A Conceptual Framework of Mutual Funds In India
Authors: - Dr. O. Maanvizhi , - Ms. Nayana K S
Published: February 2024

A mutual fund is a pool of money managed by a professional Fund Manager. It is a trust that collects money from a number of investors who share a common investment objective and invests the same in equities, bonds, money market instruments and/or other securities. It is more reachable to the investors as the funds do not get invested in one sector but get diversified to many sectors. Investors today have access to a wide variety of investment opportunities thanks to the increasing competitive nature of the market. Mutual funds, out of the many other investment options available, are the one that are best suited for the average person since they provide the ability to invest in a portfolio that is both diversified and managed by professionals at a fee that is relatively modest. This paper primarily focuses in understanding the concept of mutual funds, its process, history, structure, types, categories, benefits and limitations.

Designing a Belt to Cool the Human Body, Absorb Heat with Clay, and Treat Chronic Diseases
Authors: - Adi Al A’assam
Published: February 2024

The thermal system of the human body changed after the era of the discovery of fire, but wearing a belt that contains within it materials that are relatively similar to the elements of the body would absorb heat and treat a number of diseases. Some inventors tried to place small fans between the layers of the shirt to combat the summer heat, but they are tiring when worn and the relative cold ends immediately. He removed the shirt, and a Japanese company introduced a collar that is placed on the neck equipped with a small system similar to split devices. Its possible complications can come from ammonia and electricity coming into contact, even indirectly, with the human neck. Then the cold ends as soon as it is removed. As for the cooling belt, the relative cold it causes continues for hours, even after removing it. The materials it contains are so abundant that it would not occur to one to think that it is river silt. I submitted it to standardization and control to obtain a patent. Such clay contains chemical elements that apparently match some of the active elements in the human thermal body, so the materials of the belt become symmetrical with their counterparts in the body.

By analyzing case studies, practical examples, and comparative studies, we explore the effectiveness and challenges of ML-driven demand forecasting. The paper discusses various ML techniques, including regression models, time series forecasting methods, neural networks, and ensemble methods, highlighting their strengths and limitations. Evaluation metrics such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) are examined to assess forecasting accuracy. Additionally, challenges such as data quality, model interpretability, computational resources, and overfitting are discussed, along with recommendations for addressing these challenges. The paper concludes with recommendations for practitioners and suggestions for future research directions, emphasizing the importance of data quality improvement, model interpretability enhancement, and ethical considerations in ML-based demand forecasting.
Simulation Model of Dual Boost Inverter using Half Cycle Modulation Technique
Authors: - Shaik Gouse Basha , - Jajam Naresh , - Pothuraju Pandi
Published: February 2024

The output voltage of conventional full bridge inverters is lower than the DC input voltage. In applications where the input DC voltage is very low, front-end step-up converters are typically needed, resulting in a two-stage conversion process. The Dual boost inverter (DBI) offers many benefits, including fewer power devices, a straightforward design, and the ability to operate in both boost and buck modes. The traditional modulation technique used in DBI has a number of disadvantages, including the fact that all the devices work at higher frequencies and must tolerate larger voltage and current stresses, which increases conduction and switching losses and lowers efficiency. This study suggests a novel modulation technique called half cycle modulation (HCM), which makes all devices work at high frequency only every half cycle, significantly reducing conduction and switching losses and boosting DBI efficiency. Additionally, an improved DBI is suggested that can bypass the inductor current with little switching stress in order to reduce the current circulation losses in DBI. In this study, a detailed comparison between the traditional DBI and the HCM modulated DBI is discussed. In the MATLAB/SIMULINK software, the suggested DBI and its modulation techniques are simulated, and the results are also shown.

МІКРОБІОМ ШКІРИ ХВОРИХ НА ХРОНІЧНІ АЛЕРГОДЕРМАТОЗИ ПІД ВПЛИВОМ ЛІКУВАННЯ
Authors: Aleksandruk Oleksandr , Aleksandruk Nataliia , Honcharuk Valentyna
Published: February 2024

Мета роботи. Вивчити вплив типового лікування на стан мікробіому шкіри у дорослих хворих на хронічну істинну екзему (ХІЕ) та атопічний дерматит (АД) із раннім та пізнім дебютом захворювання.

Матеріали та методи. Мікробіом шкіри вивчено у 67 хворих на атопічний дерматит із дебютом хвороби в ранньому дитинстві, 56 хворих з його дебютом в дорослому віці та 62 хворих на хронічну істинну екзему протягом активного лікування та подальшого спостереження.

Результати та обговорення. У 75% хворих на атопічний дерматит раннього початку, 59% хворих із пізнім дебютом АД та 70% хворих на хронічну істинну екзему визначається звичайна за якісним складом, проте підвищена за густиною колонізація шкіри неуражених ділянок. Активна терапія дерматозу і подальша фаза догляду за неї суттєво не впливає. В ділянках, наближених до висипань, посилена колонізація шкіри із високим вмістом стафілококів та нетипової для цих зон грам-негативної паличкової та стрептококової флори визначається в більщості обстежених хворих. Стандартне лікування вирівнює показники густини МШна різних ділянок шкіри у хворих  на хронічну екзему та атопічний дерматитом із пізнім дебютом по завершенні активної терапії, у хворих на атопічний дерматит із раннім дебютом - протягом подальшого терміну спостереження.

Висновки. Стандартне системне лікування хворих з даною патологією істотно не впливає на стан мікробіому шкіри. Динаміка мікрофлори в зонах висипу спричинена як місцевими засобами, так і погіршенням умов для бактеріальної колонізації шкіри.
ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ СТАНУ ПРООКСИДАНТНО-АНТИОКСИДАНТНОГО ГОМЕОСТАЗУ У ХВОРИХ НА АЛЕРГОДЕРМАТОЗИ
Authors: Denysenko Olha
Published: February 2024

Мета роботи. Визначити показники прооксидантної та антиоксидантної систем крові у хворих на алергодерматози та оцінити характер їх змін залежно від нозологічної форми та клінічного перебігу дерматозу.

Матеріал і методи. Обстежено 146 хворих на алергодерматози (екзема, атопічний та алергічний дерматити). Показники прооксидантної системи крові (вміст малонового альдегіду, фракцій продуктів окисної модифікації білків, середньомолекулярних пептидів) та антиоксидантної системи крові (вміст відновленого глутатіону та церулоплазміну, активності глутатіонпероксидази та каталази) визначали за допомогою відомих методик; характер їх взаємо- зв'язку визначали методами варіаційної статистики.

Результати. Встановлено, що у порівнянні з контрольною групою, у хворих на алергодерматози відзначаються достовірні зміни показників як прооксидантної системи крові (збільшення вмісту малонового альдегіду, фракцій окисної модифікації білків та середньомолекулярних пептидів), так і показників антиоксидантної системи крові (зниження вмісту церулоплазміну та відновленого глутатіону). Аналіз значень показників прооксидантно-антиоксидантного гомеостазу у хворих на алергодерматози не виявив їх достовірних змін залежно від гендерних особливостей пацієнтів чи місця їх проживання (в умовах міста чи сільській місцевості). При цьому більш істотні зміни показників прооксидантно-антиоксидантного гомеостазу встановлено у хворих на атопічний дерматит та екзему порівняно з пацієнтами з алергічним дерматитом, а також у хворих із поширеним ураженням шкіри та тривалим (більше 5 років) перебігом захворювання.

Висновок. У хворих на алергодерматози спостерігаються зміни показників прооксидантно-антиоксидантного гомеостазу, що є свідченням зростання активності процесів вільнорадикального окиснення ліпідів і білків на тлі зниження активності чинників антиоксидантного захисту, що призводить до наростання явищ ендогенної інтоксикації та формування оксидативного стресу. При цьому встановлено, що зміни прооксидантно-антиоксидантного гомеостазу у певній мірі залежать від клінічної форми алергодерматозу, його тривалості та поширеності на шкірі, що обґрунтовує диференційований підхід до призначення таким хворим засобів антиоксидантної дії.

Authors: Ioanna Tzioga , Amalia Moriki
Published: February 2024

Microplastic pollution is a major issue for aquatic ecosystems. In this study, an assessment of microplastic pollution in beach sediments of Thessaloniki Gulf is presented. Sand sampling was performed in October 2021, in three different coastal areas along the seashore of Thessaloniki Gulf, in NW Aegean Sea. In total, nine sand samples were collected and examined. The morphology of the detected microplastics was recorded: they were fragments and microfibers. Their abundance ranged from 0-32 items/m3. Higher concentrations of microplastics were observed in Karabournaki Beach, located in the city of Thessaloniki. It is the second largest city in Greece, inhabited by about 1,5 million people. Regarding the color, black, red, blue, green, and transparent microplastic fragments were found. Black and blue particles were the most common. Chemical detection and identification were performed with FT-IR spectroscopy. Four polymers were detected: polyethylene (PE), terephthalate (PET), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Polyethylene terephthalate was the dominant identified polymer (50%). The need for plastic pollution management in coastal areas, as well as the need to communicate the issue of plastic marine pollution and enhance public awareness, are discussed.

Authors: N. Pavithra , C. R. Ramakrishnaiah
Published: February 2024

The present study aims to use the Water Quality Index (WQI) modeling method to know about groundwater hydrochemistry and drinking suitability in and around (5 km) the Peenya industrial area/estate in Bengaluru city. For this research study, 116 bore well samples were collected and examined for the pre (dry) and post (wet) monsoon seasons in 2021, following APHA standard procedures. According to the BIS standard, the TH, Ca, Mg, NO3, and TDS exceed the desirable limits in both seasons. The water quality examination data shows that TDS concentration is found to be higher above the desired limit (500 mg/l) during the pre- (63%) and post- (45%) monsoon seasons. Furthermore, 55% (pre-monsoon) and 15% (post-monsoon) of the groundwater samples exceed the BIS’s nitrate allowable limit (45 mg/l). Among the analyzed samples, the calcium content in 19% and 20% of samples exceeded the desirable limit (75 mg/l), and magnesium content in 87% and 83% exceeded the desirable limit (30 mg/l) in pre- and post-monsoon seasons. In 95% of samples, TH content exceeded the desirable limit (200 mg/l) in both pre- and post-monsoon seasons. Piper diagram plots were utilized to determine sources of dissolved constituents, rock-water interaction, and other factors that influenced the region’s groundwater composition. Based on hydro-chemical facies the Ca-Mg-HCO3 type of water predominates in the study area during pre (dry) and post (wet)-monsoon seasons of the year 2021. The chemistry of groundwater has deteriorated significantly because of several industrial and anthropogenic activities. The WQI spatial distribution map shows that groundwater quality has the greatest impact in the west and a few places in the north and south regions of the research area. This study was conducted in Bangalore’s Peenya industrial area to determine whether groundwater is suitable for drinking, identify the mechanisms governing groundwater’s geochemistry, and evaluate the effects of an industrial area on groundwater quality. The primary focus of this study is the major ion chemistry in this field.

Authors: Triantafillidis John K , Konstadoulakis Manousos M , Papalois Apostolos E
Published: February 2024

In this editorial, we comment on the article entitled “Advances and key focus areas in gastric cancer immunotherapy: A comprehensive scientometric and clinical trial review (1999-2023),” which was published in the recent issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology . We focused on the results of the authors’ bibliometric analysis concerning gastric cancer immunotherapy, which they analyzed in depth by compiling the relevant publications of the last 20 years. Before that, we briefly describe the most recent data concerning the epidemiological parameters of gastric cancer (GC) in different countries, attempting to give an interpretation based on the etiological factors involved in the etiopathogenesis of the neoplasm. We then briefly discuss the conservative treatment (chemotherapy) of the various forms of this malignant neoplasm. We describe the treatment of resectable tumors, locally advanced neoplasms, and unresectable (advanced) cases. Special attention is given to modern therapeutic approaches with emphasis on immunotherapy, which seems to be the future of GC treatment, especially in combination with chemotherapy. There is also a thorough analysis of the results of the study under review in terms of the number of scientific publications, the countries in which the studies were conducted, the authors, and the scientific centers of origin, as well as the clinical studies in progress. Finally, an attempt is made to draw some con-clusions and to point out possible future directions.

Published: February 2024

The population of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients along with relevant advanced liver disease is projected to continue growing, because currently no medications are approved for treatment. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is believed a novel and promising therapeutic approach based on the concept of the gut-liver axis in liver disease. There has been an increase in the number of pre-clinical and clinical studies evaluating FMT in NAFLD treatment, however, existing findings diverge on its effects. Herein, we briefly summarized the mechanism of FMT for NAFLD treatment, reviewed randomized controlled trials for evaluating its efficacy in NAFLD, and proposed the prospect of future trials on FMT.
Quality of life after pancreatic surgery
Authors: Li Shi-Zhen , Zhen Ting-Ting , Wu Yi , Wang Min , Qin Ting-Ting , Zhang Hang , Qin Ren-Yi
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

Pancreatic surgery is challenging owing to the anatomical characteristics of the pancreas. Increasing attention has been paid to changes in quality of life (QOL) after pancreatic surgery.

AIM

To summarize and analyze current research results on QOL after pancreatic surgery.

METHODS

A systematic search of the literature available on PubMed and EMBASE was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Relevant studies were identified by screening the references of retrieved articles. Studies on patients’ QOL after pancreatic surgery published after January 1, 2012, were included. These included prospective and retrospective studies on patients' QOL after several types of pancreatic surgeries. The results of these primary studies were summarized inductively.

RESULTS

A total of 45 articles were included in the study, of which 13 were related to pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), seven to duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR), nine to distal pancreatectomy (DP), two to central pancreatectomy (CP), and 14 to total pancreatectomy (TP). Some studies showed that 3-6 months were needed for QOL recovery after PD, whereas others showed that 6-12 months was more accurate. Although TP and PD had similar influences on QOL, patients needed longer to recover to preoperative or baseline levels after TP. The QOL was better after DPPHR than PD. However, the superiority of the QOL between patients who underwent CP and PD remains controversial. The decrease in exocrine and endocrine functions postoperatively was the main factor affecting the QOL. Minimally invasive surgery could improve patients’ QOL in the early stages after PD and DP; however, the long-term effect remains unclear.

CONCLUSION

The procedure among PD, DP, CP, and TP with a superior postoperative QOL is controversial. The long-term benefits of minimally invasive versus open surgeries remain unclear. Further prospective trials are warranted.
Inhibitory Effect of Alternanthera Sessilis, Cucurbita Maxima and Aerva Lanata on Whewellite Urinary Crystals
Authors: Sabitha M. A. , Mohamed Syed
Published: February 2024

Phosphate stones, such as struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate hexahydrate), brushite (calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate), and oxalates like whewellite (calcium oxalate monohydrate) are different kinds of urinary stones. Such kidney stones can be treated with herbs for natural healing and side effects-free results. These urinary crystals are traditionally created in the lab using the gel growth process and a silica gel medium at a specified pH. The inhibitory effects can be analysed by using the extracts of herbal plants. In the present study, ethanol extracts of leaves of Alternanthera sessilis, seeds of Cucurbita maxima and flowers of Aerva lanata are investigated for their inhibitory activity against the whewellite urinary crystals. They are characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectrum and their crystalline nature is examined through powder X-ray diffraction. Asymmetric and symmetric stretching unit of C=O in oxalate appears at 1620 cm-1 and 1400, 1310 cm-1 respectively. The monoclinic crystal system with a space group of P21/n is confirmed from the powder X-ray diffraction studies. The results indicated that among the three ethanol extracts, leaves of Alternanthera sessilis, seeds of Cucurbita maxima and flowers of Aerva lanata- the flowers of Aerva lanata exhibited inhibition towards whewellite crystals.

Bu kitap, yazarının da içinde bulunduğu yaşanmış tarihsel bir olayın belgesi olup unutulmuş bir savaşın anatomisidir. Bu kitap, ayrıca Kıbrıs Barış Harekâtı’nda kahramanca çarpışıp ‘ŞEHİT’ olarak onurlanmış askerleri bir kere daha yâd etmek ve rahmet dilemek için yazılmıştır. O muhteşem zaferin saygıdeğer kahramanları! Kabirlerinizde rahat uyuyun. Uğrunda şehit olduğumuz topraklar soydaşlarımıza Vatan oldu.

“Great views of lake, mountain and town”. On the naming and territorial branding
Authors:   Barents Centre of the Humanities of the Kola Science Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Bodrova Olga A.
Published: February 2024

The article investigates the specifics of naming of collective and private accommodation facilities located in the towns Apatity and Kirovsk, Murmansk region. The paper gives a working classification of the accommodation facilities and analyzes their names based on some semantic characteristics. The author draws conclusions about the dominance of the natural-geographical component in the structure of the tourist image of the region. However, this does not always conform to official positioning of Murmansk oblast as a region with rich history and culture and to the idea that the latter are just as important for development of the tourism industry in this territory as recreational resources.

Schizophrenia, recognized as a leading cause of global disability, stands as a multifaceted challenge for mental health professionals. Despite advancements in the field, schizophrenia persists as a condition which needs ongoing research and the development of individualized approaches to enhance treatment outcomes. This case report illustrates the transformative effects of cariprazine on a patient with paranoid schizophrenia, highlighting improvements in functionality, quality of life, and treatment adherence. While current antipsychotics address positive symptoms effectively, they fall short in managing negative symptoms, creating a notable treatment gap. Cariprazine, with its unique receptor profile, emerges as a promising solution, demonstrating efficacy in improving both negative and cognitive symptoms. The importance of addressing negative symptoms introduces cariprazine as a valuable intervention and emphasizes the need for ongoing research to optimize schizophrenia treatment strategies.
Coping Strategies and Burnout Among Medical and Social Workers Providing Services to People with Limited Mobility
Authors: Khokhlova Olga I. , Vasilchenko Elena M. , Versh Vadim A. , Denisova Yana A.
Published: February 2024

INTRODUCTION. The centerpiece of the development of occupational burnout is the individual’s ability to cope with stressful situations.
AIM. To determine ways to cope with stress among employees of healthcare organizations and social service institutions providing services to low-mobility population groups, as well as to assess the correlations between individual coping strategies and burnout symptoms.
MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study involved 81 employees of healthcare organizations (group 1) and 88 employees of a social service institution (group 2).
We used COPE (Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory) questionnaire adapted by T.O. Gordeeva et al. to determine ways of coping with stress; Maslach Burnout Questionnaire adapted by N.E. Vodopyanova to determine symptoms of occupational burnout.
RESULTS. Employees of a social service institution more often than the staff of healthcare organizations had high levels of coping strategies: positive reformulation and personal growth (in 80.7 % and 60.5 % respectively, p = 0.002), active coping (in 76.1 % and 58 %, p = 0.012), planning (in 76.1 % and 53.1 %, p = 0.002). At the same time group 1 representatives 2.1 times more often than group 2 representatives had high values of the integral index of occupational burnout: 50.6 % against 23.9 % (χ2 = 12.997, p 0.001).
DISCUSSION. Ineffective coping-strategies, correlating with the levels of occupational burnout symptoms, appeared to be concentration on emotions and their active expression, mental disengagement from the problem, behavioural disengagement from the problem, and denial. Among the effective ones are active coping, planning, positive reformulation and personal growth.
CONCLUSION. Burnout symptoms were more frequent in the surveyed sample of the healthcare workers than in the workers of social service institutions and were associated with insufficiently active use of effective ways of coping with stress.
Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures: Medical, Social Aspects, Clinical Picture, Treatment and Medical Rehabilitation. A Review
Authors: Marchenkova Larisa A.
Published: February 2024

INTRODUCTION. Osteoporosis is one of the most common metabolic skeletal diseases in the world, which is characterized by a decrease in bone tissue strength and an increased risk of fractures with minimal trauma, including pathological vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). VCFs are accompanied by a decrease in the quality of life of patients with osteoporosis due to a pronounced pain syndrome, sleep problems, decreased motor and social activity, a high risk of falls and fractures, the development of pathological spinal deformities, decreased lung capacity and increased number of comorbid diseases. In this regard, timely treatment and medical rehabilitation in patients with osteoporosis and VCFs are of particular importance to restore functionality, reduce the risk of developing new fractures, disability and death.
MAIN CONTENT OF THE REVIEW. The literature review is the analysis of 7 domestic and 49 foreign literary sources, which was used to describe the prevalence, medical and social significance and clinical picture of osteoporotic VCFs. It provides data on modern methods of drug and non-drug treatment of patients with VCFs. The effectiveness and limitations of the use of physical therapy methods in the rehabilitation of patients with pathological spinal fractures are described in detail.
CONCLUSION. It is concluded that VCFs pose a significant healthcare burden due to their high prevalence and negative impact on the quality of life of older patients with osteoporosis. Osteoporotic VCFs lead to the development of severe back pain, limited mobility, spinal deformities, loss of height and permanent disability. An effective strategy for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with osteoporotic VCFs should include the use analgesics, orthotics, correction of nutritional deficiency, elimination of vitamin D and calcium deficiency, modern methods of physical therapy, fall prevention and timely prescription of effective drugs for pathogenetic therapy of osteoporosis to reduce the risk of pathological fractures in the future and ensure a high level of functioning and of the quality of life.
Measuring Spatial Justice Indices in the Traditional Islamic Cities by Using GIS, An-Najaf Holy City, Iraq: A Case Study
Authors: Alrobaee Tuqa
Published: February 2024

Iraq includes several traditional Islamic cities, and they share many spatial and social characteristics. A question has often been raised about these cities' ability to achieve spatial justice for their current residents. Therefore, the research aims to answer this question by following a specific methodology based on the derivation of factors and indices of spatial justice through previous literature, then measuring the indices derived in the ancient Najaf city as an example of traditional Islamic cities. The research found that there are five main factors for spatial justice, which are: spatial diversity, spatial connectivity, spatial resilience, spatial security, and spatial empowerment, which in turn are divided into ten indices. These indices were measured in Najaf City. It became clear that the mixed land use index, spatial connectivity indices, and spatial security indices were well achieved, while the mixed residential patterns and spatial empowerment indices did not. As for spatial resilience, changes occurred in land uses. However, these changes were not the result of social and cultural changes or according to the city's residents' needs. Instead, they occurred due to economic changes that primarily served visitors and arrivals to the city.
Instrumentos de gestão do meio ambiente: uma análise da realidade dos municípios nordestinos
Authors: Sousa Janaildo Soares de , Sousa Érika Costa , Azevedo Lídia da Silva , Caetano Francisco Aquiles de Oliveira
Published: February 2024

A Constituição Federal de 1988 estabelece que tanto o poder público quanto a sociedade civil são responsáveis pela implementação de políticas públicas e gestão ambiental, visando a redução da degradação ambiental a curto, médio e longo prazo. Para isso, é fundamental que o Estado desenvolva mecanismos eficientes para promover o desenvolvimento e reduzir as externalidades negativas ao meio ambiente, sendo que o município, por sua proximidade com a realidade local, desempenha um papel crucial nesse processo. Nesse sentido, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o nível de implementação dos instrumentos de gestão ambiental nos municípios nordestinos, buscando evidenciar a situação dos entes federativos em relação à adoção dos mecanismos básicos de gestão ambiental. Espera-se que esta análise contribua para a compreensão da importância da gestão municipal em questões ambientais, além de fornecer um diagnóstico sobre a situação atual e uma análise quantitativa de um tema muitas vezes tratado de forma subjetiva na administração pública.
