Authors: Vamshi Rangu , Vinay Muppa Sai , Karthika Parameswar Sanjana , Prashanthi Ms. Vinayaka
Published: April 2023

Abstract: Having an accurate nutrition profile for recipes is crucial for various applications, such as dietary analytics, recommendation systems, and nutritional assistance. However, online databases often collect recipes from various sources to increase the variety and quantity of the dataset. As a result, the nutritional information provided may be incomplete and unreliable. This paper proposes a scalable method to estimate the nutritional profile of recipes using a reliable and standard nutritional database. Previous studies have shown the effectiveness of string-matching methods on small datasets, and this proposed method is applied to a large dataset called Recipe DB, which contains recipes from multiple sources. The United States Department of Agriculture Standard Reference (USDA-SR) database is used as a reference to compute the nutritional profiles. The efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated by calculating the average error across the recipe database, which is 36 calories per serving, and falls within the range of errors attributable to physical variations. The study employs Named Entity Recognition, Nutrition Composition Tables, and the USDA SR for nutrition analysis.

Authors: Pathak Mr. Devarshi , Lotia Mr. Ronak , Surani Prof. Piyushkumar
Published: April 2023

Abstract: The term "air conveyor" refers to a group of systems that use air instead of mechanical belts, rollers, or chains to convey goods and materials. Lightweight goods like empty containers, cartons, and trays can be moved by air conveyors at speeds that frequently exceed system requirements. They might not, however, be confined to lightweight ones. It takes time for workers to move things from one place to another, especially when it involves big items. By moving objects farther away using pressured air and with the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, one may save time by employing air conveyor systems.

Authors: Singh Shambhavi , Thussu Mahima , Ahmad Afaq
Published: April 2023

Abstract: Daylight is important for buildings because it provides numerous benefits to the occupants and the building. Firstly, natural light is essential for visual comfort and productivity. Secondly, daylight is a source of energy and reduces the reliance on artificial lighting, which can lower energy costs and carbon emissions. Moreover, daylighting has been shown to positively impact human health and wellbeing by reducing stress and improving mood. However, deep plan buildings fail to receive natural light which hinders the productivity as well as the aesthetics of the building. This paper explores the importance of daylight in deep plan buildings, where spaces are located further from the perimeter walls and rely heavily on artificial lighting. Daylight has a significant impact on the quality of indoor environments, including visual comfort, energy efficiency, and occupant health and wellbeing. However, designing for daylight in deep plan buildings requires a specific set of considerations and strategies. The paper discusses these strategies, including the use of different technologies for introducing daylight in such buildings and presents case studies of successful daylighting in the same. The paper concludes that incorporating daylighting strategies in deep plan buildings is crucial to creating healthy and sustainable indoor environments.

Published: April 2023

Abstract: Designing a voting system that ensures fairness, privacy, and security is a significant challenge. The lack of trust in election systems among large sections of society worldwide is a major concern for democracy. Flawed voting systems pose a threat to democracies, including governing bodies, co-operating societies, and student councils. Vote rigging, hacking of electronic voting machines (EVMs), election manipulation, and booth capturing are the key issues with the current electoral system. To address these issues, we propose using novel technologies such as blockchain and Merkel trees, which are wellknown for their security benefits. Our system builds on popular blockchain frameworks that provide blockchain as a service, while preserving participants' anonymity and enabling public scrutiny. Blockchain is a unique technology of our time that promises to enhance the resilience of digital voting platforms. It presents an opportunity to leverage the benefits of blockchain, such as cryptographic foundations and transparency, to achieve an efficient digital voting system.
Exploring grade 11 learners’ mathematical connections when solving two-dimensional trigonometric problems in an activity-based learning environment
Authors: Maphutha Kgaladi , Maoto Satsope , Mutodi Paul
Published: April 2023

In this paper, we explored the type of mathematical connections Grade 11 learners make when solving two-dimensional (2D) trigonometric problems in an Activity-Based Learning (ABL) environment. We followed a qualitative case study design within an interpretive paradigm. Convenience sampling was used to select a whole class of 45 Grade 11 learners from one of the public non-fee-paying secondary schools in Capricorn District, Limpopo Province of South Africa. Group work presentations and classroom interactions were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using deductive thematic analysis guided by the mathematical connections’ framework. The findings indicated that learners managed to make procedural, meaning, reversibility, different representations, feature, and inclusion part whole as well as integrated connections as they worked on 2D trigonometric problems in an ABL environment. We established that learners did not make generalization part-whole connections. In addition, we found that some learners lacked mathematical connections skills and failed to solve the problems. Engaging learners in an ABL environment provided a fine-grained approach that allowed them to make mathematical connections. We, therefore, recommend that teachers should create an ABL environment to enable learners to make different types of mathematics connections during the teaching and learning of trigonometric concepts.

Therefore, the connection between mathematics and everyday life of Students must be improved.
Historical Laws in the System of Modern Knowledge about the Past of Human Society
Authors: Goncharenko L. N. , Avakova E. B.
Published: April 2023

This article examines the question of the existence of specific historical (general sociological) laws that operate throughout all stages of human history and differ from other laws of social existence. The authors have attempted to formulate the most obvious basic historical laws based on the available scientific developments, methodological approaches and ideas of researchers from both the distant and very recent past. The authors define the following list of historical laws: the law of cyclicity; the law of civilizational, event-based and personal uniqueness of the historical process; the law of balance and struggle of personal, group, corporate, state and civilizational interests; the law of cause-and-effect relationships; the law of unrealized alternatives; the law of unintended consequences. They reflect in the most concentrated form the current level of knowledge about the world historical process. They relate to the entire array of the past of human society. They are synthetic, complex, multidimensional and all encompassing. They manifest themselves in all periods of human history without exception. Therefore, they open up the possibility of a more conscious perception of the present and the formation of general scientific ideas about the deep mechanisms of the future development of society.

Authors: Serova E. G. , Vorobyev P. F. , Fainshtein E. M.
Published: April 2023

This study examines how the impact of the coronavirus spread on business operations in the restaurant business varies depending on the level of restaurants adaptability to the challenges encountered during the pandemic, using three dimensions (analysis of consumer demand problems, optimization of corporate strategy and use of the company’s innovative potential). Through in-depth interviews with eight key food service industry experts in St. Petersburg, Russia, this study describes and fleshes out the rapidly transforming challenge of identifying major market changes in the restaurant business during the pandemic. The analysis showed that chain restaurants with sufficient resources to deal with employee turnover, technology development, brand building and customer loyalty are more resilient to the challenges resulting from the impact of the coronavirus spread than similar food service companies. While the presence of serious problems associated with consumer demand, the optimization of the offered dishes format and service had a significant impact on the relationship between the impact of the coronavirus spread and the inability to adapt to the new reality of doing business. The results of the research can be useful for entrepreneurs and managers of chain restaurants who develop marketing strategies to establish or adjust management decisions to adapt catering companies during a pandemic.
Populismo penal en américa latina. Análisis comparado de sus efectos sobre la confianza en la justicia y democracia
Authors: Carvajal Javiera , Fredes Daniel , Manzano Liliana
Published: April 2023

El encarcelamiento masivo es un fenómeno cada vez más extendido en el mundo. Entre los años 2000 y 2018, mientas la población privada de libertad a nivel mundial creció 24 %, en América Latina y el Caribe se constató un aumento del 120 %. El auge del populismo punitivo y su influencia sobre los sistemas penales han sido considera-dos como propulsores del encarcelamiento masivo. Estos fenómenos tienen efectos sociales de diversa índole y magnitud. Un impacto social relevante se vincula con la pérdida de confianza de la ciudadanía en el sistema penal, cuestión que en ALC ha sido analizada por estudios exploratorios y descriptivos, pero solo escasamente por estudios explicativos o relacionales. El presente estudio busca responder a la pregunta: ¿En qué medida el populismo puni-tivo, en general, y el endurecimiento penal, en particular, influyen en el debilitamiento de la confianza ciudadana hacia las instituciones penales? y, a su vez, ¿cómo este fenó-meno afecta la democracia? Para abordar esta interrogante se analizaron datos secun-darios procedentes de la encuesta Barómetro de las Américas (LAPOP, 2019), respecto a los países de El Salvador, Chile, Honduras, Paraguay, México, Bolivia y Jamaica. Los hallazgos del estudio demuestran que una orientación favorable al endurecimiento penal está asociada con un deterioro de la confianza ciudadana en el sistema penal, pero no directamente con un deterioro de la confianza en la democracia. Sin embargo, el endurecimiento penal erosiona la confianza en las democracias, de modo indirecto, a través del debilitamiento de la confianza en los sistemas penales.

Authors: Palomino Leiva Martha Liliana , Dagua Paz Amparo
Published: April 2023

La violencia comunitaria hace referencia a todo acto humano deliberado con la inten-ción de causar daño físico, emocional o sexual a una o varias personas de la comuni-dad presente en un contexto barrial o rural. Es una forma de violencia interpersonal ocurrida fuera del hogar (Organización Mundial de la Salud [OMS], 2003), el cual afecta la sana convivencia, la seguridad y la calidad de vida de las personas. Este trabajo tiene como propósito presentar el análisis de las variables psicosociales de la violencia co-munitaria en el marco de la teoría ecológica de Bronfenbrenner y Ceci (1994) y la teoría de la interacción social de Tedeschi y Felson (1994). Es una investigación cualitativa donde se utilizó la revisión documental y el análisis de las narrativas de siete líderes comunales. Los resultados muestran factores de riesgo y de protección a nivel personal, sociocomunitario y cultural, que requieren ser recono-cidos, atendidos y potenciados en los espacios barriales. Se concluye que la violencia comunitaria es un fenómeno complejo el cual involucra el sentido de comunidad, las pautas culturales de comportamiento, las condiciones socioeconómicas, las redes de apoyo social e interinstitucional y la violación o protección de los derechos humanos.
Assessing National Health Insurance Fund members' level of understanding, experiences, and factors influencing their choice of contracted outpatient facilities in Kenya

Published: April 2023

Objective: To assess National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF)
members’ level of understanding, experiences, and factors influencing
their choice of NHIF-contracted outpatient facilities in Kenya.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional qualitative study with
NHIF members in two purposefully selected counties (Nyeri and Makueni
counties) in Kenya. We collected data through 15 focus group discussions
with NHIF members. Data were analysed using a framework analysis
approach. Results: Urban-based NHIF members had a good
understanding of the NHIF-contracted outpatient facility selection
process and the approaches for choosing and changing providers, unlike
their rural counterparts. While NHIF members were required to choose a
provider before accessing care, the number of available alternative
facilities was perceived to be inadequate. Finally, NHIF members
identified seven factors they considered important when choosing an
NHIF-contracted outpatient provider. Of these factors, the availability
of drugs, distance from the household to the facility and waiting time
at the facility until consultation were considered the most important.
Conclusion: There is a need for the NHIF to prioritise
awareness-raising approaches tailored to rural settings. Further, there
is a need for the NHIF to contract more providers to both spur
competition among providers and provide alternatives for members to
choose from. Besides, NHIF members revealed the important factors they
consider when selecting outpatient facilities. Consequently, NHIF should
leverage the preferred factors when contracting healthcare providers.
Similarly, healthcare providers should enhance the availability of
drugs, reduce waiting times whilst improving their staff’s attitudes
which would enhance user satisfaction and the quality of care provided.

Authors: Yetgin Ali
Published: April 2023

The soil-microbe-plant system is a complex and dynamic network of
interactions that play a crucial role in plant growth and development.
The use of soil databases has allowed us to gain insights into the
diverse microbial communities present in soil and their impact on plant
health. In this review, we explore the role of soil microbes in plant
health and how soil database analysis has facilitated our understanding
of their functions. We discuss the key microbial groups involved in
nutrient cycling, disease suppression, and plant growth promotion, and
their contributions to plant health. Additionally, we examine the impact
of abiotic and biotic stressors on the soil microbial community and its
subsequent effects on plant health. Finally, we highlight the potential
applications of soil database insights for sustainable agriculture and
plant health management. Our review demonstrates the importance of soil
microbial diversity and highlights the value of soil database analysis
as a tool for unraveling the intricate interactions within the
soil-microbe-plant system.

Published: April 2023

Measuring the heartbeat and respiration of animals continuously can
provide valuable information about their health status.
Respiratory-related diseases are very common in the poultry industry and
unfortunately, there is no non-contact respiratory monitoring system for
measuring the breathing rate and heart rate of the broiler chicken. In
this letter, we explored and tested the feasibility of utilizing a 24
GHz on-shelf Radar module for monitoring the vital signs (breathing rate
and heart rate) of broiler chickens. A signal processing approach has
been developed to extract vital signs of broiler chicken from
Radar-captured signals. The experiment was carried out on three
different normal broiler chickens with the age of 25-30 days, weight
1.18-1.6 Kg where a 24-GHz radar module was mounted at a distance of 0.2
meters above the chest surface of the chicken, and this particular
experiment was repeated for twenty times. We also used a reference ECG
module (Biopac System) for extracting the breathing rate and heart rate
of the broiler chicken and compared the accuracy of our proposed system.
Experimental results demonstrated that the radar measurement closely
matches the Biopac ECG acquisition module measurement and showed an
accuracy of 96% for a short-scale study.
Dietary regulation of ruminal UT-B2 urea transporters in adult male fallow deer bucks: effects of season and wildlife feeding activity.

Published: April 2023

The urea nitrogen salvaging process (UNS) supports the symbiotic
relationship between ruminants and their gastrointestinal microbiome by
both supplying nitrogen and buffering bacterially-derived short chain
fatty acids (SCFAs). Studying such physiological processes via
investigation of rumen papillae morphology and functioning, as well as
western blotting to detect rumen urea transporters, allows researchers
to test hypotheses linking physiology and ecology. The goal of this
innovative approach is to indicate the way forward for future research.
Our previous studies have shown the importance of the UT-B2 urea
transporters in the rumen of wild fallow deer living in Phoenix Park,
Dublin. In this current pilot study, we investigated the effects on
these transporters of seasonal changes – linked to changes in feeding
intake during and after the mating season - and acceptance of artificial
food from park visitors in adult male bucks. Investigation of the rumen
papillae revealed that animals culled in January had significantly
longer papillae than those culled just after the rutting season in
November, when bucks interrupted feeding from a few days to weeks. In
contrast, western blotting analysis showed that there was no significant
difference in the abundance of UT-B2 transporters between these two
groups. Adult males that had displayed consistent begging behaviour to
obtain food from human visitors to the park had a higher papillae
density. Furthermore, these animals had a significantly higher abundance
of UT-B2 transporters, which was shown by immunolocalization studies to
be predominantly in the stratum basale layer of the rumen papillae. Our
research suggests that human-wildlife feeding interactions can have
subtle effects on the physiology of individual animals involved. The
findings of this novel study therefore improve our understanding of
basic rumen physiological processes, but also add insight into the
unseen effects that humans feeding wildlife may have.
Application of soft ideals to two new types: the soft primary ideal and the soft 1-absorbing primary ideal
Authors: çıtak Filiz , KANAT IBRAHIM HALIL
Published: April 2023

In this paper, we introduce two new types of ideals. The first of these
is a soft primary ideal, a generalization of the soft prime ideal. We
work theoretically and practically in the first part on this new
concept. One of the most important results we have achieved is that the
concept of a soft primary ideal is a generalization of a soft prime
ideal. Namely, a soft prime ideal is a soft primary ideal, but a primary
ideal does not need to be a prime ideal. Another important result is
that the radical of a soft primary ideal is a soft prime ideal. In
addition, with the help of a soft primary ideal, we obtain a primary
ideal of the ring under suitable conditions. In the second part, we
describe and examine the concept of a soft 1-absorbing primary ideal, a
generalization of the soft primary ideal. In this part, we show that
every soft primary ideal is a 1-absorbing primary ideal, but the reverse
of this situation is not valid. The soft 1-absorbing primary ideal also
is a generalization of the soft prime ideal. In this section, we have
proved that the radical of the soft 1-absorbing primary ideal is the
soft prime ideal. Finally, we determine that algebraic features of soft
primary ideal and soft 1-absorbing primary ideal are guarded under ring
homomorphisms.

Authors: Wani Rizwan Uz Zaman , Thabit Fursan , Can Ozgu
Published: April 2023

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly expanding network of
interconnected things that use embedded sensors to gather and share data
in real-time. IoT technologies have given rise to many networking
applications in our everyday life such as smart homes, smart cities,
smart transport, etc. Smart healthcare is one such application that has
been revolutionized by the IoT, introducing a new branch of IoT known as
the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). IoMT encompasses an entire
ecosystem consisting of smart wearable, implantable sensing equipment’s
or devices, transmitters that are critical for monitoring the patients
remotely and continuing the real-time and has opened the door to new
innovative smart healthcare approaches while improving patient care
outcomes. IoMT wearable and embedded sensing devices are commonly
utilized in smart healthcare to capture medical data and transmit the
medical data in a communication network stored in the cloud. The large
volume of data generated and transmitted by these IoMT devices is rising
at an exponential rate, resulting in an increase in security and privacy
vulnerabilities of healthcare data. In order to ensure the
Confidentiality and integrity of the IoMT devices and the Medical data,
there should be proper security and privacy measures such as access
control, passwords, multifactor authentication, and encryption of data
generated, transmitted, or processed in the IoMT framework. In this
paper, we identified the internet of things and its applications in
smart healthcare systems. Additionally, the paper focuses on the
architecture of IoMT, and several challenges, including the IoMT
security and privacy requirements, and attack taxonomy. Finally, the
review focuses on current security and privacy-enhancing techniques for
IoMT or healthcare systems. The conclusion and future work are then
discussed.

We investigated the frequency of day-case surgery in total hip (THA), total knee (TKA), and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) from 2010 to 2020 in Denmark.Patients and methods: Primary unilateral THAs, TKAs, and UKAs performed for osteoarthritis were identified in the Danish National Patient Register using procedural and diagnosis codes. Day-case surgery was defined as discharge on the day of surgery. 90-day readmissions were defined as any overnight admissions following discharge.Results: From 2010 to 2020 Danish surgical centers performed 86,070 THAs, 70,323 TKAs, and 10,440 UKAs. From 2010 to 2014, less than 0.5% of THAs and TKAs were day-case procedures. They increased to 5.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.9–5.8) of THAs and 2.8% (CI 2.4–3.2) of TKAs in 2019. From 2010 to 2014, 11% of UKAs were day-case procedures, but they increased to 20% (CI 18–22) in 2019. This increase was driven by a few surgical centers (3–7 centers). In 2010, readmission rates within 90 days of surgery were 10% after THAs and 11% after TKAs, and 9.4% for both THAs and TKAs in 2019. Readmission rates after UKA fluctuated between 4% and 7%.Conclusion: From 2010 to 2020 the use of day-case surgery in THA, TKA, and UKA increased in Denmark, driven by only a few centers. During the same period readmissions did not increase.
Increasing daily duration of rehabilitation for inpatients with sporadic inclusion body myositis may contribute to improvement in activities of daily living: A nationwide database cohort study
Authors: Tani Takuaki , Imai Shinobu , Fushimi Kiyohide
Published: April 2023

Objective: To analyse the association between the daily duration of rehabilitation for inpatients with sporadic inclusion body myositis and improvement in activities of daily living, using a Japanese nationwide inpatient administrative claims database.Methods: Data were extracted regarding inpatients with sporadic inclusion body myositis who had undergone rehabilitation between 1 April 2018 and 31 March 2021. The mean daily duration of rehabilitation was categorized into 2 groups: > 1.0 h (longer rehabilitation) and ≤ 1.0 h (shorter rehabilitation). The main outcome was improvement in activities of daily living from admission to discharge, measured using the Barthel Index. For the main analysis, a generalized linear model was used.Results: In total, 424 patients with sporadic inclusion body myositis met the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the study. The main analysis found a significant difference in improvement in activities of daily living between the longer rehabilitation and shorter rehabilitation groups after adjusting for confounders (risk ratio (95% confidence interval), 1.37 (1.06–1.78)).Conclusion: A longer daily duration of rehabilitation results in improved activities of daily living for inpatients with sporadic inclusion body myositis.
LAY ABSTRACTSporadic inclusion body myositis is a slowly progressive inflammatory myopathy. There is no known effective systemic therapy for sporadic inclusion body myositis; hence rehabilitation plays an important role in standard care for most patients. Although rehabilitation is currently provided to inpatients with the condition, there is almost no evidence for an association between the daily duration of rehabilitation and improvement in activities of daily living. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the daily duration of rehabilitation for inpatients with sporadic inclusion body myositis and improvement in activities of daily living, using a nationwide administrative database in Japan. The results show that a longer daily duration of rehabilitation results in improved activities of daily living for inpatients with sporadic inclusion body myositis.
Cysts of Oral Cavity: Odontogenic Keratocyst; A Rare Case Report with a 6-Year Follow-Up
Authors: Dilsiz Alparslan
Published: April 2023

Aim: Odontogenic keratocyst is one of the rare odontogenic cyst, commonly affecting the mandible. It has a special mention in the field of oral surgery due to its varied presentation and high recurrence rate. There have been a few cases reported of outcomes of treatment of odontogenic keratocysts. The aim of this report was to illustrate the case of OKC in a patient and to describe the follow-up information and successful treatment of its. Methods: A 18-year-old Turkish girl was referred by her dentist to the periodontology clinic of the Faculty of Dentistry in November 2017, for the treatment of cyst in the mandibulary incisor region. The diagnosis of odontogenic keratocyst suggested clinically and radiographically was confirmed by the histopathological study. Treatment consisted of oral hygiene instruction, periodontal-endodontic treatment and resection of cyst. Results: Four weeks after surgery healing was occurred and six years later area of the lesion appeared completely normal as clinical and radiographically. There were no signs of local recurrence after a 6-year follow-up. Conclusion: The odontogenic keratocyst was treated successfully by surgical periodontal treatment.
Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis Exacerbates with Restored Teeth: A Cadaveric Case Report
Authors: Immonen Jessica
Published: April 2023

The objective of this case report is to begin to investigate the correlations between gross signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA) on cadaveric temporomandibular joints (TMJs) and the restorative care a patient experienced prior to death. Two cadaveric donors (88-years-old male and 93-years-old female) were investigated by classical dissection for gross symptoms of OA on the mandibular condyle and the mandibular fossa using a validated scale for OA disease severity. A Grade 0-4 disease severity score was awarded to the unilateral condyle and mandibular fossa for each patient. An oral exam was performed to assess restorative changes to the dentition. Both patients demonstrated Grade 4 (severe) OA on the mandibular fossa and condyle. This is a finding documented to only affect 23% (7/31) of a previous research cohort of donors; the mandibular fossa typically presents with more severe disease findings compared to the condyle. These specific donors were selected for TMJ disease assessment as a preliminary oral examination revealed substantial restorative findings. Excluding removal of the third molars, the male donor was charted to have 1 missing tooth and 11 restored teeth whereas the female donor was charted to have 17 missing teeth and 11 restored teeth. The 93-years-old female demonstrated a visibly more profound state of disease on the fossa and condyle of the TMJ compared to any other donor assessed by this protocol to date; the fossa demonstrated complete cartilage loss with a substantial concavity on the articular eminence, the condyle was flattened and the articular disc was effectively absent minus a thin fibrocartilaginous ring. It could be concluded that this substantial degree of TMJ OA disease severity, based on this specific validated scale, may relate to a high quantity of restored teeth and may manifest uniformly between the sexes.

Lumajang Regency, especially Bades Village, is one of the central managements of coastal and marine areas in East Java Province. One of the fishermen groups in Bades Village is the Mina Dampar Fishermen Group. Until now, these fishermen groups have not been able to utilize coastal areas for small-scale people's ponds due to limited knowledge of intensive shrimp farming technology, limited access to capital, and limited market information. This Technical Guidance aims to broaden horizons and introduce vannamei shrimp farming technology to fishermen who are members of the Mina Dampar group. This technical guidance activity was carried out at the Fish Landing Base in Bades Village and was targeted at the Mina Dampar Fishermen Group. The mentoring method used is the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method. This Technical Guidance aims to broaden horizons and introduce vannamei shrimp farming technology to 10 fishermen who are members of the Mina Dampar group. This technical guidance consists of outreach activities and field orientation. This activity shows that fishermen are interested in cultivating vannamei shrimp in Bades Village, especially freshwater vannamei shrimp cultivation. Cultivating freshwater vannamei shrimp can be a source of income for fishermen while doing housework.
