This paper examines how digital technologies can bridge the critical gap between data availability and decision-making effectiveness in capital project execution. Despite the exponential growth in data generation and the widespread adoption of digital tools, capital projects frequently suffer from cost overruns and schedule delays. This paradox suggests that the primary value of digitalization lies not in data collection, but in the ability to translate raw data into timely, actionable insights that drive proactive management. Using a conceptual framework supported by industry observations and case studies, this research illustrates how digital technologies and its components bring impact to the Capital project performance. The findings reveal that successful digital transformation is less a technological challenge and more an organizational one, requiring robust data governance, cultural alignment, and clear decision accountability. The paper concludes with practical recommendations for implementing digital solutions that move project controls from retrospective reporting to forward-looking insight generation, ultimately improving project performance and reducing execution uncertainty.

Service failure detection in distributed microservice platforms remains difficult because fault symptoms often appear in services other than the one where the problem begins. Traditional monitoring methods usually examine metrics, logs, or traces separately, which limits their ability to identify partial degradation, fault propagation, and cascading disruption. This paper proposes a multi-source, dependency aware framework for service failure detection in distributed microservice platforms. The method integrates distributed traces, service level metrics, and structured log events into a unified service state representation and interprets these signals through a dynamic service dependency graph. A hybrid failure scoring model identifies degraded or failed services, while a root cause ranking stage estimates the most likely origin of the incident. The framework captures both local anomalies and propagated effects across connected services. Experimental analysis compares the proposed method with metrics only, trace only, and logs only baselines under latency inflation, timeout propagation, service crash, resource exhaustion, and silent degradation scenarios. Results show that the proposed approach achieves stronger detection accuracy, lower detection delay, and better root cause ranking performance, particularly in cascading failure cases where single source methods often misidentify affected services as the source of the incident. These findings indicate that observability fusion with dependency aware analysis provides a more reliable basis for service level diagnosis in cloud native microservice systems.

Industrial facilities frequently rely on large steel structures exposed to wind and seismic forces. Structural safety depends on accurate load estimation and appropriate design methods. This study examines modeling approaches used in steel industrial facilities, including manufacturing plants and energy systems. The analysis considers load combinations, frame stability, and connection behavior under combined loading conditions. Finite element simulation tools are applied to evaluate structural response, including displacement patterns, stress distribution, and potential failure zones. Wind loads are determined using geometric and exposure characteristics, while seismic effects are analyzed through response spectrum methods to represent dynamic behavior. The results show that detailed structural modeling leads to reduced displacement, improved load transfer, and more stable structural performance. The use of bracing systems and properly designed connections increases resistance to lateral and dynamic forces. The study also identifies critical areas where stress concentration and deformation may occur under different loading scenarios. These findings provide a structured approach for analyzing steel industrial structures under multiple hazards. The proposed framework supports consistent evaluation of structural performance and contributes to improved design practices for industrial facilities subjected to wind and seismic effects.

The liberation size of Muro iron ore was determined by obtaining iron ore samples from Toto Local Government Area, Nasarawa State. The collected samples were subjected to crushing and grinding to reduce their size. The elemental composition and mineralogical characteristics of the ground sample were then examined via SEM-EDS analysis. Particle size analysis of the homogenised iron ore sample was conducted, and the sieve fractions obtained were chemically analysed with the X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (XRF). The SEM-EDS analysis revealed that iron (Fe) and silicon (Si) were the most predominant elemental constituents with atomic percentages of 38.7% and 51.2%, respectively. The iron-bearing grains are most abundant at grain sizes less than 100µm. The mesh of grind (D80 value) of the iron ore was found to be 276 µm, the actual liberation size of the ore is -1180 + 850 µm, having the highest recovery of iron (Fe) at 44.85%. The 50% intersection, which indicates the economic liberation size of the ore is at -75 + 53 µm. Whenever Muro iron ore is ground in preparation for the concentration process, the economic liberation size of -75 + 53 µm should be adopted to prevent energy wastage through over-grinding and poor recovery due to under-grinding.

Following one of our research lines, we present here a new English translation of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. It is the 1932 edition published by Hammer Verlag of Theodor Fritsch. This text claims to present is a plan by Jewry to transform the structures and functions of its surroundings in order to achieve dominion over goyim. To understand how something resembling a coordination among the various Jewish groups throughout the world was possible, given the limited mechanisms of worldwide communication that existed until the end of the 19th century, we employed the concept of the pack/herd. Jewry history is analyzed in these terms, specially the moneylenders. The final evolution of the Jewish protective pack schema transcends mere individual protection to become the invisible architecture that determines what an entire society thinks, sees, and decides. The genocide in Gaza and the treacherous attacks against the Islamic Republic of Iran by the Israel–USA duo have generated an immense volume of visual expressions demonstrating that the official narrative has ceased to be credible and will never regain its credibility. This is another evident proof of the Jewish colonization of the USA. It is strongly suggested that all leaders must abide by the following rule: We come from the people; we stand and march with the people; the people are at the beginning and the end of our struggle and our work. Those who do not are mere shameless parasites and bloodsuckers.

Chrono-dentistry is a new area of study in dentistry that examines the relationship between circadian cycles and periodontal health. Circadian clocks are natural timekeeping mechanisms that synchronise daily cycles with physiological functions. Both the central nervous system and periodontal tissues, such as the gingiva, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and fibroblasts, express molecular clocks, which include genes like BMAL1(Brain and Muscle Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Nuclear Translocator (ARNT) like protein), PERs (Period genes), Crys (Cryptochrome genes), and DEC1/2 (Differentiated Embryo Chondrocyte 1 and 2). With rhythmic gene expression influencing bone resorption, vascularization, and inflammation, these peripheral clocks regulate crucial processes such as tissue remodelling, wound healing, immunological responses, and cellular proliferation. A person's susceptibility to periodontitis is increased when their circadian cycles are disrupted by shift work, sleep deprivation, or genetic changes. This results in increased tissue degradation, heightened inflammatory mediators (Tumor necrosis factor-α, Interleukin-1β), and decreased salivary antioxidant capacity. CLOCK gene (Circadian Locomotor output Cycles Kaput) downregulation, particularly of BMAL1, enhances pro-inflammatory pathways controlled by NF-κB (Nuclear Factor κB), thereby accelerating bone loss and influencing bone resorption, vascularization, and inflammation. The potential of chronobiology-guided periodontal therapy is highlighted by our growing understanding of the molecular pathways relating circadian rhythm and periodontal disease. Long-term oral health may be supported and treatment outcomes may be enhanced by coordinating therapeutic and preventive measures with the circadian cycle.

Background: The transmission rates of Poliomyelitis are nearing historic lows. 2026 will prove to be a defining year in public health history where the disease may either get eradicated or continue simmering as periodic outbreaks. The goal of achieving a ‘Polio-Free World’ appears near, thanks to decades of hard work, global collaboration, unprecedented funding and, certainly, the power of vaccines. Unfortunately, polio is proving to be a tenacious opponent. The challenges in polio eradication increase manifold, 2026 onwards, due to current geo-political conflicts and health funding cuts. Text: Poliomyelitis is an exclusive human disease caused by polio virus, belonging to the Picornaviridae family. The primary mode of transmission is through the faeco-oral route. Around 95% of cases are asymptomatic and about 1% cases present as aseptic meningitis. Paralytic poliomyelitis, which is seen in less than 1% of patients presents as excruciating episodes of pain in back and lower limbs and can present as Spinal polio, Bulbar polio or Bulbospinal polio which is a combination of bulbar and spinal paralysis and is most severe. The ratio of inapparent to paralytic infections could be as high as 1000 to 1 in children and 75 to 1 in adults, depending on the polio virus type and the social conditions. The microbiology of the virus has been studied in detail and the intricacies of its interaction with the human host are being decoded effectively. The innumerable milestones achieved till date have helped in keeping the morale to end polio, high. Nonetheless, many questions still persist and need to be answered. In the mid-20th century, the efforts to combat the polio epidemic, succeeded through introduction of vaccines. Over 3 billion children have been immunized against polio and 20 million people are walking today, who otherwise would have been paralyzed. Along with the goal of eradicating wild polio virus [WPV], circulating Vaccine-Derived Polio virus [cVDPV] outbreaks are proving to be formidable to control. In 2022, closely related strains of polio virus were detected in New York State County and London boroughs. This constituted the first encounter with polio virus in the United States and United Kingdom for a generation, people and public health officers alike! The potential of a possible resurgence of polio cases, like in the past, concerns health scientists. To end polio in the face of challenges, new tactics and novel innovative tools are being deployed. Will this be sufficient in the current ever-changing political scenario? Conclusion: The Polio Oversight Board [POB] of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative [GPEI] launched its eradication strategy in year 2022. The target was polio eradication up to 2026. After critical analysis, expert consultations and revisions in budget, the timeline has been extended to 2029. Political instability, humanitarian crisis and most importantly, global health funding cuts are threatening the progress made. Year 2026 will prove to be a crucial year in this fight to the finish. This article intends to summarize the microbiology and complex pathogenesis of poliomyelitis, epidemiology of the disease through various timelines, the major campaigns organized globally, their achievements, resurgence of poliomyelitis amidst geo-political conflicts and global health funding cuts. This article makes an attempt to understand the practical implications for health and social scientists as they struggle to learn from the past and search for useful heuristic in an attempt to save our children from disability and eradicate poliomyelitis.

Angular cheilitis is a prevalent, multifactorial inflammatory lesion at the oral commissures that occurs with notable frequency in patients undergoing prosthodontic rehabilitation. Reduced occlusal vertical dimension, ill-fitting dentures, xerostomia, and Candida overgrowth are the principal predisposing factors. Diagnosis relies on clinical assessment supported by microbiological sampling to differentiate fungal from bacterial etiologies. Management requires a combined approach encompassing antifungal pharmacotherapy, prosthetic correction, including restoration of the occlusal vertical dimension, and optimization of oral and denture hygiene. The published evidence base for specific treatments remains limited, with very few randomized controlled trials available. Prosthodontists should adopt a systematic diagnostic framework that addresses both microbial and mechanical etiologies to reduce recurrence and improve the patient’s quality of life.

Children's rights are a global phenomenon that consistently involves gendered discourses focused on education, equality, and health rights. However, there is a preference for attention to be given to the rights of the girl child. This preference stems from clear cultural, religious, and social factors that naturally place the girl child in a vulnerable position that a boy child is not typically exposed to. While there are international, regional, and national laws in place to protect the rights of the girl child, the harmful practice of child, early, and forced marriage (CEFM) still persists in certain regions of Nigerian society. This practice subjects the girl child to mental and emotional anguish, ultimately depriving her of opportunities such as education, career advancement, and political aspirations. The purpose of this paper is to propose a method by which issues related to CEFM can be promptly reported and effectively addressed through an online dispute resolution mechanism (ODR). To achieve this goal, there is an urgent need for a legislative review of current laws on alternative dispute resolution and the establishment of a digital platform where each CEFM issues can be reported, addressed and resolved.

Background: Abnormal vaginal discharge is among the most frequent gynaecological complaints encountered in clinical practice, especially among women of reproductive age. The etiology of abnormal vaginal discharge is broadly categorized into infectious and non-infectious causes. The major infectious causes include bacterial vaginosis (BV), vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), and trichomoniasis. Present study was aimed to study abnormal vaginal discharge in women of reproductive age group at a tertiary hospital. Material and Methods: Present study was hospital-based prospective observational study, conducted in sexually active women in age group 21 to 49 year with abnormal vaginal discharge. Results: The age distribution showed that most women with abnormal vaginal discharge belonged to the 26-35 years age group, constituting 69% of the study population. Type of residence had a moderate influence, with 54.5% urban and 45.5% rural participants Socio-demographic variables such as education and economic status played a significant role. Symptomatology was diverse, with vaginal itching (58.5%) being the most common symptom. The characteristics of vaginal discharge provided valuable diagnostic clues. White discharge was reported in 48% of cases, followed by curdy white (36%) and yellowish white (16%). Thick discharge consistency (47%) was most prevalent, consistent with fungal infections, particularly vulvovaginal candidiasis. Microbiological diagnosis revealed vulvovaginal candidiasis in 27%, bacterial vaginosis in 14%, and mixed infections in 2.5%, while 56% had no identifiable pathogen. Treatment was administered per syndromic guidelines. A majority (56%) were reassured with no specific therapy, indicating likely physiological or non-infective causes. Green Kit (29.5%) and metronidazole (14.5%) were used in symptomatic cases. At follow-up, 78% showed complete symptom resolution and 15% no relief,7% loss to follow up. Conclusion: Treatment based on definitive laboratory investigations allows for precise diagnosis and tailored therapy, thereby offering greater accuracy and efficacy compared to the syndromic approach which is primarily symptom-driven.

In the present work, the electrochemical study has been carried out on the derivatives of azo and nitro dyes for Ortho-Phenylenediamine (OPD) predominantly used in colorants. The results of the electrochemical study are assessed in terms of decolorisation and reduction in toxicity. Kinetics of decolorisation was monitored and resulted after 15 minutes. This work also comparatively analyzes the decoloration of dyes at pH 10 and pH 6. The Spectrophotometry measures, energy of a substance absorbs at varying wavelengths of light. Transmittance at different wavelength shows the maximum absorbance at 290 nm and also the transparency of the material is maximum. The maximum absorbance is recorded at higher pH 10 for 10 ppm absorbance percentage is 0.329 for 30 minutes. For pH 6 at 290 nm for 10 ppm the percentage transmittance is 51.3 and absorbance percentage is 0.290. Activated Charcoal is best fit adsorbents used for removal of toxic dyes as well as for environmental pollution reduction.

Conclusion: Overall, the study concludes that Physical Fitness, and Cardiovascular Endurance of Subroto Cup football players of Bari High School demonstrate strong Cardiovascular Endurance. They show comparatively weaker performance in Speed, Explosive Strength, and Agility. Thus, the findings highlight the importance of designing balanced training programs that emphasize sprint training, plyometric exercises, and agility drills, while maintaining endurance levels.

Mixed reality (MR), encompassing augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, is an emerging tool in clinical dentistry that enables digital information to be displayed directly within the clinician’s field of view. Modern dental practice relies heavily on electronic health records, radiographic imaging, and computer-assisted diagnostic and surgical systems, often requiring clinicians to divert attention away from the operative field. These interruptions can disrupt workflow and increase cognitive load. This study aimed to quantify computer dependence across common general dentistry and oral surgery procedures and to evaluate which clinical discipline may benefit most from MR integration into dental loupes. A retrospective observational analysis was conducted on fifty patients treated by a single general dentist, with ten patients included in each procedure category: Extraction(s), Root Canal Treatment(s), Crown(s), Filling(s), and Prophylaxis. An additional fifty patients were treated by two oral surgeons across six procedure categories, with ten patients per category except for implant procedures, which included five patients each: Surgical Extraction(s) with IV Sedation, Implant without Assisted Reality Glasses, Implant with Assisted Reality Glasses, Bone Graft with IV Sedation, Bone Graft with Local Anesthesia, and Biopsy. Computer usage was quantified as seconds per interaction with digital devices during active treatment. A two-sample t-test demonstrated a statistically significant difference in computer usage between general dentistry and oral surgery procedures (p < 0.001), with oral surgery exhibiting more frequent digital interactions and greater computer dependence. One-way ANOVA tests conducted independently within each discipline revealed significant variation in computer usage among procedure types. These findings suggest that targeted MR integration may be particularly beneficial in oral surgery workflows, where frequent consultation of digital systems is essential. Prioritizing MR and assisted reality technologies in high-dependence procedures may reduce attention shifts, lower cognitive load, and enhance clinical efficiency.

Posterior scleritis is a rare and potentially sight-threatening inflammatory condition involving the sclera posterior to the ora serrata. Its diagnosis is often challenging due to nonspecific clinical features and limited accessibility to direct examination. It is commonly associated with systemic autoimmune diseases, while its association with psoriasis remains rare. A 58-year-old woman presented with severe right ocular and periorbital pain exacerbated by eye movements, associated with persistent headaches. Symptoms had been evolving for two months with an initial diagnosis of anterior scleritis. Ophthalmologic examination revealed reduced visual acuity (3/10), diffuse conjunctival hyperemia, and inferonasal retinal folds. B-scan ultrasonography and optical coherence tomography confirmed posterior scleritis by demonstrating scleral thickening and retinal folds. Systemic evaluation identified erythematosquamous lesions consistent with psoriasis and a biological inflammatory syndrome, while autoimmune and infectious workups were unremarkable. Orbital MRI confirmed scleral thickening. Intravenous corticosteroid therapy led to rapid symptom relief, recovery of visual acuity to 10/10, and resolution of retinal abnormalities within 10 days. Methotrexate therapy resulted in sustained improvement. Posterior scleritis may reveal underlying systemic disease. Psoriasis, although rare, should be considered. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential to prevent visual complications.

Introduction: The relationship between implant length and prosthetic crown height has traditionally been considered a critical factor in the biomechanical stability of implant-supported restorations. High crown-to-implant ratios (CIR) have been associated with increased stress at the bone–implant interface and potential risk of failure. However, recent evidence suggests that this parameter may have a limited clinical impact when other factors are properly controlled. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the clinical performance of extra-short, narrow-diameter implants placed in situations with crown-to-implant ratios ≥3. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted including patients treated in 2020 with extra-short implants (4.5–6.5 mm) and narrow diameters (3–3.5 mm), supporting single or fixed restorations. All cases had a minimum follow-up of five years. Treatment planning was performed using CBCT and digital software, allowing individualized surgical protocols to optimize primary stability. Clinical and radiographic follow-up included periodic periapical radiographs. Implant survival was assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis, and marginal bone loss was measured using calibrated digital images. Results: Six patients with 24 implants were included, with a mean follow-up of 62.6 ± 7.8 months. The mean crown-to-implant ratio was 3.27 ± 0.26 (range 3–3.9). Implant survival was 100%, with no failures recorded. Prosthetic survival was also 100%, although seven minor technical complications were observed, mainly screw loosening. Mean marginal bone loss was 0.42 ± 0.59 mm (mesial) and 0.45 ± 0.70 mm (distal). Most implants were immediately loaded and restored with screw-retained prostheses. Conclusions: Extra-short, narrow-diameter implants placed in situations with crown-to-implant ratios ≥3 can achieve favorable medium-term clinical outcomes. Implant survival and marginal bone stability appear to depend more on biomechanical and biological factors than on the magnitude of the crown-to-implant ratio itself. These findings suggest that high CIR values should not be considered a limiting factor when appropriate treatment planning and load control are applied.
