Abstract: Probably the most important building in the city is the Municipal Corporation Administration Headquarter. The Municipal Corporation offers all the infrastructure and services required, such water and drainage, public parks, and other amenities that make a city more livable. Therefore, in order for a city to develop, the administrative structure must be planned with consideration for the Municipal Corporation's operations, the type of the job being done there, the comfort of the workers and visitors, as well as the facility's security. In the context of India, the municipal corporation's administration building lacks the fundamental interconnectedness of various places and functions. Particularly, there is no link between the city's biggest organize. During the last ninety years of its existence, this Civic Body has grown into an organization with the responsibility of beautifying the city and providing civic services. This civic body has always laid stress on quality of service. During this period the Municipality provided an building norms, façade, building shape and building envelop, in the area. Open land were covered and reclaimed land has been utilized for construction of public utility services as well as greenery.

SELECTION OF THE RATIONAL PARAMETERS OF THREE-LAYER REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES WITH MONOLITHIC BONDING LAYERS BY THE METHOD OF COMPUTER MODELING
Authors: Korol Elena , Kustikova Yulia
Published: June 2023

For the selection of the rational physical, mechanical and geometric parameters of three-layer reinforced concrete structures with monolithic bonding layers, it is necessary to have numerous data on the stress field and patterns of their deformation upon loading, changes in the energy parameters of the strength of concrete and the thickness of the layers. The important condition for the analysis of the stress-strain state by computer simulation is verification with experimental studies. This research is a confirmation of the reliability of the partitioning of the model into finite elements, the choice of their size and configuration. Modeling of three-layered enclosing structures with overall dimensions of attic overlappings allows obtaining strains and deformations in the outer and middle layers at different levels of loads and performing their comparison with limiting values. Due to the high rigidity of the three-layered enclosing structures with a monolithic bond of the layers and the use of structural concrete in the outer layers, the strength of which is more than 10 times higher than that of the middle layer, there are no cracks in the operating loads. In order to recommend considering the stress-strain state, there are more dimensional three-layer coating plates with monolithically bonded layers with different geometric and strength parameters, with different degrees of reinforcement and levels.
Mobile Phones Reduce the Penetration Ability of Human Spermatozoa And Increase the Percentage of Swollen Sperm in the Seminal Fluid of Humans.
Authors: Asit Kumar Dr. , Dubey Late A.K.
Published: June 2023

Generally, people hold mobile phones in the pocket of their pants, especially near the testes, and for that reason, the possible effects of mobile on reproductive health have become a matter of serious concern. The biological responses of such exposure caused various adverse effects on almost all biological systems. So, the present research has been proposed to study the biological responses of different duration of mobile phone usage on certain sperm functional parameters like penetration ability of spermatozoa and percentage of swollen sperm through an artificial medium (polyacrylamide) and Hypo Osmotic Swelling Test, respectively. For this, semen was collected from 65 men who used a mobile phone (SAR value 2.0 W/Kg averaged over 10gram tissue) at least 3 hours a week and kept mobile in their waist pocket. Semen was also collected from 22 men who never used mobile phones and were regarded as control. Their semen is analyzed according to the method given in the WHO laboratory manual for examining human semen, 5th edition, (2010). The results showed a highly significant (p<0.001) decreased spermatozoa penetration ability and a highly significant increased (p<0.001) level of percentage swollen spermatozoa in hypoosmotic swelling test (HOST) in human subjects using mobile phones in the last 01-05 years, 06-09 years and more than 10 years of duration in comparison to non-users human subjects. Evidence from current studies suggests the potentially harmful effects of mobile phones on certain sperm functional parameters and makes the seminal fluid infertile. A further standardized study is needed to assess the risk of mobile phone use on the reproductive system.

Acinetobacter can survive longer in the environment and is also known for developing resistance against agents like disinfectants and nutritional deprivation. Very restricted information about Acinetobacter is available because of their confused taxonomic status. The isolation and identification of resistance pattern help in the selection and search for new antibiotics, reducing the morbidity and mortality of patients. The present study was conducted to find the different types of resistant mechanisms in Acinetobacter species and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern from various clinical samples. Gram's stain and biochemical reactions identified Acinetobacter isolated from various clinical samples. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was done, and their resistant pattern was observed. Phenotypic methods for drug resistance were carried out -Detection of Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL) by Double disc synergy test (DDST), detection of Metallo Beta Lactamase (MBL) by Imipenem with EDTA, and detection of Carbapenemase production by Modified Hodge test (MHT). The results showed that out of 150 isolates of Acinetobacter species, Acinetobacter baumannii 138 (92%) was the most common species isolated, followed by Acinetobacter lwoffii 10 (7%) and Acinetobacter hemolytic 2 (1%). Of these, 22 (15%) isolates showed ESBL production by Double disc synergy test, 80 (53%) isolates were MBL producers, and 11 (7%) were Carbapenemase producers by Modified Hodge test. The study observed that ESBL production in Acinetobacter was 22(15%) and MBL 80(53%). It demonstrated that most of the Acinetobacter isolated were found to be Multi-Drug Resistant (95%). It brings out the need for active surveillance combined to eradicate the curtail of this organism in hospital settings.

Published: June 2023

Kalanchoe pinnata and Ficus racemosa are naturally occurring plant products that are gaining importance because of their excellent medicinal properties. Determining the toxicity of a plant extract is crucial, based on which the therapeutic dose of extracts can be adjusted. The present study evaluates phytochemical screening and toxicity studies (acute and sub-acute) of the Kalanchoe pinnata and Ficus racemosa plant products. Phytochemical screening showed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, steroids, phenols, and glycosides. The acute toxicity study of both the plant extracts was performed in Wistar albino rats at a single dose of 2000mg/kg body weight in both genders. Sub-acute toxicity study was performed in Wistar albino rats (both male and female) for 28 days at various doses of 500, 1000, and 2000 mg/kg body weight. The evaluation results of the acute toxicity study did not show any signs of toxicity, behavioral changes, mortality, or differences in gross histopathology appearance. The results of the sub-acute toxicity study also showed no changes in body weight, toxic signs, mortality, or behavioral changes. All biochemical and hematological parameters were in normal ranges comparable to the control group's. At the end of the treatment period, all the rats were sacrificed, and the liver and kidneys were sent for histopathological examination. No abnormalities were observed in the treatment groups. The present study concludes that both plant extracts are safe, and the LD50 of both plant extracts was above 2000mg/kg bw.

Published: June 2023

El artículo aborda el tema del pastoreo rotativo como una alternativa sustentable
en la producción ganadera, a través del sistema de manejo de praderas, que, al tiempo de
producir carne animal, procura la calidad de forrajes y, por ende, prioriza la
conservación del suelo. El objetivo principal es interpretar la operatividad del sistema
de rotación de praderas en el Rancho-Escuela Agrosol como una práctica sustentable, para
determinar su funcionalidad y viabilidad de réplica en contextos distintos. Se planteó
una metodología de tipo mixta, de alcance descriptivo, basado en la sistematización de
la experiencia práctica en el manejo de praderas en el Rancho-Escuela Agrosol, ubicado
en la localidad de Zoncuantla, Coatepec, Veracruz. De acuerdo con el análisis realizado,
se concluye que las condiciones relacionadas con el ecosistema en el cual se encuentra
el Rancho-Escuela Agrosol son determinantes en el rendimiento de las áreas de pastoreo
analizadas. Se resalta la importancia de considerar este aspecto al momento de replicar
este sistema en contextos diferentes, pues su funcionamiento dependerá de ellos. De
igual manera, se dan a conocer las características que hacen de este sistema una
actividad encaminada hacia la práctica de la sustentabilidad en pequeña escala.

Published: June 2023

Contextualización. El cangrejo rojo americano, Procambarus clarkii, es una especie invasora cuya presencia está confirmada en la zona central de Colombia. En el sur de Estados Unidos, área de distribución natural, es un importante recurso acuícola; sin embargo, se han documentado altos impactos ambientales en zonas donde ha sido introducido, precisamente por su elevada capacidad de colonización y la consecuente afectación a especies nativas. El creciente registro de su presencia en diferentes sistemas del centro del país, sugiere un acelerado patrón de expansión y supone que, tal como se ha presentado en otros países, podrán ocurrir efectos negativos sobre la estructura general de estos ecosistemas de altiplano de no aplicarse mecanismos que permitan algún nivel de control.
Vacío de conocimiento. La posibilidad de controlar su expansión mediante erradicación manual es una alternativa viable, siempre que se valide algún tipo de uso; este debe contemplar un estímulo económico para motivar pobladores que se dediquen a su extracción por pesca. El proceso para obtener harina que sirva como fuente proteica para concentrados en acuicultura es una opción que debe ser valorada.
Propósito. Se evaluaron tres porcentajes de inclusión de harina de cangrejo, en reemplazo parcial de harina de pescado, en un concentrado formulado para la etapa de alevinaje en trucha arco iris.
Metodología. Ejemplares de P. clarkii fueron capturados en el medio, utilizando trampas con carnada animal. Los cangrejos fueron procesados completos hasta obtener harina. El alimento experimental, se elaboró a partir de la valoración en composición de harina; se aplicaron cuatro tratamientos por triplicado, con tres niveles de inclusión de harina de cangrejo (T1: 2 %, T2: 4 % y T3: 6 %) y un control sin harina. Estos fueron suministrados a alevinos de trucha desde el inicio de la alimentación hasta alcanzar 6cm de longitud total. Se realizaron muestreos de longitud total (cm) y peso (g) cada diez días, durante un periodo de 60 días. Mediante análisis de varianza (ANOVA), fueron comparadas las siguientes variables de los alevines al final del periodo: peso final (Pf, g), ganancias en longitud total (GLT, cm), peso (GP, g), factor de conversión alimenticia (FCA), tasa de crecimiento específico (TCE, %), factor de condición (K) y mortalidad (%).
Resultados y conclusiones. Entre los tratamientos y para las variables evaluadas, no se presentaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre tratamientos. Se concluye que, hasta la talla trabajada, la inclusión a un nivel del 6 % de harina de cangrejo es factible como reemplazo parcial de harina de pescado. La obtención de la harina a partir de ejemplares completos dificulta el balanceo de las dietas con mayores porcentajes de reemplazo.

Contextualización: los sistemas de producción animal en Colombia se caracterizan por la deficiente disposición y calidad de forrajes, en zonas como el piedemonte llanero, debido a las condiciones edafológicas y climáticas de estas zonas .
Vacío de conocimiento: el alimento principal de los ovinos es el pasto, pero múltiples factores interfieren en el aprovechamiento y calidad de nutrientes de este. Por eso se requiere investigar al respecto y determinar cuáles son los suplementos adecuados para complementar los requerimientos nutricionales del animal, y por ende mejor su desempeño productivo.
Propósito: analizar el aporte nutricional de un suplemento alimenticio con Brachiaria spp. a la dieta de ovinos en pastoreo, evaluando el desempeño productivo y bioquímica sanguínea de estos.
Metodología: el diseño fue completamente al azar y con prueba de comparación de Tukey. Se utilizaron 12 ovinos, resultados del cruce entre ovinos criollos y de la raza Pelibuey, con un peso promedio de 20.05 ± 1.0 kg. La alimentación de los animales consistió en pasto, adicionado con Brachiaria spp., y una suplementación con 100 g de alimento balanceado comercial. Los tratamientos aplicados fueron: T1: 600 g de ensilado de maíz [EMA], T2: 200 g EMA y 100 g palmiste, T3: 400 g EMA y 100 g de salvado de trigo y T4: 400 g EMA + 200 g de ensilado de Tithonia diversifolia. Se analizó la calidad química de los alimentos suministrados y del suelo donde pastoreaban los animales. Las variables evaluadas fueron: ganancia de peso, consumo de alimento, eficiencia y conversión alimenticia, coeficiente de eficiencia proteica y bioquímica sanguínea.
Resultados y conclusiones: en T2 se obtuvo la menor [P < 0.05] ganancia diaria de peso y peso final, con relación a T1 [234.4 g y 33.6 kg Vs 263.6 g y 36.3 kg respectivamente], así como el menor consumo de materia seca [1678.1 g Vs 1815.8 g respectivamente]. Los demás tratamientos tuvieron un comportamiento similar [P > 0.05] en el consumo total de materia seca y proteína. Las concentraciones séricas de proteína, albúmina, glucosa, colesterol, triglicéridos y calcio fueron similares [P > 0.05] antes y después de los tratamientos, mientras que la concentración sérica de magnesio, después de la suplementación, fue superior [P < 0.05] en T4 con relación a T1 y T2. Los suplementos como EMA, palmiste, salvado de trigo y ensilado de botón de oro tienen un efecto positivo en ovinos de ceba alimentados con pasto y Brachiaria spp. en lo referente a consumo de materia seca, aumento de peso y conversión alimenticia.

Variación de la captura por unidad de esfuerzo (CPUE) de la pesca artesanal y su sustentabilidad en relación con las variables ambientales en el Pacífico colombiano
Authors: González Camilo Jairo Alberto , Gamboa García Diego Esteban , Duque Guillermo
Published: June 2023

Contextualización: la pesca artesanal en el Pacífico colombiano se posiciona como una de las principales fuentes de ingresos de las comunidades asentadas en las costas. Existe una fuerte presión en los recursos pesqueros, con artes de pesca poco selectivos como el trasmallo y la línea de anzuelo de mano, capturando individuos que no han presentado eventos reproductivos y pertenecientes a capturas incidentales y de descarte. Vacío de investigación: en el Pacífico colombiano no se ha explorado las relaciones espacio-temporales entre las capturas objetivo y descarte según las variables ambientales. Propósito del estudio: Evaluar la dinámica espacio-temporal de la captura por unidad de esfuerzo y la sustentabilidad de la pesca artesanal asociada a las variables ambientales en la bahía de Tumaco, Pacífico colombiano. Metodología: se realizaron cuatro muestreos a lo largo del año 2020 y 2021, dos en época seca y dos en época de lluvia con los artes de pesca trasmallo y línea de anzuelo de mano, en las áreas interna y externa, asimismo se realizaron muestras de variables físico-químicas. Resultados y conclusiones: dentro de la captura objetivo, las familias Ariidae y Sciaenidae fueron las más representativas, Pristigasteridae y Gerreidae en la captura incidental y Engraulidae y Cynoglosidae en el descarte. En anzuelo, 94.60% fue captura objetivo, 3.90% incidental y 1.48% perteneció al descarte, mientras que, en trasmallo, 49.07% fue descarte, 41.78% fue captura objetivo y 9.15% fue captura incidental. El trasmallo capturó individuos de menor tamaño (17.49 ± 4.26 cm), lo cual puede indicar que es un arte poco selectivo al no respetar las tallas mínimas de captura. La CPUE total fue mayor con el arte de pesca de anzuelo de mano (8.84 ± 5.42 kg h-1). Las variables salinidad, sólidos totales disueltos y transparencia presentaron una correlación negativa con la captura por unidad de esfuerzo total en el trasmallo, mientras con anzuelo presentaron una asociación positiva. Se recomienda regular el uso de trasmallo en el área interna de la bahía y en época de lluvias por capturar especies comerciales juveniles que se descartan.

Authors: Al-Sadawi Mohammed , Aslam Faisal , Henriques Matthew D. , Alsaiqali Mahmoud , Gier Chad , Kim Paul , Almasry Ibrahim , Singh Abhijeet , Fan Roger , Rashba Eric
Published: June 2023

Background: Colchicine is commonly used early after atrial
fibrillation (AF) ablation to reduce inflammation and reduce AF
recurrence, but there is limited long-term efficacy data.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of low dose colchicine use on
long-term AF recurrence after AF ablation. Methods: From 2013
to 2021, all AF ablations performed at a single tertiary care medical
center were analyzed for colchicine use, clinical and procedural
characteristics, and AF recurrence. The colchicine dose was 0.3-0.6 mg
once daily for 30 days. The primary outcome was AF recurrence, defined
as AF detection for more than 30 seconds after a three-month blanking
period. Propensity score matching (PSM, 1:1 match) was performed using
covariates that were significant predictors of AF recurrence in prior
studies. The minimum duration of follow-up was 6 months. Kaplan-Meier
analysis was conducted to assess time to AF recurrence in the entire
cohort and the PSM cohort. Results: The study population
consisted of 1568 AF ablations in 1412 patients (67% male, age 65 ± 7
years and mean follow up 34 ± 14 months); 78% of the patients received
colchicine. Colchicine use was associated with decreased AF recurrence
(HR 0.78, CI 0.63-0.96, p=0.022). After PSM there were 275 patients in
each group. AF recurrence was lower with colchicine (HR 0.71, CI
0.53-0.96, p=0.026). Conclusions: Low dose colchicine use was
associated with lower long-term AF recurrence after AF ablation. A
randomized, placebo-controlled trial is warranted to confirm if low dose
colchicine should be used routinely after AF ablation.

Published: June 2023

Distributed Denial of Service attacks is common attacks—DDoS plan to
limit the casual users from cracking the critical network resources.
Methods to find the DDoS attack come to light as an essential and hot
research issue. Therefore, the increment in network usage scale demands
more challenges to see the DDoS attack. Non-real time collection of
network traffic will make sincere complications inaccuracy. DDOS attack
detection, and efficiency. Lately, sketch data structures play an
excellent role in high-speed networks to suppress and combine network
traffic issues. However, the sketch data structure has issues rebuilding
the reverse keys that behave abnormally due to the reversible hash
function. To rectify the above difficulties, we include the Chinese
Remainder Theorem-based Reverse Sketching (CRTRS). However, Reverse
Sketching is not good at suppressing and combining heavy network
traffic, but it can easily detect abnormal keys. According to network
traffic records setup by CRTRS, we add the Modified Cumulative Sum
Quality Control Scheme (MCSQCS) that encourages the DDOS attack
detection. The enforcement of the proposed work with DDOS attack
detection has two kind’s different datasets. The result of the
experiments shows that it gives more accuracy and efficiency in
detecting DDOS attacks. Therefore, comparing other DDoS detecting
methods with the sketch data structure has fewer computational
complications. Improving the anomalous keys is the most critical
challenge in this proposed work.

Published: June 2023

Poyang Lake is an essential natural wetland in the Yangtze River basin
and plays a vital role in maintaining the ecosystem function and
ecological security in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze
River. However, the relative importance and spatial heterogeneity of the
impacts of human activities and land use changes on ecological security
needs to be further explored. Here, we analyzed the habitat quality
level around Poyang Lake in 2022 and explored the factors of habitat
quality change from a geographical perspective. The land use structure
changes around the Poyang Lake basin from 2000 to 2022 were
quantitatively analyzed, and then the relative importance and spatial
heterogeneity of each factor on ecological security changes were
investigated using geographic probes. The results show that (1) The
worst quality habitat (0–0.1) consists mainly of construction land
(1624.9 km2) with an area of 1634.64 km2; (2) Construction land
continues to increase with the most significant change, and the dynamic
land use attitude is 0.47. Grassland and mudflats have the greatest
decrease. The increase in cultivated land in different periods is mainly
due to the shift of water surface and forest land; (3) Wetland land use
change drivers are more influenced by the interaction of socioeconomic
factors. The explanatory degrees of the interaction between population
density and total year-end population and population density and
administrative area are greater than 0.84. The data are greater than the
explanatory degrees of every single factor, indicating that the land use
change is mainly coupled with population density, total year-end
population, and administrative area. These results reveal that human
activities influence the degradation of wetlands around the Poyang Lake
area. This study has significant reference value for coordinating
human–land relationships in Poyang Lake, optimizing land management
policy, and improving the sustainable development of cities
Breast Cancer Prediction Using Machine Learning With Feature Engineering
Authors: Abdulkader Hasan , AL-QAZZAZ Ali
Published: June 2023

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in
women, after lung cancer. While it is still a significant public health
issue, advances in screening, diagnosis, and treatment. Early detection
through regular mammograms and self-examinations can increase the
chances of successful treatment. Early recognition of breast cancer and
having received the proper treatment could decrease the risk of
mortality as survival becomes hard in advanced stages of the tumor’s
development. Using machine learning in medicine is important because it
aids specialists in making accurate diagnoses at an early stage. In this
paper, machine learning algorithms were trained using the Coimbra breast
cancer dataset (CBCD), comprising 116 patients, to diagnose breast
cancer. Four machine learning algorithms are used: Support Vector
Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and
Logistic Regression (LR). We proposed a model incorporating the results
of statistical analysis with feature engineering to improve the data.
Statistical analysis allowed us to create two new features and
consequently the accuracy is improved by 4.13%.
The result
accuracy of SVM, RF and KNN reaches 95.8%, while the accuracy of LR
algorithm got 75%. To the best of our knowledge, the achieved results
outperform all state-of-art.

Published: June 2023

Background: 67-kDa laminin receptor is a cell surface receptor for
laminin and polyphenols like EGCG. 67LR overexpressed in different
cancers. Polyphenols-induced activation of 67LR activates
Akt/eNOS/NO/cGMP/PKCδ pathways very well known for apoptotic signalling
and inhibits cell growth via PKA/PP2A activation, ultimately triggering
cancer cell death. The binding of EGCG to the Human laminin receptor
(67LR) upregulates Tollip expression, inhibits TLR4 signaling, and
prevents inflammation. Method: Protein-ligand docking was performed
considering Human laminin receptor (67LR) precursor (PDB ID - 3BCH) as
protein and 18 polyphenols as ligand using Autodock Vina 1.1.2. Result:
combining EGCG or other potent polyphenols with PDE5 inhibitors may
impart a rationale for the clinical efficiency of this formulation for
cancer therapeutics and 67LR is conceivably an absolute novel target for
cancer chemotherapy and treatment of inflammation. Discussion:
Developing the anticancer formulation of the anticancer drug, 67LR
inducer along with inhibitor of PDE5 and SET could exert strong
antitumor effects via the 67LR. It will reduce the dose of anticancer
drugs and adverse side effects.

Published: June 2023

Parasitoid wasps are major causes of mortality of many species,
resulting in host immune defences commonly being the target of adaptive
evolution, though such targets outside model species are poorly
understood. Here we compare the power of different molecular tests of
selection to provide such insights in novel species. We combined our
understanding of variation in immune defence capacity among three
closely related Galerucella leaf beetles with a shared parasitoid wasp,
with information on genomic targets of parasitoid attacks from exemplar
insect species. Based on this, we predicted that these genomic targets
would vary in their evolutionary history across three closely related
leaf beetle species, such that genomic targets would experience stronger
positive selection in the species with strongest immune response to
attack. Codon based tests revealed variation among species in positive
selection genome wide, and showed that parasitoid-relevant immune genes
experienced more positive selection in the species with the greatest
immunocompetence (G. pusilla), while almost no immune genes were under
positive selection in the species with the least immunocompetence (G.
calmariensis). Genome wide analyses of the haplotype frequency spectrum
also identified genes experiencing positive selection across the
species, though few were parasitoid-relevant immune genes and no species
was particularly enriched for them. Thus, our codon based test, which
summarizes all sweep events since the last common ancestor, found
results consistent with our a priori hypothesis, providing a series of
targets for future functional genomic study.

Published: June 2023

Aims Forest productivity may decrease with increasing stand age,
which may be related to a shift in the nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)
nutrient balance. However, it is unclear how the plantation nutrient
balance changes with stand age and how it affects plantation
productivity. Methods We experimented with increasing stand ages
(6-, 10-, 15-, 25-, 30-, and 34-year-old stands) in Castanopsis
hystrix plantations in southern China. Plant growth and the carbon (C),
N, and P dynamics were assessed at the ecosystem level
(leaf–litter–soil–microorganism). Results Increasing stand
ages reduced plantation productivity and leaf N:P ratios (lower leaf N
concentrations and stable leaf P concentrations). The reduced
productivity may be related to increased N consumption rather than
possible P limitations. Increasing stand ages increased N consumption
mainly through decreasing soil NO -N concentrations and microbial biomass without
altering plant N resorption, although enhanced N-acetylglucosaminidase,
cellobiohydrolase, and polyphenol oxidase activity might accelerate N
mineralization. Increased soil total P concentrations and microbial
biomass P rather than plant P resorption would support a larger P supply
for plants with increasing stand ages. Conclusions These results
suggest that increasing stand ages can contribute to N consumption
rather than elevate possible P limitations. Therefore, N fertilizer
management should receive attention to maintain the productivity of
C. hystrix plantations with increasing stand age.
CI CD adoption of Software Engineers
Authors: Manujapriya S.D.U
Published: June 2023

The adoption of software engineers in Sri Lanka to continuous
integration and continuous delivery has been researched under three main
factors, Resistance to change, Knowledge gap and Lack of Interest.
Google form based Questionnaire, used as a research instrument where it
captured the responses from selected software engineers under different
profession levels in software engineering. Hypothetically it has built
some pre-research criterias and based on the response of the research it
has been analyzed with hypothetic pre-research criterias. The research
reveals that Resistance to change/inertia has a high degree of impact on
CI CD adoption of the software engineers in Sri Lanka and also software
engineers have interest in adopting CI CD even if they have a certain
knowledge gap.

Published: June 2023

Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary
liver cancer. Liver cancer is one of the commonest cancers worldwide in
terms of incidence and mortality. Viral hepatitis, alcohol abuse, and
autoimmune hepatitis are the common causes of HCC. Usually patients
present at advanced stages where curative treatment is no longer
possible. This study aims to analyze the demographic, clinical, and
radiological profiles and treatment patterns of HCC patients. Methods We
studied patients with HCC from March 2020 to August 2022 and analyzed
their risk factors, clinical characteristics, and treatment modalities.
Patients with at least one clinical, radiological, or biochemical
evidence of HCC were considered for the study. Data were collected using
predetermined proformas. Results Our study included 54 patients with a
mean age of 57.17 years, and male: female ratio of 5:1. Of them, 68.52%
consumed alcohol and 74.07% smoked cigarettes. At the time of
diagnosis, 88.89% of them were symptomatic, weight loss (64.81%) being
the most common symptom. The majority of the participants belonged to
Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) terminal stage (38.89%) and had
more than three liver lesions (35.19%) involving the right lobe
(55.56%). Only four patients underwent curative surgical resection. As
most were in the terminal stage (BCLC D), supportive care was provided.
Conclusion Alcohol-related liver cirrhosis is the most common cause of
HCC in Nepal. Despite the significant progress in diagnostic methods,
most of the patients are diagnosed at advanced and terminal stages.
These patients are unsuitable for curative treatment and are treated
with supportive methods. Keywords Autoimmune hepatitis, hepatitis,
hepatocellular carcinoma, treatment.
Characterization of lemna minor/apricot kernel shell/monterey pinecone/almond shell carbons
Authors: Olam Mikail
Published: June 2023

Lemna minor (LM), apricot kernel shell (AKS), monterey pinecone (MP) and
almond shell (AS) wastes were directly used by carbonizing together to
reduce costs and increase carbon yields. They were carbonized
alone/together at 800°C and 90 min, and their carbonization yields,
adsorption capacities, physical and chemical properties were
investigated. In EDX analysis, LM, AKS, AS and MP biomasses contain many
inorganic substances. According to XRD analysis, the structure of LM is
semi-crystalline and the others are amorphous. According to UV, XRD and
SEM analysis, the co-carbonization process promoted both crystallinity
and formation of mesopore/micropore structures. It also increased the
carbonization yields. The highest carbonization yield and the highest
crystal violet (CV) removal were in the co-carbonization of LM and AS
with 38% and 94%, respectively. They can be used as an alternative to
existing commercial products due to their cost-effective and high
adsorption capacity.
What Makes a Liberal Feminist? Identifying Predictors of Women's and Men's Liberal Feminist Ideology
Authors: Russell Brenda , Oswald Debra , Cotter MaryKate
Published: June 2023

In the wake of the #Metoo movement, liberal feminism has garnered the
spotlight on equal rights for women. However, what factors contribute to
men and women developing liberal feminist ideologies? This is important
to understand as this ideology is predictive of support for political
and social policies that are currently under debate in the United
States. In this survey study (149 heterosexual men and 233 heterosexual
women) we examined attitudinal and ideological variables that underlie
liberal feminist ideology. The results of this study indicate that men
scored significantly lower on liberal feminist ideology and
significantly higher on traditional attitudes toward women, hostile and
benevolent sexism, gender-specific justification, rape myths and
conservative political affiliation compared to women. Furthermore,
traditional attitudes toward women, hostile and benevolent sexism,
gender-specific justification, rape myths, political leanings, and
gender accounted for almost 70 percent of the variance in liberal
feminist ideology. Participant gender did not moderate the regression
analyses, suggesting that men and women are influenced similarly in
determining what attitudes predict liberal feminist ideologies.
Implications for support for public policy are addressed.
Credit, debt and money as social institutions of trust
Authors: Perunovic Andrea
Published: June 2023

While the notions of credit, debt and money are today almost exclusively
associated with economic discourse, their semantic fields prove to be
significantly wider and more complex. This article seeks to restore the
repressed meanings of these three notions. Its aim consists of a
deconstruction of the dominant economic narratives on credit, debt, money
and trust, that would show that these concepts should be primarily
considered as social, rather than solely economic institutions. Therefore,
in the introduction we will look at the etymology of the word credit and
disclose its semantic proximity with magic as a social practice.
Furthermore, the first section will examine the intrinsic relation between
debt and credit, departing from Marcel H?naff?s three types of symbolic debt
and exposing how these shape the financial credit in neoliberal capitalism
and install the creditor-debtor relation (such as Maurizio Lazzarato
describes it) as predominant at all levels of society. The second section
shows how relations of credit and debt crystallize in the notion of money:
firstly by exposing some major historical and anthropological insights about
money; moreover, by considering money from an onto-axiological point of view
as the knot in which all social relations of trust culminate; and finally,
by relating the three different types of trust in money, proposed by French
heterodox economists Michel Aglietta and Andr? Orl?an, to the three forms of
symbolic debt, thus showing how credit, debt and money are fundamentally
anchored in social relations.
