ACUTE TOXICITY PROFILE OF CONCURRENT CHEMORADIATION IN CARCINOMA CERVIX WITH THE INTEGRATION OF BRACHYTHERAPY DURING EXTERNAL BEAM RADIATION THERAPY
Authors: Kandipalli Shilpa , Santhosh Vandanasetti
Published: July 2022

Background: Concurrent chemoradiation with weekly cisplatin is the treatment of choice in a case of
carcinoma cervix. Prolonging treatment time is detrimental to disease control. When brachytherapy is
scheduled during external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), treatment time can be shortened signicantly thereby improving
local control. As the delivery of radiation with brachytherapy is uniform and spares normal tissues it reduces the acute
toxicities. In this study, we aimed to study the acute toxicities associated with this unique scheduling of brachytherapy along
with EBRT. Fifty patients with carcinoma cervix between stage IIA to IIIB treated at our institution with chemo-Methods:

Published: July 2022

Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is a complex iatrogenic pathology occurring in 1:1,800 to 1:2,200 of all pregnancies. It is
associated with high maternal morbidity and mortality; therefore, early diagnosis and effective management are of utmost
signicance. Symptoms include amenorrhea, pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding in the rst trimester. The investigation of choice is transvaginal
ultrasound. In equivocal cases, magnetic resonance imaging can help in conrming the diagnosis. Treatment modalities are dictated by the case
presentation, gestational age and size, type of implantation, hemodynamic stability, and patient's desire for future fertility. We report a rarest case
of caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy managed by conservative surgical approach after failed medical management

Published: July 2022

Background Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee joint being one of the leading causes of musculoskeletal disability, has also
shown increased prevalence in the Indian population. It has been observed that with careful patient selection arthroscopic
debridement can provide good symptomatic relief. In the recent years, autologous platelet-rich plasma has emerged as a better treatment option.
We propose that combining these two procedures together will give better results in some cases of early OA. To determine theObjectives
efcacy and functional outcome of arthroscopic debridement along with intra-articular inltration of autologous platelet rich plasma in early OA
knee. To assess the safety of usage of intra-articular inltration of platelet rich plasma in early OA knee. Materials and methods
A prospective study conducted for a period of 24 months among 55 patients with early osteoarthritis at SSIMS & RC hospital, Davanagere,
Karnataka. Under aseptic precautions, arthroscopic debridement of knee was done, after debridement 4 ml platelet concentrate was injected into
knee joint. The pain assessment was done by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and the course of disease and effectiveness of therapy was assessed
by measurement of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), before procedure and at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6
months after procedure. Osteoarthritis of knee joint was affected on both sides in about 41.8%. The mean VAS score at baseline was 6.54Results
±0.719. The mean WOMAC score at baseline was 71.07 ±3.826. On comparing the mean baseline with the variation in each follow up, we found
statistically signicant relation, suggesting that there was improvement in the condition of the participants. Conclusion
The study found that arthroscopic debridement with intra-articular inltration of platelet rich plasma in early osteoarthritis knee signicantly
reduced the pain, as the mean values of VAS score decreased drastically, and also improved the condition of the participants.

Authors: Kanwar Manjit Singh , Guleria Aryan , Ahluwalia Bhawna , Singha Dheeraj , K. Arya Virendra
Published: July 2022

Background: Choice of an appropriate analgesic regimen is especially important in ESRD patients. Regional analgesia
technique such as epidural with local anaesthetic drugs has been found suitable in such patients. This study was designed
to compare a high-volume/low-concentration with low-volume/high concentration ropivacaine regimen in ESRD transplant patients.
Materials And Methods: This prospective, open level randomized control study was conducted on 40 end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients,
aged between 20- 60 years of either sex who underwent live-related renal transplant surgery.GROUP A Low volume/High concentration group
received 6 ml of 0.75% ropivacaine and GROUP B High volume/Low concentration group received 12 ml of 0.375% ropivacaine.Total dose of
ropivacaine needed for postoperative pain control and for achieving T6 to S5 sensory block, Level of motor blockade and Dose of vasopressors
needed for haemodynamic stability was compared.
Results: Total dose of ropivacaine required to achieve T6 to S5 sensory block and total dose of vasopressor used was higher in low volume high
concentration group at initiation of block. Postoperative quality of analgesia as assessed by VAS score and top up requirements (total dose of
postoperative ropivacaine used) was comparable in both the groups.
Conclusion: We conclude no added advantage of using low volume high concentration ropivacaine drug regimen in renal transplant recipients in
terms of quality of analgesia and haemodynamic stability.
THE GENUS MACROBRACHIUM (CRUSTACEA, CARIDEA, PALAEMONIDAE): A TAXONOMIC SYNOPSIS FROM THE CRADLE OF EVOLUTION IN AFRICA TO ASIA AND THE AMERICAS.
Authors: B SOKEFUN Olusola , B GULWE Ashish
Published: July 2022

The genus Macrobrachium like all other decapod groups is very speciose. This make its systematic fairly cumbersome
especially because the major morphological organ used in the classication is dependent on the ambient environment and
also very plastic. The congruence therefore between classication based on morphology and molecular markers is an essential new process for
deducing valid systematics of members of the group. The 16S rRNA mitochondrial gene is perhaps the most frequently used molecular marker
for the systematics of the group. For this research work, we sequenced the three major Macrobrachium species found in Nigeria, namely the
Macrobrachium vollenhovenii, Macrobrachium dux and Macrobrachium macrobrahion and used the obtained sequences to mine other
sequences that were 95% similar to our sequences to deduce the phylogenetic afnities in fourty four species of Macrobrachium species found in
four continents namely Africa, Asia, North and South America. There was conict between morphological and molecular systematics in the
Nigerian species as consistently the Macrobrachium dux and Macrobrachion macrobrachion were grouped together making them at best
ecotypes of the same species. Very high afnities also existed between the Asian species as they grouped together consistently using three
different methods of phylogenetic inference (maximum likelihood, minimum evolution and maximum parsimony). The African species also
mapped closely with the north American species consistently. One very clear conclusion is that the genetic divergence between the grouping is
small, evidence that the genus is just evolving. Further research need to include more African species as there is a dearth of sequences from
African species in the Genebank.
A REVIEW PAPER ON THE AXIAL BEHAVIOUR OF CONCRETE FILLED STEEL TUBES CONTAINING HIGH VOLUME WASTE TYRE RUBBER CONCRETE.
Authors: Kumar Kamal , Saif Almas , Kumar Ayush , Jain Sanyam
Published: July 2022

One of the solution to reduce tire waste is by incorporating rubber as ne aggregate replacement, producing a rubberized
concrete. This type of concrete generally has lower compressive strength, however, could potentially be used as structural
application due to its inherent ductility. Crumb rubber concrete, in which a portion of the mineral aggregates in concrete is replaced by the waste
tire rubber, has attracted great research attention as a sustainable building material. It is a promising solution to the over-exploitation of river sand
and the recycling of waste tire rubber. However, the concrete strength decreases signicantly when crumb rubbers were used to replace the ne
mineral aggregates. A reliable strength reduction model for the crumb rubber concrete with ordinary strength is essential for its practical use in
engineering structures. With different volume replacement ratios of rubber ne aggregate and thicknesses of steel tube, 12 rubberized concrete-
lled steel tube (RuCFST) columns were fabricated. Then axial compressive tests were completed. The test results show that RuCFST columns
exhibit lower axial compressive capacity and higher ductility than normal CFST columns. The steel tube of the RuCFST with a high rubber
replacement ratio is more prone to local buckling and the axial load-displacement curves of RuCFST columns tends to exhibit hardening post-
peak response. Based on the experimental results, the relationship between the critical value of the connement coefcient and the rubber
replacement ratio of RuCFST columns was obtained.
Flexible Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization Clustering with Game Theory to Address Human Activity Discovery Fully Unsupervised
Authors: Hadikhani Parham , Lai Daphne Teck Ching , Ong Wee-Hong
Published: July 2022

Most research in human activity recognition is supervised, while non-supervised approaches are not completely unsupervised. In this paper, we provide a novel flexible multi-objective particle swarm optimization (PSO) clustering method based on game theory (FMOPG) to discover human activities fully unsupervised. Unlike conventional clustering methods that estimate the number of clusters and are very time-consuming and inaccurate, an incremental technique is introduced which makes the proposed method flexible in dealing with the number of clusters. Using this technique, clusters that have a better connectedness and good separation from other clusters are gradually selected. To improve the convergence speed of PSO in achieving the best solution and dealing with non spherical shape clusters, updating of particles' velocity is modified using the concept of mean-shift vector. To solve multi-objective optimization problems, Nash equilibrium in game theory is used to select the optimal solution on the pareto front. Gaussian mutation is also employed on the pareto front to generate diverse solutions and create a balance between exploitation and exploration. The proposed method is compared with state-of-the-art methods on seven challenging datasets. FMOPG has improved clustering accuracy by 3.65% compared to other automated methods. Moreover, the incremental technique has improved the clustering time by 71.18%.

Published: July 2022

The digital transformation is characterized by the convergence of technologies — from the Internet of Things (IoT) to Edge-Fog-Cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Blockchain — in multiple dimensions blurring the lines between the physical and digital worlds. Although these innovations have evolved independently over time, they are increasingly becoming more intertwined, driving the development of new business models. With more adaptation, embracement, and development, we are witnessing a steady convergence and fusion of these technologies resulting in an unprecedented paradigm shift that is expected to disrupt and reshape the next generation systems in vertical domains in a way that the capabilities of the technologies are aligned in the best possible way to complement each other. Despite the fact that the convergence of the four technologies can potentially tackle the main shortcomings of existing systems, its adoption is still in its infancy phase, suffering from several issues, such as the absence of consensus towards any reference models or best practices. This paper provides a comprehensive insight into the fusions of these paradigms by discussing a blend of topics addressing all the importation aspects from design to deployment. We will begin this paper by providing an in-depth discussion on the main requirements, state-of-the-art reference architectures, applications, and challenges. Following this, we will present a reference architecture and a case study on privacy-preserving stress monitoring and management to better elaborate on the corresponding details and considerations.
Total Rejection Sampling and the Reduction of the Wave Function
Authors: kermiche noureddine
Published: July 2022

 We propose an exact new sampling algorithm using classical statistical theory. The algorithm is powered by white noise and non-local information. The proposed method will process an infinite number of rejected samples in parallel before accepting one exact single sample from a target distribution using an optimization mechanism. The algorithm is applied to sampling from general distributions in addition to sampling from the wave function density distribution which lies at the heart of the measurement problem in quantum physics. 
Applying approximate computing principles for real-time rolling shake hyper-stabilization during video recording
Authors: Singh Ritesh , Singh Kalgesh , Ansari Amir
Published: July 2022

The problem of video stabilization is essentially a composition of three problems: Determining the magnitude and direction of movement of the camera; Differentiating intentional camera motion from unwanted camera shake; Estimating the magnitude and direction of the unwanted camera shake and correcting for it. The principles of approximate computing present a beautiful solution to these problems. It enables real-time stabilization, even hyper-stabilization (near absolute stabilization) of camera rolling shake. In this short paper, we discuss the technical details of this concept and how approximate computing philosophy is an integral part of its design and implementation. We also look at its shortcomings and some powerful improvements to mitigate them by again applying the principles of approximate computing.

Authors: Zahid Khan  , Seema Sharafat  , Farooq Azam  , Haidar Suleman
Published: July 2022

Objective:  The overtop decompression is also called the outside-in technique or bilateral decompression from the unilateral approach. The objective of the study was to evaluate the success and complications of microsurgical over-top decompression for single-level lumbar spine stenosis.
Material and Methods:  This observational study was conducted at the Neurosurgery unit at Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar from Jan 2018 to December 2021. All those patients who had undergone over-top decompression for single-level degenerative lumbar spine stenosis irrespective of age and gender were included in our study.
Results:  We had a total of 187 patients who underwent microscopic over-top decompression for lumbar spine stenosis. Four patients lost their final follow-up. The mean age of the patients was 46 years (ranging from 18 – 68 years). Spinal stenosis was more common in men (58.3%) and at L4/5 (51.87%) level. The mean duration of surgery was 56 minutes (range 35-86 minutes). Leg pain improved in 83.1% of the cases with overall patient satisfaction after surgery in 82.5% of the cases. The most common (6.95%) complication of the procedure was iatrogenic durotomy. Most of the complications were minor and treated conservatively.
Conclusions:  Overtop decompression is a safe and effective minimally invasive procedure for lumbar spine stenosis. It has good results in symptomatic improvement. There is minimal soft tissue and bony dissection. Therefore, mobility and stability of the spine are preserved. Moreover, the learning curve for microscopic overtop decompression is shallow and surgery time is short.

La investigación educativa en los contextos escolares: hacia un estado de la cuestión
Authors: Cuineme Rodríguez Mónica
Published: July 2022

El presente artículo propone, mediante una metodología hermenéutica, el análisis de un muestreo de fuentes de los últimos veinte años acerca de la investigación en los contextos escolares, que da cuenta, en principio, de dos líneas principales: por una parte, los estudios que hacen alusión desde diferentes posturas al papel del docente investigador; y, en segundo lugar, las distinciones acerca de la validez de la investigación en el ámbito escolar y universitario. A partir de la revisión de estos textos, resultado de investigaciones, se hace evidente la permanencia de una crisis de sentido sobre el carácter disciplinar de la pedagogía y la instalación de su rol como campo interdisciplinar que alberga fricciones referidas a la validez de los discursos, actores y lugares de producción de la investigación educativa como parte de una ciencia global que termina afectando, desde las relaciones con el conocimiento, hasta las condiciones de vida profesional de quienes ejercen el oficio de la docencia en la educación inicial, básica y media.

Published: July 2022

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sensory property and shelf life of the processed mpedli beer using aqueous leaves extract of Vernonia amygdalina (VA) and heat treatment. The white sorghum beer was made at the laboratory scale using home-made procedure (Control). Following filtration, the beer was blended with an aqueous leaf extract (1/10, v/v) of VA (BUB). Pasteurization (60 °C/30 min) was performed on a portion of the VA blended sample (BPB). The sensory parameters and shelf life of the three samples were evaluated at room temperature during a month storage. The sensory characteristics of blended and non-supplemented mpedli beer differed significantly (p < 0.05). During storage, the colour, bitterness, aroma, odour, viscosity, texture, and overall acceptability of the processed samples were improved. Bitterness (r = 0.898; p < 0.01) and odour (r = 0.930; p < 0.01) were both highly correlated with the acceptance of the processed beer. The non-supplemented samples had the highest sensory scores 48 hours after preparation, while the relevant sensory ratings in processed BUB and BPB samples were recorded from the 12th to the 21st and 27th day of storage, respectively. The findings suggest that combining pasteurization with addition of aqueous leaf extract of VA may help smallscale brewers for improving the sensory quality and extending the shelf life of mpedli. According to the findings, the use of bitter leaf could be proposed as an alternative hop in the local brewing industry and may increase incomes of producers of local sorghum beer.

La viabilidad del autoconsumo energético por medio de placas solares en los servicios del agua en España
Authors: García Marcos , Montano Borja , Molgarejo Joaquín
Published: July 2022

El consumo energético es uno de los principales componentes del gasto financiero en la provisión de los servicios del agua. Este deriva, en gran medida, del suministro tradicional a través de la compra de energía a las empresas suministradoras, lo que lleva asociada una determinada contaminación. Esto justifica una persecución constante del desarrollo de fuentes alternativas de energía con un menor impacto ambiental y, si es posible, con un menor coste financiero. Afortunadamente, en los últimos años se han dado constantes mejoras en la tecnología de las placas solares, por lo que su viabilidad ya no depende exclusivamente de sus beneficios ambientales o de subvenciones públicas, sino, que es una alternativa que puede ser viable económicamente en determinados casos. En concreto, en algunas regiones con una elevada escasez de recursos hídricos existe un importante desarrollo de las fuentes no convencionales, las cuales consumen una cantidad importante de energía, por lo que este trabajo estudia la posibilidad de sustituir parte de esa energía por autoconsumo a partir de placas solares fotovoltaicas. En términos generales, esta posibilidad se muestra viable desde el punto de vista financiero cuando el consumo energético es reducido, pues el ahorro que surge del autoconsumo año tras año permite compensar la importante inversión inicial que debe realizarse. No obstante, los menores precios unitarios cuando el consumo es elevado dificultan que las instalaciones de placas solares de elevado tamaño sean rentables en términos financieros.
Powers of Hamilton Cycles of High Discrepancy are Unavoidable
Authors: Bradač Domagoj
Published: July 2022

The Pósa-Seymour conjecture asserts that every graph on n vertices with minimum degree at least (1−1/(r +1))n contains the r-th power of a Hamilton cycle. Komlós, Sárközy and Szemerédi famously proved the conjecture for large n. The notion of discrepancy appears in many areas of mathematics, including graph theory. In this setting, a graph G is given along with a 2-coloring of its edges. One is then asked to find in G a copy of a given subgraph with a large discrepancy, i.e., with significantly more than half of its edges in one color. For r > 2, we determine the minimum degree threshold needed to find the r-th power of a Hamilton cycle of large discrepancy, answering a question posed by Balogh, Csaba, Pluhár and Treglown. Notably, for r > 3, this threshold approximately matches the minimum degree requirement of the Pósa-Seymour conjecture.
Plethysms of Chromatic and Tutte Symmetric Functions
Authors: Crew Logan , Spirkl Sophie
Published: July 2022

Plethysm is a fundamental operation in symmetric function theory, derived directly from its connection with representation theory. However, it does not admit a simple combinatorial interpretation, and finding coefficients of Schur function plethysms is a major open question.

In this paper, we introduce a graph-theoretic interpretation for any plethysm based on the chromatic symmetric function. We use this interpretation to give simple proofs of new and previously known plethystic identities, as well as chromatic symmetric function identities.
Schmidt von Werneuchens Lob des Landlebens. : Spiegelungen bei Goethe, Fontane und Günter de Bruyn
Authors: Barz Christiane
Published: July 2022

Abstract Zu Lebzeiten des Dichterpfarrers Schmidt von Werneuchen befassen sich Autoren ersten Ranges kritisch mit seinen schlichten ländlichen Idyllen. In der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts stellt Fontane seine Verdienste um die poetische Nobilitierung der Mark Brandenburg
heraus. Bis in das Jahr 2017 schreibt Günter de Bruyn diese literarische Lektüre fort und hält so die Erinnerung an einen Außenseiter der romantischen Landsehnsucht in Brandenburg wach. Die Bedeutung der Rezeptionsgeschichte überwiegt mithin die von Schmidts Werken.

ANALISIS PENYEBAB DEADSTOCK SPARE PART PADA PT. X
Authors: Atmaja Imanuel Rio
Published: July 2022

Abstrak: Penumpukan spare part di gudang persediaan Pabrik Tuban PT. X. sebagai aset perusahaan tidak terpakai (deadstock), tersimpan selama bertahun-tahun merupakan permasalahan yang apabila tidak segera dikurangi akan membuat dampak negatif bagi perusahaan dari segi pemanfaatan lahan (tempat) dan munculnya biaya yang tidak memberikan nilai tambah. Penulis menggunakan metode diagram sebab-akibat atau sering disebut fishbone diagram analysis untuk menemukan akar penyebab deadstock dan hasil dari metode identifikasi tersebut ter-capture beberapa akar permasalahan pengadaan spare part perusahaan sebagai pemicu membengkaknya aset deadstock. Setelah mengetahui bahwa rendahnya koordinasi sebagai penyebab besar terjadinya deadstock, penulis merekomendasikan metode CPFR, metode kolaborasi yang biasanya digunakan antara produsen dengan vendor atau supplier agar diterapkan pada PT. X.  Dengan penerapan metode CPFR di internal pengadaan PT. X ini diharapkan mampu mengurangi kemungkinan semakin bertambahnya deadstock perusahaan, melalui langkah-langkah kolaborasi planning (perencanaan), forecasting (peramalan) kebutuhan spare part, dan replenishment (penambahan).

 

Kata Kunci: Deadstock Spare parts, Inventory, Fishbone Diagram, CPFR

 

Accumulation of spare parts in the Tuban Factory inventory warehouse PT. X. as a company unused asset (deadstock), stored for years is a problem which if not immediately reduced will create a negative impact on the company in terms of land use (place) and the emergence of costs that do not provide added value. The author uses the cause-effect diagram method or often called fishbone diagram analysis to find the root causes of deadstock and the results of the identification method are captured by some of the root problems of the procurement of company spare parts as a trigger for swelling of deadstock assets. After knowing that the low coordination as a major cause of deadstock, the authors recommend the CPFR method, a collaborative method that is usually used between producers and vendors or suppliers to be applied to PT. X. By applying the CPFR method in the internal procurement of PT. X is expected to reduce the possibility of increasing company deadstock, through the steps of collaborative planning (planning), forecasting (forecasting) the need for spare parts, and replenishment (addition).
