Efficacy of Arm Ergometer Exercise on Glycaemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus- An Interventional Study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Type-2 diabetes develops when the body’s natural metabolism is disrupted, which is marked by a decline in glucose tolerance over time. Diabetes mellitus is a dreadful condition specified by an increase in the concentration of glucose that influences the cardiovascular system, veins, arteries, vision, renal system, and ganglion over time. Arm ergometer is an upper body exercise apparatus that quantifies and standardises physical activity in terms of work output. Thus, it is well recognised as an essential component in the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Exercise has been demonstrated to aid glycaemic management in those at high risk of diabetes. The symptoms of peripheral artery disease, peripheral neuropathy, vision disturbances, renal disease, heart disease, cognitive impairment, and metabolic dysfunction are likely to worsen due to poor glycaemic control. Limited evidences on arm ergometer have shown its effectiveness on glycaemic control. Aim: To find the efficacy of arm ergometer exercise on glycaemic control in patients with T2DM. Materials and Methods: This interventional study will be conducted in the Diabetes Out Patient Department (OPD) of Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha from April 2022 to March 2023 after obtaining the ethical clearance. A total of 40 participants with T2DM will be recruited, and after baseline health parameter assessment like post-prandial blood glucose, Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and 6-minute walk test, the participant will perform arm ergometer exercise for 30 minutes for 5 days/week. All the parameters will be assessed again after 6 weeks. Frequency distribution will be calculated using Chi-square and pre and post data will be compared using student’s paired t-test. Expected outcome: Arm ergometer exercise will be effective on glycaemic control in T2DM individual.
Behavioral Interventions and Physical Activity in Older Adults: Gains and Gaps

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

There is strong evidence that older adults greatly benefit from regular physical activity. Yet, older age is consistently associated with lower levels of aerobic physical activity and strength training and higher levels of sedentary behavior, underscoring the need to better understand physical activity behavior in this population. Reviews of interventions to increase physical activity have overall yielded promising results. Interventions based on behavior theory appear to be more effective than non-theory-based interventions, yet strategies from these theories are underutilized in both research and practice. This paper discusses the importance of behavioral interventions, cites findings from the Active for Life initiative to illustrate several key concepts, and provides recommendations to address significant gaps in the literature, including the use of theory, mediation analyses, physical activity maintenance, diversity of participants, and dissemination and translational research.
PRECISION OF PRODUCTION CROWN MANUFACTURING USING 3D-PRINTING TECHNOLOGY. IMMEDIATE TEMPORARY RESTORATION AFTER DENTAL IMPLANTATION

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Subject. Currently, tooth loss prosthetics using implants are widely used. An important problem is the loss of bone tissue due to infections around the implant. Micro-gaps at the implant-abutment interface can contribute to infection with microorganisms.The aim of this study was to investigate the precision of connecting the implant-abutment components with simultaneous loading and temporary restoration. Methodology. The precision of the "implant – abutment – artificial crown" connection was studied on a clinical case with simultaneous removal of a tooth root, followed by implant placement and temporary restoration. Before installing the implant, specialized programs combined a three-dimensional CT model of the jaw with a 3D model of the dentition obtained as a result of scanning. To study precision, a duplicate plastic crown was made according to this virtual plan and fixed in a similar implant. The "implant-crown" model was fixed in plaster and a section was made up to the level of the "implant-abutment-artificial crown" connection, which was studied using electron microscopy at magnification of 50, 100 and 200 times. Results. Electron microscopy data showed that the junction of the internal surface of the implant with the plastic "abutment" had a gap width in the range of 54-77 microns. Conclusion. The exact fit of the restoration on the implant was confirmed by electron microscopy. In the presented example, due to the production of temporary restoration, it was possible to reduce the number of manipulations with the implant-abutment components. Modern milling and 3D printing technologies show high precision.
Short‐latency somatosensory evoked potentials to median nerve stimulation in patients with diffuse neurologic disease

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Short-latency somatosensory evoked potentials were found to be abnormal in 15 of 28 patients with diffuse neurologic disease of varying etiology and severity. These abnormalities often did not directly correlate with the presence or degree of clinical sensory impairment. They were similar to findings in patients with demyelinating and focal lesions of the nervous system. This suggests that the interpretation of these potentials can be done only in the context of the patient's clinical assessment.
Improving management as a way to increase labour productivity

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The article gives an overview, performs analysis and classification of successful managerial practices applied at Russian industrial enterprises in the framework of the national project “Labour productivity and employment support”. The paper emphasizes the main factors of labour productivity growth as follows: investment policy, growth of human capital, and efficient use of managerial capital of enterprise. In order to determine the need of enterprises to increase labour productivity, the author proposes four universal criteria that signal the existing inefficiency even before the loss of competitiveness: 1) the dynamics of labour productivity in the company is not positive during a given period; 2) the company is behind competitors by labour productivity indicator; 3) the company is behind competitors by labour productivity growth rates indicator for a certain period; 4) unit production costs rise. These criteria allow you to take into account the situation both within the enterprise and in comparison with other enterprises. Each criteria can be considered separately or in combination with the others, applied to enterprises of different industries, specialization, and scale. Criteria indicate the direction of development in which the company is experiencing difficulties at the moment, or may experience them in the future.
Sign Conventions and Equations of Motion Derivations

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Sign conventions and coordinate systems play important roles in wave vibration analysis and in the derivation of governing equations of motion for bending, longitudinal, and torsional vibrations. For an in depth understanding of sign conventions, which are often a source of error for engineering analysis, the governing equations of motion are derived using the Newtonian approach following various sign conventions. The bending equations of motion in the Euler–Bernoulli (or thin beam) theory are derived based on the following three assumptions. First, the neutral axis does not experience any change in length. Second, all cross sections remain planar and perpendicular to the neutral axis. Third, deformation at the cross section within its own plane is negligibly small. The Timoshenko bending vibration theory is applied in the derivation of the governing equations of motion of a beam in bending vibration.
Reuse: The understudied circular economy strategy

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This report addresses blind spots in current research about the understudied circular phenomenon of reuse and the variety of formal (i.e. included in our economy through regulated economic units and protected workers) and informal (i.e. part of an informal economy in which transactions do not get registered) channels through which it may occur. It is part of the research line on employment and actor analysis for the circular economy of the Flemish Circular Economy Policy Research Centre. The most important questions addressed in this report are which amount of reuse is currently realised in Flanders, which environmental, social and economic impact reuse has, which barriers and opportunities for reuse exist now and in the future and which actors are involved in reuse in Flanders. Based on these insights, we provide policy recommendations to increase reuse in Flanders. This report is based on existing literature, and available data, interviews and communication with actors in the field, and a survey study that was conducted in the fall of 2019. Based on the results of the survey, we map reuse in Flanders and we develop a new indicator for measuring reuse.
Comparative Study between Ultrasound Guided Quadratus Lumborum Block versus Ultrasound Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for Postoperative Pain Relief in Patients Undergoing Unilateral Inguinal Surgeries

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: An effective pain therapy to block or modify the physiologic responses to stress has become an essential component of anesthesia for adequate postoperative pain relief.Objectives: Assessment of the postoperative analgesic efficacy of ultrasound guided quadratus lumborum block compared with transversus abdominis plane block in unilateral inguinal surgeries by measuring total amount of analgesic consumption over 24 hours.Patients and Methods: After approval of scientific and ethical committees in Al-Azhar University Hospitals, ninety patients were included in the study, and were divided into three equal groups: quadratus lumborum block (QLB) group, transversus abdominis plane block (TAP) group and control group.The following data were carried out: vital signs, visual analogue scale, time of first analgesia required by the patient, total amount of analgesia consumption and patient satisfaction score. Results:The QLB was the most effective technique in providing analgesia after unilateral inguinal surgeries without associated hemodynamic instability in comparison to TAP block and intravenous systemic analgesia.TAP block had the ability to provide an intermediate option between intravenous systemic analgesia and QLB when QLB could not be performed. Conclusion:Ultrasound guided quadratus lumborum and transversus abdominis plane blocks provide effective modality for control of postoperative pain associated with unilateral inguinal surgeries with superiority of quadratus lumborum block to transversus abdominis plane block for control of postoperative pain.However, TAP block still technically easier than QL block.
Effective Skin Cancer Diagnosis Through Federated Learning and Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Skin cancer is a prevalent type of cancer that affects millions of people globally. However, detecting it can be a challenging task, even for specialized dermatologists. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment, and deep learning techniques, particularly deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs), have shown tremendous potential in this area. However, achieving high accuracy results requires large volumes of data for training these DCNNs. Since medical organizations and institutions, individually, do not usually have such amounts of information available, and due to the current regulations regarding intellectual property and privacy of medical patient data, it is difficult to share data in a direct way. The primary objective of this work is to overcome this issue through a federated learning approach. We created a privacy-preserving and accurate skin cancer classification system that can assist dermatologists and specialists in making informed patient care decisions. The federated learning DCNNs architecture uses a combination of convolutional and pooling layers to extract relevant features from skin lesion images. It also includes a fully connected layer for classification. To evaluate the proposed architecture, we tested it on three datasets of varying complexity and size. The results demonstrate the applicability of the proposed solution and its efficiency for skin cancer classification.
Reconciling Leibnizian Monadology and Kantian Criticism

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper (written for the ‘300 Year's of Leibniz's Monadology' conference) explores systematic parallels between the criticisms of Kantian cognitive dualism provided by Salomon Maimon within his 'Essay on Transcendental Philosophy' of 1790 and F.W.J. Schelling within his 'General Overview of the Most Recent Philosophical Literature' of 1797. It discusses how both Maimon and Schelling suggest that the difficulties with Kant's cognitive dualism are so severe that they can only be resolved by recourse to a Leibnizian position, in which sensibility and understanding, and matter and form, arise from one and the same cognitive source. It thus shows how Maimon and Schelling – within 1790 and 1797, respectively – sketch systems of transcendental philosophy explicitly modelled on the Leibnizian philosophy, which both of them interpret as claiming that God is immanently contained within the human soul.
Cultural Appropriateness of the Family Assessment Device (FAD) in the Case of Ethnic Armenian Adolescents in Lebanon

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Background: The purpose of this study is to report on the cultural appropriateness of the 60-item Armenian version of the Family Assessment Device (FAD) among ethnic Armenian adolescents in the ethnically and religiously pluralist Lebanon. Method: A total of 558 Armenian adolescents in Grades 10, 11 and 12 completed the Armenian FAD scale and the Self-Family Closeness (SFC) scale in a randomized order. The internal consistencies and intercorrelations of the Armenian FAD domains were examined, as were their correlations with the SFC ratings. Results: The Armenian FAD and its General Functioning subscale showed excellent internal consistencies (α = 0.89 and α = 0.80, respectively), whereas the reliabilities were satisfactory for the family domains of Communication and Role functioning but less than satisfactory for the Affective Responsiveness , Problem Solving, Affective Involvement and Behaviour Control domains. The Armenian FAD scale and its subscales correlated with each other and with SFC ratings ( r = —0.55 for Armenian FAD scale; r = —0.57 for General Functioning), and showed sensitivity to gender differences, females reporting better family functioning than males. Conclusions: Overall, the findings support the cultural appropriateness of the 12-item Armenian FAD General Functioning subscale and its advantage over the 60-item scale. The findings also suggest the need to rethink the items of the four Armenian FAD domains with low internal consistencies for their increased cultural relevance in the case of Armenian adolescents in Lebanon.
Indoor positioning application development on an Android smart-phone

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Location-aware services have become popular with the development of modern communication technology. The increased variety of commercial applications has established the demand for indoor localization services. Several indoor localization systems have been developed that rely on infrared, ultra sound or ultra wide band technologies inside a building. Although these technologies deliver high positioning accuracy, they require the deployment of expensive hardware. Today, most indoor positioning systems rely on wireless local area networks (WLAN) owing to the widely available existing infrastructure, i.e., WLAN Access Points (AP), and coverage inside buildings. Moreover, commercial mobile devices can be used without any hardware modifications as they are usually equipped for wireless connectivity. Many WLAN based indoor positioning systems have been developed using measurement techniques like angle of arrival, angle difference of arrival, time of arrival and time difference of arrival. However, these techniques are suitable for systems with direct line-of-sight and have problems or require complex computation in indoor environments due to noise, interference, and multipath. Hence, the fingerprinting technique has gained attention due to its simplicity as compared to other techniques. In this project a fingerprinting based indoor positioning system using existing infrastructure is developed. The system attempts to address the drawbacks of current fingerprinting based positioning systems. It enables user privacy with low communication overhead by allowing the user‘s mobile device to determine its own position. It also enables efficient update of the fingerprint database through ‘Crowd-Sourcing’. In addition, it allows users to create location based applications specifying conditions under which specific actions can be triggered. The developed system however has highly inaccurate position estimates. This is because the system faces several challenges like severe fluctuation in the strength of Wi-Fi signals and the lack of standardization of the devices carried by the consumers of location services. Further optimizations like hyperbolic location fingerprinting or dead reckoning can be added to the system to overcome these challenges and increase accuracy to a suitable level.
Of Transgression, Purification and Indigenous Scholarship

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This essay discusses J. Kehaulani Kauanui's Hawaiian Blood: Colonialism and the Politics of Sovereignty and Indigeneity. The book is a history of the legal definition of a ‘native Hawaiian’, which, for government purposes, is set at one-half blood quantum, more commonly expressed as ‘50 per cent’. This definition originated from the US Government's Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1921, which set aside land to be distributed to native Hawaiians. The book argues against the ‘blood quantum model’ of Indigeneity in favour of a ‘Hawaiian genealogical model’. Kauanui argues that the latter model, where anyone with a known Hawaiian ancestor is considered to be Kanaka Maoli (the contemporary term for ‘native Hawaiian’), should be supported because it corresponds with traditional Hawaiian practices. The present review essay critiques methodological and political aspects of the book that act to naturalise and dehistoricise Kanaka Maoli as a political formation. In the process, a distinct boundary is drawn between the categories of blood/biology/Western/exclusive and geneaology/tradition/Hawaiian/inclusive. This binary is the result of what Latour calls a process of ‘purification’ and is an obstacle to understanding the messy reality of Hawaiian life. The challenge of transcending purification is one that must be faced by Critical Indigenous Studies, an emerging area of scholarship of which Kauanui's book is an important work.

Monte Carlo code Serpent calculation of the parameters of the stationary nuclear fission wave

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

n this work, propagation of the stationary nuclear fission wave was simulated for series of fixed power values using Monte Carlo code Serpent. The wave moved in the axial direction in 5 m long cylindrical core of fast reactor with pure 238U raw fuel. Stationary wave mode arises some period later after the wave ignition and lasts sufficiently long to determine kef with high enough accuracy. The velocity characteristic of the reactor was determined as the dependence of the wave velocity on the neutron multiplication factor. As we have recently shown within a one-group diffusion description, the velocity characteristic is two-valued due to the effect of concentration mechanisms, while thermal feedback affects it only quantitatively. The shape and parameters of the velocity characteristic critically affect feasibility of the reactor design since stationary wave solutions of the lower branch are unstable and do not correspond to any real waves in self-regulated reactor, like CANDLE. In this work calculations were performed without taking into account thermal feedback. They confirm that theoretical dependence correctly describes the shape of the velocity characteristic calculated using the results of the Serpent modeling.
