Authors: Fatima Ishrath Fatima , Nagapurkar Swati , Khan Amreen kausar
Published: December 2022

Background: Grand multiparous pregnancies have been considered to be at higher risk of developing antenatal and perinatal complications like pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, anemia, antepartum hemorrhages, preterm labor, mal-presentation, mal-position and feto-pelvic disproportion This study was done to know the magnitude of grand multipara attending the tertiary care center with possible complications related to high parity.

Objectives:To study the prevalence possible feto-maternal complications associated with grand multipara at rural setup. Methodology:Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in medical college of rural area for 12 months. Grand multipara with 5 or more deliveries before current pregnancy coming for antenatal checkup and delivery were enrolled. Antenatal history was recorded till delivery and feto-maternal outcomes were noted.

Results:Out of 1500 deliveries conducted during study period, 110 (7.5%) cases were grand multipara. Majority of them (79.5%) were Muslim and 80% were anaemic. 60% delivered with FTND, and 25.4% had emergency LSCS with one intrauterine death and a single breach delivery. Predominantly preeclampsia (23.6%) and malpresentation (14.5%) were diagnosed as antepartum complications. Almost one fifth of them had postpartum hemorrhage which was controlled with no mortality. 13 (11.8%) grand multipara women had still birth or early neonatal death, though fetal distress was observed in 37 cases. Conclusion: Grand multiparty is still a high-risk pregnancy associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes in our facility with multiple interrelated but mostly preventable causes.

Published: December 2022

Background: Thrombocytopenia is a frequent problem in neonatal sepsis and is among the most predictive, independent risk factors for sepsis-associated mortality. The present study was undertaken to correlate neonatal sepsis and thrombocytopenia in terms of severity, clinical course, organism specificity and outcome. Method:
Total 384 neonates age <28 days with sepsis and thrombocytopenia were studied and analyzed with their clinical profile, symptoms, lab findings and outcomes. Results: Male babies (55.86%), age <72 hrs (80.35%), preterm (68.70%) and LBW babies (85.58%) were more prone to sepsis. Maternal fever (67.44%), foul smelling liquor (53.79%) and PROM >18 hrs (66.74%) make babies more prone to neonatal sepsis. The Commonest clinical features were not accepting feed (69.95%), lethargy (67.85%) and breathing difficulty (79.04%). Early onset sepsis (82.54%) and probable sepsis (40.26%) were more common and associated with preterm and LBW babies. Leucocytosis was seen in 64.57%, thrombocytopenia moderate degree 45.67% and severe degree 34.65%, MPV >12 69.11%, ANC <1800 47.50%, micro ESR >15 mm 72.16% and CRP positivity 28.60%. Severe degree thrombocytopenia (<50000) was more common with PROM >18 hrs (83.02%), maternal fever (83.09%) and gram-negative organism(61.29%). Leucopenia (<4000) was more common with maternal fever (75.79%), proven sepsis (43.16%) and gram-negative organism (70.31%). Severe degree thrombocytopenia (61.29%), leucopenia (70.31%) and mortality (64.51%) were more commonly associated with gram-negative organism. Outcome was bad with severe degree of thrombocytopenia (62.32%), leucopenia (73.91%), and gram-negative organism (64.51%). Conclusion: Proper antenatal mother care, hygiene and early evaluation for illness can prevent early onset of sepsis in neonates. Severity of degree of thrombocytopenia directly proportional to the worst outcome.

Entropy Based Segmentation Model for Kidney Stone and Cyst on Ultrasound Image
Authors: George Mino , Hadadi Bhimasena Anita
Published: December 2022

Segmentation of abnormal masses in kidney images is a tough task. One of the main challenges is the presence of speckle noise, which will restrain the valuable information for the medical practitioners. Hence, the detection and segmentation of the affected regions vary in accuracies. The proposed model includes pre-processing and segmentation of the diseased region. The pre-processing consists of Gaussian filtering and Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLHE) to improve the clarity of the images. Further, segmentation has been done based on the entropy of the image and gamma correction has been done to improve the overall brightness of the images. An optimal global threshold value is selected to extract the region of interest and measures the area. The model is analyzed with statistical parameters like Jaccard index and Dice coefficient and compared with the ground truth images. To check the accuracy of the segmentation, relative error is calculated. This framework can be used by radiologists in diagnosing kidney patients

Authors: TAŞTAN Mehmet , UĞURAL Mehmet Nurettin
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study is to make a technological and financial forecast for the future construction of similar facilities based on feasibility data from the Istanbul Domestic Waste Incineration and Energy Production Facility, which was constructed to minimize environmental damage and give domestic solid wastes economic value, as opposed to storing and disposing of them. The study examined the initial investment and operating costs of the facility, the repayment time and profitability calculations, the financial and economic profitability of the project, and the cost and internal profitability rates for other waste disposal facilities to be established, in addition to comparisons with conventional waste management systems (storage or composting) and incineration techniques. By separating themselves as much as possible from conventional waste management systems, systems employing technological methods will be more realistic and cost-effective, both financially and in terms of the environment. To meet rising energy demands and lessen reliance on foreign sources, investments in sustainable renewable energy systems other than fossil fuels must be increased now. It is crucial to accelerate and support investments in environmentally friendly energy technologies through their development. This is the first study conducted in Turkey on obtaining energy by burning domestic solid waste as opposed to storing it.
Investigation Of The Conversion Procedures For Fossil Fuel Vehicles To Electric Vehicles In Turkey
Authors: TEZCAN Mehmet Murat , TAŞER Sümeyra
Published: December 2022

Globally, with the rapid growth of the population, the use of cars is also increasing. Although there is an increase in the use of electric vehicles, the vast majority of the vehicles used are internal combustion engine vehicles. Fossil fuel vehicles have disadvantages such as damaging the environment due to their high emission values, using non-renewable energy sources as fuel, high maintenance costs, and complex vehicle structures. Electric vehicles have many advantages such as being sensitive to the environment with a near-zero emission value, simple structures, low maintenance costs, and the use of renewable energy sources as fuel. Today, the reserve ratios of fossil fuels are rapidly depleting. Consumers tend to buy electric vehicles because of the environmental damage caused by fossil fuel vehicles due to the high emissions they emit, and because of the danger of depletion of non-renewable energy sources. The purchase of electric vehicles from the factory is difficult due to the few product varieties and the high prices in the market. It is possible for consumers to have electric vehicles with the features, colors, and models they want at much more affordable prices, by converting internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles. Each country has its own regulations for the conversion process. Transformation operations in our country are carried out in accordance with the Regulations of the Ministry of Science, Industry, and Technology. There are ready-made conversion kits of different brands on the market that contain the components necessary for the conversion of internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles. In this study, the advantages and disadvantages of internal combustion engine vehicles and electric vehicles, why conversion is necessary, and how conversion should be carried out will be discussed. Thanks to the conversion to an internal combustion engine, there will be a decrease in the emission of harmful gases to the environment, an economic contribution will be made to the country, and consumers will be able to have the vehicle they want at affordable prices.

“Além de surdo é bicha?” e, olhe a outra, “além de surda, sapatão!”: por uma historiografia de surdos gays e lésbicas a partir dos congressos da Rainbow Alliance of the Deaf
Authors: Silva Xavier Nascimento Gabriel , Raimundo Rodrigues José , Matos da Costa Vieira-Machado Lucyenne , Regina de Oliveira Martins Vanessa
Published: December 2022

Partindo da perspectiva da história como criadora de realidades, este artigo de cunho bibliográfico-documental tem como objetivo tensionar possibilidades de trazer à luz vivências de gays e lésbicas surdas apagadas na história. Para isso, recorremos a uma série documental composta pelos programas das convenções realizadas pela Rainbow Alliance of the Deaf no recorte de 1978-1989. Os programas sugerem o nascimento de um movimento norte-americano de gays e lésbicas surdos inicialmente visando a troca de experiências entre gerações e o fomento de amizades e que se desdobra em eventos de cunho político-social com vistas a promoção dos diretos humanos para surdos com ênfase na educação, saúde, cultura e afirmação identitária em relação a ser gay, lésbica e surdo. Revelam ainda uma forma de bioreexistência capaz de tensionar as próprias comunidades surdas e colocar em suspenso, padrões aos quais as comunidades surdas gays e lésbicas acabavam por ceder.

An Exploration of the Situation of Educational Technology Infrastructure in Sudanese General Education: A Case Study
Authors: Alamin Alnuaman
Published: December 2022

In the last two decades, policymakers have considered Educational Technology Infrastructure (ETI) as a prerequisite for the successful implementation of Educational Technology Policies (ETP). This study aims to measure the situation of ETI in Sudan and display its importance in supporting ETP. Content analysis is used to demonstrate how specific attention is paid by US, UK, and China toward ETI as a crucial element in their ETP implementation, and how several factors are then determined to assess the infrastructure in Sudan based on experiences that the US, China, and World Bank have obtained. These include policies towards ETI; electricity supply; schools or classrooms connected to the internet; the ratio of students to computers; internet speed; and availability of digital resources. Recent years have witnessed e-learning projects and digital resources under construction by the Sudanese National Center for Curricula and Educational Research (NCCER) and UNICEF, but Sudan still faces various ETI problems, including (1)  a lack of policy and vision towards ETI in Sudan; (2) Sudan’s ETI  challenge of being a developing economy; (3) a sizable population living in areas without electricity coverage; (4) a low ratio of student to computer usage in public high schools (merely about 28:1). We conclude with proposing several workable solutions for improving the current situation of ETI in Sudan.

Published: December 2022

La incorporación del enfoque por competencias en el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior ha supuesto un cambio en el paradigma educativo, pasando de modelos centrados en el profesorado a modelos centrados en el alumnado y en su propio proceso de aprendizaje. En este marco, “Aprender a aprender” es una de las competencias clave propuestas por la Comisión Europea para los sistemas educativos europeos. Esta competencia se encuentra vinculada con los procesos cognitivos y metacognitivos, la autorregulación, el aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida, la cohesión social y la sociedad del conocimiento. Su inclusión en los sistemas educativos necesita de un modelo teórico bien articulado e integrador. En este sentido, el objetivo de este trabajo es contrastar el modelo teórico elaborado por el equipo GIPU-EA, en torno a la articulación de la competencia “aprender a aprender”, atendiendo a la opinión de diferentes informantes clave, empleadores, de tres grandes áreas de conocimiento –Ciencias de la salud, Ciencias de la educación e Ingenierías– mediante el uso de la técnica de grupos focales. Los sujetos que participaron en los grupos focales respondieron a una pregunta abierta sobre la competencia “Aprender a aprender”. Sus intervenciones fueron transcritas y procesadas con el software Atlas.ti para llevar a cabo un análisis cualitativo de contenido. Los resultados obtenidos corroboraron la relevancia de las cinco dimensiones integrantes del modelo teórico: cognitiva, metacognitiva, afectiva-motivacional, social-relacional y ética.

205 erkek olmak üzere toplamda 500 evli birey oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak
Evlilik Uyumu Ölçeği, Çatışma Çözme Becerileri Ölçeği ve Sosyal Medya Bağımlılığı Ölçeği
kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli veri analizi için SPSS Statistic 25 paket programı ve
Jamovi paketinden faydalanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, Covid-19 dönemindeki evli bireylerin evlilik
uyum düzeyleri ve çatışma çözme becerileri arasındaki ilişkide sosyal medya bağımlılık düzeyinin aracı
bir role sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Evli bireylerin çatışma beceri düzeyleri ve sosyal medya bağımlılık
düzeyleri arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır. Çatışma çözme becerilerinin
doğrudan ve dolaylı olarak etki ettiği evlilik uyumunu düşürdüğü tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca sosyal medya
bağımlılık düzeyleri ile evlilik uyum düzeyleri arasında negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu
görülmüştür.

Published: December 2022

Introduction and Aim: T2DM being a most prevalent metabolic disorder globally and is mainly triggered by two important factors: decreased insulin secretion by pancreatic beta-cells and the defective insulin-sensitivity of tissues. Recent studies found that other factors influence insulin release are amino acids, fatty acids, incretins, certain neurotransmitters, and some of the pituitary hormones. Higher levels of peripheral serotonin in diabetic people have drawn attention to the involvement of metabolic homeostasis and cellular sensors. Thus, the aim of this study is to screen the association of tryptophan, serotonin, and insulin in T2DM.
Materials and Methods: Serum samples from T2DM patients (n=80) were divided into 2 groups depending on HbA1C levels having good to moderate (6.5-8) and poor (>8) glycemic control to study the levels of tryptophan, serotonin, and insulin.
 
Results: A boarderline statistically significant increase was observed in Serotonin levels in group 2 when compared with group 1. Statistical analysis showed a negative correlation between insulin and serotonin in group 1, whereas in group 2 a negative correlation has observed between HbA1C and insulin.
 
Conclusion: The study report shows an increase in serum serotonin levels with increase in insulin levels and hyperglycemia.

En 1935, el médico y neuroanatomista Joseph Klingler desarrollo la técnica para conservación del encéfalo humano para disección, mediante el uso de la fijación y congelamiento, técnica que actualmente lleva su nombre. El objetivo de este trabajo fue desarrollar un protocolo de conservación del sistema nervioso central, con fines de docencia y disección de fibras de sustancia blanca mediante la técnica de Klingler estandarizada en encefalos de bovino. Los encefalos fueron fijados y conservados con formaldehido al 10% por 4 meses. Posteriormente, fueron sometidos a inmersión en agua corriente por 24 horas, con la finalidad de evitar los efectos irritativos relacionados con la exposición continua a formaldehído. Enseguida, y con ayuda de unas pinzas de relojero de punta fina y tijeras de microdisección rectas se eliminaron los vasos sanguíneos, aracnoides y restos de sangre. Una vez disecados los elementos mencionados, cada uno de los encefalos fue colocado en una bolsa de polietileno con formaldehido al 10%, manteniéndolos durante 10 días a -18ºC. en un congelador horizontal, de la marca “Whirlpool®” Una vez transcurrido el tiempo de congelamiento, se retiraron las bolsas con los encefalos, dejando descongelar a temperatura ambiente durante 24 horas. Se logró desarrollar satisfactoriamente en el Anfiteatro de la Universidad Cuauhtémoc Plantel San Luis Potosí, México, un protocolo de conservación del sistema nervioso central mediante la técnica de Klingler estandarizada, obteniendo una excelente fijación de los encefalos de bovino, y una fragmentación adecuada de la corteza cerebral.
Emotion Classification of Voice Recordings Using Deep Learning
Authors:   Weizmann Institute of Science, Tumanyan Narek
Published: December 2022

In this work, we present methods for voice emotion classification using deep learning techniques. To processing audio signals, our method leverages spectral features of voice recordings, which are known to serve as powerful representations of temporal signals. To tackling the classification task, we consider two approaches to processing spectral features: as temporal signals and as spatial/2D signals. For each processing method, we use different neural network architectures that fit the approach. Classification results are analyzed and insights are presented.

Published: December 2022

Let D be a 2-strong digraph of order n ≥ 8 such that for every vertex x ∈ V(D)\{z}, d(x) ≥ n and d(z) ≥ n − 4, where z is a vertex in V(D). We prove that: If D contains a cycle passing through z of length equal to n − 2, then D is Hamiltonian. We also give a new sufficient condition for a digraph to be Hamiltonian-connected.
