Denoising of MST RADAR Signal usingCWT and Overlapping Group Shrinkage
Authors: Et. al. P. Suresh Babu,
Published: April 2021

Existing algorithmsare generally denouncing the existence of clusters with large amplitude coefficients. The L1 norm as well as other distinct models of sparsity does not attract a cluster tendency (group sparsity). In the light of a minimisation of convex cost work fusing the blended norm, this work introduces the technique "overlapping group shrinking." The groups are completely overlapping in order to abstain from blocking relics. A basic minimization calculation, in light of progressive replacement, is inferred. A straightforward strategy for setting the regularization boundary, in view of constricting the noise to a predefined level, is portrayed in detail by combining OGS with one of the most powerful mathematical tool wavelet transforms. In fact, the CWT coefficients are processed by OGS to produce a noise-free signal. The CWT coefficients are also processed.The proposed approach is represented on MST RADAR signals, the denoised signals delivered by CWT combined with OGS are liberated from noise.

Authors: Et.al YeonHo Kim
Published: April 2021

Due to the increase in fine dust caused by deepening air pollution, interest in the adverse effects of fine dust has increased. In this study, an experiment was conducted by applying a physical adsorption mechanism to the matrix to evaluate the properties of the microdust adsorption matrix. Density, absorption rate, fluidity, thermal conductivity, strength, and fine dust adsorption tests were conducted as test items for the evaluation of the physical properties of the matrix mixed with blast furnace slag-based powdered activated carbon. In this study, powdered activated carbon was used as a material for adsorbing fine dust. The results of the experiment for fabricating a fine dust adsorption matrix using powdered activated carbon are as follows. As the mixing ratio of powdered activated carbon increased, the density and absorption ratio tended to decrease and the absorption ratio increased. The flowability test showed a tendency to decrease as the mixing ratio of powdered activated carbon increased. As a result of the thermal conductivity test measurement, as the mixing ratio of powdered activated carbon increased, it decreased due to the increase of voids. As a result of the fine dust measurement, the higher the mixing ratio of powdered activated carbon was, the more the concentration tended to decrease due to the physical adsorption action. Compared to previous experiments using photocatalysts, it has been confirmed that overall performance such as strength has decreased, so a solution is needed.

Published: April 2021

The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of multivalent vaccines for the prevention and treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in the phenotype of innate immune cells in patients with polytrauma. There were observed 60 patients with verified diagnosis ofpolytrauma. The subjects were divided into 2 subgroups by means of the simple randomization method: the patients treated with the traditional scheme and cases who additionally received the vaccine «Pseudovac». Investigation of the phenotypic composition of innate immunity cells were performed by flow cytometry on admission to hospital, on the 10th and 20th day of hospitalization. In patients with polytrauma who additionally received the vaccine «Pseudovac» in the blood there was increased the number of monocytes with CD14hiCD16+ phenotype and HLA-DR+-monocytes level retained. The number of NKT-cells (involved in immunoregulatory processes) in patients with polytrauma increased after the vaccine treatment, whereas the content of total NK-cells reduced, but while a high level of cytokine-producing cell fraction maintained. The use of the vaccine «Pseudovac» permits to compensate immunodeficiency that occurs in polytrauma due to the formation of adaptive immunity against one of the most common infections and the activation of innate immunity.

RISK FACTOR: THEORY AND PRACTICE IN THE APPLICATION IN EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES
Authors: Savilov Evgeny D. , Shugaeva S. N
Published: April 2021

The category “risk factor” is widely used in the clinical epidemiological studies. To date, a large number of applied studies on the specific characteristics of risk factors for individual nosological forms has been published. At the same time, there is a minimum of publications concerning dealing with a general pattern concerning the theoretical basis for the application of this epidemiological category. In connection with this, the purpose of this report is the theoretical presentation and justification for the use in the epidemiological studies of the category “risk factor”. The authors give an epidemiological definition to this term. The risk factor is any property or feature of the human population, any impact on it, which increases the probability of a negative effect on the incidence and/or its consequences on the prevalence of any epidemiological phenomenon. The article considers the main variants of grouping risk factors and their detailing by various classification criteria (external and internal factors, managed and unmanaged factors). The need to study the complex impact of risk factors, especially in combination and/or comorbidity diseases, is shown. The authors gave an epidemiological interpretation of the risk-related concepts: “risk determinant” and “risk marker”, the areas of correct application of these terms in clinical epidemiological studies are indicated. A proposal was made to use the term “determinant of risk” only in those cases when the investigated factor has a high degree of evidence of causality with the event being studied and is not disputed by other specialists. Examples of the substitution of the concepts “risk factor” and “risk marker” are given. There is marked the situation in which clinical and epidemiological studies mask real risk factors. In conclusion, the authors indicate to the evident level of designation and identification of risk factors as a necessary condition for the success of anti-epidemic measures and the adoption of adequate management decisions in the epidemiological surveillance system.

Published: April 2021

O presente artigo teve por objetivo oferecer um curso de formação em Língua Brasileira de Sinais – Libras e Cultura Surda junto a um grupo de servidores públicos de diferentes setores municipais de uma cidade do interior paulista, com vistas a dotá-los de conhecimentos básicos para oferecer um atendimento mais qualificado aos surdos e atenuar as barreiras comunicativas entre ambos. Teve como participantes 37 servidores públicos, numa carga horária de 30 horas contando com a presença de profissionais ouvintes especializados na área e dois surdos fluentes em Libras. Aplicou-se um questionário inicial para atender às demandas dos servidores e um final sobre a autoavaliação de seus aprendizados e expectativas. Os resultados mostraram que a maioria se sentiu mais preparada para oferecer aos surdos um atendimento de melhor qualidade, mas, também, houve aqueles que responderam ainda sentir certa insegurança, requerendo um maior tempo de prática e estudo para estabelecer uma comunicação de maior alcance para compreensão mútua. Em relação à formação recebida, esta foi em conformidade à importância de aprender essa língua, ao menos basicamente, não só para a comunicação em serviço, mas para a inclusão social destacando a relação estabelecida entre teoria e prática, em todos os instantes, o que proporcionou uma formação mais crítica e reflexiva sobre os conhecimentos adquiridos. Frente à inclusão social, faz-se necessário a realização de cursos de formação em Libras, uma vez que a condição linguística do surdo se realiza na modalidade de transmissão visual-espacial em vez de oral-auditiva como nas demais pessoas.

In this work, a porous nickel anode for thin-film solid oxide fuel cell prepared by the simple powder hot-pressing method is investigated. Powders of Ni and pore-forming agent (PFA) were thoroughly mixed in different ratios, pressed in a mold and further sintered. The polishing technique with Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) powder has been developed to decrease the surface roughness of Ni-based anode in order to deposit a crack-free electrolyte layer. The 3 μm YSZ thin-film electrolyte was deposited by the pulsed laser deposition technique on the surface of the anode. Morphological and elemental analyses of the samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses. X-ray diffraction was used for phase analysis and structural characterization. The specific surface areas of the resulting anodes were calculated from their isotherms of N2 adsorption and desorption using the Sorbtometer and calculated by Brunauer Emmett-Teller (BET) method. As a result, the highest mechanical strength and specific surface area (15.42 m2g-1) possessed a sample with the content of PFA equal to 40%, while its ionic conductivity at 800 °C reached 6. 4∙10-2 S/cm.

Published: April 2021

Background: Post traumatic lumbosacral plexopathy (LSP) is a well-known condition following pelvic fracture or abdominal trauma and surgery. A rare condition of LSP has been reported in the literature following femoral shaft fractures.
Case Report: Two cases of LSP after bilateral femoral shaft fracture presented to our center. In both cases, the mechanism of injury was a high energy trauma without any signs or symptoms of pelvic or spinal injury. Electrodiagnostic studies confirmed acute plexopathy and spontaneous recovery occurred in both.
Conclusion: LSP can be seen in association with fractures or traumas far from anatomical location of the plexus. Multidisciplinary approach and complete accurate examination are mandatory for diagnosis management of the condition.

Is There Income Inequality Convergence Between Regions in Turkey? Panel Data Analysis
Authors: KONAT Gökhan
Published: April 2021

In recent years, with globalization and technological change, it is seen that income inequality has increased in many economies. Therefore, the concept of income inequality is one of the issues that attract attention by researchers. There are many studies on income inequality in the literature. In terms of fiscal policy, the relationship with economic growth is tested, or with financial development. In this study, the validity of the stochastic convergence hypothesis of income inequality is desirable to test for interregional in Turkey. For this purpose, the stationarity test of income inequality was carried out with the panel unit root test. Coefficient of income inequality which expressed as Gini covers the period 2006-2019 and this coefficient to Turkey Statistical Institute has been accessed from the official database. As a result of the panel unit root analysis performed for 12 Regions (Level 1) according to the classification of statistical region units, it was concluded that the Gini coefficient was not stationary. So the hypothesis of convergence between regions in Turkey is not available and there is an imbalance in the distribution of income. Therefore, a lot of work falls on policy makers to ensure justice in income distribution.

Authors: Álvarez Muguruza Iraide
Published: April 2021

El objetivo de este artículo es hacer hablar al humor con la finalidad de identificar quién habla y desde qué posición lo hace persiguiendo, por un lado, desvelar los mecanismos de violencia simbólica ejercidos sobre las mujeres que se hallan ocultos tras las prácticas humorísticas; y por otro, explorar alternativas feministas de resistencia del sistema patriarcal a través del humor. Para ello, a partir de dos casos representativos, y mediante una aproximación bourdiana, se han explorado algunos de los elementos constitutivos de la relación entre la representación de los agentes implicados en el proceso de producción del humor y el mundo social. Los resultados obtenidos presentan la existencia de un habitus patriarcal difundido a través de las prácticas humorísticas así como una tipología de humor feminista que busca estimular el cambio en la dirección de la igualdad y la justicia social.
A Near-infrared Benzothiazole-based Chemodosimeter for Rapid and Selective Detection of Hydrogen Sulfide
Authors: KOLEMEN Safacan
Published: April 2021

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a biologically relevant gaseous molecule, which involves in a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes. Thus, detection of H2S is highly valuable in order to clarify its complex roles. In this study, a new benzothiazole-based donor-acceptor type H2S selective chemodosimeter (HP-1) was synthesized and its H2S detection capabilities were investigated in aqueous solutions. HP-1 exhibited a red-shifted absorption signal at 530 nm and a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence peak at 680 nm as a result of enhanced intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) in the presence of H2S, which enabled a selective and very rapid ratiometric fluorescent detection. HP-1 was also showed to be highly sensitive toward H2S with a very low limit of detection value.

In this study, new cyclotriphosphazene derivatives bearing 2-naphthylthio group were reported. The reactions of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (1) with 2-naphthalenethiol (2) were carried out with NaH base in tetrahydrofuran solution under inert (Ar) atmosphere in (1:2), (1:4) and (1:6) molar ratios. As a result of the reactions, bis geminal (3), tetrakis (4) and hexakis (5) 2-naphthylthio substituted cyclotriphosphazene derivatives formed and isolated. These new compounds were characterized with elemental analysis, mass (MALDI-TOF) analysis, 31P{H} and 1H NMR spectroscopies. The molecular structure of compound 3 was illuminated by single-crystal X-Ray diffraction technique. Furthermore, the fluorescence properties of the newly designed and synthesis compounds (3-5) were examined.
Radiology diagnostics of the diabetic Charcot neuroarthropathy
Authors: Bregovskiy V. B.
Published: April 2021

Diabetic neuroosteoarthropathy (Charcot foot, DNOAP) is the aseptic inflammatory destruction of the joints of the foot or ankle. The outcome of DNOAP is foot deformities of various degrees of severity, which lead to a decrease in the ability to weight-bearing, as well as to a high risk of foot ulcer and amputation. Features of the clinical picture and the lack of reliable diagnostic methods lead to difficulties in the diagnosis of this pathology. Currently, radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and radioisotope methods are used to visualize Charcot's arthropathy. Plain X-radiography, despite its high availability and low cost, is unsuitable for the diagnosis of DNOAP at an early stage. Magnetic resonance imaging is characterized by high diagnostic significance at an early stage and provides valuable information about the activity of the process during treatment, but it is expensive and limited. Radioisotope techniques are practically unavailable and are used for scientific purposes. At the same time, none of these methods is reliable for the diagnosis of all stages of DNOAP, especially the transition to the inactive stage. The present review characterizes the advantages and disadvantages of these types of diagnostics.

Authors: Zakhmatova T. V. , Koen V. S. , Shtentsel R. E.
Published: April 2021

Background. The maximum duration of vascular access for hemodialysis functioning rarely exceeds 4 years. The main tool for diagnosing access dysfunction is duplex ultrasound. Dynamic ultrasound examination of vascular access is not included in the standard examination of patient undergoing hemodialysis in Russia.

Objective. To study the structure of complications and changes in hemodynamics in the vascular access for hemodialysis and to determine the risk factors contributing to its development.

Design and methods. Ultrasound, clinical and laboratory examination was performed in 550 patients undergoing program hemodialysis, 517 (94.0 %) of them had arteriovenous fistula, 33 (6.0 %) patients had arteriovenous graft.

Results. Vascular access complications occurred in 26.7 % (147 patients), there was no significant difference in the detection rate of thrombosis (26.5 %), stenosis (23.8 %), and aneurysm (21.1 %). A combination of two complications was observed in 20.4 %, the steal syndrome — in 8.2 %. A correlation was established between the presence of significant stenosis, aneurysm of the outflow vein and the development of thrombosis, between the presence of concomitant diseases of the peripheral arteries and the development of steal syndrome and stenosis of the inflow artery and the anastomosis zone.

Conclusion. Duplex ultrasound allows to diagnose complications of vascular access for hemodialysis and determine its causes.

Published: April 2021

Background: Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae is one of the most devastating zoonotic bacterial pathogen affects both fish and human health worldwide. The study aims to isolate and characterize P. damselae subsp. damselae from both wild caught and cage culture fishes. The virulence potential of P. damselae subsp. damselae on damselfish also been revealed. Methods: A total of 212 finfishes from cage culture and wild environment were collected from the south east coast of India and identified for the presence of zoonotic P. damselae subsp. damselae. Standard biochemical and molecular methods (using specific gene) were employed to identify the P. damselae subsp. damselae isolates. A total of 61 isolates were identified as P. damselae subsp. damselae. Dendogram analysis was done for selected 30 strains based on band thickness of PCR product after using IS and ERIC PCR. The data were statistically analysed by unweighted pair group method using mathematic averages (UPGMA) for numerical analysis of banding patterns. The thirty out of sixty one isolates (20% or 50%) showed their presence in both wild caught and cage cultured fishes. The isolates from the wild caught fish were tested for their virulence on damsel fish and histopathological effect also studied. Result: High prevalence of P. damselae subsp. damselae in wild caught parrot fish was noticed when compared to the cage culture fishes. The dendrogram obtained after numerical analysis with the Dice coefficient and UPGMA method shows that all patterns shared more than 50% similarity. Experimental challenge revealed that P. damselae subsp. damselae isolates from wild caught will cause severe tissue damage, abnormal behavior, clinical signs and also leads to fish mortality.

Published: April 2021

Background: Classical swine fever (CSF) is caused by small enveloped RNA virus that belongs to the Flaviviridae family and causes high morbidity and mortality events for pig farming. In India, it is highly prevalent but with varied distribution in various geographical areas resulting in substantial economic losses to farmers. The discrepancy in prevalence estimates across studies needs to be evaluated in order to strengthen the prevention and control strategies of CSF in pigs. The aim of the present study was to provide the pooled estimate of the prevalence of classical swine fever (CSF) in India and to examine the consistency of those estimates between published studies. Methods: The data regarding prevalence of CSF in 7045 pigs were compiled from 22 published studies using comprehensive literature search for period from 1998 to 2018. The pooled prevalence of CSF was obtained under random effects model and heterogeneity between studies was determined using I² Index. Representation of meta-analysis was done using forest plot and followed by funnel plot, Baujat plot and radial plot. Result: The result of Meta-analysis revealed that pooled estimate of prevalence of CSF under random effects model was 45% (95% confidence interval: 35, 55%) in India. The heterogeneity statistic (Q) was found to be significant (p less than 0.001) with I² = 98% which indicated that prevalence of CSF was inconsistent between the studies. Likewise, results of funnel plot and Radial plot indicated heterogeneity between studies. Most influential studies for overall heterogeneity were identified using Baujat and radical plots.
