A 16-week intervention on mood and life quality in elderly: testing two exercise programs

The purpose was to examine the effects of strength training program (STP) and multi-component training program (MTP) on mood states in physically active elderly. Thirty Brazilian elderly (female=21; male=9) aged between 65 and 75 years (66.94.1) with Body Mass Index (BMI) ranging from 25.6 to 31.0 kg/m (28.31.2), were enrolled for research. The elderly were randomly assigned into two groups: Strength Training Program (STP; age=66.74.4 years, BMI=28.21.3 kg/m) and Multi-Component Program (MTP; age=67.13.9 years, BMI=28.51.0 kg/m). STP group performed three 1-hour sessions per week, working at a range of 3 sets, 8-10 repetitions, and 2-minute recovery between sets and exercises. MTP group performed two different types of exercise sessions: a) 50 minutes of Zumba©, followed by 5-10 minutes of dynamic stretching exercises; b) 40 minutes of body-weight dynamic and static exercises, as well as agility and balance movements. The Profile of Mood States (POMS) was applied to assess mood at baseline and post-intervention. No significant interaction or main effect for group and time was showed for six factors of the POMS. However, the magnitude-based inference showed that MTP is likely beneficial to reduce fatigue. On the other hand, MTP is possibly harmful to increase confusion and to reduce vigor when Cita: Oliveira, B.R.

Optical Properties of Dilute Bismuth Semiconductor Alloys

Received/Geliş: 31.07. 2020 Accepted/Kabul: 04.09. 2020 Abstract: The research on dilute bismuth containing III-V semiconductor alloys and its applications are studied. These alloys are obtained by incorporating a small amount of Bi in the host semiconductor. The presence of Bi reduced the energy bandgap of the alloys. The bandgap and optical properties of InAs1− Bi , InP1-xBix, and InSb1− Bi alloy systems are investigated for optoelectronic devices. The optical properties of semiconductors are important to change the properties of device performance. The refractive index strongly depends on the direct bandgap of the semiconductor alloys. The bandgap of the In-V-Bi semiconductor layer can be engineered by means of adding bismuth into InAs, InP, InSb. In this work, the refractive indices and the optical parameters of the In-V-Bi alloys are investigated.
Repeated ultrasound guided local infiltration of methotrexate in persistent gestational trophoblastic disease with myometrial invasion: case series and review of literature

Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a group of uncommon conditions associated with pregnancy. Histologically, it includes the premalignant partial mole (PHM) and complete hydatidiform mole (CHM), as well as the malignant invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) and placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT). The malignant forms can arise after any type of pregnancy and are collectively known as The GTD spectrum or gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). The placental hormone b-hCG is an ideal hormone for prognosis and follow up of GTD. A plateaued or rising hCG level enables the early detection of progression of CHM and PHM to GTN that occurs in 15%-20%, and 0.5%-5% of cases, respectively. Approximately 10-17% of hydatidiform moles could result in invasive mole and about 15% of these will metastasize to the vagina or lungs. Invasive mole is most often diagnosed clinically rather than pathologically based on persistent hCG elevation after molar evacuation or by USG showing myometrial invasion or lesion and is frequently treated with chemotherapy without a histopathologic diagnosis.
UNCONVENTIONAL PERMEABLE MICROSTRUCTURES

Designing energy-efficient facades can have a significant impact on reducing the building's energy consumption while providing comfort for the occupants. While highly-insulated buildings have good thermal insulation and high airtightness, they deal with the risk of overheating issues. Dynamic insulation, a technology consisting of porous materials, is a responsive building element that has been introduced to the built environment to tackle these problems. Due to the current lack of information and available resources on dynamic insulation, and its possible contribution to the built environment, the presented research focuses on the effect of complex geometries as the air channels in dynamic insulation, and as part of the overall building wall. This thesis aims to discover whether and how a designed microstructure (now possible by Additive Manufacturing) in dynamic insulation can offer a solution for controlling the airflow passing through the wall and therefore, improving the performance of the dynamic insulation. The methodology of the thesis started with the literature review and studying different articles and books. Then in a design-through-research approach, various parameters were identified that could affect the airflow rate and pattern. These parameters were categorized in two groups with relation to geometry and texture. The dominant factors were then selected to be further analyzed. Next, different geometries were generated using the 3D sampling method, based on different textures with different properties. The engineered geometries are texture-based metamaterials with cavities. To investigate the behavior of airflow in these geometries, CFD simulations were performed in Ansys Fluent. The results were evaluated based on their correspondence to the research objectives and conclusions were drawn to answer the research questions.

Action of pendulum in transient fluid flow

The work is dedicated to the authors’ latest research on the interaction of moving inflexible objects when subjected to non-constant velocity fluid flow (air, water) without the use of work-intensive space-time programming methods. In the first part of the study, the differential equation of the plane pendulum motion is derived using the novel approach of fluid-rigid body interaction phenomenon, in this equation, the moment caused by the fluid interaction is simplified by ignoring the flow viscosity. This makes it possible to obtain the usual second-order differential equation of pendulum motion, which contains components of relative velocity in a simplified way, instead of the partial differential equations in a continuous mathematical space. The application of the obtained equation is further used in solving specific tasks of engineering importance. The first task analyzes the pendulum swing motion in a still airflow. Here, the equation described above is numerically integrated and the results are compared with an experiment in a natural environment. The comparison resulted in a drag interaction factor that was further used in other more complex cases. The second task analyzes the pendulum motion when fluid flow velocities are a decreasing function of time in a harmonic behavior. In addition, in this case, the possibilities of applying the developed theory to other forms of flow rate change, such as pulse or poly harmonic forms, are considered. In the third task, the synthesis of motion control in a mechatronic system was performed. In this case, the possibility of regulating the additional resistance torque arising from the rotary damping generator is considered. The work is illustrated with graphical results. The outcomes obtained in the work can be used in the analysis of the interaction of existing moving objects with the fluid flow, as well as in the synthesis of new technological processes, for example, for obtaining energy from vibrating objects immersed in fluid flow.

Electromagnetically induced transparency for Λ-like system consisting of two lower bound states and a flat continuum coupled to two autoionization states, it is so-calledthe double Fano continuum, embedded in it is studied in which the coupling laser is modeled by white noise. For such a system containing discrete autoionization levels we obtain a set of coupled stochastic integro-differential equations which can be averaged exactly. This leads to the exact expression determining the stationary solution for the electric susceptibility. The spectra of dispersion and absorption components for electromagnetically induced transparency are found and compared with those derived previously by us and other authors.

Comparative Study of Structural Reliability Assessment Methods for Fixed Offshore Structures

The oil and gas sector has recognised structural integrity assessment of ageing platform for prospective life extension as a rising concern, particularly in encountering the randomness of the harsh ocean environments. This condition leads to uncertainty in wave-in-deck load estimates and a high load level being imposed on offshore structures. This emphasises the necessity of enhanced reliability, as failure might result in inaccessibility because of the uncertainties related to long-distance services, such as accuracy of predictions of loads and responses. Even though the established guidelines present a fundamental assessment, additionally, comprehensive rules are required. This paper performed a reliability analysis incorporating practical approaches that can more accurately represent time-dependent structural deterioration. The following two procedures have been adopted by a majority of significant oil and gas operators to monitor the safety and integrity of these structures: a) Ultimate Strength Assessment (USA) method and b) Reliability Design Assessment (ReDA) method. A comparison of these two reliability approaches was performed on selected ageing jacket structures in the region of the Malaysian sea. The comparative findings, namely, reserve strength ratio (RSR) at various years of the return period (RP) and ratio value for risk of failure regarding the probability of failure (POF), provided a check and balance in strengthening confidence in the results. The findings showed that the structural components might safely survive either using the USA and ReDA method in such conditions, as the reliability indexes were determined to be satisfactory compared to allowable values from ISO 19902 design specifications. Therefore, these evaluations were determined to control the risk level of the structure during the remaining of its lifetime and undertake cost-effective inspections or mitigation strategies when necessary.
DEMOCRATIC EDUCATION IN “MERDEKA

Educational Democracy is a view of life that prioritizes equal rights and obligations as well as equal treatment between educators and students in the learning process. Democracy in education contains elements of independence, freedom and responsibility. An independent attitude to develop self-confidence and to be aware of one’s limitations is very important to foster awareness that life in the community requires collaboration with other individuals. Freedom is defined as a life purpose that rests on the awareness of social pluralism, not solely on the interests of individuals or groups. Therefore freedom itself must be accompanied by a sense of full responsibility. The word ”Educational Democracy” is two terms which are interrelated, democratic values can be understood and owned by the community through educational activities, and vice versa so that education can produce output that has an independent attitude, has a critical thinking power, dynamic, democratic character and always upholds human dignity, then the implementation of education must be based on democracy so that the concept of independence in learning will grow well.
A Mathematical Study of Effect of Humidity on Human Skin Temperature at Warm Environment

The ability of the human body to regulate its heat exchange depends on various environmental factors together with its ability to exchange heat in in-vivo tissue. The environmental factor humidity plays a crucial role in heat regulation within the human body. The heat regulation within in-vivo tissue constitutes temperature regulation in the layers of the dermal part to maintain body core temperature constant. The purpose of this article is to develop a mathematical model to study the effect of humidity on temperature regulation within the human body. The model has been developed for one dimensional steady state flow of heat in human dermal parts with appropriate boundary conditions containing the factors of effect of humidity. Matlab program has been used to simulate the model and obtain numerical results with graphs.

FATTY ACID PROFILE IN BRAIN AND HEPATIC TISSUES FROM PIGS SUPPLEMENTED WITH CANOLA OIL Perfil de ácidos graxos nos tecidos cerebral e hepático de suínos suplementados com óleo de canola

Canola oil is an important source of oleic acid, in addition to being an accessible source for its use in the production of pigs’ diets. Oleic acid in turn is a type of unsaturated fatty acid that in pork is beneficial for human health. Therefore, this study was conducted to describe the fatty acid profile in brain and liver tissues from pigs supplemented with canola oil for 98 days, during the growth and finishing phases. For the analysis was used eighteen male pigs that had free access to feed and water throughout the experimental period. Dietary treatment consisted of corn-soybean meal growingfinishing diets supplemented with 3% fat from canola oil (CO). To obtain the fatty acid profile, the lipids from each tissue were cold extracted using the adapted method from Bligh and Dyer, methylated, and posteriorly injected in a gas chromatograph to obtain the fatty acid profile of the tissue. In both tissues there was a greater abundance of saturated fatty acids (stearic acid). The most abundant monounsaturated fatty acid was the oleic acid. Regarding polyunsaturated fatty acids, in the liver the most abundant was linoleic acid and in the brain docosahexaenoic acid. In summary, animals' diet influences the fatty acid profile in different tissues. Such modifications can increase unsaturated fatty acids concentration in relation to saturated, making pork healthier for human consumption.
Using Deep Learning algorithms to detect the success or failure of the Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) sessions

Major Depression Disorder (MDD) is a big problem in our society. MDD can cause suicide and take families apart. When treatment with medications fail, mental healthcare professionals, use Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) to treat patients with MDD. During an ECT session, electroencephalogram (EEG) signals let the mental healthcare professionals record patients' brain activities which are helpful to decide whether the treatment was successful. However, there is no standard way to know how and with what intensity a healthcare professional needs to apply electroshock to treat patients with MDD. So far, to our knowledge, researchers have used multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques combined with statistical methods and/or linear machine learning algorithms to predict patients’ responses to ECT. However, the aforementioned methods are very expensive and time-consuming. In this study, we will be using Deep learning algorithms to detect the effectiveness of ECT sessions based on the EEG.
Consumers’ Perception of CSR Activities: What Does it Mean for Companies?

Research Question: The paper develops a conceptual model for exploring the factors which impact the consumers' word of mouth (WOM) and willingness to pay (WTP) for products and services of socially responsible companies. Motivation: The paper is based on the research of Castaldo et al. (2009), Pivato et al. (2007), Rim and Kim (2016), and Jarvis et al. (2017) concerning the consumers’ perception of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and measurement of the effectiveness of CSR activities. Accordingly, our paper tries to provide companies with valuable information on how the consumers’ perception of CSR activities impacts the consumers’ trust, awareness, purchase intention, and future behaviour. Idea: The proposed model is based on three pillars: Perception of CSR, Moderating effects, and Willingness to pay and recommend and strives to shed light on their mutual relations. The goal is to better understand the complex mechanisms and consequences of the consumers’ perception of CSR activities of companies. Data: To verify the proposed conceptual model, a questionnaire was developed and distributed. In total, 265 respondents participated in the research. Tools: Structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis was employed to explore the relationships between defined factors. Findings: The findings illustrate that both attitudes towards CSR and CSR companies have an impact on the level of trust and purchase intention. When it comes to WTP and WOM, only the level of trust and purchase intention have an impact. Interestingly, the respondents' awareness of the companies’ CSR activities did not have an impact on WTP and WOM. The model indicates that the companies should communicate their CSR activities which will lead to greater trust and purchase intention leading to higher consumers' willingness to pay and recommend the companies’ products/services. Contribution: The study empirically explores how the perception of CSR and CSR activities potentially influences the WOM and WTP on products and services of socially responsible companies and provides a roadmap on how companies can increase the benefits of their CSR activities.

Psychological Challenges of Transition to Parenthood in First-time Parents

Objective: The birth of the first child and the couple’s transition to parenthood can significantly change individuals’ marital life. Accordingly, this study aimed to identify psychological challenges to transition to parenthood in first-time parents. Methods: The study employed a qualitative approach based on the content analysis method. The research population included all first-time parents who were referred to the Amjadieh Khaghani Community Counseling Center in District 7 of Tehran City, Iran, from May to August 2020. Besides, the studied couples had a child aged <4 years old. The study participants were 17 couples (n=34 subjects) who were selected using the purposive sampling technique and based on the theoretical saturation criterion. The required data were collected by conducting semi-structured interviews with the research participants. The interviews were recorded, then transcribed verbatim. eventually, after the extraction, the obtained data were coded and categorized using a content analysis method in MAXQDA. Results: Analyzing the obtained data revealed that the transition to parenthood can typically be considered either a positive or negative experience. The most serious challenges faced by couples in the transition to parenthood included ambiguity and changes in the spousal role; duality and conflict in the motherhood role; feeling restricted and prevented from pursuing personal goals; psychological and emotional support from the family and husband; parenting disagreements; changes in sexual relations; fear of the failure to financially support the child; dissatisfaction with the appearance and weight change, and differences in parenting practices. The core theme was the transition to parenthood; from couples to parents. Conclusion: Transition to parenthood seems to be a vital change in the lives of couples; thus, some measures are required to prepare couples for such a transition. The insights from this study can help family counselors, midwives, and family nurses to develop and hold training and preparation programs for couples; such services should be provided to the couples before experiencing parenthood. This could prepare parents for the challenges of their new life.
