Published: December 2024

Objective: The objective of the study was to study the efficacy of topical agents like betadine solution and nano silver solution/gel in the management of diabetic foot ulcer.
Materials: The study was a prospective, parallel-group, comparative trial. The patients were admitted with diabetic foot ulcer for a period of 2 years. A comparative study was done between both groups regarding the time of healing. Number of dressings and reduction of ulcer size was monitored. The number of patients included in our study was 60 out of which 30 were in test group with betadine solution and 30 were in another test group with nano silver solution.
Results: Age distribution, 25 patients are between 51 and 60 years of age. In sex distribution, males are affected more than females. In mode of onset, 68.75% of ulcers are traumatic in onset; plantar aspect and forefoot are most. Blood sugar levels between 200 and 300 mg% are in 38.33% of patients. Patients receiving insulin were 7l.66%, which helped in good glycemic control. Average duration of hospital stay is less with test Group l, that is, 30 patients stay. Percentage reduction of ulcer is between 91 and 99%, in 27 patients of test Group l While only six patients in test Group 2 had 91–99% reduction in ulcer size with p=0.00 and is highly significant, number of dressings required per patient are l0.225±2.957 in test group and are 21.65±3.847 in test Group 2, p=0.00 and significant.
Conclusions: Thus using nano silver dressings in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers is found to be safe, effective, promoter of wound healing promote epithelization, and accelerates healing. Eliminates anaerobes and breaks microbial synergy more effectively than simple betadine dressing. Hence, nano silver gel proves to be more effective in the management of diabetic foot ulcer.

Authors: Chen Chi , Guo Bing Rong , Liu Si Qi , Wang Shuang Yi , Zhu Ling Hui Zi , Li Li
Published: December 2024

This study explores strategies for the construction of low-carbon campuses in Chinese universities under the framework of sustainable development and finds that there is a significant lack of awareness and participation among college students in low-carbon education and practice. Through a questionnaire survey of college students in Hubei Province, the study analyzes students' awareness, attitudes, and behaviors regarding low-carbon campuses, revealing issues faced by universities in promoting the low-carbon transition, such as inadequate infrastructure, insufficient integration of educational content, and limited student participation. In response to these challenges, the study proposes several feasible suggestions, including strengthening low-carbon infrastructure (such as the introduction of clean energy and optimization of intelligent power systems), integrating low-carbon education into the curriculum system, promoting experiential learning through green activities, and creating a campus culture of environmental protection. The study believes that by cultivating college students' low-carbon behavior habits and environmental awareness, universities can not only contribute to the achievement of the "dual carbon" goals but also become a key force in promoting sustainable development throughout society. This study provides theoretical support and practical guidance for the transition of universities to sustainable campuses and offers a reference for other educational institutions to achieve low-carbon development goals.
From Mimicry to Mockery: A Reading of Upamanyu Chatterjee’s IAS Novels
Authors: Das Chandrima
Published: December 2024

The day-to day micro-governance of the world’s largest democracy is performed through the multi-tiered machinery of the Indian Administrative Service which was established by the East India Company as the Indian Civil Service in the late eighteenth century. Ontologically perceived, it is an immensely complex system, devised by the administrators of a colonial government to rule a group of ‘natives’ with whom they had hardly anything in common. The inevitable heavy influx of Indians into the service post-Independence has only accentuated its hybrid nature. This article seeks to understand the hybrid nature of this system and its representatives through the fictional representation by Upamanyu Chatterjee of the “steel frame” of the welfare state. In Upamanyu Chatterjee’s novels, English, August (1988) and its sequel The Mammaries of the Welfare State (2000), the protagonist, Agastya Sen, an IAS officer, is a classic representation of the hybridity of the system that he serves. Burdened with the name of a mythical Indian Saint, Agastya, the son of a Hindu Bengali father and a Goanese Christian mother, epitomizes the in-betweenness of the postcolonial subject. His missionary education and Anglicized upbringing have conferred upon him several nicknames like August and English. His existential crisis comes to a head when he finds himself taxed with the task of understanding the system of governance in the far-off district of Madna as a trainee officer. This article seeks to understand Agastya’s plight as symptomatic of the problems inherent within the structure of the Indian Administrative Service and the state of India itself. Using the theoretical framework developed by Homi K Bhabha in The Location of Culture, I would like to understand Agastya as a postcolonial ‘mimic’ subject and the system he represents as a ‘hybrid’ and ‘ambivalent’ one.
The Politics of Decolonization: Addressing Eurocentrism in Politics and Policy
Authors: Wani Shahid Ul Haq
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the Eurocentric bias that plagues the discipline of political science and explores ways to evaluate geography. Historically, political science has been dominated by Western theories and methods, leaving non-Western political theories lacking. This Eurocentrism not only ignores the diversity of international politics, but also leads to international conflict. This paper argues for a more unified and representative approach to politics by examining the political realm, the laws that currently govern, and the integration of Global South theory into international relations theory. This paper also explores the need to address research using alternative methods that reflect the complexity of non-Western political systems. Finally, decolonizing political science requires not only a broadening of inquiry but also a rethinking of the discipline’s fundamental assumptions in order to create a more equitable and universal understanding of politics.

Review LDR Sensing Solar Lamp
Authors: Mali Ms. Prachi A.
Published: December 2024

Automatic Street Light Control System is a simple yet powerful concept, which uses transistor as a switch. By using
this system manual works are 100% removed. It automatically switches ON lights when the sunlight goes below the visible region
of our eyes. This is done by a sensor called Light Dependant Resistor (LDR). (LDR) which senses the light actually like our eyes.
It automatically switches OFF lights whenever the sunlight comes, visible to our eyes. By using this system energy consumption
is also reduced because nowadays the manually operated street lights are not switched off even the sunlight comes and also
switched on earlier before sunset. In this project, no need of manual operation like ON time and OFF time setting. This project
clearly demonstrates the working of transistor in saturation region and cut-off region. The working of relay is also known.

Published: December 2024

It is crucial to obtain continuous data on unplanned urbanization regions in order to develop precise plans for future studies in these regions. An unplanned urbanization area was selected for analysis, and road extraction was performed using very high-resolution unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images. In this regard, the Sat2Graph deep learning model was employed, utilizing the object detection tool integrated within the deep learning package published by ArcGIS Pro software, for the purpose of road extraction from a very high-resolution UAV image. The high-resolution UAV images were subjected to analysis using the photogrammetry method, with the results obtained through the application of the Sat2Graph deep learning model. The resulting road extraction was employed for the purpose of data enhancement on OpenStreetMap (OSM). This will facilitate the expeditious and precise implementation of data updates conducted by volunteers. It should be noted that the recall, F1 score, precision ratio/uncertainty accuracy, average producer accuracy, and intersection over union of products were automatically extracted with the algorithm and determined to be 0.816, 0.827, 0.838, 0.792, and 0.597, respectively.
A Node Point Approach for Real-Time Hand Gesture Recognition Using Support Vector Machines (SVM)
Authors: Khalil Nida , Maheen Danish  , Kanza Zafar
Published: December 2024

Gesture recognition systems have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their ability to improve the user experience and accessibility in real time. However, accurate and efficient hand gesture recognition remains a challenge, especially in dynamic environments. This study presents real-time hand gestures and poses using computer vision. Fundamentally, the system can identify and categorize a wide range of hand movements through real-time analysis of the node connect points of the user's fingers. Every successive point is rendered in such a way that associations between several points have been oriented, and differences between each gesture may be classified. Apart from this, the machine learning model is to be trained on such joint points of the user’s fingers using angle approximation in between them and gradient as per pixels per inch according to a hand gesture-capturing adapter like a camera. For this task to be done, we aim to use the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm for recognizing the classifying parameters of live gestures. The study utilizes support vector machines (SVM) to deliberately cluster signals according to their node focuses. To enhance the accuracy and resilience of the whole model, a support vector machine is incorporated into the classifier to maximize the classification function of the courier-based domain.

Published: December 2024

Fishes are intriguing creatures that live in a wide range of aquatic settings, including freshwater rivers and lakes, oceans, and deep-sea trenches. Freshwater fish are considered a poor man's protein supplement since they are readily available in lakes, rivers, natural ponds, rice fields, beels, and fisheries. Many freshwater fish species resemble one another, making it difficult to classify them based on their exterior appearance. Manual fish species identification is always error-prone since it requires knowledge. Recently, computer vision and deep learning have played a key role in underwater species classification and detection studies. This research focuses on fish species categorization with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and two popular architectures, ResNet50 and VGG16. The goal of this research is to create an automated system that can correctly recognize and classify different fish species based on dataset. The two architecture ResNet50 and VGG16 are fine-tuned and CNN for training and validation of the collected fish data. The suggested method entails preprocessing the image data, training the CNN models with ResNet50 and VGG16 architectures, and assessing their performance using measures such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. This study reports the best overall classification accuracy, precision, and recall rate, which is almost 95%. Comprehensive empirical investigation has proven that when the weight and bias learning rate increases, so does the classifier's validation loss.

Psychosocial Effect of Sport on Disabled Individuals
Authors: H Gümüşdağ , R Doğar
Published: December 2024

Introduction: It is well known that sport is a necessary activity for a healthy and happy life and is important for all people.
However, sport has a different meaning for disabled people. Because sport can open a new window for disabled people who
already face many obstacles in their lives and live with the stress caused by these obstacles. Regardless of the type and degree
of disability, moving, exercising, participating in sports activities gives pleasure to the individual, and the pleasure of moving
increases the individual's motivation to live. In addition to its positive contribution to health, through sport the individual
can share his loneliness with other people, make friends, learn solidarity, recognise his talents and have the opportunity to
develop them, and develop positive feelings towards himself, his body and other people.
Methods: Phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. In phenomenological

Este artigo apresenta uma revisão bibliográfica que investiga a complexa interação entre a Educação 5.0 e a cultura. A Educação 5.0, impulsionada por tecnologias como Inteligência Artificial e Realidade Virtual/Aumentada, promete revolucionar a aprendizagem, mas sua implementação requer uma compreensão profunda dos contextos culturais. A análise explora como a cultura digital, com suas desigualdades de acesso e valores específicos, influencia a adoção e o impacto das tecnologias educacionais. A pesquisa destaca a importância da inclusão digital para garantir que todos os alunos possam participar plenamente do processo educativo. A preservação e difusão de culturas através da digitalização de acervos e criação de plataformas colaborativas online também são analisadas, enfatizando o potencial da Educação 5.0 para promover a diversidade cultural. No entanto, a revisão aponta para desafios significativos, incluindo a necessidade de investimentos em infraestrutura tecnológica, formação docente em pedagogia digital e políticas públicas que promovam a inclusão e a equidade. A falta de recursos, a resistência à mudança e a necessidade de desenvolver recursos culturalmente sensíveis são obstáculos que precisam ser superados para garantir o sucesso da Educação 5.0. O estudo conclui que a construção de uma Educação 5.0 eficaz e inclusiva exige uma abordagem holística que considere as dimensões pedagógicas, éticas e culturais da integração de tecnologias na educação, promovendo a colaboração entre educadores, governos e a sociedade civil.
PRINCÍPIOS E PREMISSAS DA EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL ESCOLAR: UM ESTUDO DE CASO A PARTIR DO PROCESSO DE CONSTITUIÇÃO E DESENVOLVIMENTO DE UMA ESCOLA AGRÍCOLA LOCALIZADA NO INTERIOR DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL - BRASIL
Authors: Claro Paulo Cesar Gastaldo , Farias Magda Regina Dias
Published: December 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo descrever, por meio da narrativa autobiográfica, os princípios e as premissas da Educação Ambiental (EA) identificados no processo de constituição e desenvolvimento da Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Agrícola, Florestal e Ambiental  (EMAFA), situada no município de Ilópolis, estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Optou-se pelo método autobiográfico por se tratar de uma pesquisa de mestrado realizada no ano de 2003, cuja (re)leitura dos dados centra-se no olhar do pesquisador 21 anos depois. A pesquisa se situa no campo da EA, do tipo qualitativa, sendo adotada como estratégia de investigação o estudo de caso. A análise das informações foi realizada por meio de uma adaptação da análise de conteúdo proposta por Bardin (2016). O escopo teórico utilizado referencia autores da EA Crítica (EAC), imbricados com textos e reportagens publicados sobre a EMAFA. Para fins de organização do diálogo proposto, dividiu-se o ensaio em três momentos, a saber: o primeiro, delineia a constituição inicial da escola enquanto proposta pedagógica voltada à EA. O segundo, contextualiza a organização regimental da escola, bem como a estrutura curricular. Por último, apresenta a análise do pesquisador em relação ao contributo da escola como prática exitosa de EA para o estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Como principais inferências obtidas, destacam-se o pioneirismo no Brasil em relação a inserção da EA no currículo, a propalação de práticas voltadas ao Desenvolvimento Sustentável (DS) e a valorização de práticas educativas conservacionistas.

O estudo avaliou a prevalência de sobrepeso, obesidade e adiposidade subcutânea em 1.229 adolescentes escolares do município de Rio Verde-GO, com idades entre 15 e 17 anos. A amostra foi composta por 763 alunos da rede pública (62,1%) e 466 da rede privada (37,9%), com 52,8% do sexo feminino e 47,2% masculino. Os resultados revelaram que, embora a maioria dos adolescentes apresentasse IMC dentro da normalidade (79,1%), 12,4% estavam em sobrepeso e 5,9% em obesidade. A obesidade foi mais prevalente entre alunos da rede privada (7,94%) em relação à pública (4,72%), enquanto o SDC indicou excesso de gordura corporal em ambas as redes, sem diferença estatística significativa. Quanto ao sexo, observou-se maior prevalência de obesidade nos meninos (8,79%) comparados às meninas (3,39%), enquanto as meninas apresentaram maior concentração de adiposidade subcutânea. Esses dados destacam a influência de fatores socioeconômicos, culturais e comportamentais na composição corporal dos adolescentes. O estudo reforça a necessidade de intervenções educativas integradas, envolvendo escolas e famílias, para promover hábitos saudáveis e prevenir doenças relacionadas ao excesso de peso. Políticas públicas focadas em ações personalizadas, considerando diferenças entre sexos e redes de ensino, são essenciais. A ampliação de estudos futuros é recomendada para avaliar os impactos de intervenções de longo prazo nessa população.

O objetivo principal deste trabalho é contribuir com o processo de gestão do Registro da Construção Civil (RCC) quanto ao seu impacto sobre a ocupação urbana e propor um modelo estatístico. E quanto aos objetivos específicos: definir as variáveis dependente e independentes para a apresentação de um modelo adequado, estudar o modelo matemático baseado nas inferências estatísticas mais adequadas aos dados obtidos, compreender como as condições de ocupação urbana influenciam na geração de RCC e aplicar o modelo desenvolvido através do método de regressão linear múltipla. A metodologia seguiu as etapas a seguir: a coleta e o levantamento de dados realizada nos órgãos públicos acerca da geração de resíduos; na segunda etapa houve a confecção de mapas para aprimoramento do modelo; a terceira etapa houve a aplicação da regressão linear múltipla; e por fim, na quarta etapa houve a análise dos resultados gerados através do modelo estatístico. Como resultado da pesquisa foi observado que após simulação da inferência estatística através do SisDEA® as variáveis verticalização de domicílios por apartamento, pontos críticos de descarte irregular, o bem-estar das condições socioeconômicas e a renda média per capita são fatores determinantes na geração de resíduos, sendo assim a fiscalização adequada pode reduzir a falta de infraestrutura na gestão de resíduos. O modelo é aplicável à gestão pública, permitindo a mitigação de impactos ambientais e reforça a necessidade de integrar políticas urbanísticas e socioeconômicas na gestão de resíduos.
