New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacter Cloacae – A Rare Multidrug Resistance Strain in a Caucasian Woman

New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM-1) is a novel metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) gene carried by some Enterobacteriaceae that induces resistance to most of the antibiotics. First described in a Swedish patient hospitalized in India with an infection due to Klebsiella pneumoniae. NDM-1 makes bacteria resistant to a broad range of beta-lactam antibiotics. These include the antibiotics of the carbapenem family, which are a mainstay for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. Most of these carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are increasingly recognized in hospital settings and post-acute care settings like long-term acute care settings. Percentage of CRE infections is increasing in the United States of America, and invasive infections with CRE carry high mortality rates and limited treatment options. We here present a rare case of elderly Caucasian woman with CRE cellulitis of both legs with no travel history.
Studi Desain Generator Magnet Permanen Fluks Radial

Radial flux permanent magnet generators are effective for application to low speed wind power generation systems. Magnetic loss due to air gap or called cogging torque is one of the problems that can cause a decrease in the output voltage and output power performance of this type of generator. In this study, the topology used is a dual stator radial flux permanent magnet generator. The topology is expected to increase the electrical flux produced by the stator coils. The purpose of this study is to increase the output voltage and output power of the generator using the stator teeth pairing design method. There are 3 variables in this design method. The three variables have been able to decrease the value of cogging torque. However, the three design variables have made the generator more unstable. This is due to an increase in the cogging torque frequency distribution. The three variables have been able to increase the generator output voltage and the generator output power respectively reached 3.94% and 3.3%. The increase in output voltage and output power of the generator is not too significant due to an increase in the cogging torque frequency distribution which reached 162%, karena itu tuliskan temuan atau kontribusi utama dari naskah sebaik mungkin dengan singkat.
Trajectory Based Upper Body Gesture Recognition for an Assistive Robot

The aging of the European and German population poses multiple challenges, in particular, the nursing sector potentially faces an increasing lack of caregivers to provide appropriate care for elderly people. Future robots might be able to assist in these scenarios by taking over repetitive or physical tasks of caregivers or by providing general assistance allowing seniors to longer stay at their own homes. A crucial task for such an assistive robotic system is the intuitive interaction between a robot and potentially multiple humans. Gestures, especially of the upper body and hand, are hereby a promising mean of communication. This thesis will thus investigate how human gestures can be classified using machine learning techniques. The input data will be represented by sequences of upper body joint positions obtained from existing skeleton tracking software. Special focus will be given to Probabilistic Movement Primitives (ProMPs), as they have many desirable properties but have not yet been systematically evaluated for gesture classification tasks. As part of the evaluation, different preprocessing techniques such as Dynamic Time Warping and Local Optimization are investigated. Dimensionality reduction, using PCR and UMAP, is evaluated as both an alternative and an addition to the weight space transformation of ProMPs. For classification two methods, namely Gaussian Mixture models (GMMs) and Support Vector Machines (SVMs), are considered in offline and online settings. The methods are evaluated on a newly recorded data set with over 1000 demonstrations of kitchen tasks as well as the widely adopted MSR Action3D data set. The results show that ProMPs can successfully classify gestures, and are able to compete with the SVMs used in this evaluation. The choice of the preprocessing methods is not able to improve on these results, and might even harm the classification score in some cases. However, both ProMPs and SVMs have numerical limitations when performing online learning and generally perform poorly on the higher-dimensional MSR Action3D data set. This motivates a reduction down to the classification of hand gestures, as these only consist of three spatial dimensions. Dimensionality reduction techniques were able to find suitable embeddings for the kitchen data set, but could not improve results on the MSR Action3D data set. Summing up, ProMPs can perform basic gesture classification, but further work is needed to improve the classification of more challenging actions.
Observation of High Doppler Velocity Wings in the Nascent Wind of R Doradus

We study the morpho-kinematics in the nascent wind of AGB star R Doradus in the light of high Doppler velocity wings observed in the spectral lines of several species. We probe distances from the star between ~10 and ~100 au using ALMA observations of the emission of five different molecular lines. High Doppler velocity enhancements of the line emission are observed in the vicinity of the line of sight crossing the star, reminiscent of those recently interpreted as gas streams in the nascent wind of a similar AGB star, EP Aqr. They are present in both blue-shifted and red-shifted hemispheres but are not exactly back-to-back. They are accelerated at a typical rate of 0.7 km s$^{-1}$ au$^{-1}$ up to some 20 km s$^{-1}$. Important differences are observed between the emissions of different molecules. We exclude an effect of improper continuum subtraction. However, in contrast to EP Aqr, the line of sight plays no particular role in the R Dor morpho-kinematics, shedding doubt on the validity of a gas stream interpretation.We discuss possible interpretations in terms of stellar pulsations or of rotation of the gas in the environment of the star. We conclude that, in the state of current knowledge, no fully convincing picture of the physics governing the production of such high velocities, typically twice as large as the terminal velocity, can be reliably drawn. New high resolution analyses of observations of the nascent wind of oxygen-rich AGB stars are needed to clarify the issue.
Splenic Artery, It’s Branches and Variations

Aim: Current study aimed to study the coeliac trunk and its branches in 50 specimens, presence of supernumery branches from coeliac trunk and its branches, and presence of any aberrant vessels. Method: The study was carried out in 50 human cadaveric specimens. Of the 50 specimens, 22 were done in the dissection hall cadavers, 28 were collected from the post mortem. The arteries supplying the liver, stomach, pancreas and the spleen were dissected. Results: The mean length of the splenic artery was 9.11 cm (ranged from 8 cm to 13.5 cm). Its tortousity index was from 1.02 to 1.29. Suprapancreatic course in 76%, retropancreatic course in 20% and intrapancreatic course in 4% were noted. Apart from the usual branches, the superior polar (30%), inferior polar (36%) and both polar arteries (8%) were found. 18% of specimens had dorsal pancreatic artery, 28% had posterior gastric artery and 12% had gastrosplenic artery. Regarding the Left gastric artery, it took origin from the coeliac trunk in 96%, from the aorta in 2% and from the splenic artery in 2% of the specimens. Conclusion: The knowledge of the branching pattern, variations in the origin and the presence of supernumery branches and aberrant arteries which had been enumerated in this study will be helpful to the surgeons and the radiologists.
University of Birmingham Phronesis and the knowledge-action gap in moral psychology and moral education

This article has two aims. First, to offer a critical review of the literatures on two well-known single-component solutions to the problem of a gap between moral knowledge and moral action: moral identity and moral emotions. Second, to take seriously the rising interest in Aristotle-inspired virtue ethics and character development within the social sciences: approaches that seem to assume that the development of phronesis (practical wisdom) bridges the gap in question. Since phronesis is a multi-component construct, the latter part of this article offers an overview of what those different components would be, as a necessary precursor to operationalising them if the phronesis hypothesis were to be subjected to empirical scrutiny. The idea of a neo-Aristotelian multi-component solution to the ‘gappiness problem’ invites comparisons with another multi-component candidate, the neo-Kohlbergian four-component model, with which it shares at least surface similarities. Some space is thus devoted to the proposed theoretical uniqueness of a phronesis-based multi-component model vis-à-vis the neo-Kohlbergian one. Our main conclusion is that – weaknesses in its developmental psychological grounding notwithstanding – operationalising the phronesis model for the purposes of instrument design and empirical inquiry would be a feasible and potentially productive enterprise.

An Economic Study of a Wind Energy Project Using Different Sources of Wind Data

In this study, a preliminary economic feasibility study of the project of wind power at the site of Al-Shehabi (Wasit-Iraq) was conducted using measured wind data at altitudes of 10, 30, 50 and 52 m per 10 minutes. For the purpose of comparison, data from NASA were used at the same location at 50 m height. The lowest unit cost of electricity from wind energy was found to be 0.028 $/Kwh and 0.0399 $/Kwh by using the standard methodologies of Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) equation and Net Present Value (NPV) procedure, respectively. Furthermore, RETScreen software was used to perform the economic prefeasibility study of a proposed wind farm. The study concludes that this site is economically feasible if a wind farm with 5.0 MW of ten wind turbines (EWT DW54) was established, with an NPV of $11,309,956, after-tax IRR of 24.7%, a simple payback period of 6.1 years, and a capacity factor of 38.34%. Finally, this wind farm development will result in a reduction in greenhouse gases of 31876 tCO2 per year. The sensitivity and risk analysis were performed and guarantee the safety of specified financial input parameters values.
Should Items and Answer Keys of Small-Scale Exams Be Published?

This study aimed to examine the effect of using items from previous exams on students’ pass-fail rates and on the psychometric properties of the tests and items. The study included data from 115 tests and 11,500 items used in the midterm and final exams of 3,910 students in the preclinical term at the Faculty of Medicine from 2014 to 2019. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics related to the total test scores, item difficulty and item discrimination values, and internal consistency values for reliability. The Shapiro-Wilks test was used to evaluate the distribution structure, and t test were used to analyze the differences between groups. The findings showed that the mean item repetition rate from 2014 to 2019 ranged from 16.98% to 39.00%. The total score variance decreased significantly as the percentage of test items increased. There was a significant, moderately positive relationship between the percentage of repeated test items and the number of students eligible to pass their grades. Item difficulty values obtained from initial item use were significantly lower than those obtained from repeated item use. We conclude that test items and answer keys should not be published by test makers unless they have the means such as the infrastructure, budget, and personnel to develop new items in place of the ones previously published in test banks.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DENTAL CARIES AND BODY MASS INDEX AMONG PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN IN MAKKAH CITY

Purpose: To evaluate the association between dental caries and body mass index (BMI) among a sample of male primary school children in Makkah city, Saudi Arabia.Population and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study carried out on a sample of 548 6-12-years-old children in Makkah City, western region of Saudi Arabia. Cluster random sampling technique was applied to select students from public as well as private schools. All the subjects were examined by a single operator using a dmft (decayed, missing, filled primary teeth) and DMFT (decayed, missing, filled, permanent teeth) indices and BMI after obtaining the informed consent.Results: The study included children with mean age 9.5±1.8 years. Of the examined children, 91.2 % had dental caries. Obese children represented 16.8% of the participants whereas underweight represented 11.6% of them. Caries prevalence in primary and permanent teeth among caries-affected children was 67.60% and 86.40% respectively. Underweight children exhibited the highest prevalence and severity of dental caries in both primary and permanent teeth. Correlation analysis showed significant negative relations with BMI, dmft [r = -0.627, p< 0.01] and DMFT [r = -0.205, p< 0.01]. Conclusions: Most of 6-12-years-old primary school children in Makkah had dental caries in both primary and permanent teeth. Underweight children were more likely to have dental caries in both primary and permanent teeth compared to children with other BMI categories.
The Impact of Meteorological Factors on Fine Particulate Pollution in Northeast 1 China 2 3 4

22 Due to biomass burning and coal combustion, heavy fine particulate (PM2.5) pollution 23 frequently occurs in Northeast China, threatening more than 117 million people’s 24 health. Meteorological factors have always been considered as one of the key 25 elements influencing the accumulation and dilution of PM2.5 pollution. However, 26 meteorological contribution to particulate pollution in Northeast China is still of great 27 uncertainty. By using the multiple regression method, we studied the major 28 meteorological factors affecting the accumulation and dilution of PM2.5 pollution 29 based on observational data. We found that wind speed, temperature inversion, and 30 the height of the planetary boundary layer are main factors influencing PM2.5 31 pollution (PM2.5 > 75 μg/m) in major cities of Northeast China. Among them, wind 32 speed is the key factor impacting PM2.5 concentration in Harbin and Shenyang. 33 Meanwhile, the height of the planetary boundary layer is the key factor of PM2.5 34 pollution in Changchun. Heavy pollution (PM2.5>150 μg/m) in Northeast China 35 usually occurs when the wind speed is under 20 knots, the planetary boundary layer is 36 under 500 m and the temperature difference of the inversion layer is over 6°C. Such 37 results imply that, to deal with PM2.5 pollution, we should focus on not only 38 anthropogenic emissions but also the special meteorological condition which can 39 affect the air pollution mechanism in Northeast China. 40
Design, Simulation, and Fabrication of a Wearable Dual-Band Filter with Felt Substrate for Application in Medical Systems

In this paper, a wearable dual-band filter is designed, simulated, and fabricated to operate at GPS and Bluetooth telecommunication frequency bands. In this filter, the frequency bands of 1.563-1.678 GHz and 2.4-2.48 GHz are achieved. These two frequency bands are widely used in the design of telecommunication-medical systems. The textures are generally used in place of conventional dielectric for the design of wearable devices. These include texture, denim, wool, and felt. In this filter, a felt substrate with dielectric constant 1.3 and 2 mm height is used. In this paper, CST Microwave Studio 2019 full-wave software is used to simulate all structures. The final dimensions of the resonators of this filter are 6 × 2 cm or 0.25 × 0.03 λg at 1.57 GHz. The filter was then fabricated to verify the simulations performed. The results of the measurement of the characteristics of this filter as well as the simulation results are in good agreement with each other.
Political astroturfing across the world

At the very latest since the Russian Internet Research Agency’s (IRA) intervention in the U.S. presidential election, scholars and the broader public have become wary of coordinated disinformation campaigns. These hidden activities aim to deteriorate the public’s trust in electoral institutions or the government’s legitimacy, and can exacerbate political polarization. But unfortunately, academic and public debates on the topic are haunted by conceptual ambiguities, and rely on few memorable examples, epitomized by the often cited “social bots” who are accused of having tried to influence public opinion in various contemporary political events. In this paper, we examine “political astroturfing,” a particular form of centrally coordinated disinformation campaigns in which participants pretend to be ordinary citizens acting independently (Kovic, Rauchfleisch, Sele, & Caspar, 2018). While the accounts associated with a disinformation campaign may not necessarily spread incorrect information, they deceive the audience about the identity and motivation of the person manning the account. And even though social bots have been in the focus of most academic research (Ferrara, Varol, Davis, Menczer, & Flammini, 2016; Stella, Ferrara, & De Domenico, 2018), seemingly automated accounts make up only a small part – if any – of most astroturfing campaigns. For instigators of astroturfing, relying exclusively on social bots is not a promising strategy, as humans are good at detecting low-quality information (Pennycook & Rand, 2019). On the other hand, many bots detected by state-of-the-art social bot detection methods are not part of an astroturfing campaign, but unrelated non-political spam

Our undertaking will give an ideal response for this downside. An accelerometer can be exploited in a vehicle caution application with the purpose that risky driving can be identified. It tends to be utilized as an accident or on the other hand rollover finder of the vehicle during and after an accident. With sign from an accelerometer, a serious mishap can be prevented
Simplified transport models for neutron energy spectra evaluations

An important issue in the design of nuclear reactor cores is the determination of multigroup cross sections. This task is accomplished by means of a combined procedure involving a space homogenization and an energy averaging to obtain group-collapsed data that can well reproduce the neutronic interactions in the real multiplying system. For this purpose, it is necessary to determine accurate neutron spectra (distribution in the energy domain of the neutron flux) that are used as weights in the collapsing process. In this thesis the energy aspects are analysed. The neutron transport equation is solved through the use of some simplifications: first of all the asymptotic theory is used in order to eliminate the space dependence of the problem and reduce it to a single parameter; then some methods to approximate the collision density and, consequently, the scattering integral are used. In particular, the classic Fermi continuous slowing down approach, the Groeling-Goertzel and the Selengut-Goertzel methods are considered. Adopting these simplifications, the neutron spectra is evaluated for different moderator media, in slab geometry, using the Pn and the Bn methods. The lethargy variable is discretized for the solution of the transport integral equation. In order to reduce the error, a grid independence analysis is performed for each method considered. This thesis is important because it is a first step in order to determine, in a physical consistent way, the energy grid for multigroup models, on which deterministic solvers of the neutron transport equation are based. The results allow also to get a physical insight into the energy collapsing procedure for the generation of multigroup nuclear data.
