Vibration Signal Parameter Estimation in Variable Speed: Algorithms and performance bounds

Vibration signal parameter estimation for rotating machinery diagnostics operating under variable speedconditions is considered. At first, we provide a brief survey of existing methods for Quadratic Phase Signal (QPS)parameter estimation. Then, we introduce improved solutions for the general QPS case and the Order QPS (O-QPS)case, respectively. For all considered cases (namely the QPS, O-QPS with tachometer and O-QPS without tachometer),we develop the Cramer Rao Bounds to assess and compare the estimation performance limits for each model. Finally, wecompare the performance of all considered methods and highlight, in particular, the gain of the proposed solutions.
Motivation and Strategies for Reading Comprehension in Middle School

In this study, we investigated the relationships among achievement goals, self-efficacy, reading strategies, and the self assessment of performance in 47 Middle School students with control of the variable’s history of repetition, school year, and age. The differences in the students’ self-assessment regarding the practice of recreational reading were also analyzed. The students responded to three scales of the Multidimensional Battery of Reading Comprehension Self-Regulation. Statistically significant correlations were identified among the motivational constructs, reading strategies, self-assessment, and achievement goals. We identified differences in the indices between the bivariate and partial correlations. The achievement goals were predictors of self-efficacy and reading strategies. These three constructs predicted the students’ self assessment in Portuguese language and reading comprehension. Students who practiced recreational reading presented a higher self-assessment than students who did not have this habit. It is suggested to continue the investigations on the theme and incorporate the findings of this study into the pedagogical practices that encourage reading. How to cite this article: Ferraz, A.

AUTOIMMUNE MYELOFIBROSIS ASSOCIATED WITH SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS: EXCEPTIONALLY RARE OR UNDERRECOGNIZED?

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease which may involve several organs or organ systems. SLE may also have hematological as well as joint, kidney, and central nervous system involvements. Hematological abnormalities such as anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and autoimmune hemolytic anemia are the best-known and most common hematological findings detected in SLE patients which are included in the classification criteria for SLE. Autoimmune myelofibrosis (AIMF) refers to bone marrow (BM) fibrosis (myelofibrosis) that develops in an autoimmune setting. Myelofibrosis is not among the SLE classification criteria and it is also not well-known. Current reports in the literature on SLE-associated AIMF are mostly restricted to case reports or reviews of such case reports. The occurrence of BM fibrosis in SLE patients has been explored merely in few studies which concluded that myelofibrosis is a rare symptom of SLE. Herein, we propose the hypothesis that SLE-associated AIMF is not rare and, on the contrary, it can indeed be more frequent than what is known or expected.
Effects of Training Programs on Improving the Knowledge and Skills of the Nurses in Home Health Care in Riyadh Region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 2018

This research dealt with the problem of challenges facing health workers who work with the bed ridden patient at their homes because Home health care environment differs from hospitals and other institutional environments where nurses work alone in the field with support resources available from a central office and nurses in home health care need more training concerning skills and knowledge about how to deal with patient at home.aiming at studying the effects of training programs on improving knowledge and skills of nurses in Home Health Care in Riyadh Region 2018. This study was being implemented as a quasi-experimental study for preand post-intervention on 50 nurses working at home health care in the Riyadh region. Both questionnaire sheets for pre-test and posttest for nurses' knowledge and a checklist of skills were used as data collection tools. After collecting data, they were analysed statistically by using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences Programme (SPSS) to calculate and find the results of the research also used some statistical analyses such as Chi-Square Tests, percent tables, and T-Test. The findings of the study showed that nurses improve their knowledge and skills after attending a training workshop, lecture, and on-the-job training program. The Recommendation include Conducting similar research on a wider scale to determine the impact of training based on a diversity of new teaching and training methods.Continuing training courses for nurses to become more professional and improve their skills and knowledge about home health care. Increasing training sessions on communication skills and patient education, nursing care of patient at end-of-life, insertion and care of urinary catheterization where it was observed that there is no obvious improvement in nursing skills in these three skills.
The Relationship of Emotion Intelligence, Knowledge-Sharing and Group Work Results of Vietnam Students

Teamwork is arguably a major aspect of university teaching as it gives students opportunities to apply their expertise to problem-solving skills, and to sharpen their skills for future jobs; to improve study outcomes, motivation, and attitudes toward learning. In addition, Emotion Intelligence (EI) and knowledge-sharing are said to have an impact on group work results. The goal of this study is to investigate the relationship between EI, knowledge-sharing, and group work results of university students. The research team conducted a survey that involved 372 students from universities majoring in economics in Hanoi, Vietnam. Research results confirm that EI has a positive effect on students' knowledge-sharing skills and group work results, and knowledge-sharing is the mediator in the relationship between EI and the performance of the group.
Effect of Advertisement on Children’s Purchase Intention: The Mediating Role of Advertisement Recall

Although advertisement is considered as an attention-grabbing tool, however, existing literature largely ignored whether such advertisement has any effect on children to recall the advertised products. This study thus aims to examine the effects of television advertisement on children’ purchase intention through the mediating role of advertisement recall in the Asian context. Since the target population is unknown, a non-probability sampling based convenient sampling approach was used to collect data. Data were collected from 245 parents of their 448 children in the context of confectionary products in Bangladesh. Partial least square based structural equation modeling was used to analyze the collected data. The results show that information, entertainment and product packaging displayed in advertisement significantly affect children’ advertisement recall. Advertisement recall is also found to have influence on children’ purchase intentions. Further, advertisement recall fully mediates in the relationships between information and purchase intentions; entertainment and purchase intentions; and packaging and purchase intentions. This study also offers significant theoretical and managerial implications.
Functional Capacity Needs Assessment for The Agroforestry Researchers in Agricultural Innovation System

Capacity needs assessment (CNA) is a procedure of assessing genuine existing capacity gaps within group members concerning knowledge, skills, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, assets, and supplementary elements obligatory for them to accomplish the pre-specified objectives. This study was undertaken to evaluate the existing capacity gaps among agroforestry researchers’ group through a closed and structured questionnaire with the six different topics consisting 24 different indicators to evaluate the existing capacity gaps among 30 participants involved with agroforestry research from different universities and the National Agricultural Research Institutes using MS Excel data schoring sheets during November 2018 to February 2019. The study focuses different functional capacity, like, capacity to navigate the complexity, collaboration, learning and reflection, engage in strategic and political processes. Age, sex, education, and occupation were the independent variables used for functional capacities. Among all the age groups, above 55 years old agroforestry researchers secured the highest score in most of the topics. Based on the analysis of the scores, the existence of opportunities to better know each other and improve collaboration recorded the highest score (2.59) which considered the major capacity strengths, and understanding of knowledge flows recorded the lowest score (1.65), which was major capacity weaknesses of the niche, individually. Within them, females participant reported greater responsible leadership and more cooperative among each other. This research concluded that agroforestry researchers need strong collaboration and well known to each other for minimize the capacity gaps in agroforestry research. The tudy suggested to estabilish “National agroforestry research and development Institute” for effective and efficient agroforestry research and development by the government of Bangladesh and the concern ministry.

Inspiratory and Expiratory Resistances during Exercise 2 3

47 48 Paradoxical vocal fold motion, especially during exercise, causes symptoms of 49 dyspnea in patients experiencing this condition. At present, the standard means 50 to diagnose this condition is invasive using a laryngoscope. The Airflow 51 Perturbation Device (APD) could offer a simpler means of diagnosis and 52 monitoring, but the APD must be validated with laryngoscopy. Both devices 53 require access to the mouth, and so cannot be used simultaneously. Fifteen 54 subjects exercised on a bicycle ergometer at 70% of maximum predicted heart 55 rate while breathing through the APD. Results show that APD measurements 56 made just prior and after the cessation of exercise are comparable, so APD 57 measured inspiration and expiration resistances could be made before exercise 58 ceases to compare with laryngoscope diagnoses immediately after exercise 59 cessation. 60 61

Impact of different fertilizers on soil solution and tomato growth

Soil solution is a complex and open system that has inputs and outputs of energy, this study was carried out to determine the impact of different types of fertilizers on the composition of the soil solution and the accumulation of biomass in tomato plants. Tomato plants cultivated in greenhouse in pots with calcareous soil and forest soil were used to apply three types of fertilizers: Steiner solution, solid fertilizers and vermicompost tea. Concentrations of NO3 , K, Ca, Mg, Na and SO4 2in the soil solution increased over time, registering higher ion concentration values in the solid fertilizer (625, 183, 374, 70, 49 and 161 mg L, respectively) and in the Steiner solution (500, 177, 363, 65, 69 and 235 mg L. The highest concentrations of ions in the soil solution coincided with the largest accumulation of biomass, 3 938 and 4 546 g plant in the solid fertilizer and the Steiner solution, respectively. In contrast, in the soil solution of the vermicompost tea, except for Na+, there were lower ion concentrations (94, 63, 118, 28, 75 and 98 mg L) and a lower accumulation of biomass, with an average of 1 355 g plant. The Steiner solution and solid fertilizers treatments had the highest average yield values, with 3 637 and 2 712 g plant, respectively. This result indicates that the form of application and source of the fertilizer influences the soil solution.
Governing Life and the Economy: Exploring the Role of Trust in the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract: When comparing both GDP loss and mortality across countries, it appears that countries that have managed to save more lives during the Covid-19 pandemic have also managed to save their economies better. What accounts for these stark differences in country performances? In this article, we argue that a salient feature of economic and health performance is the degree of trust populations have in their governments. We set up a heuristic analytical framework that models this relation, under particular assumptions about what drives government and individual behavior, in order to better understand the mechanisms that may be at work. We identify three key roles that trust in government may play in enforcing social distancing policies, conveying credible information for individual decision-making, and shaping government attitudes towards risk. We argue that these implications are consistent with the empirical evidence. We also discuss the relevance of other forms of trust, namely, interpersonal trust and trust in science.
Energy-dispersive spectroscopy for the quantitative determination of the major chemical elements in milk

The present preliminary study aims at the rapid quantitative determination of the major chemical elements in the ashes of raw milk samples, using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The precision of the method was satisfactory (variation coefficient ≤ 5%). The mean values (in mmol·kg-1) obtained from the analysis of 32 raw milk samples showed good agreement with data from the Brazilian and international literature: K (26.1 ± 4.6), Ca (33.8 ± 3.7), P (28.4 ± 2.7), Na (21 ± 3.3) and Mg (4.7 ± 0.5). Residual Cl concentration (19.0 ± 3.3 mmol·kg-1) was lower than expected due to incineration losses. The results suggest a good application potential of the method for other dairy products.
Effect of Customer Perception on Salesperson Owned Commitment in Customer-Salesperson Relationship

Selling products and gaining profit is the main mission of a private Sales forces with their specialized relationships can determine the fate of transactions and make companies successful in achieving their ideal goals. Buyer-seller relationships can significantly reduce the marketing costs of the organization. Therefore, the impact of sales forces in an organization is relatively high in the past. A better understanding of the sales professional dimension will lead to the formation of long-term relationships and increase a company's profitability. However, although much research has been done on the issue of company-customer relationships, there have been extensive studies on the perception of consumer behavior by vendors. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of trust, reputation, and reputation of the seller on the commitment to the seller with the mediating roles of good interaction and perceived risk. The statistical population of this study was 250 customers of a retail company. In order to collect the required data, an electronic questionnaire was designed and distributed among the statistical reporters using the available sampling method. Validity of the questionnaire using content and structural methods was determined.
How Reaching the Pitch’s Final Third is Related to Scoring Opportunities in Soccer? (Cómo la invasión del último tercio del campo se relaciona con las oportunidades en el fútbol?)

This study aimed to identify the association between the criteria related to the final third entries (how, where, and spatial pattern of interaction between teams) and the success of offensive unities in elite soccer. We analyzed 3327 final third entries from 30 matches of the 2019 Copa do Brasil (Brazilian cup, from the round of 16 to the final). To analyze the associations between criteria and the attacking outcome, we used an association chi-square test (contingency tables) with the significance level set in p <0.05. Results showed that the criteria “central corridor” (z=5.5), “ball recovery” (z=6.8), “midline vs. offensive line” (z=2.9), “offensive line vs. backline” (z=2.6), and “offensive line vs. empty zone” (z=4.0) were positively associated with successful offensive unities. We suggest that professional teams should try to achieve the final third through the central corridor, with offensive compactness, and forward passes to overcome the defensive lines. Defensively, teams should protect the central corridor, direct the opponent to the sides of the pitch, and closely defend the ball carrier. Resumen. El propósito del studio fue identificar la asociación entre los criterios de entrada en el último tercio (como, donde y configuración espacial de interacción) y el éxito de las unidades ofensivas en el fútbol de elite. Fueron analizados 3327 entradas en el ultimo tercio de 30 partidos de Copa do Brasil de 2019 (Copa del Brasil, octavas de finales a finales). Para analizar las asociaciones entre los criterios y los resultados de los ataques, se utilizó la prueba de asosicación de chi-cuadrado (tablas de contingencia) con p <0.05. Los resultados mostraron que los critérios pasillo central (z=5.5), recuperación de balón (z=6.8), línea media vs. línea adelantada (z=2.9), línea adelantada vs. línea retrasada (z=2.6), y línea adelantada vs. portero (z=4.0) se asociaron positivamente con el éxito de las unidades ofensivas. Luego, se sugiere que las equipos profesionales utilizen el pasillo central, con compactación ofensiva y usando pases que superen las líneas defensivas. Defensivamente, los equipos devem proteger el pasillo central, dirigir al oponente a los lados del campo, y presionar constantemente el portador de balón.
Social and obstetric factors associated with the way of delivery: reality of a maternity school in the interior of the northeast

The study aims to identify the social and obstetric factors associated with the mode of delivery of postpartum women attending a public maternity hospital located in the interior of the state of Sergipe, in the northeast region. This is a cross-sectional study that included 1,149 postpartum women in the immediate period, carried out between November 2016 and December 2019, who underwent functional kinesiological assessment for physical therapy care. Descriptive analysis and binary logistic regression were performed using the mode of delivery as the dependent variable. The results showed that the prevalence of cesarean deliveries was of 49.24% (n=565). Most puerperal women were young, married, primiparous and with elementary education. Vaginal delivery was associated with postpartum women with married marital status (OR, 10.463; 95%CI, 2.367-46.254), multipregnancy (OR, 9.54; 95% CI, 7.19-12.65), multiparous (OR, 8.79; 95%CI, 6.66-11.62), with no pain (OR, 2.08; 95%CI, 1.63-2.65), no comorbidities (OR,1.69, 95%CI, 1.23-2.28), number of prenatal consultations from one to seven (OR, 1.534; 95%CI, 1.18-1.98), and without difficulty to breastfeed (OR, 1.373, 95%CI, 1.04-1.80). The cesarean delivery route was associated with abortion in primiparae (OR, 1.69; 95%CI, 1.192-2.415) and education at the elementary level. (OR, 2.99; 95%CI, 1.403-6.411). It is concluded that social factors (education level and marital status), obstetric factors (parity, number of pregnancies, comorbidities, obstetric care) and immediate puerperal complaints (pain and difficulty in breastfeeding) were associated with the modes of delivery.
Structural equation modeling of internet of things (IoT) adoption for Indonesian Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes)

This study seeks to examine the antecedents of Internet of Things (IoT) intention and adoption of Indonesian village-owned enterprises (Badan Usaha Milik Desa, BUMDes) by applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The respondents comprised 237 managers and staff of BUMDes in Aceh, Indonesia. A questionnaire was designed to examine perceived usefulness of IoT on the product and service empowerment, perceived ease of use of IoT, and perceived credibility on IoT, intention to use the technology, and adoption of IoT to the community empowerment in the village setting. The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The generated model of IoT showed three significant direct paths between perceived usefulness, perceived credibility on the IoT, and intention as well as between intention and adoption. The re-specified model of IoT adoption indicated two significant direct paths (perceived usefulness to intention and intention to adoption) and introduced three new paths (direct paths from perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived credibility to adoption). The final model also established partial mediating effects of intention between Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, and IoT adoption. This study suggests the relevance of TAM to explain IoT adoption in Indonesian village-owned companies.
The Theoretical Value of the Hubble Constant Ho and Unification of the Fundamental Forces of Nature

The Hubble constant Ho represents the speed of expansion of the universe and various cosmological observations and modeling methods were utilized by astronomers for a century to pin down its exact value. Determining Ho from cosmological observations is a long and tedious process requiring highly accurate datasets. To circumvent this need, a simple theoretical approach is introduced in this study which uses the concept of gravitational weakening and seismic-induced recession. As tremors occur among celestial objects, their gravitational fields would also change. This resulted in a fundamental relation of Ho and the computed rate of recession that gives a theoretical value for Ho = 69.921 Km/s/Mpc. Using the newly discovered seismic-induced gravitational weakening and time dilation, it is possible that various astrophysical methods using different measurement methods would converge to this theoretical Ho value when cosmological distances and time delay measurements are corrected with the simple formulas we derived. The new model assumes that, as quakes occur in celestial objects, luminosity-induced acceleration and high-energy collision of protons and electrons may produce a massive number of neutrinos, quarks and other subatomic particles. Furthermore, the fine structure constant was found to be inversely proportional to Ho-squared and that the fine-structure constant obtained in this study gives a new physical interpretation of α. New relations for the speed of light, orbital velocity, gravitational force and the Hubble constant were further derived from the new recession constant using approximate relations for the Newtonian and electric force constant. This resulted in a modified gravitational law that is both repulsive and attractive and a theoretical explanation of the phenomenon of light-induced gravitation analogous to the electromagnetic force where photon is the force-carrier. Finally, the fundamental forces of gravitation, electromagnetism and strong nuclear force are now unified.
