Revisiting socio-economic disadvantages: Analysis of social exclusion in Papua, Indonesia

This research is rooted in the increasing in-migration rate, the incidence of poverty, and the issue of the marginalization of indigenous people in Papua. By conducting secondary data analysis of SUSENAS 2018 data, this study aims to compare the socioeconomic situation of the migrants and non-migrants. The findings enable the further identification of marginalization under the social exclusion framework. The initial results show that the natives face socioeconomic disadvantages when compared with the migrants in terms of education, occupation, and income. Meanwhile, the demography dimensions—such as age, sex, marital status, and residential area—become reference variables that facilitate further comparative analysis of the socioeconomic status of migrants and non-migrants. Furthermore, the analysis of the social exclusion in terms of the income, service, and participation dimensions demonstrates that non-migrants have been socially excluded in these three dimensions. Hence, exclusion has led the natives into marginalization. This marginalization has become structural and has not occurred as a direct result of in-migration events to Papua; however, the migrants’ superior education enables them to achieve a better livelihood than the natives, thus exacerbating the marginalization process. Therefore, this study suggests focusing affirmative action on non-migrants by improving their education and skill levels and opening up the labor market to improve the well-being of the Papuan people.
Mathematical modeling of the infiltration in a permeable pavement on the field scale

Permeable pavement (PP) is an alternative for the management of urban rainwater that allows the reduction of effective precipitation through the infiltration process. In this study was evaluated the infiltration capacity of a PP of hollow concrete blocks in a parking lot of the Federal University of Pernambuco. The hydraulic characterization and the infiltration capacity were analyzed in real scale, using a simple ring infiltrometer of 100 cm in diameter through the Beerkan method. Infiltration tests were carried out at twelve points of the PP. The BEST algorithm was applied in it Best-Intercept and Best-Slope version, to estimate the hydraulic parameters of the van Genutchen and Brooks and Corey equations for the retention and hydraulic conductivity of the PP surface. The values of saturated hydraulic conductivity determined by the BEST Intercept method were higher than those obtained by BEST Slope. The sorptivity values estimated by BEST Slope and Intercept were similar, with BEST Slope values slightly higher. Moderate infiltration variability was observed on the PP surface, as well as within the same type of texture. The Beerkan method proved to be adaptable to measure, in field scale, the three-dimensional infiltration in the PP covering layer.
Researching Novel Variants in Endometriosis using Next Generation Sequencing Variant Analysis

Endometriosis is characterized as the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside of the uterine, most generally in the ovaries and peritoneum. It is an illness that is impacted by various elements. It is additionally a typical gynaecological confusion and influences roughly 10-15% of all women of regenerative age. Later molecular and pathological examinations demonstrate that endometriosis may fill in as an antecedent of ovarian malignant growth (endometriosis associated ovarian disease, EAOC), especially endometrioid furthermore, clear cell ovarian malignant growths. Albeit histological and epidemiological investigations have shown that endometriosis has a malignant potential, the molecular component that underlies the harmful change of endometriosis is as yet questionable, and the exact component of carcinogenesis must be completely illustrated. At present, the advancement and improvement of another sequencing innovation, next-generation sequencing (NGS), has been progressively significant in malignant growth genomics examine. Lately, NGS has likewise been used in clinical oncology to propel the customized treatment of malignancy. Also, the affectability, speed, and cost make NGS a profoundly alluring stage contrasted with other sequencing modalities. Thus, NGS may lead to the recognizable proof of driver mutations and fundamental pathways related with EAOC. Our sole motivation behind the study was to decipher new variants if any and report any unreported variants identified with genes. We have performed a variant analysis investigation with the assistance of Next Generation Sequencing GALAXY device accessible on the web.
Effect of Induced Electromotive Force on a VLF Linear Antenna in an Anisotropic Plasma

In this article, the effect of an induced electromotive force (EMF) on the electrical characteristics of a linear antenna in an anisotropic ionosphere over a very low-frequency (VLF: 3–30 kHz) range is investigated. By establishing a technically sound mathematical model of a linear antenna with a motional status relative to the geomagnetic field, the induced EMF effect on the current distribution and input impedance of a linear antenna is first systematically analyzed and quantified. A 3-D kernel function is obtained to match the EMF generated on an arbitrarily oriented antenna. Computations show that as the dip and azimuth angles of an antenna vary in a wide range, the fluctuations on the input impedance always remain within 10%, with the change mainly reflected on the real part. The discrepancy caused by an induced EMF will be more significant when the antenna length reaches 1 km, which should not be ignored for long antennas. This analysis aims to mitigate the undesired effects led by an induced EMF and may provide heuristic support for practical schemes of VLF space-borne applications.
Current Feedback Instrumentation Amplifier With Built-In Differential Electrode Offset Cancellation Loop for ECG/EEG Sensing Frontend

This work describes a compact and low-power current feedback instrumentation amplifier (CFIA) that can effectively eliminate differential electrode offset (DEO), amplifier input offset, and light motion artifacts. The proposed approach is using a local feedback loop in the first stage of the CFIA which can eliminate dc and low frequency offset whereas by-passes useful components such as EEG and ECG signals. As a result, the DEO and amplifier input offset can be eliminated in the first stage of the CFIA while still amplifying the desired signal components. This enables offset cancellation operation with low bias current that leads to higher energy efficiency compared to existing CFIA offset cancellation schemes. The proposed CFIA is implemented using CMOS 0.18-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mu \text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> technology, that can eliminate up to 250-mV DEO with a supply voltage of 1.8 V. Measurement results show common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) 120 dB (without DEO) and 95 dB (with DEO of 250 mV) at 10 Hz, input noise <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$3.8~\mu \text{V}_{\mathrm {rms}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, power consumption <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$12.7~\mu \text{W}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, and NEF 39 with core area of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$73.6\times 10^{-3}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> mm<sup>2</sup>. Furthermore, the actual EEG and ECG waveforms are obtained using the proposed CFIA under an actual clinical setting.
A Multiple Case Study of Music Therapists' Perceptions of Vocal Health

OF THESIS A MULTIPLE CASE STUDY OF MUSIC THERAPISTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF VOCAL HEALTH As professional voice users, music therapists should be aware of their vocal health and the risks for developing vocal problems through habitual vocal use. Vocal abuse refers to vocal activities such as yelling, singing with poor technique, and shouting which cause the laryngeal mechanism to not function optimally. Although many music therapists are at risk for vocal abuse, to my knowledge, no researchers have looked at how music therapists are using their voices. The purpose of this qualitative study was to better understand music therapists’ perceptions of their vocal health and vocal health training. I used a multiple case study design to develop a deeper understanding of vocal training that music therapists have had in the past, their current perception of their vocal health, and factors that facilitate and inhibit their vocal health. The participants were five board-certified music therapists (MT-BC) who had either worked in their current position for at least three years or had worked with the population they currently serve for three or more years. Although the clinical settings where participants worked varied (e.g., schools, inpatient hospital, clinics, and private practice), all five participants worked in Kentucky. Participants took part in one in-person semi-structured interview, completed a vocal health diary for five workdays, and responded to follow-up questions through email. I manually transcribed interviews and coded responses and another researcher assisted with coding. Qualitative analysis revealed that several factors facilitated the vocal health of the music therapists, specifically: feedback during music therapist training, home remedies, medical interventions, and motivation to continue vocal training. Several factors that inhibited the music therapists from achieving their optimal vocal health were lack of training, extended vocal use, the negative impact of allergies and sickness, and logistical and financial barriers. All participants experienced vocal problems at some point in their professional career but did not seek additional vocal training because of the inhibitive factors. The findings suggest that music therapists would benefit from additional vocal training opportunities within their entry education and training and easily accessible vocal health resources and continuing education opportunities specific to the field of music therapy. Additionally, there is a need for additional research on the effects of vocal training programs in music therapy.

Article history: Received March 9 2020 Received in revised format March 15 2020 Accepted May 18 2020 Available online May 18 2020 This study aims to analyze the ability to determine the weight of securities of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and deposits in the implementation of employer pension funds in Indonesia based on variables of asset allocation, portfolio turnover, board size, institutional ownership and diversification of the portfolio performance. The data collection method used was non-participant observation. By using a data pooling technique which combined time series data over period 2016-2018 and a cross section data of 64 Employer Pension Funds (DPPK, Employer Pension Funds), 192 observed analysis units were obtained. The effect of the variables was analyzed by using Structural Equation Modeling (path) as the analysis technique and using LISREL (Linear Structural Relationships) program. The test results showed that the asset allocation strategy had a positive effect on the investment portfolio performance. The same also happened to institutional ownership and diversification variables which also had a positive and significant effect on the investment portfolio performance. However, this study showed that there was no positive effect on the board size and portfolio turnover on the investment portfolio performance. Theoretical and managerial implications and also the limitations of this study are discussed at the end of this study. by the authors; licensee Growing Science, Canada 20 © 20
Automated Machine Learning in the Sonographic Diagnosis of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Objective: This study evaluated the performance of automated machine-learning to diagnose non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by ultrasound and compared these findings to radiologist performance. Methods: 96 patients with histologic (33) or proton density fat fraction MRI (63) diagnosis of NAFLD and 100 patients without evidence of NAFLD were retrospectively identified. The “Fatty Liver” label included 96 patients with 405 images and the “Not Fatty Liver” label included 100 patients with 500 images. These 905 images made up a “Comprehensive Image” group. A “Radiology Selected Image” group was then created by selecting only images considered diagnostic by a blinded radiologist, resulting in 649 images. Cloud AutoML Visionbeta (Google LLC, Mountain View, CA) was used for machine learning. The models were evaluated against three blinded radiologists. Results: The “Comprehensive Image” group model demonstrated a sensitivity of 88.6% (73.3–96.8%) and a specificity of 95.3% (84.2–99.4%). Radiologist performance on this image group included a sensitivity of 81.0% (74.3–87.6%) and specificity of 86.0% (72.6–99.5%). The model’s overall accuracy was 92.3% (84.0–97.1%), compared with mean individual performance (83.8%, 78.4–89.1%). The “Radiology Selected Image” group model demonstrated a sensitivity of 88.6% (73.3 – 96.8%) and specificity of 87.9% (71.8–96.6%). Mean radiologist sensitivity was 92.4% (86.9–97.9%) and specificity was 91.9% (83.4–100%). The model’s overall accuracy was 88.2% (78.1–94.8%) which was comparable to the individual radiologist performance (92.2%, 90.1–94.2%) and consensus performance (95.6%, 87.6–99.1%). Conclusions: An automated machine-learning algorithm may accurately detect NAFLD on ultrasound.
A Retrospective Study of Utilization of Repository Corticotropin Injection (HP Acthar Gel) as Pretreatment for Alemtuzumab Infusion

Background: Alemtuzumab treatment of patients with MS is associated with cytokine release, resulting in infusion-associated reactions (IARs). Premedication with corticosteroids is typically administered to alleviate the risk of IARs, but steroid pretreatment is not feasible in some patients. This study investigated real-world experience using repository corticotropin injection (RCI) as a pretreatment for alemtuzumab infusion. Methods: A retrospective study of patients who were prescribed RCI as pretreatment for the prevention of alemtuzumab IARs was conducted using an electronic questionnaire. Data were de-identified at the time of collection. Results: Complete information on 175 patients was collected and analyzed. Data for alemtuzumab Course 1 infusions were available for 175 patients; 23 of these also had data available for Course 2 infusions. Patients were 62% Caucasian, 21% black, 15% Hispanic, and were diagnosed with relapsing forms of MS (60%) or progressive forms of MS (40%). Reasons for using RCI prior to alemtuzumab included history of steroid intolerance (Course 1: 37%, Course 2: 59%), history of poor response to steroids (20%, 27%), and comorbidities (20%, 27%). RCI was most frequently administered subcutaneously at a dose of 80 units. No IARs occurred in 56% (Course 1) and 61% (Course 2) of patients after RCI pretreatment. No adverse events attributed to RCI were seen in 72% and 91% of patients treated with Course 1 and 2, respectively. Conclusion: RCI is a safe, effective, and well-tolerated pretreatment alternative to corticosteroids to alleviate the risk of alemtuzumab-associated infusion reaction in patients with MS.
Aspects of the marital relationship that characterize secure and insecure attachment in men and women

The internalized attachment in childhood has consequences in the adult life, specifically in the marital life, which demands greater closeness, intimacy and interdependence. In this sense, it was analyzed whether the communication, marital adjustment, frequency, intensity and conflict resolution variables discriminate individuals with secure and insecure attachment in heterosexual relationships. It is a quantitative, descriptive and explanatory study. Data from 485 participants were collected in the south of Brazil through the following measures: Experience in Close Relationship, Marital Conflict Scale, Conflict Resolution Behavior Questionnaire, Communication Questionnaire and Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale. The results of the discriminant analysis indicated that the variables tested characterize secure or insecure attachment. Therefore, the type of attachment is a relevant resource in the assessment of individual and marital functioning. Psychotherapy interventions are discussed considering the relational bias of the attachment theory and the results observed in the scientific literature.

Utilisation of the Family Latrine Post Declaration ODF

Diarrheal diseases dominate the prevalence of diseases due to poor sanitation in Indonesia. Case Fatality Rate (CFR) in 2010-2017 tends to fluctuate. In 2017, diarrhea in Lampung Province was ranked 7th among the top 10 diseases. South Lampung Regency has the highest case. The declaration of Open Defecation Free (ODF) village has been carried out, but the number of diarrhea cases in the Pemanggilan Village during January-March 2019 was 32 cases, with 10 out of 20 people in Marga Kaca, and Sri Mulyo III hamlets not using the available healthy latrines. This study uses a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach. The research subjects were 15 community informants, one triangulation informant, and one key informant. The sampling technique used is purposive, sample selected by a snowball. The results of the study stated that the informant's knowledge can be said to be good, the whole community uses well water for their needs, community leaders and health workers provide support in the form of advice and assistance for the construction of latrines, but community awareness is still not good in the use of family latrines.
Weed management in greengram: A review

Greengram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek], also known as mungbean, is extensively cultivated in India and other Asian countries. Being rich in protein, its grains are an important daily dietary component. Weeds are a major limiting factor in production of greengram that lead to a drastic reduction in yield. The presence of hardy weeds and slow initial crop growth compound this problem. Different strategies incorporating non-chemical and chemical methods have been practiced for efficient weed control in greengram. Non-chemical control methods include straw mulch (12–63% reduction in weed biomass), narrow row spacing (60–92% reduction in weed biomass), method of sowing (1–20% reduction in weed biomass), tillage practices (58% reduction in weed biomass), the frequency and rate of irrigation and fertilizer application (13–23% reduction in weed biomass), timing of hand weeding and selection of cropping system. Chemical control methods include the many herbicides with different selectivity and efficiency available for use in greengram. For efficient weed control, herbicides should be applied at the recommended rate and time in order to avoid inhibiting growth, symbiotic properties (number of nodules, dry weight of nodules, leghaemoglobin content in nodules) and grain yield in greengram crop. In this review, different weed management strategies including nonchemical and chemical weed control methods have been reviewed for their ability to control weeds in greengram. Furthermore, their influence on growth, symbiosis, yield and nutrient uptake of greengram, soil microflora and residual effect on succeeding crops have also been reviewed.
Physiological and behavioral effects of angling on California sheephead (Semicossychus pulcher): Response, recovery, and captivity stress of an important gamefish in Southern California

California sheephead, Semicossyphus pulcher, have experienced significant population declines in recent decades but have remained an important nearshore gamefish in southern California by hook and line anglers. Regulations in the recreational sector currently include a minimum size and bag limit; however, the resulting widespread catch and release practices have unknown physiological and behavioral impacts on S. pulcher individuals and population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the sublethal responses of S. pulcher to catch and release fishing, determine the potential impacts of current management strategies, and recommend best practices for anglers to minimize fish stress. Physiological responses were measured for known stress indicators (cortisol, glucose, lactate) in blood samples collected after varying angling and confinement treatments, while fish behavior was evaluated by active tracking of S. pulcher with acoustic transmitters. We found that baseline biomarker levels were comparable to other teleosts, although blood collected using a novel underwater sampling method exhibited lower levels than reported for other marine fish. It was also determined that biomarkers were significantly elevated the longer fish fought on the line up to 20 min (p 0.05). By contrast, fish held in captivity after catching maintained elevated glucose and cortisol levels for 14 and 30 d, respectively (p>0.01). Behavioral evaluations indicated that caught and released males used significantly more area and had higher rates of movement, as compared with females in the first 24 h post-release; however, there were no discernable differences between angled and control fish. The results of this study indicate that catch and release angling results in physiological stress for S. pulcher, but this can be reduced by minimizing fight times and handling before returning the fish back into their home environment. Rapid recovery (in <18 h) and the lack of behavioral impacts supports catch and release as a viable management strategy for this species.
Identifying Students’ Learning Styles and Its Implications for Educators in The EFL Classroom

This paper concerns the individual differences between English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Related to the specific area in individual differences research, this article attempts to identify students’ learning styles in the EFL classroom. Respondents were 20 first-semester graduates majoring in English language education at Yogyakarta state university. They responded to the Learning Style Survey developed by Cohen, Oxford, and Chi (2001). The researcher collected and analyzed the data descriptively. The study revealed that in sensory preferences, visual learning style has the highest frequency among male and female students, while random-intuitive is the most preferred learning style regarding personality types, and synthesizing is overflowing in cognitive styles. Finally, the author discussed the teaching strategies based on students' preferred learning styles for Educators in the EFL Classroom to enhance the teaching and
