In the world of digital era, there is a high availability of huge amount of online documents which leads to plagiarism. Plagiarism is the act of copying other person work. The paper based documents are stored in the digital libraries for future references. In the olden days, people used the Latin word “plagiarius” to indicate the act of stealing someone else work. Plagiarism is the act of using one’s ideas, concepts, words or structures without citing their references where original work is expected from the users. In this paper, the main objective is to compare the contents of original document that matches with the contents in other documents. These matches are considered depending on the syntactic matches and also the semantic similarity. This paper employs Sentence Hashing Algorithm for Plagiarism Detection focusing on complete sentence sequences and calculates hash – sum for the sentence sequences. When the user compares the original document to several documents, if the similarity value of the document is 1, then the contents present in the original document is 100% same in the compared documents, i.e., fully plagiarized. If the similarity value varies from 0.1 to 0.9, then it is partially plagiarized. The similarity value is 0%, then the original document is unique.

The power management has become the major constraint while designing VLSI circuits as parameters like Area, Speed, etc. are critical to be optimized. In this work, a low power 16-bit ALU is designed to perform all arithmetic and logic operations. The present day super computers, mobile gadgets, calculators etc. are using low power ALU systems to perform their tasks. Especially, leakage power occupies major portion of power consumption in the CMOS circuits, as the process technology progresses. The objective of the research work is to reduce leakage power in maximum extent to run the ALU with low power. The proposed model has used IVC based leakage power reduction technique in standby mode by using Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA). Input Vector Control (IVC) technique is found to be a better alternative in achieving low leakage as it is based on the effect of transistor stacking and it is highly preferred because of its independency over other technological parameters without performance overhead. The GSA locates MLV (Minimum Leakage Vector) in vector combinations of input test circuits of ALU. And then IVC forces the other vector combinations into MLV mode of a test circuit to reduce leakage power. The comparison study has been carried out with Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm with various test circuits. Power analysis is conducted with GSA to ascertain better leakage reduction and also it locates MLV in less number of iterations. GSA takes only 13 iterations to reach its global space, whereas, PSO takes 62 iterations and GA takes 96 iterations to reach their global space. The simulations are carried out using the Xilinx platform with Verilog coding using PSPICE and MATLAB tools.

Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is the nearly all imperative constituent of computer network security. IDSs are designed to comprehend intrusion attempts in incoming network traffic shrewdly. It deals with big volume of data containing immaterial and outmoded features, which lead to delay in training as well as testing procedures. Therefore, to minimize the false alarm and computation complexity, the features selection technique for intrusion detection has been implemented. In this paper PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) have been used on kdd99 dataset to develop FC-NIDS model. PCA is used to select the attacked features to minimize the computational work, while FIS is used to develop a fuzzy inference system for accuracy in prophecy using MATLAB. The results of the experiment are tested on UCI data sets as a standard bench-mark. It has been found efficient for true prediction of intrusion as well as to reduce the false alarm rate. The proposed fuzzy logic controller IDS (FC-NIDS), is passable to covenant with signature and anomaly based attacks to get enhanced intrusion detection, decreases false alarm and to optimize complexity.

Environmental and field parameters have high impact on agricultural productivity. The environmental parameters include temperature, humidity, rainfall and wind direction etc. whereas field parameters include salinity, nutrient content, oxygen levels, soil type, soil PH and soil moisture etc. Among them, Soil pH and moisture are highly correlated which can affect soil salinity, nutrient level and soil conductivity. So, these two parameters need to be measure precisely to take management decisions. Till now the process which is applied to measure soil parameters are entirely depends on laboratory testing of soil sample. This process has some overhead like availability of laboratory, manpower and cost. To overcome these challenges, we developed a virgin sensor based automated data collection technique which maintains the agricultural productivity with sustainable development. But practically sensor-based data retain some error which defers from laboratory result. In this paper, we have developed a new efficient technique to reduce the error in calculating pH value using sensors. In this research work, ten different types of soils are tested in laboratory to get the actual (pH level in soil. These values are considered as the ground truth for the experiment. The pH values of all the ten types of soil are collected from the field using wireless sensor. Our proposed mathematical model reduces the error to 0.01 between collected values and ground truth values with back propagation method based on soil moisture, environmental temperature and humidity. Here, the proposed model is empirically tested by taking some real field data values.

This paper briefly reviews the potential use of the Continuously Variable Transmission System (CVT) and its different types in a tractor. CVT is a system in which transmission is adapted automatically through continuous variable adjustment of the pulleys. The paper starts with studying the requirement of innovation in agricultural tractors through a case study and goes about discussing the results of modeling, simulation and experimental works done in this field. The paper also focuses on advantages and disadvantages of opting CVT over other transmission systems. Different efforts performed to optimize the electronic controller were also discussed. The key results that were noticed were that CVT reduces the overall fuel consumption and weight of the system. It was also noticed that it causes vehicle to show signs of improvement footing attributes, stay away from flameout, and retain vibrations and it wipes out move stun and offers smooth increasing speed. Few instances were observed where CVT implementation cannot be a commercially viable option, but overall it seems to be a very promising technology and already many heavy vehicles have started to use them. This paper also reviews all the essential factors involved in design of a transmission system for a commercial tractor which might ease the process of collecting data.

Pattern mining is a technique, which discovers interesting, hidden, unpredicted and useful patterns of data from the database. Most of the research work in pattern mining has been focused on the traditional way of Frequent Itemset Mining (FIM) and Association Rule Mining (ARM) for pattern-discovery. Patterns in frequent itemset mining are based on the occurrence frequency of items. Although frequent pattern mining is useful, the assumption that ‘frequent patterns are interesting,’ doesn’t hold for numerous applications. High Utility Itemset Mining (UIM) overcomes this limitation of frequent itemset mining. The aim of HUIM is to find the patterns based on a utility function where the utility can be measured in terms of revenue, profit, weight, frequency, interestingness or time spent on some webpage, etc. Mining patterns with high utility can be seen as a generalization of FIM where the transaction database is the input and every item is having a utility factor representing its importance and might have non-binary quantities in the transactions. This paper surveys various recent advances and research opportunities in the field of high utility itemset mining.

Purpose of the study. Based on the analysis of case histories to determine ways to improve the results of treatment of patients with hip fracture and reduce duration of rehabilitation period. Material and methods. From 2012 to 2018 in the emergency department of traumatology of the Sklifosovsky Clinical and Research Institute for Emergency Care were treated 865 patients with a hip fracture. For analysis of these patients they were divided into 2 groups. The control group consisted of patients who were treated from 2012 to 2016 - 569 patients. The main group - 296 patients treated from 2017 to 2018. Results. Preoperative hospital stay in the main group was reduced in the 2-fold. The number of non-operated patients was reduced by 2 times. It was increased in the number of hip arthroplasty from 46.3% to 53.0%. It reduces the average time of operation in bipolar arthroplasty from 65 to 48 minutes, in total arthroplasty - from 89 to 63 minutes. It reduces the average blood loss during arthroplasty from 626 ml to 277 ml. The preoperative thrombosis of the lower limbs was detected in 9% of primary and 15% of the control group. Number of bedsores decreased from 2.5% to 1.7% and reduced mortality from 3.3% to 1.3%. Conclusion. All patients with a suspected fracture of the proximal femur, regardless of age, should be admitted and examined. Indications for surgery are vital. The purposes of the examination of the patient are identifying ways to quickly patient's condition compensation. For the prevention of thromboembolic complications is necessary to perform venous ultrasound before and after the operation. Detection of floating thrombus in the veins of the lower extremities before surgery is an indication for surgical prophylaxis of thromboembolism. Diagnosing floating thrombus up to 5 cm in the postoperative period may be an indication for conservative treatment. Such measures as multimodal analgesia with combination of non-steroidal and opioid analgesics before and after operation, patient-controlled analgesia in the postoperative period, high volume surgical wound infiltration with a solution of local anesthetic during surgery allows to activate the operated patients for 1-2 days after hip replacement. Reducing the duration of the operation leads to reduction of blood loss during the arthroplasty by improving the surgical technique and intravenous tranexamic acid infusion.

Published: December 2019

Currently, the number of patients with high-energy injuries of large segments of the skeleton due to road traffic and catotrauma is increasing. The number of patients with vascular pathology and disorders of the endocrine system is also increasing, which leads to a sharp increase in the population of patients who underwent limb amputation. Patients who underwent limb amputations present a significant medical and social problem. Stump malformations formed due to violations of surgical technique during reconstructive operations often complicate prosthetic fitting and the social adaptation of patients in this group. The possibilities of external prosthetics manufacturing are currently booming. Limb prosthetics manufacturing is a complex orthopedic, technical, biomechanical and general medical process, which results in medical and social rehabilitation. Functional results depend on the timing of prosthetics manufacturing. An important condition for safe walking is the preparation of a disabled person from the first days after amputation. An important role in the patient's rehabilitation is played by the school of walking, the purpose of which is to form the correct stereotype of walking, to learn how to walk on the prosthesis on various surfaces and to master actions in emergency situations.

Published: December 2019

Objective:  The present study aimed to investigate the factors that affects the fear of falling, also known basophobia, in patients with stroke and the aspects of life quality.

Material and Methods: Stroke patients in the physical therapy were included in this study. Demographic data of the patients were recorded. Patients were asked whether they fell after the stroke and experienced fear of falling. Itaki Fall Risk Scale, Functional Ambulatory Categories, Functional Independence Measure, Beck Depression Inventory and Stroke Specific Quality of Life scale (SS-QoL) have been used. The data of the study were analyzed with SPSS 15 package program.

Results: This study was conducted on 102 patients with stroke. Of these, 36 (35.3%) patients were female with a mean age of 60.97. There was a fear of falling in 65 (63.7%) of the patients. 48 patients (47.1%) fell at least once after the stroke. Falls were significantly high with the ones who were experiencing fear of falling (p = 0.006). Fear of falling was significantly high in females, patients with ischemic stroke, elderly and the patients with coexistent systemic diseases (p <0.05). The total score and sub-units of SS-QoL was significantly low (p <0.05) in the group with the fear of falling. The depression score was significantly high in patients with fear of falling (p = 0.00).

Conclusion: Fear of falling in patients with stroke negatively affects many sub-units of the quality of life-related to movement, participation, and mood. Thus, the classic rehabilitation program for patients with stroke should include falling prevention training.

O pluralismo religioso em Jacques Dupuis: uma perspectiva teológica para o diálogo inter-religioso
Authors: Danieli Mateus
Published: December 2019

O pluralismo religioso de Jacques Dupuis se fundamenta no método indutivo, isto é, da experiência do encontro com a outra religião encontrar o caminho de síntese daquilo que é positivo e dar plausibilidade teológica ao diálogo inter-religioso. O autor fundamenta o paradigma do pluralismo inclusivista como aquele que mais se adéqua as exigências do diálogo, o qual é outra condição para um encontro entre as fés, sem desmerecer uma ou legitimar a outra. Todavia, Dupuis e a teologia do pluralismo religioso foram questionadas pela Santa Sé com dois escritos oficiais que são a Dominus Iesus e a Notificação a Jacques Dupuis. No encontro entre o pluralismo religioso e as críticas ao teólogo em questão surgem desafios fundamentais para a teologia, como sustentar um método teológico que permita o diálogo inter-religioso, um paradigma que evidencie o acolhimento ao diferente e uma insistência no diálogo como caminho para a paz e da tolerância.
Audit of Microbiological Profile of 95 Serial Cases Presenting with Otorrhea to ENT OPD at Tertiary Care Hospital
Authors: Nitya Singh
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT:
Otorrhea is a common ENT presentation affecting all the age groups which requires accurate assessment. The etiology of ear discharge is of complex nature, majority being aerobic bacteria, and the rest are anaerobes, fungi and mixed infections. Therefore, the need to determine the cause behind the discharge and to find out the nature and microorganism related to it becomes important. The current study is being conducted to determine the microbial flora in patients presenting with otorrhea and guide towards empirical treatment based on the susceptibility of the safest antimicrobial to the causative organism. The current study is a prospective observational (descriptive) study which involves a preliminary mycobacterial analysis of the ear discharge in a sample of 95 patients presenting with otorrhea. The commonest age group affected in the current study is 20-35 years with males commonly affected. Most common amongst the bacteria are pseudomonas aeruginosa (18.94%) and coagulase negative staphylococcus aureus (14.73%). Mycological profile revealed the predominance of Aspergillus species (9.47%). most common diagnosis was CSOM mucosal (84.21%) followed by CSOM squamous (11.58%). Other less common diagnosis included otomycosis (3.16%) and otitis externa (1.05%).The results of the current study is in concurrence with the other literature available on the microbial flora of otorrhea. However a detailed and in depth prospective study would be more than useful to enrich the knowledge and would enhance the understanding of disease processes which cause acute or chronic otorrhoea, so that appropriate preventive and curative measures can be undertaken.

Published: December 2019

A lo largo de los años, diversas investigaciones han intentado abordar los alcances que la migración internacional tiene en los núcleos sociales y familiares de los países de origen y de destino, planteando sus consecuencias positivas y negativas, más allá de repercusiones económicas. Desde esta perspectiva, el interés de esta investigación es conocer las percepciones y significados de niños y niñas de cuarto, quinto y sexto grado de primaria en los estados de Hidalgo, Jalisco, Michoacán, Yucatán y Zacatecas. La técnica analizada fue la elaboración de un dibujo temático sobre la relación entre la migración y la familia y la elaboración de un breve relato relacionado con el dibujo. El análisis de contenido de 664 dibujos evidenció cuatro temas principales. El primero se centra en el concepto de migración desde la visión de los participantes; el segundo aborda el contraste entre el lugar de origen y de destino; el tercer apartado se centra en el cruce de la frontera México-Estados Unidos y, finalmente, el cuarto apartado discute los aspectos positivos y negativos que los participantes atribuyen a la migración. A partir de los resultados se enuncia que los niños y niñas participantes miran el fenómeno como algo cotidiano, real y palpable, como parte de su vida cotidiana. Sin embargo, aún quedan agendas pendientes como la construcción de estrategias sistémicas más positivas e intervenciones para manejar los efectos negativos y que ayuden a construir entornos familiares más sanos en contextos relacionados con la migración internacional.

AA7075 Al alloys are widely used in the aerospace industry. However, the mechanical properties of these alloys are insufficient in space conditions. AA7075 Al alloy is produced by powder metallurgy method due to the good wear properties. Then AA7075 Al alloys have to be adapted to mechanical properties MoS2-TiB2 composite films are deposited. MoS2-TiB2 composite films were grown on powder metal substrate using CFUBMS method in three different MoS2 target currents. Structural properties of composite films were analyzed by SEM, XRD and XPS methods. The mechanical properties of the films are carried out by microhardness and scratch tester. The best grade value of AA7075 powder metal alloy was made with 800MPa pressing pressure and increased from 2.61g/cm3 to 2.72g/cm3 after sintering. The highest hardness was obtained at the lowest MoS2 target voltage of 4.7GPa. The highest critical load value was obtained as 26N at the highest MoS2 target voltage.

Professor Ronan Paddison, co-editor of the Journal of Urban and Regional Analysis (JURA), died suddenly a few months ago on July 8, 2019. He departed at an age when he had sufficient energy to continue his life-long enthusiastic research and editorial duties. The latter included not just JURA, but also the highly regarded Urban Studies. This editorial work not only supported the diffusion of high quality knowledge. Shared and collaborative experiences with journals’ co-editors and contributors were also invaluable in pinpointing future research directions within both the geographical world and wider social or environmental regimes. However, we should not underestimate his on-going dedication to original research and contribution to knowledge.
Point-spread Function Estimation for Adaptive Optics Imaging of Astronomical Extended Objects
Authors: Long Ma , Soubo Yang , Weiping Ni , Feng Xiao , Jun Yu
Published: December 2019

This paper focuses on point-spread function (PSF) estimation for astronomical images containing only single extended objects captured by adaptive optics systems. The problem is very different from, and much more challenging than, PSF estimation with point-like source images. We propose a new PSF estimation framework based on deep-learning technology. In this framework, PSFs can be estimated “end-to-end” using the original degraded images. Moreover, such a framework can precisely address different sources of blur without requiring accurate prior information about the PSF, image or imaging system. Therefore, the method is practical. We test the proposed method on both simulated and real data, and the favorable results show that the method is valid and performs much better than classical methods do.

Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass in cardiac surgery produces systemic inflammatory response and catabolic state. Severe stress frequently causes abnormalities in thyroid hormones in the absence of primary thyroid disease, defined as sick euthyroid syndrome (SES).

Materials and methods: Supplementation therapy with thyroid and anabolic hormones in combination with an adequate nutritional support has been used to improve outcome in critically ill patient after cardiac surgery.

Results: Administration of thyroid and anabolic hormones significantly improved patient’s condition.

Conclusions: Supplementation therapy with thyroid and anabolic hormones in combination with an adequate nutritional support could be used to improve hemodynamics, achieve transition to anabolic metabolism and enhance recovery, which could eventually help for a reduction in post-operative morbidity and mortality.
