Authors: Megha Hasmukh Lalcheta  , S R Niveditha  , Vivek Pramod Vithalani
Published: October 2023

Background: Human placenta is a diary of all the prenatal events and it’s study may provide valuable insight into pathophysiology of many diseases. One such disease preeclampsia (PE) is a leading contributor of maternal/fetal mortality and morbidity. In a quest to improve the treatment protocols, newer etiologies are researched, the latest being Androgen Receptor (AR) expression in PE placentae. Methodology: Study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Bengaluru over a period of 18 months. Placentae (15) from singleton pregnancies with PE formed the study group while placentae (5) from normotensive pregnancies were the control group. Gross and histopathological findings followed by immunohistochemistry of AR was performed on all placentae and categorized based on the percentage of villi stained. Intracellular localisation and the type of cells staining were also recorded. Results: Mean age was 28 years, majority (73%) of PE were in 28-32 weeks gestation group, with 46% being primigravidae. Past history of PE was observed in 75% while 53% had family history of PE. Decreased placental weight, increased syncytial knots, accelerated villous maturation and stromal fibrosis, fibrinoid necrosis and mural hypertrophy of arterioles were statistically significant findings in PE group. AR staining was seen in 16/20 (80%) with 11/15 PE cases showing 2+ and 3+ staining. Cytoplasmic staining was commonly seen in Syncytiotrophoblast, Cytotrophoblast & stromal cells in both groups. Conclusion: AR expression was seen both in PE and non-PE placentae, although AR expression is increased in the former. Stillbirths were associated with positive AR despite clinically classified as mild PE, while negative AR was associated with live births. AR expression could be a new marker for PE with adverse outcome especially in recurrent cases.

The EEG study complements history and CT scan of the brain in defining and correlating the lesions precisely.
A Review on the prospects and challenges of integrating IoT technologies in circular business models
Authors: Abdullahi Giza Abubakar
Published: October 2023

In recent times, there has been an increasing imperative to embrace Circular Business Models (CBM) as an indispensable means for enhancing businesses. Nevertheless, existing academic discourse rarely investigates the complex relationship between the Internet of Things (IoT) and CBM. This research paper initiates its investigation by identifying four pivotal IoT capabilities, namely monitoring, tracking, optimisation, and design evolution, all of which are instrumental in enhancing the performance of CBM, as grounded in the ReSOLVE framework. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were employed for systematic literature review in order to scrutinise how these identified IoT capabilities contribute to the core concepts of the 6R-CBM and CBM-IoT cross-section heatmaps and relationship frameworks. Finally, a comprehensive examination of the challenges impeding the realisation of IoT-enabled CBM is presented. The findings of this study reveal that Loop and Optimise business models are the predominant subjects of current research endeavours. IoT emerges as a pivotal player in these business models, primarily through its tracking, monitoring, and optimisation capabilities. In contrast, there is a noticeable absence of (quantitative) case studies pertaining to Virtualize, Exchange, and Regenerate CBM. Notably, IoT exhibits the potential to limit energy consumption significantly. However, it is essential to acknowledge that impediments associated with IoT hardware, software, protocol energy consumption, interoperability, security, and financial investments may pose substantial challenges to the broader adoption of IoT within the CBM.

Renewable energy sources (RES) are currently experiencing significant expansion, and the integration of these sources into power systems necessitates more complex auxiliary facilities. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) have been widely recognized in recent literature as an effective means of enhancing control capabilities. This study focuses on the implementation of an Automatic Generation Control (AGC) system with the integration of BESS in a multi-area network. Maintaining system frequency, especially during peak loads, poses challenges for AGC systems. The objective of this study is to investigate the utilization of BESS to enhance AGC for frequency control in power system networks. Additionally, the effectiveness of BESS in improving frequency control in multi-area networks is demonstrated through several case studies. The AGC and BESS simulations were conducted using MATLAB Simulink to evaluate the proposed frequency control method's effectiveness.

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology is considered crucial for the development of future fifth-generation (5G) systems. However, a limitation of massive MIMO systems arises from the lack of orthogonality in the pilot sequences transmitted by users from a single cell to neighboring cells. To address this constraint, a proposed solution involves utilizing orthogonal pilot reuse sequences (PRS) and zero forced (ZF) pre-coding techniques. The primary objective of these techniques is to eradicate channel interference and improve the experience of end users who are afflicted by low-quality channels. The assessment of the channel involves evaluating its quality through channel assessment, conducting comprehensive evaluations of large-scale shutdowns, and analyzing the maximum transmission efficiency. By assigning PRS to a group of users, the proposed approach establishes lower bounds for the achievable downlink data rate (DR) and signal-to-interference noise ratio (SINR). These bounds are derived by considering the number of antennas approaches infinity which helps mitigate interference. Simulation results demonstrate that the utilization of improved channel evaluation and reduced loss leads to higher DR. When comparing different precoding techniques, the ZF method outperforms maximum ratio transmission (MRT) precoders in achieving a higher DR, particularly when the number of cells reaches 𝛶𝛶𝑝𝑝=7.

This wireless monitoring system is developed to alert and warn the resident regarding the upcoming flood. Due to the floods that occur every year, especially during the monsoon season, the loss and damage done by this disaster are uncontrollable. When the water level rise-up above the safe ground, it may hit the communication substation, as well as the power tower. In most cases, many residents are not alert with their surroundings because there is no alert system that can remind them regarding to the issues that will arise. By not preparing themselves for the upcoming nature disaster, it could endanger themselves and destroy their property. Thus, this project focus on monitoring a real-time river water level system for flood prediction purposes which utilize three devices connected together in a centralized system. By having this system, people will be notified about the current situation and the water level of the river near to them via Internet of Things (IoT) such as Blynk application. ESP32 and ESP32-Cam are used as the main microcontroller to control the system. The sensor used to detect the water level at the river is TF Mini Lidar and ultrasonic sensor for the water level detection of the rain gauge. The ESP32-cam are used to monitor the surrounding area at the river. The combination of these three systems is used to monitor and predict the flood occurrence.

Many ofthe governments in the Middle East have overlooked recycling end-of-life vehicles (ELV) for far too long. This is probably because ELV activities are not in line with the governments' strategic short-term objectives. This research evaluates Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)countries and selectedcountries in the Middle East such as Egypt and Iran's standard operating procedures (SOP) fordisposing of the carsand method in keeping unroadworthy-cars off the road. The elements studied here regarding ELV are relevant acts, emission control initiatives, and thedisassembly of car procedure. The methods used here are desktop benchmarking and analysis of statistics regarding registered and deregistered cars which include surveys to users and relevant government officials. It is found that generally the governments in the Middle East are lacking in implementing clear directionsto ensure sustainable and environmentally friendly ELV as compared with East Asian nations such as Japan, Taiwan and Malaysia. Among the Middle Eastern countries,Qatarprovidesmuch more clear directionsregarding their ELVmethods. The outcome heresheds some light on the entire procedures taken via these nations in managing ELV initiatives and publicawareness. This studywill benefit the nations as the governmentscan implementELV initiatives, as in Europe and East Asian countries.

This study investigated the aerosol particle spreading characteristic under transient state at different location released by an assailantinside a mosque. Particles deposited at receivers were used to determine the virus reproductive number (Ro) over time. The spreading during coughing process wasvalidated with previous literature review using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation study. Mesh sensitivity study was done on the model to get better accuracy results and optimum computational load. Themodel involved internal space of the mosque and 160 prayers during the congregation prayers. It was discovered that, the particle spreading characteristics wasfound to be influenced mostly by the velocity distribution and velocity vector inside the mosque. This is due to force flow generated by fan and air conditionerair flow. Particles size less than 10μm werethe most deposited on the wall and ceiling. The particles greater than 30μm deposited on the ground andthe prayers body. The location of assailant at the center wasfound to cause the most infection among the prayers which was52% of the total prayer with the Roof 0.83. The assailant at top right and bottom right produced high Roof 0.73 and 0.6 while top left produced the lowest which was0.32. The existence of partition wasfound to reduce the particle spreading from the assailant at bottom left.
