Якість пилку та насіння інтродукованих видів сосни в умовах ДП «Киівська ЛНДС»
Authors: Shlonchak G. A. , Shlonchak A. V. , Bazan T. A.
Published: March 2020

Наведено результати дослідження якості пилку 18 видів сосни 37-річного віку на пінетумі Старопетрівського лісництва ДП «Київська ЛНДС». Із 29 посаджених видів роду Pinus дотепер зберіглося 20. Усі види сосни, представлені на пінетумі, «цвітуть». Природно-кліматичні умови регіону сприяють утворенню життєздатного пилку (65,9–99,8 %) з незначною кількістю аномальних пилкових зерен.

У процесі пророщування пилку виявлено відхилення від норми у вигляді двох пилкових трубок майже у всіх видів сосни. Життєздатність пилку інтродукованих видів сосни та інтенсивність росту пилкових трубок пов’язані між собою. Якість пилку не є причиною низького виходу виповненого насіння. Виявлено, що на пінетумі ДП «Київська ЛНДС» дерева-інтродуценти не утворюють достатньої кількості якісного насіння.

Наведені результати дослідження кліматичних і ґрунтових умов Нижньодніпровських пісків на прикладі заказника «Урочище “Саги”». Визначено структуру клімату в погодах, презентовано новий метод побудови результівного вектору рози перенесення. Розраховано статистичні показники діаметра стовбурів берези дніпровської (Betula borysthenica Klokov). Досліджено будову ґрунтового профілю в трьох характерних точках мезорельєфу території – на вершині дюни, у її підніжжя та в березовій куртині в одному із замкнених понижень дефляційного походження. Визначено твердість ґрунту, яка з глибиною до 14 см збільшується до 37 кг·см-2, що є ознакою складних умов проростання насіння та проникнення коріння в ґрунт. Об’ємна маса досягає 1,7 г·см-3. За гранулометричним складом ґрунти характеризуються середньою крупністю , є однорідними. Коефіцієнт фільтрації в досліджуваних точках варіює від 2,5 до 11,3 мм·хв-1. Встановлено, що навіть розріджена суха трав’яниста рослинність за небезпечних поривів вітру швидкістю до 13,2 м·с-1 на висоті 2 м знижує його швидкість на висоті 8 см до 2,3 м·с-1.

Published: March 2020

Objetivou-se investigar a presença de estresse em técnicos em enfermagem de um hospital público. Trata-se de um estudo transversal analí­tico com abordagem quantitativa. O estresse foi investigado através da mensuração do cortisol sanguí­neo e da aplicação da Escala de Estresse no Trabalho. A amostra foi constituí­da por 44 técnicos em enfermagem, sendo maioria do sexo feminino, solteiros e com média de idade de 36,4 anos. A prevalência de estresse segundo o instrumento aplicado foi de 54,54%, enquanto o cortisol sanguí­neo apontou estresse em 6,81% dos participantes. Não foi evidenciada correlação entre os dois métodos utilizados para mensuração do estresse. Sugere-se a realização de novas pesquisas que utilizem medidas fisiológicas e psicológicas para avaliação do estresse, com vistas a elucidar sua etiologia e criar subsí­dios para preveni-lo ou diminuir sua prevalência no ambiente laboral.Palavras-chave: estresse fisiológico, educação técnica em enfermagem, saúde do trabalhador, biomarcadores.

Published: March 2020

The inflammatory cytokine Stem Cell Factor (SCF, ligand of c-kit receptor) has been implicated as a pro-oncogenic driver and an adverse prognosticator in several human cancers. Increased SCF levels have recently been reported in a small series of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), however its precise role in CLL pathophysiology remains elusive. In this study, CLL cells were found to predominantly express the membrane isoform of SCF that is known to elicit a more robust activation of the c-kit receptor. SCF was significantly overexpressed in CLL cells compared to healthy tonsillar B cells whilst it correlated with adverse-prognostic biomarkers, shorter time-to-first treatment and shorter overall survival. Activation of immune receptors and long-term cell-cell interactions with the mesenchymal stroma led to an elevation of SCF primarily in adverse-prognostic CLL cases. On the contrary, suppression of oxidative stress and the BTK inhibitor Ibrutinib negated SCF levels. Interestingly, SCF significantly correlated with mitochondrial dynamics and HIF-1α which have previously been linked with clinical aggressiveness in CLL. SCF was able to elicit direct biological effects in CLL cells affecting redox homeostasis and cell proliferation. Overall, the aberrantly expressed SCF in CLL cells emerges as a key response regulator to microenvironmental stimuli whilst correlating with poor prognosis. On these grounds, specific targeting of this inflammatory molecule could serve as a novel therapeutic approach in CLL.

Study of Efficacy and Safety of Acitretin as Monotherapy in the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Plaque Type Psoriasis
Authors: Sarkar Sumitendra Kumar , Sen Krishna Gopal , Mostofa Md Kamal , Rahman Md Habibur
Published: March 2020

Psoriasis is a chronic papulosquamous disorder with remissions and exacerbations. Varied estimates of the population prevalence of the disease in different parts of the world range from 0.1 - 3%. It is not uncommon in our country. Although there are no treatment options offering a complete cure, a number of options exist for providing symptomatic relief, inducing as well as prolonging remission. Various systemic therapies such as methotrexate, acitretin, cyclosporine, and biologic agents can be used. A review of pharmacokinetics, safety and a discussion of relapse rate establish acitretin, an aromatic retinoid as an efficacious, convenient, oral monotherapy for initial and maintenance of severe psoriasis. A prospective clinical trial was conducted to find out the efficacy and safety of acitretin as monotherapy in the treatment of moderate to severe plaque type psoriasis (PASI range 10-42). Thirty two clinically diagnosed cases of moderate to severe plaque type psoriasis attending the Skin and VD out patient department of Faridpur Medical College Hospital, Faridpur were selected randomly. Majority (46.9%) were between 61 to 80 years of age and only 3.1% patients were in the <20 years age group. The average age was 57.3 years and range was 19-90 years. Majority (68.8%) of the patients were male and 31.2% patients were female. The male female ratio was 2.2:1. After 8 weeks of treatment with acitretin PASI 50 and PASI 75 response rates were 55% and 24% respectively and after 12 weeks of treatment, PASI 50 and PASI 75 response rates were 75% and 50% respectively. As side effects of the treatment, 4(12.5%) patients developed alopecia, each of xerophthalmia and cheilitis was seen in 3(9.37%) patients, each of fatigue and pruritus was seen in 2(6.25%) patients and only 1(3.12%) patient developed myalgia. This study demonstrates that acitretin as monotherapy is effective and safe in the treatment of moderate to severe plaque type psoriasis.

Published: March 2020

Inguinal hernia is a very common surgical problem for which mesh based technique particularly Lichtenstein repair is considered as standard. However, it is not free from some major and bothersome complications. Desarda technique of non-mesh hernia repair invented by the Indian surgeon is claimed as low cost tension free procedure with promising results. The objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of Desarda procedure in country like Bangladesh as a treatment of primary inguinal hernia in men by comparing with Lichtenstein repair in terms of various parameters. One hundred and sixty male patients between ages of 18-70 years with uncomplicated primary inguinal hernia were initially randomized to perform the one of the two procedures in every alternate patient. Outcome were measured and analyzed. A total of 100 patients were finally studied with a follow up of 2 years. Operative time and immediate postoperative pain were significantly less in Desarda arm. Cost and foreign body sensation were also in favour of Desarda group. There was no recurrence in either group. Desarda repair is easy to perform and takes less time. It is cost effective with a comparable clinical outcome to standard Lichtenstein repair at least in short term.

Differential response of forest-forming seaweeds to elevated turbidity may facilitate ecosystem shifts on temperate reefs
Authors: Blain CO , Shears NT
Published: March 2020

Underwater light is essential for fuelling coastal productivity. However, elevated turbidity, resulting from land-based activities and climate change, is often overlooked as a threat to coastal ecosystems. Understanding how low light, and specifically the temporal delivery of light, affects the productivity of forest-forming species is necessary to predict how ecosystems and species will respond to future increases in turbidity. Outdoor mesocosm experiments were used to compare the low-light tolerance of 2 forest-forming macrophytes that vary in their distribution in relation to turbidity, and investigate how the temporal delivery of light, i.e. press vs. pulse low-light disturbance, affects net primary productivity (NPP). We showed that the kelpEcklonia radiata, which dominates reefs with low turbidity, is more productive per unit biomass under high-light conditions than the fucoidCarpophyllum flexuosum, which typifies more turbid waters. Under low light,E. radiatasuffered greater tissue loss and had lower NPP thanC. flexuosum. Under both press and pulse treatments,E. radiatashowed significant losses of lamina biomass and reduced NPP, whileC. flexuosumshowed net growth under press disturbance, and only lost tissue and had reduced NPP under pulse disturbance. The greater tolerance ofC. flexuosumto decreased light, and differential responses ofE. radiataandC. flexuosumto press and pulse low-light conditions, provide mechanistic support forC. flexuosumbeing better suited to turbid low-light environments thanE. radiata. These results suggest future increases in turbidity may facilitate a shift from kelp-dominated forests to alternate states, resulting in reduced primary productivity.
“Pen and tongue” untied: Lillias Hamilton's uncensored view of ʿAbd al-Rahman Khan
Authors: Kadrie Namatullah
Published: March 2020

Many Europeans went to Afghanistan in the 19th-century and entered the service of ʿAbd al-Rahman Khan, the Amir of Afghanistan (r. 1880–1901). Almost all of the Amir's employees abstained from publishing anything while inside the country; but upon leaving or escaping Afghanistan wrote voluminously about their experiences, which were critical of the Amir. Taking Lillias Hamilton, who served as court physician to ʿAbd al-Rahman from 1894 to 1897 as a case study, this paper argues that Hamilton practiced self-censorship, not only in Afghanistan, but after fleeing the country. Although Hamilton published a book and a large number of articles, and presented numerous talks after leaving Afghanistan, her publications and lectures intentionally eschewed any analyses of the Amir and focused instead on trivial matters. Only after the Amir's death in October 1901 did Hamilton do away with the mantle of self-censorship, and begin to express her polemical views of the Amir. These revelations, which include the Amir's despotic rule and unorthodox religious beliefs and practices, were not divulged while the potentate was alive lest it might bring about harm to her European counterparts who were still living in Kabul.
A closer look at the Tillya-tepe folding crown and attached pendants
Authors: Peterson Sara
Published: March 2020

Tillya-tepe, the 1stcentury AD burial site, was situated in ancient Bactria, modern Afghanistan. Among the numerous gold artefacts found in the six excavated graves was a spectacular gold crown worn by a high status woman. This article analyses the design and iconography of this crown against the backdrop of a number of factors, including the steppe nomadic heritage of the Tillya-tepe people, and the presence of Graeco-Roman style imagery which appears on some of their most important possessions.
Representation of Wēś in early Kushan coinage: Royal or local cult?
Authors: Taasob Razieh
Published: March 2020

The religious significance of Wēś is a widely debated topic in the historical and numismatic study of Central Asia, including contributions from several scholars who claimed that the representation of Wēś in early Kushan coinage, particularly in the coins of Vima Kadphises (ca. ce 113–127), was an allusion to the conversion of the king to Shivaism. This paper contests the claim that the certain attributes depicted with Wēś should not be construed as belonging to the Indian god Śiva or the Greek god Heracles. The royal portrait on the obverse of the coinage of Vima Kadphises shows the king taking part in the Iranian practice of sacrificing at a fire altar, which further supports the claim that the depiction on the reverse is of the Iranian god Wēś. This paper also challenges recent studies, which suggest that the representation of Wēś may have served only as a royal cult or merely to announce the personal faith of the king. Therefore, this account seeks to remedy this misconception by pointing to the absence of other types of coins used for normal transactions by ordinary people which could have likewise represented their religious cults. Consequently, this article shows that Wēś was a religiously syncretic phenomenon that displays the religious practice of all levels of Kushan society including both the king and the locals who were mostly Bactrian-Iranian during the early Kushan period rather than Indian.

Long-distance ultraperipheral collisions of two relativistic ions are considered. Clouds of photons surrounding the ions are responsible for their distant electromagnetic interaction. The perturbative approach and the method of equivalent photons are described. It is shown that the total cross section of these collisions rapidly increases with an energy increase and is especially large for heavy ions. Some experimental data and their comparison with theoretical approaches are described. Further proposals are discussed.
Quo Vadis Object of Civil Court of Justice Disputes After Government Administrative Law : Regional House of People’s Representative Decision Concerning Dismissal Recomendation for Regional Chief/Vice Chief
Authors: Sayekti Nur , Isharyanto Isharyanto
Published: March 2020

The presence of Act Number 30 Year 2014 concerning Government Administration has presented significant developments in the context of Civil Court of Justice in Indonesia. One thing that is very highlighted after the enactment of the Law is that the definition of state administrative decisions which are only interpreted as a decision issued by a state administration official in this case is the executive body and is concrete, individual and the final becomes a state administrative decision issued by the executive, legislative and judicial institutions and has the additional nature of factual action. One of the cases that the author examined in this paper is related to the decision of the Gorontalo’s legislative assemblythrough Gorontalo’s legislative assembly decision Number 29 / KEP / DPRD / IX / 2017 which basically contained the impeachment of the Gorontalo District Deputy Regent. In accordance with the existing provisions, the characteristics of the action are in accordance with the criteria set out in the provisions of the Act, but from a substantive point of view is still debated in the theoretical level both with regard to the criteria of officials who issue decisions in this case the Regional People's Representative Assembly (institutions) and the nature of decisions that are not final as stipulated in the provisions of the Act of Local Government.

Is Faith a Path to Knowledge?
Authors: Fales Evan
Published: March 2020

In this paper, I consider whether (religious) faith has any role to play in conferring positive epistemic status to (especially religious) beliefs. I outline several conceptions of faith that have been historically important within Western religious traditions. I then consider what role faith might be supposed to play, so understood, within the framework of internalist and externalist accounts of knowledge. My general conclusion is that, insofar as faith itself is a justified epistemic attitude, it requires justification and acquires that justification only through the regular faculties for contingent truths: sense perception and reason. I also argue, however, that the operations of our cognitive faculties in arriving at epistemic judgments on matters of substance are sufficiently complex, subtle, and often temporally prolonged, to make it exceptionally difficult to reconstruct the cognitive process and to judge whether it meets standards of rationality.
Faith and Epistemology: Religious Truth Claims and Epistemic Warrant
Authors: Gurney Julius
Published: March 2020

This essay argues for the rationality of truth claims arising from religious faith over against the contention that such claims are, at best, viewed as subjective “value” language or, at worst, strictly irrational. An argument will be offered for the epistemic warrant of faith-based claims, not for the objective veracity of the religious claims themselves.

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Pregnancy-Related Acute Kidney Injury
Authors: Beers Kelly , Wen Huei Hsun , Saha Aparna , Chauhan Kinsuk , Dave Mihir , Coca Steven , Nadkarni Girish , Chan Lili
Published: March 2020

Background

Pregnancy-related AKI (PR-AKI) is increasing in the United States. PR-AKI is associated with adverse maternal outcomes. Disparities in racial/ethnic differences in PR-AKI by race have not been studied.

Methods

This was a retrospective cohort study using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2005 to 2015. We identified patients who were admitted for a pregnancy-related diagnosis using the Neomat variable provided by the NIS database that indicates the presence of a maternal or neonatal diagnosis code or procedure code. PR-AKI was identified using ICD codes. Survey logistic regression was used for multivariable analysis adjusting for age, medical comorbidities, socioeconomic factors, and hospital/admission factors.

Results

From 48,316,430 maternal hospitalizations, 34,001 (0.07%) were complicated by PR-AKI. Hospitalizations for PR-AKI increased from 3.5/10,000 hospitalizations in 2005 to 11.8/10,000 hospitalizations in 2015 with the largest increase seen in patients aged ≥35 and black patients. PR-AKI was associated with higher odds of miscarriage (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.64; 95% CI, 1.34 to 2.07) and mortality (aOR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.25 to 1.88). After adjustment for age, medical comorbidities, and socioeconomic factors, blacks were more likely than whites to develop PR-AKI (aOR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.33). On subgroup analyses in hospitalizations of patients with PR-AKI, blacks and Hispanics were more likely to have preeclampsia/eclampsia compared with whites (aOR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.65; and aOR, 1.69; 95% CI, 1.23 to 2.31, respectively). Increased odds of mortality in PR-AKI compared with whites were only seen in black patients (aOR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.02 to 2.55).

Conclusions

The incidence of PR-AKI has increased and the largest increase was seen in older patients and black patients. PR-AKI is associated with miscarriages, adverse discharge from hospital, and mortality. Black and Hispanic patients with PR-AKI were more likely to have adverse outcomes than white patients. Further research is needed to identify factors contributing to these discrepancies.
O braćenje na katoličanstvo u Durtalovom romanu J.-K. Huysmansa
Authors: Vrančić Frano
Published: March 2020

Cilj članka je istražiti temu Huysmansova vjerskog obraćenja u onome što književni kritičari obično nazivaju Durtalovim romanom. Autor rada ponajprije promatra originalnost tog pomalo zaboravljenog književnika s kraja XIX. i početka XX. stoljeća, kao i utjecaj ideje dekadencije na njegovo pisanje. Zatim će pokušati pokazati, naslanjajući se na djela stručnjaka za Huysmansovo djelo, zašto se piščev književni i duhovni smjer mijenja te kako se povratak katoličkoj vjeri očituje u „Durtalovu ciklusu“ (Le cycle de Durtal), tetralogiji koja na scenu dovodi isti glavni lik, Durtala, kroz kojeg autor romana „Tamo“ (Là-Bas) pripovijeda o etapama vlastitog puta u Damask.

The purpose of the study was to improve quality of surgical treatable of destructive pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with diabetes.

Materials and methods. D.B. Giller and employees of the Department of Phthisiopulmonology and Thoracic Surgery of the First Moscow State Medical University M.I. Sechenov performed operations on 200 patients with diabetes due to tuberculosis. Group 1 was mustered from 78 patients from 2004 to 2009. Group 2 was mustered from 122 patients from 2011 to 2017.

Results. An analysis of the results showed that after 31 operations, 27 (13.5%) patients from both groups developed 33 complications. The second group (6,6 %) had fewer complications after surgery than the first group (24,4%) 3.7 times. The first group had more vulnerary and bronchopleural complications than the second group. 12 patients (15,4%) of the first group and 6 patients (4,9%) of the second group had bronchopleural complications (empyema, residual cavity, delayed expansion of the lung and intrapleural bleeding). 2 patients died in the hospital (30-day mortality was 0.66%) after 303 surgical intervention in both groups. 1 patient (0.9%) died after 106 surgical intervention in the first group. 1 patient (0.5%) died after 197 surgical intervention in the second group. The full effect was achieved in 75 (96.2%) patients in the first group and 114 (93.4%) in the second group. The survival value of patients of the second group was 100% after 1 year, 98% after 2 years, 98.8% after 3 years, 96.9% after 4 years, 95.2% after 5 years. The surgical treatable affected the occupational rehabilitation of patients from group 2. 61.5% of patients from group 2 became able to work after 1 year. 64.5% of patients from group 2 became able to work after 5 years.

Conclusion. If doctors will use our tactics in patients with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis and diabetes, the risk of complications after surgery dropped and reactivation of tuberculosis will not occur.
Possible treatment approaches for distal coronary artery perforation

Coronary artery perforation is a rare (0.1–3.0%) but rather severe complication that occurs during the coronary interventions. Treating the perforation caused by the coronary conductor is extremely complicated, as it could be caused quite unexpectedly and may be accompanied by catastrophic consequences if misdirected. Choosing effective treatment techniques is not easy, as evidenced by hospital and remote clinical outcomes with high mortality rates.

This article presents the method and first results of using the 1881 England and Wales Census Enumerators' Books (CEBs) to identify and extract employer records using occupational information. Over 230,000 employers are identified, of which about four fifths employ others. Important sub-groups are also identified of the own account selfemployed, company proprietors, directors and partnerships. The article demonstrates the feasibility of the method and uses the example of the building industry to illustrate firm-size distribution at parish level across England and Wales. The paper indicates the applicability of the extraction method to other censuses, which is now possible using the recently released I-CeM database. The paper also demonstrates some difficulties in the database for 1881, including data keying and coding errors, ranging from 0.5 to 5.5 per cent of entries for larger businesses. Gender miscoding appears to be a systematic error of about 0.7 per 1,000 people. The analysis suggests that where small or atypical sample groups are involved, users of the census database should make detailed checks with manuscript CEBs.
Marriages at Woodstock Following the 1653 Marriage Act
Authors: Parker Brian
Published: March 2020

An extraordinary and substantial surge in the annual number of marriages is recorded in the Woodstock Parish Register during the period of the Protectorate. Records of marriages in the same period for rural parishes surrounding Woodstock do not show the same effect. The phenomenon appears to be related to the 1653 Marriage Act, but other factors are considered.
Urban Family Reconstitution - a Worked Example
Authors: Davenport Romola
Published: March 2020

Family reconstitutions have been undertaken only rarely in urban settings due to the high mobility of historical urban populations, in both life and death. Recently Gill Newton has outlined a methodology for the reconstitution of urban populations and we applied a modified version of this method to the large Westminster parish of St. Martin in the Fields between 1752 and 1812, a period that posed particular difficulties for family reconstitution because of the rapid lengthening of the interval between birth and baptism. The extraordinary richness of the records for St. Martin in the Fields made it possible to investigate burial and baptismal practices in great detail, and the extent and impact of residential mobility. We found that short-range, inter-parochial movement was so frequent that it was necessary to confine the reconstitution sample to windows in which families registered events at a single street address. Using birth interval analysis and the frequencies of twin births it was possible to demonstrate that the registration of birth events was fairly complete, but that many infant and child burials were missed. These missing burials probably resulted from the unreported export of corpses for burial in other parishes, a phenomenon for which we had considerable evidence. The limitations of family reconstitution in this highly mobile and heterogeneous urban population is discussed and we demonstrate some checks and corrections that can be used to improve the quality of such reconstitutions.

The struggle in osteosynthesis continues with the search for more biocompatible materials to replace metallic scaffolds. Poly(L-lactic) acid (PLLA), a biopolymer, was processed via melt-blending technique by blending chitosan and Ti-6Al-2Sn-2Mo-2Cr-0.25Si powders with it in varying compositions at 290 oC. The microhardness values, compressive moduli and fracture toughness of the reinforced PLLA improved significantly while the resulting composites were found to be less tough than the unreinforced PLLA. Compressive moduli obtained were much lower than the modulus of cortical bone. They were, however, mechanically compatible with the properties of cancellous bone.

IP network mobility has already emerged as a key domain of wireless IP networking. The network research community has taken great interest and paid considerable attention to advance IP mobility applications. Accordingly, different advanced networking mechanisms have been considered to optimize IP network mobility. One of these mechanisms is network multi-homing which has been the focus of many IP mobility studies within the academic research and IETF communities. The combination of network mobility and multi-homing has turned into a conceivable approach to effectively deal with expanding system availability and improving the performance of mobile IP network. There are many studies proposed during the recent years to realize network multi-homing for the Network Mobility Basic Support (NEMO BS) protocol, a leading IETF IP mobility protocol. This paper studies and reviews up-to-date research works in supporting multi-homing for NEMO-based mobile IP networks. The aim is to investigate the current state of multi-homing support for NEMO networks and outline recent research directions in this regard.

Stress is a ubiquitous thing faced by many individuals in the society in these newfangled days. As the days slip by we see people feel overwhelmed because of the impact of the habits followed by them in this hustle and bustle lifestyle. The main reason is poor stress– relief mechanisms. The recent drugs and chemical solutions which are being prescribed to overcome the impact of stress on the human body are in vain in most of the occasions and further leads to innumerable side effects.The term acupressure is used to report a kind of medication which is being provided to cure various afflictions by applying a manual pressure to stimulate the acupressure points in the body along which the flow of energy occurs. Each time consumers need to get an appointment and wait for it wasting their precious time and in conjunction with it, the methodologies used for the treatment now-a-days are not automated i.e., they are done manually with the help of ancient designs and the patients always need the help of an authorised healer who can do acupressure.The proposed work presents the design of an embedded based acupressure tool which can be used instead of existing acupressure tools for the treatment. The design represents a new contribution to the field of reflexology. In this scheme the acupressure points on the hand are considered. It allows the user to undergo the acupressure treatment in their residence under their own steam. The working of the proposed scheme for different stimulating numerous acupressure points in the hand have been satisfactorily demonstrated and the corresponding results are provided.

Cloud computing being the extensive technology used across globe for data sharing. The data may vary from small file to a highly confidential file consisting of various sensitive information stored in it. Since the cloud services are provided by the third party vendors, users are very much concerned about the security and privacy of the data and data access details. The users wants their traceability to be hidden by the cloud vendors. The biggest challenge is to share the data in a most secured way by encrypting and also preserving the anonymity of the users in cloud from the vendors. This paper addresses the issue by proposing a multi attribute authority in key generations of users, where the few sub sets of attributes will be used by multiple attribute authorities randomly and hence masking of the selection of attributes from various authorities and providing a mechanism for efficient data distribution in cloud by preserving the anonymity of the users.

Humans use language in order to communicate between one another. There exist a number of languages which are either spoken or written. Among these languages, there exists a special type of language called Sign Language (SL). Sign language is a general term which includes any kind of gestural language that makes use of signs and gestures to convey message. Although the deaf community feels comfortable while using Sign Language as their mode of communication, but they face a lot of problems as well. Therefore, in order to help and assist the deaf community a repository of different sign languages are essential for each sign language. This work presents a process to develop a repository by collecting and validating sign language gestures of any language by involving the deaf community and language experts. A small data collection based on a proof-of-concept application has also been presented in this work. Lastly, it highlights the benefits of such corpus by discussing possible applications that can be built to serve the deaf community of the world at large.

Sentiment analysis is the process of finding out whether one's opinion is positive, negative, or neutral. Now-a-days the people are telling their opinion about the fields like marketing product, political and social phenomena are mostly through the online. Their opinions are positive, negative or neutral. The machine to identify the opinion is very difficult. There are so many issues in this field. The one of the issue is sarcasm detection. Sometimes the people give their opinion sarcastically. Sarcastic means, an opinion of an object is to say positive instead of negative. The machine will take this opinion as positive. So the final polarity of the product will be wrong due to this kind of identification. The purpose of this paper is to find these types of sentences and correct the polarity value.

A set of emotion detection after post-surgical issues, classification of various voice sequence, classification of random voice data, surveillance and speaker detection audio data act as a crucial input. Most of the audio data is inherent with the environmental noise or instrumental noise. Extracting the unique features from the audio data is very important to determine the speaker effectively. Such kind of a novel idea is evaluated here. The research focus is based on classification of TV broadcast audios in which the type of audio is being class separated through a novel approach. The design evaluates, the five different categories of audio data such as advertisement, news, songs, cartoon and sports from the data collected using the TV tuner card. The proposed design associated with python as a Development environment. The audio samples are converted to images using Spectrogram and then transfer learning is applied on the pretrained models ResNet50 and Inceptionv3 to extract the deep features and to classify the audio data. Inception V3 is compared here with the ResNet50 to get greater accuracy in classification. The pre-trained models are models that was trained on the ImageNet data set for a certain task and are used here to quick train the audio classification model on training set with high accuracy. The proposed model produces accuracy of 94% for Inceptionv3 which gives greater accuracy when compared with the ResNet50 which gives 93%. accuracy.
