  • ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ART AND RELIGION

    Social science believes that religion is a cultural phenomenon that has emerged in the development of human society to a certain historical stage, an illusory reflection of the objective world, and a social ideology. Primitive religions, also known as tribal religions, refers to the religions of the ancient times and the religions of uncivilized society, such as nature worship, elf worship, totem worship, witch cult, etc. Art refers to a social ideology that uses images to reflect reality but is more typical than reality, including literature, calligraphy, painting, sculpture, architecture, music, dance, drama, film, and Chinese Quyi. There is a close relationship between art and religion, and their production and development are closely linked.

  • Determining the Best Plan for Malls Parking Lot Based on Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Model

    With the rapid development of social economy, the number of family cars has entered a period of rapid growth and the consequent urban parking problem has become increasingly prominent, gradually becoming one of the problems facing cities in China. The regional planning of parking spaces can expand the number of parking spaces within a unit area. Therefore, considering safety, convenience, efficiency and other factors, how to maximize the number of parking spaces is the key to solve the parking problem. Based on the triangle division of Abdelfattah model and the analysis of PSU planning theory, the planning of mall parking lot is more realistic. This kind of planning maximizes the number of parking spaces on the basis of greatly increasing the flexibility of vehicle entry and exit, which is more conducive to our life.

  • Primary Mucosal Melanoma Mimicking High Grade Urothelial Carcinoma: A Potential Diagnostic Pitfall

    Primary malignant melanomas of the genitourinary tract are rare, representing < 1% of all cases of melanoma1,2. We report a case of a 68-year-old female patient with primary malignant melanoma of the urethra with morphology mimicking that of high grade papillary urothelial carcinoma. The patient presented following a workup with an outside urologist that revealed a urethral mass. The patient complained of urinary incontinence and pelvic pain at initial presentation. A CT scan of the abdomen & pelvis revealed a soft tissue density within the vaginal vault, consistent with urethral cancer. A cystoscopy and urethral excisional biopsy was performed. Histologic examination of the specimen revealed an invasive tumor composed of epithelioid cells with prominent eosinophilic cytoplasm forming papillary structures. However, the tumor cells were negative for CK7, CK20, GATA 3 and Pancytokeratin and positive for S-100, SOX 10 and Melan A. The case was ultimately diagnosed as malignant melanoma.

  • Predicting Traffic Congestion Time Based on Kalman Filter Algorithm

    This paper mainly solved the problem of predicting the time required for vehicles to pass through congested roads. In order to obtain more accurate prediction time, a Kalman prediction model based on multiple linear regression was established in this paper. Taking the 2008 Yanan elevated road in Shanghai as an example, the measured data in this section was collected from the traffic measured data sharing network, and the above model was used to obtain good prediction results. As an improvement, we used BP neural network instead of multiple linear regression to make the prediction result more in line with the actual situation.

  • Rhabdomyolysis requiring emergency dialysis as a consequence of simultaneous administration of simvastatin and clarithromycin

    Iatrogenic complications from polypharmacy have significantly increased over the past decade and clinicians and pharmacists must remain aware of potentially dangerous drug interactions 1–3. Our case is a reminder of the potential for significant patient harm from drug interactions when additional medication that is seemingly innocuous is prescribed in addition to a patient’s regular long-term medications. Our case also highlights the diagnosis and management of rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury. A 75-year-old Caucasian male presented to the emergency department with nausea, bilateral calf tenderness and a reduced urine output. Creatinine Kinase (CK) levels demonstrated severe rhabdomyolysis and the patient’s creatinine was significantly elevated with a concurrent metabolic acidosis requiring urgent renal replacement therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU). He was recently prescribed clarithromycin 500mg twice daily as part of Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy in addition to his regular combination therapy of simvastatin 80 mg and ezetimibe 10 mg daily dose. Statins may cause dose dependent Statin Associated Myopathies (SAMs) such as myositis and rhabdomyolysis and are metabolised by the hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP450) 3A4 enzyme4,5. Clarithromycin is a potent CYP450 3A4 hepatic enzyme inhibitor that leads to significantly elevated plasma levels of statin medications, increasing the risk of SAMs4,6–8. Our patient responded to the cessation of the offending medications and initiation of continuous renal replacement therapy. This case demonstrates the dangerous side effects and interactions of commonly prescribed medications.

  • SOCIO-ECONOMIC CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCE OF BEGGING

    The objective of this study was to assess the causes and consequences of begging in Dessie city. To achieve the purpose of this research, a mixed research design was employed. The respondents were selected through convenience and purposive sampling techniques. The data were collected through survey, in-depth interview and key informant interview data collection methods. Both quantitative and qualitative methods of data analysis were used in a concurrent manner. The researchers used descriptive statistical tools to analyze the quantitative data. Descriptive tools such as frequency, percentages, and tables are employed to present the results. On the other hand, the qualitative data was analyzed by using thematic analysis methods. As the findings indicated that leading causes that force individuals to begging is the wide spread poverty and economic problems of families, health problems (illness), physical disability, homelessness, loss of property and lack of caring relatives. Moreover, death of parents (orphanage), lack of old age security and divorce were factors contributing to begging life. There are also negative consequences of begging including lack of shelter and food, harsh weather conditions (sun and cold), verbal abuse posed by the public, car accident and harassments from fellow beggars. Harassment by municipal officials and by police, discrimination and stigma were the other common problems associated with begging. It can conclude that beggar’s are faced a wider range of socio economic challenges, immeasurable exploitations and sufferings while they were begging and living on the street, public places and churchyards. Therefore, government and non government organization need to resolve the major causes of begging as well as it needs to strengthen the social protection system to protect vulnerable groups including beggars.

  • THE ARTISTIC STUDY OF THE FILM “GREEN BOOK”

    The quality of a film comes from all aspects. Among them, the director’s design of the lens language, the control of scene scheduling and the design of the narrative structure are very important parts of achieving a film. The film “Green Book” has attracted a lot of controversy after winning the Oscar best film, basically it is criticized from the perspective of film literature, but the film’s achievements in director art are rarely mentioned. The characters’ appearance, detailed elements and narrative structure provide an in-depth analysis of the film’s director art.

  • Obturator Internus Muscle Abscess (OIMA) Successfully Treated With CT-Guided Trans-gluteal Drainage and Antibiotics. A Case Report and Literature Review

    Background: Obturator Internus Muscle Abscess (OIMA) is a rare cause of infection around the adult hip with a handful of cases reported in the literature. The management usually consists of antibiotics and open surgical drainage. Case: We present a case of a 38-year old diabetic gentleman with an OIMA causing mass effect and shifting of intrapelvic organs. To our knowledge, this is the first case that was successfully treated with CT- guided trans-gluteal drainage and culture-specific antibiotics.

  • Using Mathematical Model to Analyze the Northward Migration of Marine Life

    This paper studies the migration of fish caused by the rise of sea water temperature caused by global warming. It is required to predict the migration sites of herring and mackerel in the next 50 years, as well as the best, worst and most likely time for small-scale fishing companies in the original area of Scotland to continue fishing, and to formulate reasonable business strategies for such companies, while taking into account the territorial waters of other countries. The grey prediction model and linear regression model are established. By querying the sea temperature in the geographic location range ( , ) from 2010 to 2018, we predict it in terms of the quarter as the time unit. Because the result of grey prediction model is not in accordance with the reality, the final data is obtained by linear regression model. According to the data analysis, the migration routes of fish are all northward, and the main direction is to migrate to the coast of Norway, but some of herring will move to the coast of Iceland later. The grey prediction algorithm and BP neural network algorithm used in this paper have been widely used in solving all kinds of practical problems in reality, so the conclusion of this paper is feasible and extensive.
