Safety at work is important, so the use of personal protective equipment (ADP) is a must. However, in reality on the ground, there are relatively few workers who use complete and correct PPE. Due to this problem, the company as the person responsible employs K3 officers to monitor workers' use of PPE. To reduce the costs incurred in employing K3 officers, a system was created that was able to detect and monitor worker discipline in using PPE. Therefore, a personal protective equipment detection system was created. One method created to create object detection is the You Only Look Once (YOLO) method. The way YOLO works is by looking at the entire image once, then passing through the neural network once to directly detect existing objects. The results of this implementation aim to detect project workers who use complete protective equipment and do not use it, with the output results in the form of images that have been detected by people who use complete protective equipment or do not use it with labeling and bounding boxes on the detected image. From the test results on a total of 96 images, it shows that there is an accuracy value of 65%.

Optimized register level transfer mechanism for ASIC-based memscomputing
Authors: Shilpa B. M. , Shet Sathisha K.
Published: June 2024

Micro-electromechanical system-based semiconductor sensor systems typically need a reliable on-chip analog readout circuit to identify and process changes in physical properties. To improve the mobility, robustness, reliability and performance (in terms of power consumption and speed) of the sensor system, the remaining parts of the post-processing logic, such as the digital data processor (or part of it), can also integrated into the chip. Cost and integration are always important considerations in both analog and digital designs, but they become even more important; the subsystem of data processing must be squeezed into a very small space near the structure of the micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) sensor. The paper introduces a new Buffalo-based register-transfer level (BRTL) method that aims to improve the efficiency and reliability of the system of digital data processing for MEMS sensor post-processing algorithm. Initially, the memcomputing system was designed with the needed functional processing elements. Then, a novel Buffalo-based register-transfer level design is modelled in the MEMS architecture. The digital data transmission process is performed to estimate the reliability of the proposed BRTL model. Finally, the performance of the proposed model can be validated.

Published: June 2024

Nephrolithiasis is a disease that occurs with the formation of stones in the urinary tract. The occurrence of such stones depends on geographical, climatic, ethnic, dietary, and genetic factors. Most often, they are seen in countries with warm and dry climates. The Balkans are an endemic area, and 2% of the population is estimated to have the condition annually. The frequency is the same in both sexes. It is relatively rarer in childhood. This study aimed to show the modern possibilities for surgical treatment of kidney stone disease and combinations of different surgical approaches to achieve mini-invasiveness, short-term hospital stay, and reduction of postoperative complications. We present a clinical case of a patient with kidney stone disease with multiple lithiasis with multiple localization found in the left kidney. A combined (hybrid) operative approach was used – combining the laparoscopic technique and flexible renoscopy. We combined the possibilities of the two operative procedures and achieved a one-act cure for the patient. The method was minimally invasive. The hospital stay was shorter, and no postoperative complications occurred.

Published: June 2024

The main risk factors for Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and the development of associated diseases are related to sexual behavior and health literacy of the population. The study aimed to investigate the impact of risk and protective factors for HPV infection and the development of associated diseases in adult women. A case-control study was conducted from January 2020 to May 2022A. Respondents had sought outpatient and/or inpatient obstetric-gynecological care in the city of Pleven. The significance of results, findings, and conclusions was determined at p< 0.05, and the odds ratio (OR) was calculated. Data analysis identified three out of the 15 factors as significant: lower education (primary and secondary) OR=2.36 95% CI (0.97-5.74), lack of vaccination against HPV OR=2.05, 95% CI (0.86-4.92), and urban residence OR of 1.29 95% CI (1.11-1.52). Two factors with a protective effect on HPV infection were statistically significant: education (secondary and higher) (p=0.05) and rural residence (p=0.001). Improving health literacy among the population and enhancing preventive measures related to HPV and its associated diseases would reduce the impact of risk factors.

Determining the consumptive effects of non-native predators, for which several direct and indirect methods have been applied, is a common goal in invasion biology. Functional responses and stable isotope analysis are among the most widely used approaches; however, they are rarely used in combination. In this study, we used these two complementary methods to compare the predatory impacts of four invasive Ponto-Caspian mysids on zooplankton in a habitat (Danube River) where all four species coexist. The order of the species based on the attack rates of the functional response models matched with their mean δ15N values, indicating a correspondence between their predatory potentials and trophic positions in their invaded habitat. Hemimysis anomala had the highest attack rate on zooplankton presumably due to its higher degree of specialization linked to its pelagic lifestyle. Contrary to our expectations, the largest species, Paramysis lacustris, had an intermediate predatory efficiency and trophic position, similar to those of Limnomysis benedeni but higher than those of the smallest species, Katamysis warpachowskyi. Nevertheless, all of the four species exhibited a considerable predatory potential, suggesting that any of them can contribute significantly to their combined predatory impact depending on their densities. The congruence between the results of the two methods shows that the species can realize their different predatory potentials in their invaded environment, indicating favorable conditions (i.e., food availability and spatial heterogeneity) which allowed dietary differentiation. We recommend the combined use of functional responses and stable isotope analysis, which might allow robust conclusions to be drawn on the trophic ecology of the species and also provide further insights into the studied ecosystem.

Resveratrol (RES), chemically known as trans-3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene, is a polyphenolic molecule that occurs naturally and is produced by a variety of plants in response to being stimulated by diverse stimuli. It possesses a wide range of biological activities and provides a multitude of health benefits, including anti-tumor, cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant characteristics. According to the findings of research on the bioavailability of RES, oral administration results in a high level of absorption. However, research has demonstrated that the administration of RES through gavage or intravenous administration produces more favorable results than the administration of RES through oral administration. As a result, more research has been carried out to address the rapid metabolism of RES. This has been accomplished through the utilization of novel formulation methodologies, metabolic regulation, and the analysis of potential interactions with other dietary variables. Through the process of triggering apoptosis, RES has been proposed as a possible agent for reversing drug resistance and improving the therapeutic potential of chemotherapy. Additionally, RES exhibits promising antiproliferative properties when paired with chemotherapeutic medicines, which enhances the overall function of these treatments. It is vital to do additional research to shed light on the beneficial role that RES plays in the context of cancer therapy, even though there have been few clinical trials that combine RES with anticancer medications.

Abstract

Understanding species diversity and delineating their boundaries are crucial for effective management and conservation efforts. In the case of bats, species identification holds particular importance from an epidemiological standpoint. The genus Molossus (Chiroptera: Molossidae) encompasses 15 species distributed across the Neotropics, ranging from the southeastern United States to Argentina. This genus exhibits two contrasting patterns of variation: some species are cryptic, while others are morphologically distinct yet genetically similar. This study explores the diversity of Molossus in Argentina through a molecular phylogenetic approach. We analyzed sequences from three molecular markers (cyt b, COI, and FGB) along with morphology data obtained from a sample of 64 individuals. Uni- and multivariate analyses of external and cranial measurements were conducted, alongside comparisons of external and cranial characteristics among species. Based on molecular and morphological differences, we describe a new species within the Molossus genus. This newly discovered species exhibits a broad distribution spanning the Paraná River basin across three distinct ecoregions. It is noteworthy that this species is pseudo-cryptic with respect to similar-sized species such as M. molossus and M. melini. Additionally, it is important to mention that all species in Argentina have overlapping distribution ranges. In summary, this study provides valuable insights into the diversity and distribution of Molossus bats in Argentina, employing molecular and morphological analyses. The discovery of a new species underscores the ongoing importance of comprehensive research efforts in understanding and conserving bat populations in the Neotropics.

Hacedlas cuál las buscáis: adulterio y educación femenina en la narrativa de Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera (1889) y Zulima (1896)
Authors:  Suárez Mariana Libertad
Published: June 2024

Este artículo examina el replanteamiento del tema del adulterio por parte de dos mujeres intelectuales latinoamericanas, Mercedes Cabello y Lina López de Aramburu (conocida como Zulima), en el contexto de la consolidación de las repúblicas de América del Sur a finales del siglo XIX. Ambas autoras utilizaron la intertextualidad política para posicionarse frente a las novelas del adulterio que circulaban ampliamente en la región como dispositivos de educación emocional. Se destaca que el adulterio femenino era y sigue siendo considerado un acto que puede socavar la estabilidad familiar y nacional, lo que llevó a disciplinamiento a la población y resaltar los riesgos asociados con esta acción. A pesar de sus diferentes contextos sociales y culturales, tanto Cabello como Zulima eran mujeres letradas sujetas al mismo código de conducta de la época, donde el honor femenino estaba intrínsecamente ligado al control sobre la sexualidad y la reproducción. Así pues, ambas autoras se encargaron de iluminar los nexos entre estas narrativas y estructurar un reclamo en torno a los paradigmas que rodeaban la educación femenina y las demandas sociales dirigidas a las mujeres.
Experimental Evaluation of the Shear Stress of Concrete with Macro-Synthetic Fibers and Steel Fibers for Structural

This work evaluates the shear stress in concrete beams with the addition of reinforcing fibers. Since there is no established standard in Peru, it was proposed to use the "JSCE-SF6" test method recommended by the Japanese Society of Civil Engineers and an analytical model to determine the shear strength of concrete with fibers. For this purpose, steel and polypropylene fibers were used in the proportions of 3kg, 5kg, 7kg and 9kg for each design. The main test was the shear test based on Japanese standards, however, secondary tests such as compression and flexural tests were also performed. The results obtained showed the contribution of the fibers in the three tests performed. In the shear test, the polypropylene fibers obtained a higher shear strength in all their mix designs in the same proportions. Additionally, an analytical model is proposed to determine the shear stress in concrete with fibers, which includes as variables the compressive strength, the mass fraction of fibers and the tensile strength of the fibers, which generates acceptable values close to those obtained experimentally with the Japanese Standard Shear Test.

SACM 645 nitriding steel is a commercial Cr-M0-Al medium carbon low alloy steel. Due to its good balance of strength, toughness and wear resistance the steel has been widely used for several general-purpose parts. Hot forging is a heat treatment method commonly used to increase the hardness of steel. The temperature and strain rate used in hot forging of steel results in changes in grain shape and size through a mechanism known as recovery, recrystallization and grain growth. There are common problems such as defect, net shape and cracked. The designer lacked of knowledge and understanding of the behavior of materials in hot forging process. This research aimed to study material properties under Hot forging at high temperature and effect of times annealing. Experiment, it was found that at 5 temperature levels, which were 850, 950, 1,050, 1,150 and 1,200 °C and annealing test in furnace temperature constant 800°C, holding time in furnace for 6 different times (1-6 hour). Therefore hot forging and the annealing test after hot forging concluded low temperatures, annealing time less result in small grain sizes and high hardness values. On the other hand, the higher temperature, annealing time long the larger the grain size and the lower the hardness. Consequently, the designer can use the information to improve the hot forging process, annealing determines the material properties of the finished products to the design of the part fabrication process.
