Graph Modelling of Social Internet of Things (S-IoT) centered home automation using medium domination approach
Authors: Khan Aysha , Shafi Jana
Published: January 2023

Preceding years predict IoT to be trend in technology domain as it possesses superior intelligence and methods to access data as well able to construct networks anywhere which we are witnessing today. Today IoT devices are well implemented and are a topic and product of interest for many. In midst of this S-IoT emerged which is understood as the added ingredient in IoT networks enables improvement in accessing data, its procession, real-time decisions, and many more new functions and all of this with an ideal price [1]. S-IoT led to the interesting development of enabling the Internet of things to be socially connected in a network with each other which permits them to socially interact with each other and have their respective profiles for their identification all similar to humans. This magical innovation-led internet networks to be more complicated. In this paper, we are modeling objects of S-Iot centered homes as network graphs with a medium domination number approach. The key notion here is to inspect the total number of objects connected that dominate every pair of objects in a network graph and the average value of this is defined as “the medium domination number”. We evaluated new results and relations along with further vulnerability methods and developed an algorithm of complexity O(n 2).
A note on the Seidel and Seidel Laplacian matrices
Authors: Askari Jalal
Published: January 2023

In this paper we investigate the spectrum of the Seidel and Seidel Laplacian matrix of a graph. We generalized the concept of Seidel Laplacian matrix which denoted by Seidel matrix and obtained some results related to them. This can be intuitively understood as a consequence of the relationship between the Seidel and Seidel Laplacian matrix in the graph by Zagreb index. In closing, we mention some alternatives to and generalization of the Seidel and Seidel Laplacian matrices. Also, we obtain relation between Seidel and Seidel Laplacian energy, related to all  graphs with order n.
A new method for designing involute trajectory timelike ruled surfaces in Minkowski 3-space
Authors: Bilici Mustafa
Published: January 2023

In this study, we present the new concept of involute trajectory ruled surface in Minkowski 3-space. The involute trajectory timelike ruled surface is a surface generated by the motion of a timelike oriented line X along the spacelike involute curve γ(s) of a given timelike base curve r(s). The main purpose of this article is to present a new perspective on the generation of developable trajectory ruled surfaces in Minkowski 3-space. These surfaces are formed depending on the angle θ between the Darboux vector D and the binormal vector b of the evolute curve r(s). Also, some new results and theorems related to the developability of the involute trajectory timelike ruled surfaces are obtained. Finally, we illustrate these surfaces by presenting one example.

Finding the closest efficient targets in DEA by a numeration method: the FDH non-convex technology
Authors: Vakili Javad , Sadighidizaji Rouhollah
Published: January 2023

Satisfying the Production Possibility Set (PPS) in Free Disposability Hull (FDH) property, there is only a few approaches which discuss on identifying the closest efficient targets of Decision Making Units (DMUs) in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). In this paper, without solving any optimization problem, a successful numeration method is proposed to compute the minimum distance of units from the strong efficient frontier of the FDH non-convex PPS. In fact, by some ratios obtained from a linear mixed-integer bi-level programming problem, the closest efficient targets of units are calculated. Moreover, there is an interesting discuss about simplifying a linear mixed-integer bi-level programming problem to reach to the ratios. Finally, the applicability of the proposed method to a real-world problem is illustrated through a numerical example

Background: Occult Hepatitis B Infection (OBI) is characterized by the detection of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) DNA in serum (usually HBV DNA < 200 IU/ml) or liver but negativity for hepatitis B surface antigen. The diagnosis of OBI is based on the sensitivity of assays used in the detection of HBV DNA and HBsAg. HBsAg assays with inadequate sensitivity or inability to detect HBV S variants may lead to a false negative HBsAg result and misdiagnosis of OBI in people with overt HBV infection. An OBI patient was followed 4 years with the analysis of HBV detection.

Current medical practice separates Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices (CIED) into two categories, conditional and nonconditional. Many physicians have been taught that patients with nonconditional CIEDs should never have MRI scans due to negative effects that the magnetic field could have on the device. Recent research has been published suggesting that MRI scans have little to no negative impact on these patients. The ability to do MRI scans on nonconditional CIED patients would lead to better patient care and outcomes along with helping to prevent misdiagnoses.

Published: January 2023

This study aimed to determine spraying concentrations of the organic foliar solution-Batraixanh Greco 01S for the production of malabar spinach and mustard greens in Spring in Gia Lam, Ha Noi. Two experiments with malabar spinach and mustard greens were arranged in a randomized complete block design with 5 treatments and 3 replications. In ech experiment, the treatments included 5 different spraying concentrations of the foliar solution (0, 2, 3, 4, 5 mL/L per each spray). The number of sprays for malabar spinach and mustard greens was 4 and 2 times, respectively, and the diluted solution for each spray was 1 L/m2. The results showed that the application of these solutions on malabar spinach and mustard greens significantly increased the growth and yield of these two leafy vegetables (P < 0.05). Malabar spinach sprayed with 3 - 5 mL/L per spray had the highest yield (15.38 - 16.70 tons/ha). The greatest yield of mustard greens was achieved with a spraying concentation of less than 3 mL/L (14.67 tons/ha). Malabar spinach and mustard greens sprayed with 3 mL/L gave the best profit margins of 1.24 and 1.59, respectively.

Authors: Tariq Hasan , Tariq Alezay , Riaz Hamza , Umar Mohammad , Nishat Mufassar , Chishty Muhammad Salman
Published: January 2023

Background: Road traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for children in Pakistan. This is particularly true in the country of Pakistan (RTA). Implementing safety measures such as car seats, limiting the ages of drivers in the family, and prohibiting children from riding bikes and driving cars can help prevent childhood accidents or minimise the severity of those injuries that do occur. It is difficult to appreciate the entire severity of the problem since there is a paucity of published research on the epidemiology of face injuries in children. This makes it difficult to invest in programmes that prevent injuries that are detrimental to the public's health. Objective: To provide a description of the epidemiology of face injuries sustained by children who were hospitalized to the hospital as a result of RTA. Duration of Study: March 2019 to March 2020 Place of Study: Allama iqbal memorial teaching hospital Khawaja Muhammad Safdar medical college Design: Cross Sectional Patients and Methods: We gathered information on all patients younger than 16 years old who were admitted to the hospital as a result of RTA between the years 2019 and 2020. The patients were all younger than 16 years old. Comparisons were done across a broad spectrum of characteristics, such as the presence or absence of Facial Injuries and age groups, amongst others. Main Outcome Measures: facial injuries. Sample Size: 220 patients. Result: As a result of their injuries, 74 (34%) of the population that was affected suffered from some form of brain impairment, and 78 (35.6%) suffered from some form of face injury. There were thirteen children (9.1% of the total population) operating the vehicle when it was involved in the accident. It was discovered that 53.8% of the children were not wearing any kind of seatbelt or other kid safety gear while they were riding in the back seats of the car and they were under age while riding a bike. Conclusion: It should not come as a surprise that facial injuries are so prevalent in our society today. In addition, the study found that teenage driving is more prevalent than was previously believed, which calls for ongoing monitoring as well as the development of suitable treatments. Increased documentation of the use of restraints and stronger enforcement of safety laws by police can both play a substantial role in reducing the number of injuries that are associated with the use of restraints. The findings of the study highlight the necessity of combination seating or rear seating in addition to restraints that are appropriate for the child's age in order to reduce the likelihood that youngsters would sustain injuries to their heads or faces.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Hysterectomy is the most common gynecological procedure. Abdominal approach is preferred for an enlarged uterus especially in cases of fibroids. However, in a small sized uterus, use of vaginal route is supported in well selected cases Objective: Aim of this audit was to analyze indications, complications, and correlation of preoperative diagnosis with the histopathology report for all hysterectomies, performed in a Shalamar Hospital Lahore. Methods: This study was crass sectional and population the obs. And Gyn. Patients of Shalamar Hospital Lahore. This study is a three year retrospective review of 755 cases of hysterectomy either for gynecological or obstetric reasons managed at Shalamar Hospital Lahore from January 2019 to December 2021. Results: Abdominal hysterectomy accounted for 94%, while vaginal hysterectomy accounted for the remaining 6%. In the former category, an 86% had total abdominal hysterectomy while 9% had subtotal hysterectomy. The average duration of hospital stay following surgery was 3-5 days. The average indoor stay was 2-3 days after vaginal hysterectomy and 4-5days after abdominal hysterectomy. There were 4 cases of mortality accounting for a mortality rate of 1.8 %. Post operative morbidity was encountered in 29.4% of the patients. Anaemia was observed in 45.9%,post operative wound infection in 30.1%, pyrexia in 9% patients, chest infection in 6.7%, bladder injury in 3.6%, bowel injury in 1.8% of the patients. Practical Implication: The practical implication of this study is to correctly treat the patients with pre-operative investigation, Complications, and Correlation of Preoperative Diagnosis with the Histopathology Report of Hysterectomies in private hospitals. Conclusions: Hysterectomy is a major gynaecological procedure. Selection of a appropriate route is very important for the safety of the patient and for hospital stay. Like any other surgery, hysterectomy has an inherent set of complications. So clinical selection should be well justified. Like in any major gynecological procedure, a skilled operator can reduce the morbidity and mortality rates. The conservative approaches should be offered before opting for hysterectomy.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Tonsillectomy is a painful surgical procedure accompanied by moderate to severe pain several days after surgery. Despite the often severe pain after tonsillectomy, under-treatment of pain has been consistently reported. The cause of this under-treatment is inadequate education of health care professionals regarding pain management. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess perioperative pain treatment given to tonsillectomy patients in otorhinolaryngology departments of tertiary care Hospitals using Procedure specific post-operative pain management (PROSPECT) guidelines for tonsillectomy. Methodology: It was an observational study with prospective data inclusion. A questionnaire was designed and filled by investigators on three different occasions (pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative). Questionaire was comprised of Patient’s demographic details, surgical indication, surgical technique used, post-operative complications and details of analgesics used during pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative settings. Results: NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, ketorolac, Flurbiprofen) were predominantly used class for perioperative analgesia alone or in combination with each other among tonsillectomy patients. Dexamethasone injection was given intra-operatively to 97% of the patient regardless of age. Nelbuphin an opioid analgesic was used only in 7% of the patients intra-operatively. Conclusion: Current study indicates that perioperative pain management for tonsillectomy in two tertiary care hospitals of Punjab was in conformity with PROSPECT guidelines for tonsillectomy patients. Patients were given standard pain treatment. However, study needs a further evaluation with larger data from different hospitals. Keywords: PROSPECT, Analgesic, Tonsillectomy, NSAIDS, Opioids
FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM stadium patient evacuation: A system testing simulation-based exercise
Authors: Gangaram Padarath , Thomson Wayne , Morris Brendon , Alinier Guillaume
Published: January 2023

Background: As the State of Qatar is soon to host the Federation International of Football Associations (FIFA) 2022 World Cup tournament, the health sector has also been preparing for the event to increase its capacity to meet the expected additional health demand. The readiness of the health sector is being tested and improved through a number of simulation-based exercises. In this case, it relates to testing in a realistic manner the complete evacuation process of a patient using two very different modes of transportation, from a distant FIFA stadium up to the handover phase in the main trauma center in the State of Qatar.

Method: In this controlled simulation-based pilot study, the total evacuation time of a patient from the 60,000-fan capacity Al Bayt Stadium (ABS), situated in a rural northern part of Qatar, to Hamad General Hospital (HGH) Trauma Resuscitation Unit (TRU) situated approximately 50 km away, was compared when transported by helicopter and by ambulance. The Scenario for the simulation was based on a player who sustained a fractured lower leg and a concussion during a football match and needed urgent evacuation from the ABS Players’ Medical Clinic near Al Khor to HGH in Doha. The same Scenario was enacted twice, the first time with a ground Hamad Medical Corporation Ambulance Service (HMCAS) ambulance and the second time with an HMCAS LifeFlight helicopter.

Results: The transportation phase for Scenario 2 (LifeFlight helicopter) was 63% faster than for Scenario 1 (ground ambulance). However, upon arrival at HGH, the patient arrived sooner at the TRU in Scenario 1 compared with Scenario 2. The overall mission time was thus only 6 minutes and 22 seconds faster by LifeFlight helicopter as compared with the ground ambulance.

Conclusions: According to this simulation-based pilot study, using a helicopter to transport patients 50 km from the ABS 2022 FIFA World Cup stadium to the HGH TRU was only marginally faster by helicopter than using a ground-based ambulance. In addition, the ambulance was not using emergency driving operations, which when used would have further reduced the time taken for the ambulance to reach HGH TRU. Therefore, having a helicopter on standby there would not significantly improve the transport time of a critically ill/injured patient’s access to definitive care and will not be available during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022TM unless it is called upon to respond to a mass casualty incident or bring additional Critical Care Paramedic resources to the stadium.
Paradoxos da gastronomização da Cuca (Kuchen): O esvaziamento da comida tradicional a serviço da invenção de uma identidade europeizada no Médio Vale do Itajaí
Authors: Matthes Daniela , Spiess Maiko , Mattedi Marcos
Published: January 2023

Contexto: Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender o fenômeno da gastronomização da Cuca (Kuchen) contextualizado em relação à criação de uma identidade europeizada com fins publicitários e turísticos no Médio Vale do Itajaí (microrregião localizada no sul do Brasil). A Cuca (Kuchen) é uma comida étnica que resguarda tradições e importância identitária tanto às comunidades rurais quanto urbanas. Para tal, Empregou-se uma combinação de diferentes recursos metodológicos: etnografia, com entrevistas a oito moradores dessa microrregião e observação participante; pesquisas documental e bibliográfica. Resultados: Conclui-se que ao ser retirada da esfera doméstica, a Cuca (Kuchen) é alçada a atrativo turístico por meio de um processo compreendido como sendo a gastronomização. Ao se aplicar verniz publicitário com ideais turísticos, esvazia-se as tradições impelidas a esta comida considerada emblemática aos descendentes de imigrantes germânicos, embora não só a estes. Especialmente quando são desconsiderados nesses processos os camponeses enquanto integrantes do sistema alimentar tradicional desse território.
Limpiar, enramar y aderezar para Corpus Christi: los indios circunvecinos de la Ciudad de México, siglos XVII-XVIII
Authors: Vázquez Martínez Ana Laura
Published: January 2023

El estudio de la fiesta de Corpus Christi ha dado lugar a numerosos estudios interdisciplinarios que reflejan la complejidad y participación de las altas jerarquías, pero pocos estudios se han enfocado al análisis y participación de los pueblos de indios. El presente artículo pretende analizar el enramado y aderezamiento que los pueblos comarcanos realizaban anualmente en la Ciudad de México, a finales del siglo XVII y durante el siglo XVIII, como parte de un trabajo religioso que les encomendaba el ayuntamiento de la ciudad para la procesión del Santísimo Sacramento. Estos adornos eran las enramadas. A lo largo de la exposición se describirá todo lo que implicaba su hechura. El argumento se reconstruye a través de un corpus documental –único en su tipo– resguardado en el Archivo Histórico del Distrito Federal y de algunos documentos del Archivo General de la Nación, para entender una parte de la historia de estas “multitudes invitadas”.
La reducción mapuche en Chile: dinámicas, discursos y tensiones en el antiguo Ngülümapu, 1883-1930
Authors: Canales Tapia Pedro
Published: January 2023

El presente trabajo aborda la historia mapuche en uno de los capítulos más dramáticos de su historia. La reducción de la población mapuche que sobrevivió a la guerra de ocupación de sus territorios (Ngülümapu), es un punto de trabajo e investigación que vincula la historia reciente con la historia de fines del siglo XIX y principios del XX. De esta manera, la metodología y marco teórico de esta proposición se erigen a partir del método histórico, el trabajo con fuentes primarias y secundarias, y el soporte conceptual a partir de los debates coloniales y subalternos, que proponen salidas analíticas a los procesos sociales y políticos que se estudian en este trabajo. Creemos que, de esta forma, los cimientos conceptuales y epistemológicos que afirman esta propuesta permiten proyectar este trabajo y esta discusión más allá de los márgenes temporales y espaciales que la encuadran.

Published: January 2023

La Ley de Acceso Justo al Hábitat (2012) de la provincia de Buenos Aires asume la complejidad de la problemática urbano-habitacional desde una perspectiva integral estableciendo la gestión democrática de la ciudad como uno de sus principios rectores. En pos de ello, se crea, en el ámbito de la autoridad de aplicación, el Consejo Provincial de Vivienda y Hábitat (CPVH) que debe actuar como órgano multiactoral de consulta y asesoramiento de políticas y programas desarrollados en el marco de la Ley. Recuperando una mirada del “Estado desde adentro” (Bohoslavsky y Soprano; 2010) nos proponemos analizar cómo se construye la agenda institucional del CPVH desde su creación (2015) hasta 2020. Nos preguntamos qué temáticas se discuten y cuáles se definen como problemas públicos y, eventualmente, se orientan hacia la formulación de alternativas de solución (Tamayo Saéz; 1997), como parte de la implementación de la Ley. Concluimos en que dicha agenda estuvo mayoritariamente supeditada a la participación y representatividad de los diferentes actores, quienes marcaron el rumbo de los debates y temas tratados que, a grandes rasgos, giraron en torno a la conformación del CPVH, a la difusión, capacitación e información disponible sobre la Ley y a su aplicación e implementación.

Agricultural economic and trade cooperation is an important part of the "One Belt, One Road" strategy, the introduction and implementation of which provides a unique historical opportunity for the development of China's agricultural trade. This paper selects panel data of China and 15 member countries of the Eurasian Union and ASEAN along the "Belt and Road" from 2000 to 2020. It uses the time-varying stochastic frontier gravity model and the import intensity index to measure China's trade expansion space and other countries' agricultural import dependence. Then, based on these two indicators, using the Boston Matrix analysis method to predict the outlook for agricultural trade between China and those 15 countries and put forward proper policy recommendations. The results show that China's trade prospects with the 15 member countries of the Eurasian Union and ASEAN along the Belt and Road differ in different agricultural market segments. But still, the overall prospects are bright, and there is room for individual countries to expand their trade or become more closely linked to our agricultural markets. China should develop more profound and comprehensive trade cooperation on the silk road for each country with different possibilities to stimulate trade potential and improve the prospects of agricultural exports to various countries.

Authors: Pan Zhengdan , Caoyan Zhihui , Ni Yuchi , Zhang Jun
Published: January 2023

China's stock market was formally established in late 1990, and the regulation of market manipulation began in 1993. Both the formation of the stock market and the regulation of manipulation have a relatively short history, and there is great room for improvement. In the Chinese stock market, there is a general perception of the existence of main forces, which play a decisive role in the manipulation of stock market prices. Obviously, the existence of the principal phenomenon is extremely detrimental to the healthy development of the Chinese stock market. For the sake of market regulation and market development, market regulators wish to recognise the phenomenon of main force. Therefore, this paper examines market price manipulation and analyses its impact on the stock market so as to make recommendations in improving stock market regulations and restraining market price manipulation.
