Analysis of the Effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Functional States and Connectivity of the Human Cerebral Cortex Using Electroencephalography
Authors: Litvak Vladimir
Published: May 2021

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive method for stimulating the human brain based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.The present research aimed at developing new methods for characterization of the immediate and long-term effects of TMS on the brain and for developing more precise stimulation protocols that would allow purposeful modification of the brain’s functional state and connectivity. Electroencephalography (EEG) was chosen as the neuroimaging method due to its high temporal resolution and the possibility to combine it with TMS.Three studies were carried out. The first was aimed at characterizing EEG responses to TMS applied to the left and right primary motor cortex. For this purpose it was necessary to solve the problem of TMS artifacts hampering the analysis of several tens of milliseconds immediately following the stimulus. This was achieved by analyzing data recorded with a specially adapted recording system and subtracting the residual artifact in software. Combining these two approaches enabled almost complete removal of the artifact without distorting physiological brain signals. Based on the artifact-free data, a model of the response that revealed remarkable symmetry between the responses to stimulation at the left and right sides of the brain was suggested.The second study examined the long-term effects of TMS. The specific protocol tested - paired associative stimulation (PAS) is an attempt to mimic natural neural learning mechanisms. PAS consists of pairing an electrical stimulus of the median nerve at the wrist with magnetic stimulation of the primary somatosensory cortex. A long series of such paired stimuli has been found to modify the amplitude of a particular peak in the EEG response to median nerve stimulation. Our aim was to better understand the mechanism of this modification and test whether it affects the perceptual discrimination ability. We showed that PAS affects synapses at superficial layers of cortical area 3b which is responsible for processing tactile information. We also found significant effects of PAS on behavioral performance related to changes in the EEG response.The third study addressed the variability of muscular responses to TMS pulses delivered under identical conditions. We showed that this variability is, at least partially, related to oscillatory activity in the sensorimotor cortical areas. The finding that increase in the power of the oscillations was associated with a larger muscular response to TMS challenges the accepted view that oscillations appear during an idling state of the motor system.

Authors: Fungaro Denise Alves , Silva Kátia Cruz , Mahmoud Alaa El Din
Published: May 2021

Wastes generated in large amounts have been recognized as sustainable sources of raw materials for the synthesis of adsorbents. The synthesis of zeolite through wastes recycling of two different ash sources (coal bottom ash and sugarcane waste ash) and industrial aluminum waste was evaluated. The molar ratio of SiO2/Al2O3 for zeolite 4A formation was achieved by the addition of aluminum waste from tertiary industry as aluminum source. Coal bottom ash and sugarcane waste ash were used as a source of both silica and alumina. The synthesized materials were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cation exchange capacity (CEC). The analysis of the properties of the products demonstrates that the by-products can be used to produce zeolite A. The utilization of synthesized zeolites as adsorbent for cadmium removal from aqueous solution was conducted following the concept of implementation of utilization of waste materials as a component of the circular economy in the wastewater sector.

Background and Aims: The spectrum of congenital heart diseases (CHD) presenting for surgery to any cardiac center varies depending upon the geographical location of the center. This study is aimed to reveal the spectrum of CHD operated at a tertiary level cardiac center of Nepal.
Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Center (SGNHC), Kathmandu, over a period of five years, from April 14, 2015 to April 13, 2020. All patients with a confirmed diagnosis of congenital heart disease who had undergone palliative or definitive cardiac surgery were included.
Results: Out of the total 2698 patients, there were 1374 (50.93%) females. The total number of acyanotic congenital heart disease was 1919 (71.13%), and that of cyanotic was 779 (28.87%). Male to female ratio among acyanotic and cyanotic were 0.85:1 and 1.31:1 respectively. Among all CHDs, atrial septal defect (ASD) (38.13%) followed by ventricular septal defect (VSD) (21.68%) and atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) (5.04%) respectively were the commonest acyanotic heart lesions. Considering only the pediatric population (age 0-18 years), the commonest was VSD (27.06%) followed by ASD (22.3%) respectively. The commonest cyanotic was tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) (14.15%) followed by double outlet right ventricle (DORV) (4.44%) and total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) (2.89%) respectively.
Conclusion: Female population was slightly more in number amid acyanotic lesion whereas male population was dominant in cyanotic lesion. The commonest acyanotic CHD was ASD and, TOF was the commonest cyanotic lesion.

Background and Aims: The number of pacemaker implantation is increasing at various centres of Nepal with increase in cardiac services. However, there are few data available regarding the pacemaker implantation in Nepal. This study intend to focus and study trends and profile of permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) of 19 years experience at the referral tertiary cardiac center which will reflect intended objective of this study.

Methods: This was a retrospective cross sectional study done at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre (SGNHC). The data of the patient who underwent PPI from 2001 November to 2020 August were reviewed. Patients data including age, sex, indication for pacing, mode of pacing, type of pacemaker implanted, implantation parameters such as lead impedence and threshold were recorded and analyzed.

Results: A total of 3631 pacemaker implantation were performed at SGNHC from 2001 November to 2020 August. Among the total patients, 59.4% were male with mean age of 65.2±15.2 years. The most common indication was degenerative complete heart block (74.8%). Sick sinus syndrome (8.2%) was the second most common indication of pacing. The single chamber were implanted in 93.3% cases and dual chamber in 6.7% cases. VVIR was the most common mode of implantation in 93.1% cases, followed by DDDR (6.7%). AAIR (0.1%) and VDD in 0.1% cases. The total number of pacemaker implanted yearly in SGNHC has increased since the early year of implantation. During the early years most of the pacemakers were Single chamber (VVI) pacemaker and the implantation of dual chamber pacemaker increased gradually from year 2010 onwards. After the year 2010 the implantation of dual chamber pacemaker has increased significantly compared to prior to 2010 (p= 0.001). There were no gender differences in use of single chamber and dual chamber implantation during this period. (p value = 0.489). The dual chamber were implanted mostly in age group less than 65 year compared to more than 65 years (P value = 0.001).

Conclusion: There is gradual increase in the number of pacemaker implantation yearly at SGNHC and since 2010 there is also increase in number of dual chamber pacemaker implantation though the single chamber pacemaker outnumbered the dual chamber implantation.

Animation is a static image that is displayed sequentially so that the image becomes a moving image. Apart from being an entertainment, animation has also become a guide, an inspiration, as well as a means of socializing. Along with the development of technology, there are many techniques for making animation. These techniques aim to improve the quality of the image, as well as the animation movement itself. There is a lack of awareness to maintain health in society today. Many people do not understand the importance of maintaining health to stay healthy. Recently, there has been an unclear paradigm towards the transmission of the Covid -19 virus. The spread of a virus that is very mobile, will definitely have a bad impact. This is exacerbated by the state of unclear issues, where there is a lack of socialization of the preventive action of the Covid-19 virus, especially in Indonesia. Based on these things, in this study a socialization video was made about preventing the spread of the Covid -19 virus, based on 2-dimensional animation using kinetic typography techniques. So, the final result of this research is in the form of an animated video as a 2-dimensional based socialization media regarding the prevention of transmission of the Covid -19 virus to the public visually in the form of an animated video.

Published: May 2021

Batik Tiga Negeri is an Indonesian adiwastra that is still considered a mystery. Why? Because its history is still not completely clear. Batik Tiga Negeri is believed to have undergone a coloring process in three different cities, first in Lasem for red color, Pekalongan for the blue color, and finally in Solo for sogan or brown color. Therefore, the production journey of one batik Tiga Negeri will take a total of 650 km. The Tjoa family started producing batik Tiga Negeri in 1910, but it was regrettable that in 2014, the family had stopped the production because they have no successors. The Tjoa family stated that they named after their batik based on the legendary Sam Kok story from China known as the Three Kingdoms. Therefore, the batik Tiga Negeri, created by the Tjoa family, is a brand that is then attached to the legendary batik Tiga Negeri through the branding process. This study will analyze how Batik 3 Negeri Tjoa Family's brand and branding process can help build a brand image to strengthen the batik 3 Negeri Tjoa family's brand value. The researcher conducted a qualitative descriptive method to explore batik 3 Negeri of the Tjoa family through literature studies on batik Tiga Negeri and interviews with batik experts and enthusiasts complemented by literature studies on brand theory and branding. The results reveal the strength of the Tjoa family Batik 3 Negeri Solo's brand and branding process, which had been carried out for three generations, had succeeded in elevating their batik products into known to have aesthetic value and high quality and became the leading choice for the Sundanese in West Java.

Published: May 2021

As time evolves, it is easier to find children, young, and adults using earphones to do various things ranging from work to entertainment purposes. The habit of using earphones with a volume that is too loud or too long added with other daily noise and a person's lifestyle can certainly harm their hearing. Therefore, the risk of hearing loss that can arise due to unsafe use of earphones needs to be informed early on to young people. This is because hearing loss due to noise is irreversible, so prevention is the most effective way to protect hearing from the risks that may occur. The research objective was to describe the creative strategy design for the educational campaign using earphones. The campaign's creative strategy is using qualitative methods, observation, interviews, literature studies, and surveys. The target chosen for this campaign strategy is young people aged 18-22 years as the generation who use earphones in their everyday life most of the time. The result of this research is a creative strategy in designing a visual communication campaign using an educational approach with the concept of "your last song". This concept emphasizes the delivery of information that the habit of listening to songs using earphones needs to pay attention to safety and risk aspects.

Neobarokna palača Prister na Strossmayerovu trgu 2 (1893.), projekt Hönigsberga i Deutscha, ističe se urbanističkim smještajem i arhitektonskim obilježjima. S glavnim pročeljem na jednom od trgova perivojne potkove, trokrilnim plastičnim tijelom određuje dvorište u dnu kojeg se uz Petrinjsku ulicu nalazila niža konjušnica s vežom, čime je formiran svojevrsni cour d’honneur. Činjenica da je palača bila rasterećena od kolnog ulaza omogućila je impostaciju raskošnog predvorja i trokrakog stubišta cijelom dubinom pročelnog krila, a navedeno osovinsko rješenje iskazano je na pročelju sceničnim portalom nadvišenim balkonom te elegantnom atikom sa skulpturama. Takvom svojom prostornom organizacijom te unutrašnjom opremom i vanjskom plastikom izdvaja se iz tadašnjega zagrebačkog standarda upućujući na izvore u bečkoj arhitekturi, gdje se školuju projektanti. Danas u funkciji Arhiva i dviju znanstvenih ustanova u sastavu HAZU uključena je u projekt cjelovite obnove nakon potresa 2020. godine, a prateća istraživanja iznijela su na vidjelo nepoznate podatke iz njezine građevne povijesti.
Narudžbe portreta za Narodni muzej u Zagrebu pedesetih godina 19. stoljeća
Authors: Bregovac Pisk Marina
Published: May 2021

Narodni muzej u Zagrebu posjetiteljima je otvoren 1846. godine, u vrijeme punog zamaha Hrvatskoga narodnog preporoda, koji će tri godine kasnije oktroiranim ustavom biti zaustavljen. Uloga novog muzeja u javnom i kulturnom životu Zagreba i šire pokazala se izuzetno važnom. U kratkom razdoblju od 1855. do 1858. za novi muzej naručena su i izvedena četiri portreta – prvog »čuvara« novog muzeja Dragutina Rakovca, bana Josipa Jelačića, cara i kralja Franje Josipa I. i zagrebačkog nadbiskupa Jurja Haulika, plaćena sredstvima prikupljenim javnim pozivima. Djela su Ivana Zaschea, slikara koji je iz Beča došao u Zagreb 1852. godine na Haulikov poziv, i ostao u njemu sve do smrti 1863. godine. Članak se bavi trima osobama ključnim za Narodni muzej u početcima njegovoga javnog djelovanja i otvaranja posjetiteljima – Dragutinom Rakovcem, Mijatom Sabljarom i Ljudevitom Farkašom Vukotinovićem, te objedinjuje dosadašnja saznanja o naručenim portretima i vremenu njihovih narudžbi.
“Osobni dosjei” vile Frangeš i vile Peroš prije i nakon potresa 2020. godine u Zagrebu

Published: May 2021

Na primjeru dviju vila građenih početkom 20. stoljeća, vile Frangeš, pojedinačno zaštićenoga kulturnog dobra, i vile Peroš, koja predstavlja ambijentalnu vrijednost Povijesne urbane cjeline Grad Zagreb, autorice iznose problematiku njihove zaštite i stanja spomeničke baštine u okolnostima nakon potresa 2020. godine u Zagrebu. Pritom “osobni dosjei” vila otkrivaju mnoge otežavajuće okolnosti u provedbi zaštite kulturnog nasljeđa, od zapuštanja i opstruiranja konstruktivnih i inih sanacijskih mjera samih vlasnika, do dovođenja u pitanje temeljne opstojnosti spomenika. Namjera je člankom upozoriti na ono što bi se u izvanrednim postpotresnim okolnostima moglo događati pri sanacijskim zahvatima u zaštićenoj spomeničkoj cjelini, kao i koji bi se naslijeđeni problemi, iščitani u “normalnim” okolnostima zaštite baštine, mogli nastaviti. Vila Frangeš godinama je zatvorena, zapuštena i nedostupna, propada u očekivanju temeljite sanacije i predviđene muzealizacije, a dodatno je oštećena u potresu. Vila Peroš također je godinama zapuštena i premda je dobro podnijela potres, devastirana je ubrzo nakon njega te je u posljednji čas spašena od potpune destrukcije. U ovom je članku vila Peroš prvi put povijesno-urbanistički kontekstualizirana i stilski valorizirana. Oba primjera svjedoče o kompleksnom odnosu svih sudionika u procesu zaštite, prenamjene i čuvanja kulturnih dobara, bilo da je riječ o pojedinačno visoko vrednovanim i zaštićenim primjerima ili o ambijentalnim vrijednostima kojima tek treba dodatnim istraživanjima potvrditi atribuciju i donijeti valorizaciju.
Planovi i faze gradnje Akademije likovnih umjetnosti u Zagrebu od 1895. do 1957. godine

Published: May 2021

Glavna zgrada Akademije likovnih umjetnosti u Zagrebu građena je u različitim etapama od 1895. do 1957. godine. U članku se prvi put detaljno analiziraju sve faze gradnje, počevši od Umjetničkih atelijera koje je 1895. projektirao Herman Bollé, dograđenih za potrebe Više škole za umjetnost i umjetni obrt po nacrtima Victora Grossa 1907. godine. Prema projektu Ćirila Metoda Ivekovića sklopu je 1921. prigrađena dvokatnica s visokom mansardom, a kao posljednja velika intervencija uslijedila je trokatna dogradnja 1957. godine prema projektu Ive Geršića. Sveukupno pet objekata različitih autora i razdoblja gradnje čini današnji jedinstveni arhitektonski sklop. Osim arhitekata projektanata, u članku se spominju i graditelji izvođači, Kuno Waidmann, Pilar, Mally & Bauda, Josip Dubsky, Wutte i Mihok. Navode se i interpretiraju i nerealizirani planovi i nacrti koje su izradili arhitekti Viktor Kovačić i Hugo Ehrlich (1908., atribucija), Rudolf Lubynski (1912.) te Srećko Florschütz (1914.). Tijekom prvih šezdesetak godina, od kraja 19. do sredine 20. stoljeća planirana je i izgrađena središnja zgrada u dvorištu Ilice 85, a u njezinoj su arhitektonskoj koncepciji i realizaciji sudjelovali tada najpriznatiji hrvatski arhitekti i graditelji.
Lenucijeve avenije: nove prostorne osi Zagreba
Authors: Knežević Snješka
Published: May 2021

U razdoblju od 1893. do 1913. godine Milan Lenuci projektirao je za područja oslobođena premještanjem i rekonstrukcijom potoka Medveščaka više avenija u funkciji prostornih osi i ishodišta urbanističke strukture pojedinih budućih dijelova grada. Slične je avenije projektirao i za područje periferije, Trešnjevke i Trnja. Te osi razabiru se u kasnije izgrađenom tkivu grada, iako u drukčijim dimenzijama i izmijenjenim tokovima.
Potez triju trgova (Trg hrvatskih velikana – Trg žrtava fašizma – Krešimirov trg) – urbani status istočne ekstenzije zagrebačkoga Donjeg grada
Authors: Radović Mahečić Darja
Published: May 2021

Detaljno se predstavlja urbanistički i arhitektonski razvoj istočnoga gradskog središta, čiju okosnicu čini potez triju trgova: Trga hrvatskih velikana, Trga žrtava fašizma i Krešimirova trga. Urbani status ovog područja stjecao se postupnim razvojem predjela koji se nazivao »dio istočno od Draškovićeve ulice«, što je na prijelazu 19. u 20. stoljeće značilo izvan okvira Innenstadta (»unutarnjeg grada«, odnosno gradskog središta). Autor ideje trgova na dijagonalnoj osi je Milan Lenuci, najpoznatiji zagrebački urbanist s kraja 19. i početka 20. stoljeća, koji je prvi istaknuo razvojne mogućnosti tog dijela grada. Detaljnom regulatornom osnovom 1905. zadao je ključne elemente predjela Vlaška – Draškovićeva – Branimirova – Bauerova, koji je realiziran zbrojem pojedinačnih gradnji i parcijalnih regulacija većinom 1920-ih i 1930-ih godina. Širenje grada prema istoku od početka 20. stoljeća (kada grad bitno pomiče svoju granicu u tom smjeru), intenzivna i kvalitetna izgradnja u međuratnom razdoblju (kada taj prostor postaje “novi” poslovno-stambeni dio grada), ali i dogradnja 1950-ih i 1960-ih godina, bili su smisleniji, urbanistički određeniji te prostorno i hortikulturno primjereniji negoli u drugim gradskim područjima, što ovoj gradskoj četvrti daje identitet i prepoznatljivost, karakterističnu cjelovitost i visoku ambijentalnu vrijednost. Poštivanje toga reprezentativnog urbanog prostora, koji je nastao angažmanom brojnih aktera u relativno kratkom segmentu 20. stoljeća, treba ugraditi u obvezni dio programa buduće sanacije i uređenja.
Intraoperative MRI for the microsurgical resection of meningiomas close to eloquent areas or dural sinuses: patient series
Authors: Tuleasca Constantin , Aboukais Rabih , Vannod-Michel Quentin , Leclerc Xavier , Reyns Nicolas , Lejeune Jean-Paul
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND

Meningiomas are the most commonly encountered nonglial primary intracranial tumors. The authors report on the usefulness of intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) during microsurgical resection of meningiomas located close to eloquent areas or dural sinuses and on the feasibility of further radiation therapy.

OBSERVATIONS

Six patients benefited from this approach. The mean follow-up period after surgery was 3.3 (median 3.2, range 2.1–4.6) years. Five patients had no postoperative neurological deficit, of whom two with preoperative motor deficit completely recovered. One patient with preoperative left inferior limb deficit partially recovered. The mean interval between surgery and radiation therapy was 15.8 (median 16.9, range 1.4–40.5) months. Additional radiation therapy was required in five cases after surgery. The mean preoperative tumor volume was 38.7 (median 27.5, range 8.6–75.6) mL. The mean postoperative tumor volume was 1.2 (median 0.8, range 0–4.3) mL. At the last follow-up, all tumors were controlled.

LESSONS

The use of iMRI was particularly helpful to (1) decide on additional tumor resection according to iMRI findings during the surgical procedure; (2) evaluate the residual tumor volume at the end of the surgery; and (3) judge the need for further radiation and, in particular, the feasibility of single-fraction radiosurgery.
Tuning of PID Controller Parameters with Genetic Algorithm Method on DC Motor
Authors: Widya Suseno Eka , Ma'arif Alfian
Published: May 2021

Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controllers are used in general to control a system, for example a DC motor system. The difficulty of using the controller is parameter tuning, because the tuning parameters still use the trial and error method to find the PID parameter constants, namely Proportional Gain (KP), Integral Gain (KI) and Derivative Gain (KD). In this case, the genetic algorithm method is used which can give better results in each iteration. Genetic algorithms are one of the smart methods inspired by the process of natural selection, the process that causes biological evolution, this concept is applied to tuning PID parameters. This research uses the Matlab simulation method and applies the simulation results to the DC motor hardware using the Arduino Uno. The genetic algorithm method gives a system that has a better steady time and a smaller maximum spike than the Trial and Error method. The test process produced the two best data with an overshoot value = 2, settling time = 13.5 and rise time of 2.7872 and the PID parameter value for mutation of 1 was KP = 3.7500; KI = 1.3184 and KD = 0.2051. Then the value of the best PID parameter on Crossover is 0.4, which is KP = 4.2090; KI = 1.2012 and KD = 0.2539 with an overshoot value = 2, settling time = 18 and rise time = 2.6462.

Published: May 2021

This paper introduces the design and the implementation of a heading angle tracking controller using fuzzy logic for a scaled Autonomous Multi-Wheeled Combat Vehicle (AMWCV) to navigate in outdoor environments. The challenge of designing this control system is to control the steering of the front four wheels individually to obtain the correct heading angle of the vehicle. The main contribution of the paper can be summarized in the fact that it is designing four fuzzy controllers for navigation and tracking the desired heading angle while at the same time while controlling the steering of the front four wheels individually. The AMWCV is capable of forwarding and backward movement where all eight wheels are powered individually. The different heading angles are used and simulated using MATLAB software to evaluate the performances of the developed algorithms. In addition, the performance of the developed controllers is validated in the presence of noise and disturbance in order to evaluate the robustness of the controller's Simulation results show the performances and demonstrate that the developed controllers are effective in predicting the desired heading angle changes.

Point-Based Grading System: Advantages and Disadvantages
Authors: Мaltseva N. N. , Рenkov V. Е.
Published: May 2021

One of the vital issues of modern education is assessing the level of students’ knowledge using a point-based grading system. Various approaches to definition of this phenomenon have been examined, and based on their analysis, the authors have come to the conclusion that the use of PBGS solves several important problems. First, it helps to evaluate students’ knowledge more accurately by increasing the maximum possible number of points. Second, it provides a possibility to evaluate individual work activities. Third, it encourages students to work hard to master new material throughout the semester. The authors have also scrutinized the disadvantages of this knowledge assessment system. These include: the risk of a biased judgment; fostering individualism when everyone is interested only in his/her personal growth; dominance of the written test over the oral answer; and the use of test tasks, which allows one to determine only the initial conceptual level of the subject without revealing the problematic, conceptual depth of knowledge, without identifying creative minds who can think outside the box. Then, through a mental experiment, various pedagogical situations have been assessed in which a formal use of a point-based grading system leads to biased results. The article proposes specific measures to improve the point-based grading system, so as to achieve a more objective assessment of competence level in students of higher educational institutions: 1) at least 50% of the total score should be planned for the final test event; 2) the final certification should include a small number of questions, which will allow, on the one hand, to save students’ time and effort, and, on the other, to master the material in depth; 3) dual accounting should be helpful – of the total number of points in the PBGS and of the final certification grades in the subject; 4) it is necessary to provide for an option to “transfer” points from one kind of work to another. In closing, the authors conclude that a point-based grading system has its own advantages and disadvantages, and, adhering to the above rules, it is possible to strengthen the former and weaken the latter. However, it should be emphasized that a complete switch to the PBGS and break with the traditional methods of testing knowledge seem inappropriate.

The global task of the recent decade is to search for clinical and laboratory markers accurately showing a patient’s reaction to steroid therapy and other immunosuppressive drugs. It is important the applied methods and tests to be non-invasive and simple to use. The article considers various biomarkers used to verify the type of nephrotic syndrome depending on the sensitivity to steroid therapy. Besides the common markers, which are used in clinical practice or have shown a significant result, the work highlights the molecular- genetic markers of resistance to steroid therapy, which are of special clinical importance today. Also, the article presents authors’ own results in diagnosing the steroid resistance of the primary nephrotic syndrome.

The leading death cause in the world is diseases of the cardiovascular system, with CHD as the leader in the structure of cardiovascular diseases. The cause of this disease is atherosclerosis. One of the possible causes of atherosclerosis is an increase in LDL-C and a decrease in HDL-C in the blood. Many epidemiological studies have reliably shown that HDL cholesterol reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Data from recent studies cast doubt on this data. The review briefly describes the current understanding of the effect of HDL-C high levels on morbidity and mortality, lists the new approaches to assessing the role and function of these particles, presents the results of clinical studies of drugs that affect their concentration in blood plasma and the probable causes leading to an increase of the HDL-Cin content in the blood.
Measuring Technical Efficiency in Venezuela: The Dual-Purpose Cattle System (DPCS)
Authors: Ortega Leonardo , Ward Ronald W. , Andrew Chris
Published: May 2021

The dual-purpose cattle system (DPCS) describes traditional cattle production practice in the lowland tropics of Latin America where a mix of Zebu, Criollo, and European breeds are used in meat and milk production (Sere and de Vacarro, 1985; Castillo, 1992). The economic importance of DPCS to these regions is clear since Tropical America uses this production system for 78% of its total bovine population and 41% of its milk production (Fernandez-Bacca, 1995; Estrada, 1993). In Venezuela, this system represents approximately 90% of total national milk production and around 60% of total milk consumption (Plasse, 1992).  This is EDIS document FE495, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

In the maintenance of Measuring and Limiting Devices (APP) by replacing the kWh Meter on the old kWh meter, as well as P2TL efforts to examine customers who have the potential to commit violations or lack of billing in adjusting electricity rates. In this operation an error / deviation check will be performed on the kWh meter to determine the feasibility of the kWh meter. So far, the measurement of deviation on the kWh Meter 3 Phase is done manually so that it is considered less effective. With this deviation gauge kwh meter 3 phase measurement, meter change officers and P2TL field officers will be able to help in measuring the deviation in the 3 phase kWh meter. This tool reads the power of the kWh meter through the display of the led impulse indicator, then compares it with the power measurement using the metering module at the same time so that the deviation can be detected whether more or less from the meter class, because the measurement standards are based on the meter class. The results obtained from testing on a kWh meter with a grade of 0.5, obtained a deviation of less than 0.5 percent, which means the kWh meter is good because it is still awake in its class according to SPLN No.96 of 1993.Keywords: Deviation, Kwh Meter, Maintaining APP, P2TL

Published: May 2021

Audio forensics is a field of science that analyzes audio such as sound recordings. Voice recordings always have information in the form of frequency characteristics, the identities of these frequencies can be identified. Furthermore, an analysis of changes in pitch and formant will be carried out. This study used pitch analysis and analysis of variance on formants. With the correct procedure for handling recorded sound evidence which is then followed by procedural examination and analysis, it is hoped that the results of the voice recognition examination can scientifically show the ownership of the voice in the recording. Based on the results of the overall analysis of the sound recordings of evidence and comparison after carrying out various stages of analysis, the voice recordings are "not identical" from the same person. The thing that causes the inequality in voice identification is the difference in intonation or tone of the subject's speech when the voice is recorded.
