En 2019 se recuperó en la motilla de El Retamar la única alabarda argárica de la Meseta; es el primer arma especializada en la Cultura de las Motillas. El hallazgo se produjo en un contexto no funerario -el Corte A-, asociado a recipientes cerámicos, un horno y semillas (trigo harinero y duro, cebada vestida, escanda melliza y lino. El arma, de 118 g y 15,7 cm, cuenta con dos remaches y es de hoja asimétrica. Puede clasificarse dentro del tipo San Antón (tipo 2 de Lull), con paralelos formales similares en la alabarda de la tumba 999 de El Argar o en otra de la colección Gómez-Moreno. La pieza no contiene estaño; es de cobre arsenicado (3,4% As), con porcentajes significativos de plomo y plata (2-3% Pb; 0,47% Ag). El análisis de sus isótopos de plomo revela la probable procedencia del área minera de Linares (Jaén). La datación de la madera del enmangue (Beta-591414, 3590±30, 2010-1895 cal BC) fecha la alabarda en el primer siglo del segundo milenio cal BC. Este hallazgo confirma que las poblaciones argáricas y del Bronce de La Mancha establecieron intensas redes de intercambio, por las que circularon objetos de alto valor social, como el marfil, la copa argárica de La Encantada o la alabarda de la motilla de El Retamar.
Los edificios prehistóricos de la Punta des Patró (Mallorca) y su distribución interna a partir del análisis de los moluscos marinos
Authors: Vicens Miquel Àngel , Hernández-Gasch2 Jordi , Salvà Bartomeu
Published: May 2022

En este artículo se describen los restos de moluscos marinos hallados en las excavaciones del yacimiento de la Punta des Patró que pusieron al descubierto dos edificios cuyo uso se halla enmarcado en la Edad del Hierro mallorquina (épocas Talayótica y Balear, respectivamente). El primer edificio no se asocia a una actividad ritual, en cambio el segundo se puede calificar de santuario y se encuentra muy vinculado a la necrópolis vecina del Illot des Porros.

El estudio se ha centrado en los aspectos tafonómicos y taxonómicos de las conchas de los moluscos, lo cual ha permitido observar evidentes pruebas de su utilización como elementos alimenticios y su implicación en determinados rituales vinculados con el fuego, así como empezar a entrever una posible distribución de las actividades rituales realizadas dentro del santuario. Además, se han esclarecido algunos interrogantes sobre la estratigrafía del yacimiento.
Una paradoja de la teonimia y la antroponimia lusitano-galaica: ¿Migraciones hacia el sur del Sistema Central y el valle del Tajo?
Authors: Olivares Pedreño Juan Carlos
Published: May 2022

El presente trabajo analiza los testimonios epigráficos de cultos indígenas y de nombres personales hispánicos registrados en el área lusitano-galaica, diferenciando las áreas en las que se concentran grupos concretos de teónimos y antropónimos. A partir de este estudio, se han detectado dos áreas culturales distintas que confluyen en un espacio geográfico determinado. La primera se extiende desde el noroeste hispánico hasta el sur del valle del Tajo, y otra región muy distintiva ocupa exclusivamente la región central de Lusitania, en torno al valle del Tajo. La coincidencia en esta última región de los teónimos y nombres personales característicos de las dos áreas culturales se interpreta a partir de un movimiento migratorio de grupos de población desde las regiones occidentales del territorio lusitano-galaico situadas al norte del Sistema Central y del río Duero, hacia el sur de este sistema montañoso, donde se integrarían con las poblaciones que habitaban en la Lusitania central. Las consecuencias de estas migraciones de comunidades en busca de tierras cultivables habrían sido un factor de las luchas entre romanos y lusitanos a mediados del s. II a.C.
Rituales agrarios en la iconografía ibérica de época tardía (ss. II-I a.C.). A propósito de un excepcional vaso figurado del Cabeço de Mariola (Alfafara, Alacant; Bocairent, València)
Authors: Grau Mira Ignasi , Amorós López Iván , Segura Martí Josep Mari
Published: May 2022

En este trabajo presentamos un excepcional vaso figurado hallado en las excavaciones arqueológicas en el oppidum ibérico del Cabeço de Mariola, en la divisoria de las actuales provincias de Alicante y Valencia. En primer lugar, se expone su contexto de aparición, una vivienda destruida en los inicios del s. I a.C. A continuación, se analiza pormenorizadamente el vaso y sus imágenes, que plasman dos escenas de ofrenda acompañadas de danzas procesionales y música. Dichas prácticas se ponen en relación con cultos agrarios muy arraigados en el Mediterráneo antiguo, vinculados con divinidades relacionadas con el cereal y al vino, a las que se ofrecen los primeros frutos.

Dos cadenas para el Documental en España. Uso y sentido del género en TVE (1958-1975)
Authors: Navarro Sierra Nuria , García Herrero Ismael
Published: May 2022

Esta investigación explica cómo se estructuró la programación documental de Televisión Española en sus dos cadenas desde 1958 hasta 1975. El objetivo principal es entender qué significó este género de no ficción dentro de la programación de TVE y qué lugar ocupó en las parrillas televisivas y en la Historia de la Televisión en España. Se han analizado todos los contenidos documentales conservados de producción propia y ajena, en formato serie o película, así como su distribución por franjas horarias, días de la semana y otras variables que aparece en la parrilla de TVE en el periodo de esta investigación. El análisis se realiza a través de un estudio exploratorio y descriptivo del género documental para el que se ha elaborado una base de datos que incluye el total de 6.835 emisiones documentales. Se constata la existencia de un reparto de estos espacios en dos tipos de documentales en la parrilla. Por un lado, contenidos considerados de primera categoría con importancia en la parrilla televisiva y, por otro lado, aquellos destinados a rellenar espacios en la programación sin importar la procedencia o temática del documental. Dicha diferenciación viene marcada de antemano por parte de la cadena, en lo que se ha denominado, dentro de esta investigación, los formatos de emisión.
Mujeres directivas de televisión: Entre el liderazgo y las desigualdades de género. El caso español
Authors: Marín Lladó Carles , Cervi Laura , Alcolea Díaz Gema
Published: May 2022

El liderazgo femenino en empresas de televisión en España está lejos de consolidarse, a pesar de los grandes avances en Europa y en otros países desarrollados en la última década. El objetivo de este estudio es observar cómo la masculinización del poder y los estereotipos de género continúan provocando un lastre en el ascenso de la mujer en puestos directivos de alto nivel en televisión. El método utilizado ha sido el análisis cualitativo, a partir de la entrevista personalizada. Los resultados muestran no solo las dificultades de la mujer en su trabajo como directiva, así como las trabas que sufre en la construcción de su propio liderazgo, sino la problemática que entraña la búsqueda, lenta y complicada, de la igualdad entre mujeres y hombres en la sociedad actual.
Unravelling migration media coverage: How migrants and immigration were portrayed in Spain during the refugee crisis (2015-2018)
Authors: Rodríguez-Pérez Carlos , Jivkova-Semova Dimitrina , Pérez-Vara Eva , Asadi Nastaran , Kreutler Marcus
Published: May 2022

Immigration emerges as a relevant topic in the analysis of media coverage. This case of study identifies that the media coverage adopted a more predominantly political frame rather than a social or human frame. Also, there were significant differences between the presence of migrant and non-migrant news sources, while non-migrant speakers were not judgmental regarding migration. Likewise, news framing influences the selection of news coverage. The political frame over-represented the political actors and international institutions and under-represented migrants. Nevertheless, when it comes to the human-interest angle, migrants are the most common sources. Our results contribute to the literature regarding the description of the issue of immigration focused on the information sources.
Las “dos orillas”. La deslegitimación del PSOE en el discurso comunista (1988-1996)
Authors: Treglia Emanuele
Published: May 2022

El artículo pretende analizar las estrategias discursivas que, entre 1988 y 1996, fueron utilizadas por los comunistas españoles con la finalidad de deslegitimar el PSOE, entonces en el Gobierno. Bajo el liderazgo de Julio Anguita, el PCE e IU adoptaron una línea de confrontación frontal con los socialistas que quedó sintetizada en la fórmula de las “dos orillas”. Según ésta, los comunistas y sus aliados eran los únicos actores situados en la orilla izquierda. El PSOE, en cambio, se situaba en la orilla derecha, puesto que era portador de un proyecto regresivo en términos de valores, derechos sociales y libertades democráticas. El corpus del artículo examinará estos esquemas retóricos y sus lógicas de fondo, mientras que las conclusiones evidenciarán tanto sus limitaciones como su legado.
Hibridaciones de ficción y realidad en la obra de Licínio Azevedo. Tres paradigmas: A colheita do diabo (1988), A arvore dos antepasados (1996) y Desobediencia (2002)
Authors: Jiménez de las Heras José Antonio , Muñoz Gallego Almudena
Published: May 2022

La hibridación entre ficción y realidad en los relatos cinematográficos de ficción es una tendencia a nivel mundial. Desafiar los límites entre ficción y documental, borrar sus líneas de separación, implica un ejercicio estilístico, narrativo e ideológico que los cineastas del S. XXI han tomado como campo de experimentación prioritario. Kiarostami, Loach, los Dardenne, Sokurov, Kaurismaki recorren esta senda. Un camino que los cines africanos, desde su nacimiento en los años 60, han tomado de forma natural debido a las condiciones de producción, a la idiosincrasia de sus cineastas, a su formación y a una voluntad ideológica de compromiso con la realidad que les ha llevado, una y otra vez, a desafiar dichos límites. En este panorama, destaca la cinematografía Mozambiqueña y su principal cineasta, Licinio Azevedo. Documentalista de origen, Azevedo evolucionará hacia la ficción, manteniendo siempre la vinculación con la realidad, como parte de su compromiso social e ideológico con el pueblo mozambiqueño y sus espectadores. Abordamos aquí algunos de sus trabajos ficcionales, los más estimulantes desde ese planteamiento fronterizo entre la ficción y la no ficción, para revelar a un cineasta que debería situarse entre los más interesantes del continente, en una historia del cine en constante evolución.

هدفت هذه الدراسة الى معرفة "القياس المحاسبي لتكلفة جودة الخدمات المصرفية الإسلامية في اليمن دراسة تحليلية على بنك التضامن الإسلامي الدولي حيث يتم التطرق الى النظام الفعال للقياس المحاسبي لجودة تكلفة الخدمات المصرفية الإسلامية وكيفية تطوير الخدمات المصرفية وتحديثها وتخفيض تكلفتها بما يخدم التطور في القطاع المصرفي الإسلامي والذي ناجم عن ضعف نظام الأتمتة وعدم توافر البيانات المحاسبية والإحصائية الكافية. واعتمدت الدراسة على منهج الدراسة على الأسلوب الاستقرائي والوصفي التحليلي والتاريخي والاستنباطي من خلال تطبيق القياس المحاسبي لتكلفة جودة الخدمات المصرفية الإسلامية على بنك التضامن الإسلامي الدولي في اليمن للعام المالي 2012 م نظرا للتوفر بيانات مالية كاملة خلال هذا العام والازدهار الذي كانت تمر به البنوك خلال تلك الفترة. وقد خلصت الرسالة إلى أنه لا يوجد نظام للجودة في مصرف التضامن الإسلامي الدولي، إضافة الى ضعف الاهتمام من قبل إدارة مصرف التضامن الإسلامي الدولي وكوادره الفنية بتكلفة الجودة. كما أنه عند الاطلاع على القوائم المالية للسنة المالية المنتهية في 31/12/2012م اتضح أن المصرف لا يوجد لديه نظام للتكاليف عند احتساب تكاليف الخدمات المصرفية المقدمة من قبل المصرف، وإنما يتم قيد جميع التكاليف على مصروفات إدارية وعمومية وإهلاك، وتبين ان الاستخدام الأمثل للموارد المتاحة وتقلل نسب الهدر والضياع والفشل في تقديم الخدمات المصرفية بما يوفر تكاليف المواد والعمل والأجور والوقت والمصاريف وهي عناصر التكاليف الأساسية في الحاضر والمستقبل مما يساعد المصرف على القدرة على المنافسة في السوق المحلية والخارجية. وخلصت الدراسة الى ضرورة اهتمام مصرف التضامن الإسلامي الدولي بتكاليف الجودة من حيث قياسها والإفصاح عنها في القوائم المالية لإن الاهتمام بتكلفة الجودة وإعطائها المكانة الملائمة، سوف يؤدي بالتأكيد إلى زيادة حصة المصرف في السوق المحلية والخارجية، وضرورة تطبيق مبادئ إدارة الجودة الشاملة في المصرف من أجل تحقيق التفوق التنافسي على باقي المصارف الإسلامية والبنوك التجارية.
“Se tomo um pileque, dou a vez na direção?”: investigando percepções de adolescentes cabo-verdianos e brasileiros sobre a prevenção de acidentes de trânsito
Authors: Marinho Julio Cesar Bresolin
Published: May 2022

Dirigir sem habilitação e após consumir bebida alcoólica pode gerar graves acidentes de trânsito. A população adolescente necessita de atenção em relação a essa questão. Dessa forma, investigou-se o pensamento dos adolescentes sobre a prevenção de acidentes de trânsito. A pesquisa é qualitativa e como técnica foi utilizada a realização de grupos focais com a utilização de um dilema moral. Participaram 45 adolescentes de Cabo-Verde e do Brasil. Os dados foram analisados mediante técnica da análise do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo e resultaram na construção de quatro discursos, nos quais foi evidenciada a força da heteronomia moral. Para que o sujeito não se exponha e coloque sua vida em risco em um acidente de trânsito, acreditamos ser necessário que ele se perceba como alguém de valor. Para isso, é preciso o desenvolvimento da autoestima, da autoconfiança e do auto-respeito, bem como a construção de representações de si com valor positivo.

Published: May 2022

Introduction: The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 epidemic an international public health emergency on January 30th, 2020. Many patients required ICU admission for advanced respiratory support, including high flow nasal oxygen, and non‐invasive, and invasive mechanical ventilation. Lower Ct values may be associated with disease severity Objective: To observe the Cycle threshold (Ct) value and outcome of the COVID-19 patients admitted in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods: Nasopharyngeal/ oropharyngeal samples were collected via swabs from suspected COVID-19-positive patients admitted to Corona ICU of Teaching Hospital, Dera Ghazi Khan (DG Khan). Samples were proceeded for RNA extraction and amplification and were declared positive on basis of the S-shaped amplification curve at FAM (ORF1) and ROX channel, and a Ct value of ≤40. Results: Out of 59 ICU admissions, 17 were females and 42 males. The highest percentage of mortality was observed in the 60 and above years of age group (78.98%). Ct values were lower in patients who expired as compared to the patients who were discharged (mean 21.052 vs 23.739). Conclusion: Males were more frequently admitted to ICU for management of severe infection by COVID-19 than females. Mortality is associated with increasing age. Cycle threshold (Ct) values were lower in patients who expired than those who recovered Keywords: Cycle threshold, RT-PCR, COVID-19, ICU

Published: May 2022

Background: Dietary assessment is one of the four major components of direct nutritional assessment. Several tools have been established for assessing the dietary intake of individuals as well as the communities. However, dietary intake is a complex exposure variable which is difficult to measure accurately. This study was conducted for needs assessment and suggestions of local dietary assessment tool users (clinical dietitians and researchers) regarding improvements in these tools. Methods: Semi structured interviews were used to conduct this study. A total of ten participants selected using purposive sampling technique were interviewed after which data saturation was reached. The analysis was performed through transcription, meaning condensation, and then establishing data driven themes and patterns. The data thus obtained was represented in tabular and narrative format. Results: Each interview took 45 minutes on average. Twenty Four Hour Recall (24HR) was the most commonly used tool of dietary assessment recorded in 13 out of 14 responses (92.8%) followed by Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) recorded in 10 out of 14 responses (71.4%). A total of six themes emerged for the gaps associated with the use of dietary assessment tools as perceived by interview respondents. Conclusion: Interview data collected from local nutrition and dietetic experts regarding perceived problems in dietary assessment showed that the dietary intake data can be subject to information bias which affects the overall quality of data set. There is a need to acknowledge these errors and find out localized solutions to reduce these errors for improving data quality. Keywords: Dietary assessment; nutritional status assessment; qualitative interviews, information bias

Published: May 2022

Background: Analyzing a blood film is the most accurate approach to determine the number of parasites present. People question which blood film and counting method is the most accurate and can be used again and over again. Objective: To see if thin peripheral blood smear films may identify malaria with little parasitaemia, thick peripheral blood smear films were used as the gold standard. Material and Methods: The study was conducted by the National Institute of Child Health in Karachi's Department of Paediatric Medicine and was a cross-sectional one. 177 people were admitted to the hospital. A vein yielded about 5 milliliters of blood for the experiment. As long as there was a single control band and two testing bands, the test result was positive for both P. falciparum and P. viridans. When the control band and the test band were found to be present, the test verified the presence of P. falciparum. Results were deemed negative if neither the test nor control bands appeared. Comparison of thin peripheral blood smear accuracy to the gold standard of thick peripheral blood smear accuracy was used to assess the thin blood smear diagnostic accuracy. Results: Sixty-one percent of the patients were men, and only 39 percent were women. The average age was 30 years and 15 months. The P.falciparum was 66.0%, the P.vivax was 22.7%, and the P.ovale was 11.3%. With a thick peripheral blood smear film, 52.5 percent were found to have scanty parasitaemia malaria, and 48 percent were found to have it with a thin peripheral blood smear film. The accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity were 95.3%, 87.5%, and 90.9%, respectively. Conclusion: The results of the study showed that thin blood smear films are accurate diagnostic tools 90.9% of the time. It could be used as a second way to confirm a diagnosis of malaria.

Published: May 2022

Background: The main obvious manifestations in dysbetalipiproteinemia (DBL) are Apo-B, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDLc) and Apo-E gene polymorphism, with a remarkable controversy in the results among different workers. The aim of the study was to find a suitable variable or formula for diagnosis of familial or secondary DBL in a sample of Iraqi patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Material and methods: The study involved 50 patients with T2DM (mean age 46.48 ±9.3 years), 26 patients with CVD (mean age: 43.15±7.34 years) and 73 apparently healthy normal control individuals (mean age: 34.51±11.47 years) with almost equal male/female ratio. Serum lipids (TC, TG, HDL-c, LDL-c, VLDL-c, Remnant like particles RLP, Apo-B, and Apo-E) were estimated in patients and controls. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of non-HDL-c and non-HDL-c /Apo-B in the context of discrimination between patients with- and without DBL. Results: All measured serum lipids, were higher in patients than controls, except HDL-c. Using Sniderman algorithm, 13 patients (18.06%) among T2DM and CVD were considered to have DBL, while none of control group had this disorder. Conclusion Based on Sniderman algorithm, ROC revealed a better specificity and sensitivity for non- HDLc to diagnose DBL, Keywords: dysbetalipoproteinemia, Apo-B, Non- HDL cholesterol, Sniderman algorithm, Cardiovascular disease, Diabetes mellitus.

Published: May 2022

Introduction: Cancer now affects more than one in three people in their lifetime. Cancer remains the leading cause of death in many countries. Anthracycline-based chemotherapy has played an important part in the current age of cancer treatment, with earlier diagnosis and novel medicines. Objective: To find out the frequency of cardiac-toxicity (cardiomyopathy) in patient treated with anthracycline Methodology: This Descriptive Study was carried out at the Oncology department of Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar for duration of six months from 20 Dec, 2019 to 20 Jun, 2020. Patients attending the medical oncology department of Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar were included in the study. Demographic data like age, sex was collected in the pre-designed Performa. The patients were sent for echocardiography which was done by cardiologist and ejection fraction was noted. The patients suitable for treatment on anthracycline were started with standard doses for his/her carcinoma which were for leukemia 25mg/m2 weekly for 1 months, for lymphoma (NHL) 50mg/m2 after every 21 days for 4.2 months, for breast carcinoma 60mg/m2 after every 21 days for 2.8 months. Results: As per frequencies and percentages for anthracycline induced cardiomyopathy, 31 (15.0%) patients had anthracycline induced cardiomyopathy. Conclusion: Our research shows that although preventing chronic cardiotoxicity may be challenging, prolong infusion methods for anthracyclines offer a reduced risk, and novel liposomal formulations of doxorubicin may provide less cardiotoxicity as compared to conventional doxorubicin.

Published: May 2022

Poor oral health can have a profound effect on the quality of life. Pain, tooth abscess endurance, eating and chewing difficulty, embarrassment over the form of teeth or missing, discolored, or broken teeth can all have a negative impact on people's everyday life and well-being. In the current study majority of respondents practised appropriate oral hygiene habits such as brushing twice a day using a toothbrush and toothpaste for 2 to 3 minutes. Almost 88 percent were aware of the unhealthy gingival condition and the effects of plaque formation. Approximately 53.14 percent were aware of gum illnesses, and 50.14 percent believed that gum diseases might be avoided if proper oral hygiene practices were followed. Nearly half of the youngsters (52.1 percent) said they would only go to the dentist if they were in pain, despite the fact that the majority (79.4 percent) said regular dental checkups were vital. Fear was stated as the primary reason for not attending the dentist (67.28 percent). The study concluded that the most frequent oral hygiene device used for cleaning teeth is a toothbrush with toothpaste; it was discovered that a larger proportion of students cleansed their teeth in the morning. The primary reason for seeing a dentist was for dental discomfort. Further studies related to knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of the students about oral health can be encouraged.

Se evaluó y comparó el comportamiento del bentos (en un amplio espectro de tamaños: macrofauna, meiofauna metazoaria, foraminíferos y bacterias heterótrofas gigantes) durante la evolución de El Niño Costero 2017 (ENC 2017), en base al análisis de muestras replicadas de sedimento (mediante draga y multisacatestigo), parámetros geoquímicos y oceanográficos del fondo, en tres estaciones (33, 94 y 178 m) localizadas frente a Callao (12°S). A pesar del fuerte calentamiento superficial observado y la anómala descarga de los ríos, el impacto de ENC 2017 sobre la distribución del oxígeno disuelto (OD), tanto en la columna deagua como cerca al fondo, no fue significativo; de hecho, la profundidad de la oxiclina se mantuvo cerca de la superficie (por encima de los 20 m, a 15 mn). Similarmente, la geoquímica del sedimento no exhibió cambios estacionales inusuales, por ejemplo, en la concentración de sulfuros (H2 S, gradualmente más intenso con la profundidad). En la macrofauna (desde meses previos a ENC 2017), se observó un descenso progresivo en la abundancia del poliqueto espiónido Paraprionospio pinnata y, por el contrario, un aumento de Magelona phyllisae (en menor magnitud que P. pinnata). A diferencia de estos anélidos, tanto moluscos bivalvos del género Pitar como bacterias del género compuesto Candidatus Marithioploca fueron relativamente frecuentes (especialmente en las estaciones más someras). De igual forma, nemátodos de vida libre acompañantes de la macrofauna y particularmente integrantes de la meiofauna (e.g. Desmodora sp., Halalaimus sp., Dichromadora sp., Sabatieria sp.) fueron hallados recurrentemente durante todo el período de estudio. Los foraminíferos calcáreos dominaron en la mayor parte del estudio, en tanto que los foraminíferos de testa blanda (alogrómidos) y los aglutinados fueron importantes en los centímetros subsuperficiales y hacia la zona oceánica, respectivamente; esta comunidad no mostró mayores cambios en las tres estaciones estudiadas, aunque especies calcáreas como Bolivina seminuda y Buliminella tenuata tuvieron una mayor contribución en la estación intermedia (94 m). En contraste a otros eventos, la débil o inexistente profundización de la oxiclina frente a Callao durante ENC 2017, no perturbó las condiciones disóxicas habituales del bentos en la costa central peruana (e.g. OD < 0,1/0,5 mL.L-1). En este contexto, nuestro trabajo ilustra una respuesta poco conocida en relación con eventos El Niño, de acuerdo con su origen, evolución y alcance.

Overview on remote sensing image scene classification using deep learning
Authors: Chakranarayan Anjali , Damdoo Rina
Published: May 2022

Now a days, deep learning is becoming very famous dueto its power fulability of learning. Deep learning has been applied for remote sensing image analysis tasks including scene classification. Remote sensing has seen an enormous increase in the enhancement of digital images captured from satellites that cover almost all angle of the surface of the earth. This growth in data has forced the community of the remote sensing to apply deep learning algorithms to solve different remote sensing tasks. Convolutional neural networks have obtained huge success in the field of scene classification. The current best scene classification approaches are still far from achieving the human’s ability to classify scene types with a few labelled samples. This study provides a systematic survey of deep learning methods for remote sensing image scene classification by covering mover than 9papers.Inthispaper, we provide a brief discussion on Convolutional neural networks. Here we also discussed few-shot learning algorithm to overcome the gap between the current understanding level of machine and human-level performance.
Gesture controlled interaction using hand pose model
Authors: Damdoo Rina , Gupta Ashutosh
Published: May 2022

Direct use of the hand as an input device is a smart method for providing natural human-computer interaction (HCI). Hand pose estimation is an attractive topic for research in recent years. It has been widely used in virtual reality. The domain of computer vision-based human hand three-dimensional shape and hand pose estimation has fascinated momentous attention recently due to its key role in various applications, such as natural human-computer interactions. Hand pose estimation is difficult due to some challenges. First, we need to detect the human hand which is very changeable. Second, the high degree of freedom leads to difficulties in pose estimation. In this paper, we aim to build a hand pose estimation system that can correctly detect a human hand and estimate its pose which can be useful in the areas like industrial automation, sign language recognition etc. We integrated a hand pose model with a game named U3D with 6 different gestures. As the object detection methods perform poorly in the palm detection tasks we used 21 hand joints and increased accuracy to approximately 95.63%. We used the Blender 3D computer graphics software toolset for creating animation, visual effects, motion graphics, and interactive unity 3D games.

Acetabular fracture - post operative analgesia peng block an alternative approach
Authors: Gokul S , Kumar B. Arun , Brindha Brindha
Published: May 2022

In hip fractures reductions the commonly used blocks are the femoral nerve block and fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) analgesia and anesthesia. Since the articular branches that innervate the hip joint arise at a higher level along the course of the nerves.[1] Hence these blocks may not provide sufficient analgesia for the hip fractures patients both pre-operatively and post-operatively. Introduction: To overcome this newer techniques are employed these days such as PENG block that are guided by ultra-sound. The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is a technique that involves deposition of local anesthetic in the musculofascial plane between the psoas muscle and the superior pubic ramus [2] This block has been recently described as an effective option for hip analgesia, as it targets the articular branches that supply the hip.[3] It could be very useful for analgesia during the perioperative period. Hence this case report throws light on an intervention using PENG block before surgical correction of hip fractures.
