Promoting Wellness at the Intersections of Gender, Race and Ethnicity, and Sexual–Affectional Orientation Identities
Authors: Moe Jeff , Perera Dilani M. , Rodgers Danielle
Published: July 2023

Gender identity intersects with racial and ethnic identities, sexual–affectional identities, and other salient aspects of personal identity to create distinct experiences of health and well-being. Gender identity minorities experience minority stress across the life span that results in persistent health and wellness disparities exacerbated by hostile social and political environments. Strategies for achieving wellness are impacted by intersecting minority stress factors, often resulting in diminished likelihood of multiple-minority populations receiving wellness-based health promotion and intervention. This article presents an overview of wellness informed by intersectional gender, racial and ethnic, and sexual–affectional identity considerations based on critical synthesis of the literature. A case scenario is presented to demonstrate how to conduct wellness-oriented assessment and treatment through an intersectional gender identity lens.

Authors: Manasa Buhyavarapu , Babu A. Ramesh
Published: July 2023

Load balancing is important in solving over-load traffic problems in the network. Therefore, it has been among the first appealing applications in Software Defined Networking (SDN) networks. Numerous SDN-based load-balancing approaches have been recommended to enhance the performance of SDN networks. However, network control could be more manageable in large networks with hundreds of switches and routers. The SDN is a unique way of building, controlling, and developing networks to modify this unpleasant situation. The major concept of SDN contains logically centralizing network management in an SDN controller, which manages and observes the behaviour of the network. Numerous load-balancing approaches are known, such as Round Robin (RR), random policy, Weighted randomized policy (WRP), etc. Every load-balancing policy approach has some benefits and detriments. This paper developed an advanced load-balancing algorithm, a dynamic weighted round-robin (DWRR), and ran it on the top of the SDN controller. Then we calculate the result of our proposed load-balancing approach by comparing it with the current round-robin (RR) and weighted round-robin (WRR) approaches. Mininet tool is utilized for the investigation, and the controller utilized as the control plane is named the POX controller.

Authors: Duppati Sanjay Kumar , Babu A.Ramesh
Published: July 2023

The NER has been important in different applications like data Retrieval and Extraction, Text Summarization, Machine Translation, Question Answering (Q-A), etc. While several investigations have been carried out for NER in English, a high-accuracy tool still must be designed per the Literature Survey. This paper suggests an English Named Entities Recognition methodology using NLP algorithms called Bi-Directional Long short-term memory-based recurrent neural network (LSTM-RNN). Most English Language NER systems use detailed features and handcrafted algorithms with gazetteers. The proposed model is language-independent and has no domain-specific features or handcrafted algorithms. Also, it depends on semantic knowledge from word vectors realized by an unsupervised learning algorithm on an unannotated corpus. It achieved state-of-the-art performance in English without the use of any morphological research or without using gazetteers of any sort. A little database group of 200 sentences includes 3080 words. The features selection and generations are presented to catch the Name Entity. The proposed work is desired to forecast the Name Entity of the focus words in a sentence with high accuracy with the benefit of practical knowledge acquisition techniques.
Anomaly Recognition in Wireless Ad-hoc Network by using Ant Colony Optimization and Deep Learning
Authors: L. Esteban Allen Paul
Published: July 2023

As a result of lower initial investment, greater portability, and lower operational expenses, wireless networks are rapidly replacing their wired counterparts. The new technology that is on the rise is the Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET), which operates without a fixed network infrastructure, can change its topology on the fly, and requires no centralised administration to manage its individual nodes. As a result, MANETs must focus on network efficiency and safety. It is crucial in MANET to pay attention to outliers that may affect QoS settings. Nonetheless, despite the numerous studies devoted to anomaly detection in MANET, security breaches and performance difficulties keep coming back. There is an increased need to provide strategies and approaches that help networks be more safe and robust due to the wide variety of security and performance challenges in MANET. This study presents outlier detection strategies for addressing security and performance challenges in MANET, with a special focus on network anomaly identification. The suggested work utilises a dynamic threshold and outlier detection to tackle the security and performance challenges in MANETs, taking into account metrics such as end-to-end delay, jitter, throughput, packet drop, and energy usage.

Published: July 2023

Wireless ADHOC Networks are used to establish a wireless connection between two computing devices without the need for a Wi-Fi access point or router. This network is decentralized and uses omnidirectional communication media, which makes it more vulnerable to certain types of attacks compared to wired networks. Jamming attacks, a subset of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, involve malicious nodes that intentionally interfere with the network, blocking legitimate communication. To address this issue, the proposed method analyzes various characteristics of nodes, such as packets sent, received, and dropped, at each node. Using the packet delivery ratio and packet drop ratio, the method detects jamming nodes from normal nodes, improving network performance. The network is simulated in NS2 environment.

Published: July 2023

The study evaluated the results of treating patients with infectious complications of diabetic foot syndrome using minimally invasive endovideosurgical methods of computer planimetry with the Russian program AnaliRan in conjunction with traditional and endovideoscopic methods. The technique employed significantly reduced the treatment duration for this patient population. The technique employed significantly reduced the treatment duration for this patient population. This study provided valuable insights into the most effective ways of assessing the dynamics of the wound process. Despite the patients comorbidity, the assessment of laboratory parameters was deemed insignificant, as timely correction of the treatment of the wound process occurred against the background of modern objective methods for assessing its dynamics. Overall, the use of computer planimetry with the Russian program AnaliRan as a technique for analyzing wound process indicators in infectious complications of diabetic foot syndrome provided objective assessment of the relative area of granulation, necrosis, fibrin, and epithelium, enabling the evaluation of treatment effectiveness. For treating open wounds with infectious complications of diabetic foot syndrome, the program AnaliRan along with clinical data can determine the stage of the wound process, indications for surgical treatments, the use of negative pressure therapy, and the application of modern wound coatings. Analyzing the endovideoscopic frames with the program AnaliRan allows an objective assessment of the wound process in the cavity, based on numerical indicators and the clinical picture, facilitating the formation of indications for staged videoscopic treatments using ultrasonic cavitation, the change of local medicines, and the removal of drains. The data obtained during planimetry of wounds and wound cavities indicate the effectiveness and prospects of the technique. Consequently, the choice of tactics for managing purulent wounds, as well as methods for assessing the course of the wound process, remains an extremely topical issue in the modern world. Further accumulation of material will probably allow the development of specific recommendations for the use of various treatment methods based on digital information.
Development of a technique for analyzing the lengths of restriction fragments to assess the mefloquine resistance of plasmodium falciparum based on the identification of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (A958146T, A961013G, G961625T) of the PFMDR1 gene

A method for identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms of the PfMDR1 gene (A958146T, A961013G, G961625T) based on the analysis of the lengths of restriction fragments using polymerase chain reaction technology with specific primers is presented. To identify the polymorphism A958146T (amino acid substitution N86Y), it was proposed to amplify a fragment of parasitic deoxyribonucleic acid with a length of 417 bp, including the 86th codon of the PfMDR1 gene, followed by treatment of the amplicon with ApoI endonuclease, the restriction site of which includes the sequence of the analyzed mutation. With the Plasmodium falciparum genotype unchanged, the isolated deoxyribonucleic acid site is divided into two fragments of size 239 and 179 bp. In the case of an altered genotype containing a single nucleotide missense mutation A T, the original fragment 417 bp will be preserved. When designing the system to detect the amino acid substitution N1042D caused by the A961013G mutation, a pair of specific primers were selected that limit the 404 bp-long section of parasitic deoxyribonucleic acid. For restriction analysis, the most optimal was the use of AseI endonuclease, which in the case of an unchanged Plasmodium falciparum genotype divides the initial amplicon into 4 fragments (132, 116, 99 and 25 bp), and in the presence of A G mutation — into 3 (248, 99, 25 bp). It was found that a fragment of the PfMDR1 gene, including the G961625T mutation leading to the amino acid substitution D1246Y, contains 1 site corresponding to the restriction site of endonuclease BglII. Therefore, in the case of the wild genotype of Plasmodium falciparum, the initial fragment of deoxyribonucleic acid is cut into 2 short sections (300 and 269 bp). With the D1246 mutation, the replacement of the nucleotide G T leads to the disappearance of the restriction site, so only one source fragment (509 bp) will be recorded on the electrophoregram. Based on the analysis of the data obtained, criteria for evaluating the drug resistance of Plasmodium falciparum have been developed. The decrease in sensitivity to mefloquine and its derivatives of pathogens of tropical malaria can be evidenced by positive results obtained using the developed methods for detecting haplotypes A T (N86Y (band 417 bp)), A G (N1042D (bands 248, 99 and 25 bp)), G T (D1246Y (509 bp)). The developed methods can be used to analyze the spread of drug-resistant tropical malaria.

Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND: Intraocular lens (IOL) repositioning and IOL exchange are the main methods of surgical treatment of late in-the-bag IOL dislocation.
AIM: To evaluate refraction, induced corneal astigmatism and IOL tilt after surgical treatment of late in-the-bag IOL dislocation by transscleral suture fixation and exchange to iris-claw IOL with retropupillary fixation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 78 of patients with late in-the-bag IOL dislocation were included. Transscleral suture IOL fixation was performed in group I (38 eyes), exchange to iris-claw IOL was performed in group II (40 eyes). Refractometry, keratotopography and optical coherence tomography of anterior segment were performed before surgery, 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery.
RESULTS: The groups did not differ in subjective and objective refraction. But there was significant variability of data in the group I 3 and 6 months after surgery. There was no difference in corneal astigmatism in both groups during 3 months, but a significant increase was found in group II 6 months after surgery. There was no difference in IOL tilt between groups before surgery. Decrease of IOL tilt in 180 degrees plane was observed after 1 month in group II, while there was no difference in 90 degrees plane between groups.
CONCLUSIONS: Both methods of late in-the-bag IOL dislocation treatment allow to receive good refractive result, but refraction is less predictable after trans-scleral suture IOL fixation. Surgically induced astigmatism is higher in IOL exchange group due to large sclerocorneal tunnel incision. Transscleral suture IOL fixation does not cause clinically significant IOL tilt.

The Premodern Descriptive Earthquake Catalogs of von Hoff (1840–1841), Perrey (1845–1850), and Mallet (1853–1855) Under a Magnifying Glass
Authors: Albini Paola
Published: July 2023

The global premodern descriptive catalogs of von Hoff (1840–1841), Perrey (1845–1850), and Mallet (1853–1855), all covering the period from Antiquity to 1842, have been used to populate the preinstrumental section of parametric catalogs since the late 1960s. The earthquake lists of these three authors have been individually analyzed to compile a comprehensive inventory of the sources on which they relied. Conversely to previous analyses and uses that were focused—primarily if not exclusively—on their seismological content, both in the compilation of the inventory and in this article the hundreds of items supplying earthquake records are in the foreground. After having merged these three sets of sources and having obtained a comprehensive list of about 5000 earthquakes and two times more source entries, similarities and differences are evidenced. This comprehensive analysis is meant to catch and explain how the preference given to one source among many available may have affected the interpretation of the collected records and influenced the accuracy and reliability of the earthquake lists by von Hoff, Perrey, and Mallet, and consequently of their contribution to the construction of the global modern parametric earthquake catalogs.

Published: July 2023

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) was introduced in 1977 with the administration of chemotherapeutic agent to gelatin sponge particles through the hepatic artery in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and was established as conventional TACE using Lipiodol in the 1980s. In the 2000s, drug-eluting beads were developed and applied clinically. Currently, TACE is a commonly used non-surgical treatment modality for patients with HCC who are unsuitable for curative treatment. Considering the vital role of TACE in the management of HCC, it is crucial to organize current knowledge and expert opinions regarding patient preparation, procedural techniques, and post-treatment care in TACE, which can enhance therapeutic efficacy and safety. A group of 12 experts in the fields of interventional radiology and hepatology, convened by the Research Committee of the Korean Liver Cancer Association (KLCA), has developed expert consensus-based practical recommendations in TACE. These recommendations have been endorsed by the Korean Society of Interventional Radiology and provide useful information and direction in performing TACE procedure as well as pre- and post- procedural patient care.
A Novel Design of Hilbert Huang Based All Digital Phase Locked Loop Using FPGA
Authors:   Department of Electronics and Communication, Osmania University, Hyderabad, Telangana-500007, India, Spandana Velamarthi , Paidimarry Chandra Sekhar
Published: July 2023

Many applications for digital processing are steadily increasing in radio frequency signal processing from analog to digital. ADPLL plays a vital role in digital signal processing. Several ADPLL models were introduced in the past. However, in those models, the power dissipation gets increased due to the delay in the lock state. Due to the generated digital noise, the system leads the output signal with inherent phase noise and does not undergo the frequency division process. Therefore, a novel Hilbert-Huang based All Digital Phase Locked Loop (HH-ADPLL) was proposed to make the ADPLL into the locked state. The input reference signal is initially entered in the Hilbert-Huang transform to extract the analytic component and generate the up and down signals. By eliminating the higher frequency part from these signals, the up/down counter produces borrow and carry signals. The carry and borrow signals are fed into the increment decrement counter to produce the output signal. At last, input and output signal matching is carried out in the phase detector module, and ADPLL enters a locked state. The presented HH-ADPLL is implemented in Artix-7 FPGA, and the efficiency is validated in terms of stability, phase error, power dissipation, combinational delay, and performance improvement computed.

Published: July 2023

This paper aims to enhance the performance of the High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) according to downscaling dimensions based on the electrical properties and semiconductor materials (GaN, Si3N4, ALGaN and Si). This is to solve difficulties with reducing dimensions and ensuring HEMT has the highest performance possible. This goal was met when the physical scaling restrictions of channel diameters for different HEMTs were concurrently shrunk without compromising their performance. A simula-tion study was done using four variable factors (length, width, of the channel and length, width of the source and drain). Three electrical characteristics were used to assess the impact of altering dimensions on the performance of each kind of HEMT: threshold voltage Vt, ON-state/OFF-state current (ION/IOFF) ratio, and transconductance gm. To conduct experimental simulations under the specified situation, the well-known Silvaco TCAD simulation tool was used. The acquired simulation results revealed that the optimum performance for the downscaling device was achieved at the channel length of 1.6μm, the channel width of 0.3μm, the length of source and drain is 0.4μm and finally the width of source and drain is 0.05 μm.

Published: July 2023

The mismatching effect caused by partial shade is one of the critical problems in the operation of photovoltaic (PV) arrays, it can cause large losses in the power produced by the PV system. Power losses due to partial shading (PS) for a particular operating situation may be controlled by altering the PV array's scheme connection. For that reason, this paper presents an Automatic Switch Block (ASB) based on dynamic relays without using an algorithm to control the connection between PV panels to reduce the effect of partial shading and provide the ability of scaling. The Simulation results showed that the proposed module has a high ability and efficiency in mitigating and reducing the effect of partial shade on solar panel arrays by automatically changing the electrical connection between the panels compared with total cross-tied (TCT), Futoshiki puzzle pattern (FPP), Sudoku and L-Shape Algorithm. Moreover, the proposed method was tested in SIMULINK/MATLAB environment for different shading patterns and achieved an improvement in maximum power point tracking (MPPT) by about 12% as compared with L-Shape, more than 30% compared to TCT, and about 15% for other methods.

Published: July 2023

Cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 have become increasingly more reported. These dermatoses can either precede, accompany, or follow respiratory symptoms of COVID-19, and some have also been correlated with COVID-19 severity. Although COVID-19-related skin changes are relatively rare, there is an even greater paucity of such data in skin of colour. While research into the pathophysiology into this phenomenon is in its nascency, it is paramount to recognize the need for diversification, especially considering the racial disparities of COVID-19. The present discussion raises a deeper reflection of teaching and understanding dermatology of skin of colour in the medical profession.

To evaluate the trends of lipid profiles in hypothyroidism and chronic kidney disease throughout various phases of time.

This was a retrospective control study conducted on 50 CKD patients, 50 hypothyroidism patients and 50 controls in the tertiary care hospital attending to OPD. Collected samples are analyzed for Total cholesterol, Triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol whereas LDL and VLDL are measured by calculated method taken at various phases of time. The data was entered into the master chart and analyzed statistically.

: It was found that random lipid profile values in CKD and hypothyroidism were higher and are statistically significant compared to fasting and postprandial states. Particularly there is an elevation in Total cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL cholesterol whereas HDL levels are decreased.

: This research work is done by analyzing the fasting, postprandial and random states because it includes an explanation of why a random blood sample is preferred to analyze lipid profile values. Thyroid disease and renal failure patients are more prone to development of atherosclerosis which were primary cause for development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. So collection of the sample also plays key role in management.

Loops were found to the most prevalent type of fingerprint in all blood groups. Blood groups and primary fingerprint patterns were found to be associated with the association being statistically significant.

The correlation between the said entities would enable better authentication and prediction of identity of a person and thereby has the potential for great application in the field of forensics.
Association between serum alpha-fetoproteinlevel and liver function parameters in hepatocellular carcinoma patients: A case-control study
Authors: Varma Poornima R
Published: July 2023

: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer occurs in people with liver diseases like chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus. Early diagnosis and monitoring of HCC is possible with the help of tumor marker AFP. The aim of the study was to assess whether AFP level is associated with selected liver function tests in hepatocellular carcinoma patients.

: Total 90 individuals are selected, 50 HCC patients with AFP >20ng/ml and 40 subjects (normal LFT and AFP value <10ng/ml) with an age between 40-70. Serum is used for analysis of AFP, SGOT, SGPT, ALP by Maglumi 1000 and Siemen biochemistry analyzer (using principle Chemiluminescence immunoassay) respectively. Unpaired T test (IBM SPSS 22.0) were used.

Elevated levels of AFP (p value <0.05), SGOT (p value < 0.001), SGPT (p value < 0.001), ALP (p value < 0.001) shows statistical significance within study population and also indicated the risk of developing HCC with respect to AFP level in liver disease patients with elevated LFT parameters.

: From the study, it is concluded that LFT and AFP are comparatively elevated in HCC. Treatment is usually not possible with advanced HCC due to failure of not doing proper screening at appropriate time. Early diagnosis and monitoring of HCC are possible with the help of tumor marker AFP.

Deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) are the genetic material in all organisms. Extraction of DNA is the initial gait for the field of molecular biotechnology and biomedical research to advance understanding of human illnesses from various diseases and provide practical solutions for diagnosis and treatment. Routine diagnostic techniques in medicine have been greatly enhanced by molecular biology. Due to research on deoxyribose nucleic acid, it frequently finds use in medicine. Efficient isolation of DNA from a sample is the basis for successful forensic DNA profiling. DNA can be extracted from variety of samples such as a whole blood, buffy coat, hair, skin, tissue, urine, buccal swab, saliva etc. Numerous molecular biologic applications require genomic DNA (gDNA) in high quality and in adequate quantity. We extracted genomic DNA from buffy coat and whole blood samples and compared the results of the product obtained in terms of quantity (concentration of DNA extracted and DNA obtained per ml of blood used) and quality (260nm/280nm ratio) of the obtained yield.

The aim of this study was to extract DNA from whole blood and buffy coat and compare quantity or Concentration (μg/ml) and purity (260nm/280nm) of extracted DNA.

The present study was a hospital- based comparative and experimental study. The study was conducted over a period of 1 year on 50 samples. The venous blood sample is taken from the healthy individuals who are willing to donate blood in blood bank. The 5 ml of blood sample taken by venipuncture from healthy individuals were equally dividing into two anticoagulant EDTA tubes by equal volume. The first tube was use as it is, as a whole blood sample and second tube were centrifuged to obtained three phase separation and prepare buffy coat. From both of the samples extraction of DNA is carried out by follow the protocols of modified salting out method. The integrity and purity of the extracted DNA are assessed by Thermo Scientific Nano Drop 2000Spectrophotometers.

Our results show thatMean±SD of concentration of DNA from whole blood and buffy coat was 37.49±25.31 μg/ml and 101.83±31.22 μg/ml (P < 0.0001). The Mean±SD of purity (260nm/280nm) of DNA from whole blood and buffy coat was 1.66±0.16 and 1.74±0.15 (p≤0.05). The both p value was found to be statistically significant.

The present study concluded that DNA extracted from Buffy coat had purity as well as mean concentration significantly higher when compared to DNA extracted from whole blood.

Liver transplantation or hepatic transplantation is a procedure of replacing diseased liver with a healthy liver. It needs cautious post-operative care including nutritional intervention.

We present a 65 year old patient underwent a liver transplant due to acute liver failure. The patient’s diet history revealed a daily intake of carbohydrates and fats but inadequate protein intake.

The patient’s nutritional interventions were analyzed and evaluated through hospital recalls and proper follow up visits. In studies, hospital recall on 7 day of post-surgery showed a great improvement in calorie and protein intake. The discharge diet plan included a well-balanced diet with protein, carbohydrates and fat intake to ensure nutritional care for the patient’s recovery.

Nutritional intervention plays a vital role in post-operative care of liver transplant patients. This case study signifies the importance of personalized dietary intervention to resolve PEM, improve nutritional intake while supporting successful surgical outcome and recovery .
