Published: October 2022

The educational sector is now faced with the reality that online learning is inevitable as with the outbreak of Covid-19 which broke out in the year 2019. Countries were affected by this pandemic as the economy crumbled due to the enforcement of the lockdown as advised by the World Health Organization (WHO). The educational sector was not immune from the adverse effects brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. While some educational institutions were able to carry on with learning online, some institutions remained shut down thereby disrupting the academic schedule and timelines. After identifying the major setbacks and impact of the Covid-19 within the educational sector, an e-learning PWA model was proposed. A critical review to solidify the arguments for the PWA technology was carried out. The adoption of this model will allow e-learning applications to run on computers of any operating system as well as mobile or smartphones of any platform, the proposed model will also ease the development of e-learning applications and facilitate learning especially for students in remote areas.

Published: October 2022

Sheet music is a transcribed or printed type of melodic documentation that portrays the rhythms, harmonies, pitches of music with the assistance of melodic images. Printed music is the most essential instrument for artists to learn and play music. An educated musician can, from this sheet, play an entire grand composition. However, making sheet music from scratch is a very long and intricate process. A lot of musical experience is required for making sheet music from music one hears and even experts tend to make mistakes. This makes it almost impossible for beginners who are unable to distinguish between different chords to play the music that they hear. We aim to create a system that would provide the user with the needed sheet music by taking the input from the user in the form of an audio mp3 file. The proposed system automatically generates sheet music directly from recorded songs. This system proposed is mainly composed of estimation of chords then converting it into MIDI file which is a computer understandable language, and eventually into sheet music. All stereo audio recordings are converted into mono which further resampled to 16 kHz. Music generation is also applied which gives a priming sequence to the model in the types of a MIDI file and then predicts the further notes to help musicians form further melody while the composition of music is taking place. Beginners and lesser experienced musicians also struggle with procuring sheet music for melodies and are limited to only what is available from other professional transcribers. For professional musicians, it helps to lay the foundations and automates a major part of the creation process. Professionals can further improve the automatically generated sheet music without the burden of starting from scratch

Authors: Sen Poly Sil , Mukherjee Nandini
Published: October 2022

Electronic Health Records (EHR) and other health standards are in use for quite some time now in some of the developed countries. Simultaneously, with the advancement of ICT-based infrastructure for providing smart healthcare services, volume of health data has increased vastly and storage and management of this huge volume ofdata, which also have the other properties of big data, has evolved as a major challenge. The objective of this paper is to investigate whether the presently available EHR standards and other related standards can adequately handle the data, which are generated through a smart healthcare system. Here, we consider some of the well-known EHR standards and related standards, which have been proposed and are commonly used in various countries. These standards are studied in the context of data storage, data representation and data handling. Suitability of these standards is analyzed in terms of different evaluation factors, such as portability, scalability, and interoperability. Moreover, the implementation experiences of these standards are also considered. For this analysis, the authors consulted the survey papers and research papers describing the experiences of the researchers, as well as the users. The paper concludes that in a smart healthcare system various types of data are generated, that include structured data like EHRs, as well as unstructured clinical data of patients, some of which need to be accessed quickly and frequently. Thus, an EHR system should be supplemented with models for representing unstructured data. A suitable ontology is required for designing a storage structure for storing healthcare data.

Published: October 2022

Development and maturity of any technology provides both wounds (lessons learnt to maneuver risks) and wisdom (tactics to steer through opportunities). It is said that one has to choose not to complain on the wounds, instead cherish the wisdom. Same is the story with digitalization in the power sector. Digitalization is akin to electricity, a general-purpose technology, agnostic to sector and is ubiquitous in use (Digital America, McKinsey, 2015). “Electricity changed nearly everything about the way we live and work—and that scale of transformation is possible with the Internet of Things.” Ian Goldin, Director of Oxford Martin School, University of Oxford. Energy is essential for human survival and development. So has become the digitalization. This paper lays out the research proposal which intends to find out the reasons why the marriage between energy, in particular power, and digitalization sectors has not gone a long way, and how to make it happen with longevity using a framework

Sending messages automatically without the involvement of human input is known as Message Automation or Text Automation. With the help of automation of text messages, it gets a lot easier to send a right message to the right person at the right time. It all gets effortless when we chose automation over human interference. Text Automation can include generating an appropriate answer by reading the keywords given by the user or sending various suggestions automatically once we shop online, etc.Rather than replying one person at one time, or instead of forwarding numerous messages, we can automate messages in such a way that we save a lot of time doing multiple tasks at a same time. Automating messages makes work easy and it keeps your tone of voice same throughout the conversation. A survey reveals that 9 out of 10 customers talk business via messaging/texting. This makes work less obstructive, makes it faster and user convenient..

Published: October 2022

Image restoration is a technique for recovering images from corrupted images that have blur and noise, lowering the image's quality. Motion blur, low resolution, moisture in the atmosphere, and other factors can all contribute to image noise. For noise removal, there are a variety of restoration techniques and a spatial domain filter. To eliminate blur and scratches in deteriorated photographs, an image restoration method has been developed. Deep learning has gained popularity as a method for image restoration during the last few years. Denoising and other image restoration operations are necessary steps in many image processing applications. Image fusion using the stacked median operator, low resolution detail improvement using guided super sampling, and repeated visual consistency assessment and refining are the three processes in the restoration process. Two VAEs (Variational Autoencoders) are trained in this model to translate old and clean pictures into two latent spaces, respectively. This is due to the fact that they are all using supervised learning, which is a difficulty created by the domain gap between the original image and the ones synthesized for training. The suggested project offers a cost-effective solution that can deal with noise, picture rotations, and occlusions.

Editorial Perspective – Squids, University 3.0 and Activism
Authors: Boehm Carola
Published: October 2022

I would argue, we could all do with becoming a little more rebellious. And this word, “rebel”, often appears in the context of academic freedom. As Howson in this volume suggests, not having had a universal definition of academic freedom has not stopped at least some countries
of having histories of universities as hubs of rebellion. And as Manathunga states: universities offer “important spaces for resistance, rebellion, and political rejuvenation”. Connected to this is, I would argue, that universities are key to creating that underpinning knowledge
for us humans to understand the difficult choices we will surely have to make. And here today, writing this, I would argue that this Special Issue is one of our feeble attempts to nurture that little bit of healthy rebellion, a little bit of academic activism for the sake of our collective
futures, feeble in the context of the size of the challenges upon us: from human extinction, the rejection of democracy, to the denunciation of the value of knowledge. But it's not so feeble in the light of slowly, but steadily building up of a critical body of work that will undoubtedly be
used to build our future institutions that will be much more designed to handle these challenges without retreating into a helpless paralysis, one I feel has affected many of our institutions of today.
2 Academic Activism Reconsidered – between Societal Impact and Emancipation
Authors: Bengtsen Søren S.E.
Published: October 2022

Abstract: In this essay, I argue that the meaning of academic activism focusing narrowly on direct, immediate, political, and visible forms of action and agency needs to be supplemented by a more nuanced understanding including dimensions of academic re-action, co-action,
and inter-action. In universities today, we are witnessing an entrepreneurial turn of research environments with an ever-increasing focus on the roles of professionalization and employability in researcher education and careers. As a counter-view, the essay aims to open up the conceptual
understanding of the interconnectedness between research and its societal contexts. I shall argue that these relationships cannot exhaustively be described through current discourses about societal impact but need a broader and more inclusive vocabulary including terms like societal engagement,
societal responsibility, societal value, and societal dialogue and commitment. I shall work from a philosophical foundation in the critical realism of Roy Bhaskar coupled with recent discussions within the literature of academic activism.

Authors: Shah Esha Bhavin , Gajjar Anuradha
Published: October 2022

Background: Nutraceuticals have always been considered natural and safe supplements that may prevent disease, may substitute prescription drugs, compensate for a poor diet or promote health. Several nutraceutical products in the market today play roles as antioxidants and probiotics. One such nutraceutical is Astaxanthin, a red-pigmented keto-carotenoid, which offers a plethora of uses and health benefits. Astaxanthin, like many carotenoids, is a lipid-soluble pigment which faces solubility and bioavailability issues owing to its lipophilicity, due to which its estimation is challenging. And the analysis of a simple solvent extract of Astaxanthin would produce many ester-astaxanthin “peaks” and utilize costly organic solvents. Additionally, the literature review indicates the use of very complex mobile phases and tedious solvent extraction procedures involved in the estimation of Astaxanthin. 

Objective: The manuscript describes the development and validation of a rapid, sensitive and specific Reverse Phase-High Performance Liquid Chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method involving Ultraviolet (UV) detection for the determination and quantification of nutraceutical Astaxanthin in bulk and capsule dosage forms.  

Methods: Chromatography was carried out on an Inertsil ODS C18 (250 x 4.6 mm), 5µ, using a filtered and degassed mixture of Water: Acetonitrile (30:70% v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL /min with isocratic elution method and effluent was monitored at 478 nm. 

Results: The method was linear in the range of 5 – 15 μg mL-1 of Astaxanthin. The method was validated with respect to precision, accuracy, specificity and robustness. The run time of the analyte was 8.45 min. 

Conclusion: The developed method is simple, specific, precise, accurate, and robust and shows no interference with diluents which proves the adaptability of the method for routine analysis of the nutraceutical Astaxanthin in bulk and marketed formulations.

Published: October 2022

Objectives: Chemotherapy has various side effects and toxins, to overcome these problems nanoparticles are formed. Nanoparticles accumulate in tumor cells due to EPR effect. Given the role of P-gp in influencing drug’s pharmacology, methods to overcome P-gp mediated efflux have been investigated. The objectives of present research were to formulate nanoparticles containing DOX and PTX. The present research also includes the potential of flavonoids such as silymarin (SLM) to act as    P-gp inhibitors, enabling increased absorption and inhibition of excretion and modulation of multi-drug resistance. 

Materials and Methods: Nanoparticles of PLGA and BSA were developed paclitaxel (PTX). Using 23 factorial designs total eight formulations of PTX-PLGA and PTX-BSA nanoparticles were prepared. PLGA (A,) poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) (B) and speed (C) used as independent variants in size of the particles (Y1), efficiency of entrapment (Y2) and % release of drug (Y3) taken as a dependent variable. PTX was successfully applied to the micelles by dissolving.

Results: The median diameter of PTX-BSA and PTX-PLGA nanoparticles ranged from 104 to 1150 nm and 110 to 1023 nm respectively. The effectiveness of the entrapment and release of in vitro drugs also rely on the solubility of the drug and the polymer in the solvent. The use of software is a systematic tool for optimization, and it helps to reduce the cost of experiments.

Conclusion: From the experiments it was concluded that the prepared formulation helped to overcome the multiple drug resistance by incorporation of P-gp inhibitor like silymarin.

Background

Prevalence of knee osteoarthritis is rising in India probably due to the larger proportion of the population attaining longevity and obesity becoming very common in the population. This has subsequently led to increasing demand for knee arthroplasty. Correct diagnosis and classification of knee osteoarthritis (OA) has therefore provoked greater interest in following up and planning for either conservative or operative management. 

Method

We selected 120 radiographic examinations of the knee taken of patients visiting the SriMedilife Rheumatology Clinic at Warangal and manually categorized them on the basis of the Kellgren and Lawrence grading. 

Result

In the present study, it has been observed that “both Gabapentin and Duloxetine had similar efficacy that was acceptable at the end of the three months in the treatment for reducing pain and improving WOMAC score and its subscales with no significant difference between the groups (p=0.3889). However, the time required for Duloxetine to produce significant effects was after first month, while the effects of Gabapentin gradually began to be observed only after the second month of its treatment.”

Conclusion

We conclude that both gabapentin and duloxetine have approximately similar and acceptable effects in pain reduction and improvement of functional status in patients with knee OA at the end of the third month’s treatment.
Laicidad y objeción de conciencia en el Derecho y la jurisprudencia comparada
Authors: Oviedo Soto José Roberto
Published: October 2022

El concepto de laicidad hace alusión a la idea principal de separación de toda injerencia religiosa de las decisiones políticas que deba asumir el Estado en el ejercicio de sus atribuciones constitucionales. En ese sentido se consideró importante realizar un estudio comparativo entre algunos ordenamientos jurídicos y de sus respetivos fallos judiciales que sientan criterios jurisprudenciales; ello, para verificar de qué manera se ha normado, o no, esa separación y cómo esa perspectiva jurídica normativa influye en las decisiones judiciales que resuelven determinados casos de trascendencia nacional y doctrinaria y, a su vez, cómo opera el derecho de objeción en la resolución de casos concretos dentro del marco de un Estado de Derecho.

Por ello, se estudiaron determinados ordenamientos jurídicos de la región latinoamericana (Chile, Costa Rica y Colombia) y, posteriormente, se hará referencia a la jurisprudencia sentada por la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos que ha considerado, en algunos fallos, lo relativo al principio de  separación Iglesia-Estado y al derecho humano de las personas a vivir conforme a sus principios de verdad personales y cómo los Estados que han aceptado su competencia contenciosa deben hacer acopio a lo dispuesto por ese tribunal regional.

Published: October 2022

Rural road network has been considered as the combinations of several routes into a more or less integrated structure permitting movements between many nodes. The study evaluated road network level of seven (7) villages in Oriire LGA of Oyo State. Oriire LGA is one of the agricultural producing areas of Oyo State this is because the major occupation is agriculture. Geographical information system was used to capture the road network pattern of the study area. Connectivity indices such as alpha (α), beta (β), gamma (γ) and cyclomatic number (μ) were adopted to evaluate the level of connectivity. The result revealed that, (α = 0.87), (β = 1.87), (γ = 0.78) and (μ = 7) which are significant as 0.5, 0.1, 0.5 and 1-10 respectively. These values indicated that, the selected villages have nodal connectivity of at least three (3) and that, the connectivity level is at medium. The study concluded that, the study area is connected by roads however, the connectivity do not tend to the most important village (Tewure) the rural commercial center. It is therefore suggested that, Onigba with the highest nodal connectivity be made a mini-rural market.
