The Mexican Center for Innovation in Wind Energy (CEMIE-Eólico) designed a wind turbine diagnostic system based on turbine behavior models using the signals of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system (SCADA). The system provides a pattern of variables that exhibit abnormal behavior in the presence of a fault. The patterns are formed with the detection of the abnormal behavior of the variables during a time window in which the failure manifests itself. This paper presents the application of machine learning techniques for the identification of faults in wind turbines after the diagnostic system. The training and validation data were obtained from the simulation of six different faults in the wind turbine using the Mexican Wind Machine (MEM) designed at the National Institute of Electricity and Clean Energy (INEEL). The diagnostic system was applied, profiles of abnormal behavior were generated and experiments were carried out for the multiclass classification of fault patterns using the "Random Forest" algorithm. Finally, the algorithm performance was evaluated using accuracy and precision metrics achieving 91% in the classification of patterns to identify the root failure.

Published: April 2021

The energy demand of the world population is increasing due to population growth and technological development. The current energy base is a generator of CO2 emissions, the most abundant and main greenhouse gas responsible for global warming, as well as pollutants, sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides. The environmental deterioration and the increase in fossil fuel prices make it necessary to investigate less aggressive energy sources with the environment at competitive costs in the market. Biofuels are an alternative for energy production due to their origin in the short carbon cycle, their emissions are considered almost zero, including biodiesel and bioethanol. The latter can be obtained from microalgae rich in carbohydrates and lipids, easy to grow in short periods of time. The objective of this research is to summarize the findings made about the existence of useful microalgae as raw material to produce biofuels in Mexican territory. An exhaustive review of the literature was carried out, which contributed to estimate the microalgal diversity in the country and its lipid contents as well as carbohydrates, with different species of the genera Chlamydomonas, Chlorella, Scenedesmus, Desmodesmus being found mainly.

In the past, the manual subject inscription process was carried out in a tedious and impractical way, by making the data management in data sheets and fulfilling the many inscription paper formats. Using of this type of methodology for this process was considered the most appropriated at that time. Due to the amount of documents and files that were generated during the window registration process, the time to accomplish the task became too slow and unsustainable, causing the student lines to lengthen, a lot of pressure to the coordinators who are in charge of performing the process that could take a around 3 to 4 days to attend the total number of students, and finally lots of paper wasted on the process. Therefore, this work presents automation of the window registration process, creating a material manager in order to meet the needs of the coordinators, allowing the registration process to be more efficient for four university education programs.

Published: April 2021

Introduction: Osteopaths are important actors in the Austrian healthcare system. High prevalence rates for diseases associated with nutrition, as well as studies from other countries, imply that os-teopaths are confronted with questions regarding nutrition in the course of their work.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to survey osteopath's knowledge of nutritional issues in a cross-sectional study and analyze factors that influence nutrition knowledge. Furthermore, it will be investigated if osteopaths are confronted with problems or questions regarding nutrition.

Material and Methods: With the help of schools of osteopathy all osteopaths, who could be found in Austria, were asked to participate in an online survey. As instruments of research, the General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire (GNKQ) and a second questionnaire were used.

Results: The average rate of correctly answered questions was 74.4% for the GNKQ and 37.2% for the Temple Questionnaire (n=188).

Discussion: Compared to other occupational groups in the American or British healthcare system, Austrian osteopaths' average nutritional knowledge is slightly higher. Only nutrition experts and people employed at centres specializing in eating disorders obtained more favourable results. Fur-ther surveys ought to develop valid instruments for Austria and attempt to define which amount of nutrition knowledge can be considered as adequate for certain occupational groups.

Published: April 2021

Gall bladder Carcinoma is one of the most common malignancy of the biliary tract. It's indolent and
nonspecic clinical presentation and little occurance of pathognomonic radiological features, often
hinders the diagnosis at an early stage. Most of the cases are diagnosed incidentally among patients underwent
cholecystectomy. Gallbladder Carcinoma is a highly lethal disease, with only 10% patients presenting at a stage amenable to
surgical resection. In this study we report incidental carcinoma of gallbladder in patients undergoing cholecystectomy in
department of general surgery, Anugrah Narayan Magadh Medical College and Hospital, Gaya, Bihar over a period extending
from December 2017 to June 2020.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE RELEVANCE OF DRE, TRUS, AND PSA IN THE DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION OF PATIENTS WITH CARCINOMA OF THE PROSTATE.
Authors: Zubair Md. Quamar , Jha Suman A. K.
Published: April 2021

Carcinoma of the prostate (CaP) is currently the most frequently diagnosed cancer among males .
Although it was initially thought to be uncommon in Africans, recent studies have shown that the
incidence and prevalence rates are higher in Africans than in age-matched African-Americans. The clinical outcome is also
known to be relatively poor among blacks who typically present for treatment at advanced stages of the disease and at relatively younger ages .Before the advent of sophisticated diagnostic techniques, the diagnosis of carcinoma of prostate was
mainly done with digital rectal examination (DRE) with the attendant limitations as it was only useful in detecting advanced
diseases. Previous studies have also shown that the ndings and conclusions reached at DRE were subjective and observer dependent . The subsequent introduction of the transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), which was greeted with much expectation with the hope that it would assist in detecting cancer nodules eluding detection by DRE turned out to be a disappointment .
Nevertheless, the introduction of the serum prostate-specic antigen (PSA) test brought about a revolution in the diagnosis of
CaP since it allowed the detection of the disease in its early stages. This resulted in a signicant reduction in the number of
cases of CaP diagnosed at advanced stages. Since then, researchers have concentrated on the merits and demerits of the PSA in the early detection of CaP . In recent times, however, controversies have trailed the use of the PSA in the screening and early
diagnosis of CaP since it is becoming apparent that serum PSA estimation has some signicant drawbacks in the evaluation of patients with prostatic disorders . Although a larger percentage of cases of carcinoma of prostate are still being diagnosed at
advanced stages in most African nations, only extremely very few studies have examined the role of serum PSA in the management of such cases . Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic yield of DRE, TRUS scan and PSA in the
diagnostic evaluation of advanced carcinoma.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and spectrum of neuroimaging ndings and their prognostic role
in hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Government Medical College Nagpur along with their correlation
with D-Dimer Values and GCS .
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 774 COVID-19 conrmed patients admitted to Government Medical College
st st Nagpur between 1 April 2020 and 31 October 2020. Clinical data were extracted from electronic medical records, and
particularly data of all neurological symptoms were extracted from the imaging reports. Four neuro-radiologists evaluated all
neuroimaging studies for acute neuroimaging ndings related to COVID-19. Plasma D-dimer levels were measured using a
particle-enhanced, immunoturbidimetric assay on admission in the 116 patients who came for evaluation of neurological
symptoms.
Moreover ,the patients were classied into different groups as mild, moderate and severe based on their GCS scores and was
assessed with respect to their neuro-imaging ndings.
Results: 15 % of the admitted patients suffered from neurological symptoms. Acute stroke was the most common nding in the
patients with positive neuroimaging ndings resulting in 34.4% of the patients with positive neuroimaging ndings. Other
ndings were subacute infarcts (13.8%), Chronic lacunar infarcts (20.6%) , Intraparenchymal hemorrhage in 10.4 %,
hypertensive encephalopathy in 7 % and subarachanoid hemorrhage in 3.4 %.
Plasma median D-dimer levels were signicantly (P฀ =฀ 0.000) higher in Acute stroke patients as compared to COVID 19
positive patients who had negative CT scan imaging features(0.88; interquartile range [IQR], 0.28–2.11 mg/L and 0.31; IQR,
0.17–0.74 mg/L).
Patients who have positive neuroimaging ndings presented with a lower GCS whereas patients who had negative
neuroimaging ndings presented with a higher GCS.
Conclusions: Our study demonstrates acute stroke is the most common neuroloimaging nding in hospitalized COVID 19
Patients. Moreover D-Dimer values are highly predictive of acute ischemic stroke. Patients with positive neuro-imaging ndings
have poor GCS scores.

Published: April 2021

Cada año, más de medio millón de mujeres en el mundo son diagnosticadas con cáncer cervical, usualmente asociado a la infección por virus del papiloma humano (VPH) de alto riesgo. Aunque la mayoría de las infecciones por VPH se resuelven dentro de un término menor de 2 años, algunos tipos virales, en particular el VPH16, pueden persistir por décadas y originar diferentes tipos de cáncer, siendo el cervical el más común. La historia natural de la infección por VPH de alto riesgo y el periodo prolongado en que ocurre su progresión, permite la prevención de la enfermedad. La infección por VPH de alto riesgo que evoluciona a cáncer incluye varios procesos como la integración del genoma viral, la división celular incontrolada, y la participación de cambios celulares y epigenéticos. La prueba de citología convencional que se viene practicando para la tamización hace más de 50 años continúa teniendo vigencia, especialmente en países de ingresos bajos y medios, pero está siendo reemplazada por otros métodos como las pruebas moleculares que detectan directamente la presencia del virus, con mayor efectividad como prueba de tamización. En 2014, el Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social de Colombia desarrolló una guía de práctica clínica para la detección y manejo de lesiones premalignas de cuello uterino, en la cual se recomienda la prueba de ADN-VPH para la tamización inicial en las mujeres mayores de 30 años. Hasta el momento se han encontrado resultados positivos con la implementación de la prueba, no obstante, se requieren estudios adicionales que confirmen estos hallazgos, dada su importancia en el control de la morbilidad y mortalidad asociadas a la infección.

Wide-angle infrared plasmonic perfect absorber based on graphene-silica grating
Authors: Fang Chen
Published: April 2021

In this paper, wide-angle infrared perfect absorption has been demonstrated by using a double-layer graphene strip grating coupled with a silicon dioxide grating. Numerical simulation of the finite-difference time-domain method indicates that the perfect absorption can be achieved due to the effective impedance matching, and all the incident electromagnetic energy is confined in the Al2O3 layer between the silver substrate and the graphene strip grating. Dual-band perfect absorption is achieved with the change of strip width or chemical potential of the bi-layer graphene strip grating. It is found that the spectral position of the absorption peak can be tuned by the chemical potential or the width of the graphene strip, and additionally by the size of the proposed absorber. Moreover, the proposed perfect absorber shows excellent absorption stability for a wide range of the incident angle up to ±65°. The proposed absorber may find potential application in tunable double band perfect absorbers in the mid-infrared range.
Nanoblocks embedded in L-shaped nanocavity of a plasmonic sensor for best sensor performance
Authors: Butt Muhammad Ali , Kazanskiy Nikolay Lvovich
Published: April 2021

In this work, we proposed a highly sensitive design of a plasmonic sensor which is formed by embedding a periodic array of nanoblocks in L-shaped cavity formed by the metal–insulator–metal waveguide. The nanoblocks are placed in the strong electric field confinement region to further enhance its strength by confining it to a small area. To validate the study, the spectral characteristics of the proposed sensor design is compared to the spectral characteristics of a standard design having the same geometric parameters excluding nanoblocks in the cavity. The study shows that the incorporation of 5 nanoblocks of length 25 nm in the cavity can provide best performance indicators in the form of sensitivity, figure of merit and Q-factor. The sensitivity, figure of merit and Q-factor of the proposed sensor design is 1065 nm/RIU, 251.17 and 343.4 which is significantly higher than the standard L-shape resonator design. The sensor design can be developed with a single fabrication step. Due to the ease of fabrication and the highly responsive nature of the design, it can be used in biomedical applications.
The Clamour for an End to Police Brutality: Satire Songs of the EndSars Protests in Nigeria
Authors: Owoaje Tolu , Sofola Kadupe
Published: April 2021

The EndSars protests, which occurred in Nigeria in October 2020 employed a great deal of music, which include solidarity songs, popular music, and satirical songs. This article investigates the use of satirical songs in the EndSars protests. The protest, which recorded a massive turnout of protesters in October 2020 across major cities in Nigeria started several months on the social media, most especially Twitter, a microblogging website before it was finally taken to the streets. Anchored on the concept of social movement, it employs the use of participant observation and the social media platforms to gather data which were analysed using content analysis. Apart from being used to ridicule the Nigerian Police which has not engaged Boko-Haram terrorists but instead unleashes terror on harmless youths, satirical songs were used by protesters to express their long piled up anger at the Federal Government of Nigeria. This is due to several unfulfilled campaign promises, as well as the bad state of the nation’s economy which has contributed to the hike in price of food items and other essential commodities, coupled with the growing rate of unemployment. The Nigerian government should use the opportunity created by the massive protests to execute a thorough reform of the Nigerian security establishments and also engage youths more productively in order to enable them to contribute their quota to nation-building.

This means that all women in the country need to have relevant skills for employment, job creation and entrepreneurship. Data from West Pokot County, Kenya department of technical and vocational education show the number of female students being admitted in vocational training centres for the past five years has remained low. Whereas the government of Kenya has viewed TVET as a critical element of attaining Sustainable Development Goal and Kenya’s Vision 2030 goals, the number of female students graduating from vocational training and being absorbed in the job market remains low. This study looks at enrolment trends for female students in vocational training centres and further examines factors discouraging female students from joining vocational training institutions (VTCs). To collect data, interviews and documentary evidence were used. The respondents for the study involve managers of selected VTCs in West Pokot County. Analysis of data was done through qualitative and quantitative methods. The study found out that the distribution of students in all public VTCs in West Pokot County favoured the male gender over female students. For women enrolled in various programmes, only 45.0% fully completed their programme. It was found out that courses offered in VTCs tend to attract more male students compared to female ones. The distribution of the teaching workforce in VTCs was found to be male-dominated and therefore, female students did not have role models to look up to. The research also found out that majority of girls who were unable to proceed to secondary and tertiary education were not aware of the opportunities available in VTCs in the county. The paper concludes that social-cultural factors, lack of role models and poverty were some of the barriers affecting female students’ participation in vocational education and training. The paper suggests more work needs to be done by all stakeholders to ensure that courses offered in VTCs are attractive to female students, remove social, cultural and physical barriers which prevent female students from enrolling and completing vocational training in West Pokot County, Kenya.

The article briefly analyzes the main indicators used to assess the effectiveness of the organization of forest fire protection in the Russian Federation. The need to improve approaches to such an assessment has been substantiated. Based on the expert analysis of various situations and existing operational indicators of aviation forest protection units and regional dispatching services, it can be concluded that all possible factors that affect the effectiveness of work should be divided into two groups: organizational and weather-related. At the same time, all organizational factors ultimately affect the area covered by the fire. Weather factors cannot be controlled, and their influence must be excluded when calculating performance indicators. Thus, all indicators that characterize the weather factor are directly or indirectly related. The article proves the expediency of using the indicator of fire season intensity to account for weather factors. It is proposed to calculate the relative deviation of the values of forest fire frequency and intensity from the average long-term values for assessing the effectiveness. The article provides a formula, an algorithm, and a number of recommendations for automating the calculation. A verbal-numerical scale of conditional assessment of the effectiveness of forest firefighting units is proposed. The interpretation of the values of the conditional indicator of the effectiveness of forest firefighting units for the selected scale is given. On the basis of the proposed method, an analysis of the effectiveness assessment of organizing forest fire protection in 2019 for all constituent entities of the Russian Federation is carried out. In the framework of the existing accounting system of forest fires, the cost of their suppression, as well as the features of existing system of account of funding of activities related to the protection of forests from fires, the proposed approach is optimal for assessing the forest fire service as it considers previous work experience in a variety of weather conditions. The proposed approach can be used in systems to support management decisions in the field of forest fire protection, which will significantly increase the adequacy of management decisions in the forest sector.

The author identifies obstacles to the development of mass sports in Ukraine. The role of the state in the development of the sports sector is noted. The main directions of purposeful managerial influence on the objects of management in the field of physical culture and sports are described. The place of bodies of intersectional competence in coordination of activity of executive bodies on the decision of questions of interbranch character, in comparison with functions of the state committees (public services) and the ministries is defined. The definition of the concept of «mechanism of public administration» is considered. The content of the state regulation of the development of physical culture and sports is characterized. The principles on which the regional management is based are specified and its system components are defined: a subsystem of the central and regional authorities; a set of functions performed by government agencies, as well as various methods, resources used to implement functions; subsystem of connections (direct and inverse) that arise between objects and subjects of management. The vision of the program-target approach, which is the mechanism of the state management of development of physical culture and sports, is characterized. The need for the state to diversify the sources of funding for the sphere in two main areas is noted. It is mentioned that the non-governmental commercial sector contradicts the first task of concentrating management in the hands of state executive bodies. The mechanism of financial regulation of the development of physical culture and sports as an integral component of the functions of financial regulation is considered in detail. An important task of state policy in the field of physical culture and sports is solved. There is a close connection between the legislative base for the development of mass physical culture and high-achievement sports and the legislation on education, social protection, health care, entrepreneurship, and local self-government. The expediency of creating one’s own territorial brand through the prism of physical culture and sports is noted. The role of bodies of local self-government in ensuring the accessibility of physical culture and sports is described.
Methodical Approach to Evaluating the Effectiveness of Consulting

The effectiveness of external consulting for road construction companies is considered. It was found out that the companies-clients of consulting, as a party of consulting interaction, need practical convenient tools for evaluating the effectiveness of the ordered consulting services. It is determined that the effectiveness of consulting should not be assessed by two indicators of the ratio of results to goals — efficiency and results to costs — efficiency. The third equally important indicator for assessing effectiveness is the indicator of expediency as the ratio of the established purpose of consulting to the problems of the enterprise, which company-client identifies and plans to solve with the help of consulting. Thus, the first step in consulting interaction for the customer is to diagnose his problems by interviewing staff at all levels. This parameter determines the features of the industry in which the company operates, because the problems of each industry, their structure are specific. The goal is calculated by an integrated indicator based on the desired growth rates of the main performance indicators for the customer. The ratio of the set goal to the problems of the enterprise determines the feasibility. Two other parameters that allow in addition to the feasibility of calculating efficiency and effectiveness are cost and result. The latter is also an integral parameter based on the growth rate of the actual performance of the enterprise after the implementation of consulting services. Thus, the performance indicator as a ratio of results to goals allows you to determine how effective external consulting is precisely on the basis of achieving the set goals. The cost-effectiveness indicator is traditional and is defined as the ratio of the result to the cost of consulting. The cost parameter is proposed to be determined taking into account not only the payment of the consultant for the work performed, but also the exposure — the level of interaction between the customer and the consultant, and the probability that the consultant’s recommendations will be implemented by the customer. The level of consulting efficiency is determined by the above three indicators as critical, sufficient or high. Interpretation of the three-component model for evaluating the effectiveness of consulting services is based on the criteria and qualitative characteristics of these indicators.
