Published: July 2024

The advancement of the internet and rapid growth in social media platforms such as Facebook, X , Instagram and others which made it possible for information on review on goods, reaction on events, services from experts, and political beliefs to be easily and globally shared within no time. Due to this fast propagation of information may have both positive and negative impact on thinking and ability to take decision on a particular event or anything related. Due to the generation of such a huge number of date and while the volume of studies directed on slant investigation is quickly extending, these examinations for the most part address English language concerns. But the English the not the only language by which data is got propagated but other such as Urdu, Farsi, Hindi, Pasto, branch etc. The main goal of this research study is to critically assess the data related to Urdu and the Urdu sentiment analysis's progress and problems and present solutions. After critically reviewing the literature and related work following two research directions are identified in accordance with our study— the first one is text pre-processing and the other is sentiment classification. Here, we had the opportunity to describe the progress that has been made in this research field. The pre-processing steps include Tokenisation, stop words removal, word segmentation, text cleaning, transforming into numeric vectors and others then applying machine learning models i.e. regression and SVM. Result is compared out for each of the model use. After thorough investigation, the following results demonstrated that the LDA-TFID model achieved the highest accuracy at 0.923977 as compared to LDA-BOW and SVM-BOW and also outperforming both LDA-BOW and SVM-BOW in term of efficiency and accuracy. This indicates the effectiveness of TF-IDF in enhancing model performance for Urdu sentiment analysis.

Published: July 2024

Traumatic hemothorax and pneumothorax (HTX/PTX) are traditionally treated with large-bore chest tubes, which can lead to pain and complications. Recent studies suggest pigtail catheters can be utilized as a non-inferior alternative. The Departments of Surgery and Emergency Medicine at NewYork Presbyterian – Weill Cornell Medical Center developed an institutional guideline to standardize tube size for treating traumatic HTX/PTX, aiming to reduce the use of large-bore thoracotomy tubes without causing adverse patient outcomes. This project at NYP-WCM included patients over 18 years of age admitted with thoracic injuries resulting in HTX or PTX treated with a chest tube from January 2022 to November 2023. Patients were identified through ICD codes in the trauma registry and electronic medical record. The primary outcome was adherence to the newly developed guideline for placing thoracostomy tubes. Conversion from pigtail to larger-bore chest tube and other adverse events were secondary outcomes. We identified 18 pre-guideline and 27 post-guideline HTX/PTX patients meeting the criteria. Before the guideline implementation, 15 out of 18 patients (83%) received care consistent with the guideline (no large-bore chest). After implementation, 25 out of 27 patients (93%) received care consistent with the guideline. Based on chart review, none of the patients in the pigtail cohort experienced complications or required conversion to a larger chest tube. Although the impact was modest, implementation of the institutional guideline correlates with a reduction in “unnecessary” large-bore chest tubes for treating traumatic HTX/PTX and showed a trend toward pigtail adoption. Placement of pigtails was not linked to negative complications or treatment failure, indicating a non-inferior safety and effectiveness profile for addressing traumatic HTX/PTX.

Living in a phony world: character figuration in J. D. Salinger's The catcher in the rye
Authors: Hermes Ernani Silverio 
Published: July 2024

The Catcher in the Rye, a 1951 novel by J. D. Salinger, highlights the construction of the character as the leading role of the narrative. The fictional character has provoked closer looks on the part of the Literary Studies, mainly on Narrative Studies field, which analyses the fictional figure considering its ideological, social, and identity aspects. Therefore, in this article, I aim to discuss character figuration in the cited novel, focusing on the main character, Holden Caulfield, through the lens of his figuration dynamics. For the analysis, I consider the themes through which the constitutive material of the fictional figure is constituted, namely: his relation to time, childhood, innocence, and sexuality. The theoretical framework is shaped through authors such as Ian Watt, Mikhail Bakhtin, Michel Zéraffa, E. M. Forster, Carlos Reis, and Maria da Glória Bordini.

Published: July 2024

Background
The number of prediction models for diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) risk is increasing, but their methodological quality and clinical applicability are uncertain. We conducted a systematic review to assess their performance.

Methods
We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases up to 10 February 2024 and extracted relevant information from selected prediction models. The Prediction model Risk Of Bias ASsessment Tool (PROBAST) checklist was used to assess bias risk and applicability. All statistical analyses were conducted in Stata 14.0.

Results
Initially, 13,562 studies were retrieved, leading to the inclusion of five development and five validation models from eight studies. DFU incidence ranged from 6% to 16.8%, with age and hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) commonly used as predictive factors. All included studies had a high risk of bias, mainly due to disparities in population characteristics and methodology. In the meta-analysis, we observed area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.78 (95% CI [0.69–0.89]) for development models and 0.84 (95% CI [0.79–0.90]) for validation models.

Conclusion
DFU risk prediction models show good overall accuracy, but there is a risk of bias. Adherence to the PROBAST checklist is crucial for improving their clinical applicability.

Background: Neonatal tetanus (NNT) remains among the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality among neonates in Nigeria. Nigeria remains among the countries carrying the global NNT burden. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, reports have predicted that the pandemic will significantly impact on the health system globally, and low-resource countries where vaccination programs fared even worse are likely to see a surge in vaccine-preventable diseases during and after COVID-19 pandemic.
Aims: To determine the prevalence, yearly trend, risk factors, and outcome of NNT cases seen in the Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital (UDUTH), Sokoto, Nigeria over a ten year period: before and during COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This was a retrospective study. Data was retrieved from all the case notes of neonates admitted with a clinical diagnosis of NNT into the SCBU of the UDUTH, Sokoto from 1st January, 2013 to 31st December, 2022. The data obtained was analyzed using SPSS version 21.
Results: During the 10 years period of the study, NNT accounted for 0.4% of admissions. The majority 15(57.0%) of the mothers of the neonates with NNT were from rural areas, 15(56.0%) had no antenatal care (ANC), and only 10(37.0%) of the mothers received vaccination against tetanus. All the mothers were from lower socio-economic classes. Most 17(63.0%) of the neonates were delivered at home by traditional birth attendants. The umbilical cord was the portal of entry in 26(96.0%) of cases, while 1(4.0%) followed traditional uvulectomy. Cord care was done using hot water fermentation in more than half of the neonates 17(63.0%), while only 1(4.0%) of the mothers used chlorhexidine gel for cord care. The case- fatality rate was 6(22.0%). the yearly trend showed an increased incidence of NNT admissions in 2022.
Conclusion: The study showed that NNT is still a public health problem, with an increased scourge during the COVID-19 pandemic, which can be tackled through health education of mothers via mass media, improving the quality and access to ANC services, tetanus toxoid vaccination, hospital delivery and avoidance of traditional uvulectomy particularly in rural areas by the Sokoto state government. Antenatal and vaccination services should be given priority in response to future pandemics to sustain gains of the SDG 3.
Nonendocytic Delivery of Lipoplex Nanoparticles into Living Cells Using Nanochannel Electroporation

Published: August 2013

The delivery of biomolecules, including siRNAs (≈21 bp) and large plasmids (≈10 kbp), into living cells holds a great promise for therapeutic and research applications. Lipoplex nanoparticles are popular nanocarriers for gene delivery. In conventional transfection methods, the cellular uptake of lipoplex nanoparticels occurs through the endocytosis process. The entrapment of lipoplex nanoparticles into endocytic vesicle is a major barrier in achieving efficient gene silencing and expression. Here, a novel nanochannel electroporation (NEP) method is employed to facilitate the cellular uptake and release of siRNAs/DNAs from lipoplexes. First, it is demonstrated that in a NEP device, lipoplex nanoparticles can be injected directly into the cell cytoplasm within several seconds. Specifically, it is found that lipoplexes containing MCL‐1 siRNA delivered by NEP can more efficiently down‐regulate the expression of MCL‐1 mRNA in A549 cancer cells than conventional transfection. Quantum dot‐mediated Förster resonance energy transfer (QD‐FRET) reveals that lipoplexes delivered via NEP can directly release siRNA in the cytoplasm without going through the endocytosis route, which unravels the responsible mechanism for efficient gene delivery. Furthermore, the advantage of combining NEP with lipoplex nanoparticles by the successful delivery of large plasmids (pCAG2LMKOSimO, 13 kbp) into CHO cells is demonstrated.

ObjectiveFunctional magnetic resonance imaging is sensitive to the variation in language network patterns. Large populations are needed to rigorously assess atypical patterns, which, even in neurological populations, are a minority.MethodsWe studied 220 patients with focal epilepsy and 118 healthy volunteers who performed an auditory description decision task. We compared a data‐driven hierarchical clustering approach to the commonly used a priori laterality index (LI) threshold (LI < 0.20 as atypical) to classify language patterns within frontal and temporal regions of interest. We explored (n = 128) whether IQ varied with different language activation patterns.ResultsThe rate of atypical language among healthy volunteers (2.5%) and patients (24.5%) agreed with previous studies; however, we found 6 patterns of atypical language: a symmetrically bilateral, 2 unilaterally crossed, and 3 right dominant patterns. There was high agreement between classification methods, yet the cluster analysis revealed novel correlations with clinical features. Beyond the established association of left‐handedness, early seizure onset, and vascular pathology with atypical language, cluster analysis identified an association of handedness with frontal lateralization, early seizure onset with temporal lateralization, and left hemisphere focus with a unilateral right pattern. Intelligence quotient was not significantly different among patterns.InterpretationLanguage dominance is a continuum; however, our results demonstrate meaningful thresholds in classifying laterality. Atypical language patterns are less frequent but more variable than typical language patterns, posing challenges for accurate presurgical planning. Language dominance should be assessed on a regional rather than hemispheric basis, and clinical characteristics should inform evaluation of atypical language dominance. Reorganization of language is not uniformly detrimental to language functioning. ANN NEUROL 2014;75:33–42
Zinc(II)‐triflate as catalyst precursor for ring‐closing depolymerization of end‐of‐life polytetrahydrofuran to produce tetrahydrofuran
Authors: Enthaler Stephan 
Published: August 2013

ABSTRACTThe recycling of polymers continues to be an important subject for a greener and sustainable society. Especially, the deconstruction of end‐of‐life polymers to monomers creates a feedstock for new high‐quality polymeric materials and contributes to conserve resources and allow an efficient waste‐managing system. In this study, zinc(II)‐triflate as catalyst precursor has been examined in detail In the ring‐closing depolymerization of end‐of‐life polytetrahydrofuran (PolyTHF) to generate tetrahydrofuran (THF). Noteworthy, the produced THF can be a suitable starting material for new polymeric materials. With the cheap and abundant Zn(OTf)2 (1.0 mol %) as precatalyst excellent yields (up to 95%) were feasible for the depolymerization of PolyTHF at 180°C within 30 min. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: August 2013

ABSTRACTStarch nanocrystals (SNC) are nanofillers of growing interest for barrier and mechanical improvement of bio‐based polymers. However, their potential use as fillers for organic coating material of industrial packaging has never been investigated. In this study, SNC processability in coating is assessed and the final properties of coated papers are measured. Coating colors composed of plasticized starch show higher Brookfield viscosity when filled with SNC even with the addition of water but rod‐coating is still possible. These diluted water‐based coatings induce paper wetting and surface crackling issues during drying as proved by drying process analysis. However no gelatinization of the SNC is observed whichever the type of drying. SNC compensate some of the water induced loss of mechanical properties of the base paper and decrease the water vapor permeability (WVP) up to 40% compared with the base paper. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Almost Passivity and Simple Adaptive Control in Discrete‐Time Systems
Authors: Barkana Itzhak , Rusnak Ilan , Weiss Haim 
Published: August 2013

AbstractSuccessful implementations of simple direct adaptive control techniques in various domains of application have been presented over the last two decades in the technical literature. The theoretical background concerning basic conditions needed for stability of the controller and the open questions relating the convergence of the adaptive gains have been clarified recently, yet only for the continuous‐time algorithms. Apparently, asymptotic tracking in discrete time systems has been possible only with step input commands and the scope of the so called “almost strictly positive real (ASPR)” condition has also remained not clear. This paper expands the feasibility of discrete simple adaptive control methodology to include any desired input commands and almost all real‐world systems. The proofs of stability are also rigorously revised to solve the ultimate adaptive gain values question that has remained open until now. Finally, a complex algebraic loop that seemed to be inherent in discrete ASPR systems and might prevent the use of passivity properties in discrete systems has also been eliminated.
A fine‐grained thread‐aware management policy for shared caches
Authors: Rolán Dyer , Andrade Diego , Fraguela Basilio B. , Doallo Ramón 
Published: August 2013

SUMMARYTwo of the main sources of inefficiency in current caches are the non‐uniform distribution of the memory accesses across the cache sets, which causes misses due to the mapping restrictions of non fully associative caches and the access patterns with little locality that degrade the performance of caches under the traditional least recently used. replacement policy. This paper proposes a technique to tackle in a coordinated way both kinds of problems in the context of chip multiprocessors, whose last level caches can be shared by threads with different patterns of locality. Our proposal, called thread‐aware mapping and replacement miss reduction (TAMR2) policy, tracks the behavior of each thread in each set in order to decide the appropriate combination of policies to deal with these problems. Despite its small overhead, TAMR2 achieved in our experiments average power consumption and memory latency reductions of 10% and 12%, respectively, resulting in an average throughput improvement of 5.6%, relative to a traditional cache design using four cores. TAMR2 also outperformed many recent related approaches in the field. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Space vector pulse‐width modulation for single‐phase full‐bridge Z‐source inverter
Authors: Yu Kun , Zhao Jiyun , Tseng K. J. , Luo Fang Lin , Zhu Miao 
Published: August 2013

SummaryThe space vector pulse‐width‐modulation technique is extensively applied in the three‐phase power electronics circuits because of its easy digital implementation and wide linear modulation range features. However, the attempt of this technique for the single‐phase Z‐source inverter has seldom been reported because of its unique topology and operational characteristics. In this paper, based on an in‐depth mathematical derivation and theoretical explanation, the space vector pulse‐width‐modulation principles have been discussed in detail. Various implementation schemes are demonstrated, and a comparison study for selected switching patterns is conducted. In addition, the theoretical analysis is validated by both the simulation and experimental results. This work will be helpful for understanding the space vector pulse‐width‐modulation concept and modulation techniques of the single‐phase full‐bridge Z‐source inverters.
