Exploring a possible link between insulin resistance, vaccine to SARS CoV 2 and glycaemic disturbances in diabetes mellitus, type 2
No full textThe occurrence of both hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia, individually and in combination is reported in the literature, occurring in various insulin resistance (IR) syndromes, both to endogenous insulin, like Hirata disease, otherwise called the Insulin Autoimmune syndrome (IAS), type A, I R, Type B, IR etc. and to exogenous administered insulin, like, exogenous insulin antibody syndrome, (EIAS), non- classical auto immune syndrome to exogenous insulin, etc. Glycaemic disturbances without IR and in non-diabetics, like idiopathic and symptomatic reactive hypoglycaemias are also described in the literature. This author, recently reported for the first time, a biphasic post - vaccinal syndrome, following vaccination for Covid 19 (Covishield), causing glycemic disturbances in an elderly diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) patient on insulin who had moderate IR. Insulin resistance to exogenous insulin observed in the patient, is considered crucial for the occurrence of the observed clinical syndrome as, an increase or decrease of IR, and could explain the observed glycaemic disturbances. The IR to exogenous insulin, and the vaccine to Covid 19, both have immunological basis. The immunological aspects of both IR and the Covid 19 vaccine are briefly reviewed to explore any possible interaction between the two, that could explain the observed clinical syndrome, referred to above. Also, the various underlying mechanisms for the glycaemic disturbances, in the above-mentioned IR syndromes and non-IR or r syndromes are explored as to shed some light on the mechanism of the glycaemic disturbances in the syndrome reported. A hypothesis is suggested, taking into consideration, the aforesaid observations. Apart from IR to exogenous insulin, other unidentified factors that might be causing the clinical syndrome reported, and which might account for its paucity of reporting, need to be investigated by future research
Type 2 Myocardial Infarction- A Case Report
No full textType 2 MI (T2MI) was defined as myocardial infarction other than due to coronary artery disease (CAD), produced by disparity between supply and demand of oxygen .Cases were reported in literature where T2 MI was diagnosed even in presence of even 90 % block in coronaries, where recent ischemic changes were shown to be not due to the CAD but to disparity between supply and demand of oxygen. There was considerable overlap with the classical type1 NSTE MI and T2 MI and distinguishing between the two was considered challenging. Though T2 MI constituted about 25% of all cases of MI, the centres reporting Type 2 MI ranged between 0-13% only. Type 2 MI, the new heterogeneous group, was officially recognised by the task force on the universal definition of MI in 2007. The scope and criteria were changing since it was defined in 2007. Further, it appeared that -coronary cause of MI was more important than disparity between supply and demand of myocardial oxygen supply. For instance Sepsis, one of the important causes of T2 MI, could cause Type 2 MI by myocardial depression even in presence of normal oxygen perfusion. A case reported initially as NSTEMI, was retrospectively considered the possibility of T2MI. The reasons there of and the intricacies in the diagnosis of T2 MI are discussed in this article

Transmisi Memori dan Wacana Rekonsiliasi dalam Cerpen “Perempuan Sinting Di Dapur” Karya Ugoran Prasad: Kajian Postmemory
No full textThis study aims to explain the structure of memory transmission in the short story "Perempuan Sinting di Dapur" by Ugoran Prasad and the reconciliation discourse offered by the author. Overall, this short story raised the 1965 Event in Indonesia. Ugoran Prasad tried to discuss the impact caused by the incident, both in terms of the perpetrators and victims. The theory used is the postmemory theory developed by Marianne Hirsch. The results of this study indicate that the structure of memory transmission in short stories is mediated by behavior and narratives, both from the perspective of victims and perpetrators. Both of these parties turned out to be equally save the deep trauma that was carried throughout his life. Then, through this short story, Ugoran Prasad presented a discourse of reconciliation to those who had a traumatic impact on the 1965 event, both generations who were traumatized and post-generation. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan struktur transmisi memori dalam cerpen “Perempuan Sinting di Dapur” karya Ugoran Prasad dan wacana rekonsiliasi yang ditawarkan oleh penulis. Secara keseluruhan, cerpen ini mengangkat Peristiwa 1965 di Indonesia. Ugoran Prasad berusaha membahas mengenai dampak yang ditimbulkan dari peristiwa itu, baik dari segi pelaku maupun korban. Adapun teori yang digunakan adalah teori postmemory yang dikembangkan oleh Marianne Hirsch. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa struktur transmisi memori dalam cerpen dimediasi oleh perilaku dan narasi atau cerita, baik dari perspektif korban maupun pelaku. Kedua pihak ini ternyata sama-sama menyimpan trauma mendalam yang dibawa seumur hidupnya. Kemudian, melalui cerpen ini Ugoran Prasad menghadirkan wacana rekonsiliasi kepada pihak-pihak yang berdampak trauma akan Peristiwa 1965, baik generasi yang mengalami trauma maupun post-generatio

A genetic tango attack against the David–Prasad RFID ultra-lightweight authentication protocol
No full textRadio frequency identification (RFID) is a powerful technology that enables wireless information storage and control in an economical way. These properties have generated a wide range of applications in different areas. Due to economic and technological constrains, RFID devices are seriously limited, having small or even tiny computational capabilities. This issue is particularly challenging from the security point of view. Security protocols in RFID environments have to deal with strong computational limitations, and classical protocols cannot be used in this context. There have been several attempts to overcome these limitations in the form of new lightweight security protocols designed to be used in very constrained (sometimes called ultra-lightweight) RFID environments. One of these proposals is the David–Prasad ultra-lightweight authentication protocol. This protocol was successfully attacked using a cryptanalysis technique named Tango attack. The capacity of the attack depends on a set of boolean approximations. In this paper, we present an enhanced version of the Tango attack, named Genetic Tango attack, that uses Genetic Programming to design those approximations, easing the generation of automatic cryptanalysis and improving its power compared to a manually designed attack. Experimental results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of this new attack.Security LabElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

RF Information Harvesting for Medium Access in Event-driven Batteryless Sensing
No full textWe present radio-frequency (RF) information harvesting, a chan-nel sensing technique that takes advantage of the energy in the wireless medium to detect channel activity at essentially no en-ergy cost. RF information harvesting is essential for event-driven wireless sensing applications using battery-less devices that har-vest tiny amounts of energy from impromptu events, such as op-erating a switch, and then transmit the event notification to a one-hop gateway. As multiple such devices may concurrently de-tect events, coordinating access to the channel is key. RF infor-mation harvesting allows devices to break the symmetry between concurrently-transmitting devices based on the harvested energy from the ongoing transmissions. To demonstrate the benefits of RF information harvesting, we integrate it in a tailor-made ultra low-power hardware MAC protocol we call Radio Frequency-Distance Packet Queuing (RF-DiPaQ). We build a hardware/software proto-type of RF-DiPaQ and use an established Markov framework to study its performance at scale. Comparing RF-DiPaQ against sta-ple contention-based MAC protocols, we show that it outperforms pure Aloha and 1-CSMA by factors of 3.55 and 1.21 respectively in throughput, while it saturates at more than double the offered load compared to 1-CSMA. As traffic increases, the energy saving of RF-DiPaQ against CSMA protocols increases, consuming 36% less energy than np-CSMA at typical offered loads.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Embedded System
