Chaotic Encryption Scheme for Double Grayscale Images using Sprott B Hyperchaotic Map
Authors: Mandangan Arif , Ramlee Syahidatul Shafiqah
Published: July 2024

Image encryption become more significant since most of our data are communicated and stored as digital image form. To warrant high confidentiality, cipher image must be the produced in excellent quality to avoid any information leakage related to the original image. Since image has become one of the most used tools in information exchanges, large production and storage of cipher images are highly demanded, and this scenario could affect the production of high-quality cipher images. While most of existing encryption for images are for single image, processing multiple images simultaneously comes in handy as a fitting fast action to realize the convenience of encryption, storage, and transmission of multiple images. Inspired by those idea, we proposed a new chaotic encryption scheme using Sprott B hyperchaotic map. Using this scheme, two grayscale images are encrypted to produce a single cipher image. The encryption begins with the process of combining two images and encrypting the combined image using the hyperchaotic map. One cipher image will be produced representing and carrying information of the combination of the two images. Our experiments demonstrated significant enhancement offered by the scheme, while maintaining the quality of the recovered plain image. The proposed scheme yields cipher image with excellent quality in terms of noise-like visual of which the information of the images is concealed. While the proposed scheme satisfies the requirements of producing cipher images with excellent quality, it also achieves the credibility to decrypt the cipher image and restoring the plain image exactly similar to the original image.

Authors: Abdul Hakim Noor Syuhada , Omar Mohd Azlan , Abdul Hakim Muhammad Hafiz
Published: July 2024

Learning about menstrual hygiene is one of the most important aspects of health education, especially for adolescent girls. Many adolescent girls have insufficient knowledge about menstrual hygiene awareness, which can lead to unhealthy behaviours and practices during menstruation. This study set out to observe the knowledge of menstruation and menstrual hygiene practices among adolescent girls in rural areas. One hundred adolescent girls from the rural areas located in Negeri Sembilan were involved in this study. Respondents need to fill up three parts of the questionnaire, i.e., demographic information, general information about menstruation, and menstrual hygiene practices. Results from this study found that the majority of the respondents attained menarche at the age of 12-15 years. The main source of information about menstruation among respondents is obtained from their mothers (60%). In practice, around 69% of them change their sanitary pads thrice daily. Most respondents (80%) dispose of used sanitary pads in the dustbin. Also, 60% reported changing sanitary pads at school. Concisely, 90% of them still need more information about menstruation and menstrual hygiene. Hence, educating them on this issue is essential so they can practice properly and hygienically during menstruation.
Factors Affecting Soil Bulk Density: A Conceptual Model
Authors: Eng Giap Sunny Goh , Ahmad Mohammad Fadhli
Published: July 2024

Soil bulk density is an important aspect of soil properties, and it can affect agroecology as in diversity, synergies, efficiency, recycling, and resilience. Diversity as in soil low in bulk density allows greater penetration of plant roots allow better access of water and nutrients. The synergistic effect of adequate supply of soil moisture content in forming moderately low soil bulk density for deeper plant roots for better access to water and nutrients. Agroecology efficiency reduces the need of external inputs to reduce environmental impact related to the resulted excessive pollution and wastage. Ultimately, an improved soil bulk density may increase the overall agroecosystem resilience and output, thus, improving the efficiency. Recycling in agroecology involved mass recycling and heat circulation as in nutrient, water, and waste reduction. A high soil bulk density will impede the recycling process the soil. Resilience as in drought resistance is for soil not too loosely packed that cannot hold water or too compacted until flooding water occurs at the surface and too little water infiltrates the soil. In addition, soil bulk density can affect the estimation of soil moisture content and temperature distribution. The ability to understand the factors that influence changes in soil bulk density would improve the predictive ability of the current model. The current study conducts a review on factors affecting the soil bulk density that is divided into soil physical, chemical, biological, environmental, and management practices. A cumulative of more than 50 factors are discussed in the review on how it affects the change in soil bulk density. The current review illustrates the conceptual relation of these factors on soil bulk density. Also, the result of the current work can be used to support future endeavour by turning the conceptual relation into quantifiable predictive model.

Authors: Manase Karren , Chikoore Rachael , P. Mugauri Calving
Published: July 2024

Quelea birds are small but highly intrusive birds that have become a menace in small grain farms. Previous researches has it that their extreme coordinated and destructive feeding behaviors can result in substantial crop and financials losses for small grain farmers in Zimbabwe, mostly commercial wheat farmers. Traditional methods of deterring and controlling the quelea birds’ population such as catch and consume have proven to be labour intensive, time consuming as well as costly. Some Zimbabwean wheat farmers leveraged on drone technology to scare and control the birds’ population through chemical control but these proved to be environmentally unfriendly as the chemicals might end up negatively affecting the ecosystem of the surrounding environment. The research is centered on the development of an IoT based virtual fence system to deter invasion and control quelea birds’ population using automated nets. The researcher aims to deliver an understanding of how innovative technologies such as virtual fencing, IOT and automated nets can be leveraged to address agricultural challenges caused by quelea birds to wheat farmers in Zimbabwe. The system comprises a network of linked sensors that form a virtual boundary to detect an invasion, automated nets, buzzer to deter flock and wireless network technology to send data to a central or cloud storage for future analysis and further development of the system. Ultrasonic sensors, ESP32 Microcontroller and wireless network technology were used in the development of the model. The IoT based virtual fence system to deter and control quelea birds’ population provides a cost effective, efficient and environmentally friendly solution to the quelea birds’ menace in wheat farms and ensuring food security for the country.

range, we examine the median residual abundances of 14 open clusters, nine globular clusters, and four dwarf satellite galaxies. Relative to field Milky Way disk stars, the open clusters younger than 2 Gyr show ≈0.1−0.2 dex enhancements of the neutron-capture element Ce, and the two clusters younger than 0.5 Gyr also show elevated levels of C+N, Na, S, and Cu. Globular clusters show elevated median abundances of C+N, Na, Al, and Ce, and correlated abundance residuals that follow previously known trends. The four dwarf satellites show similar residual abundance patterns despite their different star formation histories, with ≈0.2–0.3 dex depletions in C+N, Na, and Al and ≈0.1 dex depletions in Ni, V, Mn, and Co. We provide our catalog of corrected APOGEE abundances, two-process amplitudes, and residual abundances, which will be valuable for future studies of abundance patterns in different stellar populations and of additional enrichment processes that affect galactic chemical evolution.
Spectral Indices and Evidence of Wave–Wave Modulation in Observations of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field
Authors: Loto’aniu Paul T. M. , Krista Larisza
Published: July 2024

We present wave and turbulence observations from the DSCOVR spacecraft during the 2017 September solar flare and coronal mass ejection (CME) events. On September 4–12, the spectral index within the magnetic field power spectral density inertial range was consistent with Kolmogorov −5/3. This is despite the 9 days being composed of a complex mix of different features, including solar flares, solar energetic particle events, and CMEs. When analyzing shorter time periods, the spectral index varies. For two days where there were consecutive CMEs, the index follows Kraichnan–Iroshinikov −3/2, while on two quiet days, it was a mixture of −1, −3/2, and −2. The inertial range spectral index taken over the entire 9 days hides or averages out spectral features that occur over shorter time periods. We use a more realistic estimate of the amount of Doppler shifting into the spacecraft frame to show that the break frequencies on most days were located close to the H+ cyclotron frequency. We present evidence of wave–wave modulation and suggest that lower-frequency waves in the solar wind can modulate the growth rates/propagation of ion cyclotron waves, providing a method to transfer energy in the solar wind to smaller scales. Furthermore, we suggest that the indices in the inertial range can be explained by combining containment due to wave generation/propagation and stochastic Brownian motion in the solar wind. When these two phenomena are equal, they combine to create a −3/2 index.
Nuclear Uncertainties Associated with the Nucleosynthesis in Ejecta of a Black Hole Accretion Disk
Authors: Mumpower Matthew R. , Sprouse Trevor M. , Miller Jonah M. , Lund Kelsey A. , Garcia Jonathan Cabrera , Vassh Nicole , McLaughlin Gail C. , Surman Rebecca
Published: July 2024

The simulation of heavy element nucleosynthesis requires input from yet-to-be-measured nuclear properties. The uncertainty in the values of these off-stability nuclear properties propagates to uncertainties in the predictions of elemental and isotopic abundances. However, for any given astrophysical explosion, there are many different trajectories, i.e., temperature and density histories, experienced by outflowing material, and thus different nuclear properties can come into play. We consider combined nucleosynthesis results from 460,000 trajectories from a black hole accretion disk and find the spread in elemental predictions due solely to unknown nuclear properties to be a factor of a few. We analyze this relative spread in model predictions due to nuclear variations and conclude that the uncertainties can be attributed to a combination of properties in a given region of the abundance pattern. We calculate a cross-correlation between mass changes and abundance changes to show how variations among the properties of participating nuclei may be explored. Our results provide further impetus for measurements of multiple quantities on individual short-lived neutron-rich isotopes at modern experimental facilities.
A Revisited Equilibrium Solution of the Fishbone and Moncrief Torus for Extended General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations
Authors: Uniyal Akhil , Dihingia Indu K. , Mizuno Yosuke
Published: July 2024

Accretion physics has become more important recently due to the detection of the first horizon-scale images of the supermassive black holes of M 87* and Sgr A* by the Event Horizon Telescope. General relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations of magnetized accretion flows onto a Kerr black hole have been used to interpret them. However, further testing the theory of gravity by using horizon-scale images requires performing consistent GRMHD simulations in non-Kerr spacetime. In this paper, we revisited the hydrodynamical equilibrium solution of the Fishbone and Moncrief (FM) torus that can be used to study any stationary, axisymmetric, vacuum, or nonvacuum spacetime. Further, we check the stability of the FM torus in non-Kerr spacetime by general relativistic hydrodynamic simulations. We find that FM torus in non-Kerr spacetime is indeed stable under long-term evolution. We conclude that the generalized FM torus solution would be very useful for creating new GRMHD libraries in extended Kerr black holes.

Published: July 2024

La figure du père en situation migratoire est mise à rude épreuve et parfois laissée pour compte. Nous nous proposons d’éclairer cette figure en rappelant quelques facteurs qui contribuent à sa mise en faillite. Nous adoptons une démarche comparative basée sur une expérience clinique et des données théoriques en croisant les données culturelles avec l’expérience rapportée par les pères lors des consultations et les pratiques de la parentalité d’ici et d’ailleurs étudiées en sciences de l’éducation et en psychologie clinique. Nous concluons par la présentation de notre approche transculturelle de la parentalité qui vise à restaurer un équilibre dans les systèmes couple et famille, à même de permettre au père de prendre une juste place qui tienne compte des processus de changement et des besoins de chacun dans sa famille.

With the vigorous development of e-commerce, accurately modeling and predicting user behavior has become a key factor in improving business efficiency. Precisely understanding user behavior not only enables companies to provide personalized services but also allows them to stand out in the intense market competition. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of applying end-to-end models, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and attention mechanisms in time series modeling to enhance the performance of modeling and predicting user behavior in e-commerce. In the methodology section, we first introduce the basic principles of the end-to-end model, which extracts features directly from raw data for prediction, avoiding the need for intricate feature engineering. Simultaneously, we introduce Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to better capture long-term dependencies in time series data.
A holistic cure for cancer and survival from the indirect effects of nuclear attack
Authors: Lahiri Sitanshu Sekhar , Chakraborty Amlan
Published: July 2024

Background:

The global search for a safe, irreversible cure after lethal radiation exposure and cancer has not been successful since World War II. Nuclear warfare cannot be recreated in a laboratory. Simulation experiments require highly classified, expensive, and approved infrastructure. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy affect both healthy and damaged cells and often lead to cancer recurrence. A lethal dose of ionizing radiation (IR) is devastating because of instant, massive, and diffuse DNA breaks, chromosomal aberrations, tissue oxidation, and the cascading generation of free radicals, and it can cause cancer. People exposed to a nuclear attack directly cannot be cured.

Methods:

A formulation comprising aqueous extracts of leaves of Indian bael (Aegle marmelos) and Oxalis corniculate, roots of ginseng (Panax ginseng), custard apple (Annona squamosa) or sitaphal cotyledons, methi (Fenugreek) seeds, and lytic Newcastle disease virus (nonhuman) was used. A few doses of the formulation were injected intraperitoneally into lethally gamma-irradiated mice; mice were also injected with Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells. Breast and cervical cancer cells were treated with this formulation in vitro.

Results:

We have developed a solution to the lasting problem. The formulation induced apoptosis in IR-damaged cancer cells by the developed formulation in vivo and in vitro, with no subsequent regrowth. No adverse effects were observed. The control ‘DF1’ Fibroblast cells did not exhibit any change after the drug administration. A possible explanation is the loss of defense responses in damaged cells, allowing the multiplication of the killer virus. Thus, people with cancer and those who escape the direct impacts of nuclear accidents may be saved. The lyophilized components can be stored at room temperature under field conditions.

Conclusion:

Successful treatment with herbs and virotherapy (a nanomedicine) can be delivered as tablets (a stable formulation) to remote areas, which may be a permanent solution to the prolonged search for the treatment of radiation exposure.

The study aimed to test if Briganti’s 2012 nomogram could be associated with the risk of prostate cancer (PCa) progression in European Association of Urology (EAU) intermediate-risk patients treated with robotic surgery. From January 2013 to December 2021, 527 consecutive patients belonging to the EAU intermediate-risk class were selected. Briganti’s 2012 nomogram, which predicts the risk of pelvic lymph node invasion (PLNI), was assessed as a continuous and dichotomous variable that categorized up to the median of 3.0%. Disease progression defined as biochemical recurrence and/or metastatic progression was evaluated by Cox proportional hazards (univariate and multivariate analysis). After a median follow-up of 95.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 78.5–111.4), PCa progression occurred in 108 (20.5%) patients who were more likely to present with an unfavorable nomogram risk score, independently by the occurrence of unfavorable pathology including tumor upgrading and upstaging as well as PLNI. Accordingly, as Briganti’s 2012 risk score increased, patients were more likely to experience disease progression (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.060; 95% CI: 1.021–1.100; P = 0.002); moreover, it also remained significant when dichotomized above a risk score of 3.0% (HR = 2.052; 95% CI: 1.298–3.243; P < 0.0001) after adjustment for clinical factors. In the studied risk population, PCa progression was independently predicted by Briganti’s 2012 nomogram. Specifically, we found that patients were more likely to experience disease progression as their risk score increased. Because of the significant association between risk score and tumor behavior, the nomogram can further stratify intermediate-risk PCa patients, who represent a heterogeneous risk category for which different treatment paradigms exist.

Published: July 2024

Background:

Doctors were under a tremendous amount of stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. The uncertainty regarding the future is compounded by lack of clarity about the postgraduate (PG) entrance examination. We assessed aspirants of PG National Eligibility cum Entrance Test postgraduate (NEET PG) for psychological burden in domains of depression, anxiety, stress COVID-19-related stress, and attitudes toward situation affecting doctors and explored the association between psychological burden and other variables.

Methodology:

Google form was used to collect data from aspirants who appeared for NEET PG 2021. The variables included age, gender, career status, marital status, number of attempts, and medical environment-related stress. Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale and COVID-19 Student Stress Scale Questionnaire (CSSQ) scales were used to measure psychological burden. Analysis was done using SPSS version 21.0.

Results:

Of 289 participants, two-thirds had very severe depression and anxiety while two-fifths had very severe stress. Most of them were distressed by NEET examination, the postponed Supreme Court verdict, mental health of PG aspirants, and violence against health-care workers. There is low satisfaction with having chosen the medical profession. The distress from the above medical environment was associated with depression and anxiety. Gender and COVID-19-related stress were associated with severe depression, anxiety, and stress. Multivariate logistic regression showed female gender and CSSQ score were associated with the risk of severe stress and happiness with medical profession was protective.

Conclusion:

PG aspirants are undergoing severe psychological burden. Prompt action should be taken to address this crisis.
Sleep Quality and its Predictors among Undergraduate Medical Students of a Teaching Institute in Telangana, South India: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Mohandas Anu , Patnala Lavanya , Shalini M. B. , Varma Pavani , Sharma Suditi , Pattnaik Snigdha
Published: July 2024

Background:

Medical students are vulnerable to sleep disturbances as they navigate life through academic stress, long on-call duties, emotional challenges, and exhaustion. Insufficient sleep negatively affects cognitive functions and fine motor skills, leading to deficiencies in attention, increased drowsiness while driving, propensity for risk-taking behavior, heightened risk of depression, impaired interpersonal relationships, and the potential to impact learning technical aspects of curriculum as well as delivering quality patient care.

Objectives:

The objective of this study was to measure the sleep quality and its determining factors among undergraduate medical students of a teaching institute in Telangana, South India.

Methodology:

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 401 undergraduate medical students. A semi-structured questionnaire including the sociodemographic details, medical history, and screen time, followed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) which assesses the time of quality sleep, frequency of troubled sleep, etc., over the last 1 month was used. The quality of sleep score of >5 indicates poor sleep quality.

Results:

The mean age was 20.41 years (standard deviation [SD] =2.08). Known comorbidities were present among 17 (4.2%), and 13 (3.2%) had psychiatric conditions. Poor sleep quality was present among 70% of medical undergraduates. The mean global PSQI score was 6.22 (SD = 2.9). The factors found significantly associated with poor sleep quality were academic stress (P = 0.009; odds ratio [OR] = 2.154 [CI = 1.250–3.713]), headache and self-medication (P = 0.008; OR = 1.868 [CI = 1.178–2.964]), and nighttime screen use (P < 0.001; OR = 18.12 [CI = 5.48–59.87]).

Conclusion:

Sleep deprivation and poor sleep quality is a major concern among medical undergraduates. It is important to have a proper sleep–wake routine and maintain good sleep hygiene. This includes reducing the use of screens before bedtime and addressing any underlying health conditions, including mental health issues, to improve sleep quality and overall well-being.
Factors Inducing Alcohol Seeking Behaviors in Patients Dependent on Alcohol-A Case-control Analysis
Authors: Saini Ashwani , Ogha A. , Dhingra Neha
Published: July 2024

Context:

Alcohol use has increased to the extent that it has become a menace to society. There are certain external or social factors which linger an individual around alcohol despite efforts to cut its consumption. Furthermore, the ingrained factors as an individual’s personality and associated comorbid psychiatric disorders render alcohol-seeking behaviors. These factors further lead to problems in help-seeking, adjustment in society, and continuation of treatment. Although studies in the past have highlighted these risk factors, this study was conducted to understand the role of social factors, personality, and simultaneously occurring illness in patients of alcohol dependence with healthy controls.

Aim:

The aim of this study was to study the factors inducing alcohol-seeking behaviors in patients dependent on alcohol.

Settings and Design:

This case–control study was conducted among 100 male patients. It included 50 patients diagnosed with alcohol use disorder and other 50 patients as healthy controls.

Subjects and Methods:

Participants were assessed clinically and the Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment of Alcohol Scale-Revised scale, Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test, Mini-international neuropsychiatric interview, and International Personality Disorder Evaluation scales were administered.

Statistical Analysis:

A Chi-square test was applied for the categorical variable. Univariate linear regression was done for the independent variable.

Results:

Marital status, occupation, and residential area significantly affect alcohol use behavior. Affective disorders (22%) were the most common comorbidity and dissocial personality disorders (24%) were most prevalent.

Conclusions:

While addressing the issues related to dependence a focused approach including social, biological, and psychological factors must be considered.
