Authors: Arora Madhu , Thakur Sheetal , Gupta Ravi
Published: May 2022

Consumer satisfaction is a keyfeaturein delineating the quality of offered services.Similarly, in hospitals, satisfaction of patientswith the dietary services is considered as one of theparameters of estimation of quality of hospitals’ food services. Food provided in the hospital must be nutritious and must qualify the clinical needs of patients along with fulfilling their dietary expectations. A satisfied patients responds to the clinical treatment in a much better way than discontented. Thus, to improve the health care system, in parallel to the development of other sectors, considering the patient satisfactionas benchmark of dietary service is seen as a pivotal factor.Such studied are essential for improvement in hospital service quality and in India relatively lesser research is done in this field. In the present study we aimed to examine the factors that could influence the dietary satisfaction of patients and could be used to amend the food services in hospital. We took qualitative and non-experimental approach where we used questionnaire as our data collection tool where we collected demographic profile of patients, their nutritional status along with the type of facilities they are availing.
Variational mode decomposition based automated fetal PCG denoising and extraction
Authors: Vakamullu Venkatesh , Mishra Madhusudhan
Published: May 2022

Congenital cardiac anomalies of fetus are often characterized by the unprecedented changes in the auditory properties of cardiac sounds occurs during the gestation period of pregnant women. These abnormalities are often seen in inconsistent patterns of heart sounds that are driven by asynchronous variations in heart rates of mother and fetus. This hostile situation becomes severe if it is untreated and might threaten to life risk in pregnant women. In this work, we proposed a novel and automated signal processing paradigm using Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) to detect and extract the mother and fetus heart sounds from the raw PCG signals recorded from outer surface of the maternal abdomen. The proposed framework constitutes a couple of cascaded VMD blocks: The first VMD block alleviates the raspatory noises and other artifacts from the raw PCG signal; while the Next one, decomposes the mother and fetus heart sounds obtained from its preceding block. A publicly available Shiraz University Fetal Heart Sounds Database is used to test the efficacy of the proposed model. In addition, noisy PCG corpus characterized by the additive white gaussian noise is used to test the efficacy of the proposed network. F

Published: May 2022

The goal of this research is to provide an accurate and exact technique for estimating Albendazole and Paclitaxel simultaneously utilizing gradient RP-HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography). A UV detector fixed at 230 nm was used to estimate albendazole and paclitaxel simultaneously. As the solvent system, acetonitrile and water in the ratio of 50:50 was used in the presence of 0.1 % trifluoroacetic acid. Mobile phase was run on a Inertsil ODS 3V 150 4.6 mm or equivalent column in Gradient mode at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. By this method albendazole and paclitaxel showed 6.199 and 9.684 retention time (Rt) respectively with continuous run upto 25 min. In the prescribed concentration range, the calibration curves for each analyte were determined to be linear (r2 > 0.994). The percentage of recovery was found to be within the limit at each level (98.0 %to 102.0 %). All validation parameters were determined to be acceptable, including system precision, method precision, linearity, range, accuracy, ruggedness, robustness, solution, and mobile phase stability findings. This suggests that the HPLC simultaneous approach for determining albendazole and paclitaxel assays is accurate. S

The use of tobacco overall in India is given with an advanced rate of frequency of smoking. The high burden of tobacco use, the studies have stated the examined the indigenous, socioeconomic, demographic, and, other factors of smoking, smokeless tobacco in India. The main idea is to study the burden of the complaint, socioeconomic status, demographic of the use of smoking in civic and pastoral places of overall India. The studies have analysed it through a cross-sectional bivariate and multivariate analysis, for representation of the sample of individualities from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey in India. The different forms of tobacco use are in three different forms, substantially smoking only, smokeless tobacco use, and admixture of both uses were considered as outgrowth variables of all the studies. Smokeless tobacco use was the major form of tobacco use in India followed by smoking and binary tobacco use. Tobacco use is in advanced among males than in ladies in the pastoral and civic populations of India. The population was lacking knowledge of the health hazards of tobacco and had an advanced frequency of tobacco use in each form.

Published: May 2022

El presente trabajo de investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar y caracterizar los fundamentos de la sustentabilidad presentes en la bioeconomía y, a su vez, como dichas prácticas se relacionan con las teorías administrativas y, por lo tanto, dentro de la gestión organizacional. Se exploraron 62 publicaciones científicas y 4 publicaciones técnicas. Como resultado, se describió que la sustentabilidad se encuentra inmersa dentro de la bioeconomía por medio del Modelo del Triple Balance que aborda la dimensión económica, ecológica y social. El Modelo de Triple Hélice se ve inmerso al promover las alianzas entre los sectores gubernamental, académico y privado, así como estatutos tales como los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), o bien, la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE). Asimismo, la sustentabilidad de la bioeconomía se relaciona con las teorías administrativas que fomentan, dentro de las entidades organizacionales, el diseño de políticas y operaciones apegadas a la bioeconomía, es decir, buenas practicas que promuevan la preservación de la flora y fauna, apego a fuentes de energía limpia, crecimiento integral de las comunidades, así como  la reincorporación  de la biomasa a las cadenas de valor.
Youth Policing, Surveillance, and Digital Media Performances of In/Visibility
Authors: Ivashkevich Olga , Keyes Oscar
Published: May 2022

The article unpacks the history and function of hypervisibility via surveillance mechanisms used to monitor and classify subjects within the criminal justice system, using social theories proposed by Michel Foucault and Allan Sekula; offers examples of digital media artists who experiment with techniques designed to evade bodily monitoring and surveillance; and discusses a digital media project with a group of adolescent girls in a juvenile arbitration program who video-recorded their slam poetry performances and then deliberately masked/obscured their bodily appearances while editing their videos. The authors argue that the girl participants’ media-making practices generated a liminal space of in/visibility that pushed back against their experience of criminalization and disrupted surveillance mechanisms that they encountered in their local schools, communities, and the juvenile arbitration program, while the participants openly spoke about their life issues and traumas.

The Effect of Storage Time and Different Anticoagulants on Fasting Blood Glucose Concentration
Authors: Al Salhen Khaled S. , Saad Eman K. , Aznine Aml J.
Published: May 2022

The comparative stabilizing effects of storage time and the anticoagulants; fluoride oxalate, EDTA, sodium citrate, and serum on ice slurry; on fasting blood glucose level were determined using the spectrophotometry method. Fasting blood samples were taken from 75 non-diabetic male people, and the blood glucose levels determined at 30 min intervals for a maximum time of 3 hours. Our results showed that the rate at which plasma glucose changes with time varies with specific anticoagulants. From the results, it was observed that the rate at which the blood glucose decreases with time vary with specific anticoagulants. It was noticed that random blood glucose in sodium citrate, EDTA, fluoride oxalate and serum on ice slurry decreased at a mean value of 28.4mg/dl, 58mg/dl, 15.4mg/dl and 60.2mg/dl dl after 3 hours respectively. With respect to the concentration of glucose before storage, this suggests that storage of blood using fluoride oxalate as an anticoagulant tends to better preserve the glucose level over a long period of time. Transport on ice slurry and rapid separation of serum within 30 min can inhibit glycolysis without the addition any anticoagulants (% reduction 1.3). Thus, from our findings, it is obvious that irrespective of the specimen type, time of collection or type of anticoagulant, the concentration of blood glucose remained unstable during storage. It is therefore suggested that analysis of blood glucose should be carried out immediately after collection of specimen or within the shortest possible time after storage in an anticoagulant to obtain a reliable result.

Authors: Awami Salem
Published: May 2022

Rome IV defines Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) as disorders of gut-brain interaction. It is a group of disorders classified by gastrointestinal symptoms related to any combination of the following: motility disturbance, visceral hypersensitivity, altered mucosal and immune function, altered gut microbiota, and altered central nervous system processing. Patients with Gallbladder Functional disorder (GBFD) may have abnormal gastric emptying and colonic transit, suggesting a possible generalized gastrointestinal motility disorder. The presentation of functional gallbladder disorder mimics classic symptoms of biliary pain, 27 patients and 27 healthy volunteers (7 males and 20 females) in each group, age between 21 and 48 years were included into the study, and diagnosis of functional gallbladder disorder was based on Rome III criteria. All patients were given a standard test fatty meal, and Gallbladder volume was calculated manually by using the ellipsoid formula (Dodd’s formula). The pre-meal and post-meal gallbladder volumes and ejection fraction (EF) of the gallbladder (GB) were estimated. The patients and control groups were compared for age, gender, and body mass index. The body mass index in our control and patients was high indicating a prevalence of overweight in both groups. This study demonstrated that fatty meal ultrasound is a cheap, easy to handle, and physiologic. GBFD patients have decreased emptying of gallbladder compared to healthy subjects. GBFD should be considered in patients presented with recurrent right upper quadrant abdominal pain, decreased emptying of gallbladder in the absence of visualized gallstones on abdominal ultrasound, and meeting the Rome III criteria

One hundred and twenty healthy female Sprague-Dawley rats weighing between 300 to 350g were used in this study over a 20-day period. They were allocated randomly into 4 groups of 30 animals each. After the creation of 2cm x 2cm open wound, Group I was control treated with Gentamycin ointment. Groups II, III and IV were treated with Different Types of Honey. On application, the honey was well accepted by the animals without any adverse reaction. On clinical examination, Groups II, III and IV showed bright beefy red color granulation tissue with angiogenesis when compared to Groups I. On bacteriological examination, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas, Escherichia coli, Proteus and Klebsiella species were isolated from all the groups. Mean percentage of epithelialistion, wound contraction and total healing were significantly better in Group IV (P<0.05).

Honey can be a better wound healing biomaterial in rats. It can be used as a less expensive skin substitute in order to stimulate and promote wound healing in animals.

Demand and supply of Teakwood in Kerala
Authors: Krishnankutty C. , Thampi K. , Chundamannil Mammen
Published: May 2022

This paper analyses the demand-supply situation of Teakwood in Kerala State in India. The total demand for Teakwood during 2000-2001 was 96,294 m3, which was 4.7 per cent of the total demand for all timbers. Among the timber-using sectors, housing was the largest Teakwood-using sector. Teakwood export to other States within the country was 13,812 m3 of which 6335 m3 was Teak poles. The international export was only 113 m3. Of the total Teakwood supply, forest plantations accounted for 52 per cent, import 15 per cent and areas outside forests contributed the remaining 33 per cent. Production and consumption of Teakwood was more or less matched, with only a small deficit of 667 m3. Kerala, a traditional exporter, has now become a net importer. Shortening of the rotation age of forest Teak plantations to 50 years has reduced the production of larger girth logs. A policy for increasing the rotation age of forest Teak plantations must be adopted to make available high value larger girth logs for the national and international markets.

Theoretical Investigation of Vapour Pressure above the Capillary Head in Soils
Authors: JOHN P. T.
Published: May 2022

It is found that vapour pressure decreases with height above the capillary head depending on the vapour pressure at the capillary head and the surface of the soil column. Important causes of the decrease are due to adsorptive force of the soil particles on vapour molecules and the resistive force offered by the soil particles to the passage of vapour. Combining the3e two forces, a differential equation was formed and solved to give correct values of vapour pressure at all levels within the soil column.
A study of high level wind tendency during premonsoon months in relation to time of onset of southwest monsoon in India
Authors: SIRCAR N.C. RAI , PATIL C. D.
Published: May 2022

Instances of unusually early or late arrival of the southwest monsoon over the whole country or a large part thereof during the 15-year period 1943-57 have been studied with reference to the high level wind changes during the corresponding premonsoon months. The rapid weakening of the mean westerly components of the prevailing winds during April appear to be associated with early monsoon while their strengthening with late monsoon. Some typical cases are illustrated and discussed in the note. These may be of interest to a forecaster who has to make a long range forecast regarding the probable time of arrival of the monsoon in a particular year.
Relation between growth and yield of the sugarcane crop at Poona
Authors: SARKER R. P. , RAGHAVENDRA V. K. , NAYAR P. S.
Published: May 2022

The growth phenomena like germination, tittering, elongation, ripening etc and the ultimate yield of a crop are influenced by the weather elements, which the crop experiences during its life-cycle. Accordingly, it may be possible to find out a regression formula between the yield and the weather elements (experienced by the crop during its life-span) and to predict the yield therefrom. However, "one obvious limitation to a prediction formula based on meteorological variates is that the weather vagaries right up to the time of harvest would probably have to be included. An alternative is to use the plant itself as an integrator of weather effects and to base a prediction formula for yield on easily recognisable and measurable states of the crop during its growth" (Keen 1940).

Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Management
Authors: Le Hai V. , Wick Joseph B. , Van Benjamin W. , Klineberg Eric O.
Published: May 2022

Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) occurs as heterotopic bone forms in the posterior longitudinal ligament, resulting in neural compression, myelopathy, and radiculopathy. OPLL is most commonly observed in East Asian populations, with prevalence rates of 1.9% to 4.3% reported in Japan. OPLL rates are lower in North American and European patients, with reported prevalence of 0.1% to 1.7%. Patients typically develop symptoms due to OPLL in their cervical spines. The etiology of OPLL is multifactorial, including genetic, metabolic, and anatomic factors. Asymptomatic or symptomatic patients with OPLL can be managed nonsurgically, whereas patients with neurologic symptoms may require surgical decompression from an anterior, posterior, or combined approach. Surgical treatment can provide notable improvement in neurologic function. Surgical decision making accounts for multiple factors, including patient comorbidities, neurologic status, disease morphology, radiographic findings, and procedure complication profiles. In this study, we review OPLL epidemiology and pathophysiology, clinical features, radiographic evaluation, management, and complications.

Published: May 2022

Background: The management of vascular wounds is often a complex and prolonged process that impacts individuals’ quality of life, is challenging for clinicians and results in a signiﬁcant ﬁnancial burden to the NHS. UK wound care practices vary considerably perhaps because guidelines and treatment options are frequently based on low levels of clinical and cost effectiveness evidence. Therefore, further research is required but capacity is limited and funding is highly competitive. To address this issue, the Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland (VSGBI) in association with the James Lind Alliance (JLA) undertook a national Priority Setting Process (PSP) for vascular conditions. This paper presents the results of this process, with a focus on the topic of ‘vascular wounds’. Methods: A modiﬁed JLA PSP was implemented in three overarching phases: (1) a clinician-led survey to gather clinician research priorities; (2) a patient and carer-led survey to gather patient and carer research priorities; and (3) a consensus workshop to discuss clinician and patient priorities and agree a list of joint research priorities. Consensus was achieved using nominal group technique and a ranked ‘top 10’ list of research priorities for vascular wounds was established. Results: In the ﬁrst phase (clinician-led survey), 481 clinicians submitted 1,231 research questions related to vascular conditions in general. Of these, 36 wound-speciﬁc research priorities were reduced to three overarching summary questions recirculated for interim scoring. In the second phase (patient and carer-led survey), 373 patients and carers submitted

Published: May 2022

Organisation’s primary focus after recruiting talent employees is to retain them. But in today’s competitive environment, organisation is struggling hard to design a suitable strategy that could improve the retention rate and pulls the turnover rate downward. One such suitable strategy an organisation could be considered of improving employee’s skills by providing training. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the training and development on employee retention and ascertain the extent of influence of training and development on employee retention. The study was carried out by using descriptive research design and adopted stratified random sampling method to collect data. Results suggest that there is a relationship between training and development on employee retention and training has an impact on employee retention.
Power Quality Improvement in Three-Phase Grid Connected Photovoltaic Cells using MMC with Fuzzy Logic Controller
Authors: Kumar Vipin
Published: May 2022

In modular multilevel converter (MMC), the sub modules which perform switching actions, it may produce higher order harmonics when involved with fluctuating capacitor voltages and when it gets superimposed with the circulating currents, it will increase their magnitude which results into increased system losses. In this research work, we have implemented a repetitive control scheme which consists of three components: PI controller, moving average filter and repetitive controller. It is applied to MMC equipped with fuzzy controlled logic, which controls the harmonics by suppressing them up to a significant level. The proposed model is designed for three phase applications and the simulation results clearly define the effectiveness of the control mechanism. Photovoltaic’s (PV) is a method of generating electrical power by converting sunlight into direct current electricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. A photovoltaic system employs solar panels composed of a number of solar cells to supply usable solar power. Power generation from solar PV has long been seen as a clean sustainable [1] energy technology which draws upon the planet’s most plentiful and widely distributed renewable energy source – the sun. The direct conversion of sunlight to electricity occurs without any moving parts or environmental emissions during operation.

AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM BY USING AN IR SENSOR
Authors: More Radhika
Published: May 2022

-The objective is to design an Accident Prevention System by using an Automatic braking system which helps in preventing/ avoiding accidents. It has been observed that major accidents happen due to the drowsy state of the driver. when the driver is unable to control the vehicle in that state i.e., a sleepy state. By using an IR sensor, it is easy to recognize the blinking frequency or the driver. An IR-based eye blink sensor is installed in the vehicle. If the system detects the drowsy condition of the driver, then the system will give a buzzer or alarm signal and the speed of the vehicle is reduced and braking will happen. The technology, we used here is Arduino NANO, LM293D motor driver IC, and EYE BLINK SENSOR for the effective function of automatic braking systems. This complete system can be installed in the vehicle and effectively used for automatic braking of the vehicle and control. Key Words: Arduino Nano, LM293D Motor driver IC, Eye Blink Sensor, blinking frequency, IR (Infrared),

This article aims to relate the impact of ageing, social isolation, or loneliness on the health and well-being of elderlies in Thailand and India, and measures of intervention through social care and integration to reduce the negative impact while promoting participation to lead to active and healthy ageing among ageing elderlies. Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interview questions from 24 participants, 80 years and above, 12 each from Imphal City of Manipur State, India, and Nakhon Pathom Province of Thailand. The city or province of the study was selected according to the convenience of the researchers. In-depth interviews with key informants, including 4 administrators from India and Thailand, were also conducted. The analysis of the collected data found intervention activities, individually as well as in groups, such as networking with the local people, the establishment of an elderly school which is needed to be taken up by family and society for bringing productive and active ageing. As loneliness or isolation, due to immobility and fewer social contacts, has impacted the health, and longevity of elderlies, the study discusses a wide range of intervention strategies consisting of social facilitation, community approach, socio-religious engagement, health, and social care. This study has concluded with the need for organized appropriate long-term intervention strategies to create meaningful social contacts and connections, for loneliness and social isolation in the life of the elderly is not a phenomenon that can be ignored any longer as it has many impacts on the quality of life of the ageing population.

The prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) has increased since the onset of COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 336 married women were randomly selected and interviewed face-to-face using a structured questionnaire adapted from the World Health Organisation (WHO) multi-country questionnaire. The main objective was to determine the prevalence and associated factors of IPV during the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis found an increase in IPV prevalence from 10.7% before Movement Control Order (MCO) to 14.9% during MCO. Multivariate analysis (MVA) revealed unemployed partners (AOR = 10.70), smoking partners (AOR = 5.36), partners' previous experience of violence (AOR = 1.05), partners' positive controlling behaviour (AOR = 0.95), and informal social control (AOR = 0.97) appeared to be significant predictors of IPV before MCO. However, the unemployed partners were 15.59 times more likely to perpetrate IPV during MCO. The probability of partners’ previous experience of violence, partners’ positive controlling behaviour, and informal social control was almost the same as before MCO. The increase in IPV prevalence during the COVID-19 pandemic had an unintended impact, especially in gender-based violence, which requires a comprehensive programme to mitigate the aforementioned situation.
Central Asia’s Challenging Prospects for Regional Cooperation: External Advocacy and Local Inactivity
Authors: Ploberger Christian
Published: May 2022

While Central Asia is widely recognised as a region, we cannot identify an indigenous regional cooperation process. Whereas from an outside perspective, one may assume the existence of a strong regional cohesion, this is not the case when taking a view from within the region. So far, an indigenous Central Asia regional cooperation process is largely missing, even CAREC may provide a first attempt for an indigenous regional cooperation process. Instead, regional cooperation processes are based on great-power strategies, with Russia and China taking on prominent roles, though we can identify clear differences in their approaches as Russia’s EEU focuses on a closed economic sphere, whereas China’s BRI favours an open process. The implications are, that, for the foreseeable future, the likelihood that we can observe a process of regional cooperation, originating from within the region, is rather doubtful.
The Role of Institutions in Women’s Entrepreneurial Performance

Published: May 2022

Women entrepreneurs play a crucial role in employment creation and societal and economic development. However, in developing economies like Pakistan, women entrepreneurs' contribution lags behind that in developed ones. Thus, the current study aims to explore the institution's impact on women's entrepreneurial performance in Pakistan by targeting institutional theory. The quantitative-based study focused on women entrepreneurs working in Peshawar, Mardan, and Abbottabad divisions. The simple random sampling technique collects primary data through an adopted 7-point Likert scale research questionnaire. The collected data is empirically tested through the path analysis technique of structural equation modeling (SEM) through SmartPLS 3. The study results indicated that formal and informal institutions positively affect women's entrepreneurial performance. The study suggests that government and concerned departments should pay dire attention to determinants like financial constraints, corruption, and social constraints to boost women's entrepreneurial performance. The presented novel work of this study paved foundations in the theoretical literature that acquired researchers’ dire attention to deeply dig-out institutional determinants, i.e., financial constraints, corruption, and social constraints, to boost women's entrepreneurial performance.
