Pharmacokinetic characteristics and morphometric effects of sodium-glucose contransporter-2 inhibitors in men and women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (literature review and own results)
Authors: Prybyla O.V.
Published: August 2021

Background. According to the latest international clinical guidelines, gliflozins— sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors— are indicated as oral antidiabetic drugs of second-third-line therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Due to insulin-independent stimulation of glucosuria, gliflozins have extraglycemic effects such as weight loss, improved adipose tissue distribution, better plasma lipid profile, and decreased uricemia that in generally reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of dapagliflozin in the treatment of men and women with type 2 diabetes mellitus with a metabolically unhealthy phenotype. Materials and methods. The study included 17 individuals with diabetes mellitus type 2 (11 men and 6women), aged 58.0±1.7 years (95% confidence interval 53–62), whose body composition was evaluated by bioelectric impedance using a Tanita analyzer BC-545N (Japan). Patients received therapy with dapagliflozin, antihypertensive and antihyperlipidemic drugs (statins). Results. A three-month use of dapagliflozin in a dose of 10 mg once daily caused a decrease in body mass index, waist circumference, improvement of body composition, in particular a reduction in total body fat (the significance of changes was determined using a paired t-test). No significant changes in muscle and bone mass, body composition, lipid profile, and uricemia level were observed. The group of women, in contrast to men, had a decreased level of visceral fat, which was accompanied by an improvement in the body’s water supply, and a reduction in the estimated metabolic age. Conclusions. Treatment of type 2 diabetes patients with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors for 3 months has reduced the degree of obesity and improved some indices of body composition. Confirmation of this trend can be obtained in further observations.

Authors: Nyzhnyk A.V.
Published: August 2021

У статті розглядаються питання отримання ліцензії на медичну практику лікарями-стоматологами різного профілю, що планують відкрити приватну медичну практику в будь-якій організаційно-правовій формі. Отриманню ліцензії передує певний підготовчий етап: вибір організаційно-правової форми, пошук приміщення та обладнання, пошук працівників, які відповідають єдиним освітнім та кваліфікаційним вимогам, отримання акта санітарно-епідеміологічного обстеження об’єкта та підготовка документів для подання до МОЗ України. Саме на цьому етапі майбутній ліцензіат стикається з певними складнощами, адже нормативно-правові вимоги часто є досить суперечливими та для їх опрацювання потрібно опанувати значну кількість нормативно-правових актів. Однак за умови ретельної підготовки отримання ліцензії на медичну практику є досить нескладним процесом, якщо здобувач ліцензії візьме до уваги всі вимоги чинного законодавства на підготовчому етапі.

Authors: Bustamam Nurfitri , Purwaningastuti Diana Agustini
Published: August 2021

Background: In the Academic Year 2017/2018 the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jakarta (FMUPNVJ) began using anatomage and plastination as learning tools. This study aims to describe the learning process, compare learning outcomes of students after using anatomage and plastination with the learning outcomes of students in the previous academic year, and describe students’ perceptions regarding the learning tools used.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on the population of second-semester FMUPNVJ students who had taken dermatomusculoskeletal (DMS) block in the academic year 2017/2018. Data were taken from the total population (n = 163). A questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale and open-ended questions were used to obtain student perceptions related to the learning process and the learning tools used. Semester grade point average (GPA) before taking the DMS block and results of anatomy practical exam of the subjects (n = 163) and students of the previous academic year (n = 157) were analyzed.Results: The students appreciate learning using anatomage and plastination. The Mann-Whitney test result showed that there was no difference in semester GPA before taking DMS block between the two groups (p = 0.090). However, the learning outcomes after using anatomage and plastination were lower than those using only cadaver and mannequin (p = 0.002). Each learning tool has some advantages and disadvantages. Conclusion: The usage of anatomage and plastination at Anatomy Laboratory FMUPNVJ has not been able to improve learning outcomes. Anatomage features need to be used optimally to enhance the learning outcomes.

Authors: Arfiyanti Mega Pandu , Rahayu Gandes Retno , Sholikhah Eti Nurwening
Published: August 2021

Background: Rational prescribing is an important skill for medical doctors. Many graduates still feel insufficiently prepared to make rational prescribing and fail to demonstrate the related clinical reasoning after graduation. For these reasons, it is important to improve the medical student teaching of rational prescribing. The aim of this study is proving the effectiveness of experiential learning methods to improve rational prescribing skills of medical students.Methods: This study used a one-group pretest-posttest design. Rational prescribing courses use experiential learning methods for 6 year medical students. Every student provided evaluation of rational prescribing and clinical reasoning through pretest and posttest, and we analyzed the results by paired t test.Results: The change in the rational prescribing skill of the students is significant between pretest and posttest. However, in the hypertension case the scores are not significant between pretest and posttest. Also, the scores of clinical reasoning based on drug interaction and evidence based methods are not significant in the hypertension and otitis media cases.Conclusions: Experiential learning methods can enhance rational prescribing skill in medical students but the students were still not able to choose appropriate medications based on drug interaction and evidence based approach.

Published: August 2021

Background: The healthcare system consists of collaborations from multiple related professions to provide superior services for patients. The ability to cooperate in an interprofessional environment should be introduced at an early stage for healthcare students in the workplace amongst various disciplines. Interprofessional education (IPE), is an innovation where a group of students from several health professions conduct learning together, to create effective collaboration in order to improve the quality of health services. One of the active learning methods that can be used is Team-Based Learning (TBL). This study aims to elaborate students' perception of IPE learning using TBL as the active learning method.Method: The mixed – method is applied in this research. 162 students from four applied undergraduate study programs at the Tanjungkarang Health Polytechnic are sampled. 26 groups consisting of 6 - 7 students from various study programs are divided from the sample. Data was collected using sli.do at the end of TBL session.Results: Student perceptions included: entertaining learning processes, higher knowledge absorptions, improved interprofessional teamwork and communication and better critical thinking skills. Refining teacher competency, increasing profession diversity in the discussions, increasing session duration and higher topic complexity are important factors to ameliorate further IPE learning using TBL. 81% of students had a positive (excellent and good) response in regards to IPE learning using the TBL.Conclusion: Students possess a positive perception and increased benefits for IPE learning using TBL. TBL may be one of the prospective methods to convey IPE concepts.

The Moral Obligation to Perform Contracts: Some Preliminary Thoughts
Authors: Bix Brian H.
Published: August 2021

¿Tiene uno la obligación de cumplir sus contratos? Para muchas perso-nas, la tendencia inicial sería contestar que “sí”, debido a la fuerte relación entre contra-tos y promesas, aunada con la convicción de que, en igualdad de condiciones, uno debe cumplir sus promesas. Sin embargo, un análisis más detenido de la pregunta sobre la obligación moral de cumplir los contratos, plantea complicaciones y dudas. En primer lugar, muchos han cuestionado la relación entre el contrato y las promesas, argumentan-do que los contratos y el derecho contractual se entienden mejor de alguna otra manera. En segundo lugar, muchos suelen pensar que nuestro deber de cumplir con nuestros acuerdos varía en función de la medida en que la decisión de celebrar el acuerdo se haya desviado del consentimiento óptimo, o de los hechos sobre la equidad de la relación de fondo y la sociedad en general. Parece ser que la obligación de cumplir un contrato varía según las circunstancias. La in-justicia en la sociedad, en la relación subyacente, en la negociación del acuerdo, o en las condiciones del mismo iría en contra de dicha obligación moral. También queda la pre-gunta de cuál sería el contenido de la obligación de cumplir el contrato, si es que existe. La mayoría de nosotros supondría que es una presunta obligación real por llevar a cabo, pero algunos sostendrían que se trata simplemente de una obligación de cumplir o pagar daños y perjuicios. Aunque el pago puntual de los daños y perjuicios —sin impugnar el incumplimiento, reclamar una cantidad menor de daños o amenazar con una litigación prolongada y costosa— ya sería un avance importante en las actuales prácticas comercia-les habituales.
Derecho, sistema y realidad: ¿el positivismo se hace agua en nuestras manos?
Authors: Botero-Bernal Andrés
Published: August 2021

El presente escrito buscará explicar las ideas más relevantes y las más controversiales de la tesis doctoral de Ricardo Guibourg, denominada “Derecho, sistema y realidad” (1986). Igualmente, siempre de cara a lo anterior, se expondrán dos aportes adicionales: la importancia de dicho texto en el conjunto del pensamiento iusfilosófico de Guibourg y el contexto de producción intelectual de la iusfilosofía argentina durante el último cuarto del siglo XX. Se considera que de la debida comprensión de estos tres aspectos (las ideas de la obra, el pensamiento iusfilosófico del autor y su contexto intelectual) surgirá una adecuada y per-tinente lectura (más allá del texto mismo) de la tesis “Derecho, sistema y realidad”. Esto, porque se cree que una lectura respetuosa, a la vez que crítica, del texto y de su contexto, es fundamental para comprender la crisis ineludible del positivismo vislumbrada, entre otros, por Ricardo Guibourg.
Precedente, analogía y razones para actuar. Comentarios sobre la propuesta de Frederick Schauer
Authors: Rojas Marroquín Abdón Mauricio
Published: August 2021

Para buena parte de la literatura jurídica —con la que estoy particu-larmente de acuerdo—, el uso y seguimiento de sentencias en casos futuros es priorita-riamente un asunto de analogías. Sin embargo, el reconocido profesor Frederick Schauer, en varios de sus textos, ha puesto con buenos argumentos en tela de juicio esta idea. De acuerdo con su interpretación, seguir el precedente es algo sustancialmente distinto al razonamiento analógico. En este artículo se intenta problematizar esta tesis a partir de cuatro diferencias analíticas que considero fundamentales: principios-reglas; intención comunicativa-recurso lingüístico; razones internas-externas, y razones excluyentes-concluyentes. Al interior de cada una de ellas, la tesis de la separación propuesta por Schauer, parecería fracasar.
La justicia o la injusticia del contrato de trabajo desde el pensamiento moral de Arthur Schopenhauer
Authors: Orozco Pereira Edward Duván
Published: August 2021

Este texto es fruto de una investigación adelantada como trabajo de grado para optar por el título de magíster en filosofía. El objetivo principal de esta inves-tigación es determinar las condiciones bajo las cuales un contrato de trabajo sería justo o injusto desde el pensamiento moral del filósofo alemán Arthur Schopenhauer, específica-mente en la obra El mundo como voluntad y representación I. El cuerpo del texto se divide en tres partes. En el primer capítulo, los conceptos de injusti-cia-justicia, propiedad y trabajo son analizados en detalle. En el segundo, el concepto de contrato y su aplicación se explican detalladamente en relación con otros conceptos como fidelidad y honradez. Además, se exponen el Estado y el derecho positivo como fundamen-tados en un contrato, el contrato social. En el tercer y último capítulo se desarrolla el ob-jetivo principal de esta investigación y, por ende, se da respuesta a la pregunta planteada. Para esto, se ahonda un poco más en los conceptos de propiedad y contrato, así como en la mentira y su importancia, a la vez que se recurre a fuentes especializadas que permiti-rán obtener información de otras obras de Schopenhauer distintas a su obra magna, El mundo como voluntad y representación.

Authors: Inamdar Dhanashree P. , Anuradha B. , Inamdar Padmanabh , Patti Poojitha Sai
Published: August 2021

Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is the saline wash of the bronchial tree, which aids in diagnosing various pulmonary pathologies. The present study was contemplated with an aim to know the clinical, microbiological profile of BAL samples along with its sensitivity pattern and to assess its utility as a diagnostic tool. This was a prospective observational study, carried over 90 patients presenting with lower respiratory tract infections. The total microbial recovery rate from BAL was 39 (43.3%). The sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of BAL were found to be 76.4%, 89.7% and 90.6% respectively. Maximum isolates were bacteria (25.5%) followed by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) (16.6%) and fungi (1.1%). Predominant bacterial isolates were Gram-negative (81.5%) compared to Gram-positive (18.5%). Multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria was seen in 59.2% of isolates. BAL is a valuable diagnostic tool to find not only bacterial but mycobacterial and fungal infections in patients with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). A trend towards LRTI with Gram-negative infections is on the rise and they tend to be multidrug-resistant. Hence checking susceptibility patterns is crucial to start evidence-based treatment.

The current investigation was conducted to maximise the production of the natural anticancer drug from the microbe isolated from the marine soil sample of the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal region of India. Yellow to red colour pigmented microbes separated by crowd plate method. Bacteria are producing strong colour product subjected to future study. The isolated strains were detected based on biochemical, morphological, and genetic characteristics. Pigment formation was found to be influenced strongly by conditions of the environment. The water-insoluble pigment extracted by acidified methanol and showed maximum absorbance at 535nm. A statistical screening procedure was adopted to select the optimum condition to produce the pigment. The carbon, nitrogen, medium pH, growth condition temperature and revolution of agitation were screened using the response surface methodology statistical model. The near optimum conditions for the production medium were affected by the concentration of peanut, L-proline, percentage inoculum pH and incubation time. When these conditions were employed yield increased as two-fold as the concentration of prodigiosin 789 mg/l.

Published: August 2021

As one of the most common bacterial infections globally, urinary tract infections (UTI)s affect the bladder and kidneys of many the bladders and kidneys of many. Along with gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli (E. coli) causes nearly 40% of nosocomial UTIs, 25% of recurrent infections, and between 80 to 90% of community-acquired infections. Proteomics, commonly used to study changes in protein expression of organisms, can be used to explore candidate biomarkers useful for the diagnosis of pathological conditions. Here, protein profiles of samples from patients diagnosed with E. coli-induced UTI were compared to identify distinctive proteins. Extracted proteins from bacteria from patients’ urine samples were separated into excisable spots using 2D-gel electrophoresis. The gels were then analyzed using Progenesis SameSpot software to select uniquely expressed protein spots, excised, and analyzed by LC/MS. The results were then compared against a database of known proteins. We identified two proteins, outer membrane protein A (OmpA) and RNA polymerase-binding transcription factor (DksA), involved in the survival of E. coli in the harsh environment of the host. We suggest their use as a part of a battery of possible biomarkers proteins for E. coli-induced UTI, and suggest that their overexpression is possibly associated with the stage of infection, early or late.

IoT Based Auto-alert and follow-up of covid-19 cases in an Educational campus
Authors: Mallireddy Lohitha
Published: August 2021

Since the corona outbreak, it has become very difficult to identify those who are affected by the virus or not. It can impact a lot of students if proper preventions not taken. To solve this issue, temperature devices are often used to measure body temperature. These devices have non-contact IR temperature sensors which can measure the body temperature without any physical contact and will update the security department. If the temperature of the person exceeds the threshold temperature and entry will be restricted in the campus by a barricade prototype followed up by facial recognition. Using temperature sensor (MLX90614) temperature of the person is recorded. If the temperature doesn’t exceed the threshold temperature the person can enter the campus. If the temperature of the person exceeds the threshold temperature an alert will be triggered and the sensor will capture the image of the person and match with the database of campus and the information is sent to security department and information regarding temperature violation. The information will be consisting of picture taken during checking of temperature, name, USN, department. We propose a low-cost internet of things (IoT)-enabled COVID-19 standard operating procedure (SOP) compliance system that counts the number of people entering and leaving vicinity, ensures physical distancing, monitors body temperature and warns attendees and managers of violations. The system comprises of multiple sensor nodes communicating with a centralized server. The data stored on the server can be used for compliance auditing, real-time monitoring, and planning purposes. The system does not record the personal information of students nor provide contact tracing information.

Given a sequence of images i.e. video, the task given a sequence of images i.e. video, the task of action recognition is to identify the most same action among the action sequences learned by the system. Such human action recognition is based on evidence gathered from videos. It has a lot of applications including surveillance, video indexing, biometrics, telehealth, and human-computer interaction. Vision-based human activity recognition is plagued by numerous challenges thanks to reading changes, occlusion, variation in execution rate, camera motion, and background clutter. In this survey, we provide an overview and report of the existing methods based on their ability to handle these challenges as well as how these methods can be generalized and their ability to detect abnormal actions. Such systematic classification can facilitate researchers to spot the acceptable ways on the market to deal with every one of the challenges visaged and their limitations. In addition to this, we also identify the public datasets and the challenges posed by them. From this survey, we have a tendency to draw conclusions relating to however well a challenge has been resolved, and that we determine potential analysis areas that need more work.
Preparation of Polypropylene/silver nanoparticles Nanocomposite films and Evaluation of its Barrier and Antimicrobial Properties for Packaging Applications
Authors: Sahoo Rajesh Kumar
Published: August 2021

Polymeric films which can be used in packaging industries were prepared by blown film method with polypropylene chips and silver nanoparticles. The nanocomposite films were characterized concerning its potential use. Oxygen Transmission rate (OTR) measurements was done in order to ascertain permeability of oxygen through the polymeric films. It was found that the permeability of oxygen through nanocomposite film is higher than that of virgin polypropylene film due to incompatibility between polypropylene matrix and silver nanoparticles. The water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) test of the polymeric nanocomposite films was calculated in order to know the information about mass transfer mechanisms and solute-polymer interactions in the food packaging film. It has been found that, there is a significant decreased water vapour transmission rate through nanocomposite films compared to that of virgin polypropylene film. With increasing the concentration of silver nanoparticles, this effect was reduced. The explanation for this could be that with higher concentration of silver nanoparticles agglomeration in the polymer film could the possibility which create narrow pathway for water molecules to travel. The effect of various silver nanoparticles content in the polymer nanocomposites with respect to its antimicrobial efficacy against the Gram positive bacteria Escherichia coli and Gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus were studied. However, Escherichia coli was most effectively retarded by silver nanoparticles than Staphylococcus aureus, which is related to the difference in the cell wall of the gram positive and gram negative bacteria.

Authors: Deshpande Dr. Vilas G.
Published: August 2021

As it is proved that the transition metal complexes have drug activities, hence we have synthesized heterocyclic Schiff bases. Six complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Fe(III), Mn(II), Cr(II) and Cu(II) Schiff bases have been prepared. All ligands and its metal complexes the structures of the complexes have been proposed by analytical data, conductivity measurement, magnetic moment, IR, 1H NMR spectra and thermal studies. Analytical data confirmed 1:2 (metal:ligand) stoichiometry and the spectral data suggest that all Fe(III), Mn(II), Cr(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes have octahedral geometry where as the Cu(II) metal complex shows the square planar geometry. The molar conductance values of metal complexes suggest their non electrolytic nature. The IR spectral data reveals that the ligand behaves as bidentate with O,N donor atoms sequence towards central metal ion. Antibacterial and antifungal activities of ligands and its metal complexes were performed in vitro against E.coli, S. typhi, S. aureus, B. subtilis and against various fungi like P.chrysogenum, A. niger, F. moniliformae, and A.Flavus. The complexes show more activity compare to the ligand.
Blood Bank Management System to Establish Link between Donors and Blood Banks
Authors: Ringshia Aryan
Published: August 2021

Abstract: Blood donation is a vital component of international healthcare and has suffered because of the pandemic. This paper aims to address this issue by proposing the creation of a totally transparent blood bank management system in which hospitals/NGOs input the quantity of each blood type in their stock, after which nearby users who are ready to donate are notified. Following extensive research, we observed that there is no structure in place that provides a communication link between the management of blood banks (Hospitals and NGOs) and the general public, allowing available donors to view which blood banks have a shortage of their blood group. The technology platform in implementing this system uses Python programming environment Django for SQL and deployment. For frontend development, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Bootstrap were utilized. The system alleviates the issues created by blood shortages in blood banks by properly managing and providing a single platform for everyone. It makes information about available stock in each blood bank available to the public and this can be extended to multiple cities. Keywords: Blood donation, Blood stock, Hospital, Donor, System

Experimental Study on Partial Replacement of Materials like Industrial Waste & Rice Husk with Clay Mortar
Authors: Zirange Vrishabh V.
Published: August 2021

Abstract: Ancient peoples were used mud mortar for their stone houses. The result was a stone home that was both solid and warm and lasted for lifetimes. Mud made houses creates wonderful warm houses as compared to concrete made houses. In the history of construction, clay mortar was followed by lime mortar. Cement manufacturing is one of the major contributors in global warming and climate change. Also fine aggregate is the natural resource and it is limited in nature, thus industrial sand can be alternative for fine aggregate. We are going to use PPC cement because PPC cement resist sulphate attack more than OPC cement and also it is quite cheap. The setting time of the PPC cement is more than OPC cement but when it settled completely then it gives more strength more than OPC cement. Also they used river sand in there project and nowadays there is shortage of river sand that’s why we are going to use foundry sand partially replacement with sand. Foundry sand is a industrial waste sand so we can save money by using foundry sand. The mortar with the alternative fine aggregate, mixed with different combinations of binding materials. We take White clay to River sand proportion as 1:1. In that we partially replace white clay with PPC cement and in other hand River sand partially replaced with Industrial waste(Foundry sand) and also with Rice husk and that mix proportions was tested for 28 days Compressive strength & after curing of 28 days ,cubes cured in acid & alkali solution for Durability strength. The mortar with 20% PPC cement + 80% white clay & 40% foundry sand + 60% river sand (proportion of white clay to river sand is 1:1) has compressive strength in the range of 4.38MPa (Compressive strength) & 4.42Mpa (Compressive strength after Durability test) and these mixes compared with 1:6 conventional mortar proportion, which is acceptable as per the IS code 2250-1981 specification, the minimum strength requirement of mortar to be 3 MPa. Therefore, the use of stabilized mud mortar in construction would prove to be sustainable as well economical. Keywords: Mud mortar, Foundry sand, PPC cement, Compressive strength, Durability test.

Abstract: The central idea of Component Based Engineering is to develop a system software by selecting the well defined software components not used often and assembling them with certain system architecture. Nowadays the software development pattern is far different from the earlier approach as many new concepts are being taken into consideration E.g. QA (QualityAssurance). This term paper includes a detailed description of all the current component based software techniques used as well as their advantages and disadvantages. We also address the quality assurance issue of component based software engineering.
Design and aerodynamic analysis of an Automotive Adaptive Rear Diffuser
Authors: Patel Heet
Published: August 2021

Abstract: Traditional vehicles are designed to bring out the best performance, good fuel economy, fewer emissions, and good high-speed stability. In this process of designing a vehicle, the underbody geometry of a car plays a vital role and is often neglected because of its complicated design bits. Though the presence of uneven surfaces causes the layers of air to separate resulting in generating turbulence. This report is about designing an active rear diffuser of a car. The rear diffuser is an aerodynamic device that is installed in the end part of the underbody of a car. Diffuser now a day is quite a common aerodynamic device that is used in performance cars. The main moto of attaching a diffuser is to reduce the wake produced behind the car and help the streamlines to converge better. The prime focus of this study is to design an active rear diffuser that will not only help in providing great high-speed stability and aerodynamic efficiency but will also use the aerodynamic forces adversely to help the car stop faster and on its track. This is made possible first by understanding the effects of diffuser angle on the aerodynamic forces acting on the car. Further, to actually transform the computational values into a working model, an electronic circuit is designed which mimics the exact movement of the diffuser according to the speed and other driving conditions.

Effective corporate board supervision might be a viable solution to the agency problem of excessive cash holdings (Fama & Jensen, 1983). Thus, this study aims to examine how the participation of women on corporate boards affects cash management. The study looks at how the size of a company affects the relationship between female board members and cash holdings, especially at high and low cash holding levels. A total of 373 publicly-listed companies in seven industries from 2008 to 2017 were chosen as research samples using purposeful sampling. Furthermore, static panel data processing was also used. The results showed that women on boards had a favorable and important impact. This study discovered a positive and significant WOB (women on board) coefficient, implying that companies with women on board had relatively more cash on hand. This result supports the trade-off and gender role theory predictions. However, the relationship between firm size and cash keeping is negative, but insignificant for all models. Different impacts were discovered by separating a sub-sample of companies with high and low cash holding rates. Women on the board of companies with large cash holding have a significant negative effect on cash holding. The partnership between women on boards and cash holding yielded negligible results. These findings have implications for regulators and corporate decision-makers in terms of board gender equality.
Scaling industrial applications for the Big Data era

Published: August 2021

Industrial applications tend to rely increasingly on large datasets for regular operations. In order to facilitate that need, we unite the increasingly available hardware resources with fundamental problems found in classical algorithms. We show solutions to the following problems: power flow and island detection in power networks, and the more general graph sparsification. At their core lie respectively algorithms for solving systems of linear equations, graph connectivity and matrix multiplication, and spectral sparsification of graphs, which are applicable on their own to a far greater spectrum of problems. The novelty of our approach lies in developing the first open source and distributed solutions, capable of handling large datasets. Such solutions constitute a toolkit, which, aside from the initial purpose, can be used for the development of unrelated applications and for educational purposes in the study of distributed algorithms.

In the current research and development era, Human Activity Recognition (HAR) plays a vital role in analyzing the movements and activities of a human being. The main objective of HAR is to infer the current behaviour by extracting previous information. Now-a-days, the continuous improvement of living condition of human beings changes human society dramatically. To detect the activities of human beings, various devices, such as smartphones and smart watches, use different types of sensors, such as multi modal sensors, non-video based and video-based sensors, and so on. Among the entire machine learning approaches, tasks in different applications adopt extensively classification techniques, in terms of smart homes by active and assisted living, healthcare, security and surveillance, making decisions, tele-immersion, forecasting weather, official tasks, and prediction of risk analysis in society. In this paper, we perform three classification algorithms, Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO), Random Forest (RF), and Simple Logistic (SL) with the two HAR datasets, UCI HAR and WISDM, downloaded from the UCI repository. The experiment described in this paper uses the WEKA tool to evaluate performance with the matrices, Kappa statistics, relative absolute error, mean absolute error, ROC Area, and PRC Area by 10-fold cross validation technique. We also provide a comparative analysis of the classification algorithms with the two determined datasets by calculating the accuracy with precision, recall, and F-measure metrics. In the experimental results, all the three algorithms with the UCI HAR datasets achieve nearly the same accuracy of 98%.The RF algorithm with the WISDM dataset has the accuracy of 90.69%,better than the others.

Background/Aim. The transition from standard to highly conformal radiation therapy techniques requires the implementation of complex advanced dosimetry. The aim of the study was to compare dosimetric parameters of the three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plan, as well as complications after treatment in relation to dosimetric parameters in gynecological cancer patients. Methods. A total of 49 gynecological cancer patients were included in the study. All patients were planned for 3DCRT, but due to un-acceptable doses to organs at risk (OARs), treatment plans for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), or VMAT, were generated for 21 patients. The patients were prescribed 50.4 Gy/28 fractions (4 patients) and 45 Gy/25 fractions (45 patients). The coverage of planning target volume (PTV) and doses to OARs were recorded. PTV margins were evaluated for both techniques according to the Van Herk formula. Results. ICRU 83 criteria were fulfilled in all 3DCRT/VMAT/IMRT plans providing optimal coverage of PTV. Doses to OARs, on average, the V45Gy in the small bowel in IMRT/VMAT plans was four times smaller than the same in 3DCRT plans. The V45 Gy of small bowels was, on average, 49.4 cm3 in IMRT/VMAT plans, while in 3DCRT plans, it was 211.6 cm3. In the case of the femoral head, a significant reduction in V30Gy (10.8% vs. 33.1%) and mean dose in the case of IMRT/VMAT plans was recorded (30.4 Gy in 3DCRT vs. 23.6 Gy). Rectum was planned with a significantly lower dose in terms of V30Gy (79.5% vs. 95.2%) in IMRT/VMAT plans. The bladder was better spared in VMAT plans in terms of V40Gy (51% vs. 91%), but the maximum dose was higher in VMAT plans than in 3DCRT (50.1 Gy to 48.1 Gy on average). For all OARs, there was a statistically significant difference registered at p ? 0.05. Toxicities recorded in VMAT and 3DCRT patients included mainly radiation-induced cystitis and enteritis. Patients treated with 3DCRT generally had longer recovery time. The homogeneity index was 0.11 for VMAT plans and 0.09 for 3DCRT plans. Conclusions. Analysis of dosimetric parameters revealed significant differences in normal tissue doses for the same 3DCRT and VMAT patients, which confirmed the necessity for the implementation of advanced techniques for as many patients as possible.
