Published: November 2021

The insects are known to be the most successful and diverse animals on earth. Variability of nocturnal insects in Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University campus was recorded by using the light trap method for collection of insect. This trap consists of the light source and a big white sheet. The sheet was hung on the pillars. Insects were attracted to the light source settled on the sheet. The second sheet was also spread on the ground to catch the insect that fall. Collected insect in the killing bottle by beating tray aspirator, and forceps. Lightning hours were set for seven hours. During this study, total 6 orders of species of insects are found are Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, and Hymenoptera, insects belonging to different families was collected in university campus by using light trapping methods respectively and moderate species diversity were observed. The abundance of species of most night insect in the study area maybe due to the loss of their natural habitat. This may be the virtue of anthropogenic activity such as fragmentation of habitat, replacement of the habitat for humane purpose or may be other due reasons that eventually lead to the decline of species diversity.

Published: November 2021

Background: COVID-19 is a pandemic, which covered to all over the world and started the end of 2019. COVID-19 spreading rapidly from person to person and from one environment to another environment. In the current situation the entire world is passing through a very critical situation and medical services almost collapse due to the span of COVID-19. The virus is directly threatening to human being's life and attack to their nervous system, collapse lungs, breathing problems and damage other parts of the body system. The researcher build a predictive model using a Gaussian approach to find out the current status of COVID-19 and its future prediction. This predictive model is very helpful for countries and before timely they can manage their health related services, make a change in their decision making policy to stop COVID-19 spreading.
Method: in this research paper the researcher builds a predicting model using real time analytics to measure the intensity of spreading COVID-19 in major concern countries. The main objective of this research article to predict the rate of spreading COVID-19 cases, visualize, and represent the future trends of COVID-19 cases. For the predictive analysis the researcher used the Gaussian Prediction model, time series analysis, exploratory data analysis, and K-means clustering. The researcher used the parameters such as rate of spreading, slow down speed, a sudden change in rate, prediction of the number of cases and differences in mortality rate.
The results: The researcher discussed the weekly, monthly rate of spreading COVID-19 cases and predicted how it covered the world entire populations. The predictive model is very helpful to the countries where a number of cases are rapidly spreading and showing the future trends whether it is decreasing or increasing ratio. The countries can manage their health related services and other possible resources to stop the COVID-19 cases in their countries. If the prediction is unknown that situation is horrible for the entire world.
Conclusion: Finally the researcher concluded that the predictive model of COVID-19 cases has significant impact to all over countries to show the future spreading trends, the accuracy level of this predictive model is 92% which is verified by using Gaussian approach. In some cases prediction might be unfavorable to handle the health care industries that are only %8 chances. The researcher giving the assurance the developed predictive model is more reliable and efficient to predict the COVID-19 case and its future trends, so the countries and their health related unit can manage the health related services in rapid manner.

Published: November 2021

The sorghum association panel was evaluated for grain mold severity, seed weight, and germination rate. The 377 accessions were inoculated with Alternaria alternata alone, a mixture of A. alternata, Fusarium thapsinum, and Curvularia lunata, and untreated water-sprayed control during 2010, 2013-2015 growing seasons at the Texas AgriLife Research Farm, Burleson County, Texas. Each accession was evaluated at least twice. Across accessions, Spearman’s rank correlation was performed for non-parametric correlation analysis for grain mold severity, seed weight, and germination rate. There were significant negative correlations between grain mold severity with seed weight and germination rate for the individual treatment and when combined. A significant positive correlation between seed weight and germination rate was observed. The results indicated that higher grain mold severity reduces both sorghum seed weight and germination rate whether deliberately inoculated with fungal pathogens or naturally infected. It can be argued that correlations from this study were more robust due to a large number of accessions from all major sorghum races used and may represent the true association among the three parameters for this pathosystem. Thus, the use of grain mold-resistant lines, resulting in sound seeds and higher germination rates is recommended.

Philosophy of Islamic Values and Life: A Review of the Methodology of Cultivating Islamic Values Towards Modern Culture
Authors: Supriyatno Triyo , El-Aribi Cyril Musaddad Abbud , Muntakhib Ahmad , Taruna Mulyani Mudis
Published: November 2021

There is no separate discipline of ethics in Islam, and the comparative importance of reason and revelation in determining moral values is open to debate. For most Muslims, what is considered halāl (permitted) and harām (forbidden) in Islam is understood in terms of what God defines as right and good. There are three main kinds of values: (a) akhlāq, which refers to the duties and responsibilities set out in the shari‘ah and in Islamic teaching generally; (b) adab, which refers to the manners associated with good breeding; and (c) the qualities of character possessed by a good Muslim, following the example of the Prophet Muhammad. Among the main differences between Islamic and western morality is the emphasis on timeless religious principles, the role of the law in enforcing morality, the different understanding of rights, the rejection of moral autonomy as a goal of moral education, and the stress on reward in the Hereafter as a motivator of moral behavior. An Islamic life system cannot be conveyed only by using verbal suggestions, verbal warnings but also necessary means that can form a complete cultural network. In this regard, intense dialogue with various existing values ​​is needed to bring about a paradigm shift in thinking in the form of symbols that can be applied in local cultural life. The method of cultivating Islamic values ​​demands conditions for improving the quality and performance of Muslim humans who have these values. Islamic values ​​that are properly understood will function as a compass for the direction where and how to live a modern life full of changes in values. Islamic values ​​will still play an important role in the future, especially in providing a moral foundation for the development of science and technology. Religious teachings must be brought closer to the context of modernity.

Authors: Chowdhury Tanzeem Sabina , Chowdhury TA
Published: November 2021

Background: Obesity has almost doubled worldwide in the last 50 years and a great portion of these obese population are young adults. It has been proved that increased body weight has a negative correlation with female fertility. Recent studies show there has been decreasing semen quality with concurrent increase in BMI of the male partner. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of obesity on sperm parameters among the male partners of the infertile couples from an infertility management center in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in Infertility Management Center, a tertiary center for infertility management and IVF in Dhaka, Bangladesh from August to October 2016. A total of 225 men presented for infertility evaluation during this period underwent BMI calculation and semen analysis.

Result: Out of 225 male partners, about two third (65.8%) belonged to age 31 to 40 years.Majority (44.4%) of the patients were overweight (25-29.9 kg/m2). The mean total sperm count was found to be 54.4+53.2 million/mL with a range from 0 to 280 million/m. The mean total motility of sperms was found to be 36.8+23.4 percent with a range from 0 to 80 percent. The mean normal morphology was found to be 42.0+22.1 % with a range of 0 to 80 percent. Regression analysis showed no correlation (r=0.003; p=0.966) between BMI and total sperm concentration but showed negative correlation with total motility (r=0.073;p=0.0277) and morphology of sperm (r=0.088; p=0.186).

Conclusion: There was a negative correlation between sperm motility and morphology with higher BMI among male partners of couples seeking fertility treatment. So, male partners along with their female counterparts should be counseled about the importance of maintaining an ideal BMI for better fertility outcome.

Published: November 2021

The various malignant forms of epithelial tumors of the ovary, in practice, are usually grouped together as ovarian adenocarcinoma. These tumors tends to occur in women aged 45-60 years and are commonly asymptomatic until they are achieved a considerable bulk: most common complaints are of increasing abdominal girth, lower abdominal pain or discomfort and the presence of pelvic mass. Urinary symptoms due to pressure on bladder are quite frequent while disturbance of menstrual cycle or post-menopausal bleeding are unusual. Here we present a case of a 60 years old postmenopausal lady with the complaints of post-menopousal bleeding, and heaviness & lump in the lower abdomen. She was clinically diagnosed as a case of ovarian tumor (ovarian malignancy) & went through laparotomy followed by surgical staging. Then TAH with BSO with infracolicomentectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy was done. Histopathology revealed serous cyst adenocarcinoma (left ovary) without any metastasis to the opposite ovary or any other organs. In our case one of the most common ovarian neoplasm presented with the rarest symptom made the case interesting to report.

Published: November 2021

Objectives: Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in pregnancy necessitates management of two patients, the mother and the newborn. Complications like maternal bleeding, fetal and neonatal thrombocytopenia demands appropriate and timely therapy. This prospective observational study was designed to explore and summarize the current approach to the investigation, diagnosis, management and outcome of ITP in pregnancy.
Materials and Methods: Women with ITP admitted in the Fetomaternal Medicine Department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) from 2009 -2017, were included in the study. Total number of high risk pregnancy during that period were 7704 among them 20 cases were pregnancy with Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). Patients were managed under joint supervision of the fetomaternal medicine specialist and the hematologist. Prednisolone was considered as a first line drug in management protocol. Platelet transfusion was considered if there were symptoms or count <20X109/L at any stage of pregnancy or <50 X109 / L in late pregnancy without symptoms. Platelet count of newborn was performed at birth and repeated on day four and count<150X109/L was considered as neonatal thrombocytopenia.
Results: Frequency of ITP among high risk patients was found 2.5/1000 live birth, most were preexisting (75%). Almost all cases (95%) were treated with prednisolone. Commonest clinical presentations were gum bleeding (70 %) and purpuric rashes (60%). Though during pregnancy, severe thrombocytopenia (<50 X109/L) was found in 7 patients (35%) but none was at the time of delivery, as drugs and/or platelet transfusion was considered to make delivery process safe. Platelet transfusion needed in 77.7% cases in a range of 1-75 units. Primary PPH noted in 3 cases (17%), increased bleeding during surgery in 5 patients (33%) and one patient needed ICU support. Neonatal thrombocytopenia noted in 5 cases (28%). Though 2 of the neonates needed NICU admission but none needed platelet transfusion and all the babies were discharged healthy.
Conclusion: This study documents that pregnancy with ITP need close monitoring, require agents to raise the platelet count and repeated platelet transfusion to maintain reasonable safe platelet count. There are chances of PPH, capillary oozing during surgery. However good outcome is possible for most women, fetus and neonates with appropriate and timely therapy.

Authors: Kang Byung-Jun , Park Jin-Woo , Geum Sang-Yen , Kim Un-Kyung , Shin Seung-Heon , Ye Mi-Kyung
Published: November 2021

Background and Objectives Several studies have shown that three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TAS2R38 gene demonstrate a strong association with the ability to sense the bitter taste of phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) in. We have previously reported about TAS2R38 genotypes in normal volunteers. The aim of this study was to investigate the role TAS2R38 gene plays in taste disorder by examining SNPs in the TAS2R38 gene in taste disorder patients.Subjects and Method Ninety-four patients with taste dysfunction from multiple etiologies were enrolled. The genotypes were defined by identifying SNPs on the TAS2R38 gene. The proportion of different TAS2R38 genotypes in the group was compared with that in the normal volunteers of our previous study. The whole mouth taste threshold tests were performed and the thresholds were compared among the three different genotypic groups.Results The proportion of each diplotype in taste disorder patients were as follows: PAV/ PAV 36.2% (34/94), PAV/AVI 34.0% (32/94), and AVI/AVI 29.8% (28/94). The proportion of AVI/AVI type was higher in the group than in the normal volunteers (p=0.031). The detection and recognition thresholds of all four basic tastes were increased in the order of PAV/PAV, PAV/AVI, and AVI/AVI genotypes.Conclusion The proportion of AVI/AVI homozygous was significantly higher in taste disorder patients than in the normal volunteers. Our findings suggest that the genotypes of TAS2R38 may represent one of the risk factors responsible for the development of taste disorders.

Authors: Park Young Min
Published: November 2021

This paper analyzed previous research data to identify the most important issues to be considered during treatment of parotid gland cancer (PGC) and reviewed recent advancements in techniques in parotid surgery. For successful treatment of PGC, a preoperative surgical plan should be designed with consideration of the histologic characteristics and anatomical complexity of the tumor, and the functional and anatomical integrity of the facial nerve should be carefully inspected during surgery and damage to the nerve minimized. The need for adjuvant radiotherapy should be determined based on intraoperative findings and pathologic findings of the specimen after surgery. To optimize treatment outcomes for PGC, the extent of surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy should be decided according to histologic characteristics and risk stratification.

Authors: Galvez Barbara Lyn , Kongsuwan Waraporn , Schoenhofer Savina O. , Hatthakit Urai
Published: November 2021

Background: Understanding the true world of children needs a special method. Using aesthetic expressions through artworks with reflections assists nurse researchers in exploring children’s feelings, thoughts, and behaviors in relation to their health and well-being.
Objective: This article focuses on the use of aesthetic expressions as innovative data sources in a study of the lived worlds of children experiencing advanced cancer.
Method: The use of aesthetic expressions in Gadamerian hermeneutic phenomenology and aesthetics, by means of van Manen’s approach using draw and write, is examined as a suitable approach in a study of the lived worlds of children experiencing advanced cancer.
Results: The aesthetic expressions through the Draw-and-Write method of data generation were well-suited to a hermeneutic phenomenological study involving the group of Filipino children living with advanced cancer. The children drew images and figures of themselves, their families, classmates, friends, and teachers in several places and events during the series of two days. The drawings showed their facial expressions, home, parents, hospital stay, school activities, extracurricular activities, and other daily activities.
Conclusion: Aesthetic expression linked to art and connected to human experience drew the participants into different realms and expanded their perceptual capacities so that the fullness of the meaning of the experience was appreciated. The understanding of the experience through aesthetic expression provided sensitivity to and awareness of the variation of experience among children with advanced cancer. It is hoped that this paper can contribute to an understanding of aesthetic expressions as pathways to understanding and support health professionals as they embark on their goal of creating or restoring a comfortable relationship with children.
Rendelői, felügyelet nélküli automata vérnyomásmérés és rendelői, klasszikus automata vérnyomásmérés összehasonlítása hypertonia-szakrendelésen

Published: November 2021

A precíz vérnyomásmérés kulcsfontosságú előfeltétele a hatékony vérnyomáskezelésnek magasvérnyomás-betegségben. A klasszikus rendelői vérnyomásmérések jól ismert korlátainak a kiküszöbölésére jelenthet egy megoldást az úgynevezett felügyelet nélküli automata rendelői vérnyomásmérés módszere. A Szegedi Tudományegyetem Nephrologia-Hypertonia Centrum egyik hypertonia-szakrendelésén 52, soron következő reguláris kontrollra érkező betegnél orvos által egy MIT5 automata készülékkel, majd pedig egy külön szobában felügyelet nélkül, a beteg által önállóan indítva egy Hem-907 készülékkel háromhárom vérnyomásmérés történt egy-egy perc időközzel. Az összehasonlításba bevontuk a betegek otthoni vérnyomásait is, amit az általuk vezetett otthoni naplók alapján rögzítettünk. Eredményeink alapján a MIT5 készülékkel mért vérnyomásértékek voltak a legmagasabbak a három modalitás közül, mind a szisztolés, mind a diasztolés értékek tekintetében. Az otthoni átlag szisztolés vérnyomáshoz képest a Hem-907 készülékkel nem, de a MIT5 készülékkel szignifikánsan magasabbak a rendelői értékek (p=0,004). A MIT5 készülékkel mért diasztolés értékek a Hem-907-hez képest is (p<0,001) és az otthoni mérésekhez képest is (p=0,001) szignifikánsan magasabbak voltak. A betegek 49%-ának a MIT5 és a Hem-907 készülékkel is céltartományban volt a vérnyomása, 29%-nak pedig mindkét módszerrel céltartomány felett. Ha a vizsgálat során minden betegnél csak egy mérés történt volna, sokkal nagyobb arányban lennének hypertoniatartományú értékek az adatok között. Eredményeink támogatják a felügyelet nélküli automata rendelői vérnyomásmérés alkalmazását a mindennapi gyakorlatban. Az, hogy ehhez a Hem-907 vagy más készüléket kell-e használni, az más kérdés.

A hypertensio jelentősége a szív- és érrendszeri történések egyik fő kockázati tényezőjeként megkérdőjelezhetetlen. Az életkor és társbetegségek szerint differenciált célvérnyomásértékek elérésével a cardiovascularis történések rizikója szignifikánsan csökkenthető. Korántsem közömbös azonban, hogy az így megszerzett többletéletéveket a beteg milyen életminőségben tölti el. Ez számos társdiszciplína területét érintő komplex kérdéskör, de ezek egyik legfontosabbika a szellemi egészség, a kognitív funkciók megőrzése, a demencia elkerülése. A magas vérnyomás az artériák simaizomzatának károsításával, az érelmeszesedés gyorsításával rontja a célszervek, így az agy vérellátását is, amely a tenzió mértékével arányosan növeli a mentális hanyatlás kockázatát, gyakoriságát, súlyosságát. Ennek mind az egyén, mind a család, mind a társadalom egésze szempontjából komoly jelentősége van. Sajátos ellentmondás, hogy a vérnyomás céltartományba kezelése nem jelenti automatikusan a kognitív funkciók megőrzését, a demencia kockázatának elkerülését. Nagy vizsgálatok metaanalízisei kimutatták, hogy az egyes antihypertensivum hatástani csoportok között e tekintetben is különbségek igazolódtak. Úgy tűnik, hogy a renin-angiotenzin rendszer gátlóinak és a dihidropiridin-kalcium antagonistáknak e vonatkozásban prioritása van. A szerzők áttekintést adnak a hypertensio és a mentális képességek kapcsolatáról, az irodalom áttekintésével a vérnyomáscsökkentő kezelés hatásairól, különös tekintettel a kognitív funkciókra és a demenciára kifejtett hatásokra.

Illegal actions in the forest industry have a significant impact on national economic security, creating economic, environmental and social threats. In this regard, the authors conducted a study of the specifics of illegal activities regarding wood. Based on the analysis of statistical data on the number of crimes classified at the legislative level as ecological and illegal logging, the authors come to the following conclusion. The general trend to reduce the number of environmental crimes does not have a significant impact on the formation of a trend line for the number of crimes by the type of «illegal logging» under Art. 260 of the Criminal Code, the number of which remains at the level of 15 years ago. This indicates the sustainability of the threat to industry economic security. In addition, on the basis of an analysis of existing legislation and also the practice of compensation for damage from illegal actions related to logging, an organizational and economic mechanism for identifying and eliminating the consequences of illegal activities in the forest was developed and proposed, the difference of which is the application of an integrated approach to wood verification and the organization of interagency cooperation in the formation and use of data in the EGAIS-forest system at the territorial level.

Design and Analysis of an Active Disturbance Rejection Robust Adaptive Control System for Electromechanical Actuator
Authors: Chen Qinan , Chen Hui , Zhu Deming , Li Linjie
Published: November 2021

Airline electromechanical actuators (EMAs), on the task of controlling flight surfaces, hold a great promise with the development of more- and all-electric aircraft. Notwithstanding, the deficiencies in both robustness and adaptability of control algorithms prevent EMAs from extensive use. However, the state-of-the-art control schemes fail to precisely compensate the system nonlinear uncertainties of servo control. In this paper, from the innovation point of view, we tend to put forward the foundation of devising an active disturbance rejection robust adaptive control (ADRRAC) strategy, whose main purpose is to deal with the position servo control of EMA. Specifically, an adaptive control law is designed and deployed for resolving not only the nonlinear disturbance, but also the parameter uncertainties. In addition, an extended disturbance estimator is employed to estimate the external disturbance and thus eliminate its impact. The proposed controlling algorithm is deemed best able to address the external disturbance based on the nonlinear uncertainty compensation. With the input parameters and control commands, the ADRRAC strategy maintains servo system stability while approaching the controlling target. Following the algorithm description, a proof of the controlling stability of ADRRAC strategy is presented in detail as well. Experiments on a variety of tracking tasks are conducted on a prototype of an EMA to investigate the working performance of the proposed control strategy. The experimental outcomes are reported, which verify the effectiveness of the ADRRAC strategy, compared to widely applied control strategies. According to the data analysis results, our controller is capable of obtaining an even faster system response, a higher tracking accuracy and a more stable system state.
Optimal Guidance Law with Impact-Angle Constraint and Acceleration Limit for Exo-Atmospheric Interception
Authors: Zhao Shilei , Chen Wanchun , Yang Liang
Published: November 2021

This paper aims to develop an optimal guidance law for exo-atmospheric interception, in which impact-angle constraint and acceleration limit are considered. Firstly, an optimal control problem with constraints on terminal miss and impact-angle is formulated, in which the control energy performance index is weighted by a power function of the time-to-go. The closed-loop guidance command, which is expressed as a linear combination of zero-effort miss distance and the zero-effort angle error, is derived using a traditional order reduction transformation. Then, an analytical solution to the maximal acceleration during the flight is obtained by analyzing the boundary points and critical points of the guidance command curve. It is found that the maximal acceleration is a function of the weighted gain in the performance index. Therefore, the maximal acceleration can be efficiently limited by using the variable weighted gain. Furthermore, the relationship between the total control energy and the weighted gain is studied. As a result, a systematic method is proposed for selecting the weighted gain so as to meet the constraint of the acceleration while the total control energy is minimal. Nonlinear simulations have been carried out to test the performance of the proposed method. The results show that this method performs well in intercepting the maneuvering target with a negligible miss distance and intercept angle error. And it can tolerate a stricter acceleration limit in comparison with the typical method.

Buckwheat is an economically important gluten free cereal, and it is a good source of protein, fiber, and energy. The field experiments with buckwheat variety “Novosadska” were set in two experimental years in Pancevo, Serbia. The aim of this study was to determine the most optimal technology for buckwheat production. The study aims were to investigate the effects of (1) row spacing: RS1-25 cm and RS2-50 cm; (2) nutrition variants: (N1) 0 kg ha−1 NPK; (N2) NPK 30 kg ha−1; (N3) NPK 60 kg ha−1; and (N4) NPK 90 kg ha−1; (3) environment: Y1-2018 and Y2-2019; and their interactions on the plant height (PH), number of lateral branches (NoLB), mass of seeds per plant (MSP), number of seeds per plant (NoSP), buckwheat grain yield (GY); and (4) the correlations among these traits. All tested parameters of buckwheat significantly varied across row spacing, environment, and nutrition. The average grain yield in the row spacing, RD1-25 cm, was significantly higher than in the wider spacing, RD2-50 cm, and in 2018 than 2019 as well as with the nutrition NPK applied in the amount of 90 kg ha−1 in relation with all the other nutrition variants. All the studied agronomic traits were positively and strongly correlated with GY.
Age-Dependent Intestinal Repair: Implications for Foals with Severe Colic
Authors: Erwin Sara J. , Blikslager Anthony T. , Ziegler Amanda L.
Published: November 2021

Colic is a leading cause of death in horses, with the most fatal form being strangulating obstruction which directly damages the intestinal barrier. Following surgical intervention, it is imperative that the intestinal barrier rapidly repairs to prevent translocation of gut bacteria and their products and ensure survival of the patient. Age-related disparities in survival have been noted in many species, including horses, humans, and pigs, with younger patients suffering poorer clinical outcomes. Maintenance and repair of the intestinal barrier is regulated by a complex mucosal microenvironment, of which the ENS, and particularly a developing network of subepithelial enteric glial cells, may be of particular importance in neonates with colic. Postnatal development of an immature enteric glial cell network is thought to be driven by the microbial colonization of the gut and therefore modulated by diet-influenced changes in bacterial populations early in life. Here, we review the current understanding of the roles of the gut microbiome, nutrition, stress, and the ENS in maturation of intestinal repair mechanisms after foaling and how this may influence age-dependent outcomes in equine colic cases.
