Authors: Suroso Dwi , Rupaksi Refa , Krisnawan Aditya , Siddiq Nur
Published: September 2021

The device-free indoor localization (DFIL) research is gaining attention due to the popularity of location-based service (LBS)-based advertisement. In DFIL, a user or an object does not need to bring any device to be localized. In this paper, we propose the Wi-Fi-based DFIL and the random forest algorithm for the fingerprint-based technique. The simple parameter commonly used in indoor localization is the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). We apply the fingerprint technique because of its reliability to handle the RSSI fluctuation and time-varying effect in a static indoor environment. We conducted an actual measurement campaign to observe the DFIL's implementation visibility. The DFIL system works by comparing the database fingerprint in an empty open office with the database in which a person is inside the measurement area without bringing any devices. Thus, we have the device-free RSSI database for fingerprint technique from both empty rooms and RSSI affected by a person inside the room. We validated the random forest algorithm results by comparing them with the k-nearest neighbor (kNN) and artificial neural network (ANN). The results show that our proposed system's accuracy is better than kNN and ANN with a mean error of 0.63 m than kNN with 0.80 m and ANN with 1.01 m. Meanwhile, the precision of the random forest is 0.63 m, whereas kNN and ANN are 0.67 m and 0.80 m, showing that the random forest performed better. We concluded that our simple DFIL system is visible to apply with acceptable accuracy performance.

Published: September 2021

Crispness is the most appealing characteristic of dry food products. However, the term crispness has different subjective meaning among consumers. This study aims to quantitatively measure the crispness of potato crisp by performing compression test on a single specimen, and analyzing the compressive behavior, i.e., compressive strain energy. The crispness of the specimens were differentiated by changing the moisture exposure durations, which are 0, 1, 2, 3, 6 hours, in a room and ambient condition. The measured load and displacement data were transformed into stress and strain curves. The strain energy for every 1% strain increment was calculated and investigated to determine the crispness. The crispness difference among specimens of 0, 3, and 6 hours groups was significantly perceived at 8% of strain. It was revealed that the 3 and 6 hours of room air exposure could decrease the crispness by 17% and 45%, respectively. This suggests the compressive strain energy at a certain strain can be an indicator of crispness. This experimental study is expected to evolve food engineering by proposing a simple yet precise crispness measurement method for dry food.

Authors: Kamba B.
Published: September 2021

The study evaluatrd the effect of Baobab, Adansonia digitata pod extract on larvae of Culex quinquefaciatus. The plant material was sun-dried for two weeks and pulverized using mortar and pestle and stored at room temperature for further processes. Powdered plant material was extracted using aqueous cold extraction method. The condensed extract was screened for phytochemicals. Indoor resting adult blood-fed female Culex mosquitoes were collected and introduced into Entomological Cages in the Laboratory and oviposited on water in the bowls. The third instar larvae were confirmed as Cx. quinquefasciatus using Hopkins keys for Culicinae. Triplicates of twenty-five late third instar larvae were tested in pod extract concentrations of 0.5mg/L, 1.0mg/L, 1.5mg/L, 2.0mg/L and 2.50mg/L. Mortality was recorded after 24hr of exposure. The LC50 was determined using probit analysis, while one-way ANOVA was used to establish significant differences in larval mean mortality. Phytochemical constituents such as carbohydrate, cardiac glycosides, steroids, triterpenes, tannins, flavonoids and alkaloids were present. The mean mortality of test concentrations differed significantly (p≤0.05) from control. However, the concentrations: 0.5mg/L and 8.0mg/L had 49% and 71% mortalities, respectively with LC50 of 0.6mg/L. It can be concluded that, the aqueous pod extract of Adansonia digitata demonstrated good activity against Cx. quinquefasciatus.

Authors: Nwanade C.F.
Published: September 2021

The insecticidal and residual effectiveness of Diatomaceous Earth (DE) (Nigeria-derived) and Spinosad® against Sitophilus zeamais on stored rice were evaluated under laboratory temperature (30 ± 2°C) and relative humidity (70 ± 5%). Adult mortality and progeny emergence were studied at three dose rates of DE and Spinosad® (0.1g/kg, 0.5g/kg, and 1g/kg). Spinosad® at 0.1-1.0 g/kg dose rates demonstrated significant results in mortality compared to DE and control groups at 14 d post-treatment and after the 2nd month of storage treatment. Spinosad® treated grains at the same dose rates also resulted in a significant reduction (P<0.05) in the emergence of progeny. Unlike DE, Spinosad® showed some insecticidal efficacy against S. zeamais on storage.
On Models and Capacity Bounds for DNA-based Storage Channels
Authors: Yan Zihui , Liang Cong
Published: September 2021

In recent years, DNA-based systems have become a promising medium for long-term data storage. There are two layers of errors in DNA-based storage systems. The first is the dropouts of the DNA strands, which has been characterized in the shuffling-sampling channel. The second is insertions, deletions, and substitutions of nucleotides in individual DNA molecules. In this paper, we describe a DNA noisy synchronization error channel to characterize the errors in individual DNA molecules. We derive non-trivial lower and upper capacity bounds of the DNA noisy synchronization error channel based on information theory. By cascading these two channels, we provide theoretical capacity limits of the DNA storage system. These results reaffirm that DNA is a reliable storage medium with high storage density potential.
A Time Series Analysis-Based Forecasting Framework for the Indian Healthcare Sector
Authors: Sen Jaydip , Datta Chaudhuri Tamal
Published: September 2021

Designing
efficient and robust algorithms for accurate prediction of stock market prices
is one of the most exciting challenges in the field of time series analysis and
forecasting. With the exponential rate of development and evolution of
sophisticated algorithms and with the availability of fast computing platforms,
it has now become possible to effectively and efficiently extract, store,
process and analyze high volume of stock market data with diversity in its contents. Availability of complex algorithms which can
execute very fast on parallel architecture over the cloud has made it possible
to achieve higher accuracy in forecasting results while reducing the time
required for computation. In this paper, we use the time series data of the
healthcare sector of India for the period January 2010 till December 2016. We
first demonstrate a decomposition approach of the time series and then
illustrate how the decomposition results provide us with useful insights into
the behavior and properties exhibited by the time series. Further, based on the
structural analysis of the time series, we propose six different methods of
forecasting for predicting the time series index of the healthcare sector.
Extensive results are provided on the performance of the forecasting methods to
demonstrate their effectiveness.

Capturing Electricity Market Dynamics in the Optimal Trading of Strategic Agents using Neural Network Constrained Optimization
Authors: Dolányi Mihály , Bruninx Kenneth , Toubeau Jean-François , Delarue Erik
Published: September 2021

In competitive electricity markets the optimal trading problem of an electricity market agent is commonly formulated as a bi-level program, and solved as mathematical program with equilibrium constraints (MPEC). In this paper, an alternative paradigm, labeled as mathematical program with neural network constraint (MPNNC), is developed to incorporate complex market dynamics in the optimal bidding strategy. This method uses input-convex neural networks (ICNNs) to represent the mapping between the upper-level (agent) decisions and the lower-level (market) outcomes, i.e., to replace the lower-level problem by a neural network. In a comparative analysis, the optimal bidding problem of a load agent is formulated via the proposed MPNNC and via the classical bi-level programming method, and compared against each other.
The effect of different anesthesia applications on serum Pentraxin-3 levels: a randomized prospective study
Authors: Altinisik Hatice Betul , Beyazit Fatma , Turkon Hakan
Published: September 2021

Objective: Pentraxin-3 (PTX3) is a biomarker shown to correlate with the severity of infections. It is a good indicator of mortality and is useful in monitoring treatment success. However, there is inadequate information about the factors affecting PTX3 levels. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different anaesthesia types on serum PTX3 levels.

Materials/Patients and Methods: Serum PTX3 levels were obtained from patients who were under general anaesthesia (GA) and spinal anaesthesia (SA) for a caesarean section (C-section). Blood Samples were collected preoperatively at 6 h and 24 h postoperatively. Biomarkers such as C-reactive protein, white blood cells, neutrophils and lymphocytes were also assessed as biomarkers.

Results: No difference was found in the preoperative serum PTX3 levels among the participants (p > 0.05). A significant increase was observed when the preoperative PTX3 levels (0.16 ng/mL) were compared with the postoperative levels at 6 h (0.25 ng/mL) and 24 h (0.54 ng/mL) in the GA group. No significant change was found in the PTX3 levels at 0–6–24 h measurements in the SA group. Nevertheless, the GA group was found to be significantly higher than the SA group at 6 h and 24 h postoperatively (p < 0.05). Additionally, No correlation was observed between PTX3 levels and other biomarkers.

Conclusions: This study showed that when coupled with C-section, GA increased the PTX3 levels postoperatively compared with the PTX3 levels during the preoperative period. No significant change was observed with SA. The PTX-3 levels should be considered to increase in association with GA in suspected infectious and inflammatory cases. Therefore, regional anaesthesia should be preferred.
Validation of the modified nutric score on critically ill patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A retrospective study
Authors: Doganay Guler , Cirik Mustafa Ozgur , Yurtseven Gulsah , Alagoz Ali
Published: September 2021

Objective: In critical care patients, the nutritional status is related to many factors such as existing co-morbidities, nutritional history, and the current disease. It is crucial to apply a comprehensive nutritional assessment and to start nutritional support as soon as possible in intensive care unit(ICU) where malnutrition is common. There are many studies on the association between modified Nutritional Risk in Critical Patients (mNUTRIC) score and outcome in ICU patients but the effectiveness of tools for risk assessment is still remains unclear. We aimed to define the correlation between the mNUTRIC score and 28-day mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in ICU.

Materials and Methods: The admission of COPD patients to the respiratory ICU in 2018 were determined retrospectively. Demographic data of all patients, body mass index (BMI), mNUTRIC scores, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Assessment II (APACHE II), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), time from patient ward to ICU admission, sepsis parameters including C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin,  ICU length of stay (LOS ICU), vasopressor use, and 28-day mortality were recorded.

Results: 159 COPD patients were involved in the study. Age, CCI, day from patient ward to ICU admission, SOFA score, APACHE II score and 28-day mortality were detected to be statistically higher in patients with mNUTRIC ≥ 5 (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: The mNUTRIC score could be an proper method for nutritional risk to predict prognosis in critically ill COPD patients.
The effect of vitamin K1 on VEGF levels in chick embryos with type 1 diabetes and Diabetic Retinopathy induced by streptozotocin
Authors: Bozkurt Erhan , Atay Emre , Koca Oğuz Han , Sabaner Mehmet Cem
Published: September 2021

Objective: Hyperglycemia caused by Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is associated with long-term dysfunction such as diabetic retinopathy (DRP). The most effective growth factor in the development of DRP is the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Vitamin K1 reduces hyperglycemia and prevents the development of DM. In this study, we aimed to create streptozotocin (STZ) induced DM and DRP in chick embryos and to show whether vitamin K1 can prevent early-stage DRP by measuring VEGF levels.

Material and Methods: The 140 specific pathogen-free (SPF) fertilized chicken eggs were used in this study. Three different STZ doses were administered to 120 SPF eggs for an induced DM model. Three different vitamin K1 doses were administered in each STZ dose group. On the 12th day and 18th day the remaining 20 SPF eggs were separated as control groups. On the 18th-day, blood glucose, blood insulin and VEGF levels were measured.

Results: 0.45 mg/egg STZ dose (STZ3) was determined as the optimal/ideal dose for the DM model. When the group-administered STZ3 and vitamin K1 were evaluated among themselves; it was determined that there were significant changes in blood glucose, blood insulin, VEGF levels of the STZ3+K1-3 group compared to the STZ3+K1-1 and STZ3+K1-2 groups (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Vitamin K1 increases blood insulin levels and decreases blood glucose levels. When hyperglycemia reduces, the VEGF levels reduce. Vitamin K1 protects from DRP by reducing VEGF levels.

Authors: Tonetti Adriano Luiz , Mattos de Oliveira Cruz Luana , Lento Araujo Gomes Bianca Graziella , Campos Salles Figueiredo Isabel
Published: September 2021

Foram estudados reatores anaeróbios associados a um filtro de areia para o tratamento do esgoto doméstico de uma empresa de Campinas (São Paulo). Na Etapa 1 houve a associação do tanque séptico a um filtro de areia, e na Etapa 2 foi pesquisada a combinação do tanque séptico a um filtro anaeróbio e filtro de areia. O resultado encontrado foi que, ao associar o tanque séptico ao filtro de areia, eram necessárias 10 semanas até o entupimento do leito de areia. O filtro anaeróbio preenchido com cascas de coco verde (Cocos nucifera) trouxe uma ampliação desse período para 20 semanas. A menor manutenção pode ter sido ocasionada pela diminuição em 70 ± 11% na concentração de sólidos suspensos propiciada pelo filtro anaeróbio. O efluente gerado sempre apresentou baixos valores de turbidez (<10 UT) e DBO (<17 mgL-1). A nitrificação saltou de 10,0 ± 9,3% quando havia a associação do tanque séptico com o filtro de areia para 76,0 ± 16,7% do N-Total quando foi introduzido o filtro anaeróbio.

The reforms of Peter I became the basis for the gradual restructuring of all the military forces of Siberia. The main role in the Russian military cavalry of the Peter's era was played by dragoons. Under Peter I, dragoon regiments were the only type of Russian regular cavalry. In the field army, Peter I ordered the formation of 34 dragoon regiments. In addition, garrison dragoon regiments were formed in the province in the strategically important cities of Azov, Astrakhan, Kazan, and Tobolsk. In the 3050s of the XVIII century, the number of field dragoon regiments of the Russian Empire decreased to 20. In 1744, 3 field dragoon regiments Olonetsky, Vologda and Lutsk, and 2 field infantry regiments Shirvan and Nasheburg were sent to Siberia to protect the region from the Dzungars. By the decree of the Senate of September 29, 1744, all the Russian troops of Siberia were subordinated to the chief commander of the Siberian Corps, who was subordinate to the Military College. Major-General Christian Kinderman was appointed the main commander in Siberia. In March 1756, the Russian army consisted of 3 cuirassiers, 29 dragoons, and 46 infantry regiments, totaling 78 army regiments, with 172,440 men. As a result, during the Seven Years ' War, the number of field dragoon units in Russia decreased by 3 times and by 1763 was only 7 regiments. As a result, if in 1754 the dragoons were 36,627 people (92.6 %), then by 1767 there were only 4,802 people (12.8%) from the Russian cavalry in their ranks.

Широке розповсюдження нових технологій та інноваційних рішень в економічній діяльності, що відбувається останніми роками, а також посилена інтеграція досягнень технічного прогресу з мережевими технологіями, визначають нові тенденції в глобальній економічній системі, які мають наслідком формування нових принципів економічних відносин, котрі реалізуються в цифровій економіці. Трансформації, котрі відбуваються як на макро- так і на мікрорівні, стосуються не лише технологічних проривів глобальних інтернет-гігантів типу Google чи Amazon, але й знаходять своє місце і в бізнес-процесах середніх та малих підприємств по всьому світу. Іншим наслідком діджиталізації економічних відносин стає зростання ролі споживача, котрий одержує можливості безпосередньої взаємодії з виробниками товарів і послуг, впливаючи при цьому на миттєву модифікацію товару, який він хоче придбати в режим онлайн. Однак, реалізація таких можливостей цифрової економіки потребує також глобального приєднання споживачів до технічних її елементів, котрі забезпечують їм таку взаємодію.

В статті розглянуто сучасну специфіку застосування Промислового інтернету речей в бізнес-процесах суб’єктів господарювання різноманітних сфер діяльності. Визначено, що якщо на початку використання IIoT було характерне лише для сервісних компаній, які займалися наданням різноманітних послуг своїм споживачам і трансформували цей процес, цілком перемістивши його в Інтернет мережу, то на даний час відбувається широке поширення IIoT й безпосередньо у виробничих процесах. При цьому існують об’єктивні труднощі з інтеграцією автоматизованих систем управління виробництвом та сучасних систем мережевої взаємодії, оскільки це може потребувати реорганізації виробничого процесу. Досліджено, що забезпечення ефективності бізнес-процесів із застосуванням Промислового інтернету речей можливе лише за умови використання ефективних каналів та методів зв’язку, які забезпечують взаємодію пристроїв, на основі яких функціонує бізнес-процес. Таким чином, інноваційні рішення, що, які впроваджуються разом з Промисловим інтернетом речей, сприяють динамічному розвитку підприємств, які запроваджують дані системи у свою діяльність і включаються до глобальної мережі цифрової економіки.

AbstractThe real contribution of fish farmer in the development of the national economy through the amount of fisheries production is not followed by the level of welfare of the fish farmer. That the welfare of fish farmers to be able to fulfill their needs with the income they obtain is still very limited. This article aims to analyze the legal empowerment model of fish farmer through the triple helix model development approach. This research is a sociolegal research which is a mixed method between legal research methods and social science. The data used are primary data and secondary data. The results showed that normatively, the role provisions of the government and fish breeders have been clearly regulated, but the provisions for tertiary institutions have not been regulated, even though the role played by universities is no less important. Higher education as one of the elements in the triple helix has human resources who are able to provide knowledge and understanding related to production sharing agreements through legal assistance and mentoring workshops. The government is responsible for the welfare of its citizens, not only acting as a regulator, but also as a facilitator, dynamist and catalyst.
