Auto-immune rheumatic diseases are characterised by high levels of inflammation that accelerate the development of atherosclerosis, increasing the cardiovascular risk. Direct evaluation of arteries such as of intima media thickness measurement is a simple test that asesses the cerebral and cardiovascular risk. In the initial stages, an increase of the intimal media thickness can be observed. Later on, atherosclerosis (plaques), stenosis and occlusion of the arteries can be identified. Indirect evaluation of the cardiovascular risk can be performed using serological markers - fibrinogen, C reactive protein, estimated sedimentation rate, total cholesterol, low density lipoproteins and high density lipoproteins, homocysteine levels etc. The presence of certain lifestyle factors that increase the risk, such as smoking, sedentarism and associated pathologies such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension were assesed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The aim of the study is to prove the relationship between anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha therapy effect on the cardiovascular risk in rheumatoid arthritis patients

Published: October 2022

Morus alba L., Cnidoscolus chayamansa Mc.Vaugh, Moringa oleifera, and Stevia rebaudiana Bert. are widely used as ingredients in a traditional Thai beverage. This beverage is known for its beneficial properties for human health, such as its high antioxidant capacity, which give it the potential to be developed as a functional beverage. The objective of this study is to determine the optimum antioxidant properties of polyherbal formulations of leaf extracts using an in vitro method. There are 22 formulations consisting of various proportions of the extracts designated using Design Expert 6.0.4. The antioxidant study of the individual extracts and their different combinations was conducted using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, a Ferric Reduction Antioxidant Potential Assay (FRAP), and a Total Phenolic Content (TPC) assay. The results showed that Morus alba L. has higher antioxidant properties in most of the assays when tested individually, as compared to Cnidoscolus chayamansa Mc.Vaugh, Moringa oleifera, and Stevia rebaudiana Bert. A synergistic effect was exhibited in most of the polyherbal combinations. From the optimization process, it was revealed that the quadratic model was statistically significant for the FRAP and the TPC, while the special cubic model was statistically significant for the DPPH. The optimum mixture for antioxidant properties was found to contain an extract of 24.87 percent of Cnidoscolus chayamansa Mc.Vaugh, 0.64 percent of Moringa oleifera, and 73.46 percent of Morus alba L., with a desirability of 0.988. In conclusion, this present study justifies the promising antioxidant properties of the polyherbal mixtures. Thus, it is sensible to use a studied herbal formulation for the development of any antioxidant supplements or food products.

Authors: Hameed Sadaf , Khan M. Bashir , Sandhu Naveed Yousaf
Published: October 2022

Health and education are two important sectors that can determine a country’s development. Pakistan is a developing nation that has invested a lot of money in providing its people with better health and educational facilities. It is better to provide awareness among citizens to take care of their health rather than huge investments in curing the diseases. Students’ health has a positive impact on their learning abilities, and once they are aware of the healthy habits taught in schools, they can become healthy students and can achieve better in academics. The main purpose of this research is to examine the status of health education in public schools and to locate the ways through which health is promoted, via schools as a platform. The study examined five different elements of school health education: Personal Health and Life skills, Healthy school environment, Health and Nutrition Services, Disease control and prevention, School-community Partnership. The quantitative research method was employed using a survey strategy of school teachers. The study depicts the prevalence of health education components, with varying degree, in both primary and secondary schools. The Independent sample t-test was used to analyze the variances and mean differences between the groups. The statistics have shown that in urban and rural areas, schools undergo similar practices regarding health education. A separate policy to bridge health and education in the form of school health education has been recommended to provide the basic guidelines for the authorities to take actions to foster students’ learning capabilities.

Published: October 2022

Blepharoplasty is an operation where redundant skin and musculature, and excess fat are resected and removed for functional, or aesthetic purposes, or both. Blepharoplasty is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures. No previous studies have explored the factors that affect a patient’s decision to undergo blepharoplasty. We explored the factors that can affect the decision to undergo blepharoplasty in patients of the oculoplastic clinic, and specifically investigated the effect of consultation time on the patient’s decision to undergo blepharoplasty. This research was a retrospective cohort study undertaken in the private oculoplastic clinic Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. The study was conducted on patients seeking blepharoplasty in the oculoplastic clinic of the primary investigator between December 2021 and February 2022. A convenient sampling technique was used for patient recruitment. The Chi-square test, independent t-test and ANOVA were all used to test factors associated with consultation time, and factors associated with patients’ decision to undergo blepharoplasty. A total of 97 participants were included in the study; 57 (58.8%) participants decided to undergo blepharoplasty, whereas 40 (41.2%) decided not to undergo blepharoplasty. Consultation time was not significantly associated with patients’ decision to undergo blepharoplasty. The presence of eyelid deformity or disease was the only factor significantly associated with the patients’ decision to undergo blepharoplasty. No significant association was found between consultation time and patient’ decision to undergo blepharoplasty. Further investigations are recommended to determine the factors that influence patients’ decision to undergo elective aesthetic surgery.

Vision-Based Approach for Autism Diagnosis Using Eye Tracking based on Machine Learning and Deep Learning
Authors: Rashid Ali F. , Shaker Shaimaa H.
Published: October 2022

Although the early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is highly sought, it is still a challenging task that requires a battery of cognitive tests and hours of clinical exams to be properly accomplished. ASD may manifest itself in various ways, which makes diagnosing it even more challenging. However, although diagnostic tests are generally devised by specialists, human mistakes are still possible. Computer-assisted technologies can be quite useful in this respect for aiding in the selection procedure. The use of eye tracking as a crucial component of ASD screening evaluation based on the distinctive characteristics of the eye gaze is continued in this article. This research adds to the growing body of evidence that eye tracking technologies may help in ASD screening. Eye tracking, visualization, using machine learning and deep learning are part of the suggested solution. Eye-tracking scan paths were first converted into a visual representation in the form of a series of pictures. After that, an image classification job was taught to a convolutional neural network. The findings of the experiments showed that using a visual representation simplified the diagnostic process while also achieving excellent accuracy. The convolutional neural network model, in particular, can attain promising classification accuracy. This shows that visuals are capable of encoding information about gaze movements and its underlying dynamics. Based on the greatest information coefficient, we examined potential relationships between autism severity and eye movement dynamics. The results demonstrate that using the great potential in combining eye tracking, visualization, machine learning, and deep learning to create an impartial tool to help in ASD screening. Generally, the approach we propose may be used to identify various diseases, including neurodevelopmental problems.

Authors: Waskito Tri Nugroho , Bisri M. , Limantara Lily Montarcih , Soetopo Widandi
Published: October 2022

The Saguling dam is built on the cascade system of the Citarum river. The Saguling dam is located upstream of the system over the Cirata and Jatiluhur dams. Besides having the many benefits (irrigation, recreation, flood control, water storage, etc.), the Saguling dam saves the risk of big dangers in the case of the failure. The general failure or dam break reason of the Saguling dam can happen due to the internal and external factors. The internal factor is an occurrence of breach in the dam body that causes the process of piping in the top, center and low part of the dam body. Another internal factor is the mal-function of the spillway if the water discharge is too much. The external factor is the big flood discharge that can cause the overtopping. This research intends to conduct the simulation of dam failure or dam breaks in the Saguling dam. The methodology consists of data collection for the material of dam break analysis 2D like hydrology data, digital map, and technical data of dam. Then, the collected data was analyzed using the HEC-RAS software. Considering the possibilities of failure risk of Saguling dam, the simulation analysis of dam failure or dam break was performed for some scenarios and their impacts on the downstream part of the dam. The results show that the Saguling dam with the overtopping scenario has the worse impact than the piping scenario with the maximal inundation area and the possibility area of 19.39 km2. The simulation of the Saguling dam failure or dam break produces the flood discharge whose flow will reach the Cirata reservoir in 3 hours.

Authors: Bachtiar Shafur , Limantara Lily Montarcih , Sholichin Moh. , Soetopo Widandi
Published: October 2022

The Duriangkang and Muka Kuning reservoirs play an important role in supplying clean water to Batam City. The Duriangkang reservoir was built from 1992 until 1995 as the first estuary dam in Indonesia and the largest reservoir in Batam city. These two reservoirs are the cascade reservoirs. The dam with an effective storage capacity of 107 million m3 works to fulfill the water needs with a capacity of 2,500 l/s. However, the Muka Kuning reservoir was finished in 1990, but it was newly turned in 1992. At the beginning, the Muka Kuning WTP had a water production capacity of 310 l/s, but the capacity was increased to 600 l/s in 2015 along with the increasing water need in Batam. This research intends to analyze the water balance in the Duriangkang-Muka Kuning cascade reservoirs and to investigate the potency of the Duriangkang reservoir that can support the water availability in the Muka Kuning. The methodology uses water balance simulation in the Duriangkang-Muka Kuning reservoir to analyze the potency of the Duriangkang reservoir that can be used to support the water availability in the Muka Kuning reservoir. The catchment area of the Duriangkang reservoir now consists of residences, society plantations, forestry areas, empty land, and industry, which can decrease the amount of water availability to be stored every year. The results of the water balance analysis indicate that the water availability of the Duriangkang reservoir is in surplus conditions throughout the year in the wet, normal, and dry year conditions. Therefore, the Duriangkang reservoir has the potency to support the water availability in the Muka Kuning reservoir.

Authors: Kang Jong-Su , Paek Su-Yong , Rim Chung-Ryol
Published: October 2022

This article aims to describe a novel design method of disturbance compensator in ADRC (Active Disturbance Rejection Control) based on Lyapunov stability theory. Error-based state equation is used to simplify the ADRC structure. The state feedback controller is designed using LQ (Linear Quadratic) method based on a linearized model. The generalized ESO (Extended State Observer) estimates the nonlinear part, model uncertainty, and external disturbance regarded as "total disturbance." Based on the estimate of the disturbance, disturbance compensator is designed using Lyapunov stability theory. In conventional ADRC, after estimating the disturbance compensator rejects the disturbance. But in this paper, it was not simply rejected. Instead the estimate of the disturbance is used in compensator design to make the Lyapunov candidate decrease more quickly. Our method allowed improved the convergence rate of ADRC. A numerical example and IWP (Inertia Wheel Pendulum) stabilization simulation confirmed the new method for effectiveness evaluation.

Authors: deHaan Jonathan
Published: October 2022

What is this? An exploration of well-designed games, game design “best practices,” solid steps in my Game Terakoya teaching, and straightforward questions for other teachers using games. I’ll loop back again and again ;) in this paper to the central concept of “loops:” sequences or systems that repeat and vary to different educational or entertaining effects.
Why did you make it? I read and think a lot about games and game design. I also spend a lot of time designing and improving my teaching. I noticed the connections and wanted to create something that would help other teachers think about the loops in their teaching as well.
Who is it for? It’s for experienced teachers: you’ve been teaching for “forever” … step back a bit from your work and think about whether your teaching is overly complex and not “loopy” enough. Let’s all aim for some elegant ludic language pedagogy!
