Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous metabolic disorder characterized by the presence of hyperglycemia due to impairment of insulin secretion, defective insulin action, or both. Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes is associated with relatively specific long-term microvascular complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, and nerves, as well as an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) including acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) a history of myocardial infarction (MI), stable or unstable angina, coronary or other arterial revascularization, stroke, transient ischemic attack or peripheral arterial disease presumed to be of atherosclerotic origin is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality for individuals with diabetes and is the largest contributor to the direct and indirect costs of diabetes. Common conditions coexisting with type 2 diabetes (e.g., hypertension and dyslipidemia) are clear risk factors for ASCVD.
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Machine Learning (ML) have evolved a long way in the modern technological era. They are used in analysis and prediction of various segments of normal life. They have a greater advantage when it comes to understanding a process, sometimes even better than a human brain. The Virus that is generated as COVID-19 is mainly caused when a person coughs, sneeze or exhales and it is transmitted as a small particle to other bodies and form these viruses. One of the major tricks for stopping the spread of this covid-19 is social distancing and rapid testing. This rapid test will take 2-3 days of time to get the result of covid-19. This may trouble a large amount of people in terms of money and time. Therefore, with the advantage of CNN, devised a method to increase the efficiency of the testing process. X-rays and CT scans show considerable advantage in detecting COVID-19 in a person. COVID-19 affects the lungs primarily which could be caught in X-rays as a white overlay. Constructed a model that could identify whether the submitted X-ray is of a normal person or of a COVID-19 positive person.
Imprisonment is not incapacitation is an inspirational autobiography of the author¿s life from childhood to prison and post-prison.The author had a humble childhood upbringing in a rural pleasant family in Uganda. He attended church schools for primary and secondary education before dropping out in 1998 to join the police force when his parents could no longer afford fees. Unfortunately, he did not serve for long in the force, he was imprisoned in 2005. He was jailed in different prison facilities in the country, including the condemned section!During his time in prison, he accepted the fact he was a prisoner. However, he remained hopeful and held to the truth that his mind was not imprisoned. He deeply reflected on his life, and accepted rehabilitation for transformation. He utilized the opportunity of the education programs in prison. He resumed high school, studied, and attained a bachelor¿s degree in law, among other awards. He repented of his sins and reconciled with his accusers. He continued to encourage and support his family. By the time of his release in 2019, his wife and children, members of his extended family, and the entire village waited and received him as a hero!
This is an excellent academic book. This was a study on prisoners of Bangladesh. Since people are imprisoned for various crimes, they are almost cut off from the external world. Therefore, the researcher conducted the study with the intention of determining the mental characteristics and level of depression of the prisoners. The study controlled for sociodemographic factors as well as variables such as life style and drug consumption, prison-related factors, history of physical illness, and other associated variables. Objectives of this research were determining the life style patterns of the prisoners; assessing the depression level; examining relationship between socio-demographic characteristics, life style pattern, prisons related events and depression of the prisoners. In this study depression was assessed by using Beck Depression Inventory. Based on Beck Depression Inventory, depressions were leveled into five categories. Such as- Mild mood disturbance, Borderline clinical depression, Moderate depression, Severe depression and Extreme depression. I think this book will be of great interest to general readers and researchers.

At the present time, due to the intensification of production, the increased use of electricity in various areas and the use of various electrical appliances, further development of the electric power industry is necessary.There is a constant growth of generators' unit capacity and the total growth of power plants' capacity, the voltage and length of power transmission lines are increasing, and electrical equipment is becoming more complex. All this puts forward new parameters and requirements for efficiency and reliability of the system elements. These tasks are solved at the stage of designing electric power facilities. Thus, it is necessary for a future specialist to get skills in designing such objects. One of the important elements of such design is the calculation of short-circuit currents in different modes.
To talk about literature is always something complex, for its very concept is still something instigating for Literature Theory scholars. The complexity becomes even greater when we talk about Literature as a curricular component or of its general use in our daily school life. The literary text is artistic and, thus, requires certain care in its treatment, allowing several interpretations. The use of literature in the classroom is controversial because it can remove its playful character, making a text that could be intended for reading pleasure become authoritarian. In Elementary School, literature is one of the resources of the Portuguese Language, in which relaxation can be provided through reading moments. In High School, Literature is one of the curricular components, having its status and readings called compulsory. Literature can awaken pleasure and the demand for reading, but this does not mean that no demands are necessary, as happens in other components; there is a need for a methodology that exchanges authoritarianism for emancipation.
Na indústria da saúde, a grande análise de dados é extremamente importante, evidentemente porque a própria indústria alberga um vasto mar de conjuntos de dados. A análise é utilizada para examinar estes conjuntos de dados e descobrir informações e tendências ocultas, a fim de extrair conhecimentos e antecipar resultados. As actuais abordagens existentes carecem de uma categorização considerável e precisão de previsão, uma vez que a obtenção de dados clínicos e de cuidados de saúde estruturados é morosa e a previsão precisa de doenças utilizando relatórios em tempo real é uma tarefa difícil e computacionalmente intensiva. Por conseguinte, a compreensão dos motivos por detrás das abordagens de aprendizagem automática nos cuidados de saúde é essencial, uma vez que a precisão e exactidão são frequentemente críticas nos problemas dos cuidados de saúde. O objectivo é construir um modelo generalizado de previsão da aprendizagem mecânica clínica utilizando algoritmos de classificação supervisionados, a fim de prever várias doenças de saúde comuns mas graves através de um resultado binário.
Phytotherapy is a Latin term ¿Phytö- which means plants and ¿therapy¿ meaning treatment or cure. It is defined as the therapy which involves the use of extracts of natural origin as medicines or health promoting agents. According to the World Health Organisation, 80% of the world¿s population depends upon the Traditional medicine for their primary healthcare needs as these plant extracts were easily available, affordable and culturally appropriate. The economic benefits could also be achieved through the development of indigenous medicines and the use of herbal medicines to treat various diseases. 25% of the medical drugs were based on herbs and their derivatives in developed countries. Numerous traditional medicinal plants have been evaluated for their potential application in the prevention or treatment of oral diseases. A number of studies have investigated the activity of plant extracts and products against specific oral pathogens, while others have focused on the ability of the products to inhibit the formation of dental bio films by reducing the adhesion of microbial pathogens to the tooth surface, which is a primary event in the formation of dental plaque.
This monograph is devoted to one of the actual directions in modern silicate production - autoclave technologies of creation and processing of silicate materials. One of the effective ways to solve this issue is the development of autoclave binder technology, which allows producing products based on lime-silica binders in a few hours without the use of cumbersome firing process. The revealed regularities "composition-structure-property" during autoclaving of lime-silica binders containing the mentioned additives make a certain contribution into development of chemistry and technology of autoclave curing materials.
For any nation, education and research is an important factor in development of a country and society. Education is necessary for everyone for his/her social, mental and overall development. In this process also our governments are operating many campaigns for better education to every child of the nation. So in any education institute, teachers are the main functioning body and results of students are affected by the performance of teachers. These days it is major problem to select the best teacher for any institute. Today, in this century of digital and competitive world, apart from good academic record and experience, teachers should also be resourceful and versatile to students, so ranking and selection of teachers on the basis of qualitative data is always contradicted and difficult. The objective of this research is to apply Fuzzy Analytical hierarchical process and its various methods to determine the important criteria or parameter for teacher¿s ranking and then give ranking to teachers using various methods. The real numerical finding results have also been demonstrated.

This book is the culmination of the author's experience over his many years of involvement in collaborative eTwinning twinning programs and his work as an external collaborator of the Greek Ministry of Education in promoting these actions through his participation in the volunteer corps of ambassadors. First of all, the basic characteristics of the eTwinning action and its supporting tools will be analyzed, progressively deepening the way in which this innovative educational process is implemented in the teaching practice, the levels of change that the implementation of the innovative action will entail, as well as the impact of this change on school life as a whole. The introduction of innovative action in schools will follow Fullan's model.
This book is based on qualitative research that was conducted by the Author during his Master of Philosophy Degree in 2022 at the University of Johannesburg. The author analysed four critical success factors between a category A and a Category B municipality with the aim of establishing the reasons why some municipalities are performing better than others in terms of meeting their financial and non-financial targets, which ultimately has an impact on the provision of sustainable basic services to their communities.In addition, the author then used the identified gaps and applicable government legislative prescripts, to develop a Real-Time Integrated Collaborative Model (RTICM) framework, that is anticipated to enhance collaboration amongst spheres of government if it is adopted as a standard operating tool.
The study was envisaged to investigate the polymorphism, expression pattern and association of Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP 70) polymorphs with thermotolerance traits on fifty Murrah buffaloes using advanced molecular technique. SSCP banding pattern of 503bp fragment of HSP 70 gene revealed three genotypes AA, AB, BB comprised of A and B alleles in studied Murrah buffalo population. The respective genotype frequencies and allelic frequencies were estimated. RT-PCR studied of HSP 70 gene of Murrah buffaloes indicated that its expression was significantly higher (p¿0.01) in summer season while it was nearly halved in winter season as compared to spring season. Least square analysis of data showed that AB genotype had significantly lowest (p¿0.05) respiration and pulse rate compared to AA and BB genotype. Hence, rearing of Murrah buffalo with AB genotype is more preferable than AA and BB genotype for heat stress management.
The type of beet yields dark red beetroot, which is a nutritious and spherical root which is consumed, as a vegetable. This vegetable is known by other names referred to as table¿s beet, field beet, red beet, dining beet, or golden beet in British English. The beetroot is the taproot portion of a beet plant, which is often recognized in the United States as beets. It belongs to the class of Beta vulgaris cultivars known as the B. Vulgaris subsp. vulgaris Conditiva Group, which are planted for their culinary taproots and leaf known as beet greens.
