Governance for Sustainability of Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Schemes (RWSS): Case from NAPA WASH
Authors: Adhikari Keshab Prasad
Published: March 2021

Water and sanitation are taken at the heart of achieving a number of goals and critical targets of sustainable development goals. But achieving sustained water and sanitation service in a rural context is problematic from the viewpoint of technical, financial, environmental, and social, and governance aspects of functionality. Therefore, good governance in the operation and management of rural water and sanitation schemes are a key component to determine the other aspects of functioning and longer-term sustainability. The study sees the working of five indicators of functionality, five layers of priority ranking indicators, four service indicators of quantity, accessibility, reliability, and quality (QARQ), and ten indicators of assessing governance level sustainability. In all aspects of assessment, most RWSS found to stand at the level of partial sustainability. This urged for giving higher priority to upgrading such schemes in the status of full sustainability.
Extracting Trading Locus: Where we are in Indo-Nepal Trade?
Authors: Kharel Khom Raj , Chalise Dhan Raj
Published: March 2021

Nepal and India have had trade relations since time immemorial. Nepal was known as an exporting nation in the ancient times. Before the trade agreement between Nepal-Britain Treaty in1923, Nepal's trade with India was more than 95 percent. Despite various treaties and agreements between Nepal and India, Nepal's trade with India now accounts for around 65 percent of total trade. Despite the trade and mutual relations between Nepal and India, India has been treating Nepal on the basis of benefits. In different time periods, India has been creating problems in trade and transit, contrary to international norms and trade and transit treaties, under various pretexts. The objective of this paper is to review of Indo-Nepal trade and transit treaties and analyzing the present status. Descritptive and analytical research design is applied and simple statistical tools are used to analyze the growth and direction of foreign trade of Nepal. Linear regression model is applied to measure the total trade with India and total volume of foreign trade of Nepal. This study has found that there has been significant contribution of total trade with India to the total volume of foreign trade of Nepal. The import trade of Nepal with India is extremely high in comparison to export trade and total trade balance and trade balance with India has been increasing with a huge deficit.
Conventional Farming Practices around Kathmandu Valley: An Appraisal
Authors: Kharel Suman , Marahatta Deepak
Published: March 2021

Conventional farming is a new area of research in developing countries. It is rooted in industrial agriculture andfocuses on production as heavily. It demands a high amount of chemical fertilizers. The research follows a case study under the interpretive paradigm using multiple sources of evidence such as interviews, observations, and surveys ofthe literature. Usual to most conventional practices, the local inbreeds of crops are replaced by high yielding varieties of crops. One of the main advantages of conventional farming is the application of a higher amount ofagricultural inputs. The study has shown that the availability of transport made it easy to reach products to the market and has contributed to increasing the income of the farmers. Inadequate knowledge of the use of fertilizers and pesticides results in the origins of new diseases in crops is a major challenge of conventional farming. This research concludes that commercial organic farming can be an alternative to conventional farming. The finding shows the need for agricultural training and capacity building of farmers and also the need to provide subsidies so that farming will be more lucrative.
Impact of Remittance on Economic Development of Nepal
Authors: Acharya Rameshwar
Published: March 2021

This study assesses the impact of remittance on Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Gross National Product (GNP) and Per Capita Income (PCI) of Nepal employing multiple regression method on national annual time series data for a period of 41 years (from 1974/75 to 2014/15). The results show that there is positive impact of remittance on GDP, GNP and PCI. Further, the findings clearly provide an evidence of predictive power of fixed capital formation on economic development. But the role of export could not be established. Finally, to foster the economic development, it is suggested that the government should initiate policy to channelize the remittance income into the productive uses by offering attractive investment schemes to the remittance receiving families.
Contemporaneous Relationship between Trading Volume and Stock Returns Volatility : Evidence from Nepalese Stock Market
Authors: Shrestha Shivaram
Published: March 2021

This paper examines the contemporaneous relation between trading volume and stock returns volatility for Nepalese stock market using monthly data for the period 2005 mid-July to 2017 mid-April. The study uses ordinary least square method and analyzes whether rising price leads to higher volume or vice versa. The study also investigates the association between trading volume and stock returns volatility based on monthly data of NEPSE index and examines the effects of trading volume on stock returns volatility using GARCH (1, 1) model. The study finds positive contemporaneous relationship between trading volume and stock return volatility. The study result indicates that the relationship between trading volume and return volatility is asymmetric. The findings strongly support the hypothesis that higher trading volume is associated with an increase in stock return volatility, but offers little support to the sequential arrival hypothesis and the mixture of distribution hypothesis. Finally, the findings support the weak-form efficient market hypothesis in Nepalese stock market.
Pengaruh Religiostik, EWOM, Brand Image dan Attitude terhadap Purchase Intention
Authors: Purwianti Lily
Published: March 2021

ABSTRACTThe growth of the cosmetics industry in Indonesia is very encouraging for competition between cosmetic manufacturers in Indonesia. The cosmetic competition from South Korea increases the competition to be very complex. Indonesia, which is most important for Islam, poses a different challenge for cosmetic producers so that the religiosity factor must be considered. With the spread of the internet around the world, interpersonal communication has been reshaped from traditional face-to-face communication to a more virtual way of communication called electronic word of mouth (E-WOM), where consumers have a great opportunity to share information about their consumption experiences and for investment advice on products and brands using social networking platforms and consumer review sites. This study aims to study whether religiosity, EWOM, brand image, and attitudes influence purchase intention. The research sample is the people of Batam city who see cosmetics from South Korea. The number of samples in this study was 320 respondents with a purposive sample technique. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS) was used in this study. The results of this study are that religiosity affects attitudes and purchase intentions, EWOM affects attitudes and purchase intentions, and attitudes that affect purchase intentions. Everything else from this study is that brand image does not affect purchase attitudes and intentions.    Keywords: religiostic, EWOM, brand image, attitude, purchase intention

Antonio Gramsci and PostColonial Theory: “Southernism”
Authors: Brennan Timothy
Published: March 2021

Many of the debates in postcolonial studies—including the tone and ire of antagonistic positions within it—first emerged in the interwar period (1919–1945). The popularity of Antonio Gramsci in postcolonial theory is a muted consequence of this fact. He contains within him the anticolonial energies of a forgotten era, and he has come to represent a uniqueness of vision that was, in fact, not unique.
Beyond Gilroy’s Black Atlantic: The Experience of the African Diaspora
Authors: Chivallon Christine
Published: March 2021

It is beyond dispute that Paul Gilroy’s The Black Atlantic, published in 1993, marks an important turning point in the study of diasporas. And it is perhaps no exaggeration to say that, more than any other, this book embodies the theoretical positions associated with the rise of “cultural studies” in the 1990s. Gilroy develops Stuart Hall’s equally important and similarly innovative conception of diaspora. What these two works have in common is their application of new conceptualizations to the case of Africans in the Americas, who are figured for Gilroy as the “Black Atlantic” and for Hall as the “Afro-Caribbean.” What is most significant about both is that they make the people issuing from the painful experience of the Atlantic slave trade and subsequent slavery emblematic of a new way to think about diasporic peoples. While the Jewish people serves as the archetypical representation of the classical notion of diaspora, in Hall and Gilroy’s conception the Black peoples of the Americas offer the paradigm of a new notion of diaspora.1 We are thus witnessing a succession of two interpretations of the diaspora as a phenomenon. The first, here called the classic interpretation, rests on a set of criteria set forth by a good many authors (Safran; Sheffer; Bruneau; Tölölyan; Cohen, Global Diasporas). At its core is the powerful idea of a dispersed people whose unified consciousness is sustained despite the devastating effects of separation. The maintenance of a real or imaginary bond with the place of origin from which the exiled people was dispersed makes the construction of this unity possible. The classic model is strongly associated with the principles of a unified, solidary community and a thematic of territory and memory.
Home-Coming and Goings
Authors: Ishkanian Armine
Published: March 2021

Homecomings: Unsettling Paths of Return examines various types of return migration, including the return of war refugees, political exiles, and diasporics to their real or imagined homelands, as well as “roots tourism” and forms of long-distance nationalism that are collectively, if not precisely, referred to as “homecomings.” According to one of the editors, Anders Stefansson, return movements across time and space have been ignored in migration studies and social anthropology research because “going home” is perceived as an “antiprogressive, illogical, and illusory” practice that is “structurally invisible” (5). Stefansson adds that the analytical neglect of return migration is due to the fact that the conceptual and practical issues of homecoming have fallen at the margins of the “grand narratives” of migration research (i.e., assimilation, multiculturalism/diaspora, and transnationalism/globalization) and that return migrations are seen by some migration scholars as unproblematic and natural reinsertions into the “home” country. The other editor, Fran Markowitz, contends that Homecomings aims to move beyond the restrictive binaries of migration research that represent movements as emigration versus immigration, and/or as places of departure versus destinations, to explore the “messy points of convergence” that are created when individual and cultural beliefs and memories lead to movements toward places people consider their homelands. The volume not only aims to fill the gap in migration research but seeks to demonstrate that the “blessings of homecomings” are well worth the struggle and difficulties encountered by diasporics, political exiles, and war refugees who “go home.”
The Promise and the Perils of Dual Citizenship: The Case of Post-Communist Armenia
Authors: Ohanyan Anna
Published: March 2021

The politics of dual citizenship have been and remain a contentious issue throughout the world. Since the mid-twentieth century, dualcitizenship practices have evoked responses ranging from outright resistance to gradual liberalization in many countries, with the overall trend pointing toward the latter. Increasingly liberal dual citizenship laws are experiencing persistent growth worldwide (Howard 719; Faist, Gerdes, and Rieple 913; Martin 4; Feldblum 475).
Gabriel Sheffer and the Diaspora Experience
Authors: van Amersfoort Hans
Published: March 2021

Over the years, Gabriel Sheffer has written frequently on the significance of diasporas as political agents in the modern world (“New Field”; “Ethnic”; “Whither”; “Nation”). His 1986 article “A New Field of Study: Modern Diasporas in International Politics” describes the triadic network involving homeland, diaspora, and host country as the core of a new field of study; he adds that he is especially interested in analyzing this triad in the modern world (10). In his earlier contributions, he often makes explicit use of the term “modern diaspora” to mark the difference with “classical diaspora.” But, as befits a typical “long-sighted” person, his studies have broadened to include a great variety of diasporic situations in different historical settings.
Rethinking Diaspora(s): Stateless Power in the Transnational Moment
Authors: Tölölyan Khachig
Published: March 2021

Where once were dispersions, there now is diaspora. It may seem anachronistic to say so, since the Greek “diaspora” is the older term, and in its restrictive usage has been applied from Antiquity to Jewish, then also to Greek and Armenian, social formations. Yet the significant transformation of the last few decades is the move towards re-naming as diasporas the more recent communities of dispersion, those that were formed in the five centuries of the modern era and which were known by other names until the late 1960s: as exile groups, overseas communities, ethnic and racial minorities, and so forth.
“Will the Model Minority Please Identify Itself?” American Ethnic Identity and Its Discontents
Authors: Hsu Ruth Y.
Published: March 2021

Analyzing Lord Cromer s writings on the proper governance of Britain s colonial subjects in Egypt, Edward Said notes that one of Cromer s assumptions is that he, and the West in general, are able to divine the true nature of “the Oriental,” and so know him better than he knows himself. Said describes the assumption that undergirds this viewpoint as the conviction that “knowledge of subject races is what makes their management easy and profitable; knowledge gives power, more power requires more knowledge” (36). Indeed, the work of empire can be enhanced if the knowledge that the ruler defines as his exclusive realm is used not to put into place draconian laws or brutal armies, but rather to convince the native (who, according to Cromer, is “in statu pupillari”) that whatever the colonial master does is for the native s benefit. In short, knowledge is the key to power; and true power is held through the acquiescence of those who are ruled.
The taxonomic status of the vipers of the Pelias (kaznakovi) complex in the middle-flow of the Kura River basin in the East Transcaucasia

Published: March 2021

Recently, the Caucasian viper was found in a number of localities in South Ossetia (Tuniyev et al. 2017a,b; Tuniyev et al. 2019) and in the lower gate of the Borzhom Gorge of Eastern Georgia. Animals from the new localities are compared to Pelias kaznakovi from the Western Caucasus – northeastern Turkey and P. dinniki. The canonical discriminate analysis (CDA) showed that the snakes from the left-bank basin of the middle flow of the Kura River in East Georgia and South Ossetia differ significantly from Pelias kaznakovi from Krasnodar Territory and Abkhazia in the mean values of several plastic and meristic characters. Thus, there is discrimination of the groups allocated according to geographic location and gender. Cluster analysis based on meristic characters of pholidosis showed the distance between P. dinniki and the remaining “kaznakovi” complex forms. Based on the results of the analysis of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, the snakes from the left-bank basin of the middle flow of the Kura River form a separate cluster, not sister to Pelias kaznakovi. The results obtained on morphology, genetics and ecology of the studied vipers suggest the taxonomic validity of the vipers from the left bank basin of the middle flow of the Kura River in Eastern Georgia and South Ossetia. The species is named after Boris Tuniyev, who made a significant contribution to the study of the Caucasian herpetofauna and taxonomy of the shield-head viper snakes. Among the representatives of the “kaznakovi” complex, males of the new species are characterized by the minimal values of body length, pileus length, head width, number of ventral and subcaudal shields, as well as the shields around the eyes; differences are also noted in the structure of the hemipenis; the females have the minimum values of body length, pileus length, head width, number of shields around the eyes and loreals, fewer wings of zigzag. All known finds are located in the left bank basin of the middle flow of the Kura River from the Borzhom Gorge (east slope of Meskheti Ridge) in Georgia to the mid-altitude mountain districts of South Ossetia (east foothills of Likhsky Ridge and south spurs of Central Caucasus). Biotopes of the new species are character- ized by more xero-mesophilic traits and a moderately warm mezo-climate than the typical mesophilic biotopes of North-Colchian (Krasnodar Territory – Abkhazia) and, especially, Adzharo-Lazistanian (Georgia – Turkey) P. kaznakovi living in the humid subtropical climate.
A new species of Gymnelus (Perciformes, Zoarcidae) from Greenland, similar to G. viridis
Authors: Chernova N.V. , Møller P.R.
Published: March 2021

Zoarcid fishes of the genus Gymnelus Reinhardt inhabit the shelves of the North Pacific Ocean and the Arctic. A new species, G. pseudosquamatus sp. nov., is described from trawl samples taken at depths off South-West Greenland. It is most similar to the type species of the genus, Common Fish Doctor G. viridis, inhabiting the coastal waters of Greenland. The characters of the latter are specified on materials from the type locality, including the neotype and specimens of J.C.H. Reinhardt. Both species are in the group of Gymnelus with an interrupted supratemporal commissura, two supratemporal sensory pores (1+0+1), and a dorsal fin originating above the pectoral fin. The two species differ in a complex of characters, including habitus. In G. viridis, the trunk is roundish in cross section, highest above the beginning of the anal fin; the anterior rays of the dorsal fin are shortened, and covered with a thick and somewhat fleshy skin. In G. pseudosquamatus, the body is compressed and deeper anteriorly, the dorsal-fin rays are evenly elongated, and the fin membrane is thin. Differences in counts and measurements are statistically significant, including the number of vertebrae and rays in the dorsal, anal and pectoral fins, the number of teeth on the jaws, as well as the length and depth of the head, predorsal length, the length of pectoral fins, eye diameter and length of the gill slit. The color of G. pseudosquamatus, with 8–16 wide brown mottled bands, is also unusual, as the skin is dotted with light speckles that create the illusion of tiny scales, which is the reason for the name “pseudosquamatus”, the Deceptive Fish Doctor. While G. viridis is found inshore in a zone of macroalgae, the new species is found in deeper waters (100–457 m) along the shelf edge of South-West Greenland. The name Ophidium stigma Lay et Bennett, 1839 (=Gymnelus stigma) should be excluded from the synonymy of G. viridis, since the original description mentions the presence of scales on the body, which are absent in Gymnelus.
Remains of large mammals from the Epigravettian site of Yudinovo
Authors: Sablin M.V. , Iltsevich K.Yu.
Published: March 2021

The Epigravettian site of Yudinovo (Bryansk oblast, Russia) was discovered in 1930 by K.M. Polikarpovich. It is located in the Sudost’ river valley and has a unique stratigraphy. This article presents the results of the study of the remains of large mammals from Yudinovo and also discusses their significance in revising the former interpretation of the existence of the site during the very end of the final part of the Late Pleistocene. In total, 38 268 mammalian bones were identified from cultural layers excavated between 1947–2019. The faunal assemblage is relatively small with a dominance of woolly mammoth and arctic fox, typical of a cold and dry tundra-steppe environment. We undertook stable isotopic tracking from samples of bones. Our analyses confirm the hunting of both adult and juvenile larger mammals by ancient humans. Based on the eruption sequence and wear of the milk teeth from young animals, we were able to clarify the season of their death. It seems that these individuals were hunted during the late spring or early autumn. Traces of gnawing by dogs were recorded on a few bones. We also present in this article the results of the study of so-called “dwellings”, constructed by stacking up body parts and bones that were extracted from carcasses of freshly killed mammoths. We interpret these structures as middens representing the remains of ritually deposited hunted game. It can be assumed that these “dwellings” were probably an important part of the socio-symbolic system of the peoples, who created them.
Faunal complex of the Early Pleistocene Muhkai 2 locality
Authors: Sablin M.V. , Iltsevich K.Yu.
Published: March 2021

The Early Pleistocene locality Muhkai 2 was discovered in Central Dagestan, northeastern Caucasus, Russia, in 2006. Archaeological investigations of the site have been directed by Corresponding member of RAS H.A. Amirkhanov (Institute of Archaeology RAS, Moscow). The article presents the results of the study of osteological material from the excavations of 2006–2017. The cultural layers with stone tools and mammal bones are found within stratum of brownish-grey petrified loams with reversed magnetization. We identified 14 large species of mammals, which are indicators for the dating of the faunal assemblage and crucial in identifying the specific characteristics of the natural environment at the time of site formation. Stenon horse and Etruscan wolf dominate the spectrum of species at Muhkai 2. All large mammal species from the site are inhabitants of open and semi-open landscapes and animals indicative of closed biotopes are absent. The biotope appears to have been a dry savannah-steppe with small areas of forest vegetation. The climate at this time was warm and quite arid. Most likely, the animals died here due to natural causes and their carcasses were buried at the bottom of an ancient, slightly saline and shallow, temporary body of water. Data from the theriofauna place the age of the site Muhkai 2 within the chronological range of 2.1–1.77 Mya.

Puskesmas Keranggan is one of the Puskesmas where the use of inpatient rooms is still done manually, without a system, so that medical personnel in different health services find it difficult to know the exact number of rooms that are still available. Therefore, Puskesmas Keranggan built a web-based information system that can be accessed quickly and easily using internet. The information system was built using the Laravel framework, Bootstrap, and MySQL. The web application is ready to use and has been built in accordance with the requirements.
LATE PLEISTOCENE SHASTA GROUND SLOTH (XENARTHRA) DUNG, DIET, AND ENVIRONMENT FROM THE SIERRA VIEJA, PRESIDIO COUNTY, TEXAS
Authors: Mead Jim I. , Schroeder Bryon A. , Yost Chad L.
Published: March 2021

We present new information about the Late Pleistocene Shasta ground sloth (Nothrotheriops shastensis). Spirit Eye Cave in the Sierra Vieja along the Rio Grande provides the newest evidence that the Shasta ground sloth inhabited further south in the mountains of the southwestern Trans-Pecos, Texas, than has been previously documented. The cave is one of only twelve known Nothrotheriops dung localities. During excavation of the cave, packrat middens and sloth dung were discovered. Two areas within the cave provide radiocarbon dated ground sloth dung and packrat midden macrobotanical remains which permit the reconstruction of the sloth diet and local biotic habitat at 30,800 and 12,900 calibrated YBP. The local community at 30,800 calibrated years ago was a pinyon-juniper woodland with yucca, sandpaper bush, globemallow, cactus, and barberry in the understory based on the packrat midden from the cave. The dung contents indicate that the diet of the sloth included C3 and C4 grasses along with Agave. Data for the local vegetation community and sloth diet from 12,900 years ago indicate that during this late glacial time, the region was still a pinyon-juniper woodland but also contained Celtis, Quercus, and Larrea, among other taxa.

Multi-objective QPSO for short-term load forecast based on diagonal recursive neural network
Authors: Zhang Lan , Xu Lei
Published: March 2021

The short-term load forecast is an important part of power system operation, which is usually a nonlinear problem. The processing of load forecast data and the selection of forecasting methods are particularly important. In order to get accurate and effective prediction for power system load, this article proposes a hybrid multi-objective quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm for short-term load forecast of power system based on diagonal recursive neural network. Firstly, a multi-objective mathematical model for short-term load forecast is proposed. Secondly, the discrete particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to select the characteristics of load data and screen out the appropriate data. Finally, the hybrid multi-objective QPSO algorithm is used to train diagonal recursive neural network. The experimental results show that the hybrid multi-objective QPSO for short-term load forecast based on diagonal recursive neural network is effective.

Authors: Ge Liang , Chen Enhong
Published: March 2021

Stored-grain temperature is the most important factor in grain storage. According to the measured data, the temperature in the grain pile can be effectively predicted, which can find problems in advance, reduce grain loss and increase grain quality. Long Short-Term memory (LSTM) can perform better in longer sequences than ordinary RNN. This paper is applied to the analysis of big data of grain storage and the early warning of grain storage temperature. In this paper, the selected LSTM is optimized and the early warning model of grain situation is established, and the analysis steps of the early warning model are given. In order to verify the availability of the improved LSTM network structure, RNN and three variants were used to predict the grain temperature under the same conditions, the prediction effect of the improved CLSTM is better.
Multi-objective optimization of the suspension parameters in the in-wheel electric vehicle
Authors: Li Ruihua
Published: March 2021

The hub motor significantly increases the unsprung mass of electric in-wheel vehicles, which deteriorates the ride comfort and safety of vehicles and which can be effectively improved by optimizing the main suspension parameters of vehicles reasonably, so a multi-objective optimization method of main suspension parameters based on adaptive particle swarm algorithm is proposed and the dynamic model of a half in-wheel electric vehicle is established. Taking the stiffness coefficient of the suspension damping spring and damping coefficient of the damper as independent variables, the vertical acceleration of the body, the pitch acceleration and the vertical impact force of the hub motor as optimization variables, and the dynamic deflection of the suspension and the dynamic load of the wheel as constraint variables, the multi-objective optimization function is constructed, and the parameters are simulated and optimized under the compound pavement. The simulation results show that the vertical acceleration and pitch acceleration are reduced by 20.2% and 18.4% respectively, the vertical impact force of the front hub motor is reduced by 3.7%, and the ride comfort and safety are significantly improved.
Unified multidisciplinary modeling and simulation analysis of internal power system
Authors: Chen Guojin , Chen Chang , Yuan Yiming , Yue Yishuai
Published: March 2021

The internal combustion power equipment is a typical cyber-physical system (CPS). The traditional design method is to separate the information system from the physical system, and then to simulate and optimize separately every system. That can not achieve the best performance. Aiming at the internal combustion power equipment with multi-disciplinary deep integration, this paper establishes the multi-disciplinary model of the whole and key components based on Dymola software. There are mainly mechanical system, combustion system, cooling system, control system and other simulation models, including deceleration and fuel cut-off control unit modeling, start-stop control unit modeling and speed limit control unit modeling. The performance of each model is simulated and analyzed. The mathematical models of engine characteristic curve and fuel supply rate curve are established through experimental study. Finally, taking the simulation model of automobile power system as an example, the simulation calculation and experimental verification are carried out, and the relationship among fuel supply rate, torque, speed and valve of internal combustion engine is obtained, as well as the cooling capacity of the cooling system is studied. The experimental results show that the maximum error between the simulation speed curve and the actual speed curve is within ± 2 km/h. The research results of this paper can provide theoretical basis for multidisciplinary modeling and simulation of internal combustion power equipment, and also provide technical support for performance analysis of internal combustion engine.

Existing blockchains, especially public blockchains, face the challenges of scalability which means the processing capacity will not get better with the addition of nodes, making it somewhat infeasible for mobile computing applications. Some improved technologies are known to speed up processing capacity by shrinking the consensus group, increasing the block capacity and/or shortening the block interval. Even these solutions are met with major problems such as storage limitations and weak security. To face the realistic application scenarios for blockchain technology in the mobile realm, we propose a new public blockchain designed based on sharding, aggregate signature and cryptographic sortition which we call SAC. In SAC, the transaction rate increases with the number of shards while the length of the consensus signature is a constant. Meanwhile, in SAC, the assignment of consensus representatives is controlled by a verifiable random function, which can effectively solve the problem of centralized consensus. In addition, this paper analyzes the performance of SAC to give adequate comparison with other sharding technologies while also giving a rational security analysis. Our experimental results clearly show the potential applicability of this novel blockchain protocol to in mobile computation.

Word embeddings have been successfully applied in many natural language processing tasks due to its their effectiveness. However, the state-of-the-art algorithms for learning word representations from large amounts of text documents ignore emotional information, which is a significant research problem that must be addressed. To solve the above problem, we propose an emotional word embedding (EWE) model for sentiment analysis in this paper. This method first applies pre-trained word vectors to represent document features using two different linear weighting methods. Then, the resulting document vectors are input to a classification model and used to train a text sentiment classifier, which is based on a neural network. In this way, the emotional polarity of the text is propagated into the word vectors. The experimental results on three kinds of real-world data sets demonstrate that the proposed EWE model achieves superior performances on text sentiment prediction, text similarity calculation, and word emotional expression tasks compared to other state-of-the-art models.

BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation has proven effective in improving motor symptoms (i.e., weakness, tremor, gait and balance disorders) in patients with Functional Motor Disorders (FMDs). Its effects on non-motor symptoms (NMSs) such as fatigue, pain, depression, anxiety and alexithymia, have not been explored yet. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of a validated inpatient 5-day rehabilitation program, followed by a home-based self-management plan on functional motor symptoms, NMSs, self-rated perception of change, and quality of life (QoL). METHODS: 33 FMD patients were enrolled. Measures for motor symptoms and NMSs were primary outcomes. Secondary outcomes included measures of self-perception of change and QoL. Patients were evaluated pre-treatment (T0), post-treatment (T1), and 3-month follow-up (T2). RESULTS: There was an overall significant decrease in functional motor symptoms, general, physical, and reduced-activity fatigue (for all, p < 0.001). Post hoc comparison showed significant improvements at T1, whereas effects remained significant at T2 for motor symptoms and physical fatigue. Gait and balance, alexithymia, and physical functioning (QoL) significantly improved at T2. More than 50% of patients reported marked improvement at T1 and T2. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests the benefits of rehabilitation and self-management plan on functional motor symptoms and physical fatigue in the medium-term. More actions are needed for the management of pain and other distressing NMSs in FMDs.
Depression and its Association with Vitamin D Deficiency: A Review
Authors: Shoukry Heba Samy
Published: March 2021

Depression is a common psychological disorder and a major health issue. Many socioeconomic, environmental and genetic factors contribute to the onset and progression of depression. In recent years, the deficiency of vitamin D has emerged as a possible predisposing factor responsible for the manifestation of depression. In this review article, the causes of depression are briefly reviewed with a special focus on the association between vitamin D and depression. In recent years, the association between vitamin D and depression has been extensively investigated; still, the mechanism that governs this association is not fully understood. An understanding of the underlying biological processes and mechanisms through which vitamin D exerts its role will help in understanding the predisposition towards depression and the amelioration of depressive symptoms.

Background: Recent advances in the treatment of breast cancer (BC) have been related to the personalization of therapy. The methylation status of the promoter regions of tumor suppressor genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 is supposed to be useful as a prognostic factor in BC patients. Aim: To investigate the frequency of hypermethylation in the promoter regions of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in tumor tissue of BC patients, and the relation of hypermethylation to the clinical course of the disease. Materials and Methods: Molecular genetic studies were performed on 50 BC tissue samples in order to determine the methylation status of the promoter regions of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Results: Hypermethylation of the BRCA1 promoter region was detected in 34% of BC cases, hypermethylation of the BRCA2 promoter region — in 50% of cases, and hypermethylation of the promoter region of both genes — in 20% of cases. A significant increase in the incidence of hypermethylation of the BRCA2 promoter region was found in the group of patients older than 56 years, mainly in patients with triple-negative breast cancer and without family history of BC. Conclusions: The high frequency of hypermethylation in the promoter regions of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, as well as their co-methylation in tumor tissue of BC patients has been detected.
