The fall after the hatching: Evolution and engagement of Greta Thunberg’s frame on Twitter
Authors: Díaz-Pérez Sílvia , Soler-i-Martí Roger , Figueras-Maz Mònica
Published: October 2023

Greta Thunberg pushed forward a new collective action frame for the climate movement with the necessary resonance to mobilize millions of people. However, the coronavirus outbreak forced Thunberg to adjust her strategy in an abrupt way, and the resonance of the activist’s frame decreased after achieving its peak in 2019. How has Thunberg’s frame evolved before, during and after the pandemic? Can we attribute the loss of resonance to a failed frame adaptation? This article studies the composition and resonance of the Swedish activist’s frame on Twitter between August 2018 and December 2022, making use of a methodological design that combines qualitative and quantitative methods to analyse 61 public interventions and 1692 tweets. The results show that, despite adapting successfully to the pandemic, the loss of the core elements of the original frame provoked a misalignment between her framing strategy and her storytelling, which reduced Thunberg’s ability to provide resonance.
Personas trans, ¿sujetos activos y/o pasivos de femicidio?
Authors: Gonzalo Mora Emanuel
Published: October 2023

En el artículo, se abordará la problemática que tiene la posibilidad de considerar, como sujeto activo y/o pasivo de femicidio (art. 80 inc. 11 del CP), a las personas transgénero, para lo cual se realiza una interpretación que concuerde con la ley de identidad de género sancionada en Argentina. Mi conclusión será que, acudiendo a la ley citada a términos vivenciales y subjetivos, prescindiendo de la biología, las personas transgénero pueden ser consideradas como sujetos activo y/o pasivo en el delito de femicidio, máxime cuando al ser legislado el art. 80 inc. 11 del Código Penal, que tipifica dicho ilícito, la ley de identidad de género ya regía en Argentina, por lo que “hombre” y “mujer” ya no pueden ser definidos en términos biológicos.

Association of Jewish Libraries Biographical Directory
Authors: Association of Jewish Libraries
Published: October 2023

The 1991 AJL Directory is not available because it includes personal information and was supposed to be shared among the association members only at the time. The text of the original Interlocution is provided here in lieu of the full directory.

As the originally designated editor of what was to have been a 25th Anniversary Volume, Herbert C. Zafren conceived of the Association of Jewish Libraries' Biographical Directory as part of the volume because he felt that it would increase the reference value of the work and provide valuable information for writing the actual history of the Association. In 1988, Zafren designed the questionnaire and had the form mailed to the then current membership. As names of former AJL members were submitted, questionnaires were sent to them as well; there was no way to systematically contact all former members. Even after many responses had been received, there was still a sense that members who might wish to be included had not yet been reached. Therefore, in October 1990, Dr. Ralph Simon prepared a second mailing to the membership. This second mailing resulted in the receipt of several hundred additional forms, many of which were updated versions of information submitted from the first mailing. As the completed forms were received, they were edited, and later updated, by Marcia Posner, who sent the data to Laurel Wolfson, who compiled the entries and input the data into a computerized database. The total number of entries in the directory is 429, while the current membership of AJL stands at 1,048; the latter figure includes 74 institutional members. In sum, this Biographical Directory includes current and former AJL members who received and responded to the questionnaire.
The Effectiveness of Treating Anxiety With Reiki
Authors: Humphreys Erika , Cabrera Emily , Downey Luhrmann Susan
Published: October 2023

The effectiveness of treating anxiety with Reiki is explored within ten quantitative studies. Methodology utilized for a critical appraisal and systematic review of the literature is explained with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Theoretical framework for the project is grounded in the work of Hildegard Peplau, whose nursing theory based on the therapeutic use of self is foundational for Reiki implementation. A thorough critique of the literature is conducted for key components of robustness and believability. This critique is conducted using a structured guide addressing synthesized strengths and weaknesses of the body of literature. A synthesis of the literature explores the findings of the studies. This synthesis reports on Reiki’s effectiveness in treating anxiety within a variety of patient settings and populations, its effect on subscales of anxiety, physiological manifestations of anxiety and pain associated with anxiety. Cultural considerations effecting Reiki’s potential effectiveness are discussed. Gaps in the literature are examined, including the studies’ narrow sample population, lack of participant exclusionary factors for controlled outcome data, and the lack of studies across time. Implications for future research are discussed with recommendations for expanded research that includes a broader variety of settings, age groups, and patient diagnoses, including anxiety disorders, for research data that is transferable. Implications for further practice for the advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) are explored, with the potential benefits for both providers and patients, including improved patient satisfaction and expansion of provider treatment modalities.
Motywy faustyczne w twórczości Czesława Miłosza
Authors: Ćwiklak Kornelia
Published: October 2023

The article discusses the references to Faust by Johann Wolfgang Goethe present in the works of Czesław Miłosz. They appear in his poems, as well as in essays and non-literary texts, e.g. interviews. The references to Goethe in Miłosz’s work are also of interest, especially included in autobiographical statements. The article attempts to indicate certain regularities concerning the occurrence of intertextual references to Goethe’s tragedy, related to the poet’s worldview, his aesthetic choices and biographical context. The considerations included in the article lead to the conclusion that the hero of the tragedy symbolises the content which, after World War II, made it possible to name and understand the processes that led to the catastrophe of war and the rejection of humanity. Faust can be a tool for self-characterisation or an accusation against German culture and the cult of science and progress, leading to the alienation of the individual.
„Poezje są jak świątyń barwne szyby!”
Authors: Pastwa Rafał Jakub
Published: October 2023

The readers of Rozalia Wojkiewicz’s book W spektrum Wyspiańskiego. Witraż w poezji Młodej Polski (In Wyspiański’s spectrum. Stained glass windows in Young Poland Poetry) are presented with a unique study of Stanisław Wyspiański, his work, his journey along the trail of “barbaric” cathedrals, his passion and aspirations, the spirit of the era and, above all, an analysis of stained glass – a special type of text reflected not only in poetry and one which grew out of man’s aspirations to understand what is hidden, created, fragile and at the same time incomprehensible. The analysis conducted by Rozalia Wojkiewicz serves as a gradual, planned entry into the world of the Young Poland stained glass collection, explains the reasons for the interest in the subject, and presents the valuable state of research on it and the method of its observation.
The increase in the proportion of impervious surfaces and changes in air temperature, relative humidity, and cloud cover in Poland
Authors: Bartoszek Krzysztof , Łachowski Wojciech , Matuszko Dorota
Published: October 2023

The aim of the study is to characterise the changes in the proportion of impervious surfaces (ISs) in Poland and their impact on changes in temperature, air humidity, and cloud cover. The results of satellite image classification from 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020, as well as meteorological data from the period 1981–2020 for the warm half of the year, were used. An analysis was performed making it possible to compare the changes in the proportion of ISs in 3 decades, i.e. 1991–2000, 2001–2010 and 2011–2020. In Poland, in the years 1991–2020, the total area of ISs increased by approxi- mately 30%. At the same time, statistically significant positive trends in maximum temperature are visible throughout Poland, ranging from 0.48°C per 10 years to >0.90°C per 10 years. Trends in the magnitude of low-level cloud cover are negative throughout Poland and range from −2.7% to −2.3% per 10 years. The frequency of stratiform clouds is decreasing, while that of mid-level Cirrus and Cumulus clouds is increasing. The results show a relationship between the increase in ISs in Polish cities and changes in meteorological elements in their area and in the immediate vicinity, which were most pronounced in the first decade of the 21st century.
Patterns in the multiannual course of growing season in Central Europe since the end of the 19th century
Authors: Szyga-Pluta Katarzyna , Tomczyk Arkadiusz M. , Piotrowicz Katarzyna , Bednorz Ewa
Published: October 2023

The research identified patterns in the multiannual course of start and end dates, and length of growing sea- son (GS) in Central Europe since the end of the 19th century in selected cities of Central Europe in the period 1893–2020. GS start in the analysed stations was characterised by high year-to-year variability, particularly in those located more southwards, i.e. in Prague and Vienna. A smaller variability occurred in GS end dates. The GS was subject to prolon- gation, although these changes in particular cities were uneven and had different causes. In Toruń and Potsdam, its increase was caused by a greater shift of the end date, and in the remaining stations, it was determined by its earlier start date. Two subperiods were distinguished that differ in terms of intensity of changes of the start and end dates, as well as the length of the GS. The intensification was observed recently.
Monocyte distribution width as an early predictor of short-term outcome in adult patients with sepsis
Authors: Liu Yin , Wang Ruizhi , Zhong Shihua , Qian Liu , Wang Dong
Published: October 2023

Objectives

Monocyte distribution width (MDW) is a quantitative measurement of monocyte anisocytosis and has been proposed as an efficient marker for early sepsis detection. This study aimed to assess the prognostic potential of MDW in septic patients.

Methods

In this study, a total of 252 adult septic patients were enrolled. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory finding including MDW and traditional inflammatory biomarkers detected at three time points (day 1, day 3 and day 6) after admission were collected and compared between 28-day survivors and non-survivors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox regression analyses were performed to assess and compare their predictive values. Group-based trajectory modeling was applied to identify MDW trajectory endotypes. Basic characteristics and 28-day outcomes were compared between the trajectories.

Results

ROC curve analysis showed that MDW levels measured on day 3 after admission (D3-MDW) had moderate prognostic value and was independently associated with 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis. A D3-MDW value of 26.20 allowed discrimination between survivors and non-survivors with a sensitivity of 77.8 % and a specificity of 67.6 %. However, the prognostic accuracy of D3-MDW was diminished in immune-compromised patients and patients who already received antibiotics before admission. Group-based trajectory modeling indicated that excessively elevated and delayed decreased MDW levels during the first week after admission inversely correlated with prognosis.

Conclusions

MDW values detected on day 3 after admission and its kinetic change might be potential markers for predicting short-term outcome in adult septic patients.

Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), a promising energy storage device in the large-scale energy storage market, have attracted extensive attention in recent years due to their high safety, low cost, environmental friendliness, and excellent electrochemical performance. Despite the rapid development of AZIBs technology, challenges such as insufficient energy density and limited cycling life still exist, which hinders the practical application of AZIBs. Due to the critical role that cathode materials play in the electrochemical performance of AZIBs, it is necessary to summarize the progress of cathode materials for AZIBs. In this review, the Zn2+ storage mechanisms of the cathode materials are analyzed. Subsequently, the representative cathode materials are introduced, and their structures and electrochemical performances are compared. The existing problems and improvement strategies of these cathode materials are summarized in detail. Finally, the future challenges and promising prospects for cathode materials are proposed. This review will guide researchers and manufacturers, benefiting them in designing advanced AZIBs for grid-scale energy storage.
Eutric Cambisols – Slovenia’s best agricultural soils
Authors: Grčman Helena , Turniški Rok , Suhadolc Marjetka
Published: October 2023

This paper presents the main characteristics of Eutric Cambisols, their productivity potential expressed as land-rating, and their spatial distribution in Slovenia. Differences in soil properties were evaluated among the six predominant groups of Eutric Cambisols; classification was based on the parent material. In addition to individual characteristics affecting soil quality (texture, soil depth, amount of plant available water, pH, base saturation, cation exchange capacity), a comparison of land-rating values between the groups was also performed. We analysed 200 profiles excavated as part of the Slovenian Soil Mapping or other soil surveys conducted by the Center for Soil and Environmental Sciences, Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana. Our results show that Eutric Cambisols cover 15.5% of the area of Slovenia. Most Eutric Cambisols are on flysch (19.3%, 600 km²), followed by Eutric Cambisols on marl (12.7%, 398 km²). Eutric Cambisols on sandy gravel alluvial sediments, an important soil for crop production, cover 295 km² (9.4%). They have a favourable loamy texture and optimal pH. The flat terrain also contributes to this soil’s highest average weighted land-rating value (70 points). The average weighted land-rating value of all Eutric Cambisols is higher than the average weighted land-rating value of all agricultural and forest land in Slovenia, which is 36 points; this must be considered in spatial planning, as this type of land has a small share and above all, it must be protected from various degradations.

Published: October 2023

Although hyperandrogenism is a frequent cause of consultation in adolescent girls, more severe forms with virilization must lead to suspicion of an adrenal or ovarian tumor. However, they may also reveal a 46,XY disorder of sexual development (DSD). Here, we describe four adolescent girls referred for pubertal virilization and in whom we diagnosed a 46,XY DSD. We performed gene mutation screening by Sanger sequencing (all patients) and by next-generation sequencing (NGS) in patient #4. We identified new heterozygous NR5A1 gene variants in patients #1 and #2 and a homozygous SRD5A2 gene deletion in patient #3. Patient #4 received a diagnosis of complete androgen insensitivity in childhood; however, due the unusual pubertal virilization, we completed the gene analysis by NGS that revealed two heterozygous HSD17B3 variants. This work underlines the importance of considering the hypothesis of 46,XY DSD in adolescent girls with unexplained virilization at puberty.

W roli babć i dziadków
Authors: Zwoliński Andrzej
Published: October 2023

Taking on the role of grandfather and grandmother is associated with the fact of having children and reaching a certain senior age. Contemporary grandmother and grandfather play many different social roles, including family ones. Often this role is to support parents of grandchildren— sometimes they discreetly and with understan-ding complement the process of caring for and raising a child of a new generation of the family. It may be that grandparents act as a problematic in the family — becau-se of their age, illness or disability — and require the care of other family members themselves. Sometimes this role of grandparents is reduced to the role of a person isolating themselves from children and family — grandparents live their own lives and their own affairs. They do not try to maintain contact with their loved ones.
Duchowość współczesnych teściów w kontekście przemian społecznych
Authors: Mastalski Janusz
Published: October 2023

The anti-family nature of contemporary civilization takes various manifestations, the common denominator of which is the misunderstanding of the social roles that a person has to take up throughout his life, which must generate a crisis of the identity of people and communities, including this basic community, which is the family. In this context, an attempt’ was made to indicate that being a father-in-law and mother--in-law is a specific vocation that God gives man and woman. The attributes of the in-laws’ spirituality were also defined, which allow for the rediscovery of the meaning of life at the next stage, and for integrating human activities leading to perfection.
Travel and Anxiety in Early Jewish Literature
Authors: Uusimäki Elisa
Published: October 2023

While some early Jewish texts highlight opportunities enabled by travel, others reflect related concerns, suggesting that an encounter with the unknown moves people not only physically but also emotionally. This article addresses the latter phenomenon by investigating the blend of travel and anxiety in a selection of passages from Jubilees, Tobit, Aramaic Levi Document, and Philo of Alexandria. Drawing on affect theory, it argues that travel-related anxiety is best understood as an inclusive affect covering both explicit and more unspoken or fuzzy forms of anxiety, which can be either acute or chronic in nature. Seeking to map out a range of ancient responses to or strategies of managing apprehensions, I demonstrate that the selected sources reflect both emotional and ethical concerns. The authors of narrative texts invite their audiences to immerse themselves in “historical” events and to share the emotionally taxing aspect of relocations undertaken by ancestral figures in the past, while the authors of instructional texts address current experiences arising from their own communities: they mitigate possible worries related to encountering competing claims of wisdom on the move and instruct against trips driven by a greedy pursuit of luxurious goods.
Selected Dysfunctions of Statehood during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Critical Conclusions for Today
Authors:   Vistula University (Poland), Konarski Wawrzyniec
Published: October 2023

The Polish State, with due regard to the time constraints on its continuity, is perceived from the perspective of more than a thousand years. Simultaneously, as an organised entity with its own values, it has been a mental problem for Poles since the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries and is continued until now. Thus, the reflections here have been restricted to the mentioned period because it is then that the main drawbacks of the Polish State began to occur. They include a description of these major flaws as we understand them and their effects. We often express the belief that our state disappeared from the map of Europe mainly due to the actions of our aggressive and finally partitioning neighbours. However, in doing so, we distance ourselves from the mistakes in managing the state made by the generations of our ancestors. This article analyses and exemplifies a deeper, critical academic reflection on these errors committed internally during the mentioned period and visible until today.
The Wagner Group as a Tool of Russian Hybrid Warfare
Authors:   Koszalin University of Technology (Poland), Górka Marek
Published: October 2023

Unrest, conflicts, and wars in various parts of the world have created huge political and business opportunities for private military companies. They can gather intelligence, provide security for rich and powerful political actors, and provide mercenaries to interest groups worldwide. Private Russian military forces with close ties to President Vladimir Putin are used in war zones and continue expanding their presence in many regions worldwide. The Wagner Group is the most famous Russian mercenary unit. It gained notoriety mainly by supporting Russian forces in the conflict in Ukraine in 2014. At that time, it also provided one of the services that the authorities in the Kremlin particularly appreciate in their actions, and that is the lack of attribution for conducting armed conflicts, thanks to which mercenaries play the role of separatist fighters. Since then, the organisation has been deployed in many countries, including Syria, Libya, Mali, the Central African Republic, Sudan, and Venezuela, always to covertly support representatives of regimes favoured by Putin. Like all other mercenary units in Russia, the Wagner Group does not officially exist, because Russian law does not allow mercenary activities. The article has two main objectives: first, to present an analysis of the activities of the Wagner Group, using the currently available information; second, to prove that the concept of hybrid warfare could best explain the Kremlin’s use of Russian mercenaries.
Antioxidative and Antibacterial Hydro-Ethanolic Fraction from an Asian Edible Mushroom Lentinus sajor-caju (Agaricomycetes) Suppresses Inflammatory Responses by Downregulating COX-2 and iNOS Expression
Authors: Naskar Arghya , Dasgupta Adhiraj , Basak Gouri , Acharya Krishnendu
Published: October 2023

Mushrooms are prevalently important sources of pharmaceutically active metabolites. Various mushroom species belonging to the Lentinus genus are recognized for their nutritional and therapeutic properties. One such species is L. sajor-caju, which is renowned in Southeast Asian nations for its culinary value. The primary goal of this study is to investigate the potential medicinal properties of L. sajor-caju, specifically its antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects. A hydroethanolic extract was formulated using dried basidiocarps, which exhibited a high phenolic content of approximately 14% and a flavonoid content of approximately 2.7%. The extract demonstrated significant antioxidant potential in in vitro reactions. The extract is sufficiently capable of scavenging free radicals (DPPH and ABTS) and chelate Fe2+ with EC50 values spanning from 186 to 390 μg/mL. In addition, considerable antimicrobial activity against tested pathogenic microorganisms was observed, as indicated by low MIC50 values (256-358 μg/mL). Moreover, the fraction was found to prevent heat-induced protein denaturation which signifies its anti-inflammatory potential. When tested on the RAW 264.7 cell line, reduction in the nitrite production, and downregulation of COX-2 and iNOS mRNA expression was observed which are the key regulator of inflammatory signalling systems. The study, therefore, recommends the use of L. sajor-caju in the medical and pharmaceutical industries for the benefit of humanity.
Volumetric and viscometric studies of binary mixtures of methanol and some alkyl acetates at varying temperatures
Authors: Ekezie C , Cookey G , Maduelosi J
Published: October 2023

The degree of molecular interactions between mixed solvent molecules and thus ideal behavior results from the molecular architecture and chemical nature of component solvents. This understanding is essential in the design and applications of both pure and mixed solvent systems. Density and viscosity measurements of pure and binary mixtures of methanol and n-methyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, and n-pentyl acetate were carried out at different compositions of methanol and temperatures of 25, 30, 35, 40 °C. The experimental data obtained were correlated to the Redlich-Kister equation from where the excess functions; excess molar volumes, excess viscosities, excess Gibbs free energies of activation for viscous flow, fitting coefficients and standard deviations were obtained. The viscosity values were correlated with Hind et al, Kendral and Monroe, Grunberg and Nissan and Frenkel semi empirical models to ascertain the best fit for the systems. The results obtained have been discussed in terms of the structural differences and nature of the interactions between molecules of the mixed solvents.

Published: October 2023

Los juegos de azar han adquirido una presencia notable en las redes sociales, destacando especialmente en Twitch, una plataforma de transmisión en vivo muy popular entre la generación joven. Los streamers establecen vínculos a largo plazo con sus audiencias, creando comunidades participativas que refuerzan el sentimiento de pertenencia grupal. El propósito de esta investigación es analizar la reacción que causa en la audiencia de los creadores de contenido cuando se promueven juegos de azar. Se lleva a cabo una triangulación metodológica que incluye la observación etnográfica, el análisis de sentimiento y el análisis de contenido a partir de los chats de 12 emisiones, cada una con una duración promedio de 4 horas. Se evalúa el grado de compromiso de la audiencia social en función de las estrategias de promoción empleadas por los creadores. Los resultados revelan que, a pesar de las restricciones impuestas por Twitch, los streamers recurren a diversas tácticas, que van desde la recomendación de juegos de azar hasta la oferta de incentivos especiales para que los espectadores se unan. Esto fomenta el consumo y crea un vínculo con el usuario, quien, al participar en la conversación, se ve predispuesto a imitar las conductas que observa.

Authors: López-Silva Maiquel , Carmenates-Hernández Dayma Sadami , Delgado-Hernández Nancy , Chunga-Bereche Nataly
Published: October 2023

The Colebrook equation has been used to estimate the friction factor (f) in turbulent fluids. In this regard, many equations have been proposed to eliminate the iterative process of the Colebrook equation. The goal of this article was to perform an evaluation, classification, and proposal of the friction factor for better development of hydraulic projects. In this study, Gene Expression Programming (GEP), Newton-Raphson, and Python algorithms were applied. The accuracy and model selection were performed with the Maximum Relative Error (∆f/f), Percentage Standard Deviation (PSD), Model Selection Criterion (MSC), and Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). Of the 30 equations evaluated, the Vatankhah equation was the most accurate and simplest to obtain the friction factor with a classification of very high, reaching a value of ∆f/f<0.5% and 1.5<PSD<1.6. A new equation was formulated to obtain the explicit f with fast convergence and accuracy. It was concluded that the combination of GEP, error theory, and selection criteria provides a more reliable and strengthened model.

Published: October 2023

The academic specialization of neuro-ophthalmology combines the sciences of neurology and ophthalmology and frequently deals with complicated systemic disorders that appear in the visual system. Initially completing a residency in either neurology or ophthalmology, neuro-ophthalmologists then pursue a fellowship in a related specialty. A thorough medical history and physical examination are required and neuro-ophthalmologists frequently spend a lot of time with their patients because diagnostic tests can be normal in individuals with substantial neuro-ophthalmic disease1. Common pathology referred to a neuro-ophthalmologist includes afferent visual system disorders (e.g. optic neuritis, optic neuropathy, papilledema, brain tumors or strokes) and efferent visual system disorders (e.g. anisocoria, diplopia, ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, nystagmus, and blepharospas, seizures of the eye or eye muscles, and hemifacial spasm). The North American Neuro-Ophthalmological Society (NANOS) 2, which hosts an annual congress and disseminates the Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology, is the biggest worldwide organization of neuro-ophthalmologists. Large university-based medical centers frequently employ neuro-ophthalmologists as faculty members. The neuro-ophthalmologist frequently serves as a liaison between the ophthalmology department and other departments at the medical Centre since patients frequently have co-existing disorders in other domains (rheumatology, endocrinology, cancer, cardiology, etc.)3. In Ayurveda concept of patala is very much required to understand the diseases of neuro ophthalmology. When vitiated dosha reaches at particular patala then particular symptom is seen. According to Susruta when vitiated doshas reaches in 1st, 2nd and 3rd patala it is known as Timir, vitiated doshas reaches in 3rd patala and ragata prapti occurs (pigmentation) it is known as Kacha. Vitiated doshas reaches in 4th patala it is known as Linganasha.According to Vagbhata, vitiated doshas reaches in 1st, 2nd patala it is known as Timir. vitiated doshas reaches in 2rd patala and ragata prapti occurs (pigmentation) it is known as Kacha vitiated doshas reaches in 4th patala it is known as Linganasha4. In this Review article we try to find out the co relation between different diseases in neuro ophthalmology and different Dristi gata roga.

Published: October 2023

In recent years plant disease detection and classification is finding a lot of scope in the field of agriculture. The use of image pre-processing along with deep learning techniques is making the role of farmers easy in the process of plant leaf disease detection. In this paper we propose a deep learning technique, ResNet-50 for the identification and classification of leaf diseases mainly in banana and sunflower. Images for the training and testing purpose are collected by visiting the farms and from village dataset for normal, leaf spot, leaf blight, powdery mildew, bunchy top, sigatoka, panama wilt. Pre-processing is done to remove eliminate the noise in the image by converting the RGB input to HSV image. Binary pictures are retrieved to separate the diseased and unaffected portions based on the hue and saturation components. A clustering method is utilized to separate the diseased region from the normal portion and the background. Classification of the disease is carried out using ResNet-50 algorithm. The experimental results obtained are compared with CNN, machine learning algorithms like SVM, KNN, DT and Ensemble algorithm like RF and XG booster. The proposed algorithm provided maximum efficiency compared to other algorithms.
Raw Meat and Antibiotic Resistance: A Comprehensive Study on Prevalence of Pathogens in Food Animals
Authors: Kalapriya Banala , Muninathan Natarajan , Baskaran Kuppusamy , Suresh Arumugam
Published: October 2023

This review examines the use of antimicrobial agents in food animals and their impact on human health, particularly the emergence and spread of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). While antimicrobial agents are commonly used in food animal production to prevent and treat bacterial infections, overuse has been linked to AMR. Various strategies to reduce antimicrobial use in food animals, including vaccines, improved animal husbandry practices, and alternative therapies, are discussed. However, the review acknowledges the limitations of these strategies, such as cost-effectiveness and potential unintended consequences. Information on the percentage of antimicrobial use and resistance in food animals is provided for different classes of antibiotics. The percentages of use and resistance vary among these classes, with tetracyclines having the highest percentage of use and erythromycin and tylosin having the highest percentage of resistance. The review cites studies on the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in food animals, including Escherichia coli isolates from broiler chickens in the UK and Egypt. The review highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to reducing antimicrobial use in food animals and controlling the spread of AMR, including implementing more effective regulatory policies, promoting responsible use of antimicrobial agents, and developing alternative therapies and management practices.

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is an eye disease associated with chronic diabetes. DR is the leading cause of blindness among working aged adults around the world and estimated it may affect more than 93 million people. Progression to vision impairment can be slowed or controlled if DR is detected in time, however this can be difficult as the disease often shows few symptoms until it is too late to provide effective treatment. Currently, detecting DR is a time-consuming and manual process, which requires an ophthalmologist or trained clinician to examine and evaluate digital color fundus photographs of the retina, to identify DR by the presence of lesions associated with the vascular abnormalities caused by the disease. The automated method of DR screening will speed up the detection and decision-making process, which will help to control or manage DR progression. This paper presents an automated classification system, in which it analyzes fundus images with varying illumination and fields of view and generates a severity grade for diabetic retinopathy (DR) using machine learning models such as CNN, VGG-16 and VGG-19.This system achieves 80% sensitivity, 82% accuracy, 82% specificity, and 0.904 AUC for classifying images into 5 categories ranging from 0 to 4, where 0 is no DR and 4 is proliferative DR.

A medical cyber–physical system (MCPS) is a unique cyber–physical system (CPS), which combines embedded software control devices, networking capabilities, and complex physiological dynamics of patients in the modern medical field. In the process of communication, device, and information system interaction of MCPS, medical cyber–physical data are generated digitally, stored electronically, and accessed remotely by medical staff or patients. With the advent of the era of medical big data, a large amount of medical cyber–physical data is collected, and its sharing provides great value for diagnosis, pathological analysis, epidemic tracking, pharmaceutical, insurance, and so on. This overview will present MCPS’s architectures and frameworks from different perspectives, modeling and verification methods, identification and sign sensing technologies, key communications’ technologies, data storage and analysis technologies, monitoring systems, data security and privacy protection technologies, and key research perspectives and directions. We can have a com- prehensive understanding of the important characteristics and technical route of MCPS, and grasp its research status and progress.
Clinical manifestations and mechanisms of formation of neurological disorders in patients with vibration disease
Authors: Vorobieva Victoria V. , Levchenkova Olga S.
Published: October 2023

The review presents an analysis of literature sources devoted to the study of changes in the nervous system in patients with vibration disease. Vibration-mediated cellular hypoxia, which occurs as a result of spastic changes in blood vessels, phase fluctuations in intravascular pressure, impaired blood and lymph outflow, causes suppression of energy metabolism, contributes to disorders at the level of receptor (glutamate, GABA-ergic, dopamine and cholinergic) and synaptic structures, conductors of pain and temperature sensitivity (demyelinization), analyzing neurons in the parietal region of the brain, regulatory proteins of the nervous tissue (NF-200, GFAP S-100). A low-amplitude, irregular, disorganized and sometimes deformed EEG spectrum with a predominance of the alpha wave and a shift of the alpha rhythm to the left reflects changes in the spontaneous electrical activity of brain structures in patients. With an increase in the experience dose of vibration-noise exposure, the dominant alpha activity changes to slow-wave or polyrhythmic. Mild and moderate diffuse changes in the brain become focal in nature, cortical-subcortical relationships are disrupted at the diencephalic level, creating a pathophysiological basis for sensorineural (sensory-neural) hearing loss, especially in patients with a genetic predisposition mediated by genes encoding proteins of the heat shock system. The psycho-emotional status of patients is characterized by a hypochondriacal focus on the state of health, mental disadaptation, psycho-emotional disorders in the form of anxiety, depressive mood. The analysis of literature sources on the mechanisms of the formation of neurological disorders in patients with vibration disease revealed the lack of data on the state of the multicomponent ghrelin system interacting with GHSR-1A and GHSR-1B receptors, which determines a new vector in further experimental and clinical studies.

Tourism environmental carrying capacity, a term born out of the booming development of the tourist industry and a basis for determining whether tourism activities negatively impact the environment, comes under the spotlight in the field of tourism research To preserve the exploitation of tourism resources in the Yellow River estuary, re-frame tourism structure and protect the environment, this paper dissected the current development and utilization of wetland tourism resources in the region and the corresponding resource advantages in virtue of SWOT and assessed the local ecotourism environmental carrying capacity by applying the evaluation model of ecotourism environmental carrying capacity. Years between 2017 and 2021 reported overweighted human social and economic activities in the Yellow River Estuary, proving the assessment outcomes. From 2017 to 2019, it dropped from 0.83 to 0.61, and then slowly and stabilized at this level. Fluctuations were found in the ecological and environmental assimilative capacity. The pollution-accepting capacity, between 2017 and 2018, increased from 1.3 to 1.8, dropped to some 0.61 from 2018 to 2019, and then rose to 1.35 by 2021. Judging from the economic growth in the area, these indicators were constantly rising. It follows that given ensuring ecological security, efforts should be doubled in studying the development of ecotourism in the Yellow River Estuary under the guidance of sustainable development theory, thereby carrying out tourism activities in phases and planned manner.
