Necropolítica y discursos de odio. Sentimiento antinmigración, vulnerabilidad y violencia simbólica
Authors: García González Sheila
Published: November 2022

Los discursos de odio y las retóricas que estigmatizan, deshumanizan y demonizan al colectivo inmigrante son una palanca necesaria para la necropolítica. La permisividad en el discurso público a ideas y prejuicios contrarios a la inmigración es consustancial al formato necropolítico de gestión de las migraciones en la Unión Europea. Este trabajo, inspirado en las aportaciones de Achille Mbembe y Judith Butler, reflexiona sobre la configuración del sentimiento antinmigrante que, articulado a través de la violencia simbólica que atraviesa medios de comunicación y redes sociales, repercute en la creciente vulnerabilidad que afecta a este colectivo.
Democracia algorítmica: ¿un nuevo cambio estructural de la opinión pública?
Authors: García Marzá Domingo , Calvo Patrici
Published: November 2022

Este artículo se propone confrontar el concepto de opinión pública con la realidad y las expectativas de una sociedad digitalizada para analizar si la actual colonización algorítmica exige un nuevo cambio estructural de la opinión pública o más bien la retirada de este concepto. Los datos y metadatos masivos se han vuelto un arma de doble filo para la sociedad democrática digitalmente hiperconectada. Mientras que, por un lado, el increíble potencial que atesora el big data y sus diferentes técnicas y tecnologías de explotación de los datos y metadatos lo convierten en un producto codiciado por sistema de instituciones que componen tanto el estado como la sociedad civil; por otro, los altos impactos negativos que su uso instrumental e irresponsable está produciendo y puede llegar a producir, hacen del big data una herramienta controvertida y altamente criticada por alejarnos de cualquier intento de construir una ciudadanía digital. Si bien la democracia algorítmica no se apoya solo en la opinión pública, el objetivo es mostrar la incompatibilidad entre opinión pública artificial y democracia. Nuestro hilo conductor es el concepto habermasiano de opinión pública, puesto que será precisamente la fuerza de la sociedad civil, a través del diseño en su seno de espacios de participación, de donde podemos extraer el potencial necesario para enfrentarnos a la actual colonización algorítmica, para recuperar una deliberación autónoma y crítica sin la cual no existe opinión pública alguna y, por tanto, tampoco democracia.

Published: November 2022

Introduction:

Blood loss management in craniotomy is essential for a patient's haemodynamic stability and a significantly better view of the surgical site. The study aimed to address the comparative efficacy of labetalol (LAB), remifentanil (REM) and dexmedetomidine (DXM) on the bleeding control during the craniotomy procedure.

Materials and Methods:

In a double-blind trial, ninety patients eligible for undergoing craniotomy were recruited and assigned to DXM, LAB and REM groups by the block-randomised method. The vital signs, including heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure, and oxygen saturation (SaO2) after induction and during the hypotension phase every 15 min until the end of surgery and at recovery and certain time points (2, 4 and 6 h post-operative), were recorded. The amount of bleeding, surgeon satisfaction and dose of propofol used, side effects and haemoglobin level before and 12 h after surgery were registered. Data analysis was conducted using the SPSS software by one-way analysis of variance, repeated measurement test and Chi-square test at a significance level of 0.05.

Results:

No significant difference was found in vital signs, including SaO2, blood pressure, HR, duration of surgery, extubation time and the amount of propofol consumed, side effects and haemoglobin level (P > 0.05). Nevertheless, the DXM group showed a prolonged recovery time (P = 0.018), less bleeding (P = 0.001) and the highest surgeon satisfaction (P = 0.001) when compared with other groups.

Conclusion:

Our results showed that DXM helps increase surgeon satisfaction and reduce bleeding while increasing the recovery time. Overall, it does, however, have improved performance without any side effects, based on which DXM can hence be recommended to be used to control bleeding during craniotomy.

Introduction:

During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all perspectives of life were affected by the situation, and as a result, all health services worldwide were overwhelmed, which led to the exhaustion of hospital beds and intensive care units, workforce and resources. This research was done to determine the health-seeking behaviour during the COVID pandemic COVID-19 in the Al Zulfi area and its relation to the monthly number of patient visits to primary health centre before and after the pandemic and the roles and regulations for health-care services.

Materials and Methods:

This was an observational, cross-sectional study to study the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients' health-seeking behaviour in Zulfi city.

Results:

Results were obtained from 567 participants; the finding was a decline in the number of patients visiting the health facilities by 65.6% compared in 2019. There were more declines in males than in females (18.5% vs. 15.9%, respectively).

Conclusion:

Despite the strong impact of COVID-19 on healthcare, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the strongest countries in facing this pandemic, providing the best care, educating society and minimizing losses. Under these circumstances, patients' visits to health centres in Zulfi decreased, complications appeared for some patients who rescheduled their appointments, healthcare became electronic, and the patients were satisfied with those services.

Published: November 2022

Enterobius vermicularis, also known as pinworm or threadworm, is a large intestinal nematode which has a high prevalence among children and peripubertal age in our country. Transmission usually occurs by autoinfection like finger contamination of the embryonated eggs deposited by the gravid female worm on the perianal and perineal region. Globally, only a few reports are there regarding the isolation of the parasite from extra-intestinal sites. These are two rare case reports of ocular enterobiasis. The first case was a middle-aged female and the second one was a 14-year-old girl, both of whom were referred from other tertiary care hospitals to Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine and who presented with discharge of live motile worms from their eyes (conjunctiva). In both the cases, identification was done by saline wet mount and direct microscopy of a gravid female worm. Plano-convex embryonated eggs were also observed. The oval embryonated eggs, plano-convex in shape, and the gravid female, with its cervical alae near the anterior end and straight thin pointed tail, were identified under the microscope. Although E. vermicularis is a very common large intestinal parasitic infestation of children and adolescents, it can also rarely be isolated from unusual sites, which should be taken into account for effective diagnosis and treatment.

Published: November 2022

En el archipiélago Sabana-Camagüey, al norte de Cuba, se ha propuesto aumentar la actividad turística. Sin embargo, la infraestructura de transporte de esta región parece insuficiente para soportar este cambio. Por sus características geográficas esta zona es muy vulnerable a la incidencia directa de huracanes, frentes fríos y otros fenómenos naturales, que atentan contra la conectividad y el buen estado de los viales. El objetivo de este trabajo fue desarrollar una propuesta que permita establecer una conexión entre los principales polos turísticos de esa región. Durante las diferentes etapas de investigación se analizaron los intensos flujos pendulares diarios de trabajadores y la transportación de cargas, materiales y equipos de la construcción. Se analizó además la incidencia de fenómenos de origen natural, como ciclones y frentes fríos, sobre las estructuras ya existentes, tanto en los cayos como conectando los mismos. Se obtuvo como resultado tres variantes de un posible sistema de infraestructura vial que favorezca la vinculación entre los diferentes polos turísticos de la cayería norte de Cuba, basadas en sistemas multimodales de transportación que permitan disminuir la vulnerabilidad de la zona, mejorar la conectividad y favorecer el mantenimiento de la infraestructura de transporte existente.

This paper presents a geological study in the Călimăneşti-Căciulata area regarding mineral and geothermal waters. The detailed geological map at a scale of 1: 50000, made on the basis of detailed geological maps, is the starting material in this study. The types of water sources targeted are mineral springs, boreholes and surface water in the area. The database includes both geological and tectonic elements, as well as measurements of deuterium (δD (‰)) and overall salt content (∆d (mg/l)) expressed as the difference in density between a distilled water taken as a standard and water sample. In the case of surface water, due to the evaporation produced during the summer months which results in an enrichment in both deuterium and salts, there is a positive correlation between the values δD and Δd. If there are relationships with groundwater, correlation coefficients are low or even negative. For different water sources in the Călimănești-Căciulata area (average values), there is a good correlation between the deuterium concentration values and the global salt content. Regarding the seasonal variations, the general behavior of the groundwater in the Călimănești-Căciulata area is typical for the waters from the meteoric circuit, both according to the average values of the deuterium concentrations and according to their variations in time. The possibility of defining mixing lines of groundwater sources in this area is a criterion for integration into a single hydrodynamic system, which was formed by mixing, in different proportions, water infiltrated at high altitudes (mountain area) and water. of local infiltration, in accordance with tectonic lines and geological formations.

Hydrophobic catalysts used in catalytic detritiation process of heavy water consist of platinum impregnated on charcoal (commercial material) and PTFE. For this type of material, Pt is found as agglomerates leading to an increase of hydrophilicity in the final catalyst and also, to a low number of functional groups for isotopic exchange. Therefore, in order to avoid these drawbacks, another type of platinum-based material was considered, with a higher platinum dispersion which would lead to an increase number of functional groups for the isotopic exchange process. There are different methods to synthesize Pt on graphene composites, but using microwaves involves advantages like fewer stages and shorter time to produce. The obtaining method uses reduction of H2PtCl6 in the presence of ethylene glycol and other reducing agents (NaBH4 and KOH) and graphene oxide suspension. Samples were then microstructurally investigated using SEM, BET, X-ray diffraction, RAMAN and TGA.

The research activities consisted in the inventory of stable hydrogen isotopic and geochemical data for mineral and geothermal waters belonging to the Olănești resort in order to define their origin, genetic relationships and underground dynamics in the geological context of the Getic Depression. Comparative study with other Carpathian zones (i. e. East Carpathians, Apuseni Mountains, Pannonian Basin, Transylvanian Basin, Getic Depression, and External Flysch) has also been performed. Previous hydrogeological, hydrochemical and isotopic studies identified three components for the groundwaters in the Olănești area: deep formation waters, local infiltration waters (especially from the Olăneşti Valley), and waters from high altitudes. Formation waters from Olănești and from other resorts in the Getic Depression (Călimenești – Căciulata and Govora) display mean δD and TDS values similar to those of formation waters in the Balvanyos - Covasna area (East Carpathians), and also to the salt waters in the Transylvanian Basin. The major contribution of formation water to the genesis of mineral waters in the Getic Depression makes them extremely vulnerable to degradation over time because formation water is a „fossil” not renewable component.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) and radio frequency identification (RFID) are base technologies employed in decentralized dynamic environments. In the hybrid network that is induced by integrating RFID and WSN, RFID data can be used by applying WSN protocols for multi-hop communications. RFID data, however, includes a significant amount of duplicate information, which lengthens response time and consumes more energy, wasting a variety of resources. The hierarchical RFID-sensor topology, network RFID-sensor topology, reader-sensor nodes topology, and mixed topology are the four most commonly used RFID-WSN integration architectures. In this article, a novel plan for a WSN–RFID integrated network was proposed. The entire network is divided into clusters, and the Huffman algorithm is used to reduce energy consumption in sending information to the base station. Further, we propose two algorithms to overcome the redundancy of the data on the hybrid network. Our simulation findings demonstrate that the studied method decreases redundant data, energy consumption, and processing duration in comparison with existing methods.

Background : Cleft lip and cleft palate are the most common congenital craniofacial anomalies treated by plastic surgeons. The incidence of cleft lip and palate is higher at lower socioeconomic levels. Hospital Social Responsibility (HSR) in Gatot Soebroto Central Army Hospital provides free cleft lip and palate surgeries to those who need it the most. The HSR services still need to be evaluated, to get an overview of epidemiologic profile of cleft lip and palate patients, and to improve the services itself. Materials and Method: The authors conducted a retrospective descriptive study based on online data of Smile Train HSR RSPAD Cleft Center from period of January 2015 to December 2019. All patients presented with cleft lip and/or palate were included. Results : Of all 713 patients in total; The gender distribution male 62.2% (444/713) was higher than female 37.7% (269/713). Most of the patients came from Java Island 77.5% (553/713). 685 were primary surgeries, 28 secondary surgeries. Among the primary surgeries, lip repair has the highest numbers 71.6% (491/685), followed by palate repair 27.2% (187/685), and alveolar bone grafting 1% (7/685). The most widely used surgical technique in lip surgery was the Millard 50% (345/685), while the most widely used surgical technique in palate surgery was the Bardach technique 22.9% (157/685). The median age for the primary lip repair patients was 1 year (range, 3 months to 60 years), and the median age for the primary palate repair patients was 4 year (range, 7 months to 26 years). Among secondary surgeries, lip revision with Millard technique was the highest (82.1%), followed by scar revision 3.57%, fistula repair (7.1%). The most common diagnosis was unilateral cleft lip (left 34.4%, right 13.2%) and followed by complete cleft palate (22.7%) Conclusion : Male patients were more dominant than females. The most common diagnosis was unilateral cleft lip. Incomplete diagnostic data and clinical photos of patients make it difficult to determine the complete diagnose of cleft lip and palate.

This study examined the predictors of profitability in Nigeria Insurance Industry between 2011 and 2020. It looked into the effect of financial leverage, solvency margin, financial liquidity and risk underwriting on Profitability of insurance industry in Nigeria. In the study, descriptive research design was employed with the population of thirteen (N=13) composite insurers from which a sample of six (n=6) were randomly selected. Four hypotheses were tested using e-view. Findings showed that SOVEREIGN TRUST plc has the highest ROE with mean value of 0.058489 followed by LEADWAY Insurance Plc with 0.043822 mean value on ROE. Mutual Benefit plc covers 0.038811 and PRESTIGE insurance has ROE of 0.028478. LASACO Assurance Plc with 0.025744 while Cornerstone plc has the lowest mean value on ROE: 0.0112 in the distribution. Thus it is evident that SOVEREIGN TRUST plc and LEADWAY Insurance Plc are the leaders in the Nigerian Insurance industry for the period, with positive effect of financial leverage, solvency margin, financial liquidity and risk underwriting on profitability of the insurance companies in Nigeria. The study therefore concluded that there is statistically significant relationship between the four independent variables (financial liquidity, solvency margin, risk underwriting and financial leverage) on the dependent variable , profitability, proxied by return on equity of insurance companies in Nigeria. The study recommended that stakeholders in the Nigerian insurance industry in collaboration with their regulatory body; National Insurance Commission (NAICOM), should maximize the contributions of the various predictors of profitability in the composite insurance industry across the nation.

Primary data was collected using questionnaires administered to top level employees and other employees of 11 banks using a purposive random sample of 150 respondents out of which 97 responses were collected. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, exploratory factor analysis and regression with aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. The result of the analysis shows that risk assessment risk assessment practice has a positive impact on the performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria (B= 0.390, t= 4.019, p < 0.01) and that monitoring activities have a positive impact on the performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria (B= 0.415, t= 4.019, p < 0.01) Each has a positive and significant impact on financial, non financial and overall organizational performance DMBs in Nigeria. Based on the findings, it is concluded that internal control mechanism is a significant predictor of organization financial and non-financial performance and that effective internal control systems must incorporate the effects of risk assessment and control activities to enhance organizational performance of DMBs. The study therefore recommended that internal control systems especially risk assessment and monitoring activities are significant areas and management of DMBs in Nigeria should give great attention to them in order to improve organizational performance.

Researched and developed scientifically and methodologically foundations for optimal identification of micro-objects using traditional and Gaussian filtering, median filter, filters based on fast Fourier transform, wavelet transforms, shift transforms, mechanisms using geometric, specific features, statistical, dynamic properties of image information. Mechanisms for optimizing the identification of micro-objects are proposed that have advantages in reducing the complexity and laboriousness of analyzing the structure and processing information, identifying and segmentation of the image contour, using the dynamics of growth, visual differentiation, extracting internal features and properties, approximation, smoothing, and interpretation of objects. A mechanism has been investigated and implemented that performs the following functions: aligns histology slices; finds contours of objects, a set of levels, thresholds, combines segmentation, conducts registrations, forms a search graph, performs approximations based on a wavelet, shear, and other transformations, determines parameters, performs color coding and color visualization of micro-objects. The implementations of algorithms and software modules of the software complex for identification, recognition and classification of micro-objects, in particular, cellular elements of the inflammatory series (fibroblasts, fibrocytes) of lung disease, have been tested. The signs of chronic inflammation were assessed - the presence of giant cells. A software package for visualization, recognition, classification of images of pollen grains has been developed, the implementations of which have been tested taking into account the conditions of a priori insufficiency, parametric uncertainty and nonstationarity of processes.

Ivan Tomas and the Smuggler for the Pope
Authors: Tomas Domagoj
Published: November 2022

During the pontificate of Pope Pius XII (1939 - 1958) the relations between the Holy See and the European communist countries were strained or severed. In such circumstances the trial of the Archbishop of Zagreb, Alojzije Stepinac, was held in the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia (FPRY), ending in 1946 when he was sentenced to 16 years in prison. After serving a five-year prison sentence, Stepinac was given a choice to go to Rome or to serve the rest of the sentence under house arrest in his hometown of Krašić. After Stepinac was appointed cardinal in 1953, the FPRY severed diplomatic relations with the Holy See, and Stepinac lost the opportunity to go to Rome and take over the cardinal's insignia.
At the time Croatian Catholic priest Ivan Tomas was working at Vatican Radio in Rome. The result of Tomas's effort and the help of an American tourist of Slovenian origin, Frances Yenko Chilcoat, was an interesting and unusual journey of Stepinac’s cardinal robe and its safe arrival to the territory of the FPRY in 1954. Yenko Chilcoat described her endeavour in a memoir entitled Smuggler for the Pope, published in 2006.
This paper will first explain the international political context of the time of her arrival from the United States of America to Europe and the church-state relations between the Holy See and the FPRY after World War II. Furthermore, the paper will verify the authenticity of Yenko Chilcoat's memoir and the credibility of her claims, analyse Tomas's role in the transfer of the cardinal robe, as well as the consequences of the cardinal robe coming into Stepinac's possession. Finally, a conclusion will be made about the meaning and the importance of Stepinac's cardinal robe transfer from Rome to the FPRY in the context of the contemporary church-state relations.

Published: November 2022

Objective: It is aimed to evaluate the relationship of food consumptions, biochemical blood parameters, and some anthropometrics with the screening tests using in the nutritional status of hemodialysis patients with end stage renal failure. Materials and Methods: The survey were conducted with 110 hemodialysis patients who hospitalized at the Nephrology Clinic in Akdeniz University Hospital. The routine biochemical blood parameters of the patients were analyzed and their anthropometric measurements were performed. The food consumptions were recorded by the dietician and Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002), Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA)has screening tests using were performed. Results: The average age of the patients participating in the study was 55 ± 19 years. In MUST, 42.7% of the patients were at high risk, 18.2% of them at moderate risk by malnutrition. Statistically significant relationship was also negatively determined between body weight, dry weight, BMI, the waist circumference, and MUST and SGA (p<0.05). A negatively significant relationship was statistically found among albumin, creatinine, hemoglobin and calcium readouts by NRS2002, among albumin, BUN, calcium and phosphorus readouts by MUST, among albumin, hemoglobin and calcium readouts by SGA (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was observed that the dialysis patients could not get the advised nutritional quantities, thence malnutrition progressed. It is concluded that anthropometric measurements are more concordant with MUST and the biochemical symptoms with NRS2002, and therefore both must be taken into consideration in the assessment of nutritional status correctly of the end-stage renal patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Perangkap lipat merupakan pengembangan alat tangkap.  Penggunaan trap menghasilkan hasil tangkapan dengan kualitas terbaik.  Penelitian ini berfokus pada perairan pancana sejak bulan mei – agustus 2019. Tujuan penelitian untuk meningkatkan produktivitas dan selektivitas modifikasi perangkap lipat kepiting.  Berdasarkan penelitian skala laboratorium, maka dibuat modifikasi alat tangkap perangkap lipat yang modelnya berdasarkan perangkap lipat komersil yang digunakan oleh nelayan. Perangkap lipat yang dibuat dalam penelitian ini berukuran 70 cm x 50 cm x 35 cm (p x l x t), dengan sudut kemiringan lintasan pintu masuk 30° dan 40°. Perangkap dibuat dalam dua kelompok yaitu dengan celah dan tanpa celah pelolosan. Ukuran celah pelolosan yang digunakan yaitu 4 cm x 6 cm dan 5 cm x 7 cm. Analisis statistik deskriptif dan parametrik (ANOVA dan uji t), digunakan untuk mengetahui perbedaan diantara perangkap lipat yang di ujicoba. Hasilnya, diketahui bahwa ada pengaruh perbedaan sudut kemiringan lintasan pintu masuk terhadap jumlah hasil tangkapan kepiting pada perangkap lipat (F = 5,458;  P = 0,023 < α = 0,05). Sudut kemiringan 30° memberikan hasil tangkapan total atau tangkapan kepiting (utama dan sampingan) yang lebih baik dari sudut 40° ((t hit  = 4,407 , P < 0,05), dan dari perangkap lipat komersil yang digunakan nelayan (sudut kemiringan lintasan pintu masuk 20°). Selain itu, diketahui juga bahwa tidak ada perbedaan terhadap tingkat masuknya kepiting ke dalam perangkap antara perangkap lipat tanpa dan dengan celah pelolosan (F = 5,458; P(0,023)<α(0,05)). Berdasarkan analisis terhadap hasil tangkapan yang tertahan dan yang meloloskan diri melalui celah pelolosan pada perangkap lipat, diketahui bahwa celah pelolosan dengan ukuran 4 cm x 6 cm lebih baik dari celah pelolosan lainnya.

Sellos de cera y tormentas de fuego: cera y deseo femenino en el sistema simbólico de «El celoso estremeño»
Authors: Sánchez Jiménez Antonio
Published: November 2022

Este trabajo examina el sistema metafórico de «El celoso estremeño» a partir de una imagen central: la cera. Tras un estado de la cuestión sobre la metáfora cervantina, cartografiamos las apariciones y transformaciones de la cera en «El celoso estremeño», así como su especificidad con respecto a otras obras de Cervantes. Con esto ilustramos el sentido de la imagen y su relación con los temas más importantes de la novela, es decir, el deseo femenino y el libre albedrío, con los que la cera conforma un nudo de metáforas y asociaciones que resume la cancioncilla que se canta en el centro de la obra: como la cera, la voluntad femenina puede ser maleable, pero la forma que se le imprima puede fundirse ante el fuego del deseo, el cual solo puede controlar la voluntad de la interesada. Gracias a esta imagen de la cera, «El celoso estremeño» se revela una exploración del deseo femenino y una muestra del pensamiento cervantino al respecto.

Published: November 2022

As an integral skill in Math learning at high schools, Math communication competencies are formed and developed throughout the process of Math learning in the classroom environment through student-teacher, student-student as well as student-learning material and instrument interactions. Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Development acts as the foundation and guideline for the teaching and learning process at school, emphasizing the role of social interaction in cognitive development. The study presents the two concepts of ‘community’ and ‘social interactions’ from the theory by Vygotsky for application in Math teaching. The article starts with clarifying the two concepts above in the context of Math classrooms, then proposes several sample activities of teaching Algebra in high schools with the application of the two concepts to develop learners’ Math communication competence.
Investigating the Effect of Underground Water on Mechanical and Durability Properties of Brick Kiln Ash Concrete
Authors: Bhangwar Jansher Khan
Published: November 2022

The need for water has increased worldwide and access to potable water in developing and developed countries is quite a big challenge nowadays. The quality of mixing water plays a vital role in the properties of fresh and hardened concrete including strength and durability. Nowadays sustainable material in the form of waste is being utilized in
concrete as well as in a mortar. Brick kiln ash is one of the pozzolanic materials being used in the replacement of cement. Brick Kiln Ash is abundantly produced waste material that is disposed of in large areas of land which not only occupies land but also creates environmental pollution. These problems could be reduced by recycling these
waste materials in concrete which can be used as a partial replacement for cement. In this research work, the effect of underground water in the partial replacement of cement with brick kiln ash has been studied. Concrete mix ratio of 1:2:4 with w/c 0.5 and 10 % replacement of brick kiln ash with cement used throughout the experimental work.
A total number of 36 samples of cube specimens of size 4x4x4 inch and 36 cylindrical specimens of size 4x8 inch were cast using potable water and underground water collected from village Faiz Muhammad Bhangwar, Bhutta village Khadhar road and New Naka Sakrand road. The control mix samples were cured in potable water while the
other three samples were cured in the underground water collected source for 3, 14, and 28 days respectively. A decreasing trend has been observed in compressive strength, tensile strength, density, and pulse velocity tests. The underground water taken from village Faiz Muhammad Bhangwar Nawabshah having a chloride content is 500 ppm used for mixing and curing concrete is comparatively good as compared to other underground water sources.

To address the current security challenges, Digital Twin (DT) models and strategies are to be applied to improve security, privacy, and safety in intelligent transportation systems. However, the existing algorithm was failed to address the security and privacy issues for data between the vehicles. To enhance the security of data transmission, a novel Probit Regressive Davis Mayer Kupyna Cryptographic Hash Blockchain (PRDMKCHB) technique is proposed. Initially, the source vehicle finds the nearest vehicle to transmit the data based on the trust value using the probit regression function. After finding the neighboring nodes, the Blockchain is constructed to improve the security of data transmission from the source to the destination. The Blockchain uses the Kupyna Cryptography to generate the hash value for each data. Davis Mayer compression function is to improve the security of data delivery and to minimize packet loss. The comprehensive simulation is carried out to validate the performance of the proposed PRDMKCHB technique and existing Blockchain technology in terms of packet delivery ratio, packet loss rate, and execution time. Simulation results show the performance improvement of the proposed PRDMKCHB technique compared to the previous Blockchain technology in terms of higher packet delivery ratio, minimum packet loss, and execution time with respect to the number of data packets.
