Reliability of Image Capture Technique for the Measurement of Upper Limb Active Joint Position Sense in Healthy Adults

Objective: Proprioception is the conscious perception of limb position, motion, balance, and pressure. It has a vital role in movement control, especially motor planning and neuromuscular feedback mechanism. To investigate the proprioceptive function, it is essential to use the best measurement method. Different techniques and approaches have been introduced, which are usually expensive and not applicable for clinical use. One of these methods is the image capture technique which is easy and practical. Stillman introduced this technique to measure the joint position sense of the knee considering all variables affecting it and reported its good reliability. Many studies have used this technique for knee and lower limb joints and reported its good reliability, while few studies have used this technique for the upper limb joints. Therefore, this study investigates the reliability of the image capture technique for measuring the Active Joint Position Sense (AJPS) of the left shoulder and elbow in healthy adults. If it yields a good result, it can be used as an available and cost-effective method by clinicians. Materials & Methods: In this methodological study, the participants were 10 healthy adults (5 men, 5 women) aged 18-40 years. To assess the AJPS, we used image capture technology which is one of the most reliable methods for the lower limb joint position sense measurement. Markers were attached on elbow and shoulder landmarks, and photos were taken during the reproduction of angles by participants. Then, the photos were entered into AutoCAD software, and the angles were calculated by drawing line segments from landmarks and connecting them. The absolute error and relative error (the difference between the initial and reproduced angles) were used to measure accuracy. The AJPS was assessed for internal and external rotation of the shoulder and elbow flexion. The measurements were repeated two hours later to assess intra-day reliability and two days later to assess inter-day reliability. Interclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) were used for statistical analysis. Results: The ICC of inter-day reliability of the test for all shoulder and elbow movements in relative and absolute errors was reported as excellent (≥0.92). Intra-day reliability was reported excellent (≥0.90) for elbow flexion, and internal rotation of the shoulder in both relative and absolute errors were excellent (0.94). For external rotation of the shoulder, it was excellent in relative error (0.94) and good in absolute error (0.80). All measurements had absolute reliability based on the SEM results. Conclusion: The image capture technique is a simple, cost-effective, and available method tool for measuring AJPS and proprioception in upper limbs by clinicians and researchers.
Evaluation of Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin (I-PRF) with Bone graft around Immediate Dental Implant in Esthetic Zone

Purpose: Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin (I-PRF) is an efficient method in periodontal wound healing and regenerating bone; thus, the purpose of the current research was to assess radiographic and clinical of I-PRF around the immediate dental implant in the esthetic zone with xenograft. Material and methods: Twelve patients with unrestorable tooth/teeth in the esthetic zone were selected. Patients were selected randomly and split into two groups; Group I (test group; n = 6) patients that received immediate implant placement using I-PRF and xenograft and Group II (control group; n = 6) patients that established immediate implant placement with xenograft only. Clinically, the pain was evaluated for each patient by using the visual analog scale (VAS). Assessment of healing progress was conducted by modified gingival index (MGI)and modified plaque index (MPI) at 1st, 3rd, and 6th months after implant placement. Radiography, the assessment of osteointegration, can be conduct by bone density at 1stand 6th month after implant placement. Results: Regarding the change in both MPI and MGI, there was statistically a significant difference. The study group showed a higher Change than the control group. At 1,3 and 7 days, there was a statistically non-significant difference in mean VAS in the two groups P=0.18. Regarding Change in Bone Density, the study group showed a higher Change than the control group with a statistically significant difference(P=0.002). Conclusion: The use of I-PRF with immediate dental implant placement offers a new promising safe, compatible, and effective method for managing the healing process around immediate dental implants.

MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT DETERMINANTS APPRAISAL OF HOSPITAL BUILDINGS

This research examines the maintenance practice of hospital buildings in Malaysia. Recently, the increment of hospital buildings’ accidents has affected its performances as a result of determinants. However, the maintenance practice employed in the hospitals has a direct impact on the performance of hospital buildings. The fast-growing population of Malaysia necessitates proactiveness on the part of the government regarding the provision of efficient healthcare and ensuring the wellbeing of the citizenry. In this regard, the state of hospital buildings is inextricably linked to quality healthcare. This study evaluates the determinants that impair the quality of hospital buildings in Malaysia in order to improve their efficiency and preempt the avoidable building pitfalls through effective maintenance management. The survey questionnaire was used in order to achieve the objective of this study to users of hospital buildings, the outcomes sought after concerned building component issues such as finishes, cleanliness, aesthetics, ventilation and other determinants that affected the performance of the hospital buildings. The results showed that specific determinants including lighting, ventilation, fire alarms, fire extinguisher signage, floor conditions, lifts and quality of air depreciate the performance of hospital buildings. In addition, the procurement methods of maintenance work are completely outsourcing in hospitals and combinations of outsourcing and in-source methods in a private hospital. Moreover, the study found that the current methods of maintenance management adopted for hospital buildings remain typically corrective. This has always resulted in deprived user satisfaction, unproductive service delivery, and the prolongation of diverse maintenance problems.

Arginase, a Possible Therapeutic Target in Prostate Cancer

With increasing populations, the prevalence of prostate cancer increases. In the future, a significant public health crisis can be recognized in the present incidence of prostate cancer. In order to counter this, markers should be established for the advanced diagnosis and treatment of the illness prognosis. The cells dominate our immune system and grow into a detectable tumour, causing cancer. At this stage in the body, several processes are dominated, governed and deregulated by the tumour. In most cases, immune response undertakes measures by limiting the availability of Arginine. In this context it is fascinating to examine how the levels of Arginine fluctuate with the severity of the disease and the levels of Arginase and NO. Substances and methods: In 25 beginning phases and 25 advanced stage of the prostate cancer patients and compared to 25 healthy controls, 5 ml of the blood were taken and tested for serum levels of Arginina, and nitric oxide. A substantial reduction in arginine (p<0.001) found was detected. In Arginase and levels a substantial increase (p<0.001) was detected. Conclusion: Increased Arginase levels are linked to the illness progression and the result lowers as Arginase uses most phases. Therefore, Arginase inhibition can be promising therapeutic target in prostate cancer.

MDA Framework Approach for Gamification-Based Elementary Mathematics Learning Design

Mathematics is currently one of the compulsory subjects taught in schools and the most difficult subject. By using the MDA Framework approach based on gamification, a visual game of building space was designed. The MDA Framework consists of mechanics, namely certain rules which will then generate dynamics which are the result of the interaction of mechanics with players which will then automatically create aesthetics or player responses. From the design results, it is known that the visual game of building space has followed the stages in the MDA framework and has achieved its goal, namely to provide a learning process about the volume of space building
Yield and Some Quality Properties of Binary Alfalfa-Grass Mixtures in Different Mixture Ratios

The aim of this investigation was to determine appropriate perennial grasses and their most suitable mixture ratios, which can be grown with alfalfa in binary mixtures. The research was conducted during 2009-2011 in Isparta (37.50 °N, 30.32 °E), located in the Western Mediterranean climate conditions. In the study, alfalfa was planted as a binary mixture with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.), meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.), and smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.) in a randomized block design with three replications. Sowing ratios of alfalfa in the mixtures varied 20, 30, and 40%, and grass species ratios were 80, 70, and 60%. In the study, significant differences were found among the applications regarding hay yield, crude protein content, crude protein yield, NDF, ADF, land equivalent ratio (LER), and grass ratio in the hay (GR). The highest hay yield was obtained from alfalfa + orchardgrass and alfalfa + smooth bromegrass binary mixtures (25.98 and 25.78 t ha-1, respectively). Alfalfa + perennial ryegrass and alfalfa + meadow fescue mixtures gave the highest crude protein contents as 14.93 and 14.80%, respectively. The highest LER values were observed on perennial ryegrass and smooth bromegrass binary mixtures, and the highest grass ratios were determined in orchardgrass and smooth bromegrass mixtures made with alfalfa. Increasing the alfalfa sowing ratio in the mixtures positively affected all quality characteristics such as crude protein, NDF, and ADF. It was concluded that orchardgrass and smooth bromegrass binary mixtures with alfalfa produced high yield and quality hay and that the mixture should contain 40% alfalfa and 60% grass.
Retinal Blood Vessel Segmentation on Style-augmented Images

The average human lifespan increased dramatically in the second half of 20th century. It was mainly due to technological improvements, which were driven by the continuous war preparations, and while humans have got another 20 years to live, unfortunately there are some sad side effects added to the elderly life. Various diseases can attack the eye, our major organ responsible for receiving information, therefore many researches were devoted to examine these diseases, their early signs, and how could they be stopped. From the start of 21th century, methods aided by computer were more and more involved in these processes, up to the current trend of using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). While supervised methods, CNNs do achieve accuracy which can be compared to a skilled ophtalmologist, they require a tremendous amount of labeled data which is sparse in medical fields because the amount of time and resources needed to create them. One natural solution is to augment the data present, that is, copying the distribution while adding a small variety, like coloring an image differently. That is, what our paper aims to explore, whether a texturing algorithm, the Neural Style Transfery can be used to make a data set richer, and therefore helping a classifier CNN to achieve better results.
Partial Wetting of Root Zone to Enhance Furrow Irrigation Indices, Yield Responses and Economic Return Of Soybean الترطيب الجزئى لمنطقة الجذور لتحسين مؤشرات الرى بالخطوط واستجابة المحصول والعائد الاقتصادي لفول الصويا

This study was carried out in a private farm located in Gharbiya Governorate, the Nile Delta, Egypt. The study aimed to assess how far the alternative furrow application and deficit irrigation may improve irrigation indices and water productivity of Soybean. Two techniques of alternation were applied. The first is Standing Alternate furrow Irrigation (SAI), the second is Reciprocal Alternate furrow Irrigation (RAI). The two techniques were compared with Conventional furrow Irrigation (CI), at which, all furrows are conventionally irrigated per each irrigation (Control). Results revealed that irrigation requirements under both of (SAI) and (RAI) techniques s are significantly less than that with (CI). Surface runoff increased as the level of application increased. The significant difference was found only between (RAI) with the level of 50 % Etc. and the treatment of (CI) with the level of 100% Etc. The highest value of (Ea) was achieved with (RAI) and 75% ETc irrigation level while the lowest value was found with (CI) and 100% ETc irrigation level. The lowest values of actual ET were found (RAI) and 50% ETc irrigation level. Also, results indicated that produced yield of soybean varied significantly (P<0.05) and influenced by both irrigation techniques and application levels. Yield of soybean was depressed by about 12% under (SAI) with 50% ETc, compared with the treatment of (CI) and 100% ETc. It could be concluded that, the (RAI) and 75% ETc irrigation level is efficient management for soybean production without the risk of reduced grain yield under the experiment conditions.
Customers’ satisfaction assessment in water laboratories

In the literature, several definitions of quality can be found in the context of organizations. However, all of them are related to customer satisfaction with the products or services offered by companies. Thus, organizations are increasingly committed to meet customers’ requests, aiming to promote high levels of satisfaction. This study aims to evaluate the levels of satisfaction of water laboratory customers and to establish a predictive model for customers’ satisfaction assessment. To achieve this goal, artificial intelligence methods have been used. A questionnaire was used to collect data and applied to a cohort including 253 customers. The results showed most of the customers rating the global performance of the laboratory as positive. However, this study revealed that clarity of answers to customers’ questions, reliability of the results, and presentation of analytical results contributed most to customers’ dissatisfaction. The model presented in this study, based on artificial neural networks, exhibited good performance in the prediction of the customers’ satisfaction and contributed to establish improvement measures to promote their satisfaction.

Ordering and Phase Control in Epitaxial Double-Perovskite Catalysts for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

The complex oxide compound praseodymium barium cobalt oxide (PBCO) is an efficient catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) during electrochemical water splitting, with an activity that is mainly ascribed to PBCO’s inherent atomic structure and band alignment. Here, we report on epitaxial PBCO thin films showing electrocatalytic properties, with current densities of up to 10 mA/cm2 at 1.8V vs. RHE. Dense PBCO thin films are synthesized in a disordered perovskite phase as well as in an coherently oxygen vacancy-ordered (double-)perovskite phase, in which oxygen vacancies are incorporated in every second CoO2-δ atomic plane along the out-of-plane direction. The transition from disordered to ordered growth occurs temperature-controlled during the growth process and can be directly monitored in-situ by means of reflection high-energy electron diffraction. The epitaxial fabrication process allows the control of structure and phase of the oxide catalysts, providing model systems for exploring structure-.
