Ankyloglossia and Its Management- Need for Standardised Guidelines

With increasing diagnosis of ankyloglossia, the need for uniformity in diagnostic criteria and treatment decisions like frenotomy or frenuloplasty has come to the fore. Involvement of multidisciplinary healthcare providers who use various non-standardised resources and tools in the assessment and decision making is debatable. Effects of ankyloglossia on breast feeding, speech and sleep are discussed in this article following review of available high quality evidence based literature.
Ultrafast, Low Power, and Highly Stable All-Optical Switching in an All Polarization Maintaining Fiber

An ultrafast, low-power, and highly stable all-optical switch in a nonlinear Sagnac interferometer is reported. To achieve low-power, highly stable, and walkoff free switching, use is made of a small-core dispersion-shifted polarization-maintaining fiber loop (200 m in length) which has a small group delay difference between the wavelengths of the input signal and the control pulse. To achieve complete polarization stability, a wavelength-sensitive polarization-maintaining fiber coupler is employed. Highly stable and walkoff free all-optical switching is demonstrated at 5 Gb/s. >
Integration of Game-Based Learning as a Teaching Method in Elementary Education

The education system in Kosovo is facing contemporary reform changes; moving from the inherited traditional system to a children activity-oriented form of teaching, where the objective is game-based learning. The purpose of this study is to form an understanding of the integration of game-based learning as a teaching method, and its challenges in application within the Kosovan elementary school teaching process. In the study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 teachers from eight elementary schools. The study data were based on the descriptive analysis of the teachers’ opinions, as well as observation of their teaching by the researchers. According to the findings of the study, the importance of integrating game-based learning in elementary education lies in changing the position of the pupil in the school, facilitating a sense of joy from using games during classroom lessons, and thereby enabling their free expression, to learn and to be appreciated without fear; which is something they may have been reluctant to do in Kosovan society. The results of the study present a challenging picture for Kosovan teachers in coping with integrating and delivering game-based learning as part of the curriculum reform; accordingly, the results seen in practice are not deemed to be satisfactory. Many problems exist with the use of games in the classroom such as lack of adequate teacher training, lack of textbooks and teaching aids, inadequate school facilities, and large numbers of pupils in the classroom.
FRICTION FORCE AS A FUNCTION OF SURFACE COVERAGE VARIATION

The researches were carried out to study “anomalous” aspect of dry friction of “smooth” surfaces and squeezed sorbed gases influence in wide range of residual pressure, and were fulfilled in vacuum chamber with ultimate pressure 10 Pa. Profiles of sliding surface were measured with help of STM and it was shown that in case SiO2 – SiO2 there were areas of sliding surfaces with microroughness height δ < 0,5 nm, which can be close to as “ideally smooth”. The results confirm the existence of four range of dynamic friction coefficient. Sliding dynamic friction coefficient fd at a pressure range 10.10 Pa decreases and then increases because of a height of thin surface films meniscus of a sorbed water decreasing also as because of the increasing of viscous “quasi-newton” force. The pressure decreasing in the range 10.10 corresponds to friction force decreasing and then increasing because coverage variation from Θ∑ = 2 to Θ∑ = 1. The pressure decreasing in the range 10.10 Pa corresponds to adhesive force decreasing because of summarized coverage decreasing, the pressure less 10 Pa corresponds to the cohesive force appearing instead of adhesive force and friction coefficient increasing.
Erectile Dysfunction and Depression in Males with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a Tertiary Healthcare Facility in Uyo, South-South Nigeria

Background: Co-morbidity between erectile dysfunction and depression is reported high among males with type 2 diabetes mellitus and these constitute a major public health challenge due to the number of persons affected by these conditions and the negative impact on their physical and mental wellbeing. Aim: This study assesses the prevalence of self-reported erectile dysfunction and depression among males with type 2 diabetes mellitus and examines factors associated with them. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study of 103 male subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were consecutively recruited from May 2019 to September 2019. Data were obtained with an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire. Sexual dysfunction was assessed using the international index of erectile function questionnaire (IIEF) and depressive symptoms were assessed using the Hamilton depression rating scale. Original Research Article Jombo et al.; AJMPCP, 3(1): 9-17, 2020; Article no.AJMPCP. 53976 10 Results: The mean age of the respondents was 62.78±14.1 year. Mean duration of illness and erectile dysfunction are 8.92±6.3 years and 5.64±5.7 years respectively. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction was 71.8%. About 50.2% of respondents reported severe degree of erectile dysfunction and 28.2% reported no erectile problems. Erectile dysfunction was significantly associated with depression in our sample (x 2 =9.26, P=.002). The mean depression score was 24.52±8.2 and the prevalence was 68.6%. Time with diabetes mellitus and glycaemic control status were factors significantly related to the risk of developing erectile dysfunction and depression. Conclusion: Erectile dysfunction and depression is highly prevalent among males with type 2 diabetes mellitus and these should be addressed in the course of treatment of these patients.

THE GELASTOCORIDAE OF AUSTRALIA (Hemiptera)

Our knowledge of the gelastocorid fauna of Australia has developed very slowly since the description of Mononyx suberosus Erichson (1842). The subsequent advances by Stal (1854 and 1863), Montandon (1899 and 1900), Horvath (1902), Distant (1904) and Todd (1955, 1957 and 1959) have all been taxonomic in scope, each consisting of descriptions of one or more new species and/or further discussion of those previously described. All the Australian species belong to the genus Nerthra. There has been some increase in our knowledge of the geographic distribution of the Australian species, but to date most of the collecting has been in the vicinities of the metropolitan areas and large areas of the con­ tinent remain to be collected. The present paper does not vary from those preceding it, except that it is based on a much larger assemblage of specimens, that all the previously described species are recognized and treated, and that certain problems relative to the eco­ logies, life histories and distributions of some of the species are discussed. It is my hope that the knowledge of the existence of these problems will stimulate students in Australia to attempt their solution. The 15 Australian species of Nerthra treated by Todd (1955) were assigned to the Alaticollis and Laticollis species groups. On the basis of further studies of much more material (only 45 specimens representing 12 species were available during the previous study) I now place the 21 Australian species into four species groups as follows:
Geomorphometry and statistics-based approach for recognition of areas of enhanced erosion and their morphotectonic interpretation

Areas of enhanced erosion may be considered as markers of tectonic processes as far as the signals resulting from non-tectonic controls of landform evolution can be isolated. In this study spatial distribution of strong erosional signal recorded in morphometric attributes of the land surface, longitudinal stream profiles and valley morphology is examined and confronted with lithological diversity of the area.
SISTEM SKORING OTOMATIS UNTUK DATA JAWABAN ESAI DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN PENDEKATAN KOMPUTASI: CLUSTERING DAN CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL

In the learning process, it is necessary to measure students’ ability to understand the level of students' understanding. Measurement of students' ability to learn can be done by giving questions as practices and examination. This measurement can be done by giving 2 types of questions, namely multiple choices and description. Multiple choices questions considered to be easier for students to answer questions. In addition, it will also be easier for the assessor to examine the students’ answers. However, the evaluation of description type is considered to be more effective because it involves writing, reasoning, and problem solving skills. In contrast to multiple-choice answers, which can be automatically scored, the assessment of the description type should be done manually by the assessors. Manual scoring takes a time and allows the subjectivity of the assessor. Therefore, a method is needed to perform the assessment automatically. Grading student answers automatically can be solved by text classification approach. Text classification is a method that aims to define a predetermined class or category of an object. In this research, the problem in description type is solved by implement text classification approach that has been developed by using Cluster and Convolutional Neural Networks. The research has obtained a model to classify the text on the student's description dataset by using the Convolutional Neural Network method. The research result has also obtained evaluation results by the proposed method when it is used to classify explanatory answers.
Flow Connectivity Patterns in Complex Anthropized Landscape: Application in Cinque Terre Terraced Site

In a study area with a complex dry stone walls terracing system located in the Cinque Terre National Park (Italy), a very high resolution map of the surface connectivity of the flows was generated. A 0.06m resolution DTM produced with aerial photogrammetric techniques by means of UAV allowed to obtain connectivity index (IC) maps that relate the surface flow lines, the IC index and the main instability and collapse processes in the terrace system. The proposed methodology can be integrated with another proposed method for the verification of local stability of dry stone walls. The methodologies are proposed as a new tool for future restoration projects of dry stone wall terraced systems.
Design of a robot-assisted exoskeleton for passive wrist and forearm rehabilitation

Abstract. This paper presents a new exoskeleton design for wrist and forearm rehabilitation. The contribution of this study is to offer a methodology which shows how to adapt a serial manipulator that reduces the number of actuators used on exoskeleton design for the rehabilitation. The system offered is a combination of end-effector- and exoskeleton-based devices. The passive exoskeleton is attached to the end effector of the manipulator, which provides motion for the purpose of rehabilitation process. The Denso VP 6-Axis Articulated Robot is used to control motion of the exoskeleton during the rehabilitation process. The exoskeleton is designed to be used for both wrist and forearm motions. The desired moving capabilities of the exoskeleton are flexion–extension (FE) and adduction–abduction (AA) motions for the wrist and pronation–supination (PS) motion for the forearm. The anatomical structure of a human limb is taken as a constraint during the design. The joints on the exoskeleton can be locked or unlocked manually in order to restrict or enable the movements. The parts of the exoskeleton include mechanical stoppers to prevent the excessive motion. One passive degree of freedom (DOF) is added in order to prevent misalignment problems between the axes of FE and AA motions. Kinematic feedback of the experiments is performed by using a wireless motion tracker assembled on the exoskeleton. The results proved that motion transmission from robot to exoskeleton is satisfactorily achieved. Instead of different exoskeletons in which each axis is driven and controlled separately, one serial robot with adaptable passive exoskeletons is adequate to facilitate rehabilitation exercises.
Evaluation of The Efficacy of Argon Laser in Treatment of Xanthelasma Palpebrarum using Ultrasound Biomicroscopy

Background: Xanthelasma palpebrarum [XP] is the most common of the xanthomas with asymptomatic, symmetrical, bilateral, soft, yellow, polygonal papules around the eyelids. The surgical laser offers an extremely elegant and powerful solution to this problem. Aim of the work:To evaluate the efficacy of Argon Laser in treatment of xanthelasma palpebrarum, based on ultrasound biomicroscopy [UBM]. Preoperatively, full history and clinical examination had been carried out. Patients and Methods: The study included 45 eyelids of 27 patients [13 males and 14 females] presenting with xanthelasma lesion. They underwent single session treatment of XP by Argon Laser, which had been performed on an outpatient basis. Postoperative UBM had been used to ensure eradication of the lesion. Follow up of the patient every 2 weeks in the first month then after 6 months]. Results: The UBM was successfully used preoperatively to determine the maximal lesion thickness that can be effectively safely eradicated in only single session. The therapy was well tolerated, and all lesions responded to the therapy in only single session. There were no functional or relevant aesthetic complications. The cosmetic outcome was considered to be excellent in 80% and good in 6.7%of the cases. The study included 45 eyelids, 36 [80.0%] of them had excellent, 3 [6.7%] had good, 2 [4.4%] had satisfactory and only 4[8.9%] patients had poor cosmetic outcome. There were no recorded recurrent cases [0.0%] in the present study. Conclusion: Argon laser photocoagulation [single session] represents an alternative treatment in selected cases. It is easy to be performed well tolerated by the patients. In addition, UBM was important to determine the maximal lesion thickness that can be eradicated safely in only one session.

Representation learning of knowledge graphs using convolutional neural networks

: Knowledge graphs have been playing an important role in many Arti-ﬁcial Intelligence (AI) applications such as entity linking, question answering and so forth. However, most of previous studies focused on the symbolic representation of knowledge graphs with structural information, which cannot deal well with new entities or rare entities with little relevant knowledge. In this paper, we propose a new deep knowledge representation architecture that jointly encodes both structure and textual information. We ﬁrst propose a novel neural model to encode the text descriptions of entities based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Secondly, an attention mechanism is applied to capture the valuable information from these descriptions. Then we introduce position vectors as supplementary information. Finally, a gate mechanism is designed to integrate representations of structure and text into the joint representation. Experimental results on two datasets show that our models obtain state-of-the-art results on link prediction and triplet classiﬁcation tasks, and achieve the best performance on the relation classiﬁcation task.
Tacit knowledge management at universities in Kenya

Tacit Knowledge (TK) is a resource that is embodied within individuals in the form of experiences, ideas, beliefs, values, and norms. The specific objectives of this study were to examine TK assets at universities in Kenya and establish how TK is managed at universities in Kenya. Qualitative research approach was adopted and multiple case studies through purposive sampling to explore how universities in Kenya are managing their TK. Data was collected through interviews from 39 key informants from the four case study sites. Data was analysed using; conversation analysis, computer assisted qualitative data analysis, and chi-square tests. This study is important because TK is quite essential for institutional functioning and progress. This study identifies human, innovation, and relational capital as assets that have helped institutions to grow in terms of work processes, decision making and creation of new products and/or services. Institutions may need to develop TK assets as tools of their core development goals. The findings of this study can influence TK management policy formulation.
Antiplatelet therapy after PCI in patients with high risk of bleeding

The progress of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) over the last few decades facilitated treatment of increasingly complex patient populations. The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DESs) led to need of stronger and prolonged inhibition of platelets which in turn increased the incidence of bleeding complications. The identification and management of patients at high bleeding risk (HBR) during and after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) is still problematic in everyday clinical practice.
Does the Netherlands-Based Consumer Disidentification Model Work in the US?

Alexander Josiassen (2011) initiated research on the consumer disidentification (CDI) concept and its impact on product purchase behavior. In his investigation, a predictive model that included CDI as an exogeneous factor in domestic product preference was tested on adult secondgeneration immigrants who were born in, and lived in, the Netherlands. The model also incorporated consumer ethnocentrism (CET) as a second predictor variable. Josiassen's study showed that CDI negatively affected the purchase of products made domestically or by domestic firms. Conversely, CET was found to have a positive effect on the purchase of these products. Furthermore, relationships of CDI and CET to purchase intentions were independent of each other. In the Netherlands model, both variables were hypothesized to explain domestic product preference directly and indirectly through domestic product judgment. This paper replicates and assesses the generalizability of the CDI construct and model. Replication of the Netherland CDI model in the U.S. results in an acceptable measurement fit, but a slightly below acceptable structural fit.
SINGULARITY-FREE BUNDLE ADJUSTMENT

Abstract. The photogrammetric bundle adjustment is well-behaved in the case of structured aerial imagery looking in the nadir direction. That is less so in the case of ground-level imagery with less structure and potentially looking in any direction. Besides, the cost function based on reprojection errors of tie points is not defined everywhere and exhibits singularities which renders this bundle adjustment process sensitive to initial conditions and outliers. In order to handle difficult configurations without incurring the risks posed by the reprojection function, we propose a new error function that is equivalent to the reprojection error when this error tends to zero, and that enjoys many desirables properties, such as being defined everywhere and being continuous. This allows an easier implementation of a robust bundle adjustment, and incidentally it also allows to solve derivative problems such as triangulating points starting from arbitrary initial positions, or estimating the relative positions of calibrated and oriented cameras starting from arbitrary positions, thus offering a simple solution to the known-orientation structure-from-motion problem.
Neoproterozoic Windermere Supergroup Near Bayhorse, Idaho: Late‐Stage Rodinian Rifting Was Deflected West Around the Belt Basin

Conflicting models of Rodinian rifting have been proposed to explain the recognized variation in the Neoproterozoic and early Cambrian tectonostratigraphic architecture of the western Laurentian margin. However, discrimination among rift models is hampered by limited exposure and metamorphism of the rocks. Southeastern Idaho preserves more than 6 km of Neoproterozoic and Cambrian strata. In contrast, along the inferred continuation of the margin in east central Idaho, correlative rocks are missing across the Lemhi arch. Our field mapping and U‐Pb dating studies, located approximately 50 km west of the Lemhi arch unconformity, focused on a succession of regionally extensive rocks that were previously assigned an Ordovician age. We show that ~1.5 km of strata here overlies a ~667 Ma reworked felsic tuff and was intruded by a 601 ± 27 Ma gabbro sill; we thus redesignate these rocks as Cryogenian and Ediacaran in age. These rocks are overlain by a ~1 km thick Ediacaran to middle Cambrian quartzite. Middle Ordovician quartzites overlie these middle Cambrian strata, indicating that though Neoproterozoic and lower Cambrian rocks are present west of the Lemhi arch, upper Cambrian and Lower Ordovician rocks are thin or absent. Comparison of this redesignated section to the closest correlative sections suggests an initial stage of symmetric rifting followed by later asymmetric rifting. We suggest that prerifting ~1,370 Ma magmatism within the Belt basin produced lithospheric rigidity that influenced the final stage of rifting and produced heterogeneity in the geometries of structural domains similar to those documented in other well‐defined, modern rift margins.
