Purpose: This is the first report of an institutional-based cancer registry in Clínica de Oncología Astorga, in Medellín, Colombia. It was created to produce local information on socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, therapies, and survival outcomes of patients with the most frequent tumors in the institution. Methods: All consecutive patients with cancers of the breast (BC), prostate (PC), lung (LC), colorectal (CRC), ovarian, stomach, pancreas, cervical, and melanoma, diagnosed after January 1/2019, and treated at the institution were included. A description of the entire cohort and of the five most frequent tumor types was performed. Kaplan-Meier curves for each tumor stage were used to estimate overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v22. Results: Data from 729 patients were analyzed. The median follow-up was 12.0 months (IQR 5.8-18.1). The main diagnoses were BC, PC, CRC, LC, and cervical cancer in 57.2%, 10.2%, 8.0%, 7.7%, and 5.8% of patients, respectively. The most frequent stage at diagnosis was: stage II for BC (36.6%) and PC (35.1%), stage III for CRC (62.1%) and cervical cancer (50.0%), and stage IV for LC (62.5%). In BC cases, the median PFS for stage IV patients was 10.8 months (95%CI: 8.7-13.0). In LC cases, median PFS and OS for stage IV were 5.6 months (95%CI: 4.1-7.0), and 6.8 months (95%CI: 2.5-11.1), respectively. Conclusion: Even though follow-up is short in this first report, PFS for metastatic BC and PFS and OS for metastatic LC reflect the aggressive nature of these conditions in Colombia.
Somatropin for Growth Hormone Deficiency
Authors: Tran Khai , Grobelna Alexandra 
Published: August 2023

We identified 2 evidence-based guidelines that provide recommendations for the clinical management of children and adults with growth hormone deficiency.
The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and American College of Endocrinology guideline provides recommendations on assessment, screening, diagnostic testing, treatment, and monitoring for a range of patients with different causes of adult growth hormone deficiency. The recommendations emphasize accurate diagnosis using appropriate growth hormone cut points for different growth hormone–stimulation tests and careful interpretation of serum growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 levels. Treatment with recombinant human growth hormone should be carried out with consideration of the benefits and risks specific to each individual patient.
The Pediatric Endocrine Society guideline provides recommendations for the clinical management of children and adolescents with growth failure due to growth hormone deficiency. The guideline lists various conditions for which growth hormone deficiency can be diagnosed by conventional approaches without growth hormone–stimulation testing. The treatment dose of growth hormone should be calculated based on weight and body surface area and not on insulin-like growth factor-1 levels. The guideline highlights that the initial growth hormone dose, subsequent dosing, and discontinuation of pediatric doses should be assessed based on each individual patient.
Both guidelines recognize the uncertainty of long-term safety (i.e., posttreatment effects) of growth hormone treatment, which is a limitation of both guidelines.

Authors: Andriana Myra , Priyadi Priyadi 
Published: August 2023

Penelitian ini dilakukan pada salah satu MTs di Kabupaten Semarang. Sistem penggajian yang ada pada sekolah ini belum terkomputerisasi. Permasalahan yang timbul dengan sistem yang sekarang berjalan adalah adanya kesalahan dalam perhitungan gaji guru. Selain itu dalam pemrosesan perhitungan gaji guru membutuhkan waktu yang cukup lama. Bendahara harus merekap presensi guru dan jadwal mengajar guru sebagai dasar untuk perhitungan gaji, sehingga menjadi kurang efisien. Proses ini memiliki potensi kesalahan yang cukup tinggi yang dapat berdampat pada nominal gaji yang diterima para guru honorer ini tidak sesuai dengan yang seharusnya.
Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut dikembangkan sistem penggajian dengan menggunakan metode R&D atau penelitian pengembangan. Pada tahap awal, persyaratan sistem ditentukan dengan mengumpulkan berbagai data dan menganalisis data yang diperoleh. Langkah selanjutnya adalah merancang sistem dengan menggambarkan aliran data dan aliran sistem, merancang tabel, membuat diagram hubungan entitas (ERD), dan merancang antarmuka sistem. Sistem yang dikembangkan juga diuji. Basis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah MySQL. Dengan mengembangkan sistem penggajian yang terkomputerisasi dapat mempermudah dan membuat pekerjaan kasir lebih efisien dalam menentukan kehadiran guru, penjadwalan, menghitung upah dan pelaporan.

Authors: Silvia FardilaSoliha  
Published: August 2023

Main Objective: Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui penyebab dari flaky test yang paling umum terjadi pada proyek Python dengan membandingkan penelitian yang berfokus pada proyek Java sebelumnya. Background problem: Tes tidak stabil dapat gagal atau lulus tanpa ada perubahan pada kode yang diuji, ini dapat menghancurkan kepercayaan pengembang pada rangkaian pengujian dan jika diabaikan menyebabkan bug dalam kode yang dirilis. Novelty: penelitian menggunakan pendekatan empiris dari proyek Python open-source paling populer di GitHub. Sejumlah 197 komitmen dengan kata kunci yang menunjukkan kelemahan uji diperiksa secara manual dan dikategorikan menurut akar penyebab kelemahan masing-masing. Research Method: metode analisis pengujian flakiness digunakan dengan urutan tahap filtering commit dan dua analisis. Finding/Result: hasil penelitian dibandingkan dengan studi proyek Java sebelumnya, dan ditemukan dua penyebab kelemahan yakni presisi dan pelatihan (jaringan Machine learning). Flakiness presisi disebabkan oleh pernyataan dengan ambang batas yang terlalu tinggi atau terlalu rendah. Kelemahan pelatihan disebabkan oleh pengaturan pelatihan yang salah dari jaringan Machine learning dalam pengujian. Sebagian besar tes dalam proyek Python ditemukan tidak stabil karena masalah dengan menunggu asinkron, presisi, dan jaringan. Conclusion: Developer Python dimasa depan akan mendapat manfaat dari pengetahuan tentang jebakan umum yang dapat menyebabkan kelemahan dalam rangkaian pengujian mereka. Hasil dari penelitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai referensi bagi para peneliti di masa depan dengan area penlitian tes flakiness atau area serupa lainnya..
Insights of warm-cloud biases in Community Atmospheric Model 5 and 6 from the single-column modeling framework and Aerosol and Cloud Experiments in the Eastern North Atlantic (ACE-ENA) observations
Authors: Wang Yuan , Zheng Xiaojian , Dong Xiquan , Xi Baike , Yung Yuk L. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract. There has been a growing concern that most climate models predict precipitation that is too frequent, likely due to lack of reliable subgrid variability
and vertical variations in microphysical processes in low-level warm clouds.
In this study, the warm-cloud physics parameterizations in the singe-column
configurations of NCAR Community Atmospheric Model version 6 and 5 (SCAM6
and SCAM5, respectively) are evaluated using ground-based and airborne
observations from the Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Aerosol and Cloud Experiments in the Eastern
North Atlantic (ACE-ENA) field campaign near the Azores islands during
2017–2018. The 8-month single-column model (SCM) simulations show that both SCAM6 and SCAM5 can
generally reproduce marine boundary layer cloud structure, major
macrophysical properties, and their transition. The improvement in warm-cloud properties from the Community Atmospheric Model 5 and 6 (CAM5 to CAM6) physics can be found through comparison with the observations. Meanwhile, both physical schemes underestimate cloud liquid
water content, cloud droplet size, and rain liquid water content but
overestimate surface rainfall. Modeled cloud condensation nuclei (CCN)
concentrations are comparable with aircraft-observed ones in the summer but are
overestimated by a factor of 2 in winter, largely due to the biases in the
long-range transport of anthropogenic aerosols like sulfate. We also test
the newly recalibrated autoconversion and accretion parameterizations that
account for vertical variations in droplet size. Compared to the
observations, more significant improvement is found in SCAM5 than in SCAM6.
This result is likely explained by the introduction of subgrid variations
in cloud properties in CAM6 cloud microphysics, which further suppresses the
scheme's sensitivity to individual warm-rain microphysical parameters. The
predicted cloud susceptibilities to CCN perturbations in CAM6 are within a
reasonable range, indicating significant progress since CAM5 which produces an
aerosol indirect effect that is too strong. The present study emphasizes the
importance of understanding biases in cloud physics parameterizations by
combining SCM with in situ observations.

Authors: Singh Rupinder , Singh Sardar 
Published: August 2023

There has been a critical need for development of cost-effective aluminum (Al) based metal matrix composites (MMCs) for various industrial applications. But hither to no work has been reported for process capability analysis of Al based MMC prepared by combining fused deposition modelling (FDM), vacuum moulding and stir casting process. In the present work an approach to macro-model the hardness of Al based MMC have been proposed and applied for process capability analysis. The relationship between hardness and other input parameters have been deduced by using Taguchi technique L9 orthogonal array. The result of study indicate that value of process capability indices is greater than 1 for the MMC developed by combining FDM, vacuum moulding and stir casting process. Hence the process can be used for commercial batch production activities.

Authors: Singh Gurpartap , Singh Kanwarpreet , Singh Harpreet 
Published: August 2023

Considering high fuel prices, limited petroleum reserves and expanding market of two wheelers in India, an experiment was performed to investigate fuel consumption of a two wheeler running on hydrogen-gasoline blended fuel. A 2002 model two stroke, single cylinder SI engine Bajaj scooter was used for the research experiment. A little modification was done to the vehicle as per requirements and a hydrogen generation kit was installed to supply hydrogen on-board. Another unmodified vehicle of same model and manufacturing year was used for comparison. At about constant speed of 1500 rpm, fuel consumption of the vehicle was recorded. The test results showed that the modified engine with hydrogen- gasoline blend as a fuel consumed 60% less gasoline as compared to a similar vehicle in which same quantity of fuel was supplied.
Healthcare Measurement of ECG and Body Temperature Signals Using Android Mobile
Authors: Navaneethan V. , Kavitha R. 
Published: August 2023

This project is a step towards the preventative healthcare for cardiac patients. It seeks to develop a smart mobile ECG monitoring system that continuously monitors what is happening around the subject when an arrhythmia event occurs. The problem we are facing now is the unexpected death of our loved ones because of the sudden heart attack. Because of the changing life style the heart attack rate is increasing day by day. The current heart attack death rate is about 25% of the total deaths in India. The main cause of heart attack death is the lack of medical care at the right time. This problem can be avoided by this project. Here I am presenting an android based portable ECG monitor. The patient will be wearing a small device which senses the ECG data. It will send the sensed data to the patient’s Android mobile through Bluetooth. The Android mobile will be having an application which will be running a heart attack detection algorithm. If any abnormalities are found the patient will be notified through an audible alarm and first aid techniques will be shown to the patient in the phone’s display. This first aid instruction will increase the chance of survival of the patient. A report of the ECG will be send to the patient’s doctor through email so that he can prepare himself for the treatment. And also a sms containing patient’s location (gps data) will be send to the hospital so that help can be given at the earliest even if the patient is travelling. The goal is to provide early heart attack detection so that the patient will be given medical attention within the first few critical hours, thus greatly improving his or her chances of survival.
A Pathological Voices Assessment Using Classification
Authors: Arikrishnan T. , Darani C. P. 
Published: August 2023

The diagnosing of pathological voice may be a tedious topic and it receives abundant attention. There are several diseases that adversely have an effect on our human speech (voice). The doctor will use only the equipments for detection of pathological voice. However, it is invasive and needs an skilled analysis of diverse human speech signal parameters. Automatic voice analysis for pathological speech has its own blessings, like 1) its quantitative and non-invasive nature. 2) permitting the identification and observance of vocal system diseases. Within the pathological voice classification techniques gathered by the voice of a patient, the goal is to discriminate whether the given voice is normal or pathological. From the speech Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) has been extracted from the voice information and classified into two categories. However, the accuracy of the earlier classification methodology may need additional improvement. In my project work, Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used for pathological voice classification with non-invasive nature to diagnose and analyze the voice of the patient.

Authors: Kulkarni R. M. , Rudrakshi G. B. , Narasimhamurthy H. N. 
Published: August 2023

This paper presents the experimental investigation of the influence of process parameters of twin screw extrusion on the dispersion, electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy/CB nanocomposites. Four factors, namely, loading level of carbon black in epoxy, screw speed; temperature and number of passes were selected for the design of L18 OA layout. Response factors such as electrical resistivity, glass transition temperature, microhardness and impact strength of epoxy/CB nanocomposites were studied. From TGA, the addition of CB to epoxy resulted in improved thermal stability. ANOVA of the experimental results showed that CB loading had significant influence on all the responses.
