Prediction of Heart Rate Abnormalities Using Data Mining Techniques

Heart rate arrhythmias have become one of the most popular heart issues in human beings at recent years . It has opened a way to many researchers to classify the heart beats issues in the medical field for detecting the arrhythmia signals at early stages which will help in reducing the death rates. The research focuses on classifying the arrhythmias in the ECG signal for the 5 different categories of signals in the MIT-BIH dataset. A lot of research has been done in the classification for arrhythmias signal using various data mining techniques. Logistic Regression and CNN algorithms were implemented to classify the heart beat signals and aims at providing better accuracy in predicting the signals. Both the implemented models have been compared in terms of accuracy, precision, recall and computational time. The evaluation results of the deep leaning model - CNN turned out to be high in accuracy of 99.09% when compared with the machine learning model. This research helps out in classifying the heartbeat rate arrhythmias at early stages for enhanced treatment.
The Araucaria Project: Deep Near-infrared Photometric Maps of Local and Sculptor Group Galaxies. I. Carina, Fornax, and Sculptor

Deep near-infrared (NIR) J- and K-band photometry of three Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies—Fornax, Carina, and Sculptor—is made available for the community. Until now, these data have only been used by the Araucaria Project to determine distances using the tip of the red giant branch and RR Lyrae stars. Now, we present the entire data collection in the form of a database, consisting of accurate J- and K-band magnitudes, sky coordinates, ellipticity measurements, and timestamps of observations, complemented by stars’ loci in their reference images. The depth of our photometry reaches about 22 mag at the 5σ level, and is comparable to NIR surveys, such as the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) or the VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS). Small overlap with VHS and no overlap with UKIDSS makes our database a unique source of quality photometry.
A NEW GENERATION OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AS A FUNGICIDAL DISINFECTANT IN RABBIT HOUSES

The experiments were performed on rabbits suffering from dermatophytosiscaused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes, also Microsporumcanis were found at percentages of 55.7% and 20% respectively.Moreover, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus candidus, Fusarium, Alternariaspp, Penicillium spp and Cladosporium spp, Curvularia spp Mucorspp. and Rhodotorula spp were isolated from fur of rabbits. Theisolates from rabbit's samples were isolated from the air and forsurface of rabbit houses at Gharbia Governorate from December2007 till February 2008. Surface disinfection and decontaminationprovide temporary amelioration against microbial colonization. Disinfectedsurfaces eventually become contaminated, thus, mitigating thebenefit of the initial disinfection. We describe here ionized hydrogenperoxide (IHP) disinfectant technology designed to provide longlastingsanitization and disinfection to air and treated surfaces asevaluated on hard surfaces after repeated environmental insults. Theresults of this study showed that IHP application at a rate of 1 mL/m3had high fungicidal activity in addition to being a fast actingdisinfectant. We found IHP to be effective as aerial fungicide (inactivatefungi within 5 minutes), while the spores deposition on surfaces wereinactivated after 5 daily uses.
Two new species of Dactylasioptera (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) inducing stem galls on Maireana (Chenopodiaceae)

Two new species of gall midges of the genus Dactylasioptera Kolesik & Veenstra‐Quah, (Lasiopteridi: Lasiopterini) are described from hairy stem tip galls on Maireana (Chenopodiaceae) in southern Australia. Dactylasioptera lebelae sp. nov. Veenstra & Kolesik, 2018 causes galls on Maireana pyramidata ranging from filamentous to spheroid. Dactylasioptera milnae sp. nov. Veenstra & Kolesik, 2018 causes rosette shaped, leafy galls on Maireana brevifolia. Descriptions of larvae, pupae, male and female adults, as well as geographical distributions of the new gall midges are given. The two species differ from each other in the larval, pupal and adult morphology as well as in mtDNA sequence data (COI). Galls of both species contained fungal mycelium and inquiline wasps Megastigmus sp. (Hymenoptera: Torymidae) and Aprostocetus sp. (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Tetrastichinae). The new species are the first confirmed gall makers from the Australian genus Dactylasioptera that contained previously two described species: Dactylasioptera adentata Kolesik & Veenstra‐Quah, and Dactylasioptera dentata Kolesik & Veenstra‐Quah, 2018, both of which are likely inquilines reared from galls induced by Asphondylia spp. (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) on chenopod host plants. A matrix of morphological characters of Dactylasioptera species is given.
Complexity of Logics with Bounded Modalities

For n ∈ N , we deﬁne the following modal operators: (cid:3) = n , (cid:3) ≤ n , (cid:3) ≥ n , (cid:3) ∗ , (cid:4) with intended meanings ‘at every point n steps away’, ‘at every point within n steps’, ‘at every point at least n steps away’, ‘at every point from now on’, and ‘at every point’, respectively. L ( (cid:3) = n , (cid:4) : n ∈ N ) is the modal language of modal propositional formulas built using (cid:4) and any (cid:3) = n , for n ∈ N , for example. Modal logics using these operators can be very concise, because the superscripts of the modal operators are binary encoded. We consider the complexity of the satisﬁability problems over arbitrary Kripke frames and over linear discrete frames. We consider a number of variants of PDL where binary encoded program iterators = n , ≤ n are allowed
Relationship between Entrepreneurial Intention Among Undergraduates Students and Entrepreneurship Education: Differences between Genders

Entrepreneurial intentions among undergraduates students need a more in-depth study to reveal entrepreneurial intention formation model, intention determinant variables, and how those variables interact each other in the intention formation process and intention strength level. Personal attitudes and social norms are the most important variable influencing entrepreneurial intentions, besides perceived behavioral control. These three variables are the most important entrepreneurial intentions determinant variable that each is directly influenced by personal beliefs. Prior research shows gender gaps in entrepreneurial activity and there is a significant different entrepreneurial intentions formation process between gender. Entrepreneurship educations are aimed to change all personal beliefs to be more positive to entrepreneurial activity so we could find strong entrepreneurial intentions among undergraduate students. The Empirical test shows that entrepreneurship education significantly influences personal attitude dan perceived behavior control to be more favorable in developing entrepreneurship education. Female students tend to value more on nonmonetary entrepreneurial benefits than a male student. Entrepreneurship education strengthens each gender’ tendency to value more what they initially believe.
Molecular performances of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) tolerance to Ganoderma sp.

Oil palm plantations in Asia, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia face the threat of basal stem root diseases caused by Ganoderma sp. Various methods and approaches have been made to select the oil palm tolerant to Ganoderma, among others with genes selection. The purpose of this research is to analyze the molecular performance of some oil palm that tolerant to Ganoderma based specific SSR markers. The plant material used in this trial is two cross-series of genetic material belonging to PT Socfindo, which has been known the level of resistance to Ganoderma, first is cross-series of 15-year-old oil palm in the field, and secondly is a new cross-series for early detection in the nursery stage. The results showed all target genes are presented in all samples. There are differences in predicted gene expression between tolerant and susceptible palm in the healthy mature plant leave tissue. The five molecular markers (EgMT, EgIFR, Rgen_Pto, Eg002, and Eg003) in healthy palm leaf tissue can be considered as potential molecular markers for oil palm Ganoderma tolerant screening.

We also report an evaluation of the GuideBelt prototype, which is based on a study to test the ease of use, accuracy and performance; along with knowledge gained from interviewing test subjects. The evaluation shows that the users found the device easy to use; and with good accuracy.
Gini and Entropy-Based Spread Indexes for Primary Energy Consumption Efficiency and CO2 Emission

Primary energy consumption is one of the key drivers of global CO2 emissions that, in turn, heavily depends on the efficiency of involved technologies. Either improvement in technology efficiency or the expansion of non-fossil fuel consumption requires large investments. The planning and financing of such investments by global policy makers or global energy firms require, in turn, reliable measures of associated global spread and their evolution in time, at least from the point of view of the principles for responsible investment (PRI). In this paper, our main contribution is the introduction of index measures for accessing global spread (that is, measures of inequality or inhomogeneity in the statistical distribution of a related quantity of interest) of technology efficiency and CO2 emission in primary energy consumption. These indexes are based on the Gini index, as used in economical sciences, and generalized entropy measures. Regarding primary energy sources, we consider petroleum, coal, natural gas, and non-fossil fuels. Between our findings, we attest some stable relations in the evolution of global spreads of technology efficiency and CO2 emission and a positive relation between changes in global spread of technology efficiency and use of non-fossil fuel.
AN ELEMENTARY APPROACH TO QUANTUM TIME DILATION

We present several arguments pointing towards a possible time dilation associated with the weak, strong, and electromagnetic potentials, similar to the well-known gravitational time dilation of General Relativity. This notion provides simple and direct links between GR and basic Quantum Mechanics. Although a fairly complete and detailed theory with these exact properties was published by Apsel three decades ago, it has been largely ignored and many objections to it have been made. We show that most of these objections are obviously wrong, and that the remainder are less certain than they might appear. Regardless of the truth or falsity of the theory, we show that it makes definite predictions and is readily and inexpensively testable, and propose that such tests be performed.
THE EFFECTS OF MANGO ON GUT MICROBIAL POPULATION AND ITS IMPACT ON BODY COMPOSITION AND GLUCOSE HOMEOSTASIS IN MICE FED HIGH FAT DIET By BABAJIDE OJO

The gut microbial population is significantly compromised in high fat feeding. These changes are associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Fermentation of nondigestible carbohydrates and fiber from plant food sources are suggested to prevent gut dysbiosis due to high fat feeding. Various parts of mango have been studied for their antiobesogenic, immunomodulatory and gastroprotective abilities. This study investigated the effects of 12-week freeze-dried mango pulp supplementation on the gut microbiota and its impact on body composition, glucose homeostasis and inflammatory markers in C57BL/6 mice fed a high fat (HF) diet. Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to 4 dietary treatment groups: Control (AIN-93M, 10% kcal from fat), HF (60% kcal from fat), and HF+1% or 10% mango. Cecal sample analyses by 16S rDNA sequencing show that HF feeding resulted in a significant loss of bacteria, most notably Bifidobacteria and Akkermansia while mango supplementation prevented the loss of these bacteria in a dose-dependent manner similar to control. Mango supplementation did not reduce body weight or fasting blood glucose. Plasma lipids were elevated with HF feeding compared to control, with both mango doses lowering plasma triglyceride. The HF+10% mango significantly lowered plasma non-esterified fatty acids but increased plasma total cholesterol. In comparison to the HF group, a dose-dependent increase in microbial fermentation was observed with mango supplementation, as evident in increased fecal and cecal acetic and butyric acid but not propionic acid. Furthermore, mango supplementation modulated gut inflammation, as observed with an increase in ileal and colonic IL-10 gene expression compared to the HF group. These results demonstrate that mango supplementation in high fat feeding modulated some of the adverse effects that accompanies high fat diet-induced obesity.

Large‐scale deforestation of mountainous areas during the 21st Century in Zhejiang Province

Deforestation affects environmental systems worldwide by increasing disaster risk and carbon emissions and also by reducing soil fertility rejuvenation and biodiversity. Here, we inspected the patterns and processes of deforestation in Zhejiang Province of China since 2000 under a background of national forest restoration. By integrating the Hansen high‐resolution forest cover change products and a field study, the relationship between forest loss dynamics and topography and also the proximity to settlement and rivers, were evaluated. The results show that the total forest loss in Zhejiang Province was 266,984 ha in 2001–2018. Forest loss magnitude reached a maximum in 2008 and has maintained a high level of annual loss about 17,000 ha since. While forest loss patches are mainly located on the mountaintops, the slope and altitude of the deforested patches reached maximal values in 2008, and both of them decreased since then even though the amount of forest loss remains high. The most significant forest loss was recorded at the south of Zhejiang Province around Lishui City and the least forest loss was in the area of Jiaxing city near Hangzhou, the capital city of Zhejiang Province. The area of deforestation decreases while the distance to settlements increases. We analyze the spatiotemporal characteristics and potential factors that affect deforestation in Zhejiang Province and highlight the role of market and policy, which transformed land use. This study further enriches the forest transition theory and provides a basis for the future decision making on clearing forest for compensating farmland loss.
Measuring the Value of Japanese Public Broadcasting in the Age of Convergence of Broadcasting and Telecommunications

In accordance with the convergence of broadcasting and telecommunications, media are becoming increasingly diversified and public broadcasting all over the world face new challenges. In cope with this, BBC in UK and RTE in Ireland, for instance, analyze their values as a public broadcasting and whether current fees are appropriate from the viewers’ perspective in order to determine future strategies as a public broadcasting. This paper analyzes the value of Japanese public broadcasting NHK (Nippon Hoso Kyokai) by conducting questionnaire surveys in April 2006, which interviewed among 3,600 men and women aged 16 and over throughout Japan, selected by stratified two-stage random sampling, and 2,018 valid replies were obtained. Questionnaires were based on the three-stage double bound model. According to our estimation, respondents were willing to pay 1,780 yen (approximately US$ 15.50) monthly per viewer for terrestrial services (NHK General, NHK Educational, NHK Radio 1, NHK Radio 2, NHK FM) and 1,245 yen (about US$ 10.83) monthly per viewer for satellite services (NHK BS-1, NHK BS-2, NHK Hi-vision). These amounts are higher than current viewing fees (1,395 yen monthly for a color TV contract, plus an additional 945 yen monthly for color satellite broadcasts). We also analyze factors such as viewers’ characteristics and roles of public broadcasting which affect WTP by making use of the Logit methods. We confirmed that “delivering better quality of programs” and “avoiding receiving fee evasion,” are identified as particularly important for higher WTP. These factors would be helpful for establishing future management strategies to increase the public value of NHK.
University of Dundee Bank productivity growth and convergence in the European Union during the financial crisis Degl’Innocenti,

This paper examines the bank productivity growth and integration process for the 28 EU countries during three main phases of the financial crisis: the U.S. subprime crisis (2007-2008), the global financial crisis (2009-2010) and the sovereign debt crisis (2010-2012). We extend the Malmquist Productivity Index by applying an additive two-stage DEA model. This allows us to explore the sources of growth in different stages of production. Furthermore, we assess the integration of European banks by analyzing the β-convergence and σ-convergence of the twostage Productivity Index. Our results show a productivity growth during the U.S. subprime crisis, but a consistent decline during the global financial crisis. The loss of competitiveness of the European banking system is due to the drop of the performance stage and technical change. Finally, we find a strong convergence pattern during the financial crisis, mainly driven by the catch up process of some Eastern countries and the drop in performance of Western countries.
Collaborative innovation in healthcare: a case study of hospitals as innovation platforms

Rising healthcare costs and vast business opportunities in health markets have resulted in a great demand to enhance innovation creation. However, innovation development in healthcare is challenging because of the fragmented and complicated context. Potential means to tackle the challenges include utilising the concepts of open innovation and co-creation, which require organisations to develop new roles and relationships with multiple stakeholders. This paper analyses a 12-month co-creation project where a new collaboration model for healthcare innovations was developed by a hospital, research partners, and companies. We demonstrate how organisations experiment with collaborative innovation in the healthcare context, and what was learned from this experimentation. The study utilises an action research approach and a case study strategy. The co-creation model applied can produce innovations that meet the end-users' needs, but successful implementation requires careful planning, creating separate development paths for idea-type and more mature solutions, and the commitment of project participants.
The impact of parasocial interaction toward prospective students' intention to enrol in a university and share information through electronic word-of-mouth

Nowadays, fierce competition among universities in acquiring prospective students is driving universities to make changes in their marketing activities. Inspired by the concept of parasocial interaction, the authors researched whether parasocial interaction could be used by universities to build a closer relationship with prospective students. Three different constructs of parasocial interaction were researched, to gauge their effect on a prospective student's intention to enrol in a university and share information by electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM): 1) perceived interactivity; 2) openness; 3) knowledge. Data collection was done by surveying 311, 12th grade students in Indonesia, and processed using partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS SEM). The results showed that parasocial interaction has a positive and significant impact on prospective students' intention to enrol in universities and encourage information sharing through eWOM.
Structural characterization of membrane proteins by solid-state NMR spectroscopy

In this work, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was employed to characterize the three-dimensional atomic structure of proteins and other biomolecules in the solid phase. A method for obtaining sequential resonance assignments from (13C,13C) correlation spectroscopy on a uniformly labeled protein under magic angle spinning was developed. This facilitated a largely complete resonance assignment of a nano-crystalline form of the 76 residue protein ubiquitin. Comparison to results from other sample preparations indicates that chemical shifts variations are most likely to occur in protein regions that exhibit an enhanced degree of molecular mobility. The use of measuring proton-proton distances via rare-spin encoding was described on L-tyrosine-ethylester (TEE), and on ubiquitin. On the example of TEE, it was shown that internuclear distance measurements can informatively be complemented by techniques that probe molecular motion. On ubiquitin, the calculation of a structural model from rare-spin encoded proton-proton distances was assessed using a homology model. Finally, Ca(2+)-ATPase-bound Phospholamban (PLN) was investigated in a functional, non-crystalline lipid environment. Chemical shifts in all domains of AFA-PLN in the complex were assigned. The results were combined with other biophysical and biochemical data to calculate a three-dimensional model of the complex, which provides a structural basis for understanding the molecular interactions. These experimental studies were complemented by a statistical analysis of chemical shift predictions for proteins in the solid state with semi-empirical algorithms that are trained on solution-state NMR and X-ray diffraction data. The findings validate for the first time the applicability of such computer programs for solid-state NMR data, and highlight possible areas of improvement.
