The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning workloads has intensified demand for Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) resources in cloud computing environments. Multi-tenant infrastructures, particularly those leveraging Kubernetes orchestration within OpenStack platforms, face critical challenges in efficiently sharing GPU resources while maintaining fairness across diverse tenants and workloads. This paper investigates intelligent GPU scheduling and fairness mechanisms tailored for multi-tenant AI workloads in Kubernetes–OpenStack environments. Building upon recent advances in container orchestration and GPU virtualization, this study examines the architectural integration of Kubernetes device plugins with OpenStack Nova and Ironic GPU management components. The analysis explores fairness versus performance trade-offs, evaluating how priority-based queuing, workload-aware preemption, and policy-driven scheduling impact training latency, inference throughput, and cost efficiency. Through comprehensive examination of existing GPU sharing techniques, virtualization approaches, and scheduling algorithms, this research identifies critical design considerations for achieving balanced resource allocation. The findings reveal that hybrid scheduling approaches combining time-slicing with spatial partitioning, coupled with adaptive fairness policies, offer superior performance isolation and tenant satisfaction compared to static allocation schemes. Furthermore, the integration of capacity-based resource models with dynamic workload profiling enables fine-grained quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees essential for latency-sensitive inference tasks while maximizing utilization for batch training workloads. This work contributes to the growing body of knowledge on GPU resource management in containerized cloud environments and provides practical insights for deploying fair and efficient multi-tenant AI infrastructures.

The purpose of any blood/ blood product, when needs to be transfused to any patient, must be a safe one. For that reason, mandatory screening for diseases like HIV, HBV, HCV, Malaria & syphilis are done in all the authentic blood banks in Odisha. Conventionally screening tests for these diseases are usually done by rapid tests/ ELISA tests. During last few years to lessen the window period of these diseases, more advanced test modality like NAT (Nucleic Acid Testing) has been introduced in some transfusion centers in India. The present study has been done to find out the benefit & limitation of the NAT test over ELISA test. The study has been carried out over a period of two years in VIMSAR, NAT center of Odisha where all ELISA negative samples are subjected for testing. Some seronegative cases in ELISA when subjected to NAT testing showed positive results. The percentage of positive samples in NAT which have showed negative in ELISA test was found out to be 0.08% in HI, 0.27% in HBV &0.01% in HCV. NAT Screening may be beneficial in the population where sero-prevalence of Transfusion transmitted infection is high. Although NAT has got an added advantage of reducing the window period, all the blood centers of India cannot afford for the cost of NAT test, so proper donor deferral should be adopted during selection of eligible donors.

Lifelong learning is a central concept in higher education for promoting the nurses’ professional development to be able to adapt to the continuously evolving healthcare environment. Furthermore, a review of the literature established that the nursing profession in Egypt faces many challenges and has been significantly underdeveloped in professional terms over the last three decades. A literature search was conducted using EBSCO host, CINHAL, Medline and Pro-Quest utilizing keywords such as work-based learning, and preregistered nurses. This review focused on qualitative studies published in Egypt and the wider Middle East region from 2008 to 2018. Searches were limited to English language publications and peer-reviewed articles. Joanna Brigg Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist tool for qualitative research was used for quality assessment for eligibility. The review included six published articles. These studies focused on different forms of WBL among undergraduate nursing students. Burnard’s thematic analysis method was used to analyse the extracted data. The data analysis revealed five main themes in relevance to the two outcomes. The review found that the learners’ transition to a new learning method and the readiness inadequacy are two main challenges. On the other hand, the review revealed that increasing interpersonal skills, promoting self-directedness and enhancing critical thinking abilities are the major effects of WBL. The findings stress the importance of WBL as an active learning approach. Although WBL forms a challenge for learners, they later realize and value the importance of WBL in improving their critical thinking abilities and promoting selflearning skills.

Dengue is one of the most serious mosquito-borne viral infections affecting tropical and subtropical countries in the world. Since there is no immune prophylactic or specific antiviral therapy available, timely and rapid diagnosis plays a vital role in patient management and implementation of control measures. The present study was planned to diagnose the dengue infection by detecting dengue NS-1 antigen & to study the seroprevalence of dengue NS-1 antigen. Dengue NS-1 antigen testing done by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed during July-2017 to September-2018 and the data were analyzed retrospectively. A total 3397 serum samples received from Guru Gobindsingh Hospital (O.P.D. & Indoor) for the detection of Dengue NS-1 Ag. Out of 3397 samples, total 841 (24.48%) were Positive for Dengue NS1 Ag among this, 548 (65.16%) male and 293 (34.84%) female. And 307 (36.50%) were 0-20 years of age, 448 (53.27%) were 21-40 years of age and 86 (10.23%) were >40 years of age. Present study shows that dengue fever is seen more in 21-40 years of age group and more common in male compare to female. Effective implementation of vector control measures through efforts toward vector breeding source reduction and with the use of personal prophylactic measures against mosquito bites will help in reducing the dengue prevalence in the community.

Background: Prolonged hospitalization can intensify mental and emotional distress, adversely affecting patient recovery and well-being. Objective: This study evaluates the mental and emotional impact of extended hospital stays on patients in a Saudi Arabian hospital context. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the inpatient unit of Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal Hospital, Nursing Department, Dammam, Saudi Arabia, from June 2017 to June 2018. One hundred patients admitted for over ten days were assessed using validated psychological tools, with data analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Among of 100 patients, 72% (n=72) exhibited moderate to severe anxiety, while 65% (n=65) showed symptoms of depression. Emotional distress was identified in 80% (n=80) of participants, with 45% (n=36) experiencing severe distress. Additionally, 68% (n=68) of patients indicated that confinement and isolation significantly contributed to their distress levels. Among those with limited family support, 85% (n=34 out of 40) reported higher levels of anxiety and depression, compared to 61% (n=37 out of 60) among those with regular family interactions. Statistical analysis confirmed a strong association (p < 0.05) between prolonged hospitalization and adverse mental health outcomes, with isolation and lack of support being key contributing factors. Conclusions: Prolonged hospitalization substantially affects mental and emotional well-being, underscoring the need for tailored mental health interventions in long-term care settings.

Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of degree of variation in the red blood cell size. RDW is recorded as a part of the standard complete blood cell count. The objective of this prospective research study is to find out the independent association of RDW with morbidity in various clinical conditions. This was a fourteen months prospective study done on 450 patients who attended OPD in tertiary care hospital, out of which 306 patients were diagnosed with various clinical conditions, out of which 270 patients showed raised RDW values. In multivariable analysis, RDW remained significantly associated with patient morbidity. In patients, RDW is an independent predictor of morbidity. Considering the fact that RDW is routinely measured in complete blood count without added expenses, this can play role as an "priceless prognostic indicator" in patients.

Plasma lipid can be affected by variety of ways in patient‘s of liver disease. Liver cirrhosis is associated with reduction in plasma TG and TC levels due to reduction in lipoprotein biosynthetic capacity. To study the lipid profile in patients of liver cirrhosis. One hundred and fifty subjects were studied after dividing them in to Case Group (n=75, patients with liver disease) and Control (n=75, age and sex matched apparently healthy subjects). Child Pugh Score (CPS) was used to assess the liver cirrhosis. MELD score was also estimated. Lipid profile was measured for all the subjects and correlated with different parameters. Mean age of cases and control group was 43.47±14.12 and 43.21±14.47 years respectively (p=0.914). Majority of the Cases and control were male (74.66%) and 77.30% respectively. TC and HDL level was low in subjects belong to CPS class C in comparison to subjects belong to CPS class B (p=0.03). Level of LDL, TG and VLDL were observed low in Cases which belongs to CPS class C in comparison to cases belong to CPS class B (p>0.05). Total serum protein and serum albumin was significantly low in Cases compared to Control (p=0.001) whereas serum globulin was significantly higher in Cases as compared to control cohort (p=0.001). Decrease in lipid level was noted in liver cirrhosis patients and severity of liver cirrhosis has lead to even more lower level of lipid in CPS class C compared to class B.

Plasmid-mediated resistance gene MCR-1 presence in MDR E. coli represents a paradigm shift in colistin resistance and poses serious threats in colistin use as last resort drug treatment in animal and human health. Following the first MCR- 1 description, researchers around the world published multiple reports about its presence in Enterobacteriaceae. In Morocco, among 560 APEC isolates from septicemic broilers thoroughly scrutinized by the disc diffusion method as an initial screening followed by MIC reference technic, 12 strains were suspected as potential carriers of MCR-1 gene. PCR and Sanger sequencing permitted confirmation of MCR- 1 presence in three strains giving sequence genes with 100 % homology to MCR-1 gene. Results were concordant with multiple reports about chicken suspicions as a potential reservoir for MCR-1 carrying E. coli. Therefore, the use of colistin in animal health must be more controlled and urgent establishment of a national program for antimicrobial resistance surveillance become crucial.

This study was conducted on 200 antenatal cases reporting to the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of MMIMS&R Mullana, having haemoglobin levels less than 11gm/dl. Study was aimed at the assessment of serum ferritin levels and haematological parameters in anemic pregnant women and to evaluate the degree of severity of anemia including it’s morphological types on the basis of peripheral blood film. A panel of haematological investigations was performed that included Hb estimation, RBC count, MCH, MCHC, MCV, PCV, peripheral blood film and biochemical test of serum ferritin estimation respectively. Majority of the antenatal cases (55%), showed microcytic hypochromic blood picture on PBF examination. Serum ferritin levels of <15µg/l were seen in maximum no of cases (92.5%), which was suggestive of iron deficiency. Conclusively, individual haematological parameters have their limitations, so a combination of different parameters certainly improves their usefulness in antenatal care. These parameters should be combined with other tests like serum ferritin levels estimation, to know the exact iron status in pregnancy, as it is an accurate measure of iron stores. It also distinguishes iron deficiency anemia from anemia of chronic disorders.

Beta-thalassemia major (BTM) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality due to iron overload resulting from ineffective erythropoiesis and repeated blood transfusions. The level of hepcidin, a regulator of iron homeostasis, is influenced by anemia and iron overload, both of which are present in children with BTM and have an opposing effect on hepcidin expression. This study aimed to assess the influence of iron overload and enhanced erythropoiesis on the levels of serum hepcidin in multitransfused patients with BTM. Complete blood counts, serum iron (SI), total iron binding capacity (TIBC), percent transferrin saturation (%TS), serum ferritin (SF), serum transferrin receptors (sTfR) and serum hepcidin were measured in 52 patients with BTM and 35 controls. SF and sTfR were significantly (p<0.001) elevated in patients with BTM as compared to controls. Serum hepcidin was significantly (p<0.001) higher in patients (28.3±3.2 ng/ml) as compared to controls (8.3±4.6 ng/ml). A negative correlation was seen between serum hepcidin and SI, TIBC and %TS. No correlation was observed between serum hepcidin and SF as also sTfR. The mean serum hepcidin/ferritin ratio was significantly (p<0.001) lower in patients as compared to controls. The lack of correlation between hepcidin and SF as also sTfR, suggests that in BTM iron stores and erythropoietic activity do not play a role in hepcidin expression. The hepcidin/ferritin ratio was <1 in patients indicating a suppression of hepcidin relative to the degree of iron overload.

The surface is an important component of many technical parts to ensure tribo-technical functions. Development of new types of coatings and their deposition methods provides technically exploitable coatings with good tribological properties. In experiments in addition to conventional parameters such as friction coefficient, temperature, etc. are analyzed the surface properties in friction and wear area before and after the tribological tests using different methods and analysis. The paper deals about the possibilities of image analysis methods, using the Matlab Image Processing Toolbox, obtained by SEM for coatings based on DLC/CN to document the morphology of the surface before the tribological test. By the geometric properties modifications and applications of a wider spectrum of sophisticated operations and algorithms in image analysis have been made about the surface morphology of coatings analyzed.

Experiment was conducted during raining season (June/July) at the Biological Sciences garden of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto, to determine the effect of different kinds of manure (neem litter, cow dung and poultry droppings) on the growth of Amaranthus viridis, Grown in polythene bags. The fertilizers (neem litter, Cowdung & poultry droppings) were applied at the rate of 1.5 g (gram) per polythene bag. The result showed that the plants fertilized with poultry droppings produced taller shoots and larger number of leaves, whereas the plants fertilized with neem litter, showed the lowest growth. The plants fertilized with cowdung were taller than plants fertilized with neem litter but smaller than plants fertilized with poultry droppings. Therefore based on this research it can be said that, poultry droppings may be used for high quality organic plant production.
