The continuous technological advancement has provided innovative and attractive electronic devices that led individuals to spend longer times in front of screens. Longer periods of screen time have been linked to poor dietary habits including higher consumption of sugar, low nutritional quality foods like french fries, refined grain products, snacks and desserts, lower intakes of fiber, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Objective: To compare the association between screen time and eating habits among the students of 11 to 25 years. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate eating habits and screen time of 150 students from different schools, colleges and universities of Lahore. Participants were selected through non-probability convenient sampling. Data were collected using a self- constructed questionnaire. In exclusion criteria, students off the selected age group, having no screen time and non-cooperative individuals were excluded. SPSS version 25.0 was used for data analysis. Results: Total participants of study were 150. Few of them were obese (8%) and more were overweight (26%). Some of them were spending 3-5 hours on screen (23%) while more were spending greater than 7 hours (32%). Mostly skipped breakfast (54%), delayed meals (45%), ate above planned limit (57%). Majority consumed fried food (56%) and sweets (44%) while using electronic gadgets. Conclusions: High prevalence of screen time had negatively affected student’s eating patterns. Students with longer screen time usually consumed fast food, junk food, sugary desserts, salty snacks and caffeinated beverages as snacks.

A medical condition that occurs due to interrupted blood supply to the brain leading to restricted oxygen supply to the tissues resulting in cell death is known as “stroke”. It is considered as a second leading cause of death globally and a major cause of disabilities for the patients surviving from its fatality. Monoplegia, Diplegia, Hemiplegia, Quadriplegia, hemiparesis are all the different gifts of the stroke given to multiple patients suffering from it. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the difference between the hemiplegic stroke patients who have undergone physical therapy treatment in contrast to those patients who have not taken any physical therapy treatment. Methods: Cross sectional study design was selected for the performance of the research. Research setting was a Government Sector Hospital. Specific balance and coordination exercises were given to the hemiplegic stroke patients and their effect was observed in the term of their recovery speed. Out of sample of 40 individuals, some have taken physical therapy rehabilitation with varying number of sessions and intensity of exercises while in contrast, some have not taken any physical therapy from scratch following stroke. Brunel Balance Assessment (BBA) scale was measured in relation to the effect of exercises given to the patients. Results: The data analysis has shown significant improvement in balance and different fine motor movements in post training group as compared to those who have not taken physical therapy rehabilitation. Data analysis has clearly shown that percentage of improvement in the condition of patients is directly related to the frequency of exercise given to them in their post stroke period. The BBA scale was having higher values in the patients undergoing physical therapy rehabilitation as compared to the patients who have not undergone any sort of physical therapy rehabilitation. Conclusion: Balance and coordination exercises have impact in the post hemiplegic stroke patients

Published: August 2022

L'érythème polymorphe est une dermatose éruptive aiguë, dont le mécanisme physiopathologique demeure mal cerné, il est caractérisé dans sa forme typique par une éruption cutanée d’éléments en cocarde. Les lésions cutanées peuvent être maculo-papuleuses ou bulleuses, avec ou sans atteinte muqueuse. Il survient à tout âge, mais plus fréquemment chez l'adulte jeune entre 20 et 30 ans.
L’EP est lié dans la grande majorité des cas à une cause infectieuse, le plus souvent herpétique. Son traitement n’est pas encore codifié et les récidives sont très fréquentes.
Cet article rapporte le cas d’une patiente diagnostiquée d’un érythème polymorphe majeur et prise en charge au service d’Odontologie chirurgicale du Centre de Consultations et de Traitements Dentaires de Casablanca.
L’anamnèse a permis d’établir une symptomatologie de lésions buccales hyperalgiques empêchant la patiente de s’alimenter ainsi qu’une lésion en cocarde au niveau de l’avant bras. Des antécédents d’herpès labial ont été mentionnés.
Le contexte et la symptomatologie clinique ont orienté vers le diagnostic d’érythème polymorphe d’origine herpétique.
Un traitement à base d’antiviral, d’anti-inflammatoire stéroïdien et de bain de bouche associé au Laser Diode a été initialement mis en place, l’évolution a été favorable mais les récidives fréquentes.
Versatility of Anterior approache for management of Odontoid fractures
Authors: Ranade Deepak , Rege Ishant , More Bhagirath
Published: August 2022

Odontoid fractures comprise about 20 % of all cervical fractures. Odontoid fractures have been classified according to Anderson and D’Alonzo classification system. Odontoid fractures can be managed by both anterior and posterior approaches and there are various schools of thought favouring both approaches. This paper attempts to highlight the versatility of the anterior approach to treat varying types of odontoid fractures. Indications for surgical management include age of the patient more than 55 years , displacement of fracture fragment more than 4mm, non union and disruption of transverse atlantal ligament. The odontoid has 55% less trabecular bone than the body of axis. This trabecular bone is required for callus formation and bone healing , hence non-union of type 2 fractures is more common as compared to type 3 fractures. In the present report , we have deployed 3 different techniques using the anterior approach for fixation of odontoid fracture. Plate and screw fixation is far more effective as the odontoid is a non-weight bearing structure, and it compresses the fragments for better union. In all the 3 cases , we found good evidence of radiographic healing of the fracture in the post-op period with no significant immediate or delayed complications. Neck mobility was limited to some extent with placement of transarticular screws ,but was preserved completely in the other two patients. Based on our experience with these cases , we strongly advocate that successful reduction of the fracture with adequate fusion can be achieved by using anterior approaches without restricting neck mobility (plate and screw fixation or odontoid screw fixation) and the same approach can be used to fix the C1 and C2 facet joints in case of irreducible/incompetent transverse ligament injuries.
Narratives Triggering Challenging Experiences of Failure, Abandonment, Rejection, and Criticism in Romantic Relationships
Authors: SEN Gamze
Published: August 2022

Kiesler's interpersonal cycle model has become a powerful tool for conceptualizing, organizing, and evaluating interpersonal tendencies in recent years. Accordingly, the interpersonal cyclical model provides a theoretical basis for the nature of relationships and thus facilitates an understanding of 'self' and 'the others’' relationships. The first of the two main purposes of our study is to create valid and reliable stories about the four themes (failure, abandonment, rejection, and criticism) that we define as challenging life events. The second one offers a theoretical example of these stories in interpersonal relations, based on the model. For this purpose, two different samples were defined. In the first, twelve stories were created, inspired by sample situations of failure, abandonment, rejection, and criticism, received from a total of 40 people aged between 18-35 (age: M= 25.46, Sd=1.66). The level of representation of the target theme of the stories was examined by three judges and ten reviewers who are experts in clinical psychology. Secondly, to test the effectiveness of the scenarios, five judges with theoretical knowledge on Interpersonal Schemas and three separate judges were involved to evaluate their codability in accordance with the Model. At this stage, the reliability coefficient for all stories was found to be high and significant (ICC: .84 to .99, p= .025) according to the results of the pilot study, which was performed on 15 people (age: M= 22.43, S=3.87), seven of whom were male, and the intraclass correlation coefficiency. It was decided that the psychometric properties of the Story Completion Inventory in Romantic Relationships were at levels that could be studied within the framework of Cognitive Interpersonal Theory and could be used in the literature.

Published: August 2022

Selfie behavior is defined as taking a photo of oneself via a mobile phone and sharing it on social media. The personality traits or psychological processes related to selfie behavior have become a recent interest in psychology. In this study; the mediating role of fear of missing out and general belongingness in the relationship between narcissistic admiration/narcissistic rivalry and selfitis behaviors was examined. 440 Instagram users aged between 18 and 65 (74% Female) participated in the study online. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Scale, Selfitis Behavior Scale, Fear of Missing Out Scale, and General Belongingness Scale. Results indicated that narcissistic admiration and narcissistic rivalry are positively correlated with selfitis behaviors. The indirect effect of narcissistic admiration on selfitis behaviors was significant through fear of missing out and general belongingness. On the other hand, while fear of missing out mediated the relationship between narcissistic rivalry and obsessive selfitis behaviors; the mediating role of general belongingness was not significant. Findings indicated that different dimensions of narcissism may affect selfitis behaviors depending on an individual’s different psychological processes. It can be argued that selfie behaviors may be a way of establishing interpersonal relationships on social media. The current study focused on a single social media application and selfie behaviors only. For this reason, it is suggested to examine social media behaviors in the context of different social media applications.

Materials and Methods: A hospital-based prospective observational study was planned and conducted over a period of 12 months. Patients who attended the various OPDs were included in the study. Prescriptions were collected from the respective consulting departments and pharmacy.

Results: A total of 2490 patients prescription were analyzed. There was female preponderance (54.22%). Majority (45.74%) were in the age group of 51–64 years. General medicine was the highest (41.36%) visited patients. Neuropathic pain was the most prevalent disease condition among the various age group (57.67%), and predominant between 40 and 65 years (55.86%). Total of 12,220 drugs were prescribed, most frequently prescribed drugs belong to category of plain pregabalin 75 mg (53.37%) with female predominance, with maximum prescription from the medicine department (40%). Among the FDC, pregabalin 75 mg with nortriptyline 10 mg was the highest prescribed drug by the orthopedic department (41%). Extended release pregabalin 75 mg (13.04%) and low dose pregabalin 50 mg (2.19%) were also prescribed in our study.

Conclusion: The prevalence of pregabalin prescription was maximum to neuropathic pain followed by radicular pain, trigeminal neuralgia, claudication, and herpetic neuralgia. Plain pregabalin 75 mg is preferred by most of the departments, few preferred extended release of 75 mg. Among the various FDC, pregabalin 75 mg with nortriptyline 10 mg and with methylcobalamine 750 mcg were prescribed by many departments.

Published: August 2022

The use of vitamins and minerals as supplements is highly prevalent in most patient populations, owing to their purported long-term benefits and relative lack of harm on continued use. However, similarly marketed supplements may contain ingredients that can harm the user. Our case highlights a 45-year-old male who ingested several tablets of a supplement known as vitamin B17, Amygdalin, with subsequent fatigue, mild lactic acidosis, and worsening shortness of breath. He was treated as a case of cyanide toxicity based on clinical suspicion and improved subsequently.
The case describes the potential harm from unregulated substances, particularly those purchased online. Vitamin B17, or Amygdalin, may be present in various anti-cancer supplementation and caution is advised in its use due to its association with cyanide poisoning.

Authors: Magoma Anthony , Mbwambo Haika , Dobogo Hermas A
Published: August 2022

This study aims to examine the influence of bank-specific factors namely taxation, asset tangibility, profitability, and bank size on listed banks capital structure in Tanzania from 2016 to 2020. The study used an explanatory research design to determine the cause and effect relationship between the response variable and the four explanatory variables of Tanzanian listed banks. The study's population included all of the DSE's listed banks, with the researcher sampling seven of them. The test of multiple linear regression was carried out and findings revealed the capital structure of listed banks in Tanzania are affected by asset tangibility and tax as these two explanatory variables were significant at 5% level. However, the study reveals that profitability and bank size has no statistically significant impact on the capital structure of listed banks in Tanzania. This study is limited to seven listed banks at the Dar es Salaam Stock of Exchange (DSE) over a five-year period (2016 to 2020). The researcher makes several recommendations based on this premise. First, additional research should be conducted on other banks that are not listed at DSE. Second, other explanatory variables such as liquidity position, bank age, and sales growth potentials, to name a few, can be used. Third, the scope of the study can be expanded in terms of sampled units and time period covered. Lastly, listed banks should give consideration to tax and asset tangibility when in determining their optimal capital structure.
SeSPHR A Methodology for Secure Sharing of Personal Health Records in the Cloud
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Dept. of Master of Computer Applications, Narayana Engineering College, Gudur., V Kasthuraiah
Published: August 2022

The widespread acceptance of cloud-based services in the healthcare sector has resulted in cost effective and convenient exchange of Personal Health Records (PHRs) among several participating entities of the e-Health systems. Nevertheless, storing the confidential health information to cloud servers is susceptible to revelation or theft and calls for the development of methodologies that ensure the privacy of the PHRs. Therefore, we propose a methodology called SeSPHR for secure sharing of the PHRs in the cloud. The SeSPHR scheme ensures patient-centric control on the PHRs and preserves the confidentiality of the PHRs. The patients store the encrypted PHRs on the un-trusted cloud servers and selectively grant access to different types of users on different portions of the PHRs. A semi- trusted proxy called Setup and Re-encryption Server (SRS) is introduced to set up the public/private key pairs and to produce the re- encryption keys. Moreover, the methodology is secure against insider threats and also enforces a forward and backward access control. Furthermore, we formally analyze and verify the working of SeSPHR methodology through the High Level Petri Nets (HLPN). Performance evaluation regarding time consumption indicates that the SeSPHR methodology has potential to be employed for securely sharing the PHRs in the cloud. Key Words:: Access Control, Cloud Computing, Personal Health Records, Privacy.

Published: August 2022

Abstract:The financial success of Android software stores like Google Play, as well as the incentive scheme they provide for popular apps, make them attractive targets for fraud and malicious behavior. Some fraudulent developers deceptively boost the search rank and popularity of their apps while malicious developers use app markets as a launch pad for their malware. In this project, introduce FairPlay, a novel system that discovers and leverages traces left behind by fraudsters, to detect both malware and apps subjected to search rank fraud. FairPlay correlates review activities and uniquely combines detected review relations with linguistic and behavioral signals gleaned from Google Play app data in order to identify suspicious apps. Adversaries can have chances to launch attacks by gathering victim’s information continuously. This project shows that an adversary can successfully infer a victim’s vertex identity and community identity by the knowledge of degrees within a time period.

Published: August 2022

The vulnerability of Cloud Computing Systems (CCSs) to Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) is a significant concern to government and industry. We present a cloud architecture reference model that incorporates a wide range of security controls and best practices,and a cloud security assessment model – Cloud-Trust – that estimates high level security metrics to quantify the degree of confidentiality and integrity offered by a CCS or cloud service provider (CSP). Cloud-Trust is used to assess the security level of four multi- tenant IaaS cloud rchitectures equipped with alternative cloud security controls and to show the probability of CCS penetration (high value data compromise) is high if a minimal set of security controls are implemented. CCS penetration probability drops substantially if a cloud defense in depth security architecture is adopted that protects virtual machine (VM) images at rest, strengthens CSP an cloud tenantsystem administrator access controls, and which employs other network security controls to minimize cloud network surveillance and discovery of live VMs. Keywords: - Cloud Computing, Trust, Trust Management, Trust Models, Privacy, Trust metric, enables CSPs to start, stop, move, and restart

A Driving Decision Strategy (DDS) Based on Machine Learning for an Autonomous Vehicle
Authors: Kumar A. Sanjeev
Published: August 2022

A current autonomous vehicle determines its driving strategy by considering only external factors (Pedestrians, road conditions, etc.) without considering the interior condition of the vehicle. To solve the problem, this paper proposes “A Driving Decision Strategy(DDS) Based on Machine learning for an autonomous vehicle” which determines the optimal strategy of an autonomous vehicle by analyzing not only the external factors, but also the internal factors of the vehicle (consumable conditions, RPM levels etc.). The DDS learns a genetic algorithm using sensor data from vehicles stored in the cloud and determines the optimal driving strategy of an autonomous vehicle. This paper compared the DDS with MLP and RF neural network models to validate the DDS. In the experiment, the DDS had a loss rate approximately 5% lower than existing vehicle gateways and the DDS determined RPM, speed, steering angle and lane changes 40% faster than the MLP and 22% faster than the RF[1].
