EXPLORING THE CLINICALAND ETIOLOGICAL SPECTRUM OF INFANTILE SPASMS: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY
Authors: Gurjar Ramswaroop , Sitaraman S. , Sharma Neha
Published: July 2023

Background: Infantile spasm (IS) is a severe epilepsy disorder that primarily affects infants and young children, often occurring in combination with West syndrome. It is considered a true Epileptic Encephalopathy and was rst described by West in 1841. IS is characterized by sudden, symmetric exion and/or extension of the body, and it can involve both exor and extensor spasms. The incidence of IS is rare, affecting approximately 1.6 to 4.5 per 10,000 live births annually, with an average age of onset between 3 and 7 months. The gender distribution of IS shows conicting results, with some studies suggesting a slightly higher prevalence in males. Methods: The study aimed to investigate the clinical and etiological aspects of infantile spasms in a tertiary care center. The goal was to facilitate early diagnosis and determine if there are preventable causes for IS. The study utilized a retrospective analysis of patient data to examine the clinico-etiological spectrum of IS. Results:The incidence of IS is rare, and the age of onset varies from the rst week of life to 4.5 years. Various underlying causes contribute to the development of IS, including neurocutaneous syndromes, metabolic disorders, cortical malformations, perinatal brain injuries, postnatal infections, head trauma, and genetic defects. The pathophysiology of IS is still not fully understood, with theories suggesting nonspecic insults during critical brain development or abnormalities in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Conclusion: In resource limited coutntries like India, we can reduce the burden of IS and it's treatment expences by reducing its own incidence by discovering of its causes which are mainly preventable causess like Perinatal asphyxia and hypoglycemia. So we can decrease in incidence of IS by indirectly reducing in these causes.Infantile spasms require prompt diagnosis and treatment. Hormonal therapy with corticotropin, ACTH, or steroids is the rst-line treatment option. Surgical options may be considered for refractory cases with structural abnormalities or neurodevelopmental regression. Early diagnosis and treatment are associated with better treatment response and improved developmental outcomes. However, the diagnosis and treatment of IS are often delayed, and the impact of etiology on treatment outcomes requires further research
Optical transmittance based store and forward routing in satellite networks
Authors: Mihály András , Bacsárdi László
Published: July 2023

Quantum computing will play a crucial part in our security infrastructure for the coming years. Quantum networks can consist of direct optical fiber or free-space links. With the use of satellite channels, we can create a quantum network with higher coverage than using optical fibers where the distances are limited due to the properties of the fiber. One of the highest drivers of cost for satellite networks, apart from the cost of the technology needed for such systems, are the costs of launching and maintaining said satellites. By minimizing the satellites needed for a well-functioning quantum network, we can decrease said network’s cost, thus enabling a cheaper quantum internet. In this paper, we present an optical transmittance-based routing algorithm with which it is possible to conduct successful quantum entanglement transfer between terrestrial nodes.
An SDN controller-based framework for anomaly detection using a GAN ensemble algorithm
Authors: Ezeh Dubem A. , de Oliveira Jaudelice
Published: July 2023

Of recent, a handful of machine learning techniques have been proposed to handle the task of intrusion detection with algorithms taking charge; these algorithms learn, from traffic flow examples, to distinguish between benign and anomalous network events. In this paper, we explore the use of a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) ensemble to detect anomalies in a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) environment using the Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) testbed over geographically separated instances. A controllerbased framework is proposed, comprising several components across the detection chain. A bespoke dataset is generated, addressing three of the most popular contemporary network attacks and using an SDN perspective. Evaluation results show great potential for detecting a wide array of anomalies.

Published: July 2023

The aim: To determine the dental status and state of local immunity in young adults who have suffered from the coronavirus disease.
Materials and methods: The main group consisted of 30 people aged 20-22 years, who suffered from the coronavirus infection Covid19 6.1±1.2 months ago. The comparison group included 20 people who did not have a coronavirus infection. The control group consisted of 35 people, randomized by age and sex, who did not have signs of caries and periodontal tissue disease and did not have coronavirus disease. All patients were examined for dental status and local immunity.
Results: The analysis of indicators of dental status revealed the possibility of the existence of a relationship between the signs of acute SARS-Cov2 viral infection and the development of caries and periodontal tissue diseases. Significant changes in the local immunity of the oral cavity were found in the examined patients, which had a pathogenetic influence on the development and progression of caries and periodontal tissue diseases: a significant increase in the level of Ig G, as well as a probable decrease in the concentration of SIg A relative to the comparison group, a probably higher normative value of pathogenic small- and medium-molecular CICs with a significant decrease in the level of physiological large-sized CICs relative to the comparison group, a decrease in the content of anti-inflammatory IL-4, as well as increased concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Conclusions: Young adults who have suffered a coronavirus infection during the last 6 months have significantly higher caries prevalence, bleeding index, PMA index and hygiene index, halitosis, which indicates deeper tissue damage and tooth pathology with the formation of dentition defects than in the comparison group. Indicators of local immunity of the oral fluid have a deep and specific character.
Deformation of large stones masonry.
Authors: Obozov V. I. , Ponomarev O. I. , Ivanova A. Yu.
Published: July 2023

Introduction. The paper investigates the stress-strain state of masonry walls made of large ceramic stones with dry vertical tongue and groove joints.

Aim: to study the distribution of vertical stresses in masonry of large ceramic stones with vertical tongue and groove joints not filled with mortar.

Materials and methods. The study was performed on the model of the wall section. Numerical study of the stress state of the wall masonry at a concentrated load was carried out for masonry with chain bond. The wall fragment was modeled by solid finite elements.

Results. It was found that under a concentrated load, the deformable zone has the form of a triangle with a vertex under load and expanding as it moves away from the load point. Based on the studies conducted, the authors of the paper have proposed an approximate method for determining compression stresses in masonry stones with chain bond. When the load is concentrated, the zone of distribution of compressive stresses in the masonry has the form of a triangle. The study established the characteristics of the distribution of compressive stresses in chain masonry of walls made of large stones with dry vertical joints at a concentrated load.

Conclusions. The study shows that the existing methods of calculating solid masonry are not suitable for calculating masonry with dry vertical tongue and groove joints because the latter comprise a discrete-continual system.

Cet article l’examine à propos de la tradition ecclésiale réformée française. Une observation issue du terrain indique que la liturgie est considérée comme reçue. Cela conduit à porter un regard historique mettant l’accent sur trois époques, le XVIe, le XIXe et le XXe siècles. Ce parcours indique que la pratique est le produit d’héritages régulièrement reconfigurés et habités par des personnes qui contribuent à leur réception et à leur évolution.
Quanta sit caritas patriae. Sens et formes de l’appartenance à la Cité entre chrétiens et païens de l’Antiquité tardive à la lumière de la correspondance entre Augustin d’Hippone et Nectarius de Calama
Authors: Nsiri Mohamed-Arbi
Published: July 2023

Écrite entre 408 et 409 dans l’effervescence d’une forte résistance païenne à une christianisation accélérée, la correspondance entre Augustin d’Hippone et Nectarius de Calama est un concentré de problématiques néoplatoniciennes qui tournent autour des formes et des sens de l’appartenance à la Cité (terrestre), de la justice et du bonheur. S’y ajoute un débat de type théologique autour des significations de la Cité céleste, de dieu et du pardon. Grâce à ces quatre lettres qui font parler en même temps un évêque et un « sage » bien instruit, nous pouvons approcher davantage la mentalité des élites africaines païenne et chrétienne de l’époque romaine tardive.
La parenté trans devant la Cour EDH : vers de nouvelles limites au changement de sexe ?
Authors: Brunet Laurence , Mesnil Marie
Published: July 2023

Alors que la Cour EDH a été motrice dans la reconnaissance de l’identité de genre des personnes trans en Europe et la protection de leur intégrité corporelle, elle marque le pas lorsqu’il s’agit de reconnaître, dans le respect de leur identité, la parenté des personnes trans ayant contribué biologiquement à la conception d’un enfant. Les États membres semblent laissés libres d’établir la filiation, paternelle ou maternelle, en fonction de l’implication biologique du parent dans la procréation et de dissocier ainsi le genre de la parenté de la mention du sexe à l’état civil. Ces décisions ne peuvent manquer d’interroger sur la manière dont la lecture biologisante de la filiation, que la Cour EDH n’a cessé de promouvoir, vient limiter la portée du changement de mention de sexe à l’état civil.
Conceptualizing the Emerging Field of Different Learning Environment Theories Using DEMATEL Method
Authors: Nirmala Shivram Padmavat
Published: July 2023

The controlling value theory of emotions' applicability to distance learning settings is examined in this discussion. The control value theory served as the theoretical foundation for four of the empirical research in this special issue of Net and Higher Education, and it was implicit in numerous others. As a result, we looked at each essay's emotional expression, emotional antecedents, and educational outcomes in relation to the management science of emotions. The findings of these research generally concur with those of conventional classrooms, indicating that there aren't many emotional distinctions between face-to-face classroom setting and "online learning environments". The fact that control and value judgements consistently serve as antecedents of particular emotions, despite the fact that students' learning settings varied significantly, may be a major factor in the similarities in emotions that have been found. We conclude with suggestions for additional study. In several disciplines, the "Decision-Making Test and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL)" approach is used to pinpoint crucial elements of straightforward systems. Although DEMATEL has undergone significant improvement, they are still best suited for simple systems and are unable to address decision-making issues in complicated systems. The main goal of this paper is to offer a hierarchical DEMATEL approach for complicated systems with many system components, several forms of impacts, and hierarchy. In contrast to horizontal decomposition, which deals with the presence of numerous types of influencing factors, and vertical decomposition, which deals with the presence of several key dimensions and hierarchy, hierarchies’ decomposition was initially developed to provide a framework for standardizing the DEMATEL dilemma of complex systems. To create direct operating (IDR) matrices for each element in each subsystem, a direct influence assessment is suggested. A hyper IDR matrix is then specified and created by merging the IDR matrices throughout all pairs all subsystems starting at the lowest level. a high rate of turnover. Online learning, e-learning, distributed learning, e-learning and distributed learning, e-learning & online learning, and any other learning contexts. Different learning environment in Distance learning (A1) is got sixth rank, e-Learning(A2) is got seventh rank, Online learning(A3) is got fifth rank, Distance learning and e-Learning (A4) is got fourth rank, Distance learning and online learning (A5) is got first rank, e-Learning and online learning (A6) is got second rank and All learning environments (A7) is got third rank.

Authors: Jiménez Quintana Paulina , González García Héctor , Leyva Cordero Oswaldo
Published: July 2023

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo la creación y desarrollo de un nuevo indicador socioeconómico, como una forma de valorar el desarrollo global sustentable de los países. Para lograr este propósito se analizaron con fundamento científico el agrupamiento y desarrollo de cinco variables cuantitativas de medición sobre el capital natural y el capital humano. Las variables fueron: el índice de desempeño ambiental -EPI, la innovación -GII, la creatividad -GCI1 y el emprendimiento -GEM y el Green Country Index en 105 países del mundo, mediante una clasificación global regional. Este análisis estadístico fue desarrollado a través del procedimiento de regresión lineal múltiple, en donde se obtuvo un indicador específico del valor grupal de las variables estudiadas. Como resultado de esta investigación, se concluye que el capital natural se presenta como un indicador que ha tenido un mayor impacto en la gran mayoría de los países del análisis. Por otro lado, el capital humano muestra que la innovación y el emprendimiento representan las variables que poseen mayor importancia sobre la sociedad. Sin embargo, la creatividad es una variable que aún no se establece como un recurso en la sociedad que tiene la capacidad de incidir de manera positiva en el desarrollo social y la eficiencia de la economía verde.

Published: July 2023

Chili, mustard greens, and tomatoes have always been farmers' favored crops, despite their high water and labor demands. Adapt to these conditions by utilizing smart agriculture systems (SAS) agricultural techniques that involve technology such as automatic irrigation that regulates watering based solely on routine, regardless of land conditions. This type of control during the transitional season can lead to root rot and fungisarium disease on chile plants. In the form of an embedded system with internet of things (IoT) monitoring, a system incorporating artificial intelligence such as fuzzy logic is proposed as a solution. Fuzzy logic will regulate irrigation based on the land's humidity and temperature using computational mathematics. Beginning with the fuzzyification stage to map the sensor's temperature and humidity input values, fuzzy logic is applied. The creation of an inference engine in the NodeMcu 8266 microcontroller to interpret fuzzy rule statements in the form of aggregation of minimum conditions with the AND operator, followed by the combination of a single set value of 0 and 1 in the fuzzy system to produce an appropriate actuator response After the entire system has been prototyped, testing is conducted to determine the responsiveness of the fuzzy program code to changes in the simulated agricultural cultivation land ecosystem. This study found that the fuzzy logic program code embedded in the nodeMCU8266 microcontroller effectively controls the spraying duration of the pump in response to various simulated environmental conditions within 3.6 seconds.

Published: July 2023

Este artículo explora, desde una perspectiva histórica, la trayectoria de militarización en el Estado salvadoreño para interpretar la militarización que ocurre en la actualidad. Los Acuerdos de Paz de 1992 fueron un intento de ruptura con el militarismo, pero los sucesivos gobiernos fueron erosionando dichos acuerdos. Nayib Bukele continuó esa tendencia y la profundizó. En un intento de apuntalarse en el poder dando una solución definitiva al enfrentamiento entre las maras y el Estado salvadoreño, sus principales estrategias refuerzan el militarismo con número de efectivos, presupuesto, atribuciones de seguridad pública a las fuerzas armadas, suspensión de los derechos mediante un estado de excepción y la mayor tasa de encarcelados del planeta.

Authors: Alegría Gómez Federico Daniel
Published: July 2023

En el marco de la investigación “Violencia estructural y COVID-19”, se examinó la presentación fotográfica de las personas en situación de vulnerabilidad por aislamiento y recuperación de la enfermedad. El uso de fotografías en las redes sociales de internet no sustituye a los modos de interacción social, sino que los amplía. En este contexto, las plataformas sociales de mensajería privada ofrecen un canal a través del cual las personas se presentan más cómodamente ante sus audiencias. Las imágenes examinadas acompañan a una entrevista semiestructurada que sirvió para recuperar la experiencia sanitaria de los participantes. Las preguntas relacionadas con las fotografías exploraron: (a) presencia en las redes sociales en internet, (b) comportamientos sobre contenido visual, (c) medios de comunicación utilizados durante el aislamiento u hospitalización y (d) autointerpretaciones de artefactos visuales compartidos durante la enfermedad. Sobre la práctica del autorretrato, se detectó un equilibrio entre las personas que hicieron uso de la fotografía para presentarse ante sus seres queridos y demás conocidos, y las personas que no hicieron uso de la fotografía durante el proceso de hospitalización. Al reencontrarse con sus fotografías, surgieron varios sentimientos que sugieren felicidad luego de la recuperación. Además, las personas recuerdan claramente cómo se sentían al momento de hacerse los autorretratos examinados.

Published: July 2023

A busca por terapias adjuvantes para o tratamento da periodontite tem aumentado, com destaque para investigação dos probióticos. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da administração do Kombucha (KB) fermentado em chá verde (CV) naperiodontite experimental (PE) em ratos. 60 ratos Wistar foram distribuídos em dois sets com 5 grupos (n=6): PE; CV; KB4, KB8 e KB12 (KB com 4, 8 ou 12 dias de fermentação). A hemimaxila direita do grupo PE foi definida como controle. Os animais receberam KB ou CV (5ml/kg) por gavagem 28 dias antes da indução da PE e durante o curso da doença, até a eutanásia (39º dia). Foram coletadas hemimaxilas, rins, fígados, intestinos e sangue. Das hemimaxilas, metade foi utilizada para avaliação de perda óssea alveolar (POA) e densidade radiográfica óssea (DRO), e a outra metade para análises histopatológicas junto das demais estruturas. CV e os grupos KB apresentaram menor POA em relação ao grupo PE. Na DRO, CV e KB4 obtiveram menores variações em relação a PE. No histomorfométrico, CV e KB apresentaram menor área de perda óssea e de infiltrado inflamatório quando comparados a PE. Nas análises hepáticas e renais, KB não provocou danos teciduais irreversíveis ao fígado ou rim, enquanto CV apresentou aumento dos níveis de hepatotoxicidade. Ademais, a ingestão de KB aumentou presença de células mucosas intestinais. Conclui-se que o KB não apresenta toxicidade sistêmica e reduz a POA na periodontite em ratos.

An Overview of The Implementation Status and Development Path of China's Policy on The Integration of Medical Care and Elderly Care
Authors: Qi Yuzhen
Published: July 2023

At present, the aging trend of China's population is accelerating, but there is still a particular mismatch in the level of medical care for the aging trend. The medical team and rehabilitation are independent of each other. If you are sick, you have to go back and forth frequently between your family, hospital, and rehabilitation institution, which delays treatment and increases the financial burden on family members. The separation of medical care and rehabilitation has also led to many elderly patients who have recovered from serious illnesses or need long-term recuperation and will find various reasons to refuse to leave the hospital once they are admitted to the hospital. Therefore, the development of the integration of medical care and nursing needs to be accelerated. At present, several comparative paradigms of medical and elderly care integration models have initially formed in various parts of China: "institutional", "community", and "home" and other integrated medical and elderly care models. According to the research, in the process of practice, there are still imperfections in the integration of medical care and elderly care, such as supply and demand, service, supervision, and institutional cooperation, which can be improved by improving the supervision system, integrating medical care resources, standardizing industry standards, and cultivating service personnel.

The recent surge in car numbers has led to a dramatic increase in gridlock. Due to this, several individuals have perished while ambulances did not arrive in time. The primary goal of any rescue vehicle is to get there as fast as possible without compromising safety. Every second lost waiting at a red light or stuck in traffic decreases the likelihood of making it to safety. Because of this, it is crucial that emergency vehicles, such as ambulances, be given signal priority so that they may move quickly through congested areas. The reaction time of rescue vehicles is decreased and traffic flow is enhanced thanks to this innovation.
Des-armando el Tardío: variaciones en puntas de proyectil, boleadoras, raspadores, raederas y sus materias primas en momentos pre y postcontacto en Patagonia Meridional

Published: July 2023

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del análisis bibliográfico realizado sobre frecuencias de bolas, raspadores, raederas y puntas de proyectil en el registro arqueológico estratificado del Holoceno tardío de Patagonia Meridional. El objetivo final es observar si existen diferencias entre estos artefactos en los momentos pre y post contacto (1520). Se identifican, además, los tipos de materias primas utilizados con el objetivo de evaluar si existieron variaciones que puedan ser relacionadas con cambios en la organización tecnológica y en las estrategias de caza de los grupos cazadores recolectores producto de la introducción de nuevos recursos animales y materiales europeos. El área bajo estudio está comprendida entre Sur del río Deseado hasta la costa Norte del Estrecho de Magallanes. Para ello se relevaron los datos publicados en tres revistas (Relaciones, Intersecciones y Magallania – intervalo 1931/2016- ) y en las actas de las Jornadas de Arqueología de Patagonia (desde su inicio hasta 2017), que se sumaron a una base de datos sobre sitios arqueológicos postcontacto ya existente. El resultado final se complementa con los datos ya obtenidos que soportan la hipótesis de que en momentos post contacto habría una coexistencia entre distintas estrategias de caza dependiendo de los espacios en los que se realiza la actividad.

Introducción: Los estudios poblacionales describen que el sexo tiene un efecto profundo en la epidemiologia de la enfermedad renal. El objetivo del presente estudio fue describir el perfil epidemiológico y clínico de mujeres con enfermedad renal ingresadas en la unidad de cuidados críticos que ameritaron terapia renal sustitutiva.

Métodos: Estudio descriptivo observacional de corte transversal realizado en el Hospital Nacional de la Mujer en la ciudad de San Salvador entre los años 2017 a 2021. La muestra fue no probabilística.

Resultados: El rango de edad más frecuente de pacientes es entre los 21 a 30 años representando el 46% de la población. El 76% de las pacientes ingresadas en el estudio tenían patologia obstétrica mientras que el 24% únicamente tenían patologia ginecológica. En cuanto a patologías crónicas presentes al momento de iniciar la TRR, el 28% no tenía patologías crónicas preexistentes; en el resto de la población, la patología renal estuvo presente en 45% del total de casos siendo esta la predominante sobre otros diagnósticos.

Conclusión: En el sexo femenino las patologías ginecológicas y obstétricas tanto en presencia como en ausencia de enfermedad renal conocida se asocian con una alta tasa de necesidad de terapia de reemplazo renal.
