A FIR filter is used in digital signal processing to eliminate undesirable components or noise from a signal. In order to efficiently eliminate noise from the received channel data bits, this work presents the VLSI architecture of a Multi-Standard Digital Up Converter (DUC) based FIR filter. In the accumulation unit's existing architecture, carry skip addition was utilized. Shift add architecture is used in this proposed architecture to achieve an efficient adaptation delay, area, and power implementation.

The architecture is designed using Carry look ahead adder, which is used in the accumulation unit. The results demonstrate that the proposed technique produces less area and power consumption than the existing DUC based RRC filter architecture. In this project, the suggested filter is implemented using the VERILOG programming language in Xilinx ise 14.7. In this project, the FIR filter's VERILOG coding is used, and simulation is used to view waveforms.

The increasing need for high performance and low power DSP is a result of the multimedia applications' rapid expansion. The RRC digital filter is the primary component of a DSP system that is most frequently employed.

Abstract
Rainfall or discharge data is obtained from the river basin authority by conducting hydrological analysis using the Nakayashu Synthetic Unit Hydrograph method to obtain the peak flood discharge and performing a dependable flow analysis (Q80%) using probability equations. On January 2, 2020 there was a flash flood that destroyed at least 1,410 houses, 30 bridges and hydraulic buildings located in the ciberang river flow among them is the PDAM row water intake structure. The need for hydrological studies to predict flood discharge as data needed in planning the stability of hydraulic building structures and determining the water surface elevation for intake operations. The results of the hydrological study of the Ciberang watershed obtained the design flood discharge values for specific return period of Q2 = 205,1 m3/s, Q5 = 340,5 m3/s, Q10 = 406,4 m3/s, Q25 = 475,6 m3/s, Q50 = 518,1 m3/s, Q100 = 549,6 m3/s. The estimated historical flash flood discharge that occurred in early 2020 in the ciberang river upstream of the Karian reservoir based on the testimony of residents as high as 8 meters is equivalent to the design discharge for Q25, which is 475.6 m³/s. The results of the dependable discharge (Q80%) calculations for the Ciberang watershed indicate that the minimum discharge occurs in September at 7.22 m³/s, while the maximum discharge occurs in February at 37.0 m³/s.

The Validity of Critical-Algebraic Model: A Case Study in Promoting Students’ Critical Thinking in Algebra Learning in Junior Secondary Mathematics
Authors: Liu Wei , Affas Huda 
Published: January 2025

This study aims to determine the validity of applying the critical-algebraic model in promoting students’ critical thinking skills in algebra learning for junior secondary mathematics education. This study used mixed-method research. The instruments used in this study were surveys, tests, and interviews. A total of 132 Year 7 students were interviewed; the quantitative data was collected through the survey, which provided information about how students defined themselves using critical skills in learning algebra. Nine mathematics teachers were interviewed to collect information about critical thinking skills, algebraic learning, and the challenges of learning algebra based on the quantities of data needed to design and write the pre-test and post-test. Assessment phases, including pre-test and post-test, were used to assess students’ levels of critical thinking skills before and after the implementation of the model. Two classes - one class (28 students) served as a control group, and another (28 students) served as an experimental group; both classes attended the pre-tests, and the experimental group was given a post-test after implementing the model. Mean and standard deviation were analysed via SPSS to prove the model's validity. This study used the Holistic Critical Thinking Scoring Rubric to assess critical thinking levels. The resulting data indicate that 36% of the students understand critical thinking skills in algebra. Through the application of the model, 25.76% of students improved their critical thinking skills, and the number of students whose critical thinking skills level is under satisfactory has decreased from 22% to 8.70%, which can be concluded that appropriate implementation of the model will provide effective teaching and learning. These findings have implications for developing students’ critical thinking skills via applying the model. It also states that teachers are essential in promoting students' critical thinking in algebra learning.
Front-line Treatment of Older Patients with Hodgkin Lymphoma
Authors: Davison Kelly 
Published: January 2025

The evolution of treatment for classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) represents a great success in oncology, with disease outcomes evolving from universally fatal to vastly curable. However, not all patients benefit equally from modern therapies, which include response‑adapted regimens and the addition of novel, targeted agents to the front-line setting. Although patients older than 60 years account for the later peak in cHL’s characteristic bimodal age distribution and represent approximately 20–25% of all patients with cHL, their outcomes remain inferior compared to younger patients. A retrospective study including 401 patients >60 years treated in British Columbia between 2000 and 2019 revealed modest progression‑free survival (PFS) and disease-specific survival rates of 50% and 63%, respectively, with a median follow-up of nine years. While these outcomes have improved relative to cohorts treated prior to 2000, they nevertheless fall short of those experienced by younger patients. Furthermore, the gap in outcomes between young and older patients progressively worsens with each increasing age decile, with patients >70 years having a particularly poor prognosis. This shortfall has been attributed in part to patient-specific factors such as comorbidities and frailty, which may limit treatment tolerance, but also to differing disease biology, with negative prognostic features including advanced stage disease, Epstein-Barr virus positivity, and mixed cellularity histology often present in those with older age. Adding to the challenges in treating older patients is the fact that this group is frequently underrepresented in clinical trials, or excluded altogether, making their optimal treatment ill-defined.
A Review of Pediatric to Adult Transition of Care in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Authors: Bollegala Natasha 
Published: January 2025

Canada is reported to have one of the highest rates of both incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Benchimol et al. conducted a population-based cohort study from 1999-2008 using health administrative data from Ontario, Canada, and reported that the prevalence of IBD in Canada in 2008 was 534.3 per 100,000 people (68,017 affected individuals among 12,738,350 Ontario residents). Between 1999 and 2008, the incidence of IBD increased annually in children under the age of 10 (9.7% per year, p<0.0001) and in those aged 10-19 (3.8% per year, p<0.0001).
Coward et al. published a similar population based health administrative data study using data from eight provinces in Canada. In this study the national incidence of IBD was estimated to be 29.9 per 100,000 (95% PI 28.3-31.5) in 2023.ll The incidence of IBD in pediatric patients was found to be increasing (average annual percentage change (AAPC) 1.27%; 95% CI 0.82-1.67). The prevalence of IBD was 843 per 100,000 (95% PI 716-735) in 2023 with forecasted increases (AAPC 2.43%;95% CI 2.32-2.54). In pediatric patients the prevalence in 2023 was 82 (95% PI 77-88) and the forecasted AAPC was 1.91 (1.46-2.31).
According to the 2023 Impact of IBD in Canada Report by Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, an estimated 322,600 Canadians are living with IBD, with 11,000 new diagnoses expected in 2023.
The global incidence and prevalence of IBD has been rising. In 2011, Benchimol et al. published a systematic review detailing international trends in IBD. The review demonstrated a 60% increase in Crohn’s disease (CD) and a 20% increase in ulcerative colitis (UC) across both developing and developed countries. Benchimol et al. also published the results of a health administrative data analysis evaluating children with a diagnosis of IBD between 1999-2010 across five Canadian provinces, which together account for 79.2% of the Canadian population. They reported that incidence of IBD in children aged five and under increased during the study period (annual percentage increase [APC] +7.19%; 95% CI, +2.82% to +11.56%). The prevalence of IBD also increased significantly during the study period (APC+4.56%; 95% CI, +3.71% to +5.42%).

Published: January 2025

The control of the technical condition of the lifting steel ropes is important for the safe operation and for the correct functioning of the machines in which they work. Most often, the stresses in the ropes depend on the tension force, the construction and diameter of the rope, the number of wires in the rope, etc. All these factors are important in the control and monitoring of a given lifting rope during operation, to adequately and timely assess the quality of the rope, its remaining operational resource, and from there to assess its working capacity.The research is aimed at evaluating the performance and reliability of a real working wire steel rope intended for the mining industry. The behaviour of a real working rope was followed for different periods of time until it was retired, and results were obtained for its real operational properties, in comparison with those before use.The breaking force and tensile strength of the rope wires, as well as their plasticity, flexibility and resistance to bending throughout the period of in-service monitoring, were determined.

Published: January 2025

Continuous tungsten trioxide (WO3) and porous titanium dioxide (TiO2) films on AISI304 type steel were prepared by electrochemical methods. The morphology and structure of the obtained films were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Oxygen evolution catalyst containing cobalt–phosphate compound was deposited photochemically onto the surface of semiconductor particles. The photoelectrochemical properties of the prepared electrodes were investigated in neutral 0.1 M phosphate buffer solutions. The voltammetric characteristics revealed that the presence of cobalt-based catalyst effectively changes the photoelectrocatalytic activity of WO3 and TiO2 particles. The influence of some synthesis parameters (type of cobalt(II) salt, photodeposition time) on the electrochemical properties of the prepared electrodes was evaluated experimentally.

Published: January 2025

The synthesis and characterization of 13 new 5-carboxyuracil derivatives bearing ester and amide groups is described. Five previously synthesised 5-carboxyuracil esters were prepared by a new procedure using carbodiimide as a coupling reagent. The prepared compounds were tested as inhibitors of DNA polymerases, particularly M. MuLV and HIV-1 reverse transcriptases. In addition, it is shown that the methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, cyclohexyl, cyclooctyl, and prop-2-ynyl esters of 5-carboxyuracil are substrates of thymidine phosphorylase, thus allowing enzymatic synthesis of novel modified nucleosides.
