Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness
Authors: Teh Carren S. , Iffah Salim , Prepageran Narayanan
Published: April 2022

Objectives:

Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a chronic functional vestibular disorder which is also the most common cause of chronic dizziness. Effective treatment is dependent on the awareness of the provider's knowledge of PPPD and correct provision of treatment. This study was aimed to assess the awareness of PPPD and practice patterns among a diverse group of providers who care for patients with chronic dizziness in the outpatient clinics.

Materials and Methods:

A 12-question web-based survey was distributed to a cross-sectional convenience sample of medical providers from primary care including general practitioners, otorhinolaryngology (ORL) and internal medicine all over Malaysia. We analyzed the responses using multivariate logistic regression.

Results:

Of the 186 included responses, only 46.7% (85 respondents) replied they have heard of PPPD and 158 (84.9%) have actually encountered patients with symptoms describing PPPD. Those in primary care had less odds of having heard of PPPD (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.37 confidence interval [CI] 0.18–0.76) nor treated patients with PPPD symptoms (aOR 0.18 CI 0.07–0.49) when compared to the General Medical and ORL providers. In terms of treatment of PPPD, gender, level of training, and practice setting predicted the provision of therapy.

Conclusion:

PPPD awareness is still lacking among our providers and the current practices reflect that the management of chronic dizziness is focused on ruling out systemic causes. Now is the time to invest in health communication strategies to improve the awareness and knowledge of managing chronic dizziness especially PPPD.
A Study of Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential and Clinical Features in Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
Authors: Saidha Poonam Kumar , Chandran Dali , Sima Natashya , D'souza Ophelia
Published: April 2022

Background:

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common vestibular disorder in adults caused by degeneration of the otolithic organs in most cases but may also be a consequence of head injury, labyrinthitis, and ischemia in the distribution of the anterior vestibular artery or prolonged bed rest. The aim of the study is to find the correlation of alterations in vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) recordings in BPPV patients, with other associated symptoms.

Materials and Methods:

The study was conducted in 29 BPPV patients over a 3-year period. All patients were investigated with pure-tone audiometry, bithermal caloric test with Electronystagmography (ENG) recording, and VEMP recording. Clinical tests included Romberg, Sharpened Romberg, and Dix–Hallpike tests. Associated parameters were recorded, and any association with abnormal VEMP was evaluated.

Results:

VEMP was abnormal in three patients. There was no association of abnormal p or n latency with BPPV. No significant relationship with any clinical parameter was observed.

Conclusions:

BPPV is associated with the occurrence of abnormal VEMP recordings, possibly due to degeneration of the saccular macula, but a reproducible association is not demonstrable in a significant way.

The cerebellopontine angle (CPA) is a cerebrospinal fluid-filled space, found at the junction between the cerebellum and pons. Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is the most common CPA tumor. Typical initial symptoms are unilateral or asymmetrical hearing impairment, tinnitus in the affected ear, or imbalance or vertigo. We report an unusual case of the patient who presented with right sensorineural hearing loss but was found to have left VS in the normal hearing ear.
Comparative Study of Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology and Needle Core Biopsy in the Diagnosis of Breast Lumps with Histopathological Correlation
Authors: Siddique Rizia , Sinha Anuradha , Adhikary Moumita , Phukan Jyoti Prakash
Published: April 2022

Introduction:

Diseases of breast constitute a large proportion of cases in surgical practice and need to be differentiate between benign from malignant lesions prior to definite treatment.

Aims and Objective:

The aim is to determine the accuracy with the benign and malignant lesions can be differentiated by fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and needle core biopsy (NCB) and to correlate the findings of NCB with histopathological diagnosis.

Materials and Methods:

It is a prospective study for one and half years comprising of 104 patients of breast lumps who underwent FNAC, NCB, and surgical excision followed by histopathological examination. Data have been collected and analyzed regarding sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of FNAC and NCB in comparison with histopathology (HP).

Results:

Out of 104 patients, the most common age group is 41–50 years (35 cases, 33.7%). The most common HP diagnosis was infiltrating ductal carcinoma followed by ductal carcinoma in situ (50 cases and 12 cases, respectively). In our study, we found FNAC has sensitivity 94.3%, specificity 100%, PPV 100%, NPV 87.9%, diagnostic efficiency 95% while NCB has sensitivity 97.3%, specificity 100%, PPV 100%, NPV 81.8% and diagnostic accuracy 97.6% in diagnosing breast lumps.

Conclusion:

NCB is better in comparison to FNAC in diagnosing breast lumps. However, the role of FNAC cannot be ignored in our settings especially in the diagnosis of benign breast conditions. NCB should be considered as second-line method of investigation in case of any doubt to rule out missed diagnosis of breast carcinoma.

Authors: Jesus Enio Sebastião Vicente de , Longoni Letícia Schönhofen , Vargas Luciano Kayser , Beneduzi Anelise
Published: April 2022

This study evaluated the water and sediment quality of samples collected from different points in organic (O1, O2, O3, and O4) and conventional (C1, C2, and C3) pre-germinated rice fields located in Viamão/RS. Quality indicators such as phosphorus, dissolved oxygen, manganese, iron, turbidity, and BOD5 reduced water quality beyond Classes 3 and 4, as defined by CONAMA Resolution 357/2005. Based on the aluminum levels, the water samples collected from all the points were categorized as Class 4; furthermore, the IQA classified the quality of water samples from Points O4 and C1 as “bad.” The COD/BOD ratio was high, demonstrating that the biodegradable fraction was considerably low. The conductivity of water at points O4, C1, C2, and C3, exceeded 100 µS/cm, as defined by CETESB, indicating impacted environments. The levels of zinc in C1 and nickel in O2, C2, and C3 in the sediment exceeded the quality reference values established by the FEPAM Ordinance 85/2014. In general, the lowest water quality was observed in the samples collected from Points O2 and O4, and the lowest sediment quality was observed in the samples collected from all points in the conventional rice fields and from Point O2 in the organic rice field.

Keywords: CETESB, coliforms, CONAMA no 357/2005, FEPAM Ordinance no 85/2014, irrigated rice, physicochemical analysis.

В статье рассмотрена стохастическая модификация игры полковника Блотто, также известная как игра гладиаторов. Каждый из двух игроков обладает заданными ресурсами, которые он может произвольным образом распределить между заданным количеством гладиаторов. После распределения сил происходит сражение команд, состоящее из индивидуальных поединков гладиаторов. В каждом поединке вероятность победы гладиатора пропорциональна соответствующим ему ресурсам. Каждый игрок стремится распределить ресурсы таким образом, чтобы максимизировать вероятность своей победы. В настоящей работе рассмотрены игры, в которых более сильная команда обладает достаточно большим количеством гладиаторов. Для них описаны равновесия Нэша, представлены формулы для вычисления границ между оптимальными профилями стратегий, исследовано асимптотическое поведение таких границ.
Плотность распределения точки первого выхода двумерного диффузионного процесса из малой круговой окрестности его начальной точки: случай непостоянных коэффициентов
Authors: Harlamov Boris Pavlovich
Published: April 2022

Рассматривается двумерный диффузионный процесс. Распределение точки первого выхода такого процесса из произвольной области его значений как функция от начальной точки процесса определяется эллиптическим дифференциальным уравнением второго порядка и соответствует решению задачи Дирихле этого уравнения (случай непостоянных коэффициентов). Исследуется плотность распределения точки первого выхода процесса из малой круговой окрестности его начальной точки и ее связь с задачей Дирихле. В терминах этой асимптотики доказаны две теоремы. Первая теорема о достаточных и вторая теорема о необходимых условиях того, что распределение точки первого выхода как функция от начальной точки процесса удовлетворяет частному виду эллиптического дифференциального уравнения второго порядка, которое соответствует стандартному винеровскому процессу со сносом и обрывом. Определены устранимые члены второго порядка разложения по степеням радиуса малой круговой окрестности начальной точки процесса. В терминах устранимых членов эти две теоремы превращены в одну теорему о необходимом и достаточном условии соответствия этому винеровскому процессу.

Восстановлены опущенные Вонгом детали и приведено единое выражение полугрупповой плотности через ассоциированную функцию Лежандра. Основной анализ посвящен общему (необязательно стационарному) случаю, для которого доказана взаимосвязь между диффузиями Хуа-Пикрелла, соответствующими различным наборам параметров. Используя бета-интеграл Коши, с одной стороны, и теорему Гирсанова, с другой стороны, изучена связь между стационарным и общим случаями. Из основного результата выводятся новые интегральные представления плотности полугруппы Хуа-Пикрелла, дающие ответ на вопрос, поставленный Алили, Мацумото и Сираиси (Séminaire de Probabilités, 35, 2001). С этой целью рассмотрена полугрупповая плотность лапласиана Маасса и распространена на чисто мнимые значения магнитного поля. В последнем разделе используется формула Карлина-Макгрегора для вывода выражения полугрупповой плотности многомерной системы частиц Хуа-Пикрелла, введенная Ассиотисом.

Published: April 2022

The objective of this paper is to examine theoretical views on minority dropout decisions in higher education. This integrative review demonstrates that the dropout issue is highly complex and is comprised of different definitions and characteristics. It is required that educators clearly define the term. The review’s findings also show that minority students’ decisions to drop out from higher education involve factors of three different dimensions: psychological, physical, and environmental factors. Institutional support is necessary to assist minority students in their educational attainment. The review concludes that future research will be key in further exploring the issue of minority dropout.

Authors: Balakrishnan Charumathi , Rahman Habeebu
Published: April 2022

We investigate country-specific energy-related contextual determinants that influence companies in BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) to participate in and disclose climate change information to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). We find that the Paris Climate Agreement and country-level carbon emissions influence CDP reporting and disclosure scores. National legislations do not influence the reporting status, but they influence higher-level disclosure. Our study supports institutional theory.

Authors: Tseng Kuo-Hsiung , Chung Meng-Yun , Jhou Wei-Hong , Chang Wei-Jer , Xie Chen-Han
Published: April 2022

Body temperature is an important indicator of health monitoring. However, since animals are covered with fur, it is difficult to obtain their accurate body temperature with the traditional infrared measurement technology. To deal with this problem, this research proposes a non-contact real-time monitoring system using an infrared method combined with object detection. The system is developed based on general infrared thermal imaging technology and an infrared thermal imaging module with an image tracking algorithm. YOLO is used to detect animals, and a thermal imaging camera is used to measure the body surface temperature of animals. The result shows that the proposed system can accurately measure the body temperature of animals without being influenced by animals’ fur. In the future, it can be applied to monitor the body temperature of sick animals in veterinary hospitals.

Architects are generally highly respected in the community and architecture is an important career opportunity if you want to be seen as a respected person in the community. Because of their creativity and attention to detail, they are considered a blend of art and ingenuity. Architecture, which encompasses a variety of disciplines including art, science, history, geography and philosophy, is more difficult than many degrees to think creatively and technically. Architecture is an incredibly time consuming subject, with an average workload of 36.7 hours per week. Mathematics is difficult in architecture In general, the mathematics required for architecture is not so difficult. You have to do addition and multiplication, create and solve equations; you do not have to pass an advanced calculus exam to work in the industry. The beauty of Architecture is about the performance and behavior of architectural structures and facade elements. The structural form should have an aesthetic appeal, while being driven by engineering ideas. They must have a variety of qualities, most of which must be well understood. Architects must have a strong understanding of all building fields, including architecture, electrical and mechanical engineering. Wisdom is needed. Being smart does not make you a better architect, it gives you a better foundation. A good architect wants to know anything and everything about a given project. They constantly ask questions, talk to superiors, seek feedback and stay in touch overall to make sure they are getting the project right.
Create a Virtual Learning Environment to Test and Validate the behaviour of Autonomous Vehicles
Authors:   University of Leeds, INDIA, Gulati Komal , Kubiak Krzysztof ,   University of Leeds, UNITED KINGDOM
Published: April 2022

"Climate change and the need for renewable energy are driving the development of electric and hybrid vehicles, however, concerns about road safety still remain. To address this issue and provide better safety and increased mobility there is a need for the development of autonomous vehicle technology and now the automotive industry is heading towards bringing fully autonomous vehicles on the public roads in the next few decades. The major concern with these technology-driven vehicles is testing of autonomous vehicles on public roads as no human intervention would be allowed while driving and this may involve some risk for the driver and the surrounding environment as any error or fault in the system may lead to damage of that environment, loss of manufacturing cost, time, energy and even severe accidents could lead to loss of life. In addition, these vehicles consist of more complex design than traditional vehicles and thus comparatively would require billions of miles of testing. Considering the above factors, the industry has come up with the solutions to test these vehicles in a virtual environment first using the software in the loop approach. This concept is still in development and therefore this paper aims to develop a virtual learning environment where the performance of the control algorithms for an autonomous vehicle can be tested and validated under different driving scenarios. Rigorous research was first carried out to find out the available testing methods and software for performing simulations using different algorithms imposed on the software model for object and path detection. Based on this review a modeling design approach was chosen to perform simulations in MATLAB software. Different driving test scenarios such as a roundabout and a parking lot were created in the Automated Driving System Toolbox and simulation was run in Simulink to test the behaviour of vehicle model in terms of Automated Emergency Braking, Lateral Control, Cruise Control and results were observed and analyzed in Bird’s Eye Scope view and in 3-Dimensional Environment using Unreal Engine. Sensor Fusion technique was used to obtain more precise and accurate results. Vehicle dynamics of the model were also tested in order to compare the stability of the vehicle on the basis of Kinematic and Dynamic Model respectively. The functionality provided by the software was fully explored and relevant results were presented. This paper is focusing on building a flexible virtual testing environment that can be easily deployed by SME’s and start-up companies to develop and test autonomous driving algorithms using the software in the loop approach."

"The development of automated driving functions belongs among the most complex tasks, which have been focused on by academia and industry in the recent decade. The advantages of automated driving are enabled by achievements in many levels, such as the development of sensors, object tracking algorithms, car2x communication, planning and decision, and many others. Automated driving should contribute to a higher level of safety by reducing human driving errors, reduced congestion, CO2 emissions by optimizing the traffic flow, and finally lower stress and higher comfort for the vehicle occupants. It will also bring a new business model in the area of mobility. These benefits are possible due to the wide development of new technologies and the posterior tests required for validation on the system and sub-system levels. This paper presents an open vehicle platform for the development and testing of automated driving functions and their applications. They range from driving functions for SAE level 2, in which the driver is present and must monitor the environment to higher levels such as automated valet parking. Another application field is connected with the teleoperated driving based on efficient c2i communication. The platform is based on a production vehicle Renault Twizy extended with a drive-by-wire system for actuation and control of longitudinal and lateral dynamics connected through the low-level drive-by-wire controller by CAN bus to the control devices. The open vehicle interface enables to approach of the actuators from different HW and AW configurations. The universal sensor mounts on the modified car body enable flexible modification of sensor configuration. The vehicle can be equipped with a LIDAR and up to 8 cameras and can also be extended with radars, GNSS, and ultrasonic sensors. It also contains an in-vehicle computer, which processes, in real-time, all the detection data of the environment and outputs the desired commands to the drive by wire control unit. The open software interface, in this case, an open-source autonomous driving stack, provides predefined modules for perception, decision, and planning. Additionally, it allows users to implement their own modules. In the perception module, the LIDAR is responsible for localization, through prerecorded point cloud maps, detection, and tracking of objects in the surrounding. For instance, it is also possible to perform sensor fusion with camera data for object recognition. With this data, the system provides the best trajectory and can avoid unexpected obstacles. After all, the software outputs a set of velocity, angular velocity, wheel angle, and curvature, which is transferred by CAN bus to the drive-by-wire low-level controller. Then, the low-level controller sends the commands to the actuators."

The societal mission of mitigating air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions are forcing urban agglomerations worldwide strongly greening their urban transportation systems. The global megatrend of urbanization aggravates those challenges by steadily increasing the demand for urban movements of people and goods. Recent research concludes that the autonomous cars propagated in this context carry the risk of significant rebound effects and therefor make the overall societal benefit appear at least doubtful [Fraedrich et al. 2017; Hörl et al. 2019]. Shared autonomous fleets of electrically powered micro-vehicles, on the other hand, have the potential to reduce emissions through their electric powertrains, to avoid traffic jams by substituting of passenger cars, to achieve a high degree of comfort and flexibility compared to the classic car through automated provision and at the same time strengthen public transport as integrated last mile service. At the same time, micro-vehicles, for example in the form of cargo bikes, can be tailored very variably to a specific usage scenario to exploiting further efficiency gains. The authors propose a use case in which an electrified three-wheeled cargo bike, flexibly called to any location at any time, is provided in an automated manner and can be transferred to manual operation after being handed over to the user. After use, the vehicle is released and returns to the depot or is ready for the next request. The separation into automated provision and manual mobility service simplifies the safety concepts and functional safety of the system and thus, from the authors' point of view, increases the realization potential compared to the privat autonomous vehicles (PAV) or shared autonomous vehicles (SAV). The technical implications of this scenario are very similar to those of the autonomous car, but in some cases address significantly different focus, as the article will show. This paper describes the approaches developed during the prototypical realization of the usage scenario and presents proposals for solutions. For this purpose, first relevant requirements are defined, the existing vehicle and sensor concept are described in detail, and solutions for environment perception, prediction, localization, trajectory planning, and interaction design as well as for the confection of the overall logistics system are presented and evaluated in a simulative or experimental manner.
AUTOSAR-Compliant Methodology for Calibrating ECUs using Universal Calibration and Measurement Protocol
Authors:   Siemens Digital Industries Software, Integrated Electrical System Embedded Segment, EGYPT, Islam Gamal Islam Gamal
Published: April 2022

"I. POINTS TO BE ADDRESSED Electronic Control Unit (ECU) calibration, i.e., finding optimal values for ECU-parameters of a new vehicle, has become a crucial element for the overall vehicle performance. It is an essential part of the development process: from functional development to production. The main challenges in calibrating complex ECUs are tuning thousands of calibration parameters and taking into account numerous interactions between different software functions and ECUs. In addition, calibration tasks are normally performed in a work-split between Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), tier-1 suppliers and basic software (BSW) suppliers. Moreover, calibration of electronic systems have to be done for a number of model variants or different vehicles which are sold in the different markets. Accordingly, companies require solutions that combine human expertise and easy data handling to manage complex calibration tasks. II. METHODOLOGY A complete calibration system solution consists of: a target ECU, on top of which a specific system is running, along with an embedded Universal Calibration and Measurement Protocol (XCP) driver; a Measurement and Calibration (MC) tool that usually runs on a PC; and an interface through which the target ECU is connected to the MC tool. In this paper, we will introduce a complete and efficient toolchain for performing calibration and measurement processes, so that ECU software is parameterized in such a manner that the behavior of vehicle systems can be easily adapted to a variety of vehicle models or system variants. Additionally, we will explain the required data model through the different parts of the toolchain. III. CONCLUSION XCP has a distinct business advantage, as it increases functionality to help both the OEM and modules supplier focus on the development of electronic module applications. Additionally, internal support staff dedicated to maintain proprietary internal tools for module calibration, testing, measurement, and flash programming is no longer needed since “off-the-shelf” tools are available for this purpose. Finally, our toolchain is efficient to be used with OEMs cars that are composed of AUTOSAR-based ECUs."
De lo mítico a lo humano. Yanantin y masintin en el testimonio andino
Authors: Viera Mendoza Sara Milagros , Larrú Salazar Manuel
Published: April 2022

En esta investigación nos proponemos estudiar cómo son las relaciones de pareja en el testimonio andino. Podemos afirmar que en la cosmovisión quechua, las relaciones tanto entre los animales, los dioses, los hombres y la naturaleza se expresan en dualidades. Se trata de un tipo de estructura cognitiva que abarca todo el orden cosmológico. Por eso, todavía encontramos en la actualidad comunidades tradicionales donde hay roles desempeñados tanto por varones como por mujeres que pueden rastrearse desde las crónicas y la mitología incaica. Recordemos a la pareja mítica Manco Cápac y Mama Ocllo donde los espacios fundados representan lo alto (hanan) y lo bajo (hurin). En el dibujo cosmológico de Santacruz Pachacuti Yupanqui también hallamos de qué manera el dualismo se relaciona con figuras míticas que igualmente expresan la complementariedad de la dualidad: hanan, la parte alta, masculina (el Inca) y la zona hurin, parte baja, femenina (la Coya). En esa misma dimensión también encontramos algunas parejas del Manuscrito de Huarochirí tales como Kavillaca y Cuniraya o Chuquisuso y Pariacaca, cuyas performances implican un tipo de complementación y simetría, aspectos que nos servirán para analizar las relaciones sociales entre hombre y la mujer en el testimonio quechua y en la narrativa andina.

Published: April 2022

En este estudio se definen los mecanismos relativos a la creación de palabras en quechua ayacuchano, específicamente en el contexto de la elaboración de materiales pedagógicos de comunicación y matemáticas. Los neologismos son apremiantes para el desarrollo conceptual en el proceso de aprendizaje, donde se requiere que las lenguas originarias, además de la conformación de categorías pertinentes a su tradición sociocultural, configuren categorías concernientes conceptualmente a materias culturalmente diferentes, como las matemáticas. El análisis de datos se sustenta en la recopilación de los nuevos vocablos detectados en los cuadernos de trabajo de Comunicación y Matemática del nivel primario, elaborados por el Ministerio de Educación en quechua ayacuchano (2019). Para ello, se procedió a fichar cada uno de los neologismos de acuerdo con el protocolo del vaciado espontáneo sistemático propuesto por el Observatorio de Neología de la Universidad Pompeu Fabra. Se constata que la creación de neologismos se sustenta en procesos morfosemánticos, con predominancia en vocablos nominales y verbales.
La agradabilidad de las voces de los audiodescriptores: estudio acústico y perceptivo
Authors: Machuca Ayuso María José , Ríos Antonio
Published: April 2022

Las recomendaciones de las guías indican que la voz de las audiodescripciones no debe transmitir emociones para evitar, así, influir sobre la interpretación de una obra. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar las características de la voz de diferentes audiodescriptores para determinar qué voces perciben los usuarios como más agradables. La caracterización de una voz agradable puede contribuir a la mejora de este servicio evitando la fatiga de aquellas personas, generalmente con problemas de visión, que necesitan de dicho servicio para compensar la falta de información visual. Partiendo de un corpus de audiodescripción (uab.cat/viw), se analizan el tono, la velocidad de elocución y el volumen de voz de 10 audiodescriptores, hombres y mujeres, en tres lenguas: español, catalán e inglés. Posteriormente, las voces son evaluadas por un total de 208 sujetos, con y sin dificultad visual, nativos de estas lenguas. Aunque partíamos de la hipótesis de que las características que definen una voz agradable en una lengua sirven también para otra lengua, aunque con diferencias en función de los problemas de visión de los usuarios, los resultados muestran que la percepción de una voz agradable no depende tanto de la discapacidad visual, sino más bien de la lengua nativa en la que se produce la audiodescripción.
