Authors: Rama Rajeswari T. , Hemaprabha G.
Published: June 2023

This paper deals with the analysis of three phase Tsource inverter by using different control techniques to minimize the switching losses. T-source impedance network is developed to overcome the drawbacks of Z-source inverter. TSource inverter has low reactive components in comparing with ZSI. The Total harmonic distortion (THD) of output voltage for both the control methods has been analyzed by using FFT analysis. The maximum constant boost pulse width modulation (PWM) control method has more voltage gain and less voltage stress compared to other techniques. The experiments are done and the results are shown for capacitor voltage, load current and load line voltage for simple boost, constant boost control technique and space vector modulation PWM techniques are presented using MATLAB/Simulink.
Noise Estimation and Reduction in Heart Sounds Using Time Frequency Block Thresholding Method
Authors: Vishwanath Shervegar M.
Published: June 2023

In this paper a novel method of de-noising phonocardiogram by time-frequency Overlapping Group Shrinkage method is described. In this method sigma, the standard deviation of the stationary noise present in a noisy phonocardiogram is found using activity detection. This noise is then canceled by attenuating it in the time frequency domain. The accuracy of noise reduction is measured by SNR. Overlapping Group shrinkage algorithm reduces the effect of noise by attenuating them using hard or soft thresholding. Performance of this method was found to be far better compared to other methods such as Soft Thresholding and Block Thresholding.

Authors: Prasanthi D.
Published: June 2023

Input vector monitoring online testing schemes perform testing during the normal operation of the circuit. These schemes are evaluated based on hardware overhead and concurrent test latency (CTL), also well suited for modules requiring exhaustive testing, such as Read Only Memories (ROMs). In this work we present an input vector monitoring concurrent BIST scheme specially designed for the testing of ROM modules along with an error detecting unit which can detect error of corresponding bit position. By using circuitry already existing for the memory module, the hardware overhead, power and the delay, compared to previously proposed schemes, is significantly reduced.

Statistical Quality Analysis of Wavelet Based SAR Images in Despeckling Process
Authors: Singh Prabhishek , Shree Raj
Published: June 2023

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are mainly denoised by multiplicative speckle noise, which is due to the consistent behavior of scattering phenomenon known as speckle noise. This paper presents the basic concept, role and importance of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) in the field of despeckling SAR images and also offers a study of SAR image quality on applying DWT on the speckled image and log transformed speckled image. Log transform operation plays a decisive and comfortable role in despeckling SAR images as this operation changes the multiplicative behavior of the speckle noise to an additive which enables to use the additive noise restoration model efficiently. Wavelet transform has now become important in the field of image restoration although being in practice for a decade. Wavelet transform allows both time and frequency analysis simultaneously around a particular time. This transform is most appropriate for the non-stationary signals, so it deals with satellite imagery in a more efficient manner. The major part of this paper is revolving around DWT image decomposition with its role and practical implementation on the speckled image and log transformed speckled image. All the experimental results are performed on the SAR images.
Rheometric Analysis of Impact of Temperature, Volume Fraction and Mass of Nanoparticle on the Viscosity of Water Based Nanofluids
Authors: Ramesh Krishnan S.
Published: June 2023

Nanoparticle volume fraction, temperature and molecular mass of nanoparticle impact viscosity of nanofluids. Among them, temperature has an intrinsic influence on viscosity and is recommended to be the most crucial and dominant parameter. There are several theory based models for finding viscosity of nanofluids. Even a small addition of nanoparticles to the base liquid greatly increases the viscosity of nanofluid. The viscosity of the nanofluid varies with the particle size even if the nanoparticle does not change. In this work, theoretical viscosity of nanofluid is compared with experimental viscosity at different temperatures and volume fraction. The analysis is done for nanofluids having nanoparticles of different molecular masses.

Published: June 2023

We trained twelve rural female coolie workers as assistant masons through S-React model training program. We want to find out the effectiveness of such programs whether it would be useful to other construction workers, particularly women coolie workers. With these objectives, we prepared and administered a questionnaire to construction workers, supervisors and others. The questionnaire use items with five point Likert scale, covering barriers of skill development of general and construction workers, training environment of female construction workers, cost of training and training methodology adopted in the model training program. Consolidation and comparison of feedback based on gender show that perceptions of female and male are very similar in many cases. There are few items where the differences in their perceptions are significant. The findings are that female construction workers can be given proper motivation, improve their literacy and numeracy, train them in trades of their liking, and provide practical training near or at their work places with the help of supervisors and engineers. Cost of training and sharing of the cost are important issues. We recommend 15- days compulsory training every year to every female worker of construction industry. The S-REACT training program is a baby step solution addressing some of the concerns of skill development of female workers and coolie workers.

Introduction: Elderly patients with acute pancreatitis have longer hospital length of stay (HLOS) and higher mortality compared to adult patients. We aimed to assess the optimal timing to operate for acute pancreatitis and to evaluate the relationship between HLOS and mortality. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of 110,289 elderly patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis requiring emergency admission using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) between 2005–2014. The ICD9 code 577.0 was used to select patients with a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Stratified analysis was performed to compare male versus female, survived versus deceased, and no operation versus operation. Multivariable logistic regression models were created to assess independent risk factors of mortality. Generalized additive models (GAM) were created to assess the linearity of the relationship between HLOS and in-hospital mortality. Results: The mean age of the cohort was 76 years old, and 56.3% were female. The mean frailty index was 1.65. Twenty-five percent of patients underwent an operation, with a mean time to operation being 3.44 days for females and 3.77 days for males. Overall mortality was 2.3%. For patients who had an operation, each additional day of delay until operation increased the odds of mortality by 8.8%. Each additional point for the modified frailty index increased the odds of mortality by 30.2%. HLOS had a non-linear relationship with mortality, with an estimated degree of freedom of 22.05 and a nadir at three to seven days. Each additional day in hospital after day seven increased the odds of mortality by 6.7%. Conclusions: In those who required an operation, every day of delay in operation increased the odds of mortality by almost 9%. The lowest mortality for elderly patients with acute pancreatitis occurred with a hospital length of stay of three to seven days. After seven days, each additional day increased the odds of mortality by 6.7%.

WYSTAWA W LABOLATORIUM CENTRUM SZTUKI WSPÓŁCZESNEJ W 1992 ROKU, CZYLI GNOSTYCYZM W TWÓRCZOŚCI ZBIGNIEWA LIBERY
Authors: Kozioł Wiktoria
Published: June 2023

Artykuł dotyczy pierwszej indywidualnej wystawy Zbigniewa Libery (kurator: Marek Goździewski, Laboratorium Centrum Sztuki Współczesnej Zamek Ujazdowski, 1992). Artysta zaprezentował trzy instalacje: Minuta milczenia – Minuta milczenia; Model końca; La baigneur (KąpielowiczBez tytułu [Pathos] wraz z fragmentami tekstów. Głównym celem badawczym tekstu jest interpretacja tych prac. Została w nim zastosowana klasyczna metoda ikonologiczna Erwina Panofsky’ego. Jako kontekst ikonograficzny wskazano gnozę i gnostycyzm. Warstwa ikonologiczna dotyczy natomiast trzech aspektów: 1) traumy nieobecności żałoby w zmodernizowanym świecie oraz filozoficznego problemu relacji umysłu i ciała, radzenia sobie z trudnym dziedzictwem przeszłości; 2) krytyki działań Kościoła rzymskokatolickiego jako instytucji w kontekście radzenia sobie instytucji z herezjami; 3) zainteresowania alternatywną duchowością w latach 90.
O ZWROCIE ROMANTYCZNYM W POLSKIEJ SZTUCE. SZTUKA WSPÓŁCZESNA A TRADYCJA ROMANTYCZNA – ZARYS PROBLEMATYKI
Authors: Kudelska3 Marta
Published: June 2023

Artykuł jest próbą refleksji na temat związków między polską sztuką współczesną a tradycją romantyczną, rozumianą jednak nie w swojej mesjanistycznej, prometejskiej odsłonie, ale w konwencji tzw. czarnego romantyzmu i treści niesamowitych, obecnych w ówczesnych tekstach kultury. Artykuł analizuje sztukę tworzoną w ostatnich latach, którą coraz częściej wypełniają nadrealne postaci charakterystyczne dla utworów romantycznych: zjawy, widma, duchy, wampiry, upiory, ale także wiedźmy i czarownice. Bada, skąd wziął się w sztuce ostatnich lat ten wyraźny zwrot w stronę nadrealnych, niesamowitych treści.
ARTYŚCI I ANTROPOZOFIA. NA PRZYKŁADZIE ŚRODOWISK ARTYSTYCZNYCH WARSZAWY, KRAKOWA I LWOWA 1. POŁOWY XX WIEKU

Jednym z czynników określających charakter sztuki początku XX. wieku był rozwój nauk okultystycznych, które na początku XX wieku znalazły się w centrum europejskiej debaty światopoglądowej. Ezoteryzm przyciągał ludzi usiłujących zrozumieć siebie i świat, poszukujących prawdy i sensu życia. Jedną z najbardziej inspirujących nauk ezoterycznych okazała się dla artystów antropozofia. Proponowane przez Rudolfa Steinera odważne koncepcje artystyczne budziły zainteresowanie w środowiskach artystycznych Warszawy, Lwowa i Krakowa. Wielu polskich twórców, zafascynowanych wizjonerskimi projektami Steinera obejmującymi architekturę, wzornictwo przemysłowe, rzeźbę, witrażownictwo, grawerowanie szkła czy nowe formy sceniczne (tzw. eurytmia), aktywnie działało w grupach antropozoficznych, uczestnicząc w wykładach prowadzonych przez Doktora, organizowanych w całej Europie.
Colonial Policy of Russia and Samachablo
Authors: SOSİASHVİLİ Giorgi
Published: June 2023

The political history of Samachablo (Didi Liakhvi Gorge) is closely related to the fight of the representatives of the Georgian Royal House and the feudal aristocracy against the Russian authorities that had become active since 1802. Although several members of the clan of the Machabeli feudal lords were in the service of the Russian government, their overall attitude was sharply anti-Russian. The Machabels took an active position in the actions against Russia’s colonial policy and fought in support of members of the Kartli-Kakheti Royal House. The rebellious Georgian princes tried to form a united front against the Russians. In the pursuit of the common goal of the Caucasians, they also relied on the support of the Ossetians, which were loyal to the Royal House. Georgian historical sources have retained a lot of information on the active relations of the Georgian kings with the Ossetians living in the North Caucasus, which often fought side by side with the Georgians during the invasions of foreign enemies. The Emperor’s Court of Russia exerted a political pressure on the small nations in the Caucasus region. Ossetians also could not escape the Russian aggression. The German traveller Güldenstädt narrates of the Ossetian population's confrontation with Russian troops that often resulted in casualties on the part of the Ossetians. The support from Ossetians for Georgia occupied by Russia soon became evident. Vakhtang Batonishvili, who rebelled in 1802, was actively assisted by Ossetians from Tagauri, because of which, Russian General Tuchkov imposed economic sanctions on the Ossetians. This meant that the Ossetians were prevented from importing grains from the lowland. This was, of course, a major blow to the Ossetians living in the mountains. In 1804, Governor-General Tsitsianov also tried to block the road for the Ossetians from Tagauri in order to prevent them from connecting further to Georgia. Russia had become a common enemy for the peoples living in the Caucasus. Therefore, the representatives of the Court of the Kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti tried to take mutual efforts against Russia. Georgian princes placed special hopes on the Ossetians, which were their historical allies.

No mundo, vários estudos indicam elevada morbimortalidade associada a doenças infecciosas em militares. O objetivo deste artigo foi conhecer os riscos biológicos nas atividades de militares do Exército Brasileiro e discutir o papel do médico veterinário militar nas ações de Proteção à Saúde da Força. Realizou-se um estudo ecológico cujo destaque se deu nas 12 Regiões Militares da Força, analisando dados de doenças de notificação compulsória em militares, referentes ao ano de 2017 e 2018. Comparou-se as notificações e o risco relativo para os agravos em militares em relação à população em geral. Os resultados mostraram que as arboviroses transmitidas pelo mosquito Aedes spp. tiveram as maiores notificações entre os militares e verificou-se que o risco relativo foi maior nessa categoria em vários agravos. A principal hipótese para isso é a maior exposição a zoonoses durante a realização das atividades militares. O veterinário, portanto, é habilitado para exercer o papel de oficial de saúde, atuando na prevenção e controle dos riscos biológicos.

Objective: The measurement of prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) is a noninvasive and inexpensive practice, which may improve the accurate diagno- sis of prostate cancer. The incidence of prostate cancer in Thailand is relatively low compared with that in Western countries. Therefore, a blanket adoption of the Western cutoff value (PSAD 0.15 ng/ml/cm3) is inapplicable and can lead to unnecessary biopsies. The aim of this study was to determine an optimal PSAD cutoff value for effective diagnosis in Thai men. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively studied transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies from 542 men with intermediate PSA concentrations ranging from 4 to 10 ng/ml, carried out from January 2011 to January 2017. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AuROC) was used to evaluate the efficacy of PSAD for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Results: In Thai men who had intermediate PSA concentrations, the AuROC was higher for PSAD in comparison to that of PSA (0.692 vs 0.544). The AuROC using the PSAD cutoff value = 0.20 ng/ml/cm3 was higher than that using the PSAD cutoff value = 0.15 ng/ml/cm3 (0.652 vs 0.626). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive values were 67.33%, 62.13%, 29.95%, and 89.15%, respectively. Conclusion: PSAD improved the diagnosis of prostate cancer in Thai men with intermediate PSA concentrations. The optimal cutoff value was 0.20 ng/ml/cm3.
