Background
Reproductive well-being is a crucial element of women’s health. Due to the asymptomatic nature of gynaecological morbidities, women rarely seek medical advice in the initial period leading to delayed diagnosis and poor prognosis of subsequent disease. The present study aimed to explore the cervical cytology and its associated risk factors among women from tribal communities of the southern part of coastal Karnataka, India.

Methods
Papanicolaou (Pap) smear test was performed among 1140 women from three tribal populations, to detect cervical lesions, infections and reactive changes. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered to collect data on socio-demographic and reproductive characteristics of the study population.

Results
The most predominant gynaecological complaint among the participants was severe lower back ache (77.6%), followed by white discharge per vagina (29.0%) and menstrual irregularities (25.9%). Of the 1140 women screened, 12.4% showed cervical microbial infections, 23.6% were reported to have reactive changes, and 0.2% had epithelial cell abnormalities in the cervix. Cervical microbial infections were found to be associated with younger age group, low socio-economic status and younger age at sexual debut.

Conclusion
Most of the symptoms suggestive of gynaecological morbidities reported in this study are preventable or treatable. Strengthening ongoing cervical cancer screening programme and implementation of health education programmes among tribal population would be the right policy approach to prevent, detect and treat these symptoms at an early stage and to achieve acceptable health outcomes among tribal women.
Statistics of Electron Avalanches and Streamers
Authors: Ficker T. 
Published: March 2021

We have studied the severe systematic deviations of populations of electron avalanches from the Furry distribution, which has been held to be the statistical law corresponding to them, and a possible explanation has been sought. A new theoretical concept based on fractal avalanche multiplication has been proposed and is shown to be a convenient candidate for explaining these deviations from Furry statistics.
A New Design Method for Industrial Portal Frames in Fire
Authors: Song Y. , Huang Z. , Burgess I. , Plank R. 
Published: March 2021

Industrial portal frames near to other buildings must keep their vertical walls standing in fire in order to prevent fire spread. A recently developed analysis, implemented in the program Vulcan, using a combination of static and dynamic solvers, has shown that the strong base connections recommended by the current design method may not always lead to conservative design. A second-phase failure mechanism observed in numerical modelling, and the critical temperature at which final run-away collapse occurs, may be higher than the temperature at which the roof frame initially loses its stability, because a re-stabilisation often happens. A new method for estimating critical temperatures of portal frames in fire, using these two failure mechanisms, is presented. Numerical tests on typical industrial frames are used to calibrate this new method.
Automated Classification of Analysis- and Reference Cells for Cancer Diagnostics in Microscopic Images of Epithelial Cells from the Oral Mucosa
Authors: Schneider T. E. 
Published: March 2021

To get the best possible chance of healing, cancer has to be detected as early as possible. As cancer starts within a single cell, cytopathological methods offer the possibility of early detection. One such method is standardized DNA image cytometry. For this, the diagnostically relevant cells have to be found within each specimen, which is currently performed manually. Since this is a time-consuming process, a preselection of diagnostically relevant cells has to be performed automatically. For specimens of the oral mucosa this involves distinguishing between undoubted healthy epithelial cells and possibly cancerous epithelial cells. Based on cell images from a brightfield light microscope, a set of morphological and textural features was implemented. To identify highly distinctive feature subsets the sequential forward floating search method is used. For these feature sets k-nearest neighbor and fuzzy k-nearest neighbor classifiers as well as support vector machines were trained. On a validation set of cells it could be shown that normal and possibly cancerous cells can be distinguished at overall rates above 95.5 % for different classifiers, enabling us to choose the support vector machine with a set of two features only as the classifier with the lowest computational costs.

AbstractAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most frequent neurodegenerative disorder that commonly causes dementia in the elderly. Recent evidence indicates that network abnormalities, including hypersynchrony, altered oscillatory rhythmic activity, interneuron dysfunction, and synaptic depression, may be key mediators of cognitive decline in AD. In this review, we discuss characteristics of neuronal network excitability in AD, and the role of Aβ and tau in the induction of network hyperexcitability. Many patients harboring genetic mutations that lead to increased Aβ production suffer from seizures and epilepsy before the development of plaques. Similarly, pathologic accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau has been associated with hyperexcitability in the hippocampus. We present common and divergent roles of tau and Aβ on neuronal hyperexcitability in AD, and hypotheses that could serve as a template for future experiments.

Introduction: Some parameters used to diagnose sarcopenia and functional autonomy disorders can lead to interpretation and classification errors.
Objective: To analyze sarcopenia markers and their relationship with the strength and gait of physically active older women aged between 55 and 76 years.
Materials and Methods: Analytical observational study conducted in 178 physically active Colombian women who were distributed in two age groups (group 1: 55-66 years, n=98, and group 2: 67-76 years, n=80). A multiple linear regression model was used to establish possible correlations between strength and gait indicators (dependent variables) and body composition (independent variables).
Results: Fat mass and appendicular mass (appendicular lean/height2(kg/m2)) explained power variance in the lower limbs in group 1 (G1) (SJ: p=0.001, R2=0.56; CMJ: p=0.001, R2=0.51; CMJAS: R2=0.60, p=0.001). Similar results were observed in group 2 (G2) (SJ: R2=0.32, DW1=2.14; CMJ: R2=0.51, DW2=2.38; CMJAS: R2=0.41, DW3=2.56). Furthermore, fat mass explained variance in gait pattern in G1 and G2 differently (G1: p=-0.006; R2=20%; G2: p=-0.001; R2=29%).
Conclusion: Recording fat and appendicular mass allow studying negative changes in lower limb strength and their effect on gait pattern, as well as identifying the type of sarcopenia and functional autonomy disorders in physically active Colombian women aged 55 to 76 years.
The Eucharist and the Holy Trinity. The liturgical aspect
Authors: Królikowski Janusz 
Published: March 2021

Christian faith is based on the mystery of the Holy Trinity which, therefore, plays an indispensable role in the understanding of the particular truths of faith. This statement refers also to the Eucharist. The New Testament, especially the Gospel of John, conveys an explicit depiction of the links between the Holy Trinity and the Eucharist. The New Testament tradition has found its continuation in theology, and it has been predominantly seen in the Eucharistic Prayers. This paper highlights certain Trinitarian aspects of the mystery of the Eucharist, in order to point out further possibilities, both for deepening the understanding of this mystery and for more integral incorporation of it into faith and Christian experience.
Symbolism of the Rural and Suburban Landscape of the Holy Land in the New Testament
Authors: Mirošević Lena , Krasicki Arkadiusz , Faričić Josip 
Published: March 2021

The article discusses the symbolism of the rural and suburban landscape of the Holy Land in the New Testament. Based on the results of previous geographical and theological (exegetical) research of certain elements of the natural and cultural landscape, and studies of biblical texts and descriptions of landscape motifs in areas where Jesus Christ lived and worked, the article attempts to point out the symbolism that enriches mere facts about the geographical reality of the Holy Land. It has been determined that the most important natural-geographical forms and phenomena are clearly recognized in the rural and suburban landscape of the Holy Land, while the identity of the Jewish community formed by different human activities and ways of life is imprinted in the cultural landscape, which includes a related web of multiple dualities: the real and the imaginary, the natural and the supernatural, and the material and the spiritual.
The First Relationship – the Experience of Fundamental Trust as a Foundation for the Development of Faith
Authors: Skubic Metka 
Published: March 2021

The article is an important starting point for reflecting upon the emergence and development of fundamental trust through the first, primary relationship between the newborn and the parent. The birth of the first child signifies establishment of a family system, in which the concepts and mechanisms that Relational Family Therapy is built upon, are reflected on a systemic, interpersonal and intrapsychic level. Relational Family Therapy can find a way to resolve painful psychical contents and bring about a relief of the family system. The starting point for the study of the family described in this paper is the method of observing newborn behavior, the Newborn Behavioral Observations System (hereinafter NBO) with elements of Relational Family Therapy, which significantly helps to build a confident parental role and establishes a closer relationship between parents and children, thus forming the foundation for all further relationships.

Sudden cardiac arrest is the most common single cause of death in the contemporary world, but the proportion of survivors is increasing thanks to modern intensive methods of hospital treatment. However, data show that survivors experience high rates of neurological and cognitive deficits and poorer emotional well-being, which is a major challenge in treating these individuals and encouraging their integration in everyday life. These issues range from a number of emotional problems, such as anxiety and depression, to lower levels of participation in social life and a low rate of return to their workplace. The need for security and support increases because of the feelings of insecurity, vulnerability and fear of the recurrence of symptoms. Relatives/caregivers who report emotional problems and a higher level of post-traumatic stress are physically and mentally burdened, too. Hence, sudden cardiac arrest is a life-threatening event which is traumatic for survivors and their close relatives. It triggers strong emotional responses that are characteristic of all types of trauma (reliving the trauma, avoidance, negative thoughts and mood, increased agitation). People who have survived trauma thus suffer long-term effects, which are reflected in various dysfunctional behaviours and activities due to inadequate regulation of affective states. Because of these issues, there is a need for effective interventions that can psychologically help patients and relatives after surviving sudden cardiac arrest. In this paper, we will present the model of Relational Family Therapy, which can enable survivors and their relatives to appropriately emotionally-affectively process this experience and thus more appropriately integrate into a new way of life. With the qualitative research method of task analysis, we will show the process of change, which is based on the establishment of a new regulation of affect and allows in-depth processing of difficult emotional states after this event.

AbstractThe archaic definition and registration processes for stillbirth currently prevalent in Canada impede both clinical care and public health. The situation is fraught because of definitional problems related to the inclusion of induced abortions at ≥20 weeks’ gestation as stillbirths: widespread uptake of prenatal diagnosis and induced abortion for serious congenital anomalies has resulted in an artefactual temporal increase in stillbirth rates in Canada and placed the country in an unfavourable position in international (stillbirth) rankings. Other problems with the Canadian stillbirth definition and registration processes extend to the inclusion of fetal reductions (for multi-fetal pregnancy) as stillbirths, and the use of inconsistent viability criteria for reporting stillbirth. This paper reviews the history of stillbirth registration in Canada, provides a rationale for updating the definition of fetal death and recommends a new definition and improved processes for fetal death registration. The recommendations proposed are intended to serve as a starting point for reformulating issues related to stillbirth, with the hope that building a consensus regarding a definition and registration procedures will facilitate clinical care and public health.

Published: March 2021

Recommender systems are the backbone of all the prediction-based service platforms e.g. Facebook, Amazon, LinkedIn etc. Even companies now a days are using the recommender systems to show users personalized ads. These service providers capture the right audience for their services/ products and hence, improve overall sales. Social networking platforms are using recommender systems for connecting people of similar interests which is almost impossible without recommender systems. Collaborative filtering-based recommender system is most widely used recommender system. It is used in this research to predict the rating for a specific movie. Accuracy of the prediction define the performance of the overall system. The quality of predictions is degraded by the attackers by injection of fake profiles. In this paper, the various types of profile injection attacks are explained and the attack scenario gets extended to measure the performance of these attacks. Empirical results on the real world publicly available data set shows that these attacks are highly vulnerable. The impact of these attacks in several conditions has been measured and it is tried to find the scenarios where these attacks are more powerful.

Published: March 2021

Project portfolio management is an integrated way to achieve the strategic goals of the organization through the evaluation, prioritization, selection and management of projects, plans and other related tasks based on their involvement in the organization’s strategies and goals. Contractor companies in construction industry, that have different strategic goals and projects, always face high uncertainties in their projects; But they all have one thing in common, which it is not possible for them to implement all projects at the same time due to the limitations of resources (financial resources, human resources, equipment and machinery); Therefore they should try to achieve their strategic goals by identifying, evaluating, prioritizing and selecting the right projects by using portfolio management processes.
Mentioning this necessity, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive and realistic model for portfolio management of contractor companies in construction industry. So that each construction company with its unique strategic goals and constraints, can apply it. The proposed model has three basic steps of project identification, evaluation and selection; In the first step, all the organization’s strategic goals, criteria and projects of the organization are identified, then in the second step, using a combination of AHP and SAW methods and fuzzy logic, a multi-objective decision problem to prioritizing projects based on goals (Each goal represents a group) is addressed; finally in the third stage, using the event tree (ET) method, all possible scenarios from the project’s combinations (probable portfolios) are identified and according to the limitations and points of each scenario , the best scenarios are selected.

Published: March 2021

With the pandemic grabbing up places all over the world, the decline in businesses, macro and micro, is inevitable. Among these businesses is the retail sector which plays an important role for any economy. Retail sector covers all the basic necessities that a human being needs.
Retail sector is dependent on many factors that drive the sales of a company and the most vital one is the customer retention. With eruption of technology it is highly important to underscore the importance of social media and advanced technology. The main reason for that is the number of options the customers have. Due to this the switching cost is low. From the porter’s analysis, we can clearly conclude that the bargaining power of the buyer is high for most retail commodities.
Many customers are loyal towards a brand because of the brand image, so it is highly important that a company fulfills its CSR programs in a way that can grab the attention of the customers and glue them to the brand. This brand image can also be connected to the store ambience.
This study is based on various factors that are perceived by the customers as of value and how these factors can enhance the customer retention.

Authors: Lohia Palak 
Published: March 2021

In the first MPC meeting held on 27.03.20, Finance Minister of India, Nirmala Sitharaman and the Governor of RBI, Shaktikanta Das announced a moratorium of three months on all loans and credit card instalments due between 1st March and 31st May initially, which was later extended to 31st August, in order to provide relief to the borrowers in the economy, in the current scenario of losses. Loans being on moratorium are supposed to have zero impact on the credit history of the borrower concerned, which means a no default situation.
Now, banking sector, which is the backbone of any economy, will have to carry the burden of this year for many more years to come. In this paper, it has been attempted to study the impact of the decision of putting the loans on moratorium on the banking industry of India, adding to the ever existing issue of high NPAs.
