The interpretations of scalar implicatures, presuppositions, and implicated presupposition by Thai children with autism

Using the negated universal quantifier not every, the study investigates the interpretations of scalar implicatures, lexical presuppositions, and implicated presuppositions by Thai children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs; n = 32), compared to their typically-developing (TD) peers (n = 70) and adults (n = 40). The results provide further empirical evidence to the literature (Chevallier et al. 2010, Hochstein et al. 2017, Pijnacker et al. 2009) that not only do adolescents with ASD perform on par with TD adolescents, children with ASD are also age-appropriate in their performance on deriving scalar implicatures. Despite the children with ASD’s ability to compute scalar implicatures, they still tend to give more logical, literal responses, compared to their peers. Compared to adults, both children with ASD and TD children still have a higher tendency to rely on the logical meaning rather than pragmatically inferred meaning. No additive effects of implicated presuppositions are found in any group of the participants.
First synthesis of the economic costs of biological invasions in Japan

Despite the large body of knowledge recognising the impact of biological invasions on biodiversity, their economic impact has been less evaluated. However, the associated economic costs ought to provide useful information on many different aspects to prevent and manage invasions. Here, we describe the economic costs of biological invasions in Japan using InvaCost, a recently-published global database on monetary costs extracted from English and non-English sources, as well as a complementary search, thereby filling a gap in regional knowledge. We focused on the following four dimensions when analysing the economic costs of biological invasions: damage to biodiversity, damage to human livelihood, management for biodiversity and management for human livelihood. Interestingly, there was no information about biological invasion costs for Japan in English, but the Japanese search and our additional survey provided a total of 630 cost entries, with a total economic cost of 728 million USD (2017 value, equivalent to 62 billion JPY). These entries appeared in 33 documents and corresponded to a total of 54 species. We showed that: 1) damage costs from biological invasions tend not to be assessed as frequently as management costs and are more underestimated; 2) despite the numerous entries, an overwhelmingly limited amount of the management budget was allocated to biodiversity conservation compared to protecting human livelihood; 3) budgets have been intensively invested in invasive species management on small islands, which reflects the vulnerability of small island ecosystems and economies to biological invasions; 4) the recorded costs still seem to be greatly underestimated, mainly due to the lack of recording (and potentially limited access to recorded cost information). These findings are not only specific to Japan, but may also be widely applicable to most other countries. The future recording of economic costs will help to close the gap between actual and recorded costs, leading to more realistic guidelines for tackling biological invasions.

PRODUCTIVE ZAKAT DISTRIBUTION MODEL IN BAZNAS OF WEST JAVA PROVINCE AND RUMAH ZAKAT OF BANDUNG

This study aimed at comparing the productive zakat distribution model of BAZNAS of West Java Province and Rumah Zakat, their constraints, and efforts conducted in optimizing productive zakat distribution. The study used comparative descriptive method. The results proposed that the productive zakat distribution model of BAZNAS was more varied than at Rumah Zakat’s. BAZNAS conducted traditional consumptive, creative consumptive, traditional productive, and creative productive model using the system of in kind, Al-Qardhul Hasan, and Mudharabah (Revolving Fund System). Meanwhile, there was only one program at Rumah Zakat, namely working capital program to MSMEs handed over directly to Mustahiq, including creative productive zakat distribution. The obstacles faced by BAZNAS was limitations of Mustahiq’s condition so that it took a long time to increase them to Muktafi and then Muzakki. Besides mindset and condition, Rumah Zakat faced capital and market obstacles. Mustahiq’s training and assistance programs were efforts made by these agencies.
JM-JABF210069 509..521

Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for adults with chronic and acute illnesses informs health and economic policy for pandemic recovery. Our primary aim was to compare HRQoL of 3 illness groups of outpatient adults: those with diabetes, those who survived a hospitalization for COVID-19, and those who had a respiratory virus not COVID-19. The secondary aim was to compare the group domain summary scores to the referent general population. Methods: We identified the 3 groups from the electronic medical record and invited them to complete the SF-36 survey. Analysis of variance and post hoc testing was used for univariate analyses followed by linear regression. Results: One hundred thirty-two adults completed the survey. The groups differed least for physical functioning and most for emotional/mental health. The hospitalized group had the greatest limitation in role due to emotional issues. All groups had significantly lower social functioning scores than the general population. Linear regression showed lower HRQoL domain score in role limitations due to emotional issues adjusted for age, race, and gender for the hospitalized group. Conclusion: SF-36 scores show the decrease in HRQoL that outpatient adults have suffered, mostly in the emotional domain, regardless of illness group during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Assessment of Knowledge and Attitude Among College Students Toward Umbilical Cord Blood and its Banking

Introduction: Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is a good source of haematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells. UCB stem cells are used in treatment of a variety of blood and bone marrow diseases, blood cancers, metabolic disorders and immune deficiencies. Objective: This study aimed in investigating college students’ knowledge and attitude about UCB and UCB banking. Methods: It is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study was conducted in East West College of Management, Bangalore, India from September 2018 to August 2019. A total 80 college students were selected by random sampling techniques. There were self-structured questionnaires used to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding UCB and UCB banking. The data analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS version 21. Results: The maximum number of participants were from age group 19-21 years followed by age group 16-18 years. The overall knowledge score was 21.05±5.11 with mean percentage score of 60.14. The 71.25% (57) of subjects had moderately adequate knowledge; whereas, 25% (20) of subjects showed adequate knowledge. Similarly, the overall attitude score of subjects was 61.5±5.17 with a mean percentage score of 51.25%. Out of the total participants, 90% (72) had neutral attitude, 10% (8) exhibited positive attitude and none of the subjects exhibited negative attitude towards UCB banking. There was no association found between knowledge and sociodemographic variables and between attitude and sociodemographic variables. Conclusion: The majority of the respondents had moderate knowledge and maximum had neutral atti­tude on umbilical cord blood and umbilical cord blood banking.
Farm Machine and Female Labour Participation A Study of Indian Districts

Indian labour market has been witnessing a paradoxical situation in recent years. Despite registering higher economic development the female participation in economic activities has shown deceleration. The researchers in this field have identified several determinants and explanations at aggregate level. The present study is one of the few attempts to examine the trend of female participation in agriculture at district level. Taking number of tractor in a district as a proxy for farm machination, the study confirms an inverse relationship between farm machines and female participation in agriculture. It resolves the paradox in terms of lower women participation in agriculture sector.
Exploring the Use of Deep Learning with Crowdsourcing to Annotate Images

We investigate what, if any, benefits arise from employing hybrid algorithm-crowdsourcing approaches over conventional approaches of relying exclusively on algorithms or crowds to annotate images. We introduce a framework that enables users to investigate different hybrid workflows for three popular image analysis tasks: image classification, object detection, and image captioning. Three hybrid approaches are included that are based on having workers: (i) verify predicted labels, (ii) correct predicted labels, and (iii) annotate images for which algorithms have low confidence in their predictions. Deep learning algorithms are employed in these workflows since they offer high performance for image annotation tasks. Each workflow is evaluated with respect to annotation quality and worker time to completion on images coming from three diverse datasets (i.e., VOC, MSCOCO, VizWiz). Inspired by our findings, we offer recommendations regarding when and how to employ deep learning with crowdsourcing to achieve desired quality and efficiency for image annotation.
Antihyperglycemic, Endothelial protection and Toxicity study of Basil Leaves Extract on Diabetic Rats

BACKGROUND: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) remains a serious debilitating global health problem in lowand middleincome countries with rising incidence of DM-related complications due to ineffective Diabetic control. Herbs of the Ocimum family, especially Ocimum basilicum or basil leaves, have been investigated for their antihyperglycemic properties. AIM: This study aimed to demonstrate the antihyperglycemic effect, endothelial protection, and toxicity of basil leaves on Diabetes-induced Wistar rats in vivo. METHODS: Streptozosin injections were used to induced diabetes in male Wistar rats. Basil leaves extracts 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg BW were introduced to diabetic rats. Blood glucose levels (BGL), soluble Advanced Glycation End, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-2 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Kidney and liver functions together with the histopathology reports were reported for acute, subacute, and chronic toxicity studies. RESULTS: Basil leaves exposure significantly lowers BGL (p < 0.00), but yielded no statistically significant difference between extract doses. Hemostatic parametersshowed significantly reduced endothelial dysfunction markers for all doses compared to control. Toxicity study yielded no differences between control and any doses of basil leaves in all acute, subacute, and chronic toxicity studies. Histopathological findings exhibited no evidence of tissue damage on the liver, kidney, heart, pancreas, lung, and lymph tissues in either control or experiment rats. CONCLUSIONS: Basil leaves exposure were positively associated with lower glucose level, lower endothelial activation markers on Diabetic rats. The toxicity and histopathological results of the extract are on par with control. Edited by: Sinisa Stojanoskis Citation: Widjaja SS, Rusdiana R, Savira M, Amelia R.

Nursing student community engagement barriers, facilitators and satisfaction: Perceptions of community champions

Nursing students could benefit professionally by participating in community engagement, but barriers to student involvement in community engagement exist. Community Champions, a nursing student-led, faculty-mentored service-learning group, promotes local outreach and engagement with a variety of community initiatives for nursing students. The purpose of this study was to examine former and current Community Champions perceptions of the barriers and facilitators to participating in community engagement initiatives, as well as their satisfaction with the community engagement initiatives. The study used a 14-item survey, consisting of both Likert-scale items and open-ended questions. Of the 130 Community Champions invited to complete the survey, 40 Community Champions responded (30.8% response rate). Quantitative responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and qualitative responses were reviewed for themes to generate future recommendations for program improvement. Respondents rated Community Champions highly and reported personal and professional benefits to community engagement. Reasons for program satisfaction were synthesized into “opportunities for interactions with diverse community members”, “stress relief”, and “professional development”; reasons for program dissatisfaction were summarized as “disorganization of community sites”, “competing academic priorities”, and “lack of information”. Academic student programs that engage the community can positively impact both the community partners and university students.
Deployment of the C-band radar Poldirad on Barbados during EUREC4A

Abstract. The German polarimetric C-band weather radar Poldirad (Polarization Diversity Radar) was deployed for the international field campaign EUREC4A (ElUcidating the RolE of Cloud-Circulation Coupling in ClimAte) on the island of Barbados. Poldirad was operated on Barbados from February until August 2020. Focus of the installation was monitoring clouds and precipitation in the trade wind region east of Barbados. Different scanning modes were used with a temporal sequence of 5 minutes and a maximum range of 375 km. In addition to built-in quality control performed by the radar signal processor, it was found that the copoloar correlation coefficient ρHV can be used to remove contamination of radar products by sea clutter. Radar images were available in real-time for all campaign participants and onboard of research aircraft. Examples of mesoscale precipitation patterns, rain rate accumulation, diurnal cycle, and vertical distribution are given to show the potential of the radar measurements for further studies on the life cycle of precipitating shallow cumulus clouds and other related aspects. Poldirad data from the EUREC4A campaign are available on the EUREC4A AERIS database: https://doi.org/10.25326/218 (Hagen et al., 2021a) for raw data and https://doi.org/10.25326/217 (Hagen et al., 2021b) for gridded data.
Digital centralized water meter using 433 MHz LoRa

Received Mar 7, 2021 Revised Jun 14, 2021 Accepted Jun 22, 2021 The local water supply corporation in Indonesia only uses analog water meter so that the monitoring of water usage information was conducted by officers manually. Officers must physically monitor the value in the customer's water meter that can lead to unreliable reading and ineffectiveness of process. Smart meter is one of the smart city metrics which could overcome this problem. This research uses the flow sensor to design and incorporate automated water meters. The measured value is then passed via the 433 MHz LoRa, a lowpower wide-area network protocol, to the local hub, then forwarded to the server via the internet based cellular network. Results show that our proposed system's accuracy hit 97.31% at an ideal distance of 200 meters from customer to the local hub. The customer's water usage could be tracked in real time with our proposed system. Furthermore, the original water meter need not to be replaced which may minimize capital costs for this system.
Investigating the Effect of Risk Disclosure Quality on Investors’ Reaction in the Egyptian Capital Market

This paper aims to examine the association between the change in the firm’s risk disclosure level and investors’ reaction in the Egyptian capital market. An event study was conducted over two years (2018 and 2019) to capture how investors respond to the Egyptian firm’s reported risk information. The findings revealed that the Egyptian firms’ risk disclosure did not provide new information to the capital market. Hence, investors did not change their expectations regarding the firm's future cash flows and their trading reaction in the capital market.
Antenatal care policy in high-income countries with a universal health system: a scoping review.

The availability, effectiveness, and access to antenatal care are directly linked with good maternal and neonatal outcomes, making antenatal care an important determinant in health. But to be effective, care must always be appropriate, not excessive, not insufficient. Perinatal outcomes vary within and between countries, raising questions about practices, the use of best evidence in clinical decisions and the existence of clear and updated guidance. Through a scoping review methodology, this study aimed to map the available antenatal care policies for low-risk pregnant women in high-income countries with a universal health system founded on the Beveridge Model. Following searches on the main databases and grey literature, the authors identified and analysed ten antenatal care policies: Australia, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Some policies were over 10 years old, some recommendations did not present a rationale or context, others were outdated, or were simply different approaches in the absence of strong evidence. Whilst some recommendations were ubiquitous, others differed either in the recommendation provided, the timing, or the frequency. Similarly, we found wide variation in the methods/strategy used to support the recommendations provided. These results confirms that best evidence is not always assimilated into policies and clinical guidance. Further research crossing these differences with perinatal outcomes and evaluation of cost could be valuable to optimise guidance on antenatal care. Similarly, some aspects of care need further rigorous studies to obtain evidence of higher quality to inform recommendations.
Restoration techniques of fractured endodontically treated teeth

According to studies in the literature, root canal treatment and restoration of endodontically treated teeth have been reported as two separate clinical procedures although many aspects of both procedures are similar. Conducting restoration procedures following endodontic treatment has been reported to be so important as the first obturation of the root canal, and it has been reported with many advantages and favorable events, including eradication and minimizing the presence of bacteria and microorganisms, which might induce serious complications to the affected teeth. Many investigations have been published ABSTRACT

Association of the Intronic Polymorphism rs3773364 A>G in Synapsin-2 Gene with Epilepsy Patients in Iraq

Epilepsy is a central nervous system disease which is characterized by a recurrent seizure that distinguishes it from other similar diseases. Epilepsy may occur due to defects in genes that encode some receptors in the brain. For this reason, this study aimed to understand the association between Synapsin-2 (SYN2) gene and susceptibility to epilepsy. Blood samples were collected from 40 volunteers, including 30 patients suffering epilepsy with an age range of 26-49 years old and 10 healthy individuals with an age range of 25-53 years old. The study sample involved 16 males and 14 females with epilepsy along with 6 males and 4 females healthy subjects. DNA was isolated from the volunteers for PCR-RFLP assay. Genotyping of rs3773364 A>G SYN2 was conducted and the results refer to a highly significant difference in the distribution of AG genotype (P=0.0001), while there is no significant difference in the distribution of AA and GG genotypes, with p values of 0.1702 and 1.00, respectively. The results also showed that gender did not significantly affect the results when comparing patients with the control (p=0.0934). Our findings indicates that SYN2 rs3773364 A>G confers risk to epilepsy and may be implicated in epileptogenesis.
