Authors: Kumar Upendra , Dhanalakshmi D , Kumar G. Sravan , Deepan V.
Published: February 2024

Background:

Many studies have compared the efficacy of Gene Xpert (cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test [CBNAAT]) and line probe assay (LPA) techniques; however, a systematic and meticulous comparison of these two techniques is lacking.

Objective:

To study the accuracy of GeneXpert Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)/rifampicin (RIF) assay and LPA in the detection of MTB complex in smear-positive retreatment cases of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).

Materials and Methods:

This diagnostic evaluation study was conducted on 300 retreatment cases of pulmonary TB. The patients who were receiving retreatment were identified by sputum for acid fast Bacilli by Ziehl–Neelsen staining method and were instructed to provide sputum samples for CBNAAT and LPA. These sputum samples were then processed for liquid culture as part of the routine diagnostic procedure.

Results:

Majority of the patients (52.3%) were of 31–45 years of age. Males (56%) were more than females (44%). Most of the cases were relapse (88%). Ninety-three percent were reactive on sputum culture. Seventy percent had RIF resistance on CBNAAT. Isoniazid and RIF resistance was seen in 69.7% on LPA. 23.3% were sensitive on LPA and 7% had isoniazid resistance. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive for CBNAAT as compared with LPA were 75%, 100%, 100%, and 22.2%, respectively.

Conclusion:

Both LPA and CBNAAT are equally effective in detecting MTB in the given sputum sample. However, LPA is preferred over can be very helpful as it can point out the Isoniazid (INH) and Rifampicin (RIF) resistant nature of the bacterium.
A comparative clinical study between laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy versus nondescent vaginal hysterectomy in benign pathological conditions
Authors: Prasanna Naveen , Menshi Apoorva , Mahadevappa Kavita
Published: February 2024

Background:

The need of hour is an ideal hysterectomy surgery which has shorter operative time and shorter duration of hospital stay, early resumption to work, avoidance of disfiguring scar on abdomen, and less postoperative morbidities. Nondescent vaginal hysterectomy (NDVH) and laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) are both minimally invasive surgeries with more benefits than total abdominal hysterectomy.

Objective:

To compare NDVH and LAVH in terms of operating time for surgery, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative, and postoperative complications.

Materials and Methods:

A hospital-based prospective comparative study was carried out among 50 cases requiring hysterectomy. Detailed history was collected and thorough examination was conducted in 25 women who underwent LAVH and 25 women who underwent NDVH as per the standard operating guidelines. Parameters such as blood loss, duration of surgery, duration of hospital stay, intraoperative and postoperative complications, pain score, and time taken for ambulation were compared in the two groups.

Results:

Both the groups were comparable in terms of age, body mass index, comorbidities present, size of the uterus, past history of surgery, and diagnosis (P > 0.01). Both the groups were comparable for intraoperative or postoperative complications (P > 0.01). The mean blood loss, time taken for ambulation, pain score, and duration of hospital stay were significantly lesser (P < 0.01) in the LAVH group compared to the NDVH group even though the duration of surgery was significantly (P < 0.01) more in this group.

Conclusion:

We conclude that LAVH has more advantages over NDVH and should be incorporated in selected patients requiring hysterectomy.
Empirical Evaluation of Coding and Inter Pixel Redundancy in still Image Compression
Authors: S Anitha , J Kavitha
Published: February 2024

The main aim of this research work is to compress grayscale images efficiently using prediction and intensity-based image compression algorithms. Image compression is useful for removing the duplication in an image to store and transmit the data in an efficient form. This research work analyzes four new schemes for gray scale lossy image compression. Among the four schemes considered, two compressive approaches are designed for Prediction Based Image Compression (PBIC) level implementation. Third approach is designed for Intensity Based Image Compression (IBIC). Finally, the previously designed PBIC and IBIC schemes lead to an Integrated Encoder. All the considered method performances are analyzed using the performance metrics. These results are compared with JPEG 2000 which is a extensively used benchmark compression encoder. The outcome of all the proposed methods is also compared with modern encoders.
Bogoliubov-type recursions for renormalisation in regularity structures
Authors: Bruned Yvain , Ebrahimi-Fard Kurusch
Published: February 2024

Hairer's regularity structures transformed the theory of singular
stochastic partial differential equations and their solutions.
The notions of positive and negative renormalisation are central
and the intricate interplay between these two renormalisation
procedures is captured through the combination of cointeracting
bialgebras and an algebraic Birkhoff-type decomposition of
bialgebra morphisms. This work revisits the latter by defining
Bogoliubov-type recursions similar to Connes and Kreimer's
formulation of BPHZ renormalisation. We then apply our approach
to the renormalisation problem for SPDEs.

Predicting the process of hydrogen emission from the turbogenerator housing with the formation of flammable hydrogen-air mixtures and flare combustion

The operation of turbogenerators of nuclear and thermal power plants is accompanied by the release of heat, which contributes to the heating of generator components and can lead to an emergency situation (fire). Since As turbogenerators operate for long periods of time, the process of continuous cooling of generator equipment plays an important role, as its overheating can lead to emergency chain reactions, fires, explosions, etc. Analysis of statistical data on the occurrence of emergency situations (fires) related to hydrogen leaks from process equipment indicates insufficient operational qualifications of operational personnel, poor quality of equipment repair, errors of repair personnel and their violation of technical requirements for repairing equipment and their systems, design defects in equipment and systems that ensure its operation. It has been established that the causes of emergency situations are: hydrogen leakage due to leaks in equipment, spontaneous ignition of hydrogen, the presence of air space in turbogenerator equipment, violation of technological regulations, contamination of hydrogen with moisture and pollution, unhermetization of the generator body. Modeling of the hydrogen combustion process during its release from the casing of a turbine-generator was carried out using the example of a power plant engine room. The study showed that the longest hydrogen combustion time will occur when hydrogen is released through holes with geometric size d0 in the range of 0.05--0.1 m (50--100 mm). At larger values of the geometric size of the hole d0 > 0.1 m, the hydrogen burning time is insignificant, and at values of d0 < 0.005 m, the length of the flame burner L does not exceed 1.15 m. The results of the study confirm that hydrogen flame torch combustion can occur as a result of turbogenerator failure. The calculations established the need for fire protection of the supporting metal structures of the engine room to ensure a fire resistance limit of at least 45 minutes under the hydrocarbon curve.
Környezeti szempontok és a természetművészet, land art, ökoművészet műfajok jelenléte a vizuáliskultúratanár-képzésben
Authors: Egervári Júlia , Mészáros Tímea
Published: February 2024

A környezeti nevelés erőfeszítései mindannyiunk számára kiemelten fontosak, mert már nem egyszerűen környezetvédelemről beszélünk. Míg a nemzetközi gyakorlatban egyre nagyobb hangsúllyal jelennek meg ökológiai szemléletű projektek a művészetoktatás területén, nálunk a szakirodalom és a gyakorlati megvalósításuk sem feltárt. Ahogy az iskolai környezeti nevelés által, úgy a vizuális nevelésen keresztül is fejleszteni kell az értékítéletet, az érzelmeket, a közösséghez kötődést, az igényt az egész életen át tartó tanulásra. Ehhez azonban szükséges a pedagógiai kultúra megújítása. Ehhez kapcsolódva úgy gondoljuk, hogy a környezeti szempontok, új műfajok, szemléletmódok és módszerek megjelenése a vizuális nevelésben a vizuáliskultúratanár-képzés milyenségétől, a művészképzéstől és az oktatók nézeteitől is függ. Pilot kérdőíves felmérésünkben arra kerestük a választ, hogy a környezeti szempontok, a hozzá kapcsolódó műfajok és szemléletmódok, módszerek megjelennek-e a vizuáliskultúratanár-képzésben, a művészképzésben. Képet kaptunk arról, hogy az egyetemi, főiskolai oktatók hogyan viszonyulnak ezekhez a témakörökhöz, milyen keretek adottak hozzá, és esetlegesen milyen tapasztalataik vannak az alkalmazhatóság terén.

Published: February 2024

Kutatásunkban félig strukturált interjút készítettünk olyan középiskolai magyartanárokkal, akik Nógrád és Heves megyében tanítanak (N = 12). A legfőbb célunk az volt, hogy képet kapjunk a tanulásszervezésre, a műértelmezésre, a kortárs irodalomra és a tanyanyag-elrendezésre vonatkozó pedagógiai nézetekről, a pályaválasztási motivációkról, a pályakezdés nehézségeiről, illetve a korábbi magyartanároknak a nézetek formálódására hatást gyakorló szerepéről. Vizsgálatunk egy kiterjedtebb empirikus kutatás része volt, az interjúk előtt fogalomtérképeket készítettünk a vizsgálati csoportba bevont pedagógusokkal. A kvalitatív adatok kiértékelése által kapott eredményeket felhasználva pedig kérdőívet szerkesztettünk, amelyet az egész ország területéről töltöttek ki magyartanárok (N = 254).
A távoktatás módszertani tapasztalatai járvány idején az Eszterházy Károly Katolikus Egyetemen
Authors: Antal Péter
Published: February 2024

A hagyományostól eltérő tudásközvetítés szerepe világszerte megnőtt. Ez egyrészt a meglévő kompetenciák minőségi és tartalmi változásának köszönhető, másrészt a hagyományos oktatás tartalmi és strukturális rugalmatlanságából fakad. Annak ellenére, hogy a technika által támogatott tudásátadás néhány előnye kézenfekvőnek tűnhet, a távoktatás alkalmazásának mindenhol vannak korlátai. Az Eszterházy Károly Egyetemen 2010 óta használjuk a MOODLE távoktatási keretrendszert több-kevesebb sikerrel. Egy EFOP-pályázat keretein belül létrejött egy kutatócsoport, melynek feladata az interaktív, online kurzusokhoz kapcsolódóan a tanulási eredmények monitorozását lehetővé tévő eszközök, alkalmazások kísérleti beépítése, illetve újak kifejlesztése. Ennek egyik része az a vizsgálat, amely a felhasználók elégedettségét (tanár, diák) és kompetenciáját méri. A koronavírus-járvány okozta hirtelen változások nyilvánvalóvá tették, hogy mind a diákok, mind a tanárok, egyetemi oktatók jó része nem készült fel a digitális oktatás kihívásaira, sem módszertani, sem technikai szempontból. Cikkemben ennek a felmérésnek az eredményeiről szeretnék beszámolni.
Tanulásban akadályozott tanulók fenntarthatóságra nevelése a kerettanterv tükrében
Authors: Hegedűs Roland
Published: February 2024

A természettudományos tantárgyak oktatása a tanulásban akadályozott tanulóknál is kiemelten fontos, aminek bizonyos mértékig az órakeretei is adottak. A természettudományos tantárgyak egyik fontos feladata a fenntarthatóságra és környezet-/ természetvédelemre nevelés, amire a kerettanterv is lehetőséget biztosít már 3. osztálytól, mert a 2020-as Nemzeti alaptantervtől (NAT, 5/2020. [I. 31.] Korm. rendelet) kezdve a gyermekek első és második osztályban nem tanulnak semmilyen természettudományos tárgyat. Tanulmányunkban azt tűztük ki célul, hogy megvizsgáljuk, mely témakörökben és milyen osztályfokon kerülnek elő fenntarthatósággal kapcsolatos tartalmak, valamint ezeknek a témáknak milyen lehetőségei vannak a kibontakozásra. A tanulásban akadályozott tanulók sajátosságaihoz igazodva a kerettanterv nagyobb hangsúlyt helyez az ismeretek gyakorlat által történő elsajátítására, ami miatt az intézményi adottságok nagymértékben befolyásolják a tantárgy tanítási lehetőségeit. Gondolhatunk itt arra, hogy mennyire áll rendelkezésre gyakorlókert, különböző kísérleti eszközök, modellek, vagy milyen az intézmény anyagi helyzete, mert egy állatkerti látogatás, erdei iskola is fejlesztő hatású a gyermek környezethez való hozzáállására, de komoly anyagi vonzata van.

Az 1997-ben indult Less Nándor Emléktúrán eddig 25000 fő vett részt. Bár a teljesítménytúrák a szabadidősportról szólnak, mi azonban a kezdetektől kiegészítettük terepi ismeretterjesztéssel. Egy évtized után, németországi minta alapján szerveztük meg a rendezvényen belül az első Geotóp Napot, amely kifejezetten a környezeti nevelést, a földtudományi értékek megismertetését tűzte ki célul. Kidolgoztunk egy olyan rendszert, amellyel az iskolás – és más érdeklődő – célközönségnek meg tudjuk mutatni terepen a földtudományi értékeket, meg tudjuk valósítani a szemléletformálást. Jelen tanulmányban azt követjük nyomon, hogyan változott e program az évek során, a résztvevők és szervezők milyen véleményeket fogalmaztak meg vele kapcsolatban. Ehhez szervezői interjúkat és kérdőíves felmérést készítettünk. Az eredményeket kiértékelve képet kaphatunk a geoturisztikai ismeretterjesztés egyik típusáról, vizsgálatunk tapasztalataiból a hasonló rendezvények is profitálhatnak.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF PUBLIC UNIVERISTIES IN KENYA
Authors: Kinyanjui Rose , Theuri Joseph
Published: February 2024

The proposed study was to explore the relationship between income generating Activities and financial performance of public universities in Kenya. Higher education in Kenya has been recognized as a critical tool in transforming the society. The Government spends a lot of funds on education in relation to the national budget. However, despite the continued increase in government investment in higher education; resources are never adequate to match the everincreasing enrolment rates. In connection to this, several public Universities have mobilized their scarce resources to establish IGAs in order to supplement the government expenditure on education. Specific objective of this study was to examine the contribution of academic based IGAs, roles of service Based IGAs, and how production based IGAs influence the financial performance of public Universities in Kenya. A broad study was done with regards to the various theories that explain the relationship that really exist between income generating activities and their financial performance, where the resource dependency theory is seen as a conceptual tool where it argues that no organization is completely self-contained, agency theory on the other hand was also considered as an important tool since it shows, the relationship that exist between two parties, where one party is been referred as principal and the other one agent. It was observed that, most of the IGAs conducted in public Universities in Kenya include Academic Based IGAs: well known of these programs are module II programs, service Based IGAs dealing with services like restaurants, cyber cafes, production Based IGAs was also put in place in this study, also as source of income to the Universities. A descriptive approach in this project was used to explain the relationship between the variables of the study as shown in the conceptual framework, where questionnaires were used to analyze whether their existed a relationship between IGAs and Financial performance in Public Universities.
Stakeholders’ Perceptions on EFL Teacher Professionalism: A Phenomenological Study at a Bachelor Programme in Nepal
Authors: Neupane Nabaraj
Published: February 2024

Teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) in the twenty-first century has witnessed several changes, which have sparked tremendous changes in the teachers’ standpoints and the conceptualizations of professionalism. In this context, this study explored the stakeholders’ perceptions of EFL teacher professionalism. For this, the phenomenological research design was adopted. The study site was a Bachelor's Programme on a community campus in Nepal. The informants comprised the real stakeholders of the programme that comprised three EFL teachers, nine students, two administrators, and one member of the campus management committee. To collect the informants’ lived experiences, the researcher used an unstructured interview in a naturalistic setting. The results revealed that EFL teachers’ professionalism can be measured by their roles and skills; teacher-student relationships; and teachers as administrators and change agents. This implies that EFL teachers, like the teachers of other subjects, should be loyal, committed, accountable, and responsible as the success or failure of the autonomous programmes mainly depends on the teachers.

Authors: Hidayat Medhy Aginta , Mutmainnah Mutmainnah
Published: February 2024

This study examines the strategy for the revitalization of the Asta Tinggi religious tourism area by utilizing the cultural identity and creative industries in Madura, Indonesia. More specifically, the revitalization strategy considers the active-collaborative involvement of the stakeholders. This study used a qualitative approach, with a phenomenological method. The primary data were obtained through field observations and in-depth interviews. Secondary data were obtained through literature references, news media, scientific documentation, pictures, and photos. This study found that the best model for the revitalization strategy of the Asta Tinggi religious tourism area must involve the Sumenep Palace family, the Asta Tinggi management unit, the private sectors, local communities, and local governments. The role of the Sumenep Palace family and the management of Asta Tinggi is very important because they have the rights and authority to manage the Asta Tinggi. The revitalization of this religious tourism area should be pursued by prioritizing the cultural identity of Madurese and the potential of digital-based creative industries. With this revitalization strategy model, it is hoped that the Asta Tinggi can be developed as a leading religious tourism destination in Madura, Indonesia.

ESCOLA PRIMÁRIA E A FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES NO PERÍODO REPUBLICANO (1900-1930): UM ESTUDO COM BASE NOS IMPRESSOS MARANHENSES
Authors: TAVARES DE MORAIS RACHEL , DOS SANTOS MARIA JOSE
Published: February 2024

Este artigo tem como objeto a formação de professores da educação primária na capital do Maranhão no período de 1900-1930. No início da República a defesa pela instrução pública no Maranhão não diverge do sistema nacional quando apresenta como uma das principais bandeira a expansão do ensino primário, contudo as dificuldades financeiras e acordos políticos, não permitem a ampliação do atendimento escolar. Nesse contexto, a ênfase no estabelecimento de diretrizes do sistema educacional, devido ao novo olhar para a escola, contribui para o surgimento de ações formativas direcionadas ao professorado. Na exploração dos sentidos em torno do interesse sobre a expansão do ensino primário neste período, emerge a necessidade de capturar os marcadores simbólicos na construção e defesa de uma política educacional para os professores na capital do Maranhão (1900- 1930). Dessa forma, partimos do pressuposto de que a constituição de espaços de formação para professores ocorreu por um processo social determinado por fases marcadas por oposições e tensões entre grupos sociais, que se ocupavam do campo do saber pedagógico. Ao analisar como ocorreu este processo de difusão de ideias sobre a necessidade formativa dos professores, a partir das publicações de periódicos tais como O Diário de São Luís, Pacotilha, O Jornal, Diário do Maranhão, entre outros, esperamos apreender os significantes em torno das medidas formativas e práticas educativas desenvolvidas na capital maranhense. Entendemos que nesse percurso, importa identificar as representações geradas pelos agentes sociais, assim como compreender o processo de envolvimento na produção de conhecimento sobre o fazer educacional com base nas propostas pedagógicas vigentes no período estudado. Desta forma, consideramos contribuir para a ressignificação de sentidos sobre a história da educação e da prática docente no campo educacional do Maranhão republicano.

Objetivamos com esta investigação identificar e analisar as principais finalidades e configurações dos perfis projetados aos profissionais formados em diferentes ciclos históricos do Curso de Pedagogia da Universidade Federal do Pará. Será que as finalidades e perfis profissionais que modelaram historicamente o currículo do Curso de Pedagogia da Universidade Federal do Pará, influenciaram as práticas didático-pedagógicas dos docentes, de modo a promover, nas disciplinas ministradas, o ensino mediado pela pesquisa e a produção de conhecimento? Utilizamos fontes bibliográficas de autores que analisaram a história do Curso de Pedagogia, bem como documentais, com destaque para leis, decreto-lei, resoluções, considerando-se o período de 1939 a 2022. A partir da trajetória histórica do Curso de Pedagogia, ficou demonstrado que tanto a regulamentação quanto o processo de sua autorização para funcionamento, sofrem ingerências do Governo Federal, cujo poder de decisão interfere na definição dos fundamentos e da forma de organização curricular, nas finalidades almejadas para essa formação, assim como na definição do perfil profissional dos acadêmicos que concluem os cursos. No entanto, a pesquisa e a produção do conhecimento, a pesar de legalmente instituídas, inicialmente, eram atividades sorrateiras praticadas por um seleto grupo de professores catedráticos e alunos graduados interessados na obtenção do título de doutorado, cenário esse que no contexto atual foi parcialmente modificado, uma vez que há professores qualificados com os níveis de mestrado e doutorado, promovendo o ensino, a pesquisa, orientando trabalhos de conclusão de curso, mas são poucos os envolvidos com orientação de monografias, dissertações, teses, iniciação científica, e menor ainda a parcela dos docentes que desenvolvem experiências de produção de conhecimento mediante o incentivo da escrita de artigos científicos e memoriais como parte das atividades curriculares integrantes das disciplinas ministradas no âmbito do ensino de graduação.

The in vitro antibacterial activity of a multiherbal combination used traditionally in Aden for topical treatment of Furuncles
Authors: Al-Asbahi Nadia Hassan , Alasbahi Rawiya Hassan
Published: February 2024

Different amounts of the aqueous and methanolic extracts of Lepidium sativum seeds and Flemingia grahamiana glandular hairs of the pods as well as of their combination (multiherbal combination), that is used traditionally in Aden for topical treatment of furuncles, were tested for their antibacterial activity, by using a modified agar diffusion assay against Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC 29737),which is the most common bacteria causing furuncles. The aqueous extracts of Lepidium sativum seeds were found to possess antibacterial activity, while those of Flemingia grahamiana and multiherbal combination were found inactive. The ineffectiveness of the aqueous multiherbal combination may be due to a possible antagonistic interaction between its two components. The methanolic extracts only of Flemingia grahamiana and the multiherbal combination demonstrated moderately antibacterial activity. This result indicated that methanol is better than water in extracting the antibacterial active principles from Flemingia grahamiana that are responsible for the moderate antibacterial activity of the multiherbal combination against S. aureus.
A general class of generating functions of biorthogonal polynomials
Authors: Qashash Gamal Ali
Published: February 2024

In this paper we have obtained a new and known general class of bilateral and bilinear generating functions involving modified Konhauser biorthogonal \(Y_s^α (x;k)\), modified Bessel \(Y_s^n (u)\) and Laguerre polynomials \(L_n^α (x)\) by group theoretic method. As in particular cases we have obtained bilinear and unilateral generating functions. Consequently we recover the result of Rainville, Srivastava Manocha and McBride [25, 29, 23] and notice that the result of Das and Chatterjea [13] is the particular case of our result.

Published: February 2024

In an increasingly interconnected and ethically conscious world, the integration of diplomatic management and theological ethics into supply chains emerges as a transformative framework that redefines business practices. This paper explores the intricate intersections of these disciplines and their profound implications for ethical supply chain management. The convergence of diplomatic negotiation strategies with theological principles results in a visionary approach that addresses the moral complexities of supply chains while fostering collaborative relationships, responsible practices, and lasting positive impacts. The paper first delves into the fundamentals of diplomatic management and its relevance to ethical supply chains. It examines how negotiation techniques grounded in mutual respect, compromise, and dialogue can transcend traditional transactional models, paving the way for equitable collaborations that encompass cultural diversity and shared value creation. The integration of theological ethics further enriches this approach, embedding moral imperatives into negotiations and emphasizing values such as justice, compassion, and stewardship. Building upon this foundation, the paper explores the practical applications of diplomatic management and theological ethics in supply chain management. It delves into case studies that exemplify how these principles can guide decision-making, strengthen partnerships, and navigate ethical challenges in complex global supply networks. Moreover, the paper underscores the potential benefits of this integrated framework, such as enhanced reputation, increased consumer loyalty, and the promotion of international cooperation. The paper also envisions the future landscape shaped by ethical supply chains guided by diplomatic management and theological ethics. It underscores the significance of this approach in reshaping industries, influencing consumer behavior, and cultivating a global culture that values responsible practices. Additionally, the paper emphasizes the role of education, advocacy, and leadership in driving the adoption of this framework, as well as the challenges and strategies associated with measuring its impact and fostering a culture of ethical resilience. Illuminates the transformative potential of integrating diplomatic management and theological ethics in ethical supply chains. By merging the principles of diplomacy, theology, and ethics, organizations can forge a path toward sustainable business practices that prioritize human dignity, environmental stewardship, and societal well-being. As industries, leaders, and consumers align their values with this visionary approach, they contribute to a future where ethical considerations are woven into the fabric of global supply chain practices, shaping a more harmonious and responsible world.
