The synthesis of biologically valuable protein, polysaccharides, incl. chitin-glucan-mannan complex non-pathogenic strain of the fungus Aspergillus oryzae in the process of solid-phase cultivation on the secondary raw materials processing industries of the AIC. The content of crude protein on the medium with sunflower meal was 78.0%, which was 2 times higher than the initial medium (38.6%); a higher accumulation of proteins was achieved on media with sunflower meal and grain bard (4:1) - 86.4%. It was established that the media containing grain bard in its composition provided the highest accumulation of polysaccharides - 25.0 - 30.0%, which is 1.5 times higher than on the initial medium. Introduction to the composition of the nutrient medium of sunflower meal in the amount of 20 and 80% of grain bards allowed to increase the yield of the chitin-glucan complex to 32%, while the amount of protein was 76%. The content of essential amino acids of microbial biomass grown on the medium with sunflower meal increased 1.8 times and amounted to 143.7 mg/g. The main increase in the content of essential amino acids accounted for such amino acids as methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, valine. The obtained results can be used for the production of a protein-polysaccharide feed enrichment with sorbing properties.
ON FOREST ECONOMICS TRANSFORMATION
Authors: Chochaev А. Kh.
Published: May 2019

The article analyzes problems of the Russia forest complex development related to social, environmental and infrastructure issues, the solution of which is impossible without state participation. The reasons of the poor adaptation of the forest complex market economy to long development periods, as well as the environmental consequences of economic activity, including environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, loss of biodiversity and damage to public health, are considered. The analysis of the forest complex market economy features is made on domestic and foreign examples, a serious shortcoming of which is the isolation of the investment payback process from the chosen economic development direction. Forest rejuvenation in this way leads to a decrease or even loss of the forests biospheric properties to regulate the surface runoff of atmospheric precipitation and the formation of groundwater reserves. It is known, that in the forests of the European part of Russia have been accumulated large reserves of semi-subsistence conifer and hard wood. It is shown that to involve it in use it is necessary to change the principles of annual use calculations and to actually re-develop the regulatory framework for the intermediate use of forest wood resources. Four forest management units in the forest economy of the forest complex were identified: state forest management and implementation of medium-term and long-term planning of all types of work in forests, taking into account materials of the state forest inventory and assessing the state and trends in the development of domestic and foreign timber markets; protection and protection of forests from fires and other adverse natural factors (insects, fungi, pollution); carrying out planned logging with the differentiated use of all types of wood and the organization of reforestation taking into account the diversity of growing conditions and the possibilities of using the lands of the state forest fund of Russia. It is advisable to create economic mechanisms to stimulate the activities of all enterprises and institutions of the Russia forest complex for the transition to new environmentally sound technologies in the forest. A flexible economic mechanism is needed to include forest management costs in the cost of harvested wood in order to restore the ecological, economic, social and cultural properties of forests.

Abstract : The research objectives is to analyze agglomeration over the company’s productivity of 2 important factors of agglomeration: interindustry (localization) and cross industry spillover (urbanization) and review its effect if those agglomeration derives from upstream or downstream industry. In addition to it, this research is determining on how geographic distance and economic distance against spillover strength. By means of the company‘s level panel data of heavy and medium industrial survey result by the National Statistical Bureau in local regency/municipality level ranging from 2008 to 2015 and 2010 output input table to see the vertical industry relation, the outcomes may show that both company accepting positive and significant impact on productivity spillover of the same industrial sector, and other industrial sector in the same region. Nevertheless, the more far the area geographically, the less its impact. Productivity spillover is also determined from upstream dan downstream industries concentrating in the same region. However, the economic distance effect is not identified on the upstream level. Hence, the policy implication of the research result is to encourage and shaping the downstream industries, facilitate technology transfer from upstream companies, and periodically evaluate industrial estates.Keywords: agglomeration, downstream, productivity, spillover, upstream.Abstrak : Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh aglomerasi terhadap produktivitas perusahaan dari dua faktor penting aglomerasi, yaitu intraindustry (lokalisasi) dan crossindustry spillover (urbanisasi) dan mengkaji bagaimana pengaruhnya jika aglomerasi tersebut berasal dari industri upstream atau downstream dari perusahaan tersebut. Selain itu penelitian ini juga ingin membuktikan pengaruh jarak geografis dan jarak ekonomi terhadap kekuatan spillover. Dengan menggunakan data panel level perusahaan dari hasil survei industri besar dan sedang BPS untuk tingkat kabupaten kota dengan rentang waktu tahun 2008-2015 dan Tabel input output 2010 untuk melihat hubungan vertikal industri, diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa perusahaan menerima dampak spillover produktivitas yang positif dan signifikan dari berkumpulnya perusahaan dari sektor industri yang sama, maupun dari sektor industri lain yang berada di wilayah yang sama. Namun makin jauh jarak geografisnya, pengaruh tersebut semakin kecil. Spillover produktivitas juga diperoleh dari perusahaan sektor upstream dan downstream yang berkumpul diwilayah yang sama dengan perusahaan tersebut. Makin dekat jarak ekonominya makin besar pengaruh spillover dari sektor downstream. Pengaruh jarak ekonomi ini tidak ditemukan pada sektor upstream. Dengan demikian implikasi kebijakan dari hasil penelitian yaitu mendorong terciptanya hilirisasi industri, memfalitasi transfer teknologi dari perusahaan upstream, dan melakukan evaluasi kawasan industri secara berkala.Kata kunci: aglomerasi, downstream, produktivitas, spillover, upstream.

Authors: Meshchakova Nina M. , Dyakovich Marina P. , Shayakhmetov Salim F.
Published: May 2019

Introduction.Methanol and its derivatives occupy one of the leading places among the main organic synthesis intermediates in terms of their importance and scale of production. According to experts, by 2027 the global demand for methanol can reach 135 million tons, the annual growth will be about 5.5%. However, there is little information regarding the assessment of working conditions and occupational risks for workers in modern methanol production and its derivatives.

The aim of the studyis hygienic assessment of working conditions and the formation of health risks in workers of modern production of methanol and methylamines.

Materials and methods.The assessment of the main adverse factors of production is given. When studying the state of health, objective indicators (the results of an in-depth medical examination) and subjective (the results of a quantitative assessment of the risks of the main pathological syndromes associated with health) are considered.

Results.According to long-term observations, the concentration of harmful substances in the air of the working area, indicators of labor severity, parameters of physical factors met hygienic requirements, with the exception of industrial noise exceeding the maximum permissible level, as well as labor intensity of 1 degree. The General assessment of working conditions corresponds to the category of harmful 2 degrees (3.2). According to the results of the medical examination and quantitative assessment of the risks of health disorders in workers, the most significant were functional disorders and diseases of the circulatory system. The levels of somatic pathology on the part of the main body systems were significantly higher in apparatchiks compared to the engineering and technical personnel (ETP).

Conclusions:In the production of methyl alcohol and methylamines, the main hygienic importance is the impact on workers of the complex of harmful substances of 1-IV hazard classes in low concentrations, increased levels of industrial noise, labor intensity of 1 degree. According to the subjective assessment of health and medical examination, the greatest prevalence of health risks in workers was observed from the circulatory system, and the levels of the revealed somatic pathology were statistically significantly higher in apparatchiks compared with the ETP.

Why Is Tax Knowledge and Tax Understanding Important?
Authors: Susyanti Jeni , Askandar Noor Shodiq
Published: May 2019

Micro, small, and medium (MSMEs) business play a crucial role in the economy of Indonesia. Unfortunately, there is low-income tax receipt from MSME sectors. This study examined the effect of taxation knowledge and understanding toward tax compliance among MSMEs owners, exclusively culinary business owners. The quantitative method was used in analyzing the data collected. The sample size for the research was 50, with all MSME owners responded through the questionnaire distributed. This study concluded that there is a positive effect between taxation knowledge and level of understanding toward tax compliance. It means that an increase in tax knowledge and tax understanding level can lead to an increase of tax compliance level. Although this study succeeded to prove the effect between variables, the results of secondary data indicate that many MSME owners are still confused in implementing tax regulations, PP-23/2018.
How a rational organization responds to an increasingly mediatized world
Authors: Ho Tung Manh
Published: May 2019

With 64 million accounts, Vietnam ranked seventh in the world in terms of Facebook users, hence, how tocontrol the risks and harness the opportunities of social media is one of the questions that occupy theVietnamese elites. One of the organizations that is in the forefront of dealing with these issues is theCommunist Party of Vietnam's Central Propaganda and Training Commission (CPTC), which is taskedwith "maintaining the integrity and consistency" in the narrative of Vietnamese media. Employing thetheory of Richard Scott (1998) on organizations as rational systems and that of Hoskins and Loughlin onmediatization (2010), this paper aims to provide an account of how the CPTC has rationally changed andadapted since the rise of social media. Through a literature review, this study finds that to deal withproblems raised by social media, the CPTC has (1) since 2012 created their own social media pages todisseminate information and viewpoints that counter the "misinformation" and "misguided opinions"; (2)developed specific discourses to guide relevant discussions; (3) included "policy communication" and"media crisis management" into their agenda. Further research must be done to determine how effectivethese changes are in containing the risks without losing the opportunities of social media. The CPTC'sactions nonetheless provide a useful lesson for how organizations could handle the increasingly mediatizedworld.
The State of the Art in Visualizing Multivariate Networks
Authors: Nobre Carolina , Meyer Miriah , Streit Marc , Lex Alexander
Published: May 2019

Multivariate networks are made up of nodes and their relationships (links), but also data about those nodes and links as attributes. Most real-world networks are associated with several attributes, and many analysis tasks depend on analyzing both, relationships and attributes. Visualization of multivariate networks, however, is challenging, especially when both the topology of the network and the attributes need to be considered concurrently. In this state-of-the-art report, we analyze current practices and classify techniques along four axes: layouts, view operations, layout operations, and data operations. We also provide an analysis of tasks specific to multivariate networks and give recommendations for which technique to use in which scenario. Finally, we survey application areas and evaluation methodologies.
Results from a water-saving maintenance campaign at Cape Town schools in the run-up to Day Zero
Authors: Booysen MJ , Ripunda` Cheroline , Visser Martine
Published: May 2019

Many South African schools struggle to maintain their water systems, particularly in the water-constrained Western Cape province, where the so-called "Day Zero'' drought had intensified the urgency of saving water and increased the cost of supply. The problem is compounded by insufficient governmental funding, the lack of well-structured government policies, and a shortage of skilled maintenance staff at the schools. We evaluate the impact of a plumbing maintenance drive at 196 schools at the apex of the drought. Hypothesising that even the most basic maintenance could be a huge financial help to these schools, we gave plumbers a list of typical easy-gain repairs and restricted the budget to R5,000 per school, with some ad hoc exceptions. We then analysed the cost and benefit of these repairs, using data on the minimum night flow as recorded by smart water meters. We found an average of 28% reduction in MNF within five days of the reported maintenance date. The once-off R1,22 million spent on the 196 schools resulted in a monthly saving of R1,90 million -- a saving that the schools could put to academic purposes.
World Trade and Investment Law in a Time of Crisis: Distribution, Development and Social Protection
Authors: Trubek David M. , Santos Alvaro , Thomas Chantal
Published: May 2019

Anthem Press, 2019, ForthcomingWorld trade and investment law is in crisis: new and progressive ideas are needed. Rules that facilitated globalization and supported global economic growth are being challenged. A system of global governance that once seemed secure is now at risk as the US ignores the rules while developing countries struggle to escape restrictions. Some want to tear global institutions and agreements down while others try desperately to maintain the status quo. Rejecting both options, we convened a group of trade and investment law experts from 10 countries South and North who have proposed ideas for a new world trade and investment law that would maintain global growth while distributing costs and benefits more fairly. This essay frames the issues and introduces the volume. We look at the impact of trade and investment law on the global distribution of resources, and pay special attention to those who have suffered from trade dislocation and to restrictions that have hampered innovative growth strategies in developing countries. This perspective shapes a progressive trade and investment law agenda that is outlined in the book and summarized here. We suggest new ways to link trade with protection for labor; measures to ensure that gains from trade are used to offset losses; new rules that can protect foreign investments without hamstringing developing governments or harming local communities; innovative procedures to allow developing countries freedom to try innovative growth strategies; and methods to cope with new products like cannabis.
SSRN and open access for non-institutional scholars
Authors: Li Tiffany
Published: May 2019

Originally published in the Citizen Technologist (UC Berkeley Center for Technology Society and Policy). Academics and open access advocates expressed concern when Elsevier acquired SSRN, the previously free and open social sciences research network. It appears now that those fears may have come true, as recent copyright takedowns by SSRN indicate a shift away from open access. The loss of a well-established open access research network will be deeply felt in the social sciences research community, including in my own field of law and public policy.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with abnormal functional interactions among large-scale brain networks. Here we report findings from a randomized, active-controlled trial examining whether mindfulness-based therapy can regulate specific patterns of resting-state functional connectivity in clinically depressed patients. We show that a brief, clinically effective mindfulness intervention functionally decouples top-down control regions from brain areas implicated in sensory, affective, and attentional processing. While previous work has demonstrated the clinical impact of mindfulness training, the present findings shed light on the precise neural targets, providing new insight into the specificity of this therapeutic approach.
Crud (Re)defined
Authors: Orben Amy , Lakens Daniel
Published: May 2019

NOW PUBLISHED: https://doi.org/10.1177%2F2515245920917961. The idea that in behavioural research everything correlates with everything else was a niche area of the scientific literature for over half a century. With the increasing availability of large datasets in psychology, and the heightened interest in falsifiability and null results, the ‘crud’ factor has however become more relevant than ever before. It is often referenced by researchers to discount minute – but statistically significant – effects that are deemed too small to be considered meaningful. This review tracks the history of the crud factor and examines how its use in the scientific literature has developed to this day. It highlights a common and deep-seated lack of understanding about what the crud factor is, whether it can be proven to exist or estimated, and how it should be interpreted. This makes the crud factor a convenient tool for psychologists to disregard unwanted results, even though the presence of a crud factor should be a large inconvenience for the discipline. To inspire a concerted effort to take the crud factor more seriously, this review clarifies the definitions of important concepts, highlights current pitfalls and poses questions that need to be addressed to ultimately improve our understanding of the crud factor. Such work will be necessary to develop the crud factor into a useful concept encouraging improved psychological research and theory corroboration practices.
Brokers, clients and elite political networks in Mexico
Authors: Van Gunten Tod
Published: May 2019

In closed but competitive political regimes, political leaders face a strategic choice between centralizing and inclusive strategies of elite coalition formation. While studies of political networks in these regimes focus on patron-client systems -- a classic centralization strategy -- I argue that political leaders are likely to pursue mixed strategies that blend patronage with more deferential strategies, including elite brokerage. This paper analyzes the role of patron-client ties and brokerage positions in Mexican cabinet appointments over a period of sixty years (1940-2000), demonstrating that elite brokers were more likely to be included in elite coalitions. Although network theorists have argued that brokers are most important in "factionalized" elites, the results show that brokers were valued elite coalition partners during the period of consolidated one-party rule, but not during the earlier, more contested period of regime formation. The analysis also suggests that patronage became less hierarchical as the regime consolidated, shifting towards a sponsorship system of competing patrons rather than a classic patronage pyramid.
Status and trends of human-wildlife conflict: A case study of Lelep and Yamphudin region, Kanchenjunga Conservation Area, Taplejung, Nepal
Authors: Sherchan Roshan , Bhandari Ananta
Published: May 2019

Aim Human-wildlife conflict is one of the major challenges in Kanchenjunga Conservation Area. It may erode public support in wildlife conservation. Here, we review the extent to which wildlife damages livestock and crops.

Location Lelep and Yamphudin region, Kanchenjunga Conservation Area, Taplejung, Nepal

Materials and methodsThe study employed a combination of surveying methods such as focus group discussion, key informant interview and field observation from 21 July to 06 August 2013. Focus group discussion was done primarily with the representatives of snow leopard conservation committee in Lelep and Yamphudin.

Key Findings Livestock depredation in Ghunsa valley, Lelep village development committee was increasing with an annual average loss rate of 11% in ten years (2005- 2014). Despite community-based insurance schemes, loss has increased to 28% from 17.2% in 2014. No retaliatory killings of snow leopards were reported since 2005, which may be attributable to the insurance scheme. In Yamphudin, the average annual livestock loss rate was 4.7% from 2005 to 2014, mostly by wild dogs. Similarly, crop damage was a severe problem in Yamphudin, mostly by the Himalayan black bear, palm civet, barking deer, rhesus monkey and porcupine.

Conservation implication Although strict guarding was effective to reduce conflict, alternative strategy is needed that requires minimum human involvement. Premium and relief amount is inadequte. It therefore needs a thorough revision. Predator proof corals in Lonak, Dhudhpokhari, Ramjer and Dasa pasture can be effective means to reduce the potential conflict.
Knowledge on Children’s Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder among School Teachers in Chitwan
Authors: Lamichhane S , Sharma P
Published: May 2019

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. Children with ADHD are at risk for psychological, social and academic problems so that teacher’s knowledge on ADHD affects the child’s academic and psychological difficulties. Objective of this study was to identify the knowledge about ADHD in children among school teachers and identify association between knowledge and selected variables.

Methods: We used descriptive and cross sectional research design. Structured self administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Total 9public and private schools wererandomly selected for study. Calculated sample size was 380. However, 328 teachers returned the questionnaire (response rate was 86%). Collected data were entered in SPSS for analysis. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis of data.

Results: Among 328 teachers, 68.3% had inadequate knowledge while 31.7% had adequate knowledge on ADHD.  Age and years of teaching were significantly associated with knowledge of ADHD, however, sex of the teachers and type of school were not associated with knowledge of ADHD.

Conclusion: Knowledge of ADHD among school teachers is still inadequate which suggests the need for effective health education programme on ADHD for understanding and managing the behavioural and psychological problems caused by ADHD among school children.

Krisis politik 1998 adalah puncak krisis Indonesia yang berisi tuntutan adanya reformasi di berbagai sektor, termasuk politik. Krisis politik ini sendiri telah mengakibatkan hilangnya legitimasi pemerintah Orde Baru sebagai pemegang mandat kekuasaan politik di Indonesia. Padahal faktanya sejak awal krisis terjadi, pada akhir Oktober 1997 hingga April 1998 pemerintah Indonesia mengundang IMF dengan melakukan beberapa kali nota kesepakatan (Letter of Intent) untuk penanganan krisis dan memperbaiki kondisi keuangan rupiah yang sakit parah. Penelitian ini fokus menganalisis ekonomi politik neoliberalisme International Monetary Fund (IMF) yang tertuang pada Letter of Intent dalam krisis politik Indonesia 1997-1998 tersebut. Penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif. Kerangka teori yang digunakan adalah teori Washington Consensus yang dikembangkan oleh John Williamson yang merupakan operasionalisasi dari gagasan ekonomi politik neoliberalisme. Hasil pembahasan menunjukan bahwa kebijakan-kebijakan IMF dalam penanganan krisis di Indonesia yang tertuang dalam Letter of Intent tersebut tidak terlepas dari agenda-agenda Washington Consensus yang berdasarkan pada konsep ekonomi politik neoliberalisme.
FRED Italian Registry: a multicenter experience with the flow re-direction endoluminal device for intracranial aneurysms

Published: May 2019

OBJECTIVE

The introduction of flow-diverter devices (FDDs) has revolutionized the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Here the authors present their Italian multicenter experience using the flow re-direction endoluminal device (FRED) in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms, evaluating both short- and long-term safety and efficacy of this device.

METHODS

Between February 2013 and December 2014, 169 consecutive aneurysms treated using FRED in 166 patients were entered into this study across 30 Italian centers. Data collected included patient demographics, aneurysm location and characteristics, baseline angiography, adverse event and serious adverse event information, morbidity and mortality rates, and pre- and posttreatment modified Rankin Scale scores, as well as angiographic and cross-sectional CT/MRI follow-up at 3–6 months and/or 12–24 months per institutional standard of care. All images were reviewed and adjudicated by an independent core lab.

RESULTS

Of the 169 lesions initially entered into the study, 4 were later determined to be extracranial or nonaneurysmal by the core lab and were excluded, leaving 165 aneurysms in 162 patients treated in 163 procedures. Ninety-one (56.2%) patients were asymptomatic with aneurysms found incidentally. Of the 165 aneurysms, 150 (90.9%) were unruptured. One hundred thirty-four (81.2%) were saccular, 27 (16.4%) were fusiform/dissecting, and the remaining 4 (2.4%) were blister-like. One hundred thirty-seven (83.0%) arose from the anterior circulation.

FRED deployment was impossible in 2/163 (1.2%) cases, and in an additional 4 cases (2.5%) the device was misdeployed. Overall mortality and morbidity rates were 4.3% and 7.3%, respectively, with rates of mortality and morbidity potentially related to FRED of up to 2.4% and 6.2%, respectively. Neuroimaging follow-up at 3–6 months showed complete or nearly complete occlusion of the aneurysm in 94% of cases, increasing to 96% at 12–24 months’ follow-up. Aneurysmal sac shrinkage was observed in 78% of assessable aneurysms.

CONCLUSIONS

This preliminary experience using FRED for endovascular treatment of complex unruptured and ruptured aneurysms showed a high safety and efficacy profile that is comparable to those of other FDDs currently in use.

Published: May 2019

OBJECTIVE

Fractionated Gamma Knife surgery (FGKS) has recently been used to treat large brain metastases. However, little is known about specific volume changes of lesions during the course of treatment. The authors investigated short-term volume changes of metastatic lesions during FGKS.

METHODS

The authors analyzed 33 patients with 40 lesions who underwent FGKS for intracranial metastases of non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC; 25 patients with 32 lesions) and breast cancer (8 patients with 8 lesions). FGKS was performed in 3–5 fractions. Baseline MRI was performed before the first fraction. MRI was repeated after 1 or 2 fractions. Adaptive planning was executed based on new images. The median prescription dose was 8 Gy (range 6–10 Gy) with a 50% isodose line.

RESULTS

On follow-up MRI, 18 of 40 lesions (45.0%) showed decreased tumor volumes (TVs). A significant difference was observed between baseline (median 15.8 cm3) and follow-up (median 14.2 cm3) volumes (p < 0.001). A conformity index was significantly decreased when it was assumed that adaptive planning was not implemented, from baseline (mean 0.96) to follow-up (mean 0.90, p < 0.001). The average reduction rate was 1.5% per day. The median follow-up duration was 29.5 weeks (range 9–94 weeks). During the follow-up period, local recurrence occurred in 5 lesions.

CONCLUSIONS

The TV showed changes with a high dose of radiation during the course of FGKS. Volumetric change caused a significant difference in the clinical parameters. It is expected that adaptive planning would be helpful in the case of radiosensitive tumors such as NSCLCs or breast cancer to ensure an adequate dose to the target area and reduce unnecessary exposure of normal tissue to radiation.

Abstract

Final Project is a course that must be taken by a student towards the end of his studies. This course is in the form of an independent project undertaken by the Student under the guidance of a supervising lecturer. In Psychology Faculty students to do thesis has 3 processes that must be passed so that the final project is declared has been completed such as proposal seminar process, seminar process and munaqasah process. Each process has a time limit with the provisions when crossing the limit it is considered a failure and must repeat the previous process, because the students lack of knowing the time limit of completion of each thesis process. In addition the faculty has difficulty knowing the extent to which the development of research thesis that has been done. Therefore the solution that can be done from this problem is to build a monitoring information system so that the Faculty can control students. For students the monitoring information system will be equipped with a warning feature for each stage carried out by students in the thesis course. One feature is a reminder system with tools that can be used is email. With the information monitoring system with a reminder system feature, it is expected that students will be motivated in completing their thesis quickly.

Background and objective: Passiflora incarnata (passionflower) has traditionally been used to treat insomnia and anxiety. We recently reported that an aqueous ethanol extract of passionflower (PFE) and its flavonoid glycosides enhanced the expression of Period (Per) 2, a clock gene, in mouse liver and fibroblasts. However, the influence of PFE on daily activities or emotions has not been examined in humans. Therefore, we conducted a clinical trial of PFE supplementation in healthy Japanese subjects.Methods: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study examined the effects of PFE (200 mg daily) containing 3% flavonoid glycosides (6 mg daily). We enrolled 44 Japanese men and women who were reluctant to work or doing house chore or engaging in irregular flame works. All subjects were randomly allocated into either the PFE group (n=22) or the placebo group (n=22) using a computerized random-number generator. Capsules containing either PFE or placebo were administered for 12 weeks between August 2017 and January 2018. Emotional status and sleep quality were evaluated by using the Japanese version of Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36-Item Health (SF-36) questionnaire and the Oguri-Shirakawa-Azumi (OSA) sleep inventory score at 6- and 12-week of ingestion.Results: The per protocol set comprised 20 subjects in the PFE group and 18 subjects (20 subjects for OSA and safety evaluation) in the placebo group. After intake of PFE (200 mg/day) for 6 weeks, some of the SF-36 domain scores were significantly improved compared with those of the placebo group, including the scores for role/social component summary, social functioning, and role-emotional. After 12 weeks, the scores for mental component summary and vitality showed significant improvement in the subjects taking PFE (200 mg/day) compared to those taking placebo. In contrast, none of the OSA sleep score parameters were significantly improved by PFE compared with placebo. Laboratory tests did not reveal any abnormalities suggesting adverse effects of PFE.Conclusions: Intake of PFE (200 mg/day for 12 weeks) improved several emotional parameters related to daytime social and mental activities. PFE was suggested to be useful for improving anxiety.

The objective of this study was to analyze the changes of riverbanks in Ho Chi Minh City for the period 1989-2015 using remote sensing and GIS. Combination of Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) and thresholding method was used to extract the river bank based on the multi-temporal Landsat satellite images, including 12 Landsat 4-5 (TM) images and 2 Landsat 8 images in the period 1989-2015. Then, DSAS tool was used to calculate the change rates of river bank. The results showed that, the processes of erosion and accretion intertwined but most of the main riverbanks had erosion trend in the period 1989-2015. Specifically, the Long Tau River, Sai Gon River, Soai Rap River had erosion trends with a rate of about 10.44 m/year. The accretion process mainly occurred in Can Gio area, such as Dong Tranh river and Soai Rap river with a rate of 8.34 m/year. Evaluating the riverbank changes using multi-temporal remote sensing data may contribute an important reference to managing and protecting the riverbanks.
