A miniaturized microstrip-fed, wideband and circularly polarized L-shaped slot antenna is designed for ultra-wideband applications. To realize L-shaped slot antenna with wide impedance bandwidth, a stub of size 10.7 mm2 is added to a rectangular shaped slot of the ground plane. The position of the feedline is optimized to attain wide circular polarization bandwidth. The proposed antenna size is very small i.e., 25×25 mm2. A prototype of the design is fabricated and measured. The axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW< 3 dB) of 2.2 GHz (from 6.2 GHz to 8.4 GHz) and the impedance bandwidth (S11<-10 dB) of 7.4 GHz (from 2.5 GHz to 9.9 GHz) is achieved by the proposed design. Moreover, the antenna achieves a stable radiation pattern and a gain of more than 2.8 dBi over the complete ARBW. The advantages of the structure are miniaturized design, having wide impedance bandwidth, and broad ARBW.

The article numerically solves the problem of a swirling two-phase flow in a separator using the Menter model (SST) and Spalart-Allmaras (SA). The computational domain, which consists of coaxial cylinders and a conical part, is reduced to a rectangular shape by a change of coordinates. The stream function and vorticity of the flow are introduced, the first equation for which is solved by the upper relaxation method and the “upstream” scheme is used to solve the second of them. To describe the motion of solid particles with a low concentration, we use the Logrange approach.The numerical results of applying both turbulence models are compared.

Music in an essential part of life and the emotion carried by it is key to its perception and usage. Music Emotion Recognition (MER) is the task of identifying the emotion in musical tracks and classifying them accordingly. The objective of this research paper is to check the effectiveness of popular machine learning classifiers like XGboost, Random Forest, Decision Trees, Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest-Neighbour (KNN) and Gaussian Naive Bayes on the task of MER. Using the MIREX-like dataset [17] to test these classifiers, the effects of oversampling algorithms like Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) [22] and Random Oversampling (ROS) were also verified. In all, the Gaussian Naive Bayes classifier gave the maximum accuracy of 40.33%. The other classifiers gave accuracies in between 20.44% and 38.67%. Thus, a limit on the classification accuracy has been reached using these classifiers and also using traditional musical or statistical metrics derived from the music as input features. In view of this, deep learning-based approaches using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) [13] and spectrograms of the music clips for MER is a promising alternative.

O aproveitamento dos resíduos florestais como fonte energética é uma opção para melhor aproveitamento de recursos renováveis e uma estratégia de substituição de combustíveis fósseis. Contudo esses resíduos precisam ser melhorados para essa função, e a compactação da biomassa é uma forma de aumentar a qualidade desse material para fins energéticos. O objetivo do trabalho foi produzir briquetes de dois resíduos dos processamentos da madeira de Pinus spp., serragem e licor negro, e avaliar as diferentes proporções de licor negro nos briquetes (0, 5, 10 e 15%). Para avaliação dos briquetes foram realizados os testes de expansão, densidade aparente, friabilidade, análise química imediata, poder calorífico superior e densidade energética. O aumento do percentual de licor negro provocou melhora nas expansões lateral e volumétrica, na densidade aparente, no teor de materiais voláteis e no teor de carbono fixo, contudo não foram encontrados ganhos na friabilidade, na expansão em altura e nas características energéticas dos briquetes.

Published: December 2019

Visual Merchandising is the art of displaying merchandise in a manner that is appealing to the eyes of the
customer. It sets the framework of the merchandise in an aesthetically pleasing fashion, presenting them
in a way that would convert the window shoppers into prospects and ultimately buyers of the product. Visual merchandising
includes window displays, signs, interior displays, cosmetic promotions and any other special sales promotions taking place. Of
all the elements integrated within visual merchandising, window displays are often the most direct in attracting potential new
customers. They are usually the rst point of visual contact a consumer has with a store and the preliminary step of the retail
experience. Attention-grabbing and appealing window displays can easily be the difference between a consumer coming into
the store to view more or walking by. This study attempts to explore the importance of window display in visual merchandising.

Published: December 2019

BACKGROUND- Since ancient times, labour inducton is a well established obstetric concept. In the past
few decades, rate of labour induction has increased dramatically. The primary objective of this study was
to compare the efcacy of transcervical foley catheter with intracervical dinoprostone gel for cervical ripening and labour
induction in term singleton pregnancies with unfavourable cervix.
METHODS- Term singleton pregnancies fullling inclusion criteria were randomized by chit box system to receive intracervical
dinoprostone or transcervical foley catheter. Progress of labour was monitored with the help of partogram. Labour
augmentation was done by oxytocin.
RESULTS- 110 patients in each group were enrolled. Group A was induced with transcervical Foley catheter and group B with
dinoprostone gel. Baseline characteristics like maternal age, parity, gestational age were comparable in each group. There
was a signicant difference in the Bishop's score (<.0.05) at the end of 12 hours, Group B showing a greater improvement than
A. A signicant difference was also observed in the requirement of augmentation with Pitocin, 77.27% in foley group and
63.63% in dinoprostone group . Although, there was no signicant difference observed in the mode of delivery (p>0.05) and
induction to delivery time interval (p>0.05) , maternal and neonatal morbidity between the groups.
CONCLUSION- To conclude, Dinoprostone is associated with rapid cervical ripening . Although, mean induction to delivery
interval and number of vaginal deliveries were comparable between the groups. Moreover, cost and safety prole of foley
catheter makes it comparable or even superior to dinoprostone gel for cervical ripening and induction of labour, especially in
developing countries.

POPULATION
Authors: V Mahadevan , P Jaisankar
Published: December 2019

BACKGROUND: Transradial artery access for coronary intervention procedures is a safe and beneficial technique1.
The safety aspects are well established in young individuals2. Elderly patients have been considered as a higher risk
due to increased vascular tortuosity,calcifications and other access site related complications in comparison to younger
individuals3. This study was done to assess the feasibility, efficacy and safety of transradial coronary angiography or
intervention in the elderly.
MATERIALS & METHODS:This study was conducted in the department of Cardiology,Chengalpattu Medical College
Hospital in patients admitted coronary angiogram either for acute coronary syndrome or chronic stable angina during
the period from November 2018 to April 2019. A total of 149 patients who underwent coronary angiography/
intervention through radial artery access were studied. Patients were divided into elderly population with age at or
above 65 years (n = 24) & non elderly with age less than (n=125).Most of the patients who underwent procedure in both
the groups are for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) than chronic stable angina (CSA) ,elderly arm (ACS vs.CSA – 91.6%
vs.8.3%) & non elderly arm (ACS vs.CSA – 90.4% vs 9.6%).The two groups of population were analyzed with respect to
complications such as vascular site bleeding,stroke,procedural time & access site cross over.
RESULTS: The mean age was 72 ± 3.3 years in the elderly group and 49 ± 5.3 years in the non-elderly group. Baseline
serum creatinine values were slightly elevated in elderly arm.The procedural time was higher in elderly arm than non
elderly arm both in diagnostic (16 min 20 secs vs.2 min 45secs) as well as in interventional (41min 32 secs vs.19 min 18
secs)procedures. But the volume of contrast utilized is same in both arms with average of 40ml vs 42ml in elderly vs.non
elderly arm respectively. Occurrence of puncture site bleeding or occlusion of radial artery showed no difference
between two arms. The procedure completion was equally safe in both elderly and non elderly group (85 % vs.86% ).
Access site cross over rate due to vessel tortuosity was higher in elderly arm (8% vs.1.5%) where as vasospasm was less
in elderly compared to non elderly group (2.4% vs 7%). No case of thrombotic or bleeding risk or stroke were seen in
both the arm.
CONCLUSION: Transradial coronary angiography or intervention is safe and complication rates are comparable with
those in non elderly patients.Procedural time for the completion of procedure is high in elderly than in non elderly due to
tortuous vessel anatomy,difficulty in engaging the coronary artery & operator efficacy etc.

Every child is unique. Education aims at bringing all-round development in the personality of the child irrespective of
the uniqueness in their characteristics. In the process of development of the child's personality there are many factors
that influence the life of the child.The parents have the primary responsibility to influence the child,because they are the
role models that the children look up to at all stages of their life. As the child reach the adolescent stage, significant
changes take place in adolescents' relationships with parents. It is at this stage that the parents should try their best to
relate well with their children so that the children will not turn to their peers for advice and guidance.This study attempts
to examine parent-child relationship in different dimensions of both parent factors of the adolescent learners in Lower
Subansiri District of Arunachal Pradesh.A sample of 1146 adolescent learners of Classes IX to XII was selected form the
Government Schools of the District.The Parent-Child Relationship Scale (PCRS) developed by Dr.NaliniRao (2005) was
administered to the selected sample. The findings revealed that there is a significant difference between male and
female adolescent learners in different dimensions of father-child relationship and mother-child relationship.

The knowledge of 'Ayurveda' came from Lord 'Brahma'.The original form of Ayurveda was incorporated in 'Astanga
Ayurveda'.The 'Astanga Samgraha' was written by Vagbhata,which gives clear evidence regarding existence of 'Damstra'
'Visa Vairodhikam' 'Agadatantra' is also an important branch among them which deals with the diseases and treatment
due to poison. In Ayurveda, it has been mentioned vividly with the concept of various Antidotes and their use in the
treatment of different types of poisoning. In 'Astanga Samgraha' the knowledge or concept regarding 'Damstra'/'Agada
Tantra' is mentioned scattered.So that,it will be hard for someone to find the matters according to his needs.It is an era of
super specialization and advanced techniques,so it is very necessary that 'Ayurveda' also be updated keeping similarity
with,the changing time and need of the people.In my present work,I have collected all the concepts of 'Agadatantra' from
all parts of 'Astanga samgraha' and arranged the matters in the form of Trisutra.

Introduction. Chronic and latent infections are often activated during pregnancy.Aim - to asses the pathogenetic role of microbial pathogens in urogenital tract infection (UTI) in pregnant women.Materials and methods. 89 pregnant women underwent general clinical examination, examination of smears from urethra, vagina, cervical canal; bacteriological analysis of vaginal contents; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, polymerase chain reaction and determination of specific antibodies for verification of herpes simplex virus (HSV) type I and II, cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr (EBV) and UTI pathogens in pregnant women in blood and mucosal scrapes.Results. Prevalence of Herpesviridae was revealed (90-100% -EBV, HSV type I and II, CMV); in 41% of cases - bacterial pathogens, in 57% of cases - Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma.Discussion. In preterm birth and pregnancy termination mycoplasma and ureaplasma were more often revealed, and in pregnancy termination - association of HSV type I and II in comparison with urgent birth; in the last equally often - HSV type I and association of HSV type I and II; in urgent birth (infection) more often - HSV type I, than association of HSV type I and II; in preterm birth more often - HSV type I, than the association of HSV types I and II, and less often than combination of HSV type I and association of HSV types I and II in pregnancy termination; in the last, the association of HSV types I and II is more common than HSV type I. Increase of TLRs genes expression levels depends on HSV type I less than from association of HSV types I and II, less than from combination of HSV type I and association of HSV types I and II (it determines the clinical manifestations of genital herpes).Conclusion. Microbial pathogens determine the character of pregnancy course, and HSV types I and II- are the triggers of the infectious process, prognosing its course.

Introduction. Influenza is a severe viral disease. The most common post-influenza complication is pneumonia. Earlier, we developed an experimental mouse model of viralbacterial pneumonia induced by successive infection with influenza virus and St. aureus, in which lethal synergy between pathogens observed in epidemiological observations was detected.Aim. To study the effect of the administration of intranasal vaccines, followed by infection with St. pneumoniae on the development and completion of the disease.Materials and methods. The animals were immunized intranasal with a strain of attenuated cold-adapted live influenza vaccine A/17/California/2009/38 (H1N1)pdm09 (LAIV) and a recombinant vaccine based on virus-like particles HA(Puerto Rico/8/34)- Gag (VLPs). Control groups of animals were infected with virulent strains of influenza virus A/ California/04/2009 (H1N1)pdm09 or A/Puerto Rico /8/34 (H1N1). On the fifth day after intranasal immunization with the vaccine preparations and infection with pathogenic strains, animals were subjected to bacterial infection with a strain of St. pneumoniae. The presence of synergism of vaccine or viral agent with bacterial infection was assessed by survival and weight loss of animals, virus titer and density of bacteria in nasopharyngeal washes and lungs.Results. It was shown that immunization with vaccine preparations did not lead to increased sensitivity of mice to bacterial infection. Elimination of bacteria from the lungs and nasopharynx in groups immunized with vaccine preparations corresponded to the dynamics in the group of animals immunized by PBS.Discussion. The results obtained indicate the safety of intranasal immunization with LAIV A/17/California/2009/38 (H1N1)pdm09 and virus-like particles HA (Puerto Rico/8/34)- Gag (VLPs) in terms of enhancing secondary bacterial superinfection caused by St. pneumoniae.Conclusion. The studied vaccines successfully blocked infections in the lower respiratory tract.

The aim of the work was to study the activity of echinochrome A, a naphthoquinoid pigment from sea urchins, and its antioxidant composition against herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) in vitro and in vivo.Materials and methods. Strain HSV-2 (G ATCC VR-734) was grown in Vero cells. The cytotoxic and anti-HSV-2 activity of the compounds was assessed in vitro by the cell viability and by cytopathic effect inhibition of virus using MTT test. The efficacy of compounds in mice model of vaginitis caused by HSV-2 was determined by the average lifetime, body weight and viral load changes.Results and discussion. The antioxidant composition (echinochrome A, ascorbic acid and α-tocopherol (5:5:1)), showed a higher antiviral efficacy than echinochrome A alone. Oral administration of the antioxidant composition protected 90% of the infected mice against death and reduced vaginal viral loads. The antiviral activity of echinochrome A and the antioxidant composition is probably due to the virus-inhibiting activity of the compounds and their antioxidant properties.Conclusion. The results obtained allow considering the tested compounds as promising agents with antiviral properties.

Authors: Castrillón-Duque Elizabeth X. , Cardona-Maya Walter D.
Published: December 2019

Introducción: las infecciones del tracto urogenital son una de las causas más frecuentes durante las consultas por infertilidad masculina. Comúnmente se evalúan aquellas causadas por bacterias y virus, mientras que las producidas por hongos han sido subvaloradas; sin embargo, en las últimas décadas su frecuencia ha aumentado. Objetivo: describir algunas micosis del tracto urogenital masculino y su posible efecto sobre la fertilidad. Materiales y métodos: se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura publicada sobre las micosis del tracto urogenital masculino y la fertilidad en las bases de datos PubMed, ScienceDirect, SciELO, Redalyc, Springer y Google Académico. Resultados: se encontraron un total de 3.426 publicaciones que hablaban sobre el tema. Entre la información revisada se comprobó que el 90% de las micosis reportadas en el tracto urogenital masculino son ocasionadas por Candida spp., Aspergillus spp., Cryptococcus spp. y Coccidioides spp., microorganismos que podrían ser los causantes de uretritis, balanopostitis, úlceras, pseudotumores, orquitis y prostatitis; además de afectar negativamente la calidad espermática, lo que causa alteraciones en la fecundación. Conclusiones: las infecciones fúngicas del tracto urogenital pueden desatar infertilidad, que si se tratan correctamente disminuirán la diseminación, morbilidad y mortalidad a causa de estos microrganismos.
Política das Migrações, Violência Estrutural e HIV/Aids / Migration Policy, Structural Violence and HIV/AIDS
Authors: Sacramento Octávio
Published: December 2019

Considerando o atual cenário político das migrações internacionais, o artigo discute as assimetrias e exclusões de cidadania inerentes aos fluxos migratórios, com o propósito principal de compreender as respetivas repercussões na epidemiologia do HIV. A análise é eminentemente teórico-conceitual, apoiada numa pesquisa bibliográfica orientada para destrinçar nexos entre as políticas migratórias dominantes e o HIV/aids. Fica evidente, desde logo, que os países mais prósperos tendem a adotar posicionamentos seletivo-repressivos em matéria de migrações, movidos por critérios economicistas, pânicos securitários e fobias identitárias. Daqui resultam fronteiras político-administrativas e de cidadania intransponíveis para as pessoas que integram as migrações da miséria, intensificando a sua marginalização. A par desta violência estrutural constituem-se quadros de vulnerabilidade epidemiológica face ao HIV que intensificam o risco de contágio, constrangem o acesso a cuidados a quem já se depara com a infecção e dificultam as estratégias coletivas de enfrentamento da infecção no quadro dos sistemas de saúde pública.
