Blood group detection using ML classifier
Authors: Dannana Suresh , Prasad D Y Vara
Published: April 2022

Determining blood types is very important during emergency situations before giving a blood transfusion. Currently, tests that are performed manually by technicians can lead to human error. As the tests are performed manually, if an inappropriate blood group is detected it can result in the death of an individual. Blood type determination in a short time and without human error is very essential. Many methods are employed which aims at determining the type of blood. The first method developed is determination of blood type using fiber optics. In this method, optical signals are fed into blood sample depending upon the optical variations of different blood groups the corresponding blood group is detected. But, this method fails to find the Rh (positive and negative) type of blood group. The second method employed is classification of blood type by microscopic images. Initially image processing is performed by histogram equalization, and then corresponding blood group is analyzed by Quantification Techniques. In this Technique, the major disadvantage lies in the inaccurate detection of agglutination. In order to avoid these disadvantages a new method Blood group detection using an ML classifier, Support Vector Machine (SVM) is proposed.

Published: April 2022

In our scientific work, the effect of the tincture “world of phytochoyi”, made from natural herbs, which has a high efficiency, on the energy metabolism of mitochondria, was observed in the case of injury to the liver of toxic hepatitis animals.  Inflammation of the liver depends on the chemical structure of the hepatotoxic substance, the period and amount of exposure. The deposition of geliotrin in the seeds of ostrich(Heliotroriumlasiosarrum) into the grains of the spike plant calls for toxic hepatitis. In the conducted studies, it was found that the tincture "world of phytochoyi" brings the energy metabolism in the liver mitochondria of animals infected with heliotrin hepatitis closer to the indicator in the liver mitochondria of healthy animals.

Authors: Samuel Roshen M , Kshirsagar Ashok Y
Published: April 2022

Aims: This study is to compare the outcome of diathermy incisions versus steel scalpel incisions in abdominal surgeries with regard to incision time, incision related blood loss, post-operative pain and post-operative wound infection / complication. Materials and methods: This is a prospective randomized comparative clinical study involving 116 patients. 58 patients were randomly assigned to undergo incision either with scalpel or electrocautery. Results were analysed based on the findings. Results: Incision time and incisional blood loss is lesser in electrocautery incisions when compared to scalpel incisions. This is an encouraging fact in view of routine use of electrocautery for taking abdominal incisions after observing all necessary aseptic precautions. There was no significant difference in terms of post-operative pain and wound complications according to the data. Conclusion: Electrosurgical instruments can be used as an alternate safer option for surgical incisions.
MCA techniques on health awareness among the Bodo women of Udalguri District, Assam
Authors: Saikia Prasanta , Gogoi Bipin
Published: April 2022

According to WHO report, “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infinity”,[1]. Consequently further developing health status of everything is a piece of population control program. Besides health status can improve or fall apart dependent on the attitudes and activities taken towards health. In demographic analysis, we come across some interesting problems which involve simultaneous consideration of several predictor variables to study their relationships with a dependent variable. Sometimes we are interested to know how well all the variables taken together explain variation in the dependent variable and also how each predictor variable is related to the dependent variable. In this paper, an endeavor has been made to examine the health status among the respondents of Bodo women of Udalguri District, Assam using "Multiple Classification Analysis, MCA". In fact, MCA is a technique for examining the inter-relationship between several predictor variables and dependent variables within the context of additive model. It may be easily explained as multiple regressions with dummy variables and ‘adjusted derivatives’ along with ‘unadjusted effects’.

Published: April 2022

Ovarian reserve (OR)determines the quantity and quality of follicles present in the ovary. It is independent of menstrual cycle in women of reproductive age. The chances of conceiving in infertile women can be predicted by understanding and determining the OR. The aim of the study was to assess and determine whether Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) with Antral Follicle Count (AFC) or AMH alone is a better predictor of ovarian reserve in female infertile patients. Methods: In this prospective, cross-sectional study, a total of 60 patients were measured for AMH levels of which 30 patients was assessed along with AFC. The demographic details were collected and 5ml of venous blood samples were taken on day 2 of menstrual cycle. Serum was separated and stored at -20oC. Serum AMH levels were analysed using enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA) whereas Antral Follicle Count with ultrasonography. Finally, 54 patients completed the analysis with the mean age of 26.32±3.95 years and body mass index of 24.09±4.62. The average AMH levels and AFC were found to be 2.49±4.05 ng/ml and 14.92±8.69 follicles respectively. AMH showed negative correlation with both FSH and LH and no correlation with estradiol.

Authors: Popović Anto
Published: April 2022

Ovaj članak analizira najavu smrtne kazne za prijestup Božje zabrane u Post 2,17b. Analiza je obavljena u tri koraka. U prvom koraku analiziran je izričaj mot tamut (zacijelo ćeš umrijeti), koji najavljuje smrtnu kaznu. U drugom koraku analiziran je izričaj bǝyom, koji smješta izvršenje kazne »u dan« prijestupa. U trećem koraku doneseno je pet kontekstualnih tumačenja prethodnih dvaju izričaja (bǝyom i mot tamut) uzetih zajedno, a iz perspektive (ne)izvršenja najavljene smrtne kazne. Tumačenje najavljene kazne u smislu duhovne smrti čini se da ima preferencijalnu prednost zato što se najbolje uklapa u narativnu logiku Post 2 – 3.
Praksa vjere u gradu danas i sutra
Authors: Vranješ Nikola
Published: April 2022

Kršćanska vjera svoju opstojnost ne duguje niti jednoj ljudskoj kulturi budući da proizlazi iz vrhunaravnih izvora. No, dobro je poznata činjenica da ona za svoje konkretno ostvarivanje uvijek ima potrebu za izražajnim formama kulturnog reda. Te su forme, također uvijek, na različite načine uvjetovane konkretnim oblicima, okvirima i elementima ljudskog suživota i organizacije, među kojima se ističe grad. Prema više nego jasnim i mnogobrojnim socio-demogarfskim pokazateljima, grad je, u različitim intenzitetima i oblicima, već stoljećima i desetljećima posebna meta tolikih milijuna ljudi koji upravo u njemu nastoje ostvariti svoju želju za osmišljenim i sretnim životom. Drugim riječima, grad je već duže vrijeme, a danas posebno, u ekspanziji. Ona u mnogome utječe i na suvremene načine življenja vjere u gradu. Ovaj rad posvećen je temi teološko-pastoralnog razlučivanja današnjeg stanja prakse vjere u gradu u hrvatskim i njemu kulturalno bližim europskim gradskim sredinama, kao i teološko-praktičnom ukazivanju na oznake trendova vezanih za to područje koji će očito biti aktualni u budućnosti. Budući da pitanje konkretnog ostvarivanja kršćanske vjere u tim okvirima nipošto nije marginalno društveno pitanje, ono po sebi zahtjeva što sustavniji pristup, osobito pod vidom teološkog proučavanja uvjetovanosti življenja vjere u kulturalnim promjenama grada. Stoga se ovdje naglasak stavlja na povezivanje elemenata vjere i određenih novijih kulturalnih formi s ciljem traženja mogućih rješenja koja će u budućnosti pomoći oko što kvalitetnijeg susreta ljudskih kultura i vjere u gradu
Legislative Pathways for Securing Community-based Property Rights
Authors:   Rights and Resources Initiative, Almeida Fernanda
Published: April 2022

Governments are increasingly recognizing Indigenous Peoples’ and local communities’ rights to land and resources. Despite increased recognition, there are several shortcomings in the legal frameworks through which governments formally recognize community-based property rights. Building on consultations with legal experts on community rights, recent literature, and a review of over 200 national legal instruments, this paper proposes a framework of analysis to systematically classify and evaluate legal pathways to secure recognition of community-based property rights. The framework considers five key elements common to laws recognizing community-based rights, and helps determine how these rights can be exercised and implemented in practice as well as three common legislative entry points through which legal recognition can take place. Furthermore, to illustrate the variety of legal pathways (and potential advantages and limitations of each) that have been used by national legislators to recognize community tenure rights, the paper also applies this framework to the legal frameworks (or tenure “regimes”) included in the Rights and Resources Initiative’s legal tenure rights database. It concludes that although legal recognition in national systems has advanced in the past decades, it is far from ideal, even in the best cases.

Objective: To explore the efficacy of health education in nursing patients with gallstones. Methods: 102 gallstone patients in our hospital from March 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively studied. According to the random number table methods, they were assigned to the control group and the experimental group. The two groups adopted routine nursing, and the experimental group additionally received health education. The efficacy and other related indicators were analyzed and compared. Results: After operation, the experimental group had a shorter hospital stay and less bleeding volume than the control group. The self-care ability was enhanced in both groups, in which the experimental group outperformed the control group. A lower incidence of complication and a higher satisfaction rate were obtained in the experimental group than the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Health education after treatment can effectively alleviate the postoperative bleeding and reduce the incidence of complications, improve the quality of prognosis, shorten the hospital stay of patients with gallstones, promote self-care ability, and enhance health-related knowledge awareness and nursing satisfaction.

Published: April 2022

Objective: This study was designed to explore the influence of the intervention of fine management mode in the operating room on postoperative infection rate and quality of life of patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. Methods: A total of 145 patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery in our hospital from June 2019 to June 2020 were recruited and randomly divided into two groups, including 67 patients in the control group and 78 patients in the observation group. Patients in the former group received conventional management mode in the operating room, and patients in the latter group received fine management mode in the operating room. The postoperative infection rate and quality of life were compared between the two groups. The nursing quality and nursing satisfaction of patients were evaluated in both groups. Results: Compared with the control group, patients in the observation group exhibited markedly lower postoperative infection rate and better postoperative wound healing condition. Besides, patients in the observation group had notably better quality of life, higher nursing quality, and higher nursing satisfaction than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The intervention of fine management mode in the operating room can effectively reduce the postoperative infection rate and improve the quality of life of patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, leading to higher satisfaction.

Published: April 2022

Background:

Prescription opioid abuse remains an ongoing public health crisis, especially in orthopaedic surgery. The purpose of the present study is to analyze opioid-prescribing patterns and investigate risk factors for prolonged opioid use after common outpatient orthopaedic surgical procedures.

Methods:

After institutional review board approval, a review of 1,384 patients undergoing common elective outpatient orthopaedic procedures from January 2018 to June 2019 was conducted. Data on controlled substance prescriptions were obtained from the prescription drug monitoring program website. Statistical analysis was done to identify predictors for a second opioid prescription and prolonged opioid use (>6 months).

Results:

Over 10% (150/1,384) of patients were still using opioids beyond 6 months. Of the opioid exposed patients, 60.4% (174/288) filled at least 1 additional opioid prescription postoperatively, and 29.2% (84/288) filled prescriptions beyond 6 months, compared with 26.4% (289/1,096) and 6.0% (66/1,096) of opioid-naive patients, respectively. Following multivariate analysis, significant predictors for filling a second opioid prescription included preoperative opioid use, current smoker status, benzodiazepine use, psychiatric disorder, and advanced age.

Conclusion:

This study revealed risk factors for prolonged opioid use after orthopaedic surgery. Surgeons should be mindful of these risk factors and counsel patients regarding postoperative pain management.

Authors: Medline Alexandra , Grissom Helyn , Guissé Ndéye F. , Kravets Victoria , Hobson Sandra , Samora Julie Balch , Schenker Mara
Published: April 2022

Background:

Demographic differences among surgical trainees regarding intrapersonal traits, such as imposter syndrome and assertiveness, have become widely acknowledged. However, many of these characteristics have not been examined in tandem, nor among both trainees and surgeons in practice. This study aimed to address these knowledge gaps.

Methods:

This was an anonymous, voluntary survey study comprised of validated measures of (1) self-efficacy, (2) imposter syndrome, (3) assertiveness, (4) perfectionism, and (5) self-rated likeability. A multimodal recruitment strategy was used and surgeons across all subspecialties were eligible for inclusion.

Results:

A total of 296 participants were included, with 54% identifying as female (n = 161) and 72% between the ages of 25 and 40 years of age (n = 212). Imposter syndrome, assertiveness, and perfectionism scales were normally distributed; self-efficacy and self-rated likeability scales demonstrated slight negative skew. Self-identified male sex was associated with less imposter syndrome (P < 0.001) and perfectionism (P = 0.035) and higher assertiveness (P < 0.001). Imposter syndrome was less common among older age groups (P = 0.001).

Conclusions:

Surgeons are a self-efficacious group of perfectionists with widespread variability in imposter syndrome and assertiveness. Female sex and younger age were associated with more imposter syndrome and less assertiveness, highlighting an opportunity for early career coaching.

The aim is to determine the short-term profitability of IPOs and to surrounding the evolution of this profitability on the middle/long run. Therefore, we used the raw initial returns and the adjusted initial returns methods to assess the short-term performance. We determined the long-term performance through the cumulative abnormal returns and the buy-and-hold abnormal returns, abnormal returns being adjusted to the market index and to the market model. By applying those methods to the eleven (11) IPOs’ made on the RSES from September 16th 1998 to December 31st 2011, we drawn two main conclusions. First of all, our results reveal that RSES’s IPOs present a great initial underpricing during this period and that, the adjustment of initial returns to market index negatively affected them. Then, the holding of these stocks on the middle/long run lead to their underperformance compared to the market portfolio. However, the long-term performance with buy-and-hold abnormal returns (BHARs) is less deteriorated than the one with cumulative abnormal returns (CARs). Those results imply that, buying IPOs at the offer price is profitable to investors in the short run and the holding of those stocks in the middle and long run must be done through the buy-and-hold investment strategy.

Published: April 2022

Acceptance of cage fish farming within Volta Lake in Ghana, was assessed in the lake’s riparian sub-communities by estimating opinion case of community members generally and specifically on issues including Interference of fish culture with fishing; Cage culture interference with local boat transportation activities; Integration level of cage fish culture into other lake activities; Awareness of lake’s community of the lake as a multipurpose resource; Primary occupation of community members; Co-existence level of fish farm operators and communities and cumulative acceptance of fish culture compared to other lake uses and users currently and in the future when the lake is zoned. Methods used were Formal survey and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) in two conceptualized zones (Afram Plains and Asuogyaman) of the lake and data was analyzed by SPSS. A study was undertaken to enhance integration and acceptance of cage fish culture into activities on the Volta Lake and by extension on potential other water bodies where cage fish culture might be practiced. Results indicated that several mutually beneficial situations existed between cage fish farming operators and lake communities. However, there were also conflict flashpoints between cage fish farming practices and livelihood activities of communities at some places as well as fish culture-related outcomes, such as effluents of the culture on lake water quality for communities. The benefits of cage fish farming to communities observed in the results confirm some previous reports. Suggestions of communities to the resolution of conflict flashpoints of operations with operators of cage fish farming provide avenues for enhanced integration thus acceptance and sustainability of cage culture in riparian communities of the lake and other water bodies that could be found suitable for cage fish culture.

استهدفت الحملات الاستعمارية بلدان المغرب العربي خلال القرن التّاسع عشر، من بينهم الجزائر التي كانت في الطّليعة، والهدف من هذه الحملات هو طمس الشّخصية الوطنيّة، وتظليل التّاريخ، الأمر الذي حفّز نمو النّزعة الوطنية والقومية في الأدب عامّة والشّعر بنوعيه خاصّة، حيث دفعت الوطنية الشّعراء إلى مسايرة الأحداث السياسيّة والاجتماعية والثّقافية، قصد جمع شتات أفراد المجتمع الجزائري، وتوحيد كلمته، واتّخاذ الموقف الثّوري الذي جسّده فيما يعرف (بالشّعر الوطني)، وهذا ما حاولت هذه الورقة البحثيّة تسليط الضّوء عليه بحثا وتنقيبا، وكان هدفنا يتمثّل في طرح الاشكالية التي تمخّضت عنها جملة التّساؤلات منها: ما المقصود بالوطن والوطنية؟ وما علاقة الشعر الثّوري بالوطن؟ وهل خدم الشّعراء هذا الاتّجاه في شعرهم؟
واقع المرأة في العالم المعولم

لا يوجد فعلا من ينكر  فضل إيجابيات العولمة على المجتمعات قاطبة وعلى كل المستويات الاجتماعية والاقتصادية والثقافية سواء تعلق الامر بالتطور الذي تشهده المجتمعات أو الافراد. فبالنسبة للمرأة، فقد ساهمت العولمةُ في تقليلِ القُيودِ الاجتماعيّةِ وقَلَّصَتِ الحَواجِزَ بينها وبين الرّجُل، فأصبحت الفتيات تستطعن  الوصول  الى ماتردن  من تعليمٍ وعمل بنفسِ السّرعة والسّهولة التي يمتلكها الشّباب. كما ساعد هذا الانفتاحُ  للمرأة  المسلمة على  اكتسابها لثقافات وافدة جديدة أثرت عليها من نواحي إيجابية ولكن نتائج هذا الافراط في الانفتاح  أحدث لها  ما  يعرف بالاصطدام بين الهوية الأصيلة والجديدة ففقدت المرأة من خلال هذا التحول الجدري ذاتها من خلال الذوبان في الآخر واكتسبت  عاداتٍ وتقاليدَ جديدة، سواء ببالسفر إلى الخارج، أو عن طريق وسائل الاعلام ، مما ساهم هذا التحول  في انتشار تغيير نمط تنظيم الاسرة  وهذا هو الخطر على المجتمعت العربية المسلمة التي لا تعرف كيف تتعامل مع ظاهرة العولمة.أردنا من خلال هذه الورقة البحثية أن نسلط الضوء علة أثر العولمة على المجتمعات عموما والمرأة خصوصا و تهدف هذه الدراسة الى إيجاد الحلول والتوصيات التي تمكن المرأة من ضبط آليات التعامل مع هذه الظاهرة الجديدة التي ابتكرتها المجتمعات الغربية والأمريكية  ومن نتائج هذه الدراسة تبيان جملة الآثار السلبية التي أحدثها التعامل  الجاف  مع العولمة دون النظر الى عواقبها وكيفية   تحقيق توافق بين الثقافة الأصيلة االمصقولة في الذهنية الأنثوية المسلمة والثقافة الوافدة التي يجب أن تخضع للانتقاء.
القواعد الأصولية والفقهية وأثرهما على قواعد القانونية " السودان نموذجًا "
Authors: محمد موسى محمد ابراهيم
Published: April 2022

تناول الباحث في هذا البحث أهم موضوع من موضوعات علم أصول الفقه وربطه بالقانون، وذلك من خلال القواعد الأصولية والفقهية وعلاقتهما مع القواعد القانونية السودانية، وإلى أي مدى تأثر المشرع السوداني بالشريعة الإسلامية، ولذلك نجد أن المشرع السوداني نص صراحة ًعلى عدد من القواعد الأصولية والفقهية في عدد من القوانين، كقانون الأحوال الشخصية للمسلمين، وقانون المعاملات المدنية، وقانون الإجراءات الجنائية، كما أورد الباحث ذلك بالتفصيل في هذا البحث، وكل هذا وإن دل على شيء فانه يدل على أثر القواعد الأصولية والفقهية على القواعد القانونية السودانية.
ومن أهمية القواعد الأصولية والفقهية أنها تبين إلى أي مدى تتشابه العلاقة مابين الشريعة الإسلامية  والقوانين السودانية، وأنه لا يمكن فصل الشريعة الإسلامية عن القانون في المُجتمع، طالما أن المجتمع مجتمع مسلم، وأن الدين والعُرفة مصدران من أهم مصادر التشريع في أي دولة من الدول العالم.
وقد توصل الباحث إلى عدد من النتائج والتوصيات في ختام هذا البحث منها : االقواعد الأصولية قواعد تهتم بأحكام الشريعة الإسلامية والأدلة الشرعية، وهي من أهم مباحث علم أصول الفقه، لذلك فإن المشرع السوداني أخذبها، بل أورد القواعد الأصولية والفقهية كمبدأ من المبادئ الأساسية للقانون في أكثر من قانون .

This study was aimed to compare antifungal properties of two lactobacilli strains with potassium sorbate in cheese. In this regard, the effect of 10-fold cell-free extract of Lactobacillus rhamnosus РТСС 1637 and Lactobacillus reuteri РТСС 1655 was studied on the growth of mold and yeast in the Iranian UF-Feta Cheese during a 60-day ripening period at 4 ℃. Additionally, the antifungal effect of potassium sorbate (300 and 500 ppm) and mixture of potassium sorbate and cell-free extract of tested bacteria were evaluated. The results showed that yeast and mold growth was occurred in both control and treated chesses, however, after 30 days storage, mold and yeast count was significantly lower in the cell free supernatant-treated UF-Feta cheese in comparison to the control cheese. Addition of potassium sorbate, as expected, significantly reduced mold and yeast growth in UF-Feta cheese during ripening period than control. On the other hand the result showed that mixture of probiotic extract and potassium sorbate had more efficiency in mold and yeast growth reduction than when the sorbate potassium was used alone. The highest fungal growth inhibition was achieved by application of 2 mL cell-free extract of L. reuteri CCTP 1655 along with 500 ppm potassium sorbate. Generally, it could be concluded that cell-free supernatant of tested bacteria has potential for use as bio preservatives in cheese and although studied probiotic extracts are not as effective as sorbate potassium in preventing fungi and yeast growth, they can be useful in reduction of yeast and mold growth.

Introduction. Minimally invasive procedures used in the treatment of children with Hirschsprung’s disease (HD) have reduced the rate of complications and allowed to perform these surgeries at any age. In literature, one can find much information on surgical treatment, complications, long-term results. However, features of postoperative period and mechanisms of colon function restorations after different pull-through procedures are not well described. Material and methods. From 2008 to 2019, 77 patients with different forms of HD were operated in Children’s Clinical Specialized Center of High Medical Technologies in St-Petersburg. Patients were aged from 14 days till 3 years. They were divided into 3 groups according to the applied endorectal technique- Soave, «Soavson», Swenson. The following parameters were analyzed: age, sex, stoma, surgery duration, length of hospitalization, features of postoperative period, complications.Results. An early postoperative period was similar in all groups. Two children after Soave procedure (9%) had wound infection; two children had anastomotic stricture (1 – Soave, 1 - «Soavson») which was treated with regular dilatations. Enterocolitis was diagnosed in 19 patients (25%). 20 patients (26%) had no self-defecation for 14 days – 6 months after the surgery. Most of the patients had HD of the rectosigmoid form. These disorders developed more often in patients after Soave and «Soavson» procedures, less often- after Svenson one.Discussion. An issue of choosing an optimal technique for rectal dissection is still a debatable one. There has been no any significant difference revealed between the three variants of endorectal dissection during an early postoperative period.Conclusion. A transanal endorectal pull-through procedure in children with HD is a preferable option of choice. It gives good functional outcomes. Features of the postoperative period are caused by the adaptation of new intestine to new defecation conditions.

Az onkoterápiás lehetőségek folyamatos és ugrásszerű bővülése számos daganattípus esetében teszi hatékonyabbá a lokális tumorkontrollt, és gyakran alapvetően változtatja meg a beteg életkilátásait. Az új innovatív technológiák között élenjáró elektrokemoterápia során alkalmazott rövid idejű elektromos impulzusok tranziensen és reverzibilisen permeabilizálják a sejtmembránt. Az eljárás ezáltal lehetővé teszi az intersticiálisan magas koncentrációban jelen levő kemoterapeutikumnak közvetlenül a tumorsejtbe való bejutását, és így a sejtölő hatás tumorra történő lokalizálását és maximalizálását. Az eredetileg felszíni elváltozások kezelésére alkalmazott eljárás fejlesztése ma már lehetővé teszi a technológia alkalmazását mélyebben elhelyezkedő és nagyobb szövettömeggel fedett daganatok esetében is. Kísérleti szinten pedig megkezdődött a módszer intraokuláris tumorok kezelésére optimalizált változatának vizsgálata. Jelen összefoglaló közlemény részben saját, részben pedig irodalmi adatok alapján áttekinti a klinikai gyakorlatban rendelkezésre álló elektrokemoterápiás lehetőségeket és ismerteti a bevezetésre váró új, ígéretes fejlesztéseket.
