Four Footbridges on the Eibar-Maltzaga Cycle Path
Authors: Romo José , Prieto Francisco , Martín María
Published: August 2022

The cycle path from Eibar to Maltzaga runs through a very complex area as the N634 road and a railway line run parallel to the river Ego and at the same level as the cycle path. Also at a considerable height is the AP-8 motorway, which was also built over the river. The new cycle and pedestrian path has to cross the river Ego three times under the motorway. Two of the footbridges are structures of moderate span (16.50 and 30.35 m) while the third footbridge has a span of about 80m, The fourth footbridge crosses the river Deva with a single span in a somewhat clearer area. The two short-span footbridges are structurally very straightforward. The deck is simply supported by two longitudinal weathering steel girders. The two structures with the largest spans are also simply supported. Their structural concept is a "lightened" beam and not an arch as might be inferred from their image. Its proportions are those of a variable depth beam with a maximum value at the centre of the span. The four footbridges as a whole respond to the initial idea of cost-effective and low- maintenance construction, taking into account the complexity of the location and the desire to make the work visually pleasing.

An apartment is a place to live in a building, equipped with various facilities, and is a public area inhabited by hundreds or even thousands of people. The security system in the apartment is not comfortable and safe, because of the condition of the apartment area that can be accessed by anyone as a fellow occupant (one area but in a different building). Based on the observations that have been made, one solution that can be done is to limit access to the apartment building. This access restriction can be done by dividing the entrance and adding boom barriers in each lane. The method used is a design method based on the results of observations. The design of this system considers the number of lanes, vehicle speed, and distance traveled. The speed used is in the range of 5 km/h and 20 km/h with a maximum distance of 27,081 m and a minimum distance of 9.998 m. The fastest travel time obtained is 1.799 s with a speed of 20 km/h and the slowest is 19.497 s with a speed of 5 km/h.

The car door is one of the important components in a car, as a means of getting in and out of passengers and goods. This study aims to compare the factors of safety, strength, shear stress, and dimensional changes due to the received load, between car doors made of bamboo composite material and car doors made of aluminum. The research method is carried out in the form of simulating the load on the car door using Fusion Autodesk 360 software. The data used in this study is secondary data obtained from data analysis from journal articles related to bamboo and aluminum fiber composite materials. Strength simulation using loads of 100 N, 150 N, and 200 N refers to the strength simulation reference. Based on the simulation results, it can be concluded that the car door made of bamboo composite has good yield strength, safety factor, and shear strength and has the potential to be an alternative material to replace aluminum car doors, especially at low loads. The results of modeling using software with the above load, the safety factor values are in the range (10-15) and the displacement is in the range (3-4) mm. The results of this simulation become one of the references in further research and development.

Authors: Juniar Kevin , Darmawan Steven
Published: August 2022

Calibration is needed to ensure that the measuring instrument works according to existing standards. The ability to calibrate measuring instruments is very necessary in the engineering world, especially calibration of temperature measuring instruments due to the importance of measuring temperature in the field of mechanical engineering. The purpose of this practical work report is to operate the Armfield TH1-Temperature Measurement and Calibration tool properly, investigate the thermometric properties of various temperature measuring instruments, also determine the response received by the device to changes in temperature. In testing the thermometric properties, using PT100 REF as a reference for other temperature measuring instruments. Thermistor Reading is the most accurate because it has the smallest difference with the PT100 REF compared to other measuring instruments. Thermistor Reading produces an average temperature difference of 0.036°C compared to PT100 REF. In testing the response of temperature sensors, the response given by the thermocouple temperature gauge is quite good both in the water bath and in the flask. When the thermocouple was transferred to the flask quickly, the temperature only ranged from 2.38°C to 4.05°C with a temperature change of 1.67°C, which means that the temperature measurement is quite stable when in the flask.
Hybridizing Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Optimizing Edge-Detector Techniques
Authors: M. Almufti Saman
Published: August 2022

Ant colony optimization is a swarm intelligent algorithm that mimics the ant behaviors to optimize solutions for hard optimization problems. Over years Ant-based algorithms have been used in solving different problems including: Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), Wireless Sensors Network (WSN), Benchmark Problem, and it has been used in various image processing applications. In the image processing fields various techniques have been used to detect edges in a digital image such as Canny and Sobel edge detectors.  This Study, proposed a hybridized Ant Colony Optimization algorithm for optimizing the edge detector quality. The proposed method initializes its attribute matrix and the information at each pixel routed by ants on the input image.  Experimental results show the results of the proposed algorithm and compare the results with the original built-in MATLAB edge detection method called Canny and the results of basic Aco edge detector. All three algorithms tested in different images and the MSE and PNSR are calculated before and after applying Gaussian noise. Based on the Experimental results obtained by the three used methods (Canny Edge Detector, Ant Colony Optimization, and Hybrid Aco-Canny), the proposed Hybrid ACO-CANNY methods was the best method for detecting edges.

El presente artículo reflexivo explora cómo en los procesos de hibridación, las artes contemporáneas han logrado sortear con éxito los retos planteados en la inter y la pluridisciplinariedad. Pero al ensayar diálogos con disciplinas diferentes a las creativas, el lugar común del “hoy en día cualquier cosa es obra de arte” les ha planteado un reto que aún no tiene clara solución. Una revisión histórica y conceptual permite observar cómo estas estrategias no son tan recientes como se anuncia y que, aunque pareciera lo contrario, aún existen límites para la obra de arte que es necesario atender.
Mirror-touch synesthesia in schizophrenia, a pathological condition?
Authors: Weber César Augusto Trinta , Juruena Mario Francisco Pereira
Published: August 2022

Introduction: The mirror-touch synesthesia is a condition where a touch perception in another person's body induces the person who is observed to feel being touched in the same way. Case report: A single 22-year-old man came to the medical appointment in a private psychiatric clinic. Since his adolescence, he refers to auditive hallucinations, pseudo-hallucinations, frequent persecutory delusions, sonorization and insertion of the thought, and synesthesia. Among them it was reported mirror-touch synesthesia, anhedonia, and abulia. The criteria for paranoid schizophrenia were achieved during the examination. Discussion: Some evidence suggests that schizotypy may be associated with mirror-touch synesthesia. Conclusion: Scientific articles that demonstrate mirror-touch synesthesia as a part of pathology were not found.

Se analizó el comportamiento e influencia de las plantas y microorganismos en el diseño de humedales artificiales de flujo subsuperficial. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una metodología mixta, donde se combinaron enfoques de investigación cualitativa y cuantitativa, en esta se realizó una revisión bibliográfica acerca de los humedales artificiales de flujo subsuperficial; además se llevó a cabo toma de muestras de agua y suelo en dos puntos del humedal, para realizar análisis microbiológicos y fisicoquímicos se tuvieron en cuenta sus componentes y funcionamiento. A partir de aquí se observó que las plantas Phragmites australis (Carrizo) y Cyperus (Juncos) presentan buen rendimiento en cuanto a la remoción de SST, DBO, DQO, CF. En general se registró que el tiempo de retención optimo es de 5 días para los diferentes análisis: DBO, DQO, Fósforo, Nitrógeno, SS. En cuanto a los microbiológicos se obtuvo para Coliformes totales en la muestra de entrada de agua 23 x10 NMP/100 ml y en la salida del agua de 31,00 NMP/100 ml, lo que indica una reducción muy favorable. Se concluyó que tanto la vegetación, como los microorganismos presentes (bacterias) son imprescindibles en el proceso de depuración de los humedales artificiales, ya que proporcionan mayor cantidad de oxígeno al humedal y así se favorecen los procesos de amonificación, nitrificación por parte de bacterias y la disminución en el número de Coliformes.

Perceptions and usage of masks among dental professionals – The impact of COVID
Authors: Ameena N. B. , Ramanarayanan Subramaniam , Kuruvilla Suneesh , Latti Pooja
Published: August 2022

Objectives:

As per the World Health Organization, the usage of mouth masks, hand washing, and social distancing as a part of a comprehensive package were the primary non-pharmacological methods that were effectively used as early prevention and control strategies against COVID-19. The habitual use of medical masks/mouth masks by dentists plays a significant role in reducing the occupational inhalation of aerosols, saliva, microorganisms, blood, tooth particles, restorative materials, etc., from the patient’s mouth/airway. The study was conducted to assess the influence of the pandemic on perceptions and usage of masks among dentists.

Materials and Methods:

The study was a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey conducted online. The target population was dental practitioners, dental house surgeons, postgraduate students, and teaching faculty in Ernakulam district of Kerala, India. The questionnaire was divided into two parts. The first part consisted of questions on professional data – designation, type of practice, and experience. The second part consisted of 18 questions to assess the perception and usage of masks.

Results:

The final sample size was 207. About 40% of the respondents (n = 81) were faculty/practitioners. The rest were house surgeons/postgraduate students. Over 60% of the respondents had treated patients during the pandemic. About 57% reported having done aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs). Over 93% of them reported that the pandemic has changed the preference for masks for non-AGP. Over 91% followed the recommended guideline for mask disposal. Over 96% of the study participants agreed that the pandemic has increased their awareness regarding the use of masks. About 76% felt that dentists were better protected against COVID infection due to the habitual wearing of masks as a part of their profession. About 86% felt that the change in mask practices will continue after the pandemic.

Conclusion:

The perceptions and knowledge regarding the usage, selection, and disposal of masks among the population studied have improved following the COVID-19 pandemic. Considering dental professionals as a cohort involved in regular usage of masks for decades, better knowledge and practice related to the use of masks is warranted.
Cauda equina syndrome a rare early surgical complication in a pediatric patient with dysplastic high-grade lumbosacral spondylolisthesis: A case report
Authors: Alzakri Abdulmajeed A.
Published: August 2022

Recent literature supports the surgical reduction of high-grade spondylolisthesis, particularly with an unbalanced pelvis and spine. Drop foot is the most common neurological complication reported in the literature. Scoliosis Research Society database reported only one patient (child) with cauda equina syndrome after surgery for dysplastic high-grade lumbosacral spondylolisthesis. The lack of longitudinal clinical follow-up of that patient limited their result. There is another report of 12 cauda equina syndrome cases after in situ arthrodesis for lumbosacral spondylolisthesis. The current report is the first case in the literature of cauda equina syndrome after partial reduction of dysplastic high-grade lumbosacral spondylolisthesis in a child. The aim was to raise awareness of the possibility of this post-operative complication happening in children and the possibility of avoiding it. A child who developed a cauda equina syndrome as an early neurological complication after surgery, which recovered completely 6 weeks after revision surgery, is reported. During the revision surgery, an L5-S1 transforaminal interbody fusion was performed by insertion of polyetheretherketone cage. Bilateral anal compound muscle action potential is seen after implant removal and sacral dome resection. Using somatosensory, motor evoked potential and continuous electromyogram for both rectal and external bladder sphincters in children with high-grade lumbosacral dysplastic spondylolisthesis undergoing surgical reduction are important to prevent a devastating neurological complication. Sacral dome resection and appropriate L5-S1 discectomy prevent stretching of the cauda equina over the posterosuperior border of the sacrum postoperatively.
On the quarter-millennial anniversary of the Madras General Hospital
Authors: RAMAN RAMYA , RAMAN ANANTANARAYANAN
Published: August 2022

The General Hospital (GH) of Madras (presently Chennai) grew out of a hospital intended for the personnel attached to the Madras army—a Military Hospital (MH)—established within the Fort St George in 1664. Although the GH grew out of this MH, its relocation at its presentPériamét(then known asNarimédu, Hog’s Hill) site in 1772, bearing the name ‘General Hospital’ marks its 250th anniversary in 2022. From being MH that serviced the ‘white’ residents of Madras, it opened to locals in 1899. In 2011, it was renamed as the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital. Today, it has grown into a stunning medical facility in India treating about 12 000 patients a day. We chronicle the growth of the MH into the GH. Notable that the first formally conducted medical forensic examination in the whole of India occurred in this facility in August 1693, when this institution was MH. Surgeon Samuel Browne’s erroneous dispensation of a medication resulted in the death of James Wheeler, a prominent English-East India Company (EEIC) civil servant in Madras. Following an order to execute an investigation by the Governor, Fort St George, an autopsy of the body of Wheeler was carried out by Surgeon Edward Bulkley. Further to referring to such landmark historical details of early time segments of the MH and GH, we briefly refer to the remarkable medical work of Charles Donovan, William Niblock and Mysore Ramaswami Guruswami Mudaliar, who worked at the GH in the early decades of the 20th century.

Quantum circuit learning as a potential algorithm to predict experimental chemical properties
Authors: Hatakeyama-Sato Kan , Igarashi Yasuhiko , Kashikawa Takahiro , Kimura Koichi , Oyaizu Kenichi
Published: August 2022

We introduce quantum circuit learning (QCL) as an emerging regression algorithm for chemo- and materials-informatics. The supervised model, functioning on the rule of quantum mechanics, can process linear and smooth non-linear functions from small datasets (< 100 records). Compared with conventional algorithms, such as random forest, support vector machine, and linear regressions, the QCL can offer better predictions with some one-dimensional functions and experimental chemical databases. QCL will potentially help the virtual exploration of new molecules and materials more efficiently through its superior prediction performances.

The importance of water sustainability has long been recognized across the globe and it is considered as one of the most important commodities that is very essential in all of humanity’s basic functions. In the Philippines or like most in the other nations, in order to control the water supply, most of them relies on reading the water-metering system manually. Wherein this kind of processes is very time consuming and locating where the possible leakage is hard to identify. Due to these reasons, the proponent of this study comes up with an idea to create a solution with these problems. One of the objectives is to develop An Automated Water Consumption Management System with Water Leak Detection Using Mobile Application wherein it can monitor the rate of water-flow in real time basis; can calculate the amount of water consumes; and notify the end user if water leakage exists. These capabilities help the end-user to prevent the high consumption of water due to water leakage and unnecessary use of water. In addition, this study focuses also on controlling the said device (waterflow sensor) manually when a particular leakage exists, and the special features added to the application is that it can send an alert or notification message to the end-user. In terms of design of the project development, the proponents rely on the use of Agile Methodology in order to identify and solve the common problems that will exist on the phase of developing this study.

Published: August 2022

This paper describes the design of an Online Management Information System using a website connected to a portal with the adaptation of an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Technology for Philippine Accounting Firm. The company often handles manual written and printed forms for preserving customer profiles and records of clients' registration required to various government agencies entities such as BIR, SSS, Philhealth and Pag-ibig Forms which were manually kept in the storage upon registration and if needed for data gathering or update, documents were retrieved in the storage manually by the employee since there is no software application developed yet to track the records easily for adding, updating and monitoring each client’s details. This proposed system composed of two parts: a website and a portal where the website will be deployed in the World Wide Web with a unique domain and server which the clients can view and contact for the firm’s services and a connected external link to access the portal’s main system accessed by the firm’s employees (upon registration and approval for signing in) only. The portal has two ways to manage the client’s record using manual keying or adapting the OCR Technology using a scanner as an input device to scan the forms and convert directly to text input in the portal without inputting manually and individually for easy data storage and update. This system provides an accurate, complete monitoring and online management portal recording system with the adaptation of OCR Technology, eliminates the time spent for manual adding, updating and retrieval of client’s records, and tracks the records easily using its enhanced system to easily add, update and monitor each client’s details. This system will also serve as a draft or a starting point for the OCR Technology for application on accounting businesses and benefit other researchers who wish to have similar studies related to OCR Technology.

The “AUTOMATIC RAILWAY GATE CONTROL SYSTEM” with IR based application and ARDUINO NANO to systematic traffic control of railway gates that are both manned and unmanned.  In Generally, there are manual gate control system which are maintained by person. As vehicles are increasing day by day it has become more difficult to control the gate manually. As a result, often accident occurs and many people become injured badly and sometimes it becomes very serious when people died due to this type of accidents. So, this work can help us to reduce accidents in our country by introducing automatic railway control system.In this work deals with one IR sensor, the sensor is fixed at certain distance of the gate, that is before the train arrive and after the train departure. Place the servo motor with a barrier attached to it so it can move up and down easily. Provide the power supply to ARDUINO so that the machine starts working. When the train arrives the sensor detects it and servo barrier blocks the crossing and when the sensor detects that the train goes away the servo barrier opens. In this way, the system works.

Neonicotinoids insecticides are neurotoxic systematic insecticides used in agricultural field for the crop protection. Neonicotinoids kills not only the insects also kills the pests and had a great threat to the pollinators. These includes acetamiprid, thiacloprid,nitenpyram, imidacloprid, dinotefuran, thiamethoxam and clothianidin. Most of the neonicotinoids are persistent and have high leaching runoff potential in soil. Because of these characteristics, neonicotinoids leads to affects the surface water, ground water, flora and also less effects on the fauna and human beings. This review suggests the toxicity amount of neonicotinoids and also the acute and the chronic effects.

Background

Analyses of diagnostic performance of SARS-CoV-2 antigen rapid diagnostic tests (AG-RDTs) based on long-term data, population subgroups and many AG-RDT types are scarce.

Aim

We aimed to analyse sensitivity and specificity of AG-RDTs for subgroups based on age, incidence, sample type, reason for test, symptoms, vaccination status and the AG-RDT’s presence on approved lists.

Methods

We included AG-RDT results registered in Czechia’s Information System for Infectious Diseases between August and November 2021. Subpopulations were analysed based on 346,000 test results for which a confirmatory PCR test was recorded ≤ 3 days after the AG-RDT; 38 AG-RDTs with more than 100 PCR-positive and 300 PCR-negative samples were individually evaluated.

Results

Average sensitivity and specificity were 72.4% and 96.7%, respectively. We recorded lower sensitivity for age groups 0–12 (65.5%) and 13–18 years (65.3%). The sensitivity level rose with increasing SARS-CoV-2 incidence from 66.0% to 76.7%. Nasopharyngeal samples had the highest sensitivity and saliva the lowest. Sensitivity for preventive reasons was 63.6% vs 86.1% when testing for suspected infection. Sensitivity was 84.8% when one or more symptoms were reported compared with 57.1% for no symptoms. Vaccination was associated with a 4.2% higher sensitivity. Significantly higher sensitivity levels pertained to AG-RDTs on the World Health Organization Emergency Use List (WHO EUL), European Union Common List and the list of the United Kingdom’s Department of Health and Social Care.

Conclusion

AG-RDTs from approved lists should be considered, especially in situations associated with lower viral load. Results are limited to SARS-CoV-2 delta variant.

A monkeypox virus (MPXV) outbreak has been ongoing worldwide since May 2022. The role of specimens other than skin lesions for MPXV diagnosis is unknown. We evaluated 140 different clinical specimens by real-time PCR. The highest positivity rates (97%) were from skin lesions of any part of the body, followed by plasma, pharyngeal and anal swabs. Testing specimens from multiple sites may improve the sensitivity and reduce false-negative test results.

Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease and leads to a smallpox-like disease in humans. The current epidemic in European countries requires informed responses. We investigated the ability to self-diagnose a potential infection, and determinants of vaccination and self-isolation intention after diagnosis among 394 MSM in the Netherlands. We found that about half were able to self-diagnose monkeypox, that 70% had a high intention to get vaccinated and 44% to self-isolate after monkeypox diagnosis. Determinants went beyond mere risk behaviour criteria.

In Navarre, Spain, in May 2022, the seroprevalence of anti-nucleocapsid (N) and anti-spike (S) antibodies of SARS-CoV-2 was 58.9% and 92.7%, respectively. The incidence of confirmed COVID-19 thereafter through July was lower in people with anti-N antibodies (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 0.08; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.05–0.13) but not with anti-S antibodies (aOR = 1.06; 95% CI: 0.47–2.38). Hybrid immunity, including anti-N antibodies induced by natural exposure to SARS-CoV-2, seems essential in preventing Omicron COVID-19 cases.
