Published: September 2021

ZAG (zinc-α2-glycoprotein) - adipokine, may participate in the mechanism of malnutrition in chronic kidney disease (CKD) as cachexia factor. The transmembrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum - lipase maturation factor 1 (LMF1) is necessary for the secretion and enzymatic activity of lipases and lowering triglycerides level. The aim of the study was to evaluate these markers - ZAG and LMF1, their potential importance in CKD in children. The study included 59 children and adolescents aged 10.7±5.0 years with CKD. Compared with healthy children, serum and urine ZAG levels were higher in children with CKD. A similar relationship was obtained in the comparison of girls and boys between the above groups. We showed a reduced serum and urine concentration of LMF1 in children with CKD. Additionally, ZAG and LMF1 levels in children below 10 years of age and above 10 were no different. There was also no correlation between these markers and serum creatinine (except negative correlation of urinary ZAG), albumin, cholesterol, triglycerides. LMF1 concentration correlated positively with vitamin D level in dialyzed patients. To conclude, elevated serum ZAG levels in children with CKD document that selective kidney damage results in the rise of ZAG concentration, however the specific role of this marker in malnutrition was not documented. Reduced serum LMF1 concentration in children with CKD, did not correlate with standard parameters used to assess lipid metabolism and severity of CKD. The usefulness of LMF1 as the marker of the lipid metabolism disturbances in children with CKD was not proven.

Abstract

The financial performance of a regional government is the ability of a region to explore the financial potential of the region as well as to manage the local financial resources in order to meet the needs of the regional government so that it does not depend on the funding from the central government. This study was aimed to analyze whether fiscal balance transfers such as local own-source revenue, general allocation funds, special allocation funds, and revenue sharing funds might affect the government's financial performance. The study used quantitative analysis techniques with multivariate regression. The object of this research was the district and city governments in South Sumatra in 2014-2016. The results showed that local own-source revenue had a positive effect on the financial performance of local governments. However, there were negative effects of general and special allocation funds on regional government financial performance. For revenue sharing funds, it did not affect financial performance. This means, the greater the contribution of local own-source revenue to finance development and community services the greater increase in the financial performance of local governments. The higher the amount of general allocation funds received from the center, the lower the financial performance of local governments. The large flow of special allocation funds can provide opportunities for budget leakage, which can result in a decrease in the financial performance of local governments.

Keywords: local own-source revenue, fiscal balance transfers, local government financial performance

Aquaculture is one of the indispensable fields that
helps in the chain of nourishment by feeding the world’s
growing population, with 93.6 million metric tons to meet
the world’s seafood needs by 2030. Internet of Things (IoT)
or Internet of Everything is a blooming paradigm that
changes the way of interaction with the environment, which
has global attention of the industries in its rapid growth.
Incorporating the IoT in the observation of seafood
cultivating procedures can improve the productivity and
supportability while upgrading the business with the next
generation technologies. In Aquaculture, a handful of units
are set-up in the deep seas, while the majority of the units
are set inland. In inland offices, the ocean organisms are
cultured in tanks that can change in volumes and materials.
In such cases where profitable aquaculture is done,
numerous endeavors are taken to augment the well-being of
the sea creatures. Here, we are proposing an exceptionally
beneficial aquaculture framework, designed for the aquafarming unit employments, for observing the quality of the
water, controlling the system’s irregularity and providing
real-time updates to the aqua-farmer. The Aqua-Farmer
can surveille the units and control the water circulation
remotely through a mobile application.

continues to spread worldwide. Every
potential sector is experiencing a decline in
growth. (World Health Organization) WHO
suggests that Wearing Face Mask can reduce
the impact of COVID-19. So, This Paper
Proposed a system that controls the growth of
COVID-19 by finding individuals who don't
wear masks in populated areas like malls,
markets where all public places are under
surveillance with closed-circuit television
cameras (CCTV). When a person without a
mask is found, the corresponding authority is
informed by the CCTV network. And it can
calculate the number of people that do not
wear the mask and emit an audible signal to
inform the authority. A deep learning module
is trained on a dataset composed of images of
people wearing different types of masks and
people without masks collected from various
sources. It also contains some confusing
images that help the model to achieve greater
precision than other models. This model will
use the dataset to build a COVID-19 face

A permanent magnet synchronous
generator (PMSG) is a device that converts mechanical
energy to electrical energy. Permanent magnet
generators generate electricity with the inside magnets that
can be used to power other electric devices. A PMSG is
a generator, where the excitation field is provided by a
permanent magnet instead of a winding coil. In this
generator/device the rotor windings have been replaced
with permanent magnets. Its rotor is consisting of the
permanent that generates a field for excitation and
replaces the external supply source for the generator. In
most of power generation plants, the synchronous
generator is used. Now days synchronous generator is used
in all types of turbines for e.g. steam turbine, gas turbine
and hydro turbine etc. The Permanent Magnet
Generator uses the magnetic field generated by
a permanent magnet to convert mechanical energy into
electrical power. It can be able to generate an AC current,
with which it can able to power the whole engine and
charge the battery. This study helps to understand the

CASE STUDY OF ENERGY CONSERVATION IN INDUSTRY BY APPLICATION OF LEAN TOOLS
Authors: Prasanna N.Sujith , Kumar Dr.J.Nagesh
Published: August 2021

Energy cost is significant in many of the
manufacturing activities. The efficiency of energy use is
quiet low as there are substantial visible and hidden losses.
Visible losses can be easily identified and corrective action
can be taken. However hidden and indirect losses form a
sizeable portion of the losses. Identifying these losses is not
easy and requires an integrated approach which includes
thorough study of process, operations and their
interactions with energy use. Industries across sectors have
implemented lean management principles which target
various wastes occurring in the plant. This paper discusses
case studies which highlight the exploitation of lean tools
as a means for unearthing hidden energy saving potential
that often go unnoticed. In addition to the energy savings
which results in improved profits and competitiveness, the
approach also aids the industry to pursue a path of
sustainable manufacturing.

Nowadays, as in the urban areas the space
available for the construction of buildings is limited. So in
limited space we have to construct such type of buildings
which can be used for multiple purposes such as lobbies,
car parking etc. To fulfill this demand, high rise buildings
is the only option available. The performance of a high rise
building during strong earthquake motion depends on the
distribution of stiffness, strength and mass along both the
vertical and horizontal directions. If there is discontinuity
in stiffness, strength and mass between adjoining storeys of
a building then such a building is known as irregular
building. The present study focuses on the seismic
performance of regular and vertical irregular building
with and without masonary infills. In the present study
G+11 building is considered for the analysis with
modelling and analysis done on ETABS software v17.0.1.
The earthquake forces are calculated as per IS 1893 (part
1): 2016 for seismic zone III. The width of strut is
calculated by using equivalent diagonal strut method.
Total five models are considered for the analysis i.e.
regular building with bare frame, regular building with
masonary infill, soft storey building with open ground
storey, mass irregular building with masonary infill and
vertical geometric irregular building with masonary infill.
The non-linear static analysis (pushover analysis) and
linear dynamic analysis (response spectrum analysis) are
performed for all the models and thereby compare their
results. From analysis, the parameters like performance
point, time period, maximum storey displacement,
maximum storey drifts, storey shears and overturning
moments are determined and also comparative study is
done for all the models. From the comparison, it is
observed that the vertical geometric irregular building
shows better performance under seismic loading and bare
frame building shows inferior performance. Moreover,

real-time detection. However, there are some protocols
that users must follow, i.e., see piles of garbage and
capture it real-time by the camera and after that
informing to the Cleanliness Authority. In this application,
the User Interface is eco-friendly which gives you the
motivation to do cleanliness movement. In which, we are
giving you the authority to send the waste detected picture
along with the real-time address to the authority. After
that, the notification is shown in the app that the complaint
has been successfully resolved. We are designed this app in
every language according to user preference they will use.
For detecting the piles of garbage, we used the machine
learning approach that helps to detect the piles of garbage.
The picture should be recognizable otherwise the machine
learning model doesn’t examine the wastes. We made a
huge database or dataset for detecting purpose in which
we distribute every single pile in a folder that makes more
comfortable to the model to detect garbage piles. “Dump

Addressing the emotional and mental health of
the bedridden elderly is necessary as they are more likely to
be depressed being isolated and dependent on a caregiver
for a prolonged time. Several studies have been carried out
to identify the mental stress of patients through their skin
conductivity. The variations in the sympathetic nervous
system reflect the emotional state of a person. This is
demonstrated by the Galvanic Skin Response and thus can
be used as a denotation of psychological or physiological
arousal. Such arousal causes the blood capillary dilation,
increment of sweat gland activities making the skin further
conductive to electricity. In this study we develop a sensor
module composed of a Galvanic Skin Response sensor for
the bed ridden elderly and identify the relationship between
body temperature, heart rate and GSR of them. The
experiment is conducted upon 10 bed ridden elderly aged
from 60 – 80 years of the Mihinthale region. The
observations demonstrate a correlation between the heart
rate, body temperature, skin conductivity and the human
physiological states.

student attendance system based on face
recognition. This system is very useful in daily life
applications especially in security and surveillance
systems. The security systems on airport uses face
recognition to identify suspects and the CBI
(CentralBureau of Investigation) and FBI (Federal
Bureau of Investigation) uses face recognition for
criminal investigations. In our project also video
framing is performed by accessing the camera
through user friendly interface. The Face is
detected and segmented from the video frame by
using HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradient)
algorithm.
In the first step or we can say in pre-processing
stage, scaling of the size of the image is performed
in order to prevent or reduce the loss of
information.
Then in next step, the ‘median filtering’ is applied
to remove noise followed by the conversion of
colour imageinto grayscale image.
After that, CLAHE (Contrast Limited Adaptive
Histogram Equation) is applied on the images to
enhance the contrastof the image.
Overall, we have created a program in python that
take theimage from the database and make all the
necessary conversions for recognition and then
verifies the image inthe videos or in the real time
by accessing the camera through user friendly
interface. After the successful matchis found then
it marks the name and time of the person in

Instead of relying on limited RT-PCR kits, just a simple
chest x-ray can help us determine health of the patient. Not
only we get immediate results, but we can also practice
social distancing norms more effectively.

AN ITERATIVE FORMULA FOR SIMULTANEOUS LOCATION OF THE ZEROS OF A POLYNOMIAL
Authors: Wahab Nourein Dr.Abdel
Published: August 2021

Needless to say that the search for efficient
algorithms for determining zeros of polynomials has been
continually raised in many applications. In this paper we
give a cubic iteration method for determining
simultaneously all the zeros of a polynomial – assumed
distinct – starting with ‘reasonably close’ initial
approximations – also assumed distinct. The polynomial –
in question – is expressed in its Taylor series expansion in
terms of the initial approximations and their correction
terms. A formula with cubic rate of convergence – based
on retaining terms up to 2ndorder of the expansion in the
correction terms – is derived.

Extrusion processes are widely used in
plastic industries that aim to produce advanced
solutions for increasingly sophisticated demands for
plastics. Processes are not designed based on
professional engineering design process, but on trial
and error techniques. These two factors affect the
extrusion processing parameters. In this study focus
will be concentrated on the parameters incorporated
in Polypropylene rope extrusion process such as:
screw length, screw diameter, metering zone length
and flight depth. A model equations were derived

The main objective of this paper is to find
out the boiler efficiency calculation and method to
improvement. The thermal industry is known as a
major source of conventional energy in India. In the
thermal power plant where chemical energy of the
coal is converted into electricity. It is most
demanding industry now days because of high
energy demand. Boiler is the most important part
for plant. Running the plant with maximum result
we need high boiler efficiency. Calculating boiler
efficiency as one of the most important types of
performance measurement in any power plant. For
calculation of Boiler efficiency basically we use
Direct and Indirect method. It is a measure of how
effectively chemical energy in fuel is converted into
heat energy in steam going to the turbine. Finding
boiler efficiency from this method from this method
use for boiler efficiency, the data is collected from
different department in plant like, Boiler Efficiency
Department. Many researchers are find out the
boiler efficiency of different plant and carried out
their research for improvement of boiler efficiency.
This review paper helpful to calculate the boiler
efficiency and find out the different types of losses
occurs in boiler. We also find that boiler efficiency is
always somehow increase by implementing this
method and useful for further research.

If we look around present world, we can
easily find Global Positioning System (GPS) being
used in several areas. A real time automobile theft
recovery system using various (GPS, GSM,
Arduino etc.) technologies has been proposed in
this paper. Through this project the location of the
vehicle, which has the device installed, is easy to
track down. Soon after the location of the vehicle
has been tracked, the data can be seen in the form
of latitude and longitude coordinates through a text
message on the user’s mobile as well as the
coordinates can be seen on the Android app too, as
requested by the user. Initially, the inputs from the
satellite are obtained by GPS installed in the device
and are stored in the microcontroller’s buffer. The
coordinates are now stored in the microcontroller,
so when the user requests the location of the vehicle
then instantly the device is so designed to send a
message having the coordinates to the registered
user. As soon as the work of GSM is completed
(which is after sending a text to the user) it gets
deactivated. Then the GPS is activated again for
the rest of the process. The android app can also be
used to turn the engine ON/OFF and also change
the mode from AUTO to MANUAL or vice versa.
The hardware part that has been used in the
project comprises of GPRS, GSM module, LCD to
view the coordinates, ATMega Microcontroller
MAX 232, Arduino, RS232 and relay.
The microstructure of the rapidly solidified foil of the hypoeutectic alloy Sn – 4.4 wt. % Zn
Authors: Shepelevich Vasili G. , Zernitsa Denis A.
Published: August 2021

The article presents the results of a study of the microstructure of the rapidly solidified foil of the hypoeutectic alloy Sn – 4.4 wt. % Zn. It was found that the investigated alloy has a two-phase structure, which consists of solid solutions of tin and zinc. Doping of tin with zinc leads to a decrease in the unit cell parameter. The difference between the unit cell parameters of a rapidly solidified alloy in comparison with an alloy of pure tin tends to decrease during holding, which is due to strong supercooling of the melt during its production at ultrahigh speeds, and the formation of a supersaturated solid solution of zinc in tin, which, due to high homological temperatures, as a consequence, active diffusion processes, decomposes at room temperature. It has been established that a microcrystalline structure is formed in the foil of the alloy under study, in the cross section of which there are uniformly distributed equiaxed dispersed dark zinc precipitates against the background of a light tin matrix; the absence of zinc plates in the foil reduces the ability to brittle fracture. The unequal distribution of the average chord of random secants on the grains in the surface layers A is caused by the release of heat, which leads to a decrease in the supercooling of the subsequent layers of the melt, and an increase in the grain size as the crystallisation front moves. It was found that in the (301) plane along the [103] direction, tin twinning is observed, which occurs under the action of quenching stresses at high crystallisation rates. The alloy under study has a (100) tin texture, the formation of which is associated with the fact that the (100) plane is the most densely packed, which promotes the growth of grains with this orientation at the highest rate.
