Published: January 2021

The power transfer capability of electric transmission lines are usually limited by large signals ability. Economic factors such as the high cost of long lines and revenue from the delivery of additional power gives strong intensive to explore all economically and technically feasible means of raising the stability limit. On the other hand, the development of effective ways to use transmission systems at their maximum thermal capability. Fast progression in the field of power electronics has already started to influence the power industry. This is one direct out come of the concept of FACTS aspects, which has become feasible due to the improvement realized in power electronic devices in principle the FACTS devices should provide fast control of active and reactive power through a transmission line. The UPFC is a member of the FACTS family with very attractive features. This device can independently control many parameters. This device offers an alternative mean to mitigate transmission system oscillations. It is an important question is the selection of the input signals and the adopted control strategy for this device in order to damp power oscillations in an effective and robust manner. The UPFC parameters can be controlled in order to achieve the maximal desire effect in solving first swing stability problem. This problem appears for bulky power transmission systems with long transmission lines. In this paper a MATLAB Simulink Model is considered with UPFC device to evaluate the performance of Electrical Transmission System of 22 kV and 33kV lines. In the simulation study, the UPFC facilitates the real time control and dynamic compensation of AC transmission system. The dynamic simulation is carried out in conjunction with the N-R power flow solution sequence. The updated voltages at each N-R iterative step are interpreted as dynamic variables. The relevant variables are input to the UPFC controllers.

Authors: KUMAR M. SUDHEER , NAGENDRA N. , MADHUBABU T.
Published: January 2021

In this paper, a novel mixed method is used for reducing the higher order system to lower order system. The denominator polynomials are obtained by the PSO Algorithm and the numerator coefficients are derived by the polynomial method. This method is simple and computer oriented. If the original system is stable then reduced order system is also stable. The proposed method is illustrated with the help of typical numerical examples considered from the literature.
AN EFFICIENT METHOD FOR PAPR REDUCTION IN OFDM SYSTEMS WITH REDUCED COMPLEXITY
Authors: KUMARI PRITANJALI , TRIAR US
Published: January 2021

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), widely used in digital wireless communication, has a major drawback of high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). A reduced complexity partial transmit sequence (PTS) scheme has been proposed to solve high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. In the proposed PTS scheme, a function is generated by summing the power of time domain samples at time ‘n’ in each sub blocks, known as “Hn”.Only those samples, having Hn greater than or equal to a preset threshold value (αT) are used for peak power calculation during the process of selecting a candidate signal with the lowest PAPR for transmission. As compared to conventional PTS scheme, the proposed scheme achieves almost the same PAPR reduction performance with much lower computational complexity.

Published: January 2021

This paper deals with the design of low power low noise neural signal amplifier for Epileptic Seizure Prediction. The advent of Micro-electro Arrays has driven the need for implantable electronic circuitry to detect those Extracellular neural signals (ENG). We proposed a preamplifier of fully differential Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with gm boosting in order to enhance the gain as well as reduce the power consumption. Low frequency high pass function has been realized with anti-parallel Diode connected PMOS. Simulation results shows that the input referred noise is 1.24μVrms from 100Hz to 5 KHz, mid-band voltage gain of 44.6dB, and the power consumption is 18.74μw. A new signal processing circuit has been designed extract the seizure onset. The results are validated using Cadence spectre simulator with 180nm technology. Simulation results show that this implantable amplifier is suitable for Epileptic seizure prediction.

Published: January 2021

In this present work, study of mechanical and optical properties of PP/HDPE/EVA/PLA (80/20/5/4) blend reinforced with nano alumina (Al2O3) particles is investigated. In the production process co-rotating twin screw extruder are utilized. Reinforced films are produced with 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 phr Al2O3 contents .The screw speed of the extruder is maintained at 150 rpm. After post extrusion, cast films are prepared. Mechanical performance analysis are done in order to examine the change in tensile strength, burst strength, tear strength and kinetic coefficient of friction of the polymeric films. Optical properties are performed for obtaining the data of haze and transmittance. The morphology is studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). These results are related to the Al2O3 dispersion, to the type of the different composite formulations with PP/HDPE/EVA/PLA polymer matrix. It has been found that at 0.5 Phr loading of Al2O3 in PP/HDPE/EVA/PLA (80/20/5/4) blend has shown the highest burst and tear strength. On the other hand, the tensile strength shows decreasing order on Al2O3 loading 0.5 to 2 phr. Optical properties such as maximum value of transmittance and haze are also observed as loading of 0.5 Phr of Al2O3 in PP/HDPE/EVA/PLA (80/20/5/4) blend.

Bullous eruptions are rare cutaneous manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus. We report a case of an 8-year old Filipino girl with vesiculobullous systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and membranous lupus nephritis on kidney biopsy who presented with clinical nephrotic features of generalized edema, proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia and hyperlipidemia. The 2012 Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) classification criteria for SLE were met. Immunohistopathologic examination of the skin lesion revealed a sub-epidermal split with neutrophilic infiltrates along the dermo-epidermal junction, moderate perivascular, periadnexal and interstitial infiltrates composed of predominantly neutrophils with neutrophilic dusts, lymphocytes, plasma cells, rare eosinophils and increased dermal mucin. Direct immunofluorescence showed strong continuous linear IgG deposits along the basement membrane and weak linear IgM and IgA deposition along the basement membrane zone (BMZ). To our knowledge, this is the first report of vesiculobullous SLE in a Filipino child. This case is a rare form of cutaneous lupus in children. Bullous SLE (BSLE) should be considered in the differential diagnosis of children presenting with generalized bullous eruptions.

Objectives. This scoping review aimed to support a landscape analysis to identify lessons learned about intersectoral collaborations (ISCs) by describing their existing models in the context of dengue, malaria and yellow fever.

Methods. A scoping review following the methodology of Joanna Briggs Institute was performed using the following inclusion criteria: studies involving humans; studies discussing intersectoral collaborations, malaria/dengue/yellow fever, and prevention or control at any level; and studies in countries endemic for the aforementioned diseases. Studies were screened using Covidence, while data were extracted using NVivo.

Results. Of the 7,535 records retrieved, 69 were included in the qualitative analysis. Most ISCs were initiated by multilateral organizations and ministries of health, and none by communities. Strategies included advocacy, health education, research, public health measures, resource mobilization, service delivery and training; mostly employed on a community level. Monitoring and evaluation were mostly formative, ongoing, and participatory. Gaps included administrative and policy barriers, resource shortages, and inadequate research and training.

Conclusions. Multiple models of ISC exist in the literature. There is a need to develop a comprehensive framework for an effective and sustainable multisectoral approach for the prevention and control of VBDs ensuring adequate resources, active stakeholders, and strategies that span the entire socio-ecological spectrum.

Authors: Mistica Myra S. , Ocampo Virginia R. , De Las Llagas Lilian A. , Bertuso Arlene G. , Alzona Fe D. , Magsino Ester A.
Published: January 2021

Objective. This study assessed the species composition of mosquitoes collected from ovitraps in selected public schools of Metro Manila, Philippines.

Materials and Methods. Ovitraps were installed from November 2013 to February 2014, in purposively selected public elementary and high schools of Metro Manila. Ovitraps were installed inside classrooms and collected weekly and examined for mosquito eggs and larvae. Speciation was done once a month from November 2013 to February 2014. All positive paddles were immersed in water for larval emergence, reared to fourth instars and were identified using taxonomic keys.

Results. A total of 1,482 ovitraps were installed in the selected public schools, and 18,325 larvae were collected from elementary schools, while 16,670 larvae were collected from high schools.The mean ovitrap index or infestation rate was 49.69% during the period of data collection. Mosquito larvae were identified as Aedes aegypti (88.94%) and Aedes albopictus (11.06%). Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus coexisted in some of the examined paddles. No significant differences were observed between the type of school and the presence of Aedes larvae. Significant differences were observed between total number of mosquito larvae and months of collection.

Conclusion. The presence of Aedes mosquitoes in schools evidently shows that continuous vector surveillance in schools is necessary as this information will help in the formulation of proactive vector control activities, thereby preventing the occurrence of mosquito-borne diseases.

Methods. A 6-week randomized, double-blind, active-controlled clinical trial was conducted in three municipalities of Cavite from 2017-2018. The municipalities were randomly assigned to either the control or experimental group, using a commercially available Diclofenac 1% gel as the control agent. Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and Pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to measure the outcomes.

Results. Forty-seven participants completed the study. Statistically significant improvement (p<0.05) in pain relief, reduction of symptoms and increase in knee functionality was reported by participants in both the experimental and control groups. Across the dimensions measured, at least 30% improvement in scores was reported by the experimental group, and at least 40% by the control group. The difference was statistically not significant (p>0.05). Itching (13%), burning sensation (11%) and reddening of the skin (15%) were experienced in both the experimental and the active control groups.

Conclusion. Use of the liniment led to a modest therapeutic effect and was well-tolerated by the participants.

METÁSTASIS CUTÁNEA DE CARCINOMA DIFERENCIADO DE TIROIDES. A PROPÓSITO DE UN CASO.
Authors: Sánchez Urresta Carlos , Palacios Cortes Christian , Jaramillo Calvas Oscar
Published: January 2021

Thyroid cancer (CT) as well as other types of malignant tumors have the ability to invade and infiltrate other tissues both contiguous and distant tissues and organs producing what is known as metastasis (MT). This is a characteristic of the majority of cancerous tumors, and the mechanism by which they are carried out occurs in different ways depending on the histological type of the tumor, as well as its own dissemination characteristics, whether lymphatic, hematogenous, nervous or local invasion.Speaking particularly of thyroid cancer (CT) and being more specific papillary cancer (CPT), it is the malignant histological variant that has the most prevalence and incidence in this gland, in addition it is the thyroid cancer that has the best prognosis and more treatment alternatives due to their slow growth pattern, and due to their low capacity to produce distance metastases (MT) presented in less than 10% of patients with this diagnosis.Despite this low rate of metastatic disease, this pathology has presented a remarkable growth in its prevalence, tripling in the last 30 years, which has also caused an increase in the prevalence of metastatic cases (MT) due to this neoplasia.When there is metastatic disease of papillary thyroid carcinoma (CPT), it is most often located in lymph tissue followed by lung and bone tissue. The spread of this type of cancer to other sites is uncommon, and the skin is even more unusual. For this reason, the case of a 74-year-old female patient is presented, with a history of diagnosis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma undergoing several previous surgical interventions, which presents a dermal lesion at the pre-sternal level, whose post-resection histopathological study was compatible with metastatic skin spread of this type of cancer.

Geospatial Methods for Tree Canopy Assessment: A Case Study of an Urbanized College Campus
Authors: Hwang Won Hoi , Wiseman P. Eric
Published: January 2021

Urban tree canopy (UTC) assessment is essential for understanding the structure and function of urban forests and for devising management strategies. Geospatial techniques are routinely used for UTC assessment, yet their capabilities and limitations may not be apparent to urban forestry practitioners. This paper provides an overview of two primary methods of geospatial UTC assessment: photo interpretation (PI) and computerized image classification (IC). These methods were evaluated through a case study of an urbanized college campus in the eastern United States. The web-based application i-Tree Canopy is a PI method that uses statistical point sampling to estimate land cover. To examine the effect of point sample size on accuracy and certainty of the land cover estimates, we performed independently replicated assessments of our study area at various point sample sizes. We compared these findings with two IC methods: a proprietary analysis using high-spatial-resolution imagery and a low-spatial-resolution analysis using the web-based application i-Tree Landscape. With i-Tree Canopy, the estimate of UTC in our study area stabilized at a mean of 14.7% when point sample size reached 100 points, but it required more than 500 points to reach a tolerable standard error of less than 1.7%. By comparison, high-resolution imagery (considered the most robust form of assessment) estimated UTC in the study area at 16.1%, and i-Tree Landscape substantially underestimated UTC at 11.3%. Possible sources of variation in these estimates, along with practical considerations for choosing an appropriate UTC assessment method, are discussed.

Authors: Melo Pedro Antonio Gomes
Published: January 2021

Este artigo apresenta uma descrição, em uma perspectiva funcionalista, das propriedades sintáticas e dos papéis semânticos da categoria sujeito evidenciados em sentenças escritas por moradores/estudantes estrelenses. Além de estudos bibliográficos, utilizou-se da pesquisa de campo. Foram utilizados os autores basilares Ignácio (2002), Castilho (2010), Neves (1997, 2002, 2011) e Costa (2014). Os resultados evidenciaram que, do ponto de vista sintático, o sujeito pode ser preenchido ou não, em posição anteposta ao verbo, sendo expresso por pronomes ou por sintagma nominal, e ainda de forma elidida. Já do ponto de vista semântico, a função de sujeito expressou os papéis temáticos de agente, beneficiário, experimentador, causativo, origem e objetivo como argumentos de verbos dinâmicos e não dinâmicos.
A TENTATIVA DE MANUTENÇÃO DAS LÍNGUAS DE IMIGRAÇÃO: trajetória da língua alemã pelo CELEM de Marechal Cândido Rondon (PR)
Authors: MARTINY Franciele Maria
Published: January 2021

O propósito deste artigo é traçar o percurso histórico da implantação do Centro de Ensino de Línguas Estrangeiras Modernas (CELEM) com a oferta do ensino e aprendizagem da língua alemã no município de Marechal Cândido Rondon (PR). Trata-se de uma política linguística do Governo do Estado, iniciada na década de 1970, com a finalidade principal de manutenção das línguas de imigração presentes no Paraná. Para tanto, a abordagem teórica está amparada na Sociolinguística com atenção voltada a contextos de minorias linguísticas, a partir de análises documentais e de entrevistas advindas da Tese de Doutoramento, defendida em 2015. Constatou-se que, o ideal previsto, inicialmente, de estimular e facilitar a inclusão dessas línguas nos currículos plenos até hoje não foi concretizado no estado, além disso, o curso de língua alemã, metodologicamente ensinada como língua estrangeira, tem apresentado um alto índice de desistência dos participantes e, assim, não auxiliando na preservação e/ou resgate da língua de imigração da localidade.

Authors: SILVA Sandra Vanessa Versa Kleinhas da , ALVES Lourdes Kaminski
Published: January 2021

As obras brechtianas revelam o esforço em refletir de forma dialética as relações entre a própria obra e a sociedade, sendo intensificadas pelo efeito de distanciamento proposto por ele em seu teatro épico. Neste artigo, objetiva-se refletir sobre o que é o efeito de distanciamento e como ele se apresenta na peça teatral A Ópera dos Três Vinténs (1928), de Brecht. Vale ressaltar que este texto opera na constituição de uma `consciência de minoria`, no qual o personagem funciona como um veículo de comunicação e impulsiona a reflexão crítica do leitor/público/plateia. A reflexão crítica está embasada nos estudos de Brecht sobre o teatro, de Anatol Rosenfeld (1985), de Gerd Alberto Bornheim (1992), de Peter Szondi (2001), de Renato Cohen (2002), de Jean-Pierre Sarrazac (2012), de Hans-Thies Lehmann (2007, 2013), entre outros.

Published: January 2021

A EAD - Educação a Distância - tem conquistado um espaço considerável na pluralidade das áreas, segmentos intelectuais e técnico-profissionais da cibercultura. O presente artigo terá a Análise do Discurso de linha francesa como principal base teórica para empreender uma discussão sobre a tendência do ensino a distância no imbricamento com o sujeito dessa época e suas condições de produção no espaço virtual. A EAD promete permanecer e transformar o que se entende por aprender, incidindo no sujeito atravessado pelo discurso da era digital, ligeiramente afetado pelo modo de ser e agir on-line, ao passo que o ensino a distância propicia uma experiência de autonomia na busca pelo conhecimento, alavancando estratégias comerciais do ramo da educação por desconstruir modelos de ensino vistos até então. O que implica atentar é que a EAD é um caminho sem volta: ou os sujeitos se adaptam a ela, se apropriam dessa atual esfera de captação do saber, ou estarão à margem de uma tendência educacional. Referências:FERREIRA, Maria Cristina Leandro (Orient.).

Objective: To assess prospectively the presence and degree of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after right ventricular (RV) lead placement utilizing 2-dimensional and doppler echocardiography in a group of patients implanted with Permanent pace-maker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).

Study Design: Descriptive cross sectional study.

Place and Duration of Study: Study was conducted at OPD of AFIC/NIHD Rawalpindi from Jan to Jun 2019.

Methodology: One hundred patients after cardiac stimulation system implantation were included in this study. Patients with severe valve disease, heart failure, congenital heart disease, pre-existing pulmonary hypertension and presence of moderate or severe tricuspid regurgitation were excluded. M-mode, 2 –dimensional and doppler echocardiographic studies were performed. Continuous-wave doppler measurements were made from apical four-chamber view in order to obtain maximum tricuspid flow velocities. A complete echocardiographic study was performed following device implantation. Echocardiographic measurements were repeated at 6-months of follow-up period. Those patients who developed tricuspid regurgitation were further assessed by color doppler, taking into account density and contour of the jet on continuous-wave doppler. Tricuspid regurgitation severity was classified into three groups: mild, moderate and severe according to the recommendations for non-invasive evaluation of native valvular regurgitation by the American Society of Echocardiography. The collected data was analysed by using SPSS-23.

Results: Out of 100 patients, 67 (67%) were males and 33(33%) were females with the mean age of 65.29 ± 12.02 years. All the patients had normal chambers dimensions before the procedure. 65 (65%) had leads screwed to RV apex while 35 (35%) had through RV septum. 83 (83%) patients received a dual chamber device, while 17 (17%) patients got single chamber (ventricular) device implanted. Following device implantation after 6 months mild TR was noted in 4 (4%), moderate TR in 4 (4%) and severe TR 2 (2%) in cases.

Conclusion: Tricuspid incompetence following endocardial leads implantation is not rare and occurred in approximately 10% of our patients. This complication may be preventable, because it is likely due to the interference of the endocardial lead with the TV.

Thymic CYSTs of the mediastinum are rare. It has been reported that their incidence is between 1 to 4.8%. They usually present as an asymptomatic mediastinal mass and are mostly found incidentally. This study reports a rare presentation of a mediastinal thymic CYST in a 50-year-old male, whose chronic right sided chest pain prompted him to visit a local hospital where his chest x-ray revealed a large mediastinal mass at the right cardiophrenic angle. His chest CT revealed a large multilocular hypodense cystic lesion that was resected completely by median sternotomy. On Histopathological examination, Hassals corpuscles confirmed the diagnosis of thymic CYST.

After total correction for tetrolgy of fallot (TOF), right ventricle behaves in an unpredictable manner depending on type of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction and surgical expertise of infundibular muscle resection. We are reporting a 23 years old girl who underwent total correction at two years of age. RVOT was reconstructed with native pericardial patch. Gradually she developed breathlessness and occasional chest pain. Echocardiograghy revealed hugely dilated right ventricle (RV) with gross pulmonary regurgitation and RV dysfunction. Cardiac MRI also calculated right ventricular end systolic volume (RVESV) 57 ml/m2 and right ventricular end diatolic volume (RVEDV) 157ml/m2.We decided to implant transcatheter venus p-valve at pulmonary position. The procedure went successful having competent pulmonary valve and improved RV function. Total fluoro time was 36.4 minutes and total procedural time was two hours. This procedure was done first time in Pakistan with optimal results.
