Background and Objective:

Doxorubicin (DOX)- an anthracycline is a well-known anticancer agent but its limitation lies in it hepato- and cardio-toxicity involving the mitochondrial redox pathway. Thus, there is need for chemoprotective agents to serve as interventions for militating against toxicity during cancer management. This study investigated the protective potential of Annona senegalensis stem bark extracts (ASE) on DOX-induced mitochondrial membrane damage and oxidative stress in albino rats’ livers.

Materials and Methods:

ASE was subjected to phytochemical screening. Thirty male Wistar strain albino rats (13 weeks old; 150–160 g) were randomly divided into Groups A (control) received distilled water, Groups B, C, D, E, and F received DOX-only (20 mg/kg), DOX (20 mg/kg) + ASE (100 mg/kg), DOX (20 mg/kg) + ASE (200 mg/kg), DOX (20 mg/kg) + ASE (400 mg/kg), ASE (400 mg/kg) only, respectively (n = 5 per group). Groups that received ASE were pre-administered for 7 days before intraperitoneal administration of DOX on day 7. Rats were sacrificed, oxidative stress and liver membrane damage were evaluated.

Results:

Tannin, saponin, phenol, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, reducing sugar, and cardiac glycosides were present, while combined and free anthraquinone were absent in ASE. The total flavonoid, phenol, tannin, and reducing sugar content of ASE were 13.11 ± 1.09, 27.19 ± 0.61, 8.98 ± 1.2, and 27.3 ± 1.6 mg gallic acid equivalent, respectively. Activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase, and level of glutathione in both hepatic mitochondrial membrane and post-mitochondrial fractions (PMF) increased concentration-dependently in ASE pretreated compared to DOX-only-treated animals. Malondialdehyde levels significantly (P < 0.05) decreased concentration-dependently.

Conclusions:

ASE has chemoprotective potential on liver mitochondria and PMF against DOX-induced toxicity attributable to its constituent phytochemicals.
Mode stability and shallow quasinormal modes of Kerr–de Sitter black holes away from extremality
Authors: Hintz Peter
Published: May 2024

A Kerr–de Sitter black hole is a solution

(M,g_{\Lambda,\mathfrak{m},\mathfrak{a}})

of the Einstein vacuum equations with cosmological constant

\Lambda>0

. It describes a black hole with mass

\mathfrak{m}>0

and specific angular momentum

\mathfrak{a}\in\mathbb{R}

. We show that for any

\varepsilon>0

there exists

\delta>0

so that mode stability holds for the linear scalar wave equation

\Box_{g_{\Lambda,\mathfrak{m},\mathfrak{a}}}\phi=0

when

|\mathfrak{a}/\mathfrak{m}|\in[0,1-\varepsilon]

and

\Lambda\mathfrak{m}^{2}<\delta

. In fact, we show that all quasinormal modes

\sigma

in any fixed half-space

\operatorname{Im}\sigma>-C\sqrt{\Lambda}

are equal to

0

or

-i\sqrt{\Lambda/3}(n+o(1))

,

n\in\mathbb{N}

, as

\Lambda\mathfrak{m}^{2}\searrow 0

. We give an analogous description of quasinormal modes for the Klein–Gordon equation.
We regard a Kerr–de Sitter black hole with small

\Lambda\mathfrak{m}^{2}

as a singular perturbation either of a Kerr black hole with the same angular momentum-to-mass ratio, or of de Sitter spacetime without any black hole present. We use the mode stability of subextremal Kerr black holes, proved by Whiting and Shlapentokh-Rothman, as a black box; the quasinormal modes described by our main result are perturbations of those of de Sitter space. Our proof is based on careful uniform a priori estimates, in a variety of asymptotic regimes, for the spectral family and its de Sitter and Kerr model problems in the singular limit

Cross-border human population movement contributes to malaria transmission in border regions, impeding national elimination. However, its impact in low-to-moderate transmission settings is not well characterized. This community-based study in Mutasa District, Zimbabwe, estimated the association of parasite prevalence with self-reported overnight travel to Mozambique and household distance to the border from 2012–2020. A fully adjusted Poisson regression model with robust variance estimation was fit using active surveillance data. The population attributable fraction of parasite prevalence from overnight travel was also estimated. The relative risk of testing positive for malaria by rapid diagnostic test declined 14% (prevalence ratio [PR] = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.81–0.92) per kilometer from the border up to 12 km away. Travel to Mozambique was associated with a 157% increased risk (PR = 2.57, 95% CI = 1.38–4.78), although only 5.8% of cases were attributable to overnight travel (95% CI = −1.1% to 12.7%), reflecting infrequent overnight trips (1.3% of visits). This study suggests that transmission in eastern Zimbabwe is driven by increasingly conducive social or environmental conditions approaching the border and low levels of importation from overnight travel. Although day trips to Mozambique during peak biting hours were not assessed, the contribution of such trips to ongoing transmission may be significant. Future malaria control efforts should prioritize high coverage of existing interventions and continued support for community health workers and health facilities at the border, which provide free case management.

O tiê-sangue, Ramphocelus bresilia (Linnaeus, 1766), é uma ave endêmica da Mata Atlântica, com distribuição restrita ao Brasil oriental. Entre 2010 e 2015, sua dieta foi estudada na Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) de Guapi-Mirim, o remanescente de manguezal mais importante da baía de Guanabara, Rio de Janeiro. As aves foram capturadas com redes de neblina e suas fezes, coletadas e armazenadas em frascos com álcool a 70%, resultando em 51 amostras de 40 indivíduos. Em 62,7% das amostras, havia itens vegetais e animais, em 21,6%, apenas itens vegetais e em 13,7%, somente itens animais. Em 2% das amostras, não havia material identificável. Sementes de três espécies foram identificadas: Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi (n = 9), Tapirira guianensis Aubl. (n = 2) e Tilesia baccata (L.) Pruski (n = 1); de outras seis sementes, apenas o gênero foi identificado, sendo os mais frequentes Miconia Ruiz & Pav. (n = 10) e Alchornea Sw. (n = 6). Entre os itens animais, foram encontrados artrópodes, principalmente insetos das ordens Coleoptera (n = 24), Hymenoptera (n = 10) e Odonata (n = 7). Um registro possivelmente inédito foi a presença, em uma amostra, de uma vértebra e dois fragmentos de ossos de um filhote de ave, uma provável predação oportunista.

Эндометриоз является распространенным гинекологическим заболеванием среди пациенток репродуктивного периода, которое оказывает существенное негативное влияние на качество их жизни. Диагностика эндометриоза может быть длительной и занимать до 8–12 лет. Выявление заболевания на ранней стадии в отсутствие клинических симптомов повышает шансы предотвратить его прогрессирование и развитие возможных осложнений. В этой связи представляется актуальным поиск эффективных неинвазивных маркеров, которые имеют первостепенное значение в ранней диагностике эндометриоза. Перспективны дальнейшие исследования новых комбинаций исследуемых показателей и других неинвазивных методов совместно с изучением новых технологий в целях своевременного выявления данного заболевания, назначения необходимого лечения и сохранения репродуктивной функции.

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease among patients of the reproductive period, which has a significant negative impact on their quality of life. The period of diagnosis of this disease can be long and take up to 8–12 years. Detection of endometriosis at an early stage in the absence of clinical symptoms increases the opportunity to prevent the progression of the disease and the development of possible complications. In this regard, the current direction is to search for more effective non-invasive markers, which are of paramount importance in the early diagnosis of endometriosis. Further studies of new combinations of the studied indicators and other non-invasive methods are promising, together with the study of new technologies in order to timely detect this disease, prescribe the necessary treatment and preserve reproductive function.

В медицинской этике существует постулат «прежде всего – не навреди» (primum non nocere), который ставит заботу о пациенте в центр врачебной практики. В рамках этого принципа возникает важный вопрос о применении абортов в больнице. Отказ от проведения абортов в определенных клинических учреждениях становится неотъемлемой частью стремления к сохранению жизни, репродуктивного потенциала населения, заботы о здоровье матери и создания благоприятного медицинского окружения. Вопрос о применении абортов в медицинских учреждениях требует принятия сложного этического решения. В условиях современного медицинского прогресса и развития общественного сознания обсуждение этих вопросов становится все более актуальным. В данной статье мы обратим внимание на перспективу отказа от проведения абортов в больнице и рассмотрим, как это решение может способствовать не только сохранению жизни, но и более глубокой заботе о репродуктивном здоровье женщин. Давайте взглянем на аспекты этого вопроса и обсудим, как отказ от абортов в больнице может соответствовать принципам этичной медицинской практики.

In medical ethics, there is a postulate primum non nocere, which puts patient care at the center of medical practice. Within this principle, an important question arises regarding the use of hospital abortions. Refusal to perform abortions in certain clinical institutions becomes an integral part of the desire to preserve life, the reproductive potential of the population, care for maternal health and the creation of a favorable medical environment. The question of the use of abortion in medical institutions faces us as a complex ethical decision. In the context of modern medical progress and the development of public consciousness, discussion of these issues is becoming increasingly relevant. In this article, we look at the prospect of eliminating in-hospital abortions and consider how this solution can contribute not only to the preservation of life, but also to greater concern for women’s reproductive health. Let’s take a look at aspects of this issue and discuss how refusing to perform abortions in a hospital can be consistent with principles of ethical medical practice.

The aim of this research is to examine the hubris syndrome levels of individuals playing amateur football in Kayseri in terms of various variables. A total of 298 randomly selected individuals who were athletes in amateur football clubs in Kayseri province participated in the study voluntarily.  In the study, the “Hubris Syndrome in Sport Scale” developed by Tutar and Nacar (2022) and the personal information form prepared by the researchers were used as data collection tools. The personal information form consists of 4 questions asked to obtain information about the age, league level, football playing history (years) and position of the participants. Statistical analyses of the data obtained were made with the SPSS 27.0 package program. Personal information about the candidates, inventory total scores and factor scores were given by determining frequency (f) and percentage (%) values. One-way analysis of variance (LSD) test statistics was used to compare the scores obtained from the scales.  As a result, while a significant difference was found in the variables of soccer playing history (years) and position played (p<0.05), no significant difference was found in the variables of age and league level played (p>0.05). When the general hubris syndrome levels of the football players were examined, it was determined that the sub-dimension scores of self-importance and holding oneself superior to others were below the average, while the self-confidence sub-dimension scores were above the average.

Authors: Davoyan Samson , Asatryan Vahe , Shakhanumyan Svetlana
Published: May 2024

Each institution of a complex economic system, as a matter of fact, has its effect on reducing or increasing the country's economic stability. When we look at the global economy, these various institutions, under the influence of random or non-random phenomena, continuously change the nature of their interactions, changing also the level of global economic stability. Based on the importance of economic stability, it is necessary to highlight the factors in the sphere of influence of which economic stability has a positive effect on various infrastructures of countries.
The article discusses the current problems of economic stability in the 25 countries of the European Union. To solve this complex problem, econometric methods are used; in particular, correlation-regression analysis was carried out with the help of the EViews software package. The obtained results show that in order to ensure economic stability in each country, it is necessary to pay attention to the levels of such indices as the index of global innovation, the index of economic complexity, the index of human potential development, the index of quality infrastructure. As a result of our calculations, it was found that in order to ensure the economic stability of each country of the European Union, it is necessary to implement reforms in various economic directions, which are presented in our research.

Fashion recommendation systems have become increasingly essential in the e-commerce industry, providing personalized outfit suggestions to users, enhancing their shopping experience, and boosting sales. This paper presents a novel approach to fashion recommendation by combining machine learning and deep learning techniques. We leverage a comprehensive dataset of user preferences and fashion items to create a robust recommendation system. Our approach first employs collaborative filtering and matrix factorization methods to establish user-item interactions. Subsequently, deep learning models, such as neural collaborative filtering and recurrent neural networks, are utilized to capture intricate patterns within the fashion data. This combination enables the system to offer personalized fashion recommendations based on the user's historical choices, style, and real-time Behaviour. The evaluation of our system demonstrates its effectiveness in enhancing user engagement and satisfaction while increasing the platform's revenue. The proposed fashion recommendation system showcases the potential of integrating machine learning and deep learning for optimizing personalized fashion suggestions in the ever- evolving fashion e-commerce landscape. This research contributes to the broader field of recommendation systems and their applications in the fashion industry.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, there is a constant quest for innovations that set themselves apart. Gestures emerge as a highly coveted means of communication with machines. The significance of Human-Computer Interaction becomes evident when harnessing human gestures to govern computer applications. While conventional controls like mice, keyboards, and laser pointers have been commonplace, recent technological strides have introduced more effective techniques for application control. Numerous Gesture Recognition methods, leveraging image processing, have been explored in the past. However, the challenge of recognizing gestures in noisy backgrounds has persistently posed difficulties. In our proposed system, we intend to employ a technique known as Augmentation in Image processing to command a Media Player. This involves recognizing gestures to manipulate operations on the Media Player. Augmentation proves advantageous, particularly in the realm of virtual reality, as it is not constrained by background limitations. Additionally, it eliminates dependencies on specific accessories like gloves or color pointers for gesture recognition. The proposed system caters to users seeking a simplified and enhanced interaction with their computers.

Published: May 2024

The integration of finger vein authentication technology to enhance security measures within restricted zones in hospital environments, is the aim of this project. An advanced biometric technique called finger vein authentication uses each person's individual vein patterns to confirm their identification. It is especially desirable for applications where security is critical, such financial transactions, healthcare, and access control, because it provides a very safe and non-intrusive means of authentication. Although there has been considerable success with traditional finger vein authentication methods, deep learning techniques have completely changed this field. A branch of artificial intelligence called deep learning has shown impressive results in pattern recognition and picture analysis, which makes it a prime contender for improving the precision and dependability of finger vein authentication systems. Finger vein authentication utilizes biometric characteristics unique to everyone, providing a highly secure method of identity verification. By implementing this technology, hospitals can bolster access control, prevent unauthorized entry into sensitive areas, and safeguard patient information and critical resources. The project aims to implement finger vein authentication systems to regulate access to restricted areas such as operating rooms, medication storage areas, and patient information sections. Authorized personnel will undergo authentication via finger vein scans for entry, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access these zones.
Advanced Polymer Composite with Graphene Content for Emi Shielding
Authors: Arun Sebastian  , Dr Asaletha Raghavan
Published: May 2024

One of the increasingly common unexpected outcomes of the extensive usage of electronic devices and systems is electromagnetic interference (EMI). The need for efficient fillers and shielding materials to manage electromagnetic interference (EMI) and associated issues is rising. Adding more filler typically means greater production costs, poor dispersion, and unintended agglomeration, which makes polymer composites harder to work with and mechanically weak. Therefore, it is highly desired to design a strong composite with conductive filler content that nonetheless performs well as an EMI shield. Therefore, using a graphene substrate and dispersion of conducting polymers such as polyacetylene and MWCNT fillers, a hybrid polymer composite based on polyetherimide is proposed in this research. Next, the enhancement of EMI shielding efficiency is examined. The design of the graphene substrate was completed with a coating based on nano filler, and the blending methods of the polymer matrix and the reinforcing filler materials are explored. ANSYS-HFSS software is then used to assess the shield's efficacy among others, and the results demonstrated improved performance. Therefore, by putting the suggested design into practice, high-performance EMI shielding materials can be created by combining various shield fillers. As a result, the composites' mechanical, electrical, and EMI shielding qualities will all improve.
