Published: November 2024

Growing cities contributed to the increase in the COVID-19 virus. Consequently, many researchers are exploring the dynamics of the pandemic and to analyse the impacts of pandemic on such cities. The main aim of this research is to understand impacts of the pandemic in Vellore city, Tamil Nadu, India by building a viable solution which can be beneficial for the medical fraternity. A blockchain based approach integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) is proposed for secure access and storage of Electronic Health Records (EHR) of COVID-19 patients in Vellore city. The blockchain follows the principle of absolute privacy and anonymity of medical records. The decentralized architecture is built to secure from different attacks as the hash of the records are stored in the blockchain. The proposed approach consists of a U-net and V-net model, one for segmenting lungs from the x-rays and second one for segmenting COVID-19 infection patches. The UV-net model is a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for fast and precise image segmentation. Experimental analysis is provided on nearly 33,920 chest X-ray images and text records gathered from a hospital in the Vellore city. The proposed model resulted in a precision, recall and F-score of 0.91, 0.87 and 0.89 respectively. The predicted results are manually analysed by the doctor in their login to finally cross verify and conclude the results which are stored in blockchain. This will aid doctors to centrally diagnose the patients and assist in proper treatment for faster recovery.

Published: November 2024

This study aimed to optimize the cultivation of Lignosus rhinocerus mycelium at a laboratory level and evaluate the antioxidant activity of β-glucan extracted from the mycelium. Using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Central Composite Design (CCD), optimal conditions for mycelium growth were identified at a temperature of 31.5 °C, 15 % potato powder, and 3.5 % glucose concentration, yielding a maximum mycelial biomass of 44.7 g/L and β-glucan production of 15.08 g/L. The β-glucan was extracted using a household microwave, significantly improving the extraction efficiency. The extracted β-glucan demonstrated notable antioxidant activity, with DPPH radical scavenging activity at approximately 53.31 % and ABTS radical scavenging activity around 47.31 %, albeit slightly lower than the 71.94 % activity of ascorbic acid. Comparative analyses highlighted the consistency in antioxidant capacities across different morphological stages, with aqueous methanol extracts of mycelium (LR-MH, LR-MT) and culture broth (LR-BH, LR-BT) showing either higher or comparable antioxidant activities to sclerotium extracts (LR-SC). Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the structural integrity of the extracted β-glucan. The findings support the feasibility of using mycelium for β-glucan extraction, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional methods.
HIGHLIGHTS

Review on Haze Removal Techniques using Image Processing and Deep Learning
Authors: Sushama Dnyandeo Hole  , Dr. Brijendra Gupta
Published: November 2024

Haze removal, or dehazing, is a crucial process in image processing aimed at restoring clarity to images obscured by atmospheric conditions. This review explores recent advancements in haze removal techniques, emphasizing image processing and deep learning methodologies. Traditional dehazing methods, such as dark channel prior and color attenuation prior, effectively enhance image quality but often fall short in scenarios with complex lighting or dense haze. With the rise of deep learning, techniques using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), and attention mechanisms have emerged, offering robust dehazing solutions across diverse atmospheric conditions. For instance, models like DehazeNet and AOD-Net streamline the haze removal process, while multi-scale and pyramid-based networks capture haze effects across varying depths. Attention-guided GANs and feature fusion networks further improve haze detection and detail retention. Despite these advancements, challenges persist, particularly in handling non-uniform haze, optimizing real-time performance, and achieving consistency across variable haze intensities. The integration of domain adaptation and transfer learning presents potential solutions, enhancing generalizability in cross-domain applications. This review identifies significant research gaps, including the need for lightweight architectures, adaptive techniques for different lighting environments, and efficient methods suitable for real-time application. By examining 25 recent studies, this review highlights the latest methodologies, their strengths and limitations, and outlines future directions to advance haze removal technologies. The insights gathered aim to guide further development in image restoration for applications in environmental monitoring, autonomous vehicles, and remote sensing..

Empowering MSMEs Kedungrejo Village Governments Role
Authors: Agustina Isna Fitria , Yunita Yunita
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the role of village government in fostering Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Kedungrejo Village, Indonesia, using a descriptive qualitative approach. Through purposive sampling, informants including village officials and MSME operators were interviewed, observed, and studied through documentation. Results reveal that the village government primarily acts as a facilitator by providing administrative support and venues for training facilitated by third parties, while regulatory efforts largely adhere to existing policies. However, communication gaps between the government and MSME community hinder effective catalytic roles. Supporting factors include third-party interventions enhancing MSME skills through social media, whereas inhibiting factors encompass low business management proficiency among MSME operators and inadequate reciprocity towards government-provided facilities. These findings underscore the complexities and nuances in local government support for MSMEs, suggesting avenues for policy refinement and community engagement to bolster MSME development in rural settings.

Authors: Luz Daniela de Araújo , Vieira Maria Luiza de Andrade , Silva Macerlane de Lira , Souza Anne Caroline de , Oliveira Geane Silva
Published: November 2024

Introdução: A pré-eclâmpsia é definida como uma síndrome hipertensiva, desenvolvida a partir da 20° semana de gestação e caracterizada pela PA ≥ a 140x90 mmHg, presença de proteinúria em urina de 24 horas com ou sem edema. É de extrema importância que a gestante faça o acompanhamento com a equipe multiprofissional, afim de tratar e minimizar os riscos tanto para a saúde da gestante como do bebê, pois a pré-eclâmpsia, além de induzir o parto prematuro, pode trazer inúmeras consequências, até mesmo levar a uma eclâmpsia e síndrome de HELLP que são as formas mais graves com um risco elevado de morte materna. Objetivo: conhecer na literatura a assistência de enfermagem no controle da pré – eclâmpsia e eclampsia. Metodologia: O presente estudo trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura baseada na seguinte questão norteadora: qual a assistência de enfermagem no controle da pré-eclâmpsia e eclâmpsia? A coleta dos dados aconteceu entre os meses de julho a agosto de 2024, através da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), utilizando as seguintes bases de dados: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs) e PubMed. Fez uso dos descritores em ciências da saúde (Decs): pré-eclâmpsia, eclâmpsia, doenças hipertensivas e papel da enfermagem nas síndromes hipertensivas. Para os critérios de inclusão foram adotados: artigos publicados nos últimos 5 anos (2019 a 2024), artigos completos disponíveis em português e inglês de forma gratuita, que abordaram a temática. Foram excluídos os artigos que estiveram duplicados, artigos em espanhol, monografias, artigos incompletos, dissertações, revistas, teses, relatos de experiência e aqueles que fugiram da temática. Os dados foram tratados de forma qualitativa e confrontados com a literatura. Resultados e discussão: a assistência de enfermagem é fundamental, exigi conhecimento científico e técnico para avaliar e controlar a condição, além das taxas de morbimortalidade. Os enfermeiros devem monitorar regularmente os sinais específicos da pré-eclâmpsia e eclâmpsia na gestante e a frequência cardíaca fetal, garantindo a estabilidade de ambos. Além disso, o sulfato de magnésio é recomendado para o tratamento, especialmente em casos de pressão arterial difícil de controlar. A assistência deve incluir também o cuidado psicológico das gestantes, personalizando o atendimento para fortalecer o vínculo entre o profissional de saúde e o paciente. Conclusão: a pré-eclâmpsia é uma grave complicação gestacional que pode afetar mãe e feto.

A criminologia midiática é a denominação dada pela doutrina para a interferência que a mídia exerce no sistema penal brasileiro. Através de programas sensacionalistas, com apresentadores populares indignados com o índice de criminalidade, a mídia divulga a ocorrência de crimes cruéis, com vítimas fatais e alto grau de reprovabilidade social, expondo o suposto autor como um indivíduo sem escrúpulos e bradam a necessidade imediata de que ele seja retirado do seio social e colocado em uma prisão onde deve permanecer por décadas. Acontece que, na maioria dos casos, esses indivíduos não foram ainda levados a julgamento do Tribunal, mas já é condenado pelo público, sem direito a recurso. A considerar a importância da mídia na sociedade, a pesquisa objetiva analisar o impacto da criminologia midiática na percepção pública do crime e nas políticas públicas no Brasil. Por meio de pesquisa dedutiva, fundamentada em material bibliográfica e exploratória e baseada na análise qualitativa dos conteúdos, o estudo irá elucidar a influência da mídia na percepção pública acerca do crime e seu enfrentamento, demonstrando o impacto que a criminologia midiática causa na sociedade e como ela interfere na atuação do Estado na criação de leis mais rigorosas para atender ao anseio social.

O presente artigo tem por fim tratar a interferência indevida do judiciário na norma jurídica, discorrendo sobre a definição de poder, a sua descentralização e o atual sistema brasileiro. Analisando como o aplicador da norma as vezes, tem tanto poder, que chega a ser maior do que da própria autoridade legislativa. E entender, qual o risco desse fenômeno jurídico, se ultrapassar o domínio da argumentação, e se transformar em um meio de tomada de decisões políticas. Com o objetivo de apresentar uma análise crítica, por meio do estudo da doutrina, sobre o papel e os limites do ativismo judicial, com o intuito de questionar as implicações desse fenômeno na separação dos poderes e no equilíbrio institucional.

Introdução: A segurança do paciente é considerada como a qualidade do cuidar, sendo essa assistência prestada de forma eficiente e efetiva em todos os níveis de atenção, para que o mesmo seja assistido de forma igualitária. Assim, para garantir que a integridade e bem-estar do paciente seja priorizada dentro dos serviços, foi criado o Programa Nacional de Segurança do Paciente, que dispõe de protocolos que visa diminuir os danos e eventos adversos que podem ser evitados.Objetivo: Identificar como a literatura cientifica aborda a segurança do paciente no âmbito da urgência e emergência. Metodologia: A pesquisa foi uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada nas bases de dados Scielo, Lilacs e Bdenf, mediante o uso dos descritores controlados em saúde: Segurança do paciente, emergência e qualidade da assistência à saúde. Foi realizado o cruzamento com o descritor booleano "and". A amostra foi composta pelos artigos que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão: estudos que abordaram o tema proposto, texto completo disponível nos idiomas português e inglês, publicados entre os anos de 2019 e 2024. Foram excluídos os artigos que se apresentaram em duplicata. Eles foram dispostos em tabelas apresentando as seguintes variáveis: Título, Autor, Ano, Periódico, Objetivo, Metodologia e Resultados, sendo analisados à luz da literatura pertinente. Por se tratar de um estudo de revisão, não foi necessária a aprovação pelo comitê de ética e pesquisa. Resultados e discussão: A segurança do paciente, conforme a OMS, envolve a redução de riscos nos cuidados de saúde, promovendo assistência de qualidade. O Programa Nacional de Segurança do Paciente (PNSP) estabelece protocolos para garantir essa segurança, como os de cirurgia segura e higiene das mãos. A participação dos pacientes na promoção de sua própria segurança é essencial, assim como a comunicação sobre eventos adversos. As unidades de urgência e emergência enfrentam desafios significativos relacionados à segurança, e os profissionais de saúde também podem se tornar "segunda vítimas" de incidentes. Portanto, a segurança do paciente deve ser uma prioridade em todos os serviços de saúde. Conclusão: A segurança do paciente é essencial na assistência em saúde, refletindo a qualidade do atendimento. O Programa Nacional de Segurança do Paciente (PNSP) e a participação dos pacientes são fundamentais para reduzir riscos, mas desafios nas unidades de urgência podem comprometer essa segurança.

Abstract. Nitrous acid (HONO) is a main precursor of hydroxyl radicals (OH), which contribute to the formation of numerous secondary air pollutants in the troposphere. Despite its importance in atmospheric chemistry, HONO chemistry has not been fully incorporated into many chemical transport models (CTMs). Due to the lack of atmospheric HONO processes, CTM simulations often tend to underestimate atmospheric mixing ratios of HONO. This study was undertaken because simulations with the current Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model have a strong tendency to underestimate the HONO mixing ratio. In search of missing sources of atmospheric HONO, we attempted to sequentially incorporate the following potential HONO sources and processes into the CMAQ modeling framework: (i) gas-phase HONO reactions, (ii) traffic HONO emissions, (iii) soil HONO emissions, (iv) heterogeneous HONO production on the surfaces of aerosols, (v) heterogeneous HONO formation on tree leaf and building surfaces, and (vi) photolysis reactions of particulates and deposited HNO3/nitrates called “renoxification”. The simulation performances of the modified CMAQ models were then evaluated by comparing the modeled HONO mixing ratios with the HONO mixing ratios observed at the Olympic Park station in Seoul, South Korea. When HONO processes were fully added to the CMAQ model, average daily HONO mixing ratios increased from 0.06 to 1.18 ppb. The daytime HONO mixing ratios produced from the CMAQ model run with a full account of atmospheric HONO processes were found to be in better agreement with observations than those from the original CMAQ model (CMAQv5.2.1) runs with improved statistical metrics (e.g., the index of agreement (IOA) increased from 0.59 to 0.68, while the mean bias (MB) decreased dramatically from −0.57 to −0.34 ppb). In addition, we investigated the contributions of individual atmospheric HONO processes to HONO mixing ratios, as well as the impacts of HONO atmospheric processes on the concentrations of other atmospheric species in South Korea. All these issues are also discussed in this paper.
Behavioural Barriers to the Uptake of Building Sustainability Rating Tools: The Architects' Perspective
Authors:   , Gurbuz Tuba
Published: November 2024

This thesis explores the behavioural barriers that prevent Australian architects from adopting Building Sustainability Rating Tools (BSRTs). Despite growing awareness of environmental impacts, architects encounter significant obstacles to integrating BSRTs into their practices. Through interviews with 19 Australian architects, the study identifies four key barriers: high upfront costs, limited BSRT education for clients and designers, inadequate government support, and unrealistic credit requirements. The findings underscore the pivotal role of architects in advancing sustainable design and offer strategies to overcome these barriers, paving the way for broader BSRT adoption.

Group of 100 members of Russian Orthodox Christian community in several cities of Daghestan, Russian Federation, both young and aged, male and female, were interviewed by means of three standard questionnaires, two of which were constructed by Russian experts in religious psychology, and the third was a Russian version of the famous Allport-Ross inventory. Religious attitudes and patterns of behavior were studied, as part of mass comparative study of religiosity in the framework of main world religions, conducted by UNESCO Chair on Comparative Studies of Spiritual Traditions, their Specific Cultures and Interreligious Dialogue, under the auspices of International Network of UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs in Interreligious Dialogue and Intercultural Understanding. Both self-assessment of religiosity, and integral index of extrinsic / intrinsic religiosity, rated quite high, independent of age or sex of respondents. Ratings of these indices reached approximately the same level as accessed by Muslims, both Sunni and Shiite. As to structural patterns, they were demonstrated to be highly religion-specific. Thus male Christians, regardless of their age, tended to rate on the scale of inner religiosity much lower than female Christians of any age, especially aged women. A similar tendency was detected for index which measured inclination of respondents to turn to religion in order to resolve stressful personal problems. It would be most constructive to include regularities of this kind, having to do with deeply embedded attitudes and stereotypes of Russian Orthodox Christians, into interfaith / intercultural dialogue with them.
Model, Character, Hero in the Photo
Authors:   The State Institute for Art Studies, YURGENEVA Alexandra L.
Published: November 2024

The article attempts to analyse how the concepts of model, character and hero relate to the practices of creating a photo portrait. Just as photography itself is able to change its meaning depending on the environment where its interpretation takes place, there is a situational use of words denoting the captured person in the scientific literature. The problem is marked by the ambiguity of the relationship between the photographer, the subject and the emerging image. Digital photography, being actively involved in the processes of virtual communication, forces us to pay more attention to the inclusion of photographic images in the communication environment on social networks. Self-presentation through snapshots has a direct impact on the situation of deanonymization on the Internet, when the user's mask becomes more plastic and dynamic. Filling in a page on a social network is accompanied by the creation of a character representing the user, perceived by its creator and visitors to the page as the main character. The internal framework and rules for its construction are gradually being formed. In the field of artistic photography, the concept of a model arises at the moment of the photographer's interaction with the person being portrayed. However, turning to the result of their joint work, we find the "hero" of the work. The model is always present in the picture, even when it comes to selfies. At the moment of creating a self-portrait, a person simultaneously combines the roles of an author and a model. The perception of an image from a photographic portrait as a character is born when the general visualization of the environment in which the subjects live turns out to be more important than their exclusivity and their whole value lies in belonging and compliance with it. It is concluded that when a photo portrait is removed from a personal virtual album and transferred to an alien environment, it is given the status of a character with an emphasis on image reduction. The personification of the person in the picture arises simultaneously with the loss of a large part of his personal characteristics and an increase in the degree of his correlation with the social type.

Information about the textural and structural features of chromite ores of the South Kempirsay massif is summarized. It is shown that the formation of chrome deposits with unique reserves is inextricably linked with the formation of the ophiolite-harzburgite complex, and the localization of mineralization is always present in monomineral olivine rocks-dunites. Surface chromite ores differ in the composition of Cr2O3, mineral composition, particle size distribution, degree of oxidation, uniformity of ores. Low-temperature processes completely changed the initial mineral composition of the main ultramafic rocks, but slightly affected the initial micro- and macro-level structures. Serpentinites take the place of olivine and pyroxenes, but their pseudomorphs are preserved, and no significant tectonic movements have occurred in the primary mineral aggregates within large blocks. This made it possible to study the textural and structural characteristics of ultramafic and chromite.
