Design of CMOS low-dropout voltage regulator for power management integrated circuit in 0.18-µm technology

A low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator is the main component used in the majority of portable electronic application since it is used as power management unit in those applications. In this paper, a LDO regulator for the power management integrated circuit in 0.18-µm CMOS technology using Cadence software is presented. The error amplifier of the proposed LDO employed seven transistors for current mirror. Meanwhile, the PMOS transistor is used as a pass element transistor to control the voltage variation. The resistors are used as a feedback network circuit while the capacitor is used to minimise the variation of output voltage. The simulation results show that the proposed design provides a 2.41 V constant output voltage for the supply voltage ranges of 2.55 V to 3.55 V. The dropout voltage of 140 mV is achieved with 1.48 mW power consumption. The line regulation is 1.0 mV/V and the load regulation is 0.41 mV/A, while the layout of the proposed regulator is 27 µm x 34 µm.

Modelling of the number of malarias suffers in Indonesia using Bayesian generalized linear models

Generalized Linear Models (GLM) has been used for modelling various types of data where the distribution of response variables is an exponential family. Common examples include those for binomial and Poisson response data. The GLM regression model determines the structure of the explanatory variable or covariate information, where the link function specifically determines the relationship between the regression model and the expected value of the observation. Bayesian techniques can now be applied to complex modelling problems where they could not have been applied previously. This method is a simpler model than traditional frequentist techniques. Estimating the regression model parameters is done by using Bayesian GLM. In this paper, we study conducted modelling for the number of dengue sufferers in Indonesia using the Bayesian GLM approach with several prior distributions. There are 6 independent variables that have a significant effect on the regression model, that is population density, Gini ratio, proper sanitation access, healthy zoning, integrated control and total sanitation. Based on Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and standard error, the Bayesian GLM estimation results for Cauchy and Normal prior distribution will converge to the same value as that obtained by GLM.
Breaking the Stigma of Health Insurance

The research has attempted to assess the effects of income tax benefits on adoptions of health insurance and on tax compliances. Following thematic literature review, four hypotheses have been set and following the cross-sectional research design through it have gathered data from 120 respondents chosen through stratified random sampling technique oscillated in four stratums. The significant inferential statistical results have indicated to nullify all the hypotheses and it has been documented that selective demographics and enhanced tax deductions are likely to motivate health insurance enrolments; and such tax deductions would increase tax compliances and reduce tax evasions.

Analysis of Android Malware Detection Techniques: A Systematic Review

The emergence and rapid development in complexity and popularity of Android mobile phones has created proportionate destructive effects from the world of cyber-attack. Android based device platform is experiencing great threats from different attack angles such as DoS, Botnets, phishing, social engineering, malware and others. Among these threats, malware attacks on android phones has become a daily occurrence. This is due to the fact that Android has millions of user, high computational abilities, popularity, and other essential attributes. These factors influence cybercriminals (especially malware writers) to focus on Android for financial gain, political interest, and revenge. This calls for effective techniques that could detect these malicious applications on android devices. The aim of this paper is to provide a systematic review of the malware detection techniques used for android devices. The results show that most detection techniques are not very effective to detect zero-day malware and other variants that deploy obfuscation to evade detection. The critical appraisal of the study identified some of the limitations in the detection techniques that need improvement for better detection.
Protocol for bacterial depletion of Aiptasia anemones - Towards the generation of gnotobiotic/germ-free cnidarian host animals v2

This protocol aims to obtain bacteria-depleted Aiptasia polyps. It is divided into 2 sections: (1) a rearing protocol composed of sterile food preparation and anemone priming and (2) a bacteria-depletion protocol for Aiptasia. This protocol aims to obtain bacteria-depleted Aiptasia polyps. Given that the Aiptasia life cycle is not closed yet under laboratory settings, we start with xenic adult anemones. The here-described protocol is divided into 2 sections: (1) a rearing protocol composed of sterile food preparation and anemone priming and (2) a bacteria-depletion protocol for Aiptasia. Therefore, it is vital to start a “priming batch” of adult anemones and to ensure that all sources of potential contamination (seawater and food) are devoid of bacteria during the priming step. The priming step will reduce the bacterial cargo in order to increase the success of the antibiotic treatment. Sterile food is obtained through decapsulation of Artemia cysts by hypochlorination and antibiotic treatment, adapted from (Sorgeloos et al., 1977). This process removes the outer layer of the cyst and decreases the hatching time, while also sterilizing it. Cysts are then de-hydrated for storage and re-hydrated for hatching
Pressão arterial em cães atendidos em uma clínica veterinária na cidade de Manaus, AM, Brasil

Different techniques allow a satisfactory diagnosis of blood pressure parameter in dogs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the blood pressure of dogs with two methods of measurement. The animals used were from routine care, regardless of the reason, a veterinary clinic in the city of Manaus. These were led to a separate room so they could stay between 10 to 15 minutes at rest until the beginning of the measurements. An aneroid sphygmomanometer and appropriate to the size of the animal associated with Doppler auscultation and a digital instrument, both for human use cuff was used. 49 animals were evaluated, 34 males and 15 females, 26 and 23 animals without defined race with one of the established breeds. Of the total, 43 animals showed blood pressure values within the average parameters expected to dogs as different authors. Only seven subjects had the changed parameter. The results were within normal limits and there was no significant difference between the results obtained by means of analog and digital devices, which may serve to support the measurement of blood pressure more quickly and easily when needed in veterinary clinical routine latter.
Effects of Biofeedback Training on the Suprahyoid Muscle Activity of Stroke with Swallowing Disorder

Purpose : The purpose of this study figures out how the biofeedback exercise combined with a Shaker exercise and a jaw-opening exercise affects the suprahyoid muscle activation of stroke with a swallowing disorder. Methods : The study period was from June, 2018 to September, 2018, to 45 patients who were suitable for selection criteria. Participants were divided into three groups: a visuoauditory biofeedback group (VABG), and a visual biofeedback group (VBG), and a self-exercise group (SG). The three groups were divided into the Shaker exercise and the jaw-opening exercise, and the biofeedback training by themselves. Three groups performed an intervention three times a day, five times a week, and four weeks long. Also, suprahyoid muscle activity was measured with a pre-test, a post-test and a follow-up test. Results : To know the suprahyoid muscle activity after the intervention, there were statistically significant differences between the pre-test and the post-intervention (p< .01). All three groups showed the improvement with the mean comparing followed by VABG, VBG and SG. Comparing between the posttest and the follow-up test, all three groups showed the reduction of suprahyoid muscle activity with the mean comparing, followed VABG, VBG and SG. Conclusion : It found that it was more effective when providing a double-sensory biofeedback than when training with a single-sensory biofeedback. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a multi-sensory input when applying the biofeedback in rehabilitation of the swallowing disorder.
Condition-Based Maintenance Model for the Optimization of Smart Manufacturing Processes

The research focused on the elaboration of the Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) for the optimization of Smart Manufacturing Processes (SMP) using three types of condition monitoring (CM). The paper presents some considerations regarding the Smart Manufacturing Processes (SMP), especially focused on the Additive Manufacturing (AM) process, by Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) technology and the way in which the CM and mathematical and probabilistic models can be used, for achieving CBM. The experiments focused on testing three different types of CM: vibration (by vibrometers), sound (by sound level meters) and temperature (by thermal camera and infrared thermography). The experiments and results were analysed, data were processed and a probabilistic model was designed, based on statistical methods, using features/key indicators and their thresholds values. Furthermore, a specific model based on Bayesian network was developed, for achieving CBM of the SMP, specifically to the AM/FDM process. This technique and approach can represent a successful integration of a large number of data monitoring sets and complex modelling and analysis capabilities which can lead in the end to an optimisation of the SMP.
Solving multi-objective master production schedule problem using memetic algorithm

A master production schedule (MPS) need find a good, perhaps optimal, plan for maximize service levels while minimizing inventory and resource usage. However, these are conflicting objectives and a tradeoff to reach acceptable values must be made. Therefore, several techniques have been proposed to perform optimization on production planning problems based on, for instance, linear and non-linear programming, dynamic-lot sizing and meta-heuristics. In particular, several meta- heuristics have been successfully used to solve MPS problems such as genetic algorithms (GA) and simulated annealing (SA). This paper proposes a memetic algorithm to solve multi-objective master production schedule (MOMPS). The proposed memetic algorithm combines the evolutionary operations of MA (such as mutation and Crossover) with local search operators (swap operator and inverse movement operator) to improve the solutions of MA and increase the diversity of the population). This algorithm has proved its efficiency in solving MOMPS problems compared with the genetic algorithm and simulated annealing. The results clearly showed the ability of the algorithm to evaluate properly how much, when and where extra capacities (overtime) are permitted so that the inventory can be lowered without influencing the level of service.

Compassionate Communities Project Evaluation Report

People facing death or experiencing loss, are a key group who, until very recently, were excluded from the health promotion discourse (Kellehear, 1999). This is despite the fact that a focus on health (as defined by maintaining a sense of wellbeing) is important for those facing the end of life (Kellehear, 1999). Milford Care Centre is the first and only specialist palliative care provider in Ireland to consider strategically and invest financially in the area of health promoting palliative care. In 2011 a pilot Compassionate Communities Project (CCP) commenced in North West Limerick City. An evaluation of this initial pilot, completed by an independent research consultant highlighted, the views of people toward death, dying, loss and care in North West Limerick City, summarised the structure of the pilot and outlined the main outcomes and recommendations for further development (Brereton, 2012). Following the evaluation of Phase One of the CCP, Milford Care Centre agreed that the pilot project would be extended for a further twelve months, taking the project to Phase Two (June 2012-May 2013). Phase Two of the pilot extends the project to the whole of Limerick City and to Newcastlewest, thus providing two geographic areas that are diverse in their both their location and population. Two part-time community development workers were appointed to the project, supported by a Project Advisory Committee, and managed by the Principal Social Worker. The aims of the CCP have remained consistent throughout Phase One and Two: “To enrich and support society to live compassionately with death, dying, loss and care and to demonstrate and evaluate the process of developing a compassionate community model in an Irish context. ”

Postpartum depression in an Indian community: more prevalent less addressed issue

Background: Postpartum depression is major health concern which not only has effect on maternal mortality and morbidity but also have effect on the cognitive and behavioral development of the child. Aims of the study was to study the prevalence of postpartum depression and its correlates. Methods: 100 women between 2 to 6 weeks of postpartum period were subjected to a pre-tested pre-structured standard questionnaire. Diagnosis of depression was made using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Possible depression is suggested by a score of 10 or greater; while values equal to 13 or more are invariably associated with depression. Results: The average age of the study group was 28.67±5.22 years and average duration of the post-partum period was 28.12±10.94 days. There was only one single parent in the study group; 77% were Hindus, 23% Muslims; 72% were housewives, while 22% were laborers. All subjects belonged to the low or middle socioeconomic groups. One-third of the subjects were illiterate. 93% had scores > 13 by use of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. 89% of the subjects had five or more contributory factors out of 21 contributory factors studied. The most common contributory factors were- child care stress, life stress, low self-esteem, low social support, infant temperament problems, low socioeconomic status, prenatal depression and prenatal anxiety. Conclusions: There is high prevalence of postpartum depression outskirts of Lucknow. Thus it appears pertinent to screen all women for postpartum depression after child-birth in this area so as to improve maternal and child health.
ARE THERE GENDER DIFFERENCES IN MANAGEMENT AND PROGNOSIS AFTER STROKE

In the literature gender differences in the pre-stroke condition, and management and outcome after strokes still are controversial. The mean age in the women with stroke is about 4-5 years older than in men and women are also more likely to suffer from a severe stroke. Several studies are focused on outcome and management after stroke. More studies are needed for elucidate the changes between stroke in men and women.
