Admission controller design for high-speed networks: A hybrid system approach
Authors: Jagannathan S. 
Published: December 2024

A novel real-time discrete-event admission control (AC) scheme for high-speed networks is proposed with the aim of attaining a desired quality of service (QoS) and high network utilization. The AC uses the available capacity from a novel adaptive bandwidth estimation scheme, a congestion indicator derived from a congestion controller, Peak bit/cell Rate (PBR/PCR) estimate from new sources, along with the desired QoS metrics, and makes decisions whether to “admit” or “reject” new sources so that the QoS metrics and network utilization are met. The admission controller dynamics are expressed as a discrete-event system while the bandwidth estimator design-based on Lyapunov theory and the congestion controller dynamics are given in discrete-time. The novel aspect of the proposed approach is the application of hybrid system theory to prove the performance of the proposed admission controller, stability and the development of rigorous and repeatable design procedure. The performance of the proposed AC is evaluated using the QoS metrics, which are given in terms of service delay, packet/cell losses, and network utilization. Simulation results are presented by streaming ON/OFF and MPEG video data into the network. Results show that the proposed AC admits significantly more traffic compared to other available admission control schemes thereby guaranteeing high network utilization while maintaining the desired QoS.

Вимоги до зварювальних матеріалів, що використовувались під час виготовлення та експлуатації ядерних реакторів, засновані на стандартах 70–80-х років минулого сторіччя, які на сьогодні скасовані. Технічні умови та/або технічна документація на виготовлення зварювальних матеріалів розроблювалась профільними науковими установами під відповідними марками. Ці марки матеріалів згодом входили до переліку марок зварювальних матеріалів за відповідним ГОСТ на електроди, дріт тощо. Введені в дію нові національні стандарти пропонують інший підхід, який впроваджує класифікацію зварювальних матеріалів залежно від їх властивостей та хімічного складу, а виробники користуються цими класифікаційними ознаками для позначення властивостей своїх марок зварювальних матеріалів. Перехід від стандартизованих за ГОСТ марок зварювальних матеріалів до зварювальних матеріалів, що виготовляються за новими національними стандартами, потребує ретельного опрацювання.
У цій статті проаналізовано сучасні вимоги щодо класифікації наплавленого металу за механічними властивостями та хімічним складом, що встановлені чинними національними стандартами; запропоновано процедуру порівняльного аналізу класифікаційної належності наплавленого металу, що дозволяє визначити замінники радянських зварювальних матеріалів; запропоновано до практичного застосування процедуру переходу від стандартизованих за ГОСТ марок зварювальних матеріалів до марок зварювальних матеріалів за новими національними стандартами (ДСТУ EN ISO, ДСТУ EN, ДСТУ ISO).

The aim of the current study is to give the reader a comprehensive perception of the security contract in terms of its legitimacy pillars conditions types and provisions. It was attempted to discover the attitudes of scholars on this issue by presenting their trends and evidences with comparison and weighting. Qualitative approach was considered to reach this goal. First explained secondly the sharia texts and how scholars infer from the texts about the subject. Therefore the importance of this research comes as an attempt to clarify these rulings in Islamic sharia and the controls set by the Al-hakim lawgiver with applications to some contemporary standards the most important results obtained through this investigation are that Islamic jurisprudence has solid scientific foundation that can codify international relations. It benefits from the rules and rulings issued by international rulings. Then presents them to sharia law and adds to them what is consistent with the spirit of Islamic legislation. Such as wideness justice and forgiveness. Safety is a contract that indicates abandonment of fighting with warriors. If any of the enemy combatants asks for safety and it is accepted it is safe and it is not permissible to attack it in any way. Just as the imam provides security for an unspecified group, Individual Muslims are able to secure a limited number of fighters. And the contract of security from the side of the trustworthy is a non-binding contract but from the side of the Muslim believer, it is binding, according to the more correct opinion, and this contract results in effects, the most important of which are the rights of the person entrusted over the people of Dar al-Islam, such that some of them relate to the Islamic government and some of them are entrusted to the individuals in society, as well as the aspect related to Muslims and the Islamic state.

Authors: Aatta Tarik , Najib SLIMANI  
Published: December 2024

There is a scholarly consensus on the prominent role information and communication technologies (ICT) play in education, particularly in language teaching. In line with the ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) standards for educators, the present paper probes the roles EFL teachers play as ICT learners. It also sheds light on the significance of online professional development in promoting teachers’ continual upskilling. To this end, a quantitative survey questionnaire is administered to 55 high school teachers. Participants belong to the community of EFL teachers working in private schools in Marrakesh, Morocco. Results demonstrate a general interest among participants in taking part in online pedagogical interactions that promote ICT integration in the classroom. Most teachers are also willing to incorporate innovative technology-enhanced activities into their classroom practices and test their effectiveness. In the same vein, the majority of respondents expressed interest to enroll in online professional development. As far as active participation in local e- communities of teachers is concerned, a positive attitude is clearly noted among male participants, younger generations of teachers, and better internet users. On the other hand, a reticence to engage online with colleagues at international level is particularly tracked among more experienced teachers. In view of the above results, there is an incessant need to account for online professional development as well as the use of ICT tools in structured teacher training programs. In the same mode, both prospective and in-service teachers should be trained on the use of internet-based platforms through professional meetings and demo-lessons. From another scale, Awareness should be raised among practitioners, especially veteran teachers, about the merits of enrollment in e-communities of teachers and the benefits of digitizing their teaching practices on their professional development.

Free-roaming dogs in the environment (stray dogs) have been reported to be a reservoir of various gastrointestinal (GIT) parasites of significant public health importance worldwide. This study aims to determine the prevalence of GIT parasites in the stray dog population in Sabo Gwazunu, Suleja and within Suleja Township, of Niger State, Nigeria. Sixty fecal samples were randomly collected from stray dogs in each study area (community) between February and March 2024. The Sheather’s sugar floatation technique was used to examine various faecal samples, and the prevalence was calculated as the percentage of infected samples over the total number of samples examined. Overall, a total of thirteen GIT parasites belonging to Phylum Protozoa 3.33% (4/120), Platyhelminthes 3.33% (4/120), and Nematoda 4.16% (5/120), were found. A significant difference was observed in GIT prevalence between the study areas (P<0.05). GIT parasites found in stray dogs within Suleja township comprise Toxocara canis Eimeria sp, Strongyloides sp, Alaria sp, Cryptosporidium sp, Entamoeba sp, Ancylostoma sp, Dipylidium sp, Schistosoma sp, and Taenia sp. However, in Sabo Gwazunu, nine GIT parasites were found in stray dogs. These include Eimeria sp, T. canis, Trichuris sp, Physaloptera sp, Strongyloides sp, Dipylidium sp, Schistosoma sp, Alaria sp, and Taenia sp. Moreover, the prevalence of GIT in stray dogs in both communities was estimated at 91% (91/120). Given the public health and zoonotic significance of some gastrointestinal parasites observed in this study, it is essential to increase awareness about the need to control the stray dog population in the study areas.

ABSTRACT Preoperative fasting is a common practice in the surgical field, which aims to minimize complications and ensure patient safety. Understanding its impact and optimizing protocols are essential in clinical practice. This study analyzed the bibliometric and network overview of publications on the effects of extended preoperative fasting on patients, using VOSViewer. This bibliometric analysis explores the research landscape on the effects of extended preoperative fasting duration on patients. Using VOSViewer, this study identified key contributors and clusters in the literature, highlighting significant research gaps. Bibliometric methods were used to analyze publications regarding the effects of extended preoperative fasting. Using VOSViewer, this study identified key contributors and groups in the literature, which highlighted significant research gaps. Bibliometric methods were used to analyze publications regarding the effects of extended preoperative fasting. Data were aggregated and visualized using VOSViewer to map the publication network and identify thematic clusters. China and the UK emerged as the main contributors with 7 articles each, followed by Brazil and India. Three main clusters were identified: a red cluster focusing on fasting duration, side effects, dehydration risk, and intraoperative management; a blue cluster exploring the effects of fasting on surgical outcomes, hunger, and procedural aspects; and a green cluster addressing guideline development, elective surgery, and preoperative preparation. These findings underscore the importance of extended preoperative fasting in clinical practice and highlight significant research opportunities. Future research could focus on personalized fasting protocols, long-term effects, psychological impact, and innovative monitoring technologies to improve the quality of patient care.

Background: Lipid-lowering is an important intervention to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality after ST-Elevation myocardial infarction. This study aimed to assess the proportion of such patients achieving guideline-directed therapeutic low-density lipoprotein cholesterol targets while on lower-range high-intensity statin treatment.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted in Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre, a tertiary cardiac center in Kathmandu, Nepal, from November 2021 to July 2022 among admitted acute ST-Elevation myocardial infarction patients who were prescribed a lower range of high-intensity statin therapy, Atorvastatin 40mg and Rosuvastatin 20 mg. Clinical characteristics were collected, including lipid parameters at baseline during admission and three months after the treatment. The proportion attaining the guideline-recommended levels was calculated and compared between each statin group. Results: A total of 240 patients were included in this study. The target low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level of less than 1.4mmol/L was noted only in 16.3% and the target reduction by ≥50% from baseline only in 7.1%. Just 3.3 % achieved a target of <1.4 mmol/L and ≥50% reduction from baseline. However, 40.8% of the participants in our study met the 2012 European Society of Cardiology guidelines’ target achievement of less than 1.8 mmol/L. Conclusions: The overall proportion of patients attaining recommended low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels after recent ST-Elevation myocardial infarction was low when patients were prescribed with a lower range of high-intensity statin, reflecting the need for rigorous follow up including monitoring of lipid levels and intensification of statin dose and type as recommended by international guidelines.Keywords: Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol; secondary prevention; statin; statin intensity; ST-Elevation myocardial infarction.

Authors: Baral Gehanath , Marahatta Sujanbabu , Singh Sumer 
Published: December 2024

Background: The Logic model was primarily used in educational programs and then to evaluate tuberculosis control, cervical cancer prevention programs, and cardiovascular disease in health. Unlike cervical cancer, there is a gap in screening for ovarian cancer. However, clinical services exist. Thus, the Logic model has been used to evaluate the service standards for the secondary prevention of ovarian cancer.Methods: This is the multi-centric service evaluation research adopted from the Logic Model. There are four domains namely utility, feasibility, propriety, and accuracy standards in the Logic model that includes 53 question items altogether for each participant. For each item, the participants responded on a Likert scale to assess their satisfaction with the service provided to the patients. There are 5-point satisfaction levels from strongly disagree to agree strongly. The internal consistency of items was calculated and the factor analysis was performed. Software used were Microsoft Excel, SPSS, SPSS Amos, and R. Results: The agreement level of all specialist participants was satisfactory for the current prediction and management approach to ovarian cancer with a median value of 73.5% towards positive sentiment. Cronbach’s alfa was at an acceptable level of more than 0.8 for utility, feasibility, and accuracy domains. The propriety domain had poor yield. Chi-squared test-based model fit is good (Baseline and Factor Models <0.001) and Barlott’s test of sphericity is likely to work (X2=5460.242, df=1378, and p<0.001). Other confirmatory factors were not at an acceptable level.Conclusions: The logic model may work to predict ovarian cancer with an acceptable level of reliability, however for the perfect fit it requires a larger sample size.Keywords: Factor analysis; logic model; ovarian cancer; satisfaction.
