Authors: Darvishy Asghar , Ibrahim Hamidah , Sidi Fatimah , Mustapha Aida
Published: April 2019

Clustering is one of the main tasks in machine learning and data mining and is being utilized in many applications including news recommendation systems. In this paper, we propose a new non-exclusive clustering algorithm named Ordered Clustering (OC) with the aim is to increase the accuracy of news recommendation for online users. The basis of OC is a new initialization technique that groups news items into clusters based on the highest similarities between news items to accommodate news nature in which a news item can belong to different categories. Hence, in OC, multiple memberships in clusters are allowed. An experiment is carried out using a real dataset which is collected from the news websites. The experimental results demonstrated that the OC outperforms the k-means algorithm with respect to Precision, Recall, and F1-Score.

Authors: Hashim Ashwaq T. , Saleh Zina A.
Published: April 2019

The localization of the iris is the most significant factor in biometrics of the iris, which traditionally assumes strictly controlled environments. The proposed method includes the pupillary and limbic iris boundaries localization. A primary advantage of image arithmetic operations is that the process is straightforward and therefore fast, these characteristics are employed and combined with the morphological operators in the designing of the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm takes into account the noise area which is found in various parts of the eye image such as light reflections, focus, and small visible iris. The experimental results are conducted on a collection of iris images consist of 756 images belong to Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Automation (CASIA V-1) and 450 images belong to Multi Media University (MMU V-1) databases.  The results indicate a high level of accuracy using the proposed technique. Moreover, the comparison results with the state-of-the-art iris localization algorithms expose considerable improvement in segmentation accuracy while being computationally more efficient.

Published: April 2019

The article reports the results of the summer 2018 expedition to Cape Kamenny(of the Ob bay, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region) and the nearby non-functioning oil product supply facility (OPSF).The aim of the study was to monitor the current environmental situation and assess the level of oil pollution of environmental objects on these territories. The field and laboratory studies revealed the need to treat and remediate the oil-polluted soils, water bodies and wetlands.

The field surveys of the territories showed the presence of visible oil polluted sites. The results of the laboratory tests revealed an excess of maximal permissible concentration (MPC) levels (1.3 – 6.2 MPC) for the water bodies located near the sources of oil pollution. The soil samples near the OPSF demonstrate a significant excess of oil products content (up to 1474 times). The soils sampled at Cape Kamenny are characterized by smaller content of oil products.

Since the non-functioning OPSF is situated on a territory that has always been poluted by oil, it seems necessary to develop a land remediation plan to rehabilitate the site and to prevent a further pollution of the adjacent territories due to the migration of the pollutants.

The oil pollution levels established for Cape Kamenny territory indicate a fairly high level of anthropogenic pressure in this area. Due to the low comparatively low soil stability in the area, it appears necessary to augment the measures for controlling the oil products leakage and spills at all the potentially hazardous objects.

Disentangling visual attention and motor response contributions in response priming with gender categorization task: an HDDM approach
Authors: Todorova Lara , Neville David
Published: April 2019

Words can either boost or hinder the processing of visual information, which can lead to facilitation or interference of the behavioural response. We investigated the stage (response execution or target processing) of verbal interference/facilitation in the response priming paradigm with a gender categorization task. Participants in our study were asked to judge whether the presented stimulus was a female or male face that was briefly preceded by a gender word either congruent (prime: ‘man’, target: ‘man’), incongruent (prime: ‘woman’, target: ‘man’) or neutral (prime: ‘day’, target: ‘man’) with respect to the face stimulus. We investigated whether related word-picture pairs resulted in faster reaction times in comparison to the neutral word-picture pairs (facilitation) and whether unrelated word-picture pairs resulted in slower reaction times in comparison to neutral word-picture pairs (interference). We further examined whether these effects (if any) map onto response conflict or aspects of target processing. In addition, identity (‘man’, ‘woman’) and associative (‘tie’, ‘dress’) primes were introduced to investigate the cognitive mechanisms of semantic and Stroop-like effects in response priming (introduced respectively by associations and identity words). We analyzed responses and reaction times using the drift diffusion model to examine the effect of facilitation and/or interference as a function of the prime type. We found that regardless of prime type words introduce a facilitatory effect, which maps to the processes of visual attention and response execution.

Authors: Kidwai Aasim
Published: April 2019

Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death in the industrialized world. Majority of the deaths in MI are attributed to the development of arrhythmias during periods of myocardial infarction. Identification of the type of arrhythmia is of therapeutic and prognostic importance.

Materials and methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted at the department of Internal Medicine, Nepalgunj Medical College teaching hospital, Nepalgunj for a period of 12 months. 61 consecutive cases of myocardial infarction were included in the study on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results and discussion: Out of the 61 cases that were included in the study. 45 (73.8%) patients were above the age of 49. There was only 1 patient below 29 years of age. The commonest risk factor was hypertension which was present in 48 (78.7%) cases, followed by Diabetes Mellitus in 28(45.9%), smoking in 26(42.6%) and dyslipidemia in 12(19.7%) no. of subjects. Overall 41(67.2%) patients had anterior wall (anterior+anteroseptal+extensive anterior wall), 16(2.2%) had inferior wall (inferior+inferolateral) and 4(6.6%) had combined anterior and inferior wall myocardial infarction. Out of the 61 cases, arrhythmia was recorded in 55(90.2%) cases whereas in 6(9.8%) cases there was no evidence of any arrhythmia Ventricular premature complex was the commonest arrhythmia and was recorded in 48(78.7%) patients, followed by sinus tachycardia in 38(62.3%) patients. Ventricular tachycardia occurred in 11(18%) and ventricular fibrillation was recorded in 4(6.6%) cases. Complete heart block was seen in 7(11.5%) cases.

Conclusion: Most cases of myocardial infarction develop cardiac arrhythmias. Further studies on a larger scale are needed to further understand the magnitude and spectrum of this problem in the Nepalese population.

Published: April 2019

Introduction: Bronchoalveolar lavage has a high diagnostic utility for cytology and bacteriology. It can be done as an outpatient procedure for both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patient. Material obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage can give a definite diagnosis in conditions such as infections and malignancies.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in cases which underwent routine bronchoscopy for evaluation of lung disease.

Materials and methods This is a hospital based descriptive study done from 16th  June 2016 to 15th  June 2017. One hundred twenty bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cases were analyzed for differential count, cytological evaluation and bacteriological examination. All cases were included which were sent as BAL specimen to the laboratory department. Bronchoscopy was done as an outpatient procedure and lavage fluid obtained was analyzed.

Result: Out of 120 cases, 69 were male and 51 were female. The age ranged from 10 to 80 years. Among 120 cases, eight (n= 6.66%) cases were unsatisfactory, twelve (n= 10%) cases were of tuberculosis, one (n= 0.83%) case was of fungal infection, two (n= 1.67%) cases were of malignancy, ninety one (n= 75.84%) cases were of small airway infection and six cases were satisfactory but with no diagnostic value. (n= 5%).

Conclusion Bronchoalveolar lavage is valuable in diagnosis of tuberculosis, infections and malignancies.

Introduction: Neonates are most vulnerable to infections due to poor immune system leading to high morbidity and mortality, which justifies early diagnosis and prompt treatment with antibiotics. Antibiotics are the most frequently used drugs in Neonatal Intensive care units.

Aim and Objective: The objective of present study was to identify the pattern of use of antimicrobial agents in neonates at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of NGMC.

Materials and Methods: A hospital-based, retrospective study (prescription audit) was conducted over a period of 5-month duration at Nepalgunj Medical College by reviewing case records of NICU. Data were collected and analyzed.

Results: A total of 150 case records were reviewed and were included in the study. Out of the 150, Neonates 86 (57.33%) were male babies and 64 (42.67%) were female babies. Maximum number (72.66%) neonates admitted to NICU were of low birth weight and most common reason for NICU admission was neonatal septicaemia. The majority of neonates (68.67%) received 2 antimicrobial agents (AMAs), 21.33% received 3 AMAs and average number of antibiotic per case was 2.44. The most commonly prescribed antimicrobial agent was Cefotaxime (58.66%), followed by Amikacin (48%), Ceftriaxone (32%). In fixed dose combination Piperacillin + Tazobactum (28%) was most commonly prescribed. All of the antimicrobial agents were prescribed by brand name.

 Conclusion: Measures need to be undertaken to encourage physicians to prescribe AMAs in generic names to minimize health care cost. Present study suggests that Antibiotics policy to be framed & periodically reviewed: to reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics and associated problems.

SUBMISSION OF ADMINISTRATIVE DECISIONS OF USING RECREATION AND TOURIST TERRITORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF ALTERNATIVE ACTIVITY TYPES
Authors: KOSTETSKA К.O.
Published: April 2019

Topicality. All relationships in the field of nature use begin with the legislative framework on the protection of nature and its individual components, which defines the functions of the state regulating environmental activities, as well as defined rights and responsibilities of environmental users. In most developed countries, it is a law on nature conservation or environmental acts that establishes the general principles and objectives of a policy designed to ensure the conceptual uniformity and integrity of all legislative practice in the use, protection and restoration of natural resources. System and methods of administrative management in using natural resources are based on: system of legislative acts of the country and the region; a system of normative-directive and methodological (obligatory to use) documents of state bodies; system of plans, programs, projects, tasks; operational management system.
Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to justify institutional reforms in order to ensure the implementation of environmental legislation, the division of powers of environmental authorities at the national, regional and municipal levels on the procedure for decision-making and its implementation.
Research results. The lack of coordination control functions using natural resources, namely the lack of a horizontal connection between the supervisory authorities, leads to the fact that many bodies control the same natural resource. First of all, the uncontrolled tourism activity with the use of recreational resources is observed. Thus, the main task of the state administration should be to assess the quantitative and qualitative equivalents of existing and potential natural resources and determine the strategic directions of their management, their use and protection by business entities and households. In this case, it is necessary to determine with which mechanisms to achieve the optimal use of recreational and tourist resources while minimizing environmental damage, minimizing costs and maximizing the social, economic and environmental effects of their use.Conclusions. Taking into account the economic effect that the country can have, it is expedient to take into account not only the economic potential of the recreational and tourist territory, but also the development of alternative activities on it. Control the enterprises located in this territory and conduct their economic activity with the use or extraction and subsequent resale of the recreational resource. Principal is the redistribution of taxes from economic activity to the restoration of recreational resources at the urban level. It is necessary to provide methodological explanations regarding tax provisions and benefits to enterprises involved in this process, taking into account the status of the territory in which the recreation process has arisen, taking into account the medical characteristics of the territory and the extraction of natural resources in this territory.
