Evaluation of machine learning techniques for the Nd: YAG Laser & TIG welded stainless steel 304
Authors: Kumar Varun , Krishna Pradeep , Hasanabadi Masood , Sathickbasha K.
Published: February 2024

Nd: YAG Laser and Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding processes are the most promising joining techniques used for stainless steel (SS) alloys due to their significant weld characteristics. In this study, the effect of two process parameters (weld power and travel speed) on the mechanical properties (ultimate tensile strength and microhardness) of the weldment is investigated. Two different machine learning techniques, namely Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Unified Convolutional Neural Network (UCNN) are also evaluated for prediction of mechanical properties and defect detection through the image processing technique, respectively. A correlation has been performed between these two machine learning approaches with the experimental values. The training data sets are developed for the machine learning techniques, and the obtained results of (ANFIS) and (UCNN) models are related to the actual experimental values. The output of both developed models (ANFIS & UCNN) showed a good agreement with the actual experimental test results. The predicted tensile and microhardness values from the (ANFIS) model were found to greatly agree with the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) values from the (UCNN) model. However, owing to the increase in the applications of welding processes in industries, the utilization of machine learning techniques would be more efficient when compared with the other traditional methods that are being adopted.
Cultural significance of the sun in Italy in the novel At Hyperboreans by Miloš Crnjanski
Authors: Janjić Danijela
Published: February 2024

The paper analyses the importance of the Sun for Miloš Crnjanski in his novel At Hyperboreans. Its meanings are revealed and interpreted as a symbol of well-being and as a spatial and temporal unifier. At the same time, the way in which Crnjanski understands time and space is contemplated. The paper reveals why the meanings of the Sun in Crnjanski's narration are, in fact, utopian. Through an analysis of the importance of the Sun, the paper also shows how some aspects of Italian culture were experienced in the novel At Hyperboreans, and reveals one of the possible broader thematic frameworks that Crnjanski has set in his novel.
The life of sociologist Alain Touraine has come to its end: Has it come to the end of societies as well, as Touraine claimed?
Authors: Vratuša-Žunjić Vera
Published: February 2024

Alain Touraine, the world-famous French sociologist, director and professor at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences, founder of the Centre for the Analysis and Sociological Intervention in 1981, visiting professor at many universities outside France, and recipient of many national and international awards, died in Paris on June 9, 2023, at 3:30 A.M., at the age of 97. His daughter, Marisol Touraine, former French minister of social affairs, announced to the editorial staff for culture of the French television the exact time and date of her father's death. This information provoked the appearance of several in memoriam texts, rich in data on Touraine's biography and bibliography. I will also rely on these data, apart from other secondary and primary sources, in the process of reconstruction of the close relationship between Touraine's biography and his theoretical, empirical and practical political sociological work.
Metajournalistic discourse on media freedom in online media in Serbia
Authors: Mitrović Marta , Vujović Marija , Vulić Tatjana
Published: February 2024

Metajournalistic discourse is a broad field of research, and its analysis provides insight into how different journalistic concepts are defined and legitimised within the profession. However, in addition to journalistic actors, numerous non-media actors also participate in the construction of metadiscourse in journalism. This paper analyses metajournalistic discourse (Carlson, 2016) on media freedom, with the aim of answering the following research questions: "Which actors build metadiscourse around the concept of media freedom in Serbia?" and "What is the tone of this metadiscourse?" As many as 674 texts collected during 2021 and 2022 from 10 online media outlets were analysed. The results of this analysis show that the metadiscourse on media freedom is mostly built by non-journalistic actors, while the most common tone of that discourse is critical. By cross-referencing the actors with the tone of discourse, it was concluded that a critical tone prevailed among all actors, both journalists and non-journalists, with the exception of state officials. They are also the only actors with a positive tone of discourse.
Influence of Wilson's understanding of dichotomy on the development of modern public administration
Authors: Milenković Dejan
Published: February 2024

Public administration is a complex social phenomenon which has its own sociological, political, legal, organizational and other features. Accordingly, the "angle" of its observation can be quite different. Public administration is therefore studied in numerous higher education institutions, both in the field of political science, sociology, law and others. Woodrow Wilson, former US president and the Nobel Prize winner, is considered the founder of the scientific approach to administration. In his scientific work from 1887, entitled "The Study of Administration", Wilson pointed out three "dichotomies" related to public administration: (1) between politics and administration; (2) between political and administrative sciences, and (3) between politicians and civil servants. Wilson thus raised a whole series of issues that are still the subject of polemics and discussions, and his scientific thought has become a permanent legacy and the subject of study by numerous authors in both theoretical and practical analysis of public administration, which still has an impact on its changes and development.

Tactile sign language of people with deaf-blindness
Authors: Jablan Branka , Alimović Sonja , Vučinić Vesna
Published: February 2024

Introduction. Deaf-blindness is a dual sensory impairment and adversely affects different areas of a person's functioning. Thus, there is a need for an individualized approach to education and rehabilitation, as well as specific services that facilitate learning, participation, and social inclusion. The study of this phenomenon is accompanied by challenges arising from the lack of consensus on the definition of deaf-blindness, the heterogeneity of the population, and the lack of reliable tests and tools for assessment. Furthermore, the use of traditional procedures that are often based only on the determination of sensory functioning, as well as insufficiently efficient and untested working methods, hinder the development of communication with a person who is deafblind. Objectives. The aim of this paper was to analyze the specific communication methods of people with deaf-blindness and, in particular, to analyze and describe tactile sign language. Methods. The service of the Consortium of Libraries of Serbia for unified acquisition - KOBSON and Google Scholar Advanced Search were used for the search and analysis of relevant studies. Searches were performed using the following services/ aggregators: Ebsco host, ScienceDirect, and Wiley Inter Science. Results. Communication of people with deaf-blindness can occur through a variety of modalities: speech, sign language, finger alphabet/alphabet, manual alphabet/manual alphabet, Lorm's alphabet, palm writing, Tadoma method, written language, Braille, enlarged print, tactile sign language. In recent studies, authors emphasize the need to develop a unique tactile sign language as a natural language of persons who are deafblind from birth.
Một số tiêu chuẩn trong và ngoài nước về thiết kế kết cấu bê tông cốt thép đã và đang sử dụng ở Việt Nam
Authors: Nguyễn Đại Minh
Published: February 2024

In recent 65 years, Vietnamese construction industry have had great achievements and outstanding developments. Many high-rise buildings and super structures have been built and put into operations, serving well the demands of people and society. Most of buildings were made by concrete, and designed based on the Vietnamese or the foreign standards (e.g. the US, the European or the Chinese codes etc.). Studying and comparing of these standards can possibly provide good understanding for the designers regarding to the legality, the scientific basis and the practicality of the codes (especially for those international codes, due to not being familiar to the Vietnamese engineers). In addition, it may help the engineers to choose the standard in the design when needed. This can also be good experiences for the revision or preparations of the Vietnam design standards later in the future.

Impact of the group antenatal care model at Machakos County Referral Hospital, Kenya
Authors: Iska Alice
Published: February 2024

Background: According to the World Health Organization, antenatal care (ANC) is defined as “timely, appropriate, evidence-based actions related to health promotion, disease prevention, screening, and treatment with targets to reduce complications from pregnancy and childbirth, such as stillbirths and perinatal deaths”. The WHO recommends the adoption of the eight antenatal care model, whereby the health care provider interacts with the pregnant woman in eight contacts, as compared to the individual antenatal care model that had four visits. The eight ANC contacts are easily achieved through group antenatal care whereby pregnant women of similar gestational age are placed in groups or cohorts and then receive care together in the following ANC clinic days.
Objective: To assess the impact of a group antenatal care model at Machakos County Referral Hospital.
Methods: The group antenatal care model was rolled out at Machakos County Referral Hospital in April 2022.  A record review was done from the summary report register for the following periods: February to July 2021 (before group ANC) and February to July 2023 (after group ANC).   
Results: The number of clients who revisited the antenatal clinic in the study period for the year 2021 was 2075, whereas those who revisited the clinic in the same study period were 4057, with  688 clients having attended the group antenatal care.
Conclusion: There was an increase in the number of pregnant women who attended ANC services among pregnant women in 2023. A possible contributing factor to this may be associated with the introduction of group antenatal care where the pregnant women interacted seven times with the nurses and therefore more entries to the register.

Published: February 2024

Background: Ovarian cancer is the second most common cause of death among gynecological cancerpatients in Kenya, and the number of cases is predicted to rise from 1,130 to 2,600 per year by 2040.
However, there is very limited diagnostic and treatment capacity. This study aims to establish the first-ever patient experience evidence base of women with ovarian cancer in Kenya and identify challenges
and opportunities to improve survival and quality of life.Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional observational study in which all eligible womenattending Moi Teaching and Referral and Aga Khan Hospitals with a diagnosis of ovarian cancer withinthe previous five years were recruited.Results: Of 104 eligible women with a median age of 51 years, epithelial ovarian cancers were the mostcommon (70%), particularly high-grade serous carcinoma (46%). Most respondents (66%) had advanceddisease. Approximately 24% had to travel for five hours or more to access care. The mean average timefrom experiencing symptoms to diagnosis was 7.4 months. Almost half had never heard of ovariancancer. Approximately 81% reported that their finances had been affected largely by the diagnosis, with55% of these women reporting that their household income had dropped below what they needed tosurvive.Conclusion: The inaccessibility of quality cancer care in Kenya leads to delays in diagnosis andtreatment initiation. Innovative awareness strategies, health provider education, and cost mitigation areneeded to ensure that women can seek help promptly to reduce morbidity and mortality.

Published: February 2024

Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) is caused by chronic Schistosoma hematobium infection. Over 56 million women and girls in sub-Saharan Africa are estimated to be infected with FGS. However, gaps in knowledge of the symptomatology of FGS often lead to misdiagnosis and undertreatment. FGS presents with nonspecific genital symptoms and is likely to be misdiagnosed as a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Recurrent treatment for STIs may result in marital discord, intimate partner violence, and social stigma. Other FGS complications include ectopic pregnancy, infertility, urine incontinence, 3-4-fold increased susceptibility to HIV infection, and persistence of human papillomavirus infection (HPV). A minimum service package (MSP) that is acceptable and feasible for the integration of FGS and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services is needed. A foundational literature review was conducted to identify service points for FGS and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) service integration. The final MSP was developed through collaborative efforts with stakeholders in various fields associated with FGS and SRH services. The MSP identified four key areas for successful integration of FGS into SRH services including: health literacy, screening and diagnosis, treatment and care, and social inclusion and equity at the community and healthcare facility level. A context-specific integration MSP may be the most efficient, effective, and ethical way to comprehensively address the burden of FGS faced by women and girls in Africa.

Background: The demand side of the health system is gaining traction to improve health outcomes.  Among adolescents and youths, this is needed, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where they account for the majority and demographic dividends require that they be healthy and productive to participate in national development. Unfortunately, at this transition age from childhood into adulthood, they experience many challenges such as malnutrition, poverty, school dropout rates, gender inequality, drug and substance abuse, mental ill-health, and menstrual hygiene and health challenges. Risky behaviors related to SRHR include unplanned pregnancies, gender and sexual orientation issues, gender-based violence, sexually transmitted infections, harmful cultural practices, and reproductive cancers.

Methods: VSO PITCH Data for the youth accountability project addressed social accountability by service providers for youth-friendly information and services. The data tool used was the intersectional community scorecard collected through focused group discussion entries made at county health facilities by youth, service providers, and interface synthesis of satisfaction scores. These were uploaded onto a digital platform showing the number of FGDs, core indicators, satisfaction scores, reasons, recommendations, and action plans. This project was conducted in Kilifi County and two other counties.  

Results: FGDs comprised 50% youth, 25% adults, 25% of mixed age range, and two persons with disability. All core indicators were unsatisfactory, <50%, and did not meet the global standard for quality healthcare services. The satisfaction score for the number of staff providers was grossly underserved at 10%, with the youth demanding that they serve their own. A satisfaction score of 30% was reported due to a lack of disability services, privacy, youth space, inadequate quality of care including test kits for HIV, and discriminated and stigmatized LGBTQ+ with back-biting after delivery of services. 

Conclusion: Youth-led social accountability ensures service providers are responsive to the needs of adolescents and youth. The propulsion is by youth for youth who should be health literate on social accountability. More attention among service providers includes the provision of adequate competent staff, VCAT, compassionate and respectful care, and good interpersonal communication, meaningful engagement and reverse mentorship with adolescents and youth, and a focus on rights-based and intersectionality for better SRHR outcomes and youth development.
Why the Russian Constitution Matters
Authors: Partlett William
Published: February 2024

Russia’s failure to become a democracy after the collapse of the Soviet Union is not an inevitable product of its history. On the contrary, it has been shaped by the adoption of a constitutional system of centralised power in the office of the president. Long term democratic reform will require more than just Putin leaving the office of the presidency. Avoiding a system of ‘Putinism without Putin’ will also require a new Russian constitutional foundation that breaks with centralisation and reshapes the later structural chapters of the constitution to balance power between institutions.

En este estudio se describe y compara la anatomía de estomas y tricomas foliares de Tidestromia lanuginosa (Nutt) Standl (espantavaqueros) provenientes de los municipios de Saltillo, Coah. y Lampazos de Naranjo, N.L. Algunas muestras se colectaron y llevaron al laboratorio para someterlas a la técnica de raspado de epidermis y observarlas en el microscopio de luz; otras fueron preparadas para realizar observaciones en un microscopio electrónico de barrido. Las epidermis del raspado revelan que los estomas en esta especie se encuentran en la superficie abaxial epidérmica (hipostomáticos), y carecen de células anexas (patrón anomocítico). En las micrografías electrónicas de las muestras de Lampazos se observan estomas elevados respecto a las demás células epidérmicas, mientras que las de Saltillo se encuentran en el mismo nivel. Los tricomas son candelabriformes y tienen aspecto estrellado y poseen de 8 a 10 ramas cada uno. Se encontraron diferencias altamente significativas (p < 0.01) en cuanto a la localidad: para el índice estomático, en Lampazos, el valor fue de 27.12%, mientras que el de Saltillo fue de 24.7%; la densidad estomática fue mayor en Saltillo con 214/mm2, en tanto que en Lampazos fue de 134.44/mm2 ; el área estomática fue mayor en Lampazos (359.50 mm2) que en Saltillo (227.83 mm2). La densidad de tricomas, en cambio, no mostró diferencia significativa entre ambas localidades. Las diferencias entre las variables estomáticas indican una influencia ambiental local, mientras que la densidad de tricomas, un carácter que muestra estabilidad.

A cardiopatia congênita é uma alteração estrutural do coração ou dos grandes vasos. As malformações congênitas correspondem à segunda causa de óbito em neonatos, atrás somente da prematuridade. A cardiopatia congênita é a malformação mais comum. É a maior causa de mortalidade no primeiro ano de vida e a terceira nos primeiros 30 dias de vida. A comunicação interventricular, do tipo perimembranosa, como no presente caso, é a prevalente. Cerca de 30% dos recém-nascidos têm alta hospitalar sem diagnóstico e pode levar a consequências clínicas, tais como hipóxia, choque e/ou morte súbita. No presente caso, houve morte súbita no 5° dia de vida. O diagnóstico de cardiopatia congênita foi realizado somente na autópsia. Isso enfatiza a importância de incorporar o rastreamento no período pré-natal e neonatal como uma valiosa ferramenta na detecção de anomalias cardíacas e prevenir danos permanentes ou morte da criança.

A doença de Creutzfeldt-Jakob é rara e fatal. Acomete o sistema nervoso central e é caracterizada por demência rapidamente progressiva, associada à ataxia, mioclonias e mutismo acinético. Contudo, há uma ampla variedade de apresentações clínicas, tornando o diagnóstico um desafio. A sobrevida varia em torno de meses, com um prognóstico reservado e sem tratamento atual eficaz que altere a mortalidade. Nesta revisão, relata-se o caso de um paciente com quadro característico da doença de Creutzfeldt-Jakob e alterações típicas em exames complementares. O objetivo desta revisão é discutir os aspectos mais relevantes da doença, bem como as atualizações sobre biomarcadores diagnósticos e tratamento.

Renal artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of blunt renal trauma. Super-selective angioembolization is aminimally invasive, effective procedure to manage traumatic renal artery pseudoaneurysm, in patients who are hemodynamicallystable. We report our experience in the management of patients with post-traumatic bleeding pseudoaneurysm withangioembolization. Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the inpatient and outpatient records and imagingdata of our hospital, of all patients with history of blunt injury to kidneys, admitted with massive hematuria and underwentangioembolization to control the bleeding. Results: During the study period, 3 patients (all male) with a mean age of 26.66 yearspresented to us with blunt injury abdomen. Contrast computed tomography (CT) revealed Grade IV renal injury in 2 patientsand Grade V injury in 1 patient. Focal intensively enhancing areas were noted at the site of renal parenchymal lacerationssuggestive of pseudoaneurysms. Super-selective catheterization was performed and embolization done using 50% N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) + Lipiodol. Conclusions: Angioembolization, a radiographic intervention, is an effective and minimallyinvasive technique to stop active bleeding from renal artery pseudoaneurysms.
