Published: February 2025

A alergia à proteína do leite de vaca (APLV) é mais comum na primeira infância, quando o leite constitui a maior parte da dieta de um indivíduo. A prevalência da alergia ao leite de vaca varia consideravelmente com base em autorrelatos de sintomas. Estima-se que afete entre 1,8% e 7,5% dos lactentes no primeiro ano de vida, demonstrando uma patologia de grande significância na sociedade. O objetivo foi identificar os impactos negativos que a APLV pode gerar no desenvolvimento infantil, de forma a reforçar o papel significativo que o leite materno desempenha como alimento no início da vida. Consistiu em uma revisão exploratória integrativa de literatura, utilizou-se da estratégia Patient, Intervention, Comparation e Outcome (PICO), sendo P: crianças diagnosticadas com APLV; I: não se aplica; C: crianças que não possuem o diagnóstico de APLV; O:comprometimento do desenvolvimento infantil. As bases de dados utilizadas foram SciELO, PUBMED e BVS, critérios de inclusão, se limitaram a artigos escritos em português e inglês, publicados nos últimos 10 anos (2013 a 2024). Foram encontrados 42 artigos potencialmente selecionáveis, 19 excluídos, e 23 utilizados, e posteriormente foi realizada a coleta e análise dos dados. Dessa forma, a discussão consistiu na APLV requerer mudanças drásticas na dieta do bebê e no impacto de seu crescimento e desenvolvimento, além de ser muito desafiador para os responsáveis. Também, há diferenças de manifestação e de tratamento entre os indivíduos. Há fórmulas especiais à base de aminoácidos que são mais seguras, ou hidrolisadas, que são melhor toleradas. Ademais, a instrução dos pais e responsáveis e fundamental para a tranquilização e um bom tratamento, além da necessidade de valorização do aleitamento maternos exclusivo até os 6 meses como fator protetor. Além disso, há casos em que ocorre o desenvolvimento de tolerância à proteína do leite e a possibilidade de reintrodução alimentar conforme a criança cresce. Em síntese, cabe aos profissionais de saúde, através de uma equipe multiprofissional, acolher essa família para que os resultados sejam alcançados e o sofrimento aliviado. Além do mais, a individualidade de cada bebê deve ser considerada, pois a padronização de tratamento pode desconsiderar características e efeitos adversos para aquela pessoa.

Introdução: No Brasil, a incidência do Diabetes Mellitus Gestacional (DMG) varia entre 2,4% e 7,2. O tratamento do DMG visa a redução das possíveis complicações maternas e fetais, sendo uma das principais medidas de controle a prática de atividade física. Objetivo: O presente estudo realizou uma revisão de literatura recente sobre a importância do exercício físico no tratamento do diabetes mellitus gestacional. Metodologia: Realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica na base de dados: PubMed, utilizando a associação de descritores em inglês “Gestational diabetes” and “exercise”, tendo como critério de inclusão artigos publicados entre os anos de 2020 e 2024, que fosse um ensaio clinico randomizado, idioma em português ou inglês e que abordasse ao objetivo do estudo. Resultados e Discussão: Foram selecionados 08 artigos. A desinformação ou  informação com falta de qualidade disponível na internet pode ser um fator limitador a prática de atividades físicas. O profissional de saúde deverá fornecer orientações sobre o tratamento da DMG, enfatizando a prática de exercício físico que seja prático, conveniente e flexível, como: caminhadas, que poderiam ser adaptadas para se adequar à rotina das mulheres. Estudos retratam que uma caminhada de 30 minutos pode reduzir as concentrações de glicose por até duas horas após a atividade. O uso de pedômetros está sendo indicado visando estimular as mulheres grávidas a praticarem exercícios que ao final do dia contabilize mais de 4.210 passos evitando o aumento de peso gestacional. A prática de caminhada intervalar, após as refeições estimulou as gestantes a realizarem mais atividade física diária. Quando comparado os exercícios aeróbicos com os de atividade de resistência, este último obteve melhores controles glicêmicos no DMG. Considerações Finais: Deve-se orientar as pacientes sobre mudança de estilo de vida, incluindo a prática de atividade física no tratamento do DMG. Faz-se necessário mais pesquisas que busquem elucidar os melhores tipos e maneiras de atividade física, visando garantir a atenção de qualidade para as gestantes.
Effect of Rice Husk Ash on The Strength Characterıstıcs of Cement Blocks
Authors: Boyi Baiti Akilu
Published: February 2025

Rice husk ash (RHA) is a promising pozzolanic alternative material for partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement to increase the durability and strength of concrete. This study examines the use of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) as a partial replacement for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in the production of hollow cement blocks. The aim is to evaluate the impact of RHA on the compressive strength, workability, and water absorption properties of the blocks. RHA was introduced as a replacement for OPC at levels of 0%, 25%, and 50%, and tests were conducted after 7 and 14 days of curing. The results indicate that increasing RHA content leads to a reduction in compressive strength, with the 50% RHA mix exhibiting the lowest strength. This is attributed to the porous nature of RHA, which weakens the cementitious matrix. However, workability improved as RHA content increased, due to its water-reducing properties. The water absorption of the blocks also increased with higher RHA content, corresponding to the increased porosity. Despite the strength reduction, the pozzolanic activity of RHA suggests potential for long-term strength gains. The findings demonstrate that RHA can be a viable alternative for cement in non-structural applications, contributing to sustainable building practices by utilizing agricultural waste and reducing the reliance on cement. This research supports the integration of RHA into the construction industry as an eco-friendly material, promoting both waste management and carbon footprint reduction.
Nonlinear Seismic Performance Assessment of Energy-Based Steel Structures with Rigid Connections
Authors: Ardalani Aysan
Published: February 2025

In evaluating the seismic performance of existing multi-story buildings, strain-based static pushover and time-history nonlinear analyses are traditionally used, as stated in the regulations. In addition, by evaluating the performance levels of symmetrical and asymmetrical structures, it will also be possible to design the mechanism with damping energy capacity that will completely absorb the earthquake energy in case of an inadequate situation in absorbing the earthquake energy. In this study, using real earthquake data, the usability of the energy-based performance analysis approach in the structure was investigated on a 20-story steel structure with rigid connections for symmetric and asymmetric structures. This study was conducted to demonstrate the usability of the energy-based method in evaluating the performance level of buildings under the effect of several earthquakes. In addition, the energy-based method was preferred to determine how much earthquake energy generated in the buildings could be distributed in symmetrical and asymmetrical structures. The selected 11 earthquake data were scaled and the input energies to the structure and the energies distributed by the structure (dissipated hysteretic energy, modal energy, dumping energy, and kinetic energy) were analyzed. Additionally, moment-rotation and axial force-strain behaviors were evaluated for the performance levels of the inspected symmetric and asymmetric structures. At the end of the study, the energy-based concept was confirmed by comparing it with the static pushover analysis results in determining the seismic performances of high-rise structures with very low dynamic mass participation rates. Energy-based analyses have shown that the symmetrical structure absorbs earthquake energies more than the asymmetrical structure and remains at the immediate occupancy (IO) level, as expected. It was concluded that the asymmetric structure remained at a controllable damage (LS) level. Energy-based evaluation has been used as a performance analysis method in the literature. In addition to performance analysis, this study aimed to calculate how much energy is required for the damping mechanism to be added to the structure so that an asymmetric structure behaves like a symmetric structure. This constitutes the original value of the article. So, it has been determined that in order for the asymmetric model to be at the immediate use level, a damper with an energy capacity of 0.062 m2/sec2 is needed, which can absorb earthquake energy from the outside, depending on the building mass.

Published: February 2025

Abstract:
In addition to their applications in folk medicine for therapeutic purposes, plants serve as significant sources of diverse pharmaceutical drugs. While numerous compounds can be synthesized in laboratory settings, the complexity of the synthesis leads to low yields and renders economic production unfeasible. Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don (periwinkle) is notable for containing over 130 distinct terpenoid indole alkaloids, which are cyclic and nitrogen-containing compounds.
The results of the present investigation bring out the important role of AM fungi in enhancing the growth and biomass of periwinkle. It may be concluded that all the medicinal plants screened in the present study were mycorrhizal inspite of possessing secondary substance like alkaloids. The AM inoculated plants showed improved plant growth such as plant height, dry weights of shoot and root. The biomass and dry matter production also significantly enhanced in the mycorrhizal plants over control. Mycoorhizal plants also showed increased levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, iron and copper in their shoot and root tissues. Of the three treatments, G.aggregatum was the most effective AM fungus followed by G.mosseae and native inoculum. In addition to plant growth improvement, mycorrhizal plants also exhibited higher levels of alkaloid content in root and shoot tissues.

Published: February 2025

The Gurukula system of education, deeply rooted in ancient India, represented a holistic approach to learning that emphasized intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth. This residential system fostered close bonds between the guru (teacher) and shishya (student), creating a transformative environment that extended beyond academics to include life skills and ethical values. Key features of the Gurukula system included the Guru-Shishya Parampara, which emphasized the profound relationship between teacher and disciple, as well as a curriculum that integrated intellectual pursuits with physical, emotional, and spiritual development. Students were not only educated in scriptures, philosophy, and sciences, but also engaged in practical skills like agriculture, craftsmanship, and military training. The system's emphasis on personalized guidance and hands-on learning continues to hold relevance in modern educational practices. Through the exploration of examples from epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana, this essay highlights the enduring impact of the Gurukula system in shaping well-rounded individuals and communities.
The Gurukula system of education in ancient India offered a holistic approach to learning, emphasizing not only intellectual growth but also moral, spiritual, and practical development. This residential system, deeply rooted in nature, fostered a close relationship between the guru (teacher) and shishya (student), where students lived in serene ashrams, free from distractions, allowing for focused and immersive learning. The curriculum included academic subjects, life skills, and ethical values, with a strong emphasis on experiential learning and self-sufficiency. In contrast, the modern education system is more structured, focusing primarily on academic specialization, standardized curriculums, and exam-based evaluations. While this system supports large populations and provides opportunities for career-focused education, it often overlooks holistic development and character building. By comparing both systems, this essay explores how lessons from the Gurukula system—such as personalized learning, character development, and mindfulness—can enhance contemporary education. It advocates for an integrated approach that combines the strengths of both systems to create a more balanced, inclusive, and future-ready educational experience, fostering well-rounded individuals capable of thriving in both personal and professional spheres.

Strengthening India’s Genomic Data Security
Authors: - Leona Tom
Published: February 2025

The rapid growth and development toward providing and ensuring better health to individuals is very evident with the availability of its required technological advancements and resources. Genomic data, derived through such advancements, is a significant contributing factor which would aid in promoting public health. In this age of digitalization, every individual is exposed to an unforeseen situation where their personal data or information may at any moment be found and misused for no good reason. Ever since the usage of genomic data to help mitigate diseases in human beings, a rapid growth has been seen in its usage. In India, the first genome sequencing was done in the year 2009 and has recently collected over 10,000 genomes. This has surely contributed to the wellness of the population and acceleration of research and shall in the future be used to an even greater extent. Along with its strikingly indispensable growth, there is as much requirement for a legal framework to facilitate its growth without any barriers and at the same time keeping in mind the need to protect the data from unauthorized usage and to also keep the same confidential enough to terminate any discrimination of the patient or say, whosoever the genome data belongs to. This paper attempts to put forward the current dangers relating to genomic data protection, which include discrimination based on genomic data of a person, misuse of such data and finally, the manner of governance of sample sequencing conducted abroad. Due to the inadequacy of laws in India for the protection of a person’s genomic data, it is of great necessity to establish a legal framework to protect and ensure the authorised use of the same. This paper also attempts to put forward certain exercises or say, steps taken by different countries like the United Kingdom, whose legal system is very similar to that of India’s and also possessing data protection legislations to govern and ensure the safety of genomic data and other countries such as Switzerland and the United States for the purpose of creating a stronger legal framework to ensure the security of such sensitive data.
Compqual-Tgnet: A Novel Hybrid Temporal-Graph Neural Architecture for Analyzing Competency and Quality Metrics in Oil and Gas Operations
Authors: - Shashank Sawant
Published: February 2025

This research launches a novel Competency-Quality Temporal-Graph Network (CompQual-TGNet) which serves as a hybrid deep learning (DL) framework to study oil and gas business operations through competency metrics and quality indicators. The system combines Graph Neural Network (GNN) and Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) technology to analyze multiple operational datasets and make accurate future performance estimates. The preprocessing system builds strong data connections by standardizing values with Z-score normalization while handling missing values via Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations (MICE), finding outliers through Interquartile Range (IQR) and matching temporal data patterns across different inputs. The system also enhances outputs with advanced feature engineering methods including feature extraction and fusion. The proposed framework uses Multi-View Matrix Factorization (MVMF) to extract shared latent features, and Cross-Dataset Attention Mechanism (CDAM) to identify correlations. Moreover, Dynamic Feature Importance Network (DFIN) to learn optimal feature combinations across datasets, and Cross-Attention Fusion Layer to create context-aware feature representations are employed for fusion. Besides, this development brings together GNN for mapping interdependencies among operational components and personnel competencies and TCN for monitoring operational history and long-term temporal patterns. The adaptive fusion layer uses weighting and attention modules to unite these models to make clear predictions based on domain-relevant predictions. The proposed framework shows improvement through updating graphs during operations, adjusting loss functions to match target requirements, and transferring learned models for constant updating. Using these data sources, the developed CompQual-TGNet predicts operating efficiency and detects quality problems with 94.2% accuracy and outran existing systems.

Authors: - Chandan Kumar , - V.Srikanth
Published: February 2025

With the increasing energy demands and environmental issues day by day, there is a need for sustainable alternatives. Noise pollution has always been a topic to worry about. So, we are utilizing noise or sound by converting it into electrical energy using piezoelectric sensor. The piezoelectric sensors use the piezoelectric effect to transform mechanical energy, for instance, sound waves into electrical energy. The potential applications of this technology are numerous, including energy harvesting from traffic noise, music, and even heartbeats. To the study in the field of piezoelectric energy collecting sensors Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is used. The maximum power outputs achieved in these studies vary between 0.77 mW to 51.6 mW, depending on what is the outline of the energy harvester and the type of sound source used. Use of piezoelectric sensors for energy harvesting has great potential for generating renewable energy from ambient sound sources.

Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND: Varicose vein refers to large, tortuous and dilated veins, resulting from venous valvular dysfunction. Unidirectional upward flow of the blood gets disturbed if there is any incompetence of valves, resulting in reflux and backflow in the veins. Varicose veins (VV) are common chronic condition adversely affecting patient’s quality of life as it can cause assortment of manifestations extending from tingling to ulceration. The risk factors for the development of varicose vein are prolonged standing, advancing age, prolonged sitting, previous leg injury, family history of varicose veins, smoking, alcohol consumption and obesity. This condition is mostly seen in pregnancy, long standing occupation like policeman, teachers, shop assistants etc. The clinical features being dull ache pain in lower limb, pressure sensation in the legs after prolonged standing, fatigue in legs with difficulty in walking, cramps in calf muscles, heaviness in leg etc. In today’s world, obesity or overweight is a recognized risk factor for a host of disorders. Overweight leads to increase in intra-abdominal pressure which may in turn results in increased pressure on pelvic veins causing greater reflux, increased veins diameter and venous pressures.
AIM: The aim of the study will be to check the correlation of body composition with varicose vein symptoms in school teachers.
METHODOLOGY: A total of 132 school teachers with the age group of 30-50 years were selected according to inclusion criteria. A written consent form was taken from the subjects. After that Body mass index (BMI), skin fold thickness (SFT) and waist-hip ratio measurements were measured by the therapist. Then VEINES QOL/ Sym questionnaire was explained and filled by the patients under the supervision of therapist. After completion of questionnaire filling and all measurements taken, data analysis was done using SPSS v.20 software.
OUTCOMES: VEINES-Qol/Sym questionnaire, Body mass index, Skin fold thickness, Waist-hip ratio.
RESULT: As per statistical analysis, Spearman’s Rho test (non-parametric) was used as the data was not normally distributed, test showed correlation is significant at the 0.05 level for BMI with VEINES Sym. There is very weak negative correlation for BMI with VEINES QOL, very weak correlation of abdominal, thigh and calf skin fold thickness with VEINES QOL/Sym, very weak correlation of waist-hip ratio with VEINES Sym and very weak negative correlation of WHR with VEINES QOL in school teachers.
CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that varicose vein symptoms occur in teachers almost independent of their body composition. It can be considered as one of the aggravating factors of varicose veins along with various factors which works in conjunction for the development of varicose vein symptoms in school teachers.
From Non-alignment to Proactivity: India’s Transforming Foreign Policy
Authors: - Dr. Malkagalla Chiranjeevi
Published: February 2025

Indian foreign policy has endorsed exceptional and striking changes since independence in 1947. India believed in non-alignment and was a founding member of the non-alignment movement. It has also kept itself separate from the primary power blocks, the USA and the former USSR, especially during the Cold War era. Indian foreign policy has witnessed significant changes since its inception. The foreign policy of India is a culmination of different factors. It has sustained the ups and downs of internal and external factors and has navigated several changes. This paper explores and explains the continuing changes and the new directions India's foreign policy is taking with the change in time and governments. It has moved from non-alignment to aligning itself with multiple blocks and various power poles which have become a significant turning point in the diplomatic view. India has formidable links with different power poles and numerous power blocks and at the same time maintains its autonomy strategically. This change is in a direction that promotes India’s aspirations, goals, and the need to protect its interests in a changing and complex environment of the globe and the shifting politics of the international environment. This paper also works on the opportunities and challenges India can face with its stand on multi-alignment.
Intelligent Defect Triage Automation (IDTA): Leveraging AI for Efficient Defect Management
Authors: - Jagan Mohan Rao Doddapaneni
Published: February 2025

With the increasing complexity of software development, defect management has become a crucial aspect of ensuring high-quality releases. Traditional defect triage methods involve manual analysis, which is time-consuming and prone to human error. This paper introduces Intelligent Defect Triage Automation (IDTA), an AI-driven approach leveraging historical defect knowledge to streamline the triage process. By integrating a Defect Knowledge Management (DKM) repository and an automated triage engine, IDTA can intelligently assess new defects, match them against historical data, and suggest resolution steps. This automation reduces the time taken for defect analysis, enhances decision-making accuracy, and improves overall software quality.

ABSTRACTBackground: Exclusive breastfeeding is emphasized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) as the optimal way to provide sufficient nutrition and protection against diseases for infants during the first six months of life. Despite its clear benefits, the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding remains low in many countries, including Indonesia. One of the factors influencing the practice of exclusive breastfeeding is maternal knowledge about its importance and implementation methods.Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental pre-post with a control group design. The modeling approach was utilized to empower mothers through health education. The intervention was conducted through health education using the modeling approach in the Working Area of Keramat Jati Community Health Center. The total sample size was 80 mothers, 40 in the intervention group and 40 in the control group. Data collection was done through questionnaires and observation sheets.Results: The analysis revealed significant differences in the knowledge change between the intervention and control groups after the intervention. The intervention group showed an increase in knowledge by 75.6%, while the control group showed only a 75.0% increase. Additionally, there was a significant difference in the status of infant breastfeeding between the two groups after the intervention, with 97.5% of infants in the intervention group receiving exclusive breastfeeding compared to only 70.7% in the control group. The Research Conducted in December 2021Conclusion and Recommendation: Empowering mothers through modelling approach in health education is an effective strategy in enhancing maternal knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding and influencing the status of infant breastfeeding. A holistic and sustainable approach is needed to achieve success in increasing the practice of exclusive breastfeeding.Keywords: Exclusive Breastfeeding, Maternal Knowledge, Modelling Approach, Health Education, EmpowermentÂ

Our study was conducted at the faculty of Sciences of the nature and life from Mentouri Brothers University of Constantine, (36°21′54″ N: 6°36′52″ E), altitude above sea level by 574 m in March 2022. Cereals and pseudo-cereals, the world's most important crop, are an important source of sustenance for humans and animals. In addition, they are distinguished by their high tolerance to abiotic stressors. Hydrological deficit is a major factor limiting agricultural production; the impact varies according to the species, the stage of development of the plant and the severity of the stress. This research aims to evaluate the impact of water stress on H2O2 and Malondialdehyde MDA adaptation mechanisms, as well as the quantification of proteins, glycine betaine, phenols and flavonoids that can affect drought in three local species (Triticale, Barley and Maize) and one exotic plant (Quinoa). We also recorded an induced increase in triticale, barley, maize and quinoa stressed in Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2), Malondialdehyde (MDA), proteins and glycine betaine with a concentration varied from 228.75 and 404.58 µmol.g-1 FM, 4.92 and 20.84 µmol.g-1 DM, 1.35 and 3.21 mg.g-1 FM, 0.34 and 0.54mg.g-1 DM, respectively. While the concentration of flavonoids and phenols total was recorded in maize by 20.14 mg QE g-1 DM and 375.47 mg GAE g-1 DM, respectively. Moreover, it reduced in triticale, barley and quinoa, with a value of 4.26-9.9 mg. EQ g-1 DM and 185.97-421.31 mg. EAGg-1 DM. The study demonstrated the species' resistance to and effectiveness in the face of water stress.
