Due to its detrimental effects, notably on the well-being and biota of the ocean, microplastic contamination is becoming a bigger concern. Because of this, the issue of microplastics in the marine ecosystem is currently a major concern. The purpose of the study is to objectively evaluate the most recent data supporting the impact of microplastic contamination in seawater. When creating the standards for assessing the literature, P.I.C.O. was taken into account. For this inquiry, databases were selected and used throughout the data-collecting process. We checked PubMed, CINAHL, Google, Hinari, and the Cochrane Library. Boolean operators (AND, OR) and keywords were employed in the search to avoid oversaturating the data. Keywords used as per MeSH: Microplastic, plastics, seawater, ocean, pollution, microplastic exposure. The last five years (Since 2017) worth of studies were incorporated. Boolean search for relevant terms used. This limited my query to 188 records through various database searches. Several things were removed because they were unrelated to the study’s subject. Due to its detrimental impact on marine biota, the issue of microplastic contamination in the marine ecosystem is a current concern. Microplastics, which serve as a vector, become stuck with harmful pollutants. It is necessary to implement conservation management strategies and assistance for different educational programs to protect the environment from these hazardous microplastics. Humans are exposed to plastic waste when eating fish tainted with plastic. As a result, there are various outbreaks of chronic diseases, and people suffer the effects. The public’s education on the harmful effects of microplastics is a crucial need in this field. As a result, many inventions would be promoted to decrease the use and consumption of plastic and its products.

In this technologically evolving era, important human values such as freedom and social responsibility are frequently overlooked in software systems, which can have significant negative social consequences as can be seen by recent examples involving Facebook or Delta Airlines. Therefore, it is important to help software developers incorporate human values considerations throughout the software development process. In this paper, we focus on domain modelling with class diagrams, an important technique for requirements engineering and early design activities. We propose a domain-specific language called HVT (Human Value Trigger) that enables the collection of human value issues including how to mitigate them. Practitioners may utilize this language to contribute more such examples to grow a catalogue of these past experiences over time. As a motivating example, we analyze the domain model of WhatsApp through the lens of Schwartz's taxonomy of human values to compile a list of issues concerning human values (i.e., model elements that may affect various human values). Furthermore as proof-of-concept, a prototype implementation addresses the need for human values to be integrated in domain models with the help of these collected past experiences by providing suggestions based on the model element type, name, and semantics based on synonyms. An analysis of eight synonym services is performed to find the optimal synonym service or combination of synonym services to use with the implementation.

The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate a machine learning model for identifying emphysema in chest X-ray images using the NIH chest X-ray dataset at early stage. Emphysema being one of the world’s deadliest disease according to WHO has no cure and can only be prevented or detected. It’s symptoms being the same as the regular cough-cold makes it difficult to be identified and patients reach the last stage from where coming back is not possible. It is important that it gets detected at the earliest stage of its happening i.e Cardiomegaly. Chest x-rays are widely used to detect emphysema, and machine learning models have shown promising results in improving the accuracy and efficacy of this approach. Using Binary classification for ‘Cardiomegaly’ and ‘Effusion’ to predict early stages of emphysema detection by filtering the X-ray data set for these two classes namely ‘Cardiomegaly’ and ‘Effusion’. A part of the dataset was utilized for training the model, while a different test set was used for its assessment.The study’s findings showed that the binary classification using the SVM model achieved an accuracy of 79.95% on the test set, demonstrating its ability to effectively classify the two classes.

Objective Chronic pain is one of the most detrimental symptoms exhibited by cancer patients, being an indication for opioid therapy in up to half of the patients’ receiving chemotherapy and in 90% of advanced cases. Various successful non-pharmacological integrative therapy options have been explored and implemented to improve the quality of life in these patients. This review aims to highlight the mechanisms implicated; assessment tools used for cancer pain and summarize current evidence on non-pharmacological approaches in the treatment of chronic cancer pain. Data sources A review of the literature was conducted using a combination of MeSH keywords including “Chronic cancer pain,” “Assessment,” “Non-pharmacological management,” and “Integrative therapy.” Data summary Data on the approach and assessment of chronic cancer pain as well as non-pharmacological integrative options have been displayed with the help of figures and tables. Of note, non-pharmacological integrative management was divided into three subcategories; physical therapy (involving exercise, acupuncture, massage, and transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation), psychosocial therapy (e.g. mindful practices, supportive therapy), and herbal supplementation. Conclusions The use of non-pharmacological integrative therapy in the management of chronic cancer pain has been grossly underestimated and must be considered before or as an adjuvant of other treatment regimens to ensure appropriate care.

With global increase in temperature, terminal heat stress (THS) has emerged as a major challenge in food crops. Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern and Coss), C3 plant, grows well at 15-20°C. Heat stress at seedling as well as at flowering stage leads to enhanced vegetative growth and flower abortion leading to loss in seed yield. Late sowing after cotton and rice harvest expose the crop to high temperature stress during reproductive stage of development. A fixed diversity stock of 486 Indian mustard lines were evaluated under delayed planting conditions to expose the crop to THS for two consecutive years. Selection indices were computed using four different combinations of traits via Kang_SAS Path computer program along with expected genetic advance (GA) at 5% selection intensity. Set1, comprised of five traits viz., plant height (PH), number of secondary branches (NSB), number of siliquae on main shoot (NSMS), seed yield (SY) and 1000-seed weight (TSW) were recorded the highest GA (8.612) in comparison to other trait combinations tested in present study. Other important finding was slight difference in GA of set I (8.612; SY included) and set II (8.599; SY excluded) with efficiency of selection index 131% and 130%, respectively. This recommended that in initial breeding generations (F2/F3), a breeder may base his selection on four yield related traits (PH, NSB, NSMS and TSW) only without significant loss in genetic gains. This will save resources and time of breeders to compute seed yield. This is the first report on computation of selection index for efficient simultaneous selection under THS in Indian mustard.

Introduction: Puerperal sepsis is an infective condition in the mother following childbirth. It is the third most common cause of maternal death worldwide as a result of childbirth after hemorrhage and abortion. According to the World Health Organization estimates, puerperal sepsis accounts for 15% of the 500,000 maternal deaths annually. In low- and middle-income countries, puerperal infections are the sixth leading cause of disease burden in women during their reproductive years. Puerperal sepsis can cause long-term health problems such as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility in females. Objective: The main objective of the study was to determine the effect of demonstration on practices of Auxillary Nurse Midwives (ANMs) regarding identification and management of mothers for puerperal infection during postnatal period. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental design was adopted to implement live demonstration on 60 ANMs. The samples were selected by convenience sampling technique. A checklist was used to assess the practices of ANM identification and management of high-risk mothers for secondary postpartum hemorrhage during postnatal period. Results: The average pretest knowledge mean in the experimental group was 68.7, which increased to 134.1 in posttest. T-value for this test was 80 with 103 degrees of freedom. Corresponding P value was small (<0.05); null hypothesis is rejected. It is evident that the live demonstration is significantly effective in improving the knowledge of ANMs regarding identification and management of mothers for puerperal infection during postnatal period.

Background: An estimated 289,000 women die each year from complications in pregnancy or childbirth with over half of these deaths occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. Millennium Development Goal 5, to improve maternal health, includes a target to reduce the maternal mortality ratio by three quarters by 2017. The identification and initial management of high-risk mother during the postnatal period totally depend on the knowledge and practices of these ground-level workers; otherwise, they will remain unnotified and unreported. Objective: The main objective of the study was to determine the effect of demonstration on practices of auxiliary nurse midwives (ANMs) identification and management of high-risk mothers for secondary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) during the postnatal period. Materials and Methods: Quasi-experimental design was adopted to implement live demonstration on 40 ANMs. The sample was selected by convenience sampling technique. Checklist was used to assess the practices of ANM identification and management of high-risk mothers for secondary PPH during the postnatal period. Results: Average practices score in pretest was 73 which increased to 138.8 in posttest. T-value for this test was 36.7 with 13° of freedom. Corresponding P value was small (<0.05), null hypothesis is rejected. It is evident that the live demonstration is significantly effective in improving the practices of ANMs regarding the identification and management of high-risk mothers during the postnatal period for PPH in the experimental group. Conclusion: It is evident that the live demonstration is significantly effective in improving the practices of ANMs regarding the identification and management of high-risk mothers during the postnatal period for PPH in the experimental group.
