Authors: Sharma Prajna , .K Pavithra , Sharma Pritam , Preman Ashika
Published: May 2023

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the major causes of morbidity in paediatric population. Sound
knowledge of factors associated with UTI may allow timely intervention that can easily bring the disease under control.
This study was designed to determine the prevalence of UTI in pediatric age group and their clinical prole by isolating and characterizing the
different bacterial agents and evaluate their antibiotic sensitivity. Materials and Methods:This prospective study was conducted in Department
of Microbiology, AJ Institute of Medical Science & Research Center, Mangalore from May 2021 to April 2022. A total of 113 non repetitive urine
samples (clean catch midstream urine, catheter aspirated, suprapubic aspirate) were collected from paediatric patients (0-18yrs) suspected of
UTI. Culture and bacterial identication was done by using standard microbiological guidelines. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done
by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method following clinical and laboratory standards institute (CLSI) guidelines. The study revealed a 27% Result:
(31/113) UTI prevalence among paediatric patients attending hospital. Fever, irritability and poor feeding were the most common symptoms in
neonates while older children presented with fever and urinary symptoms. The predominant organisms isolated were E. coli 15(48%) followed
by Klebsiella spp 7(23%), Enterococcus spp 4(13%), Staphylococcus aureus 3(10%), Proteus 1(3%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1 (3%). All
isolates of E. coli were found to be sensitive to Meropenem 15 (100%), followed by Amikacin and Gentamicin and Co-trimoxazole 11(74%).
Nitrofurantoin showed 94% sensitivity and Cephalosporins showed 94% resistance. Klebsiella spp were found to be sensitive towards Amikacin
7 (100%) followed by Cefoperazone 6 (85%) and showed resistance to Ceftazidime 6 (85%). ESBL producers in gram negative bacilli accounted
for 38%. Enterococcus spp were found to be sensitive to Linezolid 4 (100%) and all showed resistance to Erythromycin, Penicillin, Tetracycline,
Ciprooxacin and Noroxacin 4 (100%). Amikacin (11% resistance) and Nitrofurantoin (5% resistance) are the most effective drugs for gramnegative bacilli (GNB) while Vancomycin and Linezolid are functional against gram-positive cocci. The positivity rate from 0-6 years, 7-
12years, 13-18years were 11(35%), 3 (10%), 17 (55%) respectively. In our study, UTIs were more common in female (58%) children as
compared to male (42%) children. Conclusions High-level antimicrobial resistance was observed in paediatric UTI with alarming incidence of
superbugs like ESBL and MRSA. Regular surveillance should be carried out to determine the local prevalence of organisms and antimicrobial
susceptibilities in order to guide the proper management of children.

Published: May 2023

Introduction:Prevention of mucormycosis in COVID-19 patients involves reducing exposure to fungi in the
environment and careful management of underlying health conditions. Healthcare professionals should maintain a high
index of suspicion for mucormycosis in COVID-19 patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of fungal infection, particularly in those
receiving high-dose corticosteroids. Objectives: To determine histopathological ndings in mucormycosis cases and correlate them with
prognosis and risk factors . Out of the 25 patients with mucormycosis studied in post Results: COVID-19 patients, age ranged from 24-76 years,
of which 16 were men and 9 were women. Diabetes was present in 22 patients and hypertension in 16 patients. On histopathological examination,
fungal load was severe in 3 patients, angioinvasion was present in 8 patients, perineural invasion was present in 3 patients.The number of patients
discharged after surgery was 23, whereas 2 died. Histopathological features of muc Conclusion: ormycosis such as vascular invasion, perineural
invasion, heavy fungal load and extensive necrosis are proportional to mortality. Thus, histopathologists can help assess prognosis at the time of
tissue diagnosis so that clinicians can optimize treatment accordingly. Diabetes mellitus and a history of taking corticosteroids for the treatment of
COVID-19 are the two most common predisposing factors for the development of mucormycosis.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: In recent years, complete blood count, red blood cell histogram and peripheral blood smear have become
important diagnostic tools for diagnosing various blood diseases. Anemia is a major public health problem worldwide,
with high prevalence in developing countries like India1. Red blood cell count and histograms are essential for the diagnosis and management of
anemia2. The most important diagnostic tool for testing in most commercial laboratories is the periodic analysis of blood lms. AIM: the aim of
this study was to compare the role of automated cell count histograms and peripheral blood smear results in the diagnosis of anemia.. Material
and method:A prospective comparative study of RBC histogram and peripheral blood smear in diagnosis of anemia was done on 900 patients of
HB<14gm%, over two month time span(September 2022-October 2022) in the central laboratory lab, Department of pathology, Gajra Raja Medical College, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. All cases of anemia who received blood transfusions were excluded from this study. Result:It was observed in our study that on peripheral blood smears, the most common type of anemia was microcytic hypochromic anemia, followed by normochromic normocytic anemias. When we compared with the histogram generated by the automated cell counter, the most common type of anemia was hypochromic microcytic anemia, followed by normochromic normocytic anemia. In our study, the female population was more numerous than the males. The average age is (23 years old). Conclusion:CBC histograms and peripheral blood smears generated by automated cell counters play an important role in the diagnosis and management of red blood cell disorders. Our study observed that the histogram pattern and its conrmation by the peripheral blood smear along with the clinical medical history allow an accurate and conrmed diagnosis of various blood disorders. Accuracy and precision have been greatly improved resulting in reducing the subjective error3 .

A TRIAL TO INVESTIGATE THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE SPINAL COLUMN LENGTH AND ABDOMINAL GIRTH, AND THE LEVEL OF SENSORY BLOCKADE IN SUBARACHNOID BLOCK IN PARTURIENTS REQUIRING SPINAL ANAESTHESIA FOR LOWER SEGMENT CAESAREAN SECTION.
Authors: Vyshnavi Lingareddy , Yadav Shilpi , Chinchkar Richa , Ranjan Nikita
Published: May 2023

Introduction Spinal anaesthesia (SA) is a type of regional anaesthesia which obstructs nerve roots coursing through the
subarachnoid space. It is a reliable technique that has become a preferred technique in lower segment caesarean section.
Sensory blocking up to T4 dermatome level is required during Caesarean section, as this not only suppresses somatic sensations but also removes
visceral discomfort caused by peritoneum manipulation. However, because of this, the nal extent of anesthesia remains unpredictable which
may cause inadequate local anaesthesia or excessive block which may increase hemodynamic instability and be hazardous to the patients.
Hence, predicting and controlling the spread of local anaesthesia in the cerebrospinal uid is crucial which can be achieved by studying the
factors that inuence the extent of spinal anaesthesia. Such factors include the patient's general features, the characteristics of the injected solution, the clinical technique used and so on. The current study was undertaken to investigate the correlation between patient's general features such as the spinal column length and abdominal girth, and the level of sensory blockade in subarachnoid block for a given amount of local anaesthetic. The current prospective study cohort includes 100 parturients who rece Methods ived 2mL of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine for subarachnoid block. Height, weight, spinal column length, and abdominal girth were measured and recorded. Sensory level of blockade achieved was noted at 3 minutes and 25 minutes. The data was recorded in Microsoft excel and the analysis was done using SPSS version 20. Results Analysis indicated a negative association between abdominal girth and thoracic dermatome levels at 3 minutes (r-value=-0.042) and this association was found statistically insignicant (p-value=0.410>0.05). Similarly, at 25 minutes, there was a negative association between abdominal girth and thoracic dermatome levels (r-value=-0.201), however, this association was statistically signicant (p-value=0.017<0.05). The spinal column length and thoracic dermatome levels showed negative association that was statistically insignicant at both the 3 (r-value=- 0.409, p-value = 0.673>0.05) and 25-minute (r-value=-0.148, p-value=0.530>0.05) time points. From o Conclusion ur study we concluded that spinal column length was not a contributing factor to the level of blockade either at the onset of blockade or the nal spread. However, abdominal girth did have an inuence on the level of blockade. In order to conrm these results and reach a more satisfactory conclusion, studies in larger population need to be conducted.

Published: May 2023

This research aims to develop a secure and intelligent framework for 5G networks by incorporating federated learning (FL)

and transfer learning (TL) strategies. The primary objective is to enhance network evaluation metrics, such as capacity, service rate,

privacy preservation, low latency, and energy consumption, in the selection of access networks. The proposed framework will tackle

existing challenges in wireless communication systems, such as mobility, limited bandwidth, energy constraints, and limited feedback

from a receiver to a transmitter. The secondary objective is to address privacy preservation and scalability concerns during user

authentication in 5G networks. The federated user authentication model leverages the privacy preservation benefits of FL and secure

aggregation protocols during model averaging. The research methodology consists of five stages: literature review, classification of

objectives, determination of state metrics, definition of evaluation functions, and selection of FL and RL techniques. The resulting

framework is expected to provide a robust, secure, and efficient solution for 5G networks, ensuring enhanced quality of service and

New eddy-current sensor setup for high-resolution lithium-ion cell dilation measurements
Authors: Brauchle Felix , Grimsmann Florian , Birke Kai Peter
Published: May 2023

Lithium-ion cells exhibit a dilation during charge and discharge cycles and over their lifetime. Quantifying this dilation is a reliable method to characterize materials and observe degradation mechanisms. Currently, such experiments base on dial gauges or laser scanners, which are quite expensive and either unable to measure spatial differences, to apply pressure simultaneously or take up a lot of space.

In this work, a new sensor and measurement setup is presented that significantly improves the state of the art. The first priority is a high resolution to measure the dilation accurately. While the absolute accuracy of the setup is around 7 µm, the resolution of the sensor is lower than 4 nm if the cell to sensor distance is less than 3 mm. The second priority is the design of a space saving jig, which still allows the application of a uniform pressure. A setup based on well-characterized foams, which can be compressed to a defined force are combined with an integrated sensor in the compression plates. Finally, the third priority is to use only off-the-shelf parts in order to achieve a cost-efficient product.

The sensor is thoroughly explained and simulated under different circumstances. A calibration function is developed to map the nonlinear eddy-current sensor output to the corresponding distance. In the last part, measurements on lithium-ion cells are conducted and the results were compared to earlier literature studies.

Published: May 2023

Envisioned to be the next-generation Internet, the metaverse faces far more security challenges due to its large scale, distributed, and decentralized nature. While traditional third-party security solutions remain certain limitations such as scalability and Single Point of Failure (SPoF), numerous wearable  Augmented/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) devices with increasingly computational capacity can contribute underused resource to protect the metaverse. Realizing the potential of Collaborative Intrusion Detection System (CIDS) in the metaverse context, we propose MetaCIDS, a blockchain-based Federated Learning (FL) framework that allows metaverse users to: (i) collaboratively train an adaptable CIDS model based on their collected local data with privacy protection; (ii) utilize such the FL model to detect metaverse intrusion using the locally observed network traffic; (iii) submit verifiable intrusion alerts through blockchain transactions to obtain token-based reward. Security analysis shows that MetaCIDS can tolerate up to 33% malicious trainers during the training of FL models, while the verifiability of alerts offer resistance to Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Besides, experimental results illustrate the efficiency and feasibility of MetaCIDS.
MULTIWD: Multiple Wellness Dimensions in Social Media Posts
Authors: SATHVIK MSVPJ , Garg Muskan
Published: May 2023

The concept of wellness, as proposed by Halbert L. Dunn, recognizes the importance of multiple dimensions, such as social and mental well-being, in maintaining overall health. Neglecting these dimensions can have long-term negative consequences on an individual's mental well-being. In the context of traditional in-person therapy sessions, efforts are made to manually identify underlying factors that contribute to mental disturbances, as these factors, if triggered, can potentially lead to severe mental health disorders. Our research focuses on introducing a meticulous task aimed at identifying indicators of wellness dimensions and detecting their presence in self-narrated human writings on the Reddit social media platform. We have mentioned Ethics and Broader Impact.

GSB: Group Superposition Binarization for Vision Transformer with Limited Training Samples
Authors: Gao Tian , Xu Cheng-Zhong , Zhang Le , Kong Hui
Published: May 2023

Vision Transformer (ViT) has performed remarkably in various computer vision tasks. Nonetheless, affected by the massive amount of parameters, ViT usually suffers from serious overfitting problems with a relatively limited number of training samples. In addition, ViT generally demands heavy computing resources, which limit its deployment on resource-constrained devices. As a type of model-compression method,  model binarization is potentially a good choice to solve the above problems. Compared with the full-precision one, the model with the binarization method replaces complex tensor multiplication with simple bit-wise binary operations and represents full-precision model parameters and activations with only 1-bit ones, which potentially solves the problem of model size and computational complexity, respectively. In this paper, we investigate a binarized ViT model. Empirically, we observe that the existing binarization technology designed for Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) cannot migrate well to a ViT's binarization task. We also find that the decline of the accuracy of the binary ViT model is mainly due to the information loss of the \textbf{Attention} module and the \textbf{Value} vector. Therefore, we propose a novel model binarization technique, called \textbf{G}roup \textbf{S}uperposition \textbf{B}inarization (\textbf{GSB}), to deal with these issues. Furthermore, in order to further improve the performance of the binarization model, we have investigated the gradient calculation procedure in the binarization process and derived more proper gradient calculation equations for GSB to reduce the influence of gradient mismatch. Then, the knowledge distillation technique is introduced to alleviate the performance degradation caused by model binarization. Analytically, model binarization can limit the parameter’s search space during parameter updates while training a model. Therefore, the binarization process can actually play an implicit regularization role and help solve the problem of overfitting in the case of insufficient training data. Experiments on three datasets with limited numbers of training samples demonstrate that the proposed GSB model achieves state-of-the-art performance among the binary quantization schemes and exceeds its full-precision counterpart on some indicators.

Contenido perceptual, conceptos y conciencia fenoménica
Authors: Pereira Gandarillas Francisco
Published: May 2023

Algunos defensores del conceptualismo perceptual intentan bloquear el argumento noconceptualista de la riqueza de contenido afirmando que no hay percepción consciente sin atención. Para justificar esta afirmación los conceptualistas normalmente apelan a experimentos psicológicos, tales como la ceguera al cambio y la ceguera inatencional. En este artículo argumentaré que esta estrategia es insuficiente. Además sostendré, en base a recientes consideraciones teóricas y empíricas, que hay buenas razones para pensar que probablemente hay una forma de conciencia fenoménica visual más allá de los límites de la atención que no es accesible cognitivamente y menos aún estructurada conceptualmente.
The Impact of School Attendance on Child Working: Case from Indonesian School Operational Assistance
Authors: Aniza Karnia Nur
Published: May 2023

Educational subsidies are increasing school attendance, but the impact on the child’s working participation is vague. After running for five years, the government of Indonesia changed the regulation of Bantuan Operasional Sekolah (the BOS program or school operational assistance) to eliminate school fees for all elementary and junior secondary schools in 2009. This study intends to estimate the impact of hours of school attendance on children working using the 2009 regulation BOS program as an instrument. The estimation uses data from the fourth and fifth Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) with Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Design (FRDD) as methodology. The result presents that the children who benefited from the 2009 regulation BOS program spent more hours attending school than non-beneficiaries. However, the increase in school attendance is increasing the time allocation for income-generating and household work, supporting the idea that working and schooling are not perfectly substitutable.

This book is born out of a need to speak back to a powerful, pervasive narrative about the lives of black gay men. The narratives still circulating pay no attention to the role of agency, creativity, hope, aspirations, and everyday lives of gay men. They are always gruesomely spectacularised for various gazes that satisfy news cycles. This is a non-fiction monograph telling of the community who don’t fit-in, that is rooted in both privilege and pain. The reader can expect intensive healing to the LGBTIQ+ community and allies. This book will allow the reader to witness resilience. The chapters in the book presents the contributors powerful yet vulnerable – a revelation of men who hurt, experience trauma, and stand in their vulnerability. What this book aims to achieve is to help firstly, gay men and young boys to find peace and know that somebody out there relates to their story and that giving up in not an option. Secondly, parents, aunties and uncles; please learn from these experiences. We need your support. We don’t need you to judge us especially when the society frowns at our identity or makes us feel like we are the outcast. To the society, the time is now – we need to start work on rebuilding, reconciling and teaching love.
Elastic Stress Analysis of Hyperbolic Rotating Disks via Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method
Authors: Kutsal Servet Mert
Published: May 2023

This study, it is aimed to use an effective approximation method, called Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM) for elastic stress analysis. This study is carried out with the idea that utilizable of the considered method in many areas and having advantages will add a new perspective to the rotating disc problems that can provide convenience and practicality. The considered disk is an annular disk with both free ends and is subjected to centrifugal force. The thickness variation is assumed as hyperbolic. Deformations occurred on the disk, and radial and tangential stresses are calculated with the proposed method. The approximate solutions are in very good agreement with the exact solution. It is observed that the results converge to exact solutions faster than other approximate methods, like the Improved Adomian Decomposition method, in the literature. The results of this study show that OHAM is a very practical method with fast results for rotating disk problems. The study also shows the advantages of OHAM being directly applicable to differential equations of rotating disks without any transform function. Results by the comparison of approximate results and exact solutions indicated that OHAM can effectively be used in the analysis of rotating variable thickness disks.

With the need for a compact transportation system, the three-wheelers have evolved over the years, and in future, we can see these tadpoles in commercial aspects. These are electrified as IC Engine-based three-wheelers have been contributing excessively towards air pollution, and the efficiency of the electric tadpole is more. The primary aim is to develop a powertrain for a front-wheel drive electric tadpole-type vehicle. The tadpole configuration has many advantages over the delta types, as the tadpole provides more stability during cornering and braking. Tadpole provides us similar esteem of driving a car and also the compactness of a three-wheeler. Tadpole provides us similar esteem of driving a car and also the compactness of a three wheeler. Here, we have set a few performance parameters, calculated the torque and power required from MATLAB and Simulink, and found the different types of resistive forces that a tadpole needs to overcome to move. Based on this, we have selected the motor specifications and the battery capacity. Using these parameters, we have procured various powertrain components like a motor, battery pack, controller, gearbox, drive shaft, throttle pedal, power cable, phase cables and wiring harness. After procuring the powertrain components, we have fabricated and integrated the components with the tadpole.

Lower back pain in the elderly will cause changes in collagen, causing a decrease in flexibility in the elderly, causing an impact in the form of pain. One of the non-pharmacological actions that can be taken to treat low back pain (LBP) in the elderly is stretching, which is a stretching technique for soft tissue with certain techniques, to reduce muscle tension physiologically so that muscles relax and increase joint range of motion. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of hip exercise (stretching) on the intensity of low back pain in the elderly. This type of research uses quantitative research with a pre-experimental research design using a one group pretest-posttest design. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample T test. The. number of available samples was 30 samples taken by purposive sampling method. Data was collected by using observation sheets as many as 30 respondents. The results of the bivariate analysis obtained p-value 0,00 <0.05, which means that there is an effect of hip movement exercises (stretching) on the intensity of low back pain in the elderly. This research is expected to add insight into the effect of stretching exercises on the intensity of low back pain in the elderly and can be useful in health services, especially at the Puskesmas and become a source of information for implementing lower hip exercise interventions (stretching) on the intensity of low back pain in the elderly. as a non-pharmacological action

Diseases caused by Alternaria fungi are considered one of the most common and dangerous diseases of many plants around the world. These fungi primarily damage annual plants, especially vegetable crops, as well as leaves, stems, flowers and fruits of fruit trees and crops. The damage caused by Alternaria fungi in various plants is among the highest yield losses of any pathogen. This review provides general information on potato Alternaria disease, its causative agent, prevalence, development, its effect on yield, and control measures against it. When we analyzed the information provided by world phytopathologists, it became clear that the Alternaria solani fungus is one of the main pathogens that damage all green parts of potatoes and tubers. Air temperature of 22...26 ºC is optimal for the development of the disease. As a result of the strong development of the disease, the yield can be reduced to 5-78%.
KEY WORDS: plant, potato, disease, Alternaria, fungus, Alternaria solani, conidium, disease control.

The influence of Hollywood fiction on attitudes towards transgender people
Authors: Stock Rosemary , Lipińska Martyna Zuzanna
Published: May 2023

Previous research found that viewing positively portrayed transgender characters in Hollywood TV series reduces negative attitudes towards transgender people. This study investigates whether exposure to short clips from Hollywood fiction can also influence participant attitudes. Using a feeling thermometer (FT), a total of 132 participants viewed either a positive, negative or no-portrayal video and indicated their attitudes towards transgender people pre- and post-exposure. A 3x2 mixed-design ANOVA found a significant interaction effect between the type of portrayal and the point in time of measurement. The results highlight the importance of displaying more positive transgender storylines in films and TV series, and the potential of using (short) videos as part of interventions in educational and the therapeutical settings.
Rethinking Transparency and Rigor from a Qualitative Open Science Perspective

Discussions around transparency in open science focus primarily on sharing data, materials, and coding schemes, especially as these practices relate to reproducibility. This fairly quantitative perspective of transparency does not align with all scientific methodologies. Indeed, qualitative researchers also care deeply about how knowledge is produced, what factors influence the research process, and how to share this information. Explicating a researcher’s background and role allows researchers to consider their impact on the research process and interpretation of the data, thereby increasing both transparency and rigor. Researchers may engage in positionality and reflexivity in a variety of ways, and transparently sharing these steps allows readers to draw their own informed conclusions about the results and study as a whole. Imposing a limited, quantitatively-informed set of standards on all research can cause harm to researchers and the communities they work with if researchers are not careful in considering the impact of such standards. Our paper will argue the importance of avoiding strong defaults around transparency (e.g., always share data) and build upon previous work around qualitative open science. We explore how transparency in all aspects of our research can lend itself toward projecting and confirming the rigor of our work.
The Problem of CO2 Reabsorption in Emission Spectra
Authors: Civiš Svatopluk , Pastorek Adam , Yurchenko Sergei N.
Published: May 2023

The authors present a detailed explanation for selective reabsorption by the CO2 ν3-band when passing its optical emission through an atmospheric-pressure air column (60 cm long, 410 ppm CO2) connecting a microwave-discharge cell and the entrance window of a high-resolution Fourier Transform spectrometer. The CO2 band shapes are explained with a two-temperature model of emission and foreground absorption. Selective CO2 atmospheric reabsorption is a common effect in optical emission measurements. It primarily affects the fundamental infrared bands, which comprise the main part of the missing laboratory emission and must be taken into account in (exo)planetary atmospheric models.
