A protocol for systematic review and meta analysis

Background: Malnutrition is a clinical problem with a high prevalence in hospitalized adult patients. Many nutritional screening tools have been developed but there is no consensus on which 1 is more useful. The purpose of this review protocol is to provide an overview of which nutritional screening tool is most valid to identify malnutritional risk in hospitalized adult patients and to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of the different tools. Methods: The protocol of this systematic review and meta-analysis was registered on the INPLASY website (https://inplasy.com/ inplasy-2020-9-0028/) and INPLASY registration number is INPLASY202090028. We will perform a systematic literature search of main databases: PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL and Web of Science and the Cochrane database. Also, grey literature will be search. Peer-reviewed studies published in English, Portuguese or Spanish language will be selected. Screening of titles, abstract and full text will be assessed for eligibility by 2 independent blinded reviewers and any discrepancies will be resolved via consensus. After screening the studies, a meta-analysis will be conducted, if it is possible. Results: Results from this systematic review will help health professionals to identify malnutrition in hospitalized patients and to make decisions to prevent or treat it as well as provide new clues to researchers. Conclusion: Our systematic review will provide aknowledge about the most valid malnutrition risk screening tool in hospitalized adult patients. Abbreviations: BMI = body mass index, CI = confidence interval, LH = likelihood ratio, NPV = negative predictive value, PPV = positive predictive value.
Operational, user and legal requirements across eu member states for roadside drug testing equipment within the eu project rosita

To gain a representative overview of their legal, user and operational requirements concerning Driving under the Influence of Drugs (DUID), within the EU project ROSITA a questionnaire was designed and distributed to 21 European countries (15 EU countries, 6 not-EU countries) to be answered by forensic experts with the help of suitable representatives of the police force according to each country. In total, 26 completed questionnaires from 19 different countries were returned. Results: Legal provisions on DUID are in force in all 19 countries, but drug test devices are used in police routine very rarely; in few countries the application is prohibited by regulations, but as main reasons for non-use their low level of validation or unavailability were given. The preferred drug test configuration is a single-use, multi-parameter test, which is able to provide a clear, unambiguous test result on cannabis, benzodiazepines, amphetamines, cocaine, opiates within 5 minutes. Preferred test specimen for roadside testing is saliva, due to its good availability, the low invasiveness of sampling and the good correlation with impairment. Sweat was considered as an acceptable alternative to saliva. For the covering abstract see ITRD E106992.
Scheduling modern elevators : A comparison of the two algorithms FSO and FS4

Two of the most common elevator algorithms, FS4 and FSO, are discussed in this thesis. Their pros and cons regarding passenger waiting time and energy consumption are compared to find which of the algorithms perform best and what factors affect this. These topics are of interest for owners of modern building.By developing a simulation program the behavior of elevators controlled by these algorithms were simulated. Passenger pattern in the simulation was meant to emulate the pattern that occurs in office buildings at lunch hour.The conclusion is that due to differences in sector usage and specific rules for each algorithm they have different strengths concerning waiting time and energy consumption, but overall the FS4 is the stronger choice.

The Impact of Restaurant Atmospherics Towards Restaurant Patrons’ Behavioral Intention in Southern Province of Sri Lanka

This study investigated the impact of atmospherics on the behavioral intention of restaurant patrons in Galle and Matara Districts in Southern Province of Sri Lanka. Based on the review of extensive literature pertaining to the store atmospherics, researchers examined four store atmospheric variables as exterior, general interior and decorations, human variable (employees) and layout & design. The data were collected over Mall Intercept Survey technique by randomly administering structured questionnaires to 300 respondents in Galle and Matara districts. First ANOVA test was performed to measure the fitness of the model and simple regression analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of atmospheric variables on behavioral intention. The results of the regression analysis indicated that restaurant atmospherics have an impact on behavioral intention of restaurant patrons. Moreover, it indicated that interior atmospheric variable (Cleanliness, Lighting, Foods/Beverages) was the most significant atmospheric variable which determine the behavioral intention in restaurant industry.
IT'S NOT JUST HOURS OF WORK; ASK THE DRIVERS

This paper describes findings from research into the working conditions of long distance truck drivers in Western Australia. Increasing national and international attention is being paid to the management of fatigue amongst all classes of drivers, especially truck, as fatigue has been recognised as a serious road hazard and conditions of work have been shown to be related to the incidence of fatigue. The survey showed that about 38 percent of truck drivers exceeded 14 hours of driving in a work day, and 51 percent exceeded 14 hours of work (including non-driving work). About 5 percent of drivers reported having not slept and 7.5 percent reported less than 4 hours of sleep on at least one work day of the preceding 7 days. In aggregate, about 30 percent of drivers obtained less than 6 hours of sleep on at least one working day. Segmentation modelling revealed that measures of sleep were the best predictors of involvement in hazardous incidents while driving, frequency of nodding off, and alcohol use. They were also important predictors for frequency of near misses and drug use. Though these data suffer from the problems that are associated with self report, they are consistent with a small number of studies which suggest duration of sleep per se is a good predictor of potentially hazardous events and behaviours in the driving environment.

Determination of Metals in Walnut Oils by Means of an Optimized and Validated ICP-AES Method in Conventional and Organic Farming Type Samples

Agricultural products are indispensable for equilibrated diets since they discharge minerals and several bioactive constituents. Considering the increasing demand for organic products, research has been conducted over recent years to investigate whether organically grown food products are chemically different compared to those produced with conventional farming. In this work, a novel inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometric method was developed and validated for the determination of nutrient and toxic elements in walnut oils produced with conventional and organic farming. The method presented good linearity (r2 > 0.9990) for each element at the selected emission line. The limits of detection and limits of quantification ranged between 0.09 μg g−1 to 2.43 μg g−1 and 0.28 μg g−1 to 8.1 μg g−1, respectively. Method accuracy and was assessed by analyzing the certified reference materials BCR 278-R and spiked walnut oil samples. The determined metals were quantified, and the results were analyzed by Student’s t-test to investigate the differences in the elemental profile of the walnut oils according to type of farming (conventional or organic).
Genistein, daidzein, and resveratrols stimulate PGC‐1β‐mediated gene expression

PGC‐1β is a transcriptional co‐activator of nuclear receptors such as the estrogen receptor‐related receptor (ERR). Transgenic overexpression of PGC‐1β in mice increases energy expenditure and suppresses high‐fat diet‐induced obesity. In this study, we screened various food‐derived and natural compounds using a reporter assay system to measure the transcriptional activity of PGC‐1β. Soy‐derived isoflavones, genistein and daidzein, and several resveratrols activated PGC‐1β. Genistein, daidzein, and trans‐oxyresveratrol activated ERR‐responsive element‐mediated reporter activity in the presence of PGC‐1β. Stable overexpression of PGC‐1β in C2C12 myoblasts increased the expression of medium‐chain acyl‐CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD), an important enzyme in fatty acid β‐oxidation. Genistein and daidzein increased MCAD mRNA levels and mitochondrial content in PGC‐1β‐expressing C2C12 cells. These compounds activated ERR/PGC‐1β complex‐mediated gene expression, and our findings may be a practical foundation for developing functional foods targeting obesity.

GOING OFF THE RAILS

This article investigates why plans for an improved public transport system in Leeds were unable to progress during 1989. West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Authority had plans for light rail, Leeds City Council wanted the automated rubber-tyred Briway people-mover system, and the Yorkshire Rider bus company proposed guided buses. In an attempt to resolve this situation of conflicting proposals, a joint Passenger Transport Executive/Leeds City Council working group was set up. Instead of examining routes, it is looking at the transport needs for Leeds as a whole, with a range of solutions which may vary from area to area. It aims to produce clear proposals by the beginning of 1991, for public consultation, and to submit a Bill to the British Parliament in November 1991. Light rail will remain a strong option, because of low cost, adaptability and proven technology. The Briway technology has not yet been proved in revenue service, although it has been tested for more than a year. Guided buses can be implemented quickly, with immediate benefits from short sections of guideway at key congestion points. The working group seeks an economically priced, politically acceptable solution to Leeds' transport problems.
Typical Facial Expression Network Using a Facial Feature Decoupler and Spatial-Temporal Learning

Facial expression recognition (FER) accuracy is often affected by an individual’s unique facial characteristics. Recognition performance can be improved if the influence from these physical characteristics is minimized. Using video instead of single image for FER provides better results but requires extracting temporal features and the spatial structure of facial expressions in an integrated manner. We propose a new network called Typical Facial Expression Network (TFEN) to address both challenges. TFEN uses two deep two-dimensional (2D) convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to extract facial and expression features from input video. A facial feature decoupler decouples facial features from expression features to minimize the influence from inter-subject face variations. These networks combine with a 3D CNN and form a spatial-temporal learning network to jointly explore the spatial-temporal features in a video. A facial recognition network works as an adversarial network to refine the facial feature decoupler and the network performance by minimizing the residual influence of facial features after decoupling. The whole network is trained with an adversarial algorithm to improve FER performance. TFEN was evaluated on four popular dynamic FER datasets. Experimental results show TFEN achieves or outperforms the recognition accuracy of state-of-the-art approaches.

Autonomous Formation Flight

NASA's Strategic Plan for the Aerospace Technology Enterprise includes ambitious objectives focused on affordable air travel, reduced emissions, and expanded aviation-system capacity. NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, in cooperation with NASA Ames Research Center, the Boeing Company, and the University of California, Los Angeles, has embarked on an autonomous-formation-flight project that promises to make significant strides towards these goals. For millions of years, birds have taken advantage of the aerodynamic benefit of flying in formation. The traditional "V" formation flown by many species of birds (including gulls, pelicans, and geese) enables each of the trailing birds to fly in the upwash flow field that exists just outboard of the bird immediately ahead in the formation. The result for each trailing bird is a decrease in induced drag and thus a reduction in the energy needed to maintain a given speed. Hence, for migratory birds, formation flight extends the range of the system of birds over the range of birds flying solo. The Autonomous Formation Flight (AFF) Project is seeking to extend this symbiotic relationship to aircraft.
DESIGNING SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS FOR ACCESS. PART I OF II: REVIEW OF EXISTING GUIDELINES AND PRACTICES

People with disabilities make up nearly one-fifth of the population of this country. Their access to public facilities, such as schools, commercial and recreation areas and government offices, is often very limited. This report focuses on how sidewalks and trails can be made accessible and usable by the widest possible segment of the population. Sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration, a project to research existing conditions on sidewalks and trails for people with disabilities was designed in two parts. Part I, covers literature surveys, site surveys and interviews along with the history of accessibility legislation, travel characteristics of the disabled and engineering and construction design practices. Topics include: Disability Rights Legislation, Characteristics of Pedestrians, Planning Processes, Sidewalk Design Guidelines, and Trail Designs.
Deep Residual Learning for Image Classification using Cross Validation

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are very common now especially in the image classification tasks as CNN’s have better classification accuracy than other techniques available in image classification. Another type of CNN called as Residual Neural Networks (RESNET) are gaining popularity because of better accuracy than normal CNN because of residual block available in it. In the present article the RESNET architecture is used for image classification on CIFAR-10 dataset using cross-validation approach that reflects a consistently better accuracy on the above dataset.
Customer Satisfaction towards Online Shopping

Online shopping is the biggest part of customer attraction as well as customer satisfaction. In today’s technology environment, most businesses rely on internet purchasing to both please their consumers and attract new ones. The effects of online shopping on improving customer satisfaction are the subject of this study report. The study also sought to determine the effects of online shopping on improving customer satisfaction in retail establishments. The research tasks entailed an ethical construction of a questionnaire keeping in view the research topic and tasks at hand. The construction of the survey was done keeping multiple touch points in consideration. Extensive research was done to identify the most prominent issues in the realm of online shopping. The survey was constructed based on these observations and was then circulated to a group of 100 respondents of varying ages, genders, and from different physical locations. Likert scales were used to gather experience-based data from all respondents. After being working on the research, we have come to learn that customer satisfaction plays a vital role in how the choices of people to shop online. Websites offering online shopping must have good customer services and user-friendly applications or websites to be easily accessible to the public and therefore making them prefer online shopping over in-person shopping. The study also revealed that online shopping has a variety of consequences (age and gender) and according to the analysis, online shopping assists in good quality, access, and comfort, resulting in increased customer satisfaction.
Magnitude of virologic failure and associated factors among adult patients on antiretroviral therapy at Debre Markos Referral Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia, 2018

Background : Viral load monitoring is used as an important marker for diagnosing early treatment failure in patients with HIV infection/AIDS. Ethiopia has started targeted viral load monitoring recently. However, factors leading to virological failure are not well understood. The aim of this study is to assess magnitude of virologic failure and associated factors among adult patient on ART at Debre Markos Referral Hospital, North West Ethiopia. Methods : Cross sectional study was conducted on 304 participants who had started first line HAAR. Data were collected from patients’ chart starting from ART commencement and face to face interview using semi structured questionnaire. Viral load from separated plasma were analyzed according to protocols. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Binary and multiple logistic regression models were fitted to identify factors associated with virological failure among adult patient on ART and to control confounding effect. The results were presented as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals. Independent associations were considered with p<0.05. Results: Magnitude of virological failure was 10.5%. Lower income, (AOR = 3.5, 95% CI = 1.2 - 10.5, P = 0.024), lack of social support (AOR = 2.9, 95% CI = 1.01 – 8.2, P = 0.024), Interruption of ART, (AOR = 3.5, 95% CI = 1.01 – 12.1, P = 0.046), drug adherence (AOR = 3.6, 95% CI = 1.1 – 11.3, P = 0.028), non-working functional status (AOR = 3.5, 95% CI = 1.2 – 9.7, P = 0.018), WHO stage III or IV (AOR = 2.9, 95% CI = 1.01 – 8.0, P = 0.040), CD4 count < 200 cells/ml (AOR = 3.0, 95% CI = 1.1 – 8.0, P = 0.031) and TB co-infection (AOR = 3.7, 95% CI = 1.2 – 11.3, P = 0.018) were significantly associated with virological failure. Conclusions and recommendations : The prevalence of virologic failure was high. Lower income, lack of social support, interruption of ART, drug non-adherence, baseline non-working functional status, WHO stage, CD4 count < 200 cells/ml and TB co-infection Conducting faith healing, TB co infection, WHO stage III and IV, adherence, and income were determinants of virologic failure. Therefore early identification of associated factors and monitoring of virologic failure has to be strengthened to benefit patients to prevent from further complication.
