A way to individualize the interior design of a room by the example of a modular lamp "Light module"
Authors: Samokhvalova D. I. , Lozhkin Yu. V.
Published: July 2022

This article describes a way to solve the problem of individualizing the interior of a room by the example of a lamp having a large number of assembly options, which are provided by modules rotating around the axis of the light diffuser. By changing the configuration of the modules, you can change the appearance of the lamp to a more dynamic or static one. At the same time, the direction of lighting also changes: the light can be directed or diffused, and also with the help of light, you can illuminate a certain area of the room. These techniques affect the perception of the interior by a person, for example: diffused light creates a relaxed atmosphere, and directional light is great for work or reading. Also, the advantage of this lamp is that it is equipped with a smart LED strip, which is controlled remotely and has different operating modes.

Appropriate security upgrade and enhancements are required to be balanced so that the users can rely and trust their personal information on these technologies. Simultaneously, persons who goes missing if found also, there’s no way to identify if it’s the actual person or not. Also, many people don’t try to help in these matters concerning about their life safety from goons and mafias because many missing cases occurs from kidnapping and abduction etc. So, in this paper we are proposing and fabricating a project that will help to resolve such type of incidences. The project must require the public support but will ensure the public safety by keeping the identity constraints safe and sound. This project is going to rotate the tedious and complex phases of finding the missing person by mere man-force. This technology is going to help the Police Force, the Cyber Cell Authorities as well the parents/relative/guardian of the missing victim. The User Interface will be easy to use and adaptive, the features and functionality will be top-notch as it will be designed in PyQt5 GUI. The main process is of matching the lostfound victims photograph by using the K-NN Algorithm (AI & ML concepts). All the gathered data will be kept safe in the PostgreSQL’s Database for future use. The algorithm will convey through calculation of data from pictures that if the person is actually matching or not. In this way the fabricated project will execute.

Phenotypic senescence and multilevel variation in different body sizes in a natural insect population
Authors: Pásztor Kata , Kőrösi Ádám , Gór Ádám , Szigeti Viktor , Vajna Flóra , Kis János
Published: July 2022

1. Senescence seems to be universal in living organisms and plays a
major role in life-history strategies. Phenotypic senescence, the
decline of body condition and/or performance with age, is a largely
understudied component of senescence in natural insect populations,
although it would be important to understand how and why insects age
under natural conditions. 2. We aimed to a) investigate how body mass
and thorax width change with age in a natural population of the
univoltine Clouded Apollo butterfly (Parnassius mnemosyne,
Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) and b) to assess the distribution of body
mass, thorax width, wing and proboscis length in the population
within/between flight periods. 3. We studied a population 2014–2020
using mark-recapture during the whole flight period each year. Repeated
measurements on body mass and thorax width and single measurements on
wing and proboscis length were performed on marked individuals. We
analysed body mass and thorax width change with age (days since marking)
and initial body mass, thorax width, wing and proboscis length with time
since the flight period’s first day. 4. Both body mass and thorax width
declined significantly with age in all years. Individuals appearing
earlier in the season had significantly higher initial body mass, thorax
width, wing and proboscis length than those appeared later in several
years. Initial body mass varied little among years, while initial thorax
width showed high annual variation. Moderate annual variation and no
sexual difference were found in wing and proboscis length. 5. This is
the first study that revealed phenotypic senescence in a natural
butterfly population, using in vivo measurements. Despite their
different initial body sizes, the rate of senescence was similar in
males and females, indicating general life-history constraints. Annual
variation in body sizes and rate of senescence highlights the important
role of environmental factors, which should be further investigated.

Implications of Urbanization on Sustainable Cities’ Developments in Nigeria
Authors: Olubi Abiodun R. , Fadamiro Joseph A.
Published: July 2022

Urbanization attracts numerous and multifarious challenges that transverse across nations, regions, and continents. These challenges limit the potential of the cities, making them unsatisfactory and inefficient as well as plunging some towards collapse. This paper explores a review of academic outputs on different challenges of urbanization bedeviling cities in Nigeria and identifies a porous cities management system that allows a wide gap of in-balance between numerous urban dynamics. Undesirable effects and negative outcomes such as urban disharmony, reduction in the quality of the urban environment and urban life, and limitations to the potential of the cities in meeting needs are pointed out. The perspective of achieving sustainable city development in Nigeria in terms of improving the quality of the urban environments came to the fore by recommending a smart city approach for managing city developments.

Authors: Saadu Mariam B. , Jimoh Ayoola Y. , Adekeye Olabisi A. , Issa Taofeeq A.
Published: July 2022

The Maastrichtian–Eocene sediments (mainly shales and limestones) penetrated by the Itori borehole and Ilaro boreholes in the Dahomey Basin were investigated for foraminiferal biostratigraphy and palaeoecological interpretation. These boreholes penetrated Araromi, Ewekoro, and Oshosun formations at varying depths. Selected shale sediments were subjected to foraminiferal analysis and many planktonic and benthic species of foraminifera (agglutinated and calcareous) were recovered from the Cretaceous interval of the penetrated boreholes. Twelve species of planktic foraminifera (Globalomalina planocompressa, G. pseudomenardii, Globigerina inaequispira, Acarinina cf.coalingenis, Acarinina nitida, Chiloguembelina cretacea, chiloguembelina subtriangularis, Orthokasrstenia sp., Hedbergella holmdelensis, Globigerina sp., Globigerinelloids asperus, Morozovella formosa formosa) and thirteen species of benthic i.e Bolivina sp., B. Crassicostata, , E. africana, Eponides psuedoelevatus, Gavelinella cf. guineana, Gavelinella pachysuturalis, Haplophragmiodes sp., Lenticulina cyprina, L. inornata, L. olokuni, L. psuedomamilligera, L. taylorensis, Nonionella communis, N. spissa, N. panamensis, Orthokarstenia sp., Planulina oyae) were identified. In general, benthic species of infauna deposit feeder and epifauna dominate the population. These species occupy a range of environments from dyoxic to anoxic, brackish water to marsh environment down to upper bathyal depth. Based on the abundant and stratigraphical distribution of the foraminiferal species, four biostratigraphic zones were recognized: Afrobolivina afra zone of late Maastrichtian, Globigerina zone of early Paleocene, Globalomalina pseudomenardii zone of late Paleocene and Morozovella formosa formosa zone of the early Eocene.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of stress in bovines submitted to emergency slaughter caused by lengthy transportation to slaughterhouses in the state of Tocantins, Brazil. Blood collections were performed individually during exsanguinations. Tissue samples were obtained after evisceration on the slaughter line. The animals were divided into the Experimental Group (EG), with 19 bovines destined for immediate emergency slaughter, and the Control Group (CG), with 24 bovines slaughtered normally at the abattoir flow. The EG showed lower values of erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, neutrophilia with band neutrophils, and lymphopenia. Hyperalbuminemia, high levels of total proteins, glucose, and creatinine, and lower urea levels were observed in the EG. The globulins were equal between the groups. Histopathology revealed hepatocytes with vacuolated cytoplasm (87.5% of the cases) and liver congestion (83.33%). Interstitial emphysema (95.65%), alveolar emphysema (65.21%), and congestion (52.17%) were observed in the lungs. The kidneys showed congestion (80.95%) and hyaline casts (100%). The spleens showed rarefaction in the white (70%) and red pulp (65%), in addition to hemosiderosis (10%). This suggests that the animals transported over long distances are submitted to severe stress, with water and food deprivation, resulting in hematological and biochemical changes, with histological lesions and serious bruises affecting the musculoskeletal system. There is loss of homeostasis, severe debilitation, with destination for emergency slaughter with the conditional use of meat for consumption.

The Unaccounted Voice of Women in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Purple Hibiscus
Authors: Malini M. , Anitha Dr. S.
Published: July 2022

In our society, values of life is neither constant nor equal to all. Apart from economic conditions, the importance of women in under developing countries still suffers from blind gender disparity. Their voices are always suppressed in family as well as in society. The only solution to raise their importance is at the hand of law. The liberation of women in under developing countries is moving slow like a snail’s journey. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Purple Hibiscus realistically portrays the suppressed voices of African women through the characters Beatrice Achike-the Mama, Aunty Ifeoma, and Kambili Achike. Dissent is never entertained and taken on the right spirit by any government in the world. And therefore, the emotions and the desires of African women are taken unaccounted. This perhaps is the effect of poor literacy, lack of awareness found in under developing territories of Africa. This theme of the unaccounted voice of women is to be discussed in this research paper.

Comparing German and Slovak teachers’ knowledge of content and students related to functions
Authors: Hubeňáková Veronika , Sproesser Ute , Semanišinová Ingrid
Published: July 2022

A crucial aspect of learning about (linear) functions is being able to change between graph and equation. Common German and Slovak textbooks propose different procedures for these representational changes. Within a sample of 49 German and 56 Slovak teachers, we analyzed if these different procedures can also be observed in the teachers’ corresponding knowledge of content and students, i. e. if the teachers expected different student strategies and errors. The results confirm this assumption and emphasize the importance to consider this teacher's knowledge in a country-specific way and being careful when comparing such knowledge of teachers from different countries.
Variations in protocol development during oral immunotherapy
Authors: Graham François
Published: July 2022

Oral immunotherapy (OIT) protocols are not standardized, and a wide heterogeneity exists in the literature. OIT protocol variables include the initiation approach (fixed dose versus oral food challenge), buildup speed (slow versus fast), target maintenance dose (low versus high target dose), type of food used, and use of adjuvants among other variables. Most protocols start with an initial escalation day, which is a series of extremely low doses to safely identify the patients who are most allergic, followed by a buildup period over several months to years until the final target maintenance dose is achieved. Doses are generally increased every 1‐2 weeks by a factor of 1.25 to 2 and are adapted based on the patient’s symptoms. Protocols are increasingly favoring low-maintenance doses over traditional high maintenance doses, although this needs to be discussed and adapted based on the patient’s preferences. Accelerated OIT schedules with using a short treatment of omalizumab can be considered in severe food allergy cases.

Although seed allergies are relatively rare, sesame allergy has been increasing worldwide and is typically persistent in most patients. Because allergen labeling laws, until just recently, have not required the declaration of sesame as a major allergen, there is a clear need to better
understand and potentially treat this food allergy. Although blood and skin prick testing for sesame have limited predictive value, this improves with the use of component diagnostics and skin-prick test with fresh sesame. A thorough history and oral food challenge should be used to diagnose
sesame allergy. Treatment of sesame allergy with oral immunotherapy has been demonstrated to be safe and effective in case reports, and in at least one controlled study with a published sesame oral immunotherapy protocol. There is minimum literature with regard to management of other seed
allergies.
Long term oral immunotherapy management and assessment of success
Authors: Wasserman Richard L.
Published: July 2022

There is limited data addressing the optimal dose, dosing frequency, and duration of OIT maintenance. Using higher maintenance doses, more frequent dosing, and a long dosing duration makes it more likely that sustained unresponsiveness will be achieved but also increases the burden
of care on the OIT patient and family. The OIT maintenance regimen should be individualized based on the treatment goals of the patient and family.
The use of adjunctive therapies during oral immunotherapy: A focus on biologics

Published: July 2022

Oral immunotherapy (OIT), thus far, is the most evaluated therapeutic approach for food allergy. However, OIT is not known to lead to a cure, and it carries a risk for allergic reactions. Adjunct therapies to OIT are currently being investigated to evaluate their effect on safety and
outcome. Of these therapies, omalizumab is the most evaluated biologic. There is mounting evidence that omalizumab is effective in inducing rapid desensitization of OIT in both single-food and multiallergen OIT, while diminishing the rate of adverse reactions. Evaluation of other adjunct biologics,
such as dupilumab and bacterial therapy, is underway.
A practical focus on oral immunotherapy to tree nuts
Authors: Erdle Stephanie , Cook Victoria E.
Published: July 2022

Tree nut (TN) allergy is common, with a global prevalence of up to 4.9%. TN allergy is persistent in most patients, and accidental reactions are common. There is considerable clinical cross-reactivity between cashew and pistachio, and between walnut and pecan. A diagnosis of TN allergy is based on a history of clinical reaction on ingestion, along with confirmed sensitization through either skin-prick or serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) testing. Component testing and food challenges may be required in patients with birch pollinosis to distinguish between IgE-mediated allergy to a heat-stable protein and pollen food allergy syndrome. There is available evidence that TN oral immunotherapy (OIT) is reasonably safe and effective. There are numerous nonpharmaceutical food products to facilitate TN-OIT dosing. TN OIT should be offered as a treatment option for patients with TN allergy.

Objetivo: Analisar a ocorrência de alterações do desenvolvimento motor dos recém-nascidos de baixo peso nas Unidades de Cuidados Intermediários Neonatais Convencionais (UCINCO). Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, observacional, descritivo e quantitativorealizado em um hospital de referência do Ceará. Os dados foram coletados através dos prontuários e de uma avaliação utilizando a Alberta Motor Scale. Foram incluídos no estudo os recém-nascidos internados nas UCINCOs, com idade gestacional ≥40 semanas, de ambos os sexos, após 72 horas de vida, em ar ambiente, etc. Foram excluídos os recém-nascidos com síndromes ou malformações, sob uso de oxigenoterapia e outros. Resultados: Foram avaliados 30 recém-nascidos de baixo peso. A maioria eram prematuros, do sexo feminino e 50% pequenos para a idade gestacional. Em relação ao desenvolvimento motor, 36,7% dos recém-nascidos apresentaram atraso, 26,7% risco para atraso e 36,7% apresentaram desenvolvimento motor normal. O gênero dos recém-nascidos e a idade da mãe apresentaram-se associados, estatisticamente, ao desenvolvimento motor. Conclusão: A maioria da amostra analisada apresentou atraso ou risco de atraso para desenvolvimento motor. Somente o gênero e a idade materna apresentaram associação significativa.

Objective: Report a case of passive geographic tongue that became active due to the presence of severe stress associated to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Case details: In January 2019, a 42-years-old Caucasian female was included in a survey on geographic tongue (GT). At that time, although she reported having the condition, on intraoral examination, no atrophic areas or whitish margins were observed on her tongue (classic clinical signs of GT). In November 2020, she was contacted again and reported changes in her GT. At this time, the lateral borders of her tongue presented erythematous areas surrounded by whitish margins. The research participant also reported that she was under severe stress due to the pandemic. Final considerations: This case reported has demonstrated consistency with literature data regarding the onset, worsening of symptoms and changes in clinical aspects of geographic tongue associated with emotional and psychological factors. To ensure that changes in clinical aspects of GT may be related to pandemic stress, further research of oral manifestations of COVID-19 is needed.

Objetivo: Analisar as características da Púrpura Trombocitopênica Trombótica (PTT). Revisão bibliográfica: A PTT é uma das microangiopatias trombóticas, caracterizada pela formação espontânea de trombos na microcirculação. É definida clinicamente por anemia hemolítica microangiopática (MAHA) e trombocitopenia moderada a grave, com ou sem sinais e sintomas de disfunção de órgão-alvo associada, incluindo envolvimento neurológico, cardíaco, gastrointestinal e renal. A PTT pode ser causada por deficiência hereditária grave da atividade plasmática da ADAMTS13 resultante de mutações na ADAMTS13 (uma desintegrina e metaloprotease com um motivo trombospondina tipo 1, membro 13), referida como TTP hereditária ou congênita, além de poder ser autoimune ou adquirida. Considerações finais: A PTT é uma das microangiopatias trombóticas, sendo uma emergência médica que requer rápido diagnóstico e manejo urgente em decorrência de suas complicações sistêmicas como infarto agudo do miocárdio e acidente vascular encefálico. É caracterizada por trombocitopenia com esquistócitos no esfregaço de sangue periférico, anemia, disfunção renal e bilirrubinemia indireta devido à anemia hemolítica intravascular. Dessa forma, é essencial a atenção ao paciente com PTT a fim de propiciar adequado diagnóstico e tratamento evitando, assim, desfechos desfavoráveis.

Published: July 2022

Sağlık harcamaları, çevre kirliliği ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişki son dönemlerde alanyazında odak noktası haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de çevre kirliliğinin ve ekonomik büyümenin, sağlık harcamaları üzerindeki etkilerini 2000-2018 dönemi yıllık verileri dikkate alınarak incelemektir. Sağlık harcamalarının göstergesi olarak kişi başına sağlık harcaması, çevre kirliliğinin göstergesi olarak CO2 emisyonu ve ekonomik büyümenin göstergesi olarak ise kişi başına gayri safi yurtiçi hasıla olarak alınmıştır. Bu çalışmanın ampirik bulguları, Phillips-Peron birim kök testi sonuçlarına göre serilerin birinci farkta durağan olduğu incelenmektedir. CO2, ekonomik büyüme ve sağlık harcamaları arasındaki ilişki ARDL sınır testi yaklaşımı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Sınır testine göre %1,%5, %10 anlamlılık seviyelerinde eşbütünleşme olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmaktadır. Uzun dönem parametre tahminine göre sağlık harcamalarının bağımlı olduğu modelde ekonomik büyümede meydana gelen %1’lik bir artış sağlık harcamalarını %1.355 oranında artırmaktadır. CO2 emisyonunda meydana gelen %1’lik bir değişme sağlık harcamalarında %3.598’lik bir azalış meydana gelmektedir. Uzun dönemde katsayıların yapısal kırılma içerip içermediğini CUSUM testi ile analiz edilmiştir. CUSUM testine göre katsayıların yapısal kırılma içermediği görülmektedir. CUSUM testi ile %95 güven sınırları içerisinde kaldığın incelenmiştir. Kısa dönem hata düzeltme modeli ECM değeri -0.330 olarak test sonuçlarından elde edilmiştir. Hata düzeltme modeli bekleneni karşılamaktadır. İstatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır.
