Aim. To study the prognostic significance of abdominal aorta (AA) diameter in progression of peripheral atherosclerosis in patients aged 40-64 years and without abdominal aortic dilation.Materials and Methods. The study included 157 outpatients aged 40-64 years who underwent Doppler ultrasonography of brachiocephalic arteries, lower extremity arteries, and abdominal aorta in order to assess cardiovascular risk. Upon the serum collection, we measured lipid fractions, creatinine, glycated hemoglobin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, pentraxin-3 and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, and MMP-10). The criteria for the progression of peripheral atherosclerosis were: 1) the appearance of a new atherosclerotic plaque; 2) stenosis increase by ≥ 10%; 3) carotid plaque area increase by ≥ 0.106 cm2.Results. We found that 116 (73.9%) patients initially had low to moderate cardiovascular risk. Abdominal aortic diameter directly correlated with the level of glycated hemoglobin (r = 0.298; p = 0.003) and serum MMP-2 (r = 0.240; p = 0.041), whilst aortic size index directly correlated with serum MMP-9 (r = 0.319; p = 0.029). Repeated Doppler ultrasonography was performed in 120 (76.4%) patients, with the median period between two examinations was 14.4 (12.3; 20.8) months, and progression of peripheral atherosclerosis was identified in 26 (21.6%) patients. An increase in abdominal aortic diameter > 1.64 cm could predict atherosclerosis progression with sensitivity of 53.8% and specificity of 74.1%. According to Cox regression analysis, an increase in abdominal aortic diameter > 1.64 cm was associated with a 2.31-fold increased risk of atherosclerosis progression (95% CI = 1.06 - 5.00, p = 0.034).Conclusion. Abdominal aortic diameter can be considered as a predictor of peripheral atherosclerosis progression.

Aim. To compare the clinicopathological features, the course of pregnancy and its outcomes with the results of histological examination of the uterine scar in women with a past medical history of a single caesarean section.Materials and Methods. We analysed the associations between histological features of scarred myometrium and clinicopathological parameters of 48 pregnant women aged 19 to 40 years with a past medical history of a single caesarean section. All women were divided into two groups depending on the uterine scar condition. Tissue sampling for histological examination was performed during lower segment caesarean section from the scar area after fetal extraction.Results. 26 women had non-defective uterine scar and 22 women had uterine scar dehiscence (an overstretched inferior uterine segment with little or no muscle fiber and disorganised connective tissue at histological examination). Clinicopathological parameters associated with a uterine scar dehiscence were are ≤ 2-year interval between deliveries (OR = 6.85, 95% CI = 1.27-36.90, p = 0.025) and obesity (OR = 3.5, 95% CI = 0.97-12.70, p = 0.056). Typical pregnancy complication in patients with uterine scar dehiscence was placental insufficiency (OR = 4.75, 95% CI = 1.39-16.2, p = 0.013).Conclusion. Identification of the risk factors for uterine scar dehiscence may assist in selecting a method of delivery for women with a past medical history of caesarean section.

Published: September 2023

In recent years, electric cars have become increasingly popular as an alternative to environmentally friendly vehicles in the automotive industry. These vehicles use electric power as an energy source that can reduce dependence on fossil fuels so as to contribute to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. However, the presence of electric cars raises pro and con opinions from the public. Where, the conversation about electric cars has become one of the hot conversations on social media twitter. Twitter is a microblogging-based social media that facilitates its users to write short messages and share them easily and quickly. These opinions require sentiment analysis. The purpose of conducting sentiment analysis is to find out how people's perceptions and opinions on electric cars are leading in a positive direction or in a negative direction. Thus, sentiment analysis can help companies in designing marketing strategies, product development, and making better business decisions. Then the opinions will be classified based on positive and negative categories. This research uses the naive bayes classifier method to generate positive and negative sentiment towards electric cars on Twitter. The accuracy results of naive bayes obtained by using a confusion matrix in this research are 78.57% with a dataset split composition of 80%:20%.

Published: September 2023

The aim of the work – to compare the levels of serum sirtuin-1 SIRT1 in patients withCOPD and CCS in their isolated and combined course.Materials and methods. 60 patients diagnosed with COPD, CCS and combined courseof COPD with CCS, as well as 10 practically healthy individuals as a control group,participated in the study. The degree of severity of COPD was assessed by the frequencyof exacerbations and indicators of external respiratory function (ERF): the ratio ofFEV1 (forced expiratory volume in the first second) to FVLC (forced vital capacity of thelungs), as well as the values of FEV1 and VLC. A questionnaire was used to assess theseverity of symptoms, which included the mMRC (modified Medical Research Council),dyspnea severity scale and the COPD Assessment Test. The serum level of SIRT1 wasinvestigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using Human SIRT1 ELISAKitreagents. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using Microsoft Excel andStatistica 10.0 software.The results. A study that included measuring the level of SIRT1 in blood serum showedthe following results: in patients with COPD, the average level of SIRT1 was 5.21±1.16ng/ml, in patients with C it was 6.58±1.40 ng/ml, in patients with a combined course ofCOPD and CCS – 2.32±0.73 ng/ml. The level of SIRT1 in these groups was significantlylower compared to the control group, in which it was 12.23±1.59 ng/ml (p=0.01).
Conclusions. In patients with COPD, CCS, or a combination of these diseases, thelevel of SIRT1 in the blood is lower compared to the control group. Close correlationsbetween the level of SIRT1 in the blood and impaired external respiration, age, symptoms(measured by the mMRC scale and the CAT assessment test), and the severity of thecourse of the disease in patients with COPD and CCS, were revealed.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Some cats live at home with their owners while others live unattended on the streets or in shelters. One might expect that the owned cats would be better prepared for diseases with vaccinations, and good care and feeding conditions whereas the stray cats would be prepared for diseases by constant exposure to microbial factors. However, no study has investigated which group has the stronger immune response against diseases. Cytotoxic T cells and NK cells are known to initiate an immune response that causes apoptosis of the affected cells when stimulated by various factors. This immune response occurs due to an influx of perforin and granzyme proteins into the affected cell. Accordingly, this study compared owned and stray cats in terms of perforin and granzymes gene expression. Blood samples were collected from 30 owned and 30 stray cats, whose health conditions were checked. The samples were analyzed by qPCR for perforin, and granzyme A and granzyme B gene expression. All genes were expressed at a higher level in owned cats, although only the granzyme A gene showed a significant difference (p<0.05). This indicates that this gene plays a more active and significant role in cats than perforin and granzyme B, and that owned cats have a stronger immune response to diseases than stray cats.

Abstract
The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effects of benzoic acid and chelates in which copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn) were bound to methionine hydroxy analogue on growth performance, intestinal morphology, intestinal microbiota and digesta pH value of post-weaning piglets at 28 days of age. The experiment was conducted on 96 piglets randomly assigned to one of four treatments (6 replicate pens of 4 piglets each): 1) control (C) – microminerals were provided as sulfates of Cu, Zn and Mn at 130 (80 at second phase), 100, 120 mg/kg in the first phase, respectively; 2) chelates (CTM), microelements were provided as chelates of Cu, Zn and Mn at 130 (80 in second phase), 60, 60 mg/kg in the first phase, respectively; 3) benzoic acid (BA), with the addition of 2500 mg/kg during both periods; 4) chelates + benzoic acid (CTM + BA), microelements were provided as chelates of Cu, Zn and Mn at 130 (80 in second phase), 60, 60 mg/kg in the first phase, respectively, and 2500 mg/kg of benzoic acid during both periods. Results showed that chelates and benzoic acid supplementation not only improved the final body weight (p<0.05), average daily gain (p<0.05) and feed conversion ratio (p<0.05), but also increased the morphology performance and decreased the number of E. coli in the jejunum and ileum in the treated groups (p<0.05). This study provides the evidence that dietary supplementation has beneficial effects on the intestinal morphology and microflora of weaned pigs, which can partly explain why growth performance of the piglets was improved.

Abstract

Mycoplasma spp. is the cause of serious cattle health disorders that lead to poor reproductive efficiency. Chronic seminal vesiculitis, infertility, vulvovaginitis and dystocia were observed in Mycoplasma spp. infection. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the frequency o f Mycoplasmas in the uterus of postpartum dairy cows and its potential role in the occurrence of subclinical endometritis. Our study included 102 Holstein Friesian dairy cows 22-32 days postpartum. Uterine samples for cytological, bacteriological, and molecular analysis were provided using Cytoprint A I®. Metricheck® was used for the assessment of cervicovaginal mucus. After detection of Mycoplasma spp. genome in uterine samples, the swabs of the vulva, vagina, nasal swab, and samples of milk were sampled in order to exclude possible contamination with other microorganisms as potential trigger of subclinical endometritis. The genome of Mycoplasma spp. in the uterus was confirmed in 4 cows (2.40%). Sequencing of the 16S RNA revealed that detected mycoplasmas belonged to Mycoplasma bovigenitalium and Mycoplasma tauri species, with a prevalence of 1.80% and 0.6%, respectively. The cytological evaluation showed a 69.90%, 54.87% and 48.33% of polymorphonuclear cells for M. bovigenitalium positive cows, and 61.64% for M. tauri positive cow. Bacteriological examination revealed Trueperella pyogenes in uterine samples in all 4 observed cows. This is the first study where M. tauri was detected in the uterus of a live cow with subclinical enodmetritis. In this paper we hypothesized that M. bovigenitalium and M. tauri may have a certain role in the etiology of subclinical enodmetritis.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
The paper presents the statement of the problem of dynamical system „crane-load” optimal control. The acceleration period is under consideration and control must meet the minimum duration condition as well as load oscillations elimination. The objective function, which ensures the final condition satisfaction, is developed and analyzed in terms of its topology features. It includes three arguments and their searching is the essence of the benchmark problem. Two variants of the problem are proposed with varied objective function parameters. Twelve agent-based optimization algorithms have been applied to find solutions to a bunch of problems. A brief analysis of the performance of the algorithms reveals their weaknesses and advantages. Thus, the proposed real-world problem may be exploited to estimate the optimization algorithms’ search performance.

Abstract
In parallel and distributed computing, cloud computing is progressively replacing the traditional computing paradigm. The cloud is made up of a set of virtualized resources in a data center that can be configured according to users’ needs. In other words, cloud computing faces the problem of a huge number of users requesting unlimited jobs for execution on a limited number of resources, which increases energy consumption and the network cost of the system. This study provides a complete analysis of classic scheduling techniques specifically for handling data-intensive workloads to see the effectiveness of the energy and network costs of the system. The workload is selected from a real-world data center. Moreover, this study offers the pros and cons of several classical heuristics-based job scheduling techniques that take into account the time and cost of transferring data from multiple sources. This study is useful for selecting appropriate scheduling techniques for appropriate environments.

Authors: Pushkin Shailendra , Ranvijay  
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) aggregate data from multiple sensors and transfer it to a central node. Sensor nodes should use as little energy as possible to aggregate data. This work has focused on optimal clustering and cluster head node selection to save energy. HyperGraphs (HGC) and cluster head selection based on distance and energy consumption are unique approaches to spectral clustering. GRA computes a relational matrix to select the cluster head. The network’s Moving Agent (MA) may use Hypergraphed Particle Swarm Optimization (HGPSO) to collect data from cluster heads. Compared to the clustering algorithm without agent movement, the HGC-GRA-HGPSO approach has increased residual energy by 5.59% and packets by 2.44%. It also has improved residual energy by 2.45% compared to Grey Wolf Optimizer-based Clustering (GWO-C).

Abstract
This study aims to present an innovative conceptual model of learning, teaching, and training that appears to be applicable to the field of hybrid warfare. It is based on integrating three critical elements such as reference curriculum, teaching methodology, and online support capabilities. By using qualitative research through correlating critical analysis of relevant sources, logical scheme, and cognitive task analysis, each descriptive element is analysed in order to provide an eloquent image of the proposed conceptual model. Also, to gain real feedback on the proposed model as well as on its constitutive elements, the quantitative research using statistical data grouping is performed. The analysis and interpretation of the collected data demonstrate not only a high interest in the designed conceptual model, but also a positive impact at the level of each descriptive element on the academic staff and students from the military and civilian university environment.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate poverty reduction possibilities determining the effect of average wage and unemployment on poverty, identifying the factor that is a more important predictor of poverty in Lithuania. Based on scientific literature analysis, we identify the factors that determine the phenomenon under study. We perform a statistical analysis of the collected data in the period of 2008–2021 to identify trends and patterns in the factors under consideration. The ordinary least squares method allows to estimate the impact of the selected factors on poverty. The results show that unemployment has a statistically significant positive effect (based on the sign of the estimated parameter of the regression model) on poverty, while average wage has a statistically significant negative effect on poverty. Based on the obtained results, we present possible solutions to company managers on how they could contribute to reducing poverty in the country. We conclude that company managers could apply more sustainable development goals in their businesses, reduce gender inequality, increase wages, hire unskilled workers, and help them to improve. In this way, company managers could contribute to reducing poverty in the country.

Abstract
Farm tractor accidents are a frequent cause of death for people in agricultural field of work. The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of the fatal farm tractor accidents, as well as the most significant types of injuries and causes of death. Research is based on epidemiological criteria of subjects, traffic participation, cause of death, distribution of injury, outliving period and toxicological details. The study included 22 (4.2%) farm tractor related fatalities out of all 525 subjects who died from sustained injuries or complications of the injuries sustained in road traffic accidents. The highest number of deaths was reported in men in 95.5%. The highest percentage died of bleeding out (41%), while in 18% of cases, complications that occurred during the outliving period were the cause of death. Analyzing injuries through organ systems, it is observed that the highest number of farm tractor drivers had a chest injury (90%), and the most common chest injury was a rib fracture (82%). When determining the outliving period, the highest number of fatal farm tractor drivers died at the scene of accidents (68.2%). Of all of the subjects, 32% were under the influence of alcohol, while 23% had blood alcohol concentration level greater than 0.5 ‰. The high mortality of farm tractor drivers can be reduced by introducing a mandatory rollover protective structures system and the use of a seat belt in farm tractors with cabs, which would reduce the possibility of the driver falling out of the farm tractor seat and additional injuries due to rollover.
