Drones Optimized Therapy System (DrOTS): Use of Drones for Tuberculosis Diagnosis in Nepal
Authors: Pudasaini Uttam
Published: December 2019

Over 50% of the total Nepalese population lives in hilly and mountainous areas with extremely poor transportation and access to health care facilities. With advanced health centers concentrated only in urban areas, and diagnostic laboratories not being present in most primary healthcare facilities, majority of people are forced to have to walk by foot, in an average 6-8 hours, to access proper healthcare facilities. Drone Optimized Therapy System, (DrOTS) aims to improve access to healthcare access in rural villages of Nepal. The pilot phase currently involved improving the accessibility of Tuberculosis diagnostic tests by linking communit y health workers (CHWs) with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools (GeneXpert) via drones in two municipalities of Pyuthan district, Nepal. The drones fly from central Hospitals to remote healthcare centers and bring back sputum samples for diagnosis. The purpose of this project is to assist the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) and National Tuberculosis Center (NTC) by generating the data necessary to assess the suitability of the drones-based services for nationwide expansion. The aerial distance between any two points being lesser than the actual road distance, drone technology has come out as a very popular tool in transporting medical samples/medicines between health centers. Drones can be used as crucial tools to connect primary healthcare facilities to hospitals by delivering patient information such as blood, urine, sputum, stool etc. samples required for diagnosis from primary facilities to hospitals, and medicines from hospitals to patients in nearby rural locations for treatment. The project team consists of multisector experts; Public Health- Birat Nepal Medical Trust (BNMT), Drones & Tech - WeRobotics, Nepal Flying Labs & DroNepal, Research: The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Govt. stakeholders: MoHP Nepal, the National TB Center and the District Public Health Office (DPHO Pyuthan) is supported by Stony Brook University and the Simons Foundation.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2019 Page: 14
Strategic Utilisation of Social Media in Risk Communication
Authors: Salim Faizul Nizam Abu
Published: December 2019

Social media is a communication platform which has witnessed an exponential growth in use and influence in recent years, democratising the communication process especially with the uprising of citizenship journalism and 24-hours journalism. It offers risk/crisis communicators a way of putting into practice those principles which are advocated in good communica t ion practices to be at the core of their risk management and communication practices; at a very low cost, with excellent access to public, great spread and immense speed of spread. Malaysia has an advantage in this area, given that the penetration of social media in the country is 75%, making it 7th overall in the world in January 2018. Approaching this ‘double edge sword’ nature of social media as opportunities rather than challenges, it can be well utilised in risk and crisis communication and help improve emergency preparedness and response, reduce costs of disaster, improve transparency of decisions, and increase the potential of acceptance of outcomes. First and foremost, it is an excellent listening tool to help ‘feel the pulse’ of the public, picking up risk incidents discussed in the social media realm as part of Early Earning Surveillance System (EWARS). It helps to bridge the polarisation and gap between the perception of the public and the perception of the authorities/regulators/experts is a key issue that need to be addressed well in risk communication. Risk and crisis communications are valuable to enhance preparedness and response as they help to raise the level of awareness of citizens and their capacity to take the appropriate measures. With emerging disease, chemica l or radiological threats or even a familiar yearly occurring risk like haze or floods, it is essential to identify effective risk communication strategies for informing both the public and professionals, to promote and achieve appropriate behavioural patterns that mitigate public health risks. The different types of social media and mobile messaging can be complementar y in risk and crisis management. The social networking media can help enhance coordination among volunteers and emergency services. At the same time, content sharing media can assist in conducting situational awareness as many users will share images or videos of how a crisis is evolving in real time. We have seen this umpteenth time, even in Malaysia especially in relation to big incidents that concerns many and evoked emotional response from the public. Examples from some case studies of real incidents will be used to illustrate this; as to share the best practices by the Ministry of Health Malaysia on how social media can be indeed used strategically in risk and crisis communication.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2019 Page: 20

Published: December 2019

Introduction: Obesity has been reported to impair male reproductive function and testicular apoptosis while bee bread has been traditionally consumed to enhance male fertility.Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of Malaysian bee bread on apoptosis and proliferation of testicular germ cells in high-fat diet-induced obese rats.Methods: Twenty-four adult male Sprague Dawley rats weighing between 250-300 g were randomised into four groups (n=6/group), namely normal control (NC), high-fat diet (HFD), HFD plus bee bread (HFD+B) and HFD plus an anti-obesity drug orlistat (HFD+O) groups. Bee bread (0.5g/kg/day) and orlistat (10 mg/kg/day) were suspended in distilled water and given by oral gavage for 12 weeks. Markers for apoptosis and proliferation of testicular germ cells were assessed.Results: mRNA transcript levels of caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, p53 and Bax/Bcl2 ratio in the testis of HFD group were significantly increased while immunohistochemical staining of cleaved caspase-3 increased and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) immunoexpress ions decreased relative to NC group. Treatment with bee bread significantly decreased the apoptotic markers, significantly decreased mRNA transcript levels of anti-apoptotic markers (Bcl2) and increased PCNA immunoexpression in HFD+B, relative to NC group and HFD+O.Conclusion: Bee bread improved proliferation of testicular germ cells by attenuating apoptosis in high- fat diet-induced obese male rats.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2019 Page: 44

Authors: Sallahuddin Muhammad Akmal , Sallahuddin MA , Rahman Nur Faraheen Abdul , Rahman NFA
Published: December 2019

Introduction: Ibnu Sina or Avicenna in “Asbab‑e‑Settah‑e‑Zaruriah” has pointed out that physical activity is one of the keys to a good health. However, urbanization has dawned upon the urban population and brought changes to their lifestyle. Among the change it brought is obesity. Obesity has been an epidemic with physical inactivity and unhealthy diet has taken the blame for this rising issue.Objectives: As sports facilities plays an integral role in providing urban dwellers with facilit ies for physical activity, this scanning review investigates how availability and accessibility of sports facilities affect the participation of the urban community in sports, a form of physical activity.Methodology: This article has been written based on papers found using Google Scholar from journals like Pubmed, Lancet, and others.Results: There was a total of 100 articles found and only 53 fit the criteria of the search.Conclusion: It can be concluded that most papers suggest that the participation of urban dwellers in a particular sport depends on the availability and accessibility of its sport facilit ies. However, from recent reading, there is no paper which concludes a direct relationship between the availability and accessibility of sport facilities and adult obesity in an urban environment. The implication is that we hope is to further comprehend the role of sports facilities as a working strategy to reduce obesity in urban areas with the help of technology and gamification of sports.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2019 Page: 58

Published: December 2019

An improved design of permanent magnet disk separator is proposed, which is designed for cleaning of ferromagnetic inclusions from bulk substances that transported by belt conveyor in order to improve unloading capability of separator. It is shown that use of permanent magnets made of various materials in disk separators leads to improvement of separator's operational characteristics, reduces energy consumption, dimensions and mass, and makes it possible to create a specific magnetic field topology. It is proved that installation of magnets which are differed by their magnetic properties on disk periphery leads to a decrease of radial component of magnetic force and decrease of exit speed of ferromagnetic inclusions from surface of rotating non-magnetic unloading disk. Research focused on distribution of force function in working area of improved design of disk magnetic separator. For this research a numerical finite element method implemented in software environment of COMSOLMultiphysics was applied. Magnetic force function acting on multidomain ferromagnetic particles was investigated. Due to complexity of force field spatial geometry in working area of disk magnetic separator, a three-dimensional computer model of disk magnetic separator was developed, its geometric characteristics and physical properties are described. Comparative analysis of force function distribution in working interval of disk separator is carried out. It has been established that application of improved design of disk magnetic separator can reduce rotation speed of non-magnetic unload disk, at which exit of ferromagnetic inclusions from its surface to unload zone is carried out.
The search for the power extremum of a photovoltaic cell by the pattern recognition technique by artificial neural networks.

Published: December 2019

As you know, there are several possible options for searching for the maximum power value — this is the use of fuzzy logic algorithms (Fuzzy Logic) and a neural network. However, there are also several ways to specify input information. The first method is called digital, when the neural network (namely, it is the object in this article that makes the search for the MMP value) receives the input values in the form of a digital array of power versus voltage P (U). These dependences, as a rule, are obtained by directly measuring the output voltage and current (I) of the regenerative energy sources and on the basis of these data for calculating the power. And the second method is called graphic and it is applied, first of all, when it is impossible or impractical to use the first method. The system operating according to this method is faced with the task of recognizing the maximum point having only a graphic object. This paper presents an example of the use of NN, which works according to the second method, to search for the value of the MMP in an electrical system with an alternative source of energy (solar panel). The neural network was built and trained in the Wolfram Mathematic application package.

The issues of improving the multifunctional converter unit of a combined power supply systemwith a photovoltaic battery, which is used for a local object together with an intelligent energy management system, are considered. A methodology for estimation the current value of the maximum power of a photovoltaic battery during operation based on the measured values of voltage and current and short circuit current is given. The principles of the implementation of the autonomous mode of a photovoltaic system in the absence of a battery are developed taking into account the current value of the maximum power of a photovoltaic solar battery and adjusting the load power. The possibility of using the autonomous mode to stabilize the voltage of consumers when the voltage deviates beyond acceptable limits is shown. The structure of power circuits and the control system of the multifunctional converter unit has been improved. The system provides for regulation of the load power and the photovoltaic solar battery depending on the ratio of power that is consumed and generated. This is done when the control system of the converter unit interacts with the intelligent controlsystem of the local object with the introduction of additional elements, which helps to eliminate emergency transients when switching operating modes and corresponding changes in the structure of the control system. The obtained solutions are the basis for the design of multifunction converters for systems with a photovoltaic battery with improved energy efficiency.

Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Modulates Electrical Behavior of the Neurons: Design and Implementation of a Model
Authors: Baniasad F
Published: December 2019

Abstract

Background: Recently, ultrasonic neuromodulation research has been an important and interesting issue. Ultrasonic neuromodulation is possible by the use of low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) to stimulate or inhibit the neural structures. The primary capability of this method is the improvement in the treatment progress of certain neurological and psychiatric disorders noninvasively. tFUS is able to modulate ionic currents and neural depolarization, causing the alteration in electrical properties of neurons.
Objective: The study aims to investigate the effect of tFUS waves on the electrical behavior of neurons using the simulation method.
Material and Methods: In the first part of this simulation study, the propagation of tFUS waves throughout the head was simulated to calculate the value of acoustic pressure at the cortex. In the second part, cortical neurons were simulated by a simple model of spiking neurons proposed by Izhikevich for three common dynamics. Then, the capacitance model was proposed to determine the alteration in the electrical behavior of the neurons during tFUS stimulation.
Results: At the resting state, the electric potential of the neuron’s membrane through the tFUS stimulation has an amplitude of about 30 mv with the similar oscillatory behavior of the acoustic waveform; while,the ultimate electrical behavior of the neuron’s membrane indicates a decrease in the electric potential when the neurons fire.
Conclusion: The electrical behavior of the neuron and the range of its membrane voltage modulated during ultrasonic stimulation. The reduction in the amplitude of membrane potential was observed while neuron spikes.

Published: December 2019

The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of acetyl acetone on Zinc (Zn) uptake and growth of Drumstick (Moringa oleifera) plants. Thirty seedlings were raised in hydroponic solution containing varied concentrations of Zn and acetyl acetone. The results showed a significant (p>0.05) change in weights of the plants when concentrations of Zn and acetyl acetone were added. Plants grown in treated hydroponics died before control plants. Zn uptake and accumulation were dose dependent with respect to addition of both Zn and acetyl acetone. The translocation factor decreased highly insignificantly (P>0.05) at lower concentration of Zn and significant at higher concentration in treated plants compared to control. The chlorophyll, carotenoid and proline content were severely decreased after addition of Zn and acetyl acetone, inducing toxicity symptoms. Thus, acetyl acetone did not play any significant role in alleviating Zn-induced toxicity.

One of the most important contamination problems in receiving bodies due to industrial activities is the presence of chromium (VI). One way to reduce the aggressiveness of said contaminant is its reduction to the form of chromium (III). The investigation determined the efficiency of magnetite nanoparticles in the treatment of soil contaminating with chromium (VI), to reduce it to chromium (III) of an Industrial Park at the district Cerro Colorado, province and department of Arequipa.22 samples of 1 kg of soil were taken, then homogenized according to the extraction distances, considering at the end only 3 samples called “Shore”, “6 Meters” and “9 Meters”, whose concentrations were: 146 mg / kg, 126 mg / kg and 67 mg / kg of Cr (VI) respectively. These samples were subjected to 3 treatments (T1, T2 and T3) with 3 repetitions each using 15, 30 and 45 grams doses of Magnetite nanoparticles for three weeks. At the end of the treatment using the EPA 3060 method, the Chrome (VI) analysis was performed. The 3 treatments “T1”, “T2” and “T3”, had significant differences for the final concentrations of Hexavalent Chromium in the soil; but it was in Treatment 3 in the soil samples "Shore", "6 Meters" and "9 Meters", where a greater effect was achieved in the reduction of Cr (VI) to Chromium (III) with an efficiency of 99.96%, 99.93% and 99.93% respectively, 45 grams of magnetite nanoparticles were used for this treatment.

A Network Theory Approach to the Sharing Economy
Authors: Soltész Petra , Zilahy Gyula
Published: December 2019

With the rapid growth of businesses in the sharing economy, evidence is accumulating regarding their underlying business models, growth patterns and other characteristics.This article demonstrates that a network theory approach can be useful for analysing the internal structure and other features of sharing economy platforms and the networks created by them. After introducing the most important concepts and theoretical considerations relating to the sharing economy, we analyse the data of a regional ride share company based in Hungary. Our analysis reveals an increasingly popular service, which is in a phase of rapid growth in terms of both the number of origin/destination settlements and the number of trips/passengers. Taking settlements as nodes and trips between them as edges we demonstrate that the network formed by them shows the characteristics of scale-free networks.Our findings may help company managers and policy makers to fine tune their decisions and indicate potential areas for further research directions to better understand the societal effects of the sharing economy.
