Partially fermented tea such as oolong tea is a popular drink worldwide. Preventing fraud in partially fermented tea has become imperative to protect producers and consumers from possible economic losses. Visible/near-infrared (VIS/NIR) spectroscopy integrated with stepwise multiple linear regression (SMLR) and support vector machine (SVM) methods were used for origin discrimination of partially fermented tea from Vietnam, China, and different production areas in Taiwan using the full visible NIR wavelength range (400–2498 nm). The SMLR and SVM models achieved satisfactory results. Models using data from chemical constituents’ specific wavelength ranges exhibited a high correlation with the spectra of teas, and the SMLR analyses improved discrimination of the types and origins when performing SVM analyses. The SVM models’ identification accuracies regarding different production areas in Taiwan were effectively enhanced using a combination of the data within specific wavelength ranges of several constituents. The accuracy rates were 100% for the discrimination of types, origins, and production areas of tea in the calibration and prediction sets using the optimal SVM models integrated with the specific wavelength ranges of the constituents in tea. NIR could be an effective tool for rapid, nondestructive, and accurate inspection of types, origins, and production areas of teas.
Microstructure-Based Fiber-To-Chip Coupling of Polymer Planar Bragg Gratings for Harsh Environment Applications

Published: September 2020

This article proposes and demonstrates a robust microstructure-based fiber-to-chip coupling scheme for planar Bragg grating devices. A polymer planar Bragg grating substrate is manufactured and microstructured by means of a micromilling process, while the respective photonic structures are generated by employing a sophisticated single-writing UV-exposure method. A stripped standard single-mode fiber is inserted into the microstructure, which is filled with a UV-curable adhesive, and aligned with the integrated waveguide. After curing, final sensor assembly and thermal treatment, the proposed coupling scheme is capable of withstanding pressures up to 10 bar, at room temperature, and pressures up to 7.5 bar at an elevated temperature of 120 °C. Additionally, the coupling scheme is exceedingly robust towards tensile forces, limited only by the tensile strength of the employed single-mode fiber. Due to its outstanding robustness, the coupling scheme enables the application of planar Bragg grating devices in harsh environments. This fact is underlined by integrating a microstructure-coupled photonic device into the center of a commercial-grade carbon fiber reinforced polymer specimen. After its integration, the polymer-based Bragg grating sensor still exhibits a reflection peak with a dynamic range of 24 dB, and can thus be employed for sensing purposes.

Published: September 2020

Human motion capture (MoCap) plays a key role in healthcare and human–robot collaboration. Some researchers have combined orientation measurements from inertial measurement units (IMUs) and positional inference from cameras to reconstruct the 3D human motion. Their works utilize multiple cameras or depth sensors to localize the human in three dimensions. Such multiple cameras are not always available in our daily life, but just a single camera attached in a smart IP devices has recently been popular. Therefore, we present a 3D pose estimation approach from IMUs and a single camera. In order to resolve the depth ambiguity of the single camera configuration and localize the global position of the subject, we present a constraint which optimizes the foot-ground contact points. The timing and 3D positions of the ground contact are calculated from the acceleration of IMUs on foot and geometric transformation of foot position detected on image, respectively. Since the results of pose estimation is greatly affected by the failure of the detection, we design the image-based constraints to handle the outliers of positional estimates. We evaluated the performance of our approach on public 3D human pose dataset. The experiments demonstrated that the proposed constraints contributed to improve the accuracy of pose estimation in single and multiple camera setting.

Published: September 2020

Point set is a major type of 3D structure representation format characterized by its data availability and compactness. Most former deep learning-based point set models pay equal attention to different point set regions and channels, thus having limited ability in focusing on small regions and specific channels that are important for characterizing the object of interest. In this paper, we introduce a novel model named Attention-based Point Network (AttPNet). It uses attention mechanism for both global feature masking and channel weighting to focus on characteristic regions and channels. There are two branches in our model. The first branch calculates an attention mask for every point. The second branch uses convolution layers to abstract global features from point sets, where channel attention block is adapted to focus on important channels. Evaluations on the ModelNet40 benchmark dataset show that our model outperforms the existing best model in classification tasks by 0.7% without voting. In addition, experiments on augmented data demonstrate that our model is robust to rotational perturbations and missing points. We also design a Electron Cryo-Tomography (ECT) point cloud dataset and further demonstrate our model’s ability in dealing with fine-grained structures on the ECT dataset.

Published: September 2020

The introduction of nonlinearities into energy harvesting in order to improve the performance of linear harvesters has attracted a lot of research attention recently. The potential benefits of nonlinear harvesters have been evaluated under sinusoidal or random excitation. In this paper, the performances of electromagnetic energy harvesters with linear and nonlinear springs are investigated under real vibration data. Compared to previous studies, the parameters of linear and nonlinear harvesters used in this paper are more realistic and fair for comparison since they are extracted from existing devices and restricted to similar sizes and configurations. The simulation results showed that the nonlinear harvester did not generate higher power levels than its linear counterpart regardless of the excitation category. Additionally, the effects of nonlinearities were only available under a high level of acceleration. The paper also points out some design concerns when harvesters are subjected to real vibrations.

Published: September 2020

The continuous cropping (CC) of major agricultural, horticultural, and industrial crops is an established practice worldwide, though it has significant soil health-related concerns. However, a combined review of the effects of CC on soil health indicators, in particular omics ones, remains missing. The CC may negatively impact multiple biotic and abiotic indicators of soil health, fertility, and crop yield. It could potentially alter the soil biotic indicators, which include but are not limited to the composition, abundance, diversity, and functioning of soil micro- and macro-organisms, microbial networks, enzyme activities, and soil food web interactions. Moreover, it could also alter various soil abiotic (physicochemical) properties. For instance, it could increase the accumulation of toxic metabolites, salts, and acids, reduce soil aggregation and alter the composition of soil aggregate-size classes, decrease mineralization, soil organic matter, active carbon, and nutrient contents. All these alterations could accelerate soil degradation. Meanwhile, there is still a great need to develop quantitative ranges in soil health indicators to mechanistically predict the impact of CC on soil health and crop yield gaps. Following ecological principles, we strongly highlight the significance of inter-, mixture-, and rotation-cropping with cover crops to sustain soil health and agricultural production.
Role of a Ketogenic Diet on Body Composition, Physical Health, Psychosocial Well-Being and Sports Performance in Athletes: A Scoping Review
Authors: Bowler Amy-Lee , Polman Remco
Published: September 2020

Background: Recently, a focus has been placed on investigating the potential benefits of adherence to a ketogenic diet in enhancing body composition, physical health, psychological well-being, and performance of athletes from various sporting disciplines. As the available research is yet to be collated and analyzed in a single review, this scoping review aims to analyze and draw conclusions from the available literature that exists on the efficacy of a ketogenic diet among athletic populations. Methods: Several primary research databases and any relevant citation lists were searched to locate appropriate studies for inclusion in this scoping review. Studies that investigated the effects of adherence to a ketogenic diet (KD), defined by a carbohydrate intake of less than 5% of total energy intake, on body composition, physical health, psychological well-being, and performance among an athletic population were included in the review. From 814 articles screened, 12 were identified as meeting the inclusion criteria and were included in the final scoping review. Results: Adherence to a KD has beneficial effects on body weight and fat mass. Varying effects were identified on physical health with the diet, eliciting positive effects on fat oxidation but potentially deleterious effects on stool microbiota and iron metabolism. Conflicting results were reported regarding the effects of a KD on sporting performance. Benefits were reported regarding athlete well-being following commencement of a KD, but only after week two. Conclusions: The results of this scoping review demonstrate that there are both beneficial and detrimental effects associated with adherence to a KD among athletic populations. It is understood that further research is required to make any concrete recommendations regarding a KD to athletes.

Published: September 2020

Coxsackievirus A8 (CV-A8) is one of the pathogens associated with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) and herpangina (HA), occasionally leading to severe neurological disorders such as acute flaccid paralysis (AFP). Only one study aimed at CV-A8 has been published to date, and only 12 whole-genome sequences are publicly available. In this study, complete genome sequences from 11 CV-A8 strains isolated from HFMD patients in extensive regions from China between 2013 and 2018 were determined, and all sequences from GenBank were retrieved. A phylogenetic analysis based on a total of 34 complete VP1 sequences of CV-A8 revealed five genotypes: A, B, C, D and E. The newly emerging genotype E presented a highly phylogenetic divergence compared with the other genotypes and was composed of the majority of the strains sequenced in this study. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis revealed that genotype E has been evolving for nearly a century and somehow arose in approximately 2010. The Bayesian skyline plot showed that the population size of CV-A8 has experienced three dynamic fluctuations since 2001. Amino acid residues of VP1100N, 103Y, 240T and 241V, which were embedded in the potential capsid loops of genotype E, might enhance genotype E adaption to the human hosts. The CV-A8 whole genomes displayed significant intra-genotypic genetic diversity in the non-capsid region, and a total of six recombinant lineages were detected. The Chinese viruses from genotype E might have emerged recently from recombining with European CV-A6 strains. CV-A8 is a less important HFMD pathogen, and the capsid gene diversity and non-capsid recombination variety observed in CV-A8 strains indicated that the constant generation of deleterious genomes and a constant selection pressure against these deleterious mutations is still ongoing within CV-A8 quasispecies. It is possible that CV-A8 could become an important pathogen in the HFMD spectrum in the future. Further surveillance of CV-A8 is greatly needed.
Multisubunit RNA Polymerases of Jumbo Bacteriophages
Authors: Sokolova Maria L. , Misovetc Inna , V. Severinov Konstantin
Published: September 2020

Prokaryotic viruses with DNA genome longer than 200 kb are collectively referred to as “jumbo phages”. Some representatives of this phylogenetically diverse group encode two DNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RNAPs)—a virion RNAP and a non-virion RNAP. In contrast to most other phage-encoded RNAPs, the jumbo phage RNAPs are multisubunit enzymes related to RNAPs of cellular organisms. Unlike all previously characterized multisubunit enzymes, jumbo phage RNAPs lack the universally conserved alpha subunits required for enzyme assembly. The mechanism of promoter recognition is also different from those used by cellular enzymes. For example, the AR9 phage non-virion RNAP requires uracils in its promoter and is able to initiate promoter-specific transcription from single-stranded DNA. Jumbo phages encoding multisubunit RNAPs likely have a common ancestor allowing making them a separate subgroup within the very diverse group of jumbo phages. In this review, we describe transcriptional strategies used by RNAP-encoding jumbo phages and describe the properties of characterized jumbo phage RNAPs.

Published: September 2020

Background

Good physical health monitoring can increase quality of life for people with dementia, but the monitoring may vary and ethnic inequalities may exist.

Aim

To investigate UK primary care routine physical health monitoring for people with dementia by: (a) ethnic groups, and (b) comorbidity status.

Design & setting

A retrospective cohort study was undertaken using electronic primary care records in the UK.

Method

Physical health monitoring was compared in people with dementia from white, black, and Asian ethnic groups and compared those with ≥1 comorbidity versus no comorbidity, from 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016. Using the Dementia:Good Care Planning framework and expert consensus, good care was defined as receiving, within 1 year: a dementia review; a blood pressure (BP) check (at least one); a GP consultation (at least one); a weight and/or body mass index (BMI) recording (at least one); and an influenza vaccination.

Results

Of 20 821 people with dementia, 68% received a dementia review, 80% at least one BP recording, 97% at least one GP contact, 48% a weight and/or BMI recording, and 81% an influenza vaccination in 1 year. Compared with white people, black people were 23% less likely and Asian people 16% less likely to have weight recorded (adjusted incidence rate ratio [IRR] = 0.77, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.60 to 0.98/0.84, 0.71 to 1.00). People without comorbidities were less likely to have weight recorded (adjusted IRR = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.69 to 0.79) and BP monitored (adjusted IRR = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.68 to 0.75).

Conclusion

Ethnic group was not associated with differences in physical health monitoring, other than weight monitoring. Comorbidity status was associated with weight and BP monitoring. Physical health monitoring in dementia, in particular nutrition, requires improvement.

The aim of this review is to summarize the effects of carbohydrate consumption on endurance sports. Due to the promotion of physical activity by health authorities, participation in endurance sports is increasing. Regardless of the level, athletes look for ways to optimize their performance through training and nutrition. In consequence, research in the field of sports nutrition has focused on those strategies that can improve performance. Fatigue during prolonged exercise is associated with depletion of muscle glycogen and reduced blood glucose concentrations. Therefore, carbohydrate feeding during exercise has shown that it can improve capacity and performance, because it helps maintain blood glucose levels, as well as, increase carbohydrate oxidation rates and preserve glycogen, finding better results when are consumed multiple-tranportable carbohydrates for absortion (e.g., fructose and glucose), since in this way is possible to increase absorption rates, gastric emptying and fluid absorption, in addition to decrease gastrointestinal distress.

This study’s aim is to deepen and enhance the linguistic dimension in Pier Paolo Pasolini's work, in the hope of restoring to his figure all the fullness of his intense and visceral relationship with the entire universe of languages. In the first part of the work we will investigate the various moments of Pasolini’s reflection on different expressive codes, from dialect to the language of cinema, from the 'Language of Reality' to the technological neo-Italian, promptly counterposed by the author’s linguistic experimentation. From here a broad lexical investigation starts - this study being the subject of the second part of this volume – with the aim of highlighting the author’s contribution to contemporary Italian (as to this day many 'keywords' from Pasolini’s universe still echo in Italian language, from «nuovo Potere» to «Palazzo», from «omologazione» to «mutazione antropologica»), thus confirming, once again, the inseparable relationship between reflection and language creativity, giving birth to a new, unique portrait of Pasolini as a 'linguist' and at the same time as an 'onomaturgist'.

Perubahan pola konsumsi pangan yang terjadi di masyarakat yaitu dari pola konsumsi pangan tradisional yang banyak mengandung pati (karbohidrat kompleks) dan serat menjadi pola konsumsi modern dengan kandungan protein, lemak, gula dan garam tinggi tetapi rendah Taru Pramana terdapat berbagai macam tumbuhan berkhasiat , salah satu nya adalah bunga Telang (Clitoria ternatea L.) dari suku Fabaceae. Menurut penelitian yang telah dilakukan, bunga Telang mengandung senyawa fenol, flavonoid, antosianin, glikosida flavonol yang berpotensi sebagai antioksidan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji aktivitas antioksidan dari ekstrak etanol 80% bunga Telang yang tumbuh di Denpasar Barat. Ekstraksi dilakukan dengan metode maserasi menggunakan elmasonik dengan pelarut etanol 80%. Pengujian diawali dengan skrining fitokimia secara reaksi tabung. Aktivitas antioksidan ekstrak etanol 80% bunga Telang ditentukan dengan metode DPPH (2,2-Difenil-1-pikrilhidrazil) secara spektrofotometri Uv-Vis. Uji aktivitas antioksidan ekstrak etanol 80% bunga Telang diukur pada pajang gelombang 516,2 nm. Hasil persentase peredaman yang diperoleh diplotkan untuk mendapatkan kurva regresi linier. Sehingga didapat persamaan y = bx + a dan nilai IC50 dihitung dari persamaan regresi linier yang diperoleh. Sesuai dengan hasil skrining fitokimia secara reaksi tabung, ekstrak etanol 80% bunga Telang mengandung metabolit sekunder flavonoid, saponin, terpenoid, dan tanin. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian aktivitas antioksidan diperoleh persamaan regresi linier yaitu y = 0.5232x + 4.0289 dengan R² = 0.9733, yang menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak etanol 80% bunga Telang memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang kuat dengan nilai IC50 sebesar 87,86 ppm.

Apotek adalah sarana pelayanan kefarmasian tempat dilakukan praktek kefarmasian oleh Apoteker yang dibantu oleh Tenaga Tekhnis Kefarmasian (TTK). Menurut hasil survei terhadap 50 konsumen Apotek, didapatkan hasil bahwa hanya 8 konsumen Apotek yang memilih tenaga kefarmasian untuk membantu memilihkan obat dalam swamedikasi. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut peneliti tertarik melakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui faktor – faktor yang mempengaruhi tingkat kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap TTK sebagai salah satu tenaga kefarmasian. Penelitian dibatasi pada faktor-faktor dari segi komunikasi khususnya di Apotek. Ditemukannya informasi-informasi yang diperlukan untuk pengembangan kompetensi TTK, khususnya dalam bidang komunikasi dengan pasien akan sangat membantu upaya peningkatan kualitas pelayanan kefarmasian. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan survei cross-sectional, dengan menggunakan sistem purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan dengan menyebarkan kuesioner terstruktur kepada 100 konsumen apotek. Kuesioner terdiri dari pertanyaan terkait faktor-faktor komunikasi eksternal (daya tarik fisik apotek, daya tarik fisik TTK, familiarity, empati, dan kedekatan) dan tingkat kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap TTK di Apotek. Data dianalisis secara bivariat menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman dan analisis multivariat menggunakan regeresi linear. Ada lima faktor yang diuji, yaitu; daya tarik fisik TTK, daya tarik fisik Apotek, empati, familiarity, dan kedekatan. Menurut hasil analisis bivariat semua faktor berpengaruh pada tingkat kepercayaan pasien kecuali faktor familiarity. Sedangkan jika diuji secara simultan menggunakan regresi linear, hanya faktor empati dan daya tarik fisik apotek yang dianggap cukup berpengaruh terhadap persamaan yang dihasilkan.
The The Need of Distance Learning in the Wake of COVID-19 in Morocco:

Owing to the rapidly ubiquitous infection of Coronavirus in Morocco and other parts of the globe, a plethora of governments have urgently resorted to implement distance learning to save the current academic year from an evitable failure. Given the non-prevalence of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in Morocco, distance learning has been a quite bold attempt to officially continue education, even after the closure of schools and campuses, without interruption with a slightly adjusted grading scale in order to lead the boat of the current academic year to a safe harbor. In this regard, many underprivileged students have benefitted from free modems and laptops, the case of Euromed University of Fes (UEMF). This great initiative has enabled the aforementioned students to enjoy the full experience of distance learning. As for secondary schools and most public institutions, the supply of electronic devices has almost been lacking. One should know that the government has taken some modest initiatives, such as offering free access to a few platforms, national channels, and official pages of the aforesaid ministry, namely TelmidTICE. It must be noted that distance learning, in Morocco, has continuously undergone various challenges during COVID-19 ranging from content and pedagogy to assessment and evaluation. Having used both quantitative and qualitative research for the purpose of gathering relevant data by means of questionnaire and participant observation, we have been able to ferret out the real challenges that are structurally embedded and ramified in the application of distance learning whose infrastructure must be constantly buttressed via empirical research and quality teacher training to better respond to different learning needs and styles, and simultaneously combat digital illiteracy.
