In this study, we aimed to estimate the association between the rs9939609 FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) polymorphism and a risk of overweight in children living in the Baikal region. We performed a case – control study that included 113 schoolchildren living in industrial centers of the Baikal region (Irkutsk, Angarsk, and Ulan-Ude). Anthropometric parameters were measured and body mass index was calculated with its values being ranked in accordance with the WHO BMI curves depending on a sex and age. Genotyping of the rs9939609 FTO polymorphism was performed by allele-specific amplification with real-time results detection. To assess likelihood of an association between the FTO gene allele and overweight and obesity, relative risk (RR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) were calculated. The assessment revealed the A allele of the rs9939609 FTO polymorphism to be by 1.29 times more frequent in the examined children with overweight and obesity (48.44 %) than in the children form the reference group (37.65 %). The FTO rs9939609 polymorphism was authentically associated with likelihood of elevated risks of overweight and obesity in children with the homozygous AA genotype (RR = 2.806, 95 % CI: 1.650–4.772; STD = 0.271). Our study confirms that the rs9939609 polymorphism of the FTO gene is a risk factor of overweight and obesity for children from the Baikal region who have the A allele of the homozygous AA genotype. Prevailing frequency of the TT genotype (29.2 %) as compared with the AA genotype (10.62) is likely due to influence of assimilation processes on urbanized territories in the Baikal region.

The purpose of this work is to investigate dependence of the seasonal dynamics of HS (hemorrhagic strokes) and IS (ischemic strokes) risk on sex and age using meta-analysis. In total, 22 publications were selected for this meta-analysis, studying the seasonal dynamics of HS, of which 8 publications presented statistics separately for men and women, and three papers presented statistics for different age groups. Also, 28 publications studying the seasonal dynamics of IS were selected for meta-analysis, of which 11 publications presented statistics separately for men and women, and three papers presented statistics for different age groups. The meta-analysis of the seasonal dynamics of HS showed that HS risk is less likely in a warmer season compared with a colder one. In men, HS risk was the highest in winter and spring, and in women in winter. Dependence between HS risk and a decrease in air temperature was the same in men and women. According to the results of the meta-analysis (without regard to sex and age), the minimum probability of IS occurs in autumn. In women, IS risk was significantly higher in winter compared to other seasons. In men, the seasonal dynamics of IS was not expressed. In older people, the overall risk of stroke increased, especially IS. In people over 65 years of age, there was a significant dependence of an increase in HS risk on a decrease in air temperature. In people younger than 65 years, HS risk was not associated with cold. A decrease in temperature equally increased IS risk in both age groups. These results suggest that sex and age may influence the seasonal stroke risk.
Effect of Continued Midwifery Support in Labor on Childbirth Experience
and Self-esteem of Primipara Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Soleimani Nasrin , Refaei Mansoureh , Kazemi Farideh
Published: May 2023

Introduction:

During labor and delivery, mothers should be supported by people who give them comfort. The present study aims to determine the effect of continued midwifery support in labor on the childbirth experience and self-esteem of nulliparous women 6 weeks after childbirth.

Methods:

This randomized controlled trial was performed in 2021 on 70 pregnant women in the delivery ward. Participants were allocated to two groups through balanced block randomization. First, participants completed questionnaires. In the intervention group, the researcher stayed at the mother’s bedside and accompanied the mother continuously throughout the labor and up to 2 hours after childbirth. Both groups received routine care. Six weeks after childbirth, participants in both groups were contacted to complete the CEQ 2.0 and Rosenberg self-esteem questionnaires. The required data were collected and analyzed at a significance level of 0.05.

Results:

The mean (± SD) of childbirth experience 6 weeks after childbirth was 3.1 (± 0.2) in the intervention group and 2.6 (± 0.3) in the control group, and this difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001) (Cohen’s d = 1.7; 95% CI: 1.1, 2.3). The comparison of the mean of maternal self-esteem showed that this rate in the intervention group was 2.1 scores higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.02) (Cohen’s d = 0.6; 95% CI: 0.1, 1.1).

Conclusions:

Continued support of the midwife in labor and up to 2 hours after childbirth can lead to a better childbirth experience and enhance the mother’s self-esteem up to 6 weeks after childbirth.
Time and Space Complexity Reduction of KFDA-based LTE Modulation
Classification
Authors: Kadoun Iyad , Bizaki Hossein Khaleghi
Published: May 2023

Background:

Kernel Fisher discriminant analysis (KFDA) is a nonlinear discrimination
technique for improving automatic modulation classification (AMC) accuracy. Our study showed that
the higher-order cumulants (HOCs) of the Long-term evolution (LTE) modulation types are nonlinearly
separable, so the KFDA technique is a good solution for its modulation classification problem.
Still, research papers showed that the KFDA suffers from high time and space computational complexity.
Some studies concentrated on reducing the KFDA time complexity while preserving the
AMC performance accuracy by finding faster calculation techniques, but unfortunately, they couldn't
reduce the space complexity.

Objective:

This study aims to reduce the time and space computational complexity of the KFDA algorithm
while preserving the AMC performance accuracy.

Methods:

Two new time and space complexity reduction algorithms have been proposed. The first algorithm
is the most discriminative dataset points (MDDP) algorithm, while the second is the k-nearest
neighbors-based clustering (KNN-C) algorithm

Results:

The simulation results show that these algorithms could reduce the time and space complexities,
but their complexity reduction is a function of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values. On the other
hand, the KNN-C-based KFDA algorithm has less complexity than the MDDP-based KFDA algorithm

Conclusion:

The time and space computation complexity of the KFDA could be effectively reduced
using MDDP and KNN-C algorithms; as a result, its calculation became much faster and had less
storage size.
The Winding Path of Depression in Argentina from Awareness to
Functional Recovery
Authors: Rojtenberg Sergio , Mosca Daniel , Verdaguer Maria Fernanda , Martinez Monica , Elorza Paola M.
Published: May 2023

Background:

Despite the huge global socioeconomic burden of depressive disorders,
depression is often underreported and undertreated due to a lower level of awareness from
both healthcare providers and payers in many countries. The lack of an evidence-based approach
to care delivery has resulted in the inequitable allocation of health resources, causing
resource scarcity issues in Argentina.

Objective:

The aim of this paper is to identify the gaps in evidence related to patients’ journeys
and barriers in the existing care ecosystem contributing to poor access to quality care for depression
in an Argentine context.

Methods:

A semi-systematic review of the literature was performed from 2012 to 2021 using
Medline, Embase and Biosis and other unstructured sources (Google Scholar, the World Health
Organization (WHO) website, Argentina Ministry of Health website, and Incidence and Prevalence
Database (IPD) on awareness, screening, diagnosis, treatment, adherence and/or control
of depression amongst adults (≥18 years). Any identified data gaps were supplemented with
anecdotal data from local experts.

Results:

Low percentages of adult patients with depression awareness (<25%), screening
(<10%), diagnosis (37.5%), received treatment (41.9%), adherence to treatment (37.5%), and
control (37.5%) were observed.

Conclusion:

Ensuring a care continuum while considering full clinical remission with functional
recovery as a therapeutic goal and advocacy for patient-centric adjustments in existing
mental health policies would be key drivers for improving the depression care scenario.

Published: May 2023

The article discusses the theoretical foundations of Ukrainian feminism, substantiates its practical significance for social changes in society. The subject of research attention is the individual and collective dimensions of feminism, the influence of this important social phenomenon on the value evolution of Ukrainian society. Attention is focused on the goal-rational and value-rational dimensions of the women's community, its moral and normative foundations. The role of the Ukrainian lifeworld in the value demarcation of Ukrainian women from imperial sociality is understood.
Emphasis is placed on the European social prerequisites of Ukrainian feminism, its consistency with liberal and communitarian ideas. The fundamental methodological approaches of representatives of postcolonial studies and critical social theory are analyzed. The national specificity of Ukrainian feminism as a social alternative to the distorted imperial forms of sociality is noted. Synthesized are theoretical and practical approaches that interpret feminism as a complex social phenomenon that has rational and sensual components. The reasons for the predominance of sensuality in the conditions of total alienation and its conditioning by historical factors are explained.
Analytical model of small fluctuations of compressible magma with Maxwell rheology in the feeding system of a volcano. Part 1. Density oscillations
Authors: Radionoff Anatoly
Published: May 2023

The analytical mathematical model is presented that describes one of the possible mechanisms for the occurrence of long-period seismic events that are often recorded near active volcanic centers. The feeding system of the volcano is modeled in the simplest form of a cylindrical channel filled with a compressible magmatic melt with the rheology of a Maxwell body. It is shown that such a magmatic body can experience harmonic damped oscillations, the damping coefficient of which is determined by the relaxation time of the magmatic melt. These fluctuations may appear as a response to a density perturbation caused by the influx of denser magma from deep layers or a change in pressure in the supply system of the volcano. The dependence of the natural oscillatory frequency on the physical characteristics of the magmatic melt and the geometric dimensions of the feed channel is shown. When the compressibility of the magmatic melt is taken into account, density perturbations depend on the size of the feeding system and are characterized by periodic oscillations, which are most pronounced near the channel axis. Oscillations are also experienced by the flow velocity component directed along the radius of the cylinder. The source mechanism of the long-period seismic events is discussed. The model is used to describe long-period oscillations recorded near Santiaguito (Guatemala).

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic condition which caused by insulin secretion disorder, insulin resistance or both. High number of diabetics per year has led many researchers to conduct research to find the most safe and effective medicine for DM treatment. Flavonoid are known to act as inhibitors of α-amylase as a parameter of pancreatic damage and help lower blood glucose levels. One source of flavonoids is purslane. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of purslane ethanol extract on glucose and α-amylase levels in rat. Twenty rats Rattus novergicus L. strain Wistar are divided into 5 groups; control, positive control, and three test groups, each was given purslane ethanol extract of 100 mg/kgBW, 200 mg/kgBW, and 300 mg/kgBW. Blood glucose and body weight were measured before alloxan induction, after induction, as well as day- 7, 14, 21, and 28; while feed and drink consumption were measured everyday starting with the administration of purslane ethanol extract. The α-amylase test was carried out on the 28th day using enzymatic UV determination of degradation product of maltose and glucose method. The analysis result showed that rats blood glucose and α-amylase decreased in each group with purslane extract. The antioxidant content of flavonoids in purslane ethanol extract has been shown to have anti-diabetic effects by repairing pancreatic function.

Dogs are one of the pet animals that have a loyal nature and are widely cared for in the community. It is not uncommon for dogs to often play in parks or outdoor environments that are surrounded by grass to play with their owners. The grass is a breeding ground for ticks, which can be vectors of disease carriers for dogs. Babesiosis is a disease caused by Babesia sp. and is transmitted by tick vectors. In this paper, we will discuss the clinical condition, diagnosis, and treatment of one dog with babesiosis at the Lilipoet clinic, Yogyakarta. A Shih-Tzu dog has clinical symptoms of fever with a temperature of 39.9oC, decreased appetite, and has a history of yellow vomiting, and found one tick. Blood was collected for microscopic examination of blood smears, blood hematologic, and molecular examination. Hematologic examination of the blood showed the value of thrombocytopenia with a value of 32 x 103/µL. Molecular examination with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) showed positive results of Babesia sp. with visible DNA bands at 490bp. Treatment was carried out by giving one dose of antiprotozoal diminazen aceturate 3.5 mg/kg BW and doxycycline 10mg/kg BW once a day for 14 days.

Early AMD is accompanied by symptoms of pruritus or different behaviors triggered by itching such as scratching or licking. Many causes of pruritus in cats such as hypersensitivity dermatitis, ectoparasites, fungal infections, bacterial infections, or skin reactions to systemic diseases. Gradually clinical symptoms will occur alopecia and erythema because it is very itchy, moist and smells on the surface of the skin. Case Description: A male Persian cat, 1.6 years old and weighing 3.4 kg, presented with a history of pruritus, alopecia, erythema and wet skin in several locations, especially around the neck, and had been present for 3 months. Appetite to eat and drink is not very good because the cat is busy scratching and biting its fur due to excessive itching. Examination Results and Treatments: After clinical examination and microscopic examination of samples, the main trigger in this case was furmite in a cat, Lynxacarus radovskyi with secondary bacterial infection causing Acute Moist Dermatitis (AMD). Not only that, ectoparasites in this case also cause other systemic diseases, namely suspicion of blood parasites that cause thrombocytopenia as evidenced by the results of a Complete Blood Count (CBC), and is characterized by clinical symptoms of hematuria and epistaxis. This cat underwent intensive treatment for several weeks with several combinations of drugs such as antiparasitics, antibiotics. antihistamines, NSID and vitamins. Conclusion: This

Brucellosis is an infectious and zoonotic disease that causes a negative impact on the health and economy of people in almost all countries. The prevalence of brucellosis in several regions in Indonesia is still quite high. The purpose of this study was to analyze the role of farmers in the brucellosis control and surveillance program in Bogor Regency. The study was conducted through a survey of 151 farmers in Bogor Regency from May to July 2022. A total of 68.9% of respondents are aged 25-50 years with an education level of 69.8% are low educated (Elementary School, Junior High School) and not in school . The experience of raising more than five years (58.2%) with the number of dairy cattle ownership is less than five heads, namely 41.7%. The brucellosis prevention practices that need to be improved are related to the use of disinfectants when cleaning the cage, livestock group management practices (separating pregnant cows from other cows, separating cows with suspected brucellosis from other healthy cows, separating newly purchased cows for two weeks before being merged with cows). long in the cage). The practice of brucellosis control that needs to be improved is proper handling of the placenta and cows infected with brucellosis properly. Surveillance practices that need to be improved are the practice of recording and reporting cases of miscarriage in the final trimester. After identifying farmer practices, it is very important to plan interventions in the form of training with a curriculum that refers to the level of farmer practice that is still lacking. It is hoped that by conducting training interventions for farmers, the level of knowledge of farmers will increase and the level of practice of farmers will also increase.

Financial management practices plays a vital role in the whole restaurant operations and services. Financial manager of a restaurant should take financial management seriously and need to be focused on the best approaches towards planning, monitoring, allocating, and budgeting monetary resources based on the availability of funds to provide high quality services standards. Restaurant business needs to have a good financial managers that could really focus and understand food service industry leading to media brand. The findings meant that restaurant employees in Cabanatuan City had high level of financial management practices especially in management of working capital and investment appraisal techniques. Highest educational attainment (r= 1.135) and major field of specialization (r=.173) had found a positive correlation with the level of financial management practiced. Other variables like age, gender, marital status, and training and seminars had no relationships with the financial management practices. The most challenging part of financial manager is the operating expenses and restaurant operations and services as a whole. These challenges are the menu, customer service experiences, uniqueness from other restaurant, marketing strategies operational challenges, inventory and hiring and training staffs. It is recommended to plan programs for the improvement and enhancement of restaurant employees performance and financial management towards restaurant operations.

Abstract: In the modern day, graphical password authentication that relies on memory or recognition is a different and still developing sort of authentication. The user copies the picture or is able to identify the image that was used or made during the registration process. Only authorised users are able to access resources and information thanks to passwords. The newest fashion is graphic passwords, which appear to be a highly promising authentication technique. It is available as a substitute for text passwords. The most popular method is using usernames and passwords that are alphanumeric. While this method has certain benefits over plain text passwords, it also has some drawbacks. Users strive to memorise short, strong passwords that can be broken when using alphanumeric passwords, but doing so becomes cumbersome. Users that use graphical passwords save a picture or certain areas of an image as their password. Biometrics is now the most sophisticated and secure form of authentication, yet it is too costly for widespread usage. Graphical passwords are a fantastic alternative authentication mechanism since they are less expensive, more secure, and simpler for everyone to use. [1]

Authors: Dundage Shivprasad , Phadtare Prof. N. P.
Published: May 2023

Abstract Overhead water tank is a water storage facility supported by a tower and constructed at an elevation to provide useful storage and pressure for a water distribution system. Safety as well as working of such structures is considered as very crucial during earthquakes, since they put up for necessities like drinking water, firefighting during fire accidents, etc. Such structures should stay in operating condition even after several earthquakes. This RC overhead water tanks involves huge water mass supported on the top of tank supporting system known as staging. This investigation is basically to discover the seismic behavior of RC overhead water tanks. In this study, a FEM based model is used for finding out the nonlinear seismic performance of RC overhead water tanks with several staging variations. The staging that is different bracing patterns considered in this study in lateral and vertical direction, which relatively increases the strength and stiffness of tank in supporting system. Staad models are prepared and analyze for different seismic zones as well as for cyclonic regions and observed the parameters such as base shear, base moment and lateral displacement. The commercial software STAAD.Pro is used for structural analysis. Since the seismic response of water tank structure depends on its dynamic properties and frequency of ground motion. This seismic analysis of overhead water tank structure cannot be carried out on the basis of maximum value of ground acceleration because of nonavailability of ground acceleration data at every location. Hence for seismic analysis of overhead water tank, earthquake response spectrum analysis is widely used. While using this method, smooth design spectra is used to determine the value of displacement and forces in members at every mode of vibration. Octagonal, Radial, Cross, Alternate tie , Diagonal and X- type bracings are used to analyze the structure under all the seismic zones viz. II, III, IV & V. Also observed the behavior of tank for cyclonic region where wind load is increased by 30%. Analysed the overhead water tanks of same capacity for different bottom dome deviation angles and concluded.

Helmet Detection and Number Plate Recognition
Authors: Kale Tushar
Published: May 2023

Abstract: Developing countries have always relied on motorcycles as their primary mode of transportation, but unfortunately, the number of motorcycle accidents has been on the rise in recent years. One of the leading causes of fatalities in these accidents is the lack of helmet usage by motorcyclists. To ensure that motorcyclists wear helmets, traditional methods include manual monitoring by traffic police at intersections or the use of CCTV footage to identify those not wearing a helmet. However, these methods require significant human effort and intervention. This system proposes an automated approach to identify nonhelmeted motorcyclists and retrieve their license plate information from CCTV footage. The system first differentiates moving objects as motorcycles or non-motorcycles. For classified motorcyclists, the system identifies whether they are wearing helmets or not. If the motorcyclist is not wearing a helmet, the system extracts the license plate number using an OCR algorithm.
Design and VLSI implementation of SRAM memory array using Application-specific Integrated circuits design flow
Authors: J A Akshay
Published: May 2023

Abstract Static Random-access memory (SRAM) are useful structure blocks in operations like data storage, embedded operations, cache recollections, microprocessors. The circuits should retain larger impunity to noise voltages. So, the Stationary Noise Margin (SNM) of the circuits should be veritably high. Large SRAM arrays that are extensively used as cache memory in microprocessors and operation-specific integrated circuits can absorb a big portion of the chip area. Highly compact circuits like SRAM arrays are estimated to cover relatively 90% of the System on chip area within the coming years. To optimize the performance of similar chips, large arrays of fast SRAM help to speed up the system performance. As a result, numerous minimal-size SRAM cells are tightly packed making SRAM arrays the compact circuitry on a chip. In this work an attempt is made to design a 8 X 8 SRAM memory array along with different components like Write driver circuit, Pre-charge circuit, Row and Column Decoder. Different SRAM architectures such as 6T, 7T and 8T are designed and different parameters such as Static Noise Margin and power dissipated are measured and the best performing memory design has been selected. 8T design has been resulted with least power dissipation. Hence this cell is selected for designing the memory array. A schematic of 8 x 8 array is designed and the layout of single SRAM 8T is created and to complete the ASIC design flow, DRC is done and the pre and post simulation are compared and verified. The integrated SRAM is operated with an input voltage of 0 to 1.8V.
