Published: April 2022

As the fourth leading country with the largest population, the demand for needs in Indonesia has increased significantly, especially in primary needs such as food and household materials. With the massive amount of waste and lack of awareness, the waste we produce is thrown away to the landfill, without knowing the effects it might cause. In this situation, there are many people throwing garbage in the wrong place. The awareness amongst youth in Indonesia in regard to excessive waste and composting as a solution to act on it is, still low. In the effort of collecting data, literature studies from different sources are used, this research also conducts in-depth interviews with experts in the field. A creative solution of creating a digital platform in the form of a website that called Feed the Soil is made to help raise the awareness to solve the problem. With an attractive visual and interactive activity, It would be easier for the targeted audience to be able to increase their interest and boost their knowledge. As a result, the awareness is raised, and information can be easily understood and received in a fun and unordinary way. Moreover, further research is still needed to provide more depth to the platform and implementation.

Published: April 2022

Objective: to study arterial stiffness in patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation, who have hypertension (AH) and stage 2-3A chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to assess the ability of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor perindopril and angiotensin receptor antagonist losartan to reduce arterial stiffness in these patients. Materials and Methods. We studied 44 patients with ACS without ST elevation combined with CKD stage 2-3A, AH (the 1st group). The comparison groups were the ACS without ST segment elevation, AH patients with normal renal function (the 2nd group, n=27) and the 3rd group (n=44) of patients with chronic CHD, AH and CKD. Group 1 patients were divided into 2 subgroups taking perindopril or losartan. The parameters of vascular wall stiffness (pulse wave velocity (PWV), cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), ankle brachial index (ABI), aortic augmentation index (AI), central systolic and pulse aortic pressure, peripheral blood pressure (BP), estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were assessed.) Results. The patients with ACS without ST elevation combined with 2-3A stages of CKD and AH had a significantly higher cPAP, AI, PWV, and CAVI than the patients of the 2nd group. During 3 months of complex therapy with perindopril, a decrease in PWV, cSAP, cPAP, AI was observed. There were no significant differences in the effects of perindopril and losartan on peripheral and central blood pressure, on renal function, on arterial stiffness parameters. Conclusion. Patients with AH and CKD stage 2-3A have more pronounced arterial stiffness compared to similar patients with normal GFR. Antihypertensive therapy with perindopril and losartan allows to reach target levels of peripheral BP, significantly reduce central aortic pressure and improve elastic properties of the arterial vascular wall.
The Lymphatic System In The Brain Clearance Mechanisms - New Therapeutic
Perspectives For Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Chachaj Angelika , Gąsiorowski Kazimierz , Szuba Andrzej , Sieradzki Adrian , Leszek Jerzy
Published: April 2022

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia worldwide. Pathologi-cal deposits of neurotoxic proteins within the brain, such as amyloid-ß and hyperphosphorylated tau tangles, are the prominent features in AD. According to recent studies, the newly discovered brain lymphatic system was demonstrated to be crucial in the clearance of metabolic macromolecules from the brain. Meningeal lymphatic vessels located in the dura mater drain the fluid, macromole-cules, and immune cells from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and transport them, as lymph, to the deep cervical lymph nodes. The lymphatic system provides the perivascular exchange of CSF with inter-stitial fluid (ISF) and ensures the homeostasis of neuronal interstitial space. In this review, we aim to summarize recent findings on the role of the lymphatic system in AD pathophysiology and dis-cuss possible therapeutic perspectives, targeting the lymphatic clearance mechanisms within the brain.
Adherence to, and Persistence of, Antidepressant Therapy in Patients with
Major Depressive Disorder: Results from a Population-based Study in
Italy
Authors: Di Nicola Marco , Dell’Osso Bernardo , Peduto Ilaria , Cipelli Riccardo , Pugliese Anna Cristina , Signorelli Maria Salvina , Ventriglio Antonio , Martinotti Giovanni
Published: April 2022

Background:

Major depressive disorders represent a significant burden to society, and it
is recommended that antidepressant therapy should last at least 6 months. In Italy, antidepressant
use in clinical practice was reported to increase by 1.7% in 2020 compared to 2019, but only 40% of
new prescriptions are characterized by a treatment duration longer than 3 months.

Objective:

The study aims to describe adherence and persistence to therapy in a subset of antidepressants
(citalopram, duloxetine, escitalopram, paroxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine) vs. vortioxetine
in Italy during a 2-year period from 2017 to 2019.

Methods:

A retrospective analysis of the longitudinal patient database reporting data from general
practitioners on drug prescriptions in Italy was carried out in a cohort of 8,235 adult patients who
were prescribed antidepressants.

Results:

Overall, 32.4% of the patients adhered to treatment for ≥6 months over a 1-year period.
Vortioxetine had a lower risk of low adherence compared to duloxetine, paroxetine, and venlafaxine
and a higher risk compared to citalopram, escitalopram, and sertraline. 68.7% of patients discontinued
treatment during follow-up. The greatest percentage of patients continuing therapy was seen
with duloxetine, while citalopram was associated with the highest proportion of patients discontinuing
therapy. No significant differences in discontinuation were observed when comparing vortioxetine
to the other antidepressants.

Conclusion:

Adherence results were considerably less than the 6-month recommendation in this real-
world analysis of antidepressant therapies. Also, persistence to therapy was low, with most patients
discontinuing treatment. Thus, there is a need for interventions to help patients adhere to their
planned therapy.

Authors: Mutlu Birsen , Akbari Negarin , Nadali Javad
Published: April 2022

Background:

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of non-nutritive sucking for analgesia
in term infants undergoing heel-stick procedures.

Methods:

Randomized controlled trials and non-randomized studies based on the PICO framework
were included in the study. Review articles, commentary, pilot, and non-English articles were excluded.
Databases, such as PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane,
were searched until January 31st, 2021, using the keywords “Pain management”, ‘Non-nutritive
sucking”, and “Heel stick”. All studies were reviewed and retrieved by two authors independently
using a standardized form according to the inclusion criteria, and any disagreements were examined
by a third scholar. Quality assessment was evaluated by using the ROB-2 tool. Data were analyzed
using Stata version 12.0 software, and a random-effects model was used for analysis.

Results:

A total of 5,629 articles were retrieved from all databases, and after the screening, finally,
6 relevant articles were included in the analysis. The tools used to control pain in infants in the articles
included PIPP, NFCS, NIPS, and NPASS. The results showed that the pain scores were significantly
lower in the NNS group compared to the control group (MD, -1.05; 95% CI, -1.53 to -0.57)
and NNS had a significant effect on oxygen saturation (O2 Sat) increasing in newborns compared to
the control group, but no significant reduction in the heart rate (HR) between two groups was
observed.

Conclusion:

NNS effectively provides analgesia in full-term neonates undergoing heel-stick procedures;
however, its effects on the long-term outcomes of infants are unclear. The results showed that
NNS was effective in improving heel-stick pain in infants.

Authors: Jafari Maedeh , Hosseininasab Ali , Sinaei Reza , Ebrahimi Sarehossadat , Parvaresh Saeedeh
Published: April 2022

Background:

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) was first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. Skin manifestations of COVID-19 have been reported sporadically. Staphy-lococcus aureus occurs after viral infection due to unregulated IFN-α. We designed this reported case to pay more attention to the rare skin manifestations following COVID-19.

Case Report:

The patient was a 12-month-old girl who presented with fever and skin rashes. Two days before admission, erythematous rashes spread around the mouth, nose, eyes, and trunk. Ery-thematous lesions begin to peel the next day. RT-PCR of the nasopharynx was positive for COVID-19. Treatment with vancomycin and clindamycin was started. The patient was discharged with complete recovery of skin lesions.

Conclusion:

One of the early manifestations of COVID-19 in children can be fever and rash. Clini-cal suspicion led to more attention to complications of bacterial superinfection such as staphylococ-cal scalded skin syndrome.

(Bedtime versus Morning) on Glycemic Control in Children with Type 1
Diabetes in Cairo, Egypt: A Single Centre Experience
Authors: Abdou Marise , Shamma Radwa A. , Anwar Ghada M. , Musa Noha , Mira Marwa F.
Published: April 2022

Background:

Diabetes control without developing hypoglycemia is challenging in Type
1 diabetes (T1D) management, with few studies evaluating the effect of insulin glargine timing on
glucoregulation.

Objectives:

The aim is to compare glycemic control using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)
in children with T1D receiving bedtime versus morning glargine and to assess CGM effect on glycemia.

Methods:

This cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 30 pediatric patients with
T1D receiving glargine (19 at bedtime and 11 in the morning). CGM sensor was applied for 3-5
days using the I-Pro2 blood glucose sensor.

Results:

Total daily dose of glargine showed a significant correlation with HbA1C (p=0.006) and
percentage of glucose readings within average (p=0.039). HbA1C correlated significantly with
time in range (TIR) (p=0.049). Nocturnal hypoglycemia was significantly higher in the bedtime
glargine group than in the morning one (p=0.016). The morning glargine group showed better control
in terms of lower HbA1C and higher TIR, but these did not reach statistical significance. Follow-
up after 3 months revealed significant improvement in the percentage of hyperglycemia, BG
readings within average, as well as HbA1c (p:0.001).

Conclusions:

Bedtime glargine administration was associated with a higher frequency of occurrence
of nocturnal hypoglycemia. No statistically significant difference in glycemic control between
both groups was found. CGM use improved glycemic control.

Published: April 2022

Objective:

The objective of this study is to analyze the clinical and imaging features of
desmoplastic fibroma of bone (DFB) for correct diagnosis.

Materials and methods:

Twenty patients with DFB confirmed by pathology were enrolled, and the
imaging presentations were analyzed. Among 20 patients, plain X-ray was performed in all patients,
computed tomography (CT) was performed in 12, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was conducted
on eight. The clinical and imaging presentations were analyzed and classified to assist in correct
diagnosis.

Results:

Twenty patients with DFB were retrieved, including eleven males and nine females with an
age range of 2-52 years (median 27). The DFB involved the femur in six patients, ilium in five, tibia in
four, humerus in two, lumbar vertebra in one, radius in one, and calcaneus in the remaining one. DFB
was common in the metaphysis of long bones and could involve the diaphysis and epiphysis. The imaging
presentations were divided into four types: the cystic expansile destruction in ten patients, osteolytic
destruction in five, mixed destruction in four, and paraosseous destruction in one. CT value was 30 -60
Hu in the lesion area (6 cases CT value＞45Hu). In eight patients with MRI scanning, the lesion in five
patients presented with unevenly equal or low signal on T1WI and unevenly equal or high signal on
T2WI, with irregular stripes or patches of low signal on both T1WI and T2WI. In the rest three patients,
the lesion was evenly equal or low signal on T1WI and evenly high signal on T2WI. MRI more clearly
showed a mass in the adjacent soft tissue and the range of edema in the DFB lesion.

Conclusion:

DFB is a rare tumor with strong local aggressiveness, cystic bone destruction, formation of
tumor bone trabeculae, soft tissue masses on imaging presentations, low signals on T1WI and T2WI in
the lesion, but no periosteal reaction or calcification, which are helpful for diagnosis of the disease and
differentiation from other ones.
Natural Anti-inflammatory and Anti-allergy Agents: Herbs and Botanical Ingredients
Authors: Saini Rashmi , Dhiman Neena K.
Published: April 2022

Allergies have been known to be an abnormally vigorous immune response in which the immune system fights off an allergen or antigen, initiating mast cells to release histamine into the blood. Substances that prevent mast cells from releasing histamine are considered antiallergic agents. The drugs utilized to treat allergy are mast cell stabilizers, steroids, anti-histamine, leukotriene receptor antagonists, and decongestants. Anti-histamine drugs have side effects such as drowsiness, confusion, constipation, difficulty urinating, blurred vision, etc. The use of medicinal plants for the effective and safe management of diseases has recently received much attention. Various herbs are utilized for their antiallergic and anti-histaminic properties. Some of the herbs useful in the management of allergic diseases of the respiratory tract, like Piper longum, Ocimum tenuiflorum, Solanum xanthocarpum have been discussed. Ample scientific evidence is available for the anti-histaminic and antiallergic activity of Azadirachta indica, Aloe vera, Tinospora cordifolia, and many other such herbs are safer to use as antiallergic agents have been reported. The review summarizes a wide variety of herbs and botanical ingredients with their common scientific names and distribution for easy identification and usage as safe antiallergic agents and discusses their molecular mechanisms involved in combating allergic reactions.

Published: April 2022

Background:

Face recognition which belongs to biometric recognition has great application value. Nowadays, face recognition based on deep learning has been widely used in many fields such as internet payment, network login and authentication. However, the face recognition deep learning model are easily replaced and tampered with. Once the models are illegally attacked, it will infringe the intellectual property rights of the model owner and cause economic losses. To deal with these threats, we use watermarking technology to add identity into the face recognition deep learning model. When it is replaced or tampered with, we can prove that the model belongs to us by extracting the watermarks.

Objective:

In this study, our innovate framework is designed to add watermarks into the face recognition deep learning model as identity, which makes it have features of both trigger sets and data sets. The model will be robust enough to resist common machine learning attacks. With special watermarks, its ownership can be guaranteed.

Method:

We construct a special watermark trigger set and embed it into the model, which makes it trained without human intervention and annotation. To be flexible for a variety of applications, this scheme uses chaotic sequences to label a watermark trigger set, which guarantees the non-generalization of the watermark. The initial value and parameters used in the method are designed respectively as key to the model. We train 4 models with different number of trigger samples, which is used to study the effect of the number of trigger samples on the model accuracy.

Results:

We successfully propose a watermarking method for adding identity to the face recognition deep learning model. Watermark extraction rate of the proposed framework is 100%, which means our method can successfully prove ownership of the face recognition deep learning model. In destructive experiments, Models subject to fine-tuning attack still have high face recognition rates which are over 99.00%, and extraction rates of watermarks of each model is 100%. Under overwriting attack, the extraction rates of watermarks of models are less than 25%, models cannot maintain the original performance, which means that watermarks can provide protection until the model loses its ability. The experimental results indicate that the proposed scheme is robust against common machine learning attacks and it prevent the model from being replaced and tempering with.

Conclusion:

The robustness of the proposed method is capable of resisting machine learning attacks and fine-tuning attacks. It also provides good fidelity, safety, practicality, completeness and effectiveness. With the help of special watermarks, related departments can effectively manage face recognition deep learning models. Besides, it can facilitate the commercialization of intelligent models.
Enamel Hypoplasia as a Marker for Sex Estimation: A Review
Authors: Caldas Inês Morais , Madureira-Carvalho Áurea , Pereira Maria Lurdes
Published: April 2022

Changes in enamel during teeth development are permanently recorded, and some, like
enamel hypoplasia (EH), can be linked with stressful events. As males and females may respond
differently to stress, EH may have a different prevalence between the sexes. The present work
mainly aims to identify which factors may lead to the different EH types, analyse how they manifest
between sexes, and check if, in the presence of EH, one can infer about a person’s sex. Our
results point to occasional differences in EH prevalence in deciduous dentition between sexes, with
males displaying more EH. As for permanent dentition, EH prevalence appears to be strongly associated
with the living conditions, namely nutrition, occluding any possible sex bias. Therefore,
EH in deciduous teeth can be useful for sex estimation; yet, in permanent dentition, other factors
may be responsible for the differences and more studies, with control of environmental factors (for
example, twin studies) are needed to understand if sex differences exist as well.

Published: April 2022

Резюме. Мета: вивчити стан прооксидантно-антиоксидантної систем крові у білих щурів при експериментальному цукровому діабеті.

Матеріали і методи. Модель цукрового діабету відтворювали шляхом внутрішньоочеревинного введення білим щурам стрептозотоцину фірми «Sigma» (США), розведеного в 0,1 М цитратному буфері з рН 4,5, з розрахунку 60 мг/кг маси  тіла. Контрольній групі тварин внутрішньоочеревинно вводили еквівалентну дозу 0,1 М цитратного буферного розчину з рН 4,5. У сироватці крові визначали вміст дієнових кон’югатів, активність каталази через 14, 28, 42 і 70 діб після ін’єкції стрептозотоцину.

Результати. Біохімічні дослідження сироватки крові показали, що у тварин з цукровим діабетом спостерігається підвищення рівня дієнових кон’югатів на всіх етапах експерименту: через 14 діб на 31,8%, через 28 діб на 104,4%, через 42 доби на 112,5% і через 70 діб на 125,4%. Водночас у сироватці зростала активність каталази. Зокрема через 14 діб концентрація даного ензиму була підвищена на 46,6 %, через 28 діб на 74,8%, через 42 доби – на 29,3%. Через 70 діб дослідження відмічалося зменшення активності каталази на 28,1% у порівнянні з показником контрольної групи тварин.

Висновки. Експериментальний цукровий діабет протягом усього періоду дослідження супроводжується інтенсифікацією процесів ліпопероксидації, що проявляється достовірним підвищенням у сироватці крові вмісту дієнових кон’югатів. На тлі розвитку цукрового діабету у сироватці крові відмічається виснаження ферментної ланки антиоксидантної системи, про що свідчить зменшення каталазної активності, яка особливо виражена на 70-у добу експерименту.

Published: April 2022

The demand for weight reduction in the automotive, aerospace, and railway industries is at an all-time high. Fibre-reinforced composites (FRC) have proved their suitability with their excellent combination of strength and weight. The only limiting factor in adapting FRC for mass-production in industries is the high costs of composite materials like carbon fibre reinforced plastics. A design workflow, suitable for FRC’s and their available manufacturing technologies has been proposed by adopting a progressive approach. A multi-material component design has been optimized using Altair Hyperworks and OptiStruct to reduce weight and maintain stiffness and strength as compared to its conventional metallic version. The layup of the substrate laminate has been optimized using special optimization tools in OptiStruct in three stages. The determination of load-paths is followed by the optimization of the base laminate under given load cases. Subsequently, the geometry of injection-moulded stiffeners was determined by employing topology optimization considering the composite layup, obtained in previous steps.

Authors: Jalil Mays B. , Al Atbee Mohammed Younus Naji
Published: April 2022

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is prevalent worldwide. It belongs to the β-herpesvirinae subfamily of Herpesviridae and comprises a double-stranded linear DNA genome and capsid, surrounded by an envelope. CMV infection is most prominently found in patients with kidney failure caused by various possible reasons such as urinary tract infection or systemic disease and are undergoing dialysis. The present study was conducted during the period of March 2020 to April 2021. It included 96 patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (44 of patients were women and 52 men) within the age range of 11-70 years. Five-mL of the venous blood sample was drawn from each patient to conduct the rapid antibody test for the presence of CMV-specific antibodies (both IgG, and IgM). This study showed that the seroprevalence of CMV infection among haemodialysis patients was 75%. The seropositivity for CMV-IgG was 72.9% which was significantly higher than that for CMV-IgM (2.1%) for both sexes. The present study further demonstrated that the prevalence of positive CMV-IgG in males was higher than that in females (38.5% and 34.4%, respectively). In addition, the positivity of CMV-IgM was highest in the age group 61–70 years old (2.1%), while the positivity of CMV-IgG was highest in patients age groups 41–50 years (24%). The present study revealed a high seroprevalence of CMV infection among haemodialysis patients in Basrah City. The elevated seroprevalence could be related to many factors, including the endemicity of the virus, public health, patient immunity, environmental factors, and geographical location. CMV infection increases with age, and the infection rate in men was higher than that in women. The seroprevalence rate of CMV-IgG antibodies was higher than that of CMV-IgM antibodies, indicating a previous infection or reactivation of CMV virus among haemodialysis patients, leading to a high risk of CMV infection.

Published: April 2022

Throughout history, man has sought to limit the phenomena that involve human complexity to a single cause. Madness was seen merely as a sign of sin, thus instituting the stigma of mental disorders. Given this reality, the relevance of the present study is justified due to the prevalence of evangelicals in the city of Imperatriz-MA (31.9%), and the lack of studies aimed at this specific public. Aiming to identify if there is an influence of the system of beliefs and values of the evangelical public in the adherence to psychological treatment in the city of Imperatriz-MA, as well as to inform about the knowledge about mental illness for this public and to point out if there are stigmas associated with Psychology. Therefore, a field research was carried out, exploratory, descriptive and explanatory. The recruitment of the study subjects occurred through the invitation as a volunteer to the research in the city of Imperatriz-MA, using a structured questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The results help us to understand that values and beliefs significantly influence the process of adherence to psychological treatment by the evangelical public.

Amaç: Panoramik radyograflar üzerinde, palatinalde tek taraflı gömülü maksiller kaninin anatomik konumunun, komşu lateral kökü rezorpsiyonuna sebebiyet verme potansiyelini belirlemektir. Materyal ve Metot: Bu çalışma tek taraflı maksiller gömülü kanine sahip yaş ortalaması 23,81±6,59 yıl olan toplam 47 hastanın panoramik radyografları üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Çalışmaya dahil edilen bireylerin KIBT kayıtlarında gömülü maksiller kanine komşu lateral dişte rezorpsiyonu belirlenerek, çalışma materyali lateral dişte rezorpsiyonu olan ve lateral dişi sağlıklı olan iki gruba ayrılmıştır. Toplam 47 bireye ait gömülü maksiller kanin anatomik konumu panoramik radyograf üzerinde (a) sektör belirleme, (b) kanin kronunun vertikal pozisyonu, (c) gömülü maksiller kaninin oklüzyon düzlemi ile yaptığı açı, (d) kanin folikül genişliği ölçümü yöntemleri ile değerlendirilmiş, maksiller gömülü kanin dişe komşu lateral dişin rezorpsiyon potansiyeli SPSS 20.0 istatistiksel analiz programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Komşu laterali sağlıklı olan gruba nazaran lateral diş rezorpsiyonu gözlenen bireylerin gömülü kaninin oklüzal düzlem açısı daha yüksek (p<0,001), folikül genişliği daha düşüktür (p=0,008). Lateral diş rezorpsiyonu gözlenen bireyde gömülü kanin dişin oklüzal düzlem ile yaptığı açı değerleri (p=0,001) anlamlı farklılık göstermiştir. Lateral diş rezorpsiyonu olan hasta grubunda yaş ile oklüzal açı (r=0,449; p=0,028) pozitif yönlü; folikül genişliği (r=0,529; p=0,008) ile negatif yönlü anlamlı korelasyon gözlenmiştir. Sonuç: Panoramik radyograflar ile sürmesi gecikmiş ya da gömülü kalmış, palatinalde konumlanan maksiller kanin sürme kontrolü ve komşu lateral dişte rezorpsiyon oluşturma potansiyeli gömülü kanin dişin okluzal düzlem açısı ve folikül genişliği ölçümleri ile belirlenebilir.
SD-Net:Spatial dual network for aerial object detection
Authors: yangte gao , bi fukun , chen liang , xiaoyu nie
Published: April 2022

Compared with the targets in natural images, the aerial targets are
often distributed in an arbitrary direction. However, the existing
detectors rely on the shared features to identify and locate the
targets. This leads to the inconsistency between classification and
regression: the classifier needs rotation-invariant features and the
regressor needs rotation-sensitive features. To solve the above
problems, we propose a Spatial Dual Network (SD-Net) composed of two
modules: Spatial Coordinate Attention Module (SCAM) and Polarization
Dual Pyramid Module(PDPM). We construct an attention module containing
convolution kernels sliding in both horizontal and vertical directions,
which enables the attention module to capture channel correlation
features and global spatial features in different directions. Then, in
the dual pyramid, we separate the features suitable for classification
and regression tasks through the polarization function to the classifier
and regressor of the network, achieving more refined detection.
Extensive experiments show that compared with the existing detectors,
our method can achieve higher performance on two remote sensing datasets
(i.e. HRSC2016 and DOTA) while maintaining high efficiency.
The existence and nonexistence of global $L^2$-constrained minimizers for Kirchhoff equations with $L^2$-subcritical general nonlinearity
Authors: Ye Hongyu , Zhang Lina
Published: April 2022

In this paper, we study the existence of global $L^2$-constrained
minimizers related to the following Kirchhoff type equation: $$
-\left(a+b\ds\int_{\R^N}|\nabla
u|^2\right)\Delta
u-f(u)=\lambda
u,~~~x\in
\R^N,~\lambda\in\R,$$
where $N\leq3$, $a,$ $b>0$ are
constants, $f(u)$ is a general $L^2$-subcritical nonlinearity. By
using the concentration compactness principle, we prove the sharp
existence and nonexistence of global $L^2$-constraint minimizers.
Active inductor based low phase noise voltage controlled oscillator
Authors: Jakodiya Shailesh , Gurjar Ram , Gamad Radhe
Published: April 2022

This paper proposed a fully MOS-based voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with tuning range and low phase noise, replacing the most often used NMOS-based inductor-capacitor tank arranged in cross-coupled topology with a high-Q active inductor. This study mainly focuses on VCO design using a MOS-based active inductor and is implemented and verified using UMC 180nm CMOS technology. The proposed VCO is resistorless and consists of an active inductor, two MOS capacitors, and the buffer circuits. The fundamental principle of this MOS-based VCO concept is to use MOS based inductor to replace the passive inductor, which is an active inductor that gives less area and low power usage. At 1 MHz frequency offset, the phase noise achieved by this proposed configuration is -102.78dBc/Hz. In the proposed VCO architecture, the frequency tuning range is 0.5GHz to 1.7GHz. This VCO design can accomplish this acceptable tuning range by altering the regulating voltage from 0.7V to 1.8V. This suggested architecture of proposed VCO design has the power consumption of 9mW with a 1.8V supply voltage. The suggested VCO has been shown to be a good fit for low-power RF circuit applications while preserving acceptable performance metrics.

Published: April 2022

In carrying out learning, educators must be creative in accordance with the demands of technology in developing learning media. YouTube is one of the domains used by educators as an online learning medium. This study aims to determine the effect of using YouTube as an online learning media on students' interest in learning mathematics and critical thinking. The subjects in this study were 20 junior high school students. This study uses the Experimental Teaching method with a quantitative approach. The instruments used are questionnaires and test questions that are given online. Questionnaires were distributed on the subject using a google form and test questions were given after learning using YouTube media. Questionnaires were used to obtain data on interest in learning mathematics and test questions to measure students' critical thinking. Data analysis used paired sample test with a significant level of 0.05. Before carrying out the paired sample test, the normality and homogeneity of the data were tested. The results obtained data are normally distributed and homogeneous. The results showed that there was an effect of using YouTube online learning media on students' interest in learning and critical thinking skills. This is indicated by the significance value for learning interest of 0.017 which is less than 0.05 and the significance value of critical thinking 0.005 which is smaller than 0.05. Furthermore, the value of N-Gain is sought to determine the extent of the influence of YouTube media on interest in learning and critical thinking. The N-Gain value for students' interest in learning mathematics is 0.12 and critical thinking is 0.28. Both values are in the low category so that the influence of YouTube media on interest in learning and critical thinking is less effective.
