Authors: Coelho Filho Manuel Pereira , Dias Eduardo Mario , Cerri Giovanni Guido , Dias Maria Lidia , Bego Marco Antonio
Published: October 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant challenges to healthcare systems, particularly in the realm of medical imaging and the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia lung lesions. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become essential in assisting radiologists by swiftly analyzing extensive volumes of computed tomography (CT) scan data to identify lung abnormalities. Radiologists, who typically conduct thorough examinations of CT scans, benefit from AI's capability to pre-screen images, flag potential issues, and prioritize urgent cases, thereby enhancing efficiency during times of high demand. AI, especially through deep learning, can recognize subtle patterns in lung images that may be overlooked by human eyes, offering valuable second opinions and improving diagnostic accuracy and consistency. The early detection of COVID-19 lung lesions by AI facilitates prompt treatment, helping to prevent disease progression and improve patient outcomes. This review article aims to consolidate current knowledge on the topic by examining existing literature and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of employing CT imaging and AI tools for diagnosing COVID-19.

Initial and Continuing Principals’ Training in Brazilian Education: A Historical Analysis
Authors: Ribeiro Djeissom Silva
Published: October 2024

This paper analyzed Brazilian authors’ works on school administration, focusing on the 1930-1969 period, to construct a historical analysis on principals’ training. One of the main difficulties of the research was defining its study object. Although we could highlight the main aspects of principals’ training in Brazil within the selected time frame, there was difficulty in constructing the inferences. The methodology adopted is qualitative and exploratory. For the analysis, we employed Content Analysis, categorizing the material – which represents each of the decades – according to the rule of homogeneity. One of the main findings reveals that the field of study concerning principals’ training has advanced very little. This stagnation is attributed to the fact that Brazil had virtually no investigations on the topic for four decades. Nonetheless, the period analyzed exhibited several significant initiatives aimed at principals’ initial and continuing training, which could be considered pioneering efforts in Brazil.

Authors: BARRY Ousmane , BALDE Mamadou Yaya , BALDE Souleymane , KABA Lamine , SYLLA Aboubacar Safie
Published: October 2024

The classification of elements serves as a rich source of knowledge in chemistry. This article explores the atomic model based on wave mechanics, represented by a graph characterizing the atom, to elucidate both periodic and ordered classifications of elements. Three types of classifications emerge from this graph: periodic, ordered, and hybrid classifications, with the latter resembling periodic tables but incorporating elements of the ordered form. The periodic table stands out as one of the most profound and unifying concepts in modern science. New illustration methods, such as condensed tables with orders and periods, are introduced. The results underscore the conclusiveness of the findings, revealing that classifications extend beyond periodicity, encompassing ordered types of tables as well. This research sheds light on the diverse approaches to classifying elements and opens avenues for further exploration in the field of chemistry.
Evaluating women's jacket sleeves designs for sustainable fashion
and textile waste reduction
Authors: RUSEVA IRINA , GENOVA KRASIMIRA , KAZLACHEVA ZLATINA , INDRIE LILIANA , ZLATEV ZLATIN
Published: October 2024

Finding the most efficient marker planning method is crucial to reduce cut-and-sew waste. Small adjustments to the
design and pattern can help reduce the amount of fabric waste, since marking loss happens during the cutting process
because of spaces and unusable sections between pattern pieces and the curved pattern edges.
Existing research mainly concentrates on optimising the consumption of textile material without taking into account the
design, aesthetics and functionality of the final product. On the other hand, they are mainly focused on optimizing the
sleeves’ construction and in search of new design solutions, with gaps in quantitative and comparative analysis to
reduce waste while producing women's jackets.
This article aims to propose and explore constructive changes in women's jacket designs with 5 different types of
sleeves, to assess the possibility of reducing cut-and-sew waste levels in the cutting process. There have been created
4 different marker plans for each type of sleeve to achieve the high-efficiency markers. It was found that the semi-raglan
sleeve showed the marker efficiency with the best results (76.04%), followed by the raglan sleeve with 72.03% and
72.34% for the drop shoulder sleeve. Interestingly, for the raglan and semi-raglan sleeve variants, the marker efficiency
is not affected by the specific geometric characteristics.
The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method was used to determine which pattern arrangement variant was most
appropriate for the different sleeve types.
Exchange rate fluctuations and industrial production in Malaysia: evidence
from dynamic simulated ARDL analysis
Authors: CHENG SU , BIRAU RAMONA , POPESCU JENICA , PAI T VAIKUNTA , PRICINĂ GABRIEL NICOLAE , PRICINĂ COSMIN MIHAI
Published: October 2024

Contemporary literature argues that the exchange rate serves as an important instrument of industrial policy to boost
economic growth. However, it is difficult to design effective exchange rate policies owing to the uncertainty shrouding
the outcomes of the exchange rate movement for industrial growth. Therefore, this study uses a dynamic simulated
autoregressive distributive lags approach to study the impact of positive and negative changes in the real effective
exchange rate on industrial production of Malaysia for the period 1970–2022. We employ an extended production
function to study this relationship by incorporating capital, labour and globalisation as additional explanatory variables.
The findings suggest that positive (negative) changes in real effective exchange rate are followed by positive (negative)
changes in economic growth in the long run. Furthermore, positive changes in capital affect economic growth positively
and significantly in both the short and long run. Finally, positive (negative) movement in labour and globalization
positively (negatively) and significantly affect industrial production in the long run respectively. Policymakers should
depreciate currency to expand industrial production in Malaysia. Moreover, to boost industrial production, short-term
loans should be introduced for capital accumulation.
The comparative analysis of energy dissipation behaviour of woven
and UD para-aramid fabrics
Authors: ARI ALİ , KARAHAN MEHMET
Published: October 2024

This research examines how impact energy spreads across para-aramid fabrics, comparing woven and unidirectional
types, using 2-D Thin Plate Spline analysis. The experiment involved dropping a weighted hemisphere onto fabric
samples and measuring their deformation across different layer counts. To assess how yarn orientation affects energy
dispersion, panels with 0º/90º and 0º/90º/±45º configurations were tested. By analysing the fabric's shape changes
under impact, the study revealed patterns of energy propagation. Calculations of bending energy and expansion factors
provided insights into this behaviour. The findings indicate that unidirectional fabrics outperform woven structures in
distributing impact energy across their surface. Moreover, incorporating ±45º fibre reinforcements in both fabric types
enhances energy dispersion and mitigates impact effects.
The dynamic of cooling heat flow of simple jersey polyester fabric
Authors: BENLTOUFA SOFIEN
Published: October 2024

The dynamic of cooling heat flow during evaporation of the simple jersey polyester fabrics was investigated in this study.
The holding period as a new parameter was introduced to study the dynamic of cooling heat flow during evaporation
from the skin through the jersey knitted fabric. The holding period intervals were chosen as follows: 0, 30, 60, 90, 120,
180, 240 and 300 seconds.
The Permetest skin model was used to study and visualize the dynamic of the cooling heat flow at different holding
periods. Results demonstrated that adding elastane makes fabrics less cool. Three different stages were noticed
concerning the cooling heat flow dynamic: the first with a maximum heat flow (Qmax) indicating the first contact
properties of a textile material with the skin. The second is a transition phase where the cooling heat flow decreases to
the minimum heat flow (Qmin), and then it reaches the equilibrium (Qeq) mentioning the beginning of the third stage
with a constant heat flow. It was found that the holding period does not affect the measured water vapour resistance, in
the case of polyester jersey fabrics.
From Pollution to Preservation: Impacts of the Namami Gange Project on the Ganga River Ecosystem in the Varanasi Urban Area
Authors: Chaurasia Deepak Kumar , Rana Narendra Kumar , Sharma Vishwambhar Nath
Published: October 2024

The Namami Gange project was started by the Government of India, in 2014 as a mission to rejuvenate the Ganga River from acute pollution and environmental degradation, achingly throwing a plight on this holy waterway. This research paper explores the impact of the Namami Gange project on the holy river Ganga in Varanasi Urban Area, Uttar Pradesh. The study is based on a multi-disciplinary approach with the help of water quality monitoring, sources of pollution, and assessment of the measures followed under the Namami Gange Program. For monitoring the water quality, the parameters adopted in the present research are temperature, pH, conductivity, DO (dissolved oxygen), BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), FC (fecal coliform), and TC (total coliform), before and after the Namami Gange program implementation. Results show a visible improvement in water quality with major reductions in BOD and coliform levels, reflecting better oxygenation and reduced organic pollution. In this direction, the work pertaining to the establishment of STPs (Sewage Treatment Plants) and upgrading of existing infrastructure has been extremely crucial for mitigating the inflows of untreated sewage and industrial effluents into the river. The research also investigated the program's ecological effects on the restoration of aquatic habitats and biodiversity recolonization in a few river reaches. Public awareness campaigns and community participation programs were also completed with huge responses from the local population and pilgrims to enhance the sense of stewardship, which leads to greater sustainability and reduced pollution. The research, however, portrays that some of the lingering challenges pertain to continuous monitoring, STP maintenance, and non-point sources of pollution. More importantly, this would call for a holistic invasive management approach so that these positive outcomes as potentials of the Namami Gange program do not go astray. Overall, the paper provides valuable insights into the efficacy of large-scale environmental interventions and their potential to revive and preserve vital water resources like the Ganga River in Varanasi.

Comparison of the Effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal (AMF) Spore Inoculation on The Growth of Mexican Marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) Plants Grown with Two Different Techniques
Authors: Atmaca Emel
Published: October 2024

In recent years, the importance and utilization of plant-root-fungal mutualistic symbiosis in crop production have been increasing. In this system, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) spores are mostly used as the production material. The abundant production of healthy spores is an influential factor in the widespread use of this microbial fertilizer. Various cultivation and inoculation techniques have been developed for AMF spore production. Soil and substrate-based production techniques are widely used for the large-scale production of AMF spores. However, beyond the commercial scale, it is important to obtain reliable results in plant nutrition and growth by AMF spore inoculation without contamination for scientific studies. Therefore, in this study, the growth status of Mexican marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) grown using the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) and the Hydroponic Technique (HT) by AMF spore inoculation was monitored. For this purpose, a pure mixture of AMF spores (Rhizopaghus irregularis) and a control treatment were applied to the media (500 spores were given to perlite media as plant inoculation material for both systems). Some yield parameters and nutrient contents were determined. At the end of the 3-month study, the differences between the yield and nutrient values of the treatments were found statistically significant (p<0.05). The highest plant height, fresh and dry plant weight, root length, and fresh root weight values (12.93cm-3.65g-1.87g-7.32cm-1.18g, respectively) were obtained in the plants inoculated with mix spores in the HT system. The highest values of some macro and micronutrients in the plants were generally obtained from the plants inoculated in the HT system (R. irregularis and mix mycorrhizal spores). The lowest values of the measured parameters were generally obtained from the control treatments in both systems, but the highest values of B, Zn, and Mn (469.44-371.42-1501.05 mg kg-1) were obtained in the non-inoculated plants (NFT system).

Authors: ISMAIL HAIK , SAI SUBODH GUNDAMRAJU , DHEERAJ MUKKARA NAGA
Published: October 2024

Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the emergence of a monkeypox outbreak poses a significant public health concern. Leveraging deep learning methodologies, particularly the PoxNet22 model, originally based on Modified InceptionV3, has shown promise in monkeypox diagnosis with high precision, recall, and accuracy. However, in this study, we sought to further enhance diagnostic capabilities by exploring detection techniques using YOLOv5 and YOLOv8 architectures. Our analysis revealed that these models achieved exceptional performance in detecting monkeypox, complementing the classification capabilities of existing models. By integrating detection techniques alongside classification, we can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of monkeypox diagnosis, facilitating prompt intervention and containment efforts. These findings hold significant implications for public health, offering a comprehensive approach to monkeypox outbreak management amidst the challenges posed by concurrent infectious disease epidemics. Through the fusion of deep learning and image processing techniques, we provide a robust framework for rapid and accurate monkeypox diagnosis, ultimately aiding in mitigating the spread of this infectious disease.

Published: October 2024

Physical and psychological changes in the elderly will affect their social adjustment abilities, for better or worse.High feelings of inferiority in the elderly will result in the elderly having low self-acceptance. The aim of this community service is to increase self-acceptance and activities of the elderly at the UPT Pelayanan Sosial Tresna Werdha Magetan. This community service was carried out from May 2022 to October 2022, in the form of health education about self-awareness and self-acceptance of the elderly. Health education was carried out using lecture and demonstration methods. The target audience for the counseling is 50 elderly people at the UPT Pelayanan Sosial Tresna Werdha Magetan. Health education was carried out orderly and smoothly according to plan. Elderly attendance reached 100% on the first day and 90% on the second day. The elderly were very cooperative, enthusiastic and actively participated in the counseling until it was finished and most of the elderly were able to carry out the self-hypnosis techniques that were trained. This health education can increase the self-awareness and self-acceptance of the elderly, which can be seen from the increase in the willingness and ability of the elderly to take part in social activities that are routinely held in nursing homes. Considering that self-hypnosis techniques are easy for elderly people to do themselves anywhere and at any time, it is recommended that elderly people do it regularly as therapy to improve the self-awareness and self-acceptance.

Community service in health institutions needs to be guided by six pillars of health transformation, namely to overcome five priority diseases: tuberculosis, stunting, MCH, infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases. One of their focuses is Sidoarjo Regency, where they work closely with the Regional Government to improve public health. Some of the main problems in Sidoarjo Regency include the high rate of stunting and the practice of open defecation (ODF). There is a relationship between stunting and environmental sanitation, especially open defecation. Solutions to overcome this problem include the provision of healthy latrines to the community, increasing the capacity of Posyandu cadres, nutrition management, and promoting clean and healthy living behaviors. This community service activity is based on previous research relevant to stunting and ODF problems. The goal is to reduce stunting rates in five stunting locus villages, increase knowledge about clean and healthy living behaviors, and build 100 healthy family latrines. The method used is Theory, Practice, Follow-up (TPT) which involves training, field practice and advanced mentoring. Conclusion: with the construction of healthy latrines, there has been a decrease in the incidence of diarhe in children. Diarrhea in children is one of the latent causes of stunting rates. By implementing this strategy, it is hoped that a significant increase will be achieved in preventing and reducing stunting rates in Sidoarjo Regency

ABSTRACT Stunting remains a serious challenge for Indonesian society. The 2018 basic health research reported that the prevalence of stunting among toddlers reached 30.8%. The impact of stunting is not only on physical growth but also on cognitive development and the risk of diseases in adulthood. Community service plays a crucial role in supporting government efforts to address stunting through nutrition education, infant and child feeding practices, sanitation, hygiene, and family economic empowerment. Based on this, the involvement of higher education institutions is necessary to improve public health through an approach of interprofessional collaboration and interprofessional education designed in community service activities that focus on empowering communities through integrative assistance. This community service is carried out in 2024, located in Tambak Wedi Village, Surabaya. The activities conducted include training and assistance in the production of processed foods based on moringa leaves and fish, health education on healthy living behaviors, guidance on parenting and breastfeeding/MPASI, training for early detection of high-risk pregnancies for families, and checking hemoglobin and protein levels for pregnant women in a state of chronic energy deficiency who receive supplementary feeding based on moringa leaves and fish. At the beginning of the community service activities, the results of health and laboratory examinations were as follows: several mothers were found to have a mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) below 23.5 cm, which may indicate a risk of chronic energy deficiency (CED). Pregnant women were still found with hemoglobin levels below 11 g/dL, indicating anemia during pregnancy. Additionally, protein levels in pregnant women were found to be 6.2 g/dL, and there was one stunted child and seven children in a pre-stunting condition. Following up on the results of the initial health examination, interventions were carried out for pregnant women with chronic energy deficiency and toddlers at risk of stunting by providing snacks made from moringa and fish for two weeks. The Surabaya Hebat cadres also received a refresher on early detection screening for high-risk pregnant women
