The supply chain of humanitarian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) increasingly faces constant barriers to coordination. This study aims to examine how information technology can be used in the supply chain of the NGO humanitarian organizations in Jordan. A qualitative research design is used following case studies and interviews to help comprehend the situation within the humanitarian organizations in Jordan. It interviewed 16 humanitarian employees with at least five years in the subject discipline. It also used articles, documents, and books to help comprehend the nature of humanitarian firms and the strategies that can be used to overcome barriers that hinder the success of information sharing. The findings showed that there are barriers within the humanitarian organizations, but by implementing an information system, these can be resolved. Therefore, the proposed strategies include legal approaches and training to counter barriers to information sharing in humanitarian organizations. Furthermore, it contributes by highlighting the significance of information sharing within the humanitarian organization, which would assist in instigating successful supply chain procedures. Finally, it concludes the significance of information technologies in humanitarian logistics for effective disaster management.

Celosia cristata is one of the floricultural commodities which also beneficial as a medicinal plant. Mutation techniques can effectively increase the morphological diversity and biochemical content of C. cristata. Chronically induced mutation using ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) was first applied to C. cristata to increase morphological diversity and biochemical properties. This study proposes modifying the mutation induction technique that allows plant material to be exposed to a mutagen (a substance that causes mutations) for a long time, with minimum damage to genetic material and cell components. Thus, this modification method can produce more new plants with favorable traits for the breeding program. The present study aims to evaluate the morphological diversity and polyphenol content of C. cristata that emerge due to chronic mutation using EMS. C. cristata seeds were immersed in EMS solution which consisted of 4 treatment levels, namely: 0% (Control); 0.0278% for 6 hours; 0.00278% for 1 day; 0.000278% for 2 days. The polyphenol content analysis of C. cristata using the Folin-Ciocalteu method and analysis of the flavonoid content based on the colorimetric-AlCl3 method. The antioxidant activity of C. cristata was estimated through two assays, including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Chronic mutation induction using EMS was shown to affect the growth of C. cristata. In addition, changes in plant morphology such as intensity of anthocyanin coloration at the base, leaf shape, leaf color, and flower shape also occurred due to chronic mutations. Chronically induced mutation increased flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity, according to the FRAP method, of C. cristata. In summary, the chronic mutation method using EMS is promising to increase the morphological diversity and biochemical content of C. cristata. Henceforth, this method can be applied in breeding programs to produce new plants with desirable traits.

Published: July 2022

The article describes a new understanding of how to instill student leadership practice towards teamwork through co-curricular activities in secondary students. The Malaysian Education Development Plan (PPPM) 2013-2025 specifies that students should be able to lead and work in a team as students are the frontrunners in future leadership. The study method used was a quantitative survey using a questionnaire to identify student leadership practices and their relationship with student teamwork in Malaysia. The study respondents comprised 446 students selected through random group cluster sampling. The findings showed a significant relationship between student leadership practices and teamwork based on gender aspects. The results also showed a strong and significant positive relationship between student leadership practices and teamwork among respondents (r = .760, p < .01) and student leadership variance of 51.3% in teamwork (r²=.513, F=155.253) This study also showed that only two dimensions of student leadership practices namely ‘setting shared vision’ (β = .446, p < .01) and ‘setting motivating action’ (β = .186, p < .01) acted as the predictor of teamwork for students participating in co-curricular activities. New research results from this study proved that the practice of student leadership in co-curricular activities had improved teamwork skills, especially in developing student's leadership potential, and it can also attract students' interest in active involvement. The implication of this study is to provide students with leadership practice and teamwork skills as they are essential for future human models' marketability.

Irrigation as part of the water power management source is a dynamic system in society, especially depending on the environmental condition because various actors are involved, diverse usage across the different administrative areas and the various types of cultures. The condition is more aggravated with the existence subtraction of the available water source utilized as taking the main irrigation caused by changes climate, change of use land nor the other utilization like domestic needs. Water management, including water allocation, is a controversial environmental policy problem because heterogeneity-related interests with the source power together and increasing the level of conflict among the water use and the other users; because of that, the water supply is necessary to set just the right amount and time. The Irrigation Area of Rao's nursing home is located in the Panti District, Padang Gelugur District, South Rao District, and Rao District, which has a network of irrigation, gradually built starting from 1991. Therefore, the weir is expected to irrigate the Irrigation Area of Rao's nursing home, covering 8,300 ha, 5,800 ha on the right side and 2,500 ha on the left side. This paper aims to assess the allocation condition of the existing water in Rao's home dam. The methodology consists of analyzing and investigating the water balance method. The result shows that the availability of 80% reliable water on average of 11.97 m3/s which must consider the water needs of 20.22 m3/s show the lack of water throughout the year. By allocating the water for irrigation as a top priority after setting the water for maintenance of flow, the water for fisheries only fulfilled 48% of the total water needs of fish ponds.

Published: July 2022

The study aims to test three variables that are estimated to have powerful performances in sustainable destination management (SDM), i.e., destination management (DM), Panginyongan local culture (PLC), and sustainable tourism (ST). The perceptions of 300 respondents consisting of residents, visitors, private sector, academics, media, and government, were then analyzed with Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). As a result, DM is significant to ST; PLC is significant to ST; DM is not significant to SDM; PLC is significant for SDM; DM and PLC simultaneously with ST mediation are significant for SDM. The scope of implementation of this study's outcome is for the tourist area manager. The study's novelty is developing an SEM of SDM in the Baturraden tourist area through three variables, i.e., DM, PLC, and ST. The finding that DM is not significant to SDM, however, if applied simultaneously between DM and PLC and mediated by ST, will have a significant effect. In conclusion, some indicators that need to be improved encompass strengthening the function of the management body, the application of the CHSE protocol, the local community's sense of belonging to the local culture, zoning planning and monitoring of tourism activities, and stakeholder complicity in the management of tourist areas. The study's scientific contribution is that, if the two theories are linked, i.e., destination management and sustainable tourism, it will initiate the framework of sustainable destination management.

Published: July 2022

One of the ways to increase the service life or upgrade the concrete buildings is by strengthening and repairing techniques. There are many methods of strengthening, such as using slurry infiltration fiber-reinforced concrete (SIFCON). This study cast eight normal reinforced concrete beams of 100 × 150 × 1000 mm. Seven are pre-loaded to 60% of their ultimate load, and the eighth is loaded to its ultimate load. Six beams are repaired with fresh and precast SIFCON layers in different configurations (bottom and jacketing). However, for comparison reasons, two beams are repaired with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and steel fiber concrete. All beams are tested under a two-point flexural load. The parameters (ultimate load, ductility, toughness, stiffness, crack width, residual strength, and mode of failure) are investigated. The purpose of the study is to use a compatible cement-based material with new techniques for strengthening or repairing concrete members. The results showed that the new techniques significantly improved the behavior of the pre-loaded beams, and SIFCON layers (fresh or precast) could compensate for the failure in the steel reinforcement and be used as external reinforcement.

Published: July 2022

There is an intense debate on the effectiveness of the village fund program initiated by the Indonesian government. This paper examines the program's effectiveness in improving the quality of life and community well-being in rural areas from the villagers' perspective. Few studies have investigated the program's impacts from an individual perspective using primary data. Thus, this is the first study that analyzes the influence of the perceived management of the village fund program and community trust on community engagement and individuals' perceptions of the quality of life and community well-being. This study collected primary data by surveying 200 households in four sub-districts of the Lebak Regency in Banten Province in Indonesia. The survey data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS software. Results show that the perceived management of a village's funds directly affects the villagers' perception of quality of life and community well-being. The perceived village fund management also provides a significant path to community engagement. The paper concludes that the government should consider including the community in its village development program, thus increasing the residents' perceived quality of life and ensuring the program's success. This study contributes to the recent literature by providing new evidence about the impact of the village fund program on quality of life and community well-being using primary data at the household level.
THE ROLE OF ADAT FOREST AND ADAT LAW COMMUNITY IN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN INDONESIA
Authors: Widjaja Gunawan
Published: July 2022

The environment needs protection from destruction conducted by irresponsible people. Indonesia is a country full of many adat law communities. These communities usually live far from the big city. Most of them stay in a village near forests. The need for a modern living sometimes destroys the forest. The research aims to discuss adat forest in Indonesia and the role of adat law communities in protecting the environment surrounding the forest from damage and destruction after the promulgation of Law No. 11 of 2020 regarding Work Creation that amended the Law No. 41 of 1999 regarding Forestry and Law No. 32 of 2009 the Protection and Management of the Environment. The research is normative legal research that focuses on studying legal norms on environmental protection by creating adat forest within the adat law community. Secondary data are used in the research. The analysis will be conducted qualitatively. The findings showed that Law No. 11 of 2020 regarding Law Creation clearly defines and distinguishes the obligations of the Central Government, Provincial Government, and District Government/the Mayor of a City in providing the role of adat law community in environmental protection. This, however, has contributed to the role of the adat law community in protecting adat forest from an environmental point of view.

Published: July 2022

A neck tapered Helmholtz resonator possessing brilliant sound absorption in low-frequency is designed and demonstrated in this work. The strategy offers an extra geometrical degree of freedom, which will benefit perfect absorption. The structure can not only achieve perfect-absorption at 132 Hz across a deep subwavelength thickness of λ/50, but also realize adjustable perfect-absorption from 132 to 236 Hz with the same external shape. The effects of acoustic impedance and structural parameters have been comprehensively discussed for illustrating the structural advantages of sound absorption in low-frequency. Our results can pave a way for designing high-efficiency acoustic devices for sound absorption and impedance engineering.

We report on low resistivity (1.1 Ω cm) in p-type bulk doping of N-polar GaN grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. High nitrogen chemical potential growth, facilitated by high process supersaturation, was instrumental in reducing the incorporation of compensating oxygen as well as nitrogen-vacancy-related point defects. This was confirmed by photoluminescence studies and temperature-dependent Hall effect measurements. The suppressed compensation led to an order of magnitude improvement in p-type conductivity with the room-temperature hole concentration and mobility measuring 6 × 1017 cm−3 and 9 cm2 V−1 s−1, respectively. These results are paramount in the pathway towards N-polar GaN power and optoelectronic devices.

In caso di trust in cui sono stati conferiti beni immobili, il soggetto passivo dell’IMU è il trustee, al quale va notificato l’avviso di accertamento. Del tutto irrilevante è l’intervenuta sostituzione del trustee e il conseguente trasferimento del fondo in trust, in ordine alla responsabilità del pagamento dei tributi già sorti in precedenza che rimane un obbligo dell’ex trustee. Nella fase esecutiva, però, questi potrà eccepire condizioni che impediscono l’esecuzione nei suoi confronti.
I Registri dei titolari effettivi e le loro interazioni: dal D.M. 55 finalmente un chiarimento, in mezzo ad ancora tanta confusione
Authors: Valas Igor

Sunto
Il DMEF 55 in esame presta il fianco a notevoli criticità che difficilmente potranno esser risolte dai provvedimenti attuativi ancora pendenti e che molto probabilmente saranno tali da non portare alla luce i Registri a breve, certamente non nelle tempistiche previste e non in assenza di correttivi.
Certo è che il MEF ha posto un dato fisso ed indiscutibile andando – finalmente, sia lecito dirlo – quantomeno ad identificare dei punti fermi in merito al rapporto tra i Titolari effettivi delle persone giuridiche e quelli dei trust ed istituti affini.
Nonostante ciò, viene qui evidenziato non solo che la nozione di titolare effettivo per un trust è diversa da quella per la persona giuridica, ma anche che le stesse non sono tout court sovrapponibili, ma indipendenti ed autonome.

Published: July 2022

Kolestasis dapat disebabkan oleh gangguan fungsional hepatosit dalam sekresi empedu dan/atau karena obstruksi pada setiap tingkat jalur ekskresi empedu. Pada pasien thalassemia terjadi hemolisis kronis yang berakibat bilirubin tak terkonjugasi akan mengkristal dan akhirnya membentuk batu. Selanjutnya dapat terjadi penumpukan bilirubin disaluran empedu sehingga kemudian menyumbat dan terjadi gangguan pengeluaran bilirubin direk sehingga terjadi kolestasis. Kebaruan penelitian ini adalah meneliti kejadian kasus Thalassemia Mayor Dengan Kolestasis Ekstrhepatis Dan Kolelitiasis Pada Anak Perempuan 11 Tahun 9 Bulan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menggambarkan kejadian kolesatasis dan kolelitiasis yang terjadi akibat proses hemolisis pada thalassemia β mayor dengan keluhan utama nyeri perut dan ikterus pada seluruh tubuh. Pasien didiagnosis berdasarkan temuan laboratorium yakni peningkatan enzim transaminase, bilirubin direk dan pemeriksaan multislice computerized tomography abdomen dengan kontras. Tatalaksana pasien ini dilakukan endoscopy retrograde cholangiopancreatography dan asam ursodeoksilat disertai terapi thalassemia. Kesimpulan penelitian ini memiliki prognosis yang baik karena respon yang baik. Meskipun kolestasis jarang terjadi pada pasien thalassemia pada anak-anak, dokter anak harus menyadari hal ini dan pengobatan segera harus ditangani.Kata kunci: Thalassemia; Kolestasis ; Kolelitiasis. AbstractCholestasis can be caused by functional impairment of hepatocytes in bile secretion and/or by obstruction at any level of the bile excretory pathway. In patients with thalassemia, chronic hemolysis occurs, which results in unconjugated bilirubin crystallizing and eventually forming stones. Furthermore, there can be a buildup of bilirubin in the bile duct so that it clogs and interferes with the release of direct bilirubin, resulting in cholestasis. The novelty of this study is to examine the incidence of cases of Thalassemia Major with Cholestasis Extrhepatis and Cholelithiasis in 11 Years 9 Months Girls. The purpose of this study is to describe the incidence of cholestasis and cholelithiasis that occur due to the hemolysis process in thalassemia β major with the main complaints of abdominal pain and jaundice throughout the body. The patient was diagnosed based on laboratory findings, namely elevated transaminase enzymes, direct bilirubin, and multislice computerized tomography of the abdomen with contrast examination. The management of this patient was endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and ursodeoxylic acid, accompanied by thalassemia therapy. Conclusion of this research has a good prognosis because of the good response. Although cholestasis is rare in thalassemia in children, pediatricians should be aware of this and seek immediate treatment.

Published: July 2022

Event-related potentials (ERPs) are weak activities in electroencephalography (EEG) in response to different stimuli. Detecting these potentials is of great value for many diagnostic and practical purposes. However, this is rather hard because these signals have a low signal-to-noise ratio. In this work, we present a novel approach toward ERP detection based on the fact that this template has a smooth structure compared to background EEG. A generalized likelihood ratio test is adopted to realize our algorithm. The proposed method is investigated for ERP detection from real datasets, and it demonstrates to be very effective compared to conventional state-of-the-art methods.

Published: July 2022

In this manuscript, an innovative method for the detection and the estimation of multiple targets in a radar system employing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is illustrated. The core of this method is represented by a novel algorithm for the detection of multiple superimposed two-dimensional complex tones in the presence of noise and the for estimation of their parameters. This algorithm is based on a maximum likelihood approach and combines a single tone estimator with a serial cancellation procedure. Our numerical results lead to the conclusion that the developed method can achieve a substantially better accuracy-complexity trade-off than various related techniques in the presence of closely spaced targets.
ICD: VHR-oriented interactive change detection algorithm

Published: July 2022

 In recent years, deep learning has become the mainstream development direction in the change detection field, and its accuracy and speed have also reached a high level. However, the change detection method based on deep learning cannot predict all the change areas accurately, and its application is limited due to local prediction defects. For this reason, we propose an interactive change detection network (ICD) for very high resolution (VHR) based on a deep convolution neural network. The network integrates positive and negative click information in the distance layer of the change detection network, and users can correct the prediction defects by adding clicks. We carried out experiments on the open source dataset WHU and LEVIR-CD. By adding clicks, their F1-scores can reach 0.920 and 0.912, respectively, which are 4.3% and 4.2% higher than the original network. To better evaluate the correction ability of clicks, we propose a set of evaluation index—click correction ranges, which is suitable for evaluating clicks, and we carry out experiments on the above models. The results show that the method of adding clicks can effectively correct the prediction defects and improve the result accuracy. 
RIS-Assisted Hybrid Beamforming with Connected Autonomous User Vehicle Localization for Millimeter Wave MIMO Systems
Authors: Sarker Md Abdul Latif , Han Dong Seog
Published: July 2022

Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) have recently been investigated for intelligently reforming the blockage or mobility-aware wireless propagation environment as well as improving spectral efficiency and localization error performance. A blockage generally impacts the visual path of the millimeter wave (mmWave) channel and increases its signaling overhead. Thus, the system performance may suffer due to interruptions caused by static or mobile blockers, such as buildings, trees, vehicles or people. In this paper, we consider an RIS-assisted mmWave multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) channel model to overcome the blockage awareness problem. In order to solve the subarray rate maximization problem, we propose a conjugate gradient-based low-cost hybrid beamforming algorithm. Next, we consider a channel covariance splitting method and propose a double-step iterative algorithm to perform the localization error-probability of the user autonomous vehicle.  Finally, the simulation results show and verify the proposed algorithm in terms of the RIS-assisted equivalent channel for the mmWave vehicle-to-vehicle MIMO systems.
Low-Power VDBA based Grounded and Floating Memristor Emulators
Authors: Singh Ankur
Published: July 2022

This work proposes a grounded and floating memristor using a voltage differencing buffered amplifier and one grounded MOS-Cap. The proposed memristor emulator can be utilized in both decremental and incremental configurations by slightly modifying the circuits. The proposed memristor emulators are simpler in design than most of the available memristor emulator designs in the literature. In this study, the pinched hysteresis loops are maintained up to a 5 MHz frequency. The proposed circuit includes essential features such as low power consumption, no passive component usage, and utilizes a limited number of transistors. The performance analysis of the proposed memristor emulator is ascertained with GPDK 45nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor process technology in the Cadence Virtuoso tool and indicates more promising performance than previously introduced emulators. Moreover, this work investigates the usage of memristive components in diverse application domains, such as binary-weighted digital to analog converters, bandpass filters, and associative learning. Further, post-layout simulations and their detailed comparison with earlier designs are carried out, representing the merits of the proposed memristors.

Kant on the (self) determined and reflective subject
Authors: Perin Adriano , Herrera Noguera Mónica , Marcelo da Silva Ana Carolina
Published: July 2022

This paper aims at presenting the Kantian consideration of the subject regarding the possibility of his theoretical-scientific determination and his practical-moral self-determination as well as the problematization of the relationship of these determinations. Initially, in view of the argumentation that characterizes the subject in the 1st Edition of the Critique of Pure Reason, it is argued that such determination culminates in a subjectivist stance. Then, bearing in mind the characterization of the subject in the 2nd Edition of the Critique, it is argued that Kant structures a logical approach to the subject that enables the justification of his (self) determination. It is taken into consideration, afterwards, Kant's attempts to prove the relationship of these determinations and the result, attested in the Critique of Practical Reason, of his self-sufficiency. Finally, regarding the Critique of the Power of Judgment, the systematic outcome of the approach to the relationship of these determinations in the context of reflection is considered. The conclusion reached is that, aiming at the possibility of justifying scientific knowledge and ethical acting, the Kantian theory limits the characterization of the subject to a logical approach and, therefore, that this limitation does not allow - whether in the domains of knowledge and moral acting, or in the sphere of reflection – an objectively valid philosophical proof of its necessary relationship to be established.

O Agente Comunitário de Saúde (ACS), é um profissional inserido em equipes multidisciplinares do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), atuando na linha de frente no combate ao Sars-Cov-02, causador da Covid-19. O artigo busca evidências da educação não formal de ACS, ao analisar um recorte da produção brasileira de março a julho de 2020, voltada para o ensino não formal (enfrentamento ao novo Coronavírus), e rodas de conversa com ACS em Unidades de Saúde de uma pequena cidade do interior do Brasil, buscando elos entre a produção investigada e possíveis aprendizagens adquiridas por esses profissionais na transpandemia. Os resultados evidenciaram a educação não formal do ACS e importantes legados dessa educação para suas práticas comunitárias em saúde.

A escolha da metodologia utilizada nas aulas, principalmente do ensino fundamental, é de grande importância para despertar o interesse do aluno pela aprendizagem. A construção de um cenário-problema que favoreça a investigação e a participação crítica dos alunos é uma etapa importante a ser realizada na metodologia Aprendizagem Baseada na Resolução de Problemas (ABRP) para o ensino de Ciências. Neste trabalho, de abordagem qualitativa, apresentamos a análise da aplicação de um instrumento de validação, construído com temática socioambiental, que foi preenchido por 15 professores a respeito do planejamento da ABRP intitulada “Parque Urbano Sítio Batalha: Você já ouviu falar?”. Após a análise dos dados, algumas adequações foram feitas no planejamento. O resultado da validação mostra que a proposta de planejamento da ABRP é adequada para os objetivos programados, como a interdisciplinaridade e a implementação da ABRP na sala de aula do ensino fundamental.

Este texto tem como objetivo traçar alguns aspectos históricos do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação em Ciências e Matemática (Educimat), que foi inaugurado 2011, no campus Vitória do Instituto Federal de Educação. Este texto é fruto de uma pesquisa documental que foi elaborada para ser incluído no relatório de dados do Coleta CAPES do quadriênio 2016 – 2020. O texto original recebeu adaptações destacando elementos para um registro histórico. Relata a trajetória do Educimat desde a primeira turma do curso de mestrado profissional em educação em ciências e matemática até a seleção da primeira turma do doutorado que foi inaugurado em 2021. Conclui afirmando que o Programa é fruto de uma política pública, abraçada por pessoas que acreditaram naquela proposta inovadora. E que, em tempos bem diferentes daquele onde o programa foi inaugurado, é preciso resistência coletiva para manter as conquistas e avançar sem perder o espírito original de uma educação emancipadora.

O objetivo principal deste estudo fundamenta-se em identificar a auto percepção de uma turma de estudantes no tocante à temática do aprender a aprender. A turma escolhida encontra-se matriculada no 3º ano do Curso Técnico de Eventos integrado ao ensino médio do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Tocantins, Câmpus Palmas. A princípio, ao se trabalhar com projetos busca-se a junção da prática à teoria por meio da identificação de um problema e a partir deste buscam-se soluções tendo por base a realidade em que estão inseridas. Assim, após uma palestra expositiva e dialogada, as participantes foram convidadas a refletirem tanto sobre a aprendizagem de elaboração de projetos quanto sobre autonomia e em seguida solicitou-se o fornecimento de informações acerca de seus pontos de vista por meio de um questionário estruturado de acordo com determinados princípios de aprendizagem. Quanto à abordagem, este estudo configura-se em uma pesquisa quantitativa, que por sua vez utilizou como instrumentos para coleta de dados a pesquisa bibliográfica fundamentada em livros, periódicos científicos indexados e a aplicação de questionário. Como resultado aponta-se que as participantes, em sua maioria, se sentem responsáveis pelos seus processos de aprendizagens e exercitam a autocrítica e autoavaliação. Por outro lado, uma amostra de 04 no universo de 17 participantes esboçou a inevitabilidade de serem constantemente orientadas pelos professores, o que comprova certa dependência e a necessidade gradual de estímulos para que a aprendizagem seja autônoma.

Heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease (CVD), is the foremost among all widespread diseases in the people community. Any disorder that affects the heart's function is typically called heart disease. Narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart, is the most common cause of heart failure. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a common form of heart disease and the leading cause of heart attacks. Nowadays, there is no age limit for people to get affected by this disease. There are so many diagnosis methods available where most are costly, the risk involved, and technical experts are needed to perform the disease diagnosis. Clinical research has pointed out different factors that increase the risk of CAD and heart attack. These factors can be categorized into two types, i.e., risk factors that cannot be changed and those that can be changed. Sex, age and family history are those factors that cannot be altered. In contrast, factors related to a subject's lifestyle, e.g., smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and physical inactivity, can be changed. This paper reviews various deep learning techniques involving heart disease prognostic and their accuracy in predicting that they can be treated in advance to prevent fatalities.

Objective:  Pituitary lesions cause morbidity and mortality in all age groups due to their hormonal hypersecretion, its mass effects, and post-surgery complications. The present study determined the frequency of functional and non-functional pituitary adenomas.

Materials & Methods:  The study included patients (n = 114) presenting with functional and non-functional pituitary adenoma. Pituitary adenomas were diagnosed based on MRI brain with contrast and the size of the tumor was noted a tumor having a size of 10 mm or more was labeled as macro adenoma and a tumor having a size less than 10 mm was labeled as microadenoma. Pituitary adenomas were stratified among age, gender, duration of symptoms, types of adenomas, types of functional adenoma, and type of the tumor on a size basis.

Results:  Most of the patients had TSH- secreting adenoma (21.9%). 52.6% were found with microadenoma and 47.4% had macro adenoma. Patients with functional adenoma were 30.7% and with non-functional adenoma 32.5% were male while patients with functional adenoma were 26.3% and with non-functional adenoma 10.5%were female (p = 0.018). Patients with functional adenoma (43.9%) and non-functional adenoma (8.8%) were found to have microadenoma, whereas patients with functional adenoma (13.2%) and non-functional adenoma (34.2%) were found to have macroadenoma (p = 0.000). Patients with functional adenoma having a duration of symptoms below 1 year were 11 (9.6%), 1 to 3 years were 25 (21.9%), 17 (14.9%) were 4 to 6 years, and 12 (10.5%) above 6 years duration of symptoms.

Conclusion:  Patients with pituitary adenomas should be diagnosed early to receive successful therapy.
