Published: October 2024

La thromboembolie veineuse est une complication fréquente chez les patients atteints d'hémopathies malignes, due à la fois à la libération de facteurs procoagulants par les cellules tumorales et à des facteurs externes tels que les médicaments. Chez les patients atteints de myélome multiple, le risque est accru par l'utilisation d'immunomodulateurs, en particulier lorsqu'ils sont associés à une polychimiothérapie, pendant la phase d'induction. Prévention de la thromboembolie veineuse chez les patients atteints de myélome est fortement recommandée, mais il n'existe pas encore de directives spécifiques. L'approche la plus courante consiste à stratifier le risque thrombotique en fonction des facteurs de risque individuels, liés au myélome et à la thérapie, et à utiliser de l'aspirine pour tous les patients, à l'exception de ceux qui présentent deux facteurs de risque thrombotique ou plus et qui doivent être traités avec un anticoagulant oral ou parentéral traditionnel. Une approche plus controversée préconise l'utilisation d'un anticoagulant ou de l'aspirine pour la prophylaxie, sans tenir compte de la stratification du risque. Indépendamment de la stratification du risque. Des essais récents étudient la prophylaxie chez les patients atteints de myélome avec des anticoagulants oraux directs, sur la base d'études montrant l'efficacité et la sécurité de cette nouvelle classe de médicaments dans le traitement et la prophylaxie de la thrombose chez les patients atteints de toute tumeur maligne. Les résultats de ces essais sont encourageants, mais ils doivent être confirmés par des études de plus grande envergure. Un consensus international sur la meilleure prophylaxie pour prévenir la thromboembolie veineuse chez les patients atteints de myélome multiple en cours de traitement n'a pas encore été établi. Par conséquent, la thrombose dans le myélome multiple reste une question d'actualité.
Integrated Digital Sphygmomanometer for Simultaneous Blood Pressure and Body Temperature Monitoring
Authors: Nisa Aulia Farahun , Sumber Sumber , Pudji Andjar
Published: October 2024

Hypertension is a condition when the blood pressure against the artery walls is too high. High blood pressure can occur because of the patient's temperature, because the higher the patient's body temperature the higher the blood pressure. Therefore, body temperature must be detected before measuring blood pressure in patients. These Digital Tension and Body Temperature parameters are usually still used separately. Because of that, we had the idea to make these two parameters into one unit to facilitate health monitoring. The design of this tool uses the MPX5050GP sensor as a blood pressure detector, the MLX90614 sensor as a body temperature detector and the two sensors are connected directly to the Arduino UNO microcontroller to be processed and later displayed on the Nextion LCD later. The measurement results with the MPX5050GP and MLX9061 showed that the largest systolic error was 2.23% and the smallest was 0.53%. The biggest diastole error was 4.69% and the smallest was 1.79%. The biggest body temperature error is 1.65% and the smallest is 0.45%.

Groundnut is one of the important oil seed crops cultivated in India. India ranks first in groundnut area under cultivation and is the second largest producer in the world with 101 lakh tones with productivity of 1863 kg per hectare in 2021-22. Groundnut cultivation in India is done by small-scale farmersand is the predominant dryland crop. In the beginning, thepeanuts were separated from their shells by the workers and theoutput from this method was much less and could not satisfy themarket demand as it was a very time-consuming process. It is atime-consuming and tedious operation. Hence, a portablegroundnut decorticating machine is designed and fabricatedwhich is small in size, easy to carry anywhere, and very easy tooperate (at any time). This is more useful for domestic purposessuch as households, hotels, and restaurants. This paper describesabout the design and fabrication of various components of a hand-operated groundnut decorticator. Small farmers or businessmencan start businesses by investing less capital. The output is about40-42 kg/hour, shelling time taken 1.5 min/kg, and with a highcost-benefit ratio of 1:28.6. The machine is also lightweight andeasy to operate and maintain, the spare parts are also availablelocally. Maintenance is very easy, purchase cost is low, and highlyeconomical in use. No electric power or diesel or skill knowledge is required. The shelling operation can be done by women at any time by accommodating in the house itself. Small and marginalfarmers can use regular shelling for the sowing of groundnut. This is a convenient equipment and can be used at any time(during day time or night time) based on their convenience. Not much labor is required and one person can manage the decortication process it is cost effective also.

In the realm of compiler optimization, just-in-time (JIT) compilation dynamically adjusts code execution based on runtime profiling, contrasting with the static approach of ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation. While JIT benefits from real-time profiling data, AOT lacks this advantage, necessitating innovative strategies to enhance performance without runtime feedback. This review article explores the integration of partially context-sensitive profiles into AOT compilation, offering insights into optimizing statically compiled programs through advanced profiling techniques. Also, it explores the utilization of partially context-sensitive profiles in ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation to enhance program performance. It delves into the challenges of AOT optimization without runtime profiling, contrasting it with the dynamic optimization capabilities of just-in-time (JIT) compilation. The proposed algorithm strategically leverages partial profiles to identify and optimize hot code segments, presenting a promising avenue for improving AOT compilation efficiency. Through empirical evaluation of diverse benchmarks, the article validates the technique's effectiveness, underscoring its significance in advancing compiler optimization strategies for statically compiled programs.
Enhanced Ant Colony Based VM Selection and Consolidation for Energy Conservation
Authors:   Department of CSE, DBIT, Bangalore (Karnataka), India., Kirana S P Usha
Published: October 2024

Cloud Computing (CC) involves extensive data centers with numerous computing nodes that consume significant electrical energy. Researchers have identified high service-level agreement (SLA) violations and excessive energy consumption (EC) as major challenges in CC. Traditional approaches often focus on reducing EC but tend to overlook SLA violations, particularly when selecting Virtual Machines (VMs) from overloaded hosts. To address these issues, this paper introduces the Enhanced Ant Colony Optimization (EACO) algorithm, aims to reduce high EC and SLA violations by utilizing a unique approach where the best-performing ant explores movement patterns and identifies distances between movements. The algorithm comprises three key steps: tracking pheromone trails, updating pheromones and selecting the cities (VMs). The effectiveness of EACO was validated through simulations using CloudSim. Compared to existing techniques, EACO demonstrated a significant reduction in EC, achieving approximately 41-44% lower energy consumption than the traditional Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm when applied to Planet Lab data. This suggests that EACO offers a more efficient and stable solution for managing EC and SLA violations in cloud environments.

‘Esperienze d’azzardo’: un approccio etnografico allo studio del gambling
Authors: Lenzi Grillini Filippo
Published: October 2024

The present ethnographic research study has combined observation of gambling practices in commercial venues hosting slot machines, with interviews involving over 100 interlocutors undergoing rehabilitation for gambling disorder. The paper delves into a phenomenon which, in Italy, on one hand, has gone through processes of normalization as a recreational consumer product as many others, and on the other hand, risks placing the burden of addiction-related problems solely on single individuals. Exploring their experiences, it has been possible to reveal the contradictions and ambiguities of a market offering increasingly engaging products, for which individuals are expected to demonstrate the ability to ‘gamble responsibly’, while restraining themselves within difficult-to-define thresholds.
Il gioco d’azzardo in una prospettiva di interesse pubblico
Authors: Rolando Sara
Published: October 2024

Combining theoretical reflections and data from the international and national literature, the paper frames the issue of gambling from a public interest perspective, attentive to social inequalities and how contextual factors and supply and demand conditions impact people's behaviour and the prevalence of problem gambling. It then analyses the representations and narratives prevalent in the social debate, particularly the justifications used by the legislature in the liberalization process, and discusses them in light of scientific evidence, highlighting their limitations and arguing for the need to reframe the issue of gambling as an outcome of political rather than individual choices and responsibilities.
Il gioco – d’azzardo – dei poveri. Quando a rimetterci sono i più fragili
Authors: Berti Fabio
Published: October 2024

With the liberalization of gambling, since the beginning of the new millennium, not only Italy has become a sort of open-air casino, but we have also witnessed an explosion in gambling and the number of players; almost at the same time we have also witnessed a dramatic increase of poverty. The essay highlights the correlations between gambling and processes of impoverishment, pointing out how and why the regressive features of taxation on gambling produce more incisive negative consequences on the most fragile and vulnerable social classes and an inevitable increase in inequalities.
Il gioco delle mafie. Regolazione, mercati e criminalità nell’azzardo
Authors: Esposito Federico , Picarella Lorenzo , Sciarrone Rocco
Published: October 2024

This paper investigates the relationship between Italian mafias and gambling in the light of the sector’s rapid growth over the last thirty years. In the Nineties, the Italian government decided to legalize and then liberalize gambling. This decision has been justified on the ground of both economic and public order reasons. At the time, Italy was facing economic crisis and the gambling sector could generate an important financial income for the state through taxation. Moreover, the government claimed that legalizing gambling would have counter the long-standing influence of organized crime in the sector. From this perspective, legal gambling is seen as the only way to curb illegal gambling. However, this view is largely contradicted by the empirical evidence, which shows that the mafias have gradually migrated from illegal gambling to legal, government-controlled gambling. By reviewing a number of judicial sources, the paper investigates the presence of mafia-type groups in the legal gambling sector, focusing on slot machines’ and online gambling’s supply-chain which have been found to be the most infiltrated ones. We conclude that the problem of criminal influence should be approached not as a question of legal versus illegal gambling, but by addressing the regulatory model currently implemented in Italy.

Leishmaniasis treatment has faced challenges with pentavalent antimonials, historically used but now showing resistance and high failure rates. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended higher doses, but resistance in Nepal and misuse persist. Antimonials are no longer the preferred treatment for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the Indian subcontinent but are still used for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). Amphotericin B, especially liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB), has become the preferred treatment for VL in the Indian subcontinent, with high efficacy and shorter treatment courses. Genetic insights into leishmaniasis reveal that parasite species and host immune responses are key factors in disease variation. Genetic analysis of atypical parasite isolates shows that genetic variations can lead to different disease patterns. Whole genome sequencing and proteomic analyses offer fresh insights into how parasite genes and proteins impact drug resistance, post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL), and unusual disease presentations. Variations in hereditary unit copy numbers and single nucleotide polymorphisms contribute to genetic diversity and distinct tissue distribution, leading to distinct disease patterns. Genomic markers for drug resistance in Leishmania parasites include ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, amino acid permease 3 (AAP3), and proteins like phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). These markers are associated with efflux of thiols and metals, antimony resistance, and protection against oxidative stress. Additionally, key proteins and enzymes in antioxidant defense mechanisms, such as iron superoxide dismutase-A (FeSOD-A), folate transporter 1 (FT1), and heat shock protein 83 (HSP83), play roles in drug resistance and parasite survival.

Published: October 2024

Soil stabilization by combining several minerals is a form of material engineering aimed at increasing the bearing capacity of the soil to a higher level. The development of waste-based materials and the utilization of local potential are part of environmentally conscious construction. This study aims to analyses the mechanical behaviour of soil stabilized with several pozzolanic materials derived from nickel processing waste and limestone, which are local materials with very large deposits. ASTM standards were used in this study for both physical and mechanical testing. Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests were conducted to compare the mechanical behaviour of stabilized soil with that of natural soil. The test samples used were cylindrical with a diameter of 35 mm and a height of 70 mm. The binding materials consisted of nickel slag, aluminium hydroxide, and limestone, with the amount of each material based on the dry soil weight (γdry). The addition of lime in this study was varied at 2%, 4%, and 6%. The test results generally show that lime variations and curing time affect the increase in unconfined compressive strength (qu), with the highest value of 30.91 kg/cm² observed at 6% lime content after 28 days of curing.

Published: October 2024

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a crucial crop with significant importance in various regions. In Riau, specifically in Kuantan Singingi Regency, it ranks as the fourth largest area for rice production, showcasing numerous local rice varieties with substantial development potential. This study aimed to generate mutants exhibiting early maturity and reduced plant height through gamma-ray induced mutations. A non-factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) was employed, with the primary factor being the irradiation dose: R0 served as the control group without radiation, while the experimental group received an irradiation dose of 300 Gy, determined to be effective in prior research. Each treatment was replicated five times, utilizing a total of 600 plants per treatment. The findings indicated that rice plants subjected to 300 Gy irradiation exhibited shorter heights compared to those in the control group. Additionally, the stem circumference of plants irradiated with 300 Gy was significantly greater than that of the non-irradiated plants. Furthermore, the number of productive tillers was higher in the 300 Gy group compared to the control. However, the harvest age for rice plants exposed to 300 Gy was extended relative to those without radiation. Conversely, the length of the flag leaf in rice plants irradiated at 300 Gy was shorter than that of the control group. There remains a considerable need for data on the desired characteristics of rice mutants to facilitate advanced breeding efforts.

Ganch (fired clay ceramics with gypsum) has long been an integral part of the interior and exterior decoration for appropriate buildings to make them stand out. First of all, these are classy palaces, Buddhist traditional harem-type buildings in Western and Central Asia and other mosques, madrasas, mausoleums and minarets in some Oriental cultures associated with Islam. In particular, in the territories of Khorasan (now a part of modern Uzbekistan, was Iran, referred to as some kingdoms sort of the Bukhara emirate). The goal is to establish the origins of oynavand-o’uma, (stucco network decorations made of alumina with coloured powders and shiny pearl or mirror elements), which are genetically related to monuments in Uzbekistan and Georgia of the 5th/7th–19th centuries. The following methods were used in this study: analysis, generalisation and systematisation. The study highlighted that in the pre-Arabic period of the Iranian-speaking tribes of the Eftalites and Bukharhudates, who were simultaneously influenced by Buddhist and Greco-Byzantine cultures, the phenomenon of a local plastic canon was formed, which laid the foundation for the development of carved alabaster and plaster, which further developed without a figurative component during the Muslim era and spread to Asian lands until the time of the Turkic-Persian Qajar dynasty, reaching not only Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, but also Georgia. The study also discussed the specific features of art education in the context of preserving and developing the cultural heritage of the regions. The findings of this study can be used by specialists in the field of studying the evolution of the plastic canon of monumental and decorative art of certain Eastern countries, experts in the scientific restoration and reconstruction of oriental visions of the synthesis of painting with ganch and mirrors, as well as teachers of the history of oriental culture.

Different types of altars provide examples of architectural solutions regarding correct and effective design. The differences lie in the use of different stylistic treatments, colors and chiaroscuro. The interior of the church and the central feature in the form of an altar create an environment in which the faithful devote themselves to prayer. Both stylistic and color solutions can influence the level of prayer contemplation and concentration during mass and other services. The research included selected altars from churches in Lublin, Poland. Attention was paid to which elements in the photos attract the eye and determine observation and focus. This paper dicusses a series of studies on the best-designed architectural spaces that increase concentration during meditation and prayer. Moreover, it analyzes the existing interiors of churches along with altars and formulates conclusions regarding design guidelines for newly constructed buildings.

Kyiv Velodrome is the oldest sports facility in Ukraine and one of the oldest in Europe. In 2016-2017, the restoration of its track, administrative building, construction of an underground parking lot and reorganization of the adjacent territory were carried out. As part of the scientific and technical support, an examination of the velodrome track was carried out to determine all existing defects and damages and as a result, recommendations for their elimination were provided. In particular, solutions have been developed to repair cracks and recommended measures are aimed at preventing their appearance in the future. Also, within the scope of research work, some experimental studies were carried out with the designed constructions of the bicycle track for their compliance with the technical documentation and to establish durability (in laboratory conditions). The article analyzes and researches the structural and technological solutions proposed in the project documentation for the restoration and arrangement of the bicycle track, providing solutions and recommendations that will ensure the necessary quality and the project's design life. Thus, recommendations are being considered to reduce the likelihood of the appearance of new cracks and the development of existing ones on the track.

Schools In Algeria, built in the XIXth and XXth centuries, are not only places of education and learning, but make up a rich cultural heritage of architectural techniques and traditional know-how. However, their seismic vulnerability risks the safety of their occupants. They were built of masonry before seismic regulations were put into place, which increases their sensitivity to seismic hazard. Algeria is situated in a well-known zone of high seismic activity and the risk to these buildings challenges their structural behaviour. This study focuses on an assessment of seismic vulnerability on a specimen built entirely in hollow brick which wonderfully represents this architectural heritage leading to a better understanding of the potential risks for these buildings, at a structural level. Macro element models, using the Tremuri software, are subjected to a non-linear “Pushover” analysis in order to determine the degree of vulnerability and locate the weak sections of the structure which could collapse during seismic action. This study aims to highlight the seismic risks of these types of structures and also offer appropriate guidelines and recommendations that could be of use during a possible rehabilitation or conservation program of this built heritage site.

The anadromous sturgeon species in the lower Danube are currently critically endangered and based on the studies of the INCDPM expert team and the 2022 report of IUCN-SSG (Sturgeon Specialist Group) it appears that the future prospects of these populations are unfavourable. This situation occurs mainly as a result of anthropogenic impacts, especially due to intensive fishing, poaching and hydrotechnical constructions (e.g.: dams, immersed obstacles such as the bottom sill on Bala Branch). The dams interrupted the historical spawning migration routes of these species and the bottom sill can interrupt them in the future. In this context, INCDPM has elaborated an innovative by pass solution for the Iron Gates I, based on the longterm monitoring of ultrasonically tagged sturgeons from the Black Sea to the Iron Gates. This article presents the methodology developed by INCDPM in order to ensure the implementation of the innovative by-pass solution with minimal risk of unseccesful restoration of the historical migration routes. The study aims to present the specific migration conditions and the actual routes, which have been determined by over a decade of in-situ monitoring of ultrasonically tagged specimens. Additionally, simulations of upstream migration will be conducted and GIS maps will be developed to present historical migratory routes, with consideration given to hydrodynamic conditions and climate change scenarios.
