The automatic extraction of bibliographic data remains a difficult task to the present day, when it's realized that the scientific publications are not in a standard format and every publications has its own template. There are many “regular expression” techniques and “supervised machine learning” techniques for extracting the entire details of the references mentioned within the bibliographic section. But there's no much difference within the percentage of their success. Our idea is to seek out whether unsupervised machine learning techniques can help us in increasing the share of success. This paper presents a technique for segregating and automatically extracting the individual components of references like Authors, Title of the references, publications details, etc., using “Unsupervised technique”, “Named-Entity recognition”(NER) technique and link these references to their corresponding full text article with the assistance of google.

Authors:   Assistant Professor, ECE DepartmentMahatma Gandhi Institute of TechnologyGandipet, Hyderabad., Saidulu*
Published: June 2020

Microstrip antenna is used in wide area of applications such as high speed vehicles, missiles, tanks and satellite communications. In these applications dielectric superstrate (or cover) is used above the square patch antenna for providing the protections from severe environmental conditions such as rain, snow, heat, and damage etc. The proposed square microstrip patch antenna is designed using coaxial probe feed technique and transmission line model and operated at center frequency of 2.40 GHz, which is lying in the S-band region. The proposed model is used in linear polarization applications. The square patch is fabricated on low loss dielectric substrate material having dielectric constant is 2.2 and loss tangent of the substrate material is 0.0009. Ansoft electromagnetic simulator software such as HFSS is used for simulating proposed model and studied the effect cover or superstrate on different parameters of square patch antenna. This paper mainly focuses on the performance of square patch antenna without superstrate, and with superstrate at different height of dielectric superstrate above the patch antenna. The result found of patch antenna without superstrate the bandwidth is 0.04GHz and gain is obtained 8.9 dB and 7.51 dB in azimuth and elevation respectively. The result observed of patch antenna with dielectric cover (or superstrate) at height H =0, the antenna performance characteristics are slightly degraded and also comparing the antenna with the bandwidth is decreased to 0.02GHz from 0.04 GHz and gain is decreases to 6.44 dB and 6.6 dB from 8.9 dB and 7.51 dB in both azimuth and elevation plane respectively. The decreased performance characteristics of antenna will be improved by varying height of the superstrate above the patch antenna.. At particular optimum height, the performance characteristics patch antenna will be almost same as the patch antenna without superstrates. The obtained simulated results good match with measurement results.

One of the social responsibilities of emerging technologies is to help physically challenged people. One of them is to assist the blind people to walk alone. The main challenges confronting the visually disabled people while walking is that they are not conscious of the environment as they move in and out because they are not fully aware of their position and direction with regard to traffic and barriers in their path. Smart shoes provide the blind people with auditory assistance in coping with the difficulties they face in walking like regular human beings. The objective is likely to make a self direction framework which helps outwardly tested (or daze) individuals to walk autonomously. The idea is more about the smart shoes that warn visually disabled people in their ways to challenge which may allow them to move with less collision. The target is to tackle a reliable solution that involves a shoe interacts with users through vibrations and audio alert. Our key contribution is towards energy efficient self guidance system.

Dantenų recesija – viena dažniausių ortodontinio gy­dymo komplikacijų. Dantenų recesijos atsiradimo priežastys nėra galutinai aiškios. Manoma, kad ji gali formuotis dėl pablogėjusios burnos higienos gydymo metu, ortodontinių judesių metu sukuriamos jėgos. Vieni autoriai nurodo, jog danties judesys iš alveo­linės ataugos kaulo yra dantenų atsitraukimą suke­liantis veiksnys, kiti šios asociacijos nenurodo. Darbo tikslas – išsiaiškinti ir įvertinti esamus įrodymus, pa­grindžiančius ortodontinio gydymo ir dantenų rece­sijų sąveiką; išanalizuoti naujausią mokslinę literatūrą apie dantenų recesijos atsiradimą individams, praėjus panašiam laiko tarpui po ortodontinio gydymo pa­baigos. Literatūros apžvalgai taikyta PRISMA at­rankos sistema. Elektroninė literatūros apžvalga at­likta naudojant PubMed ir Cochrane duomenų bazes, remiantis atrankos kriterijais. Į literatūros apžvalgą įtrauktos 3 publikacijos, kurios atitiko atrankos kri­terijus. Išanalizuotas dantenų recesijų išsivystymo dažnis, praėjus 5-7 metams po ortodontinio gydymo pabaigos. Literatūros apžvalgos duomenimis, dantenų recesijos formavimuisi svarbus laiko tarpas, praėjęs po ortodontinio gydymo: didėjant laiko tarpsniui po gydymo, didėja dantenų recesijos tikimybė. Kai ku­rių autorių nuomone, dantų recesijos eiga gali būti siejama su paciento lytimi ir amžiumi ortodontinio gydymo metu.

Hipodontija – tai vieno ar daugiau dantų užuomazgų neišsivystymas. Dažniausiai nustatoma apatinio žan­dikaulio antrųjų kaplių, viršutinio žandikaulio antrųjų kandžių arba pirmųjų kaplių hipodontija. Šio darbo tikslas – įvertinti, susisteminti, išanalizuoti moksli­nėje literatūroje aprašytus tyrimus, kuriuose vertinami skirtingi gydymo metodai, bei nustatyti geriausią gy­dymo alternatyvą pacientams, turintiems neišsivys­čiusius šoninius kandžius. Šioje sisteminėje apžval­goje išanalizuoti 8 nesutrumpintų tekstų straipsniai. Remiantis atrinktų straipsnių rezultatų duomenimis, galima teigti, kad hipodontija dažniau pasireiškia mo­terims nei vyrams. Ortodontinis tarpo užpildymas ir implantacija yra pirmo pasirinkimo metodai. Orto­dontinis tarpo užpildymas sukelia mažiau periodon­tologinių problemų, lyginant su implantacija. Tiek implantacija, tiek ortodontinis tarpo užpildymas, re­modeliuojant iltinį dantį antruoju kandžiu, gali sukelti nenatūralius dantenų spenelio pakitimus.

Published: June 2020

Skausmas yra viena dažniausių kreipimosi į vaikų skubios pagalbos skyrių priežasčių. Dauguma vaikų patiria skausmingas diagnostikos procedūras, kurios kelia baimę, skausmą ir nerimą. Vaiko patiriamas skausmas dažnai neužtektinai pripažįstamas, netiks­liai nustatomas jo stiprumas, todėl neužtikrinamas adekvatus nuskausminimas.
Tikslas – nustatyti vaikų skausmo pojūčio skirtumus nuo suaugusiųjų, pristatyti skausmo vertinimo skales, padedančias atpažinti ir tiksliau įvertinti vaikų pati­riamą skausmą, siekiant adekvataus nuskausminimo.
Tyrimo objektas ir metodika. Atlikta sisteminė lite­ratūros apžvalga vaikų patiriamo ūminio skausmo tema, naudojantis paieškos sistema Pubmed ir Goo­gle Scholar duomenų bazėse. Rasta 427 publikacijos. Analizei atrinkti 9 straipsniai, aprėpiantys 2010-2019 metų laikotarpį.
Rezultatai. Sisteminėje literatūros apžvalgoje išna­grinėti 9 straipsniai. Įtraukti straipsniai nagrinėjantys kūdykių ir vaikų skauso neurofiziologinius ypatumus. Aptartos įvairaus amžiaus vaikams taikomos skausmo vertinimo skalės.
Išvados. Vaikų skausmo neurofiziologiniai ypatumai labai skiriasi nuo suaugusiųjų. Nepakankamas nu­skausminimas gali lemti ilgalaikius skausmo suvo­kimo pokyčius ir sukelti specifines su tuo susijusio el­gesio išraiškas. Pastaraisiais metais daugėja duomenų, nurodančių kūdikių-vaikų-paauglių skausmo efek­tyvesnio įvertinimo bei gydymo poreikį. Nepaisant turimų priemonių bei specifinių skalių, nepakankamai adekvatus skausmo vertinimas lemia nepakankamą ar netinkamą nuskausminimą. Geresnei skausmo kontro­lei užtikrinti svarbu mokyti medicinos personalą bei vaikų artimuosius, kaip laiku ir kuo tiksliau atpažinti vaiko jaučiamą skausmą bei jo stiprumą.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF PATHOGENESIS, DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF SPONTANEOUS CORONARY ARTERY DISSECTION
Authors: Rėkus Algirdas , Jaruševičius Gediminas
Published: June 2020

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It was first described 80 years ago. Pathogenetic me­chanisms are most likely to be associated with inti­mas tear or bleeding vasa-vasorum, which resulting in intramural haemorrhage. SCAD typically occurs in young women who do not have coronary heart disease risk factors and who have acute coronary syndrome. Half of all SCAD presents with ST – ele­vation myocardial infarction (STEMI), while the rest with non – ST – elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The gold standard method for diagnosis is interventional coronary artery angiography. After the acute ischemic onset syndrome, most patients have a stable, benign clinical course, and eventually expe­rience spontaneous vessel wall healing. Therefore, conservative treatment (a watchful strategy) is recom­mended as the initial treatment. For the majority of cases as interventional and surgical treatment in most cases seems to be suboptimal. In this extremely com­plex situation, several novel and attractive coronary interventions have been proposed. The risk factors, pathogenesis theories, diagnosis, management, pro­gnosis of SCAD will be summarized in this review.
Deterministic Gibbs Sampling for Data Association in Multi-Object Tracking
Authors: Wolf Laura M. , Baum Marcus
Published: June 2020

In multi-object tracking, multiple objects generate multiple sensor measurements, which are used to estimate the objects' state simultaneously. Since it is unknown from which object a measurement originates, a data association problem arises. Considering all possible associations is computationally infeasible for large numbers of objects and measurements. Hence, approximation methods are applied to compute the most relevant associations. Here, we focus on deterministic methods, since multi-object tracking is often applied in safety-critical areas. In this work we show that Herded Gibbs sampling, a deterministic version of Gibbs sampling, applied in the labeled multi-Bernoulli filter, yields results of the same quality as randomized Gibbs sampling while having comparable computational complexity.
We conclude that it is a suitable deterministic alternative to randomized Gibbs sampling and could be a promising approach for other data association problems.
Insomnia: what is currently available
Authors: Marais A , Osuch E
Published: June 2020

Insomnia is an important public health burden and is the most ubiquitous sleep disorder in the general population, requiring accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Sleep hygiene and cognitive behavioural therapy form the foundation of management. In addition, various pharmacological entities are at hand to augment insomnia disorder. Acute insomnia requires short-term management with appropriately indicated hypnotic agents, while chronic sleeping difficulties benefit more from antidepressants. This article informs the reader about the currently available sleeping agents in South Africa, and may not include more effective or potent agents used in other parts of the world that are not yet accessible for local prescription.
Helminths in South Africa: management of cestode and trematode infections in humans
Authors: van Zyl RL
Published: June 2020

Sub-Saharan Africa has to contend with many challenges, including inadequate healthcare systems, lack of optimal sanitation, and clean water and food. All of these contribute to malnutrition and an increased risk of infections, including parasitism by cestodes and trematodes. Schistosomiasis is a category-2 notifiable trematode (fluke) infection, whereas cestode (tapeworm) infections need not be reported to the South African Department of Health. Epidemiological data for helminthiasis in South Africa is scant, with a paucity of publications on the South African scenario. As such, a complete picture of the impact of helminth infections on all age groups in South Africa does not exist. These parasitic diseases not only have an impact on socio economic development of a country, community and families, but also contribute to the chronic and detrimental effects on the health and nutritional status of the host, including the impaired development of children. In order to break the cycle of poverty and disease, a strong education drive is required in schools and communities to provide effective strategies and guidelines on preventative measures that result in avoidance of exposure to infective stages of Schistosoma and Taenia tapeworms. Also, it is imperative that healthcare professionals are able to recognise the signs and symptoms, so that interventions can be promptly initiated. The current anthelmintic treatments available in South Africa are effective against cestodes and trematodes, with no drug resistance having being reported. The need for compliancy when taking anthelmintic drugs must be emphasised.
Potential cardiovascular benefits of GLP-1 analogues: evidence and implications for type 2 diabetes management
Authors: Vally M
Published: June 2020

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues are an injectable therapy used in the management of type 2 diabetes. These drugs seem to reduce cardiovascular risk factors and clinical trial data seems to suggest that liraglutide and semaglutide reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes and concomitant atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The search for agents such as these (and SGLT2 inhibitors) that not only manage diabetes but also reduce cardiovascular risk has resulted in a paradigm shift in the way diabetes can be managed.
Learning to Identify the Foreign in Developed Countries: The Example of Ireland
Authors: Ireland Colin
Published: June 2020

This article presents an essay that highlights how an English-speaking country with a developed, open, globalized economy in Western Europe—in this case, Ireland—can be used to teach American undergraduates how to identify, appreciate, and learn from the foreignness they inevitably encounter when they travel beyond the boundaries of the United States. American students must leave behind the mindset of a superpower and become sensitive to the strategies that a small, relatively powerless nation must adapt in order to survive and thrive economically, politically, and militarily in the community of nations. Ameican students enter an ancient culture that has maintained a remarkable continuity for millennia despite significant linguistic, political and social disruptions; that has suffered the loss of a language and its literature; that has been subjugated by a powerful neighbor and recovered its independence; that for centuries has had its population dispersed worldwide and yet retained a sense of identity.
Anonymous Sojourners: Mapping the Territory of Caribbean Experiences of Immersion for Language Learning
Authors: Craig Ian
Published: June 2020

This paper is a qualitative analysis of the experiences of sojourners from the Anglophone Caribbean undertaking linguistic immersion in France and Colombia. Diaries, filmed interviews and questionnaires were used to gather the perceptions of eleven sojourners from small Eastern Caribbean territories (principally Barbados), whose experiences are compared to that of students from much larger, globally recognizable nations (the subject of most study abroad research). The “non-recognizability” of the Caribbean sojourners was found to be a source of some irritation, as many were forced to accept misidentification with Jamaica. A minority reported experiencing discomfort arising from their belonging to a racial minority in the host country. Though some of the female participants recounted being the object of sexually motivated “calling out” behaviour involving racialized epithets (particularly in Colombia), discomfort was minimized by their habituation to this behavior at home. The testimony gathered indicated that participants achieved intercultural gains, with responses to the home territory on re-entry being typically ambivalent. Practical steps to mitigate the non-recognizability factor by developing materials to supply future sojourners are proposed in the Conclusion, together with proposals to improve orientation and follow-up by harnessing the experiences of these and future sojourners and thus developing Caribbean-specific intercultural learning materials and to cultivate improved employment opportunities on return by fostering links with public and private-sector bodies. It is hoped that the account of these Caribbean sojourners’ experiences will raise general awareness in the study abroad community of issues surrounding sojourners from smaller and less recognizable territories.
First City, Anti-City: Cain, Heterotopia, and Study Abroad
Authors: Kenney Lance
Published: June 2020

A discussion of the city’s relation to study abroad provides an opportunity to insert a theoretical element into the pedagogy of the profession. This article presents an essay that first introduces the Foucauldian concepts of “genealogy” and “heterotopia” to the idea of the “city,” and in turn applies the same terms to the place of the city in the study abroad experience. Then, turning from Michel Foucault as “philosopher of space” to Paul Virilio, “philosopher of time,” the article demonstrates the interplay between Foucault’s heterotopia and Virilio’s “anti-city,” showing how study abroad in the contemporary, globalized city requires distinct programmatic changes to the (s)pace of education abroad.
Los Cuchimilcos: a museum made by children and for children
Authors: Florencia Puebla Maria , Cuadrao Cinthya , Escobar Ruy , Pedraza Elizabeth
Published: June 2020

In this work we approach the experience of the Los Cuchimilcos Museum. This was a work done with the directors, teachers and students of the Nuestra Señora del Buen Consejo School, located in the town of Breña (Lima, Peru). The purpose was to reopen a museum that existed in the place. Through three work stages, 15 participants between the ages of 11 and 14 jointly, playfully and dialogically carried out a museological and heritage process that resulted in the design and assembly of an archeology museum. In the process, we observed and understood other elements and dialogues in heritage and collective work, which led us to make significant considerations when working with culture, memory and the past. This work made us rethink and evaluate the ways on how the archaeological heritage is assumed and works; where most of the time adultcentrism prevails; as the best way to build knowledge and represent it museally. However, with the experience presented here, we observe that other ways of doing museology are also possible.
Keywords: children's museum; socio-museology; archeology; heritage.
