Prevalence and risk factors of allergic conjunctivitis in a semi urban set up
Authors: Charani Muduthanpally , Sailaja Manikala 
Published: March 2021

Inflammation of the conjunctiva, which is caused due to exposure to allergens is called allergic conjunctivitis. Simple allergic conjunctivitis is fairly common and the symptoms are usually underrated and, most of the patients do not go to the hospital for treatment. There is a wide variation in the occurrence of allergic conjunctivitis in different geographical parts of the world. 158 of the patients with allergic conjunctivitis were included in the study were found to have allergic conjunctivitis. Complete history including symptoms such as redness, itching, teary eyes etc. were taken in detail. 53.2% were in the primary school, while 37.3% were in the middle school, or between 6-10 class and 9.5% were in the 11 or 12 std. Exposure to dust was the main cause for allergic conjunctivitis as was seen in 32.3% of the cases. Smoke was the second most common cause with 22.8% affected, followed by Dye eyes in 13.9% of the cases. All the patients experienced itching in the eye, and were rubbing their eyes often. (98.7%). 86.1% had watery eyes with over Lacrimal secretion. Majority of the patients (81.6%) with allergic conjunctivitis had allergic rhinitis. 32.3% had asthma, and 13.3% had atopic dermatitis. Since Allergic conjunctivitis is a mild disease with little morbidity, the patients fail to understand the importance of a regular eye checkup. This can be corrected with the help of health education to the students and the patents in the community.
Social Uses of Logic in Medieval and Modern Contexts

Społeczne użycie logiki w kontekstach średniowiecznych i nowoczesnych
W średniowieczu, zwłaszcza od XIII wieku, logika stanowiła dyscyplinę propedeutyczną dla wszelkich form szkolnictwa wyższego, a także osnowę sztuki prowadzenia „sporu” (disputatio), która była zarówno metodą naukową, jak i obowiązkową formą zdobywania stopni uniwersyteckich, co miało społeczną organizację i było kontrolowane przez instytucje edukacyjne. Logika została również niedawno uznana za naukę i technikę doskonalenia ludzkiego intelektu. W ten sposób uzyskała bezprecedensowe znaczenie antropologiczne, prowadząc jednocześnie do zepchnięcia całych grup społecznych, uważanych za pozbawione logiki, do rangi podrzędnych form człowieczeństwa. Średniowieczna logika reprezentowała dominującą kulturę argumentacyjną o silnym znaczeniu normatywnym.
Dzisiaj pozostał tylko normatywny wymiar logiki, ale w dużej mierze oderwany od jej podstaw teoretycznych i wartości edukacyjnej. Naszą epokę charakteryzuje zanik formalnego nauczania logiki i koniec praktyki sporu. Pojęcie inteligencji przeszło poważne ewolucje, podczas gdy praktyki intelektualne i naukowe nie są już zgodne ze sztywnym i zrytualizowanym wzorcem logicznym. Samo pojęcie logiki również uległo radykalnej zmianie wraz z rozdzieleniem logiki formalnej i tak zwanej logiki nieformalnej oraz zniknięciem idei logiki jako jednolitej normy, która pojawiła się wraz z wyłonieniem się nieredukowalnego pluralizmu logicznego. Społeczne zastosowania logiki są zasadniczo dyskryminujące, co można zaobserwować pośrednio w testach inteligencji i bezpośrednio w testach logicznych, zgodnie z programem selekcji opartym w dużej mierze na identyfikacji „rodzimych” umiejętności logicznych kandydatów. Troska jednak o edukację logiczną, ale pod inną nazwą, pojawiła się ponownie w XX wieku wraz z ruchem krytycznego myślenia. Refleksje i praktyki, do których ów ruch doprowadził, oferują interesujące podobieństwa ze średniowiecznym usytuowaniem logiki.
Badanie średniowiecznego usytuowania logiki pozwala wskazać nieodwracalne zmiany, prześledzić długotrwałe dziedzictwo i pobudzające podobieństwa, ale także zastanowić się nad współczesnymi zastosowaniami logiki z innej perspektywy. Historia zastosowań i wartości nadanych logice w czasie i przestrzeni pomaga pluralizować i uhistoryczniać logikę, zwłaszcza gdy jest używana jako narzędzie do oceny na podstawie logiki „uniwersalnej i naturalnej” stopnia racjonalności jednostek i grup, których zachowanie intelektualne nie pasuje do normy.

Dancing as Environmental Aesthetics from Indigenous America
Authors: Chindoy Chindoy Juan Alejandro 
Published: March 2021

Taniec jako estetyka środowiskowa z rdzennej Ameryki
Współczesne badania estetyki środowiskowej podkreślają ciągłość między naturą a ludzkim działaniem. Większość z tych podejść sugeruje, że nacisk na ciągłość przyrody z ludzkością implikuje zmianę podejścia do środowiska naturalnego, co oznacza, że powinniśmy odejść od eksploatacji środowiska naturalnego i skupić się na jego ochronie i zachowaniu. W dwóch częściach tego artykułu argumentuje się, że idea ciągłości człowieka ze środowiskiem naturalnym była przez długi czas rodzimą wiarą filozoficzną rdzennej Ameryki, której najstarszą estetyczną manifestacją był taniec. Pierwsza część poświęcona jest idei ciągłości w rdzennej Ameryce, z położeniem nacisku na koncepcje Matki Natury i Ducha Człowieka. Druga część pokazuje, że rodzimy taniec uosabia estetycznie ideę ciągłości ludzkiego działania i środowiska naturalnego.
Is Art an Adaptation? The Timeless Controversy over the Existence of Aesthetic Universals (by the Lens of Evolutionary Informed Aesthetics)
Authors: Luty Jerzy 
Published: March 2021

Czy sztuka jest adaptacją? Ponadczasowe kontrowersje wokół istnienia estetycznych uniwersaliów (przez pryzmat ewolucyjnie poiformowanej estetyki)
Biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że w kategoriach analitycznych głównym przedmiotem badań w filozofii sztuki są twierdzenia o sztuce i że poddaje ona jedynie ponownemu badaniu przedmiot określany jako „sztuka”, ze swej strony stwierdzam, że interdyscyplinarny charakter ewolucyjnego podejścia do sztuki i estetyki wynika prawdopodobnie z naturalizacji perspektywy filozoficznej oraz z „etologicznego zwrotu” w estetyce. Umożliwia to ujawnienie genezy, źródeł i funkcji sztuki oraz zachowań artystycznych w okresie bezprecedensowych odkryć nauk ewolucyjnych związanych z kulturą i poznaniem człowieka. Postrzegam to jako obowiązek badacza, który stara się znaleźć odpowiedź na ponadczasowe kontrowersje dotyczące prawdziwej natury sztuki i uniwersalnych emocji, jakie wywołuje, a nie tylko zajmować się tym, co formułuje teoria.
Paraoxonase 1 activity as a new biochemical marker in the diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease
Authors: SAVAŞ Hasan Basri , ETLİ Mustafa 
Published: March 2021

Aim: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is an atherosclerotic disease. It is seen in older ages. It causes cardiovascular morbidity
and mortality. PAD may progress without any symptoms. Despite its high frequency, there is no laboratory parameter
that directly indicates peripheral arterial disease in routine biochemical tests. The relationship between oxidative stress
increase and PAD is known. In this study, it is aimed to show the possible usage of the activities of the antioxidant enzymes
paraoxonase 1 and arylesterase as a new marker in the diagnosis of PAD.
Material and Methods: A total of 70 individuals, including 35 in the control group and 35 peripheral artery patients, were
included in this study. The collected blood serums were separated and stored at -80 °C. Paraoxonase 1 and arylesterase
activities were measured using the spectrophotometric method in the serum which was dissolved at room temperature.
The results were subjected to statistical analysis. P
Dependencies between Variables from the Area of the Monetary and Fiscal Policy in the European Union Countries
Authors: Stawska Joanna 
Published: March 2021

Research background: The core of coordinating a monetary and fiscal policy (policy mix) is based on combining both policies to achieve goals related to price stability, as well as economic growth and employment. In turn, the decisions of economic authorities in the monetary-fiscal game have a significant impact on economic variables in the economy. In the economic literature, the importance of monetary and fiscal policy coordination is emphasized as it has a positive effect on the stability of the economy. Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to identify the dependencies between variables in the scope of fiscal policy and monetary policy under existing economic conditions and then assess their impact on the economy in the EU countries.
Methods: To achieve this objective, the following research methods were used: a review of the scientific literature, a presentation of statistical data, and statistical research methods.
Findings & Value added: The rationale for adopting such issues is to examine the impact of the financial crisis on the decisions of central banks and governments in the EU. The financial crisis has affected a change in the approach to conducting monetary and fiscal policy. The changing economic conditions forced economic authorities to take many decisions that affected the interaction between the central bank and the governments in the EU Member States. In many EU countries in the discussed period, there were significant interdependencies between variables in both monetary and fiscal policy.

Published: March 2021

<p>The operation of dust suppressor and dust collector was operating semi-manually by pressing the power button on the local panel during the initial unloading of coal material from the barge or stockpile, where local operators manage several large areas. This research is carried out on the implementation of Automatic Dust Detector for Dust Suppression operational at Paiton Unit 9 power plants with the aim of increasing the efficiency of operator and equipment performance. We use House of Quality (HOQ) as a determinant of the priority scale for technical response to be implemented, namely the addition of an Automatic Dust Detector. The results obtained showed a decrease in the calculation of the dust suppression operating time, i.e. from 5 hour 54 minutes to 5 hour 6 minutes, from 1005,36L/barge to 869,04L/barge for water consumption, and 1L/barge to 0,86L/barge for chemical use. Furthermore, the implementation of the Automatic Dust Detector can significantly increase efficiency at least 15% from operating time difference. </p>
Do School Accreditation, Education Budget, and Teacher’s Competence Matter for Graduate’s Quality?
Authors: Azhari Azhari , Kamaruddin Kamaruddin , Marzuki Marzuki , Dewi Ratna 
Published: March 2021

This study examinedthe effect of school accreditation, education budget, and teacher competence on the quality of high school graduates. The analysis method used was a panel regression through the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach, and the data were from 2017-2019. The results showed that school accreditation and education budgets had an effect on the quality of graduates. Also, the implication of this study is that schools need to increase accreditation, as well as the education budget. In terms of teacher competence, the teachers need to improve their competence by taking an active role in organizations, training teacher capacity, and mastery of information technology. Meanwhile, teacher competence has no effect on the quality of graduates in senior secondary schools. Simultaneously, all variables have a significant effect on the graduates quality. The limitation of this study is the data used, regardless of the status of private and public schools. Therefore, studies to compare private and public schools are of particular interest.

Published: March 2021

Background:
Whether to use unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for appropriate osteoarthritis cases is a subject of debate. UKA potentially offers faster recovery and fewer short-term complications. However, reported differences in preoperative comorbidity between TKA and UKA-treated patients could affect outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in the length of the postoperative hospital stay (LOS) as well as readmissions and complications within 90 days after surgery between matched UKA and TKA cohorts.

Methods:
Patients undergoing UKA or TKA in a fast-track setup at 9 orthopaedic centers from 2010 to 2017 were included in the study. Propensity score matching with exact matching for surgical year was used to address differences in demographics and comorbidity between the UKA and TKA groups, resulting in a matched cohort of 2,786 patients who underwent UKA and 7,708 who underwent TKA. Univariable linear or logistic regression models, multivariable mixed-effects models, and a chi-square test were used to investigate differences in LOS, readmissions, and complications between the UKA and TKA groups.

Results:
The UKA group had a shorter median LOS than the TKA group (1 compared with 2 days, p < 0.001). The UKA group was more likely to be discharged on the day of surgery (21.1% compared with 0.5%, odds ratio [OR] = 38.5, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 27.0 to 52.6) and less likely to have an LOS of >2 days (OR = 0.20, 95% CI = 0.17 to 0.24) compared with the TKA group. There was no difference in the 90-day readmission rate (p = 0.611) between the groups. The UKA group had fewer periprosthetic joint infections (OR = 0.50, 95% CI = 0.26 to 0.99) and reoperations (OR = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.20 to 0.81) compared with the TKA group. However, aseptic revisions were more frequent in the UKA group (OR = 2.5, 95% CI = 1.1 to 6.0).

Conclusions:
The UKA group had shorter hospital stays, a higher rate of discharge on the day of surgery, and fewer periprosthetic joint infections and reoperations compared with the matched TKA group. However, the TKA group had fewer aseptic revisions. Our findings support the use of UKA in a fast-track setup when indicated.

Experimental Evidence of Chaotic Resonance in Semiconductor Laser
Authors: Ibrahim Raghed ismial , Al Naimee Kais A. M. , Yaseen Sameer Kh. 
Published: March 2021

In this paper, an experimental study has been conducted regarding the indication of resonance in chaotic semiconductor laser. Resonant perturbations are effective for harnessing nonlinear oscillators for various applications such as inducing chaos and controlling chaos. Interesting results have been obtained regarding to the effect of the chaotic resonance by adding the frequency on the systems. The frequency changes nonlinear dynamical system through a critical value, there is a transition from a periodic attractor to a strange attractor. The amplitude has a very relevant impact on the system, resulting in an optimal resonance response for appropriate values related to correlation time. The chaotic system becomes regular under a moderate frequencies or amplitudes. These dynamics of the laser output are analyzed by time series, FFT and bifurcation diagram as a result.
Impact of Debris Flows on Filter Barriers: Analysis Based on Site Monitoring Data

Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT
Debris flows are one of the most complex and devastating natural phenomena, and they affect mountainous areas throughout the world. Structural measures are currently adopted to mitigate the related hazard in urbanized areas. However, their design requires an estimate of the impact force, which is an open issue. The numerous formulae proposed in the literature require the assignment of empirical coefficients and an evaluation of the kinematic characteristics of the incoming flow. Both are generally not known a priori. In this article, we present the Grand Valey torrent site (Italian Alps). A monitoring system made up of strain gauges was installed on a filter barrier at the site, allowing the evaluation of impact forces. The system provides pivotal information for calibrating impact formulae. Two debris flows occurred during the monitoring period. We present the interpretation of videos, impact measurements, and the results of numerical analyses. The combined analysis allows a back calculation of the events in terms of forces, flow depth, and velocity. Thus, we investigate the applicability of the impact formulae suggested in the literature and of the recommended empirical coefficients. The results highlight that hydrostatic effects dominated the impact during the first event, while hydrodynamic effects prevailed in the second one.

­­Highly Conducive Ex utero Mouse Embryogenesis&nbsp;from Pre-Gastrulation to Late Organogenesis
Authors: Aguilera-Castrejon Alejandro , Hanna Jacob H. 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
In mammals, morphogenesis and organogenesis take place after the embryo implants into the uterus, which makes it relatively inaccessible for observation and manipulation. While methods for in vitro culture of pre- and peri-implantation mouse embryos are routinely used, approaches for efficient and stable culture of post-implantation embryos from egg cylinder stages until advanced organogenesis remain to be established. We recently developed highly robust ex utero post-implantation mouse embryo culture platforms, that enable appropriate and faithful development of embryos before gastrulation (E5.5) until the hind limb formation stage (E11). In these protocols, late gastrulating embryos (E7.5) are grown in 3D rotating bottles settings, while extended culture from pre-gastrulation stages (E5.5 or E6.5) requires a combination of static and rotating bottle culture protocols. These systems support stable growth of normal mouse embryos ex utero from pre-gastrulation to advanced organogenesis.
cpn60 metagenomic amplicon library preparation for the Illumina Miseq platform
Authors: Fernando Champika , Hill Janet E. 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This protocol can be applied to determine the composition of a microbial community. The cpn60 gene (also known as groEL, hsp60) is present in almost all bacteria and a 552-558 bp region of the gene has been established as a barcode for species level identification of bacteria. The primer cocktail used in this protocol amplifies cpn60 barcode sequences from bacteria with a wide range of G+C content. Some species of Mycoplasma lack the cpn60 gene and therefore this method is not recommended to detect Mycoplasma. DNA sequences generated from this method could be compared to cpnDB, a public database of cpn60 sequences, for identification. Library preparation involves cpn60 amplicon generation, PCR clean-up, index PCR, index PCR clean-up, library quantification, normalization, pooling, library denaturation and loading. Time taken to complete depends on the number of samples included. If using 96 samples, the procedure takes 8 hours but there are several stages where the samples could be stored and continued the next day. Specific instructions are provided for the Illumina MiSeq platform, but the protocol could easily be adapted for other sequencing platforms.
