Published: June 2022

Contemporary society is passing an increase in ordinary crime. To fight this, law enforcement agencies must accelerate the entire process and find a way to impeach culprits against justice. One similar system could be using facial recognition technology to identify and corroborate culprits. Conventionally, forensic artists use hand- drawn sketches to identify culprits and contemporizing this system requires relating culprits by comparing the sketches to law-enforcement databases. Taking this approach will pose a number of limitations to the current technology, as there are fairly many felonious artists available compared to the growing number of crimes. Our idea is to speed up the process for law enforcement departments by creating a standalone platform that can be used to directly sketch a suspect without backing from a forensic sketch artist and with no special training or cultural chops. Sketches can be created with drag-and- drop in operations with colorful facial rudiments, and synthetic face sketches drawn using deep literacy and pall structure can be automatically counterplotted to law-enforcement databases much briskly and more efficiently.

Authors: Bhatt Pooja , Dahiya Priyanka
Published: June 2022

The primary objective of this paper is to assess and detect intrusions, which is one of the most complicated tasks due to the increasing diversity of attacks. As advanced breaches grow increasingly, it will become more difficult to detect them in various industries, such as industry and national security. Traditional intrusion detection methods are no longer capable of detecting malicious behaviour that follows unusual patterns. CSE-CICIDS2018 dataset is a popular dataset used for testing intrusion detection systems (IDS). This research was intended to develop predictive models for network-based intrusion detection. That is the latest intrusion detection dataset, which is huge data, open source, and covers a broad spectrum of attack patterns. This research uses two machine-learning-based algorithms, the Random Forest and Decision Tree algorithms, to focus on training and testing accuracy of the dataset. This paper finds out that the Random Forest provides the highest 99% accuracy as compared to the Decision Tree.

A Macerated Advanced Abdominal Pregnancy Co-existing With a Normal Intra -Uterine Pregnancy: A Case Study
Authors: Farouk Halima Umar , Buwa Mohammed Garba , Guduf Mohammed Ibrahim , Lawan Aliyu Ibrahim , Dawha Yahaya Musa
Published: June 2022

An abdominal pregnancy is not a common occurrence reported sparsely in the literature. But what is even more uncommon is the finding of a dead and retained, supra hepatic, abdominal pregnancy co-existing with a live intra uterine pregnancy at different stages of development. This is an extremely rare case of a 22-year old multigravida, who presented with 6 months amenorrhoea, abdominal distension and difficulty in breathing. She had a previous history of a preexisting advanced abdominal pregnancy diagnosed a year earlier which had not been delivered. Evaluations revealed a viable intra-uterine gestation at 24 weeks, co-existing with a non-viable, sub-diaphragmatic/supra-hepatic abdominal pregnancy at term. She had the macerated abdominal pregnancy delivered at laparotomy and the intra-uterine pregnancy was left to continue. She developed Preeclampsia and eventually had pre-term premature rupture of membranes PPROM at 28 weeks of gestation with a live birth of a female fetus that weighed 800 grammes. There have been very few reports on advanced abdominal pregnancy and even more rarely, human superfetation in multiple pregnancy, but not a report on an intrauterine conception with a pre-existing advanced, abdominal ectopic pregnancy until now. This report is thus the first of its kind. We report an extremely rare case of a woman conceiving an intrauterine pregnancy, carrying it to the age of viability in the presence of a previously conceived, undelivered, dead, advanced abdominal pregnancy

Authors: David Guerrero Diego Fernando , Colmenares Flórez Ricardo Alonso , Lara Papamija Dennis Augusto
Published: June 2022

La investigación se propuso como objetivo de entender el concepto de patrimonio gastronómico biocultural. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica empleando el Google Académico. Se revisó el periodo 2015-2019 en relación con los términos: “contabilidad cultural” y “patrimonio gastronómico”. De la revisión realizada se pudo concluir que la concepción de patrimonio esta referenciada desde el aspecto financiero y la relación con los elementos culturales solo se la genera en la perspectiva de la cual el patrimonio se relaciona con la existencia y determinación. El análisis de contenidos permitió identificar que el tema del patrimonio gastronómico ha pasado a ser objeto de investigación en Contabilidad cultural, junto con las temáticas más tradicionales: el patrimonio cultura el cual se mantiene como una importante línea de investigación en Contabilidad social. La presente investigación se desarrolló bajo el paradigma cuantitativo, el cual según Galeano (2004) se caracteriza por la objetividad del investigador frente al hecho que investiga. En esta investigación el punto de referencia es la recolección de información, interpretación, medición y cuantificación de esta, que permitirá diagnosticar las debilidades empresariales y diseñar estrategias de competitividad tendientes al fortalecimiento de gestión en las áreas contables y financieras. En el desarrollo de la investigación se utilizaron, además, los elementos ofrecidospor la etnografía. Al hablar desde el diálogo de sus protagonistas (cocineros y cocineras), resulta pertinente preguntarse: “¿qué papel jugará en ello nuestra voz?, ¿Qué efectos provoca nuestra escucha?, y ¿Cuánto puede alterar, desde su localización-distinta, a la voz que está escuchando? (Rivera, 2010, p. 228).

Authors: Malekiantaghi Armen , Jafari Mohsen , Noory Maryam , Eftekhari Kambiz
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Typical manifestations of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) include respiratory involvement. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms have also been reported as early clinical manifestations. The GI involvement can represent with diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. The present research aimed to identify dysentery as one of the signs of GI involvement in the novel coronavirus infection in children. Case Presentation: We report twelve patients with COVID-19 and dysentery. All these children had positive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results. None had underlying illnesses or recent travel history. However, all children had contact with a first-degree relative affected by non-digestive COVID-19. In three patients, obvious dysentery was observed, and in the rest, red and white blood cells were evident in the stool exam. Stool exams were negative for bacterial infections, parasites, and the toxin of Clostridium difficile. Abdominal ultrasonography and echocardiographic evaluations to rule out multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children were normal. Supportive treatment, such as zinc supplementation and probiotics, was prescribed. They also received intravenous fluid therapy based on their dehydration percentage. In the end, they were discharged in good general condition without any complications. No GI complications were found in the follow-up series. Conclusions: Dysentery in children can be one of the GI manifestations of COVID-19, which is usually self-limiting. It does not require invasive diagnostic measures and antiviral treatments. This symptom is in contrast to other viral infections of the GI tract.

Procedural features of sending a request for legal assistance in the interaction of the preliminary investigation bodies of Russia and the CIS countries in criminal cases
Authors: Radzhabzoda Dzhamshed Ibrohim
Published: June 2022

The subject of this study is the legal norms contained in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, national normative legal acts, organizational and administrative documents (orders, orders) of heads of law enforcement agencies, international treaties aimed at regulating public and legal relations on the issues of sending requests for legal assistance in the field of interaction between the preliminary investigation bodies of Russia and CIS countries when criminal proceedings. The purpose of the study is to conduct an analysis of judicial and investigative practice in order to identify the most typical errors that usually cause refusal to execute a request in order to eliminate problems and eliminate legal gaps in the legislative regulation of the mechanism for sending and executing requests for legal assistance in criminal cases. The dialectical method of scientific cognition was used, as well as comparative – legal, logical – analytical, systemic, as well as formal – legal research methods. The article examines the issues related to sending a request as one of the forms of interaction between the preliminary investigation bodies of Russia and the law enforcement agencies of the CIS countries. The legal regulation is analyzed and the specifics of the request direction are considered. The novelty of the article lies in the identification of problematic aspects of cooperation and the conflict of criminal procedure legislation and international agreements, which usually cause refusal to execute the request, including one of the most difficult problems in this area – compliance with procedural deadlines for the execution of the request. The proposals contributing to the resolution of existing problems are formulated. In particular, the author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to supplement the provisions of normative acts regulating the mechanism of sending a request for legal assistance so that the investigator can necessarily indicate in the content of the request the terms of its execution, taking into account significant factors.
Countering corruption as a threat to public security in foreign countries
Authors: Filatova Elena Vital'evna
Published: June 2022

Among the factors that pose a systemic threat to public security in modern realities, one of the most important is the spread of corruption. At the same time, many of the foreign countries have faced manifestations of this threat much earlier than the Russian Federation, and therefore have accumulated more substantial experience in countering them. In this context, the article examines the specifics of the implementation of various anti-corruption models that take place in world practice (Singapore, the United States of America, Ireland, etc.). It also substantiates the most important role of the public control system in the system of leveling threats to public security generated by corruption factors.   In the context of the topic under consideration, it seems necessary to legislatively regulate the order of interaction of public control institutions with state and municipal bodies, as well as the responsibility of the latter for non-assistance or opposition to structures empowered to carry out public anti-corruption control.Summing up the analysis, I would like to note that the use of foreign experience of administrative and legal regulation both in the field of formation of mechanisms of public (public) anti-corruption control and improvement of anti-corruption mechanisms in general is one of the most important areas of ensuring public safety due to the extremely high danger posed by modern trends in the development of corruption processes for the formation of the environment, characteristic of a healthy society.
Postchemotherapy Associated Histopathological Findings in Invasive Breast Carcinoma: A Camouflaged Signature
Authors: RamaSwamy AS , Kumarguru BN , Kumar V Sunil , Prashant BM , Kumar M Udaya
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women world-wide. Application of preoperative Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NACT) has become a frequently employed therapeutic approach to treat breast cancer patients. Such chemotherapy alters the morphology of both malignant tumour tissue and adjacent benign breast tissue. Aim: To compare the histopathological features in mastectomies done for invasive breast carcinoma among those who received NACT with those who had not received NACT. Materials and Methods: It was a retrospective observational study of invasive breast carcinoma cases conducted at a rural tertiary care referral institute, PES Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (PESIMSR), Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh, India, from January 2013 to April 2015. The histopathological features in mastectomies were evaluated using a modified scoring system and compared between those who received NACT (study group) and those who had not received NACT (control group). Postchemotherapy associated histopathological features were analysed for statistical significance. Frequencies, Chi-square test and crosstabs were the statistical tools used to analyse the data. All statistical calculations were done through Statistical Software Data (STATA) version 14.1. Results: Out of 24 cases analysed, the study group (mean age=53.67 years) and control group (mean age=45.92 years) constituted 12 cases each. In postchemotherapy cases, fibroelastosis (p-value= 0.027) was a significant feature in the malignant tumour tissue. Stromal fibrosis (p-value=0.036), epithelial atypia (p-value <0.0001) and calcification (p-value=0.002) were significant features in the benign breast tissue. Conclusion: In postchemotherapy cases, fibroelastosis was significant histopathological feature in malignant tumour tissue. Stromal fibrosis, epithelial atypia and calcification were significant histopathological features in the benign breast tissue. Such findings may be considered as camouflaged signature of chemotherapy. It may be hypothesised that calcification in the benign breast tissue may indicate a tell-tale sign of cell injury secondary to systemic chemotherapeutic agents.

Published: June 2022

Surface water is one of the most significant elements of the earth's ecosystem. It is the basic information for analysing the changes in the environment. Therefore it is important to monitor water resources accurately. Nowadays remote sensing plays a major role in extraction of water spread area. In this study, change in water spread area of tanks was mapped for Coimbatore corporation from 2000 to 2021. The analysis was performed in Google earth engine platform using Landsat ETM+ and Landsat OLI datasets. The images for pre monsoon and post monsoon season were scrutinized and classified using random forest classifier in Google earth engine. The area of each tanks and their deviations were calculated for the study period. Results of the study showed that the lowest water spread area was observed in the period from 2000 to 2005 for both pre monsoon and post monsoon season. The tank has maximum water spread area during post monsoon season. The difficulties that has been confronted during the research is the unavailability of images due to cloud cover. The study shows that the random forest classifier can be effectively used to extract water features and water spread area.

Published: June 2022

Concerns about first generation bioethanol's impact on the food chain and biodiversity have shifted research to second generation (2G) bioethanol technologies. The 2G-bioethanol is made from lignocellulosic biomass, which is more sustainable and does not harm food security or the environment. This production process uses non-food crops, food crop residues, wood or food wastes, such as wood chips, skins, or pulp from fruit pressing. The present study examines the bioethanol production potential of three lignocellulosic biomass residues: corn cob, corn husk, and corn stem, as well as their physiochemical and mineral composition before and after fermentation. Before fermentation, the corn waste samples were hydrolyzed into sugar monomer and the hydrolysate was fermented separately to produce bioethanol for five days at 282oC using two Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains: typed yeast ATCC 3585 and Baker's yeast ATCC 204508/S288c. At one-day intervals, the pH, simple sugar and ethanol production were measured. ANOVA was used to find significant differences between the investigated organisms. The results showed that Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 35858 produces more ethanol than the other strain (20.25±0.63). Corn cob also produced more ethanol than stem and husk. During fermentation, the typed yeasts outperformed the Baker's yeast in pH, reducing sugar, and specific gravity. Average dry yeast cell mass (ADM) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 35858 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 204508/S288c were 1.82±0.07 and 1.98±0.03, respectively. According to proximate composition, fermentation lost over 50% of the corn waste's nutrients (ash), while recovering over 50% of the minerals (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium). The ability of the two Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains to produce bioethanol was not significantly different at p value ≤ 0.05.

Then, based on the available state of networks and the estimation of summarized unknown parameters shown in the models, the adaptive state feedback controller is synthesized to make the outer synchronization error of two networks converge asymptotically to an arbitrarily small neighborhood at the origin. Finally, the results of simulation show the validity and advantages of the controller.
The Effect of Strain in Recrystallization Region on Interphase Precipitation and Mechanical Properties of Ferritic Microalloyed Steels
Authors: Singh Navjeet , Wexler David , Kostryzhev Andrii , Killmore Chris , Pereloma Elena
Published: June 2022

High yield strength (710–862 MPa) ferritic microalloyed steels are developed through the combined contribution of Nb, Mo, V, and Cr microalloying and controlled thermomechanical treatment. Microstructures and mechanical properties are characterized using advanced microscopy techniques and uniaxial tensile testing. NbV carbonitrides with/without Mo (depending on steel composition) are formed in austenite and range from 30 to 70 nm in average diameter. However, V‐ and Cr‐rich interphase (3–7 nm range) and random (1–6 nm range) precipitates are found in polygonal ferrite. An increase in roughing strain in the recrystallization region results in finer polygonal ferrite grains, higher number density of NbV carbonitrides and VCr interphase precipitates, and their size reduction. Higher roughing strain also minimize the intersheet spacing of interphase precipitates. Finer polygonal ferrite grains and a greater number of nanosized interphase precipitates are responsible for the higher yield strength of 862 MPa in the VCrNb steel processed with a larger strain in the recrystallization region.

Published: June 2022

Printable and stretchable conductive elastomers have promising applications for epidermal and wearable electronics, soft robotics, etc. However, these conductive materials usually present poor performances in monitoring dynamic strains. The monitored signals are distorted and lose key physical signs, which limit their practical applications. Through investigating kinetic behaviors of conductive pathways along longitudinal and transverse directions in these conductive materials, the physical mechanism of signal distortion under dynamic strains is interpreted. To overcome this strain sensing problem, an Ag‐Ecoflex‐polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer by printing Ag‐filler‐Ecoflex‐matrix ink on PDMS is proposed. Compared to other conductive materials, the Ag‐Ecoflex‐PDMS elastomer has preferable dynamic performances, embodying smaller overshoot response, higher strain sensitivity, and lower hysteresis. A deep‐learning‐based dynamic calibration method is proposed to successfully correct the sensing signals and eliminate the hysteresis error to 0.1%. Moreover, the proposed Ag‐Ecoflex‐PDMS elastomers gain high electrical conductivities owing to thermal expansion and contraction of PDMS substrate during the thermosetting of conductive ink, and thus can be both excellent stretchable sensors and stretchable conductors. Demonstrations of monitoring knee motion with high fidelity and human–robot collaborative playing ping‐pong validate superior accuracy and robustness of the Ag‐Ecoflex‐PDMS elastomers for monitoring human dynamic activities, human‐machine collaboration, virtual reality, etc.

Published: June 2022

Introduction

Cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) have been individually associated with adverse cognitive outcomes, but their combined effect has not been investigated.

Methods

A total of 2577 dementia‐free participants 60 years of age or older were followed for 12 years to observe changes in cognitive function and to detect incident cognitive impairment, no dementia (CIND) and dementia. CMDs (including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke) were assessed at baseline through medical records and clinical examinations. Cardiometabolic multimorbidity was defined as the presence of two or more CMDs. Data were analyzed using multi‐adjusted linear mixed‐effects models, Cox regression, and Laplace regression.

Results

CMD multimorbidity was associated with cognitive decline, CIND (hazard ratio [HR] 1.73; 95% confidence interval CI 1.23 to 2.44), and its progression to dementia (HR 1.86; 95% CI 1.17 to 2.97). CMD multimorbidity accelerated the onset of CIND by 2.3 years and dementia by 1.8 years.

Conclusions

CMD multimorbidity accelerates cognitive decline and increases the risk of both CIND and its conversion to dementia.

Highlights

We explored the combined impact of cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) on cognition.

An increasing number of CMDs dose‐dependently accelerated cognitive decline.

CMD multimorbidity increased the risk of both cognitive impairment and dementia.

Co‐morbid CMDs could be ideal targets for interventions to protect cognitive health.

Published: June 2022

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with tunable chirality is currently a challenging issue in the development of supramolecular nanomaterials. We herein report the formation of helical nanoribbons which grow into helical tubes through dynamic helicity inversion. For this, chiral PtIIcomplexes of terpyridine derivatives, namelyS‐trans‐1andR‐trans‐1, with respectiveS‐ andR‐alanine subunits and incorporatingtrans‐double bonds in the alkyl chain were prepared. In DMSO/H2O (5 : 1v/v),S‐trans‐1initially forms a fibrous self‐assembled product, which then undergoes dynamic transformation into helical tubes (left‐handed orM‐type) through helical ribbons (right‐handed orP‐type). Interestingly, both helical supramolecular architectures are capable of emitting CPL signals. The metastable helical ribbons show CPL signals (glum=±4.7×10−2) at 570 nm. Meanwhile, the nanotubes, which are the thermodynamic products, show intense CPL signals (glum=±5.6×10−2) at 610 nm accompanied by helicity inversion. This study provides an efficient way to develop highly dissymmetric CPL nanomaterials by regulating the morphology of metallosupramolecular architectures.

Published: June 2022

Acetic acid is an essential intermediate chemical in industry. Traditional inorganic membrane cannot meet the demand of high‐efficient dehydration and polymeric membrane is restricted by its low organic solution resistance. In this work, a novel aciduric pervaporation composite membrane was successfully generated by fabricating an ultrathin polysulfonamide (PSA) layer on the polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous substrate via interfacial polymerization (IP) method. Through the optimization of fabrication process including selecting the suitable structure of diamine (taking three types aliphatic amines as candidates), optimizing the concentration of two phase solutions, the resultant thin‐film nanofibrous composite (TFNC) membrane was fabricated by using aliphatic amine triethylenetetramine (TETA: 3.0 wt%) and 1, 3‐benzenedisulfonyl chloride (BDSC: 1.0 wt%) as IP monomers and the network structure with suitable sieving size was constructed. The ultrathin aciduric PSA selective layer (thickness: 104 ± 15 nm) endowed the TFNC membrane with excellent separation efficiency. For dehydrating 70 wt% acetic acid aqueous solution at 60°C, PSA‐3.0‐1.0/PAN TFNC membrane exhibited competitive separation efficiency and great acid stability. It possessed extremely high permeate flux (15,321 g/m2 h) with stable separation factor (109). For long‐term acid dehydration evaluation, PSA/PAN membrane showed great stability during 7 days pervaporation. This work took advantage of traditional IP method for designing a novel pervaporation membrane with aciduric chemical structure, suggested an effective and facile approach to develop novel pervaporation membranes for harsh environment separation.

Published: June 2022

Simvastatin (SIM)‐loaded and human decellularized adipose tissue (DAT)‐coated porous hydroxyapatite (HAp) microspheres were developed for the first time to investigate their potential on bone regeneration. Microspheres were loaded with SIM and then coated with DAT for modifying SIM release and improving their biological response. HAp microspheres were prepared by water‐in‐oil emulsion method using camphene (C10H16) as porogen followed by camphene removal by freeze‐drying and sintering at 1200°C for 3 h. Sintered HAp microspheres with an average particle size of ~400 µm were porous and spherical in shape. Microspheres were incubated with 1, 2.5, and 5 mg/ml SIM stock solutions for drug loading, and drug loading was determined as 7.5 ± 0.79, 20.41 ± 1.93, and 46.26 ± 0.29 µg SIM/mg microspheres, respectively. SIM loading increased with the increase of the initial SIM loading amount. Faster SIM release was observed in DAT‐coated microspheres compared to bare counterparts. Higher SaoS‐2 cell attachment and proliferation were observed on DAT‐coated microspheres. Significantly higher alkaline phosphatase activity of SaoS‐2 cells was observed on DAT‐coated microspheres containing 0.01 mg/ml SIM than all other groups (p < 0.01). DAT‐coated microspheres loaded with SIM at low doses hold promise for bone tissue engineering applications.
