O DIREITO À MORADIA E A POLÍTICA PÚBLICA HABITACIONAL NO ESTUDO DE CASO DA ADPF 828
Authors: Silva Monize Fonseca
Published: November 2022

O estudo de caso da Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental (ADPF) 828 objetiva investigar o direito à moradia e a política pública habitacional no contexto da pandemia da Covid-19 no Brasil. Restou demonstrado que a violação ao direito constitucional fundamental à moradia impacta todo o rol de direitos fundamentais expressamente contidos na Constituição. Assim, está evidente que quem não tem onde ficar, não tem como preservar sua vida e sua saúde. A controvérsia jurídica identificada foi quanto à proteção ao direito de propriedade em contraposição ao direito à moradia. Ainda, se o direito à moradia é um direito autônomo. Além disso, ao tratar da temática da função social da propriedade, constatou-se que essa premissa não está realmente comprometida com as obrigações sociais. Ademais, restou nítido que no Brasil é imprescindível abordar a história do país para solucionar a política habitacional com enfrentamento ao racismo fundiário. Por meio da análise da evolução jurisprudencial, abordou-se a admissibilidade da arguição de preceito fundamental como meio judicial adequado para tratar do tema.

DESPATRIMONIALIZAÇÃO À LUZ DO DIREITO DAS OBRIGAÇÕES E SUA REPERCUSSIO QUANTO AO INSTITUTO PAGAMENTO
Authors: Miranda Filho Juventino Gomes de
Published: November 2022

No artigo discute-se o tema da despatrimonialização no Direito das Obrigações. Os princípios canônicos da Obrigação e as ideias da patrimonialização e despatrimonialização do Direito obrigacional apresentam-se como discussões teóricas de grande importância histórica, chegando até a contemporaneidade. Também o dano Extrapatrimonial é investigado da perspectiva histórica assim como o exame do teor pecuniário da prestação. Outrossim, vislumbra-se um direito novo que ruma à “era dos estatutos”, cuja influência à exegese civilística é indiscutível. No texto defende-se um direito civil novo, que a ótica individualista, amparada por leis especiais e extravagantes, desagua em legislação de emergência, sem incidência direta no Código Civil Brasileiro. Abre-se, assim, à "era dos estatutos", que passaram a influenciar a exegese civilística, repleta de socialidade e, evolutivamente, circundada de polissistemia, agasalhadora dos chamados microssistemas.
SmartLTM: Smart Larger-Than-Memory Storage for Hybrid Database Systems
Authors: Amora Paulo R. P. , Teixeira Elvis M. , Praciano Francisco D. B. S. , Machado Javam C.
Published: November 2022

Main-memory DBMS can offer hybrid and evolving storage architectures, instead of the traditional row or column storage layouts. Even if RAM is affordable nowadays, it is still a limited resource concerning available storage space in comparison to conventional storage devices. Due to this space restriction, techniques that leverage a trade-off between storage and query performance were developed and should be applied to data that is not frequently accessed or updated. This work proposes SmartLTM, a data eviction mechanism that considers the decisions previously taken by the DBMS in optimizing data storage according to query workload. We discuss how to migrate data, access it and the main differences between our approach and a row-based one. We also analyze the behavior of our solution in different storage media. Experiments show that cold data access with SmartLTM incurs an acceptable 17% of throughput loss, against 26% of the row-based one, while retrieving only half of the data to answer queries.

Published: November 2022

O eletrocardiograma (ECG) é um exame bastante difundido na área cardiologia, devido ao fato de ser um procedimento simples, de baixo custo e não-invasivo. O seu estudo permite que doenças e anomalias cardíacas possam ser detectadas por especialistas da área. Contudo, os dados que compõem ou que podem ser extraídos dos sinais ECG são bastante complexos, heterogêneos e não seguem uma única padronização. Neste contexto, este trabalho propõe uma abordagem, denominada LinkedECG, para a extração de parâmetros decorrentes do processamento do sinal, integração e publicação de dados de ECG, seguindo os principais padrões para o compartilhamento de dados abertos na Web. A metodologia proposta permite que dados extraídos de um conjunto de sinais coletados e/ou disponíveis em bases de dados publicas sejam integrados e publicados, de forma a oferecer suporte, no próprio ambiente Web, a consultas complexas, execução de algoritmos de mineração, além de possibilitar a colaboração entre especialistas.

Published: November 2022

A tarefa de imputação de dados é um importante desafio enfrentado pelos cientistas de dados. Nesse contexto, torna-se imperativo dispor-se de técnicas de imputação que melhorem a qualidade do dado preenchido. Valer-se tanto de técnicas de aprendizado de máquina quanto de variações do processo clássico de imputação pode tornar possível a melhora da qualidade dos dados imputados. Assim, este artigo tem por propósito avaliar o impacto da utilização do algoritmo dos k-vizinhos mais próximos frente ao uso da média no processo de imputação global bem como explorar o uso da técnica de imputação hot-deck com o algoritmo de agrupamento k-Means e a imputação com k-NN. Os resultados revelam interessante redução da margem de erro obtida na simulação em três bases de dados com diferentes características.
A Distributed System for SearchOnMath Based on the Microsoft BizSpark Program
Authors: Oliveira Ricardo M. , Gonzaga Flavio B. , Barbosa Valmir C. , Xexéo Geraldo B.
Published: November 2022

Mathematical information retrieval is a relatively new area, so the first search tools capable of retrieving mathematical formulas began to appear only a few years ago. The proposals made public so far mostly implement searches on internal university databases, small sets of scientific papers, or Wikipedia in English. As such, only modest computing power is required. In this context, SearchOnMath has emerged as a pioneering tool in that it indexes several different databases and is compatible with several mathematical representation languages. Given the significantly greater number of formulas it handles, a distributed system becomes necessary to support it. The present study is based on the Microsoft BizSpark program and has aimed, for 38 different distributed-system scenarios, to pinpoint the one affording the best response times when searching the SearchOnMath databases for a collection of 120 formulas.

Používáte Webarchiv? Průzkum potřeb uživatelů českého webového archivu
Authors: Haškovcová Marie , Svoboda Luboš , Hrdličková Markéta
Published: November 2022

Účel – Cílem dotazníkového šetření bylo zmapovat povědomí akademické sféry o existenci a využití webových archivů, zjistit, zda badatelé s daty webových archivů pracují a jak by je případně chtěli ve svých výzkumech používat. Závěry výzkumné studie budou sloužit jako podklad pro koncipování dalších výzkumných činností Národní knihovny ČR.

Design/metodologie/přístup – Pro zjištění potřeb uživatelů webových archivů byla zvolena metoda kvantitativního dotazníkového průzkumu. Vzniku dotazníku předcházela rešerše zabývající se průzkumy uživatelských potřeb v zahraničí a vymezení cílové skupiny. Průzkumu se účastnili vědci, kteří mají zkušenosti s webovými archivy, i ti, kteří se s nimi dosud nesetkali. Otázky byly strukturovány do několika oblastí zaměřených na to, kdo jsou respondenti, jaké mají povědomí o webových archivech, dále jsme se ptali na způsob a záměr používání webového archivu a na datovou gramotnost. S žádostí o distribuci dotazníku co nejširšímu okruhu respondentů z oblasti akademické sféry byly cíleně osloveny především univerzity a vysoké školy, veřejné výzkumné instituce, krajské a vědecké knihovny a členské knihovny Asociace vysokoškolských knihoven. Zpracováno a vyhodnoceno bylo všech 146 odpovědí.

Výsledky – Studie představuje výsledky v českém prostředí jedinečného průzkumu. Shrnuje obecné informace o respondentech, o jejich povědomí o webových archivech a jejich využití, o zkušenostech s prací s archivními daty i o konkrétních požadavcích na český Webarchiv. Poznatky zasazuje do kontextu zahraničních výzkumů potřeb uživatelů webových archivů a naznačuje další možnosti výzkumu těchto archivních dat.

Originalita/hodnota – Průzkum uživatelských potřeb formou rozsáhlého dotazníkového šetření, které umožnilo zmapovat používání webových archivů, se v českém prostředí uskutečnil poprvé. Přestože se webový archiv Národní knihovny ČR průběžně zabývá tím, jak může v rámci legislativy svá data a služby poskytovat uživatelům, výstupy z dotazníkového šetření poskytly unikátní poklad pro další vývoj služeb a funkcionalit.

Možnosti určování vročení standardních gramofonových desek z diskotéky R. A. Dvorského ve sbírce Národního muzea – Českého muzea hudby s pomocí diskografických zdrojů
Authors: Studničný Michal
Published: November 2022

Účel – Cílem předkládaného odborného článku je nastínění základních postupů při katalogizaci standardních gramofonových desek, a to zejména v souvislosti s řešením problematiky vročení. Datace nahrávek je jedním z podstatných (a povinných) kroků pro správnou identifikaci a tím i katalogizaci zvukových dokumentů ve fondech paměťových institucí v ČR. U některých typů zvukových dokumentů, jako jsou např. i historické gramofonové desky, naráží však samotný postup při určování datace na mnohá úskalí. Způsoby řešení problematiky vročení a jejich aplikace v katalogizační praxi budou v textu představeny na vzorku z vybrané části sbírky fonotéky Národního muzea – Českého muzea hudby (dále jen NM-ČMH), konkrétně pak osobní diskotéky významné osobnosti populární hudby první poloviny 20. století, R. A. Dvorského.

Design/metodologie/přístup – Na základě představení možností určování datace z etiket standardních gramofonových desek, a při užití různých typů specializovaných zdrojů (historických katalogů, diskografií, elektronických databází, specializovaných příruček atd.) byla dle pravidel RDA minimálního záznamu a ve formátu MARC 21 katalogizována sbírka standardních gramofonových desek ze sbírky diskotéky R. A. Dvorského. V textu jsou představeny vybrané příklady využití různých typů zdrojů a následného zápisu vročení do katalogizační systému.

Výsledky – Zamýšlenými výsledky jsou: 1) aplikace specializovaných zdrojů při vročení standardních gramofonových desek a 2) ukázka modelových příkladů katalogizace standardních gramofonových dese ze sbírek Národního muzea – Českého muzea hudby dle pravidel RDA ve formátu MARC 21.

Originalita/hodnota – Hlavním přínosem článku je ukázka popisu a katalogizace standardních gramofonových desek ze sbírek Národního muzea – Českého muzea hudby dle minimálního záznamu a pravidel RDA ve formátu MARC 21 na modelových příkladech vybraných gramofonových desek z diskotéky R. A. Dvorského. Dalším přínosem je přehled aplikace několika druhu pomocných zdrojů, které jsou klíčové při určení datace standardních gramofonových desek. Takové typy zdrojů mohou sloužit katalogizátorům a dokumentátorům paměťových institucí jako pomůcka při katalogizaci, rekatalogizaci a evidenci fondů a sbírek standardních gramofonových desek. Lze tak retrospektivně nahrávky datovat, což doplňuje nedostatečný popis zvukového nosiče např. při různých projektech.

Klíčová slova: katalogizace, zvukové dokumenty, standardní gramofonová deska, vročení, diskografie, katalogy, databáze, Rudolf Antonín Dvorský

A note on international comparisons of R&D Tax Credit programmes, the inclusion of the humanities and social sciences, and the policy implications
Authors: Bakhshi Hasan , Puttick Ruth
Published: November 2022

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development�s (OECD) Frascati Manual is the internationally accepted methodology for collecting and reporting data on R&D. This study interviewed countries in the OECD that do � and those that do not � permit Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) R&D expenditure within their R&D tax credit programmes. It finds that how countries choose to adopt the Frascati Manual�s definition of R&D is a policy choice led by its domestic technical, financial, and political objectives. The UK, like many OECD countries, claims to use the Frascati Manual to define R&D within its R&D tax credit programme, but despite these claims, it excludes SSH R&D from its definition of R&D. By excluding AHSS R&D from its R&D definition for the purpose of tax relief, the UK government risks ignoring the full value of R&D in the UK economy and risks missing out on incentivising investment in AHSS-related innovation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comparative study of R&D definitions for tax relief.
The geopoetics of the city K.: the optics of perception
Authors: Tsvigun Tatiana V. , Chernyakov Alexey N.
Published: November 2022

This article is a study of literary representations of the text 'Königsberg-Kaliningrad' analysed from the point of view of geopoetics. Based on the descriptions of Königsberg-Kaliningrad in Bolotov's memoirs "Life and adventures of Andrey Bolotov, described by himself for his descendants", Brodsky's poem "Einem alten Architekten in Rom" and the novel "Königsberg" by Buida, the authors explore the sensorial perception of the city by the writers and establish its correlation with the extraliterary metapositions reflected in their texts. It is argued that the basis of the description of Königsberg in Bolotov's memoirs is a detailed mapping of the city, interwoven with a feeling of surprise, which results in an emotional discovery of the unfamiliar space. Brodsky's poetic optics is interpreted as a transition from 'vision' to 'speculation': an imaginary tour of Königsberg leads the poet from the sensory (visual and aural) perception of the city to the understanding of its non-material, spiritual and noumenal essence. Buida associates the space of Königsberg and Kaliningrad with the idea of myth construction. Shifting from the real Kaliningrad to the imaginary Königsberg, the author fills in the semiotic incompleteness of the city as a sign. Based on the comparison of the three types of perception, it is concluded that for different authors, the perception and the understanding of the city K. is associated with its transcendence from the personalization of the material essence of the city to the transition beyond the material, to the city as a noumenon, a thing-in-itself.
Bioterrorism
Authors: Bursać Boris
Published: November 2022

The author often mentioned in his works that there is no inhabited territory in the world that is resistant to terrorism, while the roots of terrorism, surrounded by different motives and causes, go far back in history. Therefore, the author identifies terrorism as a world problem, which is never isolated in one environment, but very quickly, like a forest fire, spreads to other areas. In the era of rapid information and technological development, the concept of terrorism terrorism is becoming less and less precise and unambiguous as it is increasingly used. Given that we have seen in the not-so-distant past that terrorist organizations are unscrupulous in their attacks, one of the main concerns of modern times is undoubtedly the possibility of using biological weapons for terrorist purposes. This paper analyzes in detail the somewhat intimidating form of terrorism, known as bioterrorism, a distinction was made between this and other types of terrorism, and we have given a historical view of the use of biological weapons, all with the aim of more precisely defining this extremely complex phenomenon.
Impact of the seventh day nucleated red blood cell count on mortality in COVID-19 intensive care unit patients: A retrospective case-control study
Authors: Düz Muhammed , Arslan Mustafa , Menek Elif , Avci Burak
Published: November 2022

Background: COVID-19 covers a broad clinical spectrum, threatening global health. Although several studies have investigated various prognostic biochemical and hematological parameters, they generally lack specificity and are insufficient for decision-making. Beyond the neonatal period, NRBCs (nucleated red blood cells) in peripheral blood is rare and often associated with malignant neoplasms, bone marrow diseases, and other severe disorders such as sepsis and hypoxia. Therefore, we investigated if NRBCs can predict mortality in hypoxic ICU (Intensive Care Unit) patients of COVID-19. Methods: Seventy-one unvaccinated RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 ICU patients was divided into those who survived (n=35, mean age=58) and died (n=36, mean age=75). Venous blood samples were collected in K3 EDTA tubes and analyzed on a Sysmex XN-1000 hematology analyzer with semiconductor laser flow cytometry and nucleic acid fluorescence staining method for NRBC analysis. NRBC numbers and percentages of the patients were compared on the first and seventh days of admission to the ICU. Results are reported as a proportion of NRBCs per 100 WBCs NRBCs/100 WBC (NRBC% and as absolute NRBC count (NRBC #, × 109/L). Results: NRBC 7th-day count and % values were statistically higher in non-survival ones. The sensitivity for 7th day NRBC value <0.01 (negative) was 86.11%, the specificity was 48.57%, for <0.02; 75.00%, and 77.14%, for <0.03; 61.11%, and 94.60%. Conclusions: In conclusion, our results indicate that NRBC elevation (>0.01) significantly predicts mortality in ICU hospitalized patients due to COVID-19. Worse, a high mortality rate is expected, especially with NRBC values of >0.03.

Palsas and peat plateaus have an important role in the bio- and geodiversity of Northern environments. The peat of the palsa is an archive of geochemical and biochemical conditions of high quality. The palsa peat bog of Eletsky was studied in the north-east of the Bolshezemelskaya tundra (67°16′ N, 63°39′ E). Palsa of 1.5 to 4 m height were studied in detail. The content of carbon and nitrogen in the peat has been determined, as well as the isotopic composition of carbon. The analysis of the carbon and nitrogen content in plants growing both on the surface of the heave mounds and in the depressions between the mounds was carried out. Variations in C/N values indicate changes in the peat moor humidification regime and the rate of peat decomposition. The results obtained indicate a high degree of watering of the Eletsky massif as a whole during the accumulation of peat and mainly anaerobic conditions of its decomposition. It was found that the change of plant associations also affected the value of C/N. Studies of the Eletsky palsa peat bog have shown that the isotopic composition of carbon is determined primarily by the botanical composition of plant remains. New ecological niches are formed in the process of palsa growth, some plant communities are replaced by others. There was not detected difference of the isotopic composition of thawed and frozen peat.
Counting general power residues
Authors:   Existsforall Academy, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, Seraj Samer
Published: November 2022

Suppose every integer is taken to the power of a fixed integer exponent k ≥ 2 and the remainders of these powers upon division by a fixed integer n ≥ 2 are found. It is natural to ask how many distinct remainders are produced. By building on the work of Stangl, who published the k = 2 case in Mathematics Magazine in 1996, we find essentially closed formulas that allow for the computation of this number for any k. Along the way, we provide an exposition of classical results on the multiplicativity of this counting function and results on the number of remainders that are coprime to the modulus n.
AAA+ proteases: the first line of defense against mitochondrial damage
Authors: Pareek Gautam
Published: November 2022

Mitochondria play essential cellular roles in Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, calcium homeostasis, and metabolism, but these vital processes have potentially deadly side effects. The production of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the aggregation of misfolded mitochondrial proteins can lead to severe mitochondrial damage and even cell death. The accumulation of mitochondrial damage is strongly implicated in aging and several incurable diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and cancer. To oppose this, metazoans utilize a variety of quality control strategies, including the degradation of the damaged mitochondrial proteins by the mitochondrial-resident proteases of the ATPase Associated with the diverse cellular Activities (AAA+) family. This mini-review focuses on the quality control mediated by the mitochondrial-resident proteases of the AAA+ family used to combat the accumulation of damaged mitochondria and on how the failure of this mitochondrial quality control contributes to diseases.

La variación léxica maestro-profesor: un estudio pragmático-discursivo
Authors:   Departamento de Filología Moderna, Facultad de Educación, Universidad de Castilla- La Mancha, Crespo Fernández Eliecer
Published: November 2022

Desde un enfoque pragmático-discursivo al fenómeno de la variación lingüística, el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la variación léxica maestro-profesor en una muestra de documentos programáticos y organizativos de centros educativos públicos y concertados de Castilla- La Mancha (España) en los que se imparten las etapas de Educación Infantil y Primaria. El análisis demuestra que en la opción por el término profesor, mucho más abundante en el corpus consultado que maestro, influyen decisivamente cuestiones de imagen y prestigio social en la comunidad docente. De este modo, profesor funciona como eufemismo meliorativo o ennoblecedor que persigue elevar la imagen pública del profesional de la enseñanza en las fases iniciales del sistema educativo y contribuye a su autorrepresentación positiva, si bien, en ocasiones, puede confundir al receptor del mensaje con respecto al concepto designado.
Musical stairways to creativity heavens: a chain-reaction theory about the benefits of background music in literary translation
Authors:   Departamento de Traducción e Interpretación (investigación) / Departamento de Filología Inglesa (docencia), Facultad de Letras, Universidad de Murcia, Naranjo Sánchez Beatriz
Published: November 2022

Research in the psychology of music has shown that music-listening can foster psychological transportation. Whether played alone or as a complement of other artistic products such as films or narratives, music allows listeners to travel mentally to fictional realities. This phenomenon occurs due to the potential of music to trigger cognitive and affective reactions in listeners such as visual stimulation and emotional engagement. Simultaneously, recent studies in translation process research (TPR) have revealed how translation performance can benefit from both visualization and emotional involvement, making the difference in the resulting target text. Therefore, this paper proposes a theory based on a chain-reaction model, according to which background music would eventually lead to an increase of translation creativity through the filter of psychological transportation. Practical implications of our model would entail using instrumental background music to foster motivation in translation environments, which could possibly lead to higher-quality and more creative target texts.
Autoría traductora múltiple, voz y traducción como reinstanciación Autores/as

Published: November 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo es proponer un modelo de análisis de la voz autorial múltiple en la traducción literaria que integre herramientas conceptuales de la sociología de la traducción con el análisis lingü.stico de los recursos lingü.stico-discursivos que (re)instancian dichas voces en el texto traducido. En la sección 1 se motiva esta propuesta y en la sección 2 se exponen los elementos principales seleccionados para el acercamiento sociológico y el sistémicofuncional. Tras detallar las cuestiones metodológicas en la sección 3, la sección 4 constituye un estudio de caso. En ella se describe el proceso de traducción de la novela El maestro de esgrima (Arturo Pérez-Reverte, 1988) al alemán (Ein Stich ins Herz [Der Fechtmeister]) con arreglo a los conceptos sociológicos de autoría traductora múltiple, agentividad y voz; para ello, se reconstruyen las voces contextuales de la traducción alemana mediante entrevistas a los traductores ejecutivos y al director de la serie en la que aparece la traducción. Seguidamente se analiza la reinstanciación de dichas voces en la traducción alemana y los efectos que dichas reinstanciaciones tienen en la individuación de las voces textuales y del lector implícito. Este trabajo sostiene que completar el acercamiento sociológico al proceso de la traducción con un análisis lingü.stico-discursivo del producto abre nuevas posibilidades para explorar con sistematicidad conceptos propios de la sociología de la traducción, a la vez que contribuye a la comprensión del fenómeno de la equivalencia en traducción.
Assessment of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene in South-East Asia: A Systematic Review
Authors: Behera Deepak Kumar , Samant Kalolinid , Dehury Ranjit Kumar
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) can be used as an indicator for the assessment of the health of a country. Without WASH facilities, it is very difficult for the sustenance of health and well-being of the people. Aim: This systematic review tries to bring out various nuances of practices on WASH and their intervention in the South-East Asia Region (SEAR). Materials and Methods: In the present systematic review, searches were made systematically in scholarly sources like Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct to unearth data from January 2005 to February 2020 with a language restriction to English for all the published articles. The literature search was conducted from March 2020 to May, 2020. The full-text articles (accessible) were retrieved from each of the searches and a few of the papers which appeared to be relevant were obtained for review. Articles were included from both urban and rural set-ups. Irrelevant topics and headings were excluded. Results: The area of SEAR has a different level of practice and outcomes on WASH. The studies show that low-quality WASH practices in Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka contribute to public health issues. The studies on the health impact of WASH from many countries like Indonesia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Timor-Leste are also found to be inadequate in the maintenance of health. The report mentioned about many diseases like gastroenteritis, stunting, and helminthes infection among many people in the community. The source of drinking water, and drinking water quality needs to be assessed according to the recommendation of studies across the SEAR region. Two infectious diseases recently emerged such as Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) and E Coli contamination due to inadequate WASH practices. Conclusion: The diarrhoeal diseases and sanitation-related issues are numerous in the entire region. Diverse consumption of sanitary practices and drinking water is seen in India, as reported in one study; whereas open defecation has not been eliminated as reported in another study, where 32% of households are still defecating openly. Health impacts due to the lack of proper WASH practices are still a rising concern. Special attention is required for underprivileged areas like slums and rural areas. The involvement of the government in providing WASH facilities to underprivileged people is very significant.

Authors: Maravi Prashant , Mishra Nimisha , Ahuja Sunil K , Rure Daisy
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Mortality rates in schizophrenia patients due to cardiovascular events are reported to be more than the general population. Dyslipidaemia, obesity, diabetes, and hypertension are some of the common illnesses these patients are vulnerable to develop. The drugs which are used to treat schizophrenia and other related disorders i.e. antipsychotics causes increase in weight, dyslipidaemia and insulin resistance in some patients. Some agent’s i.e. Second Generation Antipsychotics (SGA) cause more of the above mentioned symptoms and than others agent’s i.e. First Generation Antipsychotics (FGA). The novelty of the study includes the emergence of Metabolic syndrome (MetS) in drug naïve or drug free patients who were prescribed trifluoperazine and olanzapine and comparative study of them. Aim: To assess the emergence of MetS in drug naïve patients of schizophrenia after the administration of trifluoperazine-FGA and olanzapine-SGA. Materials and Methods: A cohort study was conducted from May 2019 to March 2021, in the Department of Psychiatry, Shyam Shah Medical College, and Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, India. Study was started after the clearance from institutional ethical committee. The study included 41 drug naïve indoor and outdoor patients, diagnosed as schizophrenia according to International Classification of Diseases 10 Diagnostic Criteria for Research (ICD 10 DCR). The patients were divided into two groups, one group was prescribed FGA trifluoperazine and other was prescribed SGA olanzapine. Twenty patients were prescribed olanzapine and 21 patient’s trifluoperazine. Metabolic parameters were taken before onset of drug treatment therapy, after two and four months respectively. The patients were given medications for four months. The changes in metabolic parameters i.e., waist circumference, blood pressure, Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), triglycerides, and Low HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) were compared using unpaired student’s t-test and repeated measure Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with p-value <0.05 considered as significant. Results: It was found that out of total 41 patient, 4 patients (19.4%) and 12 patients (60%) patients prescribed trifluoperazine and olanzapine respectively developed Mets after four months of antipsychotic medication. Also, there was a significant change in various parameters of MetS in both groups as seen in repeated measure ANOVA.

Published: November 2022

Renal artery pseudoaneurysm after nephrolithotomy or pyelolithotomy is rare, but is more often following Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) or renal biopsy. It is a potentially life-threatening condition, with an incidence of 0.1 to 0.3% after nephrolithotomy or pyelolithotomy. Manifestation may vary, from asymptomatic to symptoms like local bloody discharge, haematuria, pain, high blood pressure, and rupture causing a life-threatening condition. A minimally invasive technique, selective or super-selective angioembolisation is the treatment of choice. This case series reports, five cases presented with either bloody wound discharge or intermittent haematuria in the emergency department, post nephrolithotomy. All patients were resuscitated in the emergency department with intravenous fluid and packed red blood cell transfusion. After resuscitation, three patients were diagnosed with renal artery pseudoaneurysm on Computed Tomography of Kidneys, Ureters and Bladder (CT KUB) and angiography, and two patients with digital subtraction angiography during the intervention. All were treated with super-selective renal artery angioembolisation, with endovascular coiling of different sizes. All patients made an uneventful recovery, and on followup no complication was evident. Now-a-days the popularity of angioembolisation for renal artery pseudoaneurysm has increased, which shows a paradigm shift from a traditional surgical intervention.

Introduction: The shoot-up of antimicrobial resistance leading to the Multidrug Resistance (MDR) phenomenon in clinical pathogens has forced us to develop novel technologies to cease this global threat immediately. Iron oxide nanoparticles can be a breakthrough solution to this dilemma due to its magnetic properties and biocompatibility. Non toxic and biocompatible applications of magnetic nanoparticles can be enriched further by special surface coating with organic or inorganic molecules. Aim: To determine the antibacterial activity of green synthesised iron oxide nanoparticles against various clinical isolates. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted from June 2021 to April 2022. This study was conducted at the Department of Microbiology, SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Centre (SRMMCH&RC), Kattankulathur, Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu, India. Nanoparticles underwent surface modifications and characterisation using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), Ultraviolet (UV) Visible Absorption Spectra, and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) followed by charge characterisation through Agarose Gel Electrophoresis. Kirby-Bauer Disc Diffusion method was used for screening the sensitivity and resistance pattern of 50 selected isolates and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was assessed using MIC Microbroth Dilution technique with the help of resazurin. Results: Out of the four different concentrations of bare and coated nanoparticles (0.0375 mg/mL, 0.07 mg/mL, 0.15 mg/mL, 0.3 mg/mL), bare nanoparticles inhibited the growth of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) at 0.3 mg/mL while citrate-coated nanoparticles inhibited the growth at 0.15 mg/mL, 0.018 mg/mL, 0.0375 mg/mL, 0.07 mg/mL, and 0.15 mg/mL dilutions were used in case of Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR K. pneumoniae) and MDR Escherichia coli, from which both organisms were inhibited at 0.15 mg/mL of bare and coated nanoparticles. Conclusion: Iron nanoparticles synthesised from the marine algae Chaetomorpha antennina could be used in the future as a drug carrier or as an antimicrobial agent.

Introduction: Medical education is considered to be one of the most academically and emotionally demanding training programmes out of any profession. Stress causes a negative effect on the students’ psychosocial well-being. Students having anxiety can experience intense feeling of fear or panic and also impairs concentration and working memory. Aim: To estimate the examination related anxiety levels among medical students. Also, to find out its association with different lifestyle and behavioural factors. Materials and Methods: This institution-based cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 365 medical students of Calcutta National Medical College, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, from February 2022 to March 2022. The study used predesigned, pretested, and semi-structured questionnaire. To assess anxiety level, the 10-item Westside Test Anxiety Scale was used. The scale consists of 10 questions which are answered based on a 5-point scale. Data was analysed done in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16.0. Results: Out of 365, 108 (29.6%) students suffered from moderately-high test anxiety during exams in both 1st and 2nd professional MBBS year. Only 8.2% students had comfortably-low test anxiety, whereas, 11.2% had extremelyhigh test anxiety. Among the first year students 37.5% male and 19.5% female had moderately high to extremely high level of test anxiety. In second year students 34.6% male and 20.6% female had moderately high to extremely high level of test anxiety. Male gender, addiction to smoking, addiction to alcohol, virtual gaming habit, coming from a nuclear family, and staying at home during exams had greater odds of having high anxiety than their counterparts. Addiction to smoking had adjusted odds of 1.52 and was found to be statistically significant. Students who resided in their homes had 2.34 times more chances of having high test anxiety and this association was found to be statistically significant. The practice of yoga was found to be protective with adjusted odds of 0.31 and this was also statistically significant. Conclusion: Male gender, addiction to smoking and alcohol, virtual gaming habit, coming from a nuclear family and staying at home during examination time had greater impact on anxiety level than their counterparts. The practice of yoga was found to be protective. Involving students in different extra-curricular activities like outdoor games, yoga, playing music may be helpful in alleviating anxiety level.

Published: November 2022

This study investigated the causes of flexible pavement failure along three major roads in the Niger delta region of Nigeria. The three selected roads are Ogbia-Nembe road, East-West Road and Port Harcourt-Aba. Different types of failure such as alligator cracks, rutting, corrugations, etc., were observed on the selected road alignments. Pavement condition and traffic surveys were carried out on the selected road locations to ascertain their causes of failure. The study method involved the use of structured questionnaires which were distributed mostly to civil engineers and other construction stakeholders. A 5-point Likert scale was used to analyze the questionnaires retrieved from the respondents. The results of data analysis of the questionnaires and traffic survey showed that lack of laboratory investigation of construction materials, poor quality of the construction materials, lack of maintenance culture, poor soil condition of the road, inadequate drainage systems and overloading of road pavements are the major factors that are responsible for flexible pavement failures of the three selected roads in the Niger delta.

With the continuous improvement of the accuracy of machine tools, the proportion of the thermal error of machine tools in the total error is increasing. In this paper, the thermal error of horizontal machining center is analyzed by finite element simulation, a three-dimensional model is established in SolidWorks, and some details (such as bolt holes) are simplified and imported into ANSYS Workbench to determine the heat generation model, heat dissipation model, convection heat transfer coefficient and other boundary conditions. On the basis of the temperature field, the thermal-structural coupling analysis is carried out, and the temperature cloud field of the whole machine tool is obtained through the analysis, which provides a theoretical basis for the experimental design. Then, the data are divided into four categories by fuzzy cluster analysis, and finally, the thermal error model is established by BP neural network based on time series. It provides a theoretical reference for the compensation of thermal error.
Oral Libation of the Farefari Text: Literary and Structural Analysis
Authors: A-Ingkonge Barnabas
Published: November 2022

Libation is seen as a significant rite and a component of the Farefari people's sociocultural existence (Mabia language). Due to the significance associated with libation and the fact that it is kept for the more mature members of society, the language used for its contraction is wrapped in complex jargon that uses literary devices. The paper analyzes the text's structure and literary devices using the pragmatic and Relevance Theory (RT) frameworks. This study's descriptive qualitative study design was carefully chosen. The findings revealed that, the literary devices used in Farefari libation texts include appellation, personification, proverbs, euphemism, parallelism, repetition/anaphora, and others. The words are beautiful and loaded with literary tricks. Therefore, it is verified that Farefari libation text has a unique structure from other African languages. The libation text is likewise jam-packed with literary devices, as we discovered. Based on the findings, The researcher recommends that future researchers investigating on farefari text: literary and structural analysis may focus on folktales.
