A new approach for predicting seam strength
Authors: JAOUADI MOUNIR , MSAHLI SLAH , JEDDA HANEN
Published: July 2024

Owing to a high amount of stress, seam failure in workwear fabrics makes the fabric unsuitable although the fabric
strength is high. It is therefore important to predict the seam strength to ascertain the performance of the garments
during use and determine the required thread strength to match the required seam strength. An assembly is composed
of a sewing thread and a fabric. The thread forming the seam undergoes several stresses during its passage from the
sewing machine to the formation of the loop and when wearing the garment: these are mechanical stresses. Therefore,
it is necessary to evaluate the strength of the seam. But, in the bibliography, most researchers have studied the strength
of the seam concerning a single type of stitch. This work aimed to examine the seam's strength from the resistance to
the loop of the thread for all types of stitches. In all of the earlier predictive equations, seam strength is predicted from
thread loop strength with some multiplicative factors. The thread loop strength is measured without considering the stitch
type. During the sewing process, threads loop differently from one stitch to another, therefore, the standard thread loop
strength becomes unfit to predict the seam strength. In this paper, the effects of loop thread length and configuration are
studied on thread loop strength and seam strength. The seam strengths predicted from the loop strength before and
after considering the new loop configurations and the real seam strength are compared. So, new clamps for loop
strength are configured and carried out. It is observed that there is a closer match between experimental and predicted
seam strength with new loop configurations. The loop configuration has a significant effect on the thread loop strength
and improves the accuracy of seam-strength prediction.
Application of Sodium silicate as a halogen-free flame-retardant and evaluate

Authors: AHRARI MAZYAR , ERKOC ERTUGRUL , KUT Y. DILEK
Published: July 2024

A halogen-free flame-retardant was synthesized using Silica gel and Sodium hydroxide within the scope of the study.
The Polypropylene (PP) fabric was treated with the synthesized Sodium Silicate to investigate its thermal behaviour. The
limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of the Polypropylene fabrics dramatically increased after finishing with Sodium silicate
and the 50.4% noteworthy LOI value was achieved. The Sodium silicate-treated PP fabrics exhibited a 30.1% LOI value
even after washing, compared to the neat PP LOI value which was reported to be 16.4%. The surface modification of
the Polypropylene fabric following the plasma treatment was evaluated by elemental mapping, surface topography
images, and contact angle measurements and the homogeneity of the Sodium silicate coating was evaluated by
Scanning electron microscopy.

Published: July 2024

This research study makes efforts to find the correlation between the prices of commodities in MCX and the prices of
stocks by considering the textile companies and allied commodities in the commodities market. The study examined
whether the price of cotton and kapas in the commodities market i.e., Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), might have
an effect on the stock prices of textile companies in India using the ARDL Model. The secondary data related to cotton
and kapas prices are downloaded from the MCX website. Similarly, the data related to the closing prices of stocks of
India's top five textile companies based on market capitalization, are downloaded from the website of Kotak Securities.
All the ARDL models for the short run are considered as too weak as the coefficient of determination and adjusted
R-squared are too low.

Published: June 2024

This paper identiﬁes the intrinsic and extrinsic fac-tors that inﬂuence consumers to purchase organic products, and also determines the barriers that sometimes prevent university student millennials from purchasing this type of product. The research had a qualitative approach and the information was collected through semi-structured interviews, thir-ty-two university student millennials from Ecua-dor and Peru participated in the study and the data was coded using the Grounded Theory. The ﬁnd-ings determined that intrinsic factors (environmen-tal knowledge, environmental awareness, habits, health and values) and extrinsic factors (family inﬂu-ence, social inﬂuence, fear of COVID-19 infection), are the main factors that motivate the consumption of organic products. The study also determined that factors such as availability, price, and skepticism are occasional barriers to the purchase of this type of product. Regarding the originality value, the main contributions of this study are to be one of the ﬁrst studies in Ecuador and Peru using the Grounded Theory to determine the conceptualisation that millennials have about organic products, as well as learning the inﬂuential factors and the existing barriers in the purchase behaviour of organic products in Ecuador and Peru.

Mercurio retrógrado es un fenómeno astronómico que hace que parezca que el planeta ha cambiado de dirección. Se dice que este fenómeno genera caos en el comportamiento de las personas provocando que estén sensibles y más susceptibles de lo normal. Este caos podría afectar al sentimiento del inversor y provocar decisiones de inversión irracionales y por tanto poco rentables. En este artículo se describe un sistema swing de trading algorítmico en el futuro del Ibex 35, que toma una posición corta cuando se entra en fase de Mercurio retrógrado. Los resultados del back test realizado a lo largo de los últimos cinco años muestran que el sistema es rentable y que el sentimiento provocado por este fenómeno astronómico afecta a los mercados ﬁnancieros.
Generation Z and “Quiet Quitting”: Rethinking onboarding in an era of employee disengagement
Authors: Ochis Karina
Published: June 2024

Why are Generation Z employees quiet quitting? A potential answer is related to Generation Z disen-gagement. Quiet quitting is troublesome for com-panies with growing numbers of young recruits checking out emotionally from work. Literature about aggrieved company cultures discusses quiet quitting, the name Generation Z employees use for a form of disengagement. Nevertheless, there is a lack of empirical research on Generation Z disengagement. Moreover, there is a lack of qualitative research on quiet quitting and disengagement in general with existing recommendations originating from quantitative studies that do not examine the core nature of the phenomenon. The original-ity of the research stems from studying two interrelated issues: the characteristics of Generation Z disengagement and the characteristics of Genera-ion Z employee integration frameworks that consider their employee lifecycle. This paper discusses quiet quitting as a form of Kahn’s (1990) disengagement and a dimension of Generation Z’s exit, voice, loyalty, neglect (EVLN) model characteristic. The study follows a qualitative methodology. Firstly, grounded theory is employed to extract data from Generation Z employees and their managers and compare perceptions of the former’s disengagement and engagement. The research sample consisted of 75 participants. Secondly, unstructured observation was employed through a cohort longitudinal study of ten Generation Z employees at work over two years. The lifecycle of Generation Z employees is shown to be approximately one year. The research illustrates the Generation Z employee lifecycle curve and classiﬁes the Generation Z employee engagement phases. Moreover, the study introduces a framework for integrating Generation Z within companies.

Community development focuses on improving the quality of life and well-being of individuals and communities. This exploratory study used a descriptive research design and mixed methods research strategy. The study uses primary and secondary data, including questionnaires and interviews with front-line police, intermediate and senior officials, and unpublished documents from verified organizations such as the AAPC. The quantitative approach focuses on the degree to which community policing is applied, while qualitative approaches identify obstacles to successful deployment. This research aimed to provide unbiased descriptions of experiences in natural settings. However, the increase in crime has reduced public confidence and security, leading to low levels of human well-being. The Ethiopian government has worked to identify the root cause of the problem and implement initiatives to ensure smooth operations. Police have involved community participation in problem-solving partnerships, and various community programs have been organized to provide knowledge and skills in handling crime-related cases. This has enhanced community confidence and overall well-being.

Published: June 2024

Lymphoma is the second most common malignant tumor of the head and neck after squamous cell carcinoma. Involvement of the tonsils is relatively rare. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the most frequent histological type. Unilateral tonsillar hypertrophy is the most common manifestation. Histopathology confirms the diagnosis. Our study includes thirteen cases of tonsillar lymphoma over a seven-year period, from January 2017 to December 2023. Cervical lymphadenopathy was present at the time of diagnosis in 62% of cases. Distant metastases were present in 69% of cases. The chemotherapy protocol used in our series was R-CHOP. A complete remission was observed in 62% of cases over a five-year follow-up period. Tonsillar lymphoma is an aggressive tumor, and tonsillar biopsy or tonsillectomy should be performed urgently in cases of suspected malignancy.

Published: July 2024

Background: Gemella haemolysans is a gram-positive coccus that colonizes the genitourinary system, gastrointestinal system, and upper respiratory tract as an opportunistic pathogen. Berge et al. found that the frequency of Gemella species bacteremia was 4.5 and infective endocarditis was 0.31 per 1,000,000 inhabitants yearly. We report the first case of G. haemolysans bacteremia presenting as new-onset atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (RVR) and acute respiratory failure and present a case series on G. haemolysans bacteremia and infective endocarditis.
Case Presentation: A 58-year-old male with a past medical history including aortic valve bioprosthetic replacement, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and coronary artery stenting and bypass surgery presented with shortness of breath and confusion. Examination and testing revealed a 40.4°C fever, acute respiratory failure, atrial fibrillation with RVR, congestive heart failure, lactic acidosis, and acute renal failure, with no drug use, dental wounds, or pneumonia. Diltiazem, metoprolol, aspirin, atorvastatin, insulin, heparin, and ceftriaxone were started. TTE and TEE revealed no clear vegetations. Blood cultures revealed Gemella haemolysans. He became stable after 4 days, was electrically cardioverted to sinus rhythm with first-degree AV block, progressed to complete heart block, then had a temporary pacer placed. A repeat TEE demonstrated an aortic root abscess. He underwent redo sternotomy and homograft placement with no complications and was discharged with instructions to complete a six-week course of ceftriaxone.
Discussion: Our patient presented with multiple comorbidities at a younger age compared to the mean (66) and median (70) age of the 4 bacteremia cases in our 8-case series. Preemptive antibiotic treatment may be warranted for prosthetic heart valve patients, with the possibility of urgent valve replacement surgery. Several antibiotics were previously reported in case studies with varying results. The shortest course was 16 days, with most courses lasting 4 to 7 weeks. With no standard treatment, this case series suggests G. haemolysans tends to be susceptible to beta-lactam agents.
Conclusion: Our case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and management of Gemella haemolysans bacteremia, particularly in patients with complex medical histories and prosthetic heart valves.
Effect of diethyl phthalate and lead leached from PVC water pipes in densely populated neighborhood of Lagos on Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Authors: Adegboye Olusegun Isaac
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
Background: This study investigates the possibility of PVC pipes leaching into municipal water and the effects of the amount leachates such as diethyl phthalates and lead on liver and kidney of Wistar rats.
Methods: Water samples were collected from two separate PVC pipes distributing water aged 10 and 2 years respectively from two households in Akoka, Yaba area of Lagos State. Sixteen Wistar rats each (sex ratio 1:1) were orally administered 0.079mg/L of lead, 0.57μl/L of diethyl phthalate and a mixture of lead and diethyl phthalate using the same dosage in water. For control, Sixteen Wistar rats with the same sex ratio were orally administered deionized water. Using the Dunnett's multiple comparisons test,  control population were compare with treated population for the third and sixth week, the results showed a significant difference between the treatments and control model animal (P <0.05).  
Results: Water analysis showed higher concentration of lead (0.079mg/L) and diethyl phthalate (0.57μl/L) in the 10-year-old pipe than the 2-year-old pipe with 0.069mg/L and 0.034μl/L of lead and diethyl phthalate, respectively. The level of phthalate was 17 times higher in old pipes than the new ones. Blood biochemistry and hematology analyzed. Histopathological studies done on the liver and kidney of the rats. The levels of aspartate transferase (AST) (129±2mg/dL), protein (90.67±1.53mg/dL), total bilirubin (44.33±1.15mg/dL), and globulin (54.33±1.15mg/dL) in the serum were highest in rats which suggest hyper-toxicity and possible organ failure.
Conclusion: Liver and kidney problem in Nigeria might connected with drinking water contaminated with PVC pipes leachates.

Hybrid Deep Learning Models for AIDS Prediction
Authors: Andi Hari Krishnan
Published: June 2024

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) consistently ranks as a leading cause of mortality. Effective prevention methodologies include early detection techniques. Controlling infectious diseases is important due to their potential to cause epidemics or pandemics, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis. This necessity has prompted researchers to develop models aimed at improving disease diagnosis. Traditional clinical prediction models rely on patient-specific characteristics. For infectious illnesses, sources other than the patient, such as previous patient characteristics and seasonal variables, may increase prediction performance. This study predicts infectious diseases by optimizing the settings of deep learning algorithms while taking into account big data, which includes social media data. The collected findings indicate the proposed LSTM model achieves the highest accuracy rate of 92%.
ATAXIA ESPINOCEREBELAR: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA SOBRE SCA1, SCA2, SCA3 E SCA6
Authors: Moreira Lemos Julia , De Mello Fernandes Jonathan Jordão , Dourado Faria Giovanna Cristina , Quevedo Ana Luíza , Lupi Junior Luiz Antonio
Published: June 2024

As ataxias espinocerebelares (SCAs) são doenças dominantes geneticamente adquiridas que causam neurodegeneração. Apesar de afetarem principalmente o cerebelo e a medula espinal, outras áreas do sistema nervoso, como os gânglios da base e o córtex cerebral, também são impactadas, comprometendo a execução precisa dos movimentos. Os sintomas incluem hipotonia postural, distúrbios oculomotores, marcha atáxica, atrofia cerebelar e disfunções respiratórias e da fala. Desde 2006, a Escala de Avaliação e Classificação de Ataxia (SARA) é usada para diagnosticar e determinar a gravidade da ataxia. Não existe cura ou terapia farmacológica aprovada para SCAs; o tratamento atual baseia-se em fisioterapia, terapia ocupacional e fonoaudiologia para melhorar marcha, coordenação e postura. Pesquisas em camundongos visam suprimir a ataxina mutante causadora de SCAs. Este trabalho revisou a literatura dos últimos cinco anos sobre epidemiologia, patogenia, diagnóstico e tratamento das SCAs. Os dados revelam que portadores de SCA2 e SCA6 apresentam redução dos volumes cerebrais antes dos sintomas clínicos, com progressão mais rápida em homens. A degeneração extracerebelar em SCA6 é menos pronunciada do que em SCA1, SCA2 e SCA3. Estudos de sequenciamento indicam subestimação das repetições CAG em SCA6. Terapias combinadas e a estimulação transcraniana por corrente contínua (ETCC) mostraram melhorias significativas nos sintomas motores e na qualidade de vida para todos os subtipos, com medidas de ressonância magnética (RM) sendo altamente sensíveis. Conclui-se que os estudos sobre SCAs são essenciais para compreender suas características, diagnósticos e tratamentos, aprimorando as abordagens terapêuticas e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Intervenções precoces, como terapias ocupacionais e uso de RM, são promissoras para o manejo eficaz dessas doenças.
