Published: August 2022

Lead-free ferroelectric and piezoelectric ceramics, (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3[BNT] ceramics were prepared by controlling the quenching rate. The quenching effects mainly caused an increase in lattice distortion 90-αandTd, contribution of electrical properties and ordered structural phase transitions. In this study, we analyzed oxygen tracer diffusion and examined domain structures for quenched BNT ceramics, and then we proposed a mechanism for the quenching effect. As a result, the diffusion coefficientsDof18O tracer for the OF and quenched samples were 2.5 × 10–11and 1.8 × 10–11cm2s−1, respectively, and there were no significant differences in oxygen vacancies after quenching. The correlation between the quenching effect and oxygen vacancies was also examined in BNT with hard and soft dopants. However, the contribution of oxygen vacancies was small thus, the correlation between the quench effect and oxygen vacancies was low. On the other hand, the domain structure of BNT ceramics was observed and the domain size of OF-BNT was around 20 nm. This is a typical domain size for BNT ceramics. In contrast, the domain size of the quenched BNT was 40 nm. Thus, quenching increased the domain size and decreased their density. Consequently, we propose that the domain structure is strongly correlated with the quench-induced increase in lattice distortion andTd, its contribution to electrical properties, and ordered structural phase transitions.

Methodology for Selection of Condition Monitoring Techniques for Rotating Machinery
Authors: Goel Anuj Kumar , Singh Gurmeet , Naikan Vallayil Narayana Achutha
Published: August 2022

Rotating machinery generally consist of a driver machine such as a motor and a driven machine or load such as a compressor or pump. Several condition monitoring (CM) techniques have been developed over the years for the predictive maintenance of rotating machinery. An appropriate selection of these techniques needs to be established for maximizing the ROI (Return on investment) of such systems. This paper proposes a methodology for the proper selection of CM techniques based on factors such as fault detectability, fault severity, cost, ease of data collection, noise, and system criticality. Effective techniques are recommended based on applicability in the industrial scenario and research done till now. A careful scoring system was adopted and weightage was given to each factor by expert opinion depending on its importance in the industrial environment. Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) was used to obtain comparable technique combination scores. The effectiveness of a single technique was found limited in rotating machinery, effective combinations were made and scored according to important factors. Final scores were obtained and top combinations were chosen for non-critical, sub-critical, and critical systems. A possible way of implementation is also shown for remote monitoring through literature.

Background: A loop ileostomy is the stoma most constantly used to defunction an empty colon in order to safeguard a vulnerable distal
anastomosis. Some cases have a trouble-free stoma, while others have recurring problems that may need another surgery. A temporary stoma,
which has secured an anastomosis, may be closed as soon as the anastomosis is soundly healed. Early takedown, at around 2 weeks, is exercised by
some surgeons but is technically more tough at this stage. A holdup of 6 – 8 weeks allows the stoma to mature and the planes around the stoma to

ntroduction: Evaluation for CHD lead to inadvertent radiation exposure to children. With objective of minimising radiation exposure, we
developed a size based (SB) novel low kVp low dose CT protocol for pediatrics population. All CT chest examinationsMaterial and methods:
performed on PHILIPS Ingenuity core 64-slice multi detector CT machine. A total of sixty children with suspected/diagnosed CHD were
randomized to either novel SB protocol or machine's default AEC based low dose pediatric chest CT protocol . Our protocol consisted of keeping
tube voltage 80 kVp in all patients and tube current (mA) being modulated according to size of subjects (chest circumference). All CT dose
parameters (ED, CTDI vol, DLP and mA) were recorded for comparison. Image quality of the two methods compared by two radiologists blinded
to the method. After analysing and comparing with other studies for all the CT dose variables we concluded that all CT radiation exposureResults:
values as measured by ED, CTDI vol, SSDE, DLP were lower in SB protocol as comparison to default AEC based protocol in those corresponding
to <12 months age group. In 1-5 year- ED, SSDE, CTDI vol and DLP was equivalent in both size based and AEC based low dose protocols. In 6-18
year ED, SSDE, CTDI vol and DLP was slightly higher in size based low dose protocol. In younger age group ( <12 months of age) SBConclusion:
protocol should be preferred as compared to default machine protocol. In children with >1 years of age , low dose AEC protocol is better from
perspective of radiation exposure.

Published: August 2022

Nurses while working under constant stress, often fail to feel compassion as they provide care and are unable to derive satisfaction from their
positive work experience. The aim of the study was to identify level of compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue among registered nurses
working in intensive care units and wards of hospitals in South Gujarat. Descriptive survey design was used. The studySubjects and methods:
was conducted in hospitals from Bardoli and Navsari, Data was collected from 201 nurses available at the time of study using convenience
sampling technique. Tool used: Professional quality of life scale (PROQOL) version 5 and demographic proforma. Mean score ofResults:
compassion fatigue was greater than compassion satisfaction. Burn out and secondary traumatic stress had a moderately positive correlation where
compassion satisfaction and burnout, compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue were negatively correlated. Level of satisfaction was
signicantly associated with education, religion and income of the subjects whereas level of compassion fatigue was associated with education,
income and years of experience. Recommendation: Hospital administrators need to make nurses aware about compassion fatigue, assess it
periodically, and should take adequate measures to reduce it. Nurses need training regarding personal measures to reduce compassion fatigue and
increase compassion satisfaction.
CASE OF NATURAL REVERSE SYMPHYSIOTOMY
Authors: F. Lewis Preeti , Assudani Lata , Notwani Ashish
Published: August 2022

Separation of pubic symphysis during delivery is a rare complication resulting in considerable and prolonged morbidity for parturient women. The
usual presentation is that of something giving way in the region of the symphysis pubis, unbearable lower abdominal pain or difculty on moving
from side to side or performing any weight bearing activities. There may be disruption of sacro-iliac joint, haemorrhage or urine incontinence in
severe cases. Treatment modalities range from conservative management (including analgesics, pelvic binders) to orthopaedic management such
as external xation or open reduction and internal xation. Since postpartum pain is frequently dismissed as attritubale to labor and childbirth, the
diagnosis of pubic symphysis diastasis is often delayed or missed altogether. The incidence of complete separation of the pubic symphysis is
reported to be within 1 in 300 to 1:30,000, with many instances likely undiagnosed due to mild symptoms and limited debility in most cases.(1)
THE NECESSITY OF EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE IN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM - AN OVERVIEW OF THE PRESENT CRITICAL CONDITIONS
Authors: Sengupta Aditi Munmun
Published: August 2022

The practice of evidence based clinical practice involves assimilation of
individual clinical practice and being able to analyze the best available
evidence in decision- making concerning patient and family centered
care. It is difcult for the health care practitioners to keep pace with the
volume of upcoming medical literature. In consequence, most of the
questions remain unanswered. To be at par with the information
overload, clinicians mainly depend on expert-compiled clinical practice
guidelines. The gold standard is to possess guidelines according to the
needs of individual countries or regions depending on the demographic
distribution of the country. But in cases where this method is not feasible
it is the adoption of the International processes to meet the needs. This
paper highlights this issue and encourages the fact that the clinical query
expansion algorithm can close the existing gaps and aid in the
development of effective evidence based clinical practice.

Authors: Bashyam Nalini , Venkata Anusha Nayanala , Singupuram Sahitya
Published: August 2022

Lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor resulting from a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system, usually diagnosed in infancy and early
childhood. Intraoral lymphangiomas occur more frequently on the dorsum of tongue, followed by the palate, buccal mucosa, gingiva, and lips.
Lymphangioma of the tongue is a common cause of macroglossia in children associated with difculty in swallowing and mastication, speech
disturbances, airway obstruction, mandibular prognathism, open bite, and other possible deformities of maxillofacial structures. The most
effective treatment depends on their size and location.

Re-Label By Data Pattern Is All You Need For Knowledge Driven Deep Learning
Authors: Guo Tong
Published: August 2022

In industry deep learning application, we should fix the badcase after we achieve more than 95% accuracy at dev dataset. The badcase reason is from the wrong rule/knowledge of human labeling and will cause low accuracy under human evaluation. In this paper, we propose the pattern-based method to fix the badcase for industry application inference. We propose the pipeline to solve the problem and improve the accuracy of human evaluation. The experiment results verify our idea.
Photonic multiplexing methods for optical neuromorphic computing
Authors: Moss David
Published: August 2022

 The simultaneous advances in artificial neural networks and photonic integration technologies have spurred extensive research in optical computing and optical neural networks (ONNs). The potential to simultaneously exploit multiple physical dimensions of time, wavelength and space give ONNs the ability to achieve computing operations with high parallelism and large-data throughput. Different photonic multiplexing techniques based on these multiple degrees of freedom have enabled ONNs with large-scale interconnectivity and linear computing functions. Here, we review the recent advances of ONNs based on different approaches to photonic multiplexing, and present our outlook on key technologies needed to further advance these photonic multiplexing/hybrid-multiplexing techniques of ONNs. 
Enhancing Continuous Integration Systems with Assisted Root Cause Analysis
Authors: Bonic Sanja , Bonic Janos , Schmid Stefan
Published: August 2022

Contribution

We provide initial algorithms and a framework leading to assisted root cause analysis through a modular architecture including collection, identification, analysis, and presentation steps. Our proposed framework creates pre-structured data from vast heterogeneous datasets automatically, enriches the data with additional information from the CI system, and adds fine-grained default and user-defined labels that support the root cause analysis of failures.

Background

Projects spanning hundreds of thousands of lines of code and several thousand daily continuous integration workflows cannot rely on manual prelabeling and qualitative interviews to generate meaningful improvements to broken CI job runs.

Evaluation

We evaluated our approach by measuring manual root cause analysis times over several CI jobs. The data we used is publicly available via the Kubernetes and OpenShift projects, allowing every researcher to continue and reproduce our work.
