A Taxonomy of Unintended Negative Consequences: A Qualitative Study Examining Diet and Fitness Apps in the Context of Eating Disorder Behaviors (Preprint)
Authors: Eikey Elizabeth Victoria
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

Diet and fitness apps are intended to improve people's health. However, they can have adverse effects on some populations, such as young people. Young people, particularly college women are heavy users of mobile health applications (apps) for diet, physical activity, and weight loss (also known as diet and fitness apps). These apps are often promoted in university and college settings and touted as a means to improve health with little attention given to their actual impact and potential unanticipated negative effects, especially among those at risk for or with eating disorders.

OBJECTIVE

Few researchers have studied how diet and fitness apps affect college women with eating disorder behaviors. Thus, this research investigates the unintended negative consequences of engaging with these tools to inform how these types of apps may trigger and exacerbate unhealthy app engagement as well as eating disorder-related behaviors.

METHODS

This study used a qualitative approach to better understand the consequences of using diet and fitness apps among college women. This approach allowed for emergent themes unlikely to be discovered using quantitative approaches. Data collection sessions consisted of three components conducted with 24 college women with eating disorder-related behaviors who have experience with diet and fitness apps: survey (demographic and eating disorder symptoms), think-aloud exercises, and semi-structured interviews.

RESULTS

Findings reveal that diet and fitness apps trigger and exacerbate symptoms through focusing heavily on quantification, promoting over-use, and providing certain types of feedback. A taxonomy of eight negative consequences was developed based on these findings. The types of unintended consequences include: 1) fixation on numbers, 2) rigid diet, 3) obsession, 4) app dependency, 5) high sense of achievement, 6) extreme negative emotions, 7) motivation from negative messages, and 8)excess competition. Although these themes were very common when users' focus was to lose weight or eat less, these adverse effects were also prevalent when users wanted to gain weight, eat more, or focus explicitly on eating disorder recovery.

CONCLUSIONS

Unintended negative consequences are linked to the quantified self movement, conception of appropriate usage, and visual cues and feedback. Thus, this paper critically examines the design of diet and fitness apps and offers suggestions for improvement and then discusses implications for educators and clinicians. Ultimately, this research emphasizes the need for a fundamental shift in how diet and fitness apps promote health. This work also showcases how focusing on specific subpopulations can shed light on problematic aspects of design that if addressed may have a positive impact on the broader user base.

Adjuvant Alpha-Fetoprotein-Derived Peptide After Transarterial Chemoembolization in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Protocol for a Safety Study (Preprint)
Authors: Nomura Akihiro , Terashima Takeshi , Mizukoshi Eishiro , Kitahara Masaaki , Murayama Toshinori , Kaneko Shuichi
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a worldwide health concern because of a continued increase in cases globally; furthermore, the prognosis for patients with HCC remains poor. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been established as the standard of care for the intermediate stage of HCC; however, no therapeutic agents are available to reduce the high rate of recurrence.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to evaluate the safety of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-derived peptides for patients with HCC post-TACE.

METHODS

This will be an open-label, single-arm, multicenter study to evaluate the safety of AFP-derived peptides (AFP 357 and AFP 403), which contain histocompatibility antigen-A24-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte epitopes from tumor antigens expressed in HCC and is recognized at a high rate by lymphocytes in patients with HCC. Protocol treatment will consist of six courses of the subcutaneous administration of 3 mg each of AFP 357 and AFP 403. A total of 14 patients will be included in this study, the first 6 as a main analysis target group and an additional 8 as an extended cohort from three institutions in Japan. The primary endpoint will be the occurrence of serious adverse events (safety profile). The secondary endpoints will include time to progression, overall survival, completion rate, and adverse events (efficacy profile).

RESULTS

We have recruited 14 patients with HCC as of December 2019. The final follow-up will be completed by March 2020.

CONCLUSIONS

In this study, we will evaluate the safety profile of AFP-derived peptides for patients with HCC post-TACE. We believe that this study will provide useful information and will help to design a subsequent phase II trial based on the results.

E-cigarette Risk Factors and Effects on Adolescent Health in the United States
Authors: Armstrong-Mensah Elizabeth Afibah , Woolcock Deja , Jeon Jennifer Jisoo , Gaur Puru
Published: November 2019

Despite their adverse health effects, e-cigarette use has increased considerably among adolescents (people aged 10-19 years) in the United States. This is due to a number of factors including peer pressure, the availability of a variety of e-liquid flavors, the targeted marketing of these products to adolescents, and the belief by adolescents that e-cigarettes are less harmful to health than tobacco products. Just as traditional tobacco products, e-cigarettes have been found to be harmful to health and responsible for multiple adverse health conditions in adolescents, including inhibited growth and development, poor mental health, certain cancers, lung damage, nicotine dependency, future drug use, and social stigmatization. While the United States government realizes the harmful effects of e-cigarettes on adolescents, and although it has put in place certain policies to regulate the issue, e-cigarette use continues to be a public health problem among adolescents. This article discusses e-cigarettes, their use, risk factors, and health effects on adolescents in the US. It also proposes strategies for safeguarding adolescent health.
El camino de Sísifo y la nostalgia reflexiva en el cine de Juan José Campanella
Authors: Hortiguera Hugo
Published: November 2019

Tomando como referencia herramientas de la geografía crítica, los estudios culturales, de política y de urbanismo, este artículo propone explorar la cuestión de los espacios urbanos representados en dos productos fílmicos de Juan José Campanella: Luna de Avellaneda (2004) y Metegol (2013). Se presta especial atención al contexto de producción de las películas y se analizan también la recurrencia de ciertas “ficciones orientadoras” (Shumway, 1993), la construcción de sus límites imaginarios y las relaciones que los personajes tienen con ellos. Se concluye que ambas películas proyectan reconstrucciones simbólicas de larga data sobre su sociedad, al tiempo que exhiben sus luchas irresueltas y debaten un sentido de pertenencia comunitario.
La ciudad y los sentidos: las sensaciones como imágenes del espacio y de las afecciones en el cine argentino contemporáneo
Authors: Dipaola Esteban Marcos
Published: November 2019

Las relaciones cine y ciudad son constitutivas, porque el cine surge como experiencia urbana. El cine contemporáneo se constituye desde la dimensión de una imagen-espacio. De acuerdo con la división efectuada por Gilles Deleuze, el cine clásico se constituía desde la imagen-movimiento y el cine moderno desde la imagen-tiempo; pero la contemporaneidad expresa las imágenes de la espacialidad en el cine. En este artículo se analizan películas recientes del cine argentino, que permiten una reflexión desde las imágenes sobre las sensaciones del recorrido urbano. En el abordaje aparece la noche, el verano y el calor como modos de circulación de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, pero exponiendo con ello la posibilidad de una comprensión de las imágenes de lo urbano mediante las sensaciones que atraviesan los tránsitos: el agobio, la humedad, los vapores y olores y las memorias fantasmáticas de encuentros y desencuentros que constituyen una ciudad.
Límites a la domesticación: usos obligados, reticencia y austeridad en la apropiación de la telefonía móvil
Authors: Sandoval Luis Ricardo , Cabello Roxana
Published: November 2019

Los enfoques socioculturales para el estudio de los procesos de apropiación de tecnologías resaltan la posibilidad de que un dispositivo tecnológico no sea utilizado siempre de los modos previstos. A partir de un conjunto de entrevistas en profundidad realizadas a usuarios adultos de teléfonos móviles, en este artículo se analizan los límites y resistencias que se plantean a algunos aspectos de su utilización, relacionados con tres cuestiones: la percepción de que ciertos usos no son de libre elección, sino que se explican por presiones externas; el rechazo a destinar montos que se entienden injustificados para la adquisición de las terminales más sofisticadas y la crítica a formas de uso que se consideran excesivas. Estos hallazgos subrayan que el proceso de domesticación de una tecnología, en este caso la telefonía móvil, nunca es lineal.
Por causa de uma cerca: Território e narrativa cisados pelo medo em O som ao redor e Historia del miedo
Authors: Sales Rocha Santos Fernanda
Published: November 2019

Será realizada uma análise comparativa entre o longa-metragem brasileiro O som ao redor (Kleber Mendonça Filho, 2013) e o filme argentino Bem perto de Buenos Aires (Historia del miedo, Benjamín Naishtat, 2014) por meio do estudo de como a temática da cisão territorial —tanto na Grande Buenos Aires, quanto em Recife—  se relaciona com a questão do ressentimento social e se reflete, de forma análoga, na estrutura narrativa e estética de ambos os filmes. Para tanto, será demonstrado como a fragmentação narrativa, em diálogo com elementos de uma tradição do horror, se vincula com a temática do ressentimento por motivos territoriais nos dois países. Diante das urgências das disputas pelo espaço que tanto o filme de Benjamín Naishtat quanto o de Kleber Mendonça Filho evocam, busca-se comparar os recursos narrativos para a abordagem de um impasse ancestral e central da América Latina: o impasse das cercas.
Introdução ao dossiê: A cidade no cinema argentino contemporâneo
Authors: Christofoletti Barrenha Natalia
Published: November 2019

O presente dossiê “A cidade no cinema argentino contemporâneo” busca pensar como se concebe e se percebe a cidade no cinema argentino da última década. No denominado nuevo cine argentino (NCA), surgido a meados nos anos 1990, o espaço urbano consolidou-se como um lugar privilegiado para se pensar as relações sociais, políticas e culturais da Argentina desse momento. No cinema argentino mais recente, após alguns anos de intensas modificações no panorama cinematográfico (com a consolidação das carreiras de diversos diretores e produtoras do nuevo cine e o incessante aparecimento de novos cineastas, estéticas e modos de produção), o espaço urbano ainda seria privilegiado?

AN OVERVIEW ON CURRENT REGULATION AND EVALUATION OF BIOCIDAL PRODUCTS
Authors: ŞAHİNER Aslı , YAPAR Evren ALGIN
Published: November 2019

A biocidal product is a substance or mixture prepared to limit, destroy, neutralize or control the effects of a harmful microorganism, plants and animals. The active substance in a biocidal product can be a natural oil or extract, a chemical substance or a microorganism, virus or fungus. Biocides consist of four main groups: disinfectants, preservatives (wood, paint, etc.), pest control and other type of biocidal products. A biocidal substance can also be added to a product to make the product itself into a biocidal product. These products range from disinfectants, hand sanitizers, preservatives, insect repellents, to rodenticides and insecticides and are used to protect humans, animals, materials and articles by controlling the intended target organism by a chemical or biological action. To make sure the use of biocidal products do not have unacceptable risks for people, animals and the environment, they are regulated to control their marketing, sale and use. In the current study biocidal products have been overviewed in the scope of current European Union regulations, product types and conformity tests.

POTENTIAL OF SNAKEHEAD FISH (OPHIOCEPHALUS STRIATUS) IN ACCELERATING WOUND HEALING
Authors: Tungadi Robert
Published: November 2019

Snakehead fish (Ophiocephalus striatus) (SF) is a type of fish that lives in fresh water and is widely known by the public. The properties and uses of SF have been scientifically proven to increase albumin levels and immune system as well as speed up the process of post-operative wound healing. The nutritional content of SF consists of albumin protein, amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids and minerals. Bioactive compounds that play a role in accelerating the wound healing process are albumin, glycine, and zinc (Zn). Wound healing is very dependent on the biochemical processes that occur on the skin involving intrinsic and extrinsic factors. This healing process will be accelerated with the help of dried SF extract which is designed in topical form such as cream or gel. Among albumin, glycine and Zn are important for wound healing because this protein is able to bind Zn and carry it in blood plasma. Zn deficiency reduces the wound healing process. Because of this nutrient, and other vitamins, it is present in SF extract so that it can trigger the formation of Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPC) and accelerate wound healing. The presence of Zn in SF extract is likely to be a key factor playing a role in wound healing and also increases the appetite of children. Zn is an important mineral in the structure and function of cell membranes. Zn supplementation can limit membrane damage which is caused by free radicals during inflammation. Furthermore, Zn is also involved in the immune system, from the defense system by the skin to the regulation of genes in lymphocytes.

ALCOHOL INFLUENCES AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR THAT INCREASES LIKELIHOOD OF INITIATING DATING VIOLENCE AMONG MALE YOUTH IN COLLEGES WITHIN WESTERN COUNTRIES: A SCOPING REVIEW
Authors: Anis Muhammad Ariff Aidil Bin Mohd , Pius Prince Cyrill Sim , Aslam Muhammad Shahzad
Published: November 2019

The youth demographic are often linked to alcohol consumption, and it is a widespread assumption that consuming alcohol will increase the likelihood of initiating violence. In the United States, alcohol is the most popular psychoactive drug used and contributes to 40% of violent crimes happening in the country. Among the many forms of violence, dating violence or interpersonal violence are often related to alcohol. Dating violence is often caused by male partners. 20% to 30% of male college students physically abuse their dating partners. Thus, this review study proposes the influence of alcohol on behaviour on male youth in Western colleges and the likelihood of dating violence to emerge. Online journals involving alcohol and violence among male college students in Western countries are searched on PubMed. The Western country selected in the studies found is the United States. The studies chosen were randomised and quantitative studies. Hence, the review hopefully serves as a trigger for future policies to consider the dangers of intoxication more seriously and more research should be done regarding the relationship between alcohol and violent behaviour so that interpersonal violence among adolescents can be reduced.

Albinism in Orange-footed Sea Cucumber (Cucumaria frondosa) in Newfoundland
Authors: Montgomery Emaline M. , Small Tiffany , Hamel Jean-Francois , Mercier Annie
Published: November 2019

Orange-footed Sea Cucumber (Cucumaria frondosa; Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) is a dark-brown species that is broadly distributed in North Atlantic and Arctic waters. Here, we document the rare occurrence of colour morphs showing various degrees of albinism, from totally white to faint orange pigmentation. These unusually coloured individuals were found across a broad distribution range in eastern Canada and northeastern United States, with their occurrence in Newfoundland samples ranging from 0.2% to 0.5%. Two fully albino individuals were noticeably smaller than other colour morphs. The occurrence of rare, unusually coloured sea cucumbers is important from an ecological standpoint and may also have commercial implications.
Adsorption-desorption behaviour of clomazone in Regosol and Chernozem agricultural soils
Authors: Djurovic-Pejcev Rada , Radmanovic Svjetlana , Tomic Zorica , Kaludjerovic Lazar , Bursic Vojislava , Santric Ljiljana
Published: November 2019

Studies of adsorption and desorption of pesticides by soils are important for understanding and predicting their fate and transmission in the environment. Considering the agricultural and environmental relevance of clomazone, its sorption?desorption behaviour was studied in two widespread Serbian agricultural soil types named Regosol and Chernozem. Both phenomena are well-described by the Freundlich equation, which shows that clomazone is generally sorbed more to organic matter than to the mineral soil fractions. Chernozem, a soil containing more of both organic matter and clay, was found to bind more, and desorb less herbicide, than Regosol. Higher desorption hysteresis obtained for Chernozem could be attributed to its larger number of high- -energy sorption sites, compared to Regosol. In both soils, the hysteresis effect increases with the rise of initial clomazone concentration in the soil-water system, while the percentage of desorbed amount during successive desorption cycles decreases. The presented adsorption?desorption study shows that soil composition plays an important role in clomazone behaviour and fate in the environment, and a significantly reduced probability of contamination of both the deeper soil layers and groundwater may be expected when this herbicide is found in humus-rich soils
Effects of Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy on Insulin Sensitivity and Incretin Responses in Transgender People

Published: November 2019

OBJECTIVE

The long-term influences of sex hormone administration on insulin sensitivity and incretin hormones are controversial. We investigated these effects in 35 transgender men (TM) and 55 transgender women (TW) from the European Network for the Investigation of Gender Incongruence (ENIGI) study.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Before and after 1 year of gender-affirming hormone therapy, body composition and oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) were evaluated.

RESULTS

In TM, body weight (2.8 ± 1.0 kg; P < 0.01), fat-free mass (FFM) (3.1 ± 0.9 kg; P < 0.01), and waist-to-hip ratio (−0.03 ± 0.01; P < 0.01) increased. Fasting insulin (−1.4 ± 0.8 mU/L; P = 0.08) and HOMA of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (2.2 ± 0.3 vs. 1.8 ± 0.2; P = 0.06) tended to decrease, whereas fasting glucose (−1.6 ± 1.6 mg/dL), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) (−1.8 ± 1.0 pmol/L), and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) (−0.2 ± 1.1 pmol/L) were statistically unchanged. Post-OGTT areas under the curve (AUCs) for GIP (2,068 ± 1,134 vs. 2,645 ± 1,248 [pmol/L] × min; P < 0.01) and GLP-1 (2,352 ± 796 vs. 2,712 ± 1,015 [pmol/L] × min; P < 0.01) increased. In TW, body weight tended to increase (1.4 ± 0.8 kg; P = 0.07) with decreasing FFM (−2.3 ± 0.4 kg; P < 0.01) and waist-to-hip ratio (−0.03 ± 0.01; P < 0.01). Insulin (3.4 ± 0.8 mU/L; P < 0.01) and HOMA-IR (1.7 ± 0.1 vs. 2.4 ± 0.2; P < 0.01) rose, fasting GIP (−1.4 ± 0.8 pmol/L; P < 0.01) and AUC GIP dropped (2,524 ± 178 vs. 1,911 ± 162 [pmol/L] × min; P < 0.01), but fasting glucose (−0.3 ± 1.4 mg/dL), GLP-1 (1.3 ± 0.8 pmol/L), and AUC GLP-1 (2,956 ± 180 vs. 2,864 ± 93 [pmol/L] × min) remained unchanged.

CONCLUSIONS

In this cohort of transgender persons, insulin sensitivity but also post-OGTT incretin responses tend to increase with masculinization and to decrease with feminization.
Multidisciplinary Management and Pulp Vitality Preservation of a Tooth With Extensive Iatrogenic Furcal Root Perforation and Biologic Width Violation
Authors: Angerame D , De Biasi M , Franco V , Generali L
Published: November 2019

This article describes the case of a vital molar tooth with a vast furcal iatrogenic root perforation and biologic width violation, which was successfully managed by a multidisciplinary approach aimed at preserving pulp vitality. The root perforation was cleaned and then sealed with mineral trioxide aggregate, which was positioned onto the pulp at the canal orifices. After one month, the patient was not reporting symptoms, and the tooth was positively responding to the thermal test. The tooth was orthodontically extruded, subjected to minimally invasive crown lengthening, and prepared to receive a full-crown restoration. Radiotransparent composite resin was chosen as a permanent restorative material to better monitor possible endodontic complications at the coronal level. The patient's tooth was followed up for eight years uneventfully. The present case is an example of the possibility to subject a root-repaired tooth with fully formed apices to conservative yet complex multidisciplinary treatment while maintaining pulp vitality.
A Two-year Clinical Comparison of Three Different Restorative Materials in Class II Cavities
Authors: Balkaya H , Arslan S
Published: November 2019

Objectives:

The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the clinical performance of Class II restorations of a high-viscosity glass ionomer material, of a bulk-fill composite resin, and of a microhybrid composite resin.

Methods and Materials:

One hundred nine Class II restorations were performed in 54 patients using three different restorative materials: Charisma Smart Composite (CSC; a conventional composite resin), Filtek Bulk Fill Posterior Restorative (FBF; a high-viscosity bulk-fill composite), and Equia Forte Fil (EF; a high-viscosity glass ionomer). Single Bond Universal adhesive (3M ESPE, Neuss, Germany) was used for both conventional and bulk-fill composite resin restorations. The restorations were evaluated using modified US Public Health Service criteria in terms of retention, color match, marginal discoloration, anatomic form, contact point, marginal adaptation, secondary caries, postoperative sensitivity, and surface texture. The data were analyzed using the chi-square, Fisher, and McNemar tests.

Results:

Eighty-four restorations were evaluated at two-year recalls. There were clinically acceptable changes in composite resin restorations (FBF and CSC). In addition, no statistically significant difference was observed between the clinical performances of these materials in terms of all criteria (p>0.05). However, there was a statistically significant difference between the EF group and the FBF and CSC groups in all parameters except for marginal discoloration, secondary caries, and postoperative sensitivity (p<0.05).

Conclusions:

The tested bulk-fill and conventional composite resins showed acceptable clinical performance in Class II cavities. However, if EF is to be used for Class II restoration, its use should be carefully considered.
CHAPTER 1 “Señor (Tales of Yankee Power)”: A Window into Bob Dylan’s Existential and Religious World
Authors: Aasgaard Reidar
Published: November 2019

“Señor (Tales of Yankee Power)” is a central song on Street-Legal, the album Bob Dylan released in 1978, a short time before his Christian conversion experience and the so-called Christian album trilogy of 1979–1981. Within the setting of a journey through a half-real, half-mythical landscape, the song describes an encounter between an I-figure, the singer, and his travel companion, a mysterious, silent “señor”, with the singer going through a process of growing frustration leading to a state of existential despair. The article gives a close, narrative reading of the lyrics and analyzes the song within the contexts of the album, of the development of Dylan’s religious language, of his performances of the song from 1978 to 2011, and of his own comments on it. The main conclusion is that “Señor” can be read in different ways, but that religion, and Christianity in particular, plays an important and integral part in the various readings. The song reflects Dylan’s artistic and personal situation at the time, also by foreshadowing his conversion experience, but at the same time belongs within a long trajectory of Dylan songs from the 1960s until today which deal with fundamental human themes related to history, society, social relations, religion, and life in general.
CHAPTER 5 The Visual Dylan: Religious Art, Social Semiotics and Album Covers
Authors: Winje Geir
Published: November 2019

The essay explores the cover art on 24 studio albums released by Bob Dylan since his debut in 1962, each one with a photo of the artist on the front cover. The photos are read chronologically in accordance with a social semiotic understanding. Any text, including such elements as names, album titles, song titles and motifs, but also formal means, e.g. compositions and geometric patterns underlying the compositions, are understood as meaningful utterances in their own right, not only as illustrations for other texts. The essay also maps out some parallels between the idol as a mediated person belonging to modernity and as a premodern religious concept. A not surprising finding is that parts of early Christian icon art are continued in modern photographic portraits. However, I have not found anything indicating that traces of early religious art are more prominent on Bob Dylan’s albums than on other albums.
CHAPTER 7 Hard Rain: The End of Times and Christian Modernism in the Work of Bob Dylan
Authors: Andersen Anders Thyrring
Published: November 2019

In Denmark it is still common to characterize Bob Dylan as a left wing protest singer. However, this view is unjustified. On the contrary, Christianity is central to his songwriting, and not only in the period around 1980, when he presented himself as a believing Christian. Religiosity is not only the basis of Dylan’s work from the debut in 1962 to today, but the very core of many of his songs. Sustained by a large number of quotes from, and references to, the Bible, the theme of the flood and judgement day is one of the themes running through Dylan’s songs, and, based on a belief in providence, it is used to criticize secular modernity. However, this criticism is formulated in a modernistic language of images, and therefore Dylan can be characterized as a Christian modernist. He can be compared to T. S. Eliot, and uses an indirect, dialogical and dialectical method reminiscent of Søren Kierkegaard: to speak of Christian belief in the language of modernity with the purpose of re-Christening modernity.
CHAPTER 8 Bob Dylan’s Ten Commandments – a Method for Personal Transformation
Authors: Myhr Petter Fiskum
Published: November 2019

Over the years, Bob Dylan has been able to go through many changes as an artist and as a person – always flexible, always in touch with his life, his aging, always true to himself, but not to his audience. While so many of us seem to stick to our old ways, Dylan has had this rare ability to keep on moving on, like a rolling stone. How has this been possible? In this chapter I present what I call Bob Dylan’s method for personal transformation. I have found ten commandments, or ten rules, that Dylan seems to be following. To show the importance of the commandments I assess Dylan’s method for personal transformation in relation to Philip Salim Francis’s research among 82 Evangelicals who underwent a sea-change of religious identity through the intervention of arts, published in the book When Art Disrupts Religion. Bob Dylan’s ten commandments are not only 10 great tools for a creative life, they are also a great roadmap for a flexible religious life and good medicine against all sorts of fundamentalism.

Behavior of HRES without and with Pitch Angle Control During Frequency Variations
Authors: Nihel Khemiri , Khedher Adel
Published: November 2019

This paper proposes the behavior of the hybrid renewable energy system, HRES, without and with pitch angle control during the variation in frequency. The HRES is a wind/PV one. The WG is based on a double fed induction generator (DFIG) when the rotor side converter (RSC) is used to connect the DFIG to DC bus voltage, put with a PV generator. The integration of the HRES in the grid introduces some problems such as the stability of the system and the quality of the injected power. This paper aims is to evaluate the ability of the HRES to remain connected to the grid following some disturbance, such as frequency variations. That is why the HRES will have to participate in primary frequency control. The only method of involving the HRES in the primary frequency control is to reduce the wind power captured by the wind turbine in order to increase the power in the event of a frequency drop.

Simulation results prove that the pitch angle control can keep the HRES connected to the grid during the frequency variations.
Design of Fuzzy Membership Functions for Predicting Student’s Knowledge Performance
Authors: Sani Salisu Muhammad
Published: November 2019

A Fuzzy logic controller is a problem-solving control system that provides means for representing approximate knowledge. The output of a fuzzy controller is derived from the fuzzifications of crisp (numerical) inputs using associated membership functions. The crisp inputs are usually converted to the different members of the associated linguistic variables based on their respective values. This point is evident enough to show that the output of a fuzzy logic controller is heavily dependent on its memberships of the different membership functions, which can be considered as a range of inputs [4]. Input membership functions can take various forms trapezoids, triangles, bell curves, singleton or any other shape that accurately enables the distribution of information within the system, in as much as the shape provides a region of transition between adjacent membership functions.

High-speed digital boards should be able to have integrity validation credentials within the framework of the specified criteria. In order to improve the simulation results, the package designer should consider the management of the radiation level at the board, which will reduce the time and cost of implementing the design and manufacturing process. In order to achieve this goal, the integrity (signal, power, heat, and data) is of great importance. With the modeling and analysis of the transmission line in one of the near paths of the clock to reduce electromagnetic interference, good results can be obtained from the correct operation of the board. Due to the nature and location of the components and the complexity of the input signals, it also increases the reliability of components and the tolerance of electromagnetic interactions, to evaluate the performance of the subsystem under the influence of radiation, various practical tests on the range and results was recorded.

En esta investigación se estudió el efecto de la gallinaza, porcinaza y alimento para ponedoras, sobre el crecimiento de larvas de mosca soldado; este último evaluado a través del cambio del peso, ancho y largo de las larvas. Los datos fueron analizados mediante modelos mixtos de coeficientes aleatorios, puesto que las variables fueron analizadas en el tiempo y se producen datos longitudinales. Se analizó el crecimiento de las larvas durante cuatro semanas y se observó que la alimentación con porcinaza produce larvas con menor desempeño en peso, largo y ancho, comparado con las alimentadas con gallinaza y alimento para ponedoras, los cuales no presentan diferencias significativas, lo que indica que la gallinaza y el alimento para ponedoras son más eficientes en términos de crecimiento. Es importante seguir realizando experimentos que evidencien que la gallinaza y el alimento para ponedoras son más apropiados para el crecimiento de las larvas de mosca soldado.

Introduction: To assess the agreement of the Scheimpflug camera system Pentacam with the optical low-coherence reflectometry (OLCR) device LENSTAR LS900 in measuring anterior segment biometry. Methods: This is a prospective, non- randomized, comparative analysis study. Patients with age-related nucleus sclerosis cataract who fulfilled the inclusion criteria and attended the Ophthalmology Clinic in University of Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) between December 2011 and March 2012 were recruited. The keratometer, anterior chamber (AC) depth and lens thickness were measured with both methods Pentacam and Lenstar. Results: 223 eyes of 125 patients were analysed. There was an agreement in the keratometer, anterior chamber depth and lens thickness measurement between the two devices. There was a significant correlation between K-reading as measured by both devices, at 0.05 significant level, with correlation coefficient of 0.904 and p < 0.001. The correlation coefficient of AC depth measurement between Pentacam and Lenstar at 0.05 significant level was 0.992 (p < 0.001). From the 124 eyes in which the lens thickness were measureable with both Pentacam and Lenstar, a positive correlation was noted (correlation coefficient of 0.585, p-value of < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the three parameters between males and females and among Malay, Chinese and Indian patients. Conclusions: There is a statistical agreement in the anterior segment biometry measurements between the Pentacam and the Lenstar.

Delayed neuropsychiatric sequelae is an important condition which commonly occur during recovery from acute carbon monoxide poisoning. Typical presentation would be apathy, disorientation, amnesia, hypokinesia, bizarre behavior, insomnia and neurological manifestations such as gait disturbance, hypertonia and tremor. We report here a case of a man presented with delayed neuropsychiatric sequelae one month after the carbon monoxide poisoning in his suicidal attempt. He presented with the typical presentation and diagnosis confirmed with the MRI findings. His MRI showed abnormal signal in subcortical hemisphere white matter of both temporo-fronto-parietal-occipital regions along the insula and both globus pallidus. He was treated with Olanzapine, Fluvoxamine, Chlorpromazine and Levodopa and his condition slowly improved. It is important for clinicians to recognize the symptoms and risk factors to develop delayed neuropsychiatric sequelae in patients who previously had carbon monoxide poisoning.

Published: November 2019

Intramuscular shoulder angiomyolipomas are very rare. We report a case in a 22-year-old male with a well circumscribed lesion located on the back of the shoulder. This lesion, differs from renal angiomyolipoma in terms of non-association with tuberous sclerosis, circumscription and male predominance. Another characteristic feature is the absence of epithelioid cells. Differential diagnosis includes lipoma, angiolipoma, angioleiomyoma, hemangioma, myolipoma and liposarcoma. It is distinguished from the above mentioned entities by the presence of a combination of thick-walled blood vessels, smooth muscle and fat.
