A STUDY OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SERUM ESR AND CRP IN PATIENTS WITH OSSIFICATION OF POSTERIOR LONGITUDINAL LIGAMENT
Authors: T Jagadish , Ghumare Sushant , Deokate Pravin
Published: July 2021

Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is seen most commonly in men, in the elderly, and in Asian
population [1].The disease usually starts with minimal or no symptoms, but some patients slowly progress to develop
symptoms of myelopathy and radiculopathy.The present study aims to find out the relationship between serum CRP and
ESR levels in patients with OPLL and its relationship with radiological classification of OPLL. In this cross sectional
correlation study we have included all patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria from the year July 2019 to December 2020
in tertiary care hospital.Our study comprising of total 50 patients will show the relationship between OPLL with level of
serum CRP and ESR (normal or raised).In our study it was found that majority of the patients were above 50 years of age
with male predominance.In the present study it was found that the level of CRP was raised in 83.4% cases of continuous
type,100% cases of localised type,69.2% cases of mixed type and 92.8% cases of segmental type.In the present study it
was found that the level of ESR was raised in 83.4% cases of continuous type,66.7% cases of localised type,61.5% cases
of mixed type and 75.0% cases of segmental type. It is possible that raised serum levels of CRP and ESR may be
associated with OPLL and thus inflammation may be the cause of OPLL.

Authors: M Savadogo , I Diallo , K A Sondo
Published: July 2021

Introduction: Sub-Saharan Africa remains one of the regions most affected by HIV infection with severe lethality.Most
deaths of patients living with HIV are caused by opportunistic infections.
Objective: to determine the prevalence of opportunistic infections among patients living with HIV in hospital serving
infectious diseases of UHC YO of Ouagadougou.
Patients and Methods:This is a cross-sectional descriptive study covering a 14-month period from 1 January 2017 to 28
February 2018. Included were all HIV-positive patients, hospitalized at the service of Infectious Diseases, in which an
opportunistic infection was diagnosed on the basis of clinical and/or para-clinical arguments.
Results: During the study period a total of 55 patients living with HIV were hospitalized in the infectious disease unit,35
of whom had at least one opportunistic infection or 63.6% of the patients.The average age of patients was 37 years with
extremes of 18 and 66 years.Twenty-two patients were female versus 13 male, a sex ratio = 0.59. HIV1 was involved in
97% of patients.The mean TCD4 lymphocyte rate was 156 cell/mm3 with extremes of 7 and 718 cell/mm3.Tuberculosis
and digestive mycosis were the most frequently diagnosed opportunistic infections. Opportunistic infection was the
circumstance for HIV testing in two patients.She revealed immune restoration syndrome in two other patients.Nineteen
patients were already on antiretroviral treatment upon admission to the service.Half of the patients on treatment were in
therapeutic failure.The evolution was marked by 26.5% lethality.
Conclusion:The frequency of opportunistic infections is high in patients living with HIV.Their prevention requires early
detection of HIV infection and antiretroviral treatment.

Authors: Sake Raju
Published: July 2021

Present paper deals with the application of Distribution Theory to analyze and predict Rainfall (RF) and Ground Water
Levels (GWLs) in Anantapuramu district based on the data collected from January 2007 to December 2016. Through with
Negative Binomial Distribution by using Recurrence Relation Method for the purpose of analysis the district is divided
into five zones. We have estimated the Negative Binomial Distribution by using Recurrence Relation values and
compared among them by using the data. Further, validation of the fitted distribution identified the best suitable zone
that is Residual Sum of Squares (RSS) value of the zone and forecast on the Rainfall and Ground Water Levels of this
district. We also calculate Critical Difference (C.D) test and conclusions are drawn based on the results obtained.
Testing Cyber-Physical Systems Using a Line-Search Falsification Method
Authors: Ramezani Zahra , Claessen Koen , Smallbone Nicholas , Fabian Martin , Åkesson Knut
Published: July 2021

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are complex and exhibit both continuous and discrete dynamics, hence it is difficult to guarantee that they satisfy given specifications, i.e., the properties that must be fulfilled by the system. Falsification of temporal logic properties is a testing approach that searches for counterexamples of a given specification, which can be used to increase the confidence that a CPS does fulfill its specifications. Falsification can be done using random search methods or optimization methods. In this paper, a method based on combining random parameters together with considering extreme combinations of parameter values is proposed. Evaluation results on benchmark problems show that this method performs well on many of the problems. Optimization methods are needed when optimization-free methods do not perform well in falsification. The efficiency of the falsification is affected by the optimization methods used to search for inputs that might falsify the specifications. This paper presents a new optimization method for falsification, Line-search falsification, where optimization is done over line segments through a vector of inputs in the n-dimensional parameter space. The evaluation results on the benchmark problems show that using this method improves the falsification performance by reducing the number of simulations necessary to falsify a specification.
Online Learning with Radial Basis Function Networks
Authors: Borrageiro Gabriel
Published: July 2021

We investigate the benefits of feature selection, nonlinear modelling and online learning when forecasting financial time series. We combine sequential updating with continual learning, specifically transfer learning. We perform feature representation transfer through clustering algorithms that determine the analytical structure of radial basis function networks we construct. These networks achieve lower mean-square prediction errors than kernel ridge regression models, which arbitrarily use all training vectors as prototypes. We also demonstrate quantitative procedures to determine the very structure of the networks. Finally, we conduct experiments on the log-returns of financial time series and show that these online transfer learning models outperform a random-walk baseline. In contrast, the offline learning models struggle to do so.
Motion and Illumination Resistant Facial Video based Heart Rate Estimation Method using Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm Optimized Undercomplete Independent Component Analysis
Authors: Gupta Ankit , Ravelo-García Antonio G. , Morgado-Dias Fernando
Published: July 2021

Heart Rate (HR) estimation is of utmost need due to its applicability in diverse fields. Conventional methods for HR estimation require skin contact and are not suitable for scenarios such as sensitive skin or prolonged unobtrusive HR monitoring. Therefore remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) methods have been an active area of research. These methods utilize the facial videos acquired using a camera followed by extracting the Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) signal for heart rate calculation. The existing rPPG methods either used a single color channel or weighted color differences, which has limitations dealing with motion and illumination artifacts. This study considers BVP extraction as an undercomplete problem and proposed a method U-LMA. First, a non-linear Cumulative Density Function (CDF) approximated by a hyperbolic tangent (tanh) was used to deal with the non-linearity associated with rigid and non-rigid motions and illumination variations. Then, the entropy of the proposed non-linear CDF was optimized using a customized LMA for BVP signal extraction, followed by maximum peak estimation for HR calculation. The performance of the proposed method was tested under three scenarios: constrained, motion, and illumination variations scenarios. High Pearson correlation coefficient values and smaller lower-upper statistical limits of bland-altman plots , justified the good performance of the U-LMA. Comparative analysis of U-LMA with undercomplete ICA with negentropy (U-neg) and other state-of-the-art methods demonstrated its best performance of U-LMA by achieving the lowest error and highest correlation values (0.01 significance level) . Additionally, higher accuracy satisfying the clinically accepted error differences also justified its clinical relevance.

Authors: Tuarita Mirna Zena
Published: July 2021

Regarding source of animal protein, pindang (salted and cooked fish) seems to have a greater potentiality than ikan asin (salted and dried fish), since pindang is more favorable in terms of sensory properties; thereby, pindang can be more widely consumed.  Besides, pindang  is also ready-to-eat product, which make it easier to consume. This research aimed at evaluating the different degree of salting and cooking on quality of scad mackerel pindang. The experiment was carried out according to Randomized Block Design, consisting of two processing methods: steam (A) and pressured or presto (B), with various concentrations of salt, i.e. 5%, 10% and 15%. The sample was then analyzed for content of protein, moisture, ash, as well as hedonic profile. The results showed that the best quality of scad mackerel pindang was achieved at pressured fish with salt  5%, yielding protein of 34,68%, moisture of 64,79%, and ash of 1,80%.

La ironía persistente

Published: July 2021

El presente artículo presenta un recorrido por las estrategias artísticas que llevaron a Duchamp a elegir La Fuente como un principio de insurrección que todavía forma parte de la discusión artística en nuestros días. Por medio de una aproximación hermenéutica a sus escritos epistolares y entrevistas, y sumando el poder interpretativo de textos críticos al respecto, se pretende vislumbrar el juego de ambigüedades existente en la elección de una cosa cualquiera como obra de arte. Así, sabiendo del placer que las ambivalencias provocaban en Duchamp, profundizaremos en las capacidades asociativas que asume el urinario pese a la reiterada insistencia en su anestesia estética, para vislumbrarlo como un “objeto talismán” que reivindica lo cotidiano.

Resplandor de humanismo y crítica social en la obra literaria de Eduardo Galeano
Authors: Segura-Lazcano Gustavo Antonio , Argüello-Zepeda Francisco José , Vilchis-Torres Ivett
Published: July 2021

A un lustro de su partida, la obra literaria de Eduardo Galeano nos motiva a revisar su mensaje humanista fundamentado, insistentemente, en la crítica social. De manera poética, el autor enuncia tesis filosóficas sobre el devenir histórico de los pueblos originarios y mestizos de América Latina. La indignación y la esperanza resultan sentimientos vitales que se unifican al denunciar los actos injustos que propician desigualdades. La globalización capitalista que no valora la vida comunitaria vulnera la dignidad humana. En este trabajo se pone énfasis en la vida cotidiana mediante la recuperación y análisis de frases del autor en El libro de los abrazos, Mujeres y Espejos.

Aproximaciones al estudio de la forma desde la teoría del formalismo especulativo de Tom Eyers
Authors: Pérez-Pérez Joselyn
Published: July 2021

Se teoriza y discute el replanteamiento del estudio de la forma establecido por el inglés Tom Eyers. Se explica el 'formalismo especulativo' como una nueva propuesta teórica en aras de establecer que historia y literatura no pueden entenderse como formas inconexas, sino que entablan relaciones que permiten entender la misma noción de forma, lo que da pie a una perspectiva diferente de los estudios literarios. Finalmente, se concluye que el postulado de Eyers implica entender que la forma, más que un instrumento para categorizar el lenguaje literario, es un elemento intrínseco del mismo y, por lo tanto, de la literatura.

Hacia una traducción de “The Double Image” de Anne Sexton: apuntes sobre la bidireccionalidad de la maternidad
Authors: Anguita-Martínez Víctor
Published: July 2021

Anne Sexton (Boston, 1928-1974) es conocida por el público debido a su historial clínico y a su personalidad desgarradora en los escenarios que recitaba. Sin embargo, en este estudio nos centramos exclusivamente a las cuestiones relacionadas con la maternidad en “The Double Image” (To Bedlam and Part Way Back, 1963). La extensión del poema y su importancia en relación con el completo de su obra justifican el corpus reducido con el que pretendemos acercar dichas cuestiones. Un proceso documental de la traducción, entendida como proceso y producto, que premia el trasvase no solo del estilo y los hechos biográficos presentes en el texto, sino del contenido metafórico con una tendencia premeditada hacia la aceptabilidad, posible gracias a la transcreación (Etkind, 1982) del original en la cultura receptora.

ЦИФРОВАЯ ВАЛЮТА ЦЕНТРАЛЬНЫХ БАНКОВ КАК ОСНОВА ДЕНЕЖНО-СУВЕРЕННОГО ГОСУДАРСТВА В КОНТЕКСТЕ СОВРЕМЕННОЙ ДЕНЕЖНОЙ ТЕОРИИ
Authors: Цакаев А.Х. , Саидов З.А.
Published: July 2021

В статье представлены результаты оценки и анализа современной денежной теории и цифровой валюты Центрального банка, их связи и взаимозависимости. Показан процесс трансформации базовых постулатов классической теорий денег в постулаты современной денежной теории – безусловная монополия государства на денежную эмиссию, временной приоритет государственных расходов над доходами государства, доминанта функциональности финансов над их надежностью, причинно-следственная связь между налогообложением и уровнем занятости.
Раскрыта суть и содержание цифровой валюты Центрального банка и её отличие от биткоинов и стейблкоинов, включая обзор их освоения в ряде стран (в т.ч. в России). Сформулированы выводы о том, что появление цифровой валюты центральных банков свидетельствует об усилении внимания государств к современной денежной теории; что цифровая валюта центральных банков – это не дополнительная, а следующая (более современная) форма денег, адекватная эпохе цифровизации экономических отношений; современная денежная теория в корне меняет последовательность денежного оборота (кругооборота денег) в стране; современная денежная теория и цифровая валюта Центрального банка заточены на обеспечение реализации «модели максимального государства»; реализация «модели максимального государства» в цифровую эпоху позволяет государствам стать денежно-суверенными.
В качестве предложения России рекомендуется более чем серьезно отнестись к вопросу о введении в обращение цифрового рубля, рассматривая его как региональную цифровую валюту для стран СНГ.

Angioedema is caused by a local increase in vascular permeability induced by bradykinin or mast cell mediators. The main challenge of the differential diagnosis of angioedema lies in the fact that different pathophysiological processes may lead to a very similar clinical picture. Moreover, verification of the type of angioedema is crucial for selection of appropriate therapy. In 2020, a school for doctors Chronic urticaria: scientific and medical accomplishments and practical aspects of patient management was held on the basis of the National Research Center Institute of Immunology of the FMBA of Russia as part of the work of the reference center that provides expert assistance to patients with urticaria (GALEN UCARE). A clinical case series of related patients with hereditary angioedema due to a mutation in the PLG gene was presented to demonstrate the challenges of the differential diagnosis between types of angioedema. This article focused on the description of this series.

SUPERVISED MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS FOR DETECTING CREDIT CARD FRAUD
Authors: G.Bhargav Chowdari
Published: July 2021

One of the most serious ethical challenges in the credit card industry is fraud. Our paper’s major goal is to identify credit card theft and offer a reasonable solution to the problem. Credit card fraud has cost customers and banks billions of dollars around the world. Fraudsters are constantly attempting to come up with new ways and tricks to commit fraud, despite the fact that there are several measures in place to prevent it. Fraud detection is extremely important in the banking and finance industries. For detection purposes, we will use an artificial neural network. As a result, in order to prevent it, we will develop a system that will not only detect fraud, but will also detect it before it occurs. In order to detect new scams, our system will learn from previous frauds. Mining algorithms were used to detect fraud, but they failed miserably. We use machine learning methods to detect fraud in credit card transactions in our paper. The research employs supervised learning methods that are applied to a kaggle dataset that is severely skewed and imbalanced. We used robust scalar to balance the set, resulting in 51 percent non-fraud cases and 49 percent fraud ones. Logistic regression, random forest, decision tree, and KNN have all been implemented, with additional learning curves displaying which algorithm performs best.
Accuracy, specificity, precision, and sensitivity are the evaluation criteria, and a comparative chart is created to show the comparative analysis of various supervised learning algorithms.

Authors: Raslinda Sheila Manora
Published: July 2021

The objective of the study is to discuss the coping strategies to handle students' misbehaviour at a state senior secondary school in South Sumatera. In this study, the researcher investigated how an EFL teacher applied coping strategies in classroom management to handle students' misbehaviour. One teacher was recruited for this study, and semi-structured interview and observational were used in data collection. The study found there are several types of student’s misbehavior that often occured, such as cheating, talkativeness, obtuseness, and inattentiveness. The classification of students’ misbehavior was made in accordance with the research paper of Debreli and Ishanova (2019). However, there are categories not found such as moving around the room, annoying others, and stealing. Coping strategies that are considered most effective to handle students’ misbehavior are talking with students after class, calling the names, and giving praise.

Authors: HERWIANA SAKHI
Published: July 2021

The advantages of collaborative writing and peer feedback have contributed to give significant effect to the writing ability of L1 (first language) learners, L2 (second language) learners, and FL (foreign language) learners. The objective of this study was to find out the strengths and weaknesses of collaborative writing and peer feedback in an EFL intensive reading and writing coursework classroom especially in English education department students of Hasyim Asy’ari University. This study used a qualitative method where the data were described qualitatively. As this study used a qualitative approach, therefore observation and interview were used as instruments to collect the data. The result showed that collaborative writing and peer feedback strategies were not easy to be implemented in an EFL classroom. There were some strengths and weaknesses found during the observation. The strengths of these strategies showed that students could share ideas, improve grammar and vocabulary, make students more active, have good cooperation among peers, build self-confidence and make students happy. However, the strategies may not give any significant effect on the students’ cognitive ability in writing skills if most of the students have the low ability in mastering English. In addition, a smart student would prefer to write individually than in collaborative writing.
