Smart Car Parking System
Authors: - Santhosh.C , - Thilakkumar.M , - Joyce Jacob.J 
Published: November 2023

This project proposes a smart car parking system that utilizes Arduino UNO, a servo motor,
a 16x2 i2c LCD display, two IR sensors (one at the entry and the other at the exit), a PAM
8403 Amp, and a speaker to inform the user about the availability of parking slots. The
system works by detecting the presence of a car using the IR sensors and updating the display
to show the number of available slots. The servo motor controls the barrier at the entry and
exit, while the PAM 8403 Amp and speaker provide voice notifications to guide the driver
through the parking process. This system simplifies the parking process by providing real-
time information and voice guidance, enhancing the overall parking experience.

Abstract
Lunar swirls have been traditionally considered to be unaffected by topographic changes. Yet, correlations between areas of high albedo and lower elevations are observed in regions of the Mare Ingenii swirl. Here, we apply similar techniques used at Mare Ingenii to determine if correlations between swirl units and topography also exist within Reiner Gamma. We generate topography using the techniques of stereophotoclinometry to Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera Narrow Angle Camera images to derive meter- to submeter-scale topography. We choose a 50 km2 study region with a 2.6 m ground sample distance (GSD), and within this region there is a 1 km2 subregion with a 0.8 m GSD. We use surface reflectance data at multiple viewing geometries to classify these regions into different swirl units using machine learning techniques. Statistical analyses of the data show mean height variations between on- and off-swirl of ∼4 m, with on-swirl at a lower elevation. It is not clear how this scale of elevation difference influences the formation of swirl units, but it supports postulations of dust migration and magnetic sorting contributing to their formation.
Le Istruzioni Pre-Arrivo nelle chiamate di emergenza: uno studio qualitativo sul vissuto degli infermieri in una Centrale Operativa 118 della Toscana (Italia)

Published: November 2023

Introduzione: questo studio si pone l’obiettivo di indagare il vissuto emotivo ed esperienziale degli Infermieri di Centrale Operativa di Emergenza Sanitaria che, nel corso di una chiamata di emergenza, impartiscono telefonicamente le Istruzioni Pre-Arrivo (IPA). Sono state analizzate le sensazioni che l’operatore sperimenta in queste situazioni nonostante non vi sia un contatto diretto con l’interlocutore, le tecniche per sviluppare l’efficacia della comunicazione e le eventuali difficoltà incontrate durante lo svolgimento di questo scenario.
Materiali e Metodi: lo studio è stato realizzato attraverso un breve questionario finalizzato al reclutamento di soggetti idonei alla ricerca, e un’intervista semi-strutturata volta a comprendere il vissuto esperienziale in un campione di convenienza di Infermieri. Garantendo l’anonimato, l’intervista è stata audio registrata tramite smartphone.
Risultati: sono state raccolte dieci interviste, in seguito analizzate secondo i principi dell’Analisi Tematica. Sono stati estrapolati sei temi: emozioni emerse durante il racconto, vissuto durante la chiamata, vissuto alla fine della chiamata, esito positivo delle IPA - punti di forza e utente, esito positivo delle IPA - punti di forza dell’Infermiere, difficoltà incontrate.
Discussioni e Conclusioni: dai temi estrapolati, emerge che gli intervistati per la maggior parte si sono dimostrati in grado di gestire situazioni di forte stress emotivo, si trovano d’accordo sul fatto che un utente istruito e un buon uso della dialettica migliori la performance. Entrare in contatto con l’interlocutore rende più facile la collaborazione, e l’esperienza fatta sul campo è più utile dei corsi specifici. Svolgere una attività di disinnesco (defusing) al termine di situazioni particolare vissute, aiuta a decomprimere lo stress e arricchisce il bagaglio esperienziale dei colleghi.
A Naive approach: Translation of Natural Language to Structured Query Language
Authors: Rautaray Jyotirmayee , Mishra Pranati 
Published: November 2023

A database is a major source of information which plays an important role in our life. Information retrieval from the database requires formulating a querythatisunderstandablebythecomputerinordertoproducedesiredoutput. Generally, databases work with structured query language (SQL). But a naive user usually unfamiliar with the structured query language as well as structure of the table in the database. Hence, it becomes very difficult for the naïve-user to collect the desired information. This paper provides a solution to this problem and it enables users to retrieve information through natural language, such as English language. Being able to access information from the database by using natural language bridges the man-machine gap. Tokenization, lexical analysis, syntactic analysis, semantic analysis, and other complex stages are all involved in converting a natural language query into a SQL query. The purpose of this paper is to translate natural language queries into Structure Query Language queries, allowing non-technical people to get connected to databases and to gather the required information.

Authors: Nnaji C.C. 
Published: November 2023

The status of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities was investigated in sixty schools in seven local government areas of Enugu State, Nigeria. A total of sixty schools comprising of twenty-four (24) private schools, twenty (20) government schools and Sixteen (16) mission schools were investigated in this study. Using questionnaire and on-the-spot assessment, WASH facilities in the selected schools were subjected to in-depth scrutiny. The highest number of schools that do not have a water source within the school premises are government schools (10), followed by private schools (7) and then mission schools (2). About seventy-one percent (71%) of the schools investigated rely on self-help water supply sources such as water vendors, rainwater harvesting and private boreholes. Fifty-seven (57) or 95% of the sixty (60) schools of all the schools have toilet facilities ranging from improved pit latrine (10%), flush toilet (31.7%) and pour flush toilet (53.3%). With respect to toilet cleaning, 33%, 17% and 50% of private, government and mission school clean their toilets every day. Fifty-five percent (55%) of all schools always provide handwashing facilities while 13.3% never provide handwashing facilities. Based on school category, the distribution of schools that provide handwashing facilities are as follows: private schools – 54.2%, government schools – 40% and mission schools – 75%. There was a significant correlation (r = 0.85) between availability of toilet facilities and provision of handwashing facilities. There was also a significant correlation (r = 0.555) between the provision of handwashing facilities and the provision of soap.

Published: November 2023

Purpose: To investigate the suitability of sesame oil as an oily phase for diclofenac emulgel formulation.
Methods: Different batches of emulgel comprising different proportions of oils (sesame oil and/or Labrafac CC), surfactants (Tween-80 and/or cremophor EL-30), and gelling agents (xanthan gum or gelatin) were prepared. The formulations were evaluated for rheology, syneresis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, spreadability, extrudability, and anti-inflammatory activity.
Results: Product characteristics of batches A2, A4, and A6 were not consistent with those of emulgels. Because Batch A1 showed characteristics that were the most stable, such as no pH changes, nonstatistically significant changes (p = 1.000) in the viscosity results, and least spectrum changes following FTIR investigation, it was selected as the best batch. It showed similar anti-inflammatory activity when compared with commercially available diclofenac emulgel, giving a 50 % higher anti-inflammatory effect than aqueous diclofenac dispersion.
Conclusion: Sesame oil is a potential lipophilic component in emulgel formulations for topical delivery of hydrophobic drugs.

Purpose: To determine the effect of paclitaxel octreotide conjugate (POC) on human ovarian paclitaxelresistant cell xenograft tumor model and the mechanism underlying reversal of paclitaxel resistance.
Methods: Forty female BALB/c-nu/nu mice were subcutaneously inoculated with 106 paclitaxel-resistant cells (a2780/taxol) per mouse during the logarithmic growth phase of ovarian cancer. They were randomly divided into four groups (control, octreotide, paclitaxel and POC). Immunohistochemical streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) method was used to determine expression of nuclear proliferation antigen (PCNA) while TUNEL method was used to assess apoptosis of human ovarian cancer metastasis. Realtime polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to assay mRNA expression levels of somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2), multidrug-resistant gene (MDR1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and acetylated tubulin (α-tubulin and β-III-tubulin), while the corresponding protein expressions were assayed using western blotting.
Results: Immunohistochemical SP showed significantly lower PCNA levels in octreotide, paclitaxel and POC groups than in control mice, but that of POC mice was significantly reduced, relative to those of octreotide and paclitaxel groups (p < 0.05). There were significantly higher expression levels of SSTR2 mRNA and protein in octreotide, paclitaxel and POC groups than in control mice, but they were significantly higher in POC group than in octreotide and paclitaxel groups (p < 0.05). The mRNA and protein expressions of other factors in POC mice were significantly lower than those in both octreotide and paclitaxel groups (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Paclitaxel-octreotide conjugate effectively inhibits the growth of a2780/taxol xenografts in nude mice, induces tumor cell apoptosis, and suppresses tumor cell growth via mechanism involving enhancement of SSTR2 expression, and decreases in levels of acetylated tubulin, matrix metalloproteinase-9, and vascular endothelial growth factor.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical efficacy of the combination of minocycline and periodontal basic treatment on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) and its impact on inflammatory factors.
Methods: A total of 90 T2DM patients with CP admitted to the Department of Stomatology in Hainan Medical College Second Affiliated Hospital, China from January 2020 to October 2022, were enrolled in this study and randomly assigned to two equal groups, viz, study and control group. Study group received minocycline in addition to routine hypoglycemic control and basic periodontal treatment, while control group received only routine hypoglycemic control and basic periodontal treatment. Treatment lasted for 8 weeks. Efficacy of the combination of minocycline and periodontal basic treatment of T2DM patients with CP in the two groups, as well as the periodontal probing depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), bleeding on probing (sulcus bleeding index, SBI), interleukin-36 (IL-36), interleukin-1β (IL1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, chewing function score, Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) score, and incidence of adverse reactions before and after treatment were determined.
Results: The effectiveness/efficacy of treatment in study group (91.11 %) was significantly higher than in control group (75.56 %, p < 0.05). After treatment, study group had reduced PD, PLI, and SBI scores than control group (p < 0.05). Study group also showed lower levels of IL-1β, IL-36, and TNF-α as well as reduced OHIP-14 score and a higher chewing function score than control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The combination of minocycline with periodontal basic treatment improves the efficacy in T2DM patients with CP, and reduces the level of inflammatory factors with a good margin of safety.

This paper presents the results of the antibacterial activity of green tea extract (Camellia sinensis) against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 708903). Quantitative and qualitative measurements of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) have also been reported. The analysis by High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) revealed the presence of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in the green tea extracts ranging from 13.16 to 18.64 mg/g. Crude extracts GT 01–GT 03 inhibited a greater number of microorganisms and presented the lowest values of MIC against Staphylococcus aureus (0.625 mg/mL), Escherichia coli (0.625 mg/mL), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (1.25 mg/mL). Crude extract GT 04 presented the highest values of MIC against Staphylococcus aureus (1.25 mg/mL), Escherichia coli (1.25 mg/mL), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (2.5 mg/mL). This study demonstrates that the popular use of green tea can be an effective and sustainable alternative for the prevention and treatment of various bacterial infections.

Published: November 2023

Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) is renowned worldwide for its multiple land use where pastoralism and wildlife conservation co-exist. Thus, the NCA must meet a delicate balance of competing needs between livestock and wildlife. Currently the NCA is conducting resettlement program to facilitate pastoralists who are willing to move and resettle outside of the conservation area in order to reduce the number of people and livestocks in NCA. The common eland (Tragelaphus oryx) are among the large herbivore species found in the NCA that might be affected by possible competition between livestock and wildlife. The information on this species including habitat utilization and feeding ecology is limited. This study therefore, investigated the factors influencing habitat use and diet composition of the common eland (Tragelaphus oryx) in NCA. Data were collected along 82 pre-established transects using direct field survey. The study therefore assessed habitat use, distribution patterns, diet composition and conservation threats facing the common eland in NCA, The results indicated that the grassland habitat was mainly used by elands (> 85% in both dry and wet seasons), while other habitats were least used (< 15%). Eland diet composition varied significantly among plant species, with the animals most frequently feeding on Themeda triandra but rarely on Vachellia tortilis and Hibiscus aponeurus. The study concludes with recommendations for enhancement of grassland habitat management and reduced anthropogenic activities to enhance eland conservation in NCA.

Comparison between biofeedback Acapella and biofeedback flutter devices in COPD: A new way to improve airway clearance
Authors: Dhanraj Menezes Aneesha , Rekha K. , Sanjeev Rai B. 
Published: November 2023

Introduction and Aim: In recent years, biofeedback systems have been integrated into a variety of devices. Biofeedback system is the process of gaining awareness of one's physiological functions by an apparatus which provides participants feedback of their performance. Respiratory training with a biofeedback system provides the correct breathing pattern, reduces respiratory rate and tension, enhances respiratory function, improves gaseous exchange, improves ventilation and perfusion mismatch. Therefore, it reduces sympathetic nervous system activity by clearing secretions. As clearing the mucous from the airways is the initial stage of respiratory rehabilitation, this study sought to implement a biofeedback system in an Acapella and flutter device and compared the effectiveness of both the positive expiratory pressure (PEP) devices (Acapella and Flutter) with biofeedback on lung functions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.

Materials and Methods: 30 patients were assigned randomly to the acapella group or the flutter group with 15 patients in each group. The Acapella biofeedback group used the Biofeedback Acapella device for 15-20 minutes per day for five days, while the Flutter biofeedback group used the Biofeedback Flutter device simultaneously.

Results: The biofeedback acapella group and the biofeedback flutter group showed significantly higher increases in forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and oxygen saturation (SpO2). There was no significant difference between the groups. In addition, there was a significant difference in sputum weight, within both the groups reducing significant amounts of sputum and improving symptoms.

Conclusion: These results suggest that both Biofeedback Acapella device and the Biofeedback Flutter device help in improving lung function and oxygen saturation in COPD patients. Further scientific studies are needed to be performed to confirm the results and to determine the optimal durations and frequencies used in these devices. We also recommend further improvement and development of airway clearance devices.
