Authors: Soni Pooja , Siddharth Siddharth , G Sharma K
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Acute pancreatitis is a serious condition with unpredictable outcomes. Scoring systems and biochemical markers such as IL-6 and
CRP can aid in predicting the severity and clinical outcomes of pancreatitis. Objective: This study aims to assess the accuracy of early
measurement of inammatory markers like IL-6 and CRP, in predicting severity in patients with suspected acute pancreatitis and correlate the
severity with clinical outcomes. Method: The study is a hospital-based observational study collecting data on IL6 and CRP from patients
diagnosed with acute pancreatitis based on the Atlanta guidelines. Results: The study included 48 patients and found that IL6 and CRP levels
increased in proportion to the severity of AP, and had a strong correlation with severity calculated according to Revised Atlanta guidelines and
modied CT severity index, with p-values <0.05. IL6 had a higher sensitivity of 95.45% vs 68.18 % in CRP, which suggests that both markers may
be useful in predicting the severity of AP in its early stages. Conclusion: IL-6 and CRP can accurately predict the course of acute pancreatitis and
aid in the early recognition of severe cases, enabling timely intervention

Aim: Serological biomarkers used for the diagnosis for Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can also be seen in other conditions. This study aims to assess the diagnostic roles of anti- cyclic citrullinated peptides (CCP) and antinuclear antibodies(ANA) in clinically suspected RA patients with positive rheumatoid factor. Results: 100 patients having circulating rheumatoid factor irrespective of age and gender were enlisted in the study. Anti- CCP level and ANA status were determined in each patient. 56% had high level of rheumatoid factor (RF) (>3 times the upper limit of normal). AntiCCP and ANA were observed in 14% and 36% respectively. Positivity for all the three biomarkers was seen in 16.67%. Conclusion: Our results outlined the importance of performing anti- CCP and ANAalong with RF in suspected Rheumatoid arthritis that will help in the exclusion of other autoimmune diseases and treatment modalities.

Authors: Gupta Priyamvada , Devgan Sonali , K. Bharadwaj Avnish
Published: August 2023

Delirium is very common in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) and leads to increased morbidity. It has multi-factorial aetiology and sleep deprivation as well as sleep quality play important role. The anti-psychotic drug olanzapine is established for treatment but has limitation of prolongation of Qtc interval. Melatonin, a sleep modulating compound, is devoid of major side effects in therapeutic doses and has been used in prevention of delirium. This study was aimed at comparing the effectiveness of melatonin vs olanzapine in treating delirium in critically ill patients. Methods: This prospective randomized double blind comparative study was conducted after approval from institutional ethical committee and registration with CTRI (CTRI/2021/05/033908). All ICU patients were assessed daily for the development of delirium, using CAM-ICU (Confusion Assessment Method) score. Those diagnosed with delirium and fullling inclusion criteria, were randomly allocated in three groups of 50 each, by computer generated tables. Group M: receiving melatonin 9mg; Group O: receiving olanzapine5mg; Group C: receiving haloperidol 2.5mg, as daily oral doses. The participants were tested daily using revised delirium rating scale (DRS-R-98) scores and the duration and severity of delirium was noted. The side effects were also noted. The data was analysed using independent t test, p value <0.05 was considered statistically signicant. Results: There was no signicant difference between the olanzapine and melatonin group in terms of DRS -R98 score from baseline to all the 5 consecutive days. Conclusion: Melatonin is as effective as olanzapine in the treatment of delirium

Haemostatic and antibacterial effects of oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) are well-known as the product is in market for the last 15 years. ORC
was being studied separately for different clinical indication in view of its safety and performance. However, there is not meta-analysis performed
on the clinical data, records, clinical applications etc. Hence a PRISMA based Meta-analysis was performed on the available clinical data collected
from all available data bases (PubMed, Medline, Google scholar, Cochrane library, general internet search etc.). Six different search words were
used to collect the data with a pertinent inclusion and exclusion criteria. Over all there were 345 publications available on ORC and only 28 were
relevant and included. The total records in 28 clinical reports were 5741. It was very evidently observed the ORC was most commonly used in
Laparoscopic surgery, cholecystectomy, liver resection and nephrectomy However the clinical reports have not provided any statistical data. The
Clinical application of ORC in Cancer surgery (Prostate biopsy, Breast cancer) were well studied and statistically analysed for its safety and
performance. The use of ORC in Cardiac, Spinal / neuronal were very limited. There were no studies or records available on the antibacterial
activity of ORC. From the Metal Analysis of ORC, we report that its clinical applications are more evident in Laparoscopic surgeries without much
controlled trials but however available in Cancer surgery. ORC use is very limited to case studies in Cardiac and Neuro Surgeries. There are no
clinical reports on the anti-bacterial activity of ORC

Introduction: COVID-19 affected millions of people worldwide, causing unprecedented health systems disruptions and severely affected
individuals' social, economic and psychological lives. Hence, it is essential to appreciate the inuence of age structure while reporting mortality for
a better summary of the magnitude of epidemic. This study aimed to investigate clinico-epidemiological prole of COVID-19 patients admitted in
Jorhat Medical College and Hospital (JMCH), Jorhat, Assam. Materials and Methods: This was a hospital based cross-sectional study which
includes positive COVID-19 admitted patients from May 2020 to December 2021. We investigated epidemiological and clinical prole of each
patient from the submitted medical records. Statistical analysis was done using Microsoft excel and Mann-Whitney U test. Results:Atotal of 8072
positive cases were included in this study and majority of cases were between 45-59 years with slight male preponderance. During this period, 7343
(91%) patients were completely cured of COVID-19 symptoms hence discharged and 729 (9.0%) patients died during the treatment. The
maximum number of fatality was observed at 551 (75.58%) patients. Among the admitted patients, 5062 (62.71%) had no signicant comorbidity
symptoms, compared to 3010 (37.29%) who had experienced multiple comorbidity symptoms. Conclusion: The outcomes of our study highlight
that the death risk from COVID-19 is high among elder age group with multiple comorbidities. Therefore, aged individuals with comorbidities
should receive extensive medical treatment with preventative measures. This study could aids in future research for making decisions on
preventing infection in high risk populations, controlling existing comorbid conditions, and prioritising vaccination.

Authors: Ferrara Rossana M. , Campi Pasquale , De Carolis Gabriele , Gaeta Liliana , Piarulli Mariagrazia , Ruggieri Sergio , Rana Gianfranco
Published: August 2023

The climate change requires thrifty use of water resources in agriculture since irrigation is became common also for those crops like olive orchard that were traditionally grown in rainfed conditions. The water requirement is imperative in semi-arid conditions of the Mediterranean basin especially if the olive orchards are cultivated in super high density. For a correct irrigation scheduling, methods to measure transpiration (Tr) at plant level are used. Among the most spread methods to determine Tr, the thermal dissipation method (TDM) has been applied on a hedgerow olive orchard considering: (i) species-specific local calibration, (ii) wound effects, (iii) azimuth correction, and (iv) radial gradient corrections. The performances of the corrected TDM method have been evaluated with respect an independent method, the water balance at weekly scale. If any correction nor specific calibration is carried out, the underestimation of the actual transpiration calculated by TDM was of about -18% with respect to the water balance method.

Published: August 2023

Education is a basic need to every citizen. However, dropout has been at the top barring all countries the world over in ensuring a hundred percent literacy rates. The Kenyan government has since independence come up with various policies in a bid to increase access and retention rate: Free primary Education (2003), Free Day Secondary Education (2008) and a 100% transition rate policy (2018) from primary school to secondary. This study sought to investigate Household – related factors leading to Students’ Dropout from Mixed-Day Secondary Schools in Bomet East Sub-County, Kenya for the period between the year 2020 and 2023. This study tried to determine the reasons as to why students drop out of school and suggested recommendations on what can be done about it. The study was based on The Classical Theory of Equal Opportunities and Social Darwinism that is predicated on a philosophy that everyone has fair and equal access to a good quality education regardless of social background, race, gender, or religion, and where people achieve success in education according to their efforts and ability, free from any form of discrimination. Descriptive Research Design was used. Questionnaires and interview schedules were used to collect data from the sampled respondents in sampled Mixed Day Secondary schools. Piloting was carried out. Percentages and Frequencies were used to analyze the data with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). It was found out that the following household-related factors lead to student’s dropout; female genital mutilation, early marriages, child labour and cultural beliefs. The study suggests five recommendations to curb school dropouts. The findings are hoped to add new knowledge and benefit the teachers, school principals and other school stakeholders to put necessary measures in place to curb the dropout problem.

Introduction: Renal scintigraphy with captopril test of the kidney is a simple, non-invasive functional imaging technique that can be used to demonstrate the role of stenosis in the development of renovascular hypertension (RVH). It also makes it possible to distinguish renal artery stenosis responsible for RVH from stenosis associated with primary arterial hypertension. Objective: To illustrate the benefits of renal scintigraphy with captopril test in the diagnosis of RVH. Material and method: This was a prospective and descriptive study over a period of 12 months, from 1 March 2016 to 4 March 2017, carried out in the nuclear medicine department of the Institut des Radio Isotopes (IRI) in Niamey. The parameters studied were age, frequency, creatinemia, tracer used, relative perfusion, relative renal function and maximum uptake time. Results: We collected 6 cases presenting with either hypertension refractory to well-administered two- or three- therapy, or severe hypertension at the complication stage, or hypertension associated with hypokalaemia or unexplained renal failure or reversible renal failure induced by a conversion enzyme inhibitor. The mean age was 35 years. The age of diagnosis of hypertension ranged from 20 to 28 years. Four patients underwent echodoppler of the renal arteries: unilateral stenosis in patients A, C and F, and bilateral stenosis in patient D. The captopril test was positive in 3 cases, patients A, B and C. Conclusion: Dynamic renal scintigraphy with captopril testing is a non-invasive, low-radiation diagnostic method for the investigation of renovascular hypertension. It has a triple benefit, including the detection of the most severe arterial stenoses, the prediction of the curability of the stenosis by a revascularisation procedure and, finally, post-treatment follow-up.

But You Don’t Get Used to Anything
Authors: Achtenberg Deborah
Published: August 2023

This chapter argues against the view that Derrida’s emphasis on change makes him complicit in the neoliberal requirement of flexibility that results both in precarity and in the dominance of English. To the contrary, the essay argues that Derrida’s idea of différance includes the view that openness both involves loss and is always partial (since incision involves excision), that the singular is precious, and that deconstruction is justice since it is alert to what is excluded even by efforts at inclusiveness. Examples of the preciousness and loss of the singular are circumcision (where incision is excision), hospitality (in which unconditional hospitality has material limitations and conditions), subjectivity (which is never based on full presence), language (which both is my own and comes from an other), and neighbourhoods (since they continue only by incorporating new people). Deconstruction, the essay concludes, need not be complicit in neoliberal dominance but, properly understood, makes us aware of the power dynamics by which the openness of plurilingualism can lead to the dominance of English.
‘I know you can cant’
Authors: Champlin Jeffrey
Published: August 2023

This article reads Fred Moten’s collection B Jenkins as literalizing the poetic appeal to the mother tongue to reveal its mediated essence. Approaching its first and last poems in terms of Friedrich Kittler’s techno-psychological history of the family casts Moten’s detuning of natural language in terms of cultural mastery streaked with affirmative disfluency. With the ‘cant’, slang slides towards a broader awareness of the limits of knowledge. There, language may emerge for perceiving the role of the technological mother tongue in our post-national age.
The Mother Tongue of Love and Loss
Authors: Sauter Caroline
Published: August 2023

This article reads Albert Cohen’s Le Livre de ma mère, which mourns the death of his mother, as a poetics of love and loss. It is a poetics of otherness that disavows the claim to expression and selfhood. The mother, being the paradigmatic figure of otherness, is a figure for literature, a form of language that is characterized by saying things differently. Literature itself is a motherly space insofar as it others the language of the self. This argument is developed along close readings of both the French original and the English translation of Cohen’s work, following three thematic axes: first, the peculiar kinship of love and death; second, the mother as the other; third, literature as filio-logy: a logic of filiation that does not leave the self unchanged.

Published: August 2023

In this paper, we simulate a maize streak virus (MSV) epidemic model using the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative. We solve a nonlinear fractional-order model of the MSV using a recently proposed efficient numerical method. We perform several graphical simulations to explore the proposed model dynamics. The proposed investigations justify the usefulness of the recently proposed scheme in epidemiology. The Caputo-Fabrizio type fractional-order generalization of the model and implementation of the method are the key features of this study.
Host Viral Load During Triple Coinfection of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza Virus, and Syncytial Virus
Authors: Taye Mesfin Asfaw
Published: August 2023

The dynamics of the host viral load during triple coinfection between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), influenza A, and the syncytial virus is studied. To explore how the host cells, the infected cells, and the viral load behave as a function of time, numerical simulations are performed. Via numerical simulations, the differential equations are analyzed by considering initial conditions. Since the numerical simulations are performed by using the physiological parameters, the model system can genuinely help to understand the viral dynamics either in vivo or in vitro. The result obtained in this work depicts that a higher viral load is exhibited when the three viruses simultaneously infect the host cells than in a single infection case. This indicates that simultaneous infection with SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and syncytial viruses might be associated with a higher morbidity and mortality rate as these viruses by cooperating with each other facilitate a higher infection rate. Using physiological parameters, we further study the correlation between viral load, susceptible cells, and infected cells. As the three viral species cooperatively infect the host cells, the number of infected cells rises resulting in a higher viral load. Since influenza A has a higher viral reproduction rate than the two types of virus, it dictates the overall dynamics as it has a competitive advantage. Since these viruses share the same resources, the virus production of a given virus can be affected by the other. The interference of these viruses relies on the initial dose, the order of infection, and the strain of the virus. We show that when influenza A and syncytial viruses are initiated a few days after SARS-CoV-2 establishes an infection, while SARS-CoV-2 thrives, and the other two viruses fail to establish an infection. The viruses with an initially higher dose have also a survival advantage. Furthermore, the effect of lymphocytes on the overall viral dynamics is explored via numerical simulations. Since SARS-CoV-2 targets several types of cells and organs, a higher SARS-CoV-2 viral load can be also associated with a higher morbidity and mortality rate.

The influence of nanofillers percentage on a patch antenna return loss (RL) was investigated through experimental and numerical analysis. Free space measurements were carried out on six samples reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) containing 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 5 wt%. The experimental measurements were obtained using a Vector Network Analyser (VNA) and a patch antenna with a resonance frequency of 5 GHz and a fractional bandwidth of 3%. The antenna field regions were calculated and the samples were tested at the reactive, radiating near-field, and far-field. The findings indicate distinctive behaviours. At the reactive near-field region, the CNTs, as expected, seem to diminish the RL values around resonance frequencies. On the contrary, at radiating near-field and far-field, the CNTs provoke the variation of RL in the antenna bandwidth accordingly their percentage. Especially after the electrical percolation threshold (EPT). Moreover, a numerical study was performed. Using the Finite Element Method (FEM) and an idealized model of the RL behaviour values were simulated. At higher CNTs percentages (i.e., EPT), unique behaviours were found. The alteration in the key electromagnetic properties is confirmed in experimental and numerical studies.

The global economy is driving digital innovations that transform entire systems and make industries and business sectors more connected, efficient, and smarter. Companies that want to digitize and are going to build digital business models need to re-engineer existing ones, redefine their objectives as part of their strategy or create even new ones. The decision-making process in the context of strategy is of paramount importance, as the management determines the future development of the company. This study aims to highlight the importance of employee involvement in the development of a company’s digital strategy and identify aspects that are essential for developing a digital company strategy in this context. The tasks of the research are to study the theoretical aspects of strategy and its development aspects, cognitive processes that are of great importance to ensure the transition to a smart and digitally capable company, the impact of digitalization on employees and aspects of the involvement of employees in the process of strategy-creating. As a result, this paper can influence the decision-makers to rethink the processes and talents needed to digitize the company and the communication process, knowledge, and understanding that are an integral part of the new digital culture.
An Innovate Comparative Research Method to determine the convergence (/or divergence) of the Infective Virus like COVID-19 & Common Flu
Authors: Shun Lam Kai
Published: August 2023

Infectious disease has a long history with our human beings. These diseases have been well known from the common flu in Spring to the most recent one such as the COVID-19 etc. People always want to find a cure such as vaccine to them. However, as the diseases’ viruses have thousands or mil-lions of mutation in their DNA or RNA, it is therefore difficult to predict the next popular species that may be spread among people in the coming year. Mathematically, the combinatoric plus the optimi-zation techniques may be the most feasible way to solve the problem. In the present thesis, this author suggests an innovate comparative research method that includes research group (HKLam regres-sion) and the control group (other regressions) to the infected virus such as COVID-19 or common flu etc. The aforementioned method is used to determine these virus(es)’s convergence (/or) diver-gence mutations such that we may further genetic edit them to obtain several feasible vaccine candi-dates for further investigation in human beings etc. In other words, we are trying to artificially devel-oped a tailor made “cow-pox” for these infected viruses and hence may be save millions of our lives.

The GAIA space mission is impacting astronomy in many significant ways by providing a uniform, homogeneous, and precise data set for over 1 billion stars and other celestial objects in the Milky Way and beyond. Exoplanet science has greatly benefited from the unprecedented accuracy of the stellar parameters obtained from GAIA. In this study, we combine photometric, astrometric, and spectroscopic data from the most recent Gaia DR3 to examine the kinematic and chemical age proxies for a large sample of 2611 exoplanets hosting stars whose parameters have been determined uniformly. Using spectroscopic data from the Radial Velocity Spectrometer on board GAIA, we show that stars hosting massive planets are metal-rich and α-poor in comparison to stars hosting small planets. The kinematic analysis of the sample reveals that stellar systems with small planets and those with giant planets differ in key aspects of galactic space velocity and orbital parameters, which are indicative of age. We find that the galactic orbital parameters have a statistically significant difference of 0.06 kpc for Z
max and 0.03 for eccentricity, respectively. Furthermore, we estimated the stellar ages of the sample using the MIST-MESA isochrone models. The ages and their proxies for the planet-hosting stars indicate that the hosts of giant planetary systems are younger when compared to the population of stars harboring small planets. These age trends are also consistent with the chemical evolution of the galaxy and the formation of giant planets from the core-accretion process.
Analysis of SEP Events and Their Possible Precursors Based on the GSEP Catalog
Authors: Rotti Sumanth , Martens Petrus C.
Published: August 2023

Solar energetic particle (SEP) events are one of the most crucial aspects of space weather. Their prediction depends on various factors including the source solar eruptions such as flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The Geostationary Solar Energetic Particle (GSEP) events catalog was developed as an extensive data set toward this effort for solar cycles 22, 23, and 24. In the present work, we review and extend the GSEP data set by (1) adding “weak” SEP events that have proton enhancements from 0.5 to 10 pfu in the E >10 MeV channel and (2) improving the associated solar source eruptions information. We analyze and discuss spatiotemporal properties such as flare magnitudes, locations, rise times, and speeds and widths of CMEs. We check for the correlation of these parameters with peak proton fluxes and event fluences. Our study also focuses on understanding feature importance toward the optimal performance of machine-learning (ML) models for SEP event forecasting. We implement random forest, extreme gradient boosting, logistic regression, and support vector machine classifiers in a binary classification schema. Based on the evaluation of our best models, we find both the flare and CME parameters are requisites to predict the occurrence of an SEP event. This work is a foundation for our further efforts on SEP event forecasting using robust ML methods.
