Dengue is a worldwide spread arboviral disease. Huánuco region is an endemic area for dengue. Understanding the influence of Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) in dengue endemic areas can provide important insight for improving public health policies. The purpose of this study was to understand the KAP about dengue in the marginal urban city of Tingo Maria, district of Rupa-Rupa, a rain forest area in Huánuco region and its association with positive serology for dengue. An analytical, retrospective, cross-sectional study was carried out in which a randomized sample of 112 people were evaluated using a semi structured questionnaire and tested for IgG against dengue virus. Most participants recruited were from marginal urban settlements. The median age was 38 years and 64% were female. A bivariate analysis showed an association between educational level and serological positivity. Over 95% of participants with only primary school education had a positive serological test for dengue. No statistical significances were found between attitudes towards dengue control initiatives (p=0.221), preventive practices against dengue (p=0.773), and the level of knowledge about dengue (p=0.073). Although attitudes, preventive practices and level of knowledge were not related to positive serology in dengue cases, educational level showed an association with serological positivity for dengue.

Examining Higher Order Aberration in Eyes after DSEK
Authors: Sami Khan Fareeha , Khalid M.
Published: April 2022

The fundamental idea of this work is to modify Descemet’s Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty DSEK mathematical model by incorporating the Zernike polynomial to examine Higher Order Aberrations (HOA). This model has been developed in a way that can identify the type of aberration occurring after a keratoplasty. Model variables are compared with the data available in already published literature. Surgically induced Higher Order Aberrations (HOA) and change in corneal power are the main outcome measures. Eye illness and their treatments have always been an interesting topic of discussion for researchers. Mechanical and software engineers have managed to helped ophthalmologists by developing advanced machines that can identify the patients’ complaints in seconds. Moreover, several new and advanced surgical procedures have been adopted for eye problems. One amongst them is eye aberration. Only recently has it become possible to detect one type of aberration (Astigmatism & Higher Order Aberrations) with special equipments. However, it is still not easy to identify aberrations as Myopia and Hyperopia. This paper studies the induced eye aberrations caused by DSEK and their detection through a modified DSEK model.

Authors: B. Dhaigude Dnyanoba , N. Bhadgaonka Vidya
Published: April 2022

The paper aims to obtain exact analytical solution of nonlinear nonhomogeneous space-time fractional order partial differential equations in Gas dynamics model, Advection model, Wave model and Klein-Gordon model by improved Adomian decomposition method coupled with fractional Taylor expansion series.The solution of these equations are in series form may have rapid convergence to a closed-form solution. The effectiveness and sharpness of this method is shown by obtaining the exact solution of these equations with suitable initial conditions(ICs). With the help of this method, it is possible to investigate nature of solutions when we vary order of the fractional derivative. Behaviour of the solution of these equations are represented by graphs using MATHEMATICA software.
Curves Lying on Non-lightlike Surface: Differential Equation for Position Vector
Authors: Erdogdu Melek
Published: April 2022

The main purpose of this study is to examine curves lying on a given non-lightlike surface with the help of its position vectors. For this purpose, the darboux frame is used and the position vector of the curve is expressed as a linear combination of the darboux frame with differentiable functions. Then, nonhomogeneous systems of differential equations revealed by the position vector of the curve are obtained for timelike and spacelike surfaces, respectively. For both timelike and spacelike surfaces, the solutions of nonhomogeneous systems of differential equations are obtained depending on the character of the curves and the values kg, kn and tr. The general solutions of the systems of differential equations are obtained separately for each case. Moreover, by considering only the particular solution of the systems of differential equations, new results regarding the differential geometric structure of the curves on the surface are presented with the help of the position vector

espacio expositivo en crisis
Authors: Navarro Hernández Sofía
Published: April 2022

En una hermosa calle del centro de Tlalpan, un barrio en el sur de la Ciudad de México, las grandes ventanas de una casa del siglo XIX se han convertido en vitrinas; no las vitrinas asépticas que podrían venirnos a la mente, tampoco las que nos separan con un vidrio intransigente y silencioso de algún objeto custodiado. Son ventanas abiertas que exhiben arte y es la solución que han encontrado los responsables de la escuela de arte y espacio de exhibición Talleres de Arte Contemporáneo (TACO A.C.) para no perder la conexión con su comunidad. Un umbral entre el espacio de exhibición interno, ahora prohibido, y la calle, a la que, se dice fácil, el arte podría migrar fácilmente, pero ¿en qué condiciones? A estas exposiciones las han llamado vitrinas porque la pandemia obliga a encontrar soluciones extrañas, oximorónicas, como las que llevan el arte al espacio público. Sin embargo, no esperan público por temor a las multitudes. Allí no hay vidrio que separe y los transeúntes se acercan intrigados, interesados o conmovidos; algunos ni siquiera conocían este lugar que, curiosamente, se abre de una nueva forma al haber cerrado. Una noche, la obra es un performance que rompe el umbral: es una bailarina que se aventura por la calle y, bajo el ritmo de un mambo de Pérez Prado, provoca furor entre los presentes.

Mulching (crushing capoeira) is an alternative system for the use of fire for cultivation in the Northern region of Brazil. Cowpea is considered an important food crop in this region; however, weeds might limit its productivity. This study aimed to evaluate the population dynamics of weeds and the productivity of cowpea with different habit of growth inoculated with Bradyrhizobium sp in mulching. The experiment was carried out in randomized blocks with the cultivars BRS Guariba and BR 17 Gurgueia, with and without inoculation of Bradyrhizobium sp and nitrogen fertilization as a control. Twenty-seven species and three genera of weeds were identified, distributed into 12 botanical families in the BRS Guariba cultivar and 25 species in ten families in BR 17 Gurgueia cultivar. The results revealed that the significative species were Vismia guianensis (Aubl.) Pers, Cyperus sp, Scleria melaleuca Rchb. ex Schltdl. & Cham, and Spermacoce verticillata L. Inoculation with Bradyrhizobium sp reduced the infestation of the most important species and presented higher productivity (1965.09 kg ha-1) than the treatment without inoculation (987.14 kg ha-1). The growth habit of cowpea cultivars in mulching (crushing capoeira) system did not affect crop yield, but longer studies are needed to validate the information obtained.

Retrograde intramedullary fixation has been proposed to improve the rate of union providing greater stability in patients with a posterior cruciate ligament retaining femoral TKA component and decreasing soft-tissue trauma. This study assessed the clinical and radiographical outcome of retrograde intramedullary nailing (RIN) for the treatment of periprosthetic supracondylar fractures of the femur in an elderly population.

Between January 2014 and December 2018, 16 patients with PSF underwent RIN.

The clinical outcome was evaluated using the Knee Society Score (KSS) and the Short-form health survey (SF-12). The radiographic outcome was evaluated directly on the X-rays. Complications were also described. 13 patients (11 females and 2 males) with a mean age of 84 years old (range, 77-89) were evaluated clinically and radiographically, after a mean of 48.3 months (range, 24-73 months). The SF-12 scores were similar to normative values for subjects in the comparable age group. Radiographic union was obtained in all patients after an average of 14,8 weeks (range, 12-40 weeks) postoperatively.

RIN is a safe and effective treatment for PSF, above all in the elderly population. The overall clinical and radiographic result was satisfactory.

Published: April 2022

Background: An eggshell is the hard outer covering of an egg that serves to protect it from damage, microbial contamination and desiccation. The major component of the eggshell is calcium carbonate, which provides it with hardness and strength. Calcium carbonate content of eggshells contributes to the overall quality of the egg and eggs are an essential component of human and animal nutrition. Eggshells containing high calcium carbonate can also be processed and used as calcium supplement for bone and teeth health in vulnerable populations. Objectives: This study determined the calcium carbonate content of brown and white chicken eggshells sourced from Lagos markets and the effect of boiling on same. Materials and method: Eggs were sourced randomly from three markets in Lagos metropolis and the shells were washed and dried. The dry shells were pulverized and analyzed for calcium carbonate using the back titration method. Each sample (0.5 g) was reacted with excess 1.0 M HCl and the excess acid titrated with 0.1 M NaOH. The calcium carbonate content of each sample was calculated from the difference between the total number of moles of HCl used and that titrated as excess. Results: The results show that the eggshells studied have high calcium carbonate content and brown eggshells contained higher levels of calcium carbonate (95%) than white eggshells (91%). Boiling did not significantly reduce the calcium carbonate content of both brown and white eggshells. Eggshells from the three markets were similar in their content of calcium carbonate. Conclusion: This study shows that brown eggshells have a higher calcium carbonate content than white eggshells and boiling of eggs does not significantly reduce the calcium carbonate content of the shells.

Authors: Benhayoun Lamiae , Saikouk Tarik
Published: April 2022

With the advent of Industry 4.0, Blockchain is attracting Supply Chain (SC) practitioners and researchers thanks to its decentralized and trustworthy data governance features. As Blockchain adoption in SC is nascent, this article provides a Systematic Literature Review of the critical success factors for this phenomenon to help organizations meet its challenges. 56 selected articles were first thematically analyzed with NVivo to identify and conceptually categorize the factors. Then, we performed a social network analysis under VOSviewer to understand the research trends in our topic and explain the implicit ties between the identified factors. Finally, we inferred further theoretical implications of the analyzed literature in light of the ‘Technology, Organization, Environment’ framework. Hence, this study contributes to academic and practical knowledge by explaining the natures of the interdependent factors for Blockchain adoption in SC and of their potential links. We also propose opportunities for future research to extend our findings.
Warning through Extrapolation: On the Practical Aims of Dystopia
Authors: Thaler Mathias
Published: April 2022

This article contributes to a better understanding of dystopia’s practical aims by offering a critical defense of what Gregory Claeys calls the “Atwood Principle.” Derived from the writings of Canadian author Margaret Atwood, it establishes a yardstick for separating speculative fiction from science fiction. I argue that, rather than elevating it to the status of a genre definer, the Atwood Principle should be vindicated in terms of a heuristic device for contextually identifying the central mechanism underpinning dystopias: warning through extrapolation. The real challenge, then, is how to make sense of the complex functioning of extrapolation. Instead of viewing it in mechanistic terms, my suggestion is to envisage extrapolation as a dynamic process involving both realism and estrangement. I illustrate this through a contrast between two kinds of stories about the current climate emergency: cautionary and post-cautionary tales of the Anthropocene.

Published: April 2022

In the recent times, Thyroid Nodules (TNs) is a generic cancer of the thyroid gland, which impacts close to 20% of the population worldwide and nearly 50% of 60- year-old individuals. The conventional diagnostic method, relying on the expertise of doctors, shows a huge drawback that the diagnosis result very much relies on the individual knowledge and experience of the physician. As a result, efficacy of diagnosis is confined, and it varies with the doctor’s experience.  To combat this limitation, an efficient double screening technique is employed in few health care centers and hospitals by using one more specialist but, this approach is unaffordable and its time complexity is high. The research classified the thyroid nodules employing different image preprocessing techniques.  Utilized histogram equalization for preprocessing in his work. The Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) is deployed for extracting the significant features. The classification is done using ASO, k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Bayesian. It is noticed that the ASO yields improved accuracy compared to KNN and Bayesian techniques.

Premarital screening program is a method that can accurately identify asymptomatic carriers of hemoglobinopathies and provide genetic counselling to couples for a healthy reproductive life. To assess the university students’ knowledge of the premarital screening program. Method: a cross-sectional design using systematic random sample technique for selecting 265 students from the four constituent colleges of the university. Self-administered questionnaire consisted of 3 parts to collect data: students’ demographic data, students’ knowledge about hereditary diseases, and premarital screening program. The study findings revealed that more than half of the students had a positive family history of hereditary diseases. Most of them were aware that premarital screening program reduces the genetic and sexually-transmitted diseases. Around half of them had an average knowledge level about hereditary diseases and premarital screening program. The majority of the participants have an average knowledge level about the premarital screening program. Awareness and educational programs can be organized for university students and the community.

Aim:  Evaluate the marginal integrity and Clinical performance of PEEK endocrowns compared to lithium disilicate (E-Max) ceramic endocrowns. Methodology: Twenty six endocrowns were fabricated for posterior endodontically treated teeth. Patients were divided into two groups according to the material used for fabrication of the restorations; Group 1(control group) received E-Max endocrowns while Group 2 (intervention group) received Bio HPP PEEK endocrowns. The marginal integrity and internal fit were assessed using the silicon replica approach, in which each replica was sectioned into four segments, each with five reference points that were evaluated using a digital microscope at 35X magnification. After final cementation, the clinical performance of the restorations was evaluated according to the USPHS criteria in terms of marginal adaptation, fracture, and retention. These measurements were repeated after three, six, nine and twelve months respectively. Results: The marginal and internal gaps of both groups were within the clinical acceptable range, but E-Max group recorded statistically significant higher internal gap mean value than PEEK group. Regarding the clinical performance all restorations showed 100% alpha and there was no significant difference between both groups for all tested outcomes (Marginal adaptation, fracture, and retention) over one year.
Tender Dropping Efficiency in the Roads and Highways Department of Bangladesh: A Cost and Time Context Comparison of Manual and E-procurement

Published: April 2022

Bangladesh has used a manual tendering system since its inception, following the legislative direction of PPA-2006 and PPR-2008. Manual tendering has long been a source of concern for bidders when dropping tender documents in terms of tension, cost and time. To overcome this problem, the Government of Bangladesh launched the e-Procurement system in 2011 under the e-GP guidelines. Following the successful pilot testing conducted under the umbrella of the CPTU, all public Procurement Entities (PE) are attempting to implement e-procurement tenders. This study aims to test the cost and time involved in tender dropping both manual and e-procurement tenders. Roads and Highways Department (RHD) is chosen as population. Sample data was collected from the 11 RHD zones. Structured survey questionnaires were made to collect primary data from the bidders of RHD. The independent samples t-test was used to perform a hypothesis test of two groups like tender dropping cost and tender dropping time. The test results indicated that e-Procurement tender dropping costs and time were less than manual tendering. Academicians, students, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers will benefit from the study's conclusions.

«Qyz korelik», «Aina-taraq» and «Totynama»: Commonality with Indian plots
Authors:   L. N. Gumilev Eurasian National University, Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, Omarov B.
Published: April 2022

The current research is devoted to study how the plots of the world-wide collection of stories «Totynama» are reflected in the Kazakh and Kyrgyz fairy tales, as well as in our written literature. The author focuses on the origin of the story about three husbands of one girl that is very popular among Indian literary monuments. A number of works of Kazakh poets and writers are based on this story. Among them «Qyz korelik» by T. Zhomartbayev and «Aina-taraq» by Bazar zhyrau Ondasuly, as well as a number of variants of Kazakh fairy tales are considered. In the current paper the author pays special attention to the issue of usage of a well-known Oriental plot as the core of the story or as an element of the work. The idea of the process of transformation of a short story into an artistic creation or the appearance of several parts of the same story in different works is considered. The main thing is that the article contains a lot of information about the origin, sources and ways of development of the Oriental plot. The masterpieces of world literature in which these plots are used as «Totynama» by Ziya ad-Din Nahshabi, «Totynyn angimeleri» (Tota Kakhani) by Saiyd Haidar Bakhsh Haidari, «Tungi zhaukharlar» (Pearls of conversations) (Dzhavakhir al-asmar), «Vetalanyn zhiyrma bes angimesi» by Imad ibn Muhammad an-Naari, «Sindabad-name» by Muhammad az-Zahiri al-Samarkandi as well as a number of versions of «Totynama» that spread in our country and among Chinese Kazakhs are analyzed. In addition, new ideas are expressed about the nature and character of the eastern plot, its spread to the world population, its transformation, and adaptation to the mentality of the nation, its assimilation into a new work, its integration into oral and written literature. The author does not neglect a single difference in the process of changing plots. The specific features of the plot, which are embodied in each work are emphasized as well. It is worth paying attention to such complex details as the emergence of several literary plots from the one plot, the occurrence of often-repeated traditional details, the presence of common patterns in the origin and sequence of the story.
The Work of Genghiz Aitmatov in the context of the literature of postmodernism

The work of C. Aitmatov in the context of the modern phenomenology of perception can be read in a new perspective, since artistic works are perceived ambiguously not only within the framework of a particular literary direction or genre, but from the point of view of a worldview interpretation. An ambiguous reading of Plahi or an earlier novel, And a Day Lasts Longer Than a Century..., allows us to talk about the specifics of the novel genre, where the traditions of the classical novel (the traditions of Russian culture since the 19th century) are equally transposed in combination with the art of postmodernism. Critics for a long time did not recognize Aitmatov the novelist, believing that the novel genre of C. Aitmatov is a single text of independently existing stories presented in the form of insert episodes: legends, myths, crying. Researchers noted the irregularity of the composition, the disparity of the heroes, whose fates, sometimes, do not intersect in the text, exist autonomously. But it is this feature of style and author's handwriting that proves that the work of C. Aitmatov should be evaluated and considered from the height of time, from the point of view of not only realistic direction, but also postmodernism.
