Hand Over Hand by A. Fullerton
Authors: MacLeod Lorisia
Published: August 2020

Fullerton, Alma. Hand Over Hand. Illustrated by Renné Benoit. Second Story Press, 2017.

Award-winning author of A Good Trade and In a Cloud of Dust, Alma Fullerton returns with another excellent picture book about a young Filipina girl who goes against gender stereotypes to go fishing with her grandfather. In Hand Over Hand, Nina convinces her grandfather, Lolo, to take her out fishing and with her determination and Lolo’s support she manages to catch a large fish. The story is portrayed through simple phrases with occasional onomatopoeia in large contrasting font on Benoit’s soft watercolour images to invoke a quietly empowering story.

I would recommend this book for educators and librarians not only because of the non-tokenizing nature of the representation of the Philippines or the theme of gender equality but also because of the way the illustrations and the story blend together to create a perfect storytime book for early readers to share or read alone. The illustrations are rich enough that early level readers will be entertained while the repetitive nature of the phrases and the vocabulary make it an excellent choice to grow a reader’s confidence. It also has the potential to be laddered into an activity where learners create a story of their own and use watercolours to illustrate their story which could appear to higher-level educators looking for an English and/or Art project for their classes.

How Do You Care for a Very Sick Bear? by V. Bayer
Authors: Laskosky Jenn
Published: August 2020

Bayer, Vanessa. How Do You Care for a Very Sick Bear? Illustrated by Rosie Butcher. New York: Macmillan Publishing, 2019.

Vanessa Bayer’s How Do You Care for a Very Sick Bear? provides young readers with advice on how to deal with and help their friends who are facing a difficult illness. The book offers suggestions and advice for young children, but also reminds them that even though their friend is sick, they are still their friend. Bayer’s story provides examples of the simple gestures that friends can make when helping each other.

The illustrations by Rosie Butcher are bright, colourful, and simple. Butcher illustrates common activities that friends would do together, which makes them relatable to children even though the characters are bears. The illustrations take up most of the page and provide young readers with a lot to explore. The text throughout the book is simple and easy to read.

Bayer’s story tackles a difficult topic, but she presents it in a way that is easy for children to understand. Her use of bears as her main characters helps to soften the impact of a difficult topic to approach with children. However, Bayer is also honest with her portrayal of illness, which offers children a realistic view of what to expect.

This book can be very useful for children who have a friend facing a difficult illness. Additionally, it can be useful to parents when explaining illnesses to their children. With that in mind, I would recommend it for elementary school and public libraries.

Sockeye Silver, Saltchuck Blue by R.H. Vickers & R. Budd
Authors: Borle Stephanie
Published: August 2020

Vickers, Roy Henry, and Robert Budd. Sockeye Silver, Saltchuck Blue. Illustrated by Roy Henry Vickers. Harbour Publishing Co. Ltd., 2019.

This picture book by Indigenous artist Roy Henry Vickers and author Robert Budd, is designed to teach young children about elements of nature found on the Canadian west coast. Roy Henry Vicker’s beautiful illustrations draw the reader’s attention to the main theme of each page (e.g., whales, sea stars, sunsets, mountains, snow, the northern lights). Each page has its own colour theme and a specific colour is always mentioned (e.g., “yellow salmonberries", “purple sea stars”, “sunset red”). There are textured images allowing children to touch and feel something on every page. The book is printed on thick board pages, making it resistant to wear and tear and easier for young readers to flip through on their own. The colours and illustrations are vivid and are engaging for both children and adults. Most of the vocabulary is appropriate for younger readers, while the more difficult words serve as an opportunity to learn the names of west coast plants and animals, the names of different colours and the use of adjectives.  In addition, the book has an abundance of words that start with the letter “s” which makes it a valuable resource for children who need practice producing the “s” sound. This book is recommended for teaching children, as young as two, about nature, and it should be available in school and public libraries.

Fish Oil Production Process From Waste Catfish (Pangasius Pangasius) in Balai Besar Pengujian Penerapan Hasil Perikanan (BBP2HP) East Jakarta
Authors: Febrianto Ramdhan , Sudarno Sudarno
Published: August 2020

Processing by product of catfish (Pangasius pangasius) on domestic scale or industrial produces many problems related to polluting the environment. Fish processing industry activities always generate waste because it is used generally only part of the meat, head, offal (entrails), spines and skin removed. Catfish have oil content is high enough, so the catfish waste has the potential to be extracted fish oil are rich in benefits. Fish oils generally contain unsaturated fatty acids are eicosapentaenoicacid (EPA) and docosahecsaenoatacid (DHA). Unsaturated fatty acids are known to prevent many diseases such as atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, lower blood cholesterol levels, cancer, platelet mellitus, diseases of the bone joints, asthma, and prevent the aging process. The purpose of Field Work Practice are learned the process of oil production fish waste from catfish (Pangasius pangasius). The Practice of Field Work has been carried out at the Balai Besar Pengujian Penerapan Hasil Perikanan (BBP2HP). The results obtained through observation, interviews and active participation in the manufacture of fish oil in BBP2HP includes the preparation of materials and tools, washing, weighing, heating, pressing, phase separation, making crude oil, and packaging. Raw materials used in the manufacture of oil is a waste of catfish (Pangasius pangasius). From 1 kg of waste catfish (offal, belly flap, head, fins, tail) obtained 116 ml crude fish oil. Section waste catfish has gone through the process of steaming and pressing which causes the water content there in is reduced. After that, the catfish oil packed in bottles.

Published: August 2020

Aim: In this research xylovolatile aromatic compounds were determined to highlight any compositional differences between wines aged in barrels and those produced using oak chips.Methods and results: Approximately 200 wines aged using oak chips or wood barrels were analysed, among which about 50 were aged at the experimental winery of the Research Centre of Viticulture and Enology in Asti (Piedmont, Italy). 17 different types of commercial oak chips were used in order to obtain a subset of reference samples. Several factors were considered, including degree of oak wood toasting, wood geographical origin and the type of wine (both red and white). Sample preparation for GC-MS analysis was performed by single-step solid phase extraction, using polymeric SPE cartridges. More than 60 volatile molecules from oak were identified. Analytical results were explained using multivariate statistical analysis. A preliminarily step was carried out using principal component analysis (PCA), which showed interesting compositional differences between barrel and chip-aged wines with regards to methylvanillate, ethylvanillate, as well as furan derivative compounds. Further statistical analysis highlighted the clear impact of the type of wine (red or white) on the extraction of xylovolatile compounds from oak chips. Subsequently, in order to test if and how the selected chemical explanatory variables allow wine treatments to be discriminated, and to predict which group a new observation will belong to, a discriminant analysis (DA) was carried out on an independent dataset. More than 96 % of samples were correctly classified.Conclusions: Significant differences were highlighted between barrel- and chip-aged wines with regards to xylovolatile compounds. The analysis showed that several factors may influence the amount of aromatic compounds extracted from chips and barrels, especially the matrix composition. It was possible to deduce the aging process that the wines had undergone by selecting key molecules using multivariate methods.Significance and impact of the study: Via a suitable GC-MS method and a chemometric approach for the identification of discriminant xylovolatiles in wood aged wines, this study offers promising perspectives and useful tools for routine fraud inspection aiming at classifying wines according to their aging process.
Le polymorphisme génétique des principales lactoprotéines bovines. Relations avec la quantité, la composition et les aptitudes fromagères du lait
Authors: GROSCLAUDE F.
Published: August 2020

Quatre des six protéines principales du lait de vache (caséines αS1, βet κ et β-lactoglobuline) présentent dans les populations au moins deux variants génétiques identifiables par électrophorèse. L’inventaire de ce polymorphisme a été effectué dans 21 races bovines françaises, où les variants les plus fréquents sont αS1 -Cn B et C pour la caséine αS1 , (β-Cn A1 , A2 et B pour la caséine β, κ-Cn A et B pour la caséine κ, et β-Lg A et B pour la β-lactoglobuline. Les particularités biochimiques des principaux variants sont connues. Les gènes de structure des caséines αS1, αS2, β et κ sont très étroitement liés, de sorte que l’unité génétique de transmission est l’haplotype, combinaison comprenant un allèle de chacun des quatre locus. Le locus de la β-lactoglobuline a un effet majeur sur le taux de cette protéine dans le lait (β-Lg A > β-Lg B), qui se répercute sur le taux d’ensemble des protéines du lactosérum. Ces différences étant compensées par des différences en sens inverse du taux de caséine totale, l’allèle β-Lg B a un effet favorable sur ce taux de caséine et sur l’indice de caséine du lait (+ 2,5 à 3 %). Par rapport au variant κ-Cn A, le variant κ-Cn B confère au lait de meilleures aptitudes fromagères : temps de coagulation et temps de raffermissement du caillé plus courts, caillé mieux réticulé et plus ferme, et, pour certains types de fromages, rendement de fabrication supérieur (4 à 8 % entre les laits des deux homozygotes). Les effets du variant β-Cn B vont dans le même sens que ceux du variant κ-Cn B. L’intérêt et les conditions d’une prise en compte de ce polymorphisme dans la sélection laitière restent à évaluer.
Alimentation des volailles : substituts au tourteau de soja. 1. Les protéagineux
Authors: LACASSAGNE L.
Published: August 2020

L’utilisation des protéagineux dans l’alimentation du poulet de chair ne pose pas de problèmes particuliers une fois corrigée leur déficience en acides aminés soufrés. Incorporés dans des proportions allant de 20 à 35 %, ils constituent d’ores et déjà une bonne source de protéines en remplacement du tourteau de soja. Le contenu en énergie métabolisable et la digestibilité des protéines du pois et de la féverole sont accrus par les traitements thermiques et mécaniques. il en est autrement pour l’alimentation des poules pondeuses où seul le pois peut être largement utilisé et apporter jusqu’à 30 % de la matière azotée totale. Le pois est en outre favorable à la qualité organoleptique de l’œuf. La féverole, au contraire, du fait de l’action défavorable de la vicine et de la convicine sur le poids de l’œuf, ne peut être utilisée à des taux supérieurs à 7 %. Elle accroît légèrement la qualité de l’albumen mesurée en unités Haugh mais tend à augmenter la fréquence des taches de sang dans les oeufs. La limite d’utilisation du lupin dans l’alimentation des pondeuses se situe autour de 10 %, taux au-dessus duquel peut apparaître une insuffisance en tryptophane. Des trois protéagineux envisagés, le lupin, du fait de sa richesse en protéines, est celui dont l’emploi se trouve le plus nettement limité par sa faible teneur en cet acide aminé.
Estimation de la composition tissulaire des carcasses de porcs : récapitulatif de diverses méthodes utilisables en expérimentation
Authors: DESMOULIN B. , ECOLAN P. , BONNEAU M.
Published: August 2020

La mesure directe de la composition tissulaire des carcasses, par dissection anatomique complète, est longue et coûteuse. On se contente donc en général d’estimer les teneurs en muscles et en gras à partir de mesures indirectes : épaisseurs de gras ou de muscles, poids des pièces de découpe, résultats de dissections partielles et/ou simplifiées. A partir des données mesurées sur deux échantillons de carcasses porcines, nous avons élaboré quatre scénarios de mesures, de complexité et de coût croissant. Ils permettent d’estimer avec une précision croissante les poids et proportions de muscles et de gras dans la demi carcasse ainsi que le pourcentage de muscles dans la carcasse entière, correspondant à la norme européenne à la base du classement commercial des carcasses porcines. En fonction de ses objectifs et de l’enveloppe financière dont il dispose, l’expérimentateur peut choisir l’une ou l’autre des méthodes proposées. Les équations des 2 scénarios les plus simples sont bien adaptées aux carcasses dont les teneurs en muscles sont aux alentours de 50 %, mais devront être réévaluées pour s’adapter aux types génétiques produisant des carcasses au-delà de 52-53 % de muscles. Les 2 scénarios les plus complexes ont par contre un domaine de validité plus large.
Nouvelles méthodes utilisées pour améliorer les performances de reproduction chez les ovins
Authors: COGNIÉ Y.
Published: August 2020

Les périodes d’anœstrus (saisonnier ou post-partum) et le faible taux d’ovulation limitent l’efficacité de la reproduction chez la brebis. Cet article résume les recherches récentes effectuées dans le but d’améliorer les paramètres de la reproduction dans différents systèmes de production. Plusieurs méthodes sont disponibles pour synchroniser les chaleurs. Le choix de la méthode doit dépendre du système de lutte utilisé et du niveau de prolificité souhaité par l’éleveur. Les avantages découlant de l’utilisation de la technique associant un progestagène à PMSG sont présentés. Cette technique permet avec succès la mise en place de l’insémination artificielle, mais une réduction de la variabilité du moment d’ovulation doit être recherchée. Afin d’éliminer les problèmes liés aux difficultés de passage des spermatozoïdes à travers le cervix, l’insémination utérine sous contrôle cœlioscopique est proposée, surtout lorsque de la semence congelée est utilisée. L’induction d’ovulations fertiles pendant l’anoestrus saisonnier peut également être obtenue en utilisant "l’effet bélier" associé à un traitement progestagène et/ou à des manipulations de la photopériode ou de la mélatonine. Le taux de prolificité peut être augmenté par injection de gonadotropines (PMSG ou pFSH) ou immunisation contre les stéroïdes. L’immunisation active contre l’androsténedione permet d’obtenir entre 18 et 40 % d’agneaux nés en plus chez les brebis traitées de différents génotypes et dans différents systèmes de conduite des troupeaux. Chez la brebis Charmoise immunisée pendant 4 années successives à l’automne, un gain moyen de 0,31 agneau sevré a été obtenu. L’importance des pertes embryonnaires précoces, d’origine non génétique, peut être minimisée par l’apport de progestérone exogène ou la stimulation de la sécrétion endogène de progestérone par les gonadotropines. L’estimation du nombre de foetus effectuée en milieu de gestation par échographie permet d’adapter les rations des mères à leurs besoins et de réduire la mortalité périnatale des agneaux.
Composition chimique et contamination butyrique du lait : facteurs de variation dans le département de la Haute-Loire
Authors: COULON J.B. , LILAS J.P.
Published: August 2020

145 exploitations laitières du département de la Haute-Loire utilisant de l’ensilage d’herbe ont fait l’objet d’une enquête détaillée concernant à la fois la structure de l’exploitation et du troupeau, les pratiques alimentaires et les conditions de traite et d’hygiène des animaux. Ces données ont été analysées en liaison avec les variables caractérisant la composition chimique du lait et sa contamination en spores butyriques. Les écarts observés d’une exploitation à l’autre pour ces variables sont importants : respectivement 6 et 5 g/l entre les étables extrêmes pour les taux butyreux et protéique à l’échelle de l’année, la contamination butyrique variant de 300 à 16 000 spores/l. Les écarts de composition chimique sont principalement expliqués par les 3 facteurs suivants : type de ration de base, race des animaux et période de vêlage. Les écarts de contamination butyrique sont d’abord liés au type de ration de base utilisé (importance de l’ensilage d’herbe dans la ration) et à la propreté des animaux et des bâtiments. Peu d’exploitations appliquent l’ensemble des précautions nécessaires à l’obtention d’un lait peu contaminé en spores butyriques.
Alimentation énergétique de l’oie reproductrice
Authors: SAUVEUR B. , ROUSSELOT-PAILLEY D. , LARRUE P.
Published: August 2020

Cinq essais consécutifs ont été réalisés dans un dispositif d’élevage en extérieur comprenant 12 parquets de 15 oies et 5 jars (race landaise) afin de déterminer le besoin énergétique de ces animaux et les effets sur les performances de différentes concentrations énergétiques de l’aliment (de 2100 à 2800 kcal Energie Métabolisable/ kg). ). Le besoin énergétique journalier est de 800-850 kcal E M par oie « servie » (avec 1/3 jars) en saison normale et peut-être plus proche de 900 kcal E M en hiver très froid. Distribués à volonté, les régimes les plus concentrés sont défavorables à la reproduction, l’oie adulte régulant mal son ingéré énergétique en fonction de la teneur du régime. A l’inverse, dès lors qu’ils sont rationnés pour assurer strictement le besoin, les régimes « haute-énergie » permettent une amélioration de la fertilité (+ 7 à + 20 %) et une importante économie d’aliment (- 20 %). Cette pratique semble favoriser également la suppression de verdure fraîche dont l’apport peut représenter une contrainte lorsque l’oie n’a plus accès à des parcours.
Quel est l’impact économique d’une mauvaise fertilité chez la vache laitière ?
Authors: BOICHARD D.
Published: August 2020

L’importance économique de la fertilité chez la vache laitière est estimée par modélisation. La fertilité est mesurée par le taux de conception moyen de l’élevage. Un modèle est tout d’abord construit pour déterminer l’espérance de revenu prévisionnel d’une vache, conditionnellement au taux de conception moyen de l’élevage. Cette espérance est maximisée par programmation dynamique, méthode permettant d’optimiser la conduite du troupeau. Le coût marginal d’une baisse du taux de conception est ensuite estimé par la différence entre les espérances de revenu prévisionnel d’une génisse prête à mettre bas, rapportée à la différence entre les taux de conception correspondants. L’estimation obtenue est minimale et n’inclut pas l’effet d’une éventuelle conduite non optimale. Elle est globale et intègre toutes les conséquences de la baisse de fertilité sur le taux de réforme, sur les lactations en cours et futures, ainsi que les frais immédiats. Le coût marginal ainsi déterminé est assez stable et ne dépend que de deux types de paramètres : il diminue lorsque la fertilité moyenne de la population augmente ou lorsque les conditions de renouvellement sont plus favorables (valeur à la réforme élevée, valeur d’une génisse de renouvellement faible). Dans les conditions françaises actuelles, la valeur de 1 point de taux de conception est comprise entre 10 et 20 FF par vache et par an selon ces paramètres.

The Use of Novel toTeach English Culture
Authors: Setyoningsih Setyoningsih
Published: August 2020

Learning language is considered as learning its culture since language is part of culture.  This article talks about the use of novel as one of literature to learn culture of other countries. The object of the study is a novel Not Without my Daughter (NW) by William Hoffer and Betty Mahmoody which is based on the true story of Betty Mahmoody, an American woman who was trapped in Iran society with her daughter. This novel is chosen because it reflects the social and cultural conditions of people, who come into contact with other cultures. The analysis was carried out through the following process i.e. (1) categorizing the data; (2) interpreting the data; (3) drawing conclusion. The result shows that cultural conflicts occurred because of friction of different cultures between Betty’s cultures, in this case America, and Iran culture. The cultural aspects causing conflicts found in NW were belief, custom and habit, uses of time, law, dress and body language. By analyzing cultural conflict in the novel, students can get a better understanding of other cultures and increase their cultural awareness.
Hedges in Arabic Language that Occured in Daily Conversation in Family Domain

Published: August 2020

The phenomena of hedges are commonly found and used by the people in their daily communication. Hedges expressions are kind of expressions which are showing a doubtness or an uncertainty of the speaker towards a proposition they uttered. Hedging can be defined as a mitigating device that is used to reduce the impact of an utterannce. It is kind of rhetorical strategy. People may have their own reason why they use hedges in their utterance. Hedges have some functions such as to reduce threat face, to serve politeness strategy and to being more price. This research use a qualitative research which only focus in analysing the use of hedges that occured in daily conversation in arabian family domain. The result of this research indicate that there are some hedges device expression in arabic language such as ‘taqribaan’ which means ‘around’, ‘aro’ that means ‘I think’, and ‘qobaltu’ which means ‘I guess’.

This research sheds a light on students’ problems on writing English paragraphs, the special attention would be given to the way students generating proper vocabulary and lexeme and the word orders.  The researchers attempt to reveal the relationship between students’ learning preferences during the process of English learning in senior high school and the error being produced while producing the academic texts or paragraphs.This is a survey research by employing 50 students as the research subjects from department of Elementary School Teacher Training and Mathematic Education of University of PGRI Yogyakarta. They are, both female and male, from various background and amount of exposure to English. Students were asked to produce four paragraphs, narrating the process of English learning during the high school. The errors are classified into errors in diction and error in word orders. The researchers make relation between the error and the learning styles being implemented during the school process. The results would be descriptively explainedBased on the research results, it is revealed that Kinesthetic was the most-used method by the students who have the highest level of English comprehension. The reason is that the students are scaffolding, doing something to support the learning process. So, the learning goals are easily comprehended. It is strongly suggested that the teachers do carefully consideration to find the best approaches to teach materials by recognizing all students learning preferences in a classroom.

Case:

Isolated popliteus tendon avulsion is an extremely rare injury with no consensus in the literature, regarding the therapeutic approach. In our case, the patient presented with rotational instability of the knee, and he was treated surgically. A fully arthroscopic technique with suture anchors was used, and this is the first report of such a repair in the literature. Knee stability was successfully restored, and the patient remains asymptomatic 2 years postoperatively.

Conclusion:

Isolated popliteus tendon avulsion can result in knee instability. Arthroscopic repair with suture anchors is an efficient way of treatment.

Background:

The sagittal-plane curvatures of the human spine are the consequence of evolution from quadrupedalism to bipedalism and are needed to maintain the center of mass of the body within the base of support in the bipedal position. Lumbar degenerative disorders can lead to a decrease in lumbar lordosis and thereby affect overall alignment of the spine. However, there is not yet enough direct evidence that surgical restoration of spinal malalignment would lead to a better clinical outcome. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the correlation between patient-reported outcomes and actual obtained spinal sagittal alignment in adult patients with lumbar degenerative disorders who underwent surgical treatment.

Methods:

A comprehensive literature search was conducted through databases (PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Embase). The last search was in November 2018. Risk of bias was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale. A meta-regression analysis was performed.

Results:

Of 2,024 unique articles in the original search, 34 articles with 973 patients were included. All studies were either retrospective or prospective cohort studies; no randomized controlled trials were available. A total of 54 relations between preoperative-to-postoperative improvement in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and radiographic spinopelvic parameters were found, of which 20 were eligible for meta-regression analysis. Of these, 2 correlations were significant: pelvic tilt (PT) versus Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) (p = 0.009) and PT versus visual analog scale (VAS) pain (p = 0.008).

Conclusions:

On the basis of the current literature, lower PT was significantly correlated with improved ODI and VAS pain in patients with sagittal malalignment caused by lumbar degenerative disorders that were treated with surgical correction of the sagittal balance.

Published: August 2020

Background: The Prevalence of myopia is increasing in China. This study aimed to explore the distribution of spherical equivalent (SE) and its association with age, body mass index (BMI), gender in a non-myopic Chinese children population aged 6 to 12 years. Methods: A total of 6362 students were recruited for ophthalmological investigation. Demographic and myopia related behavioral information was collected. SE value was measured by the Topcon RM-8900 or KR-800autorefractors. Potential independent risk factors were determined with Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% Confidence Interval (CI) by logistic regression analysis. We further constructed the nomogram model to predict future onset of myopia.Results: Among the study population, 3900 (61.3%) were non-myopic. The prevalence of myopia is 38.0% for boys and 39.5% for girls. The average SE values were 0.50±0.70 D for boys and 0.60±0.80 D for girls. The mean SE values decreased with age, and the value of height and BMI took on a stable trend. Threshold values for myopia varied across age groups and gender. Paternal myopia (OR: 1.22, 95%CI: 1.01-1.48), near-work activities on weekends (2.56, 1.17-5.61), and outdoor activities (0.68, 0.54-0.86) were associated with potential myopic in students. Conclusion: A series of age-gender based SE threshold values were established to predict myopia in Chinese children aged 6 to 12 years. High risk factors for myopia included paternal myopia, near-work activities on weekends, and outdoor activities. Countermeasures are encouraged to reverse the increasing trend of myopia in children.

Background: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS)is a chronic inflammatory disorder involving the sacroiliac joints, that could lead to disability due to the failure of timely treatment. Therefore, early diagnosis is essential to for AS treatment. The lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) is an indicator of disease progression. However, its role in AS remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of LMR in AS diagnosis, disease activity classification and sacroiliitis staging. Methods: Seventy-eight AS patients and 78 sex and age matched healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled in this study. The diagnosis of AS was performed according to the New York criteria or the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) classification criteria, whereas the staging of sacroiliitis in AS patients was determined by X-ray examination. Comparisons of LMR levels between groups were performed using t test. Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis were used to assess correlations between LMR and other indicators. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to determine the role of LMR in the diagnosis of AS.Results: Higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), red blood cell distribution width(RDW), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR), mean platelet volume(MPV), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein(CRP) levels and lower red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), Hematocrit (Hct), LMR, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL) and albumin/globulin (A/G) levels were noted in AS patients compared to HCs. Positive correlations were observed between LMR and RBC, Hb, Hct and A/G, whereas negative correlations were found between LMR and NLR, PLR, AST, and TBIL (P< 0.05). ROC curves showed that the area under the curve(AUC) for LMR in the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis was 0.803 (95% CI =0.734-0.872) with a sensitivity and specificity of 62.8% and 87.2%, respectively, and the AUC (95% CI) for the combination of ESR, CRP and LMR was 0.975 (0.948-1.000) with a sensitivity and specificity of 94.9% and 97.4%, respectively. LMR levels were lower (P<0.05) and significant differences in LMR values were observed among different stages (P<0.05). Conclusions: Our study suggested that LMR could be an important inflammatory marker that can be used to diagnosis AS and identify disease activity and X-ray stage of sacroiliitis.
Orthogonal Approach to Independent Component Analysis Using Quaternionic Factorization
Authors: Borowicz Adam
Published: August 2020

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a popular technique for demixing multi-channel data. The performance of a typical ICA algorithm strongly depends on the presence of additive noise, the actual distribution of source signals, and the estimated number of non-Gaussian components. Often a linear mixing model is assumed and source signals are extracted by data whitening followed by a sequence of plane (Jacobi) rotations. In this article, we develop a novel algorithm, based on the quaternionic factorization of rotation matrices and the Newton-Raphson iterative scheme. Unlike conventional rotational techniques such as the JADE algorithm, our method exploits $4 \times 4$ rotation matrices and uses approximate negentropy as a contrast function. Consequently, the proposed method can be adjusted to a given data distribution (e.g. super-Gaussians) by selecting a suitable non-linear function that approximates the negentropy. Compared to the widely-used, the symmetric FastICA algorithm, the proposed method does not require an orthogonalization step and is more accurate in the presence of multiple Gaussian sources.
