DESIGN OF ERGONOMIC CHAIR FOR GRINDING OPERATION

One of essential production activities is grinding process. This process mainly involves the constant activity of eroding a surface to be smoother or more evenly, cutting a workpiece, creating profiles like angles and arches, sharpening a cutting tool, and finishing a final product. Meanwhile, there is no study evaluating the risk levels of workers working on grinding, and there is no unique chair specifically designed for the process. Therefore, this study aims to assess the risk levels of a grinding worker and to propose the design of an ergonomic chair that is adjustable, comfortable, durable, and keen to be used. The risk levels of the grinding workers were evaluated using REBA, while the ergonomic chair design was based on anthropometric data taken from 4 grinding workers in Bantul, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The researchers selected a buttock-popliteal length (seat depth), lower leg length (popliteal height) and hip breadth sitting as anthropometric measures to make a chair design for the grinding operations. After that, the existing adjustable chair designs were also considered and evaluated to get better adjustable-ergonomic chair design for the grinding operations. The results show that it is important that the stakeholders improve most of the grinding operations of the workers, especially by using an ergonomic chair design for grinding operation that is adjustable, comfortable, durable, and reliable. The chair height can be adjusted from 361-414 mm to adapt with the users, and the variation in product height aims to prevent bending on the back. Finally, the grinding chair can reduce the risk level from the high and medium level to the low-risk levels of working postures.
PERAN INDEPENDENSI, TEKANAN WAKTU, KOMPLEKSITAS TUGAS, DAN PENGALAMAN AUDITOR TERHADAP KUALITAS AUDIT

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of independence, time pressure, task complexity, and auditor experience on audit quality at the Public Accounting Firm in Bali. The population in this study were 13 public accounting firms with 112 auditor respondents. The number of samples used was 55 respondents, with a purposive sampling sample determination method using a minimum criteria of working 2 years on KAP. The data analysis technique used is multiple regression analysis. The results of this study find that auditor independence and experience have a positive effect on audit quality while time pressure and task complexity do not affect audit quality. Auditors are expected to be able to maintain and enhance their independence, which can be used in maintaining relationships with clients and attitudes to make decisions that are not affected by other parties. The increasing auditor experience makes the auditor more professional so that time constraints and task complexity do not decrease audit quality. The higher the auditor's experience in audit activities, the higher the auditor able to produce better audit quality.
Exploring lifestyle changes in women with ischemic heart disease

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a major cause of death for women worldwide, and thus it is important to focus on lifestyle changes to reduce the impact of the disease on women’s everyday lives. Nine women were interviewed using an explorative approach to describe women’s lifestyle changes after being diagnosed with IHD. Three major themes emerged; ‘Heart disease: A life-changing event’, ‘Social life – both inhibiting and promoting lifestyle changes’ and ‘Maintaining changes: An ongoing challenge and a conscious choice’. Ischemic heart disease caused anxiety, and the women strived to find meaning in life after diagnosis. Family had a great impact on the lifestyle changes made and the social aspect of exercise was highlighted as important. Time since onset of disease affected the effort to make lifestyle changes, showing that changes were easier to make immediately after onset but difficult to maintain over time.
French Coreference for Spoken and Written Language

Coreference resolution aims at identifying and grouping all mentions referring to the same entity. In French, most systems run different setups, making their comparison difficult. In this paper, we present an extensive comparison of several coreference resolution systems for French. The systems have been trained on two corpora (ANCOR for spoken language and Democrat for written language) annotated with coreference chains, and augmented with syntactic and semantic information. The models are compared with different configurations (e.g. with and without singletons). In addition, we evaluate mention detection and coreference resolution apart. We present a full-stack model that outperforms other approaches. This model allows us to study the impact of mention detection errors on coreference resolution. Our analysis shows that mention detection can be improved by focusing on boundary identification while advances in the pronoun-noun relation detection can help the coreference task. Another contribution of this work is the first end-to-end neural French coreference resolution model trained on Democrat (written texts), which compares to the state-of-the-art systems for oral French.
Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio may predict coronary artery disease in geriatric patients

Objective: Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a new, inexpensive and easily applicable indicator and one of the markers showing inflammation that plays an important role in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). There is currently no data showing the association between NLR and CAD in geriatric patients. Herein, we aimed to determine this relationship in this study. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving 507 patients of whom 239 were diagnosed with CAD while 268 were not. The patients’ demographic characteristics, illnesses, laboratory parameters and NLRs at the time of admission were investigated. Results: Mean age, gender rate, and comorbidities of the patients were similar between two groups. NLR was higher in patients with CAD than controls (2.34 vs. 2.03, p=0.003, respectively). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis suggested that optimum NLR cut-off point for CAD was 1.96 with 66.5% sensitivity and 48.8% specificity, 54.1% positive predictive values and 61.7% negative predictive values (AUC=0.575). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that NLR (OR: 1.208, 95% CI: 1.008–1.447, p = 0.041) and cigarette smoking (OR: 2.281, 95% CI: 1.037–5.019, p=0.040) were independently correlated with CAD. Conclusion: It has been shown that geriatric patients with CAD have higher NLR, and this new marker may be an independent correlate for CAD in geriatric patients. Key words: Coronary artery disease; neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio; elderly; geriatric; neutrophils; lymphocytes
Characterization of Toxins and Colonization Factors of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Isolates from Children with Acute Diarrhea in Abuja, Nigeria

Background: Heat-labile (LT) and heat-stable (ST) toxin variants of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) are enterotoxins associated with diarrhea among children in Abuja, Nigeria. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is also known as a major etiological agent of diarrheal disease among travelers in developing countries. Continuous identification of commonly expressed bacterial components of ETEC can help extend the protective spectra of future candidate ETEC vaccines in Nigeria. Objectives: This study aimed to provide new insights into the distribution patterns of enterotoxins, colonization factor antigens (CFA phenotypes), and serotypes and to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of ETEC strains from children with acute diarrhea in Abuja, Nigeria. Methods: Escherichia coli strains, isolated from the stool samples of children aged 0 60 months, were tested via polymerase chain reaction, ganglioside GM1 ELISA assay, hemagglutination assay, HEp-2 cell adherence assay, dot blot technique, and disc diffusion method for antimicrobial resistance. Results: Rnterotoxigenic Escherichia coli was detected in 16 (4.0%) out of 400 children with acute diarrhea. The toxigenic genotypes expressed by ETEC strains included LT toxin gene 6 (37.5%), ST toxin gene 6 (37.5%), and ST/LT gene 4 (25.0%). The CF phenotypes with major expression included CS2 (25.0%), CS3 (12.5%), and CFA1 (6.3%), with a probability value below 0.05 (P < 0.05). However, no CFA/CS was detected in 56.3% of ETEC strains. Multidrug resistance pattern of nalidixic acid-ciprofloxacin-amoxicillin-augmentincephalexin-cefuroxime was observed in 19% of ETEC strains. The most prevalent ETEC serotype was O8: H9 (n, 5). Based on the findings, ETEC infection peaked to 7.2% in July. Conclusion: Although ST and LT toxins seem to have equal distributions in the analyzed population, continuous identification of CFA phenotypes and toxins is necessary for the evaluation of ETEC vaccines in Nigeria.

Air Quality in the Northern Colorado Front Range Metro Area: The Front Range Air Pollution and Photochemistry Éxperiment (FRAPPÉ)

We describe the resources used, the deployment strategy, and the outcomes of the Front Range Air Pollution and Photochemistry Éxperiment (FRAPPÉ) experiment, which took place in the summer of 2014 in the Front Range of Colorado. We provide a history of air quality of the region and the outcomes of previously conducted experiments, describe the atmospheric conditions encountered during the campaign, and summarize the scientific findings that the campaign produced, together with the Deriving Information on Surface Conditions from Column and Vertically Resolved Observations Relevant to Air Quality (DISCOVER‐AQ) intensive, simultaneously carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The goal of FRAPPÉ was to measure emission tracers and photochemical tracers from the ground and by aircraft to be able to quantify the contributions of various emission sectors to the photochemical production of ozone in the Colorado Front Range. We found major contributions from the fossil fuel extraction sector as well as the transportation sector, with minor contributions from agriculture, energy generation, and industry. The meteorological conditions were also found to be critical in creating situations conducive to high ozone in the area.
Morphological signatures of deglaciation and postglacial sedimentary processes in a deep fjord‐lake (Grand Lake, Labrador)

High‐resolution multibeam bathymetric data and acoustic sub‐bottom profiles were recently collected in Grand Lake (Labrador), one of the deepest lake basins in eastern North America, to reconstruct: (1) the retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) west of Lake Melville and (2) the history of sedimentation since deglaciation in this 54 km‐long, 3 km‐wide fjord‐lake. Our results provide a morphostratigraphical framework that brings new insights to the style and pattern of retreat of the LIS in the region, as well as deglacial and postglacial sedimentary dynamics. Terrestrial glacial lineations observed on a digital elevation model (DEM) provide evidence of a previously undocumented ice stream in the Grand Lake area. This newly mapped ice stream suggests that the calving bay formed in Lake Melville triggered a reorganization of the regional drainage pattern of the LIS. The sedimentary infill of Grand Lake consists of a sequence of deglacial to postglacial sediments that contain deposits related to a series of mass movements. The 8.2 cal ka BP cold event is recorded in Grand Lake by a series of closely spaced moraines deposited at the outlet of the fjord‐lake to form a morainic complex similar to the Cockburn morainic complex on Baffin Island. During deglaciation, a dense dendritic network of proglacial gullies incised into the steep sidewalls of the lake. Since deglaciation, paraglacial and postglacial sedimentation has led to the deposition of large prograding deltas at the fjord head, where density currents remain active today and have formed a series of sediment waves on the frontal slopes and a prodeltaic environment. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Association Between Body Mass Index and Caries Lesions in Preschool Children in Santiago, Chile

The objective of the study was to determine the association between caries prevalence and body mass index (BMI) in preschool children in Santiago, Chile. Children aged 2 and 3 years old (n = 342) attending 16 nursery schools in Santiago, Chile were examined to record the status of dental caries using the modified criteria of the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS II) (International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) Coordinating Committee, 2005). BMI was calculated for each of the subjects and their nutritional state was classified as underweight, normal-weight, overweight and obesity according to the WHO. The caries prevalence (ICDAS 2-6 > 0) of the children was 45.9 % (IC 95 % 40.50 51.21). Data showed that none of the preschoolers were underweight. 39.1 % were classified as normal-weight (IC 95 % 33.98 – 44.38), 34.8 % as overweight (IC 95 % 29.72 – 39.86) and 26 % as obese (IC 95 % 21.34 – 30.96). Normal-weight children had a prevalence of 51.5 % of ICDAS 2-6 lesions and prevalence of 28.3 % of ICDAS 5-6 lesions. Children with overweight had prevalence of 51.4 % ICDAS 2-6 lesions and of 19.3 % ICDAS 5-6 lesions, and obese children of 39.5 % and 25.8 % respectively. Subjects with normal-weight presented a mean of ICDAS 2-6 caries lesions significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the rest of the children. In conclusion, normal-weight preschool children presented a higher prevalence of caries lesions than those with overweight and obesity. Iso-BMI was found to be associated with lower dental caries and severity. Future studies should address which specific factors related to overweight in children might be protective against dental caries.
Safety and Antitumor Activity of Pembrolizumab in Advanced Programmed Death Ligand 1-Positive Endometrial Cancer: Results from the KEYNOTE-028 Study

Purpose The multicohort phase Ib KEYNOTE-028 (NCT02054806) study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab, an anti-programmed death 1 monoclonal antibody, in patients with programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) -positive advanced solid tumors. The results from the advanced endometrial cancer cohort are reported. Patients and Methods Female patients with locally advanced or metastatic PD-L1-positive endometrial cancer who had experienced progression after standard therapy were eligible. Patients received pembrolizumab 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks for up to 24 months or until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary efficacy end point was objective response rate by RECIST (version 1.1). Secondary end points included safety, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival, and overall survival. The data cutoff was February 17, 2016. Results Of 75 patients screened, 36 (48.0%) had PD-L1-positive tumors, and 24 (32.0%) were enrolled. Fifteen (62.5%) of these 24 patients had received at least two previous lines of therapy for advanced disease. Three patients (13.0%) achieved confirmed partial response (95% CI, 2.8% to 33.6%); the median DOR was not reached. Two patients were still receiving treatment and exhibiting continued response at time of data cutoff. Three additional patients (13.0%) achieved stable disease, with a median duration of 24.6 weeks. One patient who achieved partial response had a polymerase E mutation. Thirteen patients (54.2%) experienced treatment-related adverse events (AEs), with fatigue (20.8%), pruritus (16.7%), pyrexia (12.5%), and decreased appetite (12.5%) occurring in ≥ 10% of patients. Grade 3 treatment-related AEs were reported in four patients. No patient experienced a grade 4 AE, and no patient discontinued treatment because of an AE. Conclusion Pembrolizumab demonstrated a favorable safety profile and durable antitumor activity in a subgroup of patients with heavily pretreated advanced PD-L1-positive endometrial cancer.
Pengaruh Pemberian Kompres Hangat Suprapubik Terhadap Pemulihan Reflek Vesica Urinaria Pada Pasien Post Spinal Anestesi Di RSU PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul

Spinal anesthesia causes urinary retention because the urethral sphincter muscle doesn't respond to urination desire. When circumstances continue the pressure inhibits the flow of urine occurs hydroureter, hydronephrosis and gradually kidney failure. Suprapubic warm compresses activated dopaminergic transmission in the mesolimbic central nervous system that effectively improve circulation speeds recovery of vesica urinary reflex. This research is aimed to know the effect of warm compress on the vesica urinaria recovery reflex in post spinal anesthesia patient at RS PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul. This study was an experimental study with quasy experiment type with Non Equivalent Control Group After Only Design. The treatment provided was suprapubic warm compress. Consecutive sampling with 40 respondents divided into control and intervention group that undergo spinal anesthesia at RSU PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul. Data analysis was done by Chi square. In control group, 9 respondents (45%) had vesica urinary reflex recovery ≤ 8 hours, while in intervention group, 16 respondents (20%) had vesica urinary reflex ≤ 8 hours. Chi Square test resulted on p value 0.022 (≤0,05). There is an effect of suprapubic warm compress toward vesica urinary reflex recovery in post spinal anesthesia patients at RSU PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul.
Comparative study of intrathecal bupivacaine 0.5% with bupivacaine 0.5% and buprenorphine low dose for postoperative analgesia in lower abdominal surgeries

Background: Opiods, like buprenorphine, have been widely used for providing pain relief postoperatively and their advantages of neuraxial narcotics over systemic narcotics are well established. When compared to local anaesthetics, they offer good analgesia while allowing early ambulation of the patient by sparing sympathetic and motor nerves. This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of bupivacaine alone and in combination with low dosage of buprenorphine. Methods: 80 patients between the ages 20-60 undergoing lower abdominal surgeries were divided into 2 groups of 40 each after taking detailed history and undergoing the necessary preliminary tests. Patients in the Group I was given 17.5mg of 0.5% Hyperbaric Bupivacaine along with 60ug of Buprenorphine. The patients in Group II received 17.5mg of 0.5% Hyperbaric Bupivacaine. Onset and duration of analgesia were recorded. The efficacy of analgesia was recorded based on VAS score. Side effects, time of recovery also were noted. Results: In this retrospective study we found that incidence of colorectal carcinoma is more between 40-60 years of age with male predominance; lymph node metastasis is more than metastasis in any other sites. CT scan can diagnose lymphatic metastasis and infiltration in surrounding tissue more accurately. Percentage of sphincter saving procedure was low in rectal malignancies in our study. Conclusions: The onset of analgesia was within 5 minutes in 100% of the cases in Group I while in Group II it was upto 9 minutes. The mean of the duration of analgesia was 15h 33mins and 3 h 18 mins in Group I and II respectively. The pain scoring through VAS in the 2 groups showed that most of the patients in Group I had 0 to mild pain till about 12 hours while in Group II the analgesic effect was felt only till the first 2 hours. The supplementary analgesic was required on Group II within 4 hours post operatively while in Group I the requirement was only after 12 hours. The major side effect among the patients was vomiting and nausea in 12 patients in Group I followed by urinary retention in 6 patients. While in Group II only 6 patients had nausea and no other side effect. Pruritis was observed in 1 patient in Group I Respiratory distress, drowsiness, headache and backache was not observed in any of the cases.
Interbank Transactions on the Intraday Frequency: “Different Market States and the Effects of the Financial Crisis

The focus of this paper lies in the study of the intraday distribution of the number of transactions and transaction volume (absolute and mean per transaction) in the interbank credit market e-MID in different market states around the events of the financial crisis of 2007. The results show that the distributions of the number and of the volume of transactions can be characterized as Ushaped and the distribution of the mean per transaction as three-peaked. However, there are important differences when it comes to the comparison of the different market states and the differentiation between sell and buy transactions. Moreover, this study detects stylized facts about the market regarding the number of trades and the volume during the day. Sell transactions are higher in each market state. This highlights the fact that this market is used widely to deposit excessive liquidity in all intervals during the day. Furthermore, differences within these variables during different market states can be observed, which highlights the importance of this analysis. This study can strengthen our understanding of the interbank credit market as it is important for policy makers and the daily trading strategies of banks. Additionally, implications can be seen as the basis for further empirical and econometric research.
Developing Future Pilots’ Critical Thinking Skills in the Framework of Aviation English

The demands on future aviation specialists working in extreme conditions to solve problems efficiently emphasize the need to use new approaches in their professional training. Although it is crucial to focus on the training of pilot judgmental skills, there is a serious lack of research in this area. This article will define the effect of teaching critical thinking skills to student pilots in the framework of Aviation English. 42 first year student pilots took part in the study, divided into a control group and an experimental group of equal numbers. Those participating in this study were chosen based on their level of English proficiency and critical thinking skills, age, and gender. In both groups the same content of Aviation English material which corresponded fully to the syllabus was taught. In the experimental group the teacher focused on developing critical thinking skills through special techniques in addition to the Aviation English material. The findings of this study show that focusing on the teaching of critical thinking skills in the experimental group resulted in a significant increase in their scores on the critical thinking questionnaire as compared to the control group.
