A Case Study of Cashew Industry in Karnataka
Authors: D’Silva Reema Jenifer , S. Ganesh Bhat
Published: December 2021

Purpose: In the Indian food processing sector, the cashew nut processing industry plays a critical role. Often, the cashew is considered as ‘both a poor person’s crop and a rich person’s meal.’ From the cultivators, traders, wholesalers, processors to supermarkets and retailers, the cashew processing sector is a vital source of income. Cashew processing is a labour-intensive sector that has always employed a significant number of rural women. The purpose of this study is to gain an in-depth understanding of the Cashew Processing Sector, its position in the world market, issues it is confronting and future prospects. While doing so, the present study attempts to examine the profile of the Indian Cashew Industry, including cashew processing and international trade. The quality, flavour and appearance of the Indian cashew kernels are highly respected in other nations and are consumed in more than 60 countries worldwide. Unfortunately, it was found that cashew production in India has been fluctuating in recent years. Despite its tremendous expansion, India’s cashew sector has been affected by low-quality cashew cultivated in some regions, which is mostly due to improper harvesting techniques, inadequate drying of the nuts and insufficient storage and warehouse facilities for dried cashew nuts.
Design: For the purpose of analysis, this study used secondary data sources - Google Scholar articles, cashew industry and other related websites. Moreover, the literature is used to analyse the position of the industry within SWOC and PESTLE framework analysis.
Findings: Based on the analysis, the cashew business needs certain incentives to attain a better rate of production and export growth in the future.
Value: This paper emphases on the growth of the cashew industry in India in relation to its current status and future opportunities. Based on findings and their interpretation, the Indian Cashew Industry must prepare itself for the ever-increasing demand of the domestic market and contribute more effectively to the country’s economic growth.

Authors: Lima Bruna Oliveira , Lima Adryelle Silva , Lima Aierdna de Oliveira , Almeida Ana Raquel Ferreira de , Duarte Rafael Bezerra
Published: December 2021

Introdução: A Síndrome de Down é caracterizada pela presença anormal de três cromossomos 21, ou “trissomia 21”. É uma das síndromes mais aparentes no Brasil na pediatria. As pessoas portadoras da síndrome apresentam além da face característica, aspectos singulares, como: atraso no desenvolvimento psicomotor e neurológico, problemas cardiovasculares e respiratórios, fazendo-se necessário o acompanhamento e apoio da família, assim como de uma equipe multidisciplinar para melhor desenvolvimento de suas habilidades. Objetivo: Analisar os cuidados da equipe de saúde ao paciente portador da Síndrome de Down. Material e métodos: Trata-se de um estudo do tipo revisão bibliográfica realizada entre 10 a 15 de novembro de 2021 por meio da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS) através de duas pesquisas. Na primeira pesquisa foram usados os descritores e operador booleano: “Cuidados de Enfermagem” AND “Síndrome de Down”, aplicando como critérios de inclusão: na língua portuguesa e publicados no período entre 2016 e 2021, excluindo artigos duplicados e de revisão, encontrando após filtragem 03 artigos. Na segunda pesquisa foi usado o descritor “Síndrome de Down”, aplicando os critérios de inclusão: artigos científicos no período de 2016 a 2021, excluindo artigos duplicados e de revisão, sendo encontrados 173 artigos. Ao final, foram usados 04 artigos para compor o estudo. Resultados: Ressalta-se que a atenção à criança com Síndrome de Down é caracterizada pelo dinamismo de profissionais e a intervenção entre pais e cuidadores, tornando o cuidado multiprofissional e holístico. Este cuidado deve estar pautado na manutenção da saúde física e mental, bem como no desenvolvimento da autonomia e inclusão social, podendo ser proposto dinâmicas em grupo, brincadeiras educativas, atividade física e oficinas. Desta forma, também é de grande valia a atenção voltada aos genitores e responsáveis para escutar e compreender seus aspectos no dia a dia com a criança, para melhor impor a forma do cuidado. Conclusão: Ainda há uma escassa capacitação dos profissionais para com os pacientes, que torna o cuidado ainda um pouco costumeiro, faltando a essência da singularidade para cada paciente. Por isso, faz-se necessária a educação continuada dos profissionais da área para melhor adaptar sua consulta e seus métodos.
A METAPLASIA ÓSSEA ENDOMETRIAL: UMA REVISÃO BIBLIOGRÁFICA
Authors: Santos Maysa Lohanna Barbosa , Morais Rayana Carla Silva de
Published: December 2021

Introdução: A metaplasia óssea endometrial (MOE) é uma condição clínica rara, caracterizada pela presença de tecido ósseo no endométrio. Esta destaca-se como uma patologia de baixa incidência, onde há poucos casos descritos na literatura, mas que são de grande importância serem bem analisados, aumentando a eficácia do prognóstico e manejo da MOE, quando relatada. O seu diagnóstico se dá por meio do processo de histeroscopia e biópsia do material presente no endométrio, possibilitando a análise histopatológica, seguida de sugestão de tratamento pelo médico assistente. Objetivo: O presente estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão de literatura acerca dos artigos científicos disponibilizados sobre a histopatologia da MOE, sua incidência e procedimentos nos casos relatados. Material e métodos: Foram realizadas buscas e análises de artigos disponibilizados na base de dados Scielo durante o mês de outubro e novembro de 2021, utilizando o seguinte descritor: “Metaplasia óssea endometrial”, priorizando as publicações do tipo artigo, no idioma português e que tivessem sido publicados entre os anos de 2010 e 2021. Os dados extraídos foram utilizados de forma descritiva para observar, contar e descrever sobre a MOE. Resultados: Diante da revisão dos artigos pré-selecionados para o estudo, nota-se que a disponibilidade de material sobre tal temática é escassa, o que condiz com a rara ocorrência do quadro clínico nos pacientes. Nos casos relatados na literatura sobre MOE, pacientes que apresentam este quadro clínico quando submetidas à exames de imagem para o diagnóstico presuntivo apresentam focos de calcificação em sítio endometrial, que, quando realizados estudos histopatológicos através de biópsia do material para a confirmação, são reveladas placas de tecido ósseo permeando o tecido do endométrio. Este quadro é mais frequente em pacientes com infecções recorrentes, alterações menstruais, dor pélvica crônica e antecedentes de abortamento e infertilidade, onde a realização do tratamento da mesma deve ser seguida por sugestão médica. Conclusão: Com o avanço dos estudos na patologia de MOE, o prognóstico e manejo desta podem tornar-se cada vez mais eficientes para com os casos relatados, contribuindo para o avanço no conhecimento da área e também na qualidade de vida dos pacientes afetados.

Authors: Martins Alessandro de Liz
Published: December 2021

Introdução: Durante a neurulação, processo de formação do tubo neural que se inicia na terceira semana do desenvolvimento embrionário e finaliza na quarta semana, pode ocorrer o fechamento incompleto do tubo neural, causadas por diversos fatores, resultando em uma patologia congênita chamada de espinha bífida. Objetivos: Analisar os parâmetros e fatores associados à malformação do tubo neural; descrever as características da espinha bífida e como se dá o diagnóstico; apresentar intervenções que possam evitar ou corrigir a patologia. Material e métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica descritiva feita através de bibliotecas virtuais, onde foram selecionados quatro artigos e dois livros acadêmicos. Resultados: Sendo a patologia congênita de caráter crônico, que ocorre nas primeiras semanas do desenvolvimento embrionário, decorrente do fechamento incompleto do tubo neural que envolve tecidos sobrejacentes a medula óssea, arco vertebral, músculos dorsais e pele, tanto que a espinha bífida pode ocorrer em qualquer eixo da medula, sendo mais comum na região lombossacral. Em mais de 50% dos casos, as malformações podem ser detectadas durante o pré-natal. As causas da patologia ainda são desconhecidas, porém podem ser induzidas por fatores genéticos, ambientais e teratogênicos como por exemplo o tabagismo, álcool, hormônios, fármacos e drogas ilícitas; porém o fator mais importante para a causa é a carência de ácido fólico durante a gestação, sendo que muitos casos poderiam ser evitados apenas pela ingestão diária de ácido fólico. O parto cesáreo é o mais indicado para evitar complicações ao neonato. Intervenções cirúrgicas como por exemplo a cirurgia fetal e/ou neonatal também podem ser pensados para reduzir os danos significativamente. Conclusão: A espinha bífida é uma doença crônica e congênita que acomete o tubo neural do embrião, podendo ser sua principal causa a carência de ácido fólico durante a gestação, porém, outros fatores como o tabagismo, fármacos e outros fatores teratogênicos podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento da doença; para correção o feto pode passar por cirurgias antes e/ou após o nascimento, esse que deve ser de parto cesário.

G-Protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR) plays a major role in cardiac hypertrophy. Isoproterenol is an agonist which binds to GPCR. This results in the activation of GS subunit. Activated Gs subunit stimulates cAMP mediated pathway. This activates the calcium signaling and elevates the calcium level. Increased calcium activates the phosphatase activity of calcineurin. Activated calcineurin dephosphorylates NFAT in cytoplasm. Dephosphorylated NFAT translocates to nucleus and binds to target region in DNA and activates re-expression of fetal genes in synergy with GATA-4 trascription factor. Reprogramming of fetal genes by NFAT- 3 and GATA-4 results in cardiac hypertrophy. Calcineurin inhibitors and rephosphorylation of NFAT can prevent cardiac hypertrophy.

This study aims is to establish a small system of text-independent recognition of speakers for a
relatively small group of speakers at a sound stage. The fascinating justification for the International Space Station
(ISS) to detect if the astronauts are speaking at a specific time has influenced the difficulty. In this work, we employed
Machine Learning Applications. Accordingly, we used the Direct Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based approach, in
which the posterior opportunities of the output layer are utilized to determine the speaker’s presence. In line with
the small footprint design objective, a simple DNN model with only sufficient hidden units or sufficient hidden
units per layer was designed, thereby reducing the cost of parameters through intentional preparation to avoid the
normal overfitting problem and optimize the algorithmic aspects, such as context-based training, activation functions,
validation, and learning rate. Two commercially available databases, namely, TIMIT clean speech and HTIMIT multihandset communication database and TIMIT noise-added data framework, were tested for this reference model that
we developed using four sound categories at three distinct signal-to-noise ratios. Briefly, we used a dynamic pruning
method in which the conditions of all layers are simultaneously pruned, and the pruning mechanism is reassigned.
The usefulness of this approach was evaluated on all the above contact databases

Technology education varies across countries depending on the goals they set to achieve. Therefore, comparative research on different technology education approaches can provide a holistic perspective and contribute to the literature. This paper compared the technology-focused courses offered by primary schools in Turkey and Scotland. A qualitative research design was adopted. Data were collected using document review and analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results pointed to differences in technology policies, manifesting themselves in the curricula of the courses offered by the schools. However, the courses also had something in common in terms of structure, goal, content, and approach to learning and teaching. We discussed the differences and similarities based on literature. In order to reveal different dimensions of technology education, comparative education studies that address different countries can be suggested.

The purpose of the present study was to adapt COVID-19 Induced Anxiety Scale (CIAS) and Protective Behaviors towards COVID-19 Scale (PBCS) into Turkish language, and to investigate their psychometric properties. 593 adults participated in the study. Data were collected through CIAS and PBCS as well as The Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCS). Cronbach alpha (α) and McDonald’s Omega (ω) coefficients were utilized for reliability of the Turkish forms of the scales, and validity of the scales was tested with exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and criterion validity. The analysis showed that α and ω reliability coefficients of both scales were over .70. The results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that CIAS had a single factor structure while PBCS had three dimensions as indicated in original forms of the scales. Significant and positive relationships were also found between the scores obtained from CIAS and PBCS and fear scores. To conclude, Turkish forms of CIAS and PBCS were proved to be valid and reliable tools to measure severity of COVID-19 induced anxiety through CIAS and individuals’ protective behaviors towards COVID-19 through PBCS.

Background: Syzygium guineenses, (the most common and abundant specie in Nigeria) is a medicinal plant used by traditional practitioners in northern Nigeria for a variety of healing purposes. Objective: The main objective of this project was to carry out a comparison of antioxidant activities and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometric (FTIR) analysis on both methanol and hexane leaf extracts of S. guineenses. Methods: Phytochemical screening, Semi-quantitative DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl)- dot blot assay and FTIR analysis were performed on both extracts to determine antioxidant activity and identify the functional groups present. Results: Phytochemicals tested for, were observed to be more prominent in the methanol extract than hexane. The in vitro antioxidant assay also revealed a more intense yellow colour of inhibition in methanol extract than the hexane extract. The FTIR spectra revealed different characteristic peak values with various functional compounds in both extracts. The methanol extract displayed major peaks of absorption at 3341 cm-1 (-OH) for alcohol, 1736 cm-1 (C=O) carbonyl group, 1161.83 cm-1, 1036.49 cm-1 (C-O) of esters. Other absorption bands like 1452.25 cm-1 and 1612.20 cm-1 for alkenes were present in both extracts. Conclusion: This result shows that the methanol extract of S. guineenseshas a higher potential of phytochemicals, antioxidants and functional groups than the hexane extract.

Background: Diarrhoea remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among children under 5 years old in spite of availability of effective treatment. Families and communities have been identified as key stakeholders to the improvement of child survival in diarrhoea. Objective: This study was set to determine caregivers’ knowledge and response to diarrhoea within the first 24 hours, evaluate their care-seeking pattern and identify determinants of response. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional survey of 1,236 caregivers of children under five years was carried out in a sub-urban community in Lagos. Pretested, structured questionnaire was administered to caregivers whose children had experienced diarrhoea within one month of survey. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 23.0. Results: The mean age of caregivers was 30.2 years ±5.305 with 1,201 (97.2%) being biological mothers of the children. Majority, 848 (68.6%) correctly recognized diarrhoea as passage of three or more watery stools within a 24-hour period. Knowledge of correct cause of diarrhoea was poor (332; 26.8%) and 797 (64.5%) perceived diarrhoea as a serious condition. While 48.9% opted for home treatment, 35.3% offered no care to the child. Only 119 (9.9%) respondents sort care in government health facilities. Conclusion: Majority of caregivers kept the child at home either treating them or not rendering care. Care seeking at government health facilities was low. Age category of child, educational status of caregiver, number of children being cared for by caregiver and overall knowledge of diarrhoea were significantly associated with response within the first 24 hours.

Published: December 2021

Sustentabilidade tem recebido atenção crescente da comunidade cientifica, sendo o maior foco o da redução do consumo energético e também na manutenção de recursos não renováveis para as futuras gerações. Em paralelo, a expansão de paradigmas como o da computação nas nuvens, redes sociais e comércio eletrônico acabou por aumentar a demanda dos data centers. Nesse contexto, ferramentas que dão suporte a modelagem de arquiteturas de data center e que sejam capazes de computar métricas como a de disponibilidade, custo e consumo energético são de extrema importância. Este projeto propõe uma ferramenta para modelagem de arquiteturas de data centers que é capaz de computar métricas como consumo energético, disponibilidade e custo. Além disso, usuários não especializados não necessitam conhecer o formalismo adotado pela ferramenta para computar tais métricas (ex., RBD, SPN e EFM). Além disso, um algoritmo de otimização, chamado Algoritmo Genético, foi integrado a ferramenta para otimizar os resultados alcançados através de uma lista de componentes. Este algoritmo é capaz de encontrar uma combinação de componentes para uma dada arquitetura de data center em uma fração reduzida de tempo em comparação ao algoritmo de força bruta. Resultados alcançados demonstraram que foi possível se obter respostas em menos de 3 segundos com o algoritmo genético em comparação com os 255 segundosdemandados pelo algoritmo de força bruta.
