The most common non-viral, global curable sexually transmitted diseases, that annually affects millions of people is trichomoniasis, which is caused by the parasiteTrichomonas vaginalis.It was found that several immunologic and biochemical factors play a role in the pathogenesis of Trichomonas vaginalis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship betweentheMonocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and the pathogenicity of Trichomonas vaginalis.In this study, vaginal swabs, urine and blood samples were taken from (350) women, whose ages ranged between (15-65) yearsand were attending the women’s obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Karbala province during the period from November 2021 to June 2022. The general urine examination and direct microscopic examination of the vaginal swabs were used to detect the parasite, while the serum (MCP-1) level was estimated by ELISA technique. A questionnaire form was used to collect information from the participant women including age, residency, marital status, educational level, fertility and using contraceptives.The results showed that only (100) out of the (350) cases were positive for Trichomonas vaginalis, and the highest incidence of positive cases was within the age group (15-24) years and the lowest incidence was within the age group (55-65) years. According to educational levels, our results revealed that the number and percentage of illiterate women was 18 (28.57%), and for primary school level was 22 (29.33%), while for secondary school level was 42 (28.18), whereas for women with bachelor level was 18 (28.57%), with no significant difference between them (P=0.998).The mean and standard deviation of serum(MCP-1) was (15.83±3.1) in the healthy non-infected women, while the mean and standard deviation of serum (MCP-1) was (35.65±41.3) in the patient infected women, with a highly significant difference (P<0.001).It can be concluded from the current study that the levels of serum MCP-1were highly increased in women infected with Trichomonas vaginalis.

Assisted reproductive technology helps to reduce the couple who have infertility problems. In Vitro fertilization depends on the best selection of embryo quality. Embryo development and its impact on IVF is an essential step in ART. usually, we use an incubator for embryo development. And daily, embryologists remove embryos from the incubator to evaluate the stages of embryo development under the stereo microscope. Due to this embryo getting a lot of exposure, it may affect embryo quality. For some years, the time-lapse system (TLS)has been developed, which has the best feature for capturing digital pictures of the embryo at some time interval. This TLS helps without needing a computer system and to evaluate the quality of embryos without replacing the embryo from the incubator .TLS maintains the stability of the culture environment and limits embryo exposure. Using an incubator with a time-lapse system evaluates the best-automated embryo evaluation through digital pictures for ART procedures.
Review On Radiation Protection In Radiology

Published: November 2022

We reviewed experimental models of ionizing radiation (IR) disclosure and the evidence obtainable in the medical literature on mechanisms of injury to living organisms. Traditional models are based on the theory of "stochastic breaks" in single or double stands of the DNA double helix. As the model started, high doses can cause flair lethal cell destruction by damaging both DNA strands, whereas low IR doses inherently damage single-strand DNA that is easily repaired. It causes destruction and does not result in permanent damage. Exposure to low doses of IR, even years or decades later, has carcinogenic effects on both exposed and subsequent generations. The available evidence makes this classical model increasingly unacceptable, as it appears that there is Moreover, apparently normal cells that survive exposure to low doses manifest in their progeny, including monoclonal chromosomal abnormalities that are also found in non-directly irradiated cells due to the exchange of molecular signals and complex tissue reactions. Accumulate damage, including adjacent or distant cells. For all these reasons, a paradigm shift based on evidence

and epigenetics is required. Erythema was common in physicians and patients exposed to radiation for long periods. Even though ionizing radiation can pose a health hazard, radiological surveillance techniques are now a common part of clinical practice because the benefits to patients far outweigh the risks. Radiation protection is his radiographic goal for safe radiation-based imaging. This analysis aims to investigate the radiation protection perception of radiologists and students in medical institutions. By law, the indication for ionizing radiation is limited to a minimum. The German Board of Radiation Protection usually published the order and measures on radiation protection in medicine and diagnostic radiology. Analysis of particular writings, national and international guidelines, legal documents, and all sources. A clear rationale for radiological examinations and approaches to minimize radiation exposure while providing relevant diagnostic information is of great importance from a radiation protection perspective.

Published: November 2022

The review & discussion of research articles, journals, and some books help us to understand dementia. This review article may help to understand What is dementia? How to prevent dementia? What care we should take to minimize the possibility of dementia? The number of dementia patients is increasing day by day. Dementia is very common in old age. At least 7% of geriatric people aged 60 and above are suffering from dementia. The multitude of geriatric people including those with dementia is arising and the adolescent/teenager people death rate is reducing. Dementia is an unusual part of getting old. The common risk factors of dementia might be physically inactive, excessive alcohol intake, depression, hypertension, illiteracy, unable to hear, social isolation, smoking, diabetes, traumatic brain injury, chronic stress, etc. Dementia is not only caused due to risk factors but also it causes because of genetic, clinical, and neurological characteristics. About 50-80% of dementia cases are suffered because of Alzheimer's Disease. Alzheimer's disease and further neurodegenerative disorders begin sometime before the clinical symptoms appearing. Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Psychiatric Disorders, Vascular Dementia, and other neurodegenerative diseases like Lewy Body Dementia and Frontotemporal Dementia are also common causes of dementia. Some types of dementia are common in first-degree relatives e.g. Frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Geriatric people suffer from dementia because of the degenerative changes in the brain which occur during aging. Only 25-40% of moderate-stage dementia is acknowledged in primary care. Patients suffering from dementia normally reject the fundamental independence accessible to normal people. Till now dementia prevention, intervention, and care will significantly improve living and dying for the benefit of a patient suffering from dementia and their families, and thus society.

Published: November 2022

The growth and development of baby is aided by the mother's milk. Breastfeeding has various advantages for both mothers and their new born. Breast-feeding promotion is one of the World Health Organization's aims. Despite all of the activities, a large proportion of mothers need formula to feed their infants due to a lack of breast milk. Almond oil massage is a type of herbal traditional therapy that increases prolactin hormone adequacy, which increases mother's milk production. A study was conducted to see how effective almond oil massage is at enhancing postpartum women's breast milk adequacy. Pretest-posttest quasi experimental control group design was chosen as the      study research design. To gather a sample of 100 postnatal mothers, purposive sampling approach was used with 50 postnatal mothers in the experimental group and 50 postnatal mothers in the control group .Only the experimental group received almond oil massages 3 times each day for 7 days. For both groups, the post-test was conducted on a daily basis. This study found that after receiving an almond oil massage, the amount of breast milk adequacy in the experimental group increased by 90% compared to the control group (80 percent). Almond oil massage, according to the study's findings, is an effective alternative therapy for improving breast milk sufficiency. Babies were observed for well attachment to breast, sucking and swallowing, relaxation during and after the feed, number of times urine passed in 24hrs, number of stool passed in 24hrs and duration of sleep after each feed.

Published: November 2022

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurological disorder that most commonly affects the elderly. Alzheimer's disease patients have substantial memory loss. The Memory loss is caused by atrophy in the hippocampus, amygdala, and other areas of the brain in Alzheimer's patients. Identification and categorization of Alzheimer's disease are considered challenging research subjects due to the vast number of Alzheimer's patients and the absence of effective diagnostic procedures. And also traditional identification of Alzheimer’s disease is taking more time consuming. In order to tackle this issue, we have to use the Artificial Intelligence technologies, which are driven by machine learning base AD classification and identification.

The combined SIFT and SURF feature is used in this study to describe an AD Classification based on images. These combined feature parameters are then fed into a machine learning classifier for additional classification accuracy. There were three distinct machine learning classifiers compared to the system: SVM, DT and k-NN. For testing the proposed AD system, we have gathered a benchmark dataset that includes four categories: Mild, Moderate, Non Demented and Very Mild. The experimental results showed that SVM achieved higher accuracy than other classifiers.

Published: November 2022

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) as improver in bread on blood glucose response (BGR), Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL) in healthy subjects. Three concentration of ascorbic acid namely, 5ppm, 10ppm and 15 ppm concentration were added to Ab-Graib wheat flour of 72 and 90% extraction in making local flat bread. Chemical composition of flour and produced bread and sensory properties were determined in order to assess the quantity of bread intake by Volunteers (Undergraduate and Graduate students in collage of Agriculture and forestry, University of Mosul) with BMI between 20-24 Kg/m2. Results show that bread samples which fortified by ascorbic acid had good and acceptable sensory properties. Both GI and GL were reduced in both 72 and 90% wheat flour extraction rate.  The effect of addition of ascorbic acid in decreasing GI and GL was more in bread made from 90% flour extraction than bread made from 72% flour extraction, and this may be because of the more dietary fibers that 90% flour extraction contained. It was concluded that addition of ascorbic acid in précised quantity resulted in decreasing GI of bread made of 72 and 90% flour extractions with minimal increasing in higher concentrations.

Authors: Irfan Khatik  , Sachin Kadam
Published: November 2022

Purpose: Automated processing of digital x-rays, specific to bone fractures, may reduce the involved diagnosis cost as well as provide support to a non-orthopaedic or a small clinician at a remote place to identify a bone fracture and take corrective action.Method: Machine Learning (ML) approach is establishing itself as a viable technique to automate its diagnosis using digital x-rays. ML approach involving Convolution Neural Network (CNN) is also extensively used in the domain of computer vision. This study follows PRISMA guidelines prescribed to conduct a systematic review. It reviews existing CNN approaches used in the bone fracture detection domain and summarises the findings with respect to specific bone fractures.Result: This review revealed the existence of different approaches to apply CNN and transfer learning to detect fractures in different types of bones as currently there is no universal approach applicable to detect fractures in different types of bones.Discussion: The present status of ML domain does not provide a universal method to support all bone fracture scenarios. This limitation may be addressed through synchronization of different CNN approaches into a synthesized hybrid pipeline.
INCOME INEQUALITY IN EMERGING MARKET ECONOMIES: A MULTI-COUNTRY STUDY OF BRAZIL, INDIA AND SOUTH AFRICA
Authors: SAMUEL IGBATAYO
Published: November 2022

Inequality refers to the extent to which income is evenly distributed across a population (IMF, 2022). The World Inequality Report (WIR, 2022) reveals the latest trends in global income inequality. It shows that the richest 10% of the global population currently earns 52% of global income, while the poorest half of the population takes 8.5% of it. In emerging market economies, indications are that income inequality is rising; sometimes accompanied by accelerating economic growth. Reports reveal that Brazil’s six richest individuals command the same wealth associated with the poorest 50% of the population, or about 100 million people. The World Inequality Report (2021) reveals India as a poor and unequal country, with the bottom half of the population earning only 13% of the nation’s income, while the top 10% controls 57% by 2021. In South Africa, the IMF (2020) acknowledges that the nation’s inequality has remained at high levels, perhaps the highest in the world. This is characterized by a highly skewed income distribution pattern, with the top 20% of the population controlling 68% of national income. These developments hold grave implications for emerging markets, particularly their ability to meet the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The main objective of this paper is to explore income inequality in emerging market economies, with a multi-country study of Brazil, India and South Africa. The methodological approach to the study involves both qualitative and quantitative analytical techniques. It relies on secondary data in publications from various sources, complemented by interviews of stakeholders in the study areas. Findings reveal the income inequality is undermining economic growth and development in emerging markets, fueling conflicts and triggering migration in some countries. The paper presents recommendations, underpinned by progressive taxation, social safety nets, gender equality, development of social services, and leveraging economic and financial incentives for labour-intensive industries.

Published: November 2022

Oxidative stress is the outcome of the difference between antioxidants and pro-oxidants in an organism, and it is vital in the pathogenesis of several degenerative disorders. The use of natural antioxidants is effective in delaying the oxidation of biomolecules and thus preventing diseases. The present study aimed to investigate the phytochemical screening and in vitro antioxidant activity of Sphaeranthus indicus leaf extract. Phytochemical screening of Sphaeranthus indicus leaves showed the presence of tannin, saponin, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, triterpenoids, alkaloids, anthraquinones, polyphenol, glycoside, coumarins while emodins and anthocyanins were absent. GC-MS analysis was performed to identify the bioactive chemical constituents present in the extract. Twenty compounds were identified in the leaf extract of Sphaeranthus indicus by GC-MS analysis. Sphaeranthus indicus leaf extract showed significant antioxidant activity against free radical scavenging by DPPH, total antioxidant, iron chelator, hydroxyl radical scavenging, and nitric oxide scavenging activity. The effects were comparable to those of the standard antioxidant ascorbic acid and these antioxidant properties were concentration dependent. This study recommends the biological assay of extracts against disorders related to oxidative stress for the development of phytomedicine with antioxidant properties. These antioxidant activities could be due to the presence of antioxidant phytochemicals such as flavonoids, phenols, terpenoids and saponins, among others.

Published: November 2022

An infection of the human oral cavity that is primarily fungal is called Candida-associated denture stomatitis. Erythema of the palate and alveolar ridges are symptoms of denture stomatitis, which is a persistent inflammatory condition of the mucosa supporting dentures. So that a red pigment made by Serratia marcescens and designated as prodigiosin was purified by silica gel column chromatography with a yield of 3.7 g/l after being extracted at higher concentrations using methanol with a yield of 3.3 g/l. Additionally, a UV scan of the pigment revealed that its highest absorbance occurred at 535 nm, and thin layer chromatography revealed that it had an Rf value of 0.86 when compared to standard. In cases of oral or denture stomatitis, Candida albicans was the dominating species followed by C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis and C. dubliniensis, respectively. Checking for the development of biofilms by Candida spp. revealed that C. albicans and C. tropicalis produced biofilm but in different levels. The most effective source of biofilm production was C. albicans isolates. Candida species were prevented from forming biofilms by the purified prodigiosin. Candida albicans isolates had a greater proportion of biofilm inhibition, ranging from 63 to 82%. In contrast, the percentage of inhibition for isolates of C. tropicalis varied between 57 and 61%. Prodigiosin has a favorable advantage for potential usage in the dental sector since it stops and prevents the growth of biofilm.
Effective Audio Encryption Using Pseudo Noise Generation Architecture
Authors: B.K.Arpita , Mahalinga V. Mandi
Published: November 2022

Encryption of audio signal is performed in this work. Pseudo random noise signal is used to encrypt the audio signal. Generation of pseudo random numbers are done by two interconnected Linear Feedback Shift Registers, the first of which controls the second. Different formulae are presented depending on the seed word, and therefore appropriate random numbers are generated. The usage of two LFSR increases the randomness of the random number generated and also increases the periodicity of generated random numbers making it more secure. The random numbers are generated on Xilinx. The suggested method has high frequency, less delay and more randomization as well as user set modes.

 For real-time applications, an audio signal is considered, which is encrypted by performing an xor operation with the key to obtain an encrypted audio signal. Decryption is performed by performing an xor operation on the encrypted audio signal with the same key to obtain the original audio signal, demonstrated in Matlab. The encrypted histogram shows better signal distribution like white noise which ensures more security.

Advective structures of the bottom of lake Natron and its surroundings (Tanzania)
Authors: Baryshev Alexander
Published: November 2022

In this study we consider the features of the development of weakly lithified bottom sediments and the general structure of lake Natron against the background of its seasonal drying and watering. This study takes into account the laws of advection and the periodic placement of cellular zonal advective structures in space. The consedimentary structures in the lake sediments demonstrate the conditions for the formation of sodic ores and their positions. Provided space and aerial photographs depict unique genetic information about the evolution of geochemistry and the development of bottom morphology during sedimentation. This includes the presence of two sources that feed the lake - river and mud eruptions of the adjacent Oldoinyo-Lengai volcano, supposedly the only one on Earth that erupts carbonatite lavas. The combination of two sources and two processes leads to the development of an epimagmatic phreatic-hydrothermal recycling system. In it, the masses of the lake penetrate through fissure structures into the suprafocal space of the volcano, providing mud volcanism with solutions of soda masses containing organic matter of sediments. Volcanic soda eruptions are not carbonatite lavas. The morphological similarities and differences of structures are shown - small craters on the bottom of the lake, associated with the advection of thin layers of sedimentary material; large craters located nearby among volcanic strata along the shores of the lake; and both subsidence calderas and explosion calderas associated with magmatic and mud types of volcanism in the setting of strike-slip transtension.

Introduction: Many changes occur in Muslims’ lives during Ramadan that affect body weight, diet and calorie intake. This study investigated the impacts of fasting during Ramadan on the daily habits, diet, and weight of people with diabetes in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cohort study analyzed 104 Saudi individuals with diabetes (42 and 62 patients with type I and type II diabetes, respectively) aged ≥ 20 years who fasted a minimum of 15 days during Ramadan. The patients were seen twice per study period (before and during Ramadan). The patients’ demographic data was obtained, their average daily food intake was assessed, and anthropometric parameters were measured. Results: During Ramadan, 52% of patients with type I DM and 66% of patients with type II DM did not perform any physical activity compared to 37% and 42%, respectively, pre-Ramadan. A high percentage of patients slept during the daytime. A paired-sample T test analysis showed that during Ramadan, the calorie intake and carbohydrate intake increased significantly in patients with type II diabetes (p = 0.03). Protein intake remained unchanged, whereas fat consumption increased in patients with both types of diabetes (p = 0.03 and 0.04, respectively). In addition, there was a decrease in anthropometric parameters (statistically significant in patients with type II diabetes, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Ramadan fasting changed the dietary and daily habits of patients with diabetes in Saudi Arabia and had beneficial effects on weight, mainly in patients with type II DM.
Rotationally Symmetric Yang-Mills Gauge Theory and Generalized Uncertainty Principle

Published: November 2022

Recently, it has been of considerably high interest to introduce the notion of minimal length in quantum mechanics and quantum field theories to get a proper description of quantum gravity. In this paper, we have attempted to unify the notion of minimal length with R×S^3 topological field theories which were introduced by Carmeli and Malin in 1985 [14]. We have collectively called this (R×S^3 )_H topological field theories where the “H” in the sub-script stands for Heisenberg’s notion of minimal length. A proper description for equations like Schrodinger’s equation, Klein-Gordon equation and QED, QCD Lagrangian on (R×S^3 )_H topology is derived.
HIGHLIGHTS

It has been of considerably high interest to incorporate existing theories with the notion of minimal length because it is thought to unify theories at large scale with the quantum world
In this paper, we have done a similar unification by incorporating Rotaionally symmetric field theories with the notion of minimal length
The derived equations work consistently under local and global gauge transformations
Comparison of Ultrasonic and QuEChERS Extraction Methods Efficiency for the Determination of Herbicides Residues in Soil and Maize Cob
Authors: Zondo Sandisiwe , Mahlambi Precious
Published: November 2022

In this study, the optimization and application of ultrasonic extraction and QuEChERS methods was conducted for the effective extraction of pesticides from maize and their corresponding soil samples. The characterization pesticides (Atrazine, glyphosate, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and mesotrione) was done with gas chromatography-flame ionization detector. Factors influencing the efficiency of the extraction methods such as the extraction solvent, extraction time, solvent volume and spiking concentration were assessed. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the recoveries of analytes ranged between 100 - 104 % in maize cop and 91 - 97 % in soil for ultrasonic method, while they were 94 - 115 % in maize cob and 89 - 101 % in soil for QuEChERS method. The repeatability, articulated as RSD values were less than 5 % for all analytes in both methods. The limits of detection and limit of quantification ranged from 0.02 - 0.15 µg L−1 and 0.2 - 0.5 µg L−1 for ultrasonic method and 0.01 - 0.23 µg L−1 and 0.13 - 0.8 µg L−1 for QuEChERS method. The lower limits of detection and quantification with higher recoveries suggests that both methods can be accurately applied for the determination of the assessed pesticides in soil and maize cop. Herbicides concentrations ranged between 0.33 - 45.10 µg L−1 in soil and 6.15 - 34.2 µg L−1 in maize cob. In all studied herbicides, maize residues detected were found to be higher compared to maize allowable maximum residue limits however, atrazine in all soil samples was found to be lower compared to soil allowable maximum residue limits. This indicates the importance of continuous monitoring the herbicides residues in maize to safeguard health for the consumers.
HIGHLIGHTS

Crops compete with lots of undesired plants that naturally grow and compete for carbon dioxide, space, nutrients, sunshine and water
Agricultural sector plays a significant role in food security, production and steady supply by employing herbicides and agrochemicals to achieve high crop yield in a short space of time
Crop and soil health are evaluated for herbicides toxicity as herbicides contains toxic chemicals that poses a risk to the consumer and the environment

Estudio contrastivo de ensayos académicos de antropología de la década de 1880 y la década de 1990. El rol de la metáfora gramatical
Authors: Wiefling Fernanda
Published: November 2022

Este artículo explora la construcción de representaciones de la realidad por medio del uso de recursos gramaticales, en particular el de la metáfora gramatical en ensayos académicos de antropología de la década de 1880 y la década de 1990. El análisis se realiza desde la perspectiva teórico-metodológica de la lingüística sistémico funcional (LSF), teniendo en cuenta la función de la metáfora gramatical en conjunto con las nociones de ‘densidad semántica’ o ‘masa’ y ‘gravedad semántica’ o ‘presencia’ (Martin, 2017). El análisis revela que los autores construyen un lenguaje especializado en la disciplina. En sus explicaciones, utilizan recursos del lenguaje para construir abstracción y generalización en los que tienden a articular significados ideacionales e interpersonales, lo cual genera una  densidad semántica’ y ‘gravedad semántica’ que se combinan y crean tensiones entre discursos más o menos dependientes del contexto. Asimismo, la metáfora gramatical cumple un rol central en aspectos textuales ligados a la cohesión de textos académicos, ya que permite empaquetar en un grupo nominal cláusulas enteras previas del texto y, en ocasiones, estos empaquetamientos encierran puntos de vista polémicos. Esta investigación pretende contribuir con el avance del conocimiento del discurso académico y con el estudio de su evolución a nivel disciplinar. El conocimiento de las funciones de la metáfora gramatical en textos académicos aporta al diseño de propuestas de enseñanza que focalicen en la comprensión y en el uso de recursos léxico-gramaticales útiles para el dominio de la lectura y escritura académica.

Introduction

Emergency unit nurses face many stress factors at the same time. The mood of nurses who frequently face unforeseen difficulties and crisis situations such as sudden death, serious illness, trauma, overcrowding, exposure to violence is also highly affected by these negative developments. This research was conducted descriptively to examine the stress and related psychological problems experienced by nurses working in emergency units.

Material and methods

A data collection form with 50 questions was prepared by the researchers to examine the psychological effects of work stress on nurses. The authors chose 120 nurses and 120 administrative worker working in Hospital Emergency Department of Shatrah, Dhi-Qar City in Iraq to answer questions about the psychological effects of emergency service work, and to complete the Rapid Stress Assessment scale. Then, the individual experienced stress was evaluated with the Perceived Stress Status (PSS) scale, which was translated and validated in Arabic language.

Results

The nurses had higher scores of stress measured by the RSA scale, anxiety, depression, and somatization than administrative workers (p < 0.05). The total score of PSS in nurses (26.57 ±3.82) was slightly higher compared with that among the administrative employees (21.42 ±3.64); this difference was statistically significant between the groups (p = 0.036).

Conclusions

Improving work conditions could decrease the stress felt by emergency nurses. It is necessary to improve the conditions and to reduce the duration of nurses’ work, to increase the number of nurses in emergency departments, to institutionalize the nursing profession, to pay attention to specialized education, and to improve economic conditions.
