Authors: Dalen Luna Pieter van , Morales Galarza Marco
Published: November 2024

Durante las excavaciones del año 2021 en los sectores meridionales del complejo arqueológico de Cajamarquilla se identificó en medio de un área de tránsito (pasadizo) del sector Jiménez Borja, un pozo con evidencias de inundaciones por huaicos en varios momentos, destacando el hallazgo de un contexto funerario de una joven en las capas superiores. Al parecer este individuo fue colocado en esta área a fin de pedir a las divinidades como ofrenda el cese de estos desastres naturales. Estos datos profundizan la información acerca de las prácticas funerarias en el centro urbano de Cajamarquilla y el valle medio del río Rímac.
Importancia y uso del camote en las sociedades andinas prehispánicas
Authors: Mota Labán Miguel Antonio
Published: November 2024

El camote o batata es una enredadera perenne cultivada anualmente en las regiones más cálidas del Viejo y del Nuevo Mundo, su vital importancia alimenticia se debe a sus raíces reservantes llenas de almidón, siendo una fuente importante de nutrientes. En el Perú se puede cultivar en la Costa, los valles interandinos y la Amazonía. Surge un debate con respecto a su centro de domesticación, uno que hasta el día de hoy no se ha aclarado del todo y está puesto a cambios, como la historia del cacao con la investigación de Quirino Olivera en Montegrande.
Los antiguos: espacios funerarios prehispánicos en la quebrada de Río Seco-Carnacha, Huarochirí
Authors: Bravo Meza Bradymir B. , Saravia Yataco Jose , Mendoza Tomairo Alexandra , Littledale Sylvie Diana
Published: November 2024

La evidencia de tumbas prehispánica en Gatero, Mayguayqui, Gavilanera y Sacasanche sugieren una tradición funeraria de tipo machay, en apogeo en la quebrada alta de Río Seco-Carnacha durante el Horizonte Medio y extendida para el Intermedio Tardío. La presencia de chullpas en los alrededores del pueblo de Llancha y la presencia de traumas y trepanaciones craneales en los machay sugieren tiempos de conflicto y la probable llegada de los “invasores serranos” prehispánicos en la quebrada de Río Seco-Carnacha hacia finales del Horizonte Medio e inicios del Intermedio Tardío. Lo mismo que la “interpretación” arqueológica, la presencia de estas tumbas prehispánicas ha generado una oralidad explicativa propia sobre la evidencia cultural arqueológica que da cuenta del entendimiento del pasado en las comunidades de Chinchina y Llancha, habitantes de las cabeceras de la Quebrada de Carnacha.
El Amana Harakbut. El “rostro”, un lugar sagrado en la amazonia de Madre de Dios, Perú.
Authors: Echevarría López Gori-Tumi
Published: November 2024

El amana o sitio sagrado de la nación Harakbut, una gran roca con forma de rostro humano,ubicado en la amazonia peruana, constituye parte del constructo ideológico y visual de estepueblo, y es, en la actualidad, uno de los elementos más relevantes de su revalorizaciónsocial, patrimonial y territorial. Esta roca fue examinada por el autor el año 2015,concluyéndose que no fue el producto de manufactura humana sino el resultado de unproceso de modificación geomorfológica. Este hecho corrobora la antigua apropiación de lanaturaleza y el paisaje hecha por los harakbuts, lo que le da al sitio un extraordinario valorhistórico y cultural.
Revistas académicas especializadas en Arqueología en el Perú
Authors: Urbizagástegui-Alvarado Rubén
Published: November 2024

Se encontraron 86 revistas de arqueología peruanas publicadas hasta diciembre de 2021.
Las revistas más antiguas comenzaron a ser publicadas en 1923, siendo Julio C. Tello y Horacio Urteaga sus iniciadores. La mayoría de estas revistas son publicadas en el Departamento de Lima y la mayoría desaparecen antes de alcanzar los 5 años. La mayoría también publican volúmenes o números limitados antes de desaparecer definitivamente.
Estas revistas crecen a una tasa del 3.3% al año, significando un lento crecimiento en comparación a otras áreas del conocimiento. Sin embargo, tienden a desaparecer rápidamente pues la tasa de mortalidad alcanza al 20% por cada 100 revistas.

El imperio Huari: ¿mito o realidad?
Authors: Onofre Mayta José
Published: November 2024

Generalmente en el Horizonte Medio en el área andina, donde el aspecto económico , social y político no estaba centralizado por un ente estatal, las poblaciones vivían en un patrón arquitectónico disperso y de manera aislada. La aglutinación se daba en los sitios de traza rectilineales y/o ortogonales de gran envergadura o monumentales que son denominados Centros Ceremoniales o Templos y que eran también Centros en donde se daba culto a sus antepasados y que son representaciones físicas del poder ideológico, en donde eran habitadas únicamente por sacerdotes prehispánicos, esto se convirtió en un símbolo de poder donde incluían la participación de la población periférica y anónima en la estructura de poder. Como sabemos lo religioso está intrínsecamente ligado a lo político, en ese sentido, el jefe-sacerdote o solo jefes que cumplían roles también de gobierno en muchos casos como líderes deificados, que le hizo obtener una posición de poder fáctico que exigía su presencia durante las ceremonias y en conflictos locales a tomar decisiones. Estos líderes religiosos establecen alianzas y relaciones políticas e ideológicas de manera local y foránea.
Al lado de estos hechos el Horizonte Medio es uno de los periodos más confusos y pobremente entendidos en la historia peruana. El mecanismo fundamental, la difusión de los estilos del Horizonte Medio es problemática. Los arqueólogos una vez hablaron de un “Imperio Tiahuanaco” pero eventualmente desecharon la idea a favor de una pacífica difusión religiosa. Más aún, los investigadores han argumentado que las ideas religiosas de Tiahuanaco fueron llevadas por el imperio militarista de Huari en la Cuenca de Ayacucho.
Hay algunos errores serios en esta teoría. Por una parte, los centros administrativos imperiales del supuesto “Imperio Huari” han sido elusivos perniciosamente, y ninguno ha sido encontrado fuera de la inmediata vecindad del mismo Huari. Por otro lado, fuera de la Sierra Sur la cerámica Huari de Ayacucho es relativamente rara y casi nunca aparece en sitios habitacionales o en basurales aldeanos, como si sucede enla época del Tawantinsuyo.

The object of research is neural networks, the VKontakte platform, the Telegram messenger, the Python programming language and its libraries, and a block diagram of a computer system model. The subject of the study is a computer technology for detecting extremist content in text form and specific groups containing it on the VKontakte social network. The authors consider in detail the structural scheme of the computer system model, the functional modules included in it, and illustrate their interaction. The paper uses a pre-trained model designed for processing the Russian language, and provides conditions for ensuring high accuracy of recognition of illegal content without signs of retraining. The paper presents the results of checking the test data confirming the operability of the computer system. The proposed prototype of the computer system ensures its integration with the Telegram messenger, which increases usability and facilitates the process of generating queries and reports. The novelty of the research lies in the creation of a prototype of a computer system for searching and detecting extremist messages on the VKontakte social network using the Python programming language and the VKontakte API programming interface (VK API). The basis of the prototype computer system is a neural network that works with the Тгаnsformers and Тоrch. A special feature of the computer system is the ability to analyze messages on a social network and subject them to binary classification for the content or non-content of illegal information in messages. The main conclusions of the study show the efficiency of the system, the simplicity and convenience of its use, the possibility of detecting illegal text content. A distinctive feature of the prototype is the ability to detect illegal content presented using slang expressions.
Peculiarities of establishing certain circumstances to be proved in the investigation of crimes under Article 106 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation
Authors: Dulepina Ol'ga Viktorovna , Vlez'ko Dmitrii Aleksandrovich , Demenkov Vladimir Aleksandrovich
Published: November 2024

The authors of this study have considered in detail such aspects of the topic under study as problems arising in the qualification of the corpus delicti provided for in Article 106 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, namely: the influence of the presence or absence of a traumatic situation and the time of its occurrence during the investigation of the murder of a newborn child by a mother, and the importance of the role of forensic experts in establishing these facts. From the list of these problems, complications also follow in the practical activities of law enforcement agencies and courts, which can be traced in the analysis of the results of judicial practice. Thus, the subject of this investigation covers a number of problems of legislative regulation, which are directly projected onto the law enforcement activities of the investigative bodies. In this work, such methods as comparative legal, analytical and other general and private scientific methods are used. A special contribution of the authors to the study of this topic is the research of the specifics of establishing certain circumstances to be proved during the investigation of the murder of a newborn child by a mother: the presence of a traumatic situation or mental disorder in the subject of the crime, the moment of causing death, the fact of a newborn. The main attention of the work is paid to the difficulties associated with legislative gaps in the regulation of Article 106 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which explains the need to specify the time frame and other concepts applied by the legislator in this article. The role of circumstances affecting the mental state of the mother for the process of proving a criminal case is substantiated. In the course of the study, legal gaps and other imperfections of existing norms were identified, which lead to uncertainty in the actions of law enforcement officials, and ways of their possible solution were proposed.
Corpo de vento: Exu da teoria: travessias crítico-performativas pelas artes negras

Structural and functional insights into Cdc45 recruitment by Sld7– Sld3 for CMG complex formation
Authors: Li Hao , Ishizaki Izumi , Kato Koji , Sun XiaoMei , Muramatsu Sachiko , Itou Hiroshi , Ose Toyoyuki , Araki Hiroyuki , Yao Min
Published: November 2024

DNA replication requires Cdc45 and GINS recruitment into the MCM duplex hexamer by initiation factors to form an active helicase, the Cdc45–MCM–GINS (CMG) complex, at the replication origins. The initiation factor Sld3 is a central regulator of Cdc45 and GINS recruitment worked with Sld7 together. However, the mechanism through which Sld3 regulates CMG complex formation remains unclear. Here, we present the structure of the Sld3 Cdc45-binding-domain in complex with Cdc45 (Sld3CBD–Cdc45), showing detailed interactions and conformational changes required for binding to each other. The mutant analysis indicated that the binding between Sld3CBD and Cdc45 could be broken easily. We also revealed that Sld3CBD, GINS, and MCM bind to different sites on Cdc45 in the Sld3CDB–CMG model, indicating that after recruitment of Cdc45, Sld7–Sld3 could remain in Cdc45–MCM until CMG formation. The consistency between the particle size of Sld7–Sld3–Cdc45 and the distance between Sld3CBDs in the Cdc45–MCM dimer indicated the binding manner of the Cdc45–Sld3–[Sld7]
2
–Sld3–Cdc45 off/on MCM duplex hexamer. A DNA-binding assay of Sld3 and its complexes with single-stranded ARS1 fragments revealed a relationship between the dissociation of Sld7–Sld3 from CMG and the unwound single-stranded DNA. These findings help to further our understanding of the molecular basis of regulation of CMG complex formation by Sld3.

Authors: Eppe B. P. , Ghosh A. , Mondal P.
Published: November 2024

This work describes a miniaturized power divider (PD) using the combination of two symmetrical parallel coupled lines (PCL) and a defective microstrip structure (DMS). The proposed PD is intended for 2.4 GHz wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. DMS structures are used to improve PD performance while also decreasing its size. Initially, to reduce the circuit size, quarter-wavelength lines were replaced with PCL’s. It is observed that the size of PD is 0.42λgX0.53λg, representing a 25.3% decrease. Furthermore, four DMS structures are integrated into the design to reduce the overall size by 43% as compared with conventional Wilkinson PD at 2.4 GHz. The final size of PD is 0.35λgX0.47λg. Required equations are provided for the optimization of the DMS structure. The proposed PD has a return loss, isolation performance, and power division of around 16 dB, -15 dB, and -3.3 dB, respectively. The designed PD is fabricated on the substrate of Rogers RT/duroid 5880 with εr=2.2.
Comparative Evaluation of Denture Retention Using Three Border Moulding Techniques: A Non Randomised Clinical Study
Authors: Mary Anne , Nooji Deviprasad , Rao Suhas K
Published: November 2024

Introduction: In complete dentures, the final impression plays a pivotal role in the success of the treatment. Advancements in impression materials have been the primary influence on the evolution of complete denture impression procedures. Aim: To compare and evaluate the retention of complete dentures fabricated on resorbed ridges using three different border moulding techniques. Materials and Methods: This non randomised clinical study was conducted in the Department of Prosthodontics and Crown and Bridge at KVG Dental College and Hospital, Sullia, Karnataka, India. The study included 10 patients with resorbed ridges who sought treatment from the Department of Prosthodontics during the period from January 2022 to December 2023. The study participants were selected from Dakshina Kannada and Kasargod, aged between 40 to 70 years, and included both males and females. For each patient, three custom trays were fabricated. The first tray was used for border moulding with putty and light body impression paste recorded using a Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation (TENS) machine (Group A). The second tray was used for border moulding with putty and light body impression paste (Group B), while the third tray utilised a tissue conditioner as the secondary impression material (Group C). Retention was checked using a force gauge after the secondary impression, and heat-cured dentures were fabricated for each patient. The retention values were statistically analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), with the significance level set at p≤0.05. Results: The measurements indicated significantly higher mean retentive values in Group-A (2.58±0.56 kgf and 2.49±0.99 kgf for the secondary impression and final denture, respectively) compared to the other two groups (p<0.001). Comfort was reported to be better in Group-B. Both Groups A and B exhibited a good fit for the dentures. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study, it can be inferred that border moulding with TENS using polyvinyl siloxane putty and light body secondary impressions provided higher retention compared to functional border moulding using tissue conditioner.

The Moderating Influence of Enterprise Resource Planning on the Relationship between Electronic Order Processing Systems and Supply Chain Performance of Manufacturing Firms in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya
Authors: Chepkemoi Clara , Keitany Pauline , Shitote Zachariah
Published: November 2024

Kenyan manufacturing firms face challenges in supply chain performance, including fierce competition, high production costs, and delayed product availability, requiring improved efficiency and cost-cutting strategies. The aim of this study was to investigate the moderating effect of enterprise resource planning on the relationship between electronic order processing system and supply chain performance among manufacturing firms in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya. The study utilized resource-based theory, explanatory research design, a census approach, and a closed ended questionnaire to collect data from 270 heads of 9 departments in 30 manufacturing firms in Uasin Gishu County. A hierarchical regression model was used to test all the study hypotheses. Results of the control variables indicate that firm age (β=.190, P = .021) significantly influences supply chain performance while firm size (β=.101, P=.223) does not. These control variables explain 4.8% of the variance in supply chain performance (R2 of .048). Furthermore, the electronic order processing system (β=.837, P=.000) and enterprise resource planning (β=0.117, P=.003) significantly influence supply chain performance. Finally, enterprise resource planning moderated the link between electronic order processing system and supply chain performance (β=.132, P =.000). This moderation model indicates an improved R2 of .579 and a change in R2 of .083 implying that all the variables in the study account for 57.9% and 8.3% of the variance in supply chain performance. This study contributes to knowledge by examining the interaction of enterprise resource planning and the study variables. The study suggests that manufacturing firms should adopt electronic order processing systems and ERP to enhance supply chain efficiency. In addition, policymakers and managers should develop policies and strategies that encourage investments in these technologies, as they have been found to influence supply chain performance and competitive advantage.

Published: November 2024

Agriculture is an important sector in the economy of Nigerian. It is a source of employment for a significant number of the population and has been a stimulant in our economic development continuum. Because of these, public policies from independence have focused on it with the aim of promoting food security, provision of agricultural raw materials to the industrial sector, reducing poverty through employment, providing income earning opportunities and foreign exchange. Agro-enterprise is gradually assuming new dimension and scope in many economies and designed to absorb idle hands. Agro-enterprise is an option to adopt to make agriculture appealing in the present contemporary realities and absorb the teeming unemployed hands. The study was specifically a position paper that focussed on agribusiness as a tool to boosting job creation, increases in productivity and the income bases of both farmers and subsidiary business concerns that will develop from opportunities that agriculture offers because a reasonable number of Nigeria’s population are in agriculture and the development of agribusiness will go a long way in reducing unemployment that is visible in the economy, provide food security and grow the economy. However, various constraints such as access to credit and infrastructure among others must be addressed through good policies.

Authors: Kalariya Richa P. , Dudhat Bharat L.
Published: November 2024

In organic farming MVP:MFC ratio for human labour, planting material and irrigation were -7.36, 9.82 and 43.6, respectively which indicated that human labour was over-utilized while planting material and irrigation were under-utilized from the results, we can clearly see that there was ample scope of increasing organic turmeric production by decreasing the quantity of human labour and increasing the quantity of planting material and manure. In case of inorganic turmeric farming MVP:MFC ratio for human labour, planting material, fertilizer and irrigation were -6.31, 11.38, -16.67, 54.33, respectively which indicated that human labour and fertilizer were over-utilized while planting material and irrigation were under-utilized. In case of organic farmers had constrains like stem rotting in turmeric, unavailability of labour, disease management, low availability of organic manures, no alternate of FYM and farmers get low prices, there is a need for a comprehensive framework that integrates organic farming with bottom up responses, technology diffusion with reciprocal knowledge flow from farmers’ institution and their local resources and innovation. While in case of inorganic turmeric farmers had constraints like labour scarcity, lack of co-operative societies, lack of technical guidance.
Statistical Evaluation of the Performance of SVM Kernels for Air Quality Classification: A Case Study on India
Authors: Singh Abhishek , Sunil Jhade , M Manjubala , Jadhav Aaditya , Goyal Abha
Published: November 2024

Air pollution has now become a burning problem in the developing world, particularly in countries like India. Deteriorating air quality has led to a widespread increase in diseases related to the lungs in the population, leading to a stupendous increase in the economic burden on the general populace. Agriculture has also led to an increase in air pollution due to the stubble burning activity of the farmers. Every year in the months of winter, air pollution halts all the social and economic activities of major Indian metro cities. Air quality classification has emerged as one of the most significant research and modeling issues as a result of the significant increase in air pollution. Only if the data are properly classified will it be feasible to reduce the impact of air pollution on human health. Accurate air quality classification has become crucial for addressing these problems. However, classifying air quality data is challenging due to class imbalances. In this study, we tackle this issue by using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) approach with various kernels. Statistical evaluation showed that the linear kernel performed best with an accuracy of 0.78, followed closely by the radial kernel. These results suggest that SVM with a linear kernel can improve air quality classification, aiding in better preventive measures and emergency responses during severe pollution events.
Bacterial Contamination in Food: Sources, Risks, and Prevention Strategies
Authors: Sunarti Lusia Sri
Published: November 2024

Aims: to revisited the route of microbial contamination of food which can cause morbidity and mortality to vulnerable individuals and how proper food handling practices and specific intervention can prevent it
Discussion: Unsafe foods due to bacterial contamination contribute to morbidity and mortality and the most common causative agent is bacteria such as Salmonella thyphi, Escherichia coli, Campylobacter spp, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium perfringens, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Bacillus cereus. Poor personal hygiene, improper food handling combined with the existence of this opportunistic organisms can facilitate entry for these bacteria to their host. By tightly controlling the environment and other supporting conditions, potentially harmful bacteria will not be able to survive, grow, and multiply, or in other word will never be able to cause definite illness. In the food processing, controlling potentially harmful and potentially dangerous microorganisms is crucial for ensuring food safety and quality. There are six factors that affect bacterial growth, which can be directed to by the mnemonic FATTOM, namely Food source, Acid, Temperature, Time, Oxygen and Moisture. The implications of understanding microbial contamination for public health and its food safety regulations could minimize the risk of bacterial contamination in food.

Sensory quality encompasses the various characteristics of a product that add value for both buyers and consumers. Consumers prefer fruits that are visually appealing, firm and have good flavour and nutritional value. On the other hand, producers and handlers prioritize the appearance and texture of the fruit as well as its ability to maintain quality of the fruits. The experiment was conducted at the College of Agriculture, Ummedganj Kota, Rajasthan over two growing seasons (2021-22 and 2022-23) to assess the effects of spacing and plant growth regulators on the organoleptic quality of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) cv. Winter Dawn. The hedonic sensory evaluation rating for organoleptic tests indicated that maximum score for colour (7.41), flavour (7.58), taste (7.77) and general appearance (7.84) was recorded under S2 (30 cm ×30 cm). In terms of plant growth regulators (PGRs), maximum effect on organoleptic quality for colour (8.85), flavour (8.72), taste (8.65) and general appearance (8.49) was recorded under treatment treated with SA at 100 ppm. Moreover, in interaction effect treatment combination of S2+SA100 ppm (30 cm ×30 cm + Salicylic acid at 100 ppm) obtained a higher and more favourable score of colour (8.87), flavour (8.74), taste (8.86) and general appearance (8.65), respectively. It can be concluded that a plant spacing of 30 cm × 30 cm combined with a 100 ppm Salicylic acid treatment produces optimal results in terms of sensory quality parameters.
The Role of Corporate Social Responsibility in Advancing Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights: Legal Frameworks and Multinational Perspectives
Authors: Aghdam Ali Javadi
Published: November 2024

The legal basis for corporate social responsibility, especially for transnational corporations, is rooted in international law and the domestic laws of some countries. It outlines voluntary measures by companies towards society and their stakeholders in general. In international law, the position of corporate social responsibility focuses more on the fulfillment of social responsibilities by transnational companies and foreign investors. Many developing countries lack comprehensive legal frameworks that mandate CSR practices. This can lead to inconsistent application of CSR principles and a lack of accountability for businesses. It is part of soft law related to businesses customary rules with procedural aspects. It derived from the laws produced by international organizations such as the United Nations, the International Labour Organization, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Also it is made of common practice among companies. In domestic law, the institution of social responsibility includes specific regulations regarding the responsibilities of national and multinational companies. On the other hand, corporate social responsibility serves as a bridge between economic international law and human rights law and has a direct relationship with human rights norms, especially the progressive realization of economic and social rights, contributing to sustainable development and the right to development of nations. Due to the limited public resources of governments, especially in developing countries, it seems that corporate social responsibility can be a suitable source for financing and implementing development projects that are not inherently economically justifiable. This research, in a descriptive-analytical manner, focuses on the role of legal corporate social responsibility in international and domestic law, as well as the positive impact of fulfilling corporate social responsibility on the realization of economic, social, and cultural rights in developing countries. This research aims to provide recommendations and identify the role and legal basis of corporate social responsibility, as well as to determine its role in economic development and the realization of the second generation of human rights in developing countries. In this article, descriptive-analytical approach was used which is a research methodology that combines two key components: descriptive research and analytical research.
Solution‐Processed Bilayer Dielectrics for Flexible Low‐Voltage Organic Field‐Effect Transistors in Pressure‐Sensing Applications

Published: July 2018

Flexible pressure sensors based on organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs) have emerged as promising candidates for electronic‐skin applications. However, it remains a challenge to achieve low operating voltages of hysteresis‐free flexible pressure sensors. Interface engineering of polymer dielectrics is a feasible strategy toward sensitive pressure sensors based on low‐voltage OFETs. Here, a novel type of solution‐processed bilayer dielectrics is developed by combining a thick polyelectrolyte layer of polyacrylic acid (PAA) with a thin poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) layer. This bilayer dielectric can provide a vertical phase separation structure from hydrophilic interface to hydrophobic interface which adjoins well to organic semiconductors, leading to improved stability and remarkably reduced leakage currents. Consequently, OFETs using the PMMA/PAA dielectrics reveal greatly suppressed hysteresis and improved mobility compared to those with a pure PAA dielectric. Using the optimized PMMA/PAA dielectric, flexible OFET‐based pressure sensors that show a record high sensitivity of 56.15 kPa−1 at a low operating voltage of −5 V, a fast response time of less than 20 ms, and good flexibility are further demonstrated. The salient features of high capacitance, good dielectric performance, and excellent reliability of the bilayer dielectrics promise a bright future of flexible sensors based on low‐voltage OFETs for wearable electronic applications.
Precision medicine: why surgeons deviate from “appropriateness criteria” in the management of chronic rhinosinusitis and effects on outcomes

Published: July 2018

Background

In uncomplicated chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), a consensus regarding appropriate medical therapy (AMT) before surgical intervention has been published in the form of “appropriateness criteria” for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). We sought to determine why tertiary surgeons may deviate from the suggested criteria and evaluated whether those deviations result in change in outcomes.

Methods

Patients with uncomplicated CRS were prospectively enrolled over the course of 1 year. The 22‐item Sino‐Nasal Outcomes Test (SNOT‐22), a general health outcome out of 100, and a physician form, indicating management pathway and decision making, was completed at each visit over a 6‐month follow‐up period. A descriptive analysis was used to quantify reasons for veering from the “appropriateness criteria,” and repeated linear regression modeling was used to measure whether compliance impacted SNOT‐22, general health, and Lund‐Kennedy (LK) scores over the period of study.

Results

One hundred fifty‐five patients were enrolled. Sixty‐eight percent followed the appropriate management pathway based on their presentation and the suggested criteria. Disparate reasons were documented for deviation in the other 32%, and, despite establishing several predictive categories, “other” was the most common reason, with various explanations well documented. SNOT‐22, general health, and LK scores were not statistically impacted by compliancy status (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

The suggested “appropriateness criteria” predict a management pathway for the majority of CRS patients. However, in a tertiary sinus center, surgeons may deviate from that model with a significant minority of their patients, for multiple reasons, without causing a change in outcomes.
Robust Stabilization and H∞ Control of Cooperative Driving System with Time Delay in Variable Speed‐Limited Area from Cyber‐Physical Perspective

Published: July 2018

In order to suppress traffic congestion and reduce traffic accidents, a cooperative driving systems with time‐varying delay and nonlinearity under uncertain external disturbances in a variable speed‐limited area is proposed from a cyber‐physical perspective. Robust stabilization of the cooperative driving system is investigated by using Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional stability theory. Robust H∞ control is designed to guarantee that the proposed system is robustly stable. Meanwhile, sufficient conditions for the state feedback controller are proposed to attenuate the external disturbances on the basis of linear matrix inequality. Finally, some useful results are obtained from the comparisons between without control scheme, existing ACC (adaptive cruise control) scheme, and the proposed control scheme, which could suppress traffic congestion and reduce traffic accidents.

Background

The benefits of high transfusion ratios (plasma to red blood cells and platelets to red blood cells) on survival in injured patients who receive massive transfusions remain uncertain. This study aimed to assess the association between transfusion ratios and adverse events and survival in patients undergoing massive transfusion for major trauma.

Methods

A retrospective observational study was conducted on patients who had major trauma using a Japanese national administrative database. The associations between transfusion ratios and outcomes (in-hospital mortality and incidence of adverse events) were analysed using a non-linear logistic generalized additive model (GAM). In a logistic generalized estimating equation model, adjusted for patient and hospital-level confounders, transfusion ratios were included as continuous or categorical variables (low, transfusion ratio 0·75 or less; intermediate, over 0·75 to 1·25; high, over 1·25).

Results

Some 1777 patients were included in the analysis, of whom 602 died in hospital. GAM plots of the transfusion ratios for in-hospital mortality demonstrated a downward convex unimodal curve. In-hospital mortality was similar with increasing transfusion ratios for plasma (adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1·13, 95 per cent c.i. 0·82 to 1·55; P = 0·446) and platelets (adjusted OR 0·84, 0·66 to 1·08; P = 0·171). Both plasma to red blood cell ratio (adjusted OR 1·77, 1·32 to 2·37; P < 0·001) and platelet to red blood cell ratio (adjusted OR 1·71, 1·35 to 2·15; P < 0·001) were significantly associated with a higher incidence of adverse events. No significant differences in in-hospital mortality were observed between the three transfusion categories (low, medium and high).

Conclusion

In this study, transfusion strategies with high plasma to red blood cell and platelet to red blood cell ratios did not have survival benefits, but were associated with an increase in adverse events.
