Improved whale optimization algorithm based on variable spiral position update strategy and adaptive inertia weight
Authors: Li Maodong , Xu Guanghui , Fu Yuanwang , Zhang Tingwei , Du Li
Published: December 2021

In this paper, a whale optimization algorithm based on adaptive inertia weight and variable spiral position updating strategy is proposed. The improved algorithm is used to solve the problem that the whale optimization algorithm is more dependent on the randomness of the parameters, so that the algorithm’s convergence accuracy and convergence speed are insufficient. The adaptive inertia weight, which varies with the fitness of individual whales, is used to balance the algorithm’s global search ability and local exploitation ability. The variable spiral position update strategy based on the collaborative convergence mechanism is used to dynamically adjust the search range and search accuracy of the algorithm. The effective combination of the two can make the improved whale optimization algorithm converge to the optimal solution faster. It had been used 18 international standard test functions, including unimodal function, multimodal function, and fixed-dimensional function to test the improved whale optimization algorithm in this paper. The test results show that the improved algorithm has faster convergence speed and higher algorithm accuracy than the original algorithm and several classic algorithms. The algorithm can quickly converge to near the optimal value in the early stage, and then effectively jump out of the local optimal through adaptive adjustment, and has a certain ability to solve large-scale optimization problems.
Analysis of the CONKO-001 trial: Is the validity of the study sufficient to recommend adjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer?
Authors: Bauer Katrin , Henne-Bruns Doris , Manzini Giulia
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: Since randomized controlled trials have indicated that adjuvant chemotherapy prolongs survival and reduces recurrence rates after surgical resection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, a gemcitabine based chemotherapy has become part of the interdisciplinary treatment concept for pancreatic cancer in accordance to current guidelines. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this project was to analyse the validity of the CONKO-001 trial as a basis for the recommendation of adjuvant chemotherapy in many international guidelines. METHODS: We analysed the validity of the CONKO-001 trial regarding study design, recruitment period, participating institutions, patient selection, randomisation, stratification, standardization of surgical treatment and histological examination, statistical methods and interpretation of results. We additionally analysed the study regarding the risk of bias using the RoB 2 Tool. Finally we reviewed the influence of the pharmaceutical industry and potential conflicts of interest. RESULTS: We identified several shortcomings of the study concerning the study protocol, the participating clinics, the patient recruitment, the randomization pattern, the standardization of surgical treatment and histological examination, the statistical methods, the evaluation of the results and the influence of the pharmaceutical industry. According to the Cochrane RoB 2 Tool the study was judged to raise some concerns in three of the five risk domains for the outcome “overall survival”. CONCLUSIONS: Based on our review, the results of the CONKO-001-study should be revisited and critically reviewed. The recommendation to include adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine deserves a critical appraisal.
Two transition complexes based on 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid: Synthesis, structure and photocatalytic degradation of dyes

Published: December 2021

Metal-organic frameworks [Co(Hbidc)(H2O)2] (1) and [Mn(Hbidc)(H2O)] (2), with multidentate 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid (H3bidc) ligand, have been synthesized under hydro/solvothermal conditions and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrum, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the center Co atom of complex 1 is six-coordinated with three-dimensional supramolecular structure and center Mn of complex 2 is five-coordinated with exhibiting a 2D layered network. The photodegradation of Crystal violet dye and Methylene blue dye were studied firstly by complexes 1 and 2 as photocatalysts. Research result indicates that the degradation rate for complex 1 can reach 89.85% , 90.6% and that for complex 2 can reach 88.28% , 79.48%. At the same time, corresponding to photocatalytic kinetics was performed.

An agrobiological and techno-logical study of the Pamid grape variety was carried out during the realization of different variants of loading with winter eyes during pruning. An agrobio-logical and technological study of the Pamid grape variety was carried out during the realiza-tion of different loading variants with winter eyes during pruning. It has been established that the phenophases of development during the vegetation period occur and take place al-most simultaneously in the same time periods, and the grapes ripen during the first ten days of September. With the increase in the number of knots of a vine and with their lengthening, there is a well-defined tendency of reducing the percentage of developed winter eyes, fruit-ing shoots, weight per 1 cluster, less of reduc-ing the fertility rate. The vines grow well under the pruning loads of the four variants and the grapes manage to ripen. The best combination of sugar and titratable acid content for wine production is in the grapes from the variants with a load of 6 and 7 knots of a vine. The number of knots has a proven strong or moder-ate negative effect on the percentage of devel-oped eyes, fruiting shoots, bunches, fertility rate, weight of one cluster and 100 grains, dur-ing both years of the study. The increase in the number of knots is in a moderate, positive cor-relation with the yield of one vine.
Diagnosis of Diabetes Using Naïve Bayes Classifier Method
Authors: Tasya Ardhian Nisaa  , Shavira Maya Ningrum  , Berlianda Adha Haque
Published: December 2021

Not a few people suffer from diabetes, diabetes is usually caused by genetic inheritance from parents
and grandparents. Not only from heredity but many criteria or characteristics can determine a person has
diabetes. This research was conducted by looking for a dataset on Kaggle that contains criteria for someone
diagnosed or undiagnosed with diabetes such as age, gender, weakness, polyuria, polydipsia, and others.
Furthermore, from these criteria, predictions are calculated using the Naive Bayes classification method
where this method is one of the data mining techniques. This prediction calculation uses the Python
programming language. From these criteria, each criterion is grouped with similarities and the results of
the program that have been made can diagnose someone with diabetes. The prediction calculations that have
been carried out have resulted in 90% accuracy, 93% precision, 89% recall, 92% specificity, and 91%

Published: December 2021

Integrated System for Online Competency Certification Test (SITUK) is an application used to carry out
the assessment process (competency certification) at LSP (Lembaga Sertifikasi Profesional) UPN (University
of Pembangunan Nasional) “Veteran” Jawa Timur, each of which is followed by approximately five hundred (500)
assessments. Thus the data stored is quite a lot, so to find data using a search system. Often, errors occur
in entering keywords that are not standard spelling or typos. For example, the keyword "simple," even though
the default spelling is "simple." Of course, the admin will get incomplete information, and even the admin
fails to get information that matches the entered keywords. To overcome the problems experienced in
conducting data searches on the SITUK application, we need a string search approach method to maximize the
search results. One of the algorithms used is Levenshtein which can calculate the distance of difference
between two strings. Implementation of the Levenshtein algorithm on the data search system in the SITUK
application has been able to overcome the problem of misspelling keywords with the mechanism of adding,
inserting, and deleting characters.

The purpose of this article is to establish the role of state regulation and management in the field of forest relations in order to ensure effective protection, proper protection, rational use and reproduction of forests. Define the powers of state bodies through which the state manages forest resources. Identify forest management functions. To analyze the main tasks of state regulation and management in the field of forest relations. Method. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and generalization of available scientific and theoretical material and the formulation of relevant conclusions and recommendations. The following methods of scientific cognition were used during the research: terminological, logical-semantic, functional, system-structural, logical-normative. Results. As a result of the study, it was found that in our country there is a very extensive system of control of government agencies over activities in the forest sector. But its effectiveness is low, because illegal deforestation is carried out en masse, and the authorities that are supposed to monitor it do not seem to notice anything, or officials who depend on the solution of a particular issue decide them in their favor, not in favor of the state. Such cases are not uncommon - mostly mass. Therefore, we need to change and improve this control system - otherwise we may be left without forests. This in turn affects the ecological environment of citizens and their lives and health. Scientific novelty. In the course of the research it was established that the system of state management of forest resources is inefficient and needs to be improved. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in law-making and law enforcement activities during the implementation of measures for the protection, use and reproduction of forests.

Let the community formulate and implement the types of development activities and how to implement them. Based on this description, the objectives of this research are as follows: (1) To describe local wisdom as development capital in the study of social reality in Aceh Besar Regency.

Published: December 2021

Over the past 50 years, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has become the preferred minimally invasive method of treating a vast array of pancreatobiliary diseases. An initial sine qua non for ERCP success is selective ductal cannulation. Despite significant progress in the optimisation of ERCP methods and accessories, selective biliary cannulation using conventional techniques remains unsuccessful in approximately 15% of native papilla cases. Furthermore, difficult biliary cannulation has been associated with an increased risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis, among other adverse events. Here, in the first of a two-part series, the authors provide a primer on standard biliary cannulation techniques and discuss the definition, risk factors, and implications of difficult biliary cannulation. The second part of the series will provide an overview of the existing advanced techniques used in cases of difficult biliary cannulation as well as the approach to their selection.
