BACKGROUND

Despite the known benefits of physical activity, cancer survivors remain insufficiently active. Prior trials have adopted digital health methods, though several have been pedometer-based and enrolled mainly female, non-Hispanic White, and more highly educated survivors of breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to test a previously developed mobile health system consisting of a Fitbit activity tracker and the MyDataHelps smartphone app for feasibility in a diverse group of cancer survivors, with the goal of refining the program and setting the stage for a larger future trial.

METHODS

Participants were identified from one academic medical center’s electronic health record, referred by a clinician, or self-referred to participate in the study. Participants were screened for eligibility, enrolled, provided a Fitbit activity tracker, and instructed to download the Fitbit: Health & Wellness and MyDataHelps apps. They completed usability surveys at baseline, 1-, and 3-months. Interviews were conducted at the end of the 3-month intervention with participants and cancer care clinicians to assess acceptability of the intervention and implementation of the intervention into clinical practice, respectively. Descriptive statistics were calculated for demographics, usability surveys, and Fitbit adherence and step counts. Rapid qualitative analysis was used to identify key findings from interview transcriptions.

RESULTS

Of the 100 patients with cancer who were screened for eligibility, 31 enrolled in the trial, achieving a response rate of 31%. The mean (SD) age of participants was 64.8 (11.1) years. The two most frequent cancer diagnoses were prostate and breast cancer. Participants provided positive feedback on the MyDataHelps app usability; the overall app quality received a mean score of 3.79 (SD 0.82) on a Likert scale from 1 to 5, (1 = worst, 5 = best). Overall, participants felt the Fitbit activity tracker and MyDataHelps app were easy to use, but also benefited from the technical assistance of the research team. Clinicians appreciated the idea of having an objective measure of physical activity data but expressed a desire to receive training on using Fitbit data, as well as having a standard workflow in place for prescribing the Fitbit activity tracker for physical activity.

CONCLUSIONS

Implementing a remotely-delivered, light-intensity physical activity program was feasible and acceptable in a population of diverse cancer survivors. Future studies should consider registry-based methods and work with clinicians to engage hard-to-reach survivor populations who have low physical activity levels and disproportionately high adverse health outcomes.

Published: April 2024

Background. To increase the quality of a block, corresponding adjuvants are used intrathecally. However, currently, the interrelation between different doses of intrathecal dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant, differential analgesia, and the effectiveness of a spinal block is not adequately elucidated. The purpose: to conduct a comparative analysis on the effectiveness of motor (MB) and sensory block (SB), as well as to evaluate the clinical efficiency of analgesia during spinal anesthesia based on bupivacaine in combination with various intrathecal doses of dexmedetomidine. Materials and methods. The study included 150 patients with a mean age of 41.3 ± 8.2 years who underwent biportal endoscopic discectomy. Participants were divided into the following groups: group 1 (n = 30) — intrathecal administration of 2.5 ml bupivacaine combined with intrathecal administration of 2.5 µg dexmedetomidine; group 2 (n = 30) — intrathecal use of 2.5 ml bupivacaine with intrathecal administration of 5 µg dexmedetomidine; group 3 (n = 30) — intrathecal administration of 2.5 ml bupivacaine combined with intrathecal administration of 10 µg dexmedetomidine. In the groups, the sensory and motor status of patients and the level of analgesia were assessed. Results. The time of a SB onset was 22.78 ± 2.04 % higher in group 1 than in group 2 and 37.42 ± 2.75 % higher compared to group 3. The time of a MB onset in group 1 was 9.16 ± 1.32 % higher than in group 2 and 20.17 ± 2.36 % higher compared to group 3. In group 1, the time of a two-segment sensory regression was 21.38 ± 2.18 % lower than in group 2 and 36.40 ± 2.81 % lower than in group 3. The duration of a MB in group 3 was 18.23 ± 2.21 % higher compared to group 2 and 42.39 ± 3.05 % higher than in group 1. In group 3, the indicators of differential analgesia were 110.74 ± 4.53 % higher compared to group 2 and 202.39 ± 5.72 % higher than in group 1. Conclusions. Increasing the intrathecal dose of dexmedetomidine resulted in a reduction in the time of a sensory block onset, while the duration of a motor block increased. The indicators of analgesia duration also directly proportionally increased with the escalation of dexmedetomidine dosage.

Published: April 2024

Abstract: Pultruded Fibre‐Reinforced Polymer profiles are widely used as structural elements in many civil infrastructure applications. However, the anisotropic elasticity and the application‐driven slenderness make these profiles prone to local buckling failure, well below their ultimate load capacity. In this paper, an experimental study was undertaken to characterise the tensile and compressive failure of GFRP round tube under axial loading. Based on the research focus of GFRP structures, this work will present a comprehensive study of the mechanical properties of GFRP tubes in terms of both tensile and compressive loads and investigate the mechanical parameters. This paper presents an investigation on the mechanical properties of pultruded Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) round tubes for structures subjected to tensile and compressive axial loading. The tensile and compressive strength of GFRP round tubes were first tested. For the stability under compression, the slenderness ratio 6 is adopted. The results show that the tensile strength of GFRP tube could reach 580 MPa, while the compressive strength has been around 72% of tensile strength. Also Experimental results showed that specimens exhibited linearly elastic up to failure. Compared with the single tensile failure mode of GFRP tubes, two types of compressive failure modes, including micro-buckling and local buckling were observed. Moreover, a finite element (FE) analysis was carried to simulate the tensile and compressive behaviours of round tube specimen. The comparison between the tensile and compressive peak load values obtained experiment and FE methods revealed that their difference is less than 5%. These indicated that FE analysis predicted reasonably the actual tensile and compressive behaviours of the pultruded GFRP round tube.

Published: April 2024

Abstract: Android has been constant target of attacks through the use of malicious applications (malware) that can harm users, for instance, by leaking sensitive data (e.g., bank account details), blocking access to information and demanding monetary compensation for the ransom, or even leveraging social engineering scams. A large number of malicious applications is distributed in a daily basis through different distribution vectors, such as application markets, including official and third party stores, or untrusted sources like Web repositories. The increasing prevalence of Android malware necessitates advanced detection mechanisms to safeguard users and their devices. The aim of the project is to presents an innovative approach to Android malware detection, integrating machine learning, blockchain technology, and web development tools. The proposed system is to develop a Andriod App Malware Detector API capable of identifying and mitigating malicious applications effectively. The system begins with the collection of diverse datasets comprising both benign and malicious Android applications, ensuring the representation of various threat vectors and scenarios. Androguard, a powerful tool for Android app analysis, the system extracts relevant features such as permissions, API calls, and intents, providing valuable insights into the behaviour and characteristics of each application. The AndroMal Model is designed and trained using CatBoost Algorithm and integrated with a blockchain framework for secure metadata storage. Consensus mechanisms and smart contracts enhance transparency and reliability. Privacy considerations, continuous monitoring, and user feedback mechanisms further fortify the system. The proposed design promises an effective, scalable, and user-centric solution for Android malware detection.

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is a plantation commodity that is widely cultivated in Indonesia, this commodity is very important in Indonesia because it has played a role in the Indonesian economy since 1930. The problem faced in cocoa cultivation is the lack of nutrient availability due to chemicals that cause residue in the soil, resulting in the growth of cocoa seedlings are not optimal, to optimize the growth of cocoa seedlings, provide a mixture of organic fertilizer in the planting medium and provide mycorrhiza. This research used the basic pattern of a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 2 factors and repeated 3 times. The first factor is the dose of dry leaf compost (K) which consists of 3 levels, namely: Without dry leaf compost treatment/control (K₀), dry leaf compost 60 g/polybag (K₁), Dry leaf compost dose 120 g/polybag (K₂) and the second factor is the arbuscular mycorrhizal dose (M) which consists of 3 levels, namely: Without arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus treatment/control (M₀), arbuscular mycorrhizal dose of 15 g/polybag (M₁), and arbuscular mycorrhizal dose of 30 g/polybag (M₂) So there are 27 experimental units. The results of the study showed that (1) there was a real interaction between the treatment of compost dose (K) and mycorrhizal dose (M) in safety. The combination of compost dose (K) 120 g/plant and mycorrhiza dose (M) 30 g/plant (K2M2) was the best treatment combination. (2) The treatment of giving a compost dose (K) had a significant effect on the variables of plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, and plant dry weight. The best treatment was a compost dose of 120g/plant (K2). (3) The mycorrhizal dose (M) treatment had a very significant effect on the variables of plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, and plant dry weight. The best treatment was a mycorrhizal dose of 30g/plant (M2).

The study examines the Cocoa Hand Pollination Program (CHPP) and its potential to revolutionize cocoa farming in Ghana's cocoa industry. The study employed an exploratory research design, collecting primary data through structured questionnaires from 367 cocoa farmers, 159 pollinators, and 30 extension staff. Data were analyzed descriptively. The study revealed that cocoa farmers have a relatively low level of knowledge about CHPP's objectives but perceive these goals as highly important. Farmers have successfully increased cocoa yield per hectare but face challenges in boosting overall cocoa production. Farmers exhibit a good understanding of CHPP activities and consider them crucial for program success. Pollinators have successfully enhanced natural pollination but are less positive about their contributions to socioeconomic livelihood improvement and entrepreneurship skills. Extension staff perceive the program as successful in helping farmers increase yield per hectare. However, the goals of integrating hand pollination into routine GAP activities have faced challenges. The efforts and goals of CHPP are generally valued by extension administrators who are committed to the program. Organizational and community characteristics generally favoured the program, but there were inconsistencies in the timely delivery of essential tools. This study offers valuable insights into the program's challenges and opportunities, providing essential information for policymakers and researchers working to improve cocoa production, uplift farmer livelihoods, and address similar agricultural contexts. Addressing challenges, enhancing knowledge sharing, and optimizing program elements can ensure cocoa farming's long-term sustainability and success, benefiting local farmers and the cocoa industry as a whole

Kopyor coconut is one of Indonesia's origin germplasms that has a high economic value. Theflesh of the kopyor coconuts is quickly damaged characterized by rancidity due to the presence of microorganisms. This study aimed to investigate the effect of blanching and freeze-drying processes, considering the factors of drying duration and pressure, on the quality of kopyor coconut Flesh. The kopyor coconuts used in this studywere obtained from Ciomas Plantation IOPRI Bogor Unit, Bogor, West Java. The kopyor coconut flesh was grouped into two categories: one treated with steam blanching at 100 °C for 10 min and the other without blanching treatment. Freeze-drying processes were carried out for 12, 24, 48, and 72 h and at absolute pressures of 0.01 and 0.05 mbar. The characteristics observed were the moisture content, pH, whiteness index,and free fatty acids content (FFA).The combining of steam blanching and freeze-drying process for 48 h and a pressure of 0.01 mbar was the best treatment. The dried product had uniform texture with moisture content of 5.31%, whiteness index of 89.67%, pH of 7,04 and free fatty acid of 0,51%. These values indicated that the quality of dried fruit complied with the Indonesian standard of dried fruit quality (SNI 3710:2018).
Mutually unbiased bases: polynomial optimization and symmetry
Authors: Gribling Sander , Polak Sven
Published: April 2024

A set of k orthonormal bases of Cd is called mutually unbiased if |⟨e,f⟩|2=1/d whenever e and f are basis vectors in distinct bases. A natural question is for which pairs (d,k) there exist k mutually unbiased bases in dimension d. The (well-known) upper bound k≤d+1 is attained when d is a power of a prime. For all other dimensions it is an open problem whether the bound can be attained. Navascués, Pironio, and Acín showed how to reformulate the existence question in terms of the existence of a certain C∗-algebra. This naturally leads to a noncommutative polynomial optimization problem and an associated hierarchy of semidefinite programs. The problem has a symmetry coming from the wreath product of Sd and Sk.We exploit this symmetry (analytically) to reduce the size of the semidefinite programs making them (numerically) tractable. A key step is a novel explicit decomposition of the Sd≀Sk-module C([d]×[k])t into irreducible modules. We present numerical results for small d,k and low levels of the hierarchy. In particular, we obtain sum-of-squares proofs for the (well-known) fact that there do not exist d+2 mutually unbiased bases in dimensions d=2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Moreover, our numerical results indicate that a sum-of-squares refutation, in the above-mentioned framework, of the existence of more than 3 MUBs in dimension 6 requires polynomials of total degree at least 12.
Metrology and multipartite entanglement in measurement-induced phase transition
Authors: Di Fresco Giovanni , Spagnolo Bernardo , Valenti Davide , Carollo Angelo
Published: April 2024

Measurement-induced phase transition arises from the competition between a deterministic quantum evolution and a repeated measurement process. We explore the measurement-induced phase transition through the Quantum Fisher Information in two different metrological scenarios. We demonstrate through the scaling behavior of the quantum Fisher information the transition of the multi-partite entanglement across the phases. In analogy with standard quantum phase transition, we reveal signature of a measurement-induced phase transition in the non-analytic behaviour of the quantum Fisher information as the measurement strength approaches the critical value. Our results offer novel insights into the features of a quantum systems undergoing measurement-induced phase transition and indicate potential avenues for further exploration in the field of quantum physics.

Published: April 2024

The implementation of work employment and wages is not in line between labor and Islamic law. This study aimed to review and analyze labor employment and wage arrangements from perspectives on labor law and Islamic law. This research used a normative juridical method with a contextual approach, rules and regulations, the Quran, and hadith. The results showed that Islamic and labor laws have the same goal: that workers can live decent lives. In labor law, work relations are born from work agreements, and wages are the right of workers after obligations are carried out. However, in Islamic law, work relations are based on justice without exploitation, are efficient, and do not violate other sharia principles, and wages are included in the study of Ijarah. The concept of employment is based on time, type of work, and targets obtained. F or work relations and wages to fulfill human dignity, it is necessary to contain labor regulations that pay attention to the principles of relations and wages in Islamic law.

Religious moderation is a moderate attitude or perspective in religion that is fair and balanced. A moderate mindset and behavior in the family is very significant for married couples to avoid things that can damage the honor and dignity of the family. The research method used is an empirical legal study with an approach to the history of Islamic law. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with a number of informants namely, academics, housewives, teachers and self-employed people. While document studies are carried out by analyzing journal articles, books and various references related to the discussion. The research found that a moderate religious perspective and attitude are critical for family life. Family resilience strategies include belief systems, organizational processes, communication processes, and problem solvers. Among the materials that are very important for strengthening religious moderation in the family are tolerance, leadership in the family, division of roles in the family, equal relations between a husband and a wife, respect for the existence and quality communication of all family members, and cultivating negotiation in decision-making, And no less important is a moderate religious understanding. In terms of the Islamic law history, several families, such as the Prophet Ibrahim’s family, the Imran family (Alu Imran), and the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, can be used as examples of cultivating the true values of monotheism, humanity, social solidarity, and even purity and self-respect. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, the family of Hadaratus Sheikh KH. Hasyim Asyari, the founder of Nahdlatul Ulama can be used as an example who gives birth to children and grandchildren and even families who have a sense of nationalism, religion, humanism, pluralism and social solidarity.
