Review on Effects of Conventional Physiotherapy in Muscle Strength using Meta-Analytic Critical Conventional Physiotherapy Method

This examination expected to efficiently survey distributed exploration written works to distinguish and assess the viability of Conventional Physiotherapy (CP) training on progress in muscle quality in moderately aged and old female people analyzed as having Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Different information bases having articles distributed somewhere in the range of 2000 and 2016, for example, - PubMed, Web of Science, ProQuest, CINAHL, &Ebscohost are deliberately looked for articles identified with knee OA. Just unmistakable, meta-systematic and interventional investigation articles are held. Generally, impact size with 95% “confidence intervals (CIs)” is utilized to survey the quality of connection among intercessions and development in muscle quality between old OA of knee patients, by utilizing an arbitrary impacts model. Heterogeneity was likewise assessed. Nine exploratory investigations were chosen and remembered for the audit, out of 4 are randomized controlled preliminaries & remaining are pseudo-randomized controlled preliminaries. The surveys deliberating drug co-mediations are prohibited. Normalized impact sizes with 95% CIs are determined from pre-mediation and post-intercession methods for CP preparing gathering and other mediation or no-mediation gathering. Accordingly, the valuable effect of CP preparing in developing muscle-quality in OA patients didn't get affirmed. This discovery suggests that next investigations following thorough approach are needed to infer complete proof to affirm the gainful impacts of CP preparing on progress in muscle quality between old patients experiencing OA of the knee.
Using Mobile Location Data to Assess Sponsorship Effectiveness

Out-of-home (OOH) advertising is a form of marketing communication that reaches consumers while they are outside their homes. Stadium advertising, billboards, bus wraps, kiosks and transit furniture exemplify the range of formats OOH advertising can adopt. This outdoor medium is rapidly evolving as digital screens replace static signage in urban environments and public venues, extending digital ad campaigns to the physical world. As part of the digital evolution of OOH advertising, marketers can more easily update the content, offering the potential to increase the performance of OOH advertising. Consumers are also paying more attention and engaging with outdoor media. 90% of consumers noticed OOH advertising within the past month and 66% of consumers have taken action on their smartphones after seeing an outdoor ad, according to a recent report (Nielsen 2019). As consumers pass 70% of their waking hours away from their homes, spend on OOH advertising is expected to grow faster than spend on other traditional ad platforms and to exceed $78 billion worldwide by 2023 (eMarketer 2019, Rosen 2019).
A Survey of Two Dominant Low Power and Long Range Communication Technologies

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects various kinds of things such as physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, etc. to each other enabling them to exchange data. The IoT also allows objects to be sensed or controlled remotely and results in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefits. Therefore, the number of connected devices through IoT is increasing rapidly. Machina Research estimates that the IoT will consist of about 2.6 billion objects by 2020. Different network technologies have been developed to provide connectivity of this large number of devices, like WiFi for cellular-based connections, ZigBee and Bluetooth for indoor connections and Low Power Wide Area Network's (LPWAN) for low power long-distance connections. LPWAN may be used as a private network, or may also be a service offered by a third party, allowing companies to deploy it without investing in gateway technology. Two available leading technologies for LPWAN are narrow-band systems and wide-band plus coding gain systems. In the first one, receiver bandwidth is scaled down to reduce noise seen by the receiver, while in the second one, coding gain is added to the higher rate signal to combat the high receiver noise in a wideband receiver. Both LoRa and NB-IoT standards were developed to improve security, power efficiency, and interoperability for IoT devices. They support bidirectional communication, and both are designed to scale well, from a few devices to millions of devices. LoRa operates in low frequencies, particularly in an unlicensed spectrum, which avoids additional subscription costs in comparison to NB-IoT, but has lower Quality of Service. NB-IoT is designed to function in a 200kHz carrier re-farmed from GSM, with the additional advantage of being able to operate in a shared spectrum with an existing LTE network. But in the other hand, it has lower battery lifetime and capacity. This paper is a survey on both systems. The review includes an in-depth study of their essential parameters such as battery lifetime, capacity, cost, QoS, latency, reliability, and range and presents a comprehensive comparison between them. This paper reviews created testbeds of recent researches over both systems to compare and verify their performance.

Performance Predictions for Adaptive Cloud-Based Systems using FMC-QE

—This paper presents an application of an analytical performance prediction approach to (self-)adaptive cloud-based systems. The methodology called Fundamental Modeling Concepts for Quantitative Evaluation (FMC-QE) uses three perspectives to hierarchically describe the performance behavior of a system. This methodology is now applied to cloud-based systems with inﬁnite and parallel server capacities and further, the ideas are ported to the world of (self-)adaptive systems. Furthermore, a case study is shown as an example of such models.
Diabetes as the risk of cancer: a literature review

Cancer is a non-communicable disease with high mortality and morbidity rates. Data recorded by GLOBOCAN in 2018 shows the number of cancer patients is reached 18 million people with a death rate of 9 million people and predicted to increase every year. Diabetes is known to affect morbidity and mortality in cancer patients through increasing cancer cell proliferation and the risk of metastasis. This literature study not only explains the epidemiology, but also the mechanisms underlying the association of diabetes to cancer in general. Literature search was done using four search engines from PubMed, ProQuest, Science Direct and Google Scholar in the last 5 year, but relevant older articles were included. Cancer occurs due to the carcinogenesis process. This process is complex, where normal cells do not immediately mutate and become cancer cells but through several stages. The possible mechanisms underlying carcinogenesis in diabetic patients are hyperglycaemia, hyperinsulinemia, chronic inflammation, genetic variation, obesity, and hyperlactatemia. Examination of sugar levels in cancer patients, as well as cancer screening in patients with diabetes need to be done to detect early events and reduce morbidity and mortality.
The Effect of Traditional Games and Free Play on the Motor Skills of Preschool Children

A child’s play is critical to whole child development. However, literature related to how traditional games and unstructured free play is limited. This study investigated if traditional games and free play could influence the motor skills of preschool children. One hundred and ninety-two children (Traditional Group: n = 114, M age = 4.5 & Play Group: n = 78, M age: 4.7) were recruited. Traditional Group played five types of traditional games while Play Group had free play over 20 sessions in 5 weeks. The MABC-2 was used to assess their motor skills. Data were analysed in three groups: All, performing 30 and Underperforming 30. The results showed that all participants made significant improvements in balance and overall motor skills with either traditional games or free play. Within the Performing 30 category, the Traditional Group performed significantly better in manual dexterity and overall motor skills as compared with the Play Group. However, both groups improved significantly in manual dexterity, balance abilities and overall motor skills within the Underperforming 30 category. This suggested that irrespective of structured traditional games or unstructured free play, child’s play has positive benefits on the development of motor skills especially for children with poorer motor skills.
Reciprocal Use of Artificial Intelligence in Audit Assignments

The purpose of this study is to examine the use of artificial intelligence to improve audit quality, combined with the competence and skepticism of auditors on client satisfaction. The unit of analysis in this study was selected as a sample based on the purposive sampling method which was chosen deliberately with certain criteria that have been determined by the researcher. The main source of data used in this study comes from primary data, namely questionnaires distributed directly via email to each respondent. Respondents in this study were middle level management, who were directly related to auditors at the time of the audit of companies listed on the Jakarta Stock Exchange. The sample in this study numbered 229 respondents who were processed and analyzed using SEM PLS. This research is based on the Society 5.0 era where data connects and moves everything; a system that connects the virtual world and the real world. The era of the fourth industrial revolution, where the discovery of the internet of things allows the interconnection between machines, big data, acquisition, machine learning, smart factories and others, and financial reports to be made using a computerized system. The global Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on almost all sectors and restrictions on activities. As a result of the corona virus, most activities or work are carried out from home. The results of this study prove that the effect of the application of artificial intelligence combined with auditor competence and auditor professional skepticism creates client satisfaction.
Climate model-informed deep learning of global soil moisture
distribution

Abstract. We present a deep neural network (DNN) that produces accurate predictions of observed surface soil moisture, based on meteorological data from a climate model. The network was trained on daily satellite retrievals of soil moisture from the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (CCI). The predictors precipitation, temperature and humidity were simulated with the ECHAM/MESSy atmospheric chemistry-climate model (EMAC). Our evaluation shows that predictions of the trained DNN are highly correlated with the observations, both, spatially and temporally, and free of bias. This offers an alternative for parametrisation schemes in climate models, especially in simulations that use, but may not focus on soil moisture, which we illustrate with the threshold wind speed for mineral dust emissions. Moreover, the DNN can provide proxies for missing values in satellite observations to produce realistic, comprehensive, high resolution global datasets. As the approach presented here could be similarly used for other variables and observations, the study is a proof of concept for basic but expedient machine learning techniques in climate modelling, which may motivate additional applications.
IMPLEMENTATION OF HOTS IN DEBATE STRATEGY TO IMPROVE THE ABILITY OF SPEAKING ARABIC AMONG STUDENTS

Teaching Arabic as a second language in higher institutions to students who are non-Arabic speakers has been a challenge. Although different methods and strategies have been implemented in different places, the results remain same. The phenomenon of students who cannot speak Arabic actively is seen as a common problem in many universities. Among the reasons is that the lecturers have not been able to implement appropriate learning strategies in teaching foreign languages. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of the implementation of debate strategies in improving students’ Arabic speaking skills and critical thinking. This study uses a pre-experimental design to know the effectiveness of applying the debate strategy. Data collection uses instruments in the form of tests, observations and documentation, and the data are analyzed quantitatively. The results show that the application of the debate strategy can improve Arabic speaking skills and critical thinking of students with t-count > t-table (3.5 > 2.09) which means that the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. Thus the application of HOTS in the Arabic debate strategy can improve students' speaking skills and critical thinking. The results of this study provide input for using HOTS in every learning activity to be more effective in improving learning outcomes.

SCREENING AND ISOLATION OF THERMOPHILIC FUNGI OBTAINED FROM THREE SELECTED COMPOST WASTES SITES

the presences of lipase, cellulase and protease producing fungi present in samples collected from palm oil mill, wood chips pills and abattoir dump site respectively. The isolated fungi were used for enzyme production in submerged fermentation for 10 days at 50 O C. Culture filtrate obtained from the medium of production were used for the assessment of enzymatic activity. The highest lipase, cellulase and protease activities were obtained from isolates 3 A (56.56 U/mL), 3A (38.35 U/mL) and 2B (3.0 U/mL) respectively. These isolates with high enzymes activities were identified microscopically as Rhizopus sp. , Aspergillus flavus and Neurospora sp . accordingly. We believed that these strains could be further exploited for numerous industrial applications that require thermophilic enzymes.
Large-scale changes of the semidiurnal tide along North Atlantic coasts from 1846 to 2018

Abstract. We investigated the long-term changes of the principal tidal component M2 along North Atlantic coasts, from 1846 to 2018. We analysed 18 tide gauges with time series starting no later than 1940. The longest is Brest with 165 years of observations. We carefully processed the data, particularly to remove the 18.6-year nodal modulation. We found that M2 variations are consistent at all the stations in the North-East Atlantic (Cuxhaven, Delfzijl, Hoek van Holland, Newlyn, Brest), whereas some discrepancies appear in the North-West Atlantic. The changes started long before the 20th century and are not linear. The secular trends in M2 amplitude vary from one station to another; most of them are positive, up to 2.5 mm/yr at Wilmington since 1910. Since 1990, the trends switch from positive to negative values in the North-East Atlantic. Concerning the possible causes of the observed changes, the similarity between the North Atlantic Oscillation and M2 variations in the North-East Atlantic suggests a possible influence of the large-scale atmospheric circulation on the tide. Our statistical analysis confirms large correlations at all the stations in the North-East Atlantic. We discuss a possible underlying mechanism. A different spatial distribution of mean sea level (corresponding to water depth) from one year to another, depending on the low-frequency sea-level pressure patterns, could impact the propagation of the tide in the North Atlantic basin. However, the hypothesis is at present unproven.
Preventing Deterioration of Active Vibration Control Effect Due to Aging Deterioration and Damage based on Deep Learning

Abstract. When designing a building's active vibration control, it is necessary to properly evaluate the effect on the control effect caused by changes in vibration characteristics due to aging deterioration and damage. However, although the previous designs have certain robustness against changes in vibration characteristics, they have insufficient on these control effect. In this paper, we establish a method based on deep learning to identify changes in vibration characteristics. Using this method, we can achieve to prevent reduction of the active control effect.
Development of a Biodegradable Microcarrier for the Cultivation of Human Adipose Stem Cells (hASCs) with a Defined Xeno- and Serum-Free Medium

Stirred single-use bioreactors in combination with microcarriers (MCs) have established themselves as a technology that has the potential to meet the demands of current and future cell therapeutic markets. However, most of the published processes have been performed using fetal bovine serum (FBS) containing cell culture medium and non-biocompatible MCs. This approach has two significant drawbacks: firstly, the inevitable potential risks associated with the use of FBS for clinical applications; secondly, non-biocompatible MCs have to be removed from the cell suspension before implantation, requiring a step that causes loss of viable cells and adds further costs and complications. This study aimed to develop a new platform based on a chemically defined xeno- and serum-free cell culture medium and biodegradable MC that can support the growth of human adipose stem cells (hASCs) while still preserving their undifferentiated status. A specific combination of components and manufacturing parameters resulted in a MC prototype, called “BR44”, which delivered the desired functionality. MC BR44 allows the hASCs to stick to its surface and grow in a chemically defined xeno- and serum-free medium (UrSuppe). Although the cells’ expansion rate was not as high as with a commercial non-biodegradable standard MC, those cultured on BR44 maintained a better undifferentiated status in both static and dynamic conditions than those cultured on traditional 2D surfaces.
Effectiveness of maggot extractions and secretion (E/S) of Lucilia sericata in reducing wound surface in experimental scalding burn injury

Abstract. Amiri ZS, Akbarzadeh K, Douraghi M, Abdi KM, Afshar AA, Ghaffari J, Kordshouli RS, Akbari M, Rafinejad J. 2021. Effectiveness of maggot extractions and secretion (E/S) of Lucilia sericata in reducing wound surface in an experimental scalding burn injury. Nusantara Bioscience 13: 11-15. Lucilia sericata larvae have been successfully used as medicinal larvae for wound healing. This study was performed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of the primary ointment made from excretory-secretory substances of L.sericata larvae on experimental burn wounds on rabbits under laboratory conditions. Extraction of ES from the third stage of L.sericata larvae and antibiogram testing was done. Four rabbits were randomly divided into four groups; three standard third-grade burn wounds were created on the back of each rabbit for intervention groups (B, D) of wounds were used respectively from the original ointment made from ES and ES without accompanying material. Nitrofurazone ointment was used for the positive (C) and placebo ointment was used for the negative (A). On the 21st day, all scars of wounds in groups B and D were separated and the wound was free of infectious tissue, whereas in groups A and C that the scars were clinging to the base. The level of the ulcer was significantly lower in the E/S intervention group and the infectious tissue was not observed during the treatment of group B and D wounds. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) did not show resistance to excretory-secretory substances of L. sericata larvae. The debridement and recovery process was faster in the ES-treated group and the initial ointment than in the control group. The results showed that maggot extractions and secretion (E/S) of L. sericata in reducing wound healing is appropriate for treatment.
Brain Dynamics Altered by Photic Stimulation in Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment

Individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are at high risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Repetitive photic stimulation (PS) is commonly used in routine electroencephalogram (EEG) examinations for rapid assessment of perceptual functioning. This study aimed to evaluate neural oscillatory responses and nonlinear brain dynamics under the effects of PS in patients with mild AD, moderate AD, severe AD, and MCI, as well as healthy elderly controls (HC). EEG power ratios during PS were estimated as an index of oscillatory responses. Multiscale sample entropy (MSE) was estimated as an index of brain dynamics before, during, and after PS. During PS, EEG harmonic responses were lower and MSE values were higher in the AD subgroups than in HC and MCI groups. PS-induced changes in EEG complexity were less pronounced in the AD subgroups than in HC and MCI groups. Brain dynamics revealed a “transitional change” between MCI and Mild AD. Our findings suggest a deficiency in brain adaptability in AD patients, which hinders their ability to adapt to repetitive perceptual stimulation. This study highlights the importance of combining spectral and nonlinear dynamical analysis when seeking to unravel perceptual functioning and brain adaptability in the various stages of neurodegenerative diseases.
