A Multi-Objective Reconfiguration Scheme for Reliability and Energy Usage Enhancement of Distribution Systems in the Presence of Wind Turbines Using the MOHSA Optimization Algorithm

The stochastic nature of the active power generated by wind turbines (WTs) has posed new challenges to the reliability assessment, load flow analysis, and reconfiguration process of distribution systems penetrated with WTs. In this paper, a new optimization approach has been presented to find the best configuration of the distribution system along with optimal locations of WTs. This is aimed at maximizing the reliability of the system, while energy losses are minimized. To this end, based on the graph theory and the system topology, a simple technique is proposed for finding minimal cut sets that could be used for calculating reliability indices. Furthermore, the multiple flow directions created in the presence of WTs cause difficulties in calculating reliability indices and in performing load flow analysis. Accordingly, a new concept called the independent reliability zone is introduced to overcome these problems. In this paper, the multi-objective harmony search algorithm, due to its suitability for multi-objective problems, is employed as a solution for solving the proposed optimization problem. The effect of the proposed approach has been evaluated on both test and real systems. The results show that using the proposed approach, a more practical solution is achieved for low-cost and reliable 24-hour planning of the system in the presence of uncertainties in DGs.
Non-Ordinary Mental Expressions (NOMEs): clues on the nature of the human mind

The aim of this paper is to describe some ostensibly odd, Non-Ordinary-Mental Expressions (NOMEs), that have been considered implausible, illusory or hallucinatory phenomena, possible symptoms of disorders of the neurological or psychological functioning. They include a large variety of phenomena, encompassing hearing voices, seeing presences, communication with non-incarnated entities (including channeling), transpersonal experiences, out-of-body experiences, near-death-experiences, previous life memories, presentiments and precognitions, seeing at distance, mind interactions at a distance, mind-matter interactions at distance. We think that individuals experiencing NOMEs should not feel like they were outsiders or diseased; they should feel free to talk about their uncommon experiences and be listen to with an open, not-judging mind, respecting the patients’ experience and narration. In fact, NOMEs are non-pathological phenomena laying in a still misunderstood grey area between mental health and psychological or psychiatric disorders, while some of them suggest intriguing properties of human consciousness. Their ostensible incompatibility with some axioms and theories of consciousness, shows the inescapable epistemological implications of their proper investigation and understanding.
Short Communication: Allometric model to estimate bifoliate leaf area and weight of kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix)

Budiarto R, Poerwanto R, Santosa E, Efendi D, Agusta A. 2021. Short Communication: Allometric model to estimate bifoliate leaf area and weight of kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix). Biodiversitas 22: 2815-2820. Leaf is an economically important plant organ harvested from kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix DC.) for flavor and fragrance. This study aimed to formulate and validate regression models to estimate the leaf area (LA) and leaf weight (LW) of bifoliate kaffir lime leaf. There were 220 bifoliate leaves collected from 22 individual plants planted on Bogor. Bifoliate C. hystrix leaf consisted of upper main leaflets and winged petiole as lower secondary leaflet. All leaves were pooled and then grouped randomly into two subgroups for model formulation and validation, respectively. Linear, zero intercepts linear, exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, zero intercept polynomial and power regressions were used to properly estimate LA and LW. There was 63 formula obtained from nine predictors following seven regression models. Selected nine formulas with the highest R plus a stepwise formula were further tested for validation. Stepwise always showed the highest R followed by total of leaf ,length (TL) both on LA and LW estimation. However, the stepwise seemed to be more complicated and time wasted than TL regression model. Thus, our recommendation models for non-destructive and simple estimation in C. hystrix bifoliate leaf were LA = 0.1997 (TL) + 0.4571 (TL) and LW = 0.0067 (TL) + 0.0065 (TL), respectively.
The Impact of Gender and Reading Proficiency Level on Online Reading Strategies Employed by EFL Learners

Learners of English as a second or foreign language (ESL/EFL), as they attempt to read English online texts increasingly, to read effectively, and to comprehend online texts successfully, are required to employ certain online reading strategies. This study attempts to provide a thorough account of Saudi EFL learners, who are undergraduates majoring in English, and their utilization of metacognitive online reading strategies. To this end, 100 male and female EFL learners classified into proficient and less-proficient readers of English based on their scores on the TOEFL reading section responded to a self-developed, four-part survey containing 35 items that measured three categories of online reading strategies: global, problem-solving, and support reading strategies. The collected data were subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The findings indicate that the strategy rated as most frequently used was support, followed by problem-solving, with global strategy rated as least used. Additionally, both proficient and less-proficient EFL learners didn't differ significantly in the degree to which they reported using the three categories of online reading strategies. There was no statistically significant difference with reference to gender in either group, with the exception of the online global reading strategy, in which the mean for females was significantly higher than that for males. Several implications are drawn from the findings, and areas of potential future research are highlighted.

A global dataset of atmospheric 7Be and 210Pb measurements: annual air concentration and depositional flux

Abstract. 7Be and 210Pb air concentration and depositional flux data provide key information on the origins and movements of air masses, as well as atmospheric deposition processes and residence time of aerosols. After their deposition onto the Earth's surface, they are utilized for tracing soil redistribution processes on land, particle dynamics in aquatic systems, and mixing processes in open ocean. Here we present a global dataset of air concentration and depositional flux measurements of atmospheric 7Be and 210Pb made by a large number of global research communities. Data were collected from published papers between 1955 and early 2020. It includes the annual surface air concentration data of 7Be from 367 sites and 210Pb from 270 sites, the annual depositional flux data of 7Be from 279 sites and 210Pb from 602 sites. When available, appropriate metadata have also been summarized, including geographic location, sampling date, methodology, annual precipitation, and references. The dataset is archived at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4785136 (Zhang et al., 2021) and is freely available for the scientific community. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the scope and nature of this dataset and its potential utility as baseline data for future research.

Medication adherence and persistence of psoriatic arthritis patients treated with biological therapy in a specialty pharmacy in Brazil: a prospective observational study

Background: Pharmaceutical services in Brazil provide access, supply, and rational use of drugs for all population and an effort has been made to improve the quality of these services. Biological drugs are high-cost drugs supplied in Brazil that can inhibit disease progression and improve the quality of life of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients. However, some patients did not achieve therapeutic goals. Objective: To evaluate the medication adherence and persistence of PsA patients treated with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (anti-TNF) drugs and their associated factors. Methods: A prospective observational study was performed at a single-specialty pharmacy in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Medication adherence, persistence, and clinical outcomes were evaluated at 12 months of follow-up. Medication persistence was historically compared to overall PsA patients treated in Brazil. Associated factors were identified through log-binomial regression. Results: One hundred ninety-seven PsA patients were included in the study, of whom 147 (74.6%) and 142 (72.1%) had medication adherence and persistence, respectively. Patients treated with infliximab presented the highest adherence (90.5%) and persistence rate (95.2%) in comparison to patients treated with other drugs, except for adalimumab versus infliximab for adherence outcome. All clinical measures significantly improved in patients with medication adherence and persistence. Medication persistence was higher for patients attended by specialty pharmacy than other PsA patients in Brazil. The associated factors to higher medication adherence were lower disease activity by BASDAI, being non-white race, and intravenous drug use. The associated factors to higher medication persistence were lower disease activity by Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Activity Index (BASDAI), intravenous drug use, non-use of corticoids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and comorbidity. Conclusions: Patients with medication adherence and persistence had significant improvements in clinical measures, functionality, and quality of life. High medication adherence and persistence to biological therapy were observed and associated with lesser disease activity at baseline. Also, medication persistence to PsA patients attended in specialty pharmacy was higher than the overall PsA population in Brazil, which indicates the importance of pharmaceutical services to provide health care and promote the effectiveness and safety of biological therapies.
Applications of auditory evoked potentials in tinnitus: a review

Background and Aim: Subjective tinnitus is a phantom auditory perception caused by different factors and affects the patient’s quality of life. The tinnitus pathophysiology is not fully unders­tood; therefore, there is no effective treatment for tinnitus. Along with other methods, auditory evo­ked potentials (AEPs) may be helpful in unders­tanding this condition and the involved struc­tures. This study aimed to review the applications of AEPs in tinnitus studies. Recent Findings: The studies investigating tinnitus were categorized into three groups of tinnitus pathophysiology, pre- or post-treatment/intervention evaluation of tinnitus, and objective diagnosis of tinnitus. Contradictory and unrep­eatable findings were observed in each group. Conclusion: Discrepancies in the results of AEPs studies can be due to between-group and within-group differences, lack of proper match­ing in terms of tinnitus etiology and hearing loss, and difference in neurophysiologic models of tinnitus.
Simple and Sensitive Detection of Hydrazine in Industrial Wastewater Using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence Detector after Anthracene-2,3-dicarbaldehyde Derivatization

A simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed to determine the amount of hydrazine in industrial wastewater after derivatization with anthracene-2,3-dicarbaldehyde. The best reaction conditions (a reagent dosage of 200 mg/L, a pH of 11, and reaction for 1 min at room temperature) were established by the variation of parameters. The formed derivative was injected into the HPLC without further extraction or purification procedures. Under the established conditions, the limits of detection and the limits of quantification were 0.02 µg/L and 0.05 µg/L, respectively, and the inter-day relative standard deviation was less than 9% at concentrations of 0.1 and 0.5 µg/L. The calibration curve showed good linearity with r2 = 0.9999. The method was successfully applied to the determination of hydrazine in various kinds of industrial wastewater.
USING UTAUT2 MODEL TO EXAMINE THE DETERMINANTS OF OMNICHANNEL TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE BY CONSUMERS

Background: The paper presents the problem of omnichanneling technology acceptance by consumers in the purchasing process. The omnichanneling technology is an innovative solution used by retailers operating both brick&mortar and online retail formats, consisting in the integration of sales channels which aims to deliver a seamless customer experience regardless of the channel. It is an expensive and operationally complex solution, hence the need to test customer willingness to accept it. The objective of the article is to examine the determinants of both the intentions of acceptance the omnichannel technology by consumers and its use in purchasing behavior in accordance with the adopted UTAUT2 model. Methods: The work uses a hypothetical-deductive scientific method. Based on the UTAUT2 model, hypotheses were formulated regarding the type and strength of the latent variables impact on intention to accept technology and technology acceptance. Results: Data were collected from 280 respondents using CAWI method. Then, the factors were verified by exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to examine the determinants (and the strength of their impact) of the intention to accept the technology and its use in the purchasing process. Conclusions: The research identified personal innovatinveness as the strongest predictor of omnichannel purchase intention, accompanied by social impact and expected performance. It was also found that perceived risk and hedonic motivation were not relevant in this study. The habit was proved to be a reliable indicator of both the intention to accept omnichanneling technology in the purchasing process and the behaviour associated with using the technology, while the facilitating conditions turned out to be related only to the use of omnichanneling technology.
The Italian framework to measure well-being: towards the 2.0 version

The work of the Stiglitz’s Commission (2009) has renewed the attention on wellbeing as a multidimensional phenomenon and on beyond-GDP measures, fostering the gradual inclusion of well-being indicators in the policy agenda. This debate calls for a new phase in the measurement of well-being. The exploitation of new data sources, hence new and more punctual indicators; a new metric apt to take into account interactions between the well-being dimensions; an explicit inclusion of well-being indicators in the policy cycle are part of a process leading to the 2.0 version of well-being. The Italian experience on the measure of equitable and sustainable well-being (Bes) is a good example to illustrate this evolution. The current Bes framework are fully analyzed together with three emerging issues: the use of administrative data; the definition of composite indices as a useful synthesis for well-being; the implementation of well-being indicators in the policy cycle.

In vitro antiplasmodial, cytotoxic and antioxidant effects, and phytochemical constituents of eleven plants used in the traditional treatment of malaria in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria

Purpose: To evaluate the antiplasmodial effects of eleven plants (Bombax buonopozense, Carica papaya, Anthocleista djalonensis, Milicia excelsa, Heterotis rotundifolia, Homalim letestui, Starchystarpheta cayennnensis, Ocimum gratissimum, Cleistopholis patens, Chromolaena odorata and Hippocratea africana) reportedly used in the treatment of malaria in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria. Methods: Phytochemical analysis was done by standard methods, while in vitro antiplasmodial evaluation was carried out using Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine-sensitive and chloroquineresistant strains using lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH) assay. Cytotoxicity test was undertaken by MTT assay on LLC-MK2 cells and the concentration killing 50 % of the cells (CC50) was calculated.Antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract was evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Results: Milicia excelsa, Heterotis rotundifolia and Chromolaena odorata had moderate antiplasmodial activity. Ocimum gratissimum and Hippocratea africana were weakly active. Milicia excelsa showed a considerable level of cytotoxicity, while Bombax buonopozense exhibited moderate cytotoxicity. Bombax buonopozense (95.3 %) and Ocimum gratissimum (92.0 %) exhibited high DPPH scavengingeffect comparable to Vitamin C (98.7 %). There was a significant correlation (p < 0.05) between DPPH inhibition and the total phenolic contents of the eleven plants studied (r2 = 0.6616), between DPPH inhibition and flavonoids (r2 = 0.3553), between antiplasmodial activity and saponin content (r2= 0.3992), and between the two antiplasmodial evaluation assay methods (r2 = 0.614). Conclusion: The results of this work provide some justification for the use of Milicia excelsa, Heterotis rotundifolia, Chromolaena odorata, Ocimum gratissimum and Hippocratea africana in the treatment of malaria. Keywords: Antiplasmodial, Antioxidant, Cytotoxicity, Phytochemicals, Antimalaria

The Influence on the Aging Patients with Cholecystitis in Terms of Postoperative Cognitive Function After Being Treated with Combination of Dexmedetomidine Remifentanil Sevoflurane Anesthesia Compatibility and Combination of Midazolam Fentanyl Isoflurane Anesthesia Compatibility

171 *Address for correspondence E-mail: ckg8sp@163.com Chen et al.: The Influence on the Aging Patients with Cholecystitis In Terms of Postoperative Cognitive Function This research article was conducted to compare the influence on aging patients with cholecystitis in terms of postoperative cognitive function after being treated with Dexmedetomidine+Remifentanil+Sevoflurane anesthesia compatibility and Midazolam+Fentanyl+Isoflurane anesthesia compatibility. Select 240 cases of aging patients who have undergone laparoscopic downward cholecystectomy under general anesthesia in our hospital from July 2016 to June 2018, then divide them into Group A and B, 120 cases for each group. The Group A has been injected with Dexmedetomidine+Remifentanil+Sevoflurane anesthesia compatibility, while the Group B Midazolam+Fentanyl+Isoflurane anesthesia compatibility. Observe and compare at different times Measures of mean arterial pressure, heart rate and Bispectral Index of patients in the two groups after being anesthetized; and the recovery time of spontaneous breathing, orientation and anesthesia, eye-opening time and extubating time; postoperative MMSE evaluation at different times. The difference concerning Measures of mean arterial pressure, heart rate and Bispectral Index of patients in both groups after being anesthetized is not significant (p>0.05); compared with patients in the group B, the postoperative orientation recovery of patients in Group A has shortened from 23.08±3.32 min to 17.66±5.15 min. The difference has statistical significance (p<0.05); MMSE evaluation of patients in Group A scores 24.02±1.95 and 26.40±2.06 for 2 h and 12 h after the surgery respectively and an improvement can be seen compared with that of Group B, which scores 20.84±1.63 and 22.42±1.95 respectively. The difference has statistical significance (p<0.05). For those aging patients with cholecystitis who have undergone laproscope, the recovery of cognitive function treated with Dexmedetomidine+Remifentanil+Sevoflurane anesthesia compatibility is better than Midozolam+Fentanyl+Isoflurane anesthesia compatibility.
