Published: March 2024

The study aims to determine the impact of news sentiment during COVID-19 and the nexus between the NYSE, Gold prices, and WTI oil prices. For this purpose, we use hourly data of news sentiment and commodity prices hourly data from February 10, 2020, hours 1000 to March 06, 2020 hours 1600 hours, with the help of a multilayer artificial neural network. Further, We use the connection weight approach to observe the relative importance of input variables that help predict output variables. The results suggest that all the indexes are interconnected, where the increase/decrease of any index impacts the other commodity index. Further, the news index remains the second highest predictor for gold price and WTI oil price indexes. In addition, the news index also seems to be an essential predictor of these commodities.

Published: March 2024

Tanah lempung adalah salah satu jenis tanah yang memiliki sifat lunak dan terdiri dari butiran halus

yang cenderung mengalami perubahan volume, dimana saat terkena air akan mengembang sesuai

dengan jumlah air yang diserap, namun saat mengering akan menyusut kembali. Terutama tanah dengan

kandungan lempung yang tinggi memiliki daya dukung yang rendah, sehingga perlu diperkuat melalui

proses stabilisasi tanah. Metode yang dilakukan adalah stabilisasi tanah lempung menggunakan zat

aditif ISS (Ionic Soil Stabilizer) BTI-20. Ekperimen yang dilakukan dengan menyiapkan sampel tanah

dan zat aditif BTI-20, yang akan dicampur sebanyak 10% dari berat tanah kering. Selanjutnya akan

membandingkan nilai UCT dan CBR tanah lempung yang belum dicampurkan zat aditif BTI-20 yang

nantinya sebagai control dengan nilai UCT dan CBR tanah lempung yang sudah dicampur zat aditif

BTI-20 sebagai kelompok eksperimen. Pengujian UCT dengan penambahan zat aditif memiliki

pengaruh peningkatan terhadap nilai qu dan Cu dikarnakan sifat dari zat aditif mengikat atau mencegah

kadar air keluar atau masuk ke dalam pori tanah. Pengujian CBR dengan penambahan zat aditif 001

tidak memiliki terlalu banyak pengaruh peningkatan terhadap nilai CBR dari tanah dengan kondisi tak

terganggu. Dari pengujian yang dilakukan didapat nilai CBR paling tinggi soaked dan unsoaked sebesar

16,67% untuk waktu curing 3 hari dan mengalami penurunan pada waktu curing 7 hari dengan nilai

Authors: Günay Yavuz Uğur , Ceylani Mehmet Uluç
Published: March 2024

The use of social media tools with a visual interface has become an integral part of daily life. This has resulted in the rise of selfies, which are personal photographs posted on social media platforms. Instagram is one of the social media platforms where images or selfies from daily life are shared. The authenticity or reality of the personalities, selves and lives portrayed on social media platforms such as Instagram, especially through selfies, has brought about various debates. At the same time, the use of social media in art as a subject or medium due to such features adds a different dimension to this situation. The potential of an artistic project to manipulate reality through selfie photographs reveals the importance of this study. Based on this point, this study aims to question how real the selves and lives presented on social media platforms are, especially in the case of Instagram, one of the most popular social media channels. Two projects produced with two different artistic concerns that allow this were selected as a sample. Among the social media platforms, Amelia Ulman's Excellences and Perfection Project, which highlights the social domination of the female body through the posts made on her Instagram account, and the profile posts opened in the name of Abdou Diouf, which tells the story of a migrant's journey of hope from Africa to Spain, which was created for the promotional film of the Getxophoto Photography Festival. In this research, which is based on the discourses of Jean Baudrillard, Erving Goofman and Hal Niedzviecki together with the samples, it has been found that social media transforms the identities that individuals create or want to create in the online environment into hyperreality by going beyond rational reality.

Authors: Karaşahinoğlu Şadi , Dönmez Ahmet
Published: March 2024

Animated series for television have a long history. The first animation experiments began with short cartoons produced for the cinema in the 1920s and 1930s. However, it took a little longer for animation to become widespread and popular in the television environment. The 1950s and 1960s were the periods when animation became widespread on the television platform as television entered homes. During this period, Walt Disney, Warner Bros. Studios such as Hanna-Barbera and Hanna-Barbera began to present various animated series to television audiences; Especially the series produced by the Hanna-Barbera studio attracted great attention from television viewers, and many classic productions appeared during this period. It is also seen that the first visual identity designs for animation series were produced during this process. Visual identity has the power to leave a lasting impact on popular culture and is thought to play a key role in the success of animated series. From this perspective, research constitutes an important issue. Within the scope of the limitations of the study, only milestone animation series produced in the United States were discussed, and the aim was to analyze samples and convey expert opinions within the framework of the descriptive analysis method. Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1995), which constitutes the sample of the research, was examined in terms of visual identity elements such as logo, typography, episode covers, and color palette. It has been concluded that visual identity elements are also important in the branding process of animation series, in addition to technical details such as story, scenario, fiction and graphics; In addition, it is aimed to create a Turkish resource for relevant stakeholders.

É pelas atividades de extensão que as instituições de ensino superior apresentam efetivamente suas contribuições com o meio social externo, ofertando conhecimento e assistência à comunidade em geral. Logo, o objetivo deste estudo é compreender o papel da extensão como possível instrumento de desenvolvimento local mediado pelos Centros Universitários Municipais do Estado de São Paulo. Para tanto, procede-se a metodologia de revisão de literatura sobre o tema e de um estudo exploratório acerca da gestão da extensão universitária, com aplicação de entrevista em profundidade para os 4 pró-reitores dos referidos Centros Universitários. Por meio da experiência e dos conhecimentos produzidos e acumulados, ocorre o desenvolvimento de uma formação compromissada com as demandas, regionais e locais, em uma associação entre o conhecimento científico e o popular. Por estas ações é possível romper com trabalhos pontuais e fragmentados, a fim de estruturar atividades contínuas e com participação direta da comunidade acadêmica e dos moradores das comunidades no seu planejamento e organização. Todavia, há que se vislumbrar que os resultados também revelaram grandes contribuições dos centros junto aos múltiplos segmentos da sociedade atendidos, mas os avanços ainda acontecem em passos lentos. O que permite concluir que a falta de fomento direcionado à extensão por parte destas instituições ainda se destacou como um dos dificultadores à realização de novas ações efetivas, contrariando a esperada relação transformadora entre a universidade e a sociedade, de forma a provocar a democratização do ensino e o desenvolvimento humano, social e local das comunidades à qual estão inseridas.

Pesquisas acadêmicas sobre Inteligência Artificial (IA) ainda são incipientes nas pesquisas em Turismo realizadas no Brasil. A literatura científica de Turismo identifica a difusão do uso da IA em diversas aplicações de mercado, como para a previsão de demanda, análise de Big Data, automação e robótica na hotelaria. No entanto, o uso da IA para pesquisa científica em Turismo é um tema pouco explorado de acordo com as buscas realizadas no Portal de Periódicos da Capes que reúne as bases de dados para o Turismo. O objetivo do estudo é compreender o que representa o uso da IA para pesquisa científica investigando a percepção de discentes de programas de pós-graduação em Turismo em nível de doutorado. Metodologicamente, constitui-se um estudo de natureza qualitativa com suporte na pesquisa empírica, em que se realizou 31 entrevistas estruturadas com pós-graduandos em eventos acadêmicos e remotamente, respaldado pela análise de conteúdo. Utilizou-se o método de amostragem não-probabilístico bola de neve considerando o alcance de saturação dos dados como critério. Os resultados ratificam os benefícios de estímulo da criatividade e da imaginação, e economia de tempo e esforço em investigações científicas, identificam as principais ferramentas utilizadas para pesquisa, demonstram sugestões para o uso ético e responsável da IA na pesquisa. e evidenciam que a pesquisa científica é uma das áreas mais sensíveis para a adoção da IA, em que critério e rigor são indispensáveis. Evidenciou-se o fator apreensão em relação à academia sobre o uso ético e responsável desses mecanismos, além da incipiência de debate científico no campo do Turismo e regulamentação sobre o tema. Sugere-se que estudos futuros mapeiem as implicações legais do uso da IA em pesquisas e expandam a pesquisa com pós-graduandos dos Estados Unidos e Europa a fim de comparar o nível de uso dessas ferramentas em relação ao Brasil.

Given its recent classification and potential to prevent the onset of CC, it is imperative to study its awareness among Oncology Health Care Providers in India. Aim: To assess the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) of diagnosing and managing CC in a group of oncologists and Onco-physiotherapists in India. Materials and Methods: This was a survey-based crosssectional study. The surveys were disseminated through various Indian Oncology professional organisation bodies in the country via emails from May 2020 to April 2021. Two survey questionnaires were formulated and validated based on a literature review and input from experts in the field. A total of 64 oncologists with an average of 11.96±8.49 years of experience and 53 physiotherapists with an average of 3.86±4.89 years of experience participated in the survey. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics. Results: In the knowledge domain, oncologists considered muscle wasting (37, 58%), weight loss (36, 57%), and loss of appetite (18, 14%) as the most accurate determinants of CC, and Onco-physiotherapists considered weight loss (18, 34%), muscle wasting (16, 30%), and loss of appetite (11, 21%) as the most accurate determinants. In the attitude domain of both surveys, nutritional therapy was considered an extremely important treatment. In the practice domain, the results showed that the majority of Oncologists (25, 39%) would initiate treatment at a weight loss of >5% when the stage of cachexia or refractory cachexia may have set in, while Oncophysiotherapists (23, 43%) would do so at 5%. Conclusion: These surveys suggest a knowledge-to-action gap and highlight the need for increased awareness about CC among cancer healthcare providers for optimal patient care.

Authors: Dsouza Renisha Divina , Raghuraj U , Shetty Shashi Kumar
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Tobacco smoking is a common addiction in our society. The toxic chemical compounds present in tobacco smoke cause epithelial damage and inflammation of the airways. Chronic smoking results in the thickening of the pulmonary arterial wall and vasoconstriction, leading to the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Hence, measurement of pulmonary artery diameter using Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) may be helpful in the early detection of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Aim: To compare the diameters of the Main Pulmonary Artery (MPA), Right Pulmonary Artery (RPA), and Left Pulmonary Artery (LPA) using CECT thorax in smokers and non-smokers. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2021 to March 2022 in the department of radiodiagnosis, KS Hegde Hospital, Karnataka, India, consisting of 100 patients referred for CECT thorax in the age group of 18-85 years. They were divided into two groups: smokers and non-smokers, with 50 patients in each group. They were further categorised into three age groups: < 50 years, 50-60 years, and >60 years. The widest diameters of the MPA were measured at the level of bifurcation of the artery and perpendicular to the long axis of the artery. At this level, RPA and LPA diameters were measured at the widest portion on 1.25 mm axial images of the arterial phase. Variation in the pulmonary artery diameter was compared between smokers and non-smokers with respect to age and analysed by unpaired t-test and Pearson correlation. Results: Diameters of MPA, RPA, and LPA were statistically significant (p<0.05) in smokers compared to non-smokers. In smokers, MPA and RPA diameters correlated with age, which was statistically significant (p<0.05). No significant correlation (p>0.05) was shown between age and MPA, RPA, and LPA diameter in non-smokers. The mean MPA diameter showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in all three age groups. Conclusion: The diameter of the pulmonary artery is statistically significant in smokers compared to non-smokers. Hence, assessment of pulmonary artery diameters among smokers using CECT thorax will help to diagnose Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) at an early stage.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: Chest wall neoplasms encompass primary, locally invasive, and metastatic tumours. Malignant chest wall tumours are typically uncommon, comprising roughly 5% of all thoracic neoplasms and 1 to 2% of all primary tumours. This systematic review addresses the imperative need for a comprehensive analysis of chest wall resection, focusing on indications, reconstruction techniques, and outcomes, to provide clinicians with evidence-based guidelines for optimal patient management. Aim: To comprehensively review indications for chest wall resection, explore reconstruction techniques, and analyse complications and outcomes associated with the procedure. Materials and Methods: A thorough electronic database search was performed on PUBMED Central, MeSH, NLM Catalog, Bookshelf, and PUBMED utilising the search terms “Chest wall,” “Chest wall Resection,” and “Chest wall Reconstruction.” Fulltext articles published in English within a 20-year period (from 1999 to 2020) were selected based on pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria and subjected to analysis as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for systematic reviews. Results: In total, 24 full-text records met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and underwent critical analysis for this systematic review. Chest wall sarcomas emerged as the primary indication for chest wall resection in the present study, with recurrent or locally advanced breast carcinoma also noted as significant causes. Various artificial soft meshes, notably Marlex or Goretex, were commonly employed for reconstruction, while soft-tissue coverage was achieved through various myocutaneous flaps, both pedicled and free. Respiratory complications predominated among the observed complications, with wound-related issues also documented. Conclusion: Patient selection is paramount in chest wall reconstruction, with the ideal method still under debate. However, prioritising minimal patient morbidity during reconstruction is crucial. Adherence to these principles can lead to better outcomes in terms of complications, survival, and quality of life, especially in appropriately selected patients.

Authors: Abdu Noshin N , Backar Shaheela
Published: March 2024

Darier’s disease is an infrequently encountered autosomal dominant condition characterised by complete penetrance but variable expression. It is characterised by abnormal keratinisation and epidermal adhesion deficiency, clinically presenting as greasy keratotic or warty papules and plaques, primarily affecting seborrheic regions and flexures. Additional manifestations include palmar pits, nail abnormalities, cobble-stoning of the oral mucosa, and even neuro-psychiatric issues. In extremely rare cases, mucosal involvement can occur in the oral, laryngeal, Oesophageal, or rectal areas. Familial Darier’s disease typically emerges during puberty. Here, the authors present a unique case of 55 years old male patient of Darier’s disease with delayed onset, despite a significant family history of the condition. The clinico-pathological aspects, highlighting the presence of palmo-plantar keratoderma are also discussed. Treatment included the application of topical hydrocortisone 1% cream twice daily for two weeks, then once daily for two weeks along with dexpanthenol once daily for eight weeks.

Authors: Sivaji Akshaya Rathin , Scaria Tony Kizhakkemuriyil
Published: March 2024

Alien Hand Syndrome (AHS) is a rare condition characterised by involuntary hand movements occurring without the patient’s intention. While AHS has various causes, it is frequently associated with ischemic stroke, post-corpus callosotomy, degenerative conditions, and has more recently been observed in cortico-basal degeneration. This case report highlights a 62-year-old male patient experiencing involuntary movement in his right hand three days after admission with an ischemic stroke involving the left fronto-parietal lobe and corpus callosum. The predominant symptoms included compulsive groping, inter-manual conflict, and hemi-anaesthesia in his right hand. The callosal subtype arises from corpus callosum damage and often involves inter-manual conflict. However, callosal infarction is uncommon due to the abundant blood supply. This case report describes a case of AHS caused by callosal infarction, confirmed through magnetic resonance imaging, specifically showing infarction in the left corpus callosum. The patient exhibited symptoms consistent with the anterior variant based on radiographic findings. However, features of the posterior variant were also observed.

The study investigates the energy use pattern and economic analysis of fluted pumpkin production in tillage methods (traditional, reduced-conventional and conventional). Human power, machinery, diesel fuel, fertilizers, seed and pesticides energy inputs were used during the cultivation of fluted pumpkin. Input and output energy analysis method was used to estimate the input and output energy in each of the tillage methods during the production of fluted pumpkin. The energy indices of fluted pumpkin production determined were; energy efficiency, energy productivity, specific energy, net energy and energy efficiency index. The economic analysis of fluted pumpkin production in terms of total cost of production, gross monetary return, net monetary return and cost benefit ratio for the three tillage methods used were determined. The total energy required per hectare in traditional, reduced-conventional and conventional tillage methods were 6899.90, 9206.16 and 10176.84 MJ/ha, while the output energy were found to be 8912.48, 12297.8 and 12297.8 MJ/ha, respectively. The energy efficiency, energy productivity and net energy gain of 3.97, 1.50 and 1.20; 0.76, 0.86 and 0.71 MJ/kg; 1.32, 1.20 and 1.40 MJ/ha, respectively were estimated while energy efficiency index were found to be 27, 47 and 20% for traditional, reduced-conventional and conventional tillage methods, respectively. The highest net monetary return and cost benefit ratio of ₦382,000.00k and 3.05 were estimated for reduced-conventional, ₦351, 600.00 k and 2.31 for conventional tillage, while the least values of ₦220, 000.00 k and 2.11 were recorded for traditional tillage method. The result revealed that reduced-conventional tillage was better than both traditional and conventional tillage methods in terms of energy productivity, net energy gain and energy efficiency index. Economically, production of fluted pumpkin under reduced-conventional tillage shows the highest net monetary return and cost benefit ratio compared to the other two tillage methods considered.

The objective of the present investigation was to assess the performance of two hybrid rice varieties namely, JRH-5 and JRH-19 under irrigated ecosystem by conducting Frontline demonstrations (FLDs) in three consecutive kharif seasons of the year 2016, 2017, and 2018, in the farmer's fields located in the agro climatic zone of the Chhattisgarh plains. The FLDs were carried out using scientific package and practices of rice. The yield and economic data of the plots compared with the existing farmer practices and variety-MTU-1010 revealed that the FLDs with hybrid rice varieties JRH-19 and JRH-5 performed better. With the enhanced production technologies in FLDs with JRH-5 and JRH-19 and with only an additional input cost of Rs. 2742/ha, the mean grain yield increased by 28.21% over current farmer practices. The average extension gap (12.27 q/ha) and average IBCR (6.14) were high enough to encourage farmers to use the introduced rice production technology with the hybrids JRH-5 and JRH-19.
