Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT: Nosocomial infections are acquired, during or after being hospitalized. These infections are of high importance and are responsible to cause multiple issues during treatment making the treatment prolonged and economically burdensome. Some common HAI include those caused by Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumonia. These infection are serious and are caused due to multiple factors such as antibiotic resistance, intrinsic factors and the host –environment interaction during the presence of the pathogen. Pakistan being a developing country faces many issues while tackling with nosocomial infections, these not only cause socio-economic burden but also diminish the quality of life. There is no national approach to control and manage the nosocomial infections. This review not only highlights the hospital acquired infections as a serious threat but also clearly guide to adopt a “ manageable approach” so suchpolicies can be made and implemented in the health care system to resolve the problemthrough a systematic and coherent approach.

Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT: Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) is the Gram-positive strain which is one of the major causes of laboratory acquired infections. Infections caused by staphylococcus strains are becoming more demanding to treat because many of the strains are resistant to the antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents. The aim of this study was to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of isolates of S. epidermidis which had been isolated from the microbiology laboratory of Lahore Garrison University, Lahore. Antibiotic Sensitivity against many antibiotics such as TPZ (tazobactum), ME (methicillin), CX (cefoxitin), P (penicillin), CTX (Cefotaxime), CEP (Cefepime) was determined for the identification of the most effective antibiotics against the infectious strains of S. epidermidis and zone of inhibition was measured. The results showed that out of 10 isolates, all the isolates were resistant against ME, while 9 of them were susceptible against TPZ. A remarkable difference was observed in the susceptibility pattern of S. epidermidis against TPZ rather than that of ME. Therefore, TPZ was the most effective antibiotic against the S. epidermidis infections which can be used to treat the infections. According to the present situation, the rampant use of antibiotics shouldbe prevented; otherwise it would become an uncontrollable problem to tackle these super bugs in near future.

Published: March 2022

In this study cyanide levels and factors affecting cyanide levels in various sorghum species were determined. A total of 500 samples of various sorghumspecies were collected from the crop fields of different areas of Tehsil Burewala, Pakistan. They included 100 samples each of Sorghum bicolor, S. sudanese, Jumbo grass (S. bicolor x S. sudanese hybrid), S. halepense and maize. An estimation of cyanide levels in the samples was performed spectrophotometerically using the picrate kit method. A significant difference (P<0.05) was observed between CNֿ contents of Jumbo grass (211.7±9.086 mg/kg) and S. halepense (244.9±9.659 mg/kg). Jumbo grass and S. halepense have significantly higher (P<0.05) CNֿ concentrations than S . bicolor or S. sudanese but the CNֿ contents of S. halepense were significantly higher than Jumbo grass . Maize has significantly lower (P<0.05) values of CNֿ contents (6.6±0.529 mg/kg) than any of S. bicolor, S. sudanese, Jumbo grass or S. halepense. All species showed a gradual increase in CNֿ contents with increase in height of the plants. The CNֿ contents in leaves of all plants species were significantly higher (P<0.05) than CNֿ contents of stem. In conclusion Jumbo grass and S . halepense possess higher cyanogenic potential compared to S . bicolor or S . Sudanese, and cyanide content increases gradually with increasing height of plants up to 91-100 cm. At greater heights, CNֿ content gradually decreases in all plant species. In conclusion, the CNֿ content can vary among plant species and among varieties of the same species as well as during different growth stages.

Theoretical analysis of magnetic properties and the magnetocaloric effect using the Blume-Capel model
Authors: Oliveira S. , Morais R. H. M. , Santos J. P. , Barreto F. C. Sá.
Published: March 2022

This work investigates the magnetic properties and the magnetocaloric effect in the spin-1 Blume-Capel model. The study was carried out using the mean-field theory from the Bogoliubov inequality to obtain the expressions of free energy, magnetization and entropy. The magnetocaloric effect was calculated from the variation of the entropy obtained by the mean-field theory. Due to the dependence on the external magnetic field and the anisotropy included in the model, the results for the magnetocaloric effect provided the system with first-order and continuous phase transitions. To ensure the results, the Maxwell relations were used in the intervals where the model presents continuous variations in magnetization and the Clausius-Clapeyron equation in the intervals where the model presents discontinuity in the magnetization. The methods and models for the analysis of a magnetic entropy change and first-order and continuous magnetic phase transitions, such as mean-field theory and the Blume-Capel model, are useful tools in understanding the nature of the magnetocaloric effect and its physical relevance.
Biology of maral and roe deer in the Almaty nature reserve and their quantitative dynamics

The Almaty nature reserve is home to a wide variety of mammals. Mammals of the reserve are distinguished by their biological diversity, a significant part of which is a group of ungulates. According to the results of accounting in 2019, the number of marals on the territory of the reserve was 68 individuals. The increase in the total activity of marals (reduction from autumn to winter and summer) is associated with their nutrition. The highest activity is observed in November and February. The diet of the maral depends on the seasonal and migratory nature associated with the season of the year, on the presence of certain plant species that grow in certain areas of a certain belt. In the Almaty reserve, the Siberian ROE deer is a common species. It is common in deciduous woodlands. Here, in some areas, the density is 40-45 individuals per 1000 ha. The number of ROE deer is not subject to sharp annual fluctuations, and according to the results of accounting in 2019, the number of ROE deer was 629 individuals. The life of a ROE deer is determined by many factors of the natural environment. In protected areas or in places where people do not hunt animals, they are active during the day and, conversely, they act at night and at dusk in places where hunting is developed. The temperature of the air, especially wind and humidity, will often affect the animal’s behavior. In summer, during high temperatures in the sun, animals can get a little overheated if they graze in open areas. Therefore, in summer, ROE deer are active in the cool time of day. During the summer months, ROE deer rest during the day, sometimes changing their lying position. However, some animals feed during the day. It is known that human activity is one of the factors that significantly affect the number of marals and ROE deer. People place recreation areas in the habitats of maral and ROE deer, as a result of which the habitats of maral and ROE deer are reduced, and maral and ROE deer are forced to migrate to places that are not favorable for them. The relatively stable number and decline in the number of marals and ROE deer in the Almaty reserve suggests that the maral and ROE deer, in some years migrate to the Kungei side, rarely return or leave without returning back to the reserve. In 2013-2019, the results of accounting show that the number of marals is relatively stable, while the number of the Siberian population has slightly decreased. Data has yet to be collected on the field work carried out.
Alien species and the need to maintain the “black book of the fauna of kazakhstan”
Authors:   Institute of Zoology Republic of Kazakhstan, Kovshar A.F.
Published: March 2022

The habitats of biological species have never been unchanged, their configuration gradually changed under the influence of certain changes in the environment. With the advent of man, the speed of such changes began to increase, since man purposefully spread, brought into new places those species of plants or animals that he considered useful. The term “alien species” hardly needs any explanation. In fact, this is a biological species alien to this ecosystem, which disturbs the established connections between the individual members of this ecosystem. In Kazakhstan, the problem of alien species is no less acute than in Russia, but so far nothing has been done in this regard, as in the neighboring Central Asian states. However, before starting individual specific projects (or rather, completely independently of them), it is necessary to systematize and classify all data on alien species of fauna on the territory of Kazakhstan. Without such an inventory, it is difficult to expect success in such an important endeavor. And here I would like to emphasize that all alien species, without exception, are subject to inventory, and not only the most malicious pests. After all, it is no secret that many species enter a new territory for them due to natural reasons (take, for example, the arrival of birds) or as a result of passive drift (sea currents or air masses), as well as delivery by transport. Many of them, due to their rarity and scarcity, do not pose a threat to ecosystems, but this does not cease to be alien species. All of them should be registered in the general list of alien species, and already in it, their classification should be carr monitoring and control. Such work does not require any special funding, it can be done by specialists — each in his own field — and as soon as possible (meaning the compilation of an exhaustive list of alien species).

Published: March 2022

As our fossil sources of electricity reduce consistently, then looking for alternative electricity solutions turns into crucial. Solar cells often made from expensive materials, which is why much research focused on finding cheaper materials to reduce the overall cost of solar energy. Another way to overcome this problem is to use a solar concentrator - a cheaper light-absorbing material that covers a large area, which absorbs, directs, and focuses the light to a smaller area that contains actual solar cells. The interest in exploiting solar electricity for photovoltaic energy has grown dramatically in the latest years, furthermore essential improvements inside the solar cells’ efficiency with luminescent up or down converters have currently anticipated theoretically. While solar cells are still expensive, fewer of them needed to produce a certain amount of electricity because they receive more sunlight. This paper gives, in short, evaluate the usage of luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) as opportunity electricity has low fees and comfortable as compared with photovoltaic solar panels, reviewing extra benefits in actual existence applications primarily in high structures home windows and displays of electronic devices.

Published: March 2022

Someone will learn better if the person concerned understands his character in learning. Individuals in learning have various ways; some learn by listening, some learn by reading, and some learn by discovering. These diverse ways of learning by students are known as learning styles. Kolb's learning style is divided into four types, namely converge, assimilator, diverge, accommodator. The purpose of the study was to determine the profile of student learning styles of the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Makassar, which is divided into 9 (nine) study programs. Samples taken with an error rate of 5 percent were 177 students. Purposive sampling is used as a sampling technique with special considerations so that it is feasible to be used as a sample. The research measures four types of learning styles, namely Active Experimentation (AE), Concrete Experience (CE), Reflective Observation (RO), and Abstract Conceptual (AC). The results showed that the accommodator learning style was more dominant in students. Of the eight majors that became the research subjects, seven tended to the accommodator learning style, and only one tended to the assimilator learning style. The accommodator learning style combines the poles of active experimentation (doing) and concrete experience (feeling). The use of learning methods following the learning style is Problem-Based Learning which involves all students in the learning process.

Identifying Key Elements of a Sentence for Key Idea with the Help of Connectives under Constructivism
Authors: Yu Shuying
Published: March 2022

Most people want to be able to read their reading materials quicker and remember them effectively. Covering a large quantity of reading materials at a normal speed requires much more time than is usually available. Good readers, however, can cover a lot of materials by identifying key elements of a sentence for key idea with the help of connectives when skimming. Constructivism theory emphasizes that students need to actively construct the meaning of their knowledge they have learned, and actively explore and discover knowledge. Syntax is the core of the whole language system with syntactic structure occupying a macroscopic and important position in improving students’ language ability and language level in a real sense. This paper introduces and analyzes how to identify key elements of a sentence for key idea with the help of connectives under constructivism so as to find a practical and feasible reading strategy when skimming. It is advised that readers glance at secondary sentences by reading the connectives as they are helpful in getting possible additional information while successfully identifying key elements of a sentence for key idea. The method fundamentally helps students improve their reading speed and develop their skimming understanding ability. The research methods of this paper are the ones of experience, literature review, theoretical basis, the main language order and keen analysis. This paper concludes by understanding the method of identifying key elements of a sentence for key idea with the help of connectives in skimming practice when reading under constructivism theory and its role is to guide readers to apply the knowledge of subject-predicate-object grammatical rule as the main language order in the skimming practice to help readers to get the general meaning of a sentence, paragraph, passage and a text.
Relativity of π as a Function of the Rotation of N-Sided Unit Polygons

This article presents a new way to determine the value of π, using as an approach the area formed by the interference pattern of several rotating unit squares. The same approach is then applied to other N-sided unit polygons (i.e., triangles, pentagons and hexagons) to investigate how they affect this proportionality between circularity and linearity to a degree other than orthogonal (i.e., when the system axes do not form a right-angle, expressible in the new method as an approach that uses squares). Applied examples involving the Earth’s size and an orbiting satellite constellation are given.
Error Prediction for Large Optical Mirror Processing Robot Based on Deep Learning
Authors: Jin Zujin , Cheng Gang , Xu Shichang , Yuan Dunpeng
Published: March 2022

Predicting the errors of a large optical mirror processing robot (LOMPR) is very important when studying a feedforward control error compensation strategy to improve the motion accuracy of the LOMPR. Therefore, an end trajectory error prediction model of a LOMPR based on a Bayesian optimized long short-term memory (BO-LSTM) was established. First, the batch size, number of hidden neurons and learning rate of LSTM were optimized using a Bayesian method. Then, the established prediction models were used to predict the errors in the X and Y directions of the spiral trajectory of the LOMPR, and the prediction results were compared with those of back-propagation (BP) neural network. The experimental results show that the training time of the BO-LSTM is reduced to 21.4 % and 15.2 %, respectively, in X and Y directions than that of the BP neural network. Moreover, the MSE, RMSE, and MAE of the prediction error in the X direction were reduced to 9.4 %, 30.5 %, and 31.8 %, respectively; the MSE, RMSE, and MAE of the prediction error in the Y direction were reduced to 9.6 %, 30.8 %, and 37.8 %, respectively. It is verified that the BO-LSTM prediction model could improve not only the accuracy of the end trajectory error prediction of the LOMPR but also the prediction efficiency, which provides a research basis for improving the surface accuracy of an optical mirror.

A Review Paper on Hadoop Architecture
Authors: Saraswat Pankaj , Raj Swapnil
Published: March 2022

Hadoop is an open-source softwareprogramming platform for storing and processing huge amounts of data. Its framework is built on Java programming, with some native C code and shell scripts thrown in for good measure. HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) is a global; highly failure file system intended to operate on low-cost commodity hardware. Big Data is the term used to describe this massive amount of data. In a world where data is generated at such a rapid pace, it must be preserved, evaluated, and dealt with. It is a subproject of the Apache Hadoop project. HDFS is designed for operations with big data volumes and offers high accessibility to application data. The main features of HDFS are discussed in this article, as well as a highlevel overview of the HDFS structure. Hadoop is a technology that will be used in the future, particularly by big businesses. The quantity of data being generated is only going to grow, and the need for this software is only going to grow.

Published: March 2022

Gym has been more popular in recent years since it aids in the maintenance of one's health, increases flexibility, improves concentration, and motivates individuals to live a healthy and tranquil life. People used to practice Gym on any surface, but today they prefer to do it on a Gym mat since it offers greater comfort and ease. The primary purpose of a Gym mat is to prevent or minimize hand and foot slippage. The Gym mats that have been created so far are not automated and cannot be controlled using a speech system. The researcher suggested an automated mat that can be controlled via a speech system in this article. Temperature sensor, weight sensor, movement sensor, piezoresistive sensor, pressure sensor, vibrator, display screen, roller with direct current (DC) motor, voice system, AI camera, and AI-based controller are all included in this mat. This Gym mat is superior to the previous one since it is automated and can recommend workouts based on the user's age. The automated Gym mat has a promising future since it may be further customized by incorporating new technologies and mechanics.
"The Diagnostic Evaluation of Switchboard-corpus Automatic Speech Recognition Systems"
Authors: Solanki Madhav Singh
Published: March 2022

To see whether the related mistake patterns can be linked to a particular set of variables, a Eight Control equipment recognizing (and six forcedalignment) algorithms were evaluated for clinical diagnosis. Each recognizing service's result was converted to a standardized way and evaluated to a comparative record made from pronunciations labelled data (which included 54 minutes of information from several hundred speakers). A job evaluation was used to relate a combination of acoustic, morphological, etc. speaker attributes to acknowledgment occurrences throughout this reference data. The decision trees show that correct categorization of phonetic segments and characteristics is one of the most constant variables linked with better recognition performance. These findings indicate that enhancing the pronouncing modelling used in verbal pairing, including the acoustic modeling techniques utilized for morphological classification, might improve future-generation recognition systems.

The attendance system is essential in schools and colleges. There are several drawbacks to manual attendance systems, including the fact that they are less dependable and difficult to maintain. This enhances accuracy while requiring less time than previous ways using an attendance system using facial recognition technology. There are several current attendance systems, such as IoT facial detection, PIR, and so on. For facial recognition, hardware devices are also helpful. The problem is to ensure that all sensors function well without damage. The aim is to use the hair cascade algorithm to create a system with the best accuracy of all of the methods and methods. Images may be taken between 50 and 70 cm away. A graphical user interface is meant to let users with one click to collect images, build datasets and train datasets. After recognition of the face, it shows the student's name and roll number. In the attendance sheet, the information is automatically provided together with the date and time.

A Qualitative Content Analysis Of How Vulnerable Eu-Citizens Are Portrayed In Swedish Media
Authors: Arasu Dr R.
Published: March 2022

On 30 April 2004 The Eu Directive 2004/38/Ec Entered Into Force And Defined Eu-citizens’ right to free movement within the European Union. This directive gives EU-citizens the right to move freely between member states in up to three months. In order to reside for a longer period, the EU-citizens must comply to a certain set ofrules and qualifications. They must either be employed, registered as students or possess enough economic capital so that neither themselves nor their family risk being a burden on the social assistance system of the host member state. The directive sets up a legal frameworkwhere individuals not qualifying are theoretically experiencing their movement somewhat restricted. Furthermore, the people not qualifying within the directive’s requirements are at risk of being depicted as unwanted EU-citizens in political discourses. In this article I examine this phenomenon with a specific focus on the group vulnerable EU-citizens in Sweden and how they are portrayed in Swedish media.
