Published: June 2021

Objectives: To determine the frequency of silent cardiac ischemia in type II diabetes mellitus patients presenting to tertiary care facility.

Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted from 20th October 2017 to 20th April 2018 at Department of Medicine Jinnah Hospital Lahore. After a detailed history, measurement of height, blood pressure, weight, fasting blood sugar, body mass index of 237 patients were recorded, and electrocardiography (ECG) was done before and after exercise tolerance testing (ETT). Changes in ECG were assessed and person labeled as having silent cardiac ischemia or not depending on the outcome of the ECG.

Results: Mean age was 54.9 ± 5.9 (range: 45 – 63) years. There were 144 male patients and 93 female patients The mean duration of type II diabetes mellitus in the study population was 10.0 ± 2.6 (range: 6 – 15) years. The frequency of silent cardiac ischemia was found to be 45.1%. Increasing age, prolonged duration of diabetes mellitus, history of smoking and hypertension, and increased body mass index were significantly related to silent cardiac ischemia (p-value< 0.05).

Conclusion: Silent cardiac is quite prevalent in our population that demands urgent efforts to diagnose this condition earlier for better future outcomes.

DYNAMICS OF DERADICALIZATION: KNOWING THE COMPROMISE OF TWO STATE INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Minardi
Published: June 2021

The failure of the de-radicalization program in prisons is evidenced by the high recidivation of terrorism convicts who have launched their actions again. This failure was due to the lack of coordination between stakeholders, namely the Director-General of Social Affairs (Dirjenpas) and the BNPT. Government Science sees that there have been sectoral egos between institutions. This study aims to examine the implementation of deradicalization in prisons and to skin sectoral egos in its implementation. This research methodology uses qualitative descriptive, namely the translation through words, by conducting interviews from September to October 2020. The results show that there is a reluctance of the Director-General of Social Affairs to use the concept of deradicalization and prefers to use the concept of guidance owned by the Director-General of Social Affairs itself. This reluctance was based on the negative stigma of using deradicalization and the feeling that BNPT had never coordinated to coordinate deradicalization. The sectoral ego is the result of not being carefully defined by radicalism and terrorism. Each state institution and the general public have their own definitions, resulting in differences in concept resulting in differences in program design and implementation.

Published: June 2021

Introdução: As doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) constituem a principal causa de morte no Brasil. O perfil dessa mortalidade no estado do Espírito Santo (ES) ainda é pouco conhecido. Objetivo: Determinar a mortalidade cardiovascular total e prematura (30 a 69 anos) no ES e sub-regiões, no período de 2006 a 2016, e comparar com as taxas no Brasil e na Região Sudeste. Métodos: Os dados dos óbitos foram obtidos do Sistema de Informações de Mortalidade (SIM), e as estimativas populacionais para o período foram as do censo demográfico de 2010, com projeções para os demais anos intercensitários. As taxas de mortalidade foram padronizadas pela idade, segundo a população do Brasil em 2010. Resultados: No Brasil, Sudeste e ES, houve queda acentuada das taxas de mortalidade cardiovascular total e prematura no período apurado, sendo essa queda mais acentuada no ES em relação ao Brasil com variação de, aproximadamente, 20% no início da série. Em 2012, as taxas se estabilizaram ficando abaixo das observadas no Brasil e Sudeste. No ES, 40,2% dos óbitos por DCV ocorreram em idade prematura (30 a 69 anos). No Brasil e Sudeste esse percentual foi de 39,7% e 41,2%, respectivamente. Conclusão: Ocorreu declínio nas taxas de mortalidade por DCV no Brasil, Sudeste e ES no período apurado, com declínio maior no ES. Nos três segmentos, a taxa de mortalidade prematura é ainda elevada.

Published: June 2021

Background: Cryptococcal meningitis has emerged as an important opportunistic central
nervous system (CNS) infection in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) positive patients. It is
associated with a high mortality rate. Hence early diagnosis is necessary to start appropriate
treatment. Cryptococcosis is generally found in association with acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS) although it has been reported to cause disease in HIV-seronegative patients
also.
Objective:Prevalence of Cryptococcal meningitis in a tertiary care centre.
Material & Methods: A total of 93 Cerebrospinal fluid samples from suspected cases of fungal
meningitis were received in the microbiology department of GB Pant Hospital(GIPMER) from
January to June 2018. Samples were subjected to direct microscopy- wet mount, India ink
preparation and Gram stain, Cryptococcal antigen detection(Latex agglutination), and Fungal
culture. In vitro susceptibility of Cryptococcus isolates to Fluconazole, Voriconazole, 5-
Flucytosine and Amphotericin B was performed using standard broth microdilution method.
Results: Out of 93 CSF samples, 6 were positive for India ink preparation and showed gram
positive budding yeast cells by gram staining. All 6 samples were positive for the cryptococcal
antigen test and fungal culture. Five were identified as C. neoformans and one C. gatti. All strains
were susceptible to Amphotericin B. Four patients were HIV reactive and succumbed to the
diseaseduring treatment. Two patients were found to be coinfected with Hepatitis B virus.

Authors: Gad-Elrab Ahmed A. A. , Alzohairy Tamer A.A. , Raslan Kamal R. , Emara Farouk A.
Published: June 2021

Recently, cloud computing has become the most common platform in the computing world. scheduling is one of the most important mechanism for managing cloud resources. Scheduling mechanism is a mechanism for scheduling user tasks among datacenters, host and virtual machines (VMs) and is an NP completeness problem. Most of existing mechanisms are heuristic and meta-heuristic methods, developed to address a part of scheduling problem and did not consider the dynamic creation of VMs by taking into account the required resources for a user task and the capabilities of a set of available hosts. To deal with this dynamic behavior, this paper introduces a new mechanism that uses a genetic algorithm (GA) for establishing a flexible scheduling mechanism that can adapt the dynamic number of VMs based on the required resources by user tasks and the available resources of hosts. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can distribute any number of user tasks on the available resources and it achieves better performance than existing algorithms in terms of response time, makespan, FlowTime, throughput, and resource utilization.

Authors: Suleimenova Laura , Rakhmetullina Saule , Denissova Natalya , Krak Iurii , Aitmukhanbetova Elvira
Published: June 2021

Higher education institutions are becoming increasingly complex and self-developing systems. Monitoring the activities of such systems requires a special approach and includes three main elements, that is, external monitoring, independent evaluation and internal monitoring. In the framework of this article, the main task of monitoring is the analysis and disclosure of internal patterns, causes and trends of the development processes of a university. In these conditions, the need to move to a broader model for solving and reducing complexity based on information and knowledge is revealed. The model reduces the uncertainty of the environment and thus provides more effective decision-making. The monitoring model includes changes in the strategic planning process that are consistent with the characteristics of the new organizational model. Ontologies, as a theory of content, which allow formalizing processes and knowledge, are a key element in this context.
Multithreaded Acceleration of 3D Mathematical Model for Ore Sintering
Authors: Krasnikov Kyrylo S.
Published: June 2021

One of the widely used methods to accelerate a numerical solver is implementation of multithreading. The problem of thread allocation on-demand at runtime is latency, caused by periodical instantiation of threads. The article is devoted to parallelization of solver for 3D mathematical model of ore sintering, based on software threads reusing them during computation. Computational domain is equally shared among available threads. Each thread writes only to own data partition. A looped barrier is proposed for guaranteed synchronization of all threads after iteration. The method allows scaling performance without recompilation of the solver by using similar CPU with more cores. Measurement of solver performance with 220 nodes using different thread count confirms scalability around 95% for double and single precision arithmetics. Presented pictures of perspective view with three slices of temperature field show influence of heat loss from pallets walls. A cross section of temperature field in layer after 16 minutes of sintering is calculated with appearance of two high-temperature regions inside. Comparison of temperature field with literature data gives good correspondence. The computer model takes into account important chemical reactions, such as, coke burning, carbonate dissolution, water vaporization, as well as mass-heat transfer inside the sinter layer and can be used in metallurgical plants to increase effectiveness of sintering.
LEGAL FICTION: METHODS OF APPLICATION IN THE CIVIL LAW OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Authors: Artemova Anastasiia
Published: June 2021

The article examines the essence of legal fiction. Based on an analysis of the current legislation of the Russian Federation, the author has established ways of using legal fiction in civil law. It has been substantiated that legal fiction finds expression in the construction of a legal entity and the institution of fictitious transactions. Legal fiction is used to extend the legal regime of one object to another object, as well as the legal status of one subject to another subject. Legal fiction is used when it is necessary to overcome a situation of legal uncertainty, to recognize as real non-existent circumstances to restore the violated rights of persons who have suffered as a result of the actions of unscrupulous participants in civil-law transactions.

PHILOSOPHICAL DAVOS AS A REASON FOR DIVORCE. M. FRIDMAN’S VERSION. PART 2
Authors: Smirnov Sergey
Published: June 2021

This article is a continuation of the previous publication published under the same title (part 1). Both parts are devoted to the problem of understanding the split that once occurred in world philosophy and was embodied in the division of philosophy into two directions, continental and analytical philosophy. In the second part, the author continues to discuss the reasons for the split and the argumentation cited by various authors, proving the conceptual difference of directions. The article analyzes the main ideas of the authors of the Vienna Circle Manifesto and the argumentation of R. Carnap in his dispute with M. Heidegger, the subject of which is devoted to the so-called overcoming of metaphysics. The reason for writing both parts was the work of M. Fridman “Parting of the Ways: Carnap, Cassirer and Heidegger”, translated into Russian. The result of the second part is the conclusions formulated by the author of the article regarding the difference between the named directions. The author believes that it makes sense to discuss their differences not in the categories of truth and falsity of teachings and concepts, but in the categories of different orientations and attitudes, which do not deny but complement each other. On the one hand, analytical philosophy claims to be scientific orientation, clear and precise language, logic and mathematics. In contrast to it, continental philosophy does not pretend to be scientific, to a clear and precise language, but prefers innuendo, rejection of doctrinalism, and the exploratory nature of philosophizing.
Some Lamentation Passages in Sanskrit Poetry (Especially in Kālidāsa’s Mahākāvyas)
Authors: Pigoniowa Mariola
Published: June 2021

The paper gives a detailed comparison of the two Sanskrit lamentation passages, the laments of Aja (Ragh. 8. 37–69) and Rati (Kum. 4.1–38); it is conducted against the background of some other texts with similar content. The laments share a number of similar motifs. When examining the structure of these passages (as well as that of other related texts, not only those written in Sanskrit), the following elements may be discerned: the speakers’ stupor or loss of consciousness; their attempts at self-destruction; an address to the dead in which personal experiences are recalled. The lamenting persons are shown as coming to cry over themselves, thereby embracing some personal memories and finding comfort or protection. Apart from offering words of comfort, the consolatory speeches addressed to them also give an explanation of the causes of their loss (the death of Indumatī or the incineration of Kāma).
URARTU SANATI VE MİTOLOJİSİNDE AT İLE İLİŞKİLİ KARIŞIK YARATIKLAR
Authors: TEMİZ Sevgi
Published: June 2021

Mitolojinin önemli karakterleri arasında yer alan karışık yaratıklar en erken Mezopotamya, Mısır ve Anadolu sanatında ortaya çıkar. İnsan ve hayvan uzuvlarının birleştirilmesi ile oluşturulan karışık yaratıkların inanç sistemindeki işlevleri net değildir. Betimlemeler içerisinde tanrılar ile ilişkileri doğrudan ya da dolaylı aktarılabilen karışık yaratıkların, tanrıların hizmetçileri, insan – tanrı arasında bağlantıyı sağlayan yardımcılar oldukları düşünülebilir. Bu yaratıklar temelde antik çağ insanının hayal gücünün ürünü, insanın anlamlandıramadığı durumlar ve korkularının somutlaştırılmış betimlemeleridirler. Bu çalışmada sunulan at ile ilişkili karışık yaratıklar; boğa, aslan, keçi, koç, ejder, balık ve kuş gibi hayvanların uzuvları ile insan uzuvlarının birleşiminden oluşturulmuştur. Betimlemeler içerisinde tekil bir örnek hariç hepsi kanatlı at ile ilişkilidir. Bunlar arasında Yunan mitolojisinde özgün bir doğuş efsanesine sahip olmayan ve aynı zamanda Mezopotamya ve Mısır gibi doğu sanatında da bilinmeyen karışık yaratıklar mevcuttur. Ayrıca, klasik mitolojide yer alan at ile ilişkili karışık yaratıkların kökenine dair görüşler çoğunlukla Mezopotamya ve Mısır sanatı üzerine yoğunlaşmış, söz konusu düşünce, sanat ve kültürün Anadolu’daki varlığı yeterince irdelenmemiştir. Bu çalışma, Anadolu inanç sisteminden köklenen, Urartu mitolojisi ve sanatı içerisinde gelişerek ve çeşitlenerek devam eden at ile ilişkili karışık yaratıklar üzerine yeni bilgiler sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is a tool designed by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), Government of India, being useful for development of knowledge and skills of the officials of an organization. TNA can be undertaken for an organization as a whole, or for a particular section or function. It may include analysis of an organization’s current performance problems, or in anticipation of changes that are likely to require training. TNA focuses attention on ‘performance’ to identify training needs, along with other, non-training implications. Once performance problems have been identified and analyzed, they can be reviewed according to their priorities. After establishing the priorities, further, more detailed analysis can be done to identify precise training needs. These needs should concern everybody associated with a particular performance problem, irrespective of their status or number. TNA has been applied to solve the performance problem of the Hydrogeologists of Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), Northern Region, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The TNA encompasses the components like Terms of Reference (ToR), SWOT analysis, SPIO analysis, Responsibility Mapping, EMB factors, PEST analysis, and Fishbone analysis followed by diagnosis of the collected data and recommendations.

Objectives: Qatar has witnessed significant reforms in its health care system, including the care of cancer patients. In 2011, the National Cancer Strategy was released with the aim to deliver a high standard of care to cancer patients across the country. We sought to investigate the featuring trends in the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of lung cancer in Qatar following the publication of the National Cancer Strategy. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study documenting the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of primary lung cancer cases in Qatar diagnosed from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2018. Results: The overall age-standardized incidence rate was 8.7 per 100 000 persons (11.6 per 100 000 and 5.4 per 100 000 persons for males and females, respectively). The one, three, and five-year overall survival rates were 67.0%, 48.0%, and 28.0%, respectively. The three-year overall survival rates for stages I, II, III, and IV were 97.0%, 78.0%, 52.0%, and 31.0%, respectively. The three-year survival rates for males and females were 43.0% and 64.0%, respectively (p = 0.029), for Qatari and non-Qatari nationals were 42.0% and 49.0%, respectively (p = 0.252), and for smokers and non-smokers were 39.0% and 69.0%, respectively (p ≤ 0.001). The overall age-standardized mortality rate was 5.5 per 100 000 persons. Adenocarcinoma was the most common histologic type. Conclusions: Despite the low overall lung cancer incidence rate in Qatar, there is a rise in the incidence among females when compared to previous studies. Qatar has favorable five-year lung cancer survival rates compared to many developed and neighboring countries. Policymakers in the country should consider the changing patterns in lung cancer incidence when planning future preventive strategies.
Cultura hacker e educação: percepções dos hackers sobre a vivência de elementos de sua cultura nas escolas
Authors: Aguado Alexandre  Garcia , Alvarez Canovas Isabel
Published: June 2021

Partindo da compreensão de que vivemos em sociedades em que as possibilidades e as opressões, em alguma medida, estão relacionadas às dinâmicas tecnológicas, e conscientes da necessidade de os processos educativos colocarem tais dinâmicas em perspectiva, neste artigo voltamos nosso olhar para os hackers e a percepção que possuem sobre a possibilidade de vivência de elementos da sua cultura nas escolas. Compreender quais elementos da cultura hacker, na percepção dos hackers de distintos movimentos e países, deveriam fazer parte do ambiente escolar é o objetivo principal deste trabalho. Um questionário misto, criado para uma pesquisa mais abrangente, sobre educação hacker e empoderamento, foi distribuído através de diversas listas de e-mail para comunidades de distintas vertentes e países. Neste artigo, focados no objetivo proposto, voltamos nosso olhar à análise de um único item dissertativo desse questionário: ‘De acordo com sua experiência, quais são as características da cultura hacker que podem ser levadas para as escolas ou universidades?’. Foram analisadas as respostas de 64 hackers. Através da construção de uma nuvem de palavras, destacamos os termos mais recorrentes e revisitamos cada uma dessas respostas, buscando aprofundar seus significados e relações, bem como construindo diálogo com um referencial teórico sobre educação hacker e pedagogia crítica. Os resultados revelam cinco aspectos: 1) lógica de compartilhamento aberto; 2) ecossistema comunitário de colaboração; 3) aprendizagem prática, valorizando os erros; 4) valorização das tecnologias livres e problematização das implicações sociais e humanas das tecnologias; e 5) respeito e valorização das curiosidades, somados ao estímulo do pensamento crítico.
