The evaluation of infection rate for CoVid-19 cases among vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals using haematological parameters is of interest. Data such as age, gender, occupation, location, signs and symptoms, length of symptoms, date of sample collection and report generation, status of vaccinations, and outcome available in the database was used in this analysis. Ferritin levels, D-dimer values, CRP, troponin-1 levels and platelet count of each CoVid-19 patient were recorded and analysed. Data shows that maximum number of cases was reported during the second wave 143 (51.07%). The common age group affected was 31-40 years 28.56%. The common symptom identified was weakness in arms and legs among the unvaccinated group of CoVid-19 positive group. However, common symptom identified was fatigue (87%) among those who received only the first dose of CoVid vaccine. Nonetheless, the symptom identified was hair loss (68%) among those who received both the doses of CoVid vaccine. Thus, data shows that people do experience severe and life-threatening COVID-19 infection despite receiving the vaccination. Nonetheless, the infection is mild and very few individuals require hospitalization. No deaths are reported in the group that received the vaccination. This is in contrast to the unvaccinated group, which had a severe CoVid-19 infection with few deaths reported.

Measurement of renal function is required for diagnosis and stratification of kidney disease. GFR is considered as the best overall measure of kidney function for diagnosis and treatment of patients with CKD. Measuring GFR is time consuming and hence eGFR is calculated using equations with endogenous markers like SCr. Therefore, it is of interest to examine the accuracy of creatinine based estimates (CrCl and CG formula) of GFR among patients. Thus, 60 in-patients (30 men and 30 women) at the GVP hospital and 40 controls were enrolled in the study. SCr and 24 hrs urine creatinine are estimated using blood sample and same day 24-hr urine collection. SCr is estimated using the Kinetic Jaffe’s method in Auto analyzer for serum and urine. eGFR is calculated using the CG formula for the SCr value. We evaluated the correlation between measured CrCl derived from 24-hr urine collection and calculated/predicted CrCl using the CG equations. A positive correlation was observed between measured GFR and e-GFR in case and control groups.

Fluoride is present naturally in water at < 1.5 ppm and it is considered to be essential for dental and bone enamel mineralization forming fluorapatite. Chronic exposure (> 2ppm) is considered to be toxic and it leads to fluorosis. Fluoride in minor quantities is excreted through sweat, saliva and feaces. Kidneys are the major route of excretion of fluoride and are thus it is the primary organ to be affected. Therefore, it is of interest to assess urinary fluoride among school children with different blood groups at Kolar district, Karnataka, India. Study was conducted in 155 subjects, aged 16-17 years. Data shows that blood group B has high risk of effecting by fluorosis (mean value of urine fluoride = 1.11). However, subjects with negative blood groups are least affected by fluorosis (mean value of urine fluoride =0.30). However, a larger population study is required for validation.

The distribution of stress on short platform switched dental implants is of interest. Hence, the mandibular posterior molar area was modelled using a three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) with a continuous 1.5 mm cortical bone thickness and an inner cancellous bone core. The implants used in the study were 5 mm long, 4.5 mm wide and 3.5 mm wide at the abutments. 120 N of force was applied in both the vertical and oblique (20° and 35°) directions to create a realistic simulation. ANSYS Workbench was generated for each model. Von Mises stress was assessed in the cortical and cancellous bones at varying depths. Ten noded tetrahedron elements with three degrees of freedom per node were employed to interpret translations on the x, y, and z axes. The stress-based biomechanical behaviour of platform switched short osseo-integrated implants varied across all 5 positions in FEM simulations, based on the depth of implant placement, the direction of applied force, and the shape of the bone. Data shows that opposite forces to the vertical forces caused more damage. Thus, the implantation of subcrestal implants resulted in reduced stress on the cortical and cancellous bone.

Authors: Bathusha S.N. Suber , Raj S. Angelin Kavitha
Published: April 2024

The concept of dominance is one of the most important ideas in graph theory for handling random events, and it has drawn the interest from many scholars. Research related to graph energy has garnered a lot focus recently. The application of single-valued neutrosophic graphs (SVNGs) for energy, Laplacian energy, and dominating energy has been recommended by previous studies. In this research, we apply the concepts of single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNS) to graph structures (GSs) and investigate some intriguing features of single-valued neutrosophic graph structures (SVNGS). Moreover, the notions of λJ-dominating energy GS in an SVNGS environment are analyzed in this study. More specifically, illustrative examples are used to develop the adjacency matrix of a λJ-dominating SVNGS, as well as the spectrum of the adjacency matrix and their related theory. Further, the SVNGS λJ-dominating energy is determined. We go over various characteristics and constraints for the energy of SVNGS with λJ-dominating. Further, we introduce the idea of isomorphic and identical λJ-dominating SVNGS energy, which has been studied using relevant examples, and some of its established properties are presented.

Published: April 2024

In the rapidly evolving landscape of mobile applications, the demand for high-quality, performance-driven software is paramount. However, the swift pace of development often leads to the introduction of code smells—bad programming practices that compromise both code quality and application performance. These code smells, if left unaddressed, can result in increased memory consumption, energy consumption, and CPU utilization, ultimately leading to a suboptimal user experience. This paper presents an automated approach for the detection and refactoring of code smells in Android applications, with a focus on improving performance. The proposed approach involves the development of a plugin integrated with Android Studio, which employs static code analysis to identify code smells. The plugin encompasses a customizable rule-based framework that allows for the detection of various code smells unique to Android development. To validate the approach, a comprehensive experiment is conducted. The experiment assesses the effectiveness of the proposed method in detecting code smells and  explores the impact of refactoring on application performance. The results showcase that the proposed plugin successfully detects code smells in various open-source Android applications. Moreover, the integration of refactoring recommendations significantly improves the performance of the applications, as demonstrated through memory, energy, and CPU consumption metrics. Comparison with existing tools reveals that the proposed approach offers superior performance in terms of both code smell detection and refactoring. Additionally, the approach bridges the gap left by some existing tools by identifying previously undetected code smells, such as "string concatenation." The presented method not only enhances code quality but also contributes to the overall performance optimization of Android applications. As mobile applications continue to play an increasingly central role in modern life, the importance of maintaining high-quality code that performs optimally cannot be understated. This work provides a valuable contribution towards achieving these goals, offering developers a powerful tool for ensuring that their applications not only meet but exceed user expectations in terms of quality and performance.

Published: April 2024

This paper proposes an approach to convert real life images into cartoon images using image processing. The cartoon images have sharp edges, reduced colour quantity compared to the original image, and smooth colour regions. With the rapid advancement in artificial intelligence, recently deep learning methods have been developed for image to cartoon generation. Most of these methods perform extremely huge computations and require large datasets and are time consuming, unlike traditional image processing which involves direct manipulation on the input images. In this paper, we have developed an image processing based method for image to cartoon generation. Here, we perform parallel operations of enhancing the edges and quantizing the colour. The edges are extracted and dilated to highlight them in the output colour image. For colour quantization, the colours are assigned based on proposed formulation on separate colour channels. Later, these images are combined and the highlighted edges are added to generate the cartoon image. The generated images are compared with existing image processing approaches and deep learning based methods. From the experimental results, it is evident that the proposed approach generates high quality cartoon images which are visually appealing, have superior contrast and are able to preserve the contextual information at lower computational cost.

Published: April 2024

Over the past few decades, cardiovascular diseases have surpassed all other causes of death as the main killers in industrialised, underdeveloped, and developing nations. Early detection of heart conditions and clinical care can lower the death rate. Based on the patient's various cardiac features, we proposed a model for forecasting heart disease and identifying impending heart disease using machine learning techniques In most cases,input is received through numerical data of various parameters, and output findings are generated in real-time, predicting whether or notthe patient has a disease. We'll use a variety of supervised machine learning methods before deciding which one is best for the model. Existing systems rely on classical deep learning models, which are inefficient and imprecise. They aren't as accurate as the proposed model and take a little longer to process.

This study is concerned with the positive impact of nature- based play on proper physical, social and cognitive child development. The study tackles the problem of conventional play areas in Cairo. Areas characterized by artificial environments and guided play, which limit children’s ability to explore. The aim is to assess the conventional design approach of playgrounds and to reach recommendations for ones that acknowledge and incorporate the benefits of natural features in children’s play spaces. The objectives of the study are to extract guidelines for the enhancement of the physical built environment based on the interaction of child driven play settings and to develop tools to incorporate child play spaces with natural elements. The study adopts a methodology based on interviews and multi-tasked group workshops with children. A sample group of 25 children, aged six to eight years, were interviewed. They were also asked to draw their dream play spaces and to answer a visual questionnaire to record their impressions and suggestions towards play around natural features. The children were observed while playing in conventional playgrounds to record their interactions with the few available natural features. The fieldwork took place in three conventional play settings in Cairo. The results of the study verify that children would choose natural elements to play around, if they were available. Moreover, the results advocate physical, social and cognitive potentials in the availability of natural features within play settings. The study concludes that the conventional design approach of a soft ground with manufactured equipment needs to be revisited to accommodate natural features that offer free play opportunities. Thus, eventually prepare skilful, nature-conscious children.

This article delves into how active learning methods are integrated into architectural education, specifically focusing on the Building Science course. The Building Science course is a crucial component of architectural education and the active learning method offers a practical approach to teaching this course. The study is based on the first-year undergraduate course “M1082 Building Knowledge” at Gazi University, Department of Architecture. In this course, students passively receive information from the instructor and actively participate in learning by designing, drawing and modeling the project on specific subjects. The material of the study consists of 2D technical drawings and 3D models of the works carried out between 2021-2023 and found successful in this course. The participant observation method, one of the qualitative data research methods, was applied in this study while evaluating the selected products. Results indicate that the active learning method enables students to understand structural issues, improve their design skills and transform technical knowledge into practical applications.
