Software Defect Prediction Utilizing Deterministic and Probabilistic Approach for Optimizing Performance through Defect Association Learning

While developing software it is very important that the software should be of defect free. But, none of the software can be 100% defect free and various studies are in progress to build a model which minimizes the defect as much as possible by predicting it at an early stage of development. Based on the probability facts various researchers has used probabilistic model to predict defects in the program. To contribute in this research and enhancing the existing model of software defect prediction we are proposing a model based on the combination of probabilistic and deterministic model through defect association learning. The experimental evaluation in comparison with the existing methods shows the improvement in the accuracy of predicting the defect by using Deterministic and Probabilistic defect prediction.
Improving Teaching and Learning Experience in Engineering Education Using Sentiment Analysis Techniques

Students are the golden commodity when it comes to ringing in revenue for academic institution. Therefore, it is vital to ensure the opinions and feedback of students is taken seriously to ensure continuous improvement in the teaching and learning experience. In an era of digital information and rich opinionated text being easily available, it is crucial to look into different forms of data analysis from which vital information can be extracted. Sentiment and emotion analysis are one such area of research that looks to extract implicit information from written text and analyse data that would be able to provide a deeper insight compared to conventional measures. This paper is an extension of a previously conducted study of analysing emotion as well as sentiment of students’ feedback taking Thermal Engineering (MEC551) from Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM). Supervised learning technique was adopted and data analysed revealed students were biased towards assignment and quizzes as these would help improve their carry forwards for the subject and the preference of chapters to the exam was more for conduction and convection compared to others which had more mathematical related calculation.
In vitro and in vivo Evaluation of Antibiotic Combination against Imipenem Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Strains Isolated from Bangladeshi Patients

Acinetobacter baumannii is becoming a common etiological agent of nosocomial infections resulting in septicemia, meningitis, endocarditis, pneumonia, wound, and urinary tract infections within the healthcare setting. There are currently no defined optimal therapies available for multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii infections. We evaluated the efficacy of imipenem, ceftazidime, amikacin and their combinations against imipenem resistant A. baumannii in experimental rat models. We also detected MBL encoding genes such as blaNDM-1, blaVIM and blaIMP and ESBL encoding genes such as blaCTX-M-15 and blaOXA-1 genes by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). MBL encoding genes such as blaNDM-1 (83.33%), blaVIM (66.67%) and blaIMP (41.67%) and ESBL encoding genes such as blaCTX-M-15 (16.67%) and blaOXA-1 (12.50%) were detected among imipenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii by PCR. In vitro activities of imipenem, ceftazidime, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, tigecycline and their combinations were tested using agar dilution method. The proportions of synergy observed in imipenem-ceftazidime, imipenem-amikacin, imipenem-ciprofloxacin and amikacin-tigecycline combinations were 25%, 54.17%, 12.50% and 41.67% respectively in vitro. Rat septicaemic models were evaluated using the imipenem resistant A. baumannii strain. Rats were treated with three antimicrobials and their combinations. For the rat model, the efficacies of imipenem, amikacin and imipenem plus ceftazidime and imipenem plus amikacin were assayed. In the septicaemic rat model, compared to the control group, (i) imipenem alone, (ii) ceftazidime alone (iii) imipenem plus ceftazidime (iv) imipenem plus amikacin showed increased sterile blood culture (50%, 16.67%, 66.67% and 83.33%). Imipenem plus amikacin or amikacin plus tigecycline may be appropriate for the treatment against imipenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections.
Digital Technology in the Design of Nonlinear (Parametric) Objects Environmental Space

Time "parametrism" today most people know like a designers world. But still debate regarding the integrity of and independence parametric directions and opportunities the allocation of his in a separate style. There are many errors value and the essence of the term "parametric". However, this style the direction of the parametric, based on the use of new architectural elements transformers space and gives objects movement finds all more fans. So it is especially relevant in today there are search and application relevant digital technology for the realization of all theoretical design features in the real creation objects environmental space. The modern idea of the world based on paradigm nonlinearity, in which develops the idea of the universe as many systems who live at laws of self-organization. Development of ideas nonlinearity considered as a result create the new methodology nonlinear design, lesser extent guided historically formed rules of shaping or subjective artistic experience designer. Therefore, the basis of new methods put principles of artificial morphogenesis, synergistic paradigms of simulation biotic and inanimate nature which open unprecedented prospects in the field forming and offer new techniques and ways of describing and organizations architectural objects. So the notion of "nonlinear architecture" brings together a number of areas that develop in parallel: parametric, the on-tech, electronic Baroque, BLOB-design, landfermann and others. Arose these areas as a result the evolution of ideas previous styles: bionics structuralism, organic design [1].
Characterization of LiMAPK gene in response to salinity stress in Tiger lily (Lilium lancifolium Thunb.)

Abstract In this study, we measured the physiological response such as relative growth rate (RGR), relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll index, net photosynthetic rate and relative electrical conductivity of Tiger lily leaves periodically, under different concentrations of salt. We isolated LiMAPK mRNA (including the 5′ UTR and 3′ UTR) (GenBank accession number JQ437268) under treatment at salt threshold concentrations by rapid amplification of cDNA ends polymerase chain reaction (RACE–PCR). The relative expression levels of LiMAPK under salt stress were analyzed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The results showed that the salt threshold concentration of Tiger Lily was 1.09 mg/mL, and the LiMAPK gene covered 1291 bp, coded 306 amino acids and the conservative domain was 627 bp long. There was a highly conserved domain (TRWYRAPE) present in the amino acid sequence of MAPK. Comparative analysis using NCBI BLASTp showed that this conservative domain was a catalytic domain in the MAPK super family. The LiMAPK expression levels in the leaves were significantly increased within 2 h after initiation of stress treatment with salt threshold concentrations and continued to rise in the next 2 h, reaching a maximum at 4 h and decreasing in the next 4 h. After 12 and 24 h of salt stress, the LiMAPK expression levels were basically stable, but still twice as high as those in the control. The results indicated that the LiMAPK gene was up-regulated by salt stress, which might be closely related to the salt-tolerance mechanism in Tiger lily.
Modelling Acetification with Artificial Neural Networks and Comparison with Alternative Procedures

Modelling techniques allow certain processes to be characterized and optimized without the need for experimentation. One of the crucial steps in vinegar production is the biotransformation of ethanol into acetic acid by acetic bacteria. This step has been extensively studied by using two predictive models: first-principles models and black-box models. The fact that first-principles models are less accurate than black-box models under extreme bacterial growth conditions suggests that the kinetic equations used by the former, and hence their goodness of fit, can be further improved. By contrast, black-box models predict acetic acid production accurately enough under virtually any operating conditions. In this work, we trained black-box models based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) of the multilayer perceptron (MLP) type and containing a single hidden layer to model acetification. The small number of data typically available for a bioprocess makes it rather difficult to identify the most suitable type of ANN architecture in terms of indices such as the mean square error (MSE). This places ANN methodology at a disadvantage against alternative techniques and, especially, polynomial modelling.
Islamic Values-based Sex Education to Prevent Loss Generation for Senior High School Students

Teenagers’ behavior problems such as free sex, abortion, pornography, and drug abuse have increased in developing countries. The purposes of this research were to formulate the views of experts, education practitioners, and teenagers about the importance of teaching sex education (SE) in schools and to formulate the prototype of sex education, material, media, and learning strategies. This research was a descriptive research. The data was obtained through interviews to reveal experts’ views. The sources of data in this research were teachers, principals, psychologists, scholars, reproductive experts, and sociologists. The data were analyzed using content analysis. A questionnaire was used to find out the students' opinions. The population of this study was the senior high school students in Surabaya, Indonesia. The samples taken were 171 students. The data taken from the questionnaire were analyzed descriptively. The percentage was obtained from the number of respondents who chose ”Agree” and then divided by the number of ”Disagree” of each statement. The results of this research reveal that sex education is expected to provide an understanding of sexuality, the formation of responsible self-attitudes, society, and religion in overcoming sexual turmoil, as well as the skills to avoid promiscuity. Sex education should be given within an ethical and religious framework. Sex education materials include social ethics, the effects of promiscuity, abortion and its effects, and marriage. The media used were films, multimedia, and other media within the framework of Islamic ethics. This research concludes that sex education is important to students, especially high school students.
Remote Sensing Applications for Monitoring Terrestrial Protected Areas: Progress in the Last Decade

Terrestrial protected areas (PAs) play an essential role in maintaining biodiversity and ecological processes worldwide, and the monitoring of PAs is a useful tool in assessing the effectiveness of PA management. Advanced remote sensing technologies have been increasingly used for mapping and monitoring the dynamics of PAs. We review the advances in remote sensing-based approaches for monitoring terrestrial PAs in the last decade and identify four types of studies in this field: land use & land cover and vegetation community classification, vegetation structure quantification, natural disturbance monitoring, and land use & land cover and vegetation dynamic analysis. We systematically discuss the satellite data and methods used for monitoring PAs for the four research objectives. Moreover, we summarize the approaches used in the different types of studies. The following suggestions are provided for future studies: (1) development of remote sensing frameworks for local PA monitoring worldwide; (2) comprehensive utilization of multisource remote sensing data; (3) improving methods to investigate the details of PA dynamics; (4) discovering the driving forces and providing measures for PA management. Overall, the integration of remote sensing data and advanced processing methods can support PA management and decision-making procedures.
Cell growth dilutes the cell cycle inhibitor Rb to trigger cell division

A cell size sensor Efforts continue to uncover the long-sought mechanism by which cells coordinate growth and cell division to maintain a constant size. Zatulovskiy et al. propose that human cells sense the concentration of the retinoblastoma family protein Rb. Rb itself acts on transcription factors to inhibit progression through the cell cycle. As cells grow, the concentration of Rb decreases by dilution, and the cell can then divide. In mice heterozygous or homozygous for an Rb gene deletion, the size of liver hepatocytes decreased—and variability in cell size increased—as each Rb allele was lost. Science, this issue p. 466 Cell growth during the G1 phase of the cell division cycle dilutes the cell cycle inhibitor Rb to trigger division in human cells. Cell size is fundamental to cell physiology. For example, cell size determines the spatial scale of organelles and intracellular transport and thereby affects biosynthesis. Although some genes that affect mammalian cell size have been identified, the molecular mechanisms through which cell growth drives cell division have remained elusive. We show that cell growth during the G1 phase of the cell division cycle dilutes the cell cycle inhibitor Retinoblastoma protein (Rb) to trigger division in human cells. RB overexpression increased cell size and G1 duration, whereas RB deletion decreased cell size and removed the inverse correlation between cell size at birth and the duration of the G1 phase. Thus, Rb dilution through cell growth in G1 provides one of the long-sought molecular mechanisms that promotes cell size homeostasis.
Population dynamics of Cymodocea nodosa under future ocean scenarios

Rising carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere will increase the average pCO2 level in the world oceans, which will have a knock-on effect on the marine ecosystem. Coastal seagrass communities are predicted to benefit from the increase in CO2 levels, but long-term effects of elevated CO2 on seagrass communities are less understood. Population reconstruction techniques were used to investigate the population dynamics of Cymodocea nodosa meadows, exposed to long term elevated CO2 at volcanic seeps off Greece and Italy. Effect of elevated CO2 was noticed on the growth, morphometry, density, biomass and age structure at CO2 seeps than reference sites. Above to below ground biomass ratio of C. nodosa were higher at CO2 seeps. The shoot age and shoot longevity of plants were lower at seeps. The present recruitment (sampled year) of the seagrass were higher than long-term average recruitment of the communities near the seeps. Carbon to nitrogen ratios (%DW) and annual leaf production of C. nodosa were higher in leaves at seeps. This study suggests under long-term CO2 enrichment C. nodosa production increases, but the plant survival rate decreases because of other co-factors such as nutrient availability and trace metal toxicity. Therefore, along with high CO2 other factors must be taken into consideration while predicting effects of future CO2 concentrations.
Two Cu(II) co-ordination polymers: anti-cancer activity on melanoma by reducing cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion ability

Abstract By using a mixed-ligand approach, two new Cu(II)-containing co-ordination polymers (CPs) with the chemical formula of [Cu4(HDNA)4(4,4′-bpy)(OH)2]·4H2O·2CH3CN (1, H2DNA = 4,4′-dicarboxy-4″-nitrotriphenyl-amine, 4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine) and [Cu3(TCA)2(DPE)]·10DMF·6H2O (2, H3TCA = 4,4′,4″-nitrilotribenzoic acid, dpe = (E)-1,2-di(pyridin-4-yl)diazene) have been successfully prepared by reaction of Cu(NO3)2·3H2O with the corresponding organic ligands under the solvothermal conditions. The cancer cell viability and proliferation were determined with Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and the colony formation assay. The migration and invasion capability of A375 melanoma cells under Cu(II)-based co-ordination polymers treatment was evaluated with trans-well assay.
Optimization of polymer electrolytes with the effect of concentration of additives in PEO-NH4HF2 polymer electrolytes

In the present work, nanocomposite polymer electrolyte films were prepared by solution casting technique using nanosized fumed silica to polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based polymer electrolytes containing ammonium bifluoride (NH4HF2). The ionic conductivity of 1.19 × 10−5 S cm−1 has been observed at room temperature (25°C) for 3 wt% fumed silica in PEO-10 wt% NH4HF2 polymer electrolytes after which the conductivity was observed to decrease. Furthermore, the addition of high dielectric constant plasticizer propylene carbonate (PC) in the optimized composition of nanocomposite polymer electrolytes has increased the number of charge carriers by the large dissolution of ionic salt, amorphous content, and hence the ionic conductivity. Maximum ionic conductivity obtained at room temperature was found to be 1.55 × 10−4 S cm−1 in the case of PEO-10 wt% NH4HF2-3 wt% fumed silica-0.3 (ml) PC polymer electrolytes which is five orders of magnitude higher than that of the polymer host material. Temperature-dependent ionic conductivity, activation energy, and dielectric constant studies have been described for all the compositions of polymer electrolytes. Ionic conductivity and dielectric constant studies were determined from impedance data. Polymer electrolytes containing both fumed silica and PC highlight that there is no phase transition in the polymer electrolyte and temperature dependence of ionic conductivity in the temperature range is of almost Arrhenius type. The lowest activation energy value for the highest conducting polymer electrolyte was found to be 0.172 eV. Change in melting temperature, % crystallinity (χc), and mechanical properties have also been observed in polymer electrolytes containing fumed silica as well as PC as studied by Differential Scanning Calorimetry/Thermogravimetric Analysis (DSC/TGA) and universal testing machine, respectively.
The productivity effects of infrastructure: A cross-country comparison using manufacturing industry panels

ABSTRACT Studies on the productivity effects of infrastructure have produced ambiguous results because of potential inter-sectoral dependencies, non-stationarity and endogeneity issues in estimation. Employing estimators that address these problems, we test the effects of a composite infrastructure index on a panel of industries for four major-Asian economies. Our results indicate positive and sizable long-run effects of infrastructure on productivity for India and China, but not for Japan and S. Korea.
Effectiveness of Flaps Controlling Inflammation for Severe Pressure Sores in Older Patients with Multiple Comorbidities

Background: Older patients with pressure sores secondary to medical problems generally are not likely to become physically active again and are therefore rarely considered candidates for flap surgery. When surgeons decide whether to perform surgery in older individuals with multiple morbidities, they must weigh the risks of prolonged general anesthesia and the burdens of flap surgery against the benefits of the flap. Methods: This retrospective study included patients over 65 years of age who were treated at our clinic from May 2010 to August 2018 for grade III or IV pressure sores. They underwent either general wound care without flap coverage (debridement only) or complete flap coverage of the sore (debridement plus flap group). We compared changes in laboratory blood tests from pre-operation to post-operation. Results: A total of 63 patients were included, with 53 in the flap coverage group and 10 in the control group. Age, sex, and flap size were statistically similar between groups (P>0.05). The control group exhibited no significant laboratory changes after debridement. The flap coverage group exhibited statistically significant improvements in neutrophil percentage and C-reactive protein level postoperatively (P<0.05, paired t-test). Serum hemoglobin, albumin and electrolyte levels did not differ with statistical significance from pre-operation to post-operation in either group (P>0.05, Wilcoxon signed-rank test and paired t-test). Conclusion: As pressure sore coverage with flaps may have a positive effect on controlling inflammation, flap surgery could be a viable option for older patients with severe pressure sores.
Electroacupuncture with Usual Care for Patients with Non-Acute Pain after Back Surgery: Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Alongside a Randomized Controlled Trial

Electroacupuncture (EA) is used to treat pain after back surgery. Although this treatment is covered by national health insurance in Korea, evidence supporting its cost-effectiveness and contribution to the sustainability of the national health care system has yet to be published. Therefore, an economic evaluation, alongside a clinical trial, was conducted to estimate the cost-effectiveness of EA and usual care (UC) versus UC alone to treat non-acute low back pain (LBP). In total, 108 patients were recruited and randomly assigned to treatment groups; 106 were included in the final cost utility analysis. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of EA plus UC was estimated as 7,048,602 Korean Rate Won (KRW) per quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) from the societal perspective (SP). If the national threshold was KRW 30 million per QALY, the cost-effectiveness probability of EA plus UC was an estimated 85.9%; and, if the national threshold was over KRW 42,496,372 per QALY, the cost-effectiveness probability would be over 95% percent statistical significance. Based on these results, EA plus UC combination therapy for patients with non-acute LBP may be cost-effective from a societal perspective in Korea.
Analisis Framing Pemberitaan Kasus Kekerasan pada Orientasi Pengenalan Kampus

Melalui laporan kasus kekerasan yang dilakukan oleh media massa dapat memengaruhi persepsi publik, memunculkan sikap tertentu, dan dapat memengaruhi keputusan dari pembuat kebijakan, khususnya kasus kekerasan pada OSPEK. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana kasus OSPEK dibingkai dalam berita. Analisis framing dilakukan terhadap delapan artikel yang muncul dalam dua portal berita, yaitu Liputan6.com dan detiknews selama periode 30 Agustus hingga 6 September 2019. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode analisis framing Robert M. Entman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa portal berita Liputan6.com dan detiknews memiliki persamaan dan perbedaan dalam membingkai sebuah kasus. Persamaan pembingkaian berita dapat terlihat dari penggunaan kata yang serupa pada headline berita dan potongan foto mahasiswa baru yang mengalami tindak kekerasan OSPEK. Sedangkan perbedaan terlihat dari pemilihan narasumber, jumlah berita mengenai kasus kekerasan dalam OSPEK yang dikeluarkan oleh masing-masing portal berita, maupun detil kronologi kasus yang disampaikan. Through the coverage of violence, media can influence public perceptions, bring up certain attitudes, and can influence public policy, including the case of campus orientation. This study aims to explore how OSPEK is framed in news. Framing analysis was carried out on eight articles that appeared in two news portals, Liputan6.com and detiknews since 30 August until 6 September 2019. This research was a qualitative study using Robert M. Entman's framing analysis method. The results showed that the Liputan6.com and detiknews shared similarities and demostrated differences in framing such a case. The similarity can be seen from the use of similar words in the news headlines and photos of new students who was a victim of violence during OSPEK. Meanwhile, differences can be seen from the selection of sources, the number of news and the chronological details of the cases.
