Background: The goal of this study is to illustrate an optimum variable selection method using established Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) models and to validate the variable using Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network (MLP) models. Initially, all selected variables will be passed through the bootstrap methodology, and they were screened for significant relationships.
Objective: The goal of this work is to analyze and construct a model for the factor linked with total crime cases by combining an Applied Linear Regression Model (ALRM) and a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP).
Material and Methods: Around 200 data was simulated to build the methodology. Advanced computational statistical modeling methodologies were used to evaluate data descriptions of several variables in this retrospective study, including the total victim, gender, age, marital status, social class, adult in the household, children in household, burglary’s victim, sexual’s victim, victim’s report, and household location. The case study was developed and implemented using the R-Studio program and syntax.
Results: The statistical method demonstrated that regression modeling surpasses R-squared and mean square error test in most situations. Researchers observed that when data is divided into two datasets for training and testing, the hybrid model approach performs significantly better at predicting the experiment’s outcome. When it came time to determine variable validity, the well-established bootstrap-integrated MLR approach was applied. Ten characteristics are taken into consideration in this case: Gender (: -0.4369700; p< 0.25), age (: -0.0086757; p< 0.25), marital status (: 0.2646097; p< 0.25), social class ( : 0.0602540; p< 0.25), adult in household (: -0.0211293; p> 0.25), children in household (: -0.0025346; p> 0.25), burglary’s victim (: 1.3473593; p< 0.25), sexual’s victim (: 1.0382444; p< 0.25), victim’s report (: -0.3176104; p< 0.25), and location of household (: -0.1355046; p< 0.25).There is a 0.07745823 MSE for the linear model in this scenario.
Conclusion: The neural network’s Predicted Mean Square Error (PMSE) was used to assess MLP’s performance (MSE-forecasts the Network). PMSE is used to determine how far our projections are from the actual data, and the lowest MSE from the MLP indicates the best achievement. The R syntax for MLR and MLP is also included in this research article.As a result, the study’s conclusion establishes the superiority of the hybrid model technique.

Authors: How Ooi Jun , Muhamad Rosediani , Muthusamy Rubinderan , Rahman Fairuz Abdul , Mohd Zulkifli Maryam
Published: January 2023

Lichenoid drug eruption is a rare side effect which may occur following administration of several types of medication. The pathogenesis of lichenoid drug eruption is postulated to be due to persistent activation of CD8 T lymphocytes against epidermal cells. There were only a few cases of Amlodipine-induced lichenoid drug eruption reported in literature. Due to the rare occurrence, this disease might be overlooked and lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment. It is vital for the attending medical practitioner to be able to diagnose this disease as amlodipine was found to be the most utilised medication used in Malaysia according to the latest Malaysian Statistics on Medicine 2015-2016.We report a rare case of a 60-year-old Chinese gentleman who presented with predominant oral lesions as well as cutaneous lesions after initiation of amlodipine. A diagnosis of amlodipine-induced lichenoid drug eruption was made after thorough assessment and evaluation.

Total variation denoising and Euclidean distance based distributed temperature monitoring in Brillouin optical time-domain analysis sensors
Authors: Sakin Taskin , Ahmed Tanbin , Azad Abul Kalam
Published: December 2022

The performance of Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) sensors is largely deteriorated due to the poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of Brillouin gain spectra (BGSs) collected from the BOTDA experiment. The fast monitoring of distributed temperature using BOTDA sensors is also vital for many longdistant applications. To cope with these requirements, this paper proposes total variation denoising (TVD) and Euclidean distance-based pattern recognition (TEPR) for high-performance BOTDA sensors. The performances of TEPR are analyzed explicitly, and rigorous comparisons have been made with traditional nonlinear least squares fitting (NLSF). The experimentally demonstrated results signify that the proposed TEPR can improve the measurement uncertainty by up to ~55% compared to NLSF without worsening the experimental spatial resolution. The signal processing for using TEPR is also ~4 times faster than that for using NLSF. Hence, the proposed technique is an efficient and reliable alternative for the fast and accurate monitoring of distributed temperature in BOTDA sensors. J.

Changes in morpho-physiological and yield attributes of Sesamum indicum under waterlogging at different growth stages
Authors: Anee Taufika Islam , Biswas Parimal Kanti , Hasanuzzaman Mirza
Published: December 2022

To understand the responsive nature to excess water, a pot experiment was conducted at different growth stages of sesame (Sesamum indicum L. cv. BARI Til-4). The waterlogging stress at each stage was set to three durations, viz. 2, 4, and 6 days. Twelve different treatment combinations were replicated three times and arranged in a completely randomized design. Different morpho-physiological and yield parameters were measured after the completion of the longest stress duration (6 days). The data revealed that sesame is vulnerable to excess water conditions, and the sensitivity is positively correlated with the stress duration. Plant biomass, leaf area, SPAD value, and the yield attributes recorded are observed to be declined with the increment of stress duration. Another important finding is that among the three growth stages of sesame, the reproductive stage is the most sensitive stage, which hardly withstands waterlogging. the stress at the vegetative stage affect yield parameters minimally.

Published: December 2022

Background: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus may present with different macro- and micro-vascular complications including diabetic nephropathy. This study was designed to evaluate the risk factors for diabetic nephropathy among newly detected type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: This case-control study was done at BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January to September 2017. Adult (³18 years), type 2 diabetic patients, who were detected as diabetic for the first time, within the previous three months and who tested, at least, 2 urine samples for urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR), at least 6 weeks apart, were consecutively enrolled for the study. Pregnant ladies, patients with diagnosed kidney disease, patients having features of glomerulonephritis and systemic diseases like vasculitis and systemic lupus erythematosus, history of recent fever, urinary tract infection and menstruation were excluded. Patients having UACR ³30 mg/g in at least 2 (out of 3, if tested) samples were taken as cases and those with UACR < 30 mg/g were controls. Data were analyzed by statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20.
Results: Total patients were 224 with female predominance (150, 67%). Fifty one (22.8%) patients had diabetic nephropathy (microalbuminuria = 47 and overt proteinuria = 4). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that, hypertension [odds ratio (OR) = 3.71; 95% CI 1.23 to 4.31, p = 0.003], smoking (OR = 3.27; 95% CI 2.91 to 4.79, p = 0.003), family history of diabetes (OR = 2.31; 95% CI 1.84 to 3.14, p = 0.005) and diabetic nephropathy (OR = 3.34; 95% CI 2.40 to 4.97, p = 0.001), dyslipidaemia (OR = 2.31; 95% CI 1.98 to 3.91, p = 0.023), increased body mass index (BMI) (OR = 2.11; 95% CI 1.54 to 4.87, p = 0.001 and high glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) (OR 3.21; 95% CI 1.71 to 5.97, p = 0.034) were significant risk factors for diabetic nephropathy.
Conclusion: One in every five type 2 diabetic patients had diabetic nephropathy during diabetes diagnosis and most patients had microalbuminuria. Hypertension, dyslipidaemia, smoking, family history of diabetes and diabetic nephropathy, increased BMI and high HbA1c were significant risk factors for diabetic nephropathy among newly detected type 2 diabetic patients.

Comparison Between Clonazepam and Bromazepam as Premedication Drugs to Reduce Anxiety in Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery Under General Anaesthesia
Authors: Karim Md Enayet , Rahman Md Muzibur , Ershad Reza , Rashid RAM Mustafijur
Published: December 2022

Background: The majority of patients admitted in hospital for elective surgery experience anxiety preoperatively which can adversely influence the surgical procedure as well as the patient’s recovery. Reduction of anxiety and fear during preoperative period in patients of elective surgery is an essential surgical preparation. Benzodiazepines are the most commonly used drugs for this purpose.
Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in a series of 60 consecutive, randomly selected patients, aged 18-60 years, admitted for elective surgery under General Anaesthesia, in Combined Military Hospital, Chattogram during the period September 2021 to February 2022. Patients who received Clonazepam or Bromazepam as preoperative medication were included in the study. Anxiety was scored using VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), sedation was scored by using Ramsay Sedation Scale and anterograde amnesia by asking preoperative events after 24 hours of premedication.
Results: While evaluating mean anxiety reduction, mean reduction is not significantly different between the two groups (P value 0.856). Sedation level was more achieved with Clonazepam but that was not statistically significant (mean 2.13 vs mean 2.0, P value 0.557). In the Clonazepam group, greater percentage of patients could not recall preoperative events but that was not statistically significant (average 51.10% vs 39.99%, P value>0.05). Incidence of adverse effects was more in the Bromazepam group (16.66% vs 6.66%).
Conclusion: The standard administration of Clonazepam and Bromazepam before operation provides patients with a moderate reduction of periprocedural anxiety. Clonazepam produces more amnesia, sedation and less adverse effects.. Therefore, this study favors routine use of Clonazepam as premedication to reduce anxiety before surgery.

Published: December 2022

Background: The kidneys are one of the vital organs of our body to excrete metabolic waste products, drugs and chemicals in the form of urine.
Objectives: This study was carried out to observe the effect of Vitamin E on gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity by assessing serum creatinine level in Long Evans rats.
Materials and Methods: The experimental study was carried out on 40 Long Evans rats of both sex with the weight ranges from 172-255 gm and the age ranges from 7 to 10 weeks. The rats were divided into four groups- Group A (control) received normal saline, group B, C and D received gentamicin for 6 days, rats of group C received vitamin E capsule for 9 days with gentamicin whereas, group D received vitamin E capsule with gentamicin for total 10 days. Serum creatinine level was measured at the end of experiment.
Results: The mean (mean+ SD) serum creatinine levels in group A, B, C and D were 0.98+0.34, 2.36+ 0.44, 1.39+0.18 and 1.30+0.18 respectively. The differences between the groups were highly significant (p<0.001) in group A&B, B&C and B&D whereas the difference between C&D was not significant (p>0.50). Serum creatinine level on the normal saline control (group A) was within normal limit (0.98mg/dl). Serum creatinine level in gentamicin treated (group B) rats were more in comparison to gentamicin and vitamin E treated rats (group C&D) and pretreatment with longer duration group (group D) showed lower serum creatinine level than the shorter one (group C) though there was no significant difference.
 Conclusion: Vitamin E treatment showed some protective effects against gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity. The results also indicated that effectiveness of vitamin E depends on a suitable duration of pretreatment for better protection against gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Covid-19 had been identified as an acute respiratory disease and many other systemic illnesses, causing unusual morbidity and death, particularly in older people and other people with co-morbidities. The disease is caused by an extremely infectious, super rapidly spreading and super-promptly mutating novel coronavirus, now known as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2 virus). Covid-19 became a pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Though its pandemic nature is now declining, it is still in existence in many parts of the world, causing substantial mortality and morbidity. The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission of Hubei province, officially notified it first on December 31, 2019, though the first date of symptom onset of a cavid-19 case was first recorded on December 8, 2019 on basis of the patient’s recall during the investigation in the Wuhan city of central China. China publicly had circulated the genetic make-up of the causative virus on January 12, 2020. From the 1st January, 2020 onwards, the WHO (World Health Organization) had worked on it several times at several levels till March 11, 2020, When WHO deeply notified its alarming spread and severity, characterizing it as a pandemic. It had created a severe panic all over the world, interfering with life, health, economy, trade, commerce, livelihood and living standard of people. This Covid-19 had taught us a myriad of lessons how to tackle and handle catastrophic massive disasters in emergent situations, probing into our limitations and requirements and emphasizing on local, regional. national and international awareness, cooperation and coordination.

Authors: Haque Quazi Manjurul , Rahman Md Arifur , Ahmed Abdullah Akhtar , Ahmed Shafi
Published: December 2022

Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) has rarely been reported to cause sepsis in newborns. A case in a newborn male was reported in a tertiary hospital in northern part of Bangladesh Khwaja Yunus Ali Medical College and Hospital, Sirajganj. The baby was born to a preeclamptic mother. He was quite well after a normal vaginal delivery. After 6 days, the baby was admitted to neonatal ward on complaint of dyspnea and fever. Antibiotic therapy was begun after samples for hemocultures were obtained with the suspicion of sepsis according to the clinical and laboratory findings. At the same time, he had a respiratory distress and grunting along with the absence of crying for a prolonged period of time. He was jaundiced. Blood culture revealed the presence of Bcc. The patient was sent to the Intensive Care Unit for resuscitation. Antibiotic susceptibility test of the blood specimen showed sensitivity to amikacin, ceftazidime, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, meropenem and levofloxacin. Symptoms improved with medical support along with antimicrobial therapy. This case highlights the importance of diagnostic blood culture of an acute sepsis condition to obtain a specific etiological diagnosis and management.

Authors: Mondal Eureka , Chakraborty Kaushik
Published: December 2022

Rice yellow stem borer (YSB), Scirpophaga incertulas Walker is one of the major destructive insect pests rendering huge crop damage. Nine insecticide formulations, either solely or in combinations were applied in the rice (var. Lalat) field for two consecutive seasons during 2019-2021 to assess their efficacy to suppress YSB population and to stabilize yield. The combination of flubendiamide (480 SC) @80 g a.s.ha-1 on 45 DAT and deltamethrin (1%) + triazophos (35%) @300 g a.i.ha-1 on 80 DAT, treated the rice crop, recorded minimum YSB incidence (4.14 egg clutches, 4.78 larvae and adults 3.17/5 hills) and damage (2.12% dead hearts (DH) and 1.47 white ear (WE). This treatment gave significantly higher grain yield (3.63 t ha-1), an increase of 45.78 per cent over control. The incidence (12.21 egg clutches, 14.12 larvae and adults 11.76/5 hills) and crop damage (14.83 DH and 11.10% WE) was maximum in the treatment, neem seed kernel extract (5%) @50 ml L-1 at 15 day intervals after transplanting and neem leaf extract (5%) @7 ml a.s. L-1 on 35, 50, 65 and 80 DAT, resulting in minimum yield (2.88 t ha-1). Other combinations of insecticide application gave variable results.

Adverse effects of the cyfluthrin on Cyphoderus javanus Borner (Collembola) in soil
Authors: Bhavya L.R. , Kumar M.G. Sanal
Published: December 2022

Soil collembolans are key model organisms for ecotoxicological studies and play an inevitable role in litter degradation, nutrient cycling, energy flow and various ecosystem functioning. The detritivore collembolan, yphoderus javanus, was used to determine the toxicity of insecticide formulation cyfluthrin under laboratory conditions. The impacts of insecticide cyfluthrin on life history parameters of C. javanus revealed that mortality rates increased with increasing concentration. The fecundity rates, the number of eggs laid, the number of juveniles’ emergence and longevity were found to be decreased drastically with insecticidal exposure. The high mortality of soil collembolans deducts the decomposition rate of organic matter and leaf litter, thereby reducing the fertility of soil.

Animal lovers are not only known as people who like certain animals because of their uniqueness or cuteness. Behind it all, animal lovers have the privilege that they are called good people. This is not without reason, because of course people who like to keep animals must be full of affection, sensitive and they have a way to be happy. We often have problems if we are animal lovers, we don't know where the nearest vet is, especially if we are a newcomer from a faraway city, where can we buy equipment or pet food, and the worst is if we don't know how to care for animals. our pets, especially when our pets are sick or other examples if we want to adopt animals or want to release our adopted animals to other people through existing social media but we are afraid of being deceived or even our pets will be abandoned. With the rapid development of this technology and with the help of artificial intelligence technology, we want to overcome all these problems, because technological developments have been used in all aspects such as schools, hospitals and so on. No exception in the field of animal and animal husbandry. We want to design an adoption information system using the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method which is divided into several stages such as analysis, design, implementation, verification and finally repair. The author uses qualitative methods to collect data which the author will discuss on the background and stages of system analysis in the waterfall development method, qualitative methods emphasize more on observing phenomena and examining more into the substance of the meaning of these phenomena. The analysis and acumen of qualitative research are greatly affected by the strength of the words and sentences used. The system design we created uses the PHP Programming Language, Javascript and the mysql database, the authors hope that this research can become a reference for other articles in the future.

Fenomena alam seperti hujan deras bersamaan dengan air laut pasang merupakan salah satu penyebab terjadinya banjir, seperti yang terjadi di wilayah Perumahan Taman Kartini Raya RT.003 RW.010 Kelurahan Sungai Harapan Kecamatan Sekupang Kota Batam karena terjadinya fernomena tersebut dan juga menimbulkan genangan air sehingga menggangu aktivitas warga. Upaya penanggulangan banjir sebelumnya seperti normalisasi sungai belum dapat mengatasi terjadinya genangan air. Sehingga tim pelaksana melakukan upaya alternatif lain yaitu membuat sumur resapan dan biopori melalui Program Kreativitas Mahasiswa bidang Pengabdian Masyarakat, dengan  2 buah sumur resapan yang dibuat tepat disamping saluran air dekat hilir sungai, membuat air pasang yang akan naik ke jalan mengisi sumur resapan terlebih dahulu, dan juga 18 biopori akan menampung air hujan, meresapkan air dan menguraikan sampah organik menjadi pupuk organik, dimana kegiatan ini dilaksanakan selama 4 bulan dengan tahap survei, sosialisasi dan praktik dilapangan yang dilakukan oleh tim pelaksana dengan mitra. Dengan adanya program ini diharapkan bisa membantu mengurangi genangan air akibat hujan ataupun air pasang.

Tomat memiliki prospek pasar yang baik dan banyak ditanam oleh petani. Kehilangan produksi tomat dapat disebabkan oleh infestasi patogen. Fusarium oxysporum adalah patogen dari golongan cendawan yang menyerang tanaman tomat. Teknik pengendalian yang dapat diterapkan bagi penyakit ini adalah pengendalian hayati yang memanfaatkan mikroorganisme seperti Trichoderma. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dosis optimal biopestisida berbahan aktif Trichoderma dalam mengendalikan penyakit layu F. oxysporum pada tanaman tomat. Penelitian ini dilakukan di lahan percobaan Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Borneo Tarakan. Penelitian ini terdiri atas 5 perlakuan yang diulang sebanyak 5 kali dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 3 tanaman per ulangan. Perlakuannya terdiri atas B0: Kontrol, B1: 2,5 gram biopestisida merek A per tanaman, B2: 5 gram biopestisida merek A per tanaman, B3: 2,5 gram biopestisida merek B per tanaman, dan B4: 5 gram biopestisida merek B per tanaman. Data pengamatan dianalisis sidik ragam dan diuji lanjut menggunakan uji beda nyata terkecil taraf 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukan biopestisida mampu menekan intensitas penyakit layu F. oxysporum hingga 62,4% (B1) dan mampu menjaga kerusakan tanaman ± 50% lebih baik dibandingkan kontrol sehingga tanaman mampu memproduksi rata – rata 6.20 jumlah total buah dengan berat buah rata – rata 50,69 gram.
