PENERAPAN DIGITAL LEADERSHIP CAMAT DALAM

The low Human Development Index (HDI) for the protected areas is a government-focused development priority, especially in the health sector. Attempts should be made to enhance the efficiency of regional public services related to efforts to break the chain of Covid-19. Subdistrict heads have also contributed greatly to the optimization of task assignments to the apparatus. An appeal to implement social distancing becomes an obstacle for the subdistrict head for there is no face-to-face meeting with the assigned apparatus. The subdistrict heads are required to be able to adapt to the situation. Thus, the subdistrict heads must use digital media in carrying out their duties. The leadership style that influences service performance and is appropriate to be implemented in this phenomenon is digital leadership. Meanwhile, the delegation of authority is a variable that might strengthen the influence of leadership on the performance of public services. This study aims to investigate the effect of the subdistrict head’s digital leadership on the performance of public service employees in the subdistricts of Pendalungan with the delegation of regent/mayor authority as a moderating variable.
Long-Lived Electronic Coherence in Dissipative Exciton Dynamics of Light-Harvesting Complexes

Recent experiments on light-harvesting complexes at ambient temperatures display oscillatory signals in two-dimensional spectroscopy. They suggest mechanisms supporting coherent exciton transport through molecular networks in noisy environments. We demonstrate a mechanism that relies on the continuum properties of the vibronic spectral density. We employ the spectral density of the Fenna–Matthews–Olson (FMO) complex and perform a nonperturbative calculation of two-dimensional spectra. They display long-lasting electronic coherence up to 0.3 ps at a temperature of 277 K. Two important properties of the spectral density found in the FMO complex emerge; (i) the coupling to higher-frequency vibrations is large, as required for efficient transport toward the reaction center, and (ii) the slope of the spectral density at zero frequency approaches zero. We demonstrate that electronic coherence and fast thermalization depend sensitively on the continuum part of the spectral density but can be simultaneously reali.

Mosquitoes are vectors of various life-threatening diseases like malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever etc. Their close proximity to human habitations allows ease for disease transmission. They have been identified by key morphological tools like their wings, legs, bristles etc. but closely related species are difficult to identify based on morphology. Molecular tools have, therefore, been employed to help with the more accurate identification. This study was aimed at identifying and characterizing different mosquito species in five different states in NorthCentral Nigeria using internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) and mitochondrial 16S rDNA regions. Mosquito larvae were collected from stagnant water in breeding places at each collection site in North-central Nigeria. Morphological identification was carried out using standard keys. DNA extraction was performed using EZNA extraction kit. PCR amplification of ribosomal ITS2 and mitochondrial 16S-rDNA gene regions were carried out. The PCR amplicons were sequenced using primers initially used for the PCR. Sequence data were aligned in MEGA 6.0 using ClustalW multiple alignment feature and then compared with GenBank databases for similarity. Phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from the ITS2 region was able to distinguish two mosquito subfamilies; Anophelinae and Culicinae as well as differentiate between and amongst Culex and Aedes species. However, it was unable to effectively distinguish between the two different species of Anopheles sequenced. Mitochondrial 16S rRNA marker was also able to distinguish the two mosquito subfamilies. It efficiently identified and differentiated Culex, Aedes and Anopheles mosquito species sequenced in this study. This study concludes that heterogeneity among Nigerian populations of Anopheles mosquitoes of may likely impact malaria vector control programs. We recommend the combination of nuclear and mitochondrial markers for effective and reliable phylogenetic study and determination of evolutionary relationship among mosquito species.
Socio-Economic Conditions: A Driver of Pediatric Injury Prevention

Background: Developing Injury Prevention Programs (IPP) is accorded a lot of importance in American College of Surgeons (ACS) level 1 Pediatric Trauma Centers (PTC). Trauma remains the main killer in the pediatric population and determining priorities in IPP is difficult due to competition for limited resources. This study evaluates factors that could help determine resourcing priorities of IPP by evaluating its impact in Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA). Materials and Methods: Retrospective chart review of all children involved in MVA from 2016 2018 as pedestrians or bicyclists was performed. Demographics, injury type, and Injury Severity Score (ISS) subdivided the cohort. Average income for Zip codes where MVA occurred was obtained from publically available county records. Zip codes and average incomes from sites of MVA were compared to those of school districts participating in the IPP to assess effectiveness and community need. Results: Patient population was 64% minority (Hispanic and African American) and 60% male. Extremity (30%) and head and neck (30%) accounted for preponderance of injuries. Race did not significantly correlate to specific type of injury or increased ISS. 67% of pedestrian and bicyclist MVA occurred on weekdays. 47% concordance was noted between IPP and trauma zip codes. Incidences occurred in low-income areas compared to average median household income for the country. Conclusion: Ethnic minorities and low-income areas are disproportionately affected in pedestrian and bicyclist MVA. Trauma centers should partner with local area schools as part of community outreach to decrease morbidity and mortality. Socioeconomic status should factor into allocation of resources.
Spatial interpolation of soil hydraulic properties and simulated rice yield

Simulated estimates of crop yield were made for rainfed rice in a 50 ha dryland rice area. The aim was to investigate how soil units and management units of different sizes with different yields could be used to obtain values for areas of land. Two procedures were applied. First, yields were simulated at six sites, that were representative of six soil mapping units. Second, yields were simulated using soil information from 133 auger sites, and were interpolated over management units using block kriging. Differences between the two procedures for the total area and for a test set of 22 additionally sampled locations were small. A 60% increase in precision was achieved when relatively large management units were defined. A Geographical Information System was used to identify areas with greatest yield potential for rainfed dryland rice. Statistical analysis showed that the six soil units could be grouped into three yield classes. The largest yields were obtained for a sub-area comprising 11% of the survey area which was associated with a slowly permeable Bg horizon in the soil profile. It was concluded that the best procedure for the spatial interpolation of simulated rice yield should be based on preliminary simulation of crop yields. A sensitivity analysis of the impact of weather variability and soil heterogeneity on the variation of yield was useful to detect the importance of their contributions. The procedures developed in this study are of value in obtaining a reliable estimate of average yield, and can consequently be used for associated cost-benefit calculations.

The intersect distribution of the regular tetrahedron

A calculation of the intersect distribution of the regular tetrahedron is given throughout its full range of distances. This splits into five intervals where the closed algebraic expressions of the chord distribution are explicitly calculated. The resulting expressions are surprisingly simple within the three inner intervals and not particularly involved in the two outer ones. The implications of these expressions for the asymptotic behaviour of the scattering intensity are briefly discussed.
Reliability and Safety of Autonomous Systems Based on Semantic Modelling for Self-Certification

A novel modelling paradigm for online diagnostics and prognostics for autonomous systems is presented. A model for the autonomous system being diagnosed is designed using a logic-based formalism. The model supports the run-time ability to verify that the autonomous system is safe and reliable for operation within a dynamic environment. The paradigm is based on the philosophy that there are different types of semantic relationships between the states of different parts of the system. A finite state automaton is devised for each sensed component and some of the non-sensed components. To capture the interdependencies of components within such a complex robotic platform, automatons were related to each other by semantic relationships. Modality was utilised by the formalism to abstract the relationships and to add measures for the possibility and uncertainty of the relationships. The complexity of the model was analysed to evaluate its scalability and applicability to other systems. The results demonstrate that the complexity is not linear and a computational time of 10 ms was required to achieve run-time diagnostics for 2200 KB of knowledge for complex system interdependences. The ability to detect and mitigate hardware related failures was demonstrated within a confined space autonomous operation. Our findings provide evidence of the applicability of our approach for the significant challenge of run-time safety compliance and reliability in autonomous systems.
Effect of varied tapering strategies on the Athletes mood state in selected athletics training centers of Ethiopia

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of varied tapering strategies on the athletes’ mood state which influence the performance of the athletes. Thirty seven young distance runners (mean age: 20 ± 1.97 years; mean training age: 2.43 ± .603 years) were randomly assign into High intensity-low volume (HILV) and high intensity-moderate volume (HIMV) taper groups. Training frequencies were five times per week and conducted for two weeks. Before and after two weeks of the taper intervention, the mood states were recorded using the profiles of mood states (POMS) questionnaires developed by Mac Nair et al, (1971). Total mood disturbances (TMD) had been calculated by adding all the negative mood states (aggression, tension, fatigue, confusion &depression) and subtracting the positive mood state (Vigor) for each participant athletes. The paired t-test and Post test ANCOVA showed that there was a statistical significant change in both within and between the HILV &HIMV taper groups. Though, there was no statistical significant difference in the mood subscales of tension, fatigue and depression between the two HILV &HIMV taper groups. In conclusion, the finding revealed that both the HILV &HIMV tapering strategies have important effects in the improvement of the TMD. Large effects in the reduction of TMD and improvements of the vigor were observed in the HILV taper group than the HIMV taper group.
Subclinical Hypothyroidism in Pregnancy: A Review

Pregnancy-reference levels of Subclinic hypothyroidism (SCH), along with normal level of serum thyroxine, are called high thyroid stimulation hormone level (TSH). Autoimmune Thyroiditis is also common in patients of subclinical hypothyroidism. Subclinical Hypothyroidism in pregnancy is the cause of some adverse obstetric consequences. Changes in the metabolism of thyroid hormones during pregnancy needs to be kept in mind, while diagnosing thyroid abnormalities. There is a jump in the obstetric and neonatal results, like preterm delivery, miscarriage, fetal growth restriction, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, low birth weight, abruptio placentae and poor Apgar scores at birth. Treatment with Cevothyroxine therapy may help reduce some of these adverse effects, however there is restricted evidence to provision it. The behavior of subclinical hypothyroidism should target maternal TSH concentrations of less than 2.5mIU/L. However there is a lack of recommendation for the official starting dose of levothyroxine. So, individualised low doses of levothyroxine can be started and thereafter titred to the maintain the TSH in the target level

Trust, But Verify: A Longitudinal Analysis Of Android OEM Compliance and Customization

Nowadays, more than two billions of mobile devices run Android OS. At the core of this success are the open source nature of the Android Open Source Project and vendors’ ability to customize the code base and ship it on their own devices. While the possibility of customizations is beneficial to vendors, they can potentially lead to compatibility and security problems. To prevent these problems, Google developed a set of requirements that must be satisfied for a vendor to brand its devices as "Android," and recently introduced Project Treble as an effort to partition vendor customizations. These requirements are encoded as part of a textual document (called Compatibility Definition Document, or CDD) and various automated tests. This paper performs the first longitudinal study on Android OEM customizations. We first built a dataset of 2,907 ROMs, spanning across 42 different vendors, and covering Android versions from 1.6 to 9.0 (years 2009–2020). We then developed an analysis framework and pipeline to extract each ROM’s customization layers and evaluate it across several metrics. For example, we analyze ROMs to determine whether they are compliant with respect to the various requirements and whether their customizations negatively affect the security posture of the overall device. In the process, we focus on various aspects, ranging from security hardening of binaries, SELinux policies, Android init scripts, and kernel security hardening techniques. Our results are worrisome. We found 579 over 2,907 (~20%) of the ROMs have at least one violation for the CDD related to their Android version — incredibly, 11 of them are branded by Google itself. Some of our findings suggest that vendors often go out of their way to bypass or "comment out" safety nets added by the Android security team. In other cases, we found ROMs that modify init scripts to launch at boot outdated versions (with known CVEs and public POCs) of programs as root and reachable from a remote attacker (e.g., tcpdump ). This paper shows that Google’s efforts are not enough, and we offer several recommendations on how to improve the compliance check pipelines.
The Effect of Corrective Exercises on Posture Control and Quality of Life of Military Staff with Chronic Low Back Pain

Background and Aim: Musculoskeletal injuries are a major cause of disability in military personnel. Meanwhile, low back pain is one of the most common and high-risk problems among the military. Low back pain is more common in active-duty personnel and in military settings than in other populations. Therefore, the aim of this study was the survey of the effect of corrective exercises on posture control and quality of life of soldiers with chronic low back pain. Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design, the statistical sample consisted of 30 soldiers with low back pain with a mean age of 35.6 who were randomly selected. The Y Balance Test was used to measure the control of the passport and the balance of the subjects. The quality of life was measured by the World Health Organization's Quality of Life Questionnaire. Results: In physical health, psychological health and environmental health, subscales of quality of life, there is no significant difference between pre-test and post-test (P<0.05). However, there was a significant difference in the subscale of social health (P<0.05). The balance between pre-test and post-test of the control group was not significantly different (P<0.05). The results of correlated t-test on the variables of quality of life and balance in the experimental group showed that there was no significant difference between subscales of quality of life: physical health and environmental health in pre-test and post-test (P<0.05) while subscales of psychological health and social health showed a significant difference in pre-test and post-test (P<0.05). Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that corrective exercises had a positive effect on the quality of life indicators and posture control of soldiers with chronic low back pain. Therefore, it is recommended that corrective exercises be considered in military organs along with other exercises.
A Comparative Study between Silver Based Dressing and Vacuum Dressing in Management of Diabetic Foot Infection

For centuries silver was presented to the population as an active ingredient for sanitation and food protection against bacteria but in these recent years it has been introduced for wound care management as antibacterial agent. Vacuum dressing is a new technique of dressing Also called Negative-pressure wound therapy [NPWT] using a device to make continuous suction over an open wound decreasing edema and secretions, promotes healing and granulation tissue fast growing. We aimed to compare between silver based dressing and vacuum dressing in management of diabetic foot infection 50 Patients ages from 50-65 years old having diabetic foot Infection, on insulin injections and undergoing treatment. All patients had prober surgical debridement and wound irrigation using normal saline 0.9% and povidone iodine, then they will be subdivided into 2 groups those in the first group will have silver containing ointment afterward. The second group will have silver based dressing using vacuum dressing. There were no difference between the two groups in healing percentage [84%] in the two groups and number of patients needed higher amputation were equal in both groups 3 cases in each group [16%], although there was significance difference in wound size at the end of the study between silver group and vacuum group and rate of healing which was more rapid in the vacuum group. we conclude that vacuum dressing has good healing power and more effective than silver dressing in management of diabetic foot infection. It decreases time needed for wound healing and hospital stay better than silver dressing.

A well planned change management is crucial to ensure that change can be made to the entire organization and effectively implemented. Change management is widely known in the private sector, however, it is progressively rising in the public sector. Organizational change must be driven by a good leadership so that it is effectively and efficiently administered. This paper aimed to evaluate how prior researches had been dealing with change management in recent years taking in account of leadership styles of the managers. Well-known literatures will be discussed to outline the importance of effective leadership style for managing organizational change. The overall view from the past studies show that a good manager has the ability to drive the employees to accept change initiatives in the organization. The study recognize one of the factors to manage change in the organization that could be practically used to steer the top management, leading to corporate future direction in progressive society and vibrant economy , worth fully for further study.
Synthesizing skin lesion images using CycleGANs – a case study

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have seen some success as a way to synthesize training data for supervised machine learning models. In this work, we design two novel approaches for synthetic image generation based on CycleGANs, aimed at generating realistic-looking, class-speciﬁc dermoscopic skin lesion images. We evaluate the images’ usefulness as additional training data for a convolutional neural network trained to perform a difﬁcult lesion classiﬁcation task. We are able to generate visually striking images, but their value for augmenting the classiﬁer’s training data set is low. This is in-line with other researcher’s investigations into similar GAN models, indicating the need for further research into forcing GAN models to produce samples further from the training data distribution, and to ﬁnd ways of guiding the image generation using feedback from the ultimate classiﬁcation objective.
