Analysis of Pathology in Premature Infants in Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic at St George University Hospital, Plovdiv between 2013 and 2015
Authors: Sandeva Milena , Uchikov Petar
Published: March 2021

Introduction: Premature birth is now one of the most profound prenatal problems worldwide because of the high morbidity and mor-tality it is associated with at the beginning of life. Advances in prenatal medicine over the past decades have led to a significant improve-ment of neonatal survival in risk groups of newborns. Infants of gestational age of 22-25 weeks represent the greatest medical, social, and ethical dilemma in neonatology. Most of these newborns need intensive care to survive, and most infants born between 28 and 32 weeks of gestation require special care. Those born 34 to 36 weeks’ gestation also have higher rates of short-term morbid premature birth-related conditions such as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) than their peers born at term.

Aim: To carry out an analysis of morbidity during the neonatal period in premature babies.

Materials and methods: A retrospective triennial study was conducted on 598 premature newborns.

Results: The results of the study show that morbidity rate in premature born infants is high. The most frequent reasons for admission to the neonatal intensive care unit are the other forms of respiratory distress syndrome (45%). Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) was observed in 23.41% of the prematurity, 10.7% of them were suspected of having other pathology, and 20.9% of premature neonates  manifested no complications in the neonatal period. There was a significant difference in the diagnosis of newborns after birth (p=0.0001, r=0.58), with the newborns with RDS demonstrating the most complications in the neonatal period.

Conclusions: The conclusions to be drawn from the analysis of the data are as follows: there is wide comorbidity in the prematurity of RDS. Lower gestational age strongly correlates with the development of RDS. If no corticosteroid therapy is administered the risk of developing hyaline membrane disease increases. There is extremely high probability of neonatal mortality in children with hyaline membrane disease. There is significant difference between the primary diagnosis and the condition of the child at discharge from the medical establishment. Adequate and specialized prenatal care is essential when trying to reduce the incidence of preterm birth.

Authors: Shahini Shams Abadi Milad , Taji Asieh , Salehi Fatemeh , Kazemian Hossein , Heidari Hamid
Published: March 2021

Enterococci have been considered as one of the most common causes of nosocomial infections. The spread of antibiotic resistance has posed a serious challenge to treating the enterococcal infections. High-level aminoglycosides resistance leads to failure in the synergistic combination therapy. 

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of high-level gentamicin resistance (HLGR) among clinical isolates of enterococci in Iran.

Systematic literature search was conducted in the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar electronic databases from ar-ticles which were published from April 2000 to September 2018. Literature search yielded 918 studies. Eligible studies were selected ac-cording to the defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Statistical heterogeneity was estimated by Q statistic and the I2 index. The Begg’s rank correlation test and Egger’s weighted regression tests were used to evaluate possible publication bias.

Nineteen studies were included in this review. According to the meta-analysis results, the prevalence of HLGR among Enterococcus spp. was 49.4% (95% CI: 42.2%-56.6%). It was estimated 44.3% (95% CI: 38.1%-50.8%) and 66.3% (95% CI: 51.4%-78.6%) for E. faecalis and E. faecium, respectively.

Since notable rate of HLGR in enterococci was seen in this analysis, improving the implementation of all aspects of the infection control programmes is required. Accurate and regular monitoring of infection control procedures are necessary for reducing the dissemination of such infections.
Psychiatric Emergencies and the Potential Role of Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioners
Authors: Kverno Karan , Mangano Emma
Published: March 2021

Emergency departments (EDs) are experiencing a worsening crisis of overcrowding, especially during the coronavirus pandemic. Persons experiencing psychiatric emergencies must be evaluated medically and screened for risks of harm to self or others before they can be cleared for transfer to inpatient units or discharged. Severe shortages of inpatient psychiatric beds can lead to hours or even days of costly boarding in the ED. The purpose of this article is to examine the potential role of psychiatric–mental health nurse practitioners in psychiatric ED care, from initial intake and medical clearance, screening for suicide risk, de-escalation, stabilization, and discharge.

Capacitisme et (néo)racisme au sein des processus de classement scolaires au Québec : interprétations par les intervenants des difficultés des élèves issus de l’immigration
Authors: Collins Tya , Borri-Anadon Corina
Published: February 2021

Les processus de classement scolaires des élèves issus de l’immigration considérés en « difficulté » constituent une préoccupation internationale, à l’intersection des travaux appartenant à l’adaptation scolaire et de ceux portant sur l’expérience scolaire des élèves issus de l’immigration ou appartenant à des groupes racisés. Dans le cadre de cet article, notre problématique s’attache à l’identification de ces élèves dans la population scolaire considérée handicapée ou en difficulté d’adaptation ou d’apprentissage. À partir d’une perspective ancrée dans les Disability Critical Race Studies, cette étude ethnographique documente différentes interprétations des difficultés perçues par les intervenants scolaires chez sept élèves du primaire issus de l’immigration. Cinq interprétations-types sont présentées : 1) médicalisation par mise à l’écart des marqueurs culturels, 2) médicalisation par contrainte professionnelle, 3) médicalisation par déficitarisme culturel, 4) attente de précaution et 5) différentialisme culturel. Ces résultats aident à éclairer le phénomène de surreprésentation de ces élèves en adaptation scolaire et à comprendre comment le capacitisme et le (néo)racisme y contribuent.
A Compact GPS Surface Drifter with LoRa Telemetry and Self-Contained Tracking System
Authors: Robinson Andrew R. , Esty Michael , Tilburg Charles E.
Published: February 2021

AbstractShallow marine environments are characterized by complex and variable physical processes that have significance for biological and human communities. However, the global disparity in scientific resources limits examination of the coastal ocean in some regions, so
the development of universal and accessible technologies is needed. We combined a compact, GPS-equipped drifter design with long-range (LoRa) radio telemetry and a receiver system housed on a research vessel to develop a low-cost, easily assembled system of drifters. LoRa transmission of real-time
location data while deployed was used to increase recoverability, minimizing the initial and long-term costs of constructing and maintaining the operation of this drifter system. Bench and field testing confirmed the performance of the system, which was optimized for LoRa transmission, which
is compromised when occurring near the sea surface. The swift currents, complex coastline, and varied sea states present in our study area provided a rigorous testing environment for the drifter system. We established the working limits of battery life and LoRa data transmission within our
configuration of transmitters and receiver, evaluated the accuracy of the GPS receivers, and determined the most robust variant of the drifter body design. This study offers proof of concept for a radio-tracked drifter system that is ready for deployment to track nearshore surface currents.
Both the drifter system and the data telemetry protocol can be adapted to other investigations of the marine environment by integrating new sensors, modifying the configuration or deployment procedure, or applying LoRa radios to transfer data from fixed sensing platforms.

Ectopic location of Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD) or its migration from the normal position in the uterine fundus is a frequently encountered complication. It varies from uterine expulsion to displacement into the endometrial canal to uterine perforation or intravesical migration, which is an extremely rare case. Ultrasonography was used in the diagnoses of this reported case of an ectopic intravesical IUCD.
Possible Correlation of Electrochemiluminescence Based Numerical Cut off Index Value with Concentration of Anti-Sars-Cov-2 Antibody: Is it Worth Reporting?
Authors: Khawaja Shabnum , Asif Mohammad , Naz Mukry Samina , Sultan Shamsi Tahir
Published: February 2021

Background

Many laboratories are reporting a numerical cutoff index value (COI) value for most anti-SARS-CoV-2 qualitative tests. These numerical values in patients’ report ultimately created great confusion in the public and physicians, therefore this study was designed to evaluate the correlation of electrochemiluminescence (ECLIA) based numerical COI values with quantitative ELISA of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody.

Design and methods

Two hundred and twenty-eight (228) recovered COVID-19 patients were included; their serum samples were analyzed by quantitative ELISA and ECLIA for anti-SARSCOV- 2 antibodies.

Results

One hundred and seventy-three (75.8%) patients tested positive by ECLIA and ELISA assay and thirty-seven (6.2%) were tested negative by both methods. A weak positive correlation (r=0.37) was found between numerical COI value of ECLIA with ELISA concentration, which was statistically significant with p<0.001. All values were dispersed on scatter plot and there was no significant linear relationship between ECLIA and ELISA assay.

Conclusions

As both testing techniques are base upon the same immunological phenomena of detecting antibodies against nucleocapsid protein. We suggest that COI values are not meant to describe the immunity level of the individuals thus the physicians should not consider it as a quantitative value for antibody levels in COVID-19 patients.

A Revolutionary Collage of Same Sex Attraction Stories
Authors: Polanco Marcela
Published: March 2021

Tony E. Adams' (2011) book presents what could be considered a revolutionary, humanizing understanding of same-sex attraction. This is accomplished by providing a relational understanding of "the closet" and experiences of coming into, living in, and coming out of the closet. It is a production of significant social relevance, denouncing the marginalizing effects of the domains of heteronormativity. While highly scholarly, his evocative storytelling makes this book accessible to an interested reader regardless of his or her degree or area of specialization.
Conversations on Method: Deconstructing Policy through the Researcher Reflective Journal
Authors: Slotnick Ruth , Janesick Valerie
Published: March 2021

In this article the authors argue that the researcher reflective journal is a critical interpretive tool for conducting educational policy analysis. The idea for this research grew from the experiences of a doctoral candidate (Ruth) in pursuit of a policy focused dissertation and a series of on-going conversations with her qualitative methodologist (Valerie). The structure of the paper takes a dialogue form on the topic of policy analysis and the various uses of the journal, including found data poetry and photographic representations of the self as a research instrument, which may expand the findings and increase options for data presentation. Sections of the paper include a discussion on journal writing as a creative process, the reflective role of the researcher when examining policies, and the challenges of constructing a well-designed methodological framework.

Authors: Edwards Lorece , Irving Shalon , Hawkins Anita
Published: March 2021

HIV/AIDS disease continues to be an escalating health problem, particularly among women. However, African American women are among the leading demographic groups for HIV prevalence in the United States. The typical woman with HIV/AIDS is young, in her late twenties, economically challenged, and of childbearing age. Participants were recruited from an HIV/AIDS outpatient clinic to explore their perceptions of social support, life experiences and marriage. Data were collected through tape-recorded interviews using a semi-structured guide and journaling. Participants reported that most of their time was spent providing care for their husbands who were HIV-positive. Very often their health and well-being were compromised by providing care to others. Participants reported a lack of social support and challenges managing their self-care.
Case Closed: An Earnest Review of Ganon's Case Study as Research Method
Authors: Gearity Brian
Published: March 2021

Gagnon's (2011) text is the most recent contribution to the growing corpus of knowledge on case study research. As a whole, the text contains all of the typical parts one would expect in an introductory text on case study research. The text begins with a brief discussion of paradigms and epistemologies and then gives way to issues of reliability and validity. Next, the reader is taken through a "step-by-step" approach to case study research with chapters on data collection, analysis, interpretation and writing reports. Drawing upon his own experiences using case study method, Gagnon identifies enduring concerns and provides several practical tips for the novice researcher. However, the text could be improved by a clear definition of case study and a lucid explanation of the relationship between methodologies and methods.
Understanding the Evolving Roles of Improvement-Oriented High School Teachers in Gilgit-Baltistan
Authors: Ali Takbir
Published: March 2021

In this paper the author presents a framework for understanding how improvement-oriented high school teachers' accounts of change experiences portray their evolving roles as change agents in school reform. The data on which this paper is based come from a one-year long in-depth study (doctoral thesis research project) in which the author set out to investigate how improvement-oriented teachers pursue important changes in the realm of classroom, school and community; how the teachers-initiated changes can be characterized; and how the teachers' roles evolve with their change practices. The researcher employed qualitative case study methodology, using in-depth interviews, classroom observations, post-observation discussion, and document analysis, as the main sources of data. The teachers whose change practices and values are depicted in this report recognize their roles in pedagogical, institutional and social change, and wherever possible, they try to engage in efforts to bring these changes about. Through the study the author recognizes an inherent link between teachers' endeavors aimed at bringing about fundamental change in the classroom and their efforts towards promoting institutional change in the schools and social change in the community.

The development of science and technology has obtained supporting technology for monitoring the soil shear force and pore water pressure in the dam, the presence of shear forces against the landfill and pore water pressure through small cavities in the embankment soil in the dam body which can be detected by equipment such as inclinometer and piezometer that have been installed at predetermined points. The application of inclinometer and piezometer technology is used as a support tool for monitoring the movement of landfill and pore water pressure against dams. The embankment dam is the most complex of civilian structures and is very dangerous if damaged. When there is damage to a dam, it will cause a big disaster for the areas that are downstream of the dam. Damage or collapse of a dam can occur due to several things, including overtopping, sliding of the dam slopes (internal erosion or "piping"), and the occurrence of structural degradation of each zone. on the dam body. In the analysis of the stability of the embankment (maindam) which is based on geotechnical instrument data, it must be carried out as carefully and accurately as possible. The purpose of this analysis is to measure the early damage in the main dam (maindam). After conducting research and field studies at the Sindang Heula dam, there were several points of decline at the top of the core embankment (maindam). To find out the cause of the decline, data was taken from measuring geotechnical instruments.

SELF-ORGANIZING MAP WITH NGUYEN-WIDROW INITIALIZATION ALGORITHM FOR GROUNDWATER VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
Authors: Linan Maureen Nettie , Gerardo Bobby , Medina Ruji
Published: February 2021

Assessment of groundwater vulnerability to contamination plays a vital role in the utilization and protection of groundwater resource. In this study, a vulnerability map for Boracay Island, Philippines was developed using a modified self-organizing map algorithm to determine groundwater vulnerability in light of massive tourism developments in the island. Self-organizing map using the Nguyen-Widrow initialization algorithm was used to cluster DRASTIC data which were pre-processed using data cleaning normalization schemes. The vulnerability map developed showed that groundwater resource in the island is susceptible to contamination as confirmed by groundwater quality analysis. The result of the study demonstrates the effectiveness of the improved SOM algorithm as a tool for assessment of groundwater vulnerability and is comparable with the traditional DRASTIC method. The developed methodology allows grouping of datasets into clusters that represent the level of vulnerability to contamination of the groundwater. Further, this approach can be applied to other islands to ensure the balance between tourism developments and ecological integrity of the scarce groundwater resource.
CLOUDINESS IMAGES MULTILEVEL SEGMENTATION BY PIECEWISE LINEAR APPROXIMATION OF CUMULATIVE HISTOGRAM
Authors: Melnyk Roman , Tushnytskyy Ruslan , Kvit Roman
Published: February 2021

The Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm for piecewise approximation is used for image multilevel segmentation. The cumulative histogram is selected as a function for approximation. The algorithm allows you to determine threshold values of continuous and discrete images. The algorithm is used to separate cloudiness from background and to calculate cloudiness intensity. The found points of the approximated function have been accepted to change pixel intensity by proposed formulas. The algorithm efficiency is compared with those based on ordinary and cumulative histograms. By controlling the number of points for piecewise linear approximation function, the necessary segmentation accuracy can be achieved. The algorithm complexity is linear to the number of image pixels and to the number of intensity steps. The developed algorithm is applied to the satellite map images to separate clouds of different intensity. The extracted clouds of different intensity are used to classify regions by cloudiness with a developed clustering algorithm. Testing and experimental results are presented.
FUZZY RECURRENT MAPPINGS IN MULTIAGENT SIMULATION OF POPULATION DYNAMICS SYSTEMS
Authors: Chumachenko Dmytro , Sokolov Oleksandr , Yakovlev Sergiy
Published: February 2021

The article deals with the problems of analyzing multi-agent models of population dynamics. The problems studied are caused by a number of uncertainties associated with variables, boundary conditions, initial states, parameter values, etc. Given problems could be found in tasks associated with cyber security of critical infrastructures (e.g. DDoS attacks, computer worms, etc.). To solve this problem, a linguistic fuzzy model has been developed, which allows describing systems of population dynamics in a more realistic way. Population dynamics is described by a set of rules, each of which involves entry and exit in the form of fuzzy sets or fuzzy functions, which are applied iteratively. The complexity of describing the processes of population dynamics systems, the presence of fuzzification and defuzzification algorithms, and the use of fuzzy sets and linguistic variables make it necessary to develop new methods for analyzing such systems. The approaches proposed in the article to the study of systems of population dynamics make it possible to apply a unified description of processes of different nature in the form of a production set of rules.
A MULTI-AGENT APPROACH TO POMDPS USING OFF-POLICY REINFORCEMENT LEARNING AND GENETIC ALGORITHMS
Authors: Obadan Samuel , Wang Zenghui
Published: February 2021

This paper introduces novel concepts for accelerating learning in an off-policy reinforcement learning algorithm for Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDP) by leveraging multiple agents frame work. Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm is considerably a slow but elegant approach to learning in an unknown environment. Although the action-value (Q-learning) is faster than the state-value, the rate of convergence to an optimal policy or maximum cumulative reward remains a constraint. Consequently, in an attempt to optimize the learning phase of an RL problem within POMD environment, we present two multi-agent learning paradigms: the multi-agent off-policy reinforcement learning and an ingenious GA (genetic Algorithm) approach for multi-agent offline learning using feedforward neural networks. At the end of the trainings (episodes and epochs) for reinforcement learning and genetic algorithm respectively, we compare the convergence rate for both algorithms with respect to creating the underlying MDPs for POMDP problems. Finally, we demonstrate the impact of layered resampling of Monte CarloвЂ™s particle filter for improving the belief state estimation accuracy with respect to ground truth within POMDP domains. Initial empirical results suggest practicable solutions.
HUM-TO-CHORD CONVERSION USING CHROMA FEATURES AND HIDDEN MARKOV MODEL
Authors: Hariyanto Hariyanto , Suyanto Suyanto
Published: February 2021

Music is basically a sound arranged in such a way to produce a harmonious and rhythmic sound. The basis of music is a tone, which is a natural sound and has different frequencies for each sound. Each constant sound represents a tone. The tones can also be represented in a chord. Humans are capable of creating a sound or imitating a tone from other human beings, but they are naturally unable to represent them into musical notation without musical instruments. This research addresses a model of Hum-to-Chord (H2C) conversion using a Chroma Feature (CF) to extract the characteristics and a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to classify them. A 10-fold cross-validating shows that the best model is represented by the chroma coefficients of 55 and HMM with a codebook of 16, which gives an average accuracy of 94.83%. Examining on a 30% testing set proves that the best model has a high accuracy of up to 97.78%. Most errors come from the chords with both high and low octaves since they are unstable. Compared to a similar model called musical note classification (MNC), the proposed H2C model performs better in terms of both accuracy and complexity.
SECURING CLOUD DATA AGAINST CYBER-ATTACKS USING HYBRID AES WITH MHT ALGORITHM
Authors: Jayapandian N.
Published: February 2021

Cloud computing is dealing with large amount of data during data communication. This data processing is named as big data. The big data is growth of the demand in accessing the storage, computation and communication. This big data has the major defects. A raising issue in emerging big data is cost minimization. The architecture of big data ranges over multiple machines and cluster which have sub system. The major challenge of this big data is pre-processing and analysing the data patterns. This research article is dealing with different data pre-processing and secure data storage. There are many research challenges during this data process. The possible gap and drawbacks in the technology are identified through this survey and the efficient big data service is provided through MHT and AES algorithm. The main aim of this proposed method is to provide better data security during larger data process. The proposed hybrid MHT with AES algorithm is to minimize the encryption and decryption time apart from that it reduces the attacker ratio. All these parameters automatically increase the Quality of Service.
ASSURANCE CASE FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY IMPLEMENTATION: A SURVEY OF APPLICATIONS
Authors: Sklyar Vladimir , Kharchenko Vyacheslav
Published: February 2021

This paper presents a survey of Assurance Case implementation for applications which are not directly related to the usual for Assurance Case regulatory regime. The UK is the country which first developed the theory of Assurance Case as a response to big catastrophes, and most applies Assurance Case regime for many industrial domains. USA, Australia and EU countries apply Assurance Case approach for safety and security regulation and licensing. For the last two decades Assurance Case has been used mostly for confirmation analysis of critical systems with established set of regulatory requirements. There are proven standards of use, notations and tools to support Assurance Case methodology. However, many researchers have tried to find approach to expand Assurance Case application to communicating domains. We group the following directions of Assurance Case applications as the following ones: Assurance Case for attributes assessment such as quality, dependability and, first of all, safety and security, Assurance Case based certification, improvement of argumentation, assurance based development, and Assurance Case for knowledge management. The main challenges and solutions of development and application of Assurance Case methodology, techniques and tools have been analyzed.

The goal of this research is to generate a motion-aware claim using a deep neural network approach: sequence-to-sequence learning method. A motion-aware claim is a sentence that is logically correlated to the motion while preserving its grammatical structure. Our proposed model generates a motion-aware claim in a form of one sentence and takes motion as the input also in a form of one sentence. We use a publicly available argumentation mining dataset that contains annotated motion and claim data. In this research, we propose a novel approach for argument generation by employing a scheduled sampling strategy to make the model converge faster. The BLEU scores and questionnaire are used to quantitatively assess the model. Our best model achieves 0.175 ± 0.088 BLEU-4 score. Based on the questionnaire results, we can also derive a conclusion that it is hard for the respondents to differentiate between the human-made and the model-generated arguments.

PREVENTIVE FUNCTION OF LAW IN THE SYSTEM OF INFORMATION RISKS
Authors: Воробьев С.М. , Комаров С.А.
Published: March 2021

Аннотация. В статье проведен теоретико-правовой анализ действия
превентивной функции права, с учетом имеющегося роста различных инфор-
мационных рисков. Авторы считают, что право нуждается в существенной
корректировке ввиду имеющегося дисбаланса в правовом регулировании ин-
формационных отношений и предупреждения распространения информацион-
ных рисков. Авторы полагают, что обеспечение превентивной функции права
должно быть связано с совершенствованием юридической техники и актив-
ным внедрением новых государственных информационных систем мониторин-
га информационных рисков.
При этом настоящая статья отражает субъективную позицию авто-
ров по данной проблематике.

Аnnotation. The article provides a theoretical and legal analysis of the preventive
function of law, taking into account the existing growth of various information risks. The
authors believe that the law needs to be significantly adjusted in view of the existing imbalance
in the legal regulation of information relations and prevention of the spread of information risks. The authors believe that ensuring the preventive function of law should
be associated with the improvement of legal technology and the active introduction of
new state information systems for monitoring information risks.
At the same time, this article reflects the authors ' subjective position on this issue.
