A comparative study of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in bipolar mania and schizophrenia
Authors: Goyal Manish Kumar , Yadav Kuldeep Singh , Solanki Ram Kumar 
Published: March 2024

Objectives
The role of immunological disturbance in bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia has been highlighted by some studies. There are few studies available that compared the inflammatory markers between schizophrenia and BD, but only one study demonstrated the difference in terms of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and Platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) between them. So this study was conducted to compare the NLR and PLR values among schizophrenia, bipolar mania, and healthy controls in order to find out a potential biomarker for these disorders.

Material and Methods
Eighty consecutive patients suffering from bipolar mania, 80 suffering from schizophrenia, and 80 healthy controls were recruited in the psychiatric center situated at a tertiary care hospital. Blood samples of all groups were transferred to the laboratory for complete blood count analysis. Thereafter, all the groups were compared by applying proper statistics.

Results
Significant higher level of neutrophil count and NLR value was seen in both bipolar mania and schizophrenia groups compared to healthy controls. There was no difference observed between schizophrenia and the bipolar mania group regarding NLR, PLR, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and platelets values.

Conclusion
NLR has appeared as a potential marker in our study, and it reflects a state of low-grade inflammation in both schizophrenia and bipolar mania. BD and schizophrenia have been considered as part of one continuum, which is also supported by the findings of our study. These markers can help in the prognosis and treatment of at least a subsection of patients and also are inexpensive and easy to assess.

Published: March 2024

Road accidents pose severe and pervasive consequences, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where both the population and fatal accidents among youth and the elderly are steadily increasing. Therefore, this study aims to develop a model for risky behavior in near-miss incidents among motorcycle riders in Thailand. It intends to compare models between younger and older riders utilizing structural equation modeling (SEM) with a multi-group approach. The data were examined employing modified instruments derived from the Motorcycle Rider Behavior Questionnaire (MRBQ). Samples depicting risky riding behavior were obtained from both younger and older rider groups. Parameter invariance testing revealed differences between the two groups. Control errors notably emerged as the predominant factor contributing to near-miss incidents for both age groups. Speeding was identified as the primary concern for the younger group, while adverse weather conditions were deemed crucial for the older group. Based on this study, policy recommendations endorse the creation of targeted training programs for novice riders, emphasizing adherence to legal speed limits and the adoption of safe riding practices. Additionally, the study underscores the importance of preparing riders, especially those in the older age group, for adverse weather conditions. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-02-019 Full Text: PDF
Effect of Breach Parameters and Progression Curves on Dam Failure Hydrograph
Authors: Praštalo Petar , Uljarević Mato , Vukomanović Radovan 
Published: March 2024

Understanding the failure mechanisms of embankment dams due to overtopping is vital for flood protection, covering planning, design, and flood defence zone management. Typically, dam failure-induced flood wave propagation is modeled in 1D using Saint-Venant's equations. The breach itself is often simplified as a trapezoid defined by its final height, average width, side slopes, and the time required for complete formation. Often overlooked is the dynamic process of breach formation and its correlation with the outflow hydrograph during dam failure. This research scrutinizes the impact of breach parameters and progression curves on the outflow hydrograph. Two approaches were formulated: one crafting new equations for average breach width and formation time using global dam failure data and regression analysis, and the other employing these equations in 2D HEC-RAS dam failure modeling, comparing them with literature recommendations. The derived equations yield results similar to those in the literature. This study introduces a novel aspect by examining the mutual influence of results and floodplain areas on the outflow hydrograph, offering a comprehensive perspective on dam failure dynamics and its hydraulic consequences.

This paper examines the current challenges in the energy sector of the Western Balkan countries, focusing on the energy sector of Kosovo as a case study during the pandemic. These countries are at crucial stages of their development, marked by significant achievements but with ongoing challenges in the energy sector as a factor for sustainable development. The region remains highly vulnerable to energy crises and geopolitical tensions, particularly due to its heavy dependence on fossil fuels such as brown coal for energy production. Our research focuses on the energy system in Kosovo, highlighting its historical reliance on a fragile energy sector, particularly characterized by inflexible thermal power plants using outdated technology and a lack of additional, more flexible capacity. The purpose of this study is to examine Kosovo's energy system, assess the challenges it encounters, and identify the factors that have contributed to the energy crisis from 2021 to 2023.

Optimum Temperature in the Electrostatic Desalting of Maya Crude Oil
Authors: Fetter Pruneda Erik , Rivero Borrell Escobedo Enrique , Garfias Vásquez Francisco Javier 
Published: March 2024

Abstract. The main variables that impact the crude oil desalting process were analyzed by developing mathematical models that represent the variation of Maya crude oil density, conductivity and viscosity as functions of temperature. An increase in process temperature has two opposite effects. First, a decrease in oil density and viscosity implies a significant increase in the settling rate of water droplets within the oil phase; which allow for a greater amount of oil to be processed. This increases the profit resulting from performing oil desalting. On the other hand, crude oil conductivity increases exponentially with temperature, which implies a higher rate of power consumption. A simulation model was developed to determine the optimum temperature at which a maximum economic benefit occurs. It was concluded that an optimum temperature occurs at 135oC.Resumen. Se estudiaron las principales variables que impactan elproceso de desalado de crudo mediante el desarrollo de correlacionesmatemáticas que representan la variación de densidad, conductividad y viscosidad del crudo Maya como funciones de la temperatura. Ladiscusión teórica mostró que un incremento en la temperatura de proceso da lugar a dos efectos contrarios. En primera instancia, una disminución en la densidad y viscosidad implica un aumento en la velocidad de sedimentación de las gotas de agua contenidas en la faseorgánica. Lo anterior permite que mayor cantidad de crudo sea procesada en un mismo periodo. Por lo tanto, se incrementan los beneficios económicos derivados de realizar esta operación. Por otro lado, la conductividad del crudo aumenta de manera exponencial con la temperatura, lo cual implica mayor consumo de energía eléctrica. Sedesarrolló un modelo de simulación para determinar la temperaturaóptima, en la cual se obtiene el máximo beneficio. Se concluyó que latemperatura óptima de desalado es 135ºC.

Authors: Gupta Ashish Kumar 
Published: March 2024

Today, it has been 76 years since our country got independence and also our democratic governance system has been in existence for 74 years if we exclude about 2 years of emergency. In these 74 years, many challenges can be seen in this system like human India's rank in the development index has been 131st in 2021, the situation in poverty and unemployment is also not good. According to the CMIE report, there are 5.3 crore unemployed people in India in 2021 and in the United Nations report on poverty, 25 percent of the population is classified as poor. Shown in the field of health. The situation is very bad in India, the provision of health services is inadequate in proportion to the population (its effect was felt in the second wave of Corona). At the same time, India ranks 85th among 180 countries in corruption, which is shameful for a big democratic nation. The thing is. Due to democratic challenges like these, democracy in India is failing to achieve its highest peak of success. There is a need to make some corrective efforts to take democracy to the highest peak of success.

Published: March 2024

Purpose: To examine whether Indigenous identity and food insecurity combined were associated with self-reported poor health. Methods: Data from the 2015–2016 Canadian Community Health Survey and multiple logistic regression were employed to evaluate the association between Indigenous identity, household food insecurity, and health outcomes, adjusted for individual and household covariates. The Alexander Research Committee in Alexander First Nation (Treaty 6) reviewed the manuscript and commented on the interpretation of study findings. Results: Data were from 59082 adults (3756 Indigenous). The prevalence of household food insecurity was 26.3% for Indigenous adults and 9.8% for non-Indigenous adults (weighted to the Canadian population). Food-secure Indigenous adults, food-insecure non-Indigenous adults, and food-insecure Indigenous adults had significantly (p < 0.001) greater odds of poor health outcomes than food-secure non-Indigenous adults (referent group). Food-insecure Indigenous adults had 1.96 [95% CI:1.53,2.52], 3.73 [95% CI: 2.95,4.72], 3.00 [95% CI:2.37,3.79], and 3.94 [95% CI:3.02,5.14] greater odds of a chronic health condition, a chronic mental health disorder, poor general health, and poor mental health, respectively, compared to food-secure non-Indigenous adults. Conclusions: Health policy decisions and programs should focus on food security initiatives for all Canadians, including addressing the unique challenges of Indigenous communities, irrespective of their food security status.
