Dynamic monitoring and anomaly tracing of the quality in tobacco strip processing based on improved canonical variable analysis and transfer entropy
Authors: Yang Linchao , Liu Ying , Yang Guanglu , Peng Shi-Tong
Published: July 2023

Multivariate statistical monitoring methods are proven to be effective for the dynamic tobacco strip manufacturing process. However, the traditional methods are not sensitive enough to small faults and the practical tobacco processing monitoring requires further root cause of quality issues. In this regard, this study proposed a unified framework of detection-identification-tracing. This approach developed a dissimilarity canonical variable analysis (CVA), namely, it integrated the dissimilarity analysis concept into CVA, enabling the description of incipient relationship among the process variables and quality variables. We also adopted the reconstruction-based contribution to separate the potential abnormal variable and form the candidate set. The transfer entropy method was used to identify the causal relationship between variables and establish the matrix and topology diagram of causal relationships for root cause diagnosis. We applied this unified framework to the practical operation data of tobacco strip processing from a tobacco factory. The results showed that, compared with traditional contribution plot of anomaly detection, the proposed approach cannot only accurately separate abnormal variables but also locate the position of the root cause. The dissimilarity CVA proposed in this study outperformed traditional CVA in terms of sensitiveness to faults. This method would provide theoretical support for the reliable abnormal detection and diagnosis in the tobacco production process.

Authors: Jose Chris , Pailoor Kirana
Published: July 2023

Introduction and Aim: In the global pandemic caused by Covid-19, older individuals and those with comorbidities have been shown to be more susceptible to serious diseases. The purpose of our research is to estimate the proportion of Covid-19 inpatients requiring blood transfusions over a period of 3 months.
 
Materials and Methods: A retrospective observational analysis of blood product consumption in Covid-19 inpatients at our center from April to June 2021 was conducted by reviewing monthly transfusion records archived in our blood bank.  Each blood component administered in Covid-19 wards during the prescribed period was noted.
 
Results: Out of 1096 Covid-19 inpatients, only 66 (6.02%) patients received transfusions. As compared to non-Covid wards, Covid-19 wards had substantially lower transfusion rates for packed cell units (84 vs. 1074 units), FFP (33 vs. 691 units), and platelets (46 vs. 595 units). A total of 163 units of blood components were given to 66 Covid-19 inpatients, the majority of which were packed cell units (51.5%).
 
Conclusion: In comparison to hospitalized non Covid patients, Covid-19 inpatients required fewer transfusions. In our institute, only the Covid 19 patients who were critically sick received blood transfusions; the rest received conservative therapy for their mild to moderate illnesses. This information will be beneficial for our department as it helps us plan and prepare for the use of blood supplies while the pandemic is still going strong.

Authors: Ratnadita Adelia , Christnawati  , Sri Pudyani Pinandi
Published: July 2023

Introduction and Aim: Exposure to blue light-emitting diode (blue-LED) during the stabilization period can prevent relapse by increasing the tension side osteoblast, which is characterized by increased levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). Increasing ALP levels occurred from day 7 with the highest peak on day 14 post-stabilization. The purpose of this research was to analyze the effect of blue-LED exposure during the stabilization period on ALP levels in the tension side GCF of Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) at days 0, 3, 7, and 14 post-stabilizations.
 
Materials and Methods: Ten male Wistar rats aged 2.5-3 months, weighing 200-250 grams were divided into two groups (control and LED group). An orthodontic force of 35 grams was applied to the mandibular inter incisors of Wistar rats using an open coil spring. Blue-LED (490 nm wavelength, 1000 mW/cm² light intensity) exposure for 30 seconds once a day during a 7-day stabilization period. Gingival crevicular fluid was taken with paper points on days 0, 3, 7, and 14 post-stabilizations for ALP levels measurement using an ELISA method. Two-way ANOVA and Post Hoc LSD statistical tests were performed.
 
Results: The results showed LED group ALP levels were higher than the control group. There has been a significant increase in ALP levels on days 7 and 14 in the control and LED groups.
 
Conclusion: It was concluded that blue-LED exposure increased tension side ALP levels. Increasing ALP levels occurred from day 7 with the highest peak level on day 14. Blue-LED exposure in the stabilization period is a favorable therapeutic option to accelerate alveolar bone formation due to being non-invasive, easy to apply clinically, and low cost.

Authors: B. N. Narendrababu , S. Shishupala
Published: July 2023

Introduction and Aim: Metabolic flexibility of fungi is unique among organisms. Fungi can produce various pigments of industrial importance. Potential of Talaromyces ruber for beneficial pigments needs to be explored. Hence, the present study aims at the detection of pigments from T. ruber and determining their antimicrobial properties.
 
Materials and Methods: A soil isolate of T. ruber was tested for pigment production. Cellular and secretory pigments were extracted. They were separated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and detected by UV-Visible spectrophotometry. The antibacterial activities of crude pigments were tested by disc diffusion method. The antifungal activity was detected by disc diffusion method, conidial germination inhibition assay and bioautography methods.
 
Results: The results showed that cellular metabolites yielded seven pigment fractions and secretory metabolites yielded five different pigment fractions in TLC. In UV-Visible spectrometry, the absorption range of visible light with 370 to 412 nm detected yellow pigments and absorption of 500 to 520 nm detected red pigments. Crude cellular and secretory pigment fractions showed inhibition activity only on Bacillus subtilis. The antifungal activity of both crude cellular and secretory pigments was observed against Candida albicans and Cryptococcus sp. The secretory crude pigment showed conidial germination inhibition only against Alternaria tenuissima. In bioautography, the cellular and secretory crude pigments showed an inhibition zone for Cladosporium oxysporum. Additionally, secretory crude pigment showed similar activity against Curvularia lunata. Interestingly, the variations in the antifungals between cellular and secretory pigment fractions are also evident. Production of antimicrobial compounds from T. ruber was established after the detection of pigment fractions.
 
Conclusion: Potential of T. ruber to produce yellow and red pigments was realized. Antimicrobial pigments from T. ruber were detected providing scope to develop for industrial scale. These pigments may be used in pharmaceutical and nutritional industries.

Authors: Chaudhry Priya , Pandey Anita , Chaturvedi Priyanka , Sangita Km.
Published: July 2023

Introduction and aim: The emergence of Multidrug-resistant Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species is a therapeutic problem. Linezolid-resistant CoNS (LRCoNS) are on a significant rise, with a global prevalence of around 2%. The acquisition of cfr (chloramphenicol-florfenicol resistance) gene  is the commonest  mechanism leading to resistance. This study aimed to determine the molecular characterization of linezolid resistance in clinically significant isolates of Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CoNS).
 
Material and Methods: The 1061 clinical  isolates of CoNS were identified by standard bacteriological technique. Antibiotic sensitivity test was performed to determine the susceptibility to linezolid and those isolates with zone diameter 20 mm (linezolid screen positive) were further confirmed by the automated Vitek 2 compact system and MIC 8 microgram per mL was resistant . The cfr gene was detected in phenotypically confirmed LRCoNS.
 
Results: Resistant to Linezolid was seen in 2.5% of clinically important isolates of Coagulase Negative Staphylococci. The resistance was maximum in S.hemolyticus (70%), followed by S.cohnii (22.2%). Among the LRCoNS, the overall cfr gene was detected in 78% of isolates, predominantly in S.hemolyticus and S. cohnii. All the LRCoNs were also MRCoNS (methicillin resistance). However, all isolates were susceptible to glycopeptides.
 
Conclusion: There has been a surge of CoNS being reported from clinical samples with resistance to many important antimicrobials, including linezolid. The presence of cfr gene is the most common mechanism of resistance to linezolid. Early and correct identification of these isolates and adherence to infection control protocols will help for better clinical outcomes.

Authors: Ibrahim Suhael Aseel , Nazar Abdul-Razzaq Lana , M. Mahmood Majid
Published: July 2023

Introduction and Aim: Chronic kidney disease also referred as chronic renal disease is a condition in which there is a gradual loss of kidney function. End-stage renal failure (ESRD) is the final stage of the disease in which the kidneys cease to function, and the patient continues to depend on long-term dialysis. In this study we aimed to analyze the relationship between parathyroid hormone (PTH), electrolyte disturbances and vitamin D3 in ESRD patients and compare it to healthy individuals.
 
Materials and Methods: 100 outpatients (ages 30-70 years) from Al-Diwaniyah General Hospital and 49 healthy participants (ages 35-65 years) were investigated between July and October 2022.
 
Results: A significant increase in PTH concentrations was observed in the ESRD group 275.16 ± 224.03 pg/ml) when compared to the healthy group (44.42 ± 19.26 pg/ml). Similarly, phosphate concentrations differed significantly between ESRD patients and the healthy group (1.52 ± 0.53 vs. 1.04 ± 0.15 mmol/L, respectively).
A non-significant positive correlation was noticed between PTH and phosphate levels (p value = 0.068; r = 0.253). There was a significant (p-value 0.001) decrease in calcium levels between patients and healthy samples (2.06 ± 0.28 mmol/L vs. 2.36 ± 0.11, respectively), and a negative correlation (r = -0.536) between PTH and calcium levels. The vitamin D3 values showed no significant differences (p > 0.01), between ESRD patients and healthy subjects.
 
Conclusion: A positive correlation existed between serum PTH and phosphate levels in patients with ESRD. Hence these parameters could be monitored on a regular basis to ensure appropriate dietary and medical treatments.

PCOS also affects thyroid hormones, with multiple studies showing a link between autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and polycystic ovarian syndrome, although the exact pathophysiology of this interaction remains unknown. In this study the autoimmune thyroid indicators in women with PCOS were examined in order to demonstrate a link between polycystic ovarian syndrome and autoimmune thyroid disease.
 
Materials and Methods: The study included 85 polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients and 50 controls with similar ages. Thyroid autoantibodies (anti-thyroglobulin (Anti-Tg) and anti-peroxidase (anti-TPO), thyroid hormones (free thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) were determined in both study groups of women.
 
Results: In women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) the blood levels of anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (anti-TPO), antithyroglobulin antibody (anti-TG)) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were higher than women without PCOS. However, no difference was observed for free thyroxine (FT4) levels among PCOS and no PCOS women.
 
Conclusion: Thyroid dysfunction and thyroid autoimmunity was found to be linked in women with PCOS.
The digital era in dentistry: A review
Authors: Dhimole Rishika , Dhamande Mithilesh M. , Kambala Seema R. , Paul Madhu Priyanka
Published: July 2023

In dentistry precisely recording the soft tissue details and adjacent tooth morphology is a critical process. It is quite challenging for the dentist since the oral hard and soft tissue structures show great variations in every patient. Conventional impression materials such as agar, alginate and elastomeric impression materials are used but these impression materials require patient’s cooperation during impression taking. These impression materials sometimes cause gagging, irritation and unpleasant taste and smell to the patient. To overcome these drawbacks digital impression and digital scanners are encouraging innovations. They increase the patient’s comfort and aids in the accuracy in recording tissue details. The development of new technology in the medical and dental fields is leading to advancements that enable physicians to create treatments and materials that can enhance patients' quality of life. Different IOSs have adopted varied scanning methodologies, which could result in different scanning accuracies. This was done to compare the accuracy of several IOSs and the effects of different variables on the accuracy result. Using 3D scanning technologies, a physical model which is digital three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) is transformed. For the design and production of specific parts using additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, this digital output offers several advantages. It is crucial to evaluate the dentistry industry's present level of 3D scanning technology utilization.

Le capital technologique et accès aux métiers techniques des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) au Burkina Faso
Authors: Mahamadi Rouamba
Published: July 2023

There are few women in the technical occupations of Information and Communication Technologies in Burkina Faso. To understand and explain this phenomenon, which occurs in the professional environment, we thought it advisable to ask what women’s representation in the fields of study leading to technological occupations is. Here too, it is the same story: there are few girls. The household and other spheres of socialisation of young girls and boys then become the breeding grounds for identifying the factors that influence their choices in terms of fields of study, in particular that of ICTs. Our study findings show that the acquisition of technological capital is to blame. It is unequally held depending on gender, and boys are best equipped with it.

A previsão para o planeta aponta para mais mudanças climáticas, aumentando o desafio de combater doenças e pragas na agricultura. Há, portanto, a necessidade de maior precisão na captação dos elementos climáticos que impactam diretamente no desenvolvimento da planta e na intensidade da doença ou praga. Neste contexto, apresentamos um sistema de Internet das Coisas (IoT) para captura de dados climáticos cujo diferencial são sensores especificamente colocados no microclima da planta. O microclima é uma área relativamente pequena cujas condições atmosféricas diferem da zona exterior (ex: embaixo da copa de uma planta). Dessa forma, o estudo da dinâmica dos elementos climáticos envolvidos no desenvolvimento vegetal é viabilizado. Uma das aplicações será fornecer subsídios para prever a doença ou praga no futuro de modo a realizar um manejo preventivo e com menor uso de agrotóxicos.

There are three types of castes in honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colony: the queen, workers, and drones. Although they are all important to perpetuate the species, drones do not collaborate with tasks in the colony and their counting may overestimate the real number of foraging workers, individuals who really contribute to pollination services. So, monitoring, classifying, and counting the flow and proportion of workers and drones through the beehive entrance provide useful information related to the colony’s well-being. This has become possible thanks to the so-called Precision Beekeeeping, an emerging field of digital agriculture to gather and transfer bee-related data over time. Here, we propose ApisFlow, a real-time object-tracking framework for automatically detecting, tracking, classifying and counting the flow of honey bee castes at the hive entrance. ApisFlow uses computer vision and machine learning methods and algorithms. We strongly believe that ApisFlow allows bee counting, tracking, and classification in a less laborious, safe, fast, and accurate way to help beekeepers in making decisions saving time. Suggesting a high-precision algorithm with a mean error rate below 5%.

Authors: Minerbo Marion
Published: July 2023

A autora estuda o nascimento do Eu desempoderado em quatro etapas. Na primeira, apresenta o material clínico que será o eixo condutor da discussão, detendo-se na dinâmica intrapsíquica. Em seguida, dá voz à criança que a paciente pode ter sido para que descreva, em primeira pessoa, o modo de presença de seu objeto no vínculo precoce, numa abordagem intersubjetiva. Na terceira parte, mostra como esse modo de presença dificultou a conquista da separação sujeito-objeto e o desenvolvimento de sua autonomia, de seu empoderamento. E, por fim, aborda o trabalho clínico com pacientes que apresentam esse tipo de sofrimento: as principais características do campo transferencial-contratransferencial e algumas pinceladas sobre a estratégia terapêutica.
Medidas para Reciclagem do Lixo Familiar
Authors: Engelhard Suely
Published: July 2023

Este artigo visa trazer à discussão a questão das relações encobertas (segredos) e mal resolvidas dentro da família que geram energia tóxica e lixo relacional, contaminando o sistema e, consequentemente, tornando necessária sua reciclagem. No seio da célula familiar, local da formação inicial do homem, a reciclagem da energia tóxica resultante do lixo familiar é fundamental. Este mesmo princípio de reciclagem deve ser amplificado na consciência humana, levando o homem a se reconhecer responsável por sua integração e participação na humanidade. Explorando a importância da formação de uma eco-consciência familiar se tem a base para a instituição de uma eco-consciência planetária e cósmica. Esta amplificação em cada indivíduo, de ser um coparticipante responsável na construção da vida, despertará e fortalecerá o cuidado ecológico com o planeta e o cosmos. Seguindo este caminho o terapeuta de família auxiliará o sistema familiar a ressignificar como energia criativa os fatos que, enquanto permanecerem encobertos, são causa de sofrimento e sintoma.

Multiporphyrinic Arrays Containing Hydroporphyrins
Authors: Ptaszek Marcin
Published: January 2025

Hydroporphyrins are the synthetic or semisynthetic analogs of photosynthetic pigments. They retained the essential photophysical properties of their natural counterparts and therefore are valuable chromophores for numerous applications. Synthetic multichromophoric arrays containing hydroporphyrins have been utilized as models to mimic and study photophysical processes in natural photosynthesis, photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy, fluorophores for sensing and imaging, as well as components for solar energy conversion.

In this chapter, structure, synthesis, and properties of arrays containing at least two tetrapyrrolic subunits, among which at least one is a hydroporphyrin, are presented. Their photophysical properties and applications are also briefly discussed.

4‐Amino‐1,8‐Naphthalimides and Related Species
Authors: Kelly Lisa A.
Published: January 2025

The substitution of the aromatic core of 1,8‐naphthalene imides (
NIs
) with amines and other nitrogen‐rich species significantly alters their electronic properties. The class of compounds, herein called 4‐amino‐1,8‐naphthalene imides (
ANIs
), have found numerous applications as fluorescent sensors of polarity, anions, cations, and nucleic acids. In addition, the unique photoredox properties of blue‐light absorbing
ANIs
create a versatile set of initiators for photopolymerization and photoinduced protein or tissue cross‐linking. This chapter reviews both the synthetic strategies and photophysical properties of
ANIs
in the context of the inductive and steric properties of the 4‐amino substituent that govern the production and deactivation of the intramolecular charge‐transfer (
ICT
) state. The effects of mono‐ versus di‐alkylation on the 4‐amino nitrogen on both the solvent‐dependent photophysics and redox properties are also discussed. Though there is a large body of literature on the use of
ANIs
as fluorescent sensors, the implications of tuning the structure and environment of
ANIs
for specific photochemical outcomes, including photoredox‐initiated reactions, remain largely unexplored. Future opportunities to expand the scope of
ANI
photochemistry beyond sensor applications are discussed in this chapter.

Ammonia a by‐product of nitrogen containing molecules is detoxified by liver into non‐toxic urea and glutamine. Impaired ammonia detoxification leads to hyperammonemia. Ammonia has a dual role on autophagy, it acts as inducer at low concentrations and as inhibitor at high concentrations. However, little is known about the mechanisms responsible for this switch. Wnt/β‐catenin signalling is emerging for its role in the regulation of ammonia metabolizing enzymes and autophagosome synthesis through c‐Myc. Here, using Huh7 cell line, we show a modulation in c‐Myc expression under different ammonia concentrations. An increase in c‐Myc expression and in its transcriptional regulator β‐catenin was detected at low concentrations of ammonia, when autophagy is active, whereas these modifications were lost under high ammonia concentrations. These observations were also recapitulated in the livers of spf‐ash mice, a model of constitutive hyperammonaemia due to deficiency in ornithine transcarbamylase enzyme. Moreover, c‐Myc‐mediated activation of autophagy plays a cytoprotective role in cells under ammonia stress conditions as confirmed through the pharmacological inhibition of c‐Myc in Huh7 cells treated with low ammonia concentrations. In conclusion, the unravelled role of c‐Myc in modulating ammonia induced autophagy opens new landscapes for the development of novel strategies for the treatment of hyperammonemia.

Monitoring the structural health of composites during manufacturing and in‐service is desirable to alert against damage or deterioration of conditions beyond an acceptable level. Wireless sensors embedded into materials that can endure the forming and curing of carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer laminates will open the door to automated near‐field detection of key metrics such as temperature, strain, and manufacturing defects. Current sensing technologies are generally too intrusive and fragile to be reliably embedded into laminates or too expensive to be applied commercially. The development of embedded, low‐weight, small‐footprint sensors is reported here, and how these sensors can be used to monitor ply movement during the manufacturing process is demonstrated. These screen‐printed sensors consist of closed‐loop spiral coils excited externally with an AC magnetic field to generate a secondary field, which alerts on the change of relative position of each ply. This proof‐of‐concept work demonstrates how printed coil sensors can be fabricated to generate a high electromagnetic response, while minimizing their footprint in the laminate. It is determined that stacked silver coils, which are subsequently plated with copper to increase the conductance, are capable of producing signals that can be detected through over 3 mm of composite material.

As a proof‐of‐principle of their use in RF circuits, a completely edible passive inductor‐capacitor (LC) resonator at ≈200 MHz is demonstrated. The results significantly expand the applications of edible electronics to RF regime, supporting future developments in edible sensing and edible robotic systems, emerging fields with a high grade of sustainability.
