Abstract
This research presents a gas sensor system featuring a selenized two-dimensional (2D) film as its primary sensing material, integrated with metal-gate-coupled floating gate devices to enable self-convergent calibration. The inherent variability in resistance levels of 2D gas-sensing materials across different devices has been a significant challenge, resulting in substantial deviations of the output signal within the sensing circuit. To address this issue, we introduce a novel self-convergent operational technique, which effectively mitigates the impact of resistance variations thereby enhancing the precision and reliability of gas-sensing outcomes. The proposed gas sensor system promises to deliver consistent and accurate results, even with device-to-device resistance variations, making it a valuable contribution to gas-sensing technology. This work holds substantial potential for various applications requiring highly precise gas detection and quantification.
Active learning for Named Entity Recognition in Kannada

Published: November 2023

<p>Named Entity Recognition (NER) task aims at automatically recognising and classifying named entities in a given natural language input. Majority of the studies related to Named Entity Recognition are focused on English language. Named Entity Recognition in Indian languages is challenging due to the complex grammar and morphology of Indian languages and the scarcity of good quality labelled data. The dissimilarity between the literary and spoken versions of these languages is also a big challenge regarding usability of NER models. Kannada is such an Indian language for which the task of NER is still an active area of research. Usage of Deep learning, especially Transfer learning using Transformer models has drastically improved performance of many NLP tasks at scale. However, Transfer learning still requires considerable amount of data for the required task. In case of low resource language like Kannada, very few labelled datasets are available publicly and creating one from scratch is expensive in terms of time and labor. Active learning (AL) aims to tackle the labelled data acquisition problem by having the learning model and an Oracle to cooperate. Active Learning iteratively builds an optimally labelled and sufficiently large dataset. This study focuses on Named Entity Recognition in Kannada language. We explore the application of Active Learning technique to Named Entity Recognition problem in the low-resource language Kannada. Results show that AL can be used to boost a multilingual models performance in fine-tuning for NER. We also try to mitigate the gap between formal and colloquial dialects of Kannada in NER datasets.</p>

BACKGROUND
Donor-recipient size mismatch (DRSM) is considered a crucial factor for poor outcomes in liver transplantation (LT) because of complications, such as massive intraoperative blood loss (IBL) and early allograft dysfunction (EAD). Liver volumetry is performed routinely in living donor LT, but rarely in deceased donor LT (DDLT), which amplifies the adverse effects of DRSM in DDLT. Due to the various shortcomings of traditional manual liver volumetry and formula methods, a feasible model based on intelligent/interactive qualitative and quantitative analysis-three-dimensional (IQQA-3D) for estimating the degree of DRSM is needed.
AIM
To identify benefits of IQQA-3D liver volumetry in DDLT and establish an estimation model to guide perioperative management.
METHODS
We retrospectively determined the accuracy of IQQA-3D liver volumetry for standard total liver volume (TLV) (sTLV) and established an estimation TLV (eTLV) index (eTLVi) model. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn to detect the optimal cut-off values for predicting massive IBL and EAD in DDLT using donor sTLV to recipient sTLV (called sTLVi). The factors influencing the occurrence of massive IBL and EAD were explored through logistic regression analysis. Finally, the eTLVi model was compared with the sTLVi model through the ROC curve for verification.
RESULTS
A total of 133 patients were included in the analysis. The Changzheng formula was accurate for calculating donor sTLV (P = 0.083) but not for recipient sTLV (P = 0.036). Recipient eTLV calculated using IQQA-3D highly matched with recipient sTLV (P = 0.221). Alcoholic liver disease, gastrointestinal bleeding, and sTLVi > 1.24 were independent risk factors for massive IBL, and drug-induced liver failure was an independent protective factor for massive IBL. Male donor-female recipient combination, model for end-stage liver disease score, sTLVi ≤ 0.85, and sTLVi ≥ 1.32 were independent risk factors for EAD, and viral hepatitis was an independent protective factor for EAD. The overall survival of patients in the 0.85 < sTLVi < 1.32 group was better compared to the sTLVi ≤ 0.85 group and sTLVi ≥ 1.32 group (P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the area under the curve of the sTLVi model and IQQA-3D eTLVi model in the detection of massive IBL and EAD (all P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION
IQQA-3D eTLVi model has high accuracy in predicting massive IBL and EAD in DDLT. We should follow the guidance of the IQQA-3D eTLVi model in perioperative management.
The impact of the use of masks on trait judgments and face recognition
Authors: Pinto Raquel , Albuquerque Pedro B. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractAlthough effective in reducing virus transmission, face masks might compromise face recognition and trait judgments. With this study, we aimed to observe the influence of masks on face recognition and trait judgments—more specifically, in trustworthiness, dominance, and distinctiveness judgments. Also, we wanted to observe the possible influence of trait judgments on facial recognition for masked and unmasked faces, which has never been done before. For that, we conducted an online study where 140 participants observed and made trait judgments of masked and unmasked faces in a within-subjects design. After a distractive task, participants performed a recognition memory test. As expected, we observed a better recognition of faces shown without a mask during the study phase, which allowed the holistic processing of the faces. The worst performance was found for faces encoded with a mask but tested without it, occurring simultaneity disruption in holistic face processing and the violation of the encoding specificity principle. Regarding the trait judgments, unmasked faces were considered more distinctive, and masked faces were considered more trustworthy. More interestingly, we can conclude that facial distinctiveness predicts face recognition, regardless of mask use. In contrast, dominance judgments only predicted face recognition when faces were presented without a mask. When faces were exposed with masks, trustworthiness overrides dominance, becoming more critical to recognizing faces. We can interpret these results from an evolutionary perspective.
Phenotypic identification of Candida species and relative expression of candida drug resistance (CDR1) gene in fluconazole resistant and sensitive Candida albicans
Authors: Muneeza Umer Muneeza 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT:
Background and objective:
Candida albicans belongs to the genus Candida. It is a commensal yeast in healthy individuals and can cause wide variety of infections in immune-compromised patients. The aim of the present study was to observe the frequency of Candida species, resistant profile of C. albicans against fluconazole and over-expression of CDR1 gene in both fluconazole resistant and sensitive C. albicans.
Methodology:
A total number of 206 Candida species were collected on Sabouraud Dextrose agar from Jinnah hospital Lahore. The isolates were re-confirmed by using various microbiological techniques like wet preparation, Gram stain and Germ tube test. Identification upto the species level was done by APIC 20AUX. Antifungal susceptibility profile of C. albicans against fluconazole was determined by broth microdilutiom method. Real Time PCR was performed on both the sensitive and resistant C. albicans to observe the role of CDR1 gene against fluconazole resistance. Results:

tropicals was the most common species with the frequency of 66 (32.0%) followed by C. albicans 41(19.9), C. glabrata 24 (11.7%), C. lusitaniae 14 (6.8%) and other less common species. The majority of infected patients were females (59.2%) than males (41%). Antifungal susceptibility testing showed that 80% C. albicans were sensitive to fluconazole. Results of gene expression showed that CDR1 gene play a major role towards fluconazole resistance in C.albicans.Conclusion: Fluconazole was found to be effective in treating infections caused by C. albicans.

Background: Heterotaxy syndrome (or situs ambiguous) is an extremely rare disorder in which the viscera are arranged in an abnormally asymmetrical pattern around the midline along with cardiac and spleen abnormalities. The management of this disorder depends upon the extent and variability of the organ involvement and a multi-disciplinary approach is often required.
Case presentation: A middle-aged male presented in pulmonology OPD with with complaint of hemoptysis and shortness of breath for 3 weeks. He had a history of cyanotic spells since childhood. His HRCT chest revealed dextrocardia, generalized mild centrilobular emphysema of the lungs with fibrotic bands and mild cylindrical bronchiectasis and his echocardiography showed dextrocardia along with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary hypertension. He was found to have abnormally positioned abdominal viscera along with multiple spleens and he was diagnosed as a case of heterotaxy syndrome with left isomerism. His respiratory symptoms were treated conservatively and the patient was referred to the cardiology unit for management of cardiac defects.
Conclusion: This manuscript describes a case of heterotaxy syndrome which is a rare disorder with significant mortality and morbidity. The patient may present with vague symptoms. Early involvement of all the relevant specialities might help in a prompt diagnosis and timely management, which may improve the disease outcome.

Authors: Sajjad Muhammad Mohsin , Tariq Amina , Shabbir Muhammad , Yousaf Sidra 
Published: November 2023

Background:
General anesthesia is still needed for several surgical interventions and requires endotracheal intubation. The difficult airway is a well-known entity, and a long list of predicting scores is present, yet a high degree of diagnostic accuracy still needs to be improved. Acromioaxillosuprasternal notch index (AASI) has shown some excellent results in recent times.
Objective:
Its objective is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of acromioaxillosuprasternal notch index for predicting difficult airways and to take the Cormack and Lehane grading system as the gold standard.
Methodology:
In this study, adults of both genders aged 20 to 70 years undergoing any surgery under general anesthesia having ASA class I to IV were included. AASI score of equal or less than 0.49 was taken as difficult airway while on Cormack and Lehane grade; it was labeled as yes where grade III or IV was seen.
Results:
The total number of cases were 350 cases, out of which 218 (62.29%) were males, and 132 (37.71%) were females. The mean age was 40.20±12.86 years, and the mean BMI was 24.71±3.13 (table 17). There were 294 (84%) cases in ASA Class I and II and 56 (14%) in class III and IV. Difficult intubation on AASI was seen in 54 (15.43%) and 57 (16.29%) cases on Cormack and Lehane grading.
The diagnostic accuracy of AASI for prediction of difficult intubating a difficult was 96.29% with sensitivity of 90.74%, specificity of 97.30%, PPV of 85.96%, NPV of 98.29% with p= 0.001. This difference was also statistically significant with all the confounding variables like age, gender, ASA class, and BMI.
Conclusion:
The acromioaxillosuprasternal notch index is a
significant predictor for tubing a difficult airway and taking Cormack and Lehane's grading as the gold standard. This difference is considerably better regarding age, gender, BMI, and ASA class.
