Technological Aids for Deaf and Mute in The Modern World
Authors: Mehra Vasu , Pandey Dhiraj , Rastogi Aayush , Singh Aditya , Singh Harsh Preet 
Published: November 2020

Background:
People suffering from hearing and speaking disabilities have a few ways of communicating with other people. One of these is to communicate through the use of sign language.

Objective:
Developing a system for sign language recognition becomes essential for deaf as well as a mute person. The recognition system acts as a translator between a disabled and an able person. This eliminates the hindrances in exchange of ideas. Most of the existing systems are very poorly designed with limited support for the needs of their day to day facilities.

Methods:
The proposed system embedded with gesture recognition capability has been introduced here which extracts signs from a video sequence and displays them on screen. On the other hand, a speech to text as well as text to speech system is also introduced to further facilitate the grieved people. To get the best out of human computer relationship, the proposed solution consists of various cutting-edge technologies and Machine Learning based sign recognition models which have been trained by using Tensor Flow and Keras library.

Result:
The proposed architecture works better than several gesture recognition techniques like background elimination and conversion to HSV because of sharply defined image provided to the model for classification. The results of testing indicate reliable recognition systems with high accuracy that includes most of the essential and necessary features for any deaf and dumb person in his/her day to day tasks.

Conclusion:
It’s the need of current technological advances to develop reliable solutions which can be deployed to assist deaf and dumb people to adjust to normal life. Instead of focusing on a standalone technology, a plethora of them have been introduced in this proposed work. Proposed Sign Recognition System is based on feature extraction and classification. The trained model helps in identification of different gestures.

Authors: Hussien Rasha Mohammed , Elkayal Manal Mohamed , Shahin Mahmoud Abdul Hameed 
Published: November 2020

Background:
Emotional intelligence is considered to be one factor that helps individuals control their feelings.

Objectives:
This study aimed to investigate the emotional intelligence and uncertainty among undergraduate nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.

Methods:
A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used on a convenience sample, consisting of 284 undergraduate nursing students at the Faculty of Nursing, Zagazig University, Egypt, Faculty of Applied Medical Science, Taibah University, and Al-Ghad International Colleges, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Data were collected as responses to a questionnaire, which incorporated a sociodemographic datasheet, the Emotional Intelligence Scale, and the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale.

Results:
The results showed significant differences in emotional intelligence mean scores between Saudi nursing students, who scored higher than their Egyptian counterparts, whereas the uncertainty mean scores were significantly higher among nursing students in Egypt than those in Saudi Arabia. Students in Saudi Arabia were significantly more satisfied with online education and online exams compared with those in Egypt. A negative correlation was identified between emotional intelligence mean scores and uncertainty mean scores among nursing students.

Conclusion:
A focus on the concept of emotional intelligence during university education may assist in the establishment of a supportive environment that can reduce uncertainty among nursing students. Improving, updating, financing, and facilitating online education technology should be a focus of educational institutions and ministries of education worldwide.

Authors: Hazem Noha M , ElKashef Wagdi F , El-Sherbiny Ibrahim M , Emam Ahmed A , Shaalan Dalia , Sobh Mohamed 
Published: November 2020

Background::
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most frequent cancer worldwide
with a low overall survival due to high metastasis and recurrence rates. The aim of this study
is to assess and compare the possible anti-neoplastic effect of capsaicin and nanoformulated capsaicin
on in vitro HCC human cell line HepG2. The source of the cell line, including when and
from where it was obtained. Whether the cell line has recently been authenticated and by what
method. Whether the cell line has recently been tested for mycoplasma contamination.

Materials and Methods::
Capsaicin-loaded Trimethyl Chitosan Nanoparticles (CL TMCS NPs)
were synthesized by ionotropic gelation of cationic TMCS with capsaicin. The synthesized nanoparticles
were characterized through TEM, and zeta analyzer. Human hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cell
lines were cultured and treated with 50, 75 & 100 μM of Capsaicin (CAP), plain TMCS NPs and
CL-NPs as well as ethanol (control) for 24h and 48h. The induced effects were investigated by
flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry assay for Bcl-2, Bax, and caspase proteins and evaluating
gene expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax, and MDR-1 mRNA by real-time PCR.

Results::
Our results demonstrated that capsaicin- loaded NPs had the potential to significantly increase
capsaicin bioactivity compared with the plain capsaicin formulation either in inducing apoptosis
through altering expression of apoptotic regulators or modifying MDR-1 expression.

Conclusions::
TMCs nanoparticles investigated in this study may be a good drug delivery vehicle
for capsaicin. Application of capsaicin-loaded NPs in HCC management as an adjunct therapeutic
approach may be a novel strategy to improve the treatment efficacy and resistance of the conventionally
used chemotherapy.
Aves da Mata Atlântica em extinção
Authors: Sick Helmut 
Published: November 2020

Os ornitólogos, trabalhando sobre as aves do Brasil, estão muito preocupados com o processo de escasseamento das aves deste país. Há alguns anos apresentamos uma lista de cinquenta aves brasileiras raras ou ameaçadas de extinção (Sick & Teixeira, 1979). Para o nosso livro Ornitologia brasileira, no prelo na Editora da Universidade de Brasília, revimos a lista e chegamos a 52 espécies. A área mais atingida no processo de diminuição de aves é a Mata Atlântica. A Mata Atlântica cobriu, antigamente, uma faixa mais ou menos larga, seguindo a costa e penetrando em parte profundamente no interior de todos os estados costeiros, de Pernambuco ao Rio Grande do Sul e Minas Gerais, chegando, por exemplo, no Paraná ao Parque Nacional de Iguaçu. A Mata Atlântica pluvial consiste, ecologicamente, de dois corpos de mata: a floresta litorânea (por exemplo, as matas ao norte do baixo Rio Doce, Espírito Santo) e a floresta de montanhas (por exemplo Serra dos Órgãos, Rio de Janeiro), com clima, flora e fauna diferentes. A Mata Atlântica foi outrora ligada à Floresta Amazônica, ocorrendo intercâmbio da fauna entre elas nessa época, entretanto, os dois corpos de mata se separaram há muito tempo. A Mata Atlântica, por sua vez, fragmentou-se em vários trechos, perdendo-se, também, o contato das suas faunas. Essa segregação das várias partes da Mata Atlântica tornou-se muito acentuada durante o tempo da colonização, quando o homem começou a cortara mata para desenvolver a agricultura.
AS DIMENSÕES DA OFERTA... - Sistemas nacionais de transmissão: implantação e perspectivas
Authors: MORISSY CARLOS ALMIR 
Published: November 2020

Distinguem-se, no Brasil, duas redes de transmissão ainda isoladas entre si, a saber: o sistema interligado das Regiões Sudeste, Sul e Centro-Oeste e o sistema interligado do Nordeste e parte da Região Norte (Pará). O critério dominante, ainda determinístico, impõe que nenhum corte de carga deve resultar de eventos tais como o desligamento de uma linha de transmissão dos troncos principais ou de um transformador de interligação. Avalia-se também o efeito da perda de uma unidade geradora de grande porte, simulando-se, assim, as eventuais reservas ou paradas de unidades, por defeito ou para manutenção programada.

BACKGROUND: In spite of an obvious association between diet and mental health, there is only few report regarding the association between diet and psychosomatic complaints. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of the Mediterranean-DASH diet intervention for neurodegenerative delay (MIND) diet with psychosomatic complaints profile in comparison with the Mediterranean diet (aMED). METHODS: In this cross-sectional study on 2818 Isfahanian adults, a validated dish-based food frequency questionnaire was used to assess dietary intakes. Psychosomatic complaints profile was evaluated through a self-administered Persian validated questionnaire by using exploratory factor analysis. RESULTS: After controlling for potential confounders, individuals in the highest quintile of the MIND diet had lower risk for experiencing psychological (odds ratio (OR)  = 0.60, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.42, 0.86; P trend < 0.0001), and pharyngeal-respiratory (OR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.41, 0.79; P = 0.002). The association for neuro-skeletal complaints was marginally significant (OR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.43, 1.03; P = 0.093). The aMED diet tended to lower gastrointestinal complaints (OR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.46, 1.01; P = 0.062). CONCLUSION: The MIND diet was inversely associated with different psychosomatic complaints risk, but no evidence of such an association for the MED diet was observed.

Published: November 2020

Nesîmî, Azerî-Türk edebiyatının önemli isimlerinden biridir. Şiirlerinde Hak, yaratılış, mevcudat ve insan gibi hususları sorgulayan Nesîmî, bir şairden çok bir filozof edasındadır. Vahdet-i vücut düşüncesi onun hayat felsefesinin temel yapı taşlarındandır. Bu bağlamda Fazlullah-ı Hurûfî ve Hallac-ı Mansûr, Nesîmî’nin en çok etkilendiği şahsiyetlerdendir. Fikirlerini anlatmak için şiiri bir araç olarak kullanan şairin en önemli özelliklerinden biri de şiirlerini sade bir Türkçeyle terennüm etmesidir.
Nesîmî’nin hayatıyla ilgili farklı bilgiler mevcuttur. Kaynaklarda şairin gerçek ismi, doğum yeri ve zamanıyla ilgili muhtelif bilgiler mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada, Nesîmî Divanı’nda geçen iki şiir merkeze alınarak onun biyografisiyle kişilik özelliklerine dair tespit ve tahliller yapılmıştır. Ayrıca konu çerçevesinde şairin Divan’ında tespit edilen farklı şiirlerden de istifade edilmiştir.
