Blunt abdominal trauma can result in complications such as hemoperitoneum due to injuries to solid organs such as spleen, liver, kidney and may even cause a retroperitoneal haematoma. It can also cause various modalities of injuries to hollow viscus such as stomach, small and large intestines.
Assembly of Neuroscience to the Model of Mind
Authors: - Pathma A. Liyanage
Published: October 2023

Currently, there are several mind models developed as cognitive architectures and their
main focus is to explain mind functions. However, few architectures explain the neural
basis of the mind. Also, neuroscience explains the neural basis of the brain and is directly
related to the mind. The study objective was to identify a mind model with a neural basis
established in the model. Therefore, the study uses a systematic review of existing
literature to find a mental model with a neural basis.
There are 300 articles identified in searching databases of PUBMED and Google Scholar.
After duplicated removal, initial screening was done using an independent reviewer and
remaining full-text articles were submitted to eligibility assessment. From the assessed
full-text articles, 9 full-text articles were selected for synthesis. From those selected
architectures, considering the richness of mental functions and richness of neurological
assemblies, features of the architectures op of ACT-R (Adaptive control of thoughts –
Rational) cognitive architecture, Leabra cognitive architecture and an embodied
cognitive-affective architecture select for inclusion in the final model.
The central structure of the mind is the amygdala. It gets sensory inputs through the
sensory cortex and external stimuli through the thalamus. It processes those inputs using
working memory as mPFC and dLPFC. After processing, the amygdala provides output
as behavior.
Also, brain structures of the partial cortex, cortex, para hippo cortex, perirhinal cortex,
entorhinal cortex, subiculum, dentate gyrus, CA1 and CA3 areas of the hippocampus are
used for memory encoding, memory retrieval, and critical learning. Overall, the posterior
cortex processes the sensory and semantic information. The hippocampus works as
episodic memory. The frontal cortex works as active maintenance of the thinking process.
The basal ganglia works as action selection and the main part of the thinking process.
This reveals the mind model with neurological circuit assemblies to it. The final model
will limit to features of the currently existing literature

Authors: - Dr. Ramakrishna
Published: October 2023

This study shows the recent trend and future opportunities in green finance in the emerging India. A group of pioneering cities have demonstrated that energy efficiency conserves natural resources, strengthens resilience to meteorological disruptions, and leads to substantial savings in fossil fuel. Co-operations across the governments at various levels are most important. The national government can support the cities by increasing the funding which suites the energy saving and also locally administrated. The different mandates, expertise, and the multijurisdictional fluidity of most environmental problems, collaboration amongst neighboring municipalities, regions, and the national government, is of paramount importance. By suggesting new policies to the local authorities for the issuance of emission permits and/or for monitoring, reporting and verification of emissions. Perhaps the most common obstacle to the growth of the “green city”, especially during the current economic crisis, is the lack of funding for environmentally friendly infrastructure. Urban climate change policies will have consequences for city’s budgets for which new solutions are required. The sustainable local development can be made through the Green taxes so that more incentives can be provided and also to perform the existing program in an innovative manner. The government can be fiscally sound and innovative programmes and also environmentally good the in the practice of purchasing the green procurement. But also the climatic source of energy plays a vital role. In that water plays a major role because many cities around the world are already facing the importance of water stresses due to large amount of demands. So this paper implicates the valuable suggestions to meet the above all mentioned crises pertaining in our country.

Diagnostic Serum Markers for Pre-eclampsia – An Overview
Authors: - Haripriya , - Shreya Nigoshkar , - Ketan Anant
Published: October 2023

Pre-eclampsia, a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, remains a major global health concern due to its potential for adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management. Serum markers have emerged as valuable tools in this regard, offering insights into the pathophysiology and severity of pre-eclampsia. This comprehensive review explores the diagnostic utility of serum markers in pre-eclampsia. We examine the physiological basis and rationale for using specific markers, including serum uric acid, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), 24-hour urine protein, and serum prolactin, among others. Additionally, we discuss the challenges and limitations associated with these markers, considering factors influencing marker levels and diagnostic interpretation. Serum markers, when integrated into clinical practice, enhance early diagnosis, risk stratification, and individualized care for pregnant individuals. They facilitate the identification of high-risk cases, prompt timely interventions, and reduce maternal and fetal complications associated with pre-eclampsia. Furthermore, clinical guidelines from authoritative bodies endorse the incorporation of serum markers in pre-eclampsia assessment. Serum markers represent a promising frontier in pre-eclampsia diagnosis, offering the potential to revolutionize prenatal care. While challenges exist, ongoing research, standardization efforts, and larger-scale studies will further refine the clinical utility of serum markers. Their integration aligns with established guidelines and holds the promise of improving maternal and fetal outcomes, making a significant impact on global maternal healthcare.
The Nation and the Woman: Reading Maitreyi Devi’s It Does Not Die in Post Globalized India
Authors: - Debopriya Banerjee
Published: October 2023

The discursive territory of the idea of a nationalism that was taking shape in the early decades of the previous century employed the notion of womanhood as a critical component. The construct of the Indian woman, as noted social scientist Partha Chatterjee observes became instrumental in shaping the idea of the nation at a time when the idiom of nationalism was negotiating its invariable dialogue/exchange with Western modernity. Even as the new Indian woman partakes of the accomplishments of Western modernity, she remains the principal custodian of the pristine, unadulterated space of the home and bearer of the normative familial conjugal values. The icon of the modern accomplished women enshrined within sanctified normative space of the home becomes emblematic of the idea nation and its troubled dialogue with modernity. Maitreyi Devi’s novel Na Hanyate (translated in English as It does Not Die) which is the primary focus of this paper offers a valuable opportunity to study the ramification of nationalistic ideology and Indian womanhood at the time it was taking shape. This paper intends to explore how her reminiscence of an interracial romance is also an attempt to articulate an autonomous voice and reclaim a shared private space that runs against the normative coda of Indian woman. The multiple adaptations of this tale – both credited and uncredited – are studied alongside to explore perception and evolution of modern womanhood in contemporary times.

Retirement Planning: A Brief Snapshot Of The Demographic Factors Influencing The Choice Of Investments For Planning Your Retirement
Authors: - Athira K , - Mohamed Kutty Kakkakunnan
Published: October 2023

Establishing a comfortable life in retirement from a personal and financial outlook is a very intricate exercise that calls for careful planning and years of perseverance. Retirement strategy differs from other forms of investment strategies given that it empowers people to have financial independence and, consequently, lead a contented and happy life even when they are not working. From this perspective, it becomes evident that being poorly prepared in terms of finances for retirement might only diminish the value of a retired life.
When it comes to retirement planning, there are a number of factors that can influence one's investment choices. It is important to carefully consider these factors in order to make informed decisions and ensure long-term financial stability. By taking a thoughtful and strategic approach to retirement planning, individuals can best position themselves for a comfortable and secure retirement. The primary intention of this paper is to offer a brief literature review by focusing on several factors which influence the financial strategies and investment plan of people for their post-retirement lives. The current study seeks to look into why some persons are capable of planning for retirement while others are unable to do so. The factors that influenced the decisions regarding retirement planning were found to be age, gender, marital status, education and income. The most significant factor that explained the diversity in retirement savings of people turned out to be the income and education. The retirement planning and financial preparedness of households with greater levels of education and income were revealed to be superior. The study revealed that young people and women trailed behind in their retirement preparation and are less conscious of it.

Published: October 2023

The phenomenon of rapid urbanisation that has occurred since the 1950s has presented opportunities for growth and innovation in cities, primarily through the utilisation of urban agglomerations and economies of scale. Urban areas encounter diverse obstacles that restrict their ability to provide services to inhabitants and hinder the achievement of a sustainable urban future for the residents. This research examines the issue of urban functional weakness, with a specific emphasis on the emergence of a global technology hub such as Cyberjaya, Malaysia. This study analyses the relocation behaviours of residents, with a focus on the international community, and it identifies inadequate public infrastructure as the primary factor contributing to liveability issues within the urban area. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, utilising both quantitative data collection and in-depth interviews, to support its findings. This study examines the impact of social variables and public infrastructure on neighbourhood liveability and design quality. The findings suggest that social variables play a significant role in neighbourhood liveability, while public infrastructure has a positive effect on both liveability and design quality.

Published: October 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic developed in a context of hypermobility. International globalised financial capitalism has been consolidated at the beginning of the 21st century and it has resulted in an unprecedented increase in mobility. In Galicia (an autonomous region located in the northwest of Spain), as in many other Spanish, European and world territories, mobility restrictions were carried out according to different criteria. Here we will be concerned with showing the effectiveness of the different measures taken by the national and regional governments, linked to mobility and pandemic management. To achieve this objective, in addition to the official reports from the competent authorities, we use detailed data on the number and addresses of those infected during the first wave. We have this information because we were selected by the Government of Galicia to carry out a study on the territorial behaviour of the pandemic in Galicia.

Published: October 2023

Many sectors of human activity have implemented various solutions based on artificial intelligence methods. These solutions help significantly in decision-making tasks, especially when analyzing a large amount of relevant data is required beforehand. This paper discusses developing a computer system to assist doctors in diagnosing osteoporosis based on densitometric exam results. The system was developed using machine learning and trained on patient data obtained from densitometric examinations. The STRATOS device was used to collect data at AltMed Medical Center in Armenia. The goal of the system is to provide an accurate diagnosis of osteoporosis in patients while ensuring that the diagnosis is reliable and effective. During the system’s development, we utilized three prominent machine learning models: Decision Tree, Random Forest, and SVM (Support Vector Machines). To enhance the accuracy and robustness of the system, these models were selected based on their effectiveness in solving complex classification problems. The developed system is equipped with advanced tools to detect potential diseases by exploring unidentified patterns and correlations among syndromes. The mentioned capability improves the diagnostic capabilities of the system. Achieving the medical goal requires early detection and accurate diagnosis. The AltMed Medical Center plans to utilize this system to provide medical professionals with support for informed decisions and improved patient care. The ability of the system to analyze complex medical data and reveal hidden insights makes it a valuable asset in the field.
Statistical Significance and Utility of Data-Driven Functional Dependencies of Wine Quality Data of Numerical Attributes
Authors: Sug Hyontai
Published: October 2023

There has been a lot of research work to find out functional dependencies algorithmically from databases. But, when the databases consist of numerical attributes, some of the found functional dependencies might not be real functional dependencies, because numerical attributes can have a variety of values. On the other hand, regression analysis is an analysis method in which a model of the observed continuous or numerical variables is obtained and the degree of fit is measured. In this paper, we show how we can determine whether the found functional dependencies of numerical attributes have explanatory power by doing multivariate linear regression tests. We can check their explanatory power by way of adjusted R-squared, as well as other statistics like multicollinearity, the Durbin-Watson test for independence, and the F value for suitability of the regression models. For the experiment, we used the wine quality data set of Vinho Verde in the UCI machine learning library, and we found out that only 48.7% and 30.7% of functional dependencies found by the algorithm called FDtool have explanatory power for the red wine and white wine data set respectively. So, we can conclude that we should be careful when we want to apply the functional dependencies found by the algorithm. In addition, as a possible application of the found functional dependencies in the conditional attributes of the data sets, we have generated a series of random forests by dropping redundant attributes that appear on the right-hand side of the explanatory functional dependencies and acquired good results. So, we can also conclude that we may reduce our efforts by not collecting the data of the redundant attribute to check the wine quality because we can use samples with as few attribute values as possible in mass-produced wines like Vinho Verde.

Authors: Cabrera Cuevas Jessica , Crisafulli Jorge
Published: October 2023

This interview was conducted with the priest Jorge Crisafulli, in the context of a tour around Europe to promote the solidarity projects he directs in Sierra Leone. He shares with us the behind the scenes of two documentaries made in two of the most relevant projects he carries out with children in a context of extreme vulnerability: the documentary ‘Freedom’, and the documentary ‘Love’. That is, children who survive various situations of abuse and injustice, giving way to innovative programs that emerge from the urgency and social needs of West Africa and Sierra Leone in particular. He shares with us how creativity arises in a program to rescue children in street and prostitution situations, where, using a bus as a resource, it has been transformed into an infirmary, classrooms, dining room, training, and advice on legal issues, among others, and how these emerging needs give rise to new programs, such as Girls Shelter Plus or El Hogar Plus for Girls. The interviewee highlights the importance of knowing and respecting cultural diversity, including those who are discriminated against by society. On the other hand, it is important to highlight the potential of each child in a street situation, who can become great professionals by overcoming adversity. When something doesn’t work,” he says, “you have to be creative, change the present to create a better future. Certainly, his work offers us the opportunity to be more aware of these realities and to understand the importance of creative potential for a more just and peaceful life.

To visualize a creative society is to walk towards fair, comprehensive and human horizon; this creative society must have the 5 Ss: Healthy (Sana in Spanish) Sustainable, Sensitive, Solidary and Synergistic, basic characteristics if we intend to innovate, cooperate and share. To generate a creative society, educational centers will have to change their culture and start promoting, among other resources, creativity, resilience and an entrepreneurial attitude. Three great challenges are proposed: 1) Redefine the identity of the human being. 2) Acquire the commitment to build a creative society. 3) Develop the spiritual dimension.
Las olas de la creatividad en España
Authors: Menchén Bellón Francisco
Published: October 2023

Taking advantage of the evolutionary process of Covid-19, through the different mutations that we have experienced over two years, I wanted to transfer this model of waves to the field of creativity, in order to know all the details of this human capacity. The waves of creativity have a regenerating effect on the mind and make you recover a sense of satisfaction and well-being that allows us to recharge energy to discover our essence and live with joy. What happens to creativity is what seems to have no limits to the sea. From my personal perspective, I have considered that in Spain we have had seven waves that I have precisely defined which are the key moments and their circumstances. At the same time, I wanted to pay a special tribute to the most relevant figure in the initial moments: Dr. Ricardo Marín Ibáñez, knew with his wisdom and love for education, to create a school, leave a mark and promote this universal capacity for the good of humanity. Finally, a visualization of the future of this unique attribute that defines us appears.

Poética del relato multimodal en Cuerpos del delito, de Antonio Altarriba y Sergio García
Authors: Trabado Cabado José Manuel
Published: October 2023

Este artículo parte de los conceptos de fusión text (Evans, 2015) y de discurso multimodal (Kress, Van Leewen, 2001) para analizar los rasgos formales de la obra de Antonio Altarriba y Sergio García, Cuerpos del delito. En este particular texto híbrido se pueden apreciar varios niveles discursivos que poseen diferentes modos de cohesión textual que exigen, a su vez, diferentes modos de lectura. El texto se basa en repeticiones, simetrías y en el uso del leitmotiv del tabaco; en el nivel gráfico, Sergio García lleva a la práctica sus ideas teóricas sobre la narración multineal y el contenedor de historias. La originalidad de esta obra parte de la idea de que sus componentes son separables, pero están conjuntados de un modo armónico y complementario para no producir repeticiones redundantes. Las ilustraciones de Sergio García incrustadas en el texto de Antonio Altarriba actúan como un puente entre los dos niveles discursivos asumiendo así una nueva función estructural.
Revisitando Los museos abandonados, crónica simbólica de un mundo en descomposición
Authors: Fariña Busto María Jesús
Published: October 2023

Este artículo se centra en tres de los cuatros relatos reunidos en Los muesos abandonados, libro editado en Montevideo en 1969 y por el que Peri Rossi había obtenido el “Premio de los Jóvenes 1968” de la editorial Arca. “Los juegos”, “Un cuento para Eurídice” y “Los refugios” poseen una unidad temática, estructural y estilística que ya la propia escritora señaló en el momento de su publicación, a lo que se añade una similar carga simbólica. Los tres se desarrollan en el espacio de un museo y los tres giran en torno a una pareja de personajes, uno masculino y otro femenino, que deambulan por las estancias expresando su furor o su melancolía. En cada una de estas parejas destaca el personaje femenino, dos Ariadnas y una Eurídice extraídas de los mitos para dotarlas de una nueva dimensión y que sirvan de vehículo a nuevos significados. A través de este andamiaje narrativo, los relatos apuntan a un mundo en descomposición, que necesita urgentemente reflexionar sobre sí mismo y configurar otras coordenadas culturales y colectivas. El artículo busca dar cuenta de todas estas particularidades, analizando algunos elementos significativos de cada texto poniéndolos en relación con el conjunto y valorando cuestiones relativas al arte, la memoria, la historia, el deseo y la insumisión.
Vivir en la literatura: don y dádiva de Cristina Peri Rossi
Authors: Torras Meri
Published: October 2023

En este artículo, escrito a título de homenaje, se desgrana la autodefinición de Cristina Peri Rossi como una “escritora de la imaginación” para así, mediante el concepto de autoría postulada, asumir la responsabilidad cómplice de imaginarla a ella –la autora–, viviendo en la literatura. Esto tiene lugar través de la lectura de tres relatos: “Tsunami” (2007), un cuento que soporta una lectura autobiográfica; la novela explícitamente autobiográfica titulada La insumisa (2020); y, finalmente, el cuento “Estate violenta” (1980), en apariencia ajeno al yo de la escritora uruguayo-española pero que, como los dos casos anteriores, superpone y conjuga ficciones, entre ellas las de una autora que juega a ser imaginada.

HOABINHIAN IN VIETNAM AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES FROM 20,000 TO 7,000 YEARS BP
Authors: Nguyen Khac Su
Published: October 2023

This article studies the basic economic activities of Hoa Binh cultural inhabitants in the period of 20,000 to 7,000 years BP, including tool making, hunting, gathering, and primitive agriculture. The research results have identified a number of key economic characteristics of Hoa Binh cultural residents and evaluated the effectiveness of human methods of finding and gathering food under the fluctuations of the natural environment during the late Pleistocene to early Holocene in northern Vietnam. Little evidence directly related to cultivation and animal husbandry has been found at Hoa Binh cultural sites, so the issue of Hoa Binh agriculture is still a working hypothesis that needs to be studied further.
