    Abstract Researchers have focused their efforts on investigating the integration of crumb rubber as a substitute for conventional aggregates and cement in concrete. Nevertheless, the manufacture of crumb rubber concrete (CRC) has been linked to the release of noxious pollutants, hence presenting potential environmental hazards. Rather than developing novel CRC formulations, the primary objective of this work is to construct an extensive database by leveraging prior research efforts. The study places particular emphasis on two crucial concrete properties: compressive strength (f

    Abstract Abstract:

    Despite rigorous global containment and quarantine efforts, the incidence of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), also known as COVID-19, continues to surge, with more than 12 million laboratory-confirmed cases and over 500,000 deaths worldwide (as of 11 July 2020). Aside from the continued surge in cases and the imperatives of public health concern and saving lives, economic devastation is also mounting with a global depression now seeming inevitable. There is limited attention directed towards people who have recovered from the virus and whether this metric can be useful in guiding when the economy can be re-opened. In this paper, a simpler model is presented in order to guide various countries on the (possible) reopening of the economy (or re-opening in stages/phases) alongside risk categories and ratios. Factors that need to be considered when applying the model include the healthcare capacity in terms of the number of hospitals, beds and healthcare workers that are available to capacitate this virus. In addition, population size, physical distancing measures, socio-economic disparities, lockdown regulations in each country, and more importantly the amount and accuracy of testing conducted, is also imperative to consider. Decisions adopted by leaders around the world have the most difficult decision to make (yet), and have to weigh up on what really matters; health or wealth. It is suggested that this model be applied in a number of states/counties and countries in order to gauge the risk of their location being re-opened, by observing their total number of recoveries in proximity to total number of cases.

    Abstract Laparoscopic hysteropexy is a surgery of choice for woman with pelvic organ prolapse wishing to retain fertility. There are few cases of pregnancies after this surgery as standard practice recommends to fulfil their family project before undergoing laparoscopic prolapse surgery. Our operative technique involves the use of 2 polypropylene meshes, one placed anteriorly and one posteriorly, they are attached to the cervix and together through the cervix. There is no compression on the uterine arteries as we do not encircle the cervix and there is no concern on blood flow to the uterus. The patient had a gestational diabetes with an oversize baby in breech position. A caesarean section was planned due to the babies' position and weight. The patient delivered a healthy baby and 10 months after the surgery the patient did not have recurrence of pelvic organ prolapse.

    Abstract Livelihood diversification is an essential strategy for managing economic and environmental shocks and reducing rural poverty in developing countries. This article presents a comprehensive two-part literature review on livelihood capital and livelihood diversification strategies. Firstly, it identifies the role of livelihood capital in determining livelihood diversification strategies, and secondly, it assesses the role of livelihood diversification strategies in reducing rural poverty in developing countries. Evidence suggests that human, natural, and financial capitals are the primary determining assets of livelihood diversification strategies. However, the role of social and physical capital with livelihood diversification has not widely been studied. Education, farming experience, family size, land holding size, access to formal credit, access to market, and membership in village organizations were the major influencing factors in the adoption process of livelihood diversification strategies. The contribution of livelihood diversification in poverty reduction (SDG-1) was realized through improved food security and nutrition, increased income level, sustainability of crop production, and mitigating climatic vulnerabilities. This study suggests enhanced livelihood diversification through improved access to and availability of livelihood assets is vital in reducing rural poverty in developing countries.

    Abstract Sustainable livelihoods in less developed countries are threatened by human, natural, physical, social and financial factors. Pakistan is also facing severe negative impacts of these factors in the form of climate shocks, market imperfections and insufficient formal credit availability on rural livelihoods. This study explores rural Pakistani’s adaptation to these threats by diversifying income sources and explores the determining factors for adopting specific livelihood diversification strategies. The study is based on a quantitative survey of 295 households in three districts of rain-fed rural regions of Pakistan’s Punjab with differing annual rainfall. Results showed that households mitigated against threats to their livelihood by having a diversity of income sources (Simpson Diversity Index = 0.61). Moreover, fractional multinomial regression modelling revealed that greater education was associated with a more diversified livelihood strategy, where income was predominantly derived from off-farm and non-farm livelihood activities. On the other hand, households with older members, more livestock and larger farm size focused their livelihoods on their own farms, or primarily diversified into an off-farm strategy by working on other farms. These findings underscore the importance of improved access to education and infrastructure for livelihood diversification. A policy that focuses on reducing low literacy rates in rural Pakistan may also provide new avenues of livelihood diversifications with enhancement of rural literacy rate to mitigate the risks associated with livelihood strategies of smallholders.

    Abstract We introduce Instruction Document Visual Question Answering (iDocVQA) dataset and Large Language Document (LLaDoc) model, for training Language-Vision (LV) models for document analysis and predictions on document images, respectively. Usually, deep neural networks for the DocVQA task are trained on datasets lacking instructions. We show that using instruction-following datasets improves performance. We compare performance across document-related datasets using the recent state-of-the-art (SotA) Large Language and Vision Assistant (LLaVA)1.5 as the base model. We also evaluate the performance of the derived models for object hallucination using the Polling-based Object Probing Evaluation (POPE) dataset. The results show that instruction-tuning performance ranges from 11X to 32X of zero-shot performance and from 0.1% to 4.2% over non-instruction (traditional task) finetuning. Despite the gains, these still fall short of human performance (94.36%), implying there's much room for improvement.

    Abstract Novel Coronavirus with its highly transmittable characteristics is rapidly spreading, endangering millions of human lives and the global economy. To expel the chain of alteration and subversive expansion, early and effective diagnosis of infected patients is immensely important. Unfortunately, there is a lack of testing equipment in many countries as compared with the number of infected patients. It would be desirable to have a swift diagnosis with identification of COVID-19 from disease genes or from CT or X-Ray images. COVID-19 causes flus, cough, pneumonia, and lung infection in patients, wherein massive alveolar damage and progressive respiratory failure can lead to death. This paper proposes two different detection methods - the first is a Gene-based screening method to detect Corona diseases (Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, and Human coronavirus HKU1) and differentiate it from Pneumonia. This novel approach to healthcare utilizes disease genes to build functional semantic similarity among genes. Different machine learning algorithms - eXtreme Gradient Boosting, Naïve Bayes, Regularized Random Forest, Random Forest Rule-Based Model, Random Ferns, C5.0 and Multi-Layer Perceptron, are trained and tested on the semantic similarities to classify Corona and Pneumonia diseases. The best performing models are then ensembled, yielding an accuracy of nearly 93%. The second diagnosis technique proposed herein is an automated COVID-19 diagnostic method which uses chest X-ray images to classify Normal versus COVID-19 and Pneumonia versus COVID-19 images using the deep-CNN technique, achieving 99.87% and 99.48% test accuracy. Thus, this research can be an assistance for providing better treatment against COVID-19.
