Features of the cardiovascular system in newborns, carrying out the cerebral ischemia
Authors: Uzunova Anna N. , Nazarova Maria V.
Published: May 2022

Aim. To identify the features of the function of the cardiovascular system in newborns with cerebral ischemia (CI) of hypoxic origin.
Materials and methods. In the neurological department of the children's hospital in 64 newborns coming from maternity hospitals with CI, a clinical and instrumental examination confirmed the diagnosis of CI of hypoxic origin after excluding structural damage to cardiomyocytes, infectious, traumatic and dysmetabolic causes of its occurrence; 12.2% of children were diagnosed with CI of easy degree, 81.2% CI of moderate severity; the control group consisted of 24 healthy full-term children, comparable in age. All patients were examined by a pediatric cardiologist with an electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiographic ultrasound screening assessment of the heart (ECHO-CG), Holter electrocardiogram monitoring, cardiointervalography.
Results. In newborns, who underwent CI, there is a higher heart rate, more often there is a single supraventricular extrasystole. Bradycardia with heart rate less than 100 beats/min, sino-atrial block II degree, atrioventricular block II degree were recorded only in newborns after CI. According to ECHO-CG data, a hypokinetic type of hemodynamics takes place in newborns with CI. A decrease in cardiac output reflects a narrowing of the adaptive range of its regulation. In every second child with CI, homeostasis is achieved by a sharp overstrain of the autonomic nervous system regulatory systems, which is most likely based on a shift in regulation from the reflex vegetative to the humoral-metabolic type. As the severity of CI progresses, depletion of reserves to support reflex and humoral homeostasis has been established.
Conclusion. In connection with the revealed clinical and instrumental features of the cardiovascular system, newborns with CI who came under the supervision of pediatricians at children's clinics, at the age of one month, in addition to a neurological examination, an examination of a pediatric cardiologist with an ECG is shown. If, according to ECG data, heart rhythm and conduction abnormalities, fluctuations in the duration of the QT interval are detected, CI and/or HM-ECG are indicated to determine further observation tactics.

Diseases of the cardiovascular system are one of the main causes of morbidity, disability and mortality. One of the most significant risk factors for their development is atherogenic dyslipidemia. Atherosclerotic vascular damage occurs long before clinical manifestation and often begins to progress as early as childhood. This is why children represent the most important cohort for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases of atherosclerotic genesis. Studies show that taking ₃-polyunsaturated fatty acids reduces the risk of atherosclerotic vascular disease in adults and children. The effect is achieved by multidirectional effects on risk factors such as insulin resistance, obesity, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, arterial hypertension, inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. In children with primary dyslipidemia (heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia) taking ₃-polyunsaturated fatty acids leads to normalization of serum triglycerides and a moderate decrease in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The most significant therapeutic and prophylactic effects are observed in patients with secondary dyslipidemias caused by obesity and diabetes mellitus, when, besides the decrease in triglycerides and the increase in HDL cholesterol, ₃-polyunsaturated fatty acids increase the insulin sensitivity of cells and tissue, body weight reduction, increase in muscle mass, stabilization of blood pressure and improvement of liver function are observed. Considering pleiotropic protective effect and good tolerability, ₃-polyunsaturated fatty acids can be widely used for primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases in children and adolescents.
Choline deficiency in the body, clinical manifestations and long-term consequences
Authors: Zakharova Irina N. , Berezhnaya Irina V. , Sgibneva Aleksandra I.
Published: May 2022

Choline, a substance essential for the existence of any organism, is the basis for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, the two main phospholipids of cell membranes. Acetylcholine is the main neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system, i.e. part of the autonomic nervous system. It affects smooth muscles, vascular wall tone, heart rate and regulates metabolism as a source of methyl groups. Choline enters the body through food and is partially synthesized endogenously. Choline plays an important role in gene expression, cell membrane signalling, lipid transport and metabolism, and early infant brain development. Choline deficiency increases the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Current scientific evidence suggests a negative effect of choline deficiency on the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Choline deficiency is associated with impaired memory, concentration, and cognitive functions. This article deals with the mechanisms of choline influence on the organism and possibility of choline deficiency correction in the organism.

DIGITALIZATION OF INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE IN NEPAL – REVIEW ARTICLE
Authors: Ghimire Prakriti
Published: May 2022

This article strives to explore the need of digitalization of indigenous knowledge for socio economic development and its effective management. The best use of natural resources is aided by the indigenous practices providing invaluable knowledge. In these modern days of technological advancement, it is seen that this knowledge is often being ignored. Naturally rich countries like Nepal, which holds innumerable counts of Indigenous practices, no any considerable efforts have been seen to understand the scientific basis of this knowledge. Studies have shown that most of the world’s natural resources, along with digitally born resources have been vanished and due to neglectism, some cannot even be recovered. So, in order to provide long term preservation and global access to Indigenous Knowledge, digitalization can be viewed as a remarkable tool. The introduction of new technology and communication channels are changing the way how we gain knowledge. Many of us are considered to be living in a digital age, this era however is having an effect on cultural/traditional/indigenous knowledge and create new challenges for indigenous communities. Documentation and digitalization of Indigenous knowledge should be included in the curricula of environment and sustainable development as a cross-cutting issue.

Published: May 2022

Porosity is a common phenomenon in fabricated parts, which cause stress concentration and leads to yielding, brittle fraction and fatigue of structures which makes porosity recognition and analyzing very important to increase efficiency and decrease the defects of manufactured parts. Many researches have been done in order to detecting and recognizing pores of material by different numerical and experimental methods. In this paper, an algorithm is developed in order to detect the porosity of thin section images automatically and prioritize them for a semi-automatically prediction of yielding position. The algorithm results is the following parameters in a porous material: number of pores, position and size of pores, maximum and minimum distances of pores both from each other and from boundaries. The algorithm shows an accuracy of 83% in the prediction of the results for simulated finite element method (FEM) tensile tests, which makes the algorithm creditable to be used as a non-destructive testing method.

Published: May 2022

There is an increasing demand for autonomous tracking applications in the industrial context which ranges from driver monitoring in semi-autonomous vehicles to human-robot interaction (HRI) to facilitate situational awareness in collaborative robots. In order to address the same, a system to track the human face in real-time has been developed and the system is capable of moves accordingly so that the face always remains in the range of visibility of the autonomous system. The system consists of open-source hardware and software to design the Tracking Algorithms which utilizes the Extended Kalman Filters (EKF) at its core. In addition to the basic model, this paper uses a hybrid model, implemented using both Extended Kalman Filters and Viola Jones in conjunction with Iterative Learning Control (ILC) intelligent tuning of PID loop. Performance evaluation of the system has been done in Solidworks and MATLAB. The proposed model with two different control methodologies along with the modified Extended Kalman Filter and Viola Jones Based algorithm has a shorter delay time and produced stable responses over traditional viola jones wavelets based approach.

Published: May 2022

Watersheds are acknowledged as a paramount form of green substructure that provides us with important services like; drinking water, irrigation water, fodder/forage, pebbles/boulders, and timber including recreational, regulating, and other available services. The hills and mountains of Nepal are the watershed areas with the most fragile ecosystem and poor agricultural potential, as more than 15% of the total population of the country and 13% of the total land area is covered by Chure that has fragile ranges of hills. Hence, it can’t be denied from the fact that many of Nepal’s watersheds are in a state of physical and biological deterioration where landslides, soil erosion, floods, biodiversity loss, unsustainable water extraction, and farming practices are among the major issues leading towards watershed degradation. Therefore, proper strategies like developing stream and rainwater harvesting programs, strict implementation of EIA, IEE, adoption of SALT technology for income generation, etc. needs to be prioritized based on the principles of integrated watershed management while planning, monitoring & implementing soil and watershed management.
REGIONAL CLIMATIC RESPONSE TO GLOBAL WARMING AND AGRICULTURE IN PAKISTAN

Published: May 2022

Human-induced anthropogenic variations cause a significant change in the local climate, which in turn lead to variations in different climatic regions. The effects of global warming have wide spatial variability, feedback of climate change, like, surface temperature towards precipitation, surface, and subsurface runoff are critical. As the climate, variability is critically important for nature and society, especially if it increases in amplitude and fluctuations become more persistent. However, the issues of weather surface temperature is changing, and if so, whether this has a positive or negative impact on precipitation, surface and ground runoff, and theirs distinguish response to different climate classes, are subjects of ongoing debate. The current research is mainly concerned with distinguishing the response of surface temperature on the precipitation, storm surface run off, and subsurface runoff on different climate classes over the mainland of Pakistan, for a time duration of 71 years, from 1948–2018. Here, we used monthly based two sets of GLDAS (Global Data Assimilation System) datasets i.e. GLDAS-2.0 (1948-2010) and GLDAS-2.1 (2011-2018) having the spatial resolution of 0.25°×0.25° for surface temperature, precipitation, and runoff. While, for regional based climatic classification, Köppen Grignard climate classification map was used. The spatial-temporal trend of all the involving parameters has been estimated using Mann-Kendall’s trend. Spatial-temporal variation in the precipitation, surface temperature, and runoff fluctuations have been detected in different climatic regions. We showed that annually based variability of surface temperature has positive feedback over the surface runoff over the entire region as well as different climate regions of Pakistan. Despite the declining precipitation trend, the temperature seems to be a major cause of the melting of glaciers leading to an increase in the runoff. Based on our findings of established trends and corresponding mechanistic ‘feedback’ we hypothesize that increasing temperature might risk severe water shortage and cause disastrous floods in the future. Furthermore, different climatic zoning’s surface temperature variability contributed to observed variation in the precipitation, surface, and subsurface runoff variability, which in turn contributed to the persistent droughts. Changes in surface temperature and their impact on precipitation and runoff deliver valued evidence for understanding the region’s sensitivity over the entire region in Pakistan.

Published: May 2022

Lower Bari Doab Canal is the oldest irrigation system, however LBDC inequitably distribute the water from head to tail end. Spatial climate variability across the command area of LBDC has impact on reallocation of canal water supply and usage of irrigated water from head end to the tail end. The irrigation demand is increased with the increasing of cropping intensity due to increase of population, hence the surface water supply and rainfall do not fulfilled the crop water requirement then farmer abstracted more groundwater for fulfilled these requirement. At the tail end of LBDC, farmer extracted more water is causing groundwater mining due to lack of technical knowledge related to the management of groundwater. Now to management of this problem using simulation water balance approached from the data 2017- 2018 year. The water balance result show that total inflow in to system is 8197.13MCM from considering the parameter of recharge is 4006.278 MCM, supply from the canal is 4190.85 MCM but the total annual outflow is 18487.872 MCM from considering the parameter of evapotranspiration and groundwater abstraction. The change in water storage is (-10290.74MCM). The future scenarios result show that Scenario1: Due to climate change and uneven rainfall my cause to the now condition of groundwater and canal is not fulfill the crop water requirement. Scenario 2: Due to increase of groundwater the water table abstraction more decline at the end of the tail as compared to the head, the water abstraction falling at the 2.06m as compared to the head end 1.2m from the year 2017-2018 then it also effect on the water balance (-1131.31 MCM) to (- 12812.44). The result suggested that to manage the canal water supply, to build the storage system from saving the water at head end then to easily provide this to tail end and to avoid those crops which required more irrigation water and to use the artificial technique for the recharge of groundwater.

Published: May 2022

Thirteen Early Paleogene Pakistanian smaller Miliolid and eight Lagenid benthic foraminiferal species and subspecies from the Ranikot and Laki Formations of the Nammal Gorge, Salt and Sor Ranges, Punjab of Northern Pakistan have been studied. The modern taxonomic consideration and systematic description of the species is based on the diagnostic morphology, and provides a list of synonyms, short remarks about morphological features of the taxa and some annotations about taxa with problematic generic status. Two species of them belong to the genus Spiroloculina(haquei, pakistanica), four of Quinqueloculina (inflata, pseudosimplex, pseudovata, ranikotensis), two of Triloculina (psudoenoplostoma, sarahae), two of Agglutinella (reinemundi, sori) and three of Dentostomina (ammobicarinata, ammoirregularis, gapperi). One species of the Lagenid belongs to the genus Frondicularia (nammalensis), one of Lenticulina (reussi), one subspecies of Palmula (woodi nammalensis), one of Astacolus (vomeriformis), one of Vaginulinopsis (nammalensis), one of Lagena (reticulatostriata), one of Galawayella (nammalensis) and one of Parafissurina (pakistanica). The two species of the Miliolids: Spiroloculina (haquei, pakistanica) and one Lagenid Parafissurina (pakistanica) are believed to be new. Some of these species are recorded outside of Pakistan in Northern Tethys (France): Astacolus vomeriformis and Vaginulinopsis nammalensis. The high abundance of pelagic Pakistanian foraminiferal assemblage indicate open connection to the Tethys, which represents middle-outer neritic environment (100-200 m depth) and shows an affinity with ‘Midway-Type Fauna’.

Published: May 2022

Ramsar sites are important habitats for the locals as well as for migratory birds that visit these sites across the borders every year. Langh and Drigh lakes were selected as the study area for this research. Drigh Lake is one of the important Ramsar sites, and Langh Lake is an important wildlife sanctuary of national importance. For the past few decades, these lakes are degrading due to anthropogenic activities. To quantify these variations, present study was carried out to detect the land use and land cover change in these lakes and their surrounding areas from 1988 to 2020. Level-2 imageries of Landsat 5, 7, and 8 were downloaded and analyzed using hybrid classification, and results were mapped in ArcMap. Accuracy assessment of the results of selected years was done to check the accuracy of results using the Kappa coefficient. Kappa coefficient resulted between 0.82 and 0.95 for this study. Classification results depicted a significant increase in the vegetation area which is 72% and 32% for langh and drigh lakes respectively since 1988. Results show an increase in the buildup area and a decrease in the barren land. The presence of dense vegetation in the lakes near their boundaries verifies encroachment of lakes by the local farmers.

THE IMPACT OF URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARIES IN MELBOURNE ON URBAN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Lu Jie , Liu Chaojie , Buxton Michael
Published: May 2022

The consensus of using the compact city as a model for urban sustainable development has inevitably led to governments restricting outer urban expansion as an urban management tool. Urban growth boundaries (UGBs) have become one of the most widely used policy tools to achieve this goal. To evaluate the impact of UGBs on urban sustainable development in Melbourne, Australia, we compare the temporal and spatial changes of population, dwelling density, and growth before and after the implementation of the UGB policy in the Melbourne metropolitan area. The results indicate that, since the implementation of the UGB policy, the urban population, dwelling density, and growth have significantly accelerated; however, nearly half of the new population is located on the urban fringe. Based on the pressure of population growth, the UGB in Melbourne has been adjusted frequently, which has reduced its binding force on urban growth. Herein, we focus on the reasons for amendments to the Melbourne UGB, namely, urban density and the intensity of urban land use and compare the UGB policies of the Melbourne and Portland, Oregon (USA), metropolitan areas. We argue that the state government should restrict urban growth boundaries and increase urban density. At the same time, UGB policy must be coordinated with broader government policy, such as urban land use, urban transportation, and environmental planning, and a mechanism should be established to release land supply in defined areas. In addition, governments should expand public participation in the UGB amendment process and in supporting the implementation of the UGB policy

Program Service Learning Untuk Peningkatan Kompetensi Mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris: Manfaat dan Tantangan
Authors: Amsiyah Siti
Published: May 2022

Despite its popularity in universities in developed countries, service learning as a program that integrates teaching-learning and community services is not yet popular in Indonesia. This qualitative research aims to explore the benefits and challenges faced by students of English Education Department at UINSA doing service learning.  The data were collected using self-reported measures from 46 students’ reflective papers about their taking parts in 12 Islamic primary schools in the suburban areas in Surabaya. These schools have some limitations in terms of number of teachers and teaching-learning facilities. Some benefits reflected by the students include the development of their pedagogical and personal development. The challenges relate to issues of time and geographical location of the school, differences between the classroom concepts and real life context and dual position of the students at school as a learning community. Considering students’ positive reflection on the program, service learning should be integrated in every course to better develop students’ competencies.

The Importance Of Needs Analysis In Materials Development

Abstract : There is an issue which can be the subject of a further research that is: most learners of EFL do not actually have any needs at all. They are learning English because they have to rather than because they want or need to. This is particularly true of young learners, who are not going to need to communicate in English for many years to come (if at all). In such cases, the teacher is unlikely to be able to create much intrinsic motivation to learn English in general but can create the need in an engaging classroom task in which the students need to find a way of communicating in English in order to successfully complete the task. This can lead to readiness for acquisition provided the students are motivated by the teacher to read extensively as well. Thus, there should be more place for needs analysis because when we do not run the first principle to create and produce better materials, the rest will always be under great doubt. Every new teacher should consider starting their year applying needs analysis in small scales and then decide what the best is for themselves and their learners.Keywords : Needs analysis, material development
