Robust Ultra-Low-Power Algorithm for Normal and Abnormal ECG Signals Based on Compressed Sensing Theory
Authors: Balouchestani Mohammadreza , Raahemifar Kaamran , Krishnan Sridhar
Published: October 2022

The main drawback of current ECG systems is the location-specific nature of the systems due to the use of

fixed/wired applications. That is why there is a critical need to improve the current ECG systems to achieve extended patient's mobility and to cover security handling. With this in mind, Compressed Sensing (CS) procedure and the collaboration of Sensing Matrix Selection (SMS) approach are used to provide a robust ultra-low-power approach for normal and abnormal ECG signals. Our simulation results based on two proposed algorithms illustrate 15% increase in Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and a good level of quality for the degree of incoherence between the random measurement and sparsity matrices. The simulation results also confirm that the Binary Toeplitz Matrix (BTM) provides the best SNR and compression performance with the highest energy efficiency for random sensing matrix.

Temperate-tropical transitions are linked with shifts in the structure of evolutionary integration in Vitaceae leaves
Authors: Parins-Fukuchi C. Tomomi , Stull Gregory , Wen Jun , Beaulieu Jeremy
Published: October 2022

Understanding how the intrinsic ability of populations and species to meet shifting selective demands shapes evolutionary patterns over both short and long timescales is a major question in biology. One major axis of evolutionary flexibility can be measured by phenotypic integration and modularity. The strength, scale, and structure of integration may constrain or catalyze evolution in the face of new selective pressures. We analyze a dataset of seven leaf measurements across Vitaceae to examine whether the structure of macroevolutionary integration is linked to transitions between temperate and tropical habitats by examining how the structure of integration shifts at discrete points along a phylogeny. We also examine these patterns in light of lineage diversification rates to understand how and whether patterns in the evolvability of complex multivariate phenotypes are linked to higher-level macroevolutionary dynamics. We found that shifts in the structure of macroevolutionary integration in leaves coincide with early colonization events into new climates and that lineages that are more climatically labile are more weakly integrated overall. These more evolutionarily flexible lineages also had higher lineage turnover, suggesting a link between shifting vectors of selection, internal constraint, and lineage persistence in the face of changing environments.

vegetaciones salvajes y brujas visionarias: la organicidad como crítica al capitalismo en Cometierra de Dolores Reyes
Authors: Gándara Rodríguez Marcela
Published: October 2022

Dolores Reyes en Cometierra (2019) recrea una de las problemáticas más complejas que viven las sociedades latinoamericanas, el feminicidio. El término, desarrollado primero por Diana Russell y después por Marcela Lagarde, alude a una serie de características que distinguen este tipo de asesinato de un homicidio común, relacionadas con la opresión de género. Sin embargo, es la definición de Rita Segato la que se toma para este trabajo, el feminicidio entendido como un crimen estructural, una consecuencia del sistema capitalista en su fase apocalíptica. En la novela, la violencia responde a la precarización que viven las personajes que habitan las zonas periféricas y se percibe en la imagen de un Estado que no puede articular esfuerzos porque se ampara en el mito del progreso. Capitalismo y patriarcado se vinculan en lo que Rita Segato denomina “la pedagogía de la crueldad”, expresión que nos permite comprender los mecanismos de violencia y que remite a la normalización de la misma en una sociedad carente de empatía. Ante este contexto, Reyes responde con el trazado de imágenes de lo orgánico, presentes en la práctica adivinatoria de la protagonista que consiste en comer tierra: la tierra que restituye una suerte de justicia a través de la voz de las mujeres asesinadas y de los desaparecidos, y en la naturaleza que invade la casa de Cometierra, la joven narradora.

Authors: Ariza Desyani , Kesrianti Andi Maya , Ruslan Tazya Anggraini
Published: October 2022

Recently, a new RNA virus from the Coronaviridae family was discovered, known as SARS-Cov-2. This virus causes pneumonia and inflammation in the body. One of the laboratory tests used to see inflammation in the body is the Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio, or often abbreviated as NLR. NLR is one of the markers of inflammation that can be used simply, efficiently, and reliably because of its high stability and sensitivity. Higher NLR values tend to lead to a severe and poor prognosis, so this test can be done by monitoring patients with confirmed Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The purpose of this study was to determine the neutrophil lymphocyte’s ratio in COVID-19 patients receiving convalescent plasma therapy. This research method is a quantitative observation using a descriptive approach. Quantitative observational research is used to analyze data in the form of numbers from the results of laboratory tests. The results obtained from 17 research subjects, namely the NLR values before convalescent plasma therapy were obtained in as many as 6 patients (35%) with normal NLR values below 3.13 and NLR values are increasing above 3.13 in as many as 11 patients (65%). Meanwhile, after convalescent plasma therapy, there were 8 patients (47%) with normal NLR below 3.13 and NLR values increasing above 3.13 as many as 9 patients (53%). This research concerns about changes in NLR values before and after convalescent plasma therapy, which before convalescent plasma therapy there were 6 patients with normal NLR values and after convalescent plasma therapy increased to 8 patients with normal NLR values which indicate a better good prognosis.

Published: October 2022

Kidney failure is caused by a permanent decline in kidney function and requires renal replacement therapy, one of which is Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD). This study aimed to determine the relationship between albumin concentrations and sodium and potassium concentrations in CAPD patients. The study was carried out between January to May 2022. Cross-sectional research methodology is used in this study. It included 60 chronic kidney failure patients who had CAPD as therapy at PHC Surabaya Hospital. Then, patients were divided into three groups with an age interval of 40-50 years, 51-60 years, and 61-70 years in. The results of grouping CAPD patients according to the characteristics based on the age of CAPD patients aged 61-70 years had low albumin concentrations and low sodium concentrations A total of 12 people (66.67%), patients with large CAPD aged 51-60 years, had low albumin and potassium concentrations, namely 11 people (61.11%). CAPD patients aged 51-60 years mostly had low albumin and sodium concentrations in 13 people (72.22%). the conclusion is that in patients with renal failure on CAPD therapy, there is a decrease in albumin and sodium-potassium concentrations due to peritonitis (inflammation) which is associated with a measurable excess of fluid (overhydration) which causes more dilute sodium, causing hyponatremia and hypokalemia.
On the earliest evidence of the middle Dnipro area non-flint rocks use
Authors: Nikitenko I. S , Stepanchuk V. N , Ganotskiy V. I
Published: October 2022

Purpose. To determine the rock composition and origin of raw materials of non-flint stone products found during the study on the Mira Upper Palaeolithic archaeological site in the Middle Dnipro area. Methodology. The research on the artefacts was carried out using the mineralogical and petrographic methods. The rocks were studied in transparent thin sections using a polarized microscope. To verify the accuracy of the petrographic analysis of some specimens, the XRD and XRF methods were applied. Establishing the provenance of the rocks was performed using comparative mineralogical and petrographic analysis, for which the specimens of samples from the outcrops were used, as well as geological survey and literary data. Findings. To conduct petrographic research, seven specimens of stones with traces of processing, found during archaeological excavations of the Upper Palaeolithic Mira site, were taken. As a result of the petrographic analysis, it was established that the stones with traces of processing are represented by the aplitoid two-feldspar granites, altered dolerite, quartz arenite, quartz rock, amphibolite and actinolitite. All the mentioned rocks are typical for the Middle Dnipro area. The specimens of the granites, dolerite, and arenite, by their petrographic features, have analogues among the rocks of the region and, more likely, are of the local provenance. Most likely, a quartz sample comes from the territory of the Ukrainian Shield. The types of amphibolite and actinolitite, which are analogues to the studied artefacts by their petrographic and chemical features, do not occur today among the rocks that form natural outcrops in the Middle Dnipro area. Thus, the specimens of the amphibolite and actinolitite may have both local and other origin. More accurate determination of the provenance of the amphibolite and actinolitite samples requires further study involving sample collections from other regions, wherefrom these rocks could have been carried. Originality. For the first time, the Upper Palaeolithic Mira archaeological site stone artefacts were studied in thin sections and with the application of XRD and XRF analyses, which made it possible to make more precise findings on their petrographic properties and origin. The studied samples are of great importance because, today, they are the earliest non-flint stone artefacts from the Middle Dnipro area to be studied by means of petrography, particularly those made from crystalline rocks of the Ukrainian Shield. Practical value. The results obtained can be used in performing studies on archaeology and the history of mining, as well as in popular science works.

Published: October 2022

Purpose. Valorization of phosphate waste and diversification of the range of bricks by improving their mechanical properties. In this context, our work focused on the use of phosphate wastes from Djebel Onk (Tebessa) combined with clays from the Sidi Aich region (Bejaia) to manufacture a new variety of brick. The principle consists in varying the percentage of these wastes and the firing temperature. Methodology. After mechanical preparation in the laboratory, which consists of crushing, grinding and sieving operations, the two materials of phosphate and clays are characterized by several analysis techniques (XRD, IR and XRF). The brick manufacturing tests from these two materials were carried out for different weight percentages and for different firing temperatures. Findings. The combination of these two materials constitutes a new approach to the recovery of natural phosphates, which has a very high waste rate. Tests of making bricks from these two materials have yielded promising results. From a mechanical point of view, the best flexural strengths obtained at a temperature of 900 C vary from 3 to 5 MPa depending on the type of phosphate/clay mixture. The same goes for the compressive strength, which varies from 15 to 27 MPa depending on the type of mixture as well. These results conform to ASTM-C674, 1999 construction standards. Originality. The use of natural phosphate wastes from Djebel Onk in various proportions has resulted in a quality of brick that meets the international standards. Practical value. The mechanical properties of the brick made from these two materials, such as resistance to bending and compression constitutes a real significant recovery for the phosphate wastes from Djebel Onk.

Published: October 2022

Purpose. To substantiate the improvement of the load-bearing element of the wagon-platform for the possibility of transporting bulk cargoes. Methodology. In order to be able to transport bulk cargo on the wagon-platform, it is proposed to install a composite boiler module on it. In order to determine the dynamic load of the improved load-bearing structure of the wagon-platform, mathematical modeling was performed. The mathematical model formed by professor Bohomaz H.I. was used. However, within the framework of the research this model was refined to determine the load of the wagon-platform of the proposed design. The solution of the system of differential equations is carried out in the MathCad software package. To do this, the mathematical model was reduced to the normal Cauchy form, and then integrated by the Runge-Kutta method. The obtained acceleration is taken into account when calculating the strength of the advanced load-bearing structure of the wagon-platform. The calculation is performed in the SolidWorks Simulation software package, which implements the finite element method. Also, within the research the modal analysis of a load-bearing structure of the wagon-platform is carried out. Findings. Based on the calculations, it is established that the acceleration acting on the load-bearing structure of the wagon-platform car is 0.38 g, i.e. it is within acceptable limits. The results of the calculation of the strength of the improved design of the wagon-platform showed that the maximum equivalent stresses occur in the area of interaction of the spine beam frame with the pivot and is about 340 MPa, the maximum displacement made 8.6 mm. That is, the obtained stresses do not exceed the yield strength of the structural material. The results of the modal analysis showed that the values of the natural frequencies of oscillations are within acceptable limits, because the first natural frequency has a value greater than 8 Hz. Originality. The scientific substantiation of improvement of a load-bearing structure of a universal wagon-platform to transportations of bulk cargoes is carried out. Practical value. The conducted research will promote increase in efficiency of operation of railway transport and creation of developments concerning planning of innovative designs of a rolling stock.

Published: October 2022

Purpose. To experimentally determine the combustion temperature of a lithium-ion battery (LIB) due to mechanical damage to its case by a sharp object. At the same time, to determine the cooling-down time of the lithium-ion battery after combustion and the further mathematical description of this process. Methodology. To achieve the set goal, a laboratory bench with the appropriate measuring equipment was prepared. For mathematical modelling of the cooling process, experimental values and methods for studying heat transfer processes in solid multilayer cylindrical structures were applied. Findings. Experimental studies showed that the maximum temperature on the lithium-ion battery case reached 715 C. In turn, the average values showed a temperature of 665 . The average cooling time to a temperature of 50 C was at least 17 minutes. Mass loss studies showed that after combustion are complete, all elements lose about 53% of their original mass. Originality. The combustion temperature and cooling-down time of Panasonic NCR18650B (LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2) LIB specifically have been determined for the first time. In parallel with experimental studies, mathematical modelling of the cooling process of the LIB was carried out using the theory of heat transfer. It was found that the results of the mathematical modelling correlate well with the experimental values. This approach allows, in the future, carrying out analytical studies on LIB without the need (where possible) to conduct experiments. Practical value. Further implementation and application of the obtained mathematical model will make it possible to determine the cooling time, the possibility of heating other (adjacent) LIB to a critical temperature, the possibility of ignition from overload, various LIB using only geometric parameters without the need for experimental research. Determining the cooling time of the LIB after combustion is a valuable indicator since it allows one to practically estimate the time during the LIB remains a potential source of danger.

В дослідженні теоретично обґрунтовано валідність та надійність методів вимірювання метричних онлайн індикаторів професійної компетентності як відсотків від норм часу дій у команді проєкту. Запропоновано алгоритм розрахунку індексів як арифметичної суми індикаторів професійної компетентності з урахуванням їх ваги, визначеної експертами для будівельників. Статистично підтверджена узгодженість експертних висновків щодо ваги цих індикаторів, що підтверджує їх очевидну валідність. Це надає можливість рекрутерам визначати та узгоджувати ваги індикаторів для розрахунку відповідних індексів. Показано, що цими онлайн індикаторами можуть бути відсотки від норм часу відповідних дій у проєктній команді, а саме: знань – часу їх пошуку при виконанні завдань; умінь – часу виконання завдань; інтелектуальних здатностей – часу освоєння конкретного виду діяльності, виконання нових завдань та генерування ідей; комунікативних здатностей – часу взаємодії в команді, помноженої на оцінку її ефективності членами команди; професійно важливих якостей, а саме: відповідальності – дотримання графіку часу дій; самостійності – часу отримання допомоги; чуйності – часу виконання побажань замовника чи членів команди; організованості – часу виправлення недоліків; ініціативності – часу втілення прийнятих командою ідей; спрямованості – часу витраченого (на себе – допомоги членів команди, на справу – виконання завдань у команді, на загал – допомоги членам команди). Доведено можливість отримання відповідних онлайн індикаторів та індексів професійної компетентності із застосуванням інформаційно-комунікативних технологій (програм класу CRM, ERP і хмарних сервісів). Практичне значення результатів дослідження полягає в забезпеченні можливості онлайн метричного вимірювання професійної компетентності фахівців, студентів та учнів задля створення їх е-портфоліо, для цілеспрямованого управління процесом її формування та розвитку, для ефективного онлайн рекрутингу та стимулювання безперервного розвитку професійної компетентності.

Whole-person education is what many educational institutions aim for, especially in these times of rapid technological innovations. Silliman University, one of the oldest universities in the Philippines, offers whole-person education to achieve total human development. This study is an innovative technology integration in the classroom of the course “whole-person education”. Specifically, this paper describes the development of a mobile game application that integrates augmented reality. Applying the gamification theory, a learning trail about the 5Cs of Silliman Education - Classroom, Church, Culture, Court, and the Community, was integrated. The learning trail consists of three learning paths, and each path consists of ten checkpoints. Three qualifying questions were embedded to determine the player’s learning path. Each checkpoint is augmented using QR codes. Players need to complete the game in the shortest possible time. The educational game mobile application was developed using Appery.io, a rapid development, integration, and deployment platform. The mobile application runs on the Android operating system as part of the first release. A survey was conducted among 244 players of the game application. A 4-point scale questionnaire is integrated into the game app, asking the players about their level of agreement with the statements representing their game evaluation. The result shows that the game application was evaluated positively by the respondents, with a mean of 3.69. Expressly, the players agreed (  = 3.69) that they learned a lot about the AR trail. The students also agreed (  = 3.35) to the statement, “I would like my teachers to integrate apps like this in my classes.” The result implies that augmented reality and gamification as teaching strategies in the classroom are perceived positively and accepted by the students. The educational game promotes the understanding of whole-person education especially in a developing country where digital divide is a pressing issue.

Introduction: Our dilemma as mental health professionals was; what do our patients prefer - tele psychiatric or face-to-face consultations?. Materials and Methods: In two-month period (July 15th through September 15th, 2021) all patients that have had their consultations at our Clinic were offered to choose between face-to-face and tele psychiatric consultation. At the same time, they were asked why they choose that particular form of consultation. Results: Total number of patients (2.053) 1339 chose face-to-face consultation, 714 chose tele-psychiatric consultation. Discussion: Many doctors and patients alike still like a “personal touch” but not all procedures should be performed face to face, especially during COVID-19 pandemics, in cases when patients just can’t get in to see their doctors in- erson, and for many cases that don’t require a physical exam (e.g. renewing of prescriptions of chronic patients), telemedicine can be a good alternative. Conclusions: Tele-medicine (particularly tele psychiatry) is here to stay. The only dilemma now is: what are the future ways to enhance tele psychiatry for use in different cultural and technological environments, so patients would choose tele-psychiatric consultation more often.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (abbreviated “COVID-19”) is an emerging respiratory disease that is caused by a novel coronavirus and was first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The rapid spread of the disease created challenges for healthcare systems and forced healthcare workers to grapple with clinical and nonclinical stressors, including shortages of personal protective equipment, mortality and morbidity associated with COVID-19, fear of bringing the virus home to family members, and the reality of losing colleagues to the disease. Objective: This study was cried out to find-out the perceived anxiety, depression, stress as well as their associated factors among healthcare workers in COVID-19 health facilities in Mogadishu Somalia. Methods: The study was cross-sectional, descriptive analysis involving all healthcare workers in COVID-19 health facilities in Mogadishu Somalia namely Demartino hospital, Benadir hospital and Dr Summait hospital. The calculated sample size was 168 using slovin formula since the target population was known from the staff registration book, candidates were selected through systematic random sampling from each hospital in accordance with their proportion in the total population. Results: Anxiety was perceived mostly among respondents since only 30.7% were in normal level however only 10.7% had sever anxiety while stress was perceived the least since only 84.8% of participants were normal. Female participants were much more likely to have anxiety and stress, working department was also related with level of perceived anxiety, depression or stress; participants working at ICU and emergency were the most to have anxiety or stress compared to others. Conclusion: Perceived anxiety was the highest while only 1.1% of respondents had severe stress. Female gender as well as working departments was signifactly associated with the level of Anxiety and stress while average income, motivation and living condition was associated with depression.

Background: Chronic abdominal pain is a common problem in childhood.Purpose: Due to the prevalence of functional abdominal pain (FAP) and the importance of probiotics, this study aimed to compare the ability of 2 probiotics to reduce and improve FAP in children.Methods: This open-label randomized clinical trial included 116 children aged 5–15 years with FAPP who met the ROME-4 criteria and were referred to the gastrointestinal clinic of Amir-Kabir Hospital in Arak in 2020–2021. The children were randomly allocated to receive polymicrobial probiotic (PMP group) or mono-strain probiotic (MSP group) once daily for 4 weeks. The standard Wong-Baker Faces scale was used to assess symptom severity.Results: Of the 116 subjects, 62 (53.5%) were boys; the mean participant age was 7.39 years (standard deviation, 3.4 years). A significant intergroup difference (P=0.003) was observed in pain severity; 10.34% of children in the PMP group had no pain, while all patients in the MSP group reported low-degree pain. There was no intergroup difference in mean pain score (P=0.466), but it decreased over time in both groups (P= 0.001).Conclusion: Although significantly more children were painless in the PMP versus MSP group, no significant intergroup difference in pain score was noted and symptom severity decreased in both groups. A future study with a placebo group is recommended to validate our findings.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of depressive symptoms on quality of life of healthcare staff working in intensive care units during the COVID-19 process. This study was designed as descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational. It was carried out with the participation of 133 healthcare professionals between November and December 2020. The data were collected by face-to-face interviews with the participants in average of 10-15 minutes. Personal Information Form, Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI), and Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL R-IV) were used for data collection. Kurtosis, Skewness and Shapiro-Wilk, Student's t, ANOVA tests were used for data analysis. Pearson correlation and regression analysis were performed. Depressive symptoms and low quality of life were detected in healthcare workers working in the Covid-19 pandemic. It was seen that women's ProQOL R-IV total scores were higher than men's and BDI total score averages of associate degree health workers were significantly higher than those of health workers with undergraduate or graduate degrees. It was determined that 39.1% of the participants were considering resigning during the pandemic process. It has been determined that those who do their job reluctantly have higher BDI total scores than those who do it fondly. In addition, it was determined that those who do their job fondly have higher ProQOL R-IV total scores than those who do it reluctantly. It was observed that the total BDI scores of the participants whose family members were diagnosed with COVID-19 were higher than those who did not and those who thought about resigning during the pandemic process were higher than those who did not. As a result, it is thought that the effective and high quality of health services is directly related to the physical and mental well-being of health workers throughout the pandemic process. It is thought that it is extremely important to identify mental disorders that may occur in healthcare workers due to the difficulties brought by the pandemic process at an early stage and to stop their progression.
