Authors: Hilal Ahmad Sheikh , Ahmad S. Bashir , Jan Asma
Published: April 2019

Background: Beri Beri is still seen in Asian countries due to the large-scale consumption of thiamine depleted polished rice. Thiamine deficiency related disorders are increasingly being reported from Kashmir from last two decades. Specifically, a sensorimotor axonal neuropathy occasionally develops from thiamine deficiency and may occur even without associated Wernicke’s encephalopathy.Methods: This study is a retrospective observational study. All peripartum females referred to our departments from January 2016 to December 2017 with complaints of generalized weakness and or sensory symptoms in form of paresthesias /numbness in limbs were enrolled. Clinical features, electrophysiological features, course in hospital and response to treatment in suspected thiamine deficiency related neuropathy patients were recorded.Results: Forty-three cases were included in the study. Twenty-nine patients were suspected to have nutritional neuropathy because of thiamine deficiency at the time of admission. Out of these 27 showed improvement on treatment with thiamine.Conclusions: Thiamine responsive neuropathy is common in peripartum women of this part of world. Diagnosis is usually made clinically, in at risk individuals presenting with characteristic clinical features.

Published: April 2019

Background: One of the demyelinating and inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) is multiple sclerosis (MS). Though pathogenesis of MS is still unknown, both genetic and environmental factors are involved. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class-II alleles including HLA-DRB5*01, DQB1*0602, DRB1*1501, and DQA1*0102 may have remarkable effect in MS risk although it is controversial in studies. As there is no data with respect to the HLA-DRB1*1501-DRB5*01 correlation with MS in Khuzestan Province, Iran, the goal of the survey was to investigate the association of this haplotype with MS in this population.
Methods: The study focused on DRB5*01-DRB1*1501 haplotype association with MS in 200 patients and 200 healthy individuals. Typing of HLA was carried out by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification with sequence-specific primers (SSP) method. SPSS software was used for the statistical analyses.
Results:  No association between DRB5*01+-DRB1*1501+ and MS was found (P = 0.156). Distribution of DRB1*1501+-DRB5*01- (carrying DRB1*1501+ but not DRB5*01-) and DRB1*1501--DRB5*01- haplotypes was statistically different between patients and controls (29.73% vs. 11.81%, P < 0.001) and (42.16% vs. 68.50%, P < 0.001), respectively. However, DRB1*1501--DRB5*01+ revealed no association with MS (15.13% vs. 11.81%, P = 0.403). HLA-DRB1*1501--DRB5*01+ was signiﬁcantly more frequent among female 
patients with MS (16.19% vs. 6.12%, P = 0.019) and Persian group (17.11% vs. 5.79%, P = 0.027). Positive correlation of HLA-DRB1*1501+-DRB5*01- haplotype with the expanded disability status scale (EDSS) steps from 5 to 10 was observed (62.50% vs. 25.76%, P = 0.026). Moreover, no meaningful association was shown among the haplotypes with EDSS, course of MS, ethnicity, and gender.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that DRB1*1501+-DRB5*01- and DRB1*1501--DRB5*01- haplotypes may have positive association with MS risk. Also, this survey indicates that HLA-DRB1*1501--DRB5*01+ is involved in susceptibility of the disease among women and Persians. DRB1*1501+-DRB5*01- genotype frequency may have a key role in MS developing.

Authors: Aghaz Alireza , Alidad Alireza , Hemmati Ehsan , Jadidi Hussein , Ghelichi Leila
Published: April 2019

Background: Dysphagia is the most prevalent sign of multiple sclerosis (MS) which can reduce the quality of life and augment mortality in the final stages of MS. We presented a systematic review to estimate the prevalence of dysphagia in general and separately for each evaluation method (subjective and objective), and to analyze the causes of this rampant disease.
Methods: Cross-sectional and prospective cohort studies were reviewed and scientific 
proofs were evaluated consistent with the pre-specified levels of certainty.
Results: Twenty-two articles entered the meta-analysis phase; the estimation of the general prevalence of dysphagia in MS-affected patients was 43.33% related to all the 22 studies. Moreover, the estimate of the prevalence via the subjective (16 studies) and objective (6 studies) methods were 37.21% and 58.47%, respectively.
Conclusion: This study obtained the prevalence rate of dysphagia in patients affected by MS globally, yet there was infinite statistical society and limited methodological quality. Thus, more extensive studies are required for a better understanding of the global epidemiology regarding dysphagia in MS.

Predicados nominais em Kaiowá
Authors: Martins Andérbio Márcio Silva , Viegas Lívia Ribeiro
Published: April 2019

Neste artigo apresentamos uma proposta de descrição dos predicados nominais da língua Kaiowá, membro do sub-ramo I da família Tupí-Guaraní, segundo Rodrigues (1984/1985). Trata-se, portanto, de um estudo da descrição morfossintática dos nomes nessa língua. A análise encontra-se fundamentada primordialmente em Rodrigues (2001), mas também nos aproximamos e nos sentimos contemplados com as ideias de Payne (1997). Neste texto encontra-se, portanto, uma descrição das propriedades sintáticas dos nomes que ocorrem em função de núcleo de predicado. O olhar dado à questão nos possibilitou descrever predicados existenciais, equativos e atributivos, ampliando nosso conhecimento acerca desses fenômenospor meio da análise linguística de uma variedade da língua Kaiowá falada no cone sul de Mato Grosso do Sul. Acreditamos que os resultados podem ser comparados com outras línguas Tupí-Guaraní com o objetivo de buscar possíveis explicações das mudanças ocorridas dentro da família e identificar o que tem sido conservado sob este aspecto.

Genetic predictors of insulin-producing pancreatic tumor
Authors: Yukina M. Yu. , Nuralieva N. F. , Troshina E. A.
Published: April 2019

Insulinoma is the most common functioning tumor of the pancreas. Approximately 5% of its cases are associated with the multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 1 (MEN1), caused by mutation in the MEN1 gene. MEN1 can be manifested by pituitary and parathyroid adenomas, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, tumors of the thyroid gland, adrenals, intestine, carcinoids of lungs and other organs. However, in 5–10% of the patients with clinical manifestation of this syndrome, MEN1 mutations cannot be identified. Moreover, the disease can be caused by various abnormalities (mutations, polymorphisms, etc.) in other genes. More than 30 genes, associated with insulin-producing pancreatic tumors, have been described in the literature. With a known germinal mutation, the prognosis and management of patients with insulinoma can be determined by the hereditary disease with which the tumor is associated. The article emphasizes the need to search for new genetic markers that predispose to the development of insulinoma. The necessity of extended genetic testing of patients with insulinomas is discussed, primarily of young patients with multifocal lesions, family history and associated disorders.

Wstęp

Wraz z gwałtownym postępem technicznym i zwiększoną dostępnością badań obrazowych przypadkowo wykryte guzy nadnerczy stały się częstym problemem endokrynologicznym. Celem pracy była charakterystyka pacjentów
z przypadkowo wykrytymi guzami nadnerczy, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem wykrywanych nieprawidłowości hormonalnych.

Materiał i metody

Retrospektywne jednoośrodkowe badanie objęło 96 pacjentów (21 mężczyzn i 75 kobiet w wieku 28–88 lat, mediana 62 lata), hospitalizowanych w latach 2007–2014 z powodu nowo wykrytych guzów nadnerczy.

Wyniki

Guzy nadnerczy zostały przypadkowo wykryte u 92 pacjentów. Po przeprowadzeniu diagnostyki rozpoznano: gruczolaki nadnercza – incydentaloma – w 73 przypadkach (76%), guzkowy przerost nadnerczy w 12 (12,5%), guzy chromochłonne w 5 (5,2%), późno wykryte wrodzone przerosty nadnerczy w 5 (5,2%) oraz zespół Conna w 1 przypadku (1,1%). Co najmniej jedno zaburzenie hormonalne wykryto u 94 spośród 96 pacjentów. Najczęstszymi zaburzeniami były: nieprawidłowa aktywność reninowa osocza (67,7% pacjentów), nieprawidłowe wieczorne stężenie kortyzolu (60,2%, średnie stężenie: 8,9 µg%) i poranne (48,9%, średnie stężenie: 15,4 µg%). Znaczna grupa pacjentów cierpiała na choroby współistniejące: nadciśnienie tętnicze (70,8%), nieprawidłową tolerancję glukozy (18,7%) i cukrzycę typu 2 (16,7%). Ponadto wykazano odwrotną korelację (p < 0,05) największego wymiaru guza ze stężeniem ACTH.

Wnioski

U większości pacjentów z przypadkowo wykrytymi guzami nadnerczy, pomimo braku charakterystycznych objawów, można wykryć nieprawidłowości w badaniach hormonalnych. Nadciśnienie i cukrzyca występują u tych pacjentów częściej niż w populacji ogólnej.

The Digital Advertising Gap and the Online News Industry in Croatia
Authors: Bilić Paško , Primorac Jaka
Published: April 2019

Internet advertising brought about many changes in communication production, distribution, and consumption. By using critical political economy of communication as the mainstay of our approach, we provide supporting evidence of the ambiguous influence of data-driven advertising dynamic on the news industry and audience habits. We look at what we define as the digital advertising gap, or the difference between the size of the internet advertising market and the total income of digital news’ firms. Digital intermediaries such as Google and Facebook are the final destinations for the majority of internet advertising investments in Europe and Croatia. A multi-sided, internet advertising market creates a fertile ground for the production of untrustworthy journalistic content. The digital advertising gap provides an example of a ‘market failure’ in which the market does not efficiently allocate public information goods. We argue that the confidence in the ability of the market to self-regulate the internet should be re-considered in European and national media policies.

Kazališta, baš kao i tvrtke u korporativnom sektoru, imaju zadatak informiranja i održavanja odnosa s publikom. Za navedene zadaće pretežno su zaduženi odjeli marketinga, odnosa s javnošću ili pak propagande. Upravo zbog specifične organizacije odnosa s javnošću u kulturi, u suradnji s Gradskim dramskim kazalištem „Gavella”, provedena su dva kvalitativna i jedno kvantitativno istraživanje. Cilj prvog istraživanja bio je metodom dubinskog intervjua utvrditi kako djelatnici GDK-a „Gavella” doživljavaju stratešku komunikaciju kazališta. Nadalje, cilj drugog istraživanja, u kojemu je korištena metoda fokus-grupa, bio je analizirati imidž GDK-a „Gavella” te recepciju predstava kao programskog sadržaja kod publike. Konačno, cilj trećeg istraživanja, provedenog metodom ankete, bio je ispitati obilježja i preferencije publike GDK-a „Gavella”. Zaključci istraživanja pokazuju dvosmjeran utjecaj: imidža kazališta na očekivanja gledatelja putem repertoara te strateške komunikacije na imidž kazališta.

Requirements for cloud services include security and privacy. Although many security patterns, privacy patterns, and non-pattern-based knowledge have been reported, knowing which pattern or combination of patterns to use in a specific scenario is challenging due to the sheer volume of options and the layered cloud stack. To deal with security and privacy in cloud services, this study proposes the Cloud Security and Privacy Metamodel (CSPM). CSPM uses a consistent approach to classify and support existing security and privacy patterns. In addition, CSPM is used to develop a security and privacy awareness process to develop cloud systems. The effectiveness and practicality of CSPM is demonstrated via several case studies.

Published: April 2019

The present study investigates the reliability and validity of the Positive-Negative Relationship Quality (PN-RQ) scale in Turkey. In order to determine the validity and reliability of the scale, two studies were performed. The first was carried out with emerging adults (university students) who were in a romantic relationship (148 females, 43 males, and 2 unkown) and had the main purpose to examine the structure validity of the measurement tool in the Turkish sample with an exploratory analysis. Study 2 was performed online with 513 married adults (359 females, 149 males, and 5 unknown); confirmatory findings and criterion validity studies were added. Exploratory factor analyses revealed that relationship quality had a two-factor structure and that there was also a negative relationship between the factors. Confirmatory factor analyses on the married sample showed that the bi-factor model provided evidence for the multidimensional nature of the scale. Both studies demonstrated high internal consistency.

Dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar di perguruan tinggi, mahasiswa dituntut tertib dalam melaksanakan perkuliahan. Sebagai syarat agar mahasiswa dapat melanjutkan ke semester berikutnya adalah jumlah kehadiran dan indeks prestasi. Dalam pelaksanaannya, selalu ada mahasiswa bermasalah yang melakukan pelanggaran yaitu jumlah ketidakhadiran yang melebihi batas sehingga harus diterbitkan Surat Peringatan, atau bahkan putus studi. Tujuan surat peringatan ini adalah agar mahasiswa mengetahui status akademiknya sekaligus memunculkan efek jera agar kesalahan yang serupa tidak diulangai lagi. Namun pada prakteknya, masih ada saja mahasiswa yang melanggar meskipun sudah pernah mendapatkan surat peringatan. Kecenderungan yang terjadi adalah mahasiswa yang memiliki jumlah ketidakhadiran cukup banyak selama beberapa semester, pada semester berikutnya jumlah ketidakhadirannya pun akan banyak lagi. Hal ini juga berdampak pada indeks prestasi semesternya. Dalam penelitian ini akan dibuat sebuah sistem yang dapat mengklasifikasikan mahasiswa berdasarkan jumlah ketidakhadiran mahasiswa selama dua semester. Metode klasifikasi yang digunakan adalah clustering dengan Fuzzy C-Means. Hasil klasifikasi digunakan untuk memprediksi perilaku mahasiswa di semester berikutnya. Diharapkan penelitian ini akan bermanfaat untuk proses pembinaan mahasiswa dalam menempuh kegiatan belajar mengajar di perguruan tinggi.

Resilient urbanization and infrastructure governance: the case of the Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority, 1993–2007
Authors: Spencer James H. , Meng Bunnarith
Published: April 2019

After years of civil war, Cambodia began to focus on reconstruction and the development of its much-needed infrastructure across the country in the early 1990s. While most government institutions at the capital/provincial levels were crippled, the Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority (PPWSA) was able to provide excellent water service to most of the capital's residents, even the extremely poor. This case represents a traditional utility that was able to creatively experiment with new management practices and solicit community involvement in the administration of its work. It also illustrates the fact that under certain conditions, urban water services can actually generate revenues to subsidize other functions of the government. Specifically, it provides a useful illustration of a resilient governance of infrastructure able to adapt to rapidly changing and challenging circumstances.

Methods of reconstruction of the circumstances of traffic accidents
Authors: Nikonov V.N.
Published: April 2019

For the reconstruction of the circumstances of vehicle collisions, three main methods are used in world practice. The traditional method is based on the partial application of the law of conservation of energy and has significant limitations on its capabilities. The expanded methodology fully includes the capabilities and apparatus of both the traditional methodology and the dynamics of an undeformed solid body as a whole, and is implemented as an expert system in the form of a computer program. However, for its effective application, the results of numerous crash tests are required to determine the rigidity of the vehicle structure under various loading methods. The most universal and effective method is based on the application of the finite element method, which makes it possible to calculate the laws of the interaction forceschange most accurately during their collision.

Authors: Topolnikov A.S.
Published: April 2019

The paper is devoted to numerical modeling of Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible media in the case, when there exist gas and liquid inside the rectangular calculation region, which are separated by interphase boundary. The set of equations for incompressible liquid accounting for viscous, gravitational and surface (capillary) forces is solved by finite-difference scheme on the spaced grid, for description of interphase boundary the ideology of Level Set Method is used. By developed numerical code the set of hydrodynamic problems is solved, which describe the motion of two-phase incompressible media with interphase boundary. As a result of numerical simulation the solutions are obtained, which are in good agreement with existing analytical and experimental solutions.

Inclusión de niños de 6 a 7 años con necesidades educativas especiales (discapacidades sensorial, mental e intelectual) en una escuela primaria con Unidad de Servicio de Apoyo a la Educación Regular, en San Luis Potosí, México
Authors: Brunot Stéphanie
Published: April 2019

Este artículo, cuyo objetivo es estudiar los factores que posiblemente influyen en el éxito o el fracaso educativo de niños con discapacidad en la educación básica regular, se desprende de una investigación sociológica sobre la inclusión física, social y pedagógica en una escuela regular de niños con necesidades educativas especiales, la cual responde a un modelo híbrido que conserva la intervención de la educación especial para la inclusión física y social, pero no pedagógica. Este estudio, efectuado durante tres meses, se restringe a una sola escuela y a tres casos de niños de la misma edad que cursan el mismo grado escolar. Se concluye que la inclusión en una escuela regular con una Unidad de Servicio de Apoyo a la Educación Regular es limitada en el aspecto pedagógico y para algunas discapacidades.
La cara oculta de la inclusión social: Cortes genitales femeninos, rituales y salud
Authors: Rodríguez Mir Javier , Martínez Gandolfi Alejandra
Published: April 2019

El propósito de este artículo es exponer las dificultades y los conflictos que se suscitan a la hora de abordar un tema tan complejo como lo es la ablación femenina. El trabajo se basa en una revisión bibliográfica exhaustiva, complementada con trabajo de campo antropológico y entrevistas propias en Sierra Leona. Como resultados, se presenta el estudio de los efectos colaterales del corte genital femenino y criterios para medicalizar; los derechos humanos y el relativismo cultural al respecto, así como la descripción de ablación en Sierra Leona. De la investigación se desprende que estos rituales afectan no solo la salud, sino también dilemas éticos, filosóficos, morales y legales; implican los derechos humanos y el relativismo cultural. El valor y la originalidad del texto consisten en abordar con rigor un tema de alta relevancia, como lo es los cortes genitales femeninos, poco conocido en América Latina, a lo que se suma el trabajo de campo y las entrevistas. Se concluye que todo proyecto de investigación sobre ablación debe abordarse como un fenómeno holístico, como un hecho social total, que alcanza múltiples ámbitos de la sociedad.
Costumbre y cosmopolítica náayeri. El dilema del hermetismo y la lucha por el territorio en contra de los megaproyectos
Authors: Benciolini Maria
Published: April 2019

El objetivo de este trabajo es reflexionar sobre las razones que han llevado a los náayeri a emprender un proceso de resistencia en contra de un proyecto hidroeléctrico en su territorio. El trabajo está dividido en dos partes; en la primera (a través de fuentes de segunda mano) se discute la relación dialéctica entre actividad ritual y vida política de las comunidades náayeri;en la segunda (basada en datos etnográficos) se discute sobre la relevancia de la actual resistencia en contra del proyecto hidroeléctrico debido a la afectación que este causaría en varios sitios sagrados y a la pérdida de ciertas actividades rituales si estos sitios fueran afectados. Entre los resultados, destaca cómo los náayeri, a lo largo de los siglos, han empleado el ritual no solo para establecer relaciones con sus antepasados y dioses, sino también como instrumento político en su relación con los actores políticos y religiosos con quienes han tenido contacto a lo largo de su historia. El texto ofrece una lectura original del costumbre cora y de su eficacia política y ritual tanto con respecto del pasado como de la situación actual. Entre las conclusiones, se determina que las decisiones políticas y las acciones rituales tomadas por las comunidades náayeri frente a la amenaza a sus sitios sagrados pueden ser insertadas en un contexto diacrónico más amplio, en el que las comunidades, a lo largo de los siglos, han  construido y negociado sus formas rituales y de acción política para proteger una de las cosas para ellos más importantes: el costumbre.
Dos lecturas de la Epístola moral a Fabio después del exilio de 1939
Authors: Muñoz Covarrubias Pablo
Published: April 2019

El objetivo principal de este artículo es examinar los vínculos entre la Epístola moral a Fabio, de Andrés Fernández de Andrada, y la obra de los escritores españoles exiliados. Especialmente, este trabajo se acerca a los textos críticos de Luis Cernuda y María Zambrano en los cuales se destaca la relevancia de la tradición poética durante los años iniciales del exilio, y se constata la relevancia que tuvo el gran poema de Fernández de Andrada entre los exiliados. Es de importancia destacar el hecho de que hasta ahora no se había estudiado la recepción de la Epístola en los textos preparados por esta generación de autores.
The Key microRNAs Regulated the Development of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer by Targeting TGF-β-induced epithelial–mesenchymal Transition
Authors: Chen Gang , Ye Bo
Published: April 2019

Purpose:

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) was reported to play a key role
in the development of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The process of EMT is regulated by
the changes of miRNAs expression. However, it is still unknown which miRNA changed the most
in the process of canceration and whether these changes played a role in tumor development.

Methods:

A total of 36 SCLC patients treated in our hospital between 11th, 2015 and 10th, 2017
were enrolled. The samples of cancer tissues and paracancer tissues of patients were collected and
analyzed. Then, the miRNAs in normal lung cells and NSCLC cells were also analyzed. In the
presence of TGF-β, we transfected the miRNA mimics or inhibitor into NSCLC cells to investigate
the role of the significantly altered miRNAs in cell migration and invasion and in the process of
EMT.

Results:

MiR-330-3p was significantly up-regulated in NSCLC cell lines and tissues and miRNA-
205 was significantly down-regulated in NSCLC cell lines and NSCLC tissues. Transfected
miRNA-205 mimics or miRMA-330-3p inhibitor inhibited the migration and invasion of NCIH1975
cell and restrained TGF-β-induced EMT in NSCLC cells.

Conclusion:

miRNA-330-3p and miRNA-205 changed the most in the process of canceration in
NSCLC. Furthermore, miR-330-3p promoted cell invasion and metastasis in NSCLC probably by
promoting EMT and miR-205 could restrain NSCLC likely by suppressing EMT.
Recent Advances in Apoptosis: THE Role of Hydrazones
Authors: Çıkla-Süzgün Pelin , Küçükgüzel Ş. Güniz
Published: April 2019

:

The process of programmed cell death in higher eukaryotes (apoptosis), is generally characterized by distinct morphological characteristics and energy-dependent biochemical mechanisms. Apoptosis is considered as a vital component of various processes including normal cell turnover, proper development and functioning of the immune system, hormone-dependent atrophy, embryonic development and chemical-induced cell death. Apoptosis seems to play an important key role in the progression of several human diseases like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and many types of cancer. Promotion of apoptosis may be a good approach for the prevention of cancer cell proliferation. In early studies, antitumor compounds have been found to induce the apoptotic process in tumor cells. On the other hand, several hydrazones were reported to have lower toxicity than hydrazides due to the blockage of –NH2 group. Therefore, the design of hydrazones that activate and promote apoptosis is an attractive strategy for the discovery and development of potential anticancer agents. The aim of this review is to provide a general overview of current knowledge and the connection between apoptosis and hydrazone. It is also the guide for the apoptotic activities of new hydrazone derivatives.
Manuscripts from Different Brands of Ballpoint Pens – GC/MS Ageing Profile in Brazilian Tropical Weather
Authors: de Carvalho Carina M.B. , Ortiz Scorsatto R. , Limberger Renata P.
Published: April 2019

Background:

Dating of ballpoint pen manuscripts in forensic documents is still a challenge
for experts. Methods of ink dating consider solvent evaporation through time, especially 2-
phenoxyethanol (2-PE).

Objective:

The objective of the researchers was to perform a continued study with pen ink strokes
of ballpoint pens commercialized in Brazil, to characterize the ageing profile of 15 brands of blue
and black pens.

Methods:

Solvent composition analysis of ballpoint pen ink lines written in white and recycled
paper was performed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, to quantify 2-PE, in recently
written lines and in lines aged 4, 18, 27 and 36 months.

Results:

The results showed that the pens had initial quantities of 2-PE smaller than in the Europe
despite of having similar ageing behavior. Such kind of paper had more influence on aged pen
strokes than in the recently applied pen strokes. Light and heat accelerated ageing. Some pens
stopped ageing at 18, 27 and 36 months.

Conclusion:

The results obtained were promising for elucidation of the ageing behavior of pen ink
lines in tropical weather, but further statistical treatments could be done to adequate interpretation
in real cases.
Aspect-Oriented System Coupling Metric and its Validation
Authors: Kaur Amandeep , Grover Pritam Singh , Dixit Ashutosh
Published: April 2019

Background:

Aspect-oriented programming promises to enhance the extensibility and reusability of code through the removal of tangled and crosscutting code. Determining the degree of coupling for Aspect- Oriented Systems (AOSs) would assist in the quantification of various software attributes and hence improve quality.

Objective:

The research aims to present a novel Aspect-oriented System Coupling Metric (COAO), that calculates the coupling for the complete aspect-oriented system as a whole, based on the properties of elements and the relationships among them.

Methods:

The process of defining a metric essentially requires a clear, unambiguous definition of primary and relevant concepts related to Aspect-Oriented Programming. As such, first and foremost, novel definitions of basic concepts such as system, element, relation, module, and attribute are specified concerning Aspect- Oriented Programming. Subsequently, a metric for Aspect-Oriented System Coupling is proposed. Subsequently, the proposed metric is validated theoretically against Braiand properties for coupling of software systems. Finally, an illustration for calculation of the proposed metric is demonstrated using an exemplary aspect-oriented system.

Results:

The findings reveal that the proposed Aspect-Oriented Coupling metric conforms to the five Property- Based software engineering measurements given by Braiand et al. for coupling. This indicates that the proposed metric for the Aspect-oriented System Coupling metric COAO is a valid metric for measuring coupling in Aspect-oriented Software Systems.

Conclusion:

Results of validation along with the supportive illustration show that single metric to assess coupling for the complete Aspect-oriented Software System is theoretically sound and also easies the calculation of coupling of a software system.
Optimization Based Sink Deployment Technique in WSN to Improve Network Performance
Authors: Chandel Sonal Telang , Sharma Sanjay
Published: April 2019

Background & Objective:

Currently, WSN (Wireless Sensor Networks) provides a variety
of services in industrial and commercial applications. WSN consists of nodes that are used to sense
the environments like humidity, temperature, pressure, sound, etc. As the use of WSN grows there
are some issues like coverage, fault tolerance, a deployment problem, localization, Quality of Service,
etc. which needs to be resolved. Sink deployment is a very important problem because it is not the only
impact on performance, but also influence on deployment cost. In traditional WSN, a single sink is deployed
in the network, which aggregates all the data. Due to this, the whole network is suffering from
some serious issues like delay, congestion, network failure that reduces network performance.

Methods:

One solution is to deploy multiple sinks instead of a single sink. Deploying multiple sinks
can improve network performance, but increases sink deployment cost. In this paper, an ISDOA (Improved
Sink Deployment Optimization Algorithm) is proposed to find the optimum number of sinks
and their optimum location in ROI. Simulation is carried out in Matlab simulator. The impact of sensors
and sinks on various network performance parameters like throughput, network lifetime, packet
delivery ratio, energy consumption and cost of the network is analyzed.

Results & Conclusion:

It is shown by simulation results that the number of sinks varies inversely
with energy consumption of the nodes; and it is linearly proportional to the network lifetime,
throughput and packet delivery ratio. Furthermore, results show that the proposed approach outperforms
random deployment with 25% higher throughput, 30% better network lifetime, 15% lesser energy
consumption and 21% optimized cost of the network, respectively.
