Published: August 2023

Progress in signal processing seems to converge towards perceptually inspired algorithms. This work proposes a novel signal processing framework, namely Cochlear Transform (CT), inspired by the active spiral cochlear mechanics. CT reflects how the spiral cochlea transforms the input stimuli to spatially supported and tonotopically organized basilar membrane responses, resulting in orthogonal cochlear modes with bio-inspired Time-Frequency Representation (TFR). We treat an input signal as a propagating wave that travels from the cochlear base to apex, along a path that takes a spiral shape from θ = 0◦ to θ = 990◦, respectively. More importantly, we showcase the generalizability of the CT to non-acoustic signals by modulating them to the highest sensitivity region of the cochlea.We try to achieve balance between bio-inspiration and adaptive signal processing. Accordingly, we demonstrate that CT attains important characteristics, such as filterbank with perceptual tuning when excited by White Gaussian Noise, noise robustness, and the cochlear decomposition orthogonality. Numerical examples of synthetic and real signals are given to demonstrate the robustness of CT and comparisons are made with Empirical Wavelet Transform (EWT) and the Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD). CT reveals new unseen and interpretable features not only of acoustic signals, but also real-life biological and seismic signals that stem from the active cochlear mechanics including acoustic distortion effects. This study is the first to demonstrate that mimicking both the active function and the structure of the human cochlear results inenhanced and interpretable TFR resolution, which allows the generalization of the approach to non-acoustic signals. CT resembles spectro-temporal receptive fields necessary for downstream perceptual auditory tasks with a range of application in data analysis, enhancing synergies between machine intelligence and bio-inspired perception. It also paves the way for bio-inspired feature engineering methods, including future CT extensions to applications for multivariate signals and 2D image processing.
On a conjecture for the algebraic transfer in generic families of internal degrees
Authors: Võ Phúc Đặng
Published: August 2023

The binary field will be symbolized as $\mathbb F_2$ in the customary manner, whilst the Steenrod algebra over this field shall be written as $\mathscr A.$ In this paper, we study Singer's conjecture [Math. Z. \textbf{202} (1989), 493-523] for the algebraic transfers of ranks 5 and 6 in the generic families of internal degrees. The Singer algebraic transfer stands as a valuable instrument for unraveling the intricate structure of the cohomology ${\rm Ext}_{\mathscr A}^{s,k} := {\rm Ext}_{\mathscr A}^{s}(\mathbb F_2, \Sigma^{k}\mathbb F_2)$ of $\mathscr A.$ Remarkably, we have shown that the indecomposable element $y\in {\rm Ext}_{\mathscr A}^{6,44}$ is not in the image of the sixth algebraic transfer.

Goal: Gait analysis using inertial measurement units (IMUs) has emerged as a promising method for monitoring movement disorders. However, the lack of public data and algorithms hinders method comparison and clinical application development. To address these challenges, this publication introduces the gaitmap ecosystem, a comprehensive set of open source Python packages for gait analysis using foot-worn IMUs. Methods: This initial release includes over 20 state-of-the-art algorithms, enables easy access to seven datasets, and provides eight benchmark challenges with reference implementations. Together with its extensive documentation and tooling, it enables rapid development and validation of new algorithm and provides a foundation for novel clinical applications. Conclusion: The published software projects represent a pioneering effort to establish an open-source ecosystem for IMU-based gait analysis. We believe that this work can democratize the access to high-quality algorithm and serve as a driver for open and reproducible research in the field of human gait analysis and beyond.
FaaSCtrl: A Comprehensive-Latency Controller for Serverless Platforms
Authors: Panda Abhisek , sarangi smruti ranjan
Published: August 2023

Serverless computing systems have become very popular because of their natural advantages with respect to auto-scaling, load balancing and fast distributed processing. Almost all serverless systems as of today define two QoS classes where one set of applications is deemed to be latency sensitive (LS) and the other set of applications needs to be handled on a best-effort basis (BE). LS jobs are often very short, and thus, they require low latencies and deterministic processing times (akin to soft real-time jobs). Hence, several performance metrics have been considered in the literature, such as the mean, tail latency, median, etc., for the different QoS classes. We use this standard setting and club all performance metrics into a performance vector that we shall refer to as the comprehensive latency (CL).

We design a system FaaSCtrl that is superior to prior work for every component of the CL for LS applications by a wide margin (e.g., 44.2% and 28% better than the nearest competing work for the variance and mean components, resp.). We achieve this by first understanding the reasons for a poor CL by performing detailed characterization experiments. Once, we identify the causative factors, we establish that the knobs to control these factors, such as process priorities and CPU affinities, have a complex relationship with the CL. This is a fit case for using a reinforcement learning (RL) method that has been used successfully in the past to solve problems where the benefit of a certain intervention is probabilistic in nature. Our detailed characterization experiments naturally segue into our RL formulation. The last section establishes that our RL-based system is robust and generalizes well to hitherto unseen situations.
The “prince of anatomists” Paolo Mascagni and the modernity of his approach to teaching through the anatomical tables of his Anatomia universa. A pioneer and innovator in medical education at the end of the 18th century and the creator of unique anatomica
Authors: Martini Mariano , Orsini Davide
Published: August 2023

In the wake of the great anatomists, Paolo Mascagni introduced important innovations into the methods of studying anatomy, as revealed both by his writings and, especially, by his approach to the analysis of anatomical sciences. He devoted his whole life to the study of anatomy, which he considered a mainstay of medical education.

Mascagni’s great originality in this field lay in the fact that he designed new, modern tools for the teaching of anatomy – tools that enabled students to gain greater understanding of the human body even in the absence of dissection, which was regarded as indispensable in those days.

His two most important results were the first description of the lymphatic system and the clear and precise anatomical tables of the Anatomia Universa. This “modern and evocative anatomical atlas” was the first to present precise, life-size drawings of the human body.

The present overview aims to illustrate the modernity of this great scientist, his approach to the study of anatomy, his meticulous attention to topographical anatomy, and the utility of his innovative methods, which were to mark the evolution of medical education for many years.

Published: August 2023

The anatomy of the maxillary sinus has been widely analysed over the last few years, specifically when it comes to its vascular anatomy, relationship to the teeth, and alveolar process. In fact, surgical procedures require the most accurate knowledge of anatomical structures, facilitated by the use of some state-of-the-art imaging technologies such as the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Such systems are constantly evolving in terms of quality, definition, image detail, and accuracy. This review aims to analyse the international literature of the last decade that has dealt with the topic of sinus anatomy, especially looking at the presence, percentage and localization of Underwood’s septa, with the aim of supporting dentists to diagnose these anatomical structures in as much detail as possible and to perform surgery in this area with greater confidence.
Autophagy inhibitors in the treatment of colorectal cancer: a brief review
Authors: Ceci Martina , Iezzi Manuela , Trerotola Marco
Published: August 2023

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequent cancer. The first-line adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy is represented by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) but its application is limited due to induction of chemoresistance. Recent studies showed that the 5-FU resistance in CRC is closely related to the activation of autophagy. During human carcinogenesis, autophagy has been demonstrated to play opposite roles of inhibitor or promoter of malignant progression depending on initial or advanced stages of growth. Currently, the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ) and its derivate, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), are the only Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs for clinical use. This review summarizes recent findings on the possible employment of autophagy inhibitors to overcome chemoresistance engaged in the CRC.

Published: August 2023

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most frequently diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is an important risk factor for GC. However, the etiology of the tumor is multifactorial, since only 1-3% of infected patients develop cancer. Therefore, attention should be focused on the role of microbiota in gastric tumorigenesis since in some studies an alteration of the microbiota in GC has been shown. Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) has been found in biopsies of patients with GC. However, since its role is not clearly established, this study investigated the effects of Fn infection on the human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line AGS. Our results showed that Fn co-localized at level of the plasma membrane demonstrating the ability of Fn to adhere to AGS cells. In addition, increases in incubation times were associated with its intra-cellular localization with loss of the classic curved rod shape. Interestingly, Fn determined a greater capacity of cell migration compared to untreated AGS cells. Moreover, IL-4 expression significantly increased in Fn infected GC cells. Since cancer cell migration is an integral component of the metastatic process, additional studies are needed to better understand the mechanisms underlying the Fn/host interaction.

Authors: Papa Veronica , Vaccarezza Mauro , Galassi Francesco Maria , Varotto Elena
Published: August 2023

Mummies are the well-preserved remains of humans or animals in which non-bony tissue has been maintained naturally or artificially. Their significance lies in their contribution to paleopathological research, which involves understanding the history and evolution of diseases and providing insights into past populations’ cultural and social practices. In recent years, mummies studies used nondestructive methods, including modern imaging techniques, to assess the main pathological features of these unique human remains. This mini-review focuses on the role of paleoradiology in mummies’ studies and describes the history of mummy radiography and CT scanning over the last fifteen years. The search strategy was conducted between January and April 2023. One thousand one hundred twenty-four records (1124) were initially identified, and 52 studies were assessed for qualitative synthesis. Three main themes and four subthemes were identified, providing a general overview of the role of paleoradiology or offering methodological guidelines. Also, subthemes assessed the role that the use of radiology has in the diagnosis of specific pathologies. Therefore, imaging techniques in ancient human remains might help understand the history and evolution of past and present diseases and their risk factors.

Published: August 2023

Some living organisms have been eliminated in some ecosystems, while some diseases have recently been caused due to extreme climate changes nowadays which have been affected by greenhouse gases which disturb the ecosystems. To an extent, the temperature of Earth's planet has increased markedly over the last 100.000 years.  This increment can strongly affect the normal existence of a large number of living beings such as animals, plants, and microorganisms. Human life span has been decreased due to the harsh conditions in ecosystems and as one of the consequences of global warming; besides the pathogens, like bacteria, viruses and parasites, have become more resistant to disinfectants and to novel antimicrobial agents much more than before. The production and cultivation of some crops and numerous plant species become harder as a result of high salinity and decreases rainfall. Since 2007, forestation and drought have been the most obvious manifestations in many countries, especially in Iraqi lands leading to the migration of people and some animals like birds away from them. Cattle and some animals like deer and fish have been in a limited number tending to extinction in some Iraqi areas. This review has been prepared to document the global and local impacts of climate change on biodiversity.

Authors: Rahman Mirza Mahbubur , Huq S M Enamul , Hossain Mujtahid Mohammad
Published: August 2023

Background: Blindness is a substantial concern in Bangladesh, which is part of the South East Asia region under the World Health Organization. Cataracts are a major contributor to blindness, accounting for a significant percentage of cases. However, the outcomes of cataract surgery in the region are worrisome, with many postoperative eyes experiencing poor visual acuity. Compliance to post-operative care, especially timely follow-ups, is crucial for optimal outcomes, but non-compliance is a significant issue, particularly in rural areas. This study examines the reasons for non-compliance to post-operative follow-ups in cataract surgery patients at a district hospital in Bangladesh. Methods: This study was conducted at District Sadar Hospital, Jhalakathi, spanning a year. It included 278 cataract surgery patients. Detailed patient histories were collected, and patients were counseled about the surgery and the importance of follow-ups. A single surgeon performed the surgeries according to established protocols. Post-operative medication and follow-up appointments were prescribed. Reasons for missed follow-ups were documented, and data were recorded in tables and figures. Result: During the operative period, there were 123 males and 155 females. The first follow-up had 80 males and 95 females, while the second follow-up had 16 males and 17 females. Key factors for non-compliance by the second follow-up were identified, including transport cost, absence of an attendant, improved vision with no complications, severe weakness, loss of discharge letter, uncooperative hospital staff, lack of improved vision, and a combination of factors. Conclusion: The study recommends public awareness programs and dedicated hospital counselors to improve understanding and compliance with post-operative follow-ups. This approach could significantly enhance the effectiveness of cataract surgery outcomes and restore post-operative vision effectively. However, it's important to note that ....
About A Case: Primary Breast Lymphoma (Diffuse Large B cell Lymphoma)
Authors: Oumayma Mnafe , Hicham Eddou
Published: August 2023

Primary breast lymphoma is a rare neoplasia, with little clinical and imaging specificity. These are essentially type B lymphomas, of which the most common is diffuse lymphoma with large B cells. It is an entity that presents a prognostic impact from the outset by their localization but also by the risk of neurological relapse. The treatment of primary breast lymphoma depends on lymphomatous localizations and of course the histological type. There remain some questions to be raised regarding the place of radiotherapy in the treatment of certain localized histological forms, as well as the interest of systematic neuromeningeal prophylaxis in this breast localization. We report a case of primary breast lymphoma in a 50-year-old patient with no particular history.

Published: August 2023

In this study, the stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis of periodic solutions of Duffing equations were considered. Also other types of bifurcation like the Saddle-node, Transcritical and Pitchkfork were also studied. The eigen value, Jacobian and Floquet theory were used to analyse both the stability and Hopf bifurcations of the periodic solutions of the equilibrium points. The results showed that equilibrium points have at most three -periodic solutions under a strong damped conditions due to the cubic nonlinearities. The bifurcation points showed; one critical, another subcritical and the third point showed that the homoclinic was present when the damping coefficient is zero. Furthermore, the presence of strange attractors varied with the driving force and damping. The MATCAD software was used to illustrate the numerical behaviour of the solution which extend some results in the literature.

Assessing commitment to reflection: perceptions of medical students
Authors: Poirier Joanie , Ouellet Kathleen , Désilets Valérie , Graillon Ann , Xhignesse Marianne , St-Onge Christina
Published: August 2023

Background: While developing reflection skills is considered important by educators, the assessment of these skills is often associated with unintended negative consequences. In the context of a mandatory longitudinal course that aims to promote the development of reflection on professional identity, we assessed students’ commitment to reflection. This study explores students’ perception of this assessment by their mentor.
Methods: We conducted a qualitative descriptive study using semi-structured interviews with twenty-one 1st and six 2nd year medical students. Thematic analysis was informed by Braun and Clarke’s six-step approach.
Results: We identified four main themes: 1- assessment as a motivator, 2- consequences on authenticity, 3- perception of inherent subjectivity, and 4 - relationship with the mentor.
Conclusions: In the context of assessing reflection skills in future physicians, we observed that students –when assessed on the process of reflection– experienced high motivation but were ambivalent on the question of authenticity. The subjectivity of the assessment as well as the relationship with their mentor also raises questions. Nevertheless, this assessment approach for reflective skills appears to be promising in terms of limiting the negative consequences of assessment.
Exploring medical students’ use of principles of self-explanation and structured reflection during clerkship
Authors: Chamberland Martine , Beaudoin Vanessa , Boulais Isabelle , Bergeron Linda , St-Onge Christina , Dubé Timothy
Published: August 2023

Background: While educators observe gaps in clerkship students’ clinical reasoning (CR) skills, students report few opportunities to develop them. This study aims at exploring how students who used self-explanation (SE) and structured reflection (SR) for CR learning during preclinical training, applied these learning strategies during clerkship.
Methods: We conducted an explanatory sequential mixed-methods study involving medical students. With a questionnaire, we asked students how frequently they adopted behaviours related to SE and SR during clerkship. Next, we conducted a focus group with students to explore why they adopted these behaviours.
Results:  Fifty-two of 198 students answered the questionnaire and five participated in a focus group. Specific behaviours adopted varied from 50% to 98%. We identified three themes about why students used these strategies: as “just in time” learning strategies; to deepen their understanding and identify gaps in knowledge; to develop a practical approach to diagnosis. A fourth theme related to the balance between learning and assessment and its consequence on adopting SE behaviours.
Conclusions: Students having experienced SE and SR regularly in preclinical training tend to transpose these strategies into the clerkship providing them with a practical way to reflect deliberately and capture learning opportunities of the unpredictable clinical context.

India-Russia Relations Through the Ages
Authors: - Debarshi
Published: August 2023

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a speech said when Indian kids are asked to mention the most valuable friend of India, they without any hesitation say it is Russia. From the very beginning of our foreign relations, we have Russia who stood beside us through thick and thin. Russia is an all-weather friend of India. Enunciation of the policy of non-alignment by India received accolades from the Soviet Union but ruffled the feather of America. After independence when India had a tussle with Pakistan on the issue of Kashmir only the Soviet Union had extended much required political support to India. During the 1965 Indo-Pakistan war and in particular, the 1971 war with Pakistan Indian sovereignty was threatened by America and Pakistan. Pakistan being a member of the US-led NATO alliance immediately sought help from America in the wake of an outbreak of war with India. Being a soft power, it was beyond India’s military capability to rebuff the possibility of joint aggression by Pakistan and the USA. Considering this, India concluded Peace, Friendship, and Co-operation Treaty with the Soviet Union in 1971. This treaty proved to be a boon for India when the Indo-Pak war broke out and America and China the two most powerful countries backed aggressor Pakistan. The decision of the Soviet Union to move its fleet to the Indian Ocean area was considered an effective deterrent to the decision of the US to deploy its Seven Fleet from the Gulf of Tonkin to the Bay of Bengal during the Indo-Pak war.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, India’s growing friendship with America created rifts in the Indo-Russia relationship. Shifts from a socialist planned economy to liberalisation and opening of the Indian market to the outside world and foreign private investment in the Indian market and deepening cooperation with America have led to a tumultuous relationship between two old friends. Dilapidated relations somehow improved when India decided to release the five pilots of Russian origin sentenced to life for their involvement in the Purulia arms drop case. Russia extends its support to India for its claim of permanent membership in the Security Council of UNO. Presently Russia is the second-highest defence supplier to India. In the pandemic situation of covid 19, Russian President Putin visited India ignoring his health concern and promised to give medical aid in India’s effort to fight covid 19.

There has been no academic work dedicated to the discovery of the lived experiences of business graduates from a private higher educational institution in Iloilo City, Philippines in their respective family businesses in terms of their daily lives. This phenomenological study was conducted to explore the lived experiences of business graduates of a private higher educational institution in Iloilo City, Philippines who joined their respective family businesses. Moreover, this study intended to describe the profile of the business graduate participants, family business involvement, family relationships, personal and work-related conflicts, and (4) contributions to their family firms. The qualitative research design was employed for this study, specifically phenomenology. Seven participants through purposive sampling voluntarily joined in this phenomenological study after signing the informed consent form. They came from the class of 2017 to 2019 business graduates. The result showed that the seven (7) participants of this study were all business graduates, who were majority males, aged 23-27 years old from a private educational institution in Iloilo City. They had never enrolled in any graduate school programs. The majority graduated last 2019 with three (3) years of working experience. The majority are into retail and hardware supplies. The operational years of their businesses ranged from nine (9) to 55. Almost all were classified as having medium businesses and only one was classified as small. For their family business involvement, they have experienced early involvement in their businesses, they were trusted to manage, and they feel valued. Strong family relationships also emerged among business graduates. They have experienced parental comfort and advice as well as close relationships with their parents. As to the personal and work-related conflicts, they experienced careless operational mistakes, interpersonal work conflicts, emotional challenges, and limited freedom. When it comes to their contributions to the family businesses, they have contributed to the vision and internal control strategies, social media marketing, sales increase, financial clarity, and lessening the workloads of parents. This study can serve as a basis for involving business graduates early in the family business. Employing them can enable them to contribute success factors earlier.

Chalcones containing a variety of rings were found to possess significant biological activities including antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti-HIV, antimalarial, anthelmintic, MAO inhibition, and anti-angiogenic activities. The present study was to synthesize a series of novel 3,4-dichloro acetophenone derivatives including chalcones by Claisen-Schmidt condensation, to characterize the synthesized chalcones using suitable IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectra and elemental analyses data, to screen the synthesized chalcones for their antifungal, anti-tubercular, and cytotoxic activities, to identify the active compounds for further exploitation. The composition of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by elemental analysis and the results were also in close agreement with those of the calculated values. Results of the antifungal activity clearly notify that the chalcones exhibited significant antifungal activity with altered MIC values against the tested organisms, but not as much of the standard fluconazole. The results of the anti-tubercular activity of novel chalcones 3a-3o divulged that all the compounds exhibited considerable activity against the M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain. The titled compounds (3a-3o) were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against prostate cancer cell line DU-145 by using MTT assay. Most potent chalcone of the series was 3o containing 2”-thienyl rings at portion-B, with an of MIC 5µg/mL which is equal to that of the positive control methotrexate.
Rethinking Women’s History: The Advent of History of Women in India
Authors: - Shivangi Naithani Devrani
Published: August 2023

In recent years, research on Women’s History has reached new heights concerning its rigor and magnitude- the most comprehensive thus far accomplished. Notably, it has brought to light the exceptional contribution of women throughout human history, which shows their importance in shaping society and their significant place in it today. To comprehend women's history, we must initially comprehend its definition and viewpoints. This unique type of historical study serves as a basis for exploring the work and contribution of women in History while deviating from classical approaches used in history writing. It was foundational in advancing women's studies in India while undertaking various subjects related to female experiences.
The journey of Indian women began with an undaunted spirit of reclamation. Without question, this marked a turning point that propelled Indian women's studies toward greater heights and enabled comprehensive exploration into various domains pertinent to the female experience. To understand this trajectory better, we must go back to our days in school and revisit information highlighting the heroism of trailblazers like Nur Jahan and Rani Laxmi bai- those who took on British forces alongside their husbands. These extraordinary female figures created history by remaining steadfastly equal to men or being supported extensively by influential male allies. Still, many other unsung heroes made indelible contributions alone, serving various roles from activists to politicians to revolutionaries – each decisive in shaping India's past towards laying down a brighter pathway for women worldwide. Understanding women's history is essential in comprehending their instrumental role in shaping our Nation. As such, academia across various disciplines must continue paving paths to encourage younger generations to document these myriad stories.

Introduction: Empathy is a key psychological quality in current and future healthcare providers’ performance. Thus, fostering empathy in healthcare students has become a crucial component of their curriculum. Objective: This study attempted to compare empathy levels between healthcare and non-healthcare students and identify associated factors. Methods: The questionnaires used to collect the data which included the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (TEQ), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and a self-reported sociodemographic inventory were completed by 311 students within Cyberjaya by convenience sampling. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and One-Way ANOVA were conducted for data analysis with a significant p-value of <0.05. Results: The mean empathy score for healthcare students was significantly higher compared to non-healthcare students (p = 0.043). Empathy was also seen to be significantly associated with gender, female, family background, and self-esteem (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in self-esteem between healthcare and non-healthcare students. Conclusion: Hence, it is evident that students of healthcare studies exhibit more empathy compared to non-healthcare regardless of the multiple factors explored in this paper. Nevertheless, empathy prevails as an important value to be taken into account by healthcare educators to instill this value in those majoring in this field to create a more warm and welcoming healthcare industry for the people.
Impact on Fast Growing Large Scale Industries due to the Stock Market Policies – An Empirical Research
Authors: - B Sugatha Kumari , - ABDUL JAVAD K P
Published: August 2023

India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and has made significant strides in developing its financial markets over the past few decades. The paper concludes by highlighting the key findings and implications of the study. It suggests that the stock exchange can play a critical role in promoting economic development in emerging markets by providing a platform for capital formation and investment. However, the development of the stock market must be supported by a conducive policy environment, strong regulatory framework, and investor protection mechanisms. The study also highlights the need for further research on the relationship between stock market development and economic growth in emerging markets, particularly in the context of the on-going financial globalization and integration. The stock exchange is a critical component of any economy, and its role in the economic development of emerging markets is particularly significant. An emerging market is a country that is in the process of transitioning from a developing economy to a developed economy. These markets are often characterized by high growth potential, but also high risk due to their volatile economies. It plays a critical role in the development of emerging markets by providing a platform for companies to raise capital, facilitating investment, providing liquidity, and improving corporate governance. One of the primary ways in which the stock exchange contributes to economic development is by mobilizing capital. Companies can raise capital by issuing stocks and bonds, which allows them to finance their projects and investments. This, in turn, leads to economic growth.
