Published: May 2024

The field of healthcare is producing a lot of information in the form of data and knowledge. Medical knowledge is increasing day by day. The data needs to be accessed for providing health services and for administrative, economic, and legal purposes. Most of the health sectors use a paper-based system, which due to its certain limitations can affect the quality of care. Modern medical systems observed the need for the use of medical databases. Medical Database System (MDS) is an advancing concept and is defined as a systematic collection of online-based health records in any health facility that helps to overcome the limitations of conventional paper-based systems. The problem remains in the existing methods of medical record keeping and retrieval, which are less efficient as well as accurate. Recent systems have problems in their systems, such as inaccuracies in data, inefficiencies in their workflows, and other potential security weaknesses. Thus, there is a need for a database system specifically designed for medical record keeping that can overcome these problems and can offer a reliable, secure, and efficient solution for storing and retrieving medical records. In this research, an online-based health record system is designed that can keep, manage, and retrieve medical health records. The system’s frontend, as well as backend, are designed on Microsoft Access 365. Microsoft Access 365 offers suitability in keeping medical records, cost-effectiveness, integration capabilities, user-friendly interface, and scalability which also support the objectives and requirements of our project. The system includes patient registration for reception, a questioner and data retrieval for cancer diagnosis, and a complete pharmacy system including multiple forms and ledgers as well as the reports to get the summary of data where desired. Furthermore, the system contains a login system to make it secure. Our proposed database system shows a very significant improvement over existing systems in terms of efficiency, scalability, security, retrieval capabilities, and societal impact in medical record keeping and retrieval with significant societal impacts. This system can further be improved in the future, expanding its design by including other hospital services, like laboratories, finance departments, and consultation appointments. Nowadays artificial intelligence is performing an excellent role in each domain. Implementing artificial intelligence in this database system can lead this database system to the next level.

Published: May 2024

The crankshaft is one of the essential components of an internal combustion engine that converts the piston's linear motion into the crank's rotary motion. This research has been carried out to study the failure analysis of diesel engine crankshafts, and forged steel material is selected. A crankshaft's geometry is relatively complex compared to other parts; its working conditions are critical, and the stress concentration areas are very complicated. While considering all these phenomena, it is significant that a crankshaft's fatigue strength, stiffness, durability, and wear resistance should be checked and analyzed properly. Firstly, a 3D model of the crankshaft is designed using SolidWorks 2022 software. After that, the Model is imported to ANSYS software 2022 R2 student version. However, using ANSYS (finite element method) is carried out on the crankshaft’s Model. This research aims to obtain the variation in stress magnitude at critical locations of the crankshaft by applying variable loads and boundary conditions. Simulation techniques were conducted for both static and dynamic analysis. The total deformation observed at the critical area of the crank pin is 1.3488e-8. The corresponding equivalent stress is 318.37, and the crankshaft's safety factor is 15.
Deviation of Frequency and Inertia with penetration of Renewable

Inertia response is a function of bulky synchronous generators with large rotating rotor masses that cover the instantaneous difference between supply and grid demand, typically in power grids. The rotor rotation frequency helps speed up or slow down the rotor rotation due to the lack of adequate gap between the power supply and the electrical power demand. When demand increases or a fault occurs, or load fluctuations exceed the balance of supply and demand, grid inertia is always induced at this stage. This helps the automatic grid operator rebalance the system to avoid speed drifts, resulting in a relatively small change in AC frequency over the system's frequency range. But the system consists of a system with low or zero inertia, like the wind, it lacks the effect of inertia and could not gain equilibrium. So, to balance and to reach the target frequency; the frequency deviation of the system due to the lack of inertia of the wind turbine is improved by the droop control technique in this research because the wind system reduced the total inertia of the system. Droop rate control mode for AC generator techniques was used to control the frequency fluctuations due to the lack of inertia of the renewable energy system. A synchronous generator connected to the mains was used as the governor control mode. It works by controlling power generation using the mains frequency of the prime mover. This mode allows synchronous generators to run in parallel and share the loads with the same drooping technique in proportion to their rated output. Injected grid inertia increased generator inertia on large power grids.

Published: May 2024

Anesthesia management is crucial during surgeries and in the intensive care unit to keep the patient unconscious and pain-free. The inaccurate dose may lead the patient to a critical condition and subsequently to a lifelong unconsciousness. Unlike manual system for anesthesia delivery, the automatic mechanism of drug administration may reduce the occurrence of human error greatly. Additionally, the use of vital sign monitoring during drug delivery may serve a crucial role in patient care during certain medical procedures. The anesthetist delivers the drug in milliliters over a specific time period precisely and this may lead to human error. Therefore, this work focuses on the design and development of an automatic anesthesia regularization system using microcontroller allowing vital sign monitoring to control the infusion speed of the medicine based on the patient's state. Different sensors are used to monitor heart rate, oxygen saturation, and temperature of the patient continuously and an alarm system is incorporated to go off in case of emergency. The drug dose must be known beforehand and is used as the predefined amount to configure and control data. The prototype has 4 pre-defined logics for easy operation and dose selection. When the logics are applied the device behaves accordingly, the system is driven by the stored logics and delivers the dose timely and precisely. In case of abnormal vitals, the device stops further delivery of the drug until the condition of the patient becomes stable again. The prototype successfully meets the demand of the algorithm by satisfying the conditions whilst the automation is useful in providing ease to anesthetists and comfort to patients during medical procedures. The result of this prototype extracted by comparing this model with commercially available MMED portable patient monitor and it has been observed that the system accuracy is around 95-98% as it’s a prototype that’s why initial findings are reported in this paper.
Masking Identity: The French Headscarf Controversy vis-a-vis Children's Rehabilitation Homes in Bangalore
Authors: Rose Simi
Published: May 2024

The growing frequency of terrorist attacks and sporadic acts of violence based on cultural and religious differences points towards the need to rethink policies adopted by multicultural societies towards integrating diverse communities into the national fabric. Indeed, creating a sense of belonging amongst individuals from different cultures has always been a challenge for multicultural societies. In order to achieve this end, many European countries have sought to erase markers of cultural identity from the public domain. For instance, in a recent move, France has banned the use of all religious symbols in its schools. Field research in two children’s rehabilitation homes in Bangalore suggests that efforts to create homogeneity exist at the microcosmic level, parallel to forces seeking to mask identity at the level of the nation State. Does the policy of ‘masking’ differences in identity in order to create a single, homogenous identity, which is at work in different ways in both India and France, meet the challenge of forging a sense of belonging in multicultural societies? Is it an effective means of ensuring the peaceful coexistence of distinct cultural groups within a nation State? Theories of cultural pluralism and assimilationist liberalism answer these questions in divergent ways. This paper seeks to analyze the process of ‘masking identity’ and to evaluate its impact within this theoretical framework.
"Prisoner Never Gave Me Anything For What He Had Done:" Aboriginal Voices in the Criminal Court
Authors: Gavigan Shelley A.M.
Published: May 2024

Aboriginal people participated in different ways in the criminal process in the early years of the North-West Territories region of Canada: including, as accused persons, as Informants, and as witnesses. Their physical participation was often mediated by the police, Indian agents and sometimes their Chiefs. Their words were also mediated by interpreters, both linguistic and cultural, and their signatures invariably marked as “X” on their depositions. Scholarship that has examined the relationship of Aboriginal peoples to the criminal law has tended to interrogate the criminalization and moral regulation strategies implicit in the process of colonization and domination of the First Peoples. This paper will discuss less visible aspects of the legalized processes of colonization: (1) the participation of Plains Cree, Saulteaux and Métis peoples, among others, whose traditional values and norms nonetheless seep through the handwritten, translated transcription and alien norms of the Canadian criminal court; and, (2) cases in which Aboriginal complainants who, notwithstanding their substantive inequality, invoked the criminal process to insist that those who wronged them also be punished in accordance with the principles of Canadian law.

Marginalisation and Reservation in India: An Analysis in the Light of Rawlsian Theories of Justice and Equality
Authors: Pandit Sameer
Published: May 2024

In this article the author applies the Rawlsian principles of justice, which lay down a theory of fair equality of opportunity, to examine the Indian reservation policy. Both, in principle, seek to mitigate the arbitrariness of birth and provide individuals with an 'equal start' in life. Although reservations seem justified from a theoretical angle, the historical politicisation of caste has led to the distortion of the policy from being one that seeks to promote equality to a policy that preserves social inequalities and hierarchies. This has been one of the major causes that have prevented the envisioned objectives of the reservation policy from being realised. The problem may, however, be overcome by replacing the purely caste based criterion with one that takes into account economic backwardness as well and by expanding the scope of affirmative action beyond reservation.

Published: May 2024

Introdução: Na prática clínica da enfermagem, a fitoterapia é utilizada como uma abordagem complementar ao tratamento convencional de várias doenças, entre elas as metabólicas, entretanto, ainda existem lacunas quanto a seu impacto e seu uso pela enfermagem no âmbito do SUS. Objetivo: Avaliar com base na literatura, o impacto da utilização dos fitoterápicos para o tratamento das doenças metabólicas e seu uso na prática clínica da enfermagem no âmbito do SUS. Metodologia: O presente artigo é uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa realizada entre fevereiro e abril de 2024, utilizando busca eletrônica no Google Acadêmico, PubMed e BVS. Durante a pesquisa, foi usado o emprego do operador booleano AND. Resultando na seguinte estratégia de busca: “phytotherapy” AND “Metabolic Diseases"; “phytotherapy” AND “Metabolic Syndrome” e "Nursing" AND "phytotherapy ". Após rigor metodológico por meio dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram selecionados 19 artigos para compor a produção dessa revisão. Resultados: 19 plantas medicinais foram citadas com ações fitoterápicas, destas 73,86% atuam na Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2; 31,57% na Hiperlipidemia; 52,63 na Obesidade e 27,31 % na Hipertensão. Dessa forma, observa-se que os maiores efeitos dos fitoterápicos foi no controle da Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2. Entretanto, vale ressaltar que algumas das plantas encontradas são utilizadas no tratamento de mais de um dos distúrbios metabólicos supracitados. Conclusão: Diante dos estudos, conclui-se que os fitoterápicos têm benefício significativo na melhoria de várias doenças metabólicas, entretanto, o seu emprego na prática clínica da enfermagem, é dificultada pelo déficit de conhecimentos desses profissionais no que diz respeito aos mecanismos de ação, indicações terapêuticas, interações medicamentosas e os efeitos adversos dessa alternativa de tratamento, havendo necessidade de capacitações para otimizar o seu uso no âmbito do SUS.

Published: May 2024

O acesso ao atendimento odontológico para as pessoas com deficiência (PCD) é um direito garantido no sistema de saúde público. No entanto, apesar das políticas públicas existentes, os desafios para esse acesso ainda são numerosos. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar a acessibilidade aos serviços de saúde bucal das PCD em uma policlínica odontológica de uma universidade pública. Este estudo foi realizado entre setembro a novembro de 2023. Foi analisado o tipo de deficiência, sexo, faixa etária, procedimento odontológico realizado, condição bucal inicial e tempo em lista de espera. A média de idade entre os pacientes foi de 43 anos; condição de saúde bucal foi classificada como “ruim” em 45% dos casos, com os procedimentos de adequação do meio bucal e exodontias sendo os mais realizados; os pacientes com doenças sistêmicas e crônicas foram atendidos em maior número (32%). Assim, as PCD que procuraram por atendimento tiveram suas necessidades de saúde bucal atendidas. Entretanto, a alta prevalência de pacientes com a condição de saúde bucal ruim, concomitante ao alto número de extrações dentárias identificadas, reitera a necessidade urgente de garantir acessibilidade aos serviços odontológicos de forma efetiva para estas pessoas.

Este trabalho consiste em substituir o agregado miúdo por resíduo de madeira, juntamente com adição de papel em traço de argamassa e analisar suas características físicas e propriedades mecânicas. Nas misturas foram utilizados o traço 1:5 (cimento: areia) e adotado um percentual de substituição de 5 e 10% em volume para o resíduo de madeira e para a adição de papel foi fixada a porcentagem de 75% em relação a massa do resíduo de madeira substituído. O resíduo de madeira utilizado passou por um tratamento químico com NaOH a fim de estabilizar e neutralizar algumas características da madeira. Foram verificadas a influência da inserção dos resíduos nas argamassas através dos ensaios de determinação da retenção de água, densidade de massa, absorção de água por capilaridade, massa específica, resistência à tração na flexão, compressão axial, módulo de elasticidade e resistência à aderência à tração. Houve uma diminuição na retenção de água conforme a substituição do agregado pelo resíduo de madeira e um aumento com a adição de papel, verificou-se também diminuição na densidade de massa. Nos ensaios mecânicos não houve diferença significativa entre as amostras, apenas o traço com 5% de substituição de madeira apresentou resultado superior aos demais na resistência a compressão. A mistura com melhor resistência à aderência no bloco cerâmico foi o traço com 10% de substituição de madeira.

Formação continuada de profissionais da Educação em Ciências da Natureza para os anos iniciais sob a perspectiva da semiótica peirceana
Authors: Bassani Maria Angela Lorente
Published: May 2024

Esta pesquisa objetivou analisar o processo colaborativo de formação continuada de profissionais da educação dos anos iniciais envolvidos com o ensino de Ciências da Natureza, tendo a contação de história como recurso para a prática pedagógica, à luz da semiótica de Charles Peirce. Para tanto desenvolveu-se um curso para professores e pedagogos, de maneira remota via plataforma Google Meet, realizado nos meses de março e abril de 2021. Houve a participação de 16 profissionais que atuam nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental de escolas públicas municipais de Curitiba, outras cidades da Região Metropolitana de Curitiba e do Litoral do Paraná. A partir das transcrições das vídeogravações dos encontros do curso e a produção das atividades realizadas pelos participantes, foi constituído o corpus de análise. Os dados foram analisados a partir da semiótica peirceana. Para isso, utilizou-se as três categorias gerais propostas por Peirce: primeiridade, secundidade e terceiridade, alinhando-as ao processo de percepção, significação e ressignificação. Os resultados permitem dizer que a semiótica foi percebida como um caminho facilitador das práticas pedagógicas, sejam elas de avaliação do aluno, do processo de aprendizagem ou da própria prática profissional.

Neoliberalismo e precarização social: desafios e possibilidades para o serviço social
Authors: Queiróz Camilla Fernandes
Published: May 2024

O presente estudo aborda as tendências neoliberais e seu impacto no desmantelamento das políticas sociais, aumentando a discriminação e dificultando o pleno gozo dos direitos dos cidadãos brasileiros. O texto destaca como o modelo neoliberal resulta na redução de recursos para a assistência social, privatização de bens nacionais e reformas na previdência, o que desafia a garantia de direitos sociais. Com menos recursos disponíveis para programas de inclusão e proteção social, grupos marginalizados enfrentam barreiras ainda maiores para acessar serviços essenciais e exercer seus direitos fundamentais. Diante desse cenário desafiador, devido ao modo de produção capitalista que exclui e segrega, além de explorar o proletariado para obtenção de lucros, o papel do serviço social emerge como fundamental na compreensão e enfrentamento da questão social. Os assistentes sociais assumem um compromisso com a classe trabalhadora na luta pelos seus direitos buscando superar as barreiras existentes no modo de produção vigente e promover a inclusão e a justiça social. Por este motivo, desempenham um papel importante na identificação das necessidades da população, na defesa e garantia dos direitos dos mais vulneráveis e na promoção de políticas mais justas e inclusivas.
Aspectos jurídicos da autodeterminação dos filhos em relação aos pais no exercício do direito à saúde: o sigilo médico no atendimento médico de crianças e adolescentes
Authors: Marques Priscila Cristina Frade
Published: May 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo o estudo quanto aos aspectos legais do atendimento médico de crianças e adolescentes, concernentes à possibilidade de autodeterminação no exercício do direito fundamental à saúde, considerando a capacidade de discernimento delimitada em lei, e as questões éticas quanto a possibilidade de sigilo médico em relação aos pais. Nesse sentido, imperiosa a análise e interpretação sistemática da legislação brasileira sobre o tema, vez que crianças e adolescentes são sujeitos de direitos, ao passo que a capacidade para exercê-los é precedida de representação e assistência dos pais ou responsáveis, os quais excepcionalmente podem ser desvinculados das decisões e assuntos pertinentes aos filhos. A extensão do exercício do poder familiar pelos pais resta delimitada nos textos legais, inclusive para se inferir que os limites são a proteção integral e o melhor interesse dos filhos, em sincronia com a gradativa capacidade de discernimento e autodeterminação para exercício de direitos por crianças e adolescentes, o que inclui a possibilidade da participação dos pais em todos os assuntos afetos aos filhos. No atendimento de crianças a relação estabelecida se dá entre médico e responsável legal, em razão tenra idade e a fragilidade na capacidade de discernir prescrições de tratamento, diferente  da relação médico-paciente formada no atendimento de adolescentes, Depreende-se que a capacidade de discernimento não está ao arbítrio exclusivo do profissional da saúde, mas com supedâneo nos limites legais e critérios cronológicos estabelecidos em lei, em que pesem as notas técnicas e orientações dos órgãos oficiais que regulamentam as linhas de cuidados do atendimento de adolescente.

BIRTH PLANNING WHEN A BABY HAS DIED
Authors: Bowles Angie
Published: May 2024

As a private midwife, alongside ‘normal’ full continuity care, I provide specialist care for those facing loss and in pregnancy after loss. Parents often report that the days following identification of their baby’s death passed in a blur. Later they think about things they might have chosen to do if they had the opportunity. This is an experience common with sudden bereavements.1 The following are a few issues to consider. Because the death of a baby before birth is such an unfamiliar event in our society, most parents will not know what to ask. They are likely to appreciate guidance about the choices and options are available to them. These are outlined in the National Bereavement Care Pathway2 for those living in the UK.
Supporting Learners with Challenging Behaviour while Advocating for Inclusive Education: Voices from a Resource Centre in Malta
Authors: Aquilina Malcolm , Schembri Heathcliff
Published: May 2024

Learners exhibiting challenging behaviour in resource centres have become a significant source of concern for educators who work in these centres. This research examines the educators’ skills to establish a positive relationship with learners who exhibit such behaviour in resource centres. Furthermore, the study explores the adequacy of the training that educators receive prior to and during their employment. This small-scale qualitative research study examines whether educators have sufficient support and resources to deal with challenging behaviour in a specific resource centre. The semi-structured interviews were conducted following a purposive sampling procedure with seven participants, including subject teachers, learning support educators, and a senior leadership team member. The findings reveal that a strong and supportive connection between the educator and learners is necessary to create a mutually respectful relationship and successfully manage challenging behaviour. Furthermore, stakeholders must communicate with one another to prevent and appease such behaviour. It was also established that a stigma towards resource centres in Malta is still present, and the Ministry for Education should provide further support and training for educators working in these centres. The findings also indicate that the availability of resources in these centres should be improved. This research aims to enhance awareness about the challenges and realities of educators working in local resource centres in Malta.
Underground infrastructure failures and their impact on road traffic restrictions and consequences for society – best practices based on the example of the city of Płock
Authors: Gryszpanowicz Piotr , Gasik-Kowalska Natalia
Published: May 2024

Infrastructure failures occurring in road lanes often lead to partial or complete road closures. Works conducted on the roadway often hinder, and sometimes completely prevent, vehicle traffic. In the case of complete road closures, detours must be designated. The occurrence of failures leads to unplanned restrictions, as the specific time of the incident cannot be determined, and traffic participants are unaware of the disruptions. All of this can ultimately lead to a paralysis of the transportation system. Failures in underground infrastructure can have significant consequences for road traffic, leading to disruptions and imposing various challenges on society. This study focuses on exploring the impact of underground infrastructure failures on road traffic limitations and their repercussions for the community. The city of Płock serves as a case study, providing insights into effective practices implemented to address such challenges

The refining process is a part of the paper-making process that requires a large amount of energy. The strategy used is to change the type of refiner machine from Conical to Double Disc Refiner (DDR) because DDR spends less energy. At a consistent range of 4% Specific Edge Load (SEL) DDR is 1.4–4 J/m while conical SEL is 0.9–6.0 J/m. This research will test the energy used in making HVS paper 80-gram by referring to what has been mentioned. The consistency used is in the range of 4.4–4.6%. As supporting parameters, the physical properties of HVS 80-gram paper were used, namely bulk, tearing, tensile, and bursting. Energy and physical properties were measured for 28 days with 6 samplings per day. The comparison was carried out on days 10 to 26 because there was incomplete data on DDR on days 7–9 and day 27. The results of this study showed that the type replacement from conical to DDR was at 1.52%. The physical property of the paper that experienced a significant change was the paper porosity, which was 28.58%.

The Independent Female Image in My Sister and Its Construction Through Visual Rhetoric
Authors: Cui Guoshun
Published: May 2024

As a multidisciplinary art form, films, particularly those centered on women, from a sociological standpoint, must boldly address the societal issues of gender discrimination. They should amplify the voices of women and advocate for their independence and enlightenment. My Sister, directed by Yin Ruoxin, presents a well-defined portrayal of an autonomous woman. The film endeavors to foster social evolution and transformation by depicting women in realistic, profound, and motivational roles. Through the narrative, visual rhetoric is adeptly utilized to convey enhanced emotional depth and awareness of female identity. It is important to recognize, however, that the aspirations voiced in such films represent more a tactical maneuver than an actual empowerment construct.
A Study on the Structure of Feeling in Charlotte Bronte’s The Professor
Authors: Hou Jing
Published: May 2024

Raymond Williams (1921-1988), one of the most influential Marxist cultural critics in the 20th century, proposed the concept of “structures of feeling” to reproduce the social psychology and emotional experience of people from an era. The structures of feeling are most conspicuous during social transformation and implicit in literary works of the same period. This paper intends to examine Charlotte Bronte’s novel The Professor with Raymond Williams’ “structures of feeling” theory to find out the conflict and contradiction between the real feelings of the characters in the novel and the dominant cultural characteristics, as well as the author’s solution strategy — the magic formula, and to uncover the participation of literary works in British empire construction.
Research on the Criminal Law Regulation of Crimes Caused by Out-of-Control Intelligent Robot Programs
Authors: Yang Jingsen
Published: May 2024

This article explores the legal regulation of the crime caused by out-of-control intelligent robot programs. The author has proposed criminal regulation in various aspects such as program design, testing and certification, users and regulators. In the program design stage, suggestions were put forward to accurately determine the relationship between harmful behavior, criminal behavior, and implementation behavior. In the program testing and certification stage, it is advocated to use the conditional theory and objective attribution theory to determine responsibility, in order to distinguish the behavior bearers in the crime of losing control of intelligent robot programs. For users and regulators, it is recommended to strengthen the regulation of foresight obligations for the crime of losing control of intelligent robot programs, in order to reduce the risk of illegal activities caused by program failures.
