Published: May 2024

The antibacterial activities of phenothiazine and sulphonamide derivatives have attracted so much interest. In this study, the synthesis and characterization of phenothiazine-3-sulphonamide derivatives and evaluation of their antimicrobial activity against the following pathogenic microorganisms is reported.  Two Gram-positive bacteria; (Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC: 6538) and Streptococcus pyogenes (ATCC: 27853)), two Gram-negative bacteria; (Escherichia coli(ATCC: 3008), and Salmonella typhi (ATCC: 25175)) as well as one fungus (Aspergillus fumigatus (ATCC: 10231)) were used while ciprofloxacin, gentamycin and ketoconazole served as standard drugs. The synthesis of the derivatives was achieved through a base catalyzed the reaction of 4-chloroaniline with 1-naphthylamine to form 1-(naphthalen-1-yl)benzene-1,4-diamine. This intermediate was then treated with sulphur and iodine to yield the phenothiazine derivative while subsequent treatment of the phenothiazine compound with sulphonyl chlorides gave the final products. The synthesized compounds were characterized via proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic techniques. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of each compound was then determined using the agar well diffusion method. To predict the binding energies and patterns of the synthesized compounds with target proteins of the above-mentioned microorganisms, molecular docking simulations were run using Autodock Vina software (version 4.2). The spectra data of the compounds for FTIR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectral data were consistent with the assigned structures of the synthesized compounds. The binding energies (kcal/mol) for in silico antimicrobial studies were in the range -5.1 to -7.6 kcal/mol. The MIC values were in the range 3.5 to 1.0 mg/L. The results of the in vitro test revealed that the synthesized compounds exhibit promising antimicrobial activity and showed excellent bactericidal and fungicidal activities. The results obtained showed that the synthesized compounds possess drug-like properties and are good starting materials for drug production.

Authors: Neetu Settia  , Krishan Mohan Mandal
Published: May 2024

Radar, short for Radio Detection and Ranging, is a system that utilizes radio waves to determine various characteristics of objects in its vicinity. This powerful technology enables us to measure the distance, direction, and radial velocity of objects relative to its location. Radar has found numerous applications in various domains, including aviation, maritime, space exploration, defence, meteorology, and mapping. In this paper, we explore a novel approach to radar systems by integrating Arduino technology and ultrasonic sensors. Unlike traditional radar systems that solely rely on waves, this setup introduces the use of ultrasonic signals, resulting in a significant change. The setup includes an Arduino board that is connected to a servo motor responsible for moving a sensor. This sensor detects and measures objects within a specific range. To simplify the programming process for the Arduino board, we utilize the Arduino IDE, while the Processing IDE enhances visualization through a user interface. By combining both hardware and software in this innovative manner, the radar system successfully achieves object detection and visualization, opening up possibilities for various applications such as security, navigation, and more.

Authors: Mukesh Kumar
Published: May 2024

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is a healthcare technology that allows healthcare providers to monitor patients' health remotely using various medical devices and communication technologies. IoT facilitates the integration of diverse medical devices and sensors into a cohesive RPM system. The collected data is transmitted in real-time to healthcare providers or data collection centres where it is analysed and interpreted. During the COVID-19, healthcare facilities faced immense pressure to accommodate a surge in patients. RPM offered a way to monitor and manage non-critical patients remotely, and reduces the risk of exposure to infectious diseases, for both patients and healthcare providers. The traditional approach of data collection was cloud-based platform. In recent times, edge computing has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional cloud-centric architectures, offering solutions to their inherent limitations. In this approach, computation and data storage are closer to the data source, and offers lower latency, reduced bandwidth consumption, and enhanced privacy and security. However, in practical implementation, several factors must be considered, including the scalability, interoperability, and cost-effectiveness of edge computing solutions. Utilizing the close proximity, decentralized processing, and real-time analytics functionalities of edge computing, it is possible to tackle the security issues inherent in RPM systems while maintaining efficient data transmission and processing. This paper proposes a pioneering method for enhancing security in Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) by integrating edge computing strategies.

Eugenia e literatura modernista
Authors: Seabra Coelho George Leonardo , da Silva Ramos Carneiro Márcia Regina
Published: May 2024

Esta pesquisa apresenta um estudo sobre os artigos de opinião de Plínio Salgado e Cassiano Ricardo – publicados no jornal Correio Paulistano – enquanto consumo cultural das posições de José Vasconcelos sobre a “raça cósmica”. É importante destacar, ainda, que os artigos de opinião tratados aqui traçaram as linhas mestras do verde-amarelismo. Problematizamos, também, como o modernismo verde-amarelo propôs outra reinterpretação da eugenia, que valorizava a contribuição do indígena, do africano e do imigrante europeu na formação racial brasileira. Em seguida, analisamos como as posições sobre miscigenação expostas nesses textos serviram de pano de fundo para inspirar a escrita do poema Martim Cererê (1927), de Cassiano Ricardo. Assim, levando em consideração o predomínio das teorias do branqueamento nos primeiros anos do século XX, defendemos que as apropriações das teses vasconcelianas pelos dois escritores modernistas produziram outro resultado como, por exemplo, a “raça cósmica” como valorização da mestiçagem em contraposição à raça pura.

All is War
Authors: Grace Paul
Published: May 2024

This text is an examination of how photographs become prisoners of the discourse of war. It explores how photographs come to be subjugated by text, and are set to work promoting the normalization of warfare. But the potential of photographs to evade the suppression of their critical potential is the real target of this analysis. Its visual focus is upon two instances of photographic recontextualization in the work of two artists whose oeuvre has been nurtured in different ways by the conflicts of the twentieth century. Gerhard Richter’s photographic archive Atlas, and Christian Boltanski’s reconfiguration of the German wartime propaganda magazine Signal provide examples of small acts of discursive violence committed against what Michel Foucault characterizes as the violence of discourse. In these two works, it becomes possible to glimpse the extent to which everyday life and experience is saturated by the logic of war, and perhaps to imagine states beyond this. A number of theoretical conflicts are navigated in order to examine the differing function of images and text in the discourse of power, particularly between the epistemic analysis of Michel Foucault and the more psychoanalytically inflected thought of Jacques Derrida, Roland Barthes and Margaret Iverson. This is a reparatory reading which seeks to find, among the antinomies, a common position that provides a means of undermining hegemonic narratives of warfare.

O tema deste artigo é a interação e a convivência social como potencializadoras da aprendizagem de um estudante com deficiência intelectual grave, diagnosticado com a síndrome de Pierre Robin. Nos primeiros atendimentos, só ficava na escola acompanhado pela mãe, gritava, queria ir embora, não interagia. Trata-se de um estudo de caso com aplicação de estratégias metodológicas específicas que respeitam as limitações impostas pela deficiência, visto que, a educação de verdade é aquela que começa respeitando as necessidades do estudante, conforme sustenta Cunha (2008). Isto posto, o objetivo geral é analisar os desafios específicos enfrentados pelo estudante com deficiência intelectual grave no contexto dos conteúdos curriculares e discutir como as estratégias pedagógicas, a interação social, a afetividade e a musicalidade podem ser utilizadas para superar esses desafios e promover um aprendizado significativo. A partir das estratégias metodológicas utilizadas constatou-se que a afetividade e a musicalidade são recursos que enriqueceram a prática educativa e auxiliaram no desenvolvimento da expressão corporal. No entanto, foi necessário afastar-se das práticas cotidianas da sala de aula, visto que, o estudante não está alfabetizado, suas habilidades verbais não estão desenvolvidas e não interagia, mas, ao estabelecer um vínculo afetivo, passou a demonstrar algumas formas de interação por meio de gestos e pranchas de comunicação alternativa. Por fim, diante dos desafios específicos de cada estudante da educação especial, identificar e implementar estratégias e práticas pedagógicas e metodologias inovadoras se faz necessário. Só assim será possível proporcionar o acesso igualitário à educação e promover uma aprendizagem significativa e inclusiva.

The problem of gas leakage and fire is often encountered in our day-to-day life. LPG, Liquified Petroleum Gas, is highly flammable gas used as fuel in heating appliances. Leakage of this gas raises the risk of building fire, suffocation or an explosion. Most of the fire-breakouts in industries are due to gas leaks. These cause dreadful damage to the equipment, human life leading to injuries, deaths, and environment. The mentioned problem can be solved with the development of reliable techniques to detect gas leakage. We proposed a system to detect gas leakage automatically with the help of gas sensor and Arduino microcontroller and alerts the person if there is gas leakage by buzzer alarm and auto cutoff regulator.

Biometrics is now widely used all over the world for the identification and verification of people and their signatures. A person’s handwritten signature is a unique identifying work of human that is primarily used and recognized in banking and other financial and legal operations. Handwritten signatures, on the other hand, are becoming increasingly valuable due to their historical significance as a target of deception. The Sign Verification System (SVS) tries to determine whether a sign is genuine (created by the specified individual) or forged (produced by an impostor). Using images of scanned signatures and other documents without dynamic information about the signing process has proven difficult, especially in offline (static) situations. The use of Deep Learning algorithms to learn feature signature picture representations has been well-documented in the literature over the last five to ten years. Here, we examine how the subject has been studied throughout the last few decades, as well as the most recent developments and future study plans.

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have emerged as a revolutionary tool in the field of medical imaging, offering solutions to long-standing challenges such as the scarcity of annotated datasets and variability in image quality. This study investigates the application of GANs, particularly Deep Convolutional GANs (DCGANs), in synthesizing realistic brain MRI images. The primary objective is to augment existing datasets, thereby enhancing the performance of machine learning algorithms used in medical diagnosis and treatment planning. By employing a dataset of brain MRI scans, the DCGAN model is trained to generate high-resolution, realistic images. The quality of the synthesized images is evaluated using quantitative metrics such as Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) and Fréchet Inception Distance (FID), as well as expert visual inspection. The results demonstrate that GAN-generated images can significantly improve the accuracy of tumor detection and segmentation models. This research highlights the potential of GANs to address data limitations in medical imaging and underscores their clinical relevance, paving the way for more accurate and efficient diagnostic tools.

The proliferation of automated teller machine (ATM) usage in modern banking has necessitated robust security measures to safeguard transactions against various threats. Traditional methods of authentication, primarily reliant on Personal Identification Numbers (PINS) and magnetic stripe cards, are increasingly vulnerable to fraudulent activities such as card skimming and PIN theft. In response, biometrical authentication, particularly fingerprint recognition, has emerged as a promising solution to enhance ATM security. The fundamental concept revolves around the biometric phenomenon known as “authentication”. Within this project, we present an approach to fingerprint comparison centered on Minutiae Matching Algorithm. In an era where digital transactions are increasingly prevalent, ensuring the security of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) transactions remains paramount.
