EFFECT OF PAPERBOARD SURFACE MODIFICATIONS ON ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF PRINTED UHF RFID ANTENNAS
Authors: GIGAC JURAJ , FIŠEROVÁ MÁRIA , TIŇO RADKO
Published: August 2022

The effect of surface roughness and water contact angle of commercial paperboard before and after surface modification by calendering, coating and calendering and plasma treatment on the functionality of UHF RFID antennas printed with thermal transfer aluminum ribbon was evaluated. A hydrophilic surface was created by coating or plasma treatment, which improved the wettability of the paperboard surface, the spreading of the thermoplastic tie layer and theadhesion of the conductive aluminum layer. Anew paper product was created with permanent surface wettability by coating, without theneed for plasmatreatment before printing. Theplasma treatment provided time-limited wettability, needed only during printing, and made it possible to restore the original hydrophobic surface of thepaperboard. In addition to themeaning of these surface modifications, the importance and need to reduce the surface roughness was confirmed, as the higher surface roughness of the paperboard limited the effect of the plasma treatment in terms of its printability and the functionality of the printed aluminum antenna. The printability of the paperboard and the functionality of the printed antennas were evaluated using electrical conductivity. The electrical conductivities of the dipole and inductor loop of the UHF RFID antennas printed on modified paperboards varied depending on theantenna design.

Published: August 2022

Review question / Objective: Epidural injection (EI) has been used to manage lower back or radicular leg pain from herniation of lumbar disc (HLD). Three types of EI techniques, including transforaminal (TFEI) interlaminar (ILEI), and caudal epidural injections (CEI), are being applied. We aimed to evaluate the comparative effect of TFESI, ILEI, and CEI for reducing pain or improving function in patients with HLD. Condition being studied: For controlling inflammation by the HLD, various oral medications and procedures are used. Among these therapeutic methods, EI of the drugs is frequently used in clinical practice. Its positive HLD-induced pain reducing effect was reported in several previous studies. Three types of techniques, including TFEI, ILEI, and CEI, have been utilized in clinical practice. conflicting outcomes as to which technique is superior were reported in previous studies. So far, some meta-analysis studies for comparing the effects of different EI techniques on HLD were conducted. However, these previous studies conducted comparison between two procedures among TFEI, ILEI, and CEI. In the current study, using network meta-analysis, we synthesize and compare the effects of TFEI, ILEI, and CEI on pain from HLD, together.
El concepto de Indoamérica en Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre, 1924-1945
Authors: Portocarrero Grados Ricardo
Published: August 2022

La década de 1920 fue un período clave en la historia del Perú. En el contexto de un proceso de modernización capitalista que buscaba integrar al país e insertarlo en el mercado mundial, los debates sobre la realidad nacional se reavivaron. Esto motivó una discusión sobre cómo conceptualizar esa realidad nacional, que no solo tomara en cuenta a las élites criollas sino también a las mayorías indígenas. Frente a conceptos como «Panamericanismo», «América latina» o «Iberoamérica», los movimientos sociales y políticos de renovación parecían agruparse alrededor del concepto de «Indoamérica». Esto era expresión de un movimiento continental que se había iniciado en México, en el contexto de la revolución mexicana y de la Secretaria de Educación Pública encabezada por José Vasconcelos. En el caso del Perú, su más importante representante fue Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre, cuya propuesta se expresó entre la fundación de la APRA en México (1924) y sus obras Construyendo el aprismo (1933) y La defensa continental (1942).

Published: August 2022

Vehicle edge computing (VEC) is a new technology that can extend computing and storage functions to the edge of the Internet of Things (IoT) systems. For limited computing power and delay sensitive mobile applications on the Internet of Vehicles (IOV). It is important to offload computing tasks to the end of the VEC network. Still, High mobility data security and privacy resource management and the randomness of IOV brought about new problems to the offloading of VEC. To this end, this study focuses on the offloading of computing tasks in VEC. We survey principal offloading schemes and methods in the VEC field and classify the current offloading of computing tasks into different categories. We also discuss the prospect of VEC. This survey could give a reference for researchers to find and understand the important characteristics of VEC, which helps choose the optimal solutions for the offloading of computing tasks in VEC.
Four Way Human Quantum Turiyam Cognition Analysis
Authors: Singh Prem Kumar
Published: August 2022

Recently, the Turiyam set was introduced for characterization of data sets beyond true, false and uncertain regions. This set is able to represent unknown, undefined, or conduit metaphor of human quantum cognition. One of the examples is USA-Russia conflicts or Cold war is beyond the characterization of win, draw or loss. It is totally based on the conduit metaphor of USA and Russia. In this case, a set of countries may support Russia (Sr) can be characterized as true regions. A set of countries does not support Russia (i.e. supporting the USA) can be characterized as false regions (Su). A set of countries supports both Russia-USA based on the given situation. These types of countries and their vote is uncertain. The fourth case is some countries like India, China, UAE choose nothing to fulfill their conduit metaphor. It is called Turiyam or four dimension cognition. The characterization of this four dimension data and its graphical visualization is one of the crucial tasks for the current researchers. To tackle this issue, the current paper will try to introduce a method for characterization of this undefined, unknown or Turiyam cognition via a defined interval-set. The objective is to provide a way to explore them in known graph (t), not known graph (f), partial graph (i) or unknown graph (l) with an example.

Authors: Shafqat Sarah , Majeed Hammad , Javaid Qaisar , Ahmad Hafiz Farooq
Published: August 2022

The motivation for this research comes from the gap found in discovering the common ground for medical context learning through analytics for different purposes of  diagnosing, recommending, prescribing or treating patients for uniform phenotype features from patients’ profile. Authors of this paper while searching for possible solutions for medical context learning found that unified corpora tagged with medical nomenclature was missing to train the analytics for medical context learning. Therefore, here we demonstrated a mechanism to come up with uniform NER (Named Entity Recognition) tagged medical corpora that is fed with 14407 endocrine patients’ dataset in CSV format diagnosed with DM and comorbidity diseases. The other corpus is of ICD-10-CM coding scheme in text format taken from www.icd10data.com. ICD-10-CM corpus is to be tagged for understanding the medical context with uniformity for which we are conducting different experiments using common NLP techniques and frameworks like; TensorFlow, Keras, LSTM, and Bi-LSTM.

In our preliminary experiments albeit label sets in form of (instance, label) pair were tagged with Sequential() model formed on TensorFlow.Keras and Bi-LSTM NLP algorithms. The maximum accuracy achieved for model validation was 0.8846.
Joint Ventures for SMEs Competitiveness and Inclusive Growth: A Comparative Analysis of SMEs in Mbeya, Tanzania
Authors: Israel Baraka
Published: August 2022

The inclusive growth of SMEs has recently gained much recognition from scholars and policymakers. However, the pertinent question is, what is the best approach toward SME growth? This article examines the effects of Joint Venture (JV) undertaking on SMEs’ competitiveness and inclusive growth in Tanzania’s business setting. 192 (87 JV firms and 105 sole proprietors) were sampled from Mbeya City, Tanzania using a stratified systematic sampling technique for analysis. Data was collected using the survey method. The effects of JV on the SMEs’ competitiveness and growth were established by the pattern of percentages and the level of significance (p-values) using the independent t-test. It was found that SMEs operating as JV were more competitive, with a higher ability to meet financial, cost, quality, innovation, time and market requirements compared to sole proprietors. Nevertheless, JV firms revealed higher significant growth indicators in terms of sales volume, profit margin, market share, number of employees, working assets, production volume and business diversification than sole proprietors. Limited financial resources, inadequate production facilities, limited experience, unfavourable trade laws and socio-cultural factors constrain SMEs from JV undertaking. To policymakers and scholars, this article highlights the role and the determinants of JV undertakings as an important approach toward improved SMEs’ competitiveness and inclusive growth.

Inhomogeneity within Local Interstellar Clouds*
Authors: Linsky Jeffrey L. , Redfield Seth , Ryder Diana , Chasan-Taber Adina
Published: August 2022

Analysis of interstellar absorption lines observed in high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope spectra of nearby stars provides temperatures, turbulent velocities, and kinetic properties of warm interstellar clouds. A new analysis of 97 interstellar-velocity components reveals a wide range of temperatures and turbulent velocities within the Local Interstellar Cloud (LIC) and the nearby Cluster of Interstellar Clouds (CLIC). These variations appear to be random with Gaussian distributions. We find no trends of these properties with stellar distance or angles from the Galactic Center, magnetic field, the main source of extreme-UV radiation (the star ϵ CMa), the center of the LIC, or the direction of inflowing interstellar matter into the heliosphere. The spatial scale for temperature variations in the LIC is likely smaller than 5100 au, a distance that the Sun will traverse in 1000 yr. Essentially all velocity components align with known warm clouds. We find that within 4 pc of the Sun, space is completely filled with partially ionized clouds, but at larger distances space is only partially filled with partially ionized clouds. We find that the neutral hydrogen number density in the LIC and likely other warm clouds in the CLIC is about 0.10 cm−3 rather than the 0.20 cm−3 density that may be representative of only the immediate environment of the LIC. The ≤3000–12,000 K temperature range for the gas is wider than the predictions of thermal equilibrium theoretical models of the warm neutral medium and warm ionized medium, and the high degree of inhomogeneity within clouds argues against simple theoretical models.
Bridging Optical and Far-infrared Emission-line Diagrams of Galaxies from Local to the Epoch of Reionization: Characteristic High [O iii] 88 μm/SFR at z > 6

Published: August 2022

We present photoionization modeling of galaxy populations at z ∼ 0, 2, and >6 to bridge optical and far-infrared (FIR) emission-line diagrams. We collect galaxies with measurements of optical and/or FIR ([O iii] 88 μm and [C ii] 158 μm) emission-line fluxes and plot them on the [O

H, and gaseous metallicity Z
gas. Our models successfully reproduce the nebular parameters of local galaxies, and then predict the distributions of the z ∼ 0, 2, and >6 galaxies in the diagrams. The predicted distributions illustrate the redshift evolution on all the diagrams; e.g., [O

To explain these high ratios, our photoionization models require a low stellar-to-gaseous-metallicity ratio or bursty/increasing star formation history at z > 6. JWST will test the predictions and scenarios for the z > 6 galaxies proposed by our photoionization modeling.

Published: August 2022

We have obtained column density maps for an unbiased sample of 120 molecular clouds in the third quadrant of the Milky Way midplane (b ≤ ∣5∣°) within the Galactic longitude range from 195° to 225°, using the high-sensitivity 12CO and 13CO (J = 1 − 0) data from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) project. The probability density functions of the molecular hydrogen column density of the clouds, N-pdfs, are fitted with both a lognormal (LN) function and a lognormal plus power-law (LN+PL) function. The molecular clouds are classified into three categories according to their shapes of N-pdfs, i.e., LN, LN+PL, and UN (unclear). About 72% of the molecular clouds fall into the LN category, while 18% and 10% fall into the LN+PL and UN categories, respectively. A PL scaling relation,

Published: August 2022

Background: the aim of this study is to identify the toxic effect of gemcitabine on the kidney and liver tissues of rat and whether melatonin has any protective effect on these tissues.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 32 adults male Wistar rats were selected and divided into four groups. Group A was the control group that received normal saline. Group B received gemcitabine alone in a dose of 25mg/kg body weight intraperitoneally once per week for four successive weeks. Group C received gemcitabine intraperitoneally in a dose of 25mg/ kg and melatonin orally in a dose of 10mg/kg once per week for four successive weeks. Group D received only melatonin 10mg/kg once per week for four weeks.
RESULTS: The histological changes of liver of group B showed disorganization of hepatic tissue with congestion in the portal area and chronic inflammatory cells infiltration in the periportal area. Nuclei of some hepatocytes were vesicular with steatosis. In group C liver sections showed inflammatory cell infiltration with mild pyknosis of some hepatocytes. Liver sections of group D were limited to degeneration of some hepatocyte. Renal sections of group B showed degeneration and necrosis of epithelial cells with thickening of blood vessel wall, congestion and thrombus formation with cystic appearance in the interstitial tissue were detected. While in group C the histological sections showed swelling of epithelial cells lining renal tubules with congestion of blood vessels. Renal sections of group D were more or less normal.
CONCLUSION:   the present study concluded that gemcitabine induced toxic effect on liver and kidney of male rats and melatonin may play protective effect on the tissue of these organs.

Published: August 2022

Background: EGFR mutation is a genetic disorder that is often observed and examined in Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma. EGFR mutation detection aims to predict sensitivity to EGFR-TKI and acts as first-line therapy. Targeted therapy with EGFR-TKI can increase the survival rate of patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer compared to chemotherapy. This study aims to obtain data on the survival rate of patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma who received targeted therapy at H. Adam Malik Hospital. 
Methods: This study is a descriptive study with a retrospective cohort design carried out at the Oncology Polyclinic at RSUP H Adam Malik Medan for 5 years, from January 2014 to December 2018. The subjects of this study were all patients with lung cancer type adenocarcinoma who had received therapy with generation 1 or 2 EGFR TKI. 
Results: 99 patients were included as subjects of this study. From the study, the most influential factors on lung cancer were gender, age, and smoking addiction. The study consisted of 60.6% male, 92.9% of the respondents aged 40 years and over, 56.5% active, and 43.4% passive smokers and 41.4% of the respondents with severe Brinkman index. The 30-month survival rate of EGFR-TKI (Gefitinib) patients treated with NSCLC Adenocarcinoma (Gefitinib) from 2014 to 2018 at H. Adam Malik Hospital Medan was 6.3% with a median survival of 7 months. The duration of progression-free survival in patients receiving Erlotinib therapy was 6.6 months (6.6 ± 2.51 months), while the length of progression-free survival for patients treated with Gefitinib was 9.1 months (9.1 ± 6.9 months). The results of statistical tests showed that there was no difference in progression-free survival rate between those who received Erlotinib and Gefitinib (P = 0.82). 
Conclusion: The 30-month survival rate of lung adenocarcinoma patients treated with EGFR-TKI from 2014 to 2018 was 6.1% with a median survival of 7 months. Those who received Erlotinib therapy experienced Progression-Free Survival for 6.6 months and those who received Gefitinib experienced Progression-Free Survival for 9.1 months.

Disintegration of the genus Prosopis L. (Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae, mimosoid clade)
Authors: Hughes Colin E. , Ringelberg Jens J. , Lewis Gwilym P. , Catalano Santiago A.
Published: August 2022

Robust evidence from phylogenomic analyses of 997 nuclear genes has recently shown, beyond doubt, that the genus Prosopis is polyphyletic with three separate lineages, each with affinities to other genera of mimosoids: (i) Prosopis africana is an isolated lineage placed in the grade of Plathymenia, Newtonia and Fillaeopsis that subtends the core mimosoid clade; (ii) the remaining Old World species of Prosopis form a clade that is sister to the Indo-Nepalese monospecific genus Indopiptadenia and (iii) New World Prosopis has the Namibian / Namaqualand monospecific endemic genus Xerocladia nested within it. This means that it is now clear that maintaining the unity of the genus Prosopis sensu Burkart (1976) is no longer tenable. These three distinct lineages of Prosopis species correspond directly to Burkart’s (1976) sectional classification of the genus, to previously recognised genera and to the differences in types of armature that underpin Burkart’s sections. Here, we address this non-monophyly by resurrecting three segregate genera – Anonychium, Neltuma and Strombocarpa and provide 57 new name combinations where necessary, while maintaining the morphologically distinctive and geographically isolated genera Xerocladia and Indopiptadenia. The genus Prosopis itself is reduced to just three species and an emended description is presented. The impacts of these name changes for a genus of such high ecological and human use importance are discussed. These impacts are mitigated by clear differences in armature which facilitate identification and by potential benefits from the deeper biological understanding brought about by recognition of these divergent lineages at generic rank. We provide an identification key to genera and present a map showing the distributions of the segregate genera, as well as drawings and photos illustrating variation in armature and fruits.
Phylogenomic analysis of 997 nuclear genes reveals the need for extensive generic re-delimitation in Caesalpinioideae (Leguminosae)

Subfamily Caesalpinioideae with ca. 4,600 species in 152 genera is the second-largest subfamily of legumes (Leguminosae) and forms an ecologically and economically important group of trees, shrubs and lianas with a pantropical distribution. Despite major advances in the last few decades towards aligning genera with clades across Caesalpinioideae, generic delimitation remains in a state of considerable flux, especially across the mimosoid clade. We test the monophyly of genera across Caesalpinioideae via phylogenomic analysis of 997 nuclear genes sequenced via targeted enrichment (Hybseq) for 420 species and 147 of the 152 genera currently recognised in the subfamily. We show that 22 genera are non-monophyletic or nested in other genera and that non-monophyly is concentrated in the mimosoid clade where ca. 25% of the 90 genera are found to be non-monophyletic. We suggest two main reasons for this pervasive generic non-monophyly: (i) extensive morphological homoplasy that we document here for a handful of important traits and, particularly, the repeated evolution of distinctive fruit types that were historically emphasised in delimiting genera and (ii) this is an artefact of the lack of pantropical taxonomic syntheses and sampling in previous phylogenies and the consequent failure to identify clades that span the Old World and New World or conversely amphi-Atlantic genera that are non-monophyletic, both of which are critical for delimiting genera across this large pantropical clade. Finally, we discuss taxon delimitation in the phylogenomic era and especially how assessing patterns of gene tree conflict can provide additional insights into generic delimitation. This new phylogenomic framework provides the foundations for a series of papers reclassifying genera that are presented here in Advances in Legume Systematics (ALS) 14 Part 1, for establishing a new higher-level phylogenetic tribal and clade-based classification of Caesalpinioideae that is the focus of ALS14 Part 2 and for downstream analyses of evolutionary diversification and biogeography of this important group of legumes which are presented elsewhere.
The Mediating Effect of General Self-Efficacy Between Occupational Stress and Negative Emotion Among Psychiatric Nurses
Authors: Zhang Xiuying , Liu Ling , Ning Jinna
Published: August 2022

The current study investigated occupational stress, anxiety, and depression among psychiatric nurses and explored the intermediary role of general self-efficacy between occupational stress, anxiety, and depression. In November 2020, 171 psychiatric nurses completed a self-report questionnaire. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the four variables and the bootstrap method was used to test the intermediary hypothesis. Results showed that 35.1% of psychiatric nurses had health risk stress. Among participants, detection rates of anxiety and depression were 24% and 46.8%, respectively. There was a positive correlation between occupational stress and anxiety (
r
= 0.577,
p
< 0.05) and depression (
r
= 0.653,
p
< 0.05). There was a negative correlation between general self-efficacy and anxiety (
r
= −0.358,
p
< 0.05) and depression (
r
= −0.500,
p
< 0.05), and general self-efficacy had a significant mediating effect between occupational stress and depression. However, the mediating effect of general self-efficacy on anxiety was not significant. Nurse managers should be aware of the importance of nurses' general self-efficacy and self-confidence. [

Stability of hydrostatic equilibrium for the 2D BMHD system with partial dissipation
Authors: Bian Dongfen , Mao Jingjing , Pu Xueke
Published: August 2022

In this paper, we establish the nonlinear stability and large time behavior of hydrostatic equilibrium in a uniform magnetic field for the Boussinesq system with magnetohydrodynamics convection in the whole space \begin{document}$ \mathbb{R}^{2} $\end{document} with mixed partial dissipation, motivated by Lai, Wu, Zhong [18] and Lin, Ji, Wu and Yan [22]. Due to the lack of horizontal dissipation and vertical dissipation in the second component of velocity, the natural energy is not easy to be closed, which is overcome by introducing an additional functional of the horizontal derivative of the second component of velocity. This shows that the magnetic field and the temperature have a stabilizing effect on the fluid. Large time behavior and linear decay rate of the solution are also obtained.

So, the identification of benign or malignant lung nodules requires efficient and accurate methods of lung nodule diagnosis. For achieving this aim, in this paper, an adaptive radial basis neural network (RBNN) is proposed. Initially, the texture features are extracted and the extracted features are fed to the classifier to classify a nodule as benign or malignant nodule. In addition, the radial basis neural network is enhanced by using red deer optimization algorithm, which is used for optimal parameter selection. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is calculated by using different evaluation metrics. The effectiveness of the classification performance is compared with existing algorithms.

Deep learning (DL) is a rising field that is applied in forensic science and criminal investigation (FSCI). FSCI specialists are confronting many difficulties because of the volume of of information, little bits of confirmations in the turbulent and complex climate, conventional lab structures, and once in a while, deficient information which might prompt disappointment. The application of DNA sequencing technologies for forensic science is particularly challenging in systems biology. DL is at present supporting practically every one of the unique fields of FSCI with its various methodologies like analysis of data, pattern recognition, image handling, computer vision, data mining, statistical examination, and probabilistic strategies. In this manner, DL is helping forensic specialists and examiners by defining legitimate proof, 3D remaking of crime locations, taking care of proof viably, and dissecting it to arrive at obvious end results at different degrees of investigation and criminal justice.

Published: August 2022

Accent recognition as a subset of speech recognition is crucial in audio forensics as it provides the authenticity of the speech that can be presented to the judicature as evidence. The challenge here is to design a speaker accent identifying system that can provide significant information to match with the standards of the court of justice. This process requires robust descriptors to represent speech signal with good discrimination ability. This chapter proposes to use Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients to identify and represent the human utterances by transforming the frequency from normal scale to Mel scale. The work utilized support vector machine, k nearest neighbors, XG boost, linear discriminant analysis, quadratic discriminant analysis, and decision tree algorithms to recognize the accent of the speaker. The experiment conducted on the accent recognition dataset demonstrated the ability of Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients and kNN classifier in identifying and discriminating six accents belonging to different speakers with better accuracy.

Green innovation (GI) refers to an invention that simultaneously benefits the environment and customers. Academics and policymakers have recently focused on GI to understand how innovation and sustainability interact. Indeed, governments and non-governmental organizations pressure businesses to abandon “traditional environmentally harmful products” in favor of green products (GPI) and green process innovations (GPrI). GI research has attracted the attention of many scholars, adopting diverse perspectives, but there has been a lack of publications on the green process and green product innovation (GPI) together. In this way, the current study conducts a literature review and bibliometric analysis to evaluate the “literary corpus” on GI and its various forms. The research provides a comprehensive understanding of GI's various determinants and outcomes. Managers and policymakers can also benefit from the most recent research findings to gain a better understanding of key determinants and outcomes.

Authors: Sodhi Nausheen , Gök Adem
Published: August 2022

Renewable energy sources have a minimal detrimental impact on health quality compared to non-renewable energy sources owing to the reduced carbon dioxide emissions that reduce negative externalities of pollution. Health quality can be measured through changes in life expectancy owing to changes in variables directly impacted by renewable energy usage. The chapter analyses the impact of renewable energy on life expectancy through four channels for 23 emerging market economies for the time period 1994-2015 using panel vector auto regression. Four hypotheses were developed for four channels: CO2 emissions, GDP per capita, technology level, and urbanization. The results conform to all the hypotheses: increase in renewable energy increases life expectancy by decreasing CO2 emissions and by increasing GDP per capita, technology level, and urbanization. Thus, to increase life expectancy, emerging market economies should increase their renewable energy usage since it reduces per capita CO2 emissions and increases GDP per capita, technological advancement, and urbanization.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of social media on child abuse prevention in Nigeria. The objectives were to discover the level of cognizance social media has created on the issue of child abuse, child abuse prevention, and if social media is really a tool in preventing child abuse in Nigeria. The study was anchored on technology determinism theory. Using the purposive sampling technique, 30 discussants were selected for focus group discussion on the subject matter. The study found that social media alone is not effective enough in preventing child abuse in Nigeria. Research findings further revealed that although the information given about child abuse on social media platforms are believable and acceptable, there has been no significant influence of social media on child abuse prevention in Nigeria. To this end, the researcher recommended that there should be public enlightenment programs that reach the grassroots to create public awareness on child abuse prevention, its effects on children, and the legal consequences.
