Prevalence and Risk Factors for Stroke in Central Region of Saudi Arabia

OBJECTIVE: Stroke is a medical emergency due to a sudden alteration in how blood is supplied to the brain, usually caused by a blocked artery or a burst blood vessel. There are several risk factors for stroke that can include medical conditions, lifestyle choices, genetic factors, and a person’s family history. This study was carried out with an objective to determine the frequency of various risk factors for stroke among males and females in a tertiary care hospital in Zulfi, Saudi Arabia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This observational cross-sectional was carried out at the Medical Department of Zulfi General Hospital, Zulfi, Majmaah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from 1st January 2018 to 30th December 2019. Patients with features of stroke based on history, clinical examination, and confirmed by neuroimaging confirmed (CT scan/MRI of the brain) were enrolled in this study. The exclusion criteria were patients with brain scans showing anomalies such as brain tumor, meningitis, multiple sclerosis, and metabolic alterations that may explain focal neurological impairment. In the selected sample population, the prevalence of different risk factors for stroke among males and females and the forms of stroke were evaluated. RESULTS: The mean age of the selected sample population (n=53) was 68.56 with SD=5.21 years, out of which the mean age of male was found to be 65.55+7.46 years and that of female was 73.21+4.25 years. Out of total 53 patients, 51(96.3%) were thromboembolic and 2 (3.7%) cases were cardioembolic. Hypertension 15(28.3%) was the most important risk factor, while the presence of diabetes mellitus 5(9.5%) was occasional. The data presented with 31(58.5%) pooled hypertension and diabetes as significant risk factors among the stroke patients. Hypertension 12(37.5%) and diabetes 4(12.5%) were found to be more common among males. However, the frequency of the combined risk factor of hypertension and diabetes was comparable both in males 16 (50%) and females 15 (71.4%). CONCLUSION: In this study, the prevalence of different risk factors was high, which is close to that found in developed nations. The main risk factors for males were hypertension and diabetes, while diabetes mellitus was more common in females.
R&D Spending and Stock Returns: Evidence from Germany

The key purpose of this study was to investigate the significance and impact of R&D spending on stock returns. This study aimed to provide evidence from the public listed companies of Germany. The research design followed in this study was quantitative. Data has been collected from secondary sources, and from the time period of 2013 to 2019. In this manner, author has collected the data about total assets, debt to equity, stock price average and R&D spending of 22 public listed companies in Germany. Initially, the data analysis technique that has been used in this study was panel data technique; however, due to the occurrence of heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation in a data set, author has used GLS model for analysing the impact of R&D spending on stock return. The findings of this study reveal the significant impact of R&D spending on stock return. With respect to control variables, findings of this study also confirm the significant impact of firm size on R&D spending, where debt to equity was found to have a significant but negative impact on R&D spending.
Systemic Hypertension and Pre-hypertension among school going adolescents: A cross-sectional study

Introduction: Essential hypertension in adults has its onset in childhood. Early detection of hypertension is important to initiate appropriate measures. Present study was planned to estimate the prevalence of systemic hypertension and pre-hypertension amongst school going adolescents and to study some epidemiological factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried at a school in Nagpur among 871 adolescents aged 10 to 18 years during September 2014 to March 2015. Demographic information, family history of hypertension, dietary history and history of physical activity were collected using pre-designed proforma. Height, weight and BP measurements were taken using standard techniques. BMI was calculated. Results: Out of 871 adolescents, 462 (53.05%) were males. Mean age was 13.86+2.2 (10–18) years. Prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension was 10.10% and 8.27% respectively. Prevalence of pre-hypertension and hypertension increased with increasing age. Overweight and obesity was found to be the most important factor related with pre-hypertension & hypertension. Other factors which were significantly related with pre-hypertension and hypertension were family history of hypertension, junk food consumption more than three times a week, inadequate physical activity & higher socioeconomic status. Significant difference was not found with respect to factors like gender, added salt consumption and inadequate consumption of fruit and vegetable. Conclusion: High prevalence of pre-hypertension and hypertension is found amongst school going adolescents. Prevalence increased with increasing age. Overweight and obesity, inadequate physical activity, higher socio-economic status, consumption of junk food and family history of hypertension are found to be significantly related with pre-hypertension and hypertension.
A Value Function Basis for Nexting and Multi-step Prediction

Humans and animals continuously make short-term cumulative predictions about their sensory-input stream, an ability referred to by psychologists as nexting . This ability has been recreated in a mobile robot using modern reinforcement learning approaches, but in practice there are limitations on how many predictions we can learn. In this paper, we investigate inferring new predictions from a minimal set of learned General Value Functions. We show that linearly weighting such a collection of value function predictions enables us to also make accurate multi-step predictions about future outcomes, and provide a closed-form solution to estimate this linear weighting. We also show that a similar approach can produce accurate estimates of value functions which we did not explicitly train to predict.
Healthy Lifestyles and Non-communicable Diseases (NCD) among Urban Residents. Case Study: Sri Pahang Public Housing, Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur

Unhealthy lifestyle, especially the physical inactivity, can contribute to the increase in risk for non-communicable diseases (NCD). A study was carried out at Sri Pahang Public Housing area, Kuala Lumpur. The study aimed to investigate the healthy lifestyle and the relationship with the NCD. A questionnaire survey had been carried out to collect the data. From the statistical analysis, it is found that most of the respondents were less healthy regarding their lifestyle. Half of them did not carry out their exercise regularly. The physical inactive among respondents were significantly correlated to their health condition (NCD).

PENYESUAIAN ROLE IDENTITY DALAM PERSPEKTIF IMAGINED INTERACTION

The objective of this study is to understand the use of Imagined Interaction as coping to women who lost her husband. Moreover, this study try to understand the self efficacy after the lost of husband and comprehend the psychosocial aspects in order to adjust one women’s role identity who left by her husband. This study used Honeycutt framework about imagined interaction, and as a supporting study, the author use symbolic interaction concepts. This is a qualitative research that uses post-positivist paradigm method. The data collection method used is in depth interview to 5 women who already lost her husband. Based on this study, identified imagined interaction activities in women who lost husband performed with significant other and devine other. While a role identity adjustment process was found 3 (three) categories are Realistic Adjustment, Moderate Adjustment, and Imagined Adjustment. In the adjustment process there are 3 (three) types of self-efficacy, namely :Acceptance Self-Efficacy: Sincere acceptance towards the lost of husband and optimist about the future; Negotiated Self-Efficacy: Sincere acceptance, however stay pessimist about the future; Imagined Self-Efficacy: Insincere acceptance, lack of confidence and very pessimist towards the future.
Health Status of Broiler Chickens Fed Diets with Equi-Protein Replacement of Soybean Meal with Groundunt Cake

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of equi-protein replacement of soybean meal with groundnut cake on immune status, haematology and serum biochemical parameters of broiler chickens. A total of One hundred and twenty (120) Cobb’s day old chicks were randomly allocated to five (5) dietary treatments of three (3) replicates and eight (8) chicks per replicate in a completely randomized design. The Diet I was the control diet with 100% SBM as the major plant protein source while in other diets, SBM was replaced with 25, 50, 75 and 100% GNC in equi-protein basis and designated as Diets II, III, IV and V respectively. Feed and water were provided ad-libitum throughout the experimental period of 56 days. Newcastle disease (ND) vaccines were administered following a stipulated regime. At the end of the experiment two birds were randomly selected from each replicate and slaughtered. Blood and serum was collected for haematological analysis, serum bioassay and HA/HI tests to determine antibody titres against ND vaccines. All data collected were subjected to one-way analysis of variance using SPSS software package. Results showed that haematological parameters were significantly influenced by the dietary treatments in which birds fed 50% equi-protein replacement of SBM with GNC had better PCV, basophil, MCH and MCHC values compared to that of birds in the other dietary treatments. The antibody titres of experimental birds were not significantly different among treatment groups. The diet with 50% equi-protein replacement of SBM with GNC elicited the highest antibody titres of Log28 and Log210 after the 1st and 2nd ND vaccinations when compared to the other diets. The serum total protein, globulin, albumin, and glucose were significantly influenced by the dietary treatments. The present result indicate that 50% equi-protein replacement of SBM with GNC in diets is not detrimental to health status of broiler chickens.
Fertility of Uncontrolled Village Flock Eggs and Comparison of Quality Traits of Table-Eggs Produced in Different Production Systems

In this study, the eggs produced in uncontrolled village conditions were compared to free-range, organic and cage-system in two seasons, in autumn and spring, in terms of external and internal quality traits. In the autumn and spring period, 110 eggs were collected from the village eggs and 50 eggs from other production systems. In order to determine the fertility in the village eggs, 60 eggs were placed in a laboratory type incubator in both seasons and fertility control was made at the 18th day. All data of egg quality traits were performed by taking the average of the two seasons. Egg shape index, shell ratio, shell thickness, shell cleanness, shell defects, albumen and yolk traits differed significantly among production systems (P < 0.05). The lowest shape index, shell thickness and shell cleanness were found in village eggs. Higher shell rates were determined from eggs in cage and organic production compared to others (P < 0.05). The yolk height and yolk index were the lowest and the yolk colors were the darkest in the white cage eggs (P < 0.05). Brown cage eggs showed the better results in the majority of their quality traits. However, they had a higher meat and blood-spot level than other systems. In addition, the presence of cockerels in the village flocks caused the fertile eggs and approximately 85% fertility was obtained. Our results showed that it has become obvious that the village hen and free range hen eggs which can be marketed in high prices compared to the commercial eggs, have no superiority in terms of the traits they are considered. Besides, as they are significantly fertile, especially in hot summer months, according to storage duration and conditions, the probability of embryo development for these eggs has turned to be of high importance for consumption.
Toxicological aspects and pharmaco-therapeutic properties of linalool, a natural terpene derivative of essential oils: Literature studies

Essential oils are bioactive ingredients extracted from aromatic plants by distillation. The terpene derivatives present or extracted from these essential oils are considered in a double way, on the one hand as a support for pharmacological activities demonstrated from essential oils, on the other hand as natural biomolecules with high therapeutic potential. These are therefore natural substances or molecules, which have an important reservoir for preventing or treating many organic and functional disorders. We looked at one of these terpene derivatives, linalool, to identify and analyze the bibliographic data available and establish a balance sheet on the therapeutic, nutritional, cosmetic and environmental interests and benefit of this natural biomolecule.

Cyclic Evaluation of Capacity of Recovered Traction Battery after Short-Circuit Damage

Article history: Received: 09 December, 2020 Accepted: 24 January, 2021 Online: 12 February, 2021 Presented paper discusses possibilities related to the recovery of the damaged lithium batteries after the short-circuit. The recovery procedure was applied on the selected traction LiFePO4 40Ah cell which was initially short-circuited. After the short-circuit, the damaged cell has visible damage of the electro-mechanical properties. For the recovery of damaged traction cell as much as possible, the experimental recovery procedure has been proposed. For the realization of this recovery procedure, the automated workplace for the cell discharging and charging with the proposed algorithm was created. For verification of the proposed recovery algorithm, the traction cell was tested with a delivered amperehour test at the various discharging currents. Results of the delivered ampere-hour test of the recovered cell were compared to results of delivered ampere-hour tests of the new cell. From the final evaluation is seen that the proposed recovery algorithm can recover up to 90% of capacity within a wide range of discharge and charge current.
CONSEQUENCES OF VOCATIONAL TRAINING FROM GROWN MARKET DYNAMICS

If the quality of your company is lower than that of its competitors, market pressure arises. This pressure must be reduced by appropriate measures before it threatens the existence of the company. As the criteria for the competitive strength of a company have changed significantly over the last 50 years, the effective measures are not the same as they used to be. Typical markets today are global and therefore narrow and dynamic. More than ever, companies are forced to keep innovating in order to counter the superiority of their competitors. The authors call the quantity of these innovative events that cannot be ignored “dynamic”. With low dynamics, knowledge, good methods and optimal processes are the criteria for the competitive strength of a company. This has been supported by what is known as “dual training” in Germany. Today, at high dynamics, the quantity and quality of problem-solving ideas is crucial. The source of ideas come solely from employees who are well-suited to solving a particular problem. The authors call this talent. Talent becomes visible only when a company faces an actual problem. During vocational training, the talent only for problem-solving in vocational training can reveal itself and develop. This means that the talent needed today for the dynamic day-to-day running of a company is only visible after training. Only then can they be identified, promoted and developed. This article attempts to shed light on hidden connections and describe them as problems by interpreting the authors' own observations from an almost systems theory perspective. Based on an application example, some consequences for vocational training resulting from the growing dynamics of the economy are described. By drawing attention to the upheaval in vocational education and training for dynamic environments can alternative courses of action be derived.
A prospective randomized single blind study to compare the safety and efficacy of propronolol and topiramate in migraine prophylaxis

Background: The aim of the study was to compare the Safety and efficacy of propranolol and topiramate in migraine prophylaxis.Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, single blind study which was conducted for six months in 100 patients of outpatient department of Neurology Government General Hospital, Guntur.Results: Among the hundred patients fifty were allotted to group A – propranolol 40 mg bd and fifty were allotted to group B- topiramate 25 mg bd. statistically there is no significant differences were found between the treatment groups of Propranolol and topiramate for the reduction in mean duration and severity of migraine headaches. Both Propranolol and topiramate have p value<0.001. This shows that both propranolol and topiramate have significantly decreased in the mean duration and severity of migraine attacks. However, in the present study topiramate is slightly more efficacious in reducing the symptoms of migraine frequency per month (days), duration and severity (visual analogue scale- VAS score) from baseline at the end of six months. The decrease in frequency of migraine attacks from 10.44±4.38 to 3.18±4.48 i.e., 70.2% from baseline is seen with topiramate.Conclusions: This study demonstrated that both propranolol and topiramate could significantly reduce migraine headache frequency, duration and intensity. However, compared with propranolol topiramate showed better results. topiramate 25 mg reduced the symptoms like frequency, duration and severity of migraine attacks from base line at the end of six months but more number of adverse effects were seen in topiramate group.
MobileNets: Efficient Convolutional Neural Network for Identification of Protected Birds

Wildlife trade is one of the main factors causing endangered bird species. In Indonesia, trade has caused 28 bird species to be classified in the endangered bird category. Protection efforts have been made with the establishment of 564 species of Indonesian birds as protected birds. For law enforcement, certainty is needed in the identification of these bird species. This study begins with a Forum of Discussion Groups from relevant institutions in Java and Bali to determine the types of protected birds that are prioritized to developed in this application. Based on the results of the Forum of Discussion Group, a bird photo dataset compiled using 17 categories or types of bird photos as prioritized in this study. The method used in this study is the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method, which combined the structure of MobileNet and the weight of the network that has previously trained using ImageNet. The results of this study are the differences of results between CNN standards and those combined with the structure of MobileNet. For better accuracy, using the CNN standard, which is around 98.38% for the accuracy of the training, while in terms of size, combined with MobileNet has a relatively smaller model size, which is 68 megabytes. Keywords— wildlife; endangered; forum of discussion group; dataset; convolutional neural network; MobileNet; ImageNet.
Assessment of drug utilization pattern of antidiabetic drugs in type-2 diabetes outpatient of a tertiary care teaching hospital western Rajasthan

Background: Glycemic control remains the major therapeutic objective for prevention of target organ damage and other complications arising from diabetes. Poor glycemic control in diabetes mellitus can be prevented by using rational use of oral hypoglycemic agents (OHA). Rational use of the drugs in populations can be effectively evaluated using drug utilization studies.Methods: The present study was conducted in the outpatient departments of General Medicine at Sardar Patel Medical College associated group of PBM Hospital, a tertiary care teaching hospital. It was a cross sectional prospective study carried out over a period of four months from September 2020 to January 2020. Patients were enrolled on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results: Total 300 patient prescription patterns were studied, out of which 58.33% were males and 41.66% were females. Most of the patients were in the age group of 51-60 years. Average number of anti-diabetic drugs per prescription was found to be 1.99. biguanides was the most commonly prescribed drug (97%) as mono therapy and combination therapy followed by sulfonylureas (65.6%), DPP 4 inhibitors (24%) Majority of the patients (66%) were on multidrug therapy.Conclusions: Metformin was the most frequently prescribed drug in diabetes. Prescription by Brand name is a matter of concern. Overall, monotherapy was found to be predominant over combination therapy. There was no significant increase in the prescribing of newer oral antidiabetic agents like GLP-1receptor inhibitors and DPP-4 inhibitors. glimepride + metformin combination was the most commonly prescribed combination.
