Authors: Boguszewska Kamila
Published: January 2024

The extensive transformation of 19th-century Paris significantly influenced the development of innovative architecture for large retail stores during that era. These structures were a response to the dynamic social, urban, and technological changes of the time. Buildings like Le Bon Marché, Le Printemps, La Samaritaine, and Galeries Lafayette became icons of retail trade, introducing a new approach to commerce and creating modern spaces to attract customers. Constructed with materials like steel, iron, and glass, these grand retail buildings featured spacious interiors without columns. Elements traditionally associated with public utility structures, such as domes, lanterns, and spires, became their distinctive features. This article aims to analyse the architecture of the department stores in Paris built between the 19th and 20th centuries. The author explores the impact of dynamic social, urban, and technological changes of that period on shaping the commercial spaces in the city. Tracing the history of buildings like Le Bon Marché, Le Printemps, La Samaritaine, and Galeries Lafayette allows for an understanding of the innovations in trade, architecture, and urban planning during this time.

The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of minor cattle infections (leukemia, bovine immunodeficiency and spumavirus infection) using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Blood samples were collected from cows in conditionally leukemia-free farms in ten regions of Ukraine to determine the presence of these infections. The samples were examined via classical PCR to detect the genetic material of the specific fragment of the ENV gene of the leukemia virus using BLV-env-3/BLV-env-4 primers recommended by the OIE. To identify the proviral DNA of bovine foamy virus (BFV), primers Int 1-Int 2 and Int 3-Int 4 were used, and for the detection of bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) proviral DNA, a pair of primers RT_+(–) flanking the conservative domain of reverse transcriptase and a pair of primers flanking the pol gene of the BIV were selected. The situation concerning leukemia is most severe in Sumy and Kharkiv regions. A significant percentage of animals carrying the foamy virus was observed in farms in Kirovohrad, Kherson, Donetsk, and Kharkiv regions. Moreover, genetic material of the immunodeficiency virus was found in samples from Kirovohrad, Donetsk, and Kherson regions. These results indicate a significant prevalence of minor infections among cattle in Ukraine due to a lack of awareness among livestock workers, highlighting the necessity for comprehensive sanitary and preventive measures

Authors: Phukan Mandakinee , Mahanta Neelakshi , Deka Hitesh , Bharadwaj Barasha Sarma , Das Bhaskar , Talukdar Bhaskarjyoti
Published: January 2024

Objective: Mutation in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and rearrangement of echinoderm microtubule associated protein-like 4 (EML4)
–anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) occurs in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) which can be successfully treated with tyrosinekinase inhibitors. In some patients, biopsy is not feasible. We aimed to evaluate whether maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the
18 primary tumor (pSUVmax), nodal metastasis (nSUVmax) and distant metastasis (mSUVmax) obtained from uorine -18 uorodeoxyglucose ( FFDG) PET/CT scan helps to non-invasively determine EGFR mutation and ALK rearrangement in NSCLC. 65 patients Material and Methods:
18 with histopathologically conrmed NSCLC visiting our hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 underwent F-FDG PET/CT scan prior to
treatment. Their relevant clinicopathological data were obtained. pSUVmax, nSUVmax and mSUVmax were calculated and multivariate
regression analysis has been applied to identify predictors of EGFR mutation and ALK rearrangement. EGFR mutation and ALK Results:
rearrangement found in 29(45%) and 15(23%) patients respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that low pSUVmax with cut-off of 8.65, high
mSUVmax with cut-off of 9.2, female sex, adenocarcinoma and stage IV disease are better predictors of EGFR mutation. Similarly, high
nSUVmax (cut off >4.4), male sex, non-smokers, adenocarcinoma and stage IV disease had higher association with ALK rearrangement.
Conclusion: 18 Our study concluded that low pSUVmax and high mSUVmax obtained from F - FDG PET/CT scan when combined with relevant
18 clinicopathological factors is a valuable tool for non- invasively predicting EGFR mutation. Similarly high nSUVmax obtained from F - FDG
PET/CT scan along with other relevant clinicopathological factors helps in predicting ALK rearrangement in patients whom biopsy cannot be
obtained.

Authors: Yogita Yogita , Suman Nupur
Published: January 2024

Aim: The study aims to assess thyroid dysfunction prevalence in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients, to evaluate retinopathy occurrence, and
investigate the association between thyroid dysfunction and retinopathy risk in Type 2 diabetes patients. Materials And Methods: Study
involving 100 patients with conrmed type 2 diabetes mellitus under treatment, >5 years duration, and age >12 years were examined for thyroid
dysfunction and its potential association with retinopathy risk. Patients with known thyroid disorders and on medications affecting thyroid
function, high blood pressure were excluded. Detailed ocular and fundus examinations using the ETDRS classication and thyroid prole was
done. Findings helped to underscore the importance of investigating the thyroid-retinopathy link in this specic Type 2 diabetes patients. Results:
Our study found a signicant association between thyroid dysfunction (subclinical and overt hypothyroidism) and retinopathy in Type 2 Diabetes
patients, with an Odds Ratio of 5.06 (95% CI: 1.703–15.051) and a P-value <0.005. This implies a 5.06 times higher likelihood of retinopathy
development in diabetic patients with thyroid dysfunction compared to those without. Conclusion: Among Type 2 Diabetes patients, thyroid
dysfunction is prevalent in 23%, with subclinical hypothyroidism being the most common abnormality at 21%. The rates of hypothyroidism and
hyperthyroidism are 2% and 0%, respectively. Notably, both subclinical and overt hypothyroidism are linked to an elevated risk of retinopathy in
individuals with Type 2 Diabetes. Thus, Vigilance for thyroid dysfunction is imperative in Type 2 Diabetics, necessitating routine screening for all
patients with retinopathy.

Authors: Udvary Eszter
Published: January 2024

Integrating Quantum Key Distribution service with classical high-speed optical data transmission using a dense wavelength division multiplexing technique in a fiber is a cost-effective solution to improve the network's security. In this multichannel system, several noise sources degrade the quality of the quantum channel. The dominant degradation effect is determined by modeling in different cases. Optical filtering cannot decrease spontaneous Raman Scattering caused by the classical optical channels. So this nonlinear optical effect is investigated in detail with different system parameter setups. The optimal channel allocation and the required bandgap between the classical and quantum channels are determined.

In view of reducing the consumption of fuel and energy resources required for immobilizing the pupa of live silkworm cocoons, a high-performance solar thermal device designed for killing the pupa of cocoons is being proposed in this work. This portable device can be transported by any vehicle and handled by a single operator, and it does not require any special qualifications. Application of this device enables the saving of 100% of fuel and energy resources consumed in existing conveyor-type cocoon drying aggregates at the premises destined for the primary processing of cocoons. Experiments to study temperature conditions inside a solar thermal device with loaded living cocoons were carried out in industrial settings. Measurements of the ambient temperature inside the solar thermal unit and the flux of total solar radiation incident on the horizontal surface of the solar device were made by means of proven tools. Based on the findings from experimental investigations, a mathematical model of the rate of change in the temperature of cocoons inside a solar thermal device has been developed and proposed, taking into account the thermal characteristics of its enclosing elements, the arrival of solar radiation, and changes in ambient temperature. This mathematical model will enable the development of a solar thermal device for a similar purpose for the required temperatures inside the device.

Indeks massa tubuh merupakan unsur kebugaran jasmani yang dihitung melalui tes antropometri, antara tinggi badan dengan berat badan. Berat badan seseorang dipengaruhi oleh lemak yang ada di dalam tubuhnya. Tidak heran, jika ada seorang pemain sepakbola yang mengalami obesitas akan kesulitan untuk melakukan gerakan yang lincah, atraktif dan eksplosif. Ini akan berdampak pada performa atlet, terlebih juga performa tim. Tujuan dari penelitian ini melihat kontribusi persentase lemak tubuh terhadap indeks massa tubuh pada pemain Arema FC. Sampel yang digunakan adalah seluruh pemain Arema FC yang berjumlah 25 orang. Instrumen penelitian pada tes kebugaran jasmani olahraga adalah sebagai berikut: 1) IMT (Indeks Massa Tubuh) dengan cara mengukur tinggi badan dan berat badan kemudian dicatat. Selanjutnya keduanya dihitung sesuai rumus yang ditentukan. 2) Persentase lemak tubuh menggunakan alat untuk mengukur komposisi tubuh, yaitu Seca mBCA 514 Medical Body Composition Analyzer. Hasil data menyatakan terdapat korelasi antara persentase lemak tubuh dengan indeks massa tubuh, yaitu dengan nilai korelasi sebesar 0,98. Artinya, signifikansi diantara keduanya sangat kuat.
