Heterozygous haemoglobin E (Hb E) with deletional alpha (α)-thalassaemia is commonly seen in Southeast Asia including Kelantan, a Northeastern state of Malaysia. Studies in Malaysia showed that Hb E is the commonest among Malay Kelantan, Penang and Senoi group of Orang Asli [1-5].

 

This study aimed to compare the haematological parameters (Hb, RBC, MCV, MCH, RDW and Hb E) among the heterozygous Hb E with deletional α-thalassaemia subjects. This study also intended to ascertain a cut-off value for heterozygous Hb E with deletional α-thalassaemia using automated capillary electrophoresis method. 

 

A cross-sectional study was conducted involving secondary data collection of 219 samples of heterozygous Hb E with possible α-thalassaemia from all districts of Kelantan. Full blood count (FBC) was analysed using Sysmex XN 3000 automated blood cell analyser (Kobe, Japan). Hemoglobin (Hb) analysis was performed using automated CE system (Capillarys2; Sebia, France). Molecular characterisation was performed using multiplex gap-PCR and ARMS-PCR to detect both deletional and non-deletional α-thalassaemia, respectively. Qualitative data were expressed as frequency and percentage while quantitative data were expressed as mean, ± SEM and median. One-way ANOVA was used to test for mean Hb level, RBC count, MCV level, MCH level, and RDW level differences among six groups of heterozygous Hb E with concurrent deletional alpha thalassaemia in this study. The ROC curve was used to determine the cut-off point for Hb E level.

 

Eighty-nine samples of heterozygous Hb E were confirmed to have concurrent deletional α-thalassaemia. Heterozygous Hb E with heterozygous α3.7 gene deletion was the most common deletional α-thalassaemia observed in 56 samples (62.9%) and followed by heterozygous SEA gene deletion which were detected in 21 samples (23.6%). The haematological parameters showed there was a significant difference between groups. The cut-off point for Hb E level for predicting heterozygous Hb E with deletional α-thalassaemia from CE method was 24.7% (Table 1). The diagnostic performance for the cut-off point for Hb E level showed sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of 100% for all. 

This cut-off value can be used in assisting the selection of heterozygous Hb E individual to proceed with DNA analysis for α-thalassaemia.

Published: November 2022

Nutrition forms the foundation for physical performance of an athlete. Nutrients deficiency can negatively affect health and sports performance of an athlete. There are several factors attributed to this situation which include lack of knowledge regarding nutrition, specifically sports nutrition. This is because, a person with lack of knowledge is most likely to have a negative attitude and poor dietary practice [1].

 

The aim of the study is to assess the levels of nutrition knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among gymnasium users in Jordan.

 

In this study, a total of 138 male gymnasium users (18 – 35 years) were recruited from several gymnasiums in Jordan. Their height and weight were measured, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. The KAP-Sports nutrition questionnaires which contains 3 sections was administered. The first section comprised of 25 questions regarding knowledge on basic sports nutrition, the second section comprised of seven questions regarding usual food choices and proper nutrition, while the third section comprised of 20 questions on attitude towards nutrition and sports-enhancing diet. Descriptive analysis (SPSS vs. 26.0) was used to analyse the data from KAP questionnaires.

 

As shown in the Table 1, majority of the participants have moderate knowledge on sports nutrition (77.6%; n=107) with minority of the participants have low knowledge on sports nutrition (3.3%; n=6) while the rest of them have high knowledge on sports nutrition (18.1%; n=25). For attitude, majority of the participants have neutral attitude (84.7%; n=117) with minority of the participants have positive attitude (5.1%; n=7) while the rest of them have negative attitude towards sports nutrition (10.2%; n=14). A total of 93 participants (67.4%) had fair dietary practices and 45 participants (32.6%) had a poor dietary practice. However, none of the participants (0%) had a good dietary practice.

In conclusion, gymnasium users in Jordan did not have adequate knowledge which in turns affect their attitude as well as dietary practice. Hence, sports nutrition education is recommended to ensure adequate and correct knowledge are disseminated to the athletes.
Management of Recurrent Congenital Preauricular Fistula: A Case Report
Authors: Kurnia Ermalinda , Fiona Widyasari  , Abla Ghanie  , Mariance
Published: November 2022

Congenital preauricular fistula is a malformation of the six auditory hillocks during the development of the auricle when an imperfect fusion of the first arch tuberculum to other tuberculums occurs and generates a tract. The difficulty in the surgical treatment for preauricular fistulas is the high recurrence rate. Surgical techniques were developed and modified to reduce the recurrence rate. This study aimed to describe a recurrent preauricular fistula and its treatment. A 7-year-old patient came to the otorhinolaryngology clinic with complaints of recurrent swelling and discharge on the left preauricular region. Initially, there was only a small hole at the base of the left ear since birth. A thick white discharge appeared and disappeared for 3 months. The lesion was itchy, and the patient frequently scratched it so that the area around the hole became red, swollen, and painful. The patient had undergone surgery for the same complaint in 2016 with a simple fistulectomy. Oral antibiotics were given and planned for fistulectomy under general anesthesia. Evaluation until 3 months postoperatively showed good surgical wounds and non-recurrent infections. In conclusion, the supra-auricula approach had a significantly lower recurrence rate than the sinusectomy approach, and was recommended to make it the standard primary procedure for preauricular sinus excision besides its use in recurrent cases.

Authors: Ingarasi Patrica , Suwigno Nany Pudianti
Published: November 2022

This research aims to examine and analyze the benefits obtained by MSME actors in Surakarta after registering their trademarks. This research uses the empirical research method. The primary data were collected using direct interviews. The data obtained in this research were then analyzed qualitatively to analyze problems and answer study purposes. The results show that the IPR has provided legal certainty and protection for the Owner. Apart from getting legal protection, the rights Owner of the trademark also gets material and immaterial benefits. In this case, the rights Owner of the Mal Mel trademark feels the immaterial benefits. Furthermore, the rights Owner of the Mal Mel trademark prefers to give a direct warning if she finds a social media account plagiarizing his trademark rather than through positive legal procedures. At the same time, the rights Owner of the Mal Mel trademark does not think of making a profit by earning and receiving compensation from plagiarists. Therefore, it is recommended for every business actor, especially those with large and developing scales, to register their trademarks. In addition, MSME actors can also register the trademark to DGIP using the collective system. On the other hand, it is also recommended for the Government increase public understanding and trust in solving problems through positive legal procedures, even though the crime of IPR plagiarism is included in the category of constituted complaint delict.

LED-light-activated photocatalytic performance of metal-free carbon-modified hexagonal boron nitride towards degradation of methylene blue and phenol
Authors: Mishra Nirmalendu S , Saravanan Pichiah
Published: November 2022

The present study outlines the transformation of non-photoresponsive hexagonal boron nitride (HBN) into a visible-light-responsive material. The carbon modification was achieved through a solid-state reaction procedure inside a tube furnace under nitrogen atmosphere. In comparison to HBN (bandgap of 5.2 eV), the carbon-modified boron nitride could efficiently absorb LED light irradiation with a light harvesting efficiency of ≈90% and a direct bandgap of 2 eV. The introduction of carbon into the HBN lattice led to a significant change in the electronic environment through the formation of C–B and C–N bonds which resulted in improved visible light activity, lower charge transfer resistance, and improved charge carrier density (2.97 × 1019 cm−3). This subsequently enhanced the photocurrent density (three times) and decreased the photovoltage decay time (two times) in comparison to those of HBN. The electronic band structure (obtained through Mott–Schottky plots) and charge trapping analysis confirmed the dominance of e−, O2−•, and •OH as dominant reactive oxygen species. The carbon modification could effectively remove 93.83% of methylene blue (MB, 20 ppm solution) and 48.56% of phenol (10 ppm solution) from the aqueous phase in comparison to HBN which shows zero activity in the visible region.
The Role of Spirituality in Existential Confrontation with a Case Study
Authors: SAÇAR Hatice Hilal
Published: November 2022

This study deals with existential psychotherapy from the perspective of Rollo May and Irvin Yalom; it includes the concepts of death, freedom, meaning, responsibility, and loneliness. Furthermore, an existential approach is an approach that cares about cultural sensitivity and works with its clients from this perspective. When it comes to sensitivity to culture, it is almost impossible not to talk about religion and spirituality. Spirituality has been an increasingly found field in literature in recent years. In addition, it is an indisputable fact that the spiritual resources of the client should be investigated, the spiritual and religious dimensions of the clients should be studied in the psychological counseling process, and sustainable coping mechanisms should be developed. When the literature is examined, it is seen that there are insufficient studies on how to deal with spirituality in the psychological counseling process in terms of existential theory. For this reason, this study aims to address the perspectives of existentialist philosophers on spirituality, to reveal the relationship between spirituality and existential psychology, to bring a spiritual perspective to existential psychological counseling processes on this ground, and to offer technical and process suggestions to the field workers. For this purpose, relevant literature information, existential spiritually oriented counseling principles and techniques, evaluations, suggestions in the conclusion, a case example, and formulations of this case are included in the study. With the given titles, a unique perspective is presented to spiritually oriented counseling practices from an existential perspective, and existential techniques are adapted to the culture.
Positive Psychology and Spirituality: A Review Study
Authors: BAYSAL Merve
Published: November 2022

Unlike traditional psychotherapy approaches focused on disease and disorder, positive psychology has opened a new window to the science of psychology by emphasizing the importance of embracing all aspects of individuals. Positive psychology approach not only underlines that the positive, strong aspects of individuals and the good aspects of life deserve at least as much attention as negative facts, but also states that the negative effects of existing problems can be eliminated by identifying and supporting the positive and strong aspects of the individual. Furthermore, positive psychology highlights the necessity of examining these aspects with scientific methods. Spirituality and religious belief occupy a central position in the lives of many individuals and affect the lives of individuals in various ways. Ignoring the spiritual/religious aspect of individuals in the psychotherapy process will lead to an incomplete evaluation. This is contrary to the basic point of view of positive psychology. Positive psychology is open to adressing spirituality in the psychotherapy process. In addition, spirituality is a notion that is examined as part of character strength and virtues in the positive psychology perspective. In this study, which aims to examine the place of spirituality in positive psychology, the relationship between positive psychology and spirituality is examined within the framework of the relevant literature, the basic concepts of positive psychology are discussed within the framework of spirituality. Additionally, the characteristics of the positive psychotherapy process are examined, the studies in which spiritual/religious practices are included in the positive psychotherapy process and these studies effects were given. It is hoped that this study will complete the missing points in the literature and offer a new perspective to practitioners and researchers.
The Relationship of Art Therapy to Spirituality
Authors: ÇINAR Merve Nur
Published: November 2022

Art therapy is based on the idea that creative artistic processes facilitate repair and healing and is a form of psychotherapy where image creation and object usage are the primary forms of expression and communication. Although art therapy’s emergence as a profession is relatively recent, the roots of using art for healing are as old as the symbolic rituals ancient cultures used in religious ceremonies. Art therapy also spread universally, from mummy’s ornaments in Egypt to Tibetan monks’ sand mandalas. The ancient intertwined history of the relationship between art and spirituality as well as between spirituality and healing has aroused curiosity about the nature of the relationship between art therapy and spirituality. Based on this curiosity, the article will address within its scope the definition of art therapy and its early roots, followed by discussion on the relationship between art therapy and spirituality with regard to six propositions. By considering the close old friendship art has with therapy and spirituality in the context of art therapy, the study can contribute to the currently relevant literature on both art therapy and spirituality, as well as to the theoretical framework of spiritually oriented practices in art therapy.

Published: November 2022

The aim of this study is conducting a comparative analysis of the effect of 24 weeks of therapy of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (aGLP-1) semaglutide and a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2) empaglifosin on the left heart chambers and the severity of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in patient with arterial hypertension (АН), obesity and diabetes mellitus (DM).

Materials and methods: 91 patients (40.7% women and 59.3% men) aged 44-65 years with type 2 DM (glycated hemoglobin level over 6.5%) and obesity (WC over 80 cm in women and over 94 cm in men) were successively included in the study. All patients received standard antihypertensive and hypolipidemic therapy, in addition, all patients were on metformin monotherapy at a dose of 1000-2000 mg/day (during the follow-up, the therapy did not change).

Anthropometric measurements, echocardiography were carried out to evaluate the structural and functional parameters of LV using transmitral and tissue Doppler and determine the thickness of EAT. After a preliminary examination, all patients were randomized on two groups: the 1st group was prescribed semaglutide therapy with an initial dose of 0.25 mg and gradual titration every 4 weeks to 1.0 mg, the 2nd group was prescribed empagliflozin at a dose of 10 or 25 mg. After 24 weeks, all patients were re-examined.

Results: semaglutide and empagliflozin improved a structural and functional condition of the left heart chambers — LV mass, LV mass index (LVMI), the LA index volume, practically all of indicators of the LV diastolic function (E/A ratio, LV-filling pressure, Еmlat , Emsept velosity) in patients with AH, obesity and DM 2 types. In addition, in the semaglutide group, a pronounced decrease in the EAT thickness with 0.76 cm [0.56; 0.8] to 0.71 cm [0.5; 0.74] (p < 0.001), which was not observed in the empagliflozin group.

Apparently, semaglutide and empagliflozin positive effect on the left heart chambers achieved by the different mechanisms. In the 1st group by means of decrease LVMI and EAT thickness, in the 2nd group through reduction heart preload and LV-filling pressure according improve LV relaxation.

Conclusion: the new sugar-lowering agents should be prescribed to patients with type 2 DM and CVD or a high risk of CVD development taking into account their impact on the cardiovascular prognosis, and in some cases considering the need for a combination of these drugs.

Les territoires français face à la mobilité
Authors: Woessner Raymond
Published: November 2022

La notion d’égalité vient brouiller la rationalité technocratique, très souvent centralisatrice, du système de transports déployé dans l’espace français. Avec elle, ce n’est plus l’équilibre financier, voire la profitabilité du système, qui compte, mais son accessibilité promise à tous les citoyens. Il convient d’abord de prendre la mesure du caractère inégalitaire des décennies de développement des transports depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Puis l’analyse du futur conduit à interroger les contraintes et les opportunités spécifiques offertes par le rail et la route, principalement dès lors qu’on les examine en termes d’égalité. Deux politiques territoriales en matière de mobilité doivent alors être distinguées et décideront de l’avenir, plus ou moins inégal, des transports.
Viticulteurs, ouvriers d’usine, bonnes à tout faire, maçons, la diversité d’un siècle d’immigration espagnole en France
Authors: Fernández Vicente María José , Lillo Natacha
Published: November 2022

Entre 1880 et 1980, la France vit l’arrivée de plusieurs vagues de migrants espagnols. Cette immigration essentiellement frontalière et agricole d’avant la Première Guerre mondiale se diversifia géographiquement et s’inséra dans le tissu industriel à partir de 1915 et durant tout l’entre-deux-guerres. Après l’arrivée massive des exilés antifranquistes en 1939, à partir de 1956, une nouvelle vague, immense, de travailleuses et de travailleurs déferla sur le territoire français, marquée par les tentatives de contrôle du régime franquiste. À toutes ces époques, les « Espagnols de France » oscillèrent entre vie communautaire, favorisée dans les régions de forte présence, et intégration à la société française, notamment à travers l’engagement syndical et politique.
Les commerçants espagnols et la Phalange en France. Approche transversale d’un engagement corporatif
Authors: Carbonne Arnaud
Published: November 2022

En 1937, en pleine guerre d’Espagne, la Phalange espagnole traditionaliste et des Juntes d’offensive national-syndicalistes (FET-JONS), construite sur le modèle du Parti fasciste italien, devient le parti unique de la dictature du général Francisco Franco. En France, ce conflit divise les populations espagnoles immigrées et entraîne une forte polarisation sociale et professionnelle. Les négociants et commerçants en oranges prennent, pour la plupart, le parti de Franco, jusqu’à devenir centraux au sein de la section française de la Phalange durant l’Occupation.

Cet article revient sur la trajectoire de Nelly Huri pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Cette bibliothécaire parisienne, d’origine égyptienne, rejoignit la Résistance et fût arrêtée puis déportée en 1944 aux camps de Ravensbrück et Beendorf. Ce travail s’appuie sur les archives de l’Association des anciennes déportées et internées de la Résistance (ADIR), créée dès le retour des déportées en France afin de leur venir en aide matériellement et moralement. Cette association témoignait de l’action de ces femmes au sein de la Résistance mais aussi de la réalité des camps de concentration. Ce fonds a été confié à la BDIC en 2000. Il conserve notamment des témoignages de déportées et des objets rapportés des camps, dont ceux de Nelly Huri.
Quel financement pour les institutions culturelles après la pandémie ?
Authors: Tobelem Jean-Michel
Published: November 2022

Est-il réellement possible de forger de nouveaux modèles économiques pour les institutions culturelles ? Cet article examine les voies explorées habituellement et celles proposées récemment en vue de s’écarter des modes de financement en vigueur à ce jour, dans l’objectif de réduire l’importance des financements publics. Au-delà de la faisabilité des mesures préconisées, d’autres critères doivent être pris en compte – en particulier à la lumière de la pandémie. En définitive, plus que d’introuvables nouveaux modèles économiques, ce sont plutôt des modes de gestion inédits qui restent à inventer dans le champ culturel non marchand.

Gagner sa vie, vivre sa vocation : le cas des danseurs
Authors: Sorignet Pierre-Emmanuel
Published: November 2022

La danse est un métier de vocation dans lequel la dimension économique est une condition majeure d’entrée et de maintien dans l’activité. Prendre au sérieux l’engagement dans la carrière artistique demande d’articuler la dimension matérielle et symbolique des investissements. Considérer aussi bien la situation familiale des artistes, les institutions de formation et les régimes spécifiques de soutien à la création et au métier d’artiste apparait central pour expliquer les conditions de production esthétique.

Le Golpe au village : le protagonisme des frères Zamacola dans la guerre d’Espagne
Authors: Kogan Étienne
Published: November 2022

Lorsqu’éclate la guerre d’Espagne, trois frères phalangistes de Puerto Santa Maria (Cadix) alors incarcérés se trouvent propulsés parmi les nouveaux détenteurs de l’autorité locale. À travers la relecture d’un corpus documentaire et archivistique exhumé par un historien local, cet article entend analyser leur trajectoire à travers le prisme de la notion de « protagonisme » forgée par l’historien Haim Burstin à propos de la Révolution française. L’itinéraire des frères Zamacola est étudié dans leur rapport aux autorités nouvelles, qui nous permet d’explorer les modalités d’émergence de l’État franquiste et la gestion de ses premiers soutiens.
La musique sous emprise politique
Authors: Mathieu Lilian
Published: November 2022

Opération de propagande nazie soutenue par Vichy, le concert de musique allemande donné à Lyon le 18 mai 1942 par la Philharmonie de Berlin révèle une intense politisation de la musique. Celle-ci se repère à l’important dispositif de surveillance mis en place par la police vichyste par crainte des perturbations annoncées par la Résistance, mais aussi par la composition de son public. Le traitement statistique de la liste des personnes ayant acheté un billet suggère un recrutement à dominante socialement favorisée et politiquement conservatrice, contrastant avec celui des manifestants interpellés le soir du concert. La tenue, deux jours plus tard, d’un concert de musique française confirme que la musique ne pouvait, dans ce contexte particulier, relever du seul plaisir esthétique mais était inévitablement appréhendée au travers de schèmes de perception politiques.
Which networks permit stable allocations? A theory of network‐based comparisons
Authors: Cheng Chen , Xing Yiqing
Published: November 2022

Economic agents care about their relative well‐being, and the comparisons are usually local. We capture this using a network model, in which an agent's payoff depends on the ranking of their allocation among their network neighbors. Given a network, an allocation is called
α‐stable if no blocking coalition whose size is an
α fraction of the population can strictly improve their payoffs. We find a sufficient and necessary condition for a network to permit an
α‐stable allocation: the network has an independent set whose size is at least 1 − 
α of the network population. The characterization of permissive networks holds not only for our baseline ranking preference but also for a range of preferences under which the sets of stable allocations are expanded. We also provide a sufficient condition for an allocation to be stable. Extensions of the model concern directed networks and the case where agents have limited enforcement power.
Servitization for Teaching and Research Laboratories
Authors: Reverberi Davide , Esposito Giovanni , Romagnoli Giovanni
Published: November 2022

In this paper, we present a pattern for assessing the feasibility of laboratories and lab networks to operate in a service-oriented form of business. Our focus is on the field of engineering, and on a network of academic labs, and we aim to provide a practical tool for disclosing the opportunity of servitization, or to use Laboratories-as-a-Service (LaaS), for interested companies. By using a traditional pitch deck approach, we define the available digital online offer of the specific labs, and we structure a questionnaire to investigate the market demand. Afterwards, we sketch the main servitization characteristics required to digital online labs from a business perspective.
The pattern we propose has been used as a guideline for interviews to selected stakeholders of two specific labs, namely a remotely available RFID lab for internal logistics in the retail sector, and a serious game for operations and supply chain management. The answers we collected suggested the feasibility of the labs servitization, by defining both strengths and weaknesses.
Time and temporality in a religious utopia: Migration to rural safe haven as the world ends
Authors: Mitsuhara Teruko Vida
Published: November 2022

As alternatives to and critiques of capitalist modernity, utopian communities have long been of interest to social scientists. But most of these endeavours do not survive past one generation, fuelling suspicion about their utility or merit. Those that do survive hold a common thread in that there is a strong religious or philosophical component tying the community together. But the role of religion in contemporary utopias has not been a consistent focus of analysis. This paper explores the case of Mayapur, a rural community in West Bengal, India that is the spiritual homeland of the Gaudiya Vaishanavism strand of Hinduism, a centuries-old religion that spread around the world in the counterculture era and inspired many to convert and migrate to Mayapur. The community recently celebrated its 50th anniversary and boasts its third generation of children. Core elements contributing to the continuity of this utopia project are Hindu understandings of space and time, including karma and reincarnation, which inform devotees’ critique of the dystopic present of Western modernity and motivate their migration to the Bengali countryside.

Published: November 2022

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in social, economic, and healthcare disruption unprecedently worldwide. It has brought practically everything to a halt. Moreover, it has dramatically accelerated the adoption of digital technology resulting in a growing number of incidences of cybercrime, including social engineering to access sensitive information. Furthermore, with the reduced amount of common physical labor, some digital surveillance and security systems were proposed for keeping the trace of transmission. Nevertheless, various automatic associated tracking implementations and the lack of smartphone usage among people bring privacy and security concerns. So, this chapter mainly discusses digital security and privacy violations with their protection measures and the recently developed digital surveillance systems after COVID-19. Furthermore, this chapter will pave the way to understand the futuristic tools and aspects that could be worthwhile in tackling digital privacy and security challenges in managing such infectious diseases.
Evaluation of the cytotoxic and mutagenic potential of Rosmarinus officinalis L. essential oil through the Allium cepa Leach bioassay

Published: November 2022

The species Rosmarinus officinalis L. (rosemary) is an herb from the Lamiaceae family, widely used in cooking as a food preservative, seasoning or condiment. It also stands out for its therapeutic properties, mainly presenting antioxidant, antibacterial and antitumor activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic and mutagenic activity of R. officinalis L. essential oil through the Allium cepa bioassay. This test constitutes an excellent plant model routinely used due to its sensitivity, low cost and good correlation with test systems in mammals. The defined concentrations for carrying out the test were 750, 243, 81 and 27 µg mL-1. Five bulbs were used, 4 roots of each, measuring approximately 2 cm, and they were analyzed on two slides. All assays were performed at least in triplicate and compared to the negative control. The statistical test of analysis of variance (ANOVA with a fixed factor) was used, followed by Tukey's multiple comparisons test, for p < 0.05. For this purpose, the GraphPad Prism program (version 6.0) was used. The results showed a cytotoxic and mutagenic effect for all concentrations used of the essential oil of R. officinalis L. However, it is important to conduct further research using other genotoxicological tests with different endpoints and at different concentrations, in order to clarify the interaction of the essential oil of the species R. officinalis L. with the genetic material of the cell and its possible mechanism of action.
Intelligent Vision-based Autonomous Ship Landing Of VTOL UAVs
Authors: Lee Bochan , Saj Vishnu , Kalathil Dileep , Benedict Moble
Published: November 2022

The paper discusses an intelligent vision-based control solution for autonomous tracking and landing of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on ships without utilizing GPS signals. The central idea involves automating the Navy helicopter ship
landing procedure where the pilot utilizes the ship as the visual reference for long-range tracking; however, it refers to a standardized visual cue installed on most Navy ships called the "horizon bar" for the final approach and landing phases. This idea is implemented using a uniquely
designed nonlinear controller integrated with machine vision. The vision system utilizes machine learning based object detection for long-range ship tracking and classical computer vision for the estimation of aircraft relative position and orientation utilizing the horizon bar during the
final approach and landing phases. The nonlinear controller operates based on the information estimated by the vision system and has demonstrated robust tracking performance even in the presence of uncertainties. The developed autonomous ship landing system was implemented on a quad-rotor
UAV equipped with an onboard camera, and approach and landing were successfully demonstrated on a moving deck, which imitates realistic ship deck motions. Extensive simulations and flight tests were conducted to demonstrate vertical landing safety, tracking capability, and landing accuracy.

Background: The association between a history of pregnancy and liver fibrosis remains unclear. Herein, we investigated the association between reproductive factors, including a history of pregnancy and liver fibrosis, in postmenopausal Korean women.Methods: This study used nationally representative, population-based data collected from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008–2017. Of 14,624 women with natural menopause, 11,085 with no previous history of any type of cancer, hepatitis, or chronic heavy alcohol consumption were enrolled. We investigated the reproductive factors, including a history of pregnancy, total reproductive years, age at menarche and menopause, and oral contraceptive use. Liver fibrosis was defined as a Fibrosis-4 index score ≥2.67 kg/m2.Results: Of the study participants, 372 (3.3%) had advanced liver fibrosis. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that women with a history of more than one pregnancy were associated with a lower risk of liver fibrosis compared to women who had never been pregnant, after adjusting for potential confounders (adjusted odds ratio, 0.30; 95% confidence interval, 0.15–0.59). The risk of liver fibrosis did not increase significantly with an increasing number of pregnancies (P for trend=0.135). Other reproductive factors, including total reproductive years, age at menopause and menarche, and oral contraceptive use, were not significantly associated with liver fibrosis.Conclusion: Postmenopausal women who had experienced one or more pregnancies had a reduced risk of liver fibrosis. Our findings reveal a potential protective role of pregnancy against liver fibrosis.
