Adequate nutrition in early life is proposed to shape a child's future health by launching the growth trajectory in the proper direction, which helps to avoid negative metabolic programming effects. Protein intake during infancy and early childhood is of great importance, as it plays a key role in infant metabolic programming and the future risk of obesity. Breastfeeding provides the best nutrition in early life, with many benefits tailored for the baby, including the appropriate quantity and quality of proteins. Considering the high prevalence of childhood, and subsequent adult, obesity in the region, a virtual Middle East expert consensus meeting was held to discuss an effective approach for managing childhood obesity. Leading pediatric experts from Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates participated in the meeting. The experts discussed, debated, and agreed on certain directions, including the importance of educating parents, endorsing breastfeeding, and ensuring optimum quantity and quality intake of proteins in early life. This expert consensus may serve as the starting point for healthcare professionals in the region who are interested in shaping a healthy future for the generations to come.

The Hadamard type inequalities for fractional integral operators of convex functions are studied at very large scale. This paper provides the Hadamard type inequalities for refined (α,h-m)-convex functions by utilizing Liouville-Caputo fractional (L-CF) derivatives. These inequalities give refinements of already existing (L-CF) inequalities of Hadamard type for many well known classes of functions provided the function h is bounded above by ${\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}$.

We aim in this article to establish variants of the Hadamard inequality for Caputo fractional derivatives. We present the Hadamard inequality for strongly (s, m)-convex functions which will provide refinements as well as generalizations of several such inequalities already exist in the literature. The error bounds of these inequalities are also given by applying some known identities. Moreover, various associated results are deduced.

우리나라 대부분의 도시 교차로는 신호 또는 '정지', '양보'표지로 운영되고 있다. 그러나 교통량이 비교적 적은 교차로를 roundabout으로 처리하는 것이 지체측면에서 볼 때 신호교차로보다 우수하다고 알려지고 있으며, 실제 외국에서는 이 통제방법을 많이 사용하고 있다. 우리나라에서 이 방법을 꺼리는 이유는 물론 교차로부지를 많이 차지하는 단점 때문이기도 하지만, 어떤 교통조건에서 roundabout을 사용해야 효율적인지에 대한 연구가 없기 때문이다. 본 논문의 목적은 roundabout에 대한 진입용량 모형의 개발과, 교통량에 관한 준거를 마련하는데 있다. Roundabout의 진입용량은 회전교통류율과 기하구조에 의해서 결정되며, 이 기하구조 요소는 중앙섬직경과 진입차로폭 그리고 회전차로폭이다. 분석에 필요한 현장자료는 4개의 roundabout에서 수집되었으며, 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 1)진입용량에 크게 영향을 주는 도로조건은 중앙섬직경과 회전차로폭이며, 2)본 연구에서 개발한 국내의 진입용량 모형에서 얻은 용량은 독일과 이스라엘 모형의 진입용량보다 더 높다. 그 이유는, 이들 모형에 내재하는 도로조건 파라메터가 서로 다름으로 단순비교가 어렵지만. 본 연구에서 선택된 roundabout의 외경(外涇)이 외국의 값보다 비교적 크며, 우리나라 운전자들의 수락간격이 다른 나라에 비해서 짧기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. Roundabout과 신호교차로의 효율성을 비교하기 위해 SIDRA를 이용하였으며. 시뮬레이션은 단지 1차로로 구성된 roundabout에 대해서만 수행되었다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 각 방향의 접근로에서의 교통량이 600pcph 이하일 때 신호교차로보다 roundabout의 효율성이 우수한 것으로 분석되었다.

Owing to the development of Internet of Things (IoT), the fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication is going to foresee a substantial increase of mobile traffic demand. Energy efficiency and spectral efficiency are the challenges in a 5G network. Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising technique to increase the system efficiency by adaptive power control (PC) in a 5G network. This paper proposes an efficient PC scheme based on evolutionary game theory (EGT) model for uplink power-domain NOMA system. The proposed PC scheme allows users to adaptively adjusts their transmit power level in order to improve their payoffs or throughput which results in an increase of the system efficiency. In order to separate the user signals, a successive interference cancellation (SIC) receiver installed at the base station (BS) site. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed EGT-based PC scheme outperforms the traditional game theory-based PC schemes and orthogonal multiple access (OMA) in terms of energy efficiency and spectral efficiency.

Cancer is a multifaceted and genomically complex disease and rapidly accumulating high impact research is deepening our understanding related to the mechanisms underlying cancer development, progression and resistance to therapeutics. Increasingly it is being realized that genetic/epigenetic mutations, inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, overexpression of oncogenes, deregulation of intracellular signaling cascades and loss of apoptosis are some of the extensively studied aspects. Confluence of information suggested that rapidly developing resistance to therapeutics is adding another layer of complexity and overwhelmingly increasing preclinical studies are identifying different natural agents with efficacy and minimal off-target effects. We partition this multi-component review into citrus fruits and their bioactive ingredients mediating rebalancing of pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins to induce apoptosis in resistant cancer cells. We also discuss how oncogenic protein networks are targeted in cancer cells and how these findings may be verified in preclinical studies.

In light of the decreasing crop production and shortage of food across the world, one of the crucial criteria of agriculture nowadays is selecting the right crop for the right piece of land at the right time. First problem is that How Farmers can predict the right crop for cultivation because famers have no knowledge about prediction of crop. Second problem is that which algorithm is best that provide the maximum accuracy for crop prediction. Therefore, in this research Author proposed a method that would help to select the most suitable crop(s) for a specific land based on the analysis of the affecting parameters (Temperature, Humidity, Soil Moisture) using machine learning. In this work, the author implemented Random Forest Classifier, Support Vector Machine, k-Nearest Neighbor, and Decision Tree for crop selection. The author trained these algorithms with the training dataset and later these algorithms were tested with the test dataset. The author compared the performances of all the tested methods to arrive at the best outcome. In this way best algorithm from the mention above is selected for crop prediction.

Current research intended to measure the spillovers of education and on-the-job training to enhance sustainable economic development. Consideration of research and development expenditures for on-the-job training expands the impact of education and, thus, may provide spillovers for Pakistan's economic growth. The primary focus of this research is to look at the combined impact of education and research and development spending as value-added variables for sustainable growth. The econometric study uses data from a variety of sources, including the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, the Pakistan Economic Survey, and world development indices. The secondary annual time series data from 1976 to 2019 are analyzed. To adequately estimate the empirical model, ARDL has been used while the presence of the unit root has been tested using the ADF test. The findings show that education, research, and development all contribute to all-inclusive, sustainable economic growth. Labor and capital, among other traditional components, continue to be the backbone of the development process. Still, the spillover effect is much enhanced with the expansion in education and the on-job training in the form of research and development expenditures. Consequently, the introduction of research and development in education will lead to a sustainable and inclusive economy.

Purpose: Augmentation cystoplasty (AC) is a surgical procedure used in adults and children with refractory bladder dysfunction, including a small bladder capacity and inadequate bladder compliance, and in whom conservative and medical treatment has failed. This study was aimed to determine the long-term outcomes of AC in children. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 42 patients (31 males; mean age, $14.2{\pm}6.2years$) who underwent AC for neurogenic and nonneurogenic bladder dysfunction, with a median $12.0{\pm}1.5years$ of follow-up. All patients underwent AC using the ileum with or without continent reconstruction. Pre-AC, concurrent, and post-AC procedures and complications were analyzed. Patients who underwent ureterocystoplasty, were lost to follow-up, or had less than 10 years of follow-up were excluded. The primary outcomes were the complication and continence rates, the post-AC linear rate of height and weight gain, and renal function. The Student t-test was used to evaluate between-group differences and the paired t-test was used to evaluate longitudinal changes in measured variables. Results: Renal function was stable or improved in 32 of 42 patients (76.2%), with a post-AC continence rate of 88.1%. Thirty patients (71.4%) required 72 procedures post-AC. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean percentile of height (P=0. 212) or weight (P=0.142) of patients in the pre- and post-AC periods. No cases of bladder perforation or malignancy were detected. Conclusions: We consider AC to be a safe and effective procedure that does not negatively affect future physical growth, while achieving a good rate of stable renal function. Patients need long-term follow-up to address long-term complications.
