Age and gender distribution among the patients with Gilbert’s syndrome
Authors: Volkov A. N. , Tsurkan E. V. 
Published: July 2021

Aim. To analyze age and gender distribution in patients with Gilbert's syndrome.Materials and Methods. We consecutively recruited 115 patients with Gilbert's syndrome. All patients underwent genotyping of the rs8175347 polymorphism within the UGT1A1 gene using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction to confirm the diagnosis.Results. The age of initial diagnosis ranged from 3 years to 71 years, with the majority (44.3%) of cases detected ≤ 20 years of age. Mean ± standard error and median age of the diagnosis were 30.03 ± 1.72 years and 23 years. Despite the proportion of females and males among patients was similar, age distribution at primary diagnosis was significantly different across the genders. In women, Gilbert's syndrome was most frequently detected between 11 and 20 years (23.1%) and between 51 and 60 years (19.2%). In contrast, male adolescents were more prone to the development of Gilbert's syndrome, as 47.6% of male patients belonged to this age category.Conclusions. Variable age of Gilbert's syndrome diagnosis is probably determined by an individual combination of genetic causes (e.g., mutation of the UGT1A1 gene) and additional risk factors. Adolescents compose a significant proportion of patients. Because of relatively mild disease in many patients and unpredictability of the provoking factors, primary detection of Gilbert's syndrome can be delayed. Differences in age of Gilbert's syndrome diagnosis across the genders can be partially explained by organizational reasons associated with the current screening programs.

Post-neoliberalismo, post-pandemia Covid-19 y sociedad civil global
Authors: Matsushita Kiyoshi 
Published: July 2021

La globalización neoliberal impulsa los procesos sociales, económicos, culturales e ideológicos en todo el mundo en el siglo XXI, lo que precede a la división de cada nación, comunidad, región y el patrón de pensamiento, incluyendo la construcción de muros, un gran número de refugiados y emigraciones, y muchos conflictos y actividades terroristas.
Según el informe de Oxfam de 2019, se crea un nuevo multimillonario cada dos días y las 26 personas más ricas del mundo poseen tanto como el 50% más pobre. Al aumentar esta polarización y desigualdad, la globalización neoliberal alimentó el problema crónico de la sobreacumulación y la militarización.
Este artículo se centra en el presente de la globalización neoliberal bajo la pandemia del covid-19. Significa una reconsideración crítica del capitalismo moderno que trae ahora una profunda miseria a la historia de la humanidad, incluyendo la pobreza, los refugiados, la inmigración, los crímenes transnacionales, el cambio climático y la pandemia. Además, se violan los derechos humanos fundamentales como consecuencia del control supremo del mercado, la competencia y la desregulación por parte de las empresas multinacionales.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) plays an important role in malaria management and control. The Pf HRP2 based RDT kit is the most widely used RDT for malaria diagnosis in Nigeria but is affected by the deletion of HRP2 gene in Plasmodium falciparum parasites. Therefore, identifying the prevalence and distribution of Plasmodium falciparum parasites with deleted Pf HRP2 is important for malaria control. Pf HRP2 gene deletion was assessed in this study by first carrying out Giemsa stained thick blood film microscopy and Pf HRP2 RDT strip test. The samples were further analyzed for molecular examination by PCR assay for multiple single–copy genes (Pf Cox3, Pf HRP2, Pf HRP3 and Pf Beta tubulin). This study found the existence of eight (8) Plasmodium falciparum isolates lacking the HRP2 gene in the samples analyzed, this necessitates the need to develop a unique RDT Kit targeting other housekeeping genes unique for Plasmodium falciparum with far greater sensitivity than the current ones as to reduce the chances of false negative RDT result as well as developing unique RDT Kits targeting both PfHRP2 and PfHRP3 genes concomitantly in order to reduce the chances of having a false positive RDT results.
Effects of massively multiplayer online roleplaying games on psychological health and inter-personal relationships of the male youth: A cross-sectional study in sub-urban Kolkata, West Bengal, India
Authors: Mukherjee Soumabrata , Mallick Akash , Biswas Subir 
Published: July 2021

Gaming related experiences and addictive behaviours are emerging causes of adverse psycho-social health such as depression, anxiety, in adolescents and young adults around the world. Nonetheless, there remains a dearth of information relating to adolescents and young adults in India, a country which has millions of gamers.
Present study examined the effects of massively multiplayer online role-playing games on the psychological health and inter-personal relationships of adolescents and young male adults of sub-urban Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
Questionnaires were used to collect data on socio-economic and lifestyle traits, psychological health and inter-personal relationships were obtained from both gamers (n = 150) and non-gamers (n = 150). Data on gaming experiences and addiction were obtained only from gamers. MANCOVA and linear regression were performed to understand the effects of socio-economic and lifestyle traits, gaming experience and addiction traits on psychological health and inter-personal relationships of gamers.
Study findings revealed that both gamers and non-gamers derived from a similar age group (mean age = 19.94 years) and socio-economic cluster. Disparities in psychological health in terms of depression, anxiety and stress and inter-personal relationship in terms of parent and peer attachments were present across social groups and between gamers and non-gamers. Various problematic gaming experiences and gaming related addictive behaviours resulted in poor psychological health and inter-personal relationship with parents and peers.
Male gamers were at high risk to develop adverse psychological health and poor inter-personal relationships with parents and peers due to problematic gaming experience and gaming addiction. Proper education and counselling regarding the beneficial and detrimental sides of gaming may ensure better psycho-social health of adolescents and young adults in India.
Anhydrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia – A Cause of Prolonged Fever in Infant

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Ectodermal dysplasia is a group of conditions characterized by abnormal development of ectodermal tissues including the skin, hair, teeth and sweat glands. Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (Christ-Siemens-Touraine Syndrome) is only one of this large and heterogenous group, but is the most frequent. An inability to sweat (anhidrosis) can lead to high body temperature (hyperthermia), because the body cannot cool itself by evaporating sweat. The authors present the diagnostic difficulties in an infant with this condition, in which prolonged fever was the dominant symptom.
Indicators of Iodine Status in Pregnancy and Postpartum in a Group of Pregnant Women from Perimarine Area of Romania
Authors: Olesea Scrinic , Elena Delia Corina , Mirela Toma Geanina , Eduard Circo 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Objective: Assessment of iodine nutritional status in pregnant women in the perimarine area of Romania, a region without iodine deficiency. Adequate iodine intake is the main source for normal thyroid function, ensuring the need for maternal thyroid hormones during pregnancy, but also for the development and growth of children in the fetal and postpartum period.
Material and method: Prospective study performed on 74 pregnant women in the first 2 trimesters of pregnancy, originating from the perimarin area. The following indicators of iodine status were analyzed: urinary iodine concentration (UIC), the ratio between urinary iodine concentration and urinary creatinine (UIC/UCr), the prevalence of maternal goiter and the value of neonatal TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). Results: The mean gestational age was 11 weeks. The ways of iodine intake are: iodized salt - 59.4%, iodized salt and iodine supplements- 23%, only iodine supplements -10.8% and 6.8% consume only non-iodized salt. The median of UIC was 133.03 mcg/l considered insufficient iodine intake (normal in pregnancy UIC >150 mcg/l), but the adjustment of UIC to urinary creatinine reveals a median of 152.83 mcg/g, a value that reflects an adequate iodine intake. The prevalence of goiter was 25.6% characteristic for a moderate iodine deficiency. The prevalence of neonatal TSH >5 mIU/L was registered in 18.8% characteristic of mild iodine deficiency. Conclusions: Monitoring of the iodine nutritional status is recommended for the prevention of disorders due to iodine deficiency under the conditions of universal salt iodization. Perimarine areas considered sufficient in iodine may show variations in iodine status in subpopulations under certain physiological conditions, such as pregnancy. An indicator of iodine status of the population is UIC, but the UIC/UCr ratio may be a more optimal indicator for pregnant women, to avoid possible overestimated results of iodine deficiency in pregnancy.
A Recursive and Parallelized Dynamic Programming Implementation of Hard Merkle-Hellman Knapsack System for Public Key Cryptography
Authors: Rahul Vaddadi Sai , Prasanth N. Narayanan , Raja S. P. 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Merkle-Hellman public key cryptosystem is a long-age old algorithm used in cryptography. Despite being computationally fast, for very large input sizes it may operate slower due to thread creation overhead or reaching a deadlock situation. In this paper, we discuss the working principles of the Traditional Merkle-Hellman knapsack cryptosystem, which is an Easy knapsack. The challenges of Hard Knapsack and how it overcomes the shortcomings of the Traditional Easy Knapsack, are also discussed. The Hard knapsack variant of Merkle-Hellman is solved first using plain recursion and then improvised using a dynamic programming approach to the problem. Parallelism and Concurrency has been achieved on the dynamic programming implementation using OpenMP API which further has enhanced the performance time. A comparative study of both variants of Hard Knapsack for messages of different lengths has shown that the latter is faster.
Computation of Trusted Short Weierstrass Elliptic Curves for Cryptography
Authors: Abhishek Kunal , Raj E. George Dharma Prakash 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Short Weierstrass elliptic curves with underlying hard Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP) are widely used in cryptographic applications. A notion of security called Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) security is also suggested in literature to safeguard the elliptic curve cryptosystems from their implementation flaws. In this paper, a new security notion called the “trusted security” is introduced for computational method of elliptic curves for cryptography. We propose three additional “trusted security acceptance criteria” which need to be met by the elliptic curves aimed for cryptography. Further, two cryptographically secure elliptic curves over 256 bit and 384 bit prime fields are demonstrated which are secure from ECDLP, ECC as well as trust perspectives. The proposed elliptic curves are successfully subjected to thorough security analysis and performance evaluation with respect to key generation and signing/verification and hence, proven for their cryptographic suitability and great feasibility for acceptance by the community.
An Enhanced Semantic Focused Web Crawler Based on Hybrid String Matching Algorithm
Authors: Sakunthala Prabha K. S. , Mahesh C. , Raja S. P. 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Topic precise crawler is a special purpose web crawler, which downloads appropriate web pages analogous to a particular topic by measuring cosine similarity or semantic similarity score. The cosine based similarity measure displays inaccurate relevance score, if topic term does not directly occur in the web page. The semantic-based similarity measure provides the precise relevance score, even if the synonyms of the given topic occur in the web page. The unavailability of the topic in the ontology produces inaccurate relevance score by the semantic focused crawlers. This paper overcomes these glitches with a hybrid string-matching algorithm by combining the semantic similarity-based measure with the probabilistic similarity-based measure. The experimental results revealed that this algorithm increased the efficiency of the focused web crawlers and achieved better Harvest Rate (HR), Precision (P) and Irrelevance Ratio (IR) than the existing web focused crawlers achieve.
Detailed Monte Carlo analysis of the secondary photons coming out of the therapeutic X-ray beam of linear accelerator

Published: July 2021

Abstract
External photon beam radiotherapy is often used in tumor treatment. The photons are generated from the target which had stricken by the primary electron beam (incident particles). The photon beam contains the primary photons coming directly from the target and secondary photons coming from the photon interactions with head component materials (scattered photons). Altogether is thereafter used in radiotherapy treatment. This Monte Carlo study aims to investigate and evaluate the secondary radiations (photons) in terms of fluence, energy fluence, spectral distribution, mean energy and angular spread distribution.
The secondary photons, which contributed in radiotherapy treatment, are examined and evaluated in number (fluence) and energy. At the phantom surface, the secondary photons originated in the whole linac head are mainly coming from the primary collimator. In 0.45% of secondary photons coming from the whole linac head, the primary collimator contributes by 86% and they are more energetic. However, the flattening filter and the secondary collimator contribute together by less than 14% and their photons are less energetic and then can deteriorate the beam dosimetry quality. To improve the radiotherapy treatment quality, the number of photons of low energy should be as low as possible in the clinical beam. Our work can be a basic investigation to use in the improvement of linac head configuration and specially the beam modifiers.
Gendered and Gender-Neutral Character of Public Places in Algeria
Authors: Rahmani Lyes , Messaoudene Maha 
Published: July 2021

AbstractThis article aims to determine whether Algerian public spaces are gendered or gender neutral and to deduce the place of women in this type of hedonistic aesthetic consumption space. A non-probability sample of 363 individuals allowed us to collect the necessary data on the basis of an experiential scale designed for Algerian public spaces. This scale offers us the possibility of measuring their spatial and phenomenal experiential tendency. In other words, it allows us to evaluate the potential of their sensorial, relational, emotional, cognitive, behavioural spaces, their urban environments and their spirits of the place. This scale has undergone the tests of reliability and validity laid down by Churchill. It has also undergone the latest generation confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) method. Due to the non-normality of the sample distribution, we applied non-parametric tests in our analysis. The Mann Whitney U tests were used to calculate and compare the indices of spatial and phenomenal segregation of public places. The results revealed the gendered or gender-neutral nature of the three public places with their respective mapping. In the end, on the basis of the cultural dimensions of Hofstede, we were able to get to know the populations of the cities in our case studies that require urgent awareness-raising action. This promotes gender equality and especially the right of women to use and occupy hedonic public spaces without any conditions or prejudice.
