The object of the research is the application of deep learning algorithms using an improved mathematical lossless image compression method for recognizing and identifying dead trees in aerospace images.
The main problem that has been solved is the archiving of images due to their large volume on disk and the possibility of their further processing by deep learning methods such as convolutional and capsule neural networks, which have shown high efficiency and accuracy in image recognition and classification tasks using the proposed new image compression method.
The article presents a comparative analysis of the performance of three YOLO (You Only Look Once) models with different types of architectures, such as YOLOv5, YOLOv7 and YOLOv8, to assess the effectiveness of their work for the task of recognizing aerospace tree images obtained from satellites, drones, and aircrafts.
Comprehensive analysis of YOLO models presents that model YOLO v8 turned out to be most effective with a positive accuracy of 88.2 %, a recall of 77.4 %, and a mAP50 score of 87.2 %. Moreover, the average detection time was only 0.052 seconds for each image, even though the model size remains very small – 21.5 MB. These results suggest a much better usage of time and precise identification of dead trees, and classified targets with high efficiency.
From the research, there is significant prospects of global forest management especially on forest reduction and protection of ecosystems through accurate assessment on the health of forestry. The proposed approach is universal and can be used in real life conditions, providing a good compromise of the speed, accuracy and resources required for forest monitoring and management

A székelyföldi születésű Váradi Mátyás marosvásárhelyi, majd kolozvsári tanulmányai után, 1665-től három évet töltött németalföldi egyetemeken, Leidenben, Utrechtben és Franekerben. Itteni stúdiumai idején készítette el és rendezte sajtó alá az Égő szövétnek című munkáját, melyben iskolai disputációkra emlékeztető formában érvelt a református hitágazatok régisége és igazsága mellett, míg a katolikus tanítást az ókeresztény kor eretnekségeiből vezette le. A mű lapszélein összesen 306 hivatkozás olvasható. Ezek elemzésével betekintést nyerhetünk egyrészt Váradi sajátos gondolkodásmódjába és munkamódszerébe, másrészt képet kaphatunk arról, hogy milyen alapművekre támaszkodott, és ezek közül melyekről tehető fel, hogy németalföldi tanulmányai idején jutott hozzá. A tejes bizonyossággal feloldható hivatkozások alapján egy 108 tételes irodalomjegyzék rekonstruálható. Ez persze csak közvetetten utal Váradi olvasmányműveltségére, hiszen nem annyira a szerző tényleges olvasottsága határozta meg, hanem a mű sajátos jellege és érvmenete. Evvel magyarázható, hogy kimaradtak az antik szerzők, és erősen háttérbe szorultak a humanizmus és a protestantizmus klasszikusai. Az Égő szövétnek hivatkozásai követik az erdélyi művelődés trendjeit. Váradi azokat a műveket idézte legtöbbször, amelyek Erdélyben is elérhetőek voltak, még ha nem is feltétlenül számítottak közkézen forgó műveknek. A hivatkozások között azonban szerepel három tucat olyan mű is, amelyek – a fennmaradt könyvjegyzékek tanúsága szerint – hazai közegben nem voltak fellelhetőek, vagy kimondott ritkaságnak számítottak. A németalföldi peregrináció során tehát Váradi jelentősen gyarapította olvasottságát a szisztematikus és a kontroverz teológia, és valamelyest az egyházjog és az egyháztörténet területén. Ez az összkép természetesen tovább pontosítható, árnyalható más forrástípusok bevonásával, egykorú szerzők hivatkozásainak elemzésével.

Abstract
This study presents a passive-source ocean-bottom seismograph (OBS) experiment conducted in the southwest subbasin of the South China Sea (SCS) aimed at exploring the geodynamic processes shaping this short-lived oceanic basin. The successful deployment and recovery of 24 passive-source OBS units, including 14 I-7C types and 10 Pankun OBS units, resulted in the acquisition of one of the most extensive passive-source seismic data sets ever recorded in the SCS. We provide comprehensive details of the experiment, with a focus on evaluating the data quality and performance of the Pankun OBS units. This evaluation includes assessments of horizontal orientation determination, leveling system effectiveness, timing accuracy, and ambient noise spectrum. In addition, we compared the waveforms recorded by the Pankun OBS units with those from land stations and I-7C units, as well as the noise spectra between Pankun and global OBSs using the same seismometer. Although these comparisons suggest that the Pankun OBS achieves satisfactory performance, we identified a few inadequacies with this new instrument, such as issues with the differential pressure gauge, clock shifts, and sensor package calibration.

Skin diseases contribute to significant morbidity to the patients which have geographical variation. There are many hospital-based studies describing the distribution of dermatoses but social and preventive health camps conducted in rural areas often give the real portrait of the dermatological burden in entire population. To provide a detailed overview of the prevalence of skin diseases in a rural area. This is cross sectional study conducted in people attending preventive health camps in Pudukottai district over a period of 3months. Patients with various dermatological complaints are diagnosed clinically and details recorded using a proforma tailored for recording dermatology conditions. Statistical analysis was made according to patient profile, final diagnosis and appropriate treatment suggested. Awareness about the preventive measures were educated.In our study, among the 5870 patients attending the dermatology campy, 1468 had dermatological complaints. Males outnumbered females and the most common age group is 40-60years. Non-infectious dermatoses were predominant, some of them include eczema, appendageal and pigmentary disorders. Infectious dermatoses are the second common, among them the fungal infections top the list followed by bacterial and arthropod infections. Planning of the health programmes should be tailored to the individual needs of a community. This study provides valuable insights into the epidemiology of dermatological conditions in the studied rural population.

: Melasma is a recalcitrant hyperpigmentary condition. The pathogenesis of melasma is complex and not fully understood. Although many treatment modalities have been tried for melasma but no modality is considered as gold standard.: This study aimed to compare efficacy of intralesional platelet rich plasma with tranexamic acid (50mg/ml) in the treatment of facial melasma.: Total 64 patients were enrolled in the current study from July 2023 to March 2024. In group A, 31 patients were treated with intralesional PRP and in group B, 33 patients were treated with intralesional TXA (50mg/ml). Intralesional injections were given every 4 weekly till lesions resolve or a maximum of 6 sessions followed by monthly follow up for 3 months. Grade of clinical improvement was measured by percentage reduction in mMASI score at baseline, at every session and at follow up. Patient satisfaction score was assessed using a five-point Likert scale at the end of the study.: In the PRP group, 64.52% patients showed moderate to good response whereas in the TXA group, 72.72% patients showed good to very good response. Only 41.94% patients were satisfied in group A while 81.81% patients were satisfied with their recovery after treatment in group B.: TXA was effective in all types of melasma. PRP was significantly effective only in female patients whereas TXA was significantly effecacious in both male and female patients. We suggest monthly therapy with intralesional TXA at a higher dosage of 50 mg/ml as an efficient and time-saving treatment modality over intralesional PRP.

The occurrence of topical steroid dependent face (TSDF) in India has become widespread because of the abuse of creams containing steroids. Of late, many studies have been undertaken about topical steroid dependent face. Only few studies have demonstrated the dermoscopic features of this condition. Hence, we undertake a research to study the characteristic features of topical steroid dependent face by dermoscopy.A total of 398 patients who have applied topical steroid creams for more than one month and with symptoms indicative of topical steroid dependent face like redness, itching, burning, increased hair growth, acne were included in the study. The demographic, clinical and dermoscopic features were noted in such patients. These dermoscopic features were correlated with the clinical features and potency of steroid creams using Chi- square test. Statistical analysis was done using standard statistical software, ‘p’ value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.398 cases were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 30.22 ± 5.7 years. The duration of topical corticosteroid application was 1-3 months in 30.15% patients, 3-6 months in 32.66% patients. Melasma and other hyperpigmentary causes was the most common cause of steroid usage in 32.16% patients. The most prevalent steroid used was 0.1% Betamethasone valerate. The most common presenting complaints were with itching (70.35%) and redness (69.84%). The dermoscopic features included mainly diffuse red areas (93.96%), terminal hair (75.87%), telangiectasias (74.87%) and brown globules (73.86%). Terminal hair, telangiectasias, focal white areas, white hair were seen on dermoscopy in statistically higher proportion of cases.Atrophy of skin, telangiectasias, red skin, hypertrichosis, easy bruisability and acneiform eruptions are the common clinical features of TSDF in our cohort. Dermoscopic findings along with these clinical features aid in meticulous diagnosis, differentiating it from other dermatological disorders. Hence, dermoscopic evaluation of TSDF provides an easy, diagnostic and time saving procedure that aids in quick detection and helps in management of such cases.

Repeated friction between the wrist and the mouse pad leads to the development of a lesion on the wrist of the operator known as the ‘Gamer’s mark’. In the context of the rapid development of digital technology and increased dependence of dental students and professionals on the same, the present study aimed to analyze the prevalence of Gamer’s mark among dental students in the city of Mumbai. The present cross-sectional study was on 1412 dental students in four different institutions in Mumbai using a five-point questionnaire comprising questions relevant to the characteristics of gaming history and the presence of the lesion on the wrist. The responses were recorded in an Excel sheet and subjected to data analysis. The prevalence of the lesion across the full cohort was found to be 0.5%. Of the 103 participants reporting a history of gaming, 66.99% (n=69) had the lesion on either of their hands which comprised 50 males and 19 females. There was a statistically significant difference noted (p&#60;0.05) wherein a higher number of males (p=0.02) as well as females (p=0.04) had the lesion as compared to those that did not (p&#60;0.05) The correlation between the duration of the Gamer’s Mark lesion and the intensity of gaming underscores the need for awareness and preventive strategies in the dental community. As dentistry continues to embrace digitalization, it is imperative to address the potential health implications associated with prolonged computer usage.

Among the chromosomal aneuploidies Down syndrome is the most common type. This study was conducted to detect the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities in the paediatric patients in one year duration at a tertiary care centre. In cytogenetic lab, clinically suspected cases were referred from different department like pediatrics, neonataology, obstetrics and gynecology for Karyotyping test for the confirmation of aneuploidies. They were sampled for Karyotyping. Incidence of aneuploidies among live-births in a year (April 2023-March2024) was 4.68/1000. Down syndrome with trisomy+21 was found in all individual (100%) of 12 cases. Among cardiac disorder, ASD, VSD and VSD+ ASD were (complex cardiac defect) account for 33.33%. Other common clinical features were also seen like slanting eyes, sandal gap, mangloid facials, single simian crease, low set ears, depressed nasal bridge, and protruding tongue In this study prevalence of DS in Chhattisgarh were 4.68/1000. Most of the cases of the study were born from mother of younger age (19-27yrs). For early diagnosis clinician should counsel the younger pregnant women for such aneuploidies so that they can take appropriate measures.
The role of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ratio in determining the severity of pre-eclampsia in antenatal women: A case control study
Authors: Nagesh Madhurya , Aashritha Thonangi , Raju Kalyani 
Published: November 2024

Pre-eclampsia (PE) remains a significant global health concern, affecting 2-8% of pregnancies and contributing to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Characterized by hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation, PE often involves systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. Its exact etiology is multifactorial, involving immune dysregulation and vascular abnormalities. Early identification of high-risk pregnant women is crucial to mitigate adverse outcomes. In India, PE affects 8-10% of pregnancies.Inflammatory markers such as the Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) have emerged as potential indicators of systemic inflammation. Elevated NLR and PLR levels in PE suggest a role in the disorder's pathophysiology, reflecting immune responses to placental ischemia and pro-inflammatory cytokine release.This study aims to compare NLR and PLR levels between PE patients and normotensive pregnant women, evaluate their association with PE severity, and discuss their potential as predictive biomarkers. A case-control study was conducted with 84 participants, following eligibility criteria via convenient sampling. Demographic characteristics, obstetric history, and CBC-derived biomarkers were assessed.Among 84 pregnant women, 42 had preeclampsia (PE) and 42 were normotensive. The PE group had significantly higher Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratios (5.11 ± 2.88 vs. 2.74 ± 0.78) and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratios (108 ± 46.7 vs. 85.4 ± 29.4) compared to controls. PE incidence peaked between 34-38 weeks. Higher PLR and NLR values were linked to severe PE. ANC booking was lower in the PE group. Obesity trends were not statistically significant.Significant associations were found between elevated NLR and PLR and PE severity, highlighting their potential clinical utility.Our findings indicate NLR and PLR as valuable biomarkers for predicting and managing PE. Integration of these markers into routine prenatal care could enhance clinical management and improve maternal and fetal outcomes.

Authors: Nainan Oommen 
Published: November 2024

: Scientific literature is limited about the different mother-baby sleeping patterns in India and its possible association with the development of malocclusion. The prevalent mother-baby sleeping patterns were assessed in a cosmopolitan city of India with an aim to study if any type of sleeping pattern predisposes to the development of malocclusion.: 2150 children aged 2-6 years were included in this study. A questionnaire to determine type of sleeping pattern, duration of breastfeeding and presence of sucking habits was completed by the parents. The children then underwent a dental examination to evaluate presence of malocclusion which was recorded utilising the Baby‑Risk of Malocclusion Assessment (ROMA) Index.: Three different types of sleeping patterns were observed. The risk of developing malocclusion was found to be low when the baby and the mother shared the same bed for atleast 18 months from birth of the infant. When the duration of child and mother sharing the same bed reduced below 18 months, the child was found to have an increased incidence of non -nutritive sucking habits, had higher Baby ROMA scores and showed presence of at least one type of malocclusion. : Children co-sleeping with their mothers in the same bed for more than 18 months are observed to have fewer negative sucking habits, and a decreased incidence of malocclusion when compared to children who slept alone in a different room.

Abstract
Sharks are top-tier water predators that can maintain marine ecology balance and control the food web. As sharks are at the top of the food chain, their overfishing can disrupt the ecosystem chain. The distribution and abundance of fish in waters can be influenced by several factors of oceanographic parameters, including chlorophyll-a and sea surface temperature (SST). The use of satellite imagery for analyzing chlorophyll-a and SST parameters provides significant results in fisheries oceanographic studies. This study aimed to determine the effect of chlorophyll-a and SST parameters on shark catches. The method in this study was divided into 2 stages, namely taking shark fishing area coordinate data and downloading chlorophyll-a as well as SST satellite image data on the NASA Aqua-MODIS website. The results of the of the analysis of chlorophyll-a distribution in the eastern season ranged from 0.08 to 1.23 mg/m3 with an average value of 0.17 mg/m3, where the highest was 1.23 mg/m3 in September and the lowest was 0.08 mg/m3 in August. The SST distribution ranged from 27.65 to 30.29oC with an average of 28.65oC, the highest was 30.29oC in August and the lowest was 27.65oC in September. Based on the results of linear regression analysis, the highest shark catch was influenced by chlorophyll-a, namely Loxodon macrorhinus shark, by 72.82%, the highest shark catch type was influenced by SPL, namely Alopias pelagicus shark, by 83.12%, and the rest was influenced by other parameters.

Tilapia fillet aimed to prolonging shelf life, may still experience quality deterioration posing food safety risks. Colorimetric pH indicators offer a simple and affordable solution to the food industry to evaluating fish spoilage. Natural dyes reduce potential health risks associated with synthetic dyes. Anthocyanin sources haven’t been explored like dragon fruit rind, mangosteen rind, and red onion skin serve as real time quality and safety assessment tools for consumers. This study explores the potential of anthocyanin extracted from dragon fruit rind, mangosteen rind, and red onion skin as colorimetric sensors for evaluating the quality and safety of tilapia fillets. The anthocyanin-based sensors developed using kappa carrageenan and corn starch polymers to achieve sustainability fisheries program and were characterized according to the Japanese Industrial Standard for bioplastics. The results show that anthocyanin from dragon fruit skin exhibited the best color change in response to pH changes in the tilapia fillet, indicating its potential as a reliable indicator of spoilage. This research highlights the feasibility of using natural dyes as colorimetric sensors, reducing the risk of health hazards associated with synthetic dyes. This study also shows that different polymers give different characteristic of bioplastic. Carrageenan bioplastic shows best thickness values of 0,118 mm; Carrageenan and corn starch bioplastics shows best tensile strength values of 20,62 MPa; Carrageenan bioplastic shows best elongation values of 254%; and All polymers shows the same biodegradation rate values of 14,29%. Further studies are needed to explore other natural dyes and optimize the polymers for optimal bioplastic characteristics.
