Patients who contract the disease should avoid contact with other people. One way to do this is to self-isolate at home. The family of the patient who cares for the activities that are carried out in self-isolation to find out the condition of the patient's condition, his condition is improving or deteriorating. To avoid direct contact, the patient's activity, independently, can be monitored by remotely predicting changes in patient activity using an Internet of Things-based remote monitoring system for self-isolating patient activities. This cellular-based monitoring system uses an accelerometer sensor to retrieve data on changes in patient activity and analyzes the effect of several variations in the number of data samples and sliding-windows on the accuracy of the system in predicting changes in patient activity. Variations in the number of N samples tested were 4,6,8,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90 and 100 samples, while the sliding-window N variation tested was 1 ,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 samples where there is a change in activity every 30 seconds for 330 seconds (10 changes in activity) for each number of N samples and N sliding windows. The results shown are N sample data = 6 providing the highest activity change prediction accuracy, amounting to 90.15%, while N sliding window data = 6 providing the highest activity change prediction accuracy, amounting to 92.72%.

Published: August 2022

Regulation of the Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Permendikbud Ristek) Number 30 of 2021 was launched as a form of government efforts in the context of preventing and handling sexual violence in universities. However, it turns out that this regulation has generated various reactions from the community, most of them support it while others reject the ratification of this regulation. Technological developments that occur today encourage people to write their opinions on social media, one of which is Twitter. Tweets discussing this rule can be used to gauge public sentiment. However, considering the number of tweets, the classification process will be difficult to do manually, so it requires a computational system that can automatically classify the sentiments of the existing tweets. From these problems, a system is designed to perform sentiment analysis using the lexicon-based method and Multinomial Naïve Bayes. The results of this sentiment measurement can be useful as data analysis material for the Ministry of Education and Culture, Research and Technology in making decisions regarding this rule. The purpose of this research is to measure the value of accuracy, precision, recall, and f-measure in sentiment analysis using lexicon-based and Multinomial Naïve Bayes methods. The measurement results obtained using a dataset of 470 data are the accuracy value of 71.28%, precision of 70.10%, recall of 78%, and f-measure value of 74.29%.

SOME REMARKS REGARDING PRONUNCIATION OF THE SOUND /Ʀ/ BY THE INITIAL RUS’
Authors: Egorov V.B.
Published: August 2022

Pronunciation of the Scandinavian Younger Futhark’s rune Ýr, conventionally transcribed as /ʀ/, varied in Old Norse dialects. In the western dialect, this consonant merged with /r/ due to the active rhoticism; while eastern dialects, including a dialect presumably spoken by the initial Rus’ after its origination (in the Viking Era), probably preserved it as a separate phoneme. Some pronunciation features of the sound /ʀ/ by the initial Rus’ were indirectly emerged in foreign-language rendering cases of certain Rus’ words. The article considers examples of such renderings: a few Rus’ proper names in Constantine Porphyrogenitus’ De Administrando Imperio as well as the presumptive Rus’ self-naming in Geografus Bavarus and Finnish-language reproductions. With regard to restrictions of the alphabets involved in the discussed examples, an assumption was proposed that the initial Rus’ pronounced the sound /ʀ/ as a palate-alveolar (or even alveo-palatal) sibilant with the uncompleted rhoticism.
THE ANALYSIS OF PHONETIC ELISION: APHAERESIS ELISION, SYNCOPE ELISION AND APOCOPE ELISSON IN ARABISMS IN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE IN THE PHONETIC PROCESS
Authors: Moradi Maryam
Published: August 2022

Arabisms in the structure of Russian language are adapted and assimilated when emerging into the lexical system of Russian language as well as other loaned words. The goal of this article is to analyze the process of elision in Arabisms which emerged into Russian language via adaptation process. The material of article is The Arabisms of foreign language dictionary published in 1984 and edited by A.G. Spirkin. The method of research is comparative study. It is shown that elision in the Arabisms are seen in seven categories: Aphaeresis elision (two cases); Consonant syncope elision (twelve cases); vowel syncope elision (five cases); alveolar dental plosive voiceless consonant apocope elision in final position of last syllable (thirteen cases); apocope elision of Hamzah in the final position of last syllable (three cases); simultaneous apocope elision and lenition of other consonants (three cases); apocope elision of vowels (two cases).
INDICATORS OF CATEGORIAL SEMANTICS OF ITERATIVE TAXIS (on the material of the German language)
Authors: Arkhipova I.V.
Published: August 2022

This article considers the issue of describing indicators of the categorical semantics of iterative, in particular, iterative-secondary taxis of simultaneity in modern German. Under the term «iterative-secondary taxis of simultaneity» we mean the secondary taxis values of simultaneity of the iterative (actually iterative, multiplicative, distributive) nature, combined with concomitant values of adverbial modification (modal, instrumental, medial, causal, etc.). Diagnostic indicators of the categorical semantics of the iterative-secondary taxis of simultaneity in the German language include genetically-iterative and derivational-iterative deverbatives, verbs of iterative semantics (multiplicatives, actually iteratives, diminutives, intensities, distributions, etc.), as well as iterative quantifiers, which are iterative attributes and adverbials of multiplicity, frequency, interval, usuality, counting complex, etc. The above indicators of iteration determine the actualization of the categorical semantics of various versions of the iterative-secondary taxis of simultaneity (in particular, iterative-modal, iterative-instrumental, iterative-medial, iterative-causal, iterative-concessive, iterative-conditional, iterative-final) in German.
COMMUNICATIVE AND PRAGMATIC FEATURES OF A SPEECH GENRE IN BUSINESS MASS MEDIA DISCOURSE: A CASE STUDY OF ENTREPRENEURIAL PITCHES FROM ENGLISH MEDIA
Authors: Kuzminykh Zh.O. , Krasilnikova N.V.
Published: August 2022

The paper considers the phenomenon of the entrepreneurial pitch as a speech genre of the mass media subtype of business discourse. The communicative and pragmatic specificity of the genre was explored using a sample of 30 entrepreneurial pitches from the television reality shows "Dragons' Den" (Great Britain) and "Sharks Tank" (USA, Australia). The methodology is based on studying semantics, pragmatics and style characteristics of the pitches, as well as on the methods of cognitive analysis and linguistic interpretation. The findings show that the genre of the entrepreneurial pitch, from the mass media discourse perspective, is distinguished by such discourse features as semantic and pragmatic richness, focus on a high degree of persuasive impact on the audience during the short time of a pitch session. To achieve the effect, all communication strategies and tactics employed by the speaker must be purposefully planned and implemented in accordance with the communication settings and the target audience. The results obtained can be applied in the process of teaching English, as well as in linguistic research.
ON OVERCOMING PHONETIC INTERFERENCE IN TEACHING RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Authors: Mel’nik Yu.A. , Zhurova A.V. , Russu K.S.
Published: August 2022

The article deals with the issue of interference influence of a mother tongue of students on the results in foreign pronunciation standards acquisition. Violations of language systems as a result of interference actions appear in the speech of students at all levels including phonic. Phonetic mistakes caused by interference create a peculiar foreign accent. They also may slow down skills and abilities building in all spheres of speech activity that could be an obstacle for successful communication. The importance of error prevention and correction is stressed. Such errors are caused by transference of articulatory properties and phonological principles of a mother tongue to learned language. The question of the necessity to continue the development of nationally-oriented methodology and its application at Russian as a foreign language lessons is raised. Communion oriented teaching seems to be the most appropriate while learning phonetic aspect. It lets work out the correct pronunciation of Russian sounds by foreign students enough for maintaining high level communication satisfying communication demands.
THE PLOT OF “FIRST LOVE” IN THE NOVEL OF THE SAME NAME BY I.S. TURGENEV AND THE “PICTURESQUE” ROMANTIC TRADITION
Authors: Rubtsova N.S.
Published: August 2022

The article is devoted to the realization of the picturesque plot in the story “First Love” by I. S. Turgenev. The main character of the heroine is considered according to a combination of sculptural and pictorial plans. At the same time, the key features of this image are “statuary” and artistic talent for creating a “mental picture”, which reflects the internal dynamics of the heroine's image and overcoming the initial predetermined plot. The inclusion in the plot of the story of a casually mentioned painting with Malek-Adel, the hero of the romantic French novel by M. Cotten, provokes the role-playing behavior of Turgenev's heroes and points to a traditional romantic love story with a tragic outcome.

The article is devoted to some ideological features of the popular novel “Text” by D. Glukhovsky. The two most important concepts for the novel, noted in the title, are analyzed: the meaning of revenge and compassion for enemies (mercy). In the novel, we do not find the opposition of two worlds: the real and the virtual. The virtual world is an integral part of the real world and is built according to its rules and laws. In this novel, reality with its meanness and cruelty absolutely dominates.
GOGOL’s CREATION IN POSTMODERN FILM INTERPRETATIONS
Authors: Bulavina M.O.
Published: August 2022

The article focuses on the problem of relationship between Gogol's works and film postmodernism. As you know, the postmodern versions are not at all the last among Gogol`s adaptations. The reason for this is the precedent of the writer's texts. Both contemporary postmodern film adaptations and film adaptations of the past years are studied. The report is from «The Evening on the Eve of Ivan Kupala» (Yu. G. Ilyenko) and «Mirgorod» (M. G. Ilyenko) to the director's works in the 2000s. - «The Case of Dead Souls» (P. S. Lungin), «The Viy 3D» (O. A. Stepchenko), trilogy «Gogol» (E. P. Baranov). Unlike the first two films, the subsequent ones can rightfully be attributed to postmodernism. Each of the adaptations is described depending on the peculiarities of the development of cinematography. The concepts of author`s cinema, improperly-direct subjectivity, cinematic absurdity are indicated. Consideration of Gogol`s poetics is particularly significant. This poetics is reflected through separate motifs - motifs of travel, madness, detective motifs (rumors), and also images (narrator, evil spirits) and details (clothes, food). It should be noted, however, that all of these are portrayed specifically. Through the game. The specificity of postmodern interpretations (including those that contain selected techniques of postmodernism) is to transfer the emphasis from the content to the form of the work. This is undoubtedly an important takeaway from the article.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a worldwide network of "smart gadgets" that can interact with people and other systems. It can sense and connect to their surroundings. Air pollution is a significant problem nowadays. The present monitoring techniques have poor accuracy, sensitivity and need for laboratory testing [1]. We have proposed a three-level air pollution monitoring system to address these issues with current regulations. Gas sensors, the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE), and a Wi-Fi module form the foundation of the IoT kit. Gas sensors gather information from their surroundings and send it to the Arduino IDE. It uses the Arduino Wi-Fi module to send IDE data to the cloud. We’ve also created the Android application IoT-Mobair, which enables users to access the pertinent cloud-based air quality data [3]. When the user arrives at their location, the pollution level is graded throughout the trial, if it is too high an alarm is displayed. Air quality data may also be used to predict future air quality index (AQI) values

The proposed work focuses on the design of a class F power amplifier for 433 MHz which can be used for RFID applications. Power amplifier requires high efficiency and low power dissipation, especially in wireless base stations. In this work, class F amplifier is employed to achieve high efficiency by wave shaping the drain terminal waveforms with suitable harmonic termination networks. At the drain terminal, the voltage and current waveform is shaped into square and half sinusoidal waveforms by employing a harmonics control circuit. The designed class F power amplifier using Advanced Design Software (ADS) simulator has yielded the output power of 44.5 dBm in harmonic balancing for the given input power of 30 dBm at the fundamental frequency with the gain of 14.5 dBm. It was evident from the work that the added harmonic control circuit has suppressed all other harmonics except the third harmonic frequency.

Today, organizations are using IoT devices to accurately collect real data and make better business decisions to increase customer satisfaction. The data collected should be stored and stored in a well-designed storage system, which encourages companies to review their data storage infrastructure. The company needs to store data created by the Internet of Things, and that data grows exponentially, forcing IoT to think about cloud storage for data storage. Security issues are a major concern when handling and processing data in DI and cloud environments. Secure integration of IoT and cloud computing, and introduced a model to ensure this integration. The secure database of any IoT operating system was suffers from poorly protected read and write functions, which limits data storage on any IoT platform. In addition, clouds can provide space to store a wide variety of data that plays an important role in the world of cyber security. However, large centralized systems operating in the cloud are also very vulnerable due to their power, so they can be transformed into a kind of double-edged sword. In this paper, we propose a novel secure lightweight authentication scheme for data storage (SLA-DS) in IoT and cloud server. The SLA-DS integrates IoT and cloud technology combination which mainly focuses on security issues.

In order to fulfil the demands of modern IT, it is necessary to address the many limitations of current networking infrastructures. Software Defined Network (SDN) is the new networking technique to get around these constraints. Existing Network Infrastructures use static switches, which results in a substandard utilization of the network resources, which is one of the main problems. The main issues with the present networking trend are the slow response and delays. In this research different load-balancing algorithms for Software Defined Network based Data Center network is implemented to overcome mentioned issues. The POX controller is used in the implementation and the Mininet emulator is used to simulate the network functionality. The load balancing algorithms program is written in the Python language, which is also used for creation of the network topology. Finally, Siege HTTP load testing tool is used to test network performance. The testing is focused on Quality of Service pa- rameters transaction rate, average response time and throughput. The results show that the Weighted algorithm outperforms all other considered algorithms.

Privacy is an important feature in transmission of data. Due to continuous flow of data over network, there may be a chance of attacks on sensitive data, either passive or active. To provide security, Cryptography plays a vital role by scrambling data into unreadable form. Several techniques have been developed to provide security for digital data transmission. AES is one of the efficient encryption engaged for the past decade. There is every need to improve its security mechanism periodically. In this paper we implement Transpose mix column and S-BOX Rotation to enhance efficiency. This proposed model provides more Avalanche Effect than traditional AES. Moreover, Diffusion and Confusion are crucial in Cryptography. The more the diffusion rate the more secure the data is and is shown in this proposed model. However, S-Box rotation provides more confusion. AES is most efficiently used in Wi-Fi, particularly in WPA2-PSK(AES), so enhancing security mechanism is needed.

BACKGROUND:-There is evidence that ART is associated with lipodystrophy syndrome, a disturbance of
lipid metabolism characterised by insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, and fat maldistribution, metabolic
bone disease (osteopenia and/or osteoporosis), and lactic acidosis. ART- associated dyslipidaemia is characterized by
elevated serum concentrations of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein 2(LDL-c), very low-density lipoprotein
(VLDL), and Apo lipoprotein B (apoB) and low levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL-c) constituting an atherogenic lipid

metabolic and morphological alterations occur in HIV infected patients especially in patients on HAART. The patients on
HAART had an elevated Castelli Index I, indicating an increased risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in this
population. There is need to assess lipid proles at baseline before initiation of HAART treatment and lipid prole monitoring
during therapy to monitor any rising trends. New medications with more lipid friendly proles within existing drugs such as
darunavir (PI), etravirine (NNRTI), new classes of drugs such as integrase inhibitors (raltegravir) and CCR5 inhibitors
(maraviroc) can be used to avoid dyslipidaemia.

GBM is the most common primary intracranial malignancy. Previous studies found its incidence varying
substantially by age, sex, race and ethnicity and survival also varies by country, ethnicity and treatment.
There is slight predominance in males, incidence increases with age. The standard approach of therapy is the newly
diagnosed setting include surgery followed by concurrent radiotherapy with temozolomide. The recently revised classication
of GBM is based on molecular proling notably isocitrate dehydrogenase mutation status. Our study included only patients
who had undergone surgery in our institute in the past 1 year and diagnosed with grade IV astrocytoma as per biopsy report. We
have excluded patients with other high grade tumors. We have used non-invasive brain imaging techniques such as CT scan
and MRI for visualising tumors. We have included 32 patients, 22 men and 10 women, who were diagnosed with glioblastoma
in our institute in the past 1 year . The median age of diagnosis among men is 50 years and that of women is 46 years. All of our
patients were from Eastern India. Among these, 8 men and 2 women expired within 3 months of undergoing surgery before
radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Thus, the mortality rate was nearly 31% during our study. We have found most of the patients
presenting with headache, nausea, vomiting, seizure and hemiparesis. Extent of resection has varied from patient to patient
thus leading to differences in outcome, morbidity and mortality. Outcome depends on performance status, advanced age,
eloquent location, extent of resection and availability of chemo-radiotherapy.
A CLINICAL STUDY OF ABDOMINAL WOUND DEHISCENCE

Published: August 2022

INTRODUCTION:-AWD (abdominal wound dehiscence) is a word that is widely used to describe the
separation of different layers of an abdominal wound before it has healed completely. Acute laparotomy
wound failure and burst abdomen are two more words that are used interchangeably. Wound dehiscence happens when a
wound does not develop the necessary strength to withstand the demands exerted on it. Dehiscence happens when sutures are
disrupted by external pressures, absorbable sutures dissolve too quickly, or tight sutures rip through tissues due to excessive
strain. AWD has been a long-standing problem for which no surgical unit has offered a complete solution (i.e. none of the
surgical units worldwide has reported 0 percent failure rate). However, numerous institutes around the world have been
successful in achieving and maintaining failure rates considerably below 1%. These gures, on the other hand, do not deter
researchers from continuing their efforts to solve the problem. In the last ten years, there have been a slew of publications
attempting to explain how to solve this problem. The goal of this study is to assess the prevalence of abdominal wound
dehiscence in relation to various risk factors, co-morbidities, and treatment options. The study aimed at nding out theAIM:-
prevalence of abdominal wound dehiscence with respect to demographic factors, nature of preceding surgery and different
risk factors and also to study the effective management of abdominal wound dehiscence. An Observational studyMETHODS:-
on 60 patients comprising all patients admitted to Silchar medical College and Hospital a tertiary care center in Assam within
the study period of 1st January 2021 to 31st July 2021 with diagnosed abdominal wound Dehiscence after undergoing surgical
interventions. :-The majority of the patients in this study were between the ages of 41 and 50. Majority were male.RESULTS
81.67% were operated as emergency surgery. 66.67% have undergone procedures which are classied as contaminated. (80%)
were operated with mid line incision. 58% patients with peritonitis due to hollow viscus perforation. 58.33% had
hypoalbuminemia. Malnutrition, DM, HT, pulmonary diseases, anemia etc. are important risk factors for wound dehiscence.
CONCLUSION:-Because of the poor blood supply at Linea Alba, individuals who had a midline laparotomy had a higher risk of
wound dehiscence than those who had a paramedian laparotomy. Wound dehiscence is more likely in people with a BMI
greater than 25, compared to those with a BMI less than 25. In this study wound dehiscence is mainly associated with
complications like hypoproteinemia and pulmonary complications and anaemia.

INTRODUCTION Lichen planus is a common but, unique inammatory disorder with distinctive clinical
presentation in the form of prototypic “lichenoid” papules that show peculiar colour and morphology,
develop in typical locations, manifest characteristic patterns of evolution and histopathological features. The current study was
aimed to study the clinical and histopathological patterns of variants of cutaneous lichen planus. The studyMETHODOLOGY
was carried out in the Department of Pathology, Jhalawar medical college, Jhalawar, and the cases received in the duration of 5
years from October 2016 to October 2021 were included in the study. Patients' demographic details and clinical data in terms of
duration, number, type, color, site of lesions and other associated symptoms were noted. Epidermal and dermal changes were
noted on histopathology (H & E stained skin biopsies). 73 cases of lichen planus were studied and classical lichenRESULT
planus was the most common variant observed. Other variants were lichen planus hypertrophicus, atrophicus, pigmentosus,
follicularis, actinic and linear. Most patients were in 3rd and 4th decades of life, slight female predominance was noted.
Clinically lesions were mostly pruritic with violaceous papule formation. Most patients presented within 1 to 6 months of
duration and lower extremities were most common site involved. Histopathologically basal vacuolation and band like
inltration were consistently seen features. Clinico- pathological correlation was seen in 95.89% cases. LichenCONCLUSION
planus is a common, chronic papulosquamous disorder and with dual approach of clinical and histopathological
examination, an early and precise diagnosis can be made that will help patients receive timely treatment and reduce morbidity
and risk of malignant transformation.

Authors: Kumar Gulshan , Parasmani Parasmani , Singh Gurjinder
Published: August 2022

Background: Almost every patient undergoing a major surgical procedure will experience some degree
of physiologic alteration in lung function. A postoperative pulmonary complication is dened as any
respiratory complication that occur within 48-72 hours following a surgical procedure. The relationship between preoperative
variables and postoperative pulmonary complications in surgical patients has been the subject of numerous studies.
Development of POPC is due to a combination of factors, including surgical pathology and existing comorbidities, as well as
surgical and anaesthetic management in the perioperative period. The main risk factors that have been associated with
postoperative pulmonary complication are smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, advanced age, site and duration of
surgery, obesity and comorbidity.

Neuron Specic Enolase (NSE) is a glycolytic enzyme. It is exclusively present in neurons and
neuroendocrine cells. It is an important marker to assess functional damage to neurons. Studies have
shown that NSE is more than 90% sensitive to decide the severity of stroke.
This study was conducted to compare the Serum levels of NSE and radiological imaging in assessing the severity of stroke. A
hospital based descriptive study was conducted on 60 stroke patients (<72hrs from onset) and 60 controls. Glasgow Coma
Scale (GCS) was assessed, and serum NSE was measured. Non contrast CT brain was taken. mRS scale was assessed after 30
days of onset of stroke. ROC curve analysis was done which showed a Sensitivity of 82.5% and Specicity of 82.5% for serum
levels of NSE at a cut off value 12ng/mL. NSE showed a positive correlation with mRS; negative correlation with GCS. Hence it is
advisable to measure serum NSE levels at the existing health care facilities, where CT brain is not available.

PRINCIPLES &FUNCTIONS OF CONVENTIONALS & DIGITAL X-RAYS IMAGING SYSTEMS IN DIAGNOSIS

Digital radiography (DR) is an advanced form of x-ray inspection which produces a digital radiographic image instantly
on a computer. This technique uses x-ray sensitive plates to capture data during object examination, which is
immediately transferred to a computer without the use of an intermediate cassette. The incident x-ray radiation is
converted into an equivalent electric charge and then to a digital image through a detector sensor. Compared to other
imaging devices, flat panel detectors, also known as digital detector arrays (DDAs) provide high quality digital images.
They can have better signal-to-noise ratio and improved dynamic range, which, in turn, provides high sensitivity for
radiographic applications. Flat panel detectors work on two different approaches, namely, indirect conversion and
direct conversion. Indirect conversion flat panel detectors have a scintillator layer which converts x-ray photons to
photons of visible light and utilise a photo diode matrix of amorphous silicon to subsequently convert the light photons
into an electrical charge. This charge is proportional to the number and energy of x-ray photons interacting with the
detector pixel and therefore the amount and density of material that has absorbed the x-rays. Direct conversion flat
panel detectors use a photo conductor like amorphous selenium (a-Se) or Cadmium telluride (Cd-Te) on a multi-micro
electrode plate, providing the greatest sharpness and resolution. The information on both types of detectors is read by
thin film transistors. In the direct conversion process, when x-ray photons impact over the photo conductor, like
amorphous Selenium, they are directly converted to electronic signals which are amplified and digitised. As there is no
scintillator, lateral spread of light photons is absent here, ensuring a sharper image. This differentiates it from indirect
construction.
