Estrogen Disrupting Pesticides in Nebraska Groundwater: Trends between Pesticide-contaminated Water and Estrogen-related Cancers in An Ecological Observational Study
Authors: New-Aaron Moses , Naveed Zaeema , Rogan Eleanor G.
Published: March 2021

Estrogen disrupting pesticides (EDP) are pesticides that modify estrogen activities in estrogen-producing vertebrates. A substantial amount of these pesticides has been detected in human tissues, and they function directly to disrupt estrogen synthesis or effector cells. This study examines EDP’s ecological distribution across Nebraska counties and its association with estrogen-related cancers (ERC). To determine the ecological distribution of selected EDP, county-level choropleth maps were created. Moreover, EDP was tested in separate linear models with different ERC to determine the association between ERC and EDP across Nebraska counties. Exposure data for this county-level study was obtained from the quality assessed agrichemical contaminant Nebraska groundwater database between 1 January 1974 and 31 December 2012. Acetochlor, atrazine, and its metabolites, deethylatrazine (DEA), and de-isopropyl atrazine (DIA) were the most frequently detected EDP in Nebraska groundwater. Moreover, Nebraska county-level potential confounder for ERC such as physically unhealthy days, % adult smoking, % obese adult, % uninsured, and % binge drinking were obtained from County Health Rankings 2010. ERC, which is the outcome variable (breast cancer, uterine cancer, and prostate cancer), were obtained from the Nebraska State profile of the National Cancer Institute. This was expressed as county-level age-standardized incidence cancer rates between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2017. Data characteristics were determined using percentages, mean, median, 25th and 75th percentile, minimum and maximum values. The relationship between county-level cancer rates and % wells positive for pesticides after adjusting for the county level potential confounders were analyzed in a linear regression model. Water supply wells positive for atrazine and DEA were observed to cluster in the South and South East counties of Nebraska. Furthermore, breast cancer and prostate cancer incidence rates were higher in the southeast of Nebraska with more atrazine and DEA. However, breast cancer and prostate cancer were not significantly associated in a linear regression model with any of the observed EDP. In contrast, uterine cancer was statistically associated with % water supply wells positive for acetochlor (β = 4.01, p = 0.04). While consistent associations were not observed between ERC and EDP from the GIS and the linear regression model, this study’s results can drive future conversation concerning the potential estrogenic effects of acetochlor, atrazine, and its metabolites on the incidence of breast, uterine and prostate cancer in the State of Nebraska.

Authors: Liang Zhongwei , Liu Xiaochu , Zou Tao , Xiao Jinrui
Published: March 2021

As the high productive efficiency of sprinkler irrigation is largely based on balanced soil moisture distribution, it is essential to study the exact effectiveness of water droplet infiltration, which provides a theoretical basis for rationally scheduling the circulation efficiency of groundwater in agricultural irrigation performance. This research carried out adaptive prediction of the droplet infiltration effectiveness of sprinkler irrigation by using a novel approach of a regularized sparse autoencoder–adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (RSAE–ANFIS), for the purpose of quantifying actual water droplet infiltration and effectiveness results of precision irrigation in various environmental conditions. The intelligent prediction experiment we implemented could be phased as: the demonstration of governing equations of droplet infiltration for sprinkler irrigation modeling; the measurement and computation of probability densities in water droplet infiltration; innovative establishment and working analysis of RSAE–ANFIS; and the adaptive prediction of infiltration effectiveness indexes, such as average soil moisture depth increment (θ, mm), irrigation infiltration efficiency (ea, %), irrigation turn duration efficiency (et, mm/min), and the uniformity coefficient of soil moisture infiltration (Cu, %), which were implemented to provide a comprehensive illustration for the effective scheduling of sprinkler irrigation. Result comparisons indicated that when jetting pressure (Pw) was 255.2 kPa, the impinge angle (Wa) was 42.5°, the water flow rate (Fa) was 0.67 kg/min, and continuous irrigation time (Tc) was 32.4 min (error tolerance = ±5%, the same as follows), thereby an optimum and stable effectiveness quality of sprinkler irrigation could be achieved, whereas average soil moisture depth increment (θ) was 57.6 mm, irrigation infiltration efficiency (ea) was 62.5%, irrigation turn duration efficiency (et) was 34.5 mm/min, and the uniformity coefficient of soil moisture infiltration (Cu) was 53.6%, accordingly. It could be concluded that the proposed approach of the regularized sparse autoencoder–adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system has outstanding predictive capability and possesses much better working superiority for infiltration effectiveness in accuracy and efficiency; meanwhile, a high agreement between the adaptive predicted and actual measured values of infiltration effectiveness could be obtained. This novel intelligent prediction system has been promoted constructively to improve the quality uniformity of sprinkler irrigation and, consequently, to facilitate the productive management of sprinkler irrigated agriculture.

Bergson’un Ruh-Zaman Anlayışı Bağlamında H. Nihal Atsız’ın Ruh Adam Romanının İncelenmesi
Authors: AKA ERDEM Nilüfer
Published: March 2021

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kuruluş aşamasında ülke aydınlarının mevcut durumu kurtarmak niyetiyle yöneldikleri farklı düşüncelere tanıklık eden H. N. Atsız, yazar, şair, fikir adamı ve tarihçi yönü ile yetiştiği ortamda öncü bir şahsiyettir. Eserlerinde dönem zihniyetinin aksak yönlerini eleştirerek tarihi milli bilinci okurlara kazandırmaya çalışmıştır. Tezli ve tarihi romanlarıyla dikkat çeken yazarın Ruh Adam romanı Uygur masalının şekillendirdiği fantastik kurgusuyla diğer romanlarından farklıdır. Fantastik kurgu, ruh ve zaman kavramları merkezinde oluşturulmuştur. Bireyin psikolojik hallerini dikkate alan 20. yüzyıl felsefecilerinden Henri Bergson felsefesinin bazı argümanları romanın kurgusunu besleyen bu nitelikleri açıklayabilmektedir. Dönemin pozitivist, materyalist ve mekanist görüşlerinin karşısında yer alan Bergson’un süre kavramının bireyin içsel yaşamındaki akışa, ruhi zamana işaret etmesi, Ruh Adam romanındaki başkarakter Selim Pusat’ın ruhunun zamandan ve mekândan aşkın oluşuna işaret etmektedir. Bergson’un sürekli yaratma olarak beliren hayatı anlamlandırışı, roman kurgusunun dinamik oluşumunu sağlayan ruh göçü meselesindeki devamlı oluşa karşılık gelmektedir. Böylelikle bu çalışmada Pusat’ın ruhsal gerçekliğiyle kendi içsel zamanı yani süre’yle ilişkili olan belleğin zaman ve mekân üstü devamlılığı konusu tartışmaya açılmıştır. Milli hafızanın devamlılığının Selim Pusat’ın şahsında ortaya konuluşu geçmişin bellekle ilişkisi ve kolektif ruhun taşıyıcılığı bağlamında irdelenmiştir. Selim Pusat’ın ruhunun kendi gerçekliği ve dış gerçeklik arasındaki ikircikli durumu merkeze alınarak Atsız’ın fikri yönü de göz ardı edilmeden ruh ve zaman öğelerinin titizlikle romanın öğelerinde uygun bir şekilde örgütlenmesi analiz edilmiştir.

Coastal Observations: Rapid development and colonization of a UK sand dune system
Authors: Williams A.T.
Published: March 2021

Between the years 1200 and 1600, vast quantities of sand were brought inshore from offshore bars as a result of centuries of ferocious storms, to form a series of dune systems along the South Wales coastline. Today, as a result of many housing, leisure, and industrial developments only a few remnants exist. On one such remnant at Porthcawl, Wales, UK, became a caravan site in the 1930s, which was abandoned in 1993 for political reasons. Within 27 years a minimum of 120,000 m3 of sand was transported from the adjacent beach and formed dunes >4 m in height along a 400- m frontal edge that extended some 130 m inland, approximately a third of the site. Typical vegetation found along the frontal part of the system are Ammophila arenaria (marram), Agropyron junceiforme (sand couch grass) and Euphorbia maritimum (spurge). To the rear of the system, vegetation included Agrostis tenuis and stolonifera, (bent and creeping bent grass), Cirsium avense (creeping thistle), and Caluna vulgaris (heather). A 4-m-high and c. 3000m2 area of a vigorous stand of Hippophae rhamnoides (sea buckthorn) has also formed. The rapidity of dune formation and vegetation colonization is staggering.

Published: March 2021

A coastal geomorphological study was conducted to assess the impact of seismic events on the southern coast of Puerto Rico (PR). The goal of this study was to provide new information related to the state of the coast and its geomorphic changes associated with the seismic sequence of 28 December 2019 and the 6.4-magnitude earthquake of 7 January 2020. Coastal geomorphic changes and damage to infrastructure were documented using a combination of a geographic information system (GIS), remote sensing techniques (e.g. unmanned aircraft system [UAS] images), ground-penetrating radar (GPR), high-resolution aerial photos, and field inspection techniques. A geospatial analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of the earthquake events and understand its associated effect on coastal communities’ exposure to this hazard. The findings indicate that the 6.4-magnitude earthquake caused remarkable geomorphic changes, generating a new shape for the southern coast of PR. Coastal changes were characterized by localized coastal subsidence, coastal landslides (e.g. rockslides and rockfalls), the collapse of natural arch-forming sea stacks, changes in cliff profiles, lateral spreading, the destruction of coastal infrastructure, inland shoreline migration, and coastal flooding. This information will be useful for designing new management tools and recontextualizing existing coastal planning instruments in post-earthquake scenarios. These findings clarify the importance of seismic events and their influence on coasts within active tectonic settings.

Prácticas de acompañamiento y segregación educativa en el ingreso a ETP-CET públicos de la ciudad de San Carlos de Bariloche, provincia de Río Negro
Authors:   , Delgado Mariana Laura
Published: March 2021

Este escrito de maestría buscó abordar las formas actuales de regulación estatal y las prácticas docentes de acompañamiento en los primeros años de la escuela secundaria técnica, en su relación con la garantía de igualdad de oportunidades. La escuela secundaria en todas sus modalidades se constituye en un derecho para lxs jóvenes de nuestro país con la sanción de la Ley de Educación Nacional N° 26.206/06 (LEN) que establece la obligatoriedad del nivel. Ello implica el ingreso de jóvenes que históricamente no habían sido pensados en la secundaria y que se constituyen en primeras generaciones en acceder y completar el nivel secundario. A partir de la sanción de las leyes nacional y provincial, de resoluciones provinciales, sobre la base de un paradigma de Derechos Humanos, se buscó poner en tensión la matriz selectiva que caracterizó históricamente al nivel secundario desde los orígenes del sistema educativo, a través de políticas educativas que buscan la inclusión de más jóvenes a la escuela secundaria, así como la producción y configuración de nuevas prácticas escolares. Sin embargo, en la provincia de Río Negro y en particular en la ciudad de Bariloche, persisten mecanismos administrativos y burocráticos que, apoyados en la vigencia de un marco regulatorio progresivo, hacen que el Estado regule el ingreso a la escuela secundaria bajo la forma de un sistema igualador que esconde la arbitrariedad que supone el azar (sorteo). Esta regulación impide que las familias y lxs jóvenes elijan la escuela, y desconoce la importancia que tiene la escuela en la construcción del proyecto de vida. Los objetivos que se propuso esta investigación buscaron, en términos generales comprender los modos en que la regulación estatal y las prácticas docentes de acompañamiento en los primeros años de ETP de nivel secundario afectan o garantizan el principio de igualdad de oportunidades a lxs jóvenes que asisten a escuelas secundarias técnicas públicas de la ciudad de Bariloche. Asimismo comprender la relación entre la segregación de la matrícula según sector social con los mecanismos de regulación estatal y las prácticas docentes de acompañamiento que las escuelas ofrecen en los primeros años a lxs ingresantes.

Published: March 2021

The colored image has a large array of numbers that take up a lot of space, creating a problem with transportation and storage, which needs to be urgently solved. It’s essential to find a mathematical tool that shrinks this space when transferring and storing the colored image over the years. Continuous waves such as Fourier and discrete waves such as Haar Symlet 2, coiflet 2, and daubecheis 2 were founded by shrinkage and expansion and characterized with the help of s and r parameters. With the help of the MATLAB program, these basic wavelets installed supplication and image compression, analysis, and lifting procedures. In this study, new waves based on polynomials were discovered, relying on the parent function and through many calculations, clarifying many theories and important features that this wave possesses, such as the orthogonal feature and approach that qualifies these new waves in image processing such as squeeze, jam, and analyze images by searching for a filter. It is suitable and new for carrying out the analysis and reconstruction process with high-pass and low-pass filters resulting from the scaling and wavelet function. Four samples of color images are shown. The compression process was carried out with the help of MATLAB. The use of new waves is Multi Discrete Laguerre Wavelet Transfer, where the standard criteria resulting from the compression process were calculated and the most efficient results were obtained without losing the original information of the image, compared to the standard waves’ tables, which will demonstrate the efficiency of these new wavelets in Multi Discrete Laguerre Wavelet transform.

Statistical Inference for Least Absolute Deviation Regression with Autocorrelated Errors
Authors: Mohammad Gorgees Shaheed
Published: March 2021

The method of least absolute deviation provides a robust alternative to least squares, particularly when the data follow distributions that are non-normal and subject to outliers. While inference in least squares estimation is well understood, inferential procedures in the situation of least absolute deviation estimation have not been studied as extensively, particularly in the presence of autocorrelation. In this search, we study two alternative significance test procedures in least absolute deviation regression, along with two approaches used to correct for serial correlation. The study is based on a Monte Carlo simulation, and comparisons are made based on observed significance levels.
Comparison between Orthogonal and Bi-Orthogonal Wavelets
Authors: Shaker Ali Naji
Published: March 2021

Theoretical aspects and analysis of wavelets have applications in mathematical modeling, artificial neural networks, digital signal processing, and image processing and numerical methods. The term orthogonal deals with the mathematical part which covers a wide area of digital signal processing and image processing. An orthogonal wavelet generates the wavelet whose nature is orthogonal. This means an inverse or transpose wavelet transform is nothing but the adjoint of a wavelet transform. If this condition fails by missing orthogonality it may result in biorthogonal wavelets. Single scaling functions and single wavelets are generated but orthogonal wavelet filter bank. A biorthogonal wavelet associated with the wavelet transformation is invertible. There is no need that if it is invertible so it should be orthogonal. The biorthogonal wavelet allows maximum freedom in the case of designing the orthogonal wavelet. It also supports the construction of symmetric wavelet functions. In biorthogonal wavelets, as the name indicates, two scaling factors or functions are responsible for the generation of the various multi-resolutions on the basis of different wavelets. For the image and signal reconstruction purpose we need that wavelet. We get a better result in the presence of biorthogonal wavelets. In the present work, we analyzed the performance of orthogonal and biorthogonal wavelet filters for image processing. We test the image and observed that the filter coefficient and image quality for the orthogonal and biorthogonal wavelet. On the basis of performance analysis it is concluded that biorthogonal wavelets are better than orthogonal wavelets.

COVID-19 is the latest deadly virus to haunt the world. The virus is so contagious it needs a precise drug for treating patients who contract it. The purpose of this study is to observe trends and relevant points of information about Remdesivir in global big data. This article describes a new method of collecting data, namely data mining from Google trends. The subjects under consideration is how Remdesivir is used in the USA, Russia, and India, as they are the current countries with the most COVID-19-positive cases. This method enabled us to discover how many topics on the internet related to Remdesivir, as well as how strong the relevance of this topic was in those three countries. The results shows that the USA had the biggest relevance score in the information search (8.86 points), but the information trends were quite static. Russia had fluctuating trends but the lowest relevance score. India had a dynamic trend recently and a higher relevance score than Russia. It can be concluded that medical authorities are the cause behind information trends for Remdesivir in these three countries that have approved clinical trials for the use of Remdesivir as a COVID-19 treatment.

Self-Education Mechanism and Community Strengthening: Understanding Da’wa as Formalized Ritual of Tablighi Jemaat
Authors: Sarbini Ahmad , Effendi Dudy Imanuddin
Published: March 2021

This article identifies the da’wa movement of the Tablighi Jemaat as a formalized ritual performed by the community to strengthen its existence as a transnational Islamic movement. By applying a phenomenological approach to study the members and activists of Tablighi Jemaat in West Java, Indonesia, this article aims to uncover the understanding and experience of the community carrying out da’wa movements. Data was obtained through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and literature study. This data reveals that da’wa means more than just conducting religious obligations for the Tablighi Jemaat community. As part of the formal rituals required, it becomes the collective identity of the community, which distinguishes it from similar transnational Islamic movements. This is demonstrated in two ways. First, da’wah activities summarized in the khuruj ritual are a self-education mechanism meant to improve the good qualities of each member. It is believed that conveying kindness to others directly will reflect positively on the performers of da’wa. Second, the series of da’wa activities conducted in khuruj aims to invite others to join the community so that it will become stronger and more widespread.

Published: March 2021

Kota Lama Semarang, also known as Semarang Old Town in Central of Java Province, Indonesia, has the potential to become an inclusive and sustainable tourism destination, in accordance with the Indonesian government’s development plan. However, its potential has not been promoted publicly in the best ways. The aim of this research is to describe and develop a model for promoting inclusive and sustainable tourism in the area. The research applies qualitative methods and takes a descriptive approach. The data were collected using observation and interviews, while data analysis was performed using Creswell's descriptive qualitative analysis. The Sejarah di Dekatku (History Near Us) application (the new model), together with social media promotion, provides an alternative way of promoting tourism. During a trial launch, the application was appreciated by the tourists who used it. The application is considered easy to use and suitable for the needs of the community. It features themes of inclusivity and education, and it is considered important for the promotion of historical areas of Semarang. The advantages of using the application to help develop Kota Lama Semarang tourism are that it is easy to use and navigate, it has attractive features, and it provides easy-to-understand information. Our research suggests that the application should be launched immediately and used as a way of promoting the area. In addition, features and interfaces should be developed further to make the application even more attractive and user-friendly. This can be done by researching and developing the features and the interface of the application to make it more attractive and user-friendly.

Background:Tumours and tumour like lesions of the colon and rectum have overlapping clinical presentation and may be difcult to diagnose on
clinical grounds alone. Histopathological examination although helpful to arrive at correct diagnosis, at times may be difcult and may require
ancillary tests such as immunohistochemistry.
Materials and Methods: A prospective cross sectional study enrolled 125 cases of colorectal biopsies after histopathological conrmation of
tumours and tumour like lesions. The specimens were received at the Department of Pathology, DMCH, Laheriasarai, Bihar from December 2019
to November 2020.

age range was 51-60 years with mean age of 38 years. Males comprised 76.74% and females 23.26% with ratio of 3:1. Juvenile polyp was the
commonest lesion. Among benign tumours, tubular adenoma was the most common (19.2%), adenocarcinoma was most common malignant
tumour (25.6%) and juvenile polyp was the most common tumour like lesion (27.2%). Left side was most common side (66.67%) and rectum was
the most common site (48.8%).
Conclusions: The commonest indications for colorectal biopsies were tumours and tumour like lesions. Juvenile polyp was the most common
