Authors: Kour Ishween , Mahajan Kashish , Mangotra Roopali , Gupta Kulbhushan , Gupta Vikrant
Published: April 2023

Accurate assessment of gestational age (GA) is pivotal to provide good quality maternity care. Reliability of routinely
used ultrasonographic biometric parameters like Biparietal diameter (BPD), Head circumference (HC) and Femur
length (FL) decrease with increasing GA.Fetal kidney length (FKL) and transverse cerebellar diameter (TCD) have been
shown to strongly correlate with GA in 2nd and 3rd trimester.The present study was conducted on 150 pregnant women
at 20 weeks of gestation to evaluate the role of FKL and TCD in estimation of GA and compare their accuracy with other
established biometric indices. The GA of the included women was confirmed by early dating scan and exact Last
Menstrual Period (LMP).BPD,HC,FL,FKL and TCD were calculated in millimetres (mm) and GA was calculated by using
these parameters individually. Standard deviation and standard error of the GA calculated at 20 weeks was lesser for
TCD and FKL than BPD, HC and FL with p values of 0.01636 and 0.0129 respectively. It was also observed that values of
TCD and FKL in mm correspond to GA in weeks. So it was concluded that FKL and TCD can be used as an individual
parameter in estimating GA in mid trimester in patients presenting for the first time with uncertain dates, lack of early
dating scan or with IUGR.

Liver abscess is a common cause of febrile illness in India. It usually presents with fever and right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is not a commonly described clinical presentation of liver abscess. In liver abscess, upper gastrointestinal bleeding would usually be attributed to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory druginduced esophagitis, erosive mucosal disease, or duodenal or gastric ulcer, as would be expected in any febrile illness. I present a case report of a patient who presented with febrile illness and upper gastrointestinal bleed due to a ruptured liver abscess perforating into the stomach.

Published: April 2023

Qual é o papel do romance histórico e que tipo de conhecimento ele suscita? Este artigo pretende discutir diferentes concepções sobre a natureza do romance histórico. A partir de ideias expostas por Saramago, Benjamin, Hutcheon e outros, pretende-se enumerar diferentes possibilidades para o tratamento da História por meio da escrita literária, bem como atentar para o que o escritor de ficção e o historiador têm em comum, para o caráter parcial e subjetivo da História e para a importância de se tencionar o saber oficial com narrativas que explorem os silêncios e a violência apagados pela narração da História dos vencedores.
Sexualidades desviantes:
Authors: Cavalcanti Carlos , Postal Ricardo
Published: April 2023

A sexualidade é um campo que tem ganhado espaço para discussão, tanto dos estudos acadêmicos quanto na produção literária. Nesse sentido, a Literatura Juvenil incorpora esse campo de discussão também nas suas produções. Mas, a respeito das sexualidades que não contemplam o molde heteronormativo, observa-se ainda certa invisibilidade no tratamento delas e suas representações em obras juvenis. Com isso em mente, o presente trabalho busca observar à luz de teóricos como Michel Foucault (2003), Judith Butler (2002), Jeffrey Weeks (2001), Guacira Lopes Louro (2001), como a obra de literatura juvenil nacional, Um Milhão de Finais Felizes, do ano de 2018, representa a invisibilidade da bissexualidade em relação a outras sexualidades moldadas segundo os dispositivos de opressão e regulação da sexualidade.
SAP: A Secure Low-latency Protocol for Mitigating High Computation Overhead in WI-FI Networks
Authors: Jain Vineeta , Wetzker Ulf , Laxmi Vijay , Gaur Manoj Singh , Mosbah Mohamed , Mery Dominique
Published: April 2023

 The increase in popularity of wireless networks in industrial, embedded, medical and public sectors has made them an appealing attack surface for attackers who exploit the vulnerabilities in network protocols to launch attacks such as Evil Twin, Man-in-the-middle, sniffing, etc., which may result in economic and non-economic losses. To protect wireless networks against such attacks, IEEE 802.11 keep updating the protocol standards with new and more secure versions. There has always been a direct correlation between attacks and the improvement of protocol standards. As the sophistication of attacks increases, protocol standards tend to move towards higher security, resulting in a significant rise in both latency and computational overhead, and severe degradation in the performance of low-latency applications such as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), automotive, robotics, etc. In this paper, we make the first attempt to highlight the importance of both latency and security in wireless networks from implementation and performance perspective. We make a review of existing IEEE 802.11 protocols in terms of security offered and overhead incurred to substantiate the fact that there is a need of a protocol which in addition to providing optimum security against attacks also maintains the latency and overhead. We also propose a secure and low-latency protocol known as Secure Authentication Protocol (SAP) which operates in two phases - registration and authentication, where the first phase is a one time process implemented using asymmetric cryptography and the second phase is implemented using symmetric cryptography. The protocol is structured in a way that it maintains the original structure of IEEE 802.11 protocols and performs both phases using fewer messages than existing protocols. By simulating the protocol using well-established OMNeT++ simulator, we proved that the proposed protocol incurs a low computation overhead, making it ideal for low-latency applications. We extensively verified the security properties of the proposed protocol using formal verification through widely-accepted Scyther tool. Finally, we perform a comparative analysis of SAP with existing IEEE 802.11 wireless network protocols to highlight the improvement.

Authors: Khowaja Sunder Ali , Khuwaja Parus , Dev Kapal
Published: April 2023

ChatGPT is another large language model (LLM) inline but due to its performance and ability to converse effectively, it has gained a huge popularity amongst research as well as industrial community. Recently, many studies have been published to show the effectiveness, efficiency, integration, and sentiments of chatGPT and other LLMs. In contrast, this study focuses on the important aspects that are mostly overlooked, i.e. sustainability, privacy, digital divide, and ethics and suggests that not only chatGPT but every subsequent entry in the category of conversational bots should undergo Sustainability, PrivAcy, Digital divide, and Ethics (SPADE) evaluation. This paper discusses in detail about the issues and concerns raised over chatGPT in line with aforementioned characteristics. We support our hypothesis by some preliminary data collection and visualizations along with hypothesized facts. We also suggest mitigations and recommendations for each of the concerns. Furthermore, we also suggest some policies and recommendations for AI policy act, if designed by the governments.

reXplan: A Novel Tool for the Analysis of Climate Resilience in Power Systems
Authors: Pizzimbone Luca , Jrad Firas
Published: April 2023

 The increase in extreme weather events induced  by climate change, and their impact on power systems, has  created a need for tools that can assess and improve system resilience. To meet this need, the R&D team of the Energy  System Consulting segment of Tractebel Engineering GmbH has developed a novel tool called reXplan. ReXplan is a Python  library for resilient electrical system planning under extreme  hazard events, such as windstorms, earthquakes, floods,  wildfire, etc. It is designed to help power system operators and  planners make better-informed decisions to create more  resilient and secure power grids. This paper provides an overview of reXplan's main features,  architecture, methodology of analysis and metrics. ReXplan is capable of modeling both spatiotemporal  extreme events and electrical power systems. It leverages technologies and techniques such as Julia/JuMP package and sequential Monte Carlo analysis with multivariate stratified  sampling to achieve high accuracy in the results while reducing  computational load. By quantifying resiliency metrics,  comparing different planning strategies, and validating technical solutions, reXplan can help reduce the risks of severe  outages in the grid. The software can be easily integrated into common data  science environments and is available as a Python library. For  computationally intensive tasks, such as optimal power flow,  reXplan is exploiting the fast speed of Julia programming  language, using PowerModels.jl as backend. 
Continuous Control Set Model Predictive Torque Control with Minimum Current Magnitude Criterion for Synchronous Electric Motor Drive
Authors: De Martin Ismaele Diego , Brosch Anian , Tinazzi Fabio , Zigliotto Mauro
Published: April 2023

To achieve high efficiency and dynamics in electric drive applications, it is necessary to have accurate torque control. This is typically accomplished through a current regulator that is fed by references generated by various open-loop control strategies, in order to obtain the desired torque. As an alternative, this work presents a  model predictive torque control. Starting from the torque reference, the algorithm generates optimal voltage references to the inverter-fed synchronous motor drive, while working at maximum efficiency and considering the motor current limit. This feature is achieved by combining two different norms in the cost function.

According to the paradigm of the more autonomous drives, an important feature is that the algorithm requires only knowledge of the motor model. This means that a tuning procedure for control weight is no longer required as analytically discussed in this work. 

Experimental validation of the proposed technique are performed on a test rig featuring an anisotropic permanent magnet motor in different dynamic operation, including flipping from the motor nominal working point to the generator one.
Customized Uncertainty Quantification of Parking Duration Predictions for EV Smart Charging
Authors: Phipps Kaleb , Schwenk Karl , Briegel Benjamin , Mikut Ralf , Hagenmeyer Veit
Published: April 2023

As Electric Vehicle (EV) demand increases, so does the demand for efficient Smart Charging (SC) applications. How- ever, SC is only acceptable if the EV user’s mobility requirements and risk preferences are fulfilled, i.e. their respective EV has enough charge to make their planned journey. To fulfill these requirements and risk preferences, the SC application must consider the predicted parking duration at a given location and the uncertainty associated with this prediction. However, certain regions of uncertainty are more critical than others for user- centric SC applications, and therefore, such uncertainty must be explicitly quantified. Therefore, the present paper presents multiple approaches to customize the uncertainty quantification of parking duration predictions specifically for EV user-centric SC applications. We decompose parking duration prediction errors into a critical component which results in undercharging, and a non-critical component. Furthermore, we derive quantile- based security levels that can minimize the probability of a critical error given a user’s risk preferences. We evaluate our customized uncertainty quantification with four different proba- bilistic prediction models on an openly available semi-synthetic mobility data set and a data set consisting of real EV trips. We show that our customized uncertainty quantification can regulate critical errors, even in challenging real-world data with high fluctuation and uncertainty 
Mahalanobis Distance of Reservoir States for Online Time-Series Anomaly Detection
Authors: Tamura Hiroto , Fujiwara Kantaro , Aihara Kazuyuki , Tanaka Gouhei
Published: April 2023

Automated anomaly detection in time-series data has important applications in modern society. In practical settings, sequence patterns must often be evaluated in real-time under limited computational resources and scarce training data, presenting significant challenges. Reservoir computing models can help reconcile the trade-off between computational expense and precision in such situations. We propose the Mahalanobis distance of reservoir states (MD-RS) method, as an alternative to standard reservoir-based methods that rely on prediction error. MD-RS can effectively highlight anomalies because it measures the deviation from the subspace that minimally encompasses reservoir responses to normal inputs. Our semi-supervised MD-RS method only requires training data labeled as normal, making it suitable for practical scenarios under limited training data. Both the training and inference can be performed online with reduced computational cost, enabling real-time anomaly detection. We apply the MD-RS method to a benchmark dataset with a short training phase from the UCR time series anomaly archive and demonstrate its superiority in terms of accuracy, reliability, and robustness over prediction error-based methods when employing the same reservoir. Additionally, we propose the response dimension increase (RDI) index for initial hyperparameter tuning, which measures the increase in the effective dimension of the reservoir trajectories. These results position our method as a leading choice for applications requiring rapid and accurate anomaly detection.
Joint Transmission and Resource Optimization in NOMA-assisted IoVT with Mobile Edge Computing
Authors: QIN Langtian
Published: April 2023

Internet of Video Things (IoVT) brings much higher requirements on the transmission and computing capabilities of wireless networks than traditional Internet of Things (IoT). Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and mobile edge computing (MEC) have been considered as two promising technologies to satisfy these requirements. However, successive interference cancellation (SIC) and grouping operations in NOMA as well as delay sensitive IoVT video tasks with different priorities make it challenging to achieve the optimal performance in NOMA-assisted IoVT with MEC. To address this issue, we formulate a joint optimization problem where both NOMA operations and MEC offloading are involved, with the goal to minimize the weighted average total delay. To tackle such intractable problem, we proposed a graph theory-based optimization framework, then decompose and transform the problem into finding \emph{negative} loops in the weighted directed graph. Specifically, we design a priority-based SIC decoding mechanism and propose convex optimization-based power allocation and computing resource allocation algorithms to calculate the adjacency matrix. Then, two negative loop searching algorithms are adopted to obtain the device association and grouping strategies. Simulation results demonstrate that compared with existing algorithms, the proposed algorithm reduces the weighted average total delay by up to 92.43% as well as improves the transmission rate of IoVT devices by up to 79.1%.
A Novel Approach for PV Cell Fault Detection using YOLOv8 and Particle Swarm Optimization
Authors: Phan Quoc Bao , Nguyen Tuy
Published: April 2023

This paper presents a novel approach for detecting faults in photovoltaic (PV) cells. The proposed method combines the power of You Only Look Once version 8 (YOLOv8) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) architecture. Unlike existing methods, the proposed model leverages PSO to optimize the parameters of YOLOv8, enhancing detection accuracy. To evaluate the efficacy of the proposed approach, two experimental cases are conducted, one with a 70% training set and the other with an 80% training set. The PV system data is used as input for the model, and YOLOv8 is utilized to extract necessary features before detecting fault cells from the data. We use PSO algorithm to optimize the model’s parameters to achieve the best detection accuracy. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves the highest mean Average Precision (mAP) of 94% at an intersection over union (IoU) threshold of 0.5, outperforming existing fault detection methods in terms of accuracy and robustness. Moreover, by leveraging the power of YOLOv8 and PSO, the approach offers a promising solution for reliable and efficient fault detection in PV systems, thus making it a practical solution to enhance the system’s performance and reduce maintenance expenses.

Published: April 2023

Introduction: Tuberculosis of the abdominal wall is a rare localization, the diagnosis of which on imaging remains difficult due to the absence of specific radiological signs, despite advances in imaging. Objective: The aim of this work is to reveal the interest of imaging in the diagnosis of this pathology. Case Report: We report the case of a 42- year-old man, with no history of tuberculosis infection, who presented for 4 months with a painless right dorsolumbar tumefaction, without fever, progressively increasing in volume, with the appearance of low back pain and uncounted weight loss 2 months later. Ultrasound examination of the swelling revealed two parietal collections, measuring respectively 1.2x3.5 cm and 4.8x3cm in long axis, with thickened walls communicating with each other through a pertus; they had a heterogeneous hypoechoic echostructure, containing fine non-vascularized echoes on color Doppler. A complementary CT scan) showed heterogeneously dense collections opposite L4 and L5, merging in depth, associated with a right sacroiliitis consisting of a significant widening of the joint space, erosions and subchondral geodes of the sacral joint side, with bone sequestration.The lesion assessment revealed another cerebral localization in the form of a left parietal tuberculoma. Percutaneous puncture of the parietal collection with culture on Löwenstein-Jensen medium revealed tubercle bacilli. Conclusion: Isolated parietal localization is a rare and unrecognized form of tuberculosis. Imaging can distinguish a tuberculous cold abscess from a wall tumor. Only histological and/or bacteriological examination of biopsies of the mass can confirm the diagnosis.

Outcomes of Periodontal Treatment on Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Periodontal Disease's Metabolic Control
Authors: - Shabana Tabbassum
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Periodontal disease (PD) is a chronic inflammatory disease that destroys the gingiva or tooth-supporting tissues.

Methodology: 260 patients from the diabetes clinic were referred to the dental clinic for treatment. 92 patients, or 35% of the type 2 DM patients who received contact letters, began dental treatment. 169 people were left, and 65% of them didn't make a dental appointment. The therapeutic goal of dental therapy was to get rid of infections in the periapical areas of teeth and from periodontal disorders.

Results: The frequency distribution of the percent pre/post changes in HbA1C in the control and treatment groups is compared in Table 3 between the two groups. Ten control individuals and five treatment subjects, out of each group's 36 participants, showed essentially no change in HgA1c levels (o5%) during the investigation's 10-month timeframe. 10 control subjects and 4 treatment subjects experienced worsening glucose control during this time. In contrast, glucose control significantly got better in 27 treatment patients and 16 control subjects.

Conclusion: We interpret the data in the study to suggest that periodontal therapy was associated with improved glycemic control in persons with type 2 DM.

A Modern 5G Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna alignment with frequency range for the 5G NR-n2 band (1.81 GHz) and protection band (5.85 GHz) that are dual-band for automobile communication and safety is offered. In a relatively shrunken dimension in relation to its working wavelength, the smallest frequency of resonance is relatively challenging to attain. The antenna's dimensions are 60 mm × 60 mm × 1.6 mm and it achieves a gain of 4.65 dBi and 3.38 dBi, at the frequency range of 1.81 GHz and 5.85 GHz. Because of the presence of ground slot, MIMO antennas offer isolation values of more than 19 dB and diversity gains that are comparatively close to 10 dB. In GSM and safety applications, this enhanced square single-element and MIMO antenna offers a noticeably increased gain and improved performance. The on-vehicle study of MIMO setups is performed to ensure the durability of the specified antenna in an automotive application.

The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill 2022 in Contrast with the EU General Data Protection Regulation: A Comparative Analysis
Authors: - Ashwini Kumar
Published: April 2023

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is considered to be the most comprehensive & strong privacy and data protection law in the world, which doesn’t only regulate within the territory of EU but also has an extraterritorial effect. GDPR has influenced privacy & data protection legislation of many nations. India is ready with the draft Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2022 (DPDP Bill) which is the latest in a series of draft legislations presented and removed since mid-2018. In this article we discuss the key differences between the GDPR & DPDP Bill by analysing the different approaches and methods prescribed in both the legislations to understand their scope & applicability, concerned parties, classification of personal data, legal basis for data processing, children’s rights, reporting breach, cross-border data transfer, penalties, etc. In conclusion, we can say that the GDPR is relatively more detailed in its instructions, whereas the DPDP Bill establishes certain fundamental concepts. The DPDP Bill offers a glimpse of hope for balancing the interests of data subjects while acknowledging the practical challenges that businesses may encounter.

Authors: - Deepmala Rathore , - S.N. Tiwari , - Pravanjan Acharya
Published: April 2023

Ayurveda has a comprehensive approach towards lifestyle disorders. Prevalence of lifestyle disorders, such as hypertension, DM, CVS (Computer Vision Syndrome), obesity, CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) etc. are rising alarmingly in recent era due to stressful sedentary lifestyle. The ayatana Asatmyendriyartha Samyoga, Prajnaparadha and Parinama are the common causative factors for both exogenous and endogenous types of diseases. Hence, it can be stated that these are causative factors for Trividha Dosha Prakopa. Trividha Vikalpa of these ayatana i.e. Atiyoga, Ayoga and Mithya yoga, these are responsible for manifestation of diseases, depending on the specific nature of causative factor and also the specificity of the Dhatu vaishamya. Therefore it can be said that these factors causes disturbance in equilibrium of Dosha, dhatu & mala resulting in lifestyle disorders. Remodeling & adoption of unhealthy Ahara-Vihara leads to various lifestyle disorders. Firstly, they lead to the imbalance of body / mind by vitiation principles, which makes the body prone to diseases, no matter whether it is an infection, manifestation of hereditary inclination or life style disorders. Hence an attempt has been made in this paper to understand the concept of life style disorder in terms of Ayurveda. Asatmyendriyartha samyoga refers to improper contact of the senses with their objects, and hence results in an over stimulation or deficiency of sensory and motor activity which leads to life style disorders.

The concept of preservation is included with the maintenance of libraries and archives since ancient times. Libraries need to preserve its collection in order to protect and preserve the history and culture of a nation for the posterity. Preservation is considered as the fundamental and an important task of the libraries. Traditionally some organic and natural methods were used to keep the books and other materials physically usable for a long time by slowing down or preventing their decay. Then we developed a more advanced way of preserving the materials in digital format. Though digital preservation needs constant attention still it is a long-term storage of information. This study is a review work from the Library and Information Science Abstract [LISA]. The study aims to know about the various traditional and digital methods of preservation and to identify the principal language of the research works and the journal in which maximum works were done.
