Flexible Group Service MAP/ PH/ 1 Queueing Model with Working Breakdown, Repair and Balking
Authors: S Kalaiarasi , G Ayyappan 
Published: December 2024

In reality, there are many uses of queues where services are provided in groups and these type of queues are widely studied in the literature. In this paper we examine a particular queueing model, wherein the services are provided in groups ranging from 1 to a pre defined constant, denoted as K, and the arrival follows a Markovian arrival process. The service time of each individual customer follows phase type distribution. The maximum of each customers individual service time within a group is defined as the group's service time. At the service completion moment if there are fewer customers than K, the server won't begin the subsequent service until the system's customer size reaches K or a randomly assigned admission period expires, whichever happens first. The phase type representation of the service times depends on the group's size. Anytime a server breakdowns and it will not proceed to repair, instead it will serve the affected customer group at a slower pace. After that specific customer group's service is finished, the server will immediately undergo repair to fix any issues. The process of repair and breakdown occurs at exponential rate. When the server breakdowns, the customer might balk. The Markov chain's stability condition is determined and stationary probability vector is computed. Formulas for the primary system performance measures are given. Numerical and graphical representations of the proposed model are illustrated.

Authors: Stajloo Ebrahim , Niri Hassan Haddadzade , Maarefvand Mohammad , Mazaheryazdi Malihah 
Published: December 2024

Background and Aim: Wideband Tympanometry (WBT) evaluation of the middle ear is a more accurate approach to identifying middle ear disorders, especially in infants and neonates. Therefore, the need to achieve WBT normative values in the infant population seems obvious. This study aims to evaluate the normative wideband tympanometry values measured in birth to 2-months Iranian infants.
Methods: Sixty-four infants participated in this study, including 9 girls and 11 boys in the age group of 0–14 days and 17 girls and 27 boys in the age group of 15–60 days.
Results: The normative range of the mean resonance frequency in the first and second age groups was between 298–323 Hz and 324–339 Hz, respectively. At the frequencies of 500 Hz and 1000 Hz, the effect of age groups, at the frequency of 2000 Hz, the effect of age groups, gender, and ear side, at the frequency of 6349 Hz, the effect of gender and age groups, and finally at the frequency of 8000 Hz, the effect of gender in different modes was observed. The normative range of the mean ear canal volume in the first and second age groups was between 0.41–0.38 ml and 0.42–0.46 ml, respectively. The normative range of mean peak tympanometric pressure in the first and second age groups was between –21 to 32 daPa and –8 to 25 daPa.
Conclusion: The use of separate norms for males and females in different situations may increase the sensitivity and specificity of the wideband tympanometry.
Keywords: Wideband tympanometry; normative values; infant
Evaluation of Chelidonium Majus L. Alkaloid Effect on VEGF Gene Expression and Cell Apoptosis in the Burkitt Lymphoma Cell Line
Authors: Natanzi Mitra Sadeghpour , Parsania Masoud , Ashrafi Fatemeh , Pouriayevali Mohammad Hassan 
Published: December 2024

Background: Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a type of mature B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that commonly develops in children and young adults. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is acknowledged as a vital regulator of angiogenesis in both normal and disease states. In light of the adverse effects linked to chemical treatments, this study aimed to explore the anticancer effects of Chelidonium majus L. alkaloid on the Daudi BL cell line and to evaluate the expression of the VEGF gene.
Materials and Methods: This project was an experimental study. The cytotoxic effects of the alkaloid derived from Chelidonium majus L. on the Daudi and normal cells were evaluated using MTT assays (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide). The induction of apoptosis in cells was measured utilizing Annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) flow cytometry. Additionally, the expression levels of the VEGF gene were determined via a Real-time PCR assay. Data were entered into SPSS, version 21. Student’s t-test and ANOVA test were used for comparisons of groups.
Results: The 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50) of the alkaloid from Chelidonium majus L. was found to be 56.35µg/mL in the Daudi cell. Findings from flow cytometry aligned with those from MTT assays. Real-time PCR assay results showed a significant decrease in the VEGF gene expression (P<0.009). Effects observed after 48 hours of treatment across various concentrations of Chelidonium majus L. alkaloid demonstrated dose-dependency. However, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) as a control, the alkaloid did not significantly affect the expression of the VEGF gene (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The alkaloid is derived from Chelidonium majusL. Appears to influence angiogenesis by down-regulating the VEGF gene expression, suggesting its potential as a complementary agent in chemotherapy for Burkitt lymphoma. However; further research is required to evaluate the effectiveness of the Chelidonium majusL. Extract as a definitive treatment for Burkitt lymphoma.

Published: December 2024

O fracasso da aprendizagem apresenta índices significativos no processo de alfabetização e medicalização do fracasso escolar, pois se fortaleceu e se ampliou o número de encaminhamentos com supostos distúrbios clínicos no ambiente escolar. Argumenta-se neste texto sobre o sujeito escolar modelar proposto pela educação no Brasil e os outros tipos de sujeitos da aprendizagem que não se enquadram ao modelo de aluno ideal. Para tal, é apresentada a perspectiva de considerar a língua oral e a língua escrita como análogas, assim como dos entraves que tal analogia traz para o processo de aprendizagem da língua escrita. Portanto, este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar elementos para análise de que a alfabetização é um processo que implica o bilinguismo cultural. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, de abordagem qualitativa e de natureza descritiva.
