Quasi-isometry invariance of relative filling functions (with an appendix by Ashot Minasyan)
Authors: Hughes Sam , Martínez-Pedroza Eduardo , Sánchez Saldaña Luis Jorge
Published: August 2023

For a finitely generated group

G

and collection of subgroups

\mathcal{P}

, we prove that the relative Dehn function of a pair

(G,\mathcal{P})

is invariant under quasi-isometry of pairs. Along the way, we show quasi-isometries of pairs preserve almost malnormality of the collection and fineness of the associated coned-off Cayley graphs. We also prove that for a cocompact simply connected combinatorial

G

-

-complex

X

with finite edge stabilisers, the combinatorial Dehn function is well defined if and only if the

-skeleton of

X

is fine. We also show that if

H

is a hyperbolically embedded subgroup of a finitely presented group

G

, then the relative Dehn function of the pair

(G, H)

is well defined. In the appendix, it is shown that the Baumslag–Solitar group

\mathrm{BS}(k,l)

has a well-defined Dehn function with respect to the cyclic subgroup generated by the stable letter if and only if neither

In this paper, the role of nanoparticles which is revolutionizing the cancer treatment is presented in brief. The nanoparticles have become a popular choice in drug delivery due to their unique physicochemical properties, which offer various advantages for drug solubility improvement, specific cell targeting, controlled drug release, protection against degradation or elimination, and reduced toxicity to healthy cells. These properties have made nanoparticles a valuable tool in drug delivery for a wide range of diseases. Nanoparticles can be engineered to specifically target cells or tissues, which can increase drug efficacy while reducing side effects. Nanoparticles can also improve drug solubility in water, leading to better delivery and efficacy of poorly soluble drugs. Controlled drug release from nanoparticles provides sustained drug delivery, reducing the need for frequent dosing and improving patient compliance. Additionally, nanoparticles can protect drugs from degradation or elimination, enhancing their effectiveness. Overall, the use of nanoparticles in drug delivery systems has immense potential for improving patient outcomes and revolutionizing the field of medicine. This abstract provides an overview of the potential applications of nanoparticles in drug delivery systems. The work done & presented in this paper is the result of the mini-project work that has been done by the first sem engineering students of the college and as such there is little novelty in it and the references are being taken from various sources from the internet, the paper is being written by the students to test their writing skills in the starting of their engineering career and also to test the presentation skills during their mini-project presentation.

Published: August 2023

The main objective of this paper is improve the system and the working of the ambu bag by automation with reliable cost. Existing ambu bag system is very efficient but it has certain drawbacks which made it not much helpful the emergency conditions like pandemic Covid-19. The existing ambu bag system which can provide medical assistance to patients. It creates difficulty when there is extreme need to provide the oxygen and the patients required to move from remote area for the better medical help. Where at the earlier system was made to prevent from failure in supply of the oxygen, low level of the oxygen reservoir, the pressure of the air, here the new system is based on salving the new problems arrived the maximum time it can take to move the patients, consistency in inflating the bag and widening if making advancement. Future work is needed to achieve the potential of this approach by developing policies, updating regulations, and securing funding mechanism for the development and testing for open source Ambu Bag Automation for both the current Covid- 19 pandemic as well as for the future pandemic, for all the emergency conditions & for everyday use in low- resource settings. A bag used to give rescue breaths for victims of cardiac arrest, used along with a face mask (bag and mask ventilation). It is an integral part of any emergency kit. Holger Hesse and Henning Ruben introduced the concept of bag-valve-mask (BVM) 1953. There is a unidirectional valve at the patient end of the BVM. When the rescuer initially attaches the bag with the mask over the face and nostril of the victim who has stopped breathing. The rescuer then squeezes the bag and air enters the lungs of the victim. The self-inflating bag fills up on releasing the squeezing effort. The unidirectional valve prevents sucking in of expired air when the bag inflates. An Ambu Bag is a device that is needed when a person can't breathe properly or they can't breathe on their own. Ambu Bags are very important for sufferers of COVID-19 & other breathing problems and existing ventilators in hospitals are very complex & are very expensive. The availability of existing ventilators is not sufficient to meet the demand when the patients in hospitals are more due to pandemic like situations and many countries will struggle to afford expensive conventional ventilators, and so many critically ill patients are dying because of lack of ventilator facility, so we need an alternative to meet the demand. In this paper we are going review methods to make an automatic ambu bag operating device with a simple mechanism and cost- effective.

Published: August 2023

This study aims to determine the ability of the Modified Foam Stability (FS-50) test to predict fetal lung maturity in preterm premature rupture of membranes treated with Dexamethasone. The study sample included pregnant women with PROM at a gestational age of 24 to less than 34 weeks in the ER and Obstetrics Ward of Sanglah Central General Hospital, Denpasar. The patient underwent a vaginal speculum examination to collect fluid pooled in the vagina or from the outer cervical opening. Fluids are checked with the Modified Foam Stability (FS-50) test and graded from 0 to +4 to estimate fetal lung maturity. The first test was performed before Dexamethasone, followed by serial examinations at 12-hour intervals for 48 hours. Before dexamethasone injection, all patients got 0 scores as a baseline. There were statistically significant differences in FS-50 values before and after injection of the first, second, third, and fourth doses of Dexamethasone in PPROM patients. Fetal lung maturity was reached after the third dose of dexamethasone injection (36 hours after the first injection), characterized by an FS-50 value of > +3 and no asphyxia in the newborn. Spearman's rank analysis showed a significant correlation (p=0.005) between infants' maximum FS-50 value and asphyxia status. The FS-50 value > +3 is associated with the absence of asphyxia in infants born to PPROM patients who were given Dexamethasone for lung maturation. FS-50 can predict fetal lung maturity in preterm premature rupture of membranes given dexamethasone therapy.

Published: August 2023

Preeclampsia is an obstetric disease that is a health problem worldwide, including in Indonesia. Several studies have shown that changes in the maternal spiral arteries are thought to lead to preeclampsia. Preeclampsia in this decade has been associated with changes in angiogenesis regulatory proteins originating from the placenta and circulating in the mother's blood circulation, namely soluble FMS-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) and placental growth factor (PlGF). The author was interested in examining the ratio of sFlt-1/PIGF and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnant women. This study used a case control analytic observational design. The research sample was selected by consecutive sampling of 20 cases and 20 controls. Univariate analysis was used to describe patient characteristics descriptively, and bivariate analysis was used to determine the relationship between the 2 variables There is no significant difference in the characteristics of the research subjects. Low PIGF levels are a risk factor for preeclampsia (OR 4.33; p 0.0302) with a cut-off value of 24.5. High sFlt-1 levels are a risk factor for preeclampsia (OR 4.33; p 0.027) with a cut-off value of 869.5. A high sFlt-1/PIGF ratio is a risk factor for preeclampsia (OR 4.33 p 0.030) with a cut-off value of 38. High LDL levels are a risk factor for preeclampsia (OR 6.0; p 0.013) with a cut-off value of 150 ,2. Low placental growth factor (PIGF), high levels of soluble FMS-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1), and high levels of LDL are risk factors of preeclampsia in pregnant women.

The Memorial Afterlives of Online Crowdsourcing
Authors: Foster Ann-Marie , Wallis James
Published: August 2023

From May 2014 to March 2019 the Imperial War Museums launched a large-scale digital crowdsourcing project, ‘Lives of the First World War’. ‘Lives’ melded official and unofficial datasets to create an integrated database of people who had participated in the First World War. Over the course of the project 7.7 million individual histories were collected. After the initial collection phase, ‘Lives’ became a permanent digital memorial and database. This article investigates how ‘Lives’ contributed to public understandings of the First World War during and after its centenary. While undoubtedly an impressive and difficult undertaking, this article suggests that large scale data collection as a methodology on its own will replicate collection biases, unless married with specific collection drives. In the case of the First World War, this means that global majority narratives are subsumed by white British ones, at the expense of historically realistic data. The skewed datasets that come from large crowdsourced projects have widespread implications for cultural memories of events if they are to be digitally preserved within national collections.

Professores homens na educação infantil: limites e possibilidades
Authors: Muller Richard , RODRIGUES YARA
Published: August 2023

A atuação de professores homens em creches e pré-escolas é um tema de pesquisa que tem ganhado notoriedade no campo educacional. Diante disso, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a participação dos homens na função de docente na educação infantil e a construção conceitual acerca da especificidade das funções da educação da pequena infância. Esta é uma pesquisa qualitativa realizada por meio de uma revisão crítica da literatura. Foram utilizados autores que são referência nos temas estudados, tais como: Guacira Lopes Louro (2006), Jane Soares de Almeida (1998), bem como o Dossiê: Professores Homens na Educação Infantil: dilemas, tensões, disputas e confluências. Por meio da pesquisa, constatou-se que a naturalização de algumas práticas no dia a dia com as crianças pequenas, em muitos casos, reafirma a relação mulher, professora e mãe como algo determinado biologicamente. Nesse sentido, pode-se inferir que a inexpressiva participação dos homens na função de docente na Educação Infantil pode estar atrelada a uma cultura machista. Diante do exposto, faz-se urgente uma concepção mais alargada do papel de homens e mulheres no cuidado e educação das crianças pequenas.

Published: August 2023

Os estudantes com deficiência requerem um ambiente especializado, escolas com acessibilidade e professores capacitados para atender às suas necessidades. No entanto, a realidade da educação no Brasil revela uma falta de preparo das instituições e dos professores para lidar com essa clientela. A Declaração de Salamanca (1994) e Mantoan (2003) destacam a importância de uma transformação na escola de qualidade para todos, considerando situações específicas relacionadas ao conhecimento e à aprendizagem. Além disso, as Diretrizes Nacionais para a Educação Especial na Educação Básica (2001) também orientam as práticas inclusivas. Diante desse contexto, o objetivo principal desta pesquisa, de abordagem qualitativa, é refletir sobre como os professores devem ser preparados para atender adequadamente pessoas com deficiência. Em conclusão, evidencia-se a relevância de as escolas e os professores serem devidamente preparados para oferecer uma educação inclusiva de qualidade. Isso implica transformações tanto na estrutura física das escolas quanto na formação e capacitação dos professores. A educação inclusiva demanda um ambiente acolhedor, recursos adequados e estratégias pedagógicas diferenciadas para atender às necessidades dos estudantes.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made some of the activities carried out differently than before the pandemic. The handling and treatment of COVID-19 are inseparable from the contribution of healthcare facilities and hospitals. The physical distancing recommendation to prevent the transmission of the COVID-19 virus that supports patient care has made the food service management in hospitals – especially food distribution – undergo several modifications. The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in the food distribution process at the Nutrition Installation of Tugurejo Regional General Hospital Semarang before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This descriptive study used observational methods and online interviews using structured questions. Data related to the food distribution process before and during the pandemic was acquired through interviews with the Head of Research and Development of the Nutrition Installation of Tugurejo Regional General Hospital Semarang, while observation was only done during the pandemic. There were differences in the food distribution system before and after the pandemic at the Nutrition Installation of Tugurejo Regional General Hospital Semarang related to the Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR), nutritional service classes, distribution processes, food distribution time, places to eat (food serving media), hygiene and sanitation, as well as measuring food acceptance. The food service management focused on providing the best services of patient care before the pandemic; and highlighted the importance of physical distancing, sanitation, and hygiene during the pandemic. Understanding the changes needed in food distribution services at the hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic will give insights into the approach to improve patient care and prevent the transmission of the COVID-19 virus.

Children who experience a condition of failure to thrive can be seen by the difference in height where the child is lower than the child's height according to his age or commonly referred to as a stunted child, chronic malnutrition at the beginning of a child's life is the cause. Prevention of stunting in children is attempted on 1,000 HPK (First Day of Life) by giving special attention, one of which is through exclusive breastfeeding. The target for reducing stunting in 2018-2023 is based on the Regional Medium Term Plan (RPJMD) for Banyumas Regency by 15% in 2022. Meanwhile, the target for reducing stunting in Central Java Province for Banyumas Regency in 2022 is 18.1%. The incidence of stunting in Banyumas Regency in children under two years and children under five years is 406 people, pregnant women with a risk of stunting who require referrals are 1749 people and catin (prospective brides) who have a risk of stunting are 84 people. Miraceltree is a plant that has a high nutritional content in Indonesia, often called Moringa leaves with the scientific name Moringa Oleifera. Along with this, WHO indicates that Moringa leaves are an alternative food ingredient as an effort to deal with nutritional problems or malnutrition. The purpose of this research is to explore the benefits of Moringa leaves for postpartum mothers who are breastfeeding so that breast milk production increases so that their nutritional intake is fulfilled as a stunting prevention measure. The qualitative method was chosen in this study with a case study (Case Study). In-depth interviews were used in the study of data on ten postpartum mothers, one village midwife and one coordinating midwife for triangulation in the working area of the Kalibagor Health Center, Banyumas Regency. Lack of information is a factor in the low knowledge about the benefits of Moringa leaves and how to process them. Many general public assume that Moringa leaves are plants that are often found in the home environment and have no benefit in improving nutrition. Several factors influence the utilization of Moringa leaves, namely knowledge or understanding, information, culture, education from health workers (Nakes) and social media.

Impaired cognitive function in the elderly can have negative effects on the central nervous system, including decreased brain mass and reduced blood flow in the brain. This causes a decrease in interest in daily activities for the elderly. At the Binjai Social Service Nursing Home, many elderly people need assistance in carrying out their routines which previously could be done alone. Research was conducted to determine the relationship between cognitive abilities and daily activities in the elderly at the Binjai Social Service Nursing Home. The research method used is descriptive correlation with a cross-sectional approach. The population of this study were all elderly people at the UPT Social Service for the Elderly of the Binjai Social Service who were ≥ 60 years old, with a total of 160 people, and a sample of 114 people was taken using the Consecutive Sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rho test. Research shows that the majority of the elderly experience probable cognitive impairment (50.0%) and the majority also experience a moderate level of dependence in carrying out daily activities (71.1%). With the Spearman rho test, it was found that there was a significant relationship between cognitive function and daily activities (p value = 0.000). Based on these findings, researchers recommend that the elderly improve their cognitive function in order to improve their ability to carry out daily activities. Thus, the elderly can remain independent and active in carrying out their routines every day.

Abstract. Active remote sensors equipped with the capability to detect polarization, a shape-relevant parameter, are essential to aerosol particle identification in the vertical domain. Most commonly, the linear particle depolarization ratio has been available at the shorter wavelengths of 355 and/or 532 nm. Recently, linear particle depolarization ratios at longer wavelengths (910, 1064, and 1565 nm) have emerged in lidar aerosol research. In this study, a synergy of three lidars, namely a PollyXT lidar, a Vaisala CL61 ceilometer, and a HALO Photonics StreamLine Pro Doppler lidar, as well as in situ aerosol and pollen observations have been utilized to investigate the spectral dependence of birch and pine pollen particles. We found that, regardless of the pollen type, the linear particle depolarization ratio was subject to the amount of pollen and its relative contribution to the aerosol mixture in the air. More specifically, during birch pollination, characteristic linear particle depolarization ratios of 5 ± 2 % (355 nm), 28 ± 6 % (532 nm), 23 ± 6 % (910 nm), and 33 ± 4 % (1565 nm) were retrieved at the pollen layer. Regarding the pine-dominant period, characteristic linear particle depolarization ratios of 6 ± 2 %, 43 ± 11 %, 22 ± 6 %, and 26 ± 3 % were determined at wavelengths of 355, 532, 910, and 1565 nm, respectively. For birch, the linear particle depolarization ratio at 1565 nm was the highest, followed by the 532 and 910 nm wavelengths, respectively. A sharp decrease at 355 nm was evident for birch pollen. For pine pollen, a maximum at the 532 nm wavelength was observed. There was no significant change in the linear particle depolarization ratio at 910 nm for the pollen types considered in this study. Given the low concentration of pollen in the air, the inclusion of the longer wavelengths (910 and 1565 nm) for the detection of birch and pine can be beneficial due to their sensitivity to trace large aerosol particles.

Abstract. Assessing the role of physical processes in the stratosphere under climate change has been one of the hottest topics over the past few decades. However, due to the limitation of detection technique, the stratospheric disturbance information from in situ observation is still relatively scarce. The round-trip intelligent sounding system (RTISS) is a new detection technology developed in recent years, which can capture atmospheric fine structure information of the troposphere and stratosphere through the three-stage (rising, flat-floating, and falling) detection. Based on the structure function and singular measure, we quantify the stratospheric small-scale gravity wave (SGW) over China by Hurst parameter and intermittency parameter, and discuss its relationship with inertia-gravity wave (IGW). The results show that the enhancement of the SGWs in the stratosphere is accompanied by the weakening of the IGWs below, which is closely related to the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI), and is conducive to the transport of ozone to higher altitudes from lower stratosphere. The parameter space (H1, C1) shows sufficient potential in the analysis of stratospheric disturbances and their role in material transport and energy transfer.
