Umbilical cord blood (UCB) consider as a waste product after obstetrical but when the medicine development, it was found that UCB abundant of life saving hematopoietic stem cell and contents of soluble growth factors which is necessary for proliferation. Alpha- antitrypsin (α1-AT) is mainly synthesized in the hepatocytes by the liver then secreted to the circulation Its function is Remove the acute inflammation through supperion cytokine production and inhibits different enzymes such as neutrophil elastase (NE) in the lungs, proteinase 3, trypsin, and cathepsin G. Lead (Pb) is one of the most toxic of the heavy metals. The children especially newborns are the most affected by Pb because of they grow up rapidly resulting impaired brain and nervous system development. Cadmium (Cd) is the metal of the 20th and its effect resulted when Cd binds to proteins rich in cystein like metallothionein which causing hepatotoxicity in the liver and through circulating accumulates in the kidney tissue via and causing nephrotoxicity. Selenium (Se) as a trace element is an essential and important for human health. The vital function of Se including thyroid hormone metabolism and anti-inflammatory, immunity, activates natural killer cells, increases activated T cells proliferation, tumor cytotoxicity and antioxidant defense. The research conducted to study of 92 specimen of mothers with their new born infants in (46 normal and 46 cesarean delivery) and examined the levels of α1-AT bu enzyme liked immune assay method. Also some heavy metals i.e. Pb, Cd in addition to the Se element were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The correlation between α1-AT with Pb, Cd and Se was instigated. Conclusions: The levels of α1-AT in the UCB was higher than their maternal sera after normal delivery this mean the new infant need to observation and monitoring of α1-AT level after the birth till seventh days, while α1-AT level in the UCB was lower level than their mothers sera in cesarean delivery.

Published: May 2022

This study, which is based on the social capital theory, explores how the political skills of salespersons (which include interpersonal influence (II), social astuteness (SA), networking ability (NA), and apparent sincerity (AS)) affect the trust of their clients in order to increase their loyalty. By incorporating the concept of political skills into research on real estate sales behavior, this study addresses the literature gap on the lack of discussion of the social abilities of salespersons in the real estate industry. To validate this theoretical model, this study targets real estate salespersons and buyers in Taiwan, by using questionnaires to collect dyadic data, and linear regression modeling to test the relevant hypotheses. The results indicate that among the political skills, II and SA are positively significant, thus indicating that salespersons with high degrees of II and SA are capable of increasing the trust of their clients, which in turn increases client loyalty. Moreover, the interaction effects on client trust are all negative and significant, which suggest that self-efficacy has a crucial moderating role. Salespersons with low self-efficacy who have NA and AS can enhance client trust. The findings of this study can be considered as constructive advice for the real estate industry in their training of salespersons.

Authors:   Department of Real Estate Business, Thammasat University, Pongprasert Pornraht
Published: May 2022

The aim of this study is to examine the factors that influence the senior condominium choices of low-to mid-income future elderlies who range between 50-59 years old in Bangkok, Thailand. As the Thai population ages, policy analysts are deeply concerned with issues related to housing the elderlies. Condominiums are the best living choice for elderlies who need to live in the urban city close to their own home and family. In addition, they encourage the elderly to live in supportive communities and reduce the difficulties of independent living, such as loneliness, isolation, lack of medical facilities and mental health issues. The independent variables of demographic characteristics and the factors associated with senior living choice which are locational attributes, physical and social environments, and safety and security are examined as measures for the relocation of future elderlies to senior condos. In this research work, 348 respondents are instructed to rate 22 statements (on a Likert scale of 1-5) on aspects related to senior living choices. The researcher of this study provides evidence of the characteristics of low-and mid-income future elderlies who intend to move to a senior condo after retirement and their preferences around senior condos. A binary logistic analysis is used to investigate the factors that have impacts on the senior condo choice of low-to mid-income future elderlies. The results indicate that demographics, physical environment, and safety and security influence why low-to mid-income future elderlies choose a senior condo for future residence.

Published: May 2022

The residential real estate market has been segmented dichotomously into owners and renters. Given the various tenures and sub-markets of the renters, it is problematic to consider them as a homogeneous target market. Based on a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 16 residential real estate executives, this paper establishes six distinct private rental target markets including: 1) hard-to-house occupants, 2) affordability renters, 3) workforce residents, 4) transitional millennials, 5) lifestyle residents, and 6) returners. This paper is unique and noteworthy as it combines the fragmented literature on private renters with insights from residential real estate executives to produce a spectrum of target markets. In addition to validating the previous literature, this paper presents new target markets and offers marketing value propositions for each of the identified groups

Bu çalışma ile annede saptanan enfeksiyonların, çocuğa geçiş riskinin değerlendirilmesi, ülkemizde tam olarak durumu bilinmeyen konjenital toksoplazmoz hakkında temel bir veri sağlanması amacıyla moleküler ve serolojik yöntemlerin bir arada kullanılması amaçlanmıştır.

XX Üniversitesi XX Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi’nde normal vajinal yolla veya sezaryenle doğum yapan 18-45 yaş arası 76 gebenin venöz kan örneği ile plasentanın maternal yüzünden doku örneği ve umblikal korddan kan örneği alındı. Gebeler rutin tetkikler sırasında istenilen ELISA anti- Toxoplasma gondii IgM/IgG sonuçlarına göre hasta ve kontrol olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Hastane Bilgi Sisteminden gebelerin yaş, gebelik sayısı, doğum sayısı ile bebeğin cinsiyeti doğum ağırlığı, apgar skoru bilgileri toplandı. Anne venöz kan örneği ve umblikal korddan alınan kan örneklerinden elde edilen serumlar T. gondii spesifik antikorlarının tespiti ve konfirmasyonu için altın standart olan Sabin-Feldman boya testi ile yeniden değerlendirildi. Plasentada T. gondii DNA varlığını saptamak için nested-PCR yönteminden yararlanıldı.

Anti-T. gondii IgM/IgG değerleri pozitif olan 25 gebenin sadece 4 (%16)’ünde anti-T. gondii IgM pozitifliği vardı. 20 (%80) gebede anti-T. gondii IgG, 1 (%4) gebede ise anti-T. gondii IgM ve anti-T. gondii IgG birlikte pozitifti. Hasta grubundaki 25 gebenin yaş ortalaması 30,3 iken kontrol grubundaki 51 gebenin ise 28,3 idi. Hasta ve kontrol grubu için değerler sırasıyla aşağıdaki gibi bulundu: Gebelik hafta ortalaması: 39,1’e 38,8; Multigrad: %80’e %73; Erkek bebek oranı: %60’a %44; Doğum ağırlığı ortalaması: 3211,4 gr’a 3236,8 gr; Apgar skoru ortalaması 7,9’a 7,9. Sonuçlar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunamadı. Anti-T. gondii IgM/IgG negatif olan 51 örneğin anne venöz ve umblikal kord serumlarının hiçbirisinde SFDT ile (%0) pozitiflik saptanmadı. Anti-T. gondii IgM/IgG pozitif 25 örneğin 13 (%52)’ünün hem anne hem de umblikal kord serumları SFDT ile negatif olarak değerlendirildi. SFDT’ye göre ELISA IgG+IgM duyarlılığı: %100; özgüllüğü: %79,7, negatif prediktif değeri: %100, pozitif prediktif değeri: %48 bulundu. İncelenen 76 (%0) plasenta örneğinin hiçbirisinde T. gondii’ye ait DNA bantları gözlenmedi.

Çalışmamızdaki maternal kanların yarısından fazlası referans SFDT ile pozitif olarak teyit edilememiştir. Plasentaların hiçbirisinde T. gondii DNA’sı saptanamamışsa da kısıtlı sayıdaki örnekle yürütülen bu pilot araştırma kapsamında XX ilinde anneden bebeğe toksoplazma geçiş riskinin düşük olduğunun söylenmesi mümkün değildir. Yöntemin oturtulması açısından büyük deneyim kazandıran bu çalışmanın özellikle anti-T. gondii IgM pozitif örnek sayısı arttırılarak ve farklı bölgelerden daha çok örnek toplanarak tekrarlanması planlanmaktadır.

Voice analysis system for detection of vishing using deep learning
Authors: Naidu Devishree
Published: May 2022

For many years, telecom fraud has caused significant financial harm to Indian telecommunications users. Traditional approaches for identifying telecom fraud frequently center on boycotting of faux phone numbers. Attackers, on the other hand, could merely escape discernment by modifying their phone numbers, which is fairly straightforward with VoIP (Voice over IP).To address this issue, this method detects telecommunication fraud supporting the substance of a spoken language rather than merely the caller's sign. This paper collects chronicles of telecommunication deceit, above all, from press sources and social platforms. To make datasets, our planned model utilizes machine learning techniques to look at knowledge and opt for high-quality descriptions from antecedently gathered knowledge. After that, Natural language processing is employed to draw out characteristics from the text- based data. Then, for extra telecommunication fraud detection, criteria to acknowledge identical material within the same call are formed. To spot telecommunication fraud online, the system provides an associate degree android application that will be loaded on a customer's smartphone. Once an associate degree incoming fraud decision is answered, the program will dynamically measure the call's contents to sight fraud. Our findings demonstrate that the system will effectively safeguard clients.

Life expectancy may be greatly improved by accurately diagnosing mental health issues at an early stage. The goal of this study is to develop strong modelling tools for mental health clinical practise by using machine learning methods. An individual's risk of developing dementia, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues will be assessed using machine learning techniques (e.g. genetics, cognition, demographics). Mental health problems may be treated more successfully when they are discovered early, which benefits both patients and the professionals who treat them. A person's psychological, emotional, and social well-being are all part of what is meant by mental health. It alters one's thoughts, feelings, and actions. From infancy and youth through maturity and beyond, good mental health is critical. The accuracy of five machine learning algorithms in detecting mental health disorders was examined in this research. Logistic regression, K-NN classifier, decision tree classifier, random forest, and stacking are the five machine learning approaches. We've tested these methods and applied them, and we've found the most accurate one out of all of them.

Published: May 2022

These days the Object-Oriented (OO) paradigm is used extensively in the development of software systems. The OO metrics can be employed to access the quality of these OO systems. Many metrics and metric suits have been developed by the scientists to access the quality of software. The properties of object-oriented designs can be measured using object-oriented metrics. With the help of metrics, estimations of project milestones can be attained more accurately. It is possible to develop software projects with nominal faults. A study shows that an estimated 42% on account of corrective maintenance can be saved by using object-oriented metrics. This paper assesses the capability of Object Oriented metrics to identify fault-proneness in Object Oriented software systems using statistical and regression analysis. Three projects from the NASA data set have been used to determine the applicability of object-oriented CK metrics. The CK metrics are used to predict the bugs in the class. The fault-proneness using OO metrics has been calculated. The information collected using this method will increase the quality and reliability of the OO software systems.
Gratitude and it’s importance
Authors: Juneja Jatinder Kaur
Published: May 2022

Gratitude is the act of expressing our feelings for others and for ourselves. We not only make others happy with simple words of love and praise, but we also feel a lot better about ourselves and our lives. Gratitude is about having the right feelings at the right time about the right things. It's inextricably linked to self-control and motivation. It may not provide immediate relief from pain and stress, but it restores our sense of control. Gratitude is a tool for increasing happiness in the context of positive psychology. The benefits of gratitude are not linked to any sort of pathology or religion, but rather to a desire to create healthy and thriving people and societies. As the preceding paragraphs demonstrated, there are numerous ways to express gratitude. Maybe it's a gratitude journal, or maybe it's treating a stranger with kindness because someone did something nice for you. Try practising gratitude the next time you have some free time. You might be surprised by the advantages it provides. Please share your thoughts and experiences with this important emotion, as always.

Background: The respiratory system involvement in hypothyroidism varies from mild dyspnea to a more severe respiratory failure. This has been reported as reduction in expiratory and inspiratory muscle strength, alveolar hypoventilation along with reduction of hypoxic and hypercapnic ventilatory drives and decreased maximal breathing capacity and decreased diffusion capacity among hypothyroid patients. Material & Methods: The present prospective study was conducted at department of respiratory medicine of our tertiary care hospital. In present study, we enrolled 50 study participants from outdoor and from ward by simple random sampling. Clearance from Institutional Ethics Committee was taken before start of study. Written informed consent was taken from each study participant Results In the present study, majority of patients showed obstructive pattern i.e. 30% which was followed by mixed pattern among 22% patients and 18% of patients showed restrictive pattern. 30% of patients showed normal respiratory pattern on pulmonary function test. On the basis of the Spirometry examination finding among case group, the mean value of FEV1 (L) was 1.38±0.68, the man value of FVC(L) was 2.24±0.71. on assessment the mean value of FEV1/FVC proportion (postbronchodilator) was 61.6 ±11.3.

Good health is the desire of all humans but it is not readily available and housing is a factor in achieving good health, however quality housing is equally not readily available. The study investigated the relationship between the state of housing components, housing quality and people' health in Ado- Ekiti as an urbanizing city in Nigeria. The research used a rigorous random selection approach to ensure that the whole study region was covered, and 1500 questionnaires were sent to homeowners. For the empirical estimate of the parameters, the research used double-log multiple linear regression. There is no pair-wise correlation greater than 0.80 among the independent variables, the findings show that neither pair-wise collinearity nor multi-collinearity will affect the regression. The greatest correlation coefficient found in this research is 0.588. As a result, the genuine independence and reliability of the variables and parameter estimates employed in this research are confirmed. The value of R square which is the coefficient of multiple determinations is 58.9 in Urban core 73.1 in Transition 76.4 in Peri-phery and 53.9 in city wide and are significant at 0.001 alpha level.

Data security plays a vital role in the field of Information Technology. Cryptography and Steganography methods are widely used to enforce security efficiently. In Spatial Domain, many steganography methods are available such as LSB, PVD etc. These existing methods always suffer from the quality, security trade off. In this paper, we proposed an enhanced LSB method to deal with such tradeoffs. The proposed method achieves the goal by employing variable embedding patterns and the results with optimized PSNR, MSE and entropy values evidently show that the quality and security are well balanced by the proposed method.

Published: May 2022

This study aimed to investigate awareness of type 2 diabetes and how sociodemographic factors influence diabetes knowledge in a rural population of Telangana, India. Systematic random sampling was used to gather study participants in 17 villages within the Rajanna sircilla district of Telangana, India. Data on diabetes knowledge was collected using a validated questionnaire. Knowledge score range was 0–8; a score of zero was designated as ‘low knowledge’, scores 1–4 as ‘moderate knowledge’, and scores 5–8 as ‘good knowledge’. Associations between sociodemographic factors and composite diabetes knowledge score were assessed using a multinomial logistic GLLAMM model in Stata. Overall awareness of diabetes was low, with 66% of individuals having no knowledge of diabetes. Only 16% and 17% achieved a moderate and a good knowledge score, respectively. Achieving a moderate knowledge score was significantly positively associated with education, wealth and business ownership as a source of income. The low awareness of diabetes among participants of this study raises serious concerns for public health in India.
