside containment net. Padding media plays a large part in cooling efficiency and water consumption. The purpose of this paper is to make an evaporative desert cooler more efficient and maintenance free, by making wood wool pad slide. They are assembled in such a manner that it can slide through u-channel and the top portion is duct which can also be placed or removed easily.
Partial Fraction Expansion of Meromorphic Maps
Authors: Samuel Tarkar Swem
Published: June 2022

Partial fraction expansion of a meromorphic function or map is a way of expressing it as an infinite series of rational functions and polynomials. This representation is particularly useful in the summation of series in mathematical analysis and has at its heart the Mittag-Leffler’s expansion theorem which holds for arbitrary domains. In this article, the Mittag-Leffler’s expansion theorem was used to obtain partial fraction expansions of the functions tan⁡z and coth⁡z which are meromorphic in the entire complex plane. The expansion of tan⁡z was then used to obtain the Laurent series for it where except for the odd coefficients, all the even coefficients in the series were shown to vanish identically. By comparing these coefficients with those of the well-known Maclaurin series for tan⁡z the exact sum of the odd terms in the important p-series ∑_(n=1)^∞▒1/n^p (p=2,4,6) were obtained in closed form and consequently, those of the series ∑_(n=1)^∞▒1/n^p (p=2,4,6) for all values of n. The partial fraction expansion of coth⁡z was also gainfully employed in finding the exact sum (in closed form) of the p-series ∑_(n=1)^∞▒1/n^2 and ∑_(n=-∞)^∞▒〖1/(n^2+z^2 ) (z≠ni,n=0,1,2,…)〗 to also show its usefulness in application. Finally, since closed form expressions were obtained for those series found from the partial fraction expansions of the functions considered in this article, we suggest that further research in this area should focus on the application of the Mittag-Leffler’s theorem to other meromorphic functions such as sec⁡z, cot⁡z etc to find similar results on the summation of series as done here.

Restoration versus transformative adaptation of community drinking water systems after Hurricanes Irma and Maria in Puerto Rico
Authors: Ruiz-Aviles, PhD Student Victor Dionel , Pijawka David , Manuel-Navarrete David , White Dave , Garcia Cecilio Ortiz
Published: June 2022

Hurricane Irma then Maria hit Puerto Rico in September 2017, exposing the heightened vulnerability of the island’s Critical Infrastructure Systems and Processes (CRISPs) and putting the resilience of some of the most impoverished communities to the test. Being one of these CRISPs, the island’s centralized drinking water system operated by the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority suffered heavy damage leaving over 200,000 people off-grid for months. Decentralized community aqueducts were also affected. However, most were able to sustain operations, with only 15 percent incapacitated during the first few weeks after Maria.Of the 205 community aqueducts serving low-income communities in the island’s central mountainous areas, only 35 failed. This article explores how and why these systems failed and what actions the communities should take to recover in a relatively short time in comparison to the centralized system. It defines the factors that account for the differences, the systems’ capacity to meet water quality requirements, and potentially transformative adaptations generated to face future disturbances. We were interested in understanding (a) how system capacity was affected by the restoration process, (b) if adaptation resulted in significant operational changes, and (c) community member engagement. Finally, we explored governance transformations that increased stakeholder’s participation, including community aqueducts representatives in decision-making and policy-making.Data collection included interviews with water system managers, government, and nongovernmental organization (NGO) representatives who regulate these systems or assisted communities in recovering their systems. We also surveyed water systems that had operational problems within the first 3 weeks. The data revealed a diversity of actions along the disaster cycle through which communities prepared for, restored, recovered, and cocreated transformative adaptations to their systems. Findings reflect that despite economic deficiencies and lack of emergency plans, many communities were able to improvise and restore their water systems soon after the disaster. As part of their post-disaster organization, communities increased their collaborative networks with governmental and NGOs to cocreate improvement projects to enhance resiliency. Adaptations included (1) increased community autonomy, (2) system redundancy, and (3) improved capacity to participate in government discussion forums related to their systems.

Trauma mitigation for the workforce: A conceptual framework applied in COVID-19 pandemic conditions
Authors: Shah, MD, MPH Siddharth Ashvin , Siu, MSW, LCSW Karla , Dangel, PhD Trever J.
Published: June 2022

The sudden and protracted emergency stemming from the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic presents potential exposures, or exacerbations, of psychological trauma to workforces. Organizationally significant traumatic stress warrants the trauma-informed attention of emergency managers wishing to protect the well-being of responders and prevent performance breakdowns.This study focuses on interventions that can be applied at the organizational level without the need for specially trained clinicians. We first provide a rapid review of design principles intended to provide safe, ethical, and efficacious interventions that utilize informational and social learning principles. Next, we present a conceptual framework, drawing from the disaster management and clinical trauma evidence base, targeted to build proactive workplace programs for trauma mitigation. Duty of care and shared responsibility are discussed as a way to balance obligations and burdens of operating in milieus characterized by psychological trauma. Assuming that clinically significant trauma is handled by established systems of mental healthcare, the five case studies in this study demonstrate how empirical findings support program elements to address subclinical trauma in emergency managers and responders across sectors.

Published: June 2022

Introduction

Spinal cord injury is a serious condition that has a profound impact on pulmonary functions and quality of life. Ergometer training is a form of fitness training that seems to influence cardiorespiratory fitness among young individuals. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of upper limb ergometry on pulmonary functions in thoracic spinal cord injury patients.

Methods

A randomised, parallel control trial was conducted by the lottery method. 44 patients (22 in each group), who had upper and lower thoracic spinal injuries, aged 25–45 years and of either sex were included. Patients were randomised into pro�gressive upper limb ergometer training (group A) and conventional therapy (group B), and training was continued for six weeks. Outcomes were measured by using a spirometer for pulmonary function tests, assessed at baseline and each week.

Results

A total of 44 participants were analysed in which the mean age in group A was (35.77 ± 5.58) years and in group B was (32.27 ± 6.85) years. Mann–Whitney U-test was used for intergroup comparison of baseline to end values of (FEV1, PEF and FVC). FEV1 was significantly improved post-intervention (p-value = 0.008). Post-training PEF was significantly improved in both groups (p-value = 0.001). FVC was also significantly improved (p-value = 0.003) at the end of the sixth week.

Conclusions

The current study reports that upper limb ergometry has positive effects on spirometry values, as indicated by the improvements in the FVC, FEV1, and PEF values and pulmonary functions in thoracic spinal cord injury patients.

Authors: Ji Nathan , Sun Yu
Published: June 2022

Media sources, primarily of the political variation, have a hastening grip on narratives that can easily be constructed using biased views and false information. Unfortunately, many people in modern society are unable to differentiate these false narratives from real events. Utilizing natural language processing, sentiment analysis, and various other computer science techniques, models can be generated to help users immediately detect bias and falsehoods in political media. The models created in this experiment were able to detect up to 70% accuracy on political bias and 73% accuracy on falsehoods by utilizing datasets from a variety of collections of both political media and other mediums of information. Overall, the models were successful as the standard for most natural language processing models achieved only about 75% accuracy.
AI_Birder: An Intelligent Mobile Application to Automate Bird Classification using Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning
Authors: Tian Charles , Sun Yu
Published: June 2022

Birds are everywhere around us and are easy to spot. However, for many beginner birders, identifying the birds is a hard task [8]. There are many apps that help the birder to identify the birds, but they are often too complicated and require good internet to give a result. A better app is needed so that birders can identify birds while not depending on internet connection. My app, AI_Bider, is mainly built in android studio using flutter and firebase, and the AI engine is coded with TensorFlow and trained with images from the internet [9]. To test my AI engine, I made six different prototypes, each having a different number of times that the code will train from the dataset of pictures. I then selected 5 birds that are in my dataset and found 5 pictures on the internet for each of them, which I then uploaded to the app. My app will then give me 3 bird species that most closely resemble the image, as well as the app’s confidence in its choices, which are listed as percentages. I recorded down the percentages of accuracy for each picture. After taking the average percentage of all the models, I selected the most successful model, which had an average percent of accuracy of 79%.

Authors: Cao Zhanhao
Published: June 2022

Through the increase in the popularity of online reading, many people rely on online dictionaries to further understand the text [1]. However, looking up a word manually is a great inconvenience as well as a form of distraction [2]. This paper develops a chrome extension to automatically detect the difficult words for each user, and provide the words’ associated definition with a mouse hover. The chrome extension can be customized by adding and removing personal difficult words and personal easy words [3]. Also, the chrome extension offers a deeper level of analytic, including the system analyzing part of speech of the world, to further understand the definition of a selected word or sentence. The chrome extension is applied to a school/work setting in order to improve the working efficiency by providing a simple model to analyze the word definition; it is also useful for casual reading, especially to those that aren’t fluent in English. Following the strict SDLC model, the end of the testing stage reflects that most of the users gave positive feedback to the chrome extension with most of the comments centered around convenience and accuracy [4]. Through alpha testing and a small sample of beta testing, the Chrome extension presents productivity improvement on difficult texts.

Authors: Shan Wei Jarrett Yeo , Chai Kiat Yeo
Published: June 2022

The potential of machine learning has sustained the interest of both academia and industry in stock market prediction over the past decade. This paper aims to integrate modern techniques such as Gradient Boosting Machines (GBMs) into a novel ensemble called CalixBoost which is a resource-efficient and accurate stock index predictor. Data comprising macro-economic metrics and technical financial indicators, as well as sentiment analysis of social media using a simple and fast but effective rule-based model are used in this paper. Other techniques include model tuning with Bayesian Optimization, temporal consistency analysis for invariant feature selection over random trial-and-error, feature importance and inter-feature relationships analysis using a unified game theory approach using Shapley values. Lastly, the model will be evaluated using a novel holdout method, viz. on two separate test datasets whose datapoints are collected under (i) normal economic activity and (ii) during a black swan (financial downturn). The experimental results show that our model outperforms previous methods and can achieve a good prediction performance with 84.88% accuracy, 0.0956 RMSE, 0.0573 MAE and 4.19% MAPE.
Enhancing Networking Cipher Algorithms with Natural Language
Authors: E. Ortega John
Published: June 2022

This work provides a survey of several networking cipher algorithms and proposes a method for integrating natural language processing (NLP) as a protective agent for them. Two main proposals are covered for the use of NLP in networking. First, NLP is considered as the weakest link in a networking encryption model; and, second, as a hefty deterrent when combined as an extra layer over what could be considered a strong type of encryption -- the stream cipher. This paper summarizes how languages can be integrated into symmetric encryption as a way to assist in the encryption of vulnerable streams that may be found under attack due to the natural frequency distribution of letters or words in a local language stream.

Authors: Satty Ali , Babikir Ali Basher Abdullah
Published: June 2022

Dropout is a pervasive problem in longitudinal clinical trials, and it is the result mainly of non-responses due to individuals who leave the study and are therefore lost to follow-up. The current paper deals with incomplete longitudinal clinical trials data when there are dropout. Statistical methods that ignore the mechanism for dropouts are susceptible to biased inference. This article focuses on dropouts missing at random (MAR). The study demonstrates application and the performance of likelihood-based and inverse probability weighting (IPW) in handling dropout in longitudinal continuous responses. The main objective of this paper is to compare the performance of these methods under different dropout rates. Data from a study with individual heart rate as the outcome is used to investigate the performance of the considered methods. Based on this longitudinal clinical trial data, results from IPW will be compared with those obtained from likelihood-based analysis. The performance of these methods are compared in terms of bias and efficiency.

The objective of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is to provide reliable end-to-end delivery of data over unreliable networks. Over the past few years, the problem of congestion control has received widespread attention. Many authors have reported that the TCP interacts with the lower layers, but still it cannot predict route failures and network congestion. Their proposals involving the network layer suggest notifying the TCP sender about a routing failure, when the routing layer detects one. The issues discussed above, with the possibility of further avenues for improving the performance of TCP in multihop wireless networks, served as the motivation for this paper. This paper describes the efficient techniques in various layers to improve the performance of TCP over multihop wireless networks. This work analyses the performance of the proposed two types of cross layer flavors, namely the TCP-AL and TCP-WPAL. The cross layer interaction, TCP-WPAL produced better performance than the TCP-AL.

To completely meet the requirements of reliability design in the product designing, an axiom-based Design-in Reliability approach is proposed. In light of the axiomatic design principles, products are designed preliminarily to establish their functional requirements. According to these, functions preserving requirements are augmented, which constitute a Functional Requirement Preserving domain included in functional domain, and derives the parameterized solution for reliability design systematically. Subsequently, the design parameters are augmented and optimized to achieve the functions preserving requirements. Mapping model of the augmented functional domain and the physical domain is established. And a solutions evaluation approach based on Independence Axiom is proposed. Ultimately, via identifying the potential failure modes from the perspective of the disappearance or reduction of functions preserving capability, a control process is elaborated to mitigate the failure modes on the basis of independence axiom and logic decision in order for the reliability requirements to be implemented. Being exemplified by the design of a temperature sensor, the present study demonstrates that all approaches are feasible, efficient, and could be applied in real engineering scenarios.

Sealing reliability plays a very important role in the aviation field. This paper put forward a new sealing reliability analysis method which can be applicable to most of the static seals. For the long-term using rubber seals, it will emerge stress relaxation which may lead to sealing failure. So, it needs to define a stress relaxation factor, which will analyze the sealing reliability taking the stress relaxation into account. Then, set the O-ring as a case, it calculated the static sealing reliability of the O-ring in operating conditions. And it also analyzed the influence of design parameters on the sealing reliability. Finally we found: (1) When the design parameters is certain, the stress relaxation factor, variance and correlation coefficient of the random variables will make a big influence on the sealing reliability; (2) When the design parameters is not certain, the compression ratio and media pressure also have a big influence on the sealing reliability.
