Abstract

Aim of this study: To evaluate safety and efficacy of laparoscope in these cases.
Methods: We had 9 cases of total colonic aganglionosis (TCA). A total colectomy was done in all cases. The average age to do an ileal pullthrough in ileostomized cases was one year; the closure of the ileostomy was performed after three years old, while in four nonileostomized cases was 2- 3 years old to do an operation. We separated these cases into two groups: Group A underwent direct ileoanal anastomosis with laparoscopic assistance for transanal pull-through, and Group B underwent laparoscopic Duhamel surgery.
Results: We followed our cases 2 years postoperative, so we had two groups. In Group A, we found two cases of stenosis that respond to regular dilatation, one case of enterocolitis, two cases of faecal incontinence, three cases of perianal dermatitis, particularly in the first year after surgery, and electrolyte disturbance from frequent faecal incontinence. In contrast, Group B experienced three occurrences of enterocolitis, two episodes of constipation, in both groups, there was no anastomotic leak.
Conclusion: Minimal invasive surgery is safe and have several advantages for cases of total colonic aganglionosis.

Abstract

The paper reports the use of THz time domain spectroscopy for the measurements of thickness, refractive index and dielectric constants of chicken egg shells. Twelve numbers of table and fertile egg samples were selected. The experiment was performed in the reflection geomwtry using fiber-coupled Terahertz source between 0–4.0 THz range. The reflected time domain signal from the inner eggshell-membrane boundary and the outer eggshell interface was used, to determine shell thickness in the frequency domain. The results were verified with Field Emission Scanning Electron-Microscopy (FESEM). In the next step, the obtained Time/frequency domain spectra data were used to ascertain the R.I., absorption coefficients, and real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constants for the first time. It was noticed that values of R.I. of normal eggs at 0.8 THz were higher than 2.5 as compared to fertile eggs. Similarly, the absorption coefficient values for nonfertile eggs lie between 2–14 cm− 1 compared to fertile eggs, which lie between 2–10 cm− 1 range. The most important aspect of our study is related to measurements of real and imaginary parts of dielectric constants between 1.2 and 3.0 THz range the nonfertile eggs show a steep drop in values between 4 − 2.0 range while fertile eggs show an almost linear response of 4 .0 in the given frequency range. The imaginary parts show nonfertile egg values between 7.0 to 3.75 while fertile eggs show a consistent result of the order of 5.0. It further opens a new channel to enhance the poultry industries. The results were verified using field emission scanning electron microscopy results. This non-destructive technique can play a very important role in the poultry industry in minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency.

Abstract

Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) have emerged as promising candidates for spintronic devices, offering a unique combination of semiconducting and magnetic properties. In the present study, ZnO (Z) and Zn0.2Cu0.8O (C) nanostructured materials were synthesized using sol–gel and co–precipitation methods, respectively. Their composite, ZnO: Zn0.2Cu0.8O (ZC), was fabricated to investigate the structural and electrical properties. X–ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirms the hexagonal wurtzite phase and reveals a reduced crystallite size and suppressed lattice strain across the lattice of ZC composite, as compared to the pure phases (i.e. Z & C). Rietveld refinements and Williamson–Hall (W–H) analysis further established changes in lattice parameters and strain effect. The dielectric constant, measured for a frequency range between 20 Hz and 2 MHz, shows a significant enhancement in its values for composite material which can be attributed to the interfacial polarization and oxygen vacancies. Impedance spectroscopy reveals lower impedance in the ZC composite indicating better conduction pathways due to enhanced defect density and grain boundary interactions. AC conductivity, analyzed using Jonscher's power law, demonstrates that the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) mechanism governs the conduction, with ZC composite sample exhibiting the highest conductivity among all the three samples. These findings suggest that the composite exhibits improved dielectric and electrical performance due to synergistic effects between ZnO and Zn0.2Cu0.8O phases, making it a promising material for electronic and optoelectronic applications.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

The design and analysis of skyscrapers are critical endeavors in modern structural engineering, especially considering the challenges posed by lateral loads such as wind and seismic forces. One innovative solution to enhance the structural performance of tall buildings is the incorporation of outrigger systems, particularly the K-style outrigger belt truss system, along with coupled shear walls. This paper presents a Study of the analysis, design, and performance evaluation of skyscrapers utilizing the K-style outrigger belt truss system in conjunction with continuous shear walls under lateral loads. In this work, skyscrapers using two different models one with a K-style outrigger continuous shear wall and the other with a K-style outrigger belt truss system are compared. Both models are subjected to linear dynamic analysis that is Response Spectrum Method with ETABS software, and the K-style outrigger belt truss system is further analyzed using non-linear dynamic analysis that is Time History Analysis to assess its performance under more extreme loading conditions. The continuous shear wall model combines continuous vertical walls with the K-style outrigger system in an effort to increase rigidity and load distribution capabilities. The K-style outrigger belt truss system includes strategically placed horizontal trusses in a K-pattern, connecting the building's core to its perimeter columns. A single outrigger structure's outriggers are positioned at four different heights: 0.20H, 0.40H, 0.60H, and 0.80H, and The double outrigger positions are as follows: 0.20H + 0.40H, 0.40H + 0.60H, 0.60H + 0.80H, and 0.80H + 1.00H. where H is the building's overall height. The analysis has been done considering zone-III. The Results of Base shear and lateral displacement will be assessed in each K-style outrigger Belt Truss Building and continues shear wall Building with each other and for K-Style Outrigger Belt Truss System Building Time History of Three Earthquakes is assessed by graphs of Time Period and Story Displacement.

Ensuring airport security is of paramount importance to safeguard the lives of passengers and prevent acts of terrorism. In this context, developing advanced technology for early terrorist detection is crucial. This paper presents a novel approach to enhancing security measures at airport checkpoints by applying Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithms in face image recognition. Our system utilizes state-of-the-art artificial intelligence techniques to analyze facial features. Our research uses VGG architecture and pre-trained with face data as a CNN model. This model is used to extract face embedding features from the dataset. These embedding features are then compressed with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to obtain the meaningful feature as training data for the ANN algorithm. We trained our system using data from 500 identities data with 60 data for each identity. This training enables our system to recognize known terrorists and individuals on watchlists by comparing the facial features of individuals passing through security checkpoints with those in the database. The proposed CNN-ANN-based face recognition system not only enhances airport security but also significantly reduces the processing time for security checks. It can quickly identify potential threats, allowing security personnel to take appropriate actions in real time ensuring a rapid response to security concerns. We present the architecture, training methodology, and evaluation of the CNN-ANN model, achieving a high accuracy of 91.16% and precision of 91.36%. Through this research, we aim to increase airport security and strengthen efforts to combat terrorism, making air travel safer and more secure for all passengers.
Human vs machine learning in face recognition: a case study from the travel industry
Authors: Lionnie Regina , Hermanto Vidya 
Published: January 2025

This research was conducted to help answer whether a machine learning simulation can replace the human ability to recognize human faces, especially under challenges under travel industry requirements. The human ability to recognize faces was evaluated using a series of questions in a survey. The questions challenged the human respondents to recognize faces under similar looks, with hair and makeup disguises, only part of the facial area, and under dark lighting conditions. At the same time, a histogram of oriented gradient (HoG) combined with a support vector machine (SVM) was built for machine learning simulations. The machine learning was evaluated using two datasets, i.e., the Extended Yale B (EYB) Face dataset for challenge under dark lighting conditions and The Extended Makeup Face Dataset (EMFD) for challenge using face with makeup disguise. The results showed that machine learning simulation of the face recognition system yielded accuracy as high as 95.4% under dark lighting conditions and 70.8% under facial makeup disguise. On the contrary, only 48% of respondents accurately recognized human faces in dark lighting. The number was increased to 94-96% when the face images were adjusted first with the contrast adjustment method. However, only 36-37% of respondents accurately recognized human faces under face makeup disguise.

The PROLANIS is a program conducted by Ngemplak 1 Primary Health Care that gives general clinical examination and activity for patients with diabetes and hypertension. The participants of the PROLANIS program are elderly people with age 50 years old. The nutrition knowledge of PROLANIS members was low, which led them to often ask about good food to maintain blood glucose and blood pressure remained normal. However, the activities to increase knowledge about diet are rarely carried out due to limited human resources at Ngemplak 1 Primary Health Care. Therefore, the counselling method using pocket books about food choices to maintain normal blood glucose levels and blood pressure is carried out to increase knowledge and is expected to improve the quality of life of PROLANIS members. At the end of the session, participants were given a questionnaire to select recommended and restricted foods to manage blood glucose and blood pressure. The result showed that more than 50% of the participants answered the question correctly. This indicated that more than 50% of the participants had understood the counselling materials.

Non-developing pregnancy is one of the most important problems in the practice of an obstetrician-gynecologist. Transthyretin is a transplacental transport protein of T3, T4 and is expressed in cyto- and syncytiotrophoblast cells. Transthyretin may be a promising prognostic marker for non-developing pregnancy.Aim. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognostic capabilities of the serological marker – transthyretin in patients with missed abortion.Materials and Methods. A prospective cohort study was performed, which included 155 women aged 18-45 years, 155 of them with an undeveloped pregnancy and 47 with a progressive gestation period of 6-12 weeks. All participants were divided into 3 classification groups according to the gestation period. For the examination of the patients, clinical and statistical (questioning of the examined women, analysis of medical records), laboratory (clinical blood analysis, biochemical blood analysis, including thyroid-stimulating and thyroid-stimulating hormones), instrumental research methods (ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs) were used. The concentration of transthyretin in the patients of the studied groups was determined by proteomic analysis of blood serum using liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS)..Results. Hypothyroidism was diagnosed in 19.3 % of all cases of missed abortion. According to the results of proteomic analysis, the lowest concentration of transthyretin was revealed in missed abortion at 11−12 weeks (p < 0.001).Conclusion. А significantly reduced level of transthyretin in early pregnancy is a possible predictor of the threat of miscarriage.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To report ocular examination findings before and after total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy (TECALBO) and ventral bulla osteotomy (VBO) in cats and dogs.

METHODS
At The Ohio State University and MedVet Columbus, ophthalmic examinations were performed on client-owned animals for which a TECALBO or VBO was indicated. Examination findings and postoperative complications relating to ophthalmic and/or neuro-ophthalmic diseases were recorded prior to surgery (T0) and at 1 day (T1), 2 to 3 weeks (T14), and ± 2 months (T60) postoperatively.

RESULTS
28 dogs and 22 cats underwent 43 TECALBO and 20 VBO surgeries (63 ears). Reasons for surgery included otitis (52.4%), polyps (30.1%), and aural masses (17.5%). Facial nerve deficits were observed preoperatively in 5.7% of surgeries and postoperatively in 47.2% at T1 and 31.3% at T14. Horner syndrome was present preoperatively in 11.3% and postoperatively in 45.3% at T1 and 37.5% at T14. Keratoconjunctivitis sicca and corneal ulcers were noted, respectively, in 5.7% and 3.8% of cases at T0 and 5.7% and 17% at T1. Facial nerve deficits and Horner syndrome remained present in 29% (5 of 17) and 36% (5 of 14) at T60. One dog with preoperative facial nerve paralysis and Horner syndrome developed a descemetocele that required a conjunctival flap at T14. Overall, 64.2% of surgeries led to ocular and/or neuro-ophthalmic changes postoperatively.

CONCLUSIONS
Cats and dogs undergoing TECALBO and VBO procedures should have thorough ophthalmic examinations preoperatively and postoperatively, as ocular and neuro-ophthalmic abnormalities are common in these patients.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Ocular examinations are important in animals undergoing aural surgeries in order to reveal ocular abnormalities that could require follow-up care or lead to vision-threatening conditions.
