Paper ini bertujuan untuk melihat dampak yang ditimbulkan adanya kebijakan pengenaan tarif pada sektor pertanian di Indonesia. Model GTAP diimplementasikan untuk melihat dampak yang ditimbulkan pada PDB, neraca perdagangan, kesejahteraan, terms of trade, nilai impor, nilai ekspor, pola perdagangan dunia, dan perubahan pada sektor tenaga kerja di Indonesia. Hasil simulasi kebijakan menjelaskan bahwa adanya pengenaan tarif impor sebesar 7,5% dapat meningkatkan PDB, neraca perdagangan, kesejahteraan, dan terms of trade. Hasil simulasi dengan pengenaan tarif sebesar 0% juga menjelaskan bahwa nilai impor, nilai ekspor, perdagangan dunia, dan perubahan pada sektor tenaga kerja memiliki dampak positif terhadap sektor pertanian. Disimpulkan bahwa kebijakan tarif yang diambil tergantung pada tujuan utama yang ingin diperoleh oleh suatu negara.
Levobupivacaine inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis of breast cancer cells through PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling pathway.

Objective This study aimed to test the hypothesis that levobupivacaine has anti-tumour effects on breast cancer cells Results Colony formation and transwell assay were used to determine breast cancer cells proliferation, whereas flow Cytometry (annexin V and PI staining) was used to investigate breast cancer cells apoptosis. The effects of levobupivacaine on cellular signalling and molecular response were studied with Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) and western blot. Induction of apoptosis was confirmed by cell viability, morphological changes showed cell shrinkage, rounding, and detachments from plates. The results of the western blot and qPCR indicated activation of Caspase-3 and inhibition of FOXO1. The results of the flow Cytometry confirmed that levobupivacaine inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation and enhanced apoptosis of breast cancer cells. Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction and Western blot analysis showed increased p21 and decreased cyclin D. However, the qPCR and western blot analysis showed that levobupivacaine significantly increased Bax expression, accompanied by a significant decreased Bcl₂ expression and inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling pathway. These findings suggested that levobupivacaine inhibits proliferation and promotes breast cancer cells apoptosis in vitro.
Improving Birth Preparedness and Complication Readiness Through an Integrated Microfinance and Health Literacy Program:Evidence From Rural India

Background:Despite maternal mortality rate almost halving over the past two decades, approximately 295,000 deaths occurred annually in 2017 globally. They occur in high burden regions where most preventable deaths are precipitated by delays in maternal care provision. Recently, a novel rapidly scalable community-based program combining maternal health literacy delivery through microfinance-based women-only self-help groups (SHG) was implemented in rural India. We evaluated the impact of the IMFHL program on BPCR practice by women in one of India’s poorest states-Uttar Pradesh, adjusting for community, household and individual variables. We also investigated if there is a diffusion of knowledge of BPCR from SHG members receiving the health literacy intervention to non-members in program villages.Method: Using secondary survey data from the IMFHL project, we analysed data from 17,244 women across SHG and non-member households in Uttar Pradesh. We performed multivariable logistic regressions to estimate adjusted IMFHL program’s effects on maternal BPCR practice.Results: Membership in SHG alone is positively associated with BPCR practice with 17 percent higher odds compared to women in villages without the programs. Furthermore, the odds of practising complete BPCR increases by almost fifty percent when a maternal health literacy component is added to the SHGs. A diffusion effect was found for BPCR practice from SHG members to non-members only when an added health literacy component was integrated into the SHG model. The main effect of the IMFHL program on BPCR practice remained stable in the presence of confounders suggesting that the delivery of health messages is undiluted by other non-programmatic factors at the individual, household and community level. Among confounders, only the poorest households as captured by the wealth quintile were significantly negatively associated with BPCR practice.Conclusion: The public health literature promotes the adoption of BPCR practices to improve maternal health outcomes. This study shows that SHGs exert both a dissemination effect of planned health behaviour within members, as well as facilitate a diffusion effect of the natural transfer of BPCR from members to non-members when SHGs are enriched with a health literacy component
Influence of magnetic field on chemically reactive blood flow through stenosed bifurcated arteries

Dynamic response of mass transfer in chemically reactive blood flow through bifurcated arteries under the stenotic condition is numerically studied in the present of a uniform magnetic field. The blood flowing through the artery is assumed an incompressible, fully developed and Newtonian. The nonlinear unsteady flow phenomena are governed by the Navier-Stokes and concentration equations. All these equations together with the appropriate boundary conditions describing the present biomechanical problem are transformed by using a radial transformation and the numerical results are obtained using a finite difference technique. Effects of stenosed bifurcation and externally applied magnetic field on the blood flow with chemical reaction are discussed with the help of graph. All the flow characteristics are found to be affected by the presence of chemical reaction and exposure of magnetic field of different intensities. Finally some important findings of the problem are concluded in this work.
Did the 2019 One and Half-Month Boot Camp Training Enhance Rwanda Development Board (RDB) Interns’ English Proficiency?

Employers in Rwanda have been expressing their dissatisfaction with university graduates’ low English proficiency affirming that it hindered their performance at work. Rwanda Development Board (RDB) also noticed that the English proficiency and work readiness skills of university graduates on internship in 2019 left a lot to be desired, which was an impediment to the completion of the internship and to the development of their professional skills. To enhance these graduates’ communication and work readiness skills, the Rwandan Government, through RDB, sent them to a one and half-month employability boot camp at the University of Rwanda. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating factors that hindered these interns’ development of English proficiency and at exploring whether the course helped improve their skills in this language. For the sake of validity and reliability, both qualitative and quantitative research paradigms were applied to collect and analyse the research data. Themes emerging from classroom observations and interviews were analysed inductively and figures used to interpret the trainees’ results in the entry and exit English proficiency tests. Research findings revealed that unfavorable linguistic environment, teachers limited English proficiency, and regular shifts in the medium of instruction were major impediments to the trainees' improvement of English proficiency. Findings also disclosed that the training had helped the majority of participants boost the four language macro modalities, but that more time was required for slow learners. In agreement with the findings, some recommendations were made on how to effectively support Rwandan students’ learning of English.
Spectroscopic Studies in UV region of Different Purified Isoforms of Testosterone Receptors in Human Ovarian Tumor Homogenates.

The aim of this study is to characterize the testosterone receptors spectrophotometrically in ovarian tissue homogenates of patients with benign and malignant ovarian tumors. Two groups of ovarian tumor patients were included in this study . Group I contained 31 patients with benign ovarian tumor . Group II consisted of 18 patients with ovarian cancer.Spectroscopic characterization in the UV region was carried out on purified testosterone receptors in human ovarian tumors and the effects of pH and polarity on the spectra were also studied.Spectrophotometric pH titration and several spectral changes were obtained in the presence of different polar and non-polar solvents, like the alteration of max position and intensities of protein spectrum, and the appearance of new chromophores on the surface of protein molecule . These chromophores where embedded in an interior region of the protein in the absence of the solvent. The difference in pH and polarity of the solvents is very important thing to characterize the protein molecules spectrophotometrially because they change the positions and values of molecules λmax in the UV region.
Cell-type composition analysis of scRNA-seq data with deep convolution neural network

BackgroundWith the rapid development of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), more large-scale single-cell sequencing data has been generated. Due to the continuous increase of single-cell sequencing data, the analysis of cell-type composition from single-cell transcriptomics has also to face huge challenges. Since the emergence of scRNA-seq technology, the size of sequencing datasets has grown more than 1 million times in just over a decade. Meanwhile, as more gene markers are discovered, the data dimension of single-cell sequencing becomes higher. All of these put forward more stringent requirements on data dimensionality reduction and clustering algorithms. Under the constraints of practical factors such as occurrence of noise and dropouts and the limitation of overhead, it is also required an effective and effcient method that can obtain accurate analysis results in a very short time, and has a competitive algorithm stability.ResultsWe present scCAE, an effective and effcient method based on convolution autoencoder that can accurately and rapidly analyze cell-type composition from single-cell transcriptomics datasets. Our method achieved the best results in the data sets that simulate the cell differentiation process among existing methods, which achieved the ARI of 69.64% and 68.83% at 10 and 25 clusters tasks. And, in the case of different dropouts, our method also works well. When the sparsity level of data metric is 71%, scCAE can achieved the ARI of 45.29%, which is the highest of the existing methods. In terms of algorithm overhead, our method has also achieved good results by comparing with several existing methods. It takes less time than most methods and takes up much less memory than other algorithms based neural networks.ConclusionsOur method, scCAE, has more accurate and reasonable results in the analysis of cell-types composition. And, because of the design of imputer, it can deal with a large number of dropouts in the data matrix. Because of the structure of convolution network, scCAE has less time and space overhead than other deep-learning-based methods. Thus, we demonstrate that scCAE is a competitive method for analysis of cell-type composition from scRNA-seq data. We expect that our study can be a stepping stone for further prosperity of single-cell transcriptomics analysis.
The importance of Self-efficacy and Resilience in the Learning Style of the University Student

The present research aims to identify the attributes that integrate learning styles with positive psychological functioning. The methodological value is explained from the application of two standardized tests with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.89, made up of 102 variables in total; For this, an instrument composed of the self-efficacy section of the Schmeck learning styles inventory and the second the Merino positive psychological functioning scale was developed. I surveyed a total of 133 subjects. The statistical analyzes processed included the reliability and internal consistency test of the instrument; the selection of significant variables; descriptive analysis, measures of central tendency and variability; comparative analysis with Student's t test for independent samples, Pearson's correlation, integrational analysis from factorial and finally regression analysis. From the statistical results, it is highlighted that those students who lack a developed resilient ability have difficulty being selfeffective with respect to academic activities. Likewise, students who adequately reconcile their work, social and personal life, have high self-esteem, are creative, which allows them to be resilient and self-effective.

Recent results of PHOENIX V2 and new prospects with PHOENIX V3

The 18 GHz PHOENIX V2 ECRIS is running since 2010 on the heavy ion low energy beam transport line (LEBT) of SPIRAL2 installed at LPSC Grenoble. PHOENIX V2 will be the starting ion source of SPIRAL 2 at GANIL. The status and future developments of this source are presented in this paper. Recent studies with Oxygen and Argon beams at 60 kV have demonstrated reliable operation at 1.3 emA of O and 200 eμA of Ar. Metallic ion beam production has been studied with the Large Capacity Oven (LCO) developed by GANIL and 20 eμA of Ni have been obtained. In order to improve further the beam intensities for SPIRAL2, an economical upgrade of the source named PHOENIX V3 has been recently approved by the project management. The goal is to double the plasma chamber volume from 0.6 to 1.2 liter by increasing the chamber wall radius, keeping the whole magnetic confinement intensity unchanged. The PHOENIX V3 magnetic design is presented along with a status of the project. PHOENIX V2 RECENT RESULTS The PHOENIX V2 source is an evolution of the former PHOENIX V1 source used to study intense pulsed afterglow Lead beams for the LHC [1,2,3]. Major improvement of V2 with respect to V1 are a higher voltage withstanding (60 kV) and a higher radial magnetic confinement (1.35 T instead of 1.2 T at plasma chamber wall); the drawback being a lower chamber volume (0.7 liter instead of 1.2). Information on the 3 PHOENIX version layout is reported in the next section for completion. PHOENIX V2 was installed at LPSC on the SPIRAL2 LEBT from December 2009 until June 2012 and allowed the successful beam line commissioning. Production tests of A/Q=3 beams have been performed with gas and metals in collaboration with IPNL and GANIL. The table 1 summarizes the results obtained. The beam results increased recently by 30% after the discovery and the fixing of a wrong mechanical part machining in the plasma chamber water flow circuit. Once fixed, the water flow reached its nominal value and the source immediately accepted much more RF power to produce further high charge states ions. The Fig. 1 presents a Ni spectrum obtained with the GANIL LCO. [4] The Ni consumption was 0.2 mg/h and beam featured stable behaviour for several hours. One should note the excellent charge state distribution peaked on the 19+ which was unexpected for such a compact source. The 20 μA Ni was obtained at the upper LCO operation temperature and no intensity saturation was observed. So a higher Ni current should be reached with 2 ovens set in parallel or a larger oven. Unfortunately, the 32 mm source radius is too small to allow this. The key to understand this high charge state distribution is likely the pressure decrease in the plasma chamber induced by the Ni vapor (Getter effect). Indeed, the plasma chamber is only pumped through the plasma electrode. The vapor to ion yield was measured to be ~10%. The LCO is located off axis with an angle that optimizes the vapor solid angle intersection through the ECR plasma. Table 1: Intensities Produced by PHOENIX V2 Ion Charge state Intensity [μA]
Game Theory-Based Planning of Nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks for Optimum Coverage With Maximum Battery Life

Maximize the coverage is one of the important aspects, in designing the wireless sensor network. One should aim at a nearly optimum coverage rate without reducing the life span of the network. Numerous solutions were suggested for this from which most try to select the least number of nodes as active, while the others remain in the sleep mode to save energy. This approach extends the life span of the network also. Nevertheless, these methods suffer from a lack of mathematical bases for the initial seed node choice in selecting active nodes. In this manuscript, a distributed method is suggested to address the challenge of maximum coverage with maximum network life. The exploitation of the game theory as a mathematical basis for the choice of active nodes is demonstrated in the current manuscript. The basis of the game theory in node planning, is node compete with each other to become active. Node tries to avoid coverage redundancy using the costs of the activation. This cost use number of the active neighbors and the uncovered area. The comparison of the simulation results with the results of the actual network deployed with nodeMCUs is done. We found that the network lifetimes almost doubles from 52 Hours to 98 hours with actual deployment on two nodeMCUs. The suggested method works well for maximum coverage, life span, and energy efficiency. The proposed method also causes a reduction in the redundancy rate.
Comparison of muscle activation of the transversus abdominis and muscle strength between individuals with low back pain, herniated disc and healthy individuals: a cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND: Low back pain and disc herniation are common problems in the world population, being characterized by discomfort in the region of the spine, resulting in functional capacity and quality of life reduced. Some of the causes of these conditions seem to be associated with the biomechanical imbalance of the muscles that act in the spine. There are methods to assess the level of activation and strength of the stabilizing muscles of the spine, such as the Pressure Biofeedback Unit (PBU). This study aims to compare the level of activation of the transverse abdomen muscle and back strength in healthy, low back pain and herniated disc individuals. METHODOS: a cross-sectional study was carried out with 30 men that were homogeneously distributed in three groups: healthy (HG), with low back pain (LBPG) and with herniated disc (HDG). The primary outcomes were the level of activation of the transversus abdominis, assessed by PBU, and back strength, assessed by dynamometry. Pain, flexibility and disability were evaluated as secondary outcomes.RESULTS: The mean age of the participants in this study was 30.47 ± 9.74 years. Regarding the activation of the transversus abdominis, no differences were found between groups (p = 0.155). For strength, LBPG and HDG were different compared to HG (p = 0.028 and p = 0.045, respectively). Pain was different between the HG and both LBPG and HDG (all p < 0.001). Regarding flexibility, no differences (p > 0.05) were found. The HDG had the highest disability score and was statistically different of the HG (p = 0.005), but with no difference from LBPG (p = 0.087). CONCLUSION: the activation of the tranversus abdominis is similar between healthy, non-specific back pain and herniated disc individuals; however, the latter presents a reduced level of strength and more disability.
Housing poverty in developing countries: Challenges and implications for decent accommodation in Swedru, Ghana

Adequate supply of housing remains a challenge in developing countries. This article assesses the extent of housing poverty in developing countries and its implication for decent accommodation 1 in Swedru, Ghana. Using a cross-sectional survey design coupled with stratified and systematic sampling techniques, 1,161 household participants were selected. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect raw data from 496 houses in 16 neighbourhoods in the Swedru Township, Ghana. Findings showed that the vast majority of houses in the Swedru Township share common housing facilities such as bathroom and lavatory. This has compelled some households to resort to bathing in open spaces, while practising free range especially in the morning where households have to queue about extent house adequate space, for bathing and using the toilet facility. A room occupancy rate of 5.51 indicates that households are congested and a population of 4,603 accommodated in 496 housing units is evident. It was revealed that the high level of non-decent accommodation in the municipality is attributable to ill-enforcement of building laws that has allowed houseowners to supply housing without lavatories with impunity. Hence, effective implementation of the L.I. 1630 was recommended.
