У зв'язку з необхідністю збільшення ефективності цифрових систем обробки та передачі даних зростають вимоги до забезпечення їх завадостійкості. Її необхідність виникає, як правило, при оперативному зчитуванні інформації з датчиків, які використовуються в системах обр обки інформації. При цьому бажано використовувати завадостійкі коди, які одночасно дозволяють як обробляти, так і передавати інформацію. Такі коди здійснюють її наскрізний контроль. Це дозволяє підвищувати швидкість обробки та передачі інформації і при цьому економити апаратуру систем. Кодів наскрізного контролю відомо небагато, тому що найбільш вживані на практиці роздільні коди, наприклад, циклічні та подібні до них, використовуються, як правило, для передачі інформації і не можуть ефективно контролювати її обробку. Вирішують задачу наскрізного контролю нероздільні коди, а серед них на сьогодні найбільш перспективними кодами можна вважати коди Фібоначчі. Також досить ефективні в цьому плані є рівноважні і біноміальні коди. У даній роботі проводиться обґрунтування використання нероздільних кодів в завадостійких системах обробки і передачі інформації. Серед нероздільних кодів особливе місце займають коди Фібоначчі, які складаються з чисел Фібоначчі. Ці числа можна додавати, віднімати, множити та ділити. На їх основі будуються автомати Фібоначчі з широким спектром можливостей обробки інформації. Однією з її задач є фібоначчієва лічба. Фібоначчієві числа можуть бути за формою мінімальними та максимальними. Особливістю чисел Фібоначчі є те, що вони мінімальні, і тому лічба та лічильники на їх основі будуть більш простими та надійними в порівнянні з іншими способами фібоначчієвої лічби. Крім того, в них більш легко виявляються і частково виправляються поодинокі помилки. Але головне в них є те, що інформація з фібоначчієвого лічильника може безпосередньо без кодуючого пристрою направлятися в канал зв'язку, де будуть виявлятися і при необхідності виправлятися деякі помилки, що виникають в ньому. Недоліком такого кодування буде необхідність перетворювати фібоначчієву інформацію в двійкову. Однак, це перетворення потрібно робити далеко не завжди, тому що нерідко ця інформація є керуючою і відображається на відповідних пристроях відображення.

Published: August 2021

Introducción. El debate acerca del manejo de los pacientes con trauma renal continúa, pero cada vez se avala más la estrategia conservadora. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del manejo no operatorio en trauma renal, evaluando las variables que determinaron fallas en el tratamiento y sus conductas posteriores.

Métodos. Estudio observacional descriptivo y retrospectivo. Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 15 años con trauma renal confirmado con tomografía. Se excluyeron pacientes intervenidos en las primeras cuatro horas, trasplantados renales, y con nefrectomía previa. Se consignaron variables demográficas, signos vitales, características de la lesión, manejo y desenlaces.

Resultados. Se incluyeron 97 pacientes, de los cuales el 82,5 % (n=80) tuvieron manejo conservador. El trauma cerrado ocurrió en el 56,7 % (n=55) y las lesiones denominadas de alto grado correspondieron al 67 % (n=65). Los principales hallazgos fueron dolor abdominal, hematuria macroscópica y heridas en el trayecto lumbar. El 73,2 % (n=71) tenían lesiones asociadas y el 31,9 % (n=31) necesitó transfusión. Los pacientes con fracaso en el manejo conservador tenían mayor edad, menor puntaje en la escala de coma de Glasgow y trauma asociado. La eficacia del manejo no operatorio fue del 83 % (n=67). La estancia hospitalaria de seis días y la mortalidad del 9,3 % (n=9); no estuvo relacionada exclusivamente con el trauma renal sino con la gravedad del trauma.

Discusión. El trauma renal no es infrecuente y generalmente se asocia a otras lesiones. El manejo conservador ha demostrado reducción en las intervenciones innecesarias, complicaciones asociadas y nefrectomías.

Published: August 2021

Ser socialmente responsables con nuestro país y con nuestra Asociación es parte de nuestra obligación, no solo porque somos una minoría privilegiada por haber tenido la oportunidad de ser cirujanos y porque tenemos un enorme conocimiento científico y quirúrgico, sino por el deber que tenemos, como seres humanos y como colombianos, de dar un poco mas de lo que nuestra profesión implica.

La idea de este artículo de reflexión es contarles sobre el inicio y el proceso de la campaña UN APLAUSO, UNA VIDA que se desarrolló durante la pandemia por COVID-19 en 2020, para dejar una reseña histórica de lo vivido y el significativo impacto de la solidaridad y la generosidad de la sociedad colombiana al llamado que hicimos para ayudar a algunos pocos que tenían que enfrentar en primera línea al SARS-CoV-2.

La pandemia por COVID-19 trajo consigo una crisis mundial enorme, causando miles de muertes en todos los países, que al principio parecían solo anécdotas lejanas de la China o de Europa, que jamás iban a llegar a Colombia. No alcanzamos a imaginar, ni en nuestras más terribles predicciones, los efectos que esta pandemia iba a traer a nuestro país.

Authors: H. Albayati Amjad , A. Ramadan Zahraa
Published: August 2021

This study describes traffic crash rates in selected multilane rural highways in Wasit governorate in Iraq. The main objective of this research is to investigate relationships between total, fatal crash rates and their kinds and factors such as hourly traffic flow and average spot speed.

The study is based on data collected from two sources: police stations and traffic surveys. Three highways are selected to cover the locations of the accidents. The selection includes Kut – Suwera with five segments, Kut – ShekhSaad with three segments, and Kut – Hay with two segments multilane divided highways.

Multiple linear regression analysis is applied to the data by using SPSS software to attain the relationships between the dependent variables and the independent variables in order to identify elements that are strongly correlated with crashes rates and severity.

Seven regression models are developed which verify weak and strong statistical relationships between crashes types and average spot speed with hourly traffic flow respectively. As the hourly traffic flow of automobile grows, the need for safe traffic facilities also grown.
Model Order Reduction for Real-Time Hybrid Simulation: Comparing Polynomial Chaos Expansion and Neural Network methods
Authors: Tsokanas Nikolaos , Simpson Thomas , Pastorino Roland , Chatzi Eleni , Stojadinovic Bozidar
Published: August 2021

Hybrid simulation is a method used to investigate the dynamic response of a system subjected to a realistic loading scenario by combining numerical and physical substructures. To ensure high fidelity of the simulation results, it is often necessary to conduct hybrid simulation in real-time. One of the challenges arising in real-time hybrid simulation originates from high-dimensional nonlinear numerical substructures and, in particular, from the computational cost linked to the computation of their dynamic responses with sufficient accuracy. It is often the case that the simulation time-step must be decreased to capture the dynamic behavior of numerical substructures, thus resulting in longer computation. When such computation takes longer than the actual simulation time, time delays are introduced and the simulation timescale becomes distorted. In such a case, the only viable solution for doing hybrid simulation in real-time is to reduce the order of such complex numerical substructures.In this study, a model order reduction framework is proposed for real-time hybrid simulation, based on polynomial chaos expansion and feedforward neural networks. A parametric case study encompassing a virtual hybrid model is used to validate the framework. Selected numerical substructures are substituted with their respective reduced-order models. To determine the robustness of the framework, parameter sets are defined to cover the design space of interest. A comparison between the full- and reduced-order hybrid model response is delivered. The attained results demonstrate the performance of the proposed framework.
Groupitizing reflects conceptual developments in math cognition and inequities in math achievement from childhood through adolescence.

Published: August 2021

Groupitizing – the ability to take advantage of grouping cues to rapidly enumerate sets that otherwise require serial counting – is linked to conceptual aspects of numbers (accessing the cardinality of subgroups) and math (combining the subgroups values) that rapidly emerge during the first years of schooling (Starkey & McCandliss, 2014). Little else is known about its broader role in mathematical development. This study followed the development of groupitizing skill from late childhood through early adolescence (N = 1,209), revealing a pattern of progressive development over these critical years for math achievement. Individual differences were highly predictive of global math achievement from 3rd to 8th grade, above and beyond socioeconomic and cognitive (domain-general and math-specific) predictors. Experimental manipulations of item grouping cues (number of subgroups, numerical composition of subgroups) lead to similar effects that manipulations of operands have on symbolic mathematical reasoning, corroborating the view that groupitizing draws upon the same conceptual processes as symbolic math even in the absence of well-learned symbolic retrieval cues. Finally, we show that groupitizing provides new cognitive insights into the nature of the socioeconomic status achievement gap, which cannot be fully explained by familiarity with specific symbolic math facts learned in school but rather suggest inequities in educational opportunities that promote flexible mastery of conceptual processes. Taken together, groupitizing – as a non-symbolic assessment of conceptual processes in mathematics – could be a critical tool in implicitly assessing math ability.
Learning too much from too little: False face stereotypes emerge from a few exemplars and persist via insufficient sampling
Authors: Bai Xuechunzi , Uddenberg Stefan , Labbree Brandon P. , Todorov Alexander
Published: August 2021

Social stereotypes are prevalent and consequential, yet sometimes inaccurate. How do people learn these inaccurate beliefs in the first place and why do these beliefs persist in the face of counter evidence? Building on past research on cognitive limitations and environmental sample biases, we propose an integrative perspective: Insufficient statistical learning (Insta-learn). Instalearn posits that humans are active learners of the environment. Starting from a small sample, people are able to extract statistical patterns within the sample accurately and quickly. However, people do not continue sampling sufficiently. If they decide not to collect more samples once they are (prematurely) satisfied, inaccurate stereotypes can emerge even when more data would show otherwise. We investigated this hypothesis across six online experiments (N = 1565), using novel pairs of computer-generated faces and social behaviors. Fixing the population level statistics of face-behavior associations to zero and varying the initial sample statistics, we found that participants quickly learned the initial sample statistics (from as few as three examples) and persisted in using such spurious associations in their final decisions. Granting the sampling power to participants — samples were endogenously generated by participants and not defined by the experimenters — we found insufficient sampling caused spurious associations to persist. Insta-learn provides a domain-general framework for a mechanistic explanation of the emergence and persistence of social stereotypes.
Approaches to taking into account cognitive styles in the process of professional training of future software engineers
Authors: Sender Andrii
Published: August 2021

The article presents the results of a study aimed at analyzing the psychological phenomenon of «cognitive personality style».
The research goal is to determine approaches to taking into account the cognitive styles of future software engineers in the process of professional training in educational programs of master's level.
Methods. Basic research methods used were search and selection of relevant articles on the research problem in the Google Scholar search engine and bibliographic abstract database Scopus; analysis and generalization of scientific publications; study of the educational process.
The results. The scientific publications on the problem of cognitive personality styles are analyzed. The modern interpretations of this concept and its characteristics are considered. In particular, it is established that cognitive style is a well-established individual ways of intellectual behavior of the individual. It is shown that the consideration of cognitive styles is important for achieving the goals of training future software engineers in master's degree programs, as one of the requirements for them is the ability to work in conditions of uncertainty. Methods of pedagogical design taking into account cognitive styles of personality in the process of professional training of future software engineers are offered.
Conclusions. Professional training of future software engineers in a modern student-centered educational environment is based on individual qualities and cognitive processes of the individual. In addition, attention to cognitive styles of personality is increased as the sustainable ways of handling information are essential for successful activities in the information society. The relationship between the cognitive styles of the individual and the effectiveness of its activities is currently insufficiently studied, so there are a number of problems in the educational process that need to be addressed to achieve the goals of quality training of future software engineers. Based on the analysis of scientific publications and our own experience, we can offer the following approaches to taking into account the cognitive styles of higher education: building an educational process based on the formed cognitive styles for the formation of new knowledge; grouping students with different styles to work together; creating situations for the manifestation of atypical for the individual models of intellectual behavior.
The First International Guideline for Oxytocin Safely Decreased Oxytocin Amount During Cesarean Section: A Single-Institution Retrospective Analysis
Authors: Murouchi Takeshi , Murouchi Takeshi
Published: August 2021

Purpose: It is routine to administer oxytocin following delivery of the neonate during cesarean section.
However, there are many kinds of administration methods. Heesen et al. published an international
consensus statement in 2019 on the use of uterotonic agents, including oxytocin during cesarean section
[1]. Our institution adapted the guideline-based oxytocin infusion method. We verified the validity of the
new approach after one year.
Methods: A single-center retrospective study of consecutive patients who underwent cesarean section
with a new protocol or the conventional manner from November 2019 to December 2020 was conducted.
The primary endpoint was a significant difference in the amount of intraoperative hemorrhage and the
total oxytocin amount. Secondary endpoints included differences in the incidence of intraoperative
complications.
Results: The study included 174 patients: 66 in the new protocol group and 108 in the conventional
group. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups for oxytocin amount (new
protocol 4.2 [3.2-5.9] vs. conventional 5.0 [5.0-10] IU, p<0.01) with equivalent intraoperative
hemorrhages (new protocol 558 [337-963] vs. conventional 683 [484-1012] g, p=0.08). There was no
significant difference in the incidence of nausea.
Conclusion: The new guideline-based oxytocin administration safely decreased the intraoperative
oxytocin amount in our institution.

Authors: Nada Omar Hassan Ali
Published: August 2021

The paper aims to discuss IR adoption by some public and state-owned entities and identify steps that must be taken by (BKV Zrt.) in the IR implementation process. A fundamental lesson emerging from the case studies is that, as it stands, the IR Framework does not provide sufficient support for public sector entities. Thus, further effort should be made to interpret the peculiarity of public sector organizations. Also, how IR can be applied within Budapesti Közlekedési Zrt. with the expected benefits that may accrue, in addition, the costs that organizations incur in implementing IR must be considered.

Previous studies were analysed, a survey and several interviews were conducted, the results of which confirmed the assumption about the need to inform people about this problem.
Sexual and Self-Objectification: A Feminist Analysis of Selected Pakistani Short Stories in English
Authors: Ali Sajid , Iqbal Shabana , Mulghani Maleeha Akhtar
Published: August 2021

This study aims to explore the problems of sexual and self-objectification in selected short stories of Pakistani female writers writing in English. The study focuses on Talat Abbasi's Simple Questions, Bina Shah's The Wedding of Sundari, Shaila Abdullah's Moment of Reckoning, Qaisara Shahraz's A Pair of Jeans, Zaib-un-Nissa Hamidullah's The Bull and the She-Devil. The study uses the theoretical framework of Fredrickson and Roberts' sexual objectification. Sexual and self-objectification is very significant and a different issue faced by the women in the patriarchal society. This study argues that women are not only sexually abused in society and treated like useless objects, but also they internalize this attitude of society and behave as the patriarchal society expects from them. This behavior of women helps the patriarchal society to further marginalize and victimize them.
Laudato Si’ – Socioeconomic Relevance for a Dynamic, Shifting, and Challenging Future
Authors: Pavlić Richard , Rukavina Bruno
Published: August 2021

The paper deals with the relevance of Laudato Si’, five years after its publication. Given the Covid-19 crisis, which triggered the new economic crisis in the world, we believe that Laudato Si’ is more relevant in 2020 than it was in 2015. The paper analyzes three socioeconomic segments of Laudato Si’ to present its relevance today: mankind and our relationship with others, God and environment, the new economic crisis, and needed global action to comprehend and overcome the Covid-19 crisis. The processes and dangers of five years ago have not disappeared, they have only changed form. Thus, Laudato Si’ is not only relevant but can be used as a socioeconomic reconstruction program for Covid-19 aftermaths.
China's Good Neighborhood Diplomacy in South Asia (the cases of Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bhutan)
Authors: Shirgazina Elsa
Published: August 2021

In the contemporary world using of rigid methods of external policy increasingly loses its effectiveness. The popular concept of "soft power" is fully consistent with China's traditional strategy towards the outside world and it has received here a comprehensive and specific implementation in the country's political course. Meanwhile, the official line on the development of friendly and good-neighborly relations in the foreign policy of the People's Republic of China was clearly outlined during the era of Deng Xiaoping's rule and has been consistently developing since then, receiving new impulses for this. A peaceful and stable environment is seen as one of the key conditions for the country's development. Taking into account the traditional competition between China and India, Beijing's success in maintaining bilateral relations with the countries of South Asia is of particular interest. The article examines the mechanisms of «soft power» used by the PRC in relation to the neighboring states of South Asia (Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bhutan) within the framework of Beijing's declared «good neighborhood diplomacy». The author analyzes its implementation by the cases of four areas of interaction: infrastructure construction, trade and investment, political contacts, humanitarian assistance and the spread of cultural influence. In each case, the Chinese policy towards Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan and India is sequentially examined, the most significant initiatives are explored, and the factors that hinder and help in the implementation of these initiatives are identified. The author comes to the conclusion that the very idea of «good neighborhood diplomacy» is rooted in the Chinese foreign policy tradition, but its implementation faces a number of both internal and external factors.
Japanese cuisine in the world: cultural phenomenon and features of geography
Authors: Tikhotskaya Irina
Published: August 2021

Japanese cuisine, one of the few national cuisines considered as intangible cultural heritage of humankind, has gained great popularity around the world. Among the main reasons of its attractiveness to people is the association with a healthy diet due to its natural taste and nutritional balance. The aesthetic component - "food as art" also plays an important role, along with the interest of foreigners in Japanese culture. The deliberate policy of the Japanese government promoting the national cuisine abroad, has become an instrument of "soft power", and is bringing its results.
By analyzing the differences in the distribution of Japanese restaurants in cities, countries and regions of the world, the authors show and interpret the heterogeneity of Japanese cuisine worldwide at different scales. The popularity of Japanese cuisine in a given country depends on its involvement in the process of globalization. One of the most striking examples of the intra-country heterogeneity of Japanese cuisine is the United States.
The study of the microgeography of Japanese cuisine based on a core estimate of restaurant density showed that the geography of Japanese cuisine in the cities is determined by the presence or absence of a Japanese ethnic district. In case if there is one, the core of its concentration is located there, otherwise it coincides with the core of the restaurants and city as a whole.

The role of functional foods in controlling and even preventing diabetes mellitus is prominent, and adjunct therapies can be helpful in controlling some of the consequences of diabetes.Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether gallic acid, as a functional food, as well as cold atmospheric plasma, as an adjunct therapy, have an effect on the levels of some antioxidant enzymes, inflammatory factors, and the levels of oxidizing agent and blood glucose.Methods: In this study, 30 healthy individuals, as the control group, and 30 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected. Samples of people with diabetes were examined before and after treatment with gallic acid and cold atmospheric plasma (cold argon plasma jet for 10 minutes). Levels of interleukin 2 and 13 and NF-κB, as inflammatory factors, glutathione reductase, paraoxonase, and lipoprotein lipase, as antioxidants, hydrogen peroxide and blood glucose were assessed in untreated and treated diabetic groups and control group according to kit instructions.Results: Comparison of the results of the levels of inflammatory factors, antioxidants, blood glucose, and hydrogen peroxide showed a significant difference (P value < 0.05) between the diabetic and control groups. Treatment of diabetic specimens with plasma and gallic acid showed a significant increase (P value < 0.05) in glutathione reductase, paraoxonase, and NF-κB levels compared to the untreated diabetic group.Conclusions: The results showed that concomitant use of gallic acid, as well as plasma therapy, could be effective on NF-κB, glutathione reductase, and paraoxonase levels.Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, Cold plasma, Inflammatory factors, Gallic acid
COVID 19 ASSOCIATED INVASIVE FUNGAL INFECTIONS IN CHURU REGION OF RAJASTHAN
Authors: Devra Vikas , Varshney Varsha
Published: August 2021

Background: COVID 19 or severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) evolved as global pandemic since December 2019 when it was first reported in Wuhan, China. Coinfection in patients with COVID-19 has been reported in multiple studies, being bacterial in origin the most frequent; and fungal infection being reported only in severe cases.

Methods: This study was conducted at the department of E.N.T. at PanditDeenDayalUpadhyay Medical College, Churu. Cases presented to E.N.T. OPD with clinical features of invasive rhino-orbital fungal infection for the period of two month from 1st June 2021 were included in the study. Patients were clinically evaluated, HRCT, MRI scans and with KOH mount and culture of involved tissue ere done. Patient’s COVID-19 status was ascertained. The clinicopathological association of occurrence of invasive fungal infections in post covid and non-covid patients along with other risk factors like diabetes mellitus, immune compromised state and long-term steroid use was done using statistical methods

Results: We studied 21 patients who attended our OPD with features of invasive fungal infection. Most common presentation was swelling and pain in the cheek region and red eye and swelling around the eye, three patients presented with maxillary swelling with blackish discoloration of teeth. Radiological findings were suggestive of fungal etiology in all patients. KOH mount showed fungal hyphae in 20 cases. Total 20 cases were post COVID status. Old DM was there in 12 patients whereas 9 patients showed new onset hyperglycemia.

Conclusions: COVID-19 is associated with a significant incidence of secondary infections, both bacterial and fungal probably due to immune dysregulation. The widespread use of steroids/monoclonal antibodies/broad-spectrum antibiotics as part of the management protocols against COVID-19 may lead to the exacerbation of preexisting fungal diseases or development of new infection. Treating Physicians should make themselves aware and prepare for the possibility of invasive secondary fungal infections in patients with COVID-19 infection especially in patients with preexisting risk factors and should enable early diagnosis and treatment with the subsequent reduction of mortality and morbidity.

Published: August 2021

respiratory disease are responsible for a significant number of deaths and considerable suffering in human. poor health and low immunity state plays a very important  role in pathogenesis of respiratory disease.The colonization of the respiratory tract with various oral periodontopathogens may result in respiratory diseases such as bacterial pneumonia.The teeth may also serve as a reservoir for respiratory pathogen colonization and subsequent nosocomial pneumonia. The overreaction of the inflammatory process that leads to the destruction of the connective tissue is present in both periodontal disease and emphysema. The mechanisms of infection could be the aspiration into the lung of oral pathogens capable of causing pneumonia, colonization of dental plaque by respiratory pathogens followed by aspiration, or facilitation of colonization of the upper airway by pulmonary pathogens by periodontal pathogens. Many pulmonary disorders like respiratory obstructive diseases, systemic diseases with pulmonary involvement, lung cancer, cystic fibrosis or tuberculosis all have clinical and/ or therapeutic involvement of the oral cavity, which underlines the necessity of regular dental services and careful oral cavity exam, as well as an active collaboration between dental practitioners and pulmonologists
