Hyperglycemia Induced by COVID-19 with and without Present Diabetes: A Systematic Review
Authors: Mahardhika Gembong Satria 
Published: July 2021

Abstract—COVID-19 is a major emerging disease that affects any certain condition. However, a recent report suggests the occurrence of hyperglycemia without any present diabetes in COVID-19 patients. This study aimed to systematically review recent evidence on hyperglycemia in COVID-19 patients. Literature research was done using four search engines, consist of Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest, and limited to English manuscript only and published from February 2020 to September 2020. SARS-CoV-2 could damage the pancreas by causing the destruction of the β-cell structure that leads to impairment of glucose metabolism and worsen pre-existing diabetes or determine the appearance of hyperglycemia in non-diabetes. Inflammation also plays a major important role in hyperglycemia related to COVID-19. Hyperglycemia increased the vulnerability of the lung, by promoting and facilitating the entry of the SARS-CoV-2 into the host cells, and decreasing lung function. Moreover, the mortality and morbidity rate conceivable increased due to hyperglycemia. The presence of high glucose levels is linked with the progression of COVID-19 severity. Thus, the glucose level should be concerned, either in a patient with present diabetes or without any presence of diabetes. Examination and monitoring of glucose levels might be a useful tool to prevent the seriousness of COVID-19

¿Una nueva forma de hacer política? Modos de gobernanza participativa y Ayuntamientos del cambio en España (2015-2019)
Authors: Mérida Juan , Tellería Imanol 
Published: July 2021

Este artículo analiza las transformaciones en los modos de gobernanza a raíz de la implementación de nuevos mecanismos de participación introducidos por los “Ayuntamientos del Cambio” de cuatro ciudades españolas, Zaragoza, Valladolid, A Coruña y Pamplona durante el periodo 2015-2019. En un contexto de urbanismo de austeridad (Peck, 2012), y desde el Enfoque Estratégico Relacional (EER) (Jessop, 2017) que entiende el Estado como una relación social, la investigación analiza a partir de un marco operativo innovador de qué manera las políticas participativas introducidas por dichos ayuntamientos modifican la selectividad estratégica heredada. Es decir, si se establece una nueva red de políticas públicas (policy network) más inclusiva y participativa. Demostramos como la apuesta municipalista supone una ruptura con la etapa neoliberal de austeridad generada entre 2003-2007 en España, la cual habría erosionado las prácticas y culturas participativas que afloraron en la década de los noventa y comienzos de los dos mil (Davies y Blanco, 2017).

Heavy metals concentration in the soils and sediments has increased worldwide during the last century as a result of the rapid increase in population which combined by an increase in human activity as agriculture, industrial and many other activities. Ten soil and three river sediment samples were collected from 10 main sampling stations at Shatt Al-Hilla River from Sada area to Dora Bridge in Babylon province. The chemical analysis of the sedimentation sample in the laboratory included pH calculation, electrical conductivity (EC) (Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), organic matter (OM), and heavy metals as (Mn, Ni, Cr, Zn, Cu, Co, Pb, Cd, As and Fe). Indirect geochemical background (IGB) of heavy metal was calculated by the iterative 2 standard deviations (SD) method.
The results of enrichment factor for heavy metals of the soil and sediment show that the all heavy metals in the studied samples were within Ef<2 indicate to depletion to minimal enrichment (i.e. no or minimal pollution). While Cd in the sample (5), Co in the sample (7), Cr in the sample (8) and Mn in the sample (1S) are within 2 â‰¤ EF < 5 indicate to Moderate enrichment. Contamination factor (Cf) for heavy metals of soil and sediment show that the all heavy metals in the studied samples were within Cf < 1 -Low contamination. While Sample "2" (Cd, Fe), sample "3" (Ni, Cr, Pb, and Cd), sample "4" (Mn, Fe) and sample "8" (Cr) are within 1 â‰¤ Cf < 3 moderate contamination.
Pollution load index result of all the soil and sediment samples are less than one indicate that "no pollution" are present, except sample 3 where the PLI value higher than 1 indicates the samples have been "polluted ". The modified degree of contamination (mCd) data indicate nil to a low degree of contamination for all of the soil and sediments samples.

Published: July 2021

Technological development in recent years leads to increase the access speed in the networks that allow a huge number of users watching videos online. Video streaming is one of the most popular applications in networking systems. Quality of Experience (QoE) measurement for transmitted video streaming may deal with data transmission problems such as packet loss and delay. This may affect video quality and leads to time consuming. We have developed an objective video quality measurement algorithm that uses different features, which affect video quality. The proposed algorithm has been estimated the subjective video quality with suitable accuracy. In this work, a video QoE estimation metric for video streaming services is presented where the proposed metric does not require information on the original video. This work predicts QoE of videos by extracting features. Two types of features have been used, pixel-based features and network-based features. These features have been used to train an Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) to estimate the video QoE.

Published: July 2021

Video represented by a large number of frames synchronized with audio making video saving requires more storage, it's delivery slower, and computation cost expensive. Video summarization provides entire video information in minimum amount of time. This paper proposes static and dynamic video summarizationmethods. The proposed static video summarization method includes several steps which are extracting frames from video, keyframes selection, feature extraction and description, and matching feature descriptor with bag of visual words, and finally save frames when features matched. The proposed dynamic video summarizationmethod includes in general extracting audio from video, calculating audio features using the average of samples in windows and find the highest average which reflects portion of video with loudest sound. The experimental results for the proposed static video summarization show that there is no redundancy between selected representative keyframes and the subjective evaluation results ensure the importance of the selected keyframes. While the experimental results for the proposed static video summarization show that all the segments of goals have been extracted to provide video summary. Static and dynamic video summarization methods done to football or soccer video type.

Published: July 2021

Hundreds of commensal bacteria are existed in the mouth and nose, and the interactions between these microbiotas and the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in different parts of the upper respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and immune cells maty assist to maintain the homeostasis of the immune system. Thus, it is importantto study the relationship between type one hypersensitivity and normal flora in the mouth and nose. Blood and saliva or sputum samples of seventy-one allergic patients were collected randomly in Baghdad/ Al- Zahraa center for asthma and allergies. Those patients were suffering from different types of hypersensitivity type1 such as skin and respiratory tract allergy (e.g, asthma and Rhinitis). The results revealed that the allergic females percentage were more than males. Staphylococcus spp., Lactobacillus and Fungi spp. isolated from the mouth and nose were more prevalent than other microorganisms among different age groups. In addition, most age groups were given significant variation in TLR2 level, while TLR4 recorded variation in female more than male patients.

The aim of this study is to extract and utilise the bark of Berlinia grandiflora as a natural dye source for the colouration of cotton and polyamide 6 fabrics. The solvents used for this study were water, methanol, acetone, and methanol/potassium hydroxide. The best of all the solvents used was water. In the extraction process, the various solvents were extracted with Soxhlet extractor. The optimum colourant extraction was observed at 40 °C for 2 h. The extracted compound was isolated and characterized by UV spectrophotometry; proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Mordanting and subsequent dyeing of cotton and polyamide 6 fabrics with the extracted colourant were performed to investigate the dye’s efficiency. Two metal salts, namely copper sulphate and stannous chloride, were used as mordants. Furthermore, the washing, rubbing, and light fastness properties of dyed samples were tested. The results of the fastness tests showed that the natural dye gave light fastness value (3= fair) without the use of mordants, whereas the values were 5 on cotton and 4 on nylon 6 with the use of mordants. The results of fastness of rubbing and washing were excellent for both cotton and nylon. The outcome of the study presents a potentially useful natural colourant for the colouration of natural and synthetic fibers.

Published: July 2021

Diabetes is a chronic disease which has reached pandemic proportions in a lot of countries of the world. In spite of the remarkable development in therapeutics chemistry, the usage of customary drugs is still a common practice for the treatment of diabetes. The current study was designed to investigate the effects of pomegranate seed oil (PSO) on kidney functions in the experimentally-induced diabetes in male rabbits. Diabetes was experimentally introduced by the intraperitoneal injection of alloxan monohydrate (150mg/kg BW). After three days of alloxan injection, samples were taken for the determination of glucose concentration. Serum glucose concentration of 200mg/ml was considered as an indication of animal diabetes. The experimental part was begun after 7 days of alloxan injection.
Thirty two adult male rabbits were arbitrarily separated into four groups and treated daily for 45 days. Group 1 was kept with no treatment, group 2 included animals treated with 30mg/kg BW PSO, group 3 included diabetic animals that received alloxan with a dose of 150mg/kg BW, and, finally, group 4 included animals that received alloxan (150mg/kg BW) and treated with PSO (30mg/kg BW). Fasting blood samples were collected by heart puncture technique after 45days of experiments to assess glucose levels.

Authors: B. Prathap Naidu  , Pallaval Veera Bramhachari  
Published: July 2021

The life on earth is driven by energy, supplied by the tiny organelles of the cell called mitochondria and they are usually stated as the powerhouses of the cell. In population genetics, Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is used extensively to categorize individuals or populations. The mutation sites observed in human mtDNA by comparing with the reference sequence (rCRS) are termed into definite human mtDNA haplogroups. Previous studies showed that mtDNA specific haplogroups and polymorphisms were established to be linked with various human diseases, including cancer in numerous populations. Furthermore, it is also known that several mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms are implicated in enhanced production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which are known to be an increased risk cause for several cancers, including colorectal cancer in Indian patients. Hence in our study, we made high resolution examination on mtDNA hypervariable region to trace the association of specific mtDNA haplogroup with colorectal cancer in south Indian populations. We report that mtDNA Haplogroup M was observed in 60% of the colorectal cancer patients and around 55% in the studied control samples. Haplogroup M is the most frequent mtDNA cluster found among south Indian populations. We further sub-lineated macro haplogroup M and found sub haplogroups (M8, M7, M6, M5, M3 and M2) in varied frequencies. In particular, we found significant association of haplogroup M5 with colorectal cancer patients (p = 0.026). Haplogroup M5 was observed in 12% of colorectal cancer patients in south Indian patients and in 3.3% of the control populations. These results suggest that individuals with haplogroup M5 may have significant risk to develop colorectal cancer.

The study area is part of the city of Samawa in Al Muthanna Governorate in southern Iraq. The study area is located to the west of Samawa city bounded by the north latitudes 31⁰11'-31o42' and east longitudes 44o58'- 45⁰16'and its groundwater resources are developed for supply and irrigation purposes. In order to evaluate the quality of groundwater in the study area, twenty three groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for physical and chemical parameters. Hydrochemical analysis showed that the groundwater of the study area is excessively mineralized and very hard. The increase in flow length of groundwater in the study area caused a change in water quality from bicarbonate to sulfate and chloride. The abundance of the major ions is as follows: SO4> CL>HCO3>NO3and Na>Ca>Mg>K. The dominant type of groundwater is Na+- sulfate. The water of the studied wells is not suitable for human drinking. Depending on TDS and EC values, most samples of the water are moderate saline class for irrigation. Most wells are good to permissible (wells No.4,14,17) and doubtful (well No. 12) for irrigation depending on Na%, while unsuitable for irrigation depending on EC (except well No. 17 which is permissible). Excellent water class (S1)for agriculture was recorded depending on SAR, except for well N0.2 which had an a good class (S2).

In this paper, we analyze several aspects of a hyperbolic univalent function related to convexity properties, by assuming to be the univalent holomorphic function maps of the unit disk onto the hyperbolic convex region ( is an open connected subset of). This assumption leads to the coverage of some of the findings that are started by seeking a convex univalent function distortion property to provide an approximation of the inequality and confirm the form of the lower bound for . A further result was reached by combining the distortion and growth properties for increasing inequality . From the last result, we wanted to demonstrate the effect of the unit disk image on the condition of convexity estimation by proving the two inequalities of
