The application of integrated MRI CSF flowmetry in the diagnosis and treatment of CSF dynamic changes in hydrocephalus patients: a systematic review
Authors: Rahman Awara Mohialdeen , Nadhim Ari Sami Hussain , Shahla Mohammed Saeed K
Published: February 2023

Background: CSF has contributed to the growth of brain development during the time of evolution and later protects against external trauma. Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is known as an aberration of intracranial hydrodynamics resulting in the accumulation of CSF endo-ventricular. The use of phase-contrast (PC) MRI is proven effective in assessing the communication of arachnoid cyst and subarachnoid CSF spaces. The CSF flow MRI has been found to show efficacy in differentiation between the communicating and non-communicating hydrocephalus for localizing obstruction levels in obstructive hydrocephalus and later providing important information concerning the preoperative evaluation of NPH, along with the differential diagnosis and the prediction of the related advantages from surgery and post-operative follow-up. Hence, the present study aimed for analyzing the role of MRI CSF flowmetry in the evaluation of patients with suspected hydrocephalus. Method: The role of MRI CSF flowmetry in the evaluation of patients with suspected hydrocephalus was undertaken by conducting a systematic literature review. The current review was reported as required reporting features for systematic reviews and meta-analysis statements (PRISMA). The systematic literature review included a total of 22 studies that analyzed the various applications of MRI CSF flowmetry in the medical field, mainly focusing on the use of MRI CSF flowmetry in the evaluation of patients with suspected hydrocephalus. Results: The result mainly included the identification of the CSF flow by integrating the PC MRI technique and the aqueduct-CSF flow rate was detected accurately showing as statistically significant in diagnosis of NPH. Evaluating the peak velocities and aqueductal stroke volume (ASV) showed a significant increase among hydrocephalus patients. Conclusion: The condition of hydrocephalus makes the ventricular size increase and eventually puts pressure on the brain due to excess accumulation of fluid while blocking the CSF flow after it exits ventricles. Currently, many imaging techniques are available for the detection of hydrocephalus that study the CSF flow dynamics and its related parameters. Among them, the MRI technique is the most reliable, rapid, and most importantly, a non-invasive method for the quantitative measurement of CSF flow rate and intracranial pulsations.

3D Point-Cloud Quality Assessment Using Color and Geometry Texture Descriptors
Authors: Diniz Rafael , Freitas Pedro Garcia , Farias Mylène C. Q.
Published: February 2023

Since the mid-20th century, the use of digital formats for visual content allowed a great evolution in how society communicates. The Internet and digital broadcast systems introduced in the decade 90 to the wider public allowed an incredible expansion of multimedia consumption by the people, while the telecommunication networks and providers were pushed to their limits to address the growing multimedia content demand. Older electronic imaging systems, notably TV broadcasting systems, were designed after long subjective quality analysis for the definition of parameters like the number of lines of the video. But recent digital visual content services need faster and more affordable ways of evaluating the human perceived quality of the always-evolving multimedia systems. To address the need for automatic quality assessment, in the past decades many visual quality models based on algorithms that run on digital computers have been proposed. While the existing models are remarkably advanced for 2D digital imagery, a new set of immersive media is dawning, with different data structures, to which the 2D methods are not applicable, and need novel quality assessment metrics. These novel dawning immersive media formats provide a 3D visual representation of real objects and scenes. In this new visual format, objects can be captured, compressed, transmitted, and visualized in real-time not anymore as a flat 2D image, but as 3D content, allowing free-viewpoint selection by a consumer of such media. One of the most popular formats for immersive media is Point Cloud (PC), which is composed of points with 3 geometry coordinates plus color information, and sometimes, other information like reflectance and transparency. This work presents a research on the quality assessment of 3D PC based on novel color and geometric texture statistics. Considering that distortions to both color and geometry attributes of 3D visual content affect the perceived visual quality, it is proposed in this work to use both color-based and geometry-based texture descriptors for PC to obtain the visual degradation through their statistics. This work introduces 4 novels PC texture descriptors, 3 of them color-based, while 1 is geometry-based. Also, a new voxelization method is proposed, which converts points to voxels (volume elements), and improves the performance of the color-based texture descriptors. The performance of the proposed PC quality assessment method is among the best of the state-of-the-art PC quality assessment methods while being flexible and extensible to adapt to different types of distortions.
AEIMPS: Deep Autoencoder for Image Retargeting Quality Assessment
Authors: Carvalho Levi C. , Oliveira Saulo A. F.
Published: February 2023

Evaluating retargeting image operators is a subjective task and, therefore, challenging to execute without human interference. Image Retargeting Quality Algorithms execute this task, giving some score to the retargeted image and, usually, trying to get a result similar to a human opinion since humans generally agree with each other on the quality of a resized image. Therefore, we propose an Autoencoder-based IRQA named AutoEncoder Information MaP Similarity (AEIMPS) to address this task using the NVAE architecture. In our experiments, besides the retargeting ratio, we use the latent space and the reconstructed image in the IRQA. AIEMPS achieved an average performance compared to other IRQAs in the literature.

Due to the global pandemic disclaimer caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus propagation, also called COVID-19, governments, institutions, and researchers have mobilized intending to try to mitigate the effects caused by the virus on society. Some approaches were proposed and applied to try to make predictions of the behavior of possible pandemics indicators. Among those methodologies, some models are data orientated, also known as data-driven, which had considerable prominence over the others. Artificial Neural Networks are a widely used model among datadriven models. In this work, we propose a novel Auto-Encoder RNA architecture. This architecture aims to forecast time series related to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the number of deaths. The model uses as inputs possible associated time series with the desired forecasting. In the experiments, we used the representation in time series from the number of COVID-19 cases, deaths, temperature, humidity, and the Air Quality Index (AQI) of São Paulo city in Brazil. The results show that the model has a prominent forecasting accuracy for the COVID-19 deaths time series.
Crime prediction and prevention using police patrolling data: challenges and prospects
Authors: Vieira Thales , Paulino Tiago , Souza João Matheus Siqueira , Lima Edival
Published: February 2023

Spatiotemporal crime analysis and prediction aim at identifying criminal patterns in space and time. In previous work, crime prediction has been performed by identifying hotspots from data, which means areas of high criminal activity on the streets. By focusing efforts on such sites, police patrolling is expected to be more efficient, thus reducing criminal activity. However, not many studies focus on investigating how police patrolling affects crime, and whether it can be a predictor of crime activity. In this paper we discuss the main challenges of this problem, and describe some work in progress towards developing a robust methodology to represent, visually analyze, and build predictors for criminal activity, considering both criminal and police patrolling spatiotemporal data. As a case study, we use real datasets from the Military Police of the state of Alagoas, Brazil (PM-AL).

New Insight in Herbicides Science: Non-Target Site Resistance and Its Mechanisms
Authors: Misganaw Amare Ermias
Published: February 2023

Managing weeds in crop production, whether in the field, or greenhouse, can be troublesome; however, it is essential to successful production. Weeds compete with the crop for nutrients, space, sunlight and also host plant pathogens and insect pests. The economic impacts of weeds include both monetary and non-monetary. In Australia, the overall cost of weeds to grain growers is estimated at AUD 3.3 billion annually. In India, weeds cost over USD 11 billion each year. In the USA, weeds cost USD 33 billion in lost crop production annually. Herbicide use is indispensable in agriculture as it offers tool for weed management; however, repeated applications of herbicides with the same mode of action resulted in the selection of herbicide-resistant weed populations. Herbicide resistance is a rapidly growing worldwide problem that causes significant crop yield losses as well as increases in production costs. Non-target-site resistance to herbicides in weeds can be conferred as a result of the alteration of one or more physiological processes such as reduced herbicide translocation, increased herbicide metabolism, decreased rate of herbicide activation. Non-Target Site Resistance mechanisms are generally more complex and can impart cross-resistance to herbicides with different modes of action. To date, approximately 252 species have evolved resistance to 23 of the 26 known herbicide modes of action.

Authors: Pender William , A. Lovich-Sapola Jessica , P. Rubin Kasia
Published: February 2023

Video-assisted laryngoscopy (VL) has become a critical tool in the anesthesiologist’s arsenal. Compared with direct laryngoscopy (DL), VL often improves laryngeal views, increases the frequency of first-attempt intubations, and decreases the time in achieving successful intubation. First-line utilization of VL has changed the approach to airway management, with some specialists indicating that VL will eventually replace traditional DL. In this chapter, we describe the history of video laryngoscopy, the advantages and disadvantages of currently available VL technologies, and its emerging utility in a variety of clinical settings.
Perspective Chapter: Sustaining University Education for and National Development in Nigeria
Authors: Nnadozie Emmanuel , Jerome Afeikhena , Aregbeyen Omo
Published: February 2023

This chapter presents a retrospective and prospective reflections on university education in Nigeria in relation to national development. Retrospectively, the Nigerian university system was among the best in Africa and beyond, especially in the 1970s. The universities were top notch and attracted other Africans who flooded into Nigeria to study. Then the Nigerian university system possessed the four crucial elements of a universal and functional university system-quality teachers, quality students, an enabling environment for learning and international competitiveness. However, over the past three decades, the Nigerian university system has suffered benign neglect and lost its hallmark of quality, and thereby raising concerns about its role and relevance in contemporary national development. Nevertheless, this chapter expresses strong believe and conviction that the university system is still relevant for the socio-economic and political development of the country but there is the need to take necessary actions/steps to strengthen the system towards making it have the desired and comparative international quality and functionality required to meet the requirements of contemporary challenges and the future. Suggestions were offered accordingly.
Drug Repurposing: Scopes in Herbal/Natural Products-based Drug Discovery and Role of in silico Techniques
Authors: Kotadiya Manisha
Published: February 2023

Natural products and their derivatives are the most promising and prolific resources in identifying the therapeutic small compounds with potential therapeutic activity. Nowadays, working with herbal or natural products can be boosted by collecting the data available for their chemical, pharmacological, and biological characteristics properties. Using in silico tools and methods, we can enhance the chances of getting a better result in a precise way. It can support experiments to emphasis their sources in fruitful directions. Though due to their limitations with respect to current knowledge, quality, quantity, relevance of the present data as well as the scope and limitations of cheminformatics methods, herbal product-based drug discovery is limited. The pharmaceutical re-profiling is done with the main objective to establish strategies by using approved drugs and rejected drug candidates in the diagnosis of new diseases. Drug repurposing offers safety lower average processing cost for already approved, withdrawn drug candidates. In silico methods could be oppressed for discovering the actions of un-investigated phytochemicals by identification of their molecular targets using an incorporation of chemical informatics and bioinformatics along with systems biological approaches, hence advantageous for small-molecule drug identification. The methods like rule-based, similarity-based, shape-based, pharmacophore-based, and network-based approaches and docking and machine learning methods are discussed.

Enzymes called proteases play important roles in the physiology of all living organisms and in the interaction of a parasite/symbiont with its host. Different types of peptidases act on specific substrates and are regulated by specific inhibitors. Ecotins, described firstly in Eschericchia coli, are inhibitors of serine peptidases (ISP) from S1A family including trypsin, chymotrypsin, neutrophil elastase, and cathepsin G. Ecotin-like inhibitors are present in parasites from Trypanosomatidae family, including Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas’ disease. This chapter explores the evolutive origin of the T. cruzi TcISP2 and its possible interactions with proteins of the human immune system and in Chagas’ disease. The phylogenetic relationship of TcISP2 with trypanosomatids ISPs, comparative loci analysis among trypanosomatids, and the occurrence of bacteria endosymbionts in the group strongly suggest horizontal transfer as the main origin mechanism for trypanosomatids ISPs, followed by duplication events and losses that could explain its current genomic pattern. The relationship of TcISP2 with the vertebrate host immune system can be inferred by its antigenicity in Chaga’s disease murine model, presenting high antibody titer after 60 days post-infection, which could indicate the inhibition of TcISP2 activity associated with chronic phase of the Chaga’s disease.
The association of motives with problematic smartphone use: A systematic review
Authors: Mostyn Sullivan Beau , George Amanda
Published: February 2023

Motives for smartphone use may be key factors underlying problematic smartphone use (PSU). However, no study has reviewed the literature investigating the association of motives with PSU. As such, we conducted a systematic review to: (a) determine which smartphone use motives were associated with PSU; and (b) examine the potential indirect and moderating effects of motives in the relationship of psychosocial factors with PSU. We identified 44 studies suitable for inclusion in our systematic review. There was extensive heterogeneity in smartphone use motives measures across the studies, including 55 different labels applied to individual motives dimensions. Categorisation of these motives based on their definitions and item content identified seven motives that were broadly assessed across the included studies. Motives which reflected smartphone use for mood regulation, enhancement, self-identity/conformity, passing time, socialising, and safety were generally positively associated with PSU. There were indirect effects of depression, anxiety, and transdiagnostic factors linked to both psychopathologies on PSU via motives, particularly those reflecting mood regulation. Stress and anxiety variously interacted with pass-time, social, and a composite of enhancement and mood regulation motives to predict PSU. However, the heterogeneity in the measurement of smartphone use motives made it difficult to determine which motives were most robustly associated with PSU. This highlights the need for a valid and comprehensive smartphone use motives measure.

Nanosponges: A Novel Class of Versatile Drug Delivery System – Review
Authors: Parag Ghosh
Published: February 2023

Nanotechnology advancements have resulted in the creation of tailored medicine delivery systems. However, properly targeting a molecule to a specific region with a drug delivery system necessitates using a specialized drug delivery system. The development of nanosponge has become a crucial step in solving some challenges such as drug toxicity, low bioavailability, and predictable drug release. Many drug delivery methods, such as nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, nanosuspensions, and nanosponges, have been developed via nanomedicine technology. Nanosponges are little sponges like the size of a virus that may be loaded with a vast range of medications. Nanosponges serve an essential function in regulated medication delivery. These mini sponges may flow throughout the human body until they reach the same target region. They adhere to the surface and begin to release the medicine in a regulated and predictable way. The outside surface is often porous, which allows for regulated medication release. The important feature of these sponges is their aqueous solubility, which makes them appropriate for medications with low solubility. Their molecular architecture is often composed of several polymer chains that can generate unique microdomains suited for co-encapsulating two medicines with different chemical structures. When used to release insoluble medications, nanosponges also shield the active components from physicochemical deterioration. Nanosponges can be made into a number of dosage forms, including parenteral, aerosol, tablets, topical, and capsules, thanks to their small size and spherical structure. This study focuses on the techniques of synthesis and applications of nanosponges in the realm of medication delivery.

Utilización del patrimonio para el aprendizaje de la historia en educación infantil. Experiencia educativa“¡Esta clase es un Museo!”
Authors: Escribano-Miralles Ainoa
Published: February 2023

Entre las temáticas que se suelen trabajar en ciencias sociales para Educación Infantil el paso del tiempo y patrimonio cultural son las menos trabajadas. Las causas principales son que Piaget postulaba que el niño de infantil era incapaz de comprender la historia ni la importancia de las manifestaciones artísticas. Autores especializados en la didáctica de las ciencias sociales han demostrado a través de investigaciones y propuestas prácticas que el tratamiento de la historia en Educación Infantil es posible (Cooper, 2002; Miralles y Molina, 2011). Con el fin de ahondar un poco más en el tratamiento de la historia en Educación Infantil se propone diseñar, aplicar y evaluar una propuesta didáctica para la enseñanza de la historia, en la que se use el patrimonio cultural y se tenga en cuenta todo el espacio del aula. La propuesta se lleva a cabo en un colegio de Murcia con 21 alumnos del curso de 5 años de EI. Demuestra se puede trabajar la historia utilizando el patrimonio cultural dentro de un proyecto que englobe el espacio del aula y el museo.
La mirada de los docentes hacia su ciudad: identidades urbanas y educación patrimonial
Authors: Huerta Ricard
Published: February 2023

Con la presente investigación1 nos acercamos a la peculiar mirada de los docentes hacia su ciudad. Queremos averiguar si existe realmente una identidad docente en esta observación que desarrollan los educadores ante lo urbano. Para ello utilizamos una metodología basada en los estudios de caso (Hubard, 2008), habiendo podido acceder a las opiniones de educadores mediante entrevistas y actividades participativas. Hemos centrado nuestro análisis en docentes de dos ciudades: Montevideo (Uruguay) y Valencia (España). Indagamos en la propia mirada de los educadores, para posteriormente detectar sus intereses particulares en todo aquello que ofrece la ciudad: un encuentro con la mirada (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990), un vibrante espacio de actividad y de pulso con el poder (Harvey, 2012), una posibilidad de acción educativa (Walker y Chaplin, 2002), una fuente de posibilidades de orden estético (Laddaga, 2006), un entorno que favorece la reflexión (Huerta, 2010), un encuentro con el arte público y los procesos comunitarios (Palacios, 2010) así como un objeto de estudio y disfrute (Careri, 2002).

Context.—

Substantial variability between different antibody titration methods has been identified since the development and introduction of the uniform procedure in 2008.

Objective.—

To determine whether more recent methods or techniques decrease interlaboratory and intralaboratory variation measured using proficiency testing.

Design.—

Proficiency test data for antibody titration between 2014 and 2018 were obtained from the College of American Pathologists. Interlaboratory and intralaboratory variations were compared by analyzing the distribution of titer results by method and phase, comparing the results against the supplier’s quality control titer, and by evaluating the distribution of paired titer results when each laboratory received a sample with the same titer twice.

Results.—

A total of 1337 laboratories participated in the antibody titer proficiency test during the study period. Only 54.1% (5874 of 10 852) of anti-D and 63.4% (3603 of 5680) of anti-A reported responses were within 1 titer of the supplier’s intended result. Review of the agreement between laboratories of the same methodology found that 78.4% (3139 of 4004) for anti-A and 89.0% (9655 of 10 852) of laboratory responses for anti-D fell within 1 titer of the mode response. When provided with 2 consecutive samples of the same titer (anti-D titer: 16), 85% (367 of 434) of laboratories using the uniform procedure and 80% (458 of 576) using the other method reported a titer difference of 1 or less.

Conclusions.—

Despite advances, interlaboratory and intralaboratory variance for this assay remains high in comparison with the strong reliance on titer results in clinical practice. There needs to be a reevaluation of the role of this test in clinical decision-making.

The purpose of this study is to find out such factors that influence shopping cart abandonment as it is comparatively new phenomena to search. Online shopping cart abandonment (OSCA) is basically regarding not implementation of consumer purchasing decision. Different variables from past researches are taken under consideration to check the relationship with OSCA. This review paper gives insights to authenticate the relationship by applying qualitative, quantitative or mix method research specifically in culture of Pakistan. According to the investigation of previous papers there are inconsistent results between perceived risk and OSCA sometimes positive and sometimes negative. Emotional ambivalence and hesitation at checkout have also positive relationship. Emotional ambivalence, entertainment shopping value, hesitation at checkout is positively corelated with OSCA. The mediation of hesitation at checkout between emotional ambivalence and OSCA reduces the impact. Design has negative relationship with OSCA. While examining the given framework results the managers of Pakistani Industry might be able to lessen the OSCA behaviour among customers. And take betterment in reducing OSCA to improve Pakistani economy by increasing sales and profits.
QAUL QADIM DAN QAUL JADID ASY-SYAFI’I
Authors: Herdiansyah  , Umar M. Hasbi , Ramlah
Published: February 2023

This research is a type of library research, by examining sources from books and literature related to the issues discussed, or other supporting sources. With the focal point of Imam Shafi'i's Ijtihad, known as qaul qadim and qaul jadid in a review of the history and sociology of Islamic law. The conclusion in this study is that the two styles of Imam Syafi'i's ijtihad, both qaul qadim and qaul Jadid, according to some contemporary researchers, conclude that social condition factors have an influence on Islamic legal considerations contained in the fatwa resulting from a different ijtihad or a change in fatwa caused by considerations of reality. Social studies show that the determination of Imam Shafi'i's law is very sociological. Although this assumption is not agreed upon by some researchers. They denied that the different environmental conditions between Iraq and Egypt were not the cause of the emergence of qaul jadid, but that the difference in fatwas was partly due to Imam Syafi'i's growing knowledge with the discovery of hadiths that he had not previously encountered. Although they do not deny that social factors in society can influence the outcome of an ijtihad if it is related to the field of muamalah which is based on zhanni arguments such as masalahah or urf. But not in the field of worship which is based on qath'i. texts.

Published: February 2023

The problem that students often face in their learning is a misunderstanding in studying physics. The reason is because educators only teach physics abstractly through the classroom, without laboratory experiments (practice) or the use of other media aids, such as using ICT-based learning media. The research method used by researchers is research and development (R&D). R&D is a research model for the purpose of producing products and product feasibility tests. This research was conducted through five different stages of the ADDIE development model. Development, implementation and evaluation are not carried out because the purpose of this study is only to develop modules. This module is not directly applicable to classroom learning. The population used in the study was 153 students and 4 physics teachers from 3 high schools in Bengkulu City. The results of the needs analysis are valid and reliable, teachers and students of 3 high schools in Bengkulu City strongly agree with the development of E-modules for parabolic motion materials.
