TRADE ROUTES OF EARLY TAMILAKAM - A STUDY OF THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOURCES
Authors: Verma Vikas K.
Published: September 2022

Trade activities through the ages have promoted interactions between distant lands connected by the networks of routes. Ancient Tamil region too participated actively in the process of exchange which was facilitated by overland routes and waterways. The diverse physiographic features of Tamilakam necessitated the commodities trade with different regions. Besides the land routes linking various parts of the subcontinent, maritime networks served as important means of communication with other countries. Although literary texts including the foreign accounts throw significant lights in this regard, archeological discoveries supplement with the information that helps in better understanding in order to draw inferences in the context of trade and commerce. This paper focuses upon the excavated remains found at important sites such as Arikamedu, Uraiyur, Korkai, Alagankulam, Poompuhar (Kaveripattinam), Porunthal, Kodumanal Karur and Pattanam (Muciri/Muziris), which enable us to draw an outline of the trade routes in ancient period. The antiquities attest to the presence of various routes for establishing contacts with the coastal and inland centres.

Atualmente as Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (IST) são consideradas como problemas de saúde pública, pois atingem a população e sua qualidade de vida, podendo apresentar complicações mais graves em mulheres, bem como infertilidade, abortos e, senão tratadas, até a morte. Este estudo, tem como objetivo apresentar as IST: Sífilis e HIV/AIDS e os fatores que tornam as mulheres mais suscetíveis a contrair a doença. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa da literatura onde com base nos dados analisados, foi possível identificar os principais fatores que tornam as mulheres mais suscetíveis às IST. São eles: mulheresprofissionais do sexo; mulheres em sistema prisional; crime e/ou violência sexual; gestantes e baixo padrão socioeconômico. Deste modo, considera-se de extrema importância que as Unidades Básicas de Saúde que servem como porta de entrada do SUS, ofereçam uma atenção igualitária a todas as mulheres e, especialmente àquelas que estão mais suscetíveis à IST para que se sintam acolhidas e zeladas, a fim de realizar o rompimento da cadeia de transmissão da doença.

De aanleg van regenbakken in vroegmodern Deventer
Authors: Moerman Dániel
Published: September 2022

In recent years, many old cisterns for the collection of rainwater have been discovered in Dutch cities, in particular in Amsterdam. Such rainwater cisterns were for centuries an important source of fresh water. Most date from the second half of the sixteenth century onwards. They were especially prevalent in the western provinces, where the ground and surface water were mostly unpotable due to salinization and pollution. However, rainwater cisterns are also known to have existed in the eastern parts of the country. Yet very little is known about the architectural history of these cisterns in the Netherlands, especially for the period prior to the seventeenth century. While there are archaeological reports detailing specific aspects of their construction, the historical literature focuses on the use of rainwater cisterns by households and industry. There is a general lack of written sources describing the construction of cisterns prior to the seventeenth century.

 

This article highlights one specific historical source that has not been fully studied, namely the accounts left by the stewards of the former ecclesiastical houses in the city of Deventer. After the city became   part of the Dutch Republic in 1591, the ecclesiastical houses were confiscated by the city and extensively refurbished. This included the construction of rainwater cisterns in around 1600. The accounts of these  works contain valuable notes regarding the construction process and maintenance of cisterns, the use of specific materials and the hiring of specialist workmen.

The findings from these notes, as presented in this article, can be used to complement recent  archaeological findings and contemporary architectural descriptions, thus providing insights for further research. The notes confirm, for example, that these rainwater cisterns were constructed underground by the same specialist, according to a specific design, using similar materials, such as bricks known as ‘klinkaerts’, and trass to create waterproof mortar. The construction of rainwater cisterns was sometimes accompanied by roof renovations designed to enhance the rainwater collection, as illustrated by an example. Ultimately, the article aims to show the relevance of such historical sources to furthering our knowledge of the construction history of rainwater cisterns in the Netherlands, in particular in the rather underexamined eastern parts of the country. Future research could aim to  synthesize such historical sources with archaeological findings in order to arrive at a more comprehensive view of rainwater cisterns and their history in both the eastern and western Netherlands.

Published: September 2022

RF coaxial cables are essential components in radio frequency and microwave systems. RF coaxial cables are necessary for the test and measurement systems. In spacecraft (TTC & Payload subsystem) testing, RF coaxial cables are used to uplink the signal from signal sources to spacecraft and receive the signal from spacecraft to measuring equipment. The performance of the RF coaxial cable can affect the test results of the spacecraft. The primary performance parameter for coaxial cable is the loss or attenuation. The losses are attributed to several factors and are present in all the RF Coaxial Cables. Environmental conditions affect coaxial cables, including temperature, pressure, moisture, dampness, etc. In this paper, an analysis of S-Parameters for RF coaxial cables at different environmental conditions is given. For this purpose, in the thermo vacuum chamber (TVAC), an experiment was conducted on N-type Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or Teflon coaxial cables during TVAC IST. A vector network analyzer and a computer with a LabVIEW-based application were used as a data acquisition system. All the processing of acquired data is done using the matrix laboratory (MATLAB) tool.

Published: September 2022

A business focused on the consumer and its satisfaction is an important factor in ensuring the company's competitiveness. The process of attracting new customers always involves more money, time and energy. In order for a company to retain existing customers and gain only new ones, one of the main tasks is to know the factors that make them happy. Within the framework of this work, the authors want to study the theoretical foundations of consumer satisfaction, to understand the peculiarities of the development of consumer satisfaction using digital content creators - influencers. The use of influencers is an integral part of today's business development, enabling companies to operate successfully in a competitive environment. This study identifies factors that influence consumer satisfaction with the use of influencers to enable companies to improve their use and become more competitive. The study uses both secondary data analysis and expert interviews and consumer surveys. The study describes the situation in the field of influencer marketing use in the Baltic States. The study finds that influencers provide a higher level of consumer satisfaction. In order to achieve the goal of the research, three tasks were set: 1) to analyse theoretical basis of consumer satisfaction and the use of influencers; 2) to describe the use of influencers and their contribution to consumer satisfaction; 3) to study consumer evaluation of influencer activities. A monographic or descriptive method was used to analyse the theoretical aspects of the use of influencers, an analysis of secondary data was used to describe the situation, and a consumer survey was conducted to examine consumer perceptions of influencer activity and its contribution to consumer satisfaction.
Changes in corporate websites and business activity: automatic classification of corporate webpages
Authors: Valenzuela Rubilar Joan Manuel , Domenech Josep , Pont Ana
Published: September 2022

Every time a firm or institution performs an activity on the Web, this is registered, leaving a "digital footprint”. Part this digital footprint is reflected on their websites as these officially represent them on the Web. We plan to automatically monitor the changes that periodically occur in a website to relate them with the business activity. The aim of this paper is to propose a theoretical classification of corporate webpages to associate changes that occur on them with the regular activity of the firms, and to evaluate the possibility of an automatic categorization using classification models. To generate the classification of corporate webpages, a significant number of today corporate webpages were analyzed and observed, distinguishing four theoretical types of corporate webpages. To evaluate the automatic categorization of corporate webpages, a dataset of 1005 today corporate pages was generated by manually labeling them and evaluating their automatic categorization using classification models.

This Evidence Connection article provides a case report of a young child receiving early intervention services. I describe the occupational therapy evaluation and intervention processes for supporting this child’s sleep routines in the home and early childhood education settings. A systematic review on this topic was published in the March/April 2020 issue of the American Journal of Occupational Therapy and in AOTA’s Occupational Therapy Practice Guidelines for Early Childhood: Birth–Age 5 Years. Each article in this series summarizes the evidence from published reviews on a given topic and presents an application of the evidence to a related clinical case. Evidence Connection articles illustrate how the research evidence from the reviews can be used to inform and guide clinical decision making.
The role of prosodic focus in the reanalysis of garden path sentences: Depth of semantic processing impedes the revision of an erroneous local analysis
Authors: Choe June , Yoshida Masaya , Cole Jennifer
Published: September 2022

Research on post-repair representations of garden path sentences has found that readers systematically arrive at misinterpretations even after displaying evidence of reanalysis (Christianson et al., 2001; Ferreira et al., 2001). These comprehension errors have been attributed to the semantic interpretation associated with the incorrect parse persisting past disambiguation, but less is known about the mechanism driving this phenomenon (Sturt, 2007; Slattery et al., 2013). A speeded auditory comprehension experiment examined the depth of semantic processing as an independent influence on the strength of semantic persistence, drawing on known effects of pitch accent on the processing of focus-related semantic meaning (Fraundorf et al., 2010). Participants heard garden path sentences with early/late-closure ambiguity (e.g., While Anna dressed the baby stopped crying) with a sharply rising pitch accent on either the unambiguous adjunct subject or the ambiguously transitive adjunct verb, followed by a comprehension question that probed whether the incorrect late-closure analysis persisted. Since the pitch accent is often a strong cue for semantic focus when it occurs in prosodically marked phrase-medial positions, we reasoned that a deeper semantic processing would be facilitated for the late-closure analysis only when the verb receives a pitch accent. Findings indicate that a pitch accent on the verb significantly decreased accuracy without a corresponding increase on response time, suggesting that a deeper semantic processing of the erroneous parse can strengthen its resistance to revision without necessarily interfering with the process of structure-building.

Authors: Hegde Pravesh , Prasanna Kumar Shetty  , Shilpa S Shetty  , Lakshmi Manjeera  , D Prashanth Shetty  , Suchetha Kumari N
Published: September 2022

Introduction and Aim: Polycystic ovary syndrome is a diverse condition that contributes to metabolic problems like insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism which women experience during their reproductive years, and it is closely related to the body mass index. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical, biochemical, and hormonal profiles of PCOS patients and healthy women concerning age and BMI and to correlate insulin with other parameters.
 
Materials and Methods: The present case-control study was conducted from June 2019-April 2021. 180 PCOS women and 170 age-matched healthy women were enrolled from Mangalore, Karnataka. Anthropometric measurements, biochemical, hormonal profile, and the presence of IR were estimated in all patients and were further subdivided based on age and BMI.
 
Results: The mean age of patients with PCOS and controls was 25.9± 5.6 years vs 24.7 ± 6.8 years. BMI and WHR had statistical significance (p<0.01) between the groups. TG & HDL showed statistical significance (p<0.05) in both age groups who were underweight and had normal BMI. A significant difference (p<0.05) was also observed in plasma insulin and HOMA-IR in all groups except in women who were obese.
 
Conclusion: PCOS women were presented with hyperandrogenism and had metabolic risk factors like insulin resistance and low HDL-C levels at budding age and increased BMI. When comparing women with and without PCOS from the south Indian state of Karnataka, our findings revealed that changes in sex hormone levels had no significant impact on age or BMI.

Authors: Ramlingareddy  , A Ramachandrayya Shivashankara , Jacob Jeena , Mala Malathi
Published: September 2022

Introduction and Aim:   Diabetic nephropathy is the common cause of final stage of kidney disease. Studies on trace elements and oxidant-antioxidant status in diabetes mellitus are required for establishing the mechanisms involved in pathogenesis of diabetic complications, and also to establish biomarkers of diabetic nephropathy in addition to the conventional markers. The present study aimed to assess and correlate the blood levels of copper, iron, ceruloplasmin, total iron binding capacity (TIBC) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in diabetic nephropathy patients in comparison to diabetic individuals without complications and normal healthy controls.
 
Materials and Methods: The study subjects were, diabetic patients with nephropathy (group 1), diabetic patients without complications (group 2), and healthy controls (group 3). In the serum samples of all study subjects levels of copper, iron, ceruloplasmin, TIBC and TAC were estimated by standard spectrophotometric methods.
 
Results: Levels of copper, ceruloplasmin, iron and TIBC in serum were significantly higher and TAC was lower in diabetic patients when compared to controls, and more pronounced changes were seen in diabetic nephropathy patients when compared to diabetic patients with no complications. There was significant positive correlation among glycated hemoglobin, copper, iron and microalbumin in diabetic patients with or without nephropathy. Serum Total antioxidant capacity showed significant negative correlation with HbA1c, microalbuminuria, copper, and iron in diabetic patients with and without nephropathy.
 
Conclusion: Serum levels of trace elements could serve as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of diabetic nephropathy complimentary to microalbuminuria and glycated haemoglobin. Monitoring the trace elements and oxidative stress biomarkers in diabetic patients could be beneficial to prevent oxidative stress and pathogenesis of diabetic complications.

The impacts of dust aerosol and convective available potential energy on precipitation vertical structure in eastern China as seen from multiple source observations

Published: September 2022

Abstract. The potential impacts of dust aerosol and atmospheric convective available potential energy (CAPE) on the vertical development of precipitating clouds in eastern China were studied using multiple-sources observations. In the study area, heavy dusty condition is coupled with strong north wind which carried airmass contained high concentration of mineral dust particles with cold temperature and strong wind shear. This leads to weaker CAPE in dusty days comparing with that in pristine days. Based on satellite observations, the precipitating drops under dusty condition grow faster at middle layer (with temperature -5 °C to +2 °C) but slower at upper and lower layer comparing with the pristine counterpart. For a given precipitation top height, the precipitation rate under dusty condition is weaker in upper layer but heavier at middle and lower layer. And the associated latent heating rate released by precipitation at middle layer is stronger. The precipitation top temperature (PTT) shows fairly good linear relationship with near surface rain rate (NSRR). The linear regression slope between PTT and NSRR are stable at dusty and pristine conditions. However, the PTT0 (precipitation top temperature related to rain onset) at the onset of rain are highly affected by both CAPE and aerosol condition. In pristine days, stronger CAPE facilitate the vertical development of precipitation and leads to a decrease of PTT0 at the rate of -0.65 °C per 100 J kg-1 CAPE for deep convective precipitation with variation of 15 %, and by -0.41 °C per 100 J kg-1 CAPE for stratiform precipitation with variation of 12 %. After removing the impacts of CAPE on PTT, dust aerosols lead an increase of PTT at the rate by +4.19 °C per unit AOD for deep convective precipitation and by +0.35 °C per unit AOD for stratiform precipitation. This study showed clear evidence that meteorology conditions are combined with aerosol condition together to affect the vertical development of precipitation clouds. And quantitative estimation of the sensitivity of PTT to CAPE and dust were provided.
Blended finance, transparent data, and the complications of waters' multiple ontologies
Authors: Tristl Christiane
Published: September 2022

Abstract. In this article, I will utilize the elusive and fluid identity and texture of water to complicate an essentialist view of modern water that finds new relevance in claims to close the financing gap to provide safely managed water for all by the year 2030. To close this gap, models of blended finance are pursued that rely on transparent and auditable performance data of digital systems. Tracing the implementation of pay-as-you-go (PAYGo) water dispensers in off-grid areas in the Global South, I will demonstrate that the supposedly transparent and objective data generated from remote monitoring systems form part of the enactment of only one water reality amidst the multiple enactments of waters in relation to their sociotechnical environments, non-human encounters, and human bodies. Drawing on ethnographic material from two different settings in Kenya – the so-called informal Nairobi settlement of Mathare and a village called Kondo – I will show that, on the one hand, waters' multiplicity proliferates and, on the other hand, multiple waters and alternative water realities are deliberately undone. The paper closes with a call for the attentiveness to multiple waters.

Authors: Didenkulova Ekaterina , Didenkulova Ira , Medvedev Igor
Published: September 2022

Abstract. Freak or rogue waves are unexpectedly large waves in seas and oceans, which occur without specific reasons, and cause human loss, damage of ships, oil platforms, and coastal structures. Evidences of such waves are widely spread around the globe. The present paper is devoted to analysis of the unified collection of freak wave events from different chronicles and catalogues from 2005 to 2021. The considered rogue waves are not measured in situ data, but their descriptions, which have been found in the mass media sources and scientific articles. All of them resulted in ship or coastal/offshore structure damage and/or human losses. The collection accounts for 429 events. First, the analysis based on their characteristics taken from the descriptions of the events (including locations, water depth, damages) is carried out. Second, the analysis of wave parameters taken from the climate reanalysis ERA5 is performed. Thus, the most probable background wave parameters in time of freak event (including wind speed, gusts, significant wave height, maximum wave height, peak wave period, skewness, and kurtosis) for each freak wave event are determined.
The Independent Inventions of General Anesthesia in 19th century Japan and United States
Authors: Patel Arjun
Published: September 2022

In October of 1804, surgeon Hanaoka Seishū performed the first documented surgery using general anesthesia. Hanaoka’s formulation, a mixture of plant extracts called tsūsensan, was commonly used in Japan, but it had minimal influence elsewhere. It was not until the 1840s that general anesthesia was used outside of Japan. In the eastern United States, four individuals, including dentist William Morton, were independently experimenting with the use of diethyl ether and nitrous oxide as general anesthetics. Unlike Hanaoka’s invention, Morton’s successful use of diethyl ether in a neck tumour removal surgery sparked the rapid development and proliferation of new anesthetic technologies and compounds throughout the world. This paper examines why Hanaoka’s work was not significantly influential outside of Japan, while the later American discoveries achieved global prominence despite being four decades later. Additionally, historical context behind both stories is included. Reasons for this disparity include Japan’s isolationist policy at the time (sakoku) and differences in 19th century Western and Japanese approaches to medical education and research.

Published: September 2022

Com o aumento progressivo do envelhecimento da população, doenças que ameaçam a continuidade da vida entram no cenário atual trazendo a necessidade de maiores discussões sobre cuidados paliativos, entendimento sobre o processo de morte e morrer, e questões de cunho emocional e espiritual por parte dos futuros profissionais, que precisarão desenvolver habilidades além das técnicas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar qual o entendimento dos acadêmicos de medicina sobre cuidados paliativos, em relação a conceitos, condutas, humanização de atendimento e atuação interdisciplinar. Resultados: O levantamento dos dados mostrou que grande parte dos acadêmicos entende a atuação dos cuidados paliativos, contudo, ainda é possível perceber lacunas em relação a segurança e preparação para lidar com a morte e o morrer. Conclusão: Foi possível concluir com a pesquisa que apesar de conscientes sobre o tema, o assunto ainda é desafiador e exige uma maior abordagem dentro da graduação, voltada principalmente para a integração de conteúdos teóricos e práticos.

The aim and scope of the Journal of Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies (JACANZS) is to publish articles in various disciplines (history, politics, literature, law, anthropology, and Indigenous studies) on one or more of the following countries: Australia, Canada, and Aotearoa New Zealand, with a core focus on articles that are comparative in their geographic remit, for example Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, or Australia and Canada. The creation of the journal responds to a lack of journals that collectively publish across the fields of Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand studies from multi and interdisciplinary perspectives. It also followed the creation of the Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand Studies Network (ACNZSN) to reflect the work and membership of the network.
Palatal Anterior Teeth Retraction Assisted by Temporary Anchorage Devices - A Review
Authors: M. Soni Deepak
Published: September 2022

Successful orthodontic resolution of bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion depends on successful retraction of anterior dentition, which also involves acquiring proper buccolingual inclination and vertical position of anterior teeth. To fulfill these requirements, clinicians have devised numerous biomechanical and surgical orthodontic options. A palatal retractor for retraction of maxillary anterior dentition is the result of clinician’s long-time creative endeavors and an evolution of the biomechanical design. A palatal retractor splints the maxillary anterior dentition on the lingual side with bonded mesh plates connected by a supporting wire. Two long palatally extended arms are soldered to the supporting wire where adequate retraction force can be applied. Palatal retractors have several advantages over conventional bracket/wire systems. The two most prominent ones are biomechanical superiority and esthetic invisibility. As the palatal retractor is positioned on the lingual surface of the maxillary anterior dentition, it is not visible from the frontal view and since the anterior dentition retraction constitutes a significant portion of the total treatment time in extraction orthodontic treatment, it is a distinct esthetic advantage. Biomechanical disadvantage of the conventional bracket/wire system lies in its innate ineffectiveness of the torque and vertical control because of the long distance between the point of force application and the center of resistance of the anterior dentition. A combination of TADs and palatal retractors provides the possibility of maximizing control of both the torque and vertical position. This article aims to describe clinical considerations, applications, and results of palatal retractor use in clinical cases.

Published: September 2022

Background: Globally gestational diabetes remains one most common medical problem facing a significant proportion of women in pregnancy. Understanding safe therapeutic and management measures is imperative to inform effective and sound decision and judgment for clinicians and concerned groups.
Aim: This review aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of Metformin versus Glyburide in managing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Methods: Cochrane Library, PUBMED, MEDLINE and LILACs were subjected to literature search for randomized controlled trials addressing the primary aim of this study. The Key used for the search strategy was: “Metformin”, “Glyburide”, ‘Gestational Diabetes” and other varying terms from Medical subject Headings. The review systematized a PRISMA Checklist and demonstrated Meta analyzed studies mathematically on weight gain after using glyburide and metformin during and after pregnancy, fasting blood glucose, birthweight and postprandial blood glucose.
Results: Neonatal hypoglycaemia, mode of delivery, birth weight, Apgar score, weight during and after pregnancy, postprandial blood glucose and requirement for intensive care were all assessed in the study. In 60% of the studies safety and efficacy of glyburide and metformin diabetes management showed no significant difference. From postprandial blood glucose (P=0.217), birth weight (p=0.194), and fasting blood glucose (p=0.821) revealed no statistical differences between the medications in the meta analysis conducted. However, on the other hand, weight growth during pregnancy among patients revealed significant variations (p=0.036).
Conclusion: Both metformin and glyburide showed no differences in safety and efficacy considering birth weight, fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose. However, in babies of women treated with metformin, problems associated with neonates such as respiratory issues and hypoglycemia and also increase in weight during pregnancy or gestation are more less common and lower.
