Published: November 2021

Worldwide human health and economic has been affected due to the ongoing pandemic of corona virus (COVID-19). The major COVID-19 challenges are prevention, monitoring and FDA approved vaccines. IOT and cloud computing play vital role in epidemic prevention and blocking COVID-19 transmission. Mostly lungs and hearts are affected. Other than lungs many parts are affected which are not considered as prominent conversational cue. In this paper, we have proposed smart system that is effective through detection of pancreas, kidney and intestine. It detects acute pancreatitis, protein leak, microscopic blood leak, post infectious dysmotility and gastrointestinal bleeding. The data from the edge devices are collected and mapped into the cloud layer. The cloud consists of COVID-19 patients medical records which compare the user data with the existing patient records. Once the data matches it sends warning message to the user regarding the result of affected parts. Based on the result from KPI system, it analyzes with all data and using deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) it classifies whether the pancreas, kidney and intestine are affected or not due to COVID-19.

Published: November 2021

The rapid rate of innovations and dynamics of technology has made humans life more dependent on them. In today’s synopsis Microblogging and Social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook are a part of our lives that cannot be detached from anyone. Through these social media each one of them carry their emotions and fix their opinions based on a particular situations or circumstances. This paper presents a brief comparison about Detection and Classification of Emotions on Social Media using SVM and Näıve Bayesian classifier. Twitter messages has been used as input dataset because they contain a broad, varied, and freely accessible set of emotions. The approach uses hash-tags as labels to train supervised classifiers to detect multiple classes of emotion on potentially large data sets without the need for manual intervention. We look into the usefulness of a number of features for detecting emotions, including unigrams, unigram symbol, negations and punctuations using SVM and Näıve Bayesian Classifiers.

Published: November 2021

The major goal of our research would be to classify the quality of maize grain after obtaining the crop output. Grains have been the most important grain for farmers to boost their farming revenue in a country. One of the most significant food crops is wheat grain. The majority of the country’s grain is used for animal feed, human consumption, and the creation of industrial products. The amount of mechanization used to assess grain quality is modest, and the majority of the job is done by hand. Every day, different prices are introduced in various marketplaces, and farmers face losses every year quality of service estimate and market rates. With our classification we can give accurate progress on the seed which will help farmer’s to sell with better price along with that this assumption can idealize him to give good nutritious fertilizer to the crop.

Published: November 2021

In this paper, the main aim of the project is to identify and do analysis of sentiment and emotion of the person and through the analysis find the state of the mind of the person. After finding the state of the mind of the person we can help people through NGO. We know that now top people are using social media twitter, and that place people are posting their thoughts and feelings. In this paper, our job is to do a twitter text analysis and make recommendations based on human emotions and also find state of mind of the person. Here we collect a tweet from the tweeter and their posts and make an analysis of this post. Emotional analysis is the study area for analyzing people’s reviews, emotions, attitudes, and feelings from a tweeter in a written language. Emotional analysis has applications such as data collection and analysis of that data. However, the large volume and unstructured nature of text or data poses a challenge to properly analyzing data. Similarly, skilled algorithms or computer techniques are needed to mine and reduce tweets and find emotional words. Many of the existing computer systems, models, algorithms in sensory diagnostics from such informal data rely on machine learning techniques on the voice bag process as its basis. Understanding public opinion from a tweeter can help improve future decision-making. Comment mines are a way to get knowledge about online services from tweeter blogs, micro blogs, and social media. Individual opinions vary from person to person, and Twitter tweets are the most important source of this type of data. However, the large volume and unstructured nature of text / ideas data poses a challenge to analyzing the efficient data system. we know that millions of people are posting their reviews and comments on Twitter. By performing a tweeter analysis we will use other data science techniques to make an example, processing, classification of Bayes naive, k means algorithm integration, etc.

Authors: Chen Zhuo , Ma Ye , Zhang Kaihe , Zhou Chenxi , Huang Xiaoyan , Zhang Jian
Published: November 2021

High temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes could be introduced into large scale electrical machines in order to improve the power density. However, the alternating current (AC) loss of HTS tapes will cause the reduction of efficiency. On the basis of analytical and numerical model calculations, this paper presents an optimal design of the HTS armature winding aiming at lower AC loss. The main contribution of this work is that the relationship between the installation parameters and the AC loss of such HTS armature windings has been figured out based on the analysis of the shape feature of the HTS tape and the external magnetic field. When the tape is placed along a particular direction where the perpendicular component of external magnetic field has the lowest amplitude, the AC loss is the smallest. The modified installation location and angle are found based on the proposed generator. These results are verified using finite element method (FEM).

Authors: Mamcirov Nurbiy , Mnatcakanyan Arcen
Published: November 2021

Abstract. The production of corn in the North Caucasus, and particularly in Adygea, has its own characteristics. While cultivating, it is necessary to improve individual elements of technology constantly, since they, together with technical means, determine production efficiency, seed productivity and quality of product [7]. The purpose of the work is to determine the optimal methods of basic soil cultivation and doses of mineral fertilizers that give the maximum effect when growing corn selection hybrids of the FSBSI “National Grain Center named after P. P. Lukyanenko”. The novelty of the obtained results is that the responsiveness of new corn hybrids has been studied for the first time on merged leached black soils and the most optimal elements of their cultivation technology have been identified. The research methods correspond to the “Methodology of Experimental Business” by B. A. Dospekhov. Results. As a result, it was found that the types of tillage did not have a significant effect on the density of the topsoil and varied within 1.23–1.26 g/cm3. It was noted that the best conditions for the growth and development of plants are formed when fertilizers are applied at doses of N120P60K40 and N150P60K40. Plowing to a depth of 30–32 cm (option 3) and plowing to a depth of 26–28 cm with soil deepening (option 4) had approximately the same effect on the analyzed parameters of corn. The maximum leaf area in the range of 7028–7083 cm2 and the largest weight of one plant, 2.25–2.26 kg, was noted respectively in 3 and 4 options, which contributed to obtaining of the highest yield – 5.84 and 5.62 t/ha. The optimal parameters of the elements in the yield structure were noted in the variant with a dose of N120P60K40, where the grain yield of the hybrid ROSS 140 SV was 4.94 t/ha, Krasnodar 194 MV – 4.90 and ROSS 195 MV – 5.25 t/ha, which is on 67.2, 72.6 and 69.0 % higher than in the control. The use of fertilizers in a dose of N120P60K40 provides better economic efficiency, although the yield here is somewhat lower than on the N150P60K40 option. The most cost-effective was the variant with the dose of N120P60K40, and amounted: ROSS 140 SV – 168.6 %, Krasnodar 194 MV – 184.4 % and ROSS 195 MV – 185.4 %.

Published: November 2021

Abstract: This paper investigates the relationship between European football league competitive balance and the performance of that league’s participants in UEFA competitions. The evidence suggests that competitive balance measured using performance points fits the performance coefficients of countries participating in the Champions League and Europa League and that a reciprocal model fits the data best. The evidence suggests that marginal improvements in competitive balance can lead to increase of one-third a win for a league’s participants in the Champions League. The increased rewards for UEFA success suggest policies that promote competitive balance have both public and private benefits for clubs.

Authors: Prayogi Sigit Firdaus , Yazid Yazid
Published: November 2021

Urban people who have high mobility are starting to realize the importance of better environmental health by reducing air pollution so that they can reduce high stress levels. Being in the house, does not mean avoiding air pollution. According to the EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) or environmental protection agency in the United States, indoor air pollution is 2-5 times greater than outdoors. Then came the biophilic trend for urban communities by making their homes a comfortable and healthy place by using live plants as a lifestyle because they nourish the body both physically and psychologically. Limited residential areas such as apartments are starting to become the choice of urban communities because of good security, complete facilities, and easy parking and strategic locations. The problem of small residential land in apartments is a problem for users, so they tend to choose to use multifunctional products. The limited land also makes it difficult for the residents to channel their hobby of maintaining plants and pets, as a means of recreation and entertainment. Researchers try to analyze the need for multifunctional furniture that can channel the hobby of raising animals and plants, namely Smart Aquaponics; by not taking up a large space, having an attractive design and complete with automation features. This smart aquaponics research was conducted for apartment users who need a good living environment but have limited time to maintain it. This study tries to apply an automation system in Smart Aquaponik products that can help apartment residents to be able to have functional furniture that accommodates a biophilic lifestyle.
Challenging the HIV Epidemic in Ontario Through PrEP and HIV Testing
Authors: Winkelman Steven
Published: November 2021

The Ontario HIV Treatment Network (OHTN) is a non-profit network which collaborates with health clinics, AIDS service and community organizations, and policy leaders in order to improve the health and wellbeing of people living with and at risk of HIV. I joined the OHTN as a member of the Collective Impact team, with a focus on examining the barriers and facilitators to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake in Ontario. PrEP is a once-daily pill which is highly effective in preventing HIV infections for HIV-negative people, however usage remains relatively low in Ontario. In this role, I liaised with the Knowledge Synthesis team at OHTN to collect, analyse, and synthesize recent scientific literature on Pre and Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) in order to create a comprehensive annotated bibliography on PrEP research. Key findings were drawn from the research to identify potential next steps to increase PrEP use for priority populations in Ontario. Findings from the annotated bibliography were presented to OHTN staff, and have been used to assist in the development of two PrEP study proposals; 1) a cisgender and transgender women-focused PrEP education package and HIV risk screening tool, and 2) a pharmacist-led PrEP delivery pilot. I also worked with the Testing and Clinical Initiatives team at the OHTN, to aid in the implementation and evaluation of two HIV-testing projects: the GetaTest pharmacy-based HIV-testing study, and the GetaKit HIV self-testing pilot program. In this role I drafted health communication materials; analysed survey data and drafted project reports for stakeholders; and provided perspectives on the HIV-care continuum, particularly on PrEP initiation, adherence, and efficacy. My work with the OHTN was important to public health because it sought to expand access to HIV testing and prevention services for priority populations in Ontario, including men who have sex with men, and cis and trans women.

Authors: Wang Tianru , Ahmad Safa , Schwartz Robert , Chaiton Michael , Bondy Susan
Published: November 2021

Background: The prevalence of electronic cigarette use has doubled among Canadian youth and young adults in recent years. However, little is known about the predictors of greater vaping nicotine dependence. This study identifies variables associated with greater Penn-State Electronic Cigarette Dependence Index (PS-ECDI) scores and higher vaping sessions per month (SPM) among this population.

Methods: Data were drawn from a longitudinal study that recruited 1048 Canadian participants aged 16-26 in 2018. Quota sampling was used to ensure enough regular e-cigarette users were recruited. The current study restricted analyses to the 459 participants who were baseline vapers and have completed both the baseline and 12-month follow-up surveys. Linear regression analyses were employed, with the use of the best subset modelling strategy to obtain reduced models.

Results: Baseline vapers who were ≥ 18 and married or cohabiting, had used other tobacco products, had 30 or more puffs per vaping session, started vaping at an earlier age, vaped to quit/reduce smoking, and had used a disposable cigarette-like vaping device and/or an advanced box or tubular device and/or a pod vape in the last 6-month were associated with greater PS-ECDI scores compared to their respective counterparts. Additionally, baseline vapers who were ≥18 and married or cohabiting, had used cannabis, had 30 or more puffs per vaping session; vaped to reduce/quit smoking and/or because friends vape; had used a pod vape in the last 6-month were more likely to have higher SPM at the 12-month follow-up compared to their respective counterparts.

Conclusion: 11% of the participants were classified as high vaping nicotine dependence and 42% of the participants had increased their SPM over 1 year. The findings provide targets for vaping reduce or cessation programs and potential policy change in the regulation and sales of pod vape.
Validating International Classification of Disease 10th revision algorithms for identifying influenza and respiratory syncytial virus hospitalizations
Authors: Hamilton Mackenzie A , Calzavara Andrew , Emerson Scott D , Kwong Jeffrey C
Published: November 2021

Objective: Routinely collected health administrative data can be used to efficiently assess disease burden in large populations, but it is important to evaluate the validity of these data. The objective of this study was to develop and validate International Classification of Disease 10PthP revision (ICD -10) algorithms that identify laboratory-confirmed influenza or laboratory-confirmed respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) hospitalizations using population-based health administrative data from Ontario, Canada.

Study Design and Setting: Influenza and RSV laboratory data from the 2014-15 through to 2017-18 respiratory virus seasons were obtained from the Ontario Laboratories Information System (OLIS) and were linked to hospital discharge abstract data to generate influenza and RSV reference cohorts. These reference cohorts were used to assess the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of the ICD-10 algorithms. To minimize misclassification in future studies, we prioritized specificity and PPV in selecting top-performing algorithms.

Results: 83,638 and 61,117 hospitalized patients were included in the influenza and RSV reference cohorts, respectively. The best influenza algorithm had a sensitivity of 73% (95% CI 72% to 74%), specificity of 99% (95% CI 99% to 99%), PPV of 94% (95% CI 94% to 95%), and NPV of 94% (95% CI 94% to 95%). The best RSV algorithm had a sensitivity of 69% (95% CI 68% to 70%), specificity of 99% (95% CI 99% to 99%), PPV of 91% (95% CI 90% to 91%) and NPV of 97% (95% CI 97% to 97%).

Conclusion: We identified two highly specific algorithms that best ascertain patients hospitalized with influenza or RSV. These algorithms may be applied to hospitalized patients if data on laboratory tests are not available, and will thereby improve the power of future epidemiologic studies of influenza, RSV, and potentially other severe acute respiratory infections.

Authors: Field Rachel , Saeed Gul , Villada Rivera Mariana , Campanella Sabrina , Tailor Lauren
Published: November 2021

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed critical gaps in the public’s knowledge of infectious diseases. Experts, including the World Health Organization, acknowledge that an “infodemic” of misinformation is spreading at the same time as the pandemic. Furthermore, 13% of Canadians age 50 and younger reported using social media as their primary source of information about COVID-19. Thus, in January 2020, the Infectious Disease Working Group (IDWG) was formed by a group of students at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto. The IDWG’s Media Messaging Team (MMT) uses Knowledge Translation (KT) strategies to increase access to evidence-based information related to public health and COVID-19. Specifically, MMT uses virtual platforms, including Twitter and Instagram (@infectious_info), to disseminate information to a wide audience.

Objectives: The MMT aims to produce content to dispel pervasive and harmful myths about COVID-19, raise public awareness, and advocate for health equity.

Methods: The team creates 2-4 pieces of original content per week on topics such as Ontario Government legislation updates, myth-busting series, and “Wednesday Series” (summaries of novel research findings). The IDWG employs an equity lens to ensure that the content takes into account the experiences and needs of diverse groups, and that graphics are representative of a diverse audience. Health communication strategies are used to promote audience engagement through compelling and bold content design.

Results: The Instagram account has over 4,400 followers, with some posts surpassing 50,000 views. Qualitative feedback from social media followers indicates that this project is addressing an emerging gap in knowledge resulting from unclear messaging from official bodies, the spread of mis/disinformation, and disparities in health literacy levels.

Conclusions: The findings can inform the development and implementation of KT strategies to reach a wide audience and increase the uptake of public health information.

Authors: Wong Jessica J , Côté Pierre , Tricco Andrea C , Watson Tristan , Rosella Laura C
Published: November 2021

Introduction: We assessed the effect of self-reported back pain on health care utilization and costs in a population-based sample of Ontario adults.

Methods: We conducted a population-based matched cohort study of Ontarian respondents aged ≥18 years of Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) from 2003-2012. CCHS data were individually linked to health administrative data to measure health care utilization and costs up to 2018. We propensity-score matched (hard-matched on sex) adults with self-reported back pain to those without back pain, accounting for sociodemographic, health-related, and behavioural factors. We evaluated back pain-specific and all-cause health care utilization and costs from healthcare payer perspective adjusted to 2018 Canadian dollars. Poisson and linear (log-transformed) models were used to assess healthcare utilization rates and costs. 

Results: After propensity-score matching, we identified 36,806 pairs (21,054 for women, 15,752 for men) of CCHS respondents with and without back pain (mean age 51 years; SD=18). Compared to propensity-score matched adults without back pain, adults with back pain had two times the rate of back pain-specific visits (women: rate ratio [RR] 2.06, 95% CI 1.88-2.25; men: RR 2.32, 95% CI 2.04-2.64), 1.1 times the rate of all-cause physician visits (women: RR 1.12, 95% CI 1.09-1.16; men: RR 1.10, 95% CI 1.05-1.14), and 1.2 times the costs (women: 1.21, 95% CI 1.16-1.27; men: 1.16, 95% CI 1.09-1.23). Incremental annual per-person costs were higher in adults with back pain versus those without (women: $395, 95% CI $281-$509; men: $196, 95% CI $94-$300), corresponding to $532 million for women and $227 million CAD for men annually in Ontario.

Conclusions: Adults with back pain had considerably higher health care utilization and costs compared to adults without back pain. These findings provide the most recent, comprehensive, and high-quality estimates of the health system burden of back pain to inform healthcare policy and decision-making. New strategies to reduce the substantial burden of back pain are warranted.

В статті наведені результати проведеного дослідження сучасного та перспективного світового ринку озброєнь в секторі багатоцільових тактичних винищувачів. На основі застосування розробленого авторами методичного підходу та побудованого комплексу математичних моделей проведено аналіз тактико-техніко-економічних показників основних типів найсучасніших багатоцільових тактичних винищувачів, що на цей час спроектовані та поставлені на серійне виробництво, і які можуть розглядатися в якості альтернативних варіантів для закупівлі на потреби оновлення парку бойових літаків тактичної авіації Повітряних Сил Збройних Сил України. Обрані об’єктами дослідження альтернативні типи багатоцільових винищувачів у повному обсязі відповідають стандартам НАТО та в середньостроковій й довгостроковій перспективі складатимуть основну номенклатуру такої продукції на світовому ринку озброєнь. За допомогою кваліметричних моделей та на основі узагальнення даних про тактико-технічні характеристики обраних для дослідження типів багатоцільових тактичних винищувачів, що містяться у відкритих джерелах науково-технічної інформації, здійснено оцінювання значень узагальнених показників бойових властивостей цих типів літаків, а саме, значень коефіцієнтів бойового потенціалу літака у знищенні повітряних та ураженні наземних (надводних) цілей. За отриманими оцінками показників бойових властивостей та за допомогою математичної моделі вартості багатоцільового винищувача отримані значення ціни одного серійного зразка кожного типу літака та оцінені вартісні показники його життєвого циклу в цінах фіксованого фінансового року. Також, шляхом використання побудованої математичної моделі кількісно оцінені максимальні можливі темпи серійного виробництва визначених типів багатоцільових винищувачів. Спираючись на отримані кількісні оцінки тактико-техніко-економічних показників та аналізуючи офіційну інформацію про вже укладені контракти на постачання серійних зразків багатоцільових винищувачів різним країнам-імпортерам проведено оцінювання можливих термінів отримання заданої кількості нових серійних виробів на потреби тактичної авіації Повітряних Сил Збройних Сил України, тобто оцінено доступну закупівлю.

У статті проаналізовано міжнародний досвід розробки та виробництва безпілотних роботизованих систем, як перспективний напрям розвитку озброєнь та військової техніки. Висвітлено нормативно-правові, організаційні та економічні чинники, які стримують їх розвиток в України. Визначено пріоритети розвитку безпілотних роботизованих систем, одним із яких є застосування для цього інструментів міжнародного воєнно-економічного співробітництва, під яким запропоновано вважати  міцні і тривалі зв'язки кооперативного характеру, в основі яких лежать вироблені та узгоджені наперед наміри, що закріплені в довготривалих економічних угодах і договорах у сфері розроблення та виробництва БПЛА та БПНА між вітчизняними компаніями – розробниками безпілотних роботизованих систем та провідними закордонними компаніями США, Туреччини, інших держав – членів НАТО, Ізраїлю з питань реалізації спільних проектів у цій сфері. Запропоновано  для активізації виробництва безпілотних роботизованих систем різного призначення застосувати державно-приватне партнерство у оборонно-промисловому секторі України, що надає можливість створення спільних підприємств у формі господарських організацій для реалізації інвестиційно-інноваційних, капіталомістких, довготривалих проектів, що є міжнародною практикою. Саме завдяки цьому виникає можливість розподіляти ризики проекту, залучати до нього значні інвестиції та просувати товари/послуги на ринки інших країн. Запропоновано заходи з розвитку державно-приватного партнерства у цій сфері, зокрема: впровадження економічних механізмів ефективної взаємодії наукових установ та виробничих комплексів різних форм власності, а також державно-приватного партнерства підприємств, які забезпечують розроблення, виготовлення і модернізацію безпілотної техніки. Зазначено пріоритет розвитку міжнародного воєнно-економічного співробітництва у сфері безпілотної техніки: посилення експортного потенціалу вітчизняного ОПК, що має здійснюватися шляхом: розроблення та прийняття нормативно-правових актів, спрямованих на забезпечення заходів міжнародного воєнно-економічного співробітництва і реалізацію офсетних угод під час закупівлі роботизованих платформ та робототехніки за імпортом; укладення міжурядових угод з міжнародного воєнно-економічного співробітництва, що передбачають взаємний захист інвестицій, технологій, конкретні заходи із спільного виробництва безпілотної техніки для потреб ринків третіх держав; створення сприятливих умов для реалізації міжнародних проектів у сфері озброєнь і військової техніки, зокрема, забезпечення умов для створення спільного виробництва зразків безпілотної техніки, які не виготовляються в Україні.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a influência da pressão de homogeneização upstream (antes do tratamento térmico) na estabilidade do leite integral pasteurizado quando submetido ao teste do álcool, visando processamento UHT sem adição de estabilizantes. Quatro diferentes pressões de homogeneização (0 MPa, 20 MPa, 40 MPa e 80 MPa, além do tratamento controle) foram avaliadas em temperatura de 80°C (temperatura de homogeneização média utilizada nas indústrias de leite UHT), empregando dois métodos de observação do comportamento coloidal do leite após o teste do álcool (concentrações de etanol entre 72% (v/v) e 96% (v/v), em intervalos de 2% (v/v)): visualização direta e análise de distribuição do tamanho das partículas. Os resultados de LS demonstraram que o tratamento 0 MPa não apresentou diferença significativa (p>0,05) para valores de d10 até o álcool 86% (v/v), mostrando assim uma maior estabilidade quando comparado ao tratamento controle (estável ao álcool ≤ 82% (v/v)). Verificou-se que as estabilidades dos tratamentos controle, 20 MPa e 40 MPa foram mantidas até a concentração do álcool ≤ 80% (v/v) (p>0,05), comportamento distinto ao observado no tratamento 80 MPa que apresentou diferença estatística significativa (p<0,05) após adição do álcool ≥78% (v/v). Esses dados demonstraram que a homogeneização upstream aplicando pressões entre 20 MPa e 80 MPa teve influência negativa no teste do álcool. Sob a condições do estudo, a não adição dos estabilizadores não pode ser recomendada.

Objetivo: Analisar a representação imagética do corpo no buscador Google Imagens. Metodologia: De natureza exploratória-descritiva e abordagem quali-quantitativa, adotou-se a Análise Semiótica, fundamentada nos pressupostos teóricos de Bauer e Gaskell, respeitando os estágios metodológicos, sugeridos pelos autores: Escolha de imagens; Inventário denotativo; Análise dos níveis de significação. No primeiro estágio, foram coletadas as 100 primeiras imagens do Google Imagens, em um corte transversal, no dia 27 de dezembro de 2020, tendo como palavra-chave: corpo. Após aplicados os critérios de exclusão, foram selecionadas 42 imagens. Resultados: A diferença entre a incidência dos gêneros foi significativa, sendo o gênero masculino presente em 14,2% (n = 6) das imagens e o feminino em 85,8% (n = 36). De acordo com o perfil estético da amostra, foram identificadas duas imagens classificadas como fora do padrão estereotipado, enquanto as demais fotos (95,3%) faziam referência a corpos que se encaixam no padrão estereotipado, ou seja, que acompanham o modelo midiático de magreza. Ainda, buscando identificar a representação das imagens, evidencia-se o destaque dado a estética (n = 31), em detrimento de imagens relacionadas a saúde (n = 7). Considerações finais: A representação imagética da mídia virtual apresentada na amostra, evidencia o corpo desejado como aquele predominantemente feminino. Além da predominância de um gênero, este corpo apresenta características morfológicas específicas, sendo entre as mulheres relacionado a magreza e entre os homens a um corpo musculoso.
