Authors: Ahat Frederikus 
Published: January 2024

Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus will lead to various chronic complications, both microvascular and macrovascular complications. HbA1c examination is effective for long-term monitoring of blood glucose for people with diabetes mellitus. A high HbA1c value is used as a measure of the development of complications of diabetes mellitus. Diabetic nephropathy is the most common complication of diabetes mellitus which can end in kidney failure resulting in damage to the glomeruli. Indications to determine kidney function impairment is creatinine examination. This study aims to determine the correlation between HbA1c levels and creatinine levels in patients with chronic diabetes mellitus at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory of the Bajawa Regional General Hospital. Analytical observational research with an approach cros- sectional using techniques purposive sampling 35 chronic DM patients. Test results who squares shows that the value of p = (0.687) > α (0.05), thus it can be concluded that there is no relationship between HbA1c levels and Creatinine levels in patients with chronic diabetes mellitus.

Experimental Investigation about the Effects of Blockage on Upstream Box Culverts
Authors: Al-kmoly Duaa Amir H. , Majeed Hayder Q. 
Published: January 2024

This experimental study focuses on scouring in box culvert inlets under steady-state conditions and at different percentages of blockage ranging from 0% to 65%, and also looks at the hydraulics of water in the culvert. The investigation shows that the blockage of the culverts has influenced the scouring pattern at the blocked culverts' entrances. Ten experiments were carried out at the laboratory to see how blockage impacts the scouring pattern upstream of a box culvert during steady flow. Both partially blocked and unblocked cases were implemented in this study. The experimental tests were done until the equilibrium scour occurred, which took about 3.5 hours of water flow to reach equilibrium conditions. The results revealed that the blockage will increase the water depth at the inlet by about 30%–50%, which may affect the safety of structures or cause culvert failure. In addition, the results discovered that the maximum scour depth, which inversely correlated with the obstruction upstream of the box culvert, increased with increasing discharge.

Authors: Pant Yogesh , Shah Gaurav , Ojha Roshan , Thapa Roshan , Bhatta Bharat 
Published: January 2024

This paper demonstrates image classification using deep learning. Deep learning has the inherent ability to automatically discover and extract meaningful features for specific applications. Among the popular techniques in deep learning, the convolutional neural network (CNN) stands out. CNN consists of an input layer, hidden layers, and an output layer, where meaningful features are automatically extracted from input images.
This paper presents the performance and identifies the most effective CNN architectures for accurately classifying images in the CIFAR-10 dataset. Five CNN architectures were implemented, namely [Architecture 1], [Architecture 2], [Architecture 3], [Architecture 4], and [Architecture 5] using the CIFAR-10 dataset. The architectures were selected based on the need to explore variations in convolutional filter sizes, dense layers, and batch normalization to assess their impact on CIFAR-10 image classification performance. Each architecture was trained on a standard training set and evaluated on a validation set. We used specific details on data preprocessing and training settings for a consistent and fair comparison. After training and evaluation, we have obtained the following results for each architecture.
Architecture 1 has a training accuracy of 74.7% and validation accuracy of 76.6%, Architecture 2 has 96.09% and 86.08%, Architecture 3 has 77% and 78.1%, Architecture 4 has 67.91% and 69.54%, and Architecture 5 has 94.64% and 87.34% of training accuracy and validation accuracy respectively. After conducting a comparative analysis, we found that Architecture 5 has achieved the highest validation accuracy in classifying images in the CIFAR-10 dataset. These findings suggest that Architecture 5 is a promising choice for image classification tasks involving the CIFAR-10 dataset.
Influence of gender and quality of sleep in cognitive impairment: A cross-sectional pilot study from Kerala, India
Authors: Rajeev Akhil , Nair Bindu P. 
Published: January 2024

Background: Cognitive decline, a natural aging process, can lead to geriatric neurodegenerative diseases like dementia, which progresses rapidly, with memory complaints and deficits being particularly risky. Sleep is crucial for psychological functions and cognitive functions. The aim of this study was to investigate the connection between the sleep quality and cognitive function like working memory, reaction time (simple and choice reaction time), and attention (sustained/vigilant attention and divided attention) in the south Indian youth population.
Material and methods: A cross-sectional pilot study was carried out on the 30 participants. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess the sleep quality, NIMHANS Neuropsychological Battery for adults was used to assess different neuro-cognitive domains and Computerized test of reaction time to assess the simple reaction time and choice reaction time.
Results: Participants with poor sleep quality showed impaired performance in the tests of attention (Sustained attention and Divided attention). No significant differences were observed between participants of good sleep quality and poor sleep quality in the test of working memory, N Back 1 test (t=0.539, p>0.05) and N Back 2 test of working memory (t=0.306, p>0.05).
ConclusionL Participants with poor sleep quality significantly differed from those with good sleep quality and committed more mistakes in the triad test of divided attention, spend longer time, and committed errors in the completion of the digit vigilance test of sustained attention. Sleep patterns are associated with cognitive test performance, and optimising sleep duration and quality should be an important consideration for cognitive functions.
VEXAS syndrome: A review on clinical manifestations
Authors: Roy Bedanta , Othieno Juliet , Fauzee Nabeeha 
Published: January 2024

Background: VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome is a recently identified progressive, adult-onset, inflammatory disorder. Somatic mutations in the Ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme 1 (UBA1) gene at methionine-41 (p. Met41) were found in the patients. Clinical presentations are not limited to hematological and immunological systems; all organ systems are affected by VEXAS syndrome. The aim of this review is to summarise the scientific evidence accrued from the research studies on VEXAS syndrome, highlighting the clinical features and involvements of different organ systems.
Conclusion: Although the primary manifestations affect the immunological and haematological systems, they gradually affect different other organ systems. Distinct clinical features necessitate ruling out the other possibilities that will be helpful for early diagnosis. More research should be carried out by the global research community in a collaborative manner for a better understanding and early diagnosis of the syndrome.
Effectiveness of Rural Cooperatives as Means to Enhance Conservation through Economic Development
Authors: Upadhyay Ujjwal 
Published: January 2024

Most of the protected areas, mainly in developing countries and least developed countries (LDCs), are surrounded by people with poor livelihood and economic conditions that often tend to encroach the forest resources. Previous studies have found that community having poor access or absence of alternative means often becomes susceptible to a vulnerability that may further deteriorate their livelihood conditions making conservation activity more difficult. Since conservation is always challenging without the cooperation of the surrounding communities, it is thus important to make them more responsive about conservation which is possible if they are socioeconomically self-reliant. As the success of conservation is associated with the surrounding communities’ livelihood conditions, this study tries to understand the role of a grassroot organization like cooperatives on enhancing the prospective factors and overcoming constraints associated with the conservation.
The study conducted 23 in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs) and observations. These respondents were selected through snowball sampling method. Focus group discussions were done between the shareholders/members of Shree Dhampus Agriculture Development Cooperative Limited and the manager of the same cooperative.
One of the main factors that influenced people’s attitudes toward practicing environmentally friendly activities was the financial factor. Due to the financial literacy gained from the local cooperative, people have realized the importance of money which led them to financially evaluate whether to use cooking gas or forest resources. However, limited cooperative educations still obstructs people from realizing the importance of benefits they can derive from cooperatives as well as from the conservation of the environment. Nonetheless, the study concludes that despite various constraints, a good example and potential of clustering was seen at the study site. Clustering not only has helped the big companies in the study site but also was able to build the network among the same types of firms. This clustering of firms and the ‘we’ feeling induced through cooperative can be positively used to promote conservation and protection of wildlife and biodiversity.
Optimizing the algorithm for assessing the efficacy of treatment for amblyopia in astigmats through the investigation of the features of meridional acuity characteristics as vector quantities
Authors: Качан Оксана , Коломієць Володимир 
Published: January 2024

Background: Refractive asymmetry associated with astigmatism may cause a special form of amblyopia, meridional amblyopia (MA). MA manifests itself as alterations in selective mechanisms of visual stimulus processing during recognition of contours of a certain orientation. Current routine examination of amblyopes does not include meridional acuity assessment and thus does not allow determining whether MA is present or not, as well as performing a more detailed evaluation of the efficacy of treatment for amblyopia in astigmats.

Purpose: To optimize the algorithm for assessing the efficacy of stand-alone and complex methods of treatment for amblyopia in astigmats through the determination of the features of changes in visual acuities in orthogonal retinal meridians as vector quantities.

Material and Methods: Twenty-four hyperopic astigmats with amblyopia (48 eyes) aged 5 to 12 years were involved in the study. Patients were treated by accommodative facility training only and, in 3 months, by complex therapy (accommodative facility training plus the use of device-based methods). Treatment course duration was 10 days. The results were assessed by changes in best-corrected visual acuity (Sivtsev Chart) and meridional separable visual acuity (MSVA) determined with the software which generates Landolt ring optotypes.

Results: The study sample was found to be heterogeneous regarding the features of asymmetries in MSVA. Separable visual acuity in the horizontal meridian was equal in magnitude to that in the vertical meridian in 16.65% of patients. Asymmetries in separable visual acuity that may be considered MA were found in dominant and non-dominant (fellow) eyes in 83.35% of astigmats with amblyopia. Two different clusters were determined in the group with asymmetries in MSVA. Separable visual acuity in the horizontal meridian was higher than that in the vertical meridian in 35.45% of eyes in cluster 1, and lower than that in the vertical meridian in 47.85% of eyes in cluster 2. After treatment, mean separable visual acuity value in the vertical meridian was practically similar to that in the horizontal meridian in both groups for the dominant and fellow eyes, which allowed concluding that both methods were equally effective in treating the disease. However, the number of eyes with the same MSVA in orthogonal meridians increased by 10.41% after MA treatment with accommodative facility training only versus 18.75% after complex treatment.

Conclusion: Assessing the features of changes in visual acuities in orthogonal retinal meridians as vector quantities enables obtaining principally new information on the performance of sensory functions in patients with amblyopia and assessing more reliably the efficacy of stand-alone and complex pleoptic methods as methods of treatment for MA.

Maraknya berita media massa mengenai kasus kekerasan seksual pada anak membuat masyarakat bertanya karena perbuatan tersebut seperti gunung es. Dengan adanya seksual pada anak dapat menyebabkan terjadinya faktor-faktor baik secara internal dalam diri anak dan eksternal dari lingkungan sekitar. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif jenis studi literatur. Kekerasan yang terjadi kepada anak belum berusia delapan belas tahun atau di bawah umur dominan tidak dimengerti oleh anak, karena anak belum mengetahui hingga ke arah kekerasan seksual. Oleh sebab itu, sebagai salah satu bentuk pencegahan maka orang tua sebagai pendidik utama bagi anak sangat berperan penting dalam memberikan pengetahuan dasar mengenai kekerasan yang dapat dilakukan dengan cara menjaga bagian tubuh, batas antara perempuan dan laki-laki. Masyarakat dan negara pun memiliki peran dalam perbuatan tindak kekerasan seksual yang dilakukan kepada anak. Kekerasan seksual ini harus segera ditindak lanjut dengan lebih tegas oleh badan hukum yang berwenang agar pelaku jera dengan hukuman yang diberikan
