Modeling Cutting Forces in High-Speed Turning using Artificial Neural Networks

Cutting forces are very important variables in machining performance because they affect surface roughness, cutting tool life, and energy consumption. Reducing electrical energy consumption in manufacturing processes not only provides economic benefits to manufacturers but also improves their environmental performance. Many factors, such as cutting tool material, cutting speed, and machining time, have an impact on cutting forces and energy consumption. Recently, many studies have investigated the energy consumption of machine tools; however, only a few have examined high-speed turning of plain carbon steel. This paper seeks to analyze the effects of cutting tool materials and cutting speed on cutting forces and Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) during dry high-speed turning of AISI 1045 steel. For this purpose, cutting forces were experimentally measured and compared with estimates of predictive models developed using polynomial regression and artificial neural networks. The resulting models were evaluated based on two performance metrics: coefficient of determination and root mean square error. According to the results, the polynomial models did not reach 70 % in the representation of the variability of the data. The cutting speed and machining time associated with the highest and lowest SEC of CT5015-P10 and GC4225-P25 inserts were calculated. The lowest SEC values of these cutting tools were obtained at a medium cutting speed. Also, the SEC of the GC4225 insert was found to be higher than that of the CT5015 tool.
Plasmablastic lymphoma of nose and para-nasal sinuses in an immunocompetent patient

PbL is a rare and aggressive neoplasm with morphologic and immunophenotypic characteristics that overlap with aggressive large B-cell lymphomas and plasma cell neoplasms. It constitutes a sub-group of lymphomas with heterogeneous clinical, histological and genetic features. The diagnosis of PbL is a challenge to the pathologist and clinician due to its rarity and lack of specific and optimal treatment guidelines.
The Asian Population: 2010

According to the 2010 Census, the Asian population grew faster than any other race group in the United States between 2000 and 2010. This was observed for the population who reported Asian alone (increased 43 percent), as well as for the population who reported Asian alone or in combination with another race (increased 46 percent). The Asian population continued to be concentrated in the West, and the Chinese population was the largest detailed Asian group.
Count Data Modeling using MCMC-Based Learing of ﬁnite EMSD Mixture Models

Statistical approaches are widely used to analyze and model data. Among the successful statistical approaches, ﬁnite mixture models have received a lot attention with their ﬂexibility and ease of use. There are already many ﬁnite mixture models to deal with this task, but Exponential Multinomial Scaled Dirichlet (EMSD) has recently show higher accuracy model compared to other state-of-the-art generative models for count data clustering. Thus, in this paper, we present Bayesian learning method for a ﬁnite mixture model of Exponential Multinomial Scaled Dirichlet (EMSD) distribution. We developed the estimation method based on a Markov Chain Monte Carlo with Metropolis-Hastings algorithm for learning this model parameters. This proposed method is veriﬁed by CON-19 information sentiment clustering and a comparison with other approaches with different models for count data
The Role of Motivation and Professional Competence in Improving Teacher Performance

This study aims to analyze the role of work motivation and professional competence in improving the performance of Vocational High School teachers in Soppeng Regency, as well as which variables are most dominant in influencing the improvement of teacher performance. Researchers took a sample of 72 teachers from five vocational schools in Soppeng Regency with the sampling technique, namely random sampling. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS software. The results showed that work motivation has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, meaning that if the work motivation is higher, the teacher's performance will also increase. In addition, professional competence also has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, so that if professional competence is getting better, teacher performance will also increase. Researchers also found that work motivation is the most dominant variable affecting the improvement of teacher performance in schools.
NEW ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AND LOCAL COMMUNITY WELFARE: EVIDENCE FROM TOLLER DOOR IN MALANG OF INDONESIA

The purpose of this study aims to explore the impact caused by the construction of toll roads from the four access gates built by the government and community economies in the area. Using the quantitative description method and the Logit test with a sample of 200 respondents from the four Malang-Pandaan exit gate locations, the findings indicate that the impact of this infrastructure has been seen from changes in the level of income and expenditure that increased after the construction of the exit toll. However, an enhance in the expenditure or consumption level of local communities has a less significant impact, especially in terms of consumption of basic household needs and asset ownership. This implicates that infrastructure development built by the government has not given maximum results as expected by local communities in terms of improving the welfare of surrounding communities.
Thin layer chromatographic detection of enrofloxacin antibiotic residues in poultry tissues

Antibiotic residues remain in edible portion of meat animals that have been treated with antibiotics. The aim of this study was to detect enrofloxacin residue after discriminate and indiscriminate administration and investigate the effect of enrofloxacin in growth of poultry. 18 broilers DOC (Cobb-500) were collected & reared up to 31 days. On day 16, they were randomly divided into 3 groups, namely Group–A (Control group), Group-B (Discriminate group) and Group-C (Indiscriminate group). Each group contains 6 birds. The discriminate and indiscriminate groups were treated with antibiotic, enrofloxacin. In Group-B withdrawal period was followed and treatment was stopped before 7 days of sacrifice. On the other hand, withdrawal period was not maintained in indiscriminate group and antibiotic treatment was continued until the day of sacrifice. Body weight was recorded daily in the morning. On 31st day mean body weight was highest in Group-C (1901.17 ± 15.22gm) and lowest body weight was in Group-A (1453.33 ± 26.39gm). The differences among mean weight gain were statistically significant (P<0.005) in both discriminate & indiscriminate group compared to control group. Test results found in TLC showed that in discriminate antibiotic group (Group-B) 50% liver samples, 33.33% kidney and 16.67% fat samples were enrofloxacin positive. No sample of thigh muscle, breast muscle and spleen was positive. In indiscriminate antibiotic group (group-C) all the samples were positive in case of liver, kidney, fat and spleen samples. Only 33.33% and 16.67 % samples were positive in case of fat and thigh muscle samples. All the samples of control group (Group-A) were negative. Overall, the present study documented the widespread abuse of enrofloxacin and failure to implement the recommended withdrawal period will undeniably leads to deposition of residues in broiler tissues.

Predictors of Remission in Lupus Nephritis Patients

Background: Lupus nephritis (LN) is a common and serious manifestation of SLE, occurring in more than half of patients with SLE during their course of illness, in 10–25% of such patients, kidney disorder progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Objective: To determine the predictors of remission in patients with biopsy-proven lupus nephritis, and to assess the long-term renal remission rate in our lupus nephritis patients. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective observational study carried out at the Rheumatology and Nephrology Units, Internal Medicine Department, Menoufia and Mansoura Universities Hospitals, Egypt for a 1-year duration between 1 June 2019 and 1 June 2020. A total of 60 patients with biopsy-proven LN were studied. Results: In the current study, after six months of follow-up, about two-thirds of patients achieved remission. The urinary protein creatinine ratio (UPCR) of 4.9 g/g, systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) of 20 and Hb of 8.8 g/dl at the third month are valuable for predicting remission at the sixth month in active lupus nephritis. On multivariate analysis, serum creatinine (SCr) at the time of diagnosis is the only independent predictor of remission (complete or partial) at 6 months. According to the receiver operating characteristic curve, the cut-off value of SCr ≤ 2.9 mg/dL with 100% specificity and 98 % sensitivity was a predictor for renal remission. Conclusion: The UPCR of 4.9 g/g, SLEDAI of 20 and Hb of 8.8 g/dl at the third month are valuable for predicting remission at the sixth month in active lupus nephritis. Serum creatinine level ≤2.9 mg/dL at the time of diagnosis was the only independent predictor of complete remission at 6 months.
Effect of salinity and drought stress on morphological and biochemical properties of two Iranian fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) populations

In this study, micro propagation of two Iranian fenugreek populations and their morphological and biochemical responses to salinity and drought stresses in in vitro culture condition were conducted using factorial experiment in a completely randomized design in three replications. Different explant type (terminal bud, cotyledon and epicotyledon explant) were cultured in MS medium contain different concentration of plant growth regulators such as kin (0, 0.5 and 1 mg / l) and 2,4-D (0.5, 1 and 2 mg / l). Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1 mg/l kinetin and 2 mg/l 2,4-D showed the highest callus proliferation rate per explants in both populations. The highest amount of callus volume was obtained from the explants of the terminal bud. Proliferated calli from terminal bud explant were green and yellowish, from cotyledon were yellowish to white with soft texture, and the cotyledons were greenish and compact. The results of salinity stresses with different concentrations of sodium chloride (0, 70 and 120 mM) and drought stress with polyethylene glycol (0, 5 and 10%) showed that both stresses decreased callus growth and increased total protein, proline, catalase, peroxidase and trigonelin content in both populations. Trigonelin measurement showed that ‘Borazjan’ papulation had higher trigonelin content, in vitro, than ‘Ardestan’ papulation.
Evaluation of scatter suppression algorithm for X-ray exposure of soft tissue equivalent phantoms over nominal energy range using FLUKA code

Soft tissue imaging is heavily impaired by streaks and cupping effects associated with X-ray scatter. Quality of images from projection imaging may be improved by the use of enhanced antiscatter grids’ designs with potency to reject significant scatter. However, optimization of grid characteristics requires investigation to improve diagnostic image quality. Transmitted scatter spatially distributed degrades images engendering need for effective scatter correction protocols. This study investigated the pre-scan scatter suppression algorithm for X-ray exposure of soft tissue equivalent phantoms over nominal energy range. Adipose tissue and polymethyl methacrylate phantoms of cross-sectional area (30 x 30) cm 2 and of varying thickness from 2 to 8 cm in 1 cm increments were successively exposed using energy ranging between 20–50 kVp. Monte Carlo simulation based on FLUKA code and flair interface was used to generate an input file for execution. The source simulated five cycles of ten million photons each of annular X-ray photon beam of radius, r = 0.5 cm at fixed field of view (FOV) through anti-scatter grid on to gadolinium oxysulfide detector. The transmitted total, scatter and primary estimates were evaluated with and without grids over varying phantom thicknesses, energy and grid design features. The simulated and experimental results obtained were comparable and in agreement with previous literature. Pearson’s correlation coefficients for scatter fraction and scatter to primary ratio were 0.983 and 0.981, respectively. The strong correlation between simulation and experiment results indicated correctness in methodology and protocol. The algorithms and protocols in the simulation would be appropriate for designing grids with enhanced scatter rejection capabilities.
Some Nutrients Availability in Rice Soil under Utilization of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers

A field experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of Sakha Agricultural Research Station; Kafr El-Sheikh, throughout the summer season of 2017 and 2018 to examine the nutrients status in rice soils under the utilization of organic and inorganic fertilizers. Egyptian hybrid rice one (EHR1) variety was used. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with four replications, where main plots were assigned to NPK fertilizer treatment and sub-plots were allocated to organic material treatments. The NPK fertilizer’s treatments were full dose, 2/3, 1/3 of NPK recommended doses and control (without any mineral fertilizers application). The recommended doses of NPK are 165 kg N ha, 36 kg P2O5 ha and 58 kg K2O ha. The organic material treatments were control (without any organic materials application), rice straw compost, farm yard manure, chopped rice straw and mixture of chopped rice straw and farm yard manure (1:1). The application rate of the organic materials was 7 tons ha for each treatment. The studied characteristics were the available ammonium (ppm), nitrate (ppm), phosphorus (ppm), potassium (ppm), zinc (ppm) as well as grain yield (t ha). Soil samples were collected at 30, 45 and 60 days after transplanting (DAT) and after rice harvest during the two study seasons. The available nutrients in soil tended to increase as NPK fertilizer levels increased and by the application of organic materials. Available NH4 markedly increased after flooding reached its high peak at 30 DAT and then declined to the minimum values at harvest. The high peak of NO3 was observed at 30 DAT, then started to decline afterward and reached its minimum values at harvest. The highest amount of available K was obtained at 45 DAT and then decreased continuously with crop growth, reaching the lowest values at harvest time. Current data reveal that the maximum available Zn was found at 30 DAT. The application of a full recommended dose of NPK mineral fertilizer combined with compost or farm yard manure and compost alone produced the highest values of grain yield.
Fetomaternal outcome of pregnancy complicated by first and second trimester vaginal bleeding

Background: To determine the effects of vaginal bleeding occurring in first and second trimester on maternal and fetal outcome. Methods: The present prospective observational study was conducted at department of obstetrics and gynecology, Geetanjali medical college and hospital, Udaipur and 90 Patients with first and second trimester pregnancy (till 24 weeks of gestation) presented with the complaint of vaginal bleeding at antenatal clinic or emergency were included in this study. Results: In our study the result showed that bleeding in early pregnancy is associated with high rate of abortion (32.22%) in which first trimester abortion constitute 44.83% while second trimester abortion constitute around 55.17%. Outcome observed in women having bleeding with SCH 58.4% had caesarean delivery followed by 25% had vaginal delivery, 16.7% had preeclampsia, 8.3% had PPROM and 5.6% had APH. Similarly, in women having bleeding without SCH 64% had caesarean delivery followed by 36% had vaginal delivery, 12% had preeclampsia, PPROM and APH in 8% each and also women having bleeding with SCH, 37.1% had low birth babies, 22.8% had NICU admission and 8.6% had birth asphyxia. Similarly, in women having bleeding without SCH, 16% had low birth babies, 16% had NICU admission and 8% had birth asphyxia. Conclusions: First and second trimester vaginal bleeding is an independent risk factor for an adverse obstetric outcome and this risk factor should be taken into consideration when deciding upon antenatal surveillance and management.
The Reality to Islamic Behavior and The Quality of Human Resources Performance at The Zakat Fund in Lebanon - Dar Al Fatwa

This research aims to reveal the level of Islamic behavior and the quality of the performance of human resources at the Zakat Fund in Lebanon Dar Al Fatwa, from the point of view of human resources who were estimated at 125 individuals who served in the institution during the period of obtaining the ISO international quality certificate and to compare the results with some partial studies. A questionnaire was designed and analyzed. It expresses the level of Islamic behavior through its four domains related to its ethical system represented in behavior towards the Almighty God, towards the self, and towards others. Its dimensions were chosen through politeness with God Almighty, integrity, humility, and environmental behavior, within the framework of three main axes that are the work environment, the personal environment and Islamic behavior training. The quality of human resources performance has been measured through the dimensions of the ServQual scale, which expresses the quality of performance. The SPSS program was used to analyze the respondents' estimates. This research clarifies the Islamic view on the necessity to balance behavior and not to contradict it between the work environment, and the personal environment, and the importance of behavioral training. It also points out the need to work on standards of behavior in order to focus on improving performance. This paper attempts to provide a measure to verify the level of quality of performance, and the level of Islamic behavior in line with Islam in its behavioral view that stresses the homogeneity of behavior in the workplace, the personal environment, and Ulum Islamiyyah Journal | Vol.33 No.1 April 2021 56 behavioral training. This measure will support the civilized view of Islam and its institutions and alleviate Islamophobia.
Financial Inclusion and Poverty Alleviation in Kenya: Effects of Mobile Loan Interest Rates on the Financial Performance of SMEs in Urban Informal Settlements

The aim of this study is to assess the effect of interest rates on the financial performance of SMEs in urban informal settlements in Kenya. This study adopts the descriptive survey design. Data were collected from 120 SMEs in the 6 wards of Mathare Sub-County. Data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires. It was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings show that low-interest rates could influence the propensity of SMEs to apply for these loans. The ability to pay mobile loans without problems due to low interest rates enhanced the performance of the respondents’ businesses. This goes on to contribute to poverty alleviation in urban informal settlements through enhanced access to capital; one of the goals of the world bank. This has further ripple effects since it can contribute to income diversification for the inhabitants of poor urban areas. The following recommendations were made. The government should also reduce interest rates to lower the cost of mobile phone interests as well as the interest rates of other loan products. Mobile loan lenders should also ensure that their loan products are affordable for the urban poor.
Region of origin and perceived quality of wine: an assimilation-contrast approach

Wine quality perception involves both intrinsic and extrinsic attributes and is related to consumer liking and acceptability of a product. Th e main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the actual role of the region of origin cue on the experienced, expected, and perceived quality of wine, as well as on the discrepancies between them. Using an experimental design set up, real tasting sessions were applied to elicit consumer quality perception in three diff erent information conditions: (1) blind tasting (2) labelled tasting (region informed evaluation); and (3) wine tasting under full information. In total, 136 wine consumers stated their preferences through liking score. Th e results from the assimilation-contrast framework show that region of origin aff ects the experienced, expected, and perceived quality, as well as the agreement between them. Th us, the region of origin may off er a good predictive value of the product, increasing the consumer expectations. Th ese results have important implications for producers as they demonstrate that the region of origin may be used as a brand.
A home-based exercise program during the quarantine applied to a recreational female futsal team

Introduction: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, preventive measures to reduce infection risk were adopted, such as social distancing and closing commercial activities. Therefore, stay active at home is recommended to maintain physical and mental health during this period. Objective: To verify the effect of a home-based exercise program during the quarantine due to COVID-19 in motivation and physical performance in recreational female futsal team. Methods: Nine participants (26.0 ± 4.7 years old) performed four weeks of full-body training using a circuit resistance training format, three times per week. Participants performed physical tests (e.g., long jump, abdominal, and upper limb resistance) pre-and post-exercise-program. In each session were evaluated the training motivation (Likert Scale 0 to 4) and global effort perception (Borg 6-20). Results: Only five participants reached 80% of the training sessions. Current participants reported lower motivation for training through the weeks and perceived a “moderate” intensity. The performance in all physical tests increased. Conclusion: The results suggest that the home-based exercise program during the quarantine due to COVID-19 was sufficient to increase the physical performance in the recreational female futsal team. However, the quarantine period may impair the program’s adherence and a decrease in training motivation. Models of protocols based on psychophysiological responses are encouraged to improving adherence to the home-based exercise program, especially during the quarantine period.
