Published: October 2022

Introduction: The risk of typical atrial ﬂutter (AFL) is
increased proportionately to right atrial (RA) size or right atrial
scarring that results in reduced conduction velocity. These
characteristics result in propagation of a flutter wave by ensuring the
macro re-entrant wave front does not meet its refractory tail. The time
taken to traverse the circuit would take account of both of these
characteristics and may provide a novel marker of propensity to develop
AFL. Our goal was to investigate right atrial collision time (RACT) as a
marker of existing or future typical AFL. Methods: This single
centre, prospective study recruited consecutive typical AFL ablation
patients that were in sinus rhythm. Controls were consecutive
electrophysiology study patients >18 years of age. While
pacing the coronary sinus (CS) ostium at 600 ms, a local activation time
map was created to locate the latest collision point on the
anterolateral right atrial wall. This RACT is a measure of conduction
velocity and distance from CS to a collision point on the lateral right
atrial wall. Results: 98 patients were included in the
analysis, 41 with atrial flutter and 57 controls. Patients with atrial
flutter were older, 64.7 ± 9.7 vs 52.4 ± 16.8 years (<0.001)
and more often male (34/41vs 31/57 (0.003)). The AFL group mean RACT
(132.6±17.3 ms) was significantly longer than that of controls
(99.1±11.6 ms) (p<0.001). A RACT cut-off of 115.5 ms had a
sensitivity and specificity of 92.7% and 93.0% respectively for
diagnosis of atrial flutter. An ROC curve indicated an AUC of 0.96 (95%
CI: 0.93-1.0, p<0.01). Conclusion: RACT is a novel
and promising marker of propensity for typical AFL. This data will
inform larger prospective studies. The ability to predict AFL would be
of signiﬁcant clinical value to guide anticoagulation and ablation
decisions.

Background To assess the outcomes of pediatric patients with
Undifferentiated Embryonal Sarcoma of the Liver (UESL) and treatment
including at least surgery and systemic chemotherapy. Methods This study
included patients aged up to 21 years with a pathological diagnosis of
UESL prospectively enrolled from 1995 to 2016 in three european trials
focusing on the effects of surgical margins, preoperative chemotherapy,
use of radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy. Results Out of 65 patients
with a median age at diagnosis of 8.7 years (0.6-20.8), 15 had T2
tumors, and 1 had lymph node spread, 14 were Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma
Study (IRS) I, 9 IRSII, 38 IRSIII, and 4 IRSIV. Twenty-eight upfront
surgeries resulted in 5 operative spillages and 11 infiltrated surgical
margins, whereas 37 delayed surgeries resulted in no spillages (P=
0.0119) and 3 infiltrated margins (P=0.0238). All patients received
chemotherapy, including anthracyclines in 47. Radiotherapy was
administered in 15 patients. With a median follow-up of 78.6 months, 5
year overall and event free survivals (EFS) were 90.1% (95%CI
79.2-95.5) and 89.1% (95%CI 78.4-94.6), respectively. Two out 4 local
relapses had previous infiltrated margins and 2 out of 3 patients with
metastatic relapses received reduced doses of alkylating agents.
Infiltrated margins (P=0.1607), T2 stage (P=0.3870), use of RT (P=
0.8731), and anthracycline-based chemotherapy (P= 0.1181) were not
correlated with EFS. Conclusions Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for pediatric
patients with UESL increases the probability of complete surgical
resection. The role of anthracyclines and radiotherapy for localized
disease remains unclear. The use of alkylating agents is recommended.

Abstract A 47 years old man presented to the hospital department with pain in his anterior neck region. The pain was also present when the patient swallowed food. Along with this pain, the patient also complained of suffering from low-grade fever, myalgia, and fatigue. Before coming to the hospital, the patient had taken NSAIDs for 5 days straight, but with no effect on his pain and other conditions except for temporary relief. Then 4 days back, he went to a private hospital where his lab investigations were ordered. The patient came in positive for hyperthyroidism. The medicines prescribed by that hospital setting were of no use and again, did not help in reducing his symptoms. Along with the usual lab investigations and the thyroid profile ordered for this patient, his general physical examination was performed. The patient was afebrile at the time of examination, he had no fine or shaking tremors in his hands. Yet, there was a visible diffuse swelling noticed on his neck, which was very much consistent with the findings of goitre. Apart from this, no cervical lymphadenopathy was appreciated. No other abnormality was detected in the rest of the examination. The patient’s CBC report was normal as well.

Published: October 2022

In this paper, an advanced exergetic study is carried out to improve the exergy efficiency and minimize the exergy losses of an absorption refrigerator. Two thermal processes based on rectification and distillation were proposed to meet this critical requirement. A numerical simulation model was established in the FORTRAN language, building on the analytical Gibbs free energy equations. This model was validated from a thermodynamic point of view by previously published results. Preliminary results showed that when the efficiency of the absorber and boiler is increased, the vapors produced by the boiler become enriched in ammonia, and the overall exergy efficiency increases, which reduces considerably the irreversibility of the components of the studied absorption system. A comparative study of the effect of these two thermal processes on the overall exergy efficiency and total exergy losses was evaluated simultaneously. The results show that the refrigerator with a distiller has a higher exergy efficiency (?ex = 24.37% at 86?C), and at the same time has a lower total exergy loss (Exl,tot = 457.45 kW) than the refrigerator with a rectifier (?ex = 22.34% at 85?C; Exl,tot = 532.37 kW). This study reveals that the distillation process can contribute more to the exergy improvement and exergy loss minimization of the studied absorption refrigerator than the rectification process.

Published: October 2022

A technological solution for the management of diabetes in people who require intensive insulin therapy has been sought for decades. The last 10 years have seen substantial growth in devices that can be integrated into clinical care. Driven by the availability of reliable systems for continuous glucose monitoring, we have entered an era in which insulin delivery through insulin pumps can be modulated based on sensor glucose data. Over the past few years, regulatory approval of the first automated insulin delivery (AID) systems has been granted, and these systems have been adopted into clinical care. Additionally, a community of people living with type 1 diabetes has created its own systems using a do-it-yourself approach by using products commercialized for independent use. With several AID systems in development, some of which are anticipated to be granted regulatory approval in the near future, the joint Diabetes Technology Working Group of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes and the American Diabetes Association has created this consensus report. We provide a review of the current landscape of AID systems, with a particular focus on their safety. We conclude with a series of recommended targeted actions. This is the fourth in a series of reports issued by this working group. The working group was jointly commissioned by the executives of both organizations to write the first statement on insulin pumps, which was published in 2015. The original authoring group was comprised by three nominated members of the American Diabetes Association and three nominated members of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes. Additional authors have been added to the group to increase diversity and range of expertise. Each organization has provided a similar internal review process for each manuscript prior to submission for editorial review by the two journals. Harmonization of editorial and substantial modifications has occurred at both levels. The members of the group have selected the subject of each statement and submitted the selection to both organizations for confirmation.

Association between Periodontitis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease- Review of Current Literature on the Biologic Plausibility
Authors: P R Ganesh
Published: October 2022

Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of teeth, is etiologically associated with a subset of pathogenic organisms that thrive in the anoxic niche provided by the diseased periodontal pockets. These anaerobic gram-negative organisms resident in plaque biofilm and causing an overwhelming chronic inflammatory response in periodontal tissues have also been associated with other systemic chronic inflammatory diseases like cardiovascular, renal, and adverse pregnancy outcomes as per literature being published for the past twenty years or more. This paper aims to provide an overview on the biological plausibility of a strong association between systemic seeding of pathogenic oral bacteria and chronic bowel diseases like Inflammatory Bowel Diseases by reviewing recent literature from open-source journals on the same topic. Knowledge of the association between oral bacteria and gut inflammatory diseases will help in broadening the preventive and therapeutic options available currently by suggesting measures to suppress the systemic hyper-immune response.

The primary motive of this paper is to give the design and implementation of RNS (Residue Number System) based Area efficient and excessive-overall performance FIR filter of 4-tap, eight-tap, 16-tap of input eight bit. Additionally, RNS mathematics is a treasured device for theoretical research of the limits of fast mathematics. These proposed strategies additionally have a few additions operation, through the use of convention adder will decrease the speed of operation and additionally increase the number of logic gates. So, to conquer the one's issues we are using Ladner Fischer parallel prefix adder to lower the delay and area. First, the multiplier is designed through the use of RNS approach. In which the delay is decreased through 78.57% and power dissipation is likewise reduced to 64.65% for the RNS_PPA multiplier. A combination of those algorithms generates a brand-new structure of excessive speed and low implementation area in a single multiplier for FIR filter using Xilinx 14.7.
Design of a Rainwater Collection System and Possible Use of Harvested Water in a Kindergarten Building: A Case Study in Tirana City, Albania
Authors: Beqaj Blerina , Marko Oltion , Çobani Entela , Profka Dritan
Published: October 2022

This research paper focuses on the design of a rainwater collection system and the possible use of harvested rainwater in a kindergarten building to promote water conservation. Rainwater harvesting is an old technique but increasing in use because of the natural rainwater quality and to reduce the treated water consumption. Harvesting rainwater is considered an alternative source in the field of integrated water resources management and can be approved in many buildings to improve water conservation. In Tirana, there is a little experience in rainwater harvesting, since the availability of freshwater resources hasn't been a problem yet. Once we have studied all the key components needed to design a rainwater collection system, we got a kindergarten building with a catchment area of 370 m2. Rainwater that will be collected will be used for the daily requirements of the building, in flushing toilets, washing machines, and watering the garden. A system of rainwater harvest reduces potable water use, decreases ongoing operating costs for the kindergarten, and prevents storm runoff that would negatively impact the environment.
Agro-Pastoral Dairy Chains and Prospects for Expanding Milk Processing in Tanzania: A Case of Misungwi District
Authors: Chasama Godfrey Lucas , Massawe Heriel Fanuel
Published: October 2022

A market survey was conducted in Misungwi District to explore interventions towards increased milk processing. A total of 99 producers, 34 transporters and 11 traders of milk from six villages of the district were interviewed using questionnaires. It was found that at least 24,180.7 liters of milk are marketed from farmers every day in Misungwi. Majority (61.2 %) of the milk selling households sold milk to consumers and some others (35.8 %) sold to transporters whereas few (3 %) sold to traders. Prices per liter of milk fetched by producers, transporters and traders were 854, 1,680 and 2,122 TSHs, respectively. Accessibility to electricity, roads, extension, veterinary, inputs and water services was considered at least satisfactory by 95.9 %, 78.8 %, 83.9 %, 86.1 %, 49.5 % and 50.5 % of producers, respectively in the district. Supermarket and shops found in the district were selling packaged milk at a price of 3750 TSHs per liter. All milk transporters used bicycles and considerable part (44%) of them carried milk using un-recommended plastic containers. Milk quality testing is not commonly practiced in milk trading. The major chain bottleneck observed was thus identified to be underdevelopment of milk collection and lack of industrial scale dairy processor. The main intervention that was recommended is capitalizing on progressive farmers by organizing them to form dairy cooperatives. These can be capacitated to perform vibrantly functions of milk collection and processing and also to act as pivotal points for streamlining quality control through quality testing. The cooperative can be backed by existing service providers from both public and private sectors to combat the existing challenges. Major adaptation needed is coping with the dispersed and mobility nature of the milk producers which can be achieved by establishing an extensive but highly accessible milk bulking network.

Published: October 2022

Fruit of mango tree (Mangifera indica L.) is most traded worldwide among Anacardiaceae. Kernels from mango processing units in northern Côte d'Ivoire are waste to be recovered to avoid environmental pollution. This work therefore aims to study sensory, micrographic and physico-chemical characteristics of almond flours from kernels of Kent and Keitt mangoes varieties. Kent mango stones were collected at drying factory Gninnangnon of Korhogo (Côte d'Ivoire). As for kernels of Keitt, they come from mangoes from orchards of Korhogo. These kernels were washed, dried at 50°C for 72 hours before extracting almonds which were reduced to flour by grinding. Sensory analysis showed that Kent (FKent) and Keitt (FKeitt) flours were belgian, lightly scented and flavored, bland in taste, soft to touch and slightly astringent. Micrographic analysis of flours FKent and FKeitt revealed cracked starches contained in cells of parenchyma, cracked starches isolated from parenchyma, fiber fragment, paracytic stomata, protective long twisted unicellular and fragment of endocarp. Concerning physicochemical parameters, results showed that moisture of flours FKent and FKeitt were respectively 7.77±0.38% and 7.44±0.19% with ash contents of 2.50±0.01% and 2.25±0.01%. Their lipids contents of flours FKent and FKeitt were respectively 18.74±0.24% and 21.54±0.31% while those of proteins revealed 10.54±0.05% and 8.31±0.02%. Flours FKent and FKeitt contained respectively 60.43±0.64% and 60.48±0.48% of carbonates. Finally, fatty acid profile of flours FKent and FKeitt revealed linoleic, oleic, stearic and palmitic acids. This study showed that flours FKent and FKeitt could be used in cosmetics and animal feeding.
Optimal Hardenability Steel and Its Future Worldwide Application
Authors: Kobasko Nikolai I.
Published: October 2022

In the paper the problem of intensive quenching (IQ) of optimal hardenability (OH) steel in low concentration of water solutions that eliminates film boiling is widely discussed. Currently, for performing IQ processes complicated quench systems and highly costly technological processes are used resulting in the slow application of IQ technologies in the heat-treating industry. Also, there is no complete understanding of what makes OH steel unique, especially after quenching in low concentrations of water polymer solutions. The paper states that OH steel should be quenched in water polymer solutions of low concentration (1%–3%) agitated by hydrodynamic emitters to guarantee the absence of the film boiling process. Optimal results one can obtain if OH steel is composed according to patented methodology and is quenched in condition 0.8≤Kn≤1. All of this simplifies the quenching process resulting in acceleration and wide use of IQ technologies in the heat-treating industry.
Comparing the Influences of Masking, Crowding, Response Conflict, and Cortical Scaling on Simple Shape Identification with Foveal Targets

Two experiments were conducted to compare the effects of masking and crowding on simple shape perception. The target stimuli were presented in foveal vision, where masking effects are generally investigated and where crowding effects are typically small compared to peripheral vision. The second experiment investigated the potential involvement of the dorsal visual pathway by testing if a peripheral crowding stimulus could interfere with the perception of a target shape, if it were scaled to account for low visual acuity? The results of both experiments indicated strong congruency effects, especially for pattern and metacontrast masking (which, in some respects, is similar to crowding). Congruency effects were generally weak for distractors presented further from the target. In Experiment 2, cortically scaled distractors only showed a potential influence in the forward masking condition. Perhaps this is an indication of a priming effect from the distant crowding stimuli. Further research might reveal the extent to which crowding displays can test physiologically motivated hypotheses.

Published: October 2022

The present study investigates the extent to which the relationship between multiple team membership, operationalized by the number of the teams an employee is part of simultaneously, and work–family conflict is mediated in parallel by work-related well-being and burnout. Data were collected through a cross-sectional design from 278 participants using self-report instruments. The results of the mediation analysis show that the number of teams an employee is a part of simultaneously is not linearly associated with work-related well-being, burnout and work-family conflict. Also, work-related well-being is not significantly associated with work-family conflict. Conversely, an increased level of burnout is associated with increased work-family conflict. However, work-related well-being and burnout are not mediators of the relationship between the number of the teams an employee is part of simultaneously and work-family conflict. The theoretical, practical and methodological implications of these findings are discussed and future research directions are proposed.

Authors: Chakti Andi Gunawan Ratu
Published: October 2022

This study aims to examine the effect of competence, independence, and professionalism on the performance of the regional inspectorate apparatus and examine the auditor's compliance with the Professional Standards of Public Accountants (SPAP). The general problem in this study is that the audit findings were not detected by the inspectorate apparatus as internal auditors, but were found by the external auditor, namely the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK). Operationally, research variables are described in several indicators. The variable of apparatus competence is translated into three indicators, namely mastery of accounting and auditing standards, governance insights, and skills improvement programs. The variable of apparatus independence is translated into two indicators, namely personal disturbances and external disturbances. The variable of apparatus professionalism is translated into four indicators, namely: dedication to the profession, social obligation, independence, and confidence in the profession. The audit performance variable is translated into four indicators, namely: process quality, result quality, and audit follow-up.The population of this research is Makassar City Regional Inspectorate apparatus who follow periodic inspections. Data were collected from questionnaires distributed to respondents. The variables in this study are independent variables (X1), independence (X2) and professionalism (X3), while the dependent variable is audit performance (Y). Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis (multiplerepression).The results showed that competence and professionalism had a positive and significant effect on audit performance, while the independence variable had no significant effect on audit performance. The coefficient of determination shows that competence, independence, and professionalism together contribute to the dependent variable (audit performance) of 72.2%, while the remaining 27.8% is influenced by other factors outside the model. The implication of the findings of this study on efforts to realize a quality audit is the need for professionalism to auditors regarding the urgency of a quality audit in addition to efforts to increase competence through training.
