Impact of Air Pollution on Respiratory Health in Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder
Authors: Ganapathy Sankar U  , Monisha R
Published: October 2020

Air pollution is regarded as a significant global public health risk factor in cities around the world. It is considered as one of the highest-ranking environmental health challenges in the world, particularly in developing countries like India. Air pollution is a significant risk factor for the development of various lung disorders. World Health Organization (WHO) defined air pollution as the impurity in the environment in and around by the physical, chemical, or biological agent, which has changed the natural characteristics of the atmosphere. The environmental factors related to air pollution induces the risk of allergic asthmatic reaction and emergency intervention. According to the respiratory health investigation people who are exposed to vehicular pollution for a longer duration, are in a risk to develop asthma. The air pollutants rates were measured by using the application real-time air quality index in which the air quality rate is evaluated. We piloted ten children with DCD of age about 5 - 10 years were analysed with wrights’ peak flow meter. Results of the study predicted that there is a decrease in peak expiratory flow rate with the predicted value (.000) and increase in the shortness of breath questionnaire with the predicted value (.077) on comparing over air quality index. This study concludes that there is an impact of air pollution among children with DCD.
Partha’s covid 19 protocol – A preliminary pilot study in Indian patients
Authors: Parthasarathy S  , Chandramohan T
Published: October 2020

Covid 19 is a pandemic affecting many countries with countless deaths and morbidities. There are many drugs, and immune-boosting nutraceuticals developed to tackle the same. There are no strict guidelines still yet described. We propose a guideline or a protocol termed as Partha’s protocol to counter every type of patient and contacts. In our early preliminary pilot study of 76 patients which included contacts, all were segregated into groups and received the drugs according to the protocol from Categories A to D. The basic strategies like social distancing and face masks continued. We had 19 positive cases and the rest as contacts. There was a need for minimal oxygen in two patients. Otherwise, there was no mortality. Among the contacts, there were only a few people (4 in number ) who turned symptomatic, and none turned swab positive. This protocol seems to look like polypharmacy, but all these drugs were being used for different indications safely for many years. Hence it's unlikely to encounter any significant side effects. We also advise taking antibody titre of IgG in the post-exposure group. If it turns out to be positive, we suggest avoiding repeated quarantine on recurrent exposures. We did not measure viral load as we considered early symptoms with exhaustion as a marker. To wait for evidence and then to tackle contacts and less sick patients may be detrimental to countries like India because of its vast population.
Biogenic Amines Detection by Chromatography and Sensor Methods: A Comparative Review
Authors: Munir Muhammad Abdurrahman , Badri Khairiah Haji , Heng Lee Yook
Published: October 2020

Biogenic amines (BA) are chemistry compounds shaped by amino acids decarboxylation and exist in protein food and beverages. They are labelled toxic if consumed and some countries prohibit to consume them in high level especially histamine. Two major methods have been used and developed well such as chromatography methods and sensors methods. The common method applied for chromatography namely liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC) while for sensor methods such as optical, chemical and bio sensor. These methods have advantages and disadvantages. For chromatography methods, derivatization methods are required in order to improve their sensitivity and selectivity, nevertheless these methods are very expensive and time-consuming. During derivatization step, it needs more time and bear the risk of an only partial detection due to an incomplete derivatization. Furthermore, sensor methods exist to solve these issues, while they do not require derivatization step, generate a direct signal that can be interpreted by anyone, very fast and simple, yet they have disadvantages in several aspects such as sensitivity, accuracy and selectivity compared to chromatography methods. This review is based on studies about biogenic amines detection from the last decades until now and related to food and beverage samples. Although biogenic amines commonly found in protein-food for decades, new approaches and technical possibilities still required in order to increase the sensitivity, selectivity and accuracy of analytical methods to tackle the complexity by their matrices. The rationale of this study is also to provide data about the comparison of the analytical techniques between conventional and sensor methods. Furthermore, the various approaches of biogenic amines determination and the most applied analytical methods have been reviewed.

Psychological Adjustment of Chinese PhD Students: A Narrative Study
Authors: Yan Yang Chun , Bai Li
Published: October 2020

Aim/Purpose: International PhD students suffer a lot of stress. However, many studies about international students focus on identifying the stressors these students experience rather than the stress-coping strategies, and those that explore international students’ coping behaviour often report maladjustments.

Background: This study intended to fill the research gap by examining the strategies that Chinese students employed to psychologically adjust to their PhD study.

Methodology: Narrative inquiry method was employed to give voice to the research participants. Six Chinese doctoral students in social sciences in Australian universities were purposefully sampled and interviewed three times during their candidature in order to gain an in-depth understanding of their lived experiences of stress-coping.

Contribution: This paper provides positive stress-coping strategies used by six Chinese doctoral students, which can be used by international doctoral students or those who work with doctoral students from abroad to improve their psychological well-beings.

Findings: These Chinese PhD students adopted positive stress-coping strategies of regulating their emotions and retaining their motivation. They adopted illusory and interpretive forms of secondary control by reframing realities to obtain psychological peace when faced with stress. The ways that Chinese PhD students handled stress suggest that the Chinese moral education and the characteristic motivation for learning attributed them with positive personal characteristics to battle the adverse conditions.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Institutions/departments can initiate support groups for PhD students from the same disciplines where students can express their stress, seek assistance from senior doctoral students and exchange their strategies.
Institutions/departments can also support international doctoral candidates by taking a more flexible approach to policies and procedures concerning doctoral students taking leave both in terms of when it is taken and the duration.

Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers can focus on international doctoral students’ positive stress-coping experiences as well as negative experiences to present a balanced picture of the doctoral journey.

Impact on Society: The findings from this research on doctoral students’ stress-coping can equip doctoral students with strategies to handle their psychological challenges, which in turn may enhance their overseas doctoral experiences, reduce the dropout rates, and raise awareness of supervisors and institutions about doctoral students’ psychological well-beings.

Future Research: Future research can examine the stress-coping experiences of other international doctoral students, focusing not only from the individual psychological angle but from the academic and social perspectives.
IMPROVEMENT OF SUN ANGLE ACCURACY FROM IN-ORBIT DATA OF A QUADRANT PHOTODIODE SUN SENSOR
Authors: Faizullin Dmytro , Hiraki Koju , HORYU  , Cho Mengu
Published: October 2020

The sun vector is commonly used for defining a satellite attitude and many types of sensors exist for its determination. A fine pinhole sun sensor type was chosen and designed for HORYU-IV nanosatellite of Kyushu Institute of Technology. This sensor has a round-shaped hole and uses commercial off-the-shelf silicon photodiode, which consists of four small sensitive elements arranged close to each other. This type of sensors commonly uses look-up tables for providing high accuracy, which requires a large amount of data to be saved. Polynomial methods for sun vector determination were considered instead of look-up tables to avoid having a large amount of data to be saved. The influence of dead spaces between photodiodes on sensor accuracy was also investigated. The sensor was tested in space environment. It was found that its output signals went to saturation point. A method for the compensation of signals truncated by saturation was proposed. It was found that: 1) polynomial method provided 0.1deg accuracy for a sensor with ±5deg field of view; 2) accounting for gaps between photodiodes decreases the average error of the angle determined by 15%; 3) a method for compensation of truncated signals saves full sensor FOV with decreasing accuracy till 0.11deg.

Published: October 2020

Intersection Telkom Jatiasih is one of the congestion point in Bekasi City. This is at leave because of the high volume of traffic and also a busy route from Bekasi to Jakarta and the surrounding area, plus the direction to the toll gate Jatiasih. There is no sign – traffic sign making of Intersection Telkom Jatiasih is an unsignable junction, this is what causes the flow of irregular vehicles causing congestion. The data retrieval method is done by surveying directly to the research site. Based on survey result in Telkom Jatiasih intersection, the highest vehicle volume accurred in the afternoon of Monday, April 29 th, 2019. Calculated results based on the field survey result data using the MKJI 1997 book guidelines, obtaining the Degree of Saturation (DS) = 1,86 with the Level Of Service F value, indicating the stopping of the vehicle current at the congestion point such as the meeting path, or repair lanes that cause a long queue of vehicles. On the road Of Wibawa Mukti II Highway – Jatiasihi the vehicle flows are still recorded stably with the Degree of Saturation (DS) = 1,16 with a Level Of Service F value which means the level of road service is still stable. From the research results get an alternative solution Telkom Jatiasih intersection is in alternative 2 because it gets a decrease in the Degree of Saturation (DS) = 1,11 with the value of the Level Of Service F which means high traffic flow condition, but Current conditions are still stable.
An Analysis on Home and School Background Factors in TIMSS 2015: Focus on Students with Negative Attitude toward Mathematics
Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Hwang Jihyun , Ko Eun-Sung , Tak Byungjoo
Published: October 2020

This research is the follow-up study of Hwang & Ko (2018), in which five different motivational profiles are identified. Considering students with negative motivational constructs (profiles 1 and 2 in Hwang & Ko, 2018) have high potential to perceive them as students who give up on learning mathematics, we examined parents’ education levels, how to do homework and extra lessons, home resources, sense of school belonging, student bullying, and achievement by motivational profile with descriptive statistics, tests, and ANOVA. The findings showed that students would avoid learning mathematics if they have limited home resources while they want to improve their achievement. However, having enough home resources is not enough. If students are not able to see the improvement in their achievement despite their efforts to take extra lessons and spend their home resources, they would also be students who give up on learning mathematics potentially.
Aspects of Commoginitive Conflict and Their Role for Learning in Class Learning the Monotonicity of Functions
Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Seo Ho-Sung , Lee Kyeong-Hwa
Published: October 2020

In this study, we illuminated learner’s difficulties that can arise from learning to monotonicity of functions and inefficient communication pattern as concept of commognitive conflict introduced by Sfard, and investigated the aspects of commognitive conflict and its role in learning. Thus, we analyzed a class under the theme of monotonicity of functions at general high school in Seoul, and focused our analysis on the interactions in peer tutoring of two students who solve the task requiring exemplification. According to the analysis, Because of tutee's incomplete understanding, the examples formed by a tutor served as a figural image to tutee. In a commognitive conflict cause by different meta-rules followed by two students and figural image, it has been confirmed that the incomplete understanding of learning element have surfaced, making cognitive conflicts clear. Based on the analysis results, this study suggests that students with a poor understanding of differential concepts can be given rich opportunity to learn to judge and justify mathematical concepts with participating a commognitive conflict.

Authors: Purnama Gilang
Published: October 2020

So far, face-to-face learning has been the most effective learning model because it has been implemented in schools and has become the main choice to date. The Covid-19 pandemic that has hit various parts of the world in recent months has changed the habits of various aspects of life, including learning at school. The classic face-to-face learning method that has been a mainstay in schools suddenly has to change drastically with the online model. Whatsapp Group and Google Classroom are distance learning media that are familiar and often used. This study aims to compare the learning outcomes of students whose learners use WhatsApp group and those who use Google Classroom. This type of research is a quasi experiment. The research sample was 40 students of class VIII SMPN 1 Rawamerta and divided into two classes of 20 people each for classes using Whatsapp Group and 20 people using Google Classroom. The results showed that learning with Whatsapp Group was better than learning using Google Classroom.

Published: October 2020

Objective Attention-deficit and poor impulse control have frequently been observed in major depressive disorder (MDD) and attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Altered event-related potential (ERP) performance, such as GoNogo tasks, has been regarded as a neurocognitive process associated with attention and behavioral inhibition. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between Nogo ERP and adult ADHD in MDD.Methods A total of 64 participants with MDD (32 comorbid with ADHD) and 32 healthy controls aged 19–45 years were recruited; they performed GoNogo paradigms during electroencephalogram measurement. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) were evaluated. Clinical measures and GoNogo ERP were compared between three groups: depression with ADHD, depression without ADHD, and healthy controls.Results MDD subjects with ADHD showed significantly decreased Nogo P3 amplitude at frontal electrode, compared with those without ADHD and healthy controls. MDD subjects with ADHD showed significantly longer Nogo N2 latency at frontal and frontocentral electrodes, compared with those without ADHD and healthy controls. In MDD subjects with ADHD, the Nogo P3 amplitude at the frontal electrode was negatively correlated with the ASRS score and inattention. The Nogo N2 latency at the frontal electrode was positively correlated with false alarm rate.Conclusion The decreased Nogo P3 amplitude in the frontal area might be a potential biological marker for inattention in depressed patients with ADHD.
Biological effects of low-intensity radiofrequency fields and risk assessment for biota
Authors: Sarapultseva Elena I. , Uskalova Darya V. , Ustenko Ksenya V.
Published: October 2020

Despite the fact that there are still conflicting opinions about the damage caused by modern wireless communication technologies, most scientists report on the negative biological effects of low-intensity radio frequency electromagnetic radiation at different levels of the organization of live nature. There is no doubt that there is a need not only for a sanitary and hygienic assessment of man-made electromagnetic effects on humans, but also for an environmental assessment for biota. The purpose of the study was to assess the potential environmental risk of electromagnetic impact in the centimeter range on natural ecosystems. The initial data were the authors' own results in the field of radiobiology of non-ionizing radiation, as well as published of other researchers. The article analyzes the biological effects of radio frequency electromagnetic fields detected in organisms of different systematic groups and levels of organization. The data on the non-thermal biological effects of electromagnetic fields indicate a high sensitivity of different species to this factor. The analyzed research results emphasize the need to take into account the features of non-thermal effects of electromagnetic radiation on biota, since these radiations can have a negative impact on different hierarchical levels in natural ecosystems.
Damage to the cornea of the eye when exposed to high-intensity electromagnetic radiation of the radio frequency range
Authors: Aminov Andrey M. , Gavrish Nikolay N.
Published: October 2020

An experimental assessment of the clinical manifestations of corneal injuries of the rabbit-eyed eyes closed under the influence of high-intensity electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in the microwave range was carried out. Similar studies have been conducted when exposed to high-intensity EMR ultrahigh frequency (UHF) on the open eye of a rabbit. Dose- and frequency-dependent changes in the cornea of the rabbit eye exposed to EMR frequencies of 3.97 GHz and 1.27 GHz with an average energy flux density (EFD) of 1 W/cm2 were revealed. It has been established that a high-intensity direct short-term exposure to a microwave EMF can lead to damage to even a closed eye. Radiation of the UHF range, which is close in intensity and exposure, in addition to direct damage to the cornea of the open eye, causes slight damage to the external structures of the open paired eye, which is not directly affected. The aforementioned necessitates the development of means and methods of individual protection of the organ of vision of personnel for protection against short-term exposure to powerful electromagnetic radiation of the radio frequency range.
Are Emojis Creating a New or Old Visual Language for New Generations? A Socio-semiotic Study
Authors: Alshenqeeti Hamza
Published: October 2020

The increasing use of emojis, digital images that can represent a word or feeling in a text or email, and the fact that they can be strung together to create a sentence with real and full meaning raises the question of whether they are creating a new language amongst technologically savvy youth, or devaluing existing language. There is however a further depth to emoji usage as language, suggesting that they are in fact returning language to an earlier stage of human communication. Parallels between emojis and hieroglyphs and cuneiform can be seen which indicates the universality of visual communication forms, rather than written alphabetised language. There are also indications that emojis may be cultural or gender-specific with indications that women use more emojis than men to express their feelings and that age is less of an indicator of usage than technological awareness and capability. It appears that emojis are filling the need for adding non-verbal cues in in digital communication about the intent and emotion behind a message. Examinations of the way that emojis have developed and evolved and their current and forecast usage leads to the conclusion that they are not a “new” language developed by the technological adept younger generations, but instead are an evolution of older visual language systems that make use of digital technology to create greater layers and nuance in asynchronous communications. Furthermore, emojis are devices for demonstrating tone, intent and feelings that would normally be conveyed by non-verbal cues in personal communications but which cannot be achieved in digital messages. It is also evident from prior works and analyses of usage that there are universal meanings to Emojis. This suggests that as a language form, emojis may be able to contribute to increased cross-cultural communication clarity. Further research is however recognised as being necessary to fully understand the role that emojis can play as a visual language for all generations, not just those termed millennials or technologically savvy youths.

Glycoprotein M6A is differentially expressed in non-small cell lung cancer and associates with patient survival.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: October 2020

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States (1). We mined published microarray data (2, 3, 4) to identify differentially expressed genes in NSCLC. We found that gene encoding glycoprotein M6A, GPM6A, was among those whose expression was most quantitatively different in human NSCLC tumors as compared to the lung. GPM6A expression levels were significantly decreased in NSCLC tumors as compared to the lung, and lower expression of GPM6A in patient tumors was significantly associated with worse overall survival. GPM6A may be important for initiation or progression of non-small cell lung cancer in humans.

Published: October 2020

Ground motion time series are critical elements of earthquake engineering for performance analysis of seismic regions’ built environment. At present, the number of available instruments to record the free-field ground motions in the US is generally sparse. Therefore, ground motion estimation methods are used to obtain input motion estimates at locations where there is no available instrumentation. In this study, the ground motion time series are constructed using a Gaussian Process regression, which models the Fourier spectrum’s real and imaginary parts as random Gaussian variables. The proposed model’s training and validation are carried out using the physics-based simulated ground motions of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. The evaluation of the model’s performance is also carried out using the simulated magnitude 7.0 Hayward fault earthquake and the ground motions recorded in the 2019 magnitude 7.1 Ridgecrest Earthquake sequence within the Los Angeles area. All evaluations imply that the trained Gaussian Process regression model can estimate the ground motion time series properly. It is also observed that the trained Gaussian Process regression model has decent performance on the long-period ground motion estimation due to the ground motion directivity pulses. The results also illustrate that the stations’ prediction either at the boundary edges or outside of the network might not be as accurate as other stations’ estimations.

This flowchart gives an indication of the kinds of factors that influence the application of international law to uncrewed maritime vehicles. It sets out some of the requirements imposed by treaties in order to access certain rights. As many of the treaties assume there will be people on-board the device, it is unclear if and how UMVs will be able to meet these treaty requirements. There is debate amongst international and maritime lawyers about how strictly the treaties should be read.
Theories of the Generation Effect and the Impact of Generation Constraint: A Meta-analytic Review
Authors: McCurdy Matthew P. , Viechtbauer Wolfgang , Sklenar Allison , Frankenstein Andrea N. , Leshikar Eric D.
Published: October 2020

The generation effect is the memory benefit for self-generated compared to read or experimenter provided information. In recent decades, numerous theories have been proposed to explain the memory mechanism(s) and boundary conditions of the generation effect. In this meta-analysis and theoretical review, we analyzed 126 articles (310 experiments, 1653 estimates) to assess seven prominent theories to determine which theories are supported by the existing literature. Because some theories focus on item memory (memory for the generated target) and others focus on context memory (memory for details associated with the generated target), we examined memory effects for both types of details (item, context) in this meta-analysis. Further, we assessed the influence of generation constraint (how constrained participants are to a generate a certain response), which recent work has shown impacts the magnitude of the generation effect. Overall, the results of this meta-analysis support some theoretical accounts, but not others, as explanatory mechanisms of the generation effect. Results further showed that generation constraint significantly moderates the magnitude of the generation effect, suggesting that this factor should be rigorously investigated in future work. Overall, this meta-analysis provides a review and examination of generation effect theories, and reveals important areas of future research.

Background. We examined correlates of past year suicidal thoughts and behavior (STB) and described past year treatment experiences among young people who inject drugs (PWID). Methods. Participants were 570 adults (18-25 years) who injected primarily heroin. Interviews were conducted at field stations operated by Community Outreach Intervention Projects in Chicago, Illinois (USA). Interviewers administered the Psychiatric Research Instrument for Substance and Mental Disorders. Substance use and mental disorders were based on DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. Past year STB was based on multiple questions. Results. Sixteen percent of men and 25% of women reported STB in the past year. In multivariable analysis, STB was associated with non-heterosexual orientation, foster care, and being raised by two parents. Primary major depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, other anxiety disorders, and borderline personality disorder had independent effects on suicidality. Among those reporting past year STB (n=111), 83% ever received mental health treatment, while 44% did so in the past year. While 24% of respondents indicated that at least one treatment matched their needs very well, 30% reported treatment that did not match their needs at all. The most common reason for ending treatment was program completion (about 50%) while getting better was endorsed by about 25%. Nearly half reported ending treatment due to a bad experience, logistical issues, or expense. Conclusions. Young PWID are at high risk for suicidal behavior and their mental health treatment experiences often do not meet their needs. There is a pressing need for more integrated substance use and mental health treatment.

Background: Labor induction is one of the most common Obstetrics interventions worldwide. It has got significant risks and benefits. Careful selection of cases for induction improves the feto­maternal outcomes. So, the study was designed to assess the fetomaternal outcome and factors associated with mode of delivery following the induction of labor.

Methods: It was a descriptive observational study conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from July 17, 2018, to July 16, 2019. The study comprised of 264 mothers admitted in the labor ward subjected to labor induction as clinical management of labor and delivery. Data analyzed with chi-square test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) wherever appropriate.

Results: Of 2950 deliveries, the induction rate was 8.94%. Out of them, 264 mothers undergone labor induction. A caesarean was the highly associated mode of deliveries 168(63.63%) due to in­duction failure 94(55.97%) followed by fetal distress 37(22%). The mean birth weight of neonates was 3.09±0.41 kg. Apgar score in one minute and hospital stay showed a significant difference (p-value .002), in modes of deliveries. No significant association was observed in maternal and fetal complications like PPH, endometritis, and low Apgar score <7 in five minutes. The majority of neonates admitted for observation at the care unit. The neonatal mortality was two.

Conclusions: Caesarean mode of delivery highly was associated with labor induction due to in­duction failure and fetal distress. Carefully selected cases improve morbidity and fetomaternal outcomes following labor induction.

Background: Early recognition of oral cancer is essential for higher cure rate and better prog­nosis. Nurses can play a significant role in the early diagnosis of cancers. The study aimed to assess the awareness of oral cancer among nursing students.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among Bachelor of Nursing Students at College of Nursing, B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the sociodemographic data and awareness of cancer. Descriptive statistics were calculated using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22.0.

Results: Out of 116, 89 (76.7%) students were of age 21-25 years. One hundred and twelve stu­dents (96.6%) were aware that various form of tobacco increases risk of oral cancer; however, only 55 (47.4%) students knew alcohol drinking as a risk factor. Only 29 (25.0%) students were aware of loose-fitting denture as a risk factor for oral cancer. Ninety-six (82.8%) students knew white or red patch as possible signs of oral cancer; however, only six (5.2%) students were aware of the most common site of oral cancer. Only 16 (13.8%) students considered that they are adequately trained to screen oral cancer. One hundred and fifteen (99.1%) students demanded more education on oral cancer.

Conclusions: This study revealed that nursing students’ awareness of risk factors and the impor­tance of screening of oral cancer is suboptimal. It highlights a need for basic education on oral can­cer to make them more aware and further competent toward oral cancer screening and referral.
