Published: June 2022

Brain-computer interface, widely known as BCI, is a relatively new field of research that has emerged as promising field research in the last few decades. It is defined as a combination of software as well as hardware that give us the tool to control external devices by using our brain signals as commands. In this chapter, the authors discuss the various tools that can be used to analyze and perform different functions on the brain signals, create BCI models, simulations, etc. In this study, they compare the tools and tabulate how they might be useful for the user's requirements. Additionally, they have implemented the use of tools for real-time applications. The experimental analysis presented in this work utilizes MAMEM EEG steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP) dataset I. Five different frequencies (6.66, 7.50, 8.57, 10.00, and 12.00 Hz) were used for the visual stimulation. The authors have analyzed different parameters like power spectrum density, power spectrum, and inter-trial coherence (ITC) through EEGLAB.

Published: June 2022

This research analyzed neuroimaging techniques for measuring cognitive load in multimedia research using a systematic literature review on all related papers published until April 2020. The most striking observation to emerge from the analysis is that electroencephalography, functional magnetic resonance imaging, functional near-infrared spectroscopy, and transcranial doppler ultrasonography have been the most preferred neuroimaging tools utilized in cognitive load in multimedia learning research. Forty articles were reviewed based on the techniques that should be known in the field of neuroimaging to study cognitive load in multimedia learning, the analysis methods for neuroimaging, the results related to cognitive load in multimedia research. The study's findings were evaluated, and many discrepancies in cognitive load research related to multimedia learning were discovered.

Inventory optimality is an option of energy utilization proportionality that can lessen carbon emanations and maximize profitability. This study proposes an inventory management model in which the stock volume is optimally decided to diminish energy per resource utilized in-other to reduce carbon emanations. This will likewise help in concluding renewal volume optimally. Consequently, the study utilized economic order quantity (EOQ) to decide inventory volumes in-other to decrease carbon emanations so as to augment profits of the inventory chain. Partial least square(PLS) was additionally utilized to examine the extent of inventory management frameworks on environmental sustainability. The study, therefore, shows its oddity and pertinency by utilizing economic order quantity(EOQ) and partial least square(PLS) to examine and optimize inventory respectively, as it gives a perspective of decreasing carbon emanations during inventory procedures.

Published: June 2022

Sustainable green new and renewable energy is continuously developed along with the development of cheap and commercially available secondary energy storage such as Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Nickel-rich cathode material obtained from cheap raw materials can significantly reduce the overall LIBs production cost and improve the overall process feasibility. For the first time, Ni-rich cathode material precursor was synthesized from mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP). Based on MHP characterization test, the nickel content is high but have slight Mn and Mg level. NCM precursors was prepared in three facile steps, i.e., acid leaching using cheap and environmentally friendly organic acids, coprecipitation using oxalic acid, and thermal decomposition of as-prepared oxalate precipitate. Based on FTIR and XRD analysis, high crystalline oxalate dihydrate precipitates were successfully obtained. The morphological feature of the precipitate is significantly affected by the type of leaching solution. Fine metal oxides precursor powders also were successfully prepared which is confirmed by XRD, FTIR, and SEM analysis and can be readily used for Ni-rich cathode material preparation. In this study, NCM-Ox-LA have the best characteristic properties.
Transparent Conductive Oxides. Part II. Specific Focus on ITO, ZnO-AZO, SnO2-FTO Families for Photovoltaics Applications
Authors: Habis Christelle , Zaraket Jean , Aillerie Michel
Published: June 2022

This contribution is the second part of a presentation of transparent conductive oxides, TCO. After a general overview in the first publication of properties and applications of TCO related to the type of oxide and dopant, the growth techniques and the temperature, we focus in the current one on three families of TCO used as transparent electrodes in photovoltaic, PV, cells and modules. Indeed, new generations of solar cells need optimizing TCO with improved conductivity and transparency depending on substrate, type of PV cells, and conditions of used. Thus, ITO, ZnO-AZO, and SnO2-FTO TCO families are considered. ITO presents the best combination of electrical and optical properties but TCO based on the two other families are challenging in many photovoltaic applications for obtaining low cost and environmental friendly electrodes with comparable performances. Due to the high number of publications on TCO for PV applications, this contribution does not claim to be exhaustive but makes it possible to summarize the main information concerning these materials by approaching them in a common methodology.
In Situ Monitoring of Internal Defects by a Laser Sensor for CMT Based Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing Parts
Authors: Wang Zeya , Zimmer-Chevret Sandra , Leonard François , Bourlet Clément , Abba Gabriel
Published: June 2022

Cold metal transfer (CMT) based wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is increasingly popular for the production of large and complex metallic parts because of its high efficiency and low cost. The presence of internal defects in fabricated parts is a common and critical issue to the process, which degrades parts’ mechanical properties. However, the in-situ monitoring of internal defects can hardly be implemented through traditional inspection techniques due to the surface waviness and the high interlayer temperature of parts. In this study, based on the scan of each deposited layer by a laser sensor and the geometric criteria proposed, an in-situ monitoring method is developed for identifying internal defects, which can be easily applied in an automated WAAM system. Experimental results show that the developed in-situ monitoring identifies 100% accurately the parts without internal defects, and in the cases of parts with internal defects, defective layers can be identified with an accuracy of 93.2%. The effects of process parameters on internal defects have also been investigated.
Applying Plastic-Metal Joining and Automatic Stamping to Inserted Injection Molding Processes
Authors: Shih Yu Chi , Wu Meng Ting , Wu Cheng Hsien
Published: June 2022

To perform heterogeneous joining of metal and plastic, usually the metal part is made first, and then the injection molding is used for joining. The joining method is mostly inserted injection molding, such as electronic parts joints; the other is injection molding followed by locking and fixing with screws, such as electronic product panels. The latter will spend too much labor time and cost. This study explores the method of generating microstructures on the metal surface to increase the joining strength between the metal part and the plastic part. The joining strength of the inserted injection molding process is discussed. The effects of physical characteristics of the plastic on the joining properties between the metal insert and the plastic part are also investigated. Moreover, this research also modified the injection molding mold to combine metal stamping and injection molding into one process. The results show that when the anodized metal surface is joined to the plastic, the plastic and the metal specimen will fail to join due to their different shrinkage percentages. However, if the metal specimen is laser engraved, the joining strength between the plastic and the metal will increase. Laser engraving is recommended for joining between metal and plastic, with less restriction, and the processing time is much shorter than the anodizing process.

Published: June 2022

Sri Lanka is a fabulous tourist destination thus; ensuring food safety has garnered importance in public health. Spicy meat curries are popular among consumers and the majority of them belong to the low-income category. Hence, the aim of this descriptive cross-sectional study was to detect Clostridium perfringens and associated preventive measures to appraise the safe meat curry consumption in Colombo city. This spore bearer is ubiquitous in nature and found in a variety of food commodities. Furthermore, this fastidious bacterium is frequently found in meat curries and meat-based dishes. Two hundred meat curry samples comprising 100 chicken and 100 beef were purchased from proportionately selected 200 eating houses in Colombo which have been registered in the Colombo Municipal Council. Spread plate and enrichment techniques were used to optimize the isolation. Subsequently, presumptive identification was done and confirmed by biochemical tests. Confirmed colonies were enumerated and expressed as colony forming units (cfu) per gram of food.  Thus, C. perfringens was not detected in 61 % of meat curry samples comprising 69 % beef and 53% chicken curries. Safety measures either in preparation and/or storage have been taken by 75- 95% of eating houses, where this cultivable bacterium was not detected. Therefore, as indicated by our findings, safe meat curry consumption in the 21 st century without foodborne pathogens, could not be an over-ambitious goal. Further improvements can be done through the valuable service of Public Health Inspectors (PHIs) about the microbial quality of food.

Published: June 2022

Unusual forms of hallucinogenic mushrooms are emerging, which may delay diagnosis and compromise optimal management. Here, we discuss clinical and biological findings in a case of “magic mushroom” intoxication in a 20-year-old man who was brought to hospital emergency department in a state of euphoria, disorientation, intense visual hallucinations, episodic amnesia and agitation requiring physical restraint. The patient’s family brought intact specimens of the consumed product, without any health professional being able to identify it. Toxicological screening detected psilocin in urine and in the unknown mushrooms, allowing guiding the mushroom identification towards the Psilocybes genus. Ten hours post-ingestion, the patient was discharged asymptomatic. We believe that recognition of the unusual form of hallucinogenic mushroom presented here by emergency physicians might contribute to better diagnosis and subsequent optimal management, especially since hallucinogenic substances are not routinely tested in toxicological analyses.

CENTO ANNI DEL PARTITO COMUNISTA CINESE (1921-2021). ASPETTI E PROBLEMI STORICI E STORIOGRAFICI
Authors: Samarani Guido
Published: June 2022

Vorrei iniziare con una breve premessa e poi proseguire suddividendo il mio contributo cercando di tracciare - pur in modo necessariamente essenziale - i tratti più significativi del percorso del Partito Comunista Cinese (PCC) dal 1921 al 2021in 4 parti, alla luce delle più importanti analisi e pubblicazioni emerse in questi decenni sia in Cina che fuori dalla Cina: la prima parte dedicata alle origini ed alla fondazione del PCC e a seguire le altre tre parti prendendo come punto di riferimento tre eventi e date di particolare rilevanza storicopolitica: il 1945, il 1981 e il 2021. In quegli anni, infatti, il PCC ha approvato tre documenti ufficiali (Risoluzioni) sul proprio percorso storico legati a tre fasi chiave nella riflessione sulla storia del partito: il 1945, con l’avvio del ruolo centrale e dominante di Mao Zedong; il 1981, che segna la fine dell’era maoista e fornisce un quadro di legittimazione al nuovo corso delle quattro modernizzazioni guidate da Deng Xiaping; ed infine il 2021, in novembre, con la nuova risoluzione che di fatto segna un ulteriore decisivo passo nella consacrazione storico-politica dell’attuale leader Xi Jinping. Qualunque sia la nostra percezione e valutazione del ruolo storico del Partito Comunista Cinese, dei suoi successi ed insuccessi, dei momenti più esaltanti e di quelli più drammatici, credo resti al fondo un dato: nel luglio 1921, quando venne fondato, il PCC poteva contare su di una cinquantina di membri, era un partito politico marginale composto da intellettuali che si richiamava al proletariato ma che non aveva di fatto alcun legame ed esperienza con questo. Oggi, cent’anni dopo, è un partito di oltre 90 milioni di membri che dal 1949 guida quella che oggi è la seconda potenza mondiale.

Authors: Abdulah Deldar Morad , Mirza Abbas Muhammed Sadiq
Published: June 2022

Despite Iraq having started the COVID-19 vaccine in January 2020, there is no official data on vaccination and hospitalization across the country. We aimed to explore the role of the COVID-19 vaccine on the hospitalization and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 in Iraqi Kurdistan. In this prospective study, patients who were admitted to two COVID-19 hospitals in Iraqi Kurdistan in 2021 were followed-up by the discharge time between August and November 2021. The mean age of the patients was 57.6 (27-98 years) of both genders. Most of the patients were illiterate (69.3%) or had a lower level of education (20.5%). A small percentage of patients had previous thrombotic disorders (4.7%) and close to half of the patients had chronic diseases (44.9%). The patients had mild to moderate (44.9%), moderate-severe (36.2%), and critical (18.9%) status. The median hospitalization day was 9 days (1-45 days). The study found that 91.3% of the COVID-19 hospitalized patients did not receive the vaccine and 26.8% of patients died. We did not find a significant association between receiving vaccination and patients’ outcomes or disease severity. No patients with previous thrombotic disorders received the COVID-19 vaccine. The male patients were more likely to receive the COVID-19 vaccine compared to female patients; 14.55% vs. 4.17%, p=0.0394.  This study showed that most patients with COVID-19 who were admitted to the hospitals have not received the COVID-19 vaccine. A high percentage of the COVID-19 hospitalized patients died of the disease in this region.

Authors: Vaughan Jenifer , Wiggill Tracey , Willem Pascale , Hodkinson Katherine
Published: June 2022

Background: T-cell lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) is a malignancy of immature T-cells which is reported to comprise 7% – 23% of cases of lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), making up a larger proportion of adult ALL than childhood cases. It is characterised by an increased risk for early relapse but reportedly has superior outcomes as compared to B-cell ALL amongst adult patients. The frequency and clinical behaviour of T-ALL in Africa are unknown.Aim: This study aimed to assess the prevalence and selected clinicopathological features of T-ALL in Johannesburg, South Africa (SA).Setting: The Johannesburg state sector.Methods: All cases of ALL diagnosed by flow cytometry in the state-sector hospitals of Johannesburg over 42 months between 2016 and 2019 were identified and pertinent data recorded from the laboratory information system.Results: One hundred and eighty-one cases of ALL were identified, of which 59 (32.6%) were of T-cell lineage. The proportion of adult and paediatric ALL made up by T-ALL was similar (19/54 [35.2%] vs 40/127 [31.5%] respectively). Crude survival rates were very poor, with 80.0% having demised at the time of data collection. The mortality rate was overall significantly poorer amongst patients with T-ALL (80.0%) as compared to those with B-ALL (53.8%; p = 0.005) but was similarly poor in adults with B-ALL (83.3%) vs T-ALL (86.7%) (p = 0.53). The mortality rate did not differ between those with low-risk versus high-risk clinical features (77.8% vs 80.6%; p = 1.00).Conclusion: T-cell lymphoblastic leukaemia makes up a larger proportion of ALL in Johannesburg than is reported elsewhere, and it is a high-risk disease that is not well stratified by conventional risk factors.

Published: June 2022

Background and Objective:

The registries and guidelines for kidney diseases in children mostly do not include the Asian population and hence, its applicability is questionable. As a first step to address this question, the tubular and inherited disease working group of the Asian Pediatric Nephrology Association aimed to assess the current situation of pediatric tubular and inherited disorders in Asia.

Methods:

Our group conducted an online survey among the members of AsPNA from September to October 2020. Data collected included demographics, number of patients each physician cares for per year, methods of diagnosis, and access to genetic tests. Descriptive analysis was performed.

Results:

A total of 299 pediatric nephrologists from 21 countries in Asia participated. Distal renal tubular acidosis, Bartter syndrome, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, autosomal recessive kidney disease, and Alport syndrome were the commonly reported diseases. Around 70% employed clinical history, radiologic imaging, and biochemical tests for diagnosis. More than half (55.4%) of the institutions have access to genetic testing. For future collaborative projects, 88% expressed interest to participate.

Conclusions:

The results highlight the diversity of disease prevalence, diagnostic practices, capability, and access to genetic tests across Asia. The data gathered from this preliminary survey can be used to address knowledge gaps, and improve management and outcomes.

The forces in play during the COVID-19 pandemic-driven slowdown and recession have affected the demand for health care, and consequently, the willingness of hospitals, health-care systems, and clinician group practices to continue employing health-care workers at prepandemic levels. The pandemic also has reduced the willingness of some health-care professionals to continue working in health care, independent of shifts in the demand of their services. To ensure that it continues to be responsive to community needs, and the workforce continues to be capable of delivering positive patient and community outcomes, the sector needs to develop early and proactive strategies to transition to effect positive cultural change. In this review of the literature, we have discussed the COVID-19 pandemic-related effects signal for the global health-care workforce in future is important to consider. Proactive planning and preparation today with an eye to tomorrow are critical; the health of the country's future generations depends on it.
Surgical management of maxillary trauma in pediatric special needs patient using modified cap splint
Authors: Gaur Shivangi , John Rubin S. , Hariharan Asha S.
Published: June 2022

Pediatric maxillofacial trauma is a rare entity, which is primarily the reason for an individual surgeon's inexperience in managing such injuries. More so, maxillary injuries are infrequent. Pediatric maxillofacial injuries are usually a result of blunt force trauma such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, bicycle injuries, sports-related injuries, assault, and child abuse. The atypical pattern of facial injuries in the pediatric population necessitates each surgeon to approach individual cases with a unique and innovative technique of management, while still following the basic principles of surgical management of maxillofacial injuries. Since facial trauma and surgical interventions both have the potential to lead to disturbance in growth and development, management should be as conservative as possible. The foundation of any surgical intervention must be developed keeping in perspective, the future growth, and development of dentofacial structures. Pediatric facial trauma management is in itself a disconcerting situation for a maxillofacial surgeon, but when a special needs child is involved it becomes an even more perplex decision. We present a case of maxillary trauma in a pediatric patient with global developmental delay, the treatment dilemma, and a review of current literature.
Estimation of Fano factor for oversquare HPGe detector
Authors: Manohari M. , Sugumar V. , Mathiyarasu R. , Venkatraman B.
Published: June 2022

Fano factor is a quantity used to measure the departure of the observed variance in the number of charge carriers produced from that predicted using poison statistics. Fano factor varies with the detector type. In case of proportional counters and semiconductor detectors, it is substantially less than unity, whereas, for scintillator detectors, it would be unity. Even in case of semiconductor detectors, it varies with the type and the shape of the detector. Another source of fluctuations that gives the overall resolution of the detector is preamplifier noise. Oversquare coaxial HPGe detectors are a recent development in the field. Literature on the Fano factor of oversquare large volume coaxial detector is not available. In this work, the Fano factor and the electronic noise of an oversquare HPGe coaxial detector are estimated after optimizing the shaping parameters. The Fano factor for the oversquare HPGe detector is estimated as 0.1291 keV, which agrees with the ideal value of 0.13 by 99.98%. The preamplifier noise was found to be 0.048 keV which is 35% lesser than the reported value.
Development of fluorescein-based dosimeter for radiation processing applications
Authors: Mhatre Sachin Gajanan V. , Sathian V. , Chaudhury Probal
Published: June 2022

Dosimetry forms an inseparable part of radiation processing. Many dosimeters are available to cover wide range of doses used in radiation processing. These include the Fricke, ceric-cerous, alanine ESR Alanine (Electron Spin Resonance Technique), dichromate, and radiochromic films. Low-dose radiation processing applications (<2 kGy) such as insect disinfestation, shelf-life extension, and sprout inhibition use imported dosimeters. At present, radiochromic films/waveguides are used for low-dose applications; however, the dosimeters are costly and subject to sanctions and supply restrictions from country of origin. The present work discusses the development of system that can be used as a routine dosimeter for radiation processing facilities in the dose range of 200–2500 Gy. Iodine is generated by the action of radiolysis products of water on iodide and iodate present. Generated iodine halogenates fluorescein to erythrosine with the help of bicarbonate. Increase in absorbance due to the formation of erythrosine can be related to the absorbed dose and used in routine dosimetric applications. As the change is radiochromic, it advantageously provides a visual indication of dose received.

Skin radiation exposure occurs during planned or unplanned radiation events, such as radiotherapy or nuclear radiation accidents, respectively, resulting into acute and chronic effects depending upon the extent of the radiation exposure or contamination. Radioactive nuclide-induced contaminations severely affect the human skin as skin is the largest organ of the body. Skin radioactive contamination may result into radiation-induced burns that may significantly cause morbidity without any medical intervention. In such scenario, it is necessary to provide priority to severe and life-threatening injuries. The current review provides a holistic picture about the mode of occurrence of radiation injuries, types of radiation burns, local skin effects and pathophysiology, prognosis, diagnosis and treatment, and challenges in the management of radiation wounds. Further, the review also includes the dressings used for irradiated wounds and comparison of amniotic and silver dressings, which possess potential bactericidal and wound-healing properties.

Published: June 2022

Objectives:

To determine the socio-demographic and clinical profile of cancer patients developing radiation recall phenomenon or radiation recall dermatitis following chemotherapy administration, previously treated with external irradiation. We assessed its incidence, severity, frequency, differentiation from radio-sensitization and radiation-dermatitis, its correlation with radiation dose and chemotherapeutic agent, and various parameters affecting its occurrence.

Materials and Methods:

This observational prospective study was designed for 1092/2676 (50.2%) patients of histologically proven carcinoma breast, carcinoma lung, lymphomas, chest wall sarcomas, thymomas, thymic carcinomas, nasopharyngeal cancer, bladder carcinoma, rectal cancer, and metastatic cases who received radiation therapy followed by chemotherapy. Intake, treatment, observation, and follow-up were done from July 2014 to July 2021 for 7 years in two tertiary care cancer institutes of government setup.

Results:

In our study, majority of recall phenomena were reported in breast carcinoma 43/71 (60.5%) followed by carcinoma esophagus with 07/71 (9.8%) cases. Females developed 54.9% grade-I/II and 90% grade-III/IV recall cases compared to males with 45.1% and 10% cases, respectively (P = 0.005). Median radiation dose used was 45 Gy (dose range 8–70 Gy) (P = 0.656). Docetaxel resulted in 55% recall cases followed by paclitaxel with 12.7% of cases. Combination therapy reported 71.8% of cases compared to monotherapy with 28.2% of cases. Recall-cases recorded in the time period of 3–4 weeks between radiation and chemotherapy were 59/71 (83%) and those reported in >4 weeks were 12/71 (17%). Time-gap between 3 and 4 weeks reported 49% grade-I/II and 100% grade-III/IV recall-cases while time-gap >4 weeks resulted in 26% and 0% cases respectively (P = 0.000).

Conclusion:

In this study, taxanes and platinum-agents were the most common chemotherapeutic drugs involved in the occurrence of the recall phenomenon. Multi-drug regimens resulted in higher recall cases compared to monotherapy. Radiation dosage did not cause any significant impact. The risk and severity of recall reactions increased with female gender and shorter time-interval between radiation and systemic therapy, while early-onset recall cases displayed greater severity. This precedented but unpredictable phenomenon ceases to be a topic to be discarded in this modern era of highly conformal radiation therapy techniques and targeted cancer therapy.

Evolution of National Approaches to Cyber Warfare
Authors: Karasev P. A.
Published: June 2022

The latest information and communication technologies (ICTs) are increasingly considered by nation-states as a means to project their power and promote national interests. Over the past 20 years the major militarily signifi cant powers have created the doctrinal, logistical and organizational foundations for conducting military activities in the ICT environment and some states have already openly declared the priority of off ensive cyber operations, which increases the risks of crossing “red lines” and inadvertent escalation. The current situation related to the military-political exploitation of the ICT environment predetermines the urgent need for continuous analysis of current trends in this area and the search for approaches to reduce tension, which is the goal of this article. To achieve this goal, the fi rst part of the article considers in detail relevant doctrinal and strategic documents of the United States and other key countries and identifi es certain stages and aspects of evolution of their approaches. Further, the article considers and evaluates factors that infl uence military stability in the ICT environment, taking into account the previously obtained results. It is concluded that the identifi ed factors make the task of developing international frameworks to reduce the escalation in this area uncontested. This task is of particular urgency in the context of general international instability. Analysis of the current international environment in the relevant sphere allows to conclude that international community as a whole and the major players in particular (primarily Russia and the US) are aware of the danger of unintentional escalation in the ICT environment, especially when linked to strategic stability, and are ready to take steps towards developing the framework aimed at regulation and prevention of cyber confl icts. It is very actual now in new political reality but the question mostly is about fi nding the possible format.

Published: June 2022

In classification of classifier analysis, researchers have been worried about the classifier of existing generative and discriminative models in practice for analyzing attributes data. This makes it necessary to give an in-depth, systematic, interrelated, interconnected, and classification of classifier of generative and discriminative models. Generative models of Logistic and Multinomial Logistic regression models and discriminative models of Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) (for attribute P=1 and P>1), Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA) and Naïve Bayes were thoroughly dealt with analytically and mathematically. A step-by-step empirical analysis of the mentioned models were carried-out via chemical analysis of wines grown in a region in Italy that was derived from three different cultivars (The three types of wines that constituted the three different cultivars or three classifiers). Naïve Bayes Classifier set the pace via leading a-prior probabilities.
An Analysis of The White Castle Along with the Theorems of Hegel and Freytag
Authors: ALTUN Ali Erdem
Published: June 2022

In this article, The White Castle by Orhan Pamuk is studied through Gustav Freytag’s Freytag’s Pyramid, and the climax points are located. Throughout the study, the vitality of these climax points is discussed, and argued the extent to which they contribute to the narrative. Determining the climax points of the novel strengthens the analysis done regarding this novel and can reshape the consensus formed in the literature about this book. However, before applying the concept of ‘climax’ to the narrative, an intense literature review was utilized. Therefore, the climax points found through employing Freytag’s Pyramid are measured against the pre-set criteria in the literature about climax points in academic works. This approach eliminated the presence of subjectivity in the study. As an outcome of this research, it is found that the climax points can be the times where the author strengthens his implications towards the notion that Hoca and Kole are creating a dual personality. This way, the criticisms lying beneath the relationship between Hoca and Kole about East and West emerge. It is deduced that the everchanging dynamics between them unveil a means of analysis from a Hegelian perspective. Additionally, the everchanging dynamic unveils the climax points, which are the points that they embody a single individuality, unable to carry on existing without one another.

The features of the new media, such as digitality, interactivity, hypertextuality, virtuality and user-generated content, are important factors for fans to use new media platforms. These football fans, who are the members of platforms that are open to any interactions, behave with a sense of belonging to the teams they support, at the same time they tag other fan groups as “others”. New media provides an online and free atmosphere. Therefore white supremacy, anger and hate spread uncontrollably against others. Although severe punishments were imposed on the fans who share the detection of violent and abusive content in social media with the entry into force of Law Numbered 6222 on Prevention of Violence and Irregularities in Sports Competitions, the fans use the number itself, 6222, as a code and continue to share hateful contents. Therefore, this study aims to detect hate speeches made using both the number 6222 (Law. No. 6222) as a code and specified keywords on Twitter, which is one of the new media platforms, between the period of June 2019 and December 2019 (7 months). The posts of fans were recorded according to specific keywords by using the "Advanced Search" feature of Twitter and then analyzed by following the content analysis method. Besides, the posts that include the code 6222 enabled us to reach more hate speech content. Therefore, the snowball sampling (chain-referral sampling) technique was applied. To ensure the reliability and validity, all posts were coded in the coding scale according to the categories. As a result of this study, the identities and fan groups are targeted by hate speech, and the categories of hate speech are demonstrated in the graphics.

A presença do parceiro no pré-natal traz inúmeros benefícios, porém o racismo institucional é um dos fatores que dificultam e impedem a participação do homem no pré-natal do parceiro. Os objetivos desse estudo foram: descrever o perfil sociodemográfico de homens atendidos pelo programa do pré-natal do parceiro, verificar a adesão ao pré-natal do parceiro de acordo com o quesito raça/cor do participante, e verificar a relação entre o quesito raça/cor e as demais características sociodemográficas. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo. Para a análise dos dados, utiliza-se o software Epi Info, versão 7.0. Participaram deste estudo 42 homens, com idade média de 27,57 anos. A maior porcentagem era de homens com ensino médio completo, que tinham alguma religião, moravam em casa própria, casados e com incentivo da companheira para participar no pré-natal do parceiro.  64,29% dos homens que participavam do programa eram da raça negra. As associações entre o quesito raça/cor e as características sociodemográficas não apresentaram resultados estatisticamente significativos. Os resultados desse estudo contribuem para maior visibilidade da temática de saúde da população masculina em geral e especificamente da população negra, permitindo a reflexão e maior discussão sobre a presença do homem nos serviços de saúde.

Objetivo: analisar os comportamentos promotores de saúde adotados por idosas com osteoporose. Método: estudo qualitativo, realizado com 25 mulheres idosas em um ambulatório especializado em reumatologia. Os dados sociodemográficos e clínicos foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva e as entrevistas através da análise de conteúdo com categorias preestabelecidas a partir do roteiro baseado no Modelo de Promoção da Saúde (MPS) de Nola Pender. Resultados: a idade média das idosas foi de 74,04 anos, dentre as participantes 92% não consomem uma média de 1.200mg/dia de cálcio e 60% das idosas sofreram quedas nos últimos dois anos. Nas entrevistas, as idosas demonstraram não compreender a patologia e desconhecer os fatores que afetam a sua saúde, o que limita o acesso destas a recursos importantes para o autocuidado. Considerações finais: foi possível apreender os comportamentos, melhorar o conhecimento e contribuir para a promoção da saúde de mulheres idosas que vivem com osteoporose.

There is a very steep increase in heart stroke at the early age, we have to find out something that will help us to detect the symptoms of heart disease at the starting age and prevent people from finding out about their disease at the last stage. It is not an easy task for a common people to go to hospital frequently and go through costly tests which include ECG and for the same reason we should have some software which is easily accessible and cheap and time saving in predicting the heart disease. So, we plan on develop a website application which will predict the heart disease with the help of symptoms and different body parameters which relates to heart. So, we use machine learning algorithm preferably naïve base algorithm which gives the most accurate result and hence we have used it in the proposed model.

La literatura académica tiene décadas de abordar el concepto y contexto que engloba la contabilidad ambiental, con lo cual, exige un monitoreo riguroso y continuo de su evidencia científica. El objetivo del manuscrito fue analizar la producción científica mundial relacionada con la contabilidad medioambiental a fin de evaluar el contexto y el comportamiento de sus contribuciones, viabilizando así la planificación y ejecución de futuras investigaciones. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica utilizando la base de datos de Web of Science. Se identificaron un total de 299 documentos publicados, la modalidad de publicación, los países mayormente productivos, las revistas científicas, las instituciones más productivas e indicadores de citación e impacto. Se encontró que Australia ocupa el primer lugar con 50 documentos publicados. A su vez, se identifica a Victoria University Wellington como la institución que presenta mayor liderazgo respecto al número de publicaciones. El número total de citas de todas las publicaciones fue de 11.411. Se puede concluir que existe un crecimiento exponencial de la producción científica, siendo la última década la de mayor producción, destacando países como Australia, Estados Unidos e Inglaterra, donde las publicaciones tuvieron un impacto relativamente alto al estar alojados en revistas de cuartil (Q1 y Q2) del Scimago Journal Rank.
