Patients diagnosed with cancer face mental problems such as alienation, isolation, anxiety about death and fear, recovering from psychological difficulties. In this study, a forest healing program was provided for cancer patients to recover from psychological stress, depression, social isolation and self-esteem caused by cancer and changes in salivary cortisol through psychological and emotional recovery were measured. From September 19 to November 28, 2017, a forest healing program composed of a total of 10 sessions, two hours per session was provided for 12 cancer patients in the Forest of Taegyo located in Yongin. Psychological tests were performed with Social Adaptation Self-evaluation Scale (SASS), Korean-version Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the collected data were analyzed with the SPSS 18.0. The salivary cortisol level was measured along with the psychological tests and were analyzed by a specialized testing agency. The results of the analysis showed that the preand post-assessment score of SASS was 29.17 and 25.92, respectively, and that the preand post-assessment score of PSS was 30.50 and 23.92, respectively. The preand post-assessment score of BDI was 41.00 and 34.83, respectively, which showed significant differences. In addition, the preand post-assessment level of saliva cortisol was 3.13 and 1.68, respectively, showing a significant decrease. In short, the forest healing program was found to be effective in reducing physiological changes caused by social isolation and stress due to the emotional and psychological difficulties that the subjects who were diagnosed with cancer and were recovering from it have. In the future, it will be necessary to develop and implement a forest healing program by conducting a forest healing requirement survey on cancer patients.

Material and Methods: This cross-sectional retrospective study included 360 (189 female and 171 male) adolescents (mean age: 15.49±2.28 years) who demanded orthodontic treatment. Face-to-face interviews were conducted by an orthodontist using a specially structured questionnaire to determine the reasons for these demands. Pearson’s chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were used to analyze the relationships between dental malocclusion groups and reasons for demanding treatment. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results: The demands for orthodontic treatment did not differ between male and female patients but were significantly affected by malocclusion type. Patients concerned with dental crowding (DC) demanded orthodontic treatment the most (50.6%), regardless of DC severity, followed by patients (30.6%) concerned with dental esthetics (30.6%). Overall, 57.8% of patients who demanded orthodontic treatment reported a problem in the maxillary anterior teeth. Regarding the relationship between demanding orthodontic treatment and patients’ problematic areas, no relationship was observed for class I and II malocclusions but a relationship was observed for class III malocclusions. Discussion: It is necessary to identify adolescent patients’ reasons for demanding orthodontic treatment and establish what would represent a successful treatment outcome. Regardless of DC severity, irregularity in the upper anterior region was the most common reason for patients to demand treatment.
Anti-obesity and Hypolipidemic Effects of GymnemaSyylvestre Leaves on Rats Fed on High Fat Diet

This work aimed to study the effects of high fat diet enriched with GymnemaSyylvestre leaves (GSL) on obese rats. Thirty (30) male albino rats weighting 150-160g used in this study and assigned to 5 groups. The negative control group received basal diet throughout the experimental period. However, the experimental groups including 24 rats were feed on specific high fat diet (HFD) for 21 days to induced by obesity and hyperlipidemic rats. Rats fed on high fatdiets treated with GSL at (2,4 and 6%) indicated significantly decrease (p≤ 0.05) in feed intake (F.I), body weight gain (BWG), and feed efficiency ratio (FER) at (p≤ 0.05) comparing with control positive . in the same time the positive control group significantly increased in FI, BWG and FER compared to the negative control group.Also, tested leaves showed a significant decreases (p≤ 0.05) in mean value of liptin Hormone, TSH , T.C, T.G, LDL,VLDL and AI comparing with control positive group. On the other hand there were a significant increases (p≤ 0.05) in means values of T3,T4 and HDL of obese rats treated with GSL.Inconclusion,GSLcould be recommended in our daily drinks and diets in a moderate amount (5-10 g).

Adugna Gedefaw Tesfahun Melese Yilma 2 Berhanu Fikadie Endehabtu 2 1Department of Health Informatics, Debre Tabor Health Science College, Gondar, Ethiopia; 2Department of Health Informatics, Institute of Public Health, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia Introduction: Cancer is among the leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa over the last few years, putting a tremendous physical, emotional, and financial strain on individuals, families, and health systems. Many health systems in sub-Saharan Africa are least prepared to manage this burden, and a large number of individuals do not have access to quality cancer-related information to prevent and manage cancer. Understanding the information seeking behavior of individuals, especially university students who are more likely to seek health information than other people, can be seen as an opportunity to provide resources to improve lifestyle or prevent possible health-threatening behaviors of individuals. Objective: This study aimed to assess cancer information seeking behavior (CISB) and its associated factors among students in Debre Tabor University, Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among students at Debre Tabor University from March 01 to March 30, 2019. A total of 844 students were selected using a multistage stratified sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured and pretested questionnaire by trained data collectors. Data entry and analyses were performed using Epi info version 7.2 and SPSS version 20, respectively. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to explore the socio-demographic information and cancer information seeking behavior. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with cancer information seeking. Results: The proportion of cancer information seeking by students in the past 12 months was 30.1%. Their preferred source of information about cancer was health-care providers (48%) followed by the Internet (27.6%). Year of study, Internet access (AOR=6.07, 95% CI= 4.05, 9.10), health literacy level (AOR=1.8, 95% CI=1.21, 2.68), self-reported health condition (AOR=1.85, 95% CI=1.25, 2.73), perceived susceptibility to cancer (AOR=2.48, 95% CI=1.47, 4.2), and perceived severity of cancer (AOR=3.33, 95% CI=1.85, 6.0) were the factors associated with cancer information seeking. Conclusion: The proportion of cancer information seeking among university students was low. Being 3rdand 4th-year student, internet access, being healthy, adequate health literacy level, concerning about cancer, and higher perceived severity of cancer were significantly associated with cancer information seeking. Increase health literacy and awareness creation about cancer for students will help to seek cancer information.
Generalization error bounds for deep unfolding RNNs

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are powerful models with the ability to model sequential data. However, they are often viewed as black-boxes and lack in interpretability. Deep unfolding methods take a step towards interpretability by designing deep neural networks as learned variations of iterative optimization algorithms to solve various signal processing tasks. In this paper, we explore theoretical aspects of deep unfolding RNNs in terms of their generalization ability. Speciﬁcally, we derive generalization error bounds for a class of deep unfolding RNNs via Rademacher complexity analysis. To our knowledge, these are the ﬁrst generalization bounds proposed for deep unfolding RNNs. We show theoretically that our bounds are tighter than similar ones for other recent RNNs, in terms of the number of timesteps. By training models in a classiﬁcation setting, we demonstrate that deep unfolding RNNs can outperform traditional RNNs in standard sequence classiﬁcation tasks. These experiments allow us to relate the empirical generalization error to the theoretical bounds. In particular, we show that over-parametrized deep un-folding models like reweighted-RNN achieve tight theoretical error bounds with minimal decrease in accuracy, when trained with explicit regularization.
Effect of pelvic girdle stability training on functional sitting control in children with hypotonic cerebral palsy

The aim of this research was to examine the impact of pelvic girdle stability training in children with hypotonic cerebral palsy on functional sitting control. Thirty children with hypotonic cerebral palsy in both sexes, with their ages ranging from two to four years were used in the study. There were fifteen children in the experimental group and fifteen children in the control group. The study group received pelvic girdle stability training program in addition to a selected program for upper limbs and trunk muscles strengthening exercises, while the control group received only the selected program for upper limbs and trunk muscles strengthening exercises. Results revealed significant difference of GMFM88 (sitting domain) (P < 0.01), stationary raw scores and stationary standard scores of PDMS-2 (P < 0.05) but no significant difference of age equivalent of PDMS-2 (P > 0.05). GMFM88, on the other hand, had a significant difference (sitting domain) (P < 0.05) but no significant difference of stationary raw scores, stationary standard scores and age equivalent of PDMS-2 (P > 0.05) in the control group. Paired t-test were conducted for comparison between pre and post treatment mean values of sitting domain and stationary scores in each group. From the obtained results of the present study, we conclude that pelvic girdle stability training program was more effective in generating core muscle activity for functional sitting control compared to traditional physical therapy of upper limbs and trunk muscles strengthening exercises in children with hypotonic cerebral palsy.
A Packaged 135GHz 22nm FD-SOI Transmitter on an LTCC Carrier

We present a packaged 135GHz broadband direct conversion transmitter IC integrated with a series-fed patch antenna on a high-performance Kyocera ceramic interposer GL771 (εr = 5.2 δ = 0.003). The IC, designed in GlobalFoundries (GF) 22nm SOI CMOS, is flip-chip bonded to the interposer using 50 µm diameter copper pillars. The IC-package interface has ~0.9 dB measured loss. The measured antenna has 11dB gain, 12° E-plane 3-dB beam-width, and 6-GHz 3-dB bandwidth. The integrated transmitter module has measured 13dBm EIRP and 6GHz 3-dB modulation bandwidth, the latter limited by the antenna. Measurements of the transmitter's modulation constellations shows that it can support 16Gbps using 16QAM and 15Gbps using 64-QAM.
INFLUENCE OF FAMILY OWNERSHIP ON THE STRUCTURE AND COST OF CAPITAL OF BRAZILIAN COMPANIES

The present study measures the influence of ownership on the capital structure of family businesses, compared to non-family businesses, listed in B3. The existing relations between these variables are the subject of discussions and there is no consensus in the literature regarding the influence exerted by family management on capital structure. For such, this study is characterized as descriptive, with a quantitative approach. Data have been retrieved from the Economatica database and the sample consisted of 269 companies, including family and nonfamily. The literature review generated 6 hypotheses, which observed the dimensions of ownership, indebtedness and cost of capital. Data have been processed and analyzed using the SPSS software, using descriptive statistics, correlation and linear regression. Results show that Long Term Debt and Total Debt presented negative coefficients, which denotes an inversely proportional relation between them and family management. As for the regression, results show that the dimensions of ownership in family management and shareholding concentration significantly influence the indebtedness of companies. There is a trend that this influence on family businesses becomes more significant when evaluated in long-term aspects. Even with this characteristic, family businesses tend to be less indebted compared to others. Their shareholding control was not significant in the proposed analyzes. And the relation between family management, ownership concentration and ownership control with cost of capital was not significant, diverging from other studies that have shown significant influences in these relations. At the end, limitations and suggestions for further investigations are presented.
Development of an ERP System Design Course to Improve Students' Learning Outcomes

This paper describes the design and evaluation of an ERP system design course, which utilizes experiential learning theory along with open ERP sys-tem to provide the students with a holistic and cost-free learning environ-ment. The objective of the course is to familiarize students with the ERP se-lection and implementation life-cycle. When designing the pedagogical framework, the goal was to help students, especially those with little to no working experience to acquire the necessary knowledge, and develop the practical technical experience. Additionally, it was necessary to help students appreciate the depth and issues involved in the ERP system selection and implementation life-cycle. Lectures, case discussions, system demos with interactive labs, and group projects were used all together to enable in depth learning of the proposed topics. We focus on open source ERP system to provide the students with the required hands-on experience, and also to demonstrate that such approach can be utilized even by low resource universities. This paper includes details of the proposed framework. The proposed framework was taught and evaluated in a 1-semester graduate level course at the university of Jeddah, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The course design was in-directly assessed using a survey, and the results revealed the positive impact that the proposed framework had on students’ learning outcomes. The results of the assessment support that experiential based learning using open source ERP systems can lead to improved learning outcome.
Effect of chitosan on variables of tomato growth, yield and nutritional content

Chitosan is a compound of natural origin with properties that promote nutrition, growth and yield of crops, which is why it has been considered as a biostimulant. Its particular mechanisms of action allow it to act as a growth regulator, accelerator of seed germination, plant vigor and agricultural performance. The present work was developed under semi-controlled conditions on a completely randomized design, with the aim of evaluating the effect of different concentrations of chitosan (150, 200, 250 and 300 mg L -1 ) on growth, yield, fruit quality and content of nutrients in tomato plants variety Floradade. The results show that the bioproduct exerts a stimulating effect on the variables: height of the plant, clusters with fruits, fruits per plant, equatorial and polar diameter of the fruit, diameter of the pericarp and fruit mass. The concentration of 300 mg L -1 significantly increased the values in all the variables evaluated with respect to the control treatment. However, in the indicators of fruit quality, there was a slight tendency to improve the acidity variable with the application of the biostimulant and the rest of the evaluated organoleptic and nutritional variables did not undergo notable alterations even when the highest doses of chitosan were used.
Automated ICD-10 Classiﬁcation of Mortality Causes from Textual Records

A death certiﬁcate is a set of free text ﬁelds that indicate the sequence of occurrences until death. These ﬁelds can be viewed in a hierarchical way in which each ﬁeld contains words. To explore this, a neural network is used that takes into account the nature of the input hierarchy. This is done by building representations of phrases within ﬁelds. This neuronal network also explores different mechanisms of attention and different recurrent neural networks, such as LSTM and GRU and their derivations. In addition to innovative weight initialization methods such as co-occurrence between classes. The model was evaluated in the automatic classiﬁcation of death certiﬁcates based on the results previously developed. The best model obtained values of 76 %, 82 % and 89 %.
Examination of Narcissistic Behaviors of Physical Education Teachers and Their Relationship with Job Satisfaction

This study was conducted to reveal the relationships between physical education teachers’ narcissistic behaviors and job satisfaction. This research was designed in a correlational survey model, 195 physical education teachers, 41 females, and 154 males were selected by the simple random sampling among the physical education teachers working in Kırıkkale and Osmaniye provinces, participated in the study voluntarily. In the study, “Personal Information Form” was used to determine the demographic characteristics of the participants, “Narcissistic Personality Inventory-13 (NPI-13)” was used to determine the demographic characteristics of the participants, and the “Job Satisfaction Scale” was used to determine the level of job satisfaction. In the analysis of the data, it was decided whether the descriptive statistics (standard deviation, frequency, arithmetic mean) met the conditions of the parametric tests or not by looking at the Skewness and Kurtosis values and the Levene test results. Since the skewness and kurtosis values obtained in the study were between (-1) and (+1), the applicability of the parametric tests was decided and T-test, One-Way analysis of variance (ANOVA) Pearson correlation coefficient, and simple linear regression analysis were used. As a result of the study, it was determined that the narcissistic behaviors of physical education teachers were moderate and their job satisfaction was high. It was found that there is no significant relationship between narcissistic behaviors and job satisfaction p > 0.05. It was determined that the narcissistic behaviors showed a significant difference between the variables of educational status, age, and status of taking part in sportive activities p < 0.05. The results obtained from this research; showed that physical education teachers’ narcissistic behavior levels did not differ significantly according to gender and branch type, but it was concluded that there was a significant difference according to the variables of educational status, age, the status of taking part in sportive activities and the levels of narcissistic behavior did not affect the job satisfaction of physical education teachers in their professional lives.
Application of kernel hypothesis testing on set-valued data

We present a general framework for kernel hypothesis testing on distributions of sets of individual examples. Sets may represent many common data sources such as groups of observations in time series, collections of words in text or a batch of images of a given phenomenon. This observation pattern, however, differs from the common assumptions required for hypothesis testing: each set differs in size, may have differing levels of noise, and also may incorporate nuisance variability, irrelevant for the analysis of the phenomenon of interest; all features that bias test decisions if not accounted for. In this paper, we propose to interpret sets as independent samples from a collection of latent probability distributions, and introduce kernel two-sample and independence tests in this latent space of distributions. We prove the consistency of these tests and observe them to outperform in a wide range of synthetic and real data experiments, where previously heuristics were needed for feature extraction and testing.
Effect of Daily Intermittent Kangaroo Mother Care on Vital Physiological Parameters of Low Birth Weight Newborns

Objective: To determine the effect of daily intermittent Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) on vital physiological parameters of low birth weight newborns. Methods: This Quasi-experimental study was conducted in the Department of Neonatal Paediatrics, King Edward Medical University / Mayo Hospital Lahore from July 2017 to March 2018. Total of 84 low birth weight (< 2500gms) neonates were recruited by non-probability convenient sampling. Kangaroo mother care was provided for 3 consecutive hours a day, for 3 consecutive days. Vital physiological parameters including temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation of every baby were recorded immediately before and after KMC. Data was analyzed through SPSS 20.0. Median values of all four vital parameters (pre and post KMC) were compared by Wilcoxon signed-rank test after applying Kolmogrov-Smirnov test for normality distribution. Results: In 84 newborns, there was no change in median body temperature after KMC on day 1, while it was + 0.25 0C on day 2 and + 0.4 0C on day 3(p-values < 0.001). There was no change in median respiratory rate after KMC on day 1 (p-value = 0.412), while it reduced by 2 breaths/min on day 2 (p-value = 0.01) and 2 breaths/min on day 3 (p-value < 0.001). There was no change in median heart rate after KMC on day 1 (p-value = 0.765), but it decreased favorably by 5 beats/min (p-value = 0.008) and 4 beats/min (p-values < 0.001) on day 2 and 3 respectively. The median oxygen saturation after KMC increased by 1% on all 3 days ( p-values < 0.001). Conclusion: Except respiratory rate and heart rate on day 1, all vital physiological parameters in low birth weight babies showed statistical improvement after KMC.
