Jalousie Conflit Matrimoniale
Authors: IKAPI Françoise Michelle , NIZEYIMANA Isaïe , Teghonong Jean
Published: September 2020

L’objet de notre étude porte sur la jalousie. Définie comme un sentiment fondé sur le désir de posséder la personne aimée et sur la crainte de la perdre au profit d’un rival, l’objectif ici est de confronter les logiques relationnelles établies entre les partenaires de la relation face à la jalousie dans le couple.

En partant du constat que la jalousie constitue l’une des principales causes des conflits matrimoniaux et des violences conjugales, il s’agit de comprendre d’une part, comment se donne à voir le phénomène de la jalousie au sein du couple, en terme de crises, de conflits et de violences conjugales.

Et d’autre part, pourquoi la jalousie cause-t-elle autant de crimes passionnels au sein de notre société aujourd’hui l’hypothèse stipule que la jalousie est une modalité ambivalente d’interactions conjugales qui induit un déséquilibre du lien affectif excessif dans le fonctionnement du couple.

Autrement dit, il s’agit des modes relationnels interactifs qui engendrent des violences conjugales parce que l’enjeu repose sur des modalités bipolaires. Une enquête de terrain par entretien semi-directifs à été effectuée au quartier Malibé dans la commune d’Akanda auprès de d’un échantillon de dix couples, dont quatre en couples mariées et six vivant maritalement et sous le même toit. En considérant le couple comme le lieu où l’homme et la femme trouvent leur épanouissement, notre modèle d’analyse s’inscrit dans la théorie de l’analyse des comportements individuels de Raymond BOUDON. Toutefois, elle intègre également les paradigmes fonctionnalistes de DURKHEIN (contrôle et contraintes) et ceux de l’interactionnisme symbolique de Goffman (Stigmates). Le traitement qualitatif des données collectées nous a permis de voir comment les comportements individuels, dans une relation amoureuse où alternent passion et peur (c’est-à-dire la jalousie), peuvent conduire aux conflits matrimoniaux et au-delà et aux violences conjugales.

D’où la confirmation de notre hypothèse de recherche fondée sur le déséquilibre d’un lien affectif excessif entre preuve d’amour et crainte de la perte de l’autre, exclusivité affective et émotions destructrices.

Authors: Pomykalski Przemysław , Filipiak Piotr
Published: September 2020

We review the theory and evidence on IPO activity and underpricing focusing on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Although the topic has been under investigation in the past, we believe that the recent decade of low interest rates deserves inquiry. We research the extent of underpricing during this period and further conclude that three factors had a statistically significant influence on initial public offering underpricing during this period: the year of IPO, risk-free rate and WIG close value.

Authors: Nichols Lynn Stover , Eagerton Greg , Bordelon Curry
Published: September 2020

The year 2020 features the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birth. Her legacy is often recalled as simply being “the lady with the lamp” who cared for sick and wounded British soldiers; however, her impact on the nursing profession includes serving as a role model for many leadership behaviors and strategies that have positively impacted the health of communities and populations around the world. Through her tireless endeavors, Nightingale exemplified many leadership roles, including advocate, change agent, interprofessional collaborator, and visionary. The development of effective skills in these leadership roles remains important for all levels of nursing leaders in today's health-care environment. This article showcases Nightingale's leadership in selected leadership roles, and demonstrates her continued impact on contemporary nurses.

Authors: Bahramnezhad Fatemeh , Asgari Parvaneh
Published: September 2020

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic as a public health emergency poses dramatic challenges for healthcare systems. The experiences of health-care workers are important in planning for future outbreaks of infectious diseases. This study explored the lived experiences of 14 nurses in Tehran, Iran caring for coronavirus patients using an interpretative phenomenological approach as described by Van Manen. In-depth interviews were audio-recorded between March 10 and May 5, 2020. The essence of the nurses ‘experiences caring for patients with COVID-19 was categorized as three themes and eight subthemes: (a) Strong pressure because of coronavirus: initial fear, loneliness, communication challenges, exhaustion. (b) Turn threats into opportunities: improvement of nursing image, professional development. (c) Nurses ‘expectations: expectations of people, expectations of government. The findings of this study showed that identifying the challenges and needs of health-care providers is necessary to create a safe health-care system and to prepare nurses and expand their knowledge and attitudes to care for patients in new crises in the future.

Authors: Koutsakas Philippos , Chorozidis George , Karamatsouki Angeliki , Karagiannidis Charalampos
Published: September 2020

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) appeared in the area of educational technologies in 2008. Until 2013, academic research into MOOCs focused mainly on their application to adults as well as students or graduates of tertiary education. However, since 2013, the rising number of K–12 students enrolled in higher education MOOCs made MOOCs a de facto reality in pretertiary education and triggered universities, governments, and MOOC providers to (a) develop MOOCs specifically designed for pretertiary education, and (b) research their potential and value in K–12 educational settings. This resulted in a notable number of K–12 MOOCs and pilot research works in the literature that focused on the potential of MOOCs in compulsory education settings, as well as on their ability to reshape and transform the current educational K–12 framework. This work seeks to (a) trace, analyze, and review the existing literature on K–12 MOOCs,  (b) identify representative MOOC implementations, (c) classify and organize research trends and patterns, and (d) reveal MOOCs’ potential value and impact on K–12 settings. The research used a narrative literature review methodology in order to critically review and qualitatively analyze twenty-one research publications in a systematic manner. Analysis of relevant works demonstrated that MOOCs, under a set of prerequisites, can be effectively incorporated into and positively affect pretertiary education.

Authors: Yang Hongwei , Su Jian , Bradley Kelly D.
Published: September 2020

With the rapid growth of online learning and the increased attention paid to student attrition in online programs, much research has been aimed at studying the effectiveness of online education to improve students’ online learning experience and student retention. Utilizing the online learning literature as a multi-faceted theoretical framework, the study developed and employed a new survey instrument. The Self-Directed Online Learning Scale (SDOLS) was used to examine graduate student perceptions of effectiveness of online learning environments as demonstrated by their ability to take charge of their own learning, and to identify key factors in instructional design for effective improvements. The study applied the Rasch rating scale model to evaluate and validate SDOLS through a psychometric lens to establish the reliability and validity of SDOLS. Results from Rasch analysis addressed two research questions. First, evidence was found to generally support the new instrument as being psychometrically sound but three problematic items were also identified as grounds for future improvement of SDOLS. Second, the study assessed the importance of various factors as measured by the SDOLS items in contributing to students’ ability to self-manage their own online learning. Finally, the new instrument is expected to contribute to the work of various stakeholders in online education and can serve to improve students’ online learning experience and effectiveness, increase online retention rates, and reduce online dropouts.

Published: September 2020

As online learning is becoming very popular in formal educational settings and in individual development, online exams are starting to be recognized as one of the more efficient assessment methods. Online exams are effective in either blended or traditional forms of learning, and, when appropriately used, bring benefits to both learners and the learning process. However, learners’ perceptions of online exams in developing countries have not been widely studied despite the potential of such research for contributing to more effective use of online exams in these countries. Thus, this study served two purposes. First, it aimed to investigate students’ perceptions of online exams at a state university in Turkey, and at a state university in Kyrgyzstan. Second, the study compared the results. Structured as a mixed study, the research was conducted during the 2018-2019 fall term. The participants were 370 undergraduate students taking first-year courses online. Quantitative data considered learners’ perception scores gathered via a survey, whereas qualitative data considered learners’ opinions in response to an open-ended question. According to the quantitative analysis, learners’ perceptions differed according to gender, major, and prior online course experience variables. In addition, Turkish and Kyrgyz learners differed in that Turkish learners found online exams less stressful and more reliable and fairer than traditional paper-based exams when compared with their Kyrgyz counterparts. The qualitative analysis provided important results for future planning in both institutions.
Evaluation of Student Feedback Within a MOOC Using Sentiment Analysis and Target Groups
Authors: Lundqvist Karsten , Liyanagunawardena Tharindu , Starkey Louise
Published: September 2020

Many course designers trying to evaluate the experience of participants in a MOOC will find it difficult to track and analyse the online actions and interactions of students because there may be thousands of learners enrolled in courses that sometimes last only a few weeks. This study explores the use of automated sentiment analysis in assessing student experience in a beginner computer programming MOOC. A dataset of more than 25,000 online posts made by participants during the course was analysed and compared to student feedback. The results were further analysed by grouping participants according to their prior knowledge of the subject: beginner, experienced, and unknown. In this study, the average sentiment expressed through online posts reflected the feedback statements. Beginners, the target group for the MOOC, were more positive about the course than experienced participants, largely due to the extra assistance they received. Many experienced participants had expected to learn about topics that were beyond the scope of the MOOC. The results suggest that MOOC designers should consider using sentiment analysis to evaluate student feedback and inform MOOC design.

Profile of Airway Patency, Respiratory Rate, PaCO2, and PaO2 in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury Patients (GCS <9) In Emergency Room Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya
Authors: Hutauruk Maria Marind Desrianti , Dharmawati Ira , Setiawan Philia
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is the most common neurotrauma with high morbidity and mortality. Many guidelines recommend the use of mechanical ventilation for severe TBI patients, but there are limited resources of procuring ventilator machine in hospitals especially in developing countries. Yet it is not comparable with the number of TBI patients. Objective: This study is purposed to provide the profile of ventilation and oxygenation (airway patency, RR, PaCO2, and PaO2) in severe TBI patients (GCS<9) admitted in the Emergency Room (ER) of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya. Method and Material: This is a retrospective study using medical records of patients with TBI who were admitted in the ER of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital from January to December 2017. The patient's general characteristics, blood gas analysis (PaCO2, PaO2), airway patency were recorded and analyzed. Results and Discussion: Thirty-seven severe TBI patients were included in the analysis. 30 men (81.1%) and 7 women (18.9%) with an average of 37±16 years old (range: 5-65) were studied. Most of the patients (94.6%) had MAP between 60 and 160 mmHg, PaCO2<35 mmHg (72.9%), PaO2>60 mmHg (100%), RR>20 breaths per minute (70.2%), and patent airways (64.9%) with simple support of oxygen. 8.1% of all of those patients had PaCO2>45 mmHg. Conclusion: Most of the severe TBI admitted in the ER of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital had hypocapnia or respiratory rate higher than the normal range. Though one-third of the patient has partial obstruction of the airway, no significant hypoxemia is found.
Transportation and The Use of Oxygen
Authors: Abbas Kun Arifi
Published: September 2020

Introduction: All living things need a certain amount of oxygen which is obtained from free air, which is continuous throughout life, but cannot be stored in the body as a reserve. Oxygen is distributed throughout the body to the mitochondria of cells which are used in metabolic processes along with glucose to produce ATP (energy source for cell activity) and remove carbon dioxide (CO2). Literature Review: The exchange of oxygen as a metabolic material for the body and carbon dioxide as the end product of the body’s metabolism is done through a process called respiration. Blood pumped by the heart carries oxygen from the lungs to all body tissues and brings back the blood containing carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs for gas exchange. Oxygen transport in the blood takes two forms, namely bound to hemoglobin/Hb (the largest) and dissolved. Meanwhile, the transportation of carbon dioxide in the blood takes 3 forms, namely:  carbonic ion (the largest), dissolved, and binds to Hb. Conclusion: The consumption of oxygen in the body requires processes and is associated with several organ systems. If one of the systems is not functioning properly, it can cause oxygen deficiency, thus the cells do not consume enough oxygen, which can cause anaerobic metabolism and if it becomes severe it will cause the death of cells, organs, and the individual.

Repeat breeding is a reproductive disorder that harms dairy farmers because of the unachieved target to obtain one calf per year and decreased milk production. The repeat breeding syndrome can be caused by malnutrition. This study aimed to determine the effect of feeding silage, complete feed, and growth promoters in repeat breeder cows to restore the services per conception (S/C) and daily milk production. Thirty repeat breeder Holstein Friesian cows were divided randomly into three groups. The control group (P0) was fed 30-40 kg forage and 3-4 kg concentrate/head/day. Group P1 was given 8-10 kg silage or complete feed alternately every day; whereas P2 was given the same as for the P1 group, added with 10 ml growth promoter/head/day. Milk production and S/C were measured after six months of treatment. The results showed that the P1 and P2 groups returned S/C to normal (1.40 ± 0.52 and 1.30 ± 0.48), while the S/C of P0 group was 3.20 ± 0.63 (p <0.05). Daily milk production in the P1 and P2 groups (14.20 ± 1.40 and 14.60 ± 1.43 l/d) was also higher (p <0.05) than the control group (8.30 ± 1.06 l/d). It could be concluded that feeding silage and complete feeds alternately daily, with or without the addition of growth promoter, improved the S/C to the normal range and increased milk production.

The purpose of this study was to determine the reproductive efficiency of dairy cows in the presence of non-specific bacteria in the reproductive tract. This study was a descriptive study of 20 healthy and cycling dairy cows. The identification of non-specific bacteria in the reproductive tract was conducted in the previous study. Data were collected from interview, questionaire, and direct observation at the beginning of the study. Detection of estrus was performed visually, followed by artificial insemination 12-18 hours later. Non-return to estrus was checked after 21 days. Artificial insemination was repeated up to three times on cows returning to estrous. Pregnancy was checked through rectal palpation 60 days after the last insemination. Pregnant cows were followed until calving. The results showed that the estrus rate, non-return rate (NRR), conception rate (CR), calving rate (CvR), services per conception (S/C), and days open (DO), were respectively 100%, 85%, 85%, 85%, 1.3, and 93 days. It could be concluded that the presence of non-specific bacteria in the reproductive tract of dairy cows did not affect the reproductive efficiency so that pregnancy and calving could still occur.

Published: September 2020

Purpose: In this study our aim was to investigate the current etiology of posterior urethral stricture disease in our department and to observe if there have been any differences in the major causes of urethral strictures.
Patients and Methods: We analysed 116 male patients between March 2009 and September 2019 to evaluate the etiology of posterior urethral strictures. All patients had been assesed preoperatively,including detailed medical history,physical examination,retrograde urethrogram and uroflowmetry. We examined all patients in terms of age, stricture site,the most probable cause of the stricture and stricture length. We classified the location of posterior stricture into three anatomic parts: membranous urethra,prostatic urethra and bladder neck and stricture etiologies were subcategorized into idiopathic,inflammatory,iatrogenic and traumatic.
Results: The most common site of the strictures was the membranous urethra (67 patients, 57.8%) followed by the prostatic urethra ( 27 patients, 23.3%) and bladder neck (22 patients, 18.9%). The two main overall posterior urethral stricture causes were iatrogenic (79 patients,68.1%) and traumatic (24 patients,20.7%).The less common causes were idiopathic (11 patients,9.5%) and urethritis(2 patients,1.7%). Of the patients in iatrogenic group, TUR-P and TUR-BT were the most common etiologic factors. ( 42 patients,36.2%) All urethral strictures were short(<2 cm) and treated with endourological surgery.( Optical İnternal Urethrotomy and urethral dilation)
Conclusion: In our instution, especially iatrogenic causes were the most seen etiologic factor of posterior urethral strictures.These findings suggested us to be more careful during the endoscopic procedure , to use suitable calibered instrumentation and avoid unnecessary urethral interventions.

Dalam kegiatan produksi tidak jarang target produksi harian yang telah ditetapkan tidak tercapai. Salah satu cara mengetahui penyebab tidak tercapainya produksi suatu perusahaan adalah dengan menganalisis nilai effective utilization (EU) untuk mengetahui seberapa efektif penggunaan alat yang digunakan untuk beroperasi. Dimana nilai effective utilization (EU) dipengaruhi oleh dua variabel yaitu physical availability (PA) dan used of availability (UA).Untuk mengetahui kuatnya hubungan antar variabel maka dapat dilihat dari besarnya angka r atau korelasi. Nilai r ini berkisar antara -1 sampai 1 dimana semakin mendekati angka 1 maka akan semakin kuat hubungan tersebut. Besarnya nilai pengaruh antara variabel dapat dinilai dari besarnya nilai r2 (r-square), dimana nilainya berkisar dari 0 sampai 1.Parameter yang memiliki hubungan paling kuat dengan produksi untuk alat gali muat PC1250SP-8 adalah used of availability (UA) dengan nilai R sebesar 0,9443 dan r-square sebesar 0.8917 dengan kenaikan produksi sebanyak 52,98 BCM setiap 1% perbaikan. Parameter yang memiliki hubungan paling kuat dengan produksi untuk alat gali muat ZAX870H-3F adalah used of availability (UA) dengan nilai R sebesar 0,9292 dan r-square sebesar 0,8634 dengan kenaikan produksi sebanyak 40,17 BCM setiap 1% perbaikan. Parameter yang memiliki hubungan paling kuat dengan produksi untuk alat gali muat PC400-21 adalah used of availability (UA) dengan nilai R sebesar 0,9829 dan r-square sebesar 0,9660 dengan kenaikan produksi sebanyak 21,54 BCM setiap 1% perbaikan.  Kata-kata kunci: Overburden Removal, Physical Availability, Used of Availability

Besarnya perubahan nilai parameter kualitas batubara perlu diketahui agar spesifikasi yang diinginkan oleh buyer terpenuhi. Dalam mengatasi penyimpangan parameter kualitas batubara tersebut maka perusahaan berusaha mencari solusi mengenai penanganan kontrol kualitas batubara sehingga spesifikasi batubara dapat tercapai. Upaya yang dilakukan untuk tercapainya spesifikasi yang diinginkan perlu dilakukan analisis perubahan parameter yang terjadi akibat aktivitas pengiriman batubara yaitu pada saat batubara di stockpile dan kualitas batubara yang telah dibawa ke barge.Metode penelitian yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah melakukan analisis proksimat analisis seperti analisis Total Moisture (TM), analisis kadar abu (Ash), analisis total sulfur dan analisis calorific value. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah membandingan parameter kualitas batubara pada stockpile dengan kualitas batubara di barge berdasarkan hasil analisis kualitas di laboraturium sehingga bisa menganalisis pengaruh perubahan antara parameter kualitas batubara yang satu dengan yang lainnya pada kedua lokasi tersebut.Perbedaan parameter kualitas batubara di stockpile dan barge memiliki rerata perbedaan TM -0.26%, ASH 0.271% TS 0.029%, CV -30.664 cal/kg. Dengan rerata standart rejection nilai TM (arb) 34.56429%, ASH (arb) 2.535714%, TS (arb) 0.135714% dan CV (arb) 4339.286 Kcal/Kg. Pengaruh perubahan parameter kualitas batubara yang satu dengan yang lainnya dapat disimpulkan parameter TS dan Ash tidak merupakan faktor yang pengaruhi nilai CV sedangkan parameter TM lebih berpengaruh dimana naiknya nilai TM  sebanding dengan penurunan nilai CV. Untuk prediksi nilai kualitas batubara setelah kegiatan barging dapat diketahui dengan persamaan linear TM= 0.851, ASH =0.119, TS = 0.175 dan CV = 0.94. Keyword : total moisture, Stockpile, ash, batubara dan linear

Eksplorasi merupakan kegiatan penyelidikan suatu daerah yang diperkirakan atau yang diketahui mengandung endapan batubara sekaligus membuktikan kuantitas dan kualitas dari endapan batubara tersebut. Tahap eksplorasi berikutnya sampai pada menentukan ukuran, bentuk, letak sebaran kuantitas dan kualitas untuk kemudian dapat dilakukan kajian kemungkinan dilakukannya penambangan. Pada umumnya penetapan batas penambangan didasarkan pada kriteria stripping ratio. Tetapi pada perangkat lunak perencanaan dan perancangan minescape misalnya, untuk menggambarkan distribusi stripping ratio diperlukan expression. Sedangkan minescape sendiri menyediakan penggambaran otomatis distribusi overburden ratio untuk menentukan batas penambangan. Dengan penelitian ini saya mencoba menghubungkan keduanya.Penelitian dilakukan di CV Rizki Bintang Pit 1 blok tengah IUP Rizki Bintang yang belum dilakukan kegiatan penambangan. Permodelan batubara, pembuatan tiga variasi sudut lereng tunggal pada tiga variasi kedalaman desain Pityang menggunakan perangkat lunak komputer minescape 5.7 dan perhitungan volume (overburden dan batubara) menggunakan metode triangulasi. Hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan yaitu analisis hubungan nilai overburden ratio terhadap nilai stripping ratiodengan nilai koefisien determinasi secara linear > 0,9 dan nilai koefisien determinasi secara polynomial sama dengan 1. Keyword : Eksplorasi, Perhitungan, Triangulasi, Stripping Ratio, Overburden Ratio

Most consumers opt for Smartphones due to the extensive number of software applications that can be downloaded on their devices, thus increasing their functionality. However, this growing trend of application installation brings an issue of user protection, as most applications seek permission to access data on a user’s device. The risks this poses to sensitive data is real to both corporate and individual users. While Android has grown in popularity, this trend has not been followed by the efforts to increase the security of its users. This is a well-known set of problems, and prior solutions have approached it from the ground up; that is, they have focused on implementing reasonable security policies within the Android’s open-source kernel. While these solutions have achieved the goals of improving Android with such security policies, they are severely hampered by the way in which they have implemented them. In this work, a framework referred to as CenterYou is proposed to overcome these issues. It applies a pseudo data technique and a cloud-based decision-making system to scan and protect Smartphone devices from unnecessarily requested permissions by installed applications and identifies potential privacy leakages. The current paper demonstrated all aspects of the CenterYou application technical design. The work presented here provides a significant contribution to the field, as the technique based on pseudo data is used in the actual permissions administration of Android applications. Moreover, this system is user and cloud-driven, rather than being governed by over-privileged applications.

Organic carbon (OC) accumulation in soil mitigates greenhouse gases emission and improves soil health. We aimed to quantify the dynamics of OC stock in soils and to justify technologies that allow annual increasing OC stock in the arable soil layer by 4‰. We based the study on a field experiment established in 1936 in the 9-field crop rotation with a fallow on Chernozem in European Russia. The RothC version 26.3 was used for the reproducing and forecasting OC dynamics. In all fertilizer applications at FYM background, there was a decrease in the OC stock with preferable loss of active OC, except the period 1964-71 with 2-5‰ annual OC increase. The model estimated the annual C input in the arable soil layer as 1,900 kg·ha-1. For increasing OC stocks by 4‰ per year, one should raise input to 2400 kg·ha-1. Simulation was made for 2016-2090 using climate scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. Crop rotation without fallowing provided an initial increase of 3‰ and 6‰ of stocks in the RCP8.5 and RCP4.5 scenarios accordingly, followed by a loss in accumulated OC. Simulation demonstrates difficulties to increase OC concentration in Chernozems under intensive farming and potential capacity to rise OC stock through yield management.

A strategy to propose solutions to health-related problems recognizes that people, animals, and the environment are interconnected. Fusarium and Neocosmospora are an example of this interaction due to the capable of infecting plants, animals, and human. This review provides information on various aspects of these relations and proposes how to approach fusariosis with a One Health methodology. Here we give a framework to understand infection pathogenesis, through the epidemiological triad and explain how the broad utilization of fungicides in agriculture may play a role in the treatment of human fusariosis. We assess how plumbing systems and hospital environments might play a role as a reservoir for animal and human infections. We explain the role of antifungal resistance mechanism in both humans and agriculture. Our review emphasizes the importance of developing interdisciplinarity research studies where aquatic animals, plants, and human disease interactions can be explored through coordination and collaborative actions.

An increasing number of persons with cancer decide to choose complementary and alternative medicine. The purpose of the paper was to check the status of the use of complementary and alternative medicine methods in oncological patients and to compare health behaviours of patients using Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) with those using neither of these methods. The studies were conducted from August till January 2020 in the Oncology Center in the south-eastern Poland. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a group of 208 oncological patients. The authors' own questionnaire and the standardized Health Behaviour Inventory were used. Most of the patients (85,09%) declared that they used complementary and alternative medicine methods. The most common methods chosen by the respondents included vitamin C, green tea and prayer. The vast majority of the respondents did not inform their oncologist about the use of CAM. 45,19% of the respondents had a high rate of health behaviours. It was observed that there was no communication related to the use of CAM among the patients and healthcare staff. Patients using CAM demonstrated more positive health behaviours than those who were not using these methods.
Revisiting CARD-FISH for Detection of Vibrio spp. in Natural Seawater

Vibrio is a bacterial genus widely distributed in natural aquatic systems. Some Vibrio species are pathogenic and can cause severe diseases in both marine organisms and humans. Previous studies revealed a link between the current climate change and increased incidence of the Vibrio-associated diseases recently causing sanitary, economic and/or ecological problems worldwide. The conventional culture-based methods (e.g. cultivation of TCBS agar) used to monitor the presence of Vibrio spp. in environmental samples are not always straightforward and can underestimate the number of cells, especially if the microbial population contains a fraction of ‘dormant’ cells (e.g. cells in Viable but not Culturable (VBNC) state). However, this problem can be overcome by using alternative culture-free approaches such as Catalyzed Reporter Deposition-Fluorescence In situ Hybridization (CARD-FISH). To optimize CARD-FISH for efficient and reliable detection of Vibrio spp. in environmental samples, we have used both computer-assisted and experimental approaches. Our results demonstrate that the use of the optimized protocol along with a very specific probe, ViB572a, can offer the high sensitivity and selectivity of CARD-FISH detection of marine vibrios in natural seawater.
Examining the Change of Human Mobility Adherent to Social Restriction Policies and its Effect on COVID-19 Cases in Australia
Authors: Wang Siqin , Liu Yan , Hu Tao
Published: September 2020

Policy induced decline of human mobility has been recognised to be effective in controlling the COVID-19 spread especially in the initial stage of the outbreak, although the relationship among mobility, policy implementation, and virus spread remains contentious. Coupling data of confirmed COVID-19 cases with Google mobility data in Australia, we present a state-level empirical study to: 1) inspect the temporal variation of COVID-19 spread and the change of mobility adherent to social restriction policies; 2) examine the extent that different types of mobility are associated with the COVID-19 spread in eight Australian states/territories; and 3) analyse the time-lag effect of mobility restriction on the COVID-19 spread. We find that social restriction policies implemented in the early stage of the pandemic controlled the COVID-19 spread effectively; the restriction of human mobility has a time-lag effect on growth rates, and the strength of the mobility-spread correlation increases up to seven days after policy implementation but decreases afterwards. The association between mobility and COVID-19 spread varies across space and time, and subjects to the types of mobility. Thus, it is important for governments to consider the degree to which lockdown conditions can be eased by accounting for this dynamic mobility-spread relationship.
Robust Dynamics of Synthetic Molecular Systems as A Consequence of Broken Symmetry
Authors: Kageyama Yoshiyuki
Published: September 2020

The construction of molecular robotic-like objects that imitate living things is an important challenge for current chemists. Such molecular devices are expected to perform their duties robustly to carry out mechanical motion, process information, and make independent decisions. Dissipative self-organization plays an essential role in meeting these purposes. To produce a micro-robot that can perform the above tasks autonomously as a single entity, a function generator is required. Although many elegant review articles featuring chemical devices that mimic biological mechanical functions have been published recently, the dissipative structure, which is the minimum requirement, has not been sufficiently discussed. This article aims to show clearly that dissipative self-organization is a phenomenon involving autonomy, robustness, mechanical functions, and energy transformation. Moreover, the author details the recent experimental results of an autonomous light-driven molecular device that achieves all of these features. In addition, a chemical model of cell-amplification is also discussed to focus on the generation of hierarchical movement by dissipative self-organization. By reviewing this research, it may be perceived that mainstream approaches to synthetic chemistry have not always been appropriate. In summary, the author proposes that the integration of catalytic functions is a key issue for the creation of autonomous microarchitecture.
Comparison of Gender, Age, and Body Mass Index Levels for Spatiotemporal Parameters of Bilateral Gait Pattern
Authors: Abualait Turki S. , Ahsan Mohammad
Published: September 2020

Studies on the gait's parameters have been identified on the patients population. Most researchers confirm that the patients walk differently than normal people and they may have a risk for falls. Consistent finding and description of gender, age, and body mass index differences in gait studies is rare in healthy subjects. A cross-sectional study with forty-five young adult (F = 20, M = 25) was conducted. Stadiometer and Physilog 4 inertial sensors were used for data collection. A gait analyser 5.2 software (GaitUp, S.A. Lausanne, Switzerland) was used to determine spatiotemporal parameters. No statistically significant differences were found in any bilateral foot gait parameters with respect to gender, age, and body mass index. Females are found with higher total double support and cadence than males. Cadence also increases with age. Obese people showed lower gait speed, cadence, and total double support. These findings may be beneficial to those who have abnormal gait pattern due to age, body mass index differences, decreased muscle strength, spasticity, and joint mobility. This important informations should be considered to rehabilitate patients with abnormal gait patterns to controlling dynamic balance and riks to falling.
Inflation Model and Riemann Tensor on Non-associative Algebra
Authors: Dorofeev Vyacheslav
Published: September 2020

In this article the reduction of a $n$-dimensional space to a $k$-dimensional space is considered as a reduction of $N^n$ states to $N^k$ states, where $N$ stands for the number of single-particle states per unit of spatial length. It turns out, this space reduction could be understood as another definition of inflation. It is shown that the introduction of the non-associativity of the algebra of physical fields in a homogeneous space leads to a nonlinear equation, the solutions of which can be considered as two-stage inflation. Using the example of reduction $T\times R^7$ to $T\times R^3$, it is shown that there is a continuous cross-linking of the Friedmann and inflationary stages of algebraic inflation at times $10^{-15}$ with the number of baryons $10^{80}$ in the Universe. In this paper, we construct a new gravitational constant based on a nonassociative octonion algebra.
