RENAL HISTOPATHOLOGICAL PROFILE IN PATIENTS WITH SILENT LUPUS NEPHRITIS

Background: Silent lupus nephritis (SLN) is a life menacing consequence of systemic lupus erythematous (SLE). This condition is characterized by pathological impairment of the kidney in the obscurity of clinical or laboratory manifestations. Objective: To reveal the existence of SLN along with the potential differences between overt lupus nephritis (OLN) and SLN among a sample of Egyptian patients based on histopathological assessment. Patients and Methods: It is a prospective case-control study which was performed at nephrology units, internal medicine department, Elhussein and Sayed Galal university hospitals, faculty of medicine, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt, throughout the entire period April 2016 to November 2019. Patients aged more than 18 years (216 months) and fulfilled at least 4 of the American College of Rheumatology criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were enrolled in the current study. Patients were further assorted into two groups; patients with SLN and those with OLN. Patients were subjected to the following investigations: 1.Complete blood count, using Coulter counter Max-M (Coulter Cooperation, Florida, USA) 2.Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, (Wester green method) (Ref: < 20mm/hr) 3.S. Albumin, S. Creatinine. Albumin/Creatinine ratio. Creatinine clearanc & eGFR using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula. 4. Liver function tests. 5. Coagulation profile. 6. Urine analysis (Fresh morning midstream urine) to exclude infection. 7. Quantitative assessment of proteinuria by Pr/creat. Ratio (Ref. <0.2). Assessment of auto-antibodies and complement system: Autoantibodies to ds-DNA, RNP. SSA, SSB, Sm and Scl-70, C4 and C3 serum levels were assessed in all of the included patients. In particular, the titer of anti-dsDNA antibodies was evaluated by enzymeRadiological evaluation: Patients were subjected to pelvi-abdominal ultrasound in order to obtain valuable data about the morphological appearance of the kidney and to detect any urological abnormality. Renal biopsy: Percutaneous renal biopsy was carried out under local anesthesia. Results: An overall 40 patients with SLE who developed lupus nephritis were enrolled in the current study. Among them, 20 patients had OLN, whereas 20 patients were SLN. Based on ISN/RPS Classification, stage II was the predominant stage, 13 patients, among patients with SLN, whilst stage V was the predominant stage among the OLN patients. Additionally, five and three patients were stage III among the SLN and OLN groups, respectively. Furthermore, the presence of RBCs Cast (r=0.479, P=0.032) in urine and decreased levels of complement (r=0.676, P=0.001) showed a statistically significant positive correlation with the high grades of lupus nephritis among SLN group. Conclusion: Patients with SLE should be subjected to close follow up evaluation and renal biopsy for early detection of SLN to determine the activity, severity, and chronicity of LN.

Playout Optimization

—To generate playouts, we successively play moves and update the current list of possible moves. This last task can be costly if we analyze a too large area of the gameboard. We introduce the Range Query technique which speeds up playouts’ generation by a factor of about 10. By using a careful numbering of the moves, this technique locates the moves in the list in relation with the played move and updates them by analyzing only relevant squares of the gameboard. This technique uses very little memory and all the game data can remain in the L1 CPU cache which helps to improve performance. We also use SSE2 optimization to improve the performance of list processing. This rather general technique can be reused in any game where the invalidated and the new moves are in the neighborhood of the move that has been played. The performance gain can impact any algorithm based on playouts’ generation. For the experiments, we test our technique with the NMCS and NRPA algorithms on the 5D and 5T variants of the Morpion Solitaire.
The Clothing Manifesto: A Post-Communist Analysis of Nostalgia in Fashion Advertising

Understanding audiences is crucial for successful ad campaigns. Thus, it is important for companies to strategically capitalize on their target audience’s identity, which is often shaped by their environment. Past research has examined the impact of communism on advertising, however there is no existing research specific to the fashion industry. This research seeks to understand how Berlin’s communist history impacts modern fashion advertising. The study examines markers for communism and capitalism in two multinational fashion campaigns, the Gucci’s Spring Summer 2016 campaign and Levi’s “Go Forth” campaign, both of which were shot in Berlin. Using a qualitative thematic analysis, this study finds that multinational fashion companies embrace the post-communist consumer identity through the combination of elements of nostalgia along with modern trends. These findings are significant for multinational fashion companies as they can better appeal to their target audience’s identity through the use of nostalgia, and further develop strong affinity for the brand.
Identification of Gastrointestinal Protozoa in Long-Tailed Macaque (Macaca fascicularis) in Sabang

This study aimed to determine the types of gastrointestinal protozoa that infested long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) in Sabang Municipality. This study could be used as a basis of consideration for controlling zoonotic diseases caused by gastrointestinal protozoa. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Parasitology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Syiah Kuala. This study used 60 samples of M. fascicularis faeces collected from two sub-districts, 30 samples of Sukakarya District and 30 samples from Sukajaya District. Samples were examined using the floatation, formol ether, and modified acid-fast ziehl-neelsen method. The results showed that the highest infestation of protozoa in long-tailed macaque from Sukakarya was Cyclospora cayetanensis species (73%), followed by the genus Eimeria sp. (53%), Balantidium sp. (46%) and Cryptosporidium parvum species (43%). Long-tailed macaque from Sukajaya was found to be highly infested by Balantidium (53%), followed by Eimeria sp. (46%), Cyclospora cayetanensis (30%) and Cryptosporidium parvum (13%). The results exhibited that there were 4 genera or species of gastrointestinal protozoa that attack long-tailed macaque in Sabang City, namely Eimeria sp. , Balantidium sp. , Cyclospora cayetanensis and Cryptosporidium parvum species.

Ultrasonic pretreatment of food waste to accelerate enzymatic hydrolysis to glucose

: Recovering valuable materials from food waste by applying the concept of a bio-refinery is attracting considerable interest. To this effect, we investigated the possibility of enhancing the enzymatic hydrolysis of food waste using ultrasonic technology. The effect of pretreating blended food waste with high-intensity ultrasound (20 kHz) on subsequent hydrolysis by glucoamylase was investigated as a function of sonication time and temperature. Particle sizing by laser diffraction, and imaging via scanning electronic microscopy showed that ultrasonic pre-treatment could reduce the particle size of the blended food waste significantly, resulting in a better interaction with the enzyme. As a consequence, the glucose yield of enzymatic hydrolysis was ~10% higher for food waste pre-sonicated using the most intensive ultrasonication conditions studied (5 min sonication at a power of 0.8 W/mL at 20 o C) than for the untreated control. In addition, the time required to achieve high yields of glucose could be more than halved using ultrasonic pretreatment. This could enable the hydrolysis reactor size or the enzyme usage to be reduced by more than 50%. Therefore, an ultrasound-assisted bioconversion process from food waste to a value-added product has been demonstrated.
Artistic Recoloring of Image Oversegmentations

We propose a method to assign vivid colors to regions of an oversegmented image. We restrict the output colors to those found in an input palette, and seek to preserve the recognizability of structure in the image. Our strategy is to match the color distances between the colors of adjacent regions with the color differences between the assigned palette colors; thus, assigned colors may be very far from the original colors, but both large local differences (edges) and small ones (uniform areas) are maintained. We use the widest path algorithm on a graph-based structure to obtain a spanning tree over the set of regions, then traverse the tree to assign colors in a greedy fashion. Our method produces vivid recolorings of region-based abstraction using arbitrary palettes. We demonstrate a set of stylizations that can be generated by our algorithm.
The Role of Social Media in Building Brand Equity: A Study on the Facebook Pages of the Airlines Sector in Egypt

Airlines are continuously searching for better approaches to engage with their current and potential passengers. Social networking sites with its interactive nature have allowed these corporations to engage with customers in a two-way online dialogue. This article aims at investigating the role of the content that are created by airlines on their Facebook pages as well as the content that is posted by passengers in enhancing customer-based brand equity and purchase intention in the airline industry. A quantitative study was adopted for data collection through questionnaires. An online questionnaire was posted on a number of Facebook pages of three Egyptian airlines. Testing of the proposed conceptual framework was performed using the partial least squared structural equation modeling approach (PLSSEM). The results indicated that the content that is created by the airlines only affected the brand awareness component of brand equity. As expected, the findings showed that the content that is posted by the passengers on the Facebook pages of the airlines significantly influenced all dimensions of brand equity. Finally, the findings confirmed the significant impact of these four dimensions on passengers’ purchase intention. The paper contributes to online marketing field by examining the roles that different forms of social media content have in enhancing passengers’ relationships with the airlines. Also, it underscores the critical value of user-generated content on social media in affecting passengers’ opinions about the airline companies. Moreover, it provides some guidelines for airlines to fully utilize the power of social media marketing. 1 Received in 3/2/2021, accepeted in 25/2/2021. 2 Dr. Hazem Rasheed Gaber is currently Assistant Professor at Marketing & International Business Department, College of Management & Technology, Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (hazem.rasheed@aast.edu) 3 Dr. Ahmed Moussa Elsamadicy is currently Associate Professor at Hotels & Tourism Department, College of Management & Technology, Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (asamadicy@aast.edu) Journal of Alexandria University for Administrative Sciences© Vol. 58, No. 2, March 2021 The Role of Social Media in Building Brand Equity [128]
1Mbit 1T1C 3D DRAM with Monolithically Stacked One Planar FET and Two Vertical FET Heterogeneous Oxide Semiconductor layers over Si CMOS

We have formed heterogeneous oxide semiconductor FETs (OSFETs) in one planar FET layer and two vertical FET (VFET) layers over Si by monolithically stacking OSFETs on top of Si CMOS. Formation of IOSIC DRAM memory cells in the VFET layers and a primary sense amplifier (1st SA) in the planar FET layer has realized a memory with different functions such as memory switching and signal amplification in different layers for the first time. As a result, special features, which are three-dimensional monolithic stacking of memory and long date retention, are implemented.

The Effect of Observing Multiple Private Information Outcomes on the Inclination to Cheat

We investigate how the inclination to cheat changes when agents report the result of multiple realizations of a (private information) stochastic event rather than a single outcome. Multiple realizations render extreme outcomes unlikely, facilitating the identification of opportunistic behaviors and exposing to reputation concerns the individuals who report them. Consequently, multiple realizations lead to a significant reduction of cheating by large amounts. Simultaneously multiple realizations also diminish the intrinsic cost of lying, thereby inducing a widespread inclination to adjust upward the observed outcome in a plausible manner. The overall effect is only a marginal decrease in the degree of cheating.
Learning Policies for Effective Incentive Allocation in Unknown Social Networks

Most existing incentive allocation approaches rely on sufficient information about users’ attributes, such as their preferences, fol-lowers in the social network, and activities, to customize effective incentives. However, this may lead to failure when such knowledge is unavailable. In this light, we propose an end-to-end reinforcement learning-based framework, named Geometric Actor-Critic (GAC), to discover effective incentive allocation policies towards users in a social network. More specifically, given a limited budget, the proposed approach can extract information from a high-level network representation for learning effective incentive allocation policies. The proposed GAC only requires the topology of the social network and does not rely on any prior information about users’ attributes. We use three real-world social network datasets to evaluate the performance of the proposed GAC. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Sensing Radius Adjustment in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Game Theoretical Approach

— Wireless sensor networks consist of a collection of sensor nodes deployed densely and randomly to fully cover a set of targets. Due to high redundancy incurred, it is possible to both preserve energy and enhance coverage quality by first switching off some sensors and then adjusting the sensing radius of the remaining ones. In this paper, the problem of target coverage in wireless sensor networks is studied by keeping a small number of active sensor nodes and adjusting the sensing radius of nodes. We propose a new game theory-based algorithm to target coverage. Inspired by current challenges in energy-limited sensor networks, we formulate the target coverage problem with adjustable sensing range as a repeated multiplayer game in which a utility function is formulated to consider the tradeoff between energy consumption and coverage quality. To solve the formulated game and achieve the Nash equilibrium, we present a distributed payoff based learning algorithm where each sensor only remembers its utility values and actions played during the last plays. The simulation results demonstrate the performance of our proposed game-theoretic algorithm and its superiority over previous approaches in terms of increasing the coverage rate and reducing the number of active nodes.
Preparation and investigation of optical properties and photocatalytic activity of SnO2/GO thin films

In this paper, SnO2-pure and SnO2/GO thin films with different concentrations of graphene oxide (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 g/ml) were synthesized using spin coating method. The synthesized thin films were used to study the structural, morphology, chemical, optical and photocatalytic degradation of Methyl Orange (MO) under UV light irradiation by X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Raman spectroscopy, Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy and UV light respectively. The XRD results of graphene oxide show that the peak is very sharp with high intensity, which indicates a very good crystallinity of the GO structure. The band gape value of SnO2/GO thin films increase by increasing of GO concentration. Under UV light irradiation, the photocatalytic activity of synthesized samples was measured using Methyl Orange dye. The obtained results indicate that by adding graphene oxide concentration, the photocatalytic activity of the tin oxide thin film increases.
AN EMPIRICAL EVALUATION OF THE IMPACT OF INSTITUTIONS ON HARD POWER1

Would countries with stronger institutions and governance lead to less or more hard power? This article empirically analyzes this issue and corroborates the idea that countries with stronger institutions and good governance have a lower level of hard power, with it being understood here that hard power is basically symbolized by military spending. For this purpose, we used the World Bank’s database of World Governance Indicators and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’s (SIPRI) database for military spending, for a group of 153 countries. Estimates point to this relationship with some robustness through instrumental variable techniques, identifying, for example, that increased voice and accountability in countries would lead to lower military spending. Robustness tests using the cointegration technique corroborate the idea that more democracy leads to less hard power.
PII: S0304-4076(01)00086-0

In this paper we outline conditions under which the Diebold and Mariano (DM) (J. Bus. Econom. Statist. 13 (1995) 253) test for predictive ability can be extended to the case of two forecasting models, each of which may include cointegrating relations, when allowing for parameter estimation error. We show that in the cases where either the loss function is quadratic or the length of the prediction period, P, grows at a slower rate than the length of the regression period, R, the standard DM test can be used. On the other hand, in the case of a generic loss function, if P=R→ as T →∞, 0¡ ¡∞, then the asymptotic normality result of West (Econometrica 64 (1996) 1067) no longer holds. We also extend the “data snooping” technique of White (Econometrica 68 (2000) 1097) for comparing the predictive ability of multiple forecasting models to the case of cointegrated variables. In a series of Monte Carlo experiments, we examine the impact of both short run and cointegrating vector parameter estimation error on DM, data snooping, and related tests. Our results suggest that size is reasonable for R and P greater than 50, and power improves with P, as expected. Furthermore, the additional cost, in terms of size distortion, due to the estimation of the cointegrating relations is not substantial. We illustrate the use of the tests in a nonnested cointegration framework by forming prediction models for industrial production which include two interest rate variables, prices, and either M1, M2, or M3. 2001 Elsevier Science S.A.

Revisiting Calohypsibiidae and Microhypsibiidae : Fractonotus Pilato , 1998 and its phylogenetic position within Isohypsibiidae ( Eutardigrada : Parachela )

Tardigrades constituting the order Parachela are characterised by a generally uniform, worm-like external morphology. Taxa with larger, well-pronounced dorsal cuticular protuberances, tubercles and spines are found in seven genera representing various evolutionary lineages within Hypsibioidea and Isohypsibioidea: Calohypsibius Thulin, 1928 (Calohypsibiidae), Fractonotus Pilato, 1998 (Microhypsibiidae), Ramazzottius Binda & Pilato, 1986 (Ramazzottiidae), Hypsibius Ehrenberg, 1848 and Pilatobius Bertolani, Guidetti, Marchioro, Altiero, Rebecchi & Cesari, 2014 (Hypsibiidae), and Doryphoribius Pilato, 1969 and Isohypsibius Thulin, 1928 (Isohypsibiidae). Here, we present the first integrative analysis of a rare eutardigrade species, Calohypsibius verrucosus (Richters, 1900), classified until now within the superfamily Hypsibioidea. The species, having a strongly sculptured cuticle, only superficially resembles Calohypsibius but the modified Isohypsibius-type claws and the morphology of the buccal apparatus place it in a different genus, Fractonotus. The genus is currently classified within the family Microhypsibiidae and superfamily Hypsibioidea, but the first molecular data for Fractonotus show that it should be transferred to the family Isohypsibiidae within the superfamily Isohypsibioidea. We also show ontogenetic variability in cuticle morphology, which, together with the high intraspecific variability of F. verrucosus n. comb. , allowed us to designate Calohypsibius placo­ phorus (da Cunha, 1943) as a junior synonym of the former species. Furthermore, an analysis of type specimens of Isohypsibius gilvus Biserov, 1986 demonstrated its affinity to the revised Fractono­ tus. Finally, the diagnoses for Microhypsibiidae, Calohypsibiidae, Calohypsibius and Fractonotus are amended and claw morphology is suggested as a key trait for disentangling phyletic affinities within Isohypsibiidae sensu lato.
